The Seal Rocks

The seal rocks are situated just outside
of San Francisco bay. They have hun
dreds of seals and sea lions living upon
them.
There are three of these rocks that can
be seen from the Cliff house. Thousands
of people visit the Cliff house every Sunday
TO look at the seals. When storm is
seen coming the seals leave the rocks and
swim miles out to sea to keep from being
dashed to pieces on the rocks.
In early spring the seals disappear. No
body has ever found out where they go.
They come back in late autumn, and here
they spend their winter.
