TO HUNT SEA ELEPHANTS
The Voyage of the Brig Daisy t.
Desolation Islands.

New Bedford Letter, in N. Y. Herald.
The Brig Daisy sailed this week un-
der command of Capt Benjamin D.
Cleveland, her owner, for Desolation
Islands, on sea elephant hunt, to be
gone about two years.
This will be Capt. Cleveland's
fourth voyage for sea elephants, and
probably his last. Then the animals
will be without an enemy until some
daring whalernan decides to visit the
isolated land for hides and elephant
OIL
When the Daisy reaches the is
lands it will be spring, although there
is no mild season there. Hurricanes
and storms give continuous perform
ances and there is no vegetation, ex-
cept a wild plant that resembles the
cabbage. The brig will be anchored
in landlocked harbor with which
Capt Cleveland is acquainted, while
the crew is killing elephants on shore.
The men will make trips ashore at
daylight every morning and visit the
haunts Of the sea elephants. The
killing is done on land, and catch
is almost certain.
Before Capt. Cleveland made his
first voyage, in 1897, no hunter had
visited Desolation for 20 years, and
the elephant population was very
large. In the bark Swallow he
brought back about 1000 barrels oi
oil, the product of about 1900 ele,
plants. In the Robert S. Graham he
returned with 2,4oo barrels, and BY
the brig Lenora, three years ago, his
catch was 2,6oo barrels. Said Capt
Cleveland:
"The sea elephants are found il
herds, sc-.etimes hundreds together
To kill them we use rifles, lances anc
clubs, the largest bulls requiring ri

ing beasts, as their noses protrude
when approached and their mouth:

have important results. That water
transportation is feasible was proven
long before the present generation
was born. 1t was again shown when
the Highlander a couple of years
ago did a fine business between here
and Georgetown, but was unfortu-
nately destroyed by fire. The posi-
bilities of water transportation and
the success of the Highlander induced
the business men of Columbia to build
q new boat, The City of Columbia" "
which was launched this afternoon
with the best wishes and plaudits of
hundreds of Columbians.
The launching took place at the
loot OF Senate street, where per
manent wharf is to be built.
The City of Columbia was built at
the riverside, and Capt. Graham, who
has constructed many river freight
boats, says that this is the best yes
sci he has ever built.
President w. J. Murray, who has
been the inspiration and worker OF
the undertaking, in introducing Presi-
dent Washington A. Clark, the presi-
dent of the Chamber of Commerce,
said that he was satisfied that Colum-
bia had made no mistake in going into
the river transportation venture.
DR.. Murray said that when thirty
days ago the board had been assured
that river navigation could be resum-
ed he felt that this meant very much
for the business interests Of Colum-
bia.
