little creature, the lions all tumbed into the
sea and disappeared, with a great noise of de-
tiance it seemed.
Mortified and chagrned at the defeat, the
captain ordered the release of the struggling
whining, baby-sea-lion and it joined its fam
lily some distance out from shore, bobbing up

coast for a number of miles either way; the
captain was about to 90 away to some other

a loud wrangling and barking announced
their approach to the same rugged beach be
meath the cliffs.
"It was now or never with US, and the cap
tain began preparations anew. A few of the
men were sent for boats to go around and
approach by sea, so as to cut off and drive
back the sea-ons from the water and thus
procure double advantage
"The men had some trouble in procuring
boats and the captain grew uneasy as the
lions made several attempts to desert the bed

In Australian waters the species are quite
distinct from those of the Pacific Coast, and
also japanese waters. The tusks are more
pronounced, and to those not familiar to such
sea denzens, the walrus is confused with the
seal and the sealion.
For many years the demand for the fur
caused such relentless hunting and killing
that but for the government restrictions, this
salt water mammalian would have, long ere
this been more completely eXterminated than
the great bison of the North American prai-
ries.
As TO the manner of capturing the sea-ions,
Il resume of the previous article, in which an
intelligent observer wrote a most excellent
description. To furnish a frst-class living
specimen to some Eastern institution of learn
ing was the cause for the hunt.
Several men, among them some who were
expert with the lariat, formed the capturing
party
For some reason, however, the sea-lions did
not visit their old haunts for several days, and

fourth Henry, was introduced.
At the sight of naked swords he drew his
own, placed himself upon the side of the most
feeble and fought desperately.
The swords clashed, and shattered every.
thing within their reach. The lamp fell and
was extinguished, but each struck at random
in the darkness. The clashing of the swords
continued for a time, then abated gradually,
and at last ceased entirely.
When all was quiet the old woman yentured
out of the corner in which she had hidden her
self in her terror, relighted the lamp and saw
the four young men extended upon the ground,
each with a wound.
They raised themselves, one after the other
for fatigue, rather than their wounds, had
oyerthrown them-and, ashamed of what had
happened, began to laugh, and said:
Come, let us sup in harmony, and without
enmity."
But when they would have found the sup
per, it was upon the earth. trampled under
their feet, and utterly spoiled. Slender as it
was, they regretted it..
On the other hand the cabin was destroyed,
ard its owner sat in corner, with her burn
ing eyes fixed upon the young men.

AT these words, the gentleman approached
the table to satisfy his hunger but at the
same instant new knock upon the door ar
rested his steps.
The old woman again opened it, and as be
fore, cavalier, drenched with rain, demanded
hospitality.
She readily granaed it, and bringing the
newcomer into the room, saw that it was
again young man and gentleman.

Both were named Henry.
The woman learned from their conversation
that they belonged to a hunting party, led
by King Charles TX, which the storm had sep
arated.
"Old woman" said the newcomer, "hast
thou nothing to give us to eat"
Nothing" she replied.
Then" said he, eve must share"
The first Henry made a grimace, but look

fear he will take the whole"
They seated themselves face to face at the
table, and one had taken his dagger to cut the
loaf, when a third knock was heard. The
meeting was singular 1t was again young
man, again gentleman, again Henry. The
old woman regarded them with amazemeent.
The first would have concealed the bread
and cheese The second replaced them upon
the table, and laid his sword beside them.
The third Henry smiled;

"The supper" said the first Henry, "be-

The third Henry became red with anger,
and said, haughtily:
perhaps it belongs, to the one who kpows
best how to conquer"
These words were scarcely spoken, when

followed his example. As they were beginning
TO fight, there was a fourth knock, and a

never-ending attraction to the visitors, and be-

aim was the securing of the pelts have been

Some time ago an article, headed similar to
this, appeared in The Boys and Girls Maga-

wiped the Queen City of the Pacific out of ex-
istence, there have been many inquiries as to
whether or not the seals had been destroyed
at their rookery among the Frisco rocks
Among these queries were number which
seemed to confuse the querists as to seals and
sea-lions.
The sea-lions are very much larger than are
the seals, and are somewhat inclined to be
ferocious when disturbed. The species is
known to piscatoria professors as of the

Mr.. Fry is a guard at the peniten-
