looked like the rapids of Niagara. =,
The worst night of the trip, May 3. found
ell the animals wishing there was no sea
on the map. Even the trainers were IN
dist ress. especially the women, who might
stroke the names of lions but not the name
of Inc sNa. Two Russian wolves became
involved in an argument and one OF them
got the better Of the other. Their scrap
set the whole space between decks bowling,
yelping, ~groaning and snarling. The com
mon sailor man, accustomed to the plain
growl of the combers, got an attack OF
nerves when the beasts began to join IN
the storm chorus.
the vanauished wolf squeezed out be-
tween tho bars Of his cage and ran for the
companion ladder leading from the after

Tho wolf had hardly vanished when a
greater racket than ever stirred theb bowels
Of the liner. Two lions, Victor and Madame,

All the animals were tremendously .ex-

cage got its head far enough out to bite.

this was n pretty good time to tackle an
Ordinary secular horse in a stall opposite.
The horse gave the sacred u a few swift
kicks which temporarily checked his on

about TO finish the horse when the keepers
interfered and took the bull back to his
stall, lettering him securely.
Every trainer aboard spent only a few
hours in sleep on the half dozen stormy
nights Of the trip. The only really sweet
creatures in the bunch were the polar bears
On deck. They got a washing down with
the ships hose every night n morning,
and were In good humor even when the
temperature got up to the summer notch
yesterday.
Only one of the white bears had shown
symptoms Of disagreeableness. His shipmate,
was a hyena, with which he had been Gagged
many months. When the sea got on its
hind legs the hyena got on his and tried
to lick the amiable bear The bear stood
il about a minute and then gave the hyena
several swats that made the fur fly. The
