Los Angeles herald., 1906-08-05

Presently the mate, holding on by strain
ing baclstay, listened intently. 1--WE must
be running down ON the Komandorskies-yo
can hear the sea-catchies now," he said; and
an Indian hailed from the bows, ''Rookery
noise ahead"
Now, the winter haunts of the fur-seal are
not knowp to any man, though few out Of
the countless millions are met with all the
way from the far Antarctic ice to the islands
of Japan. Each year, however, the endless
herds return when spring comes round, to
two groups Of little islands in the misty. Ber-
ing Sea, Then the big sealbulls haul out
through the fringe of surf which eternally
rings about each shingle spit or sandy beach
of the little Komandorskies or sea- beaten Pri-
byloffs, and, for fourteen days or whereabouts,
fight desperately. and often to the death, for
la few square yards in the rookery. When the
fierce struggle is over, and legion after legion,
the COW seals come up out OF the sea, for six
long weeks the sea-catchie apparently neither
eats nor sleeps, but keeps grim watch over his
seraglio, roaring incessant defiance to any that
approach, The sound of this contention rings
out through fog and darkness; for if in the
short summer there is no real night in the
Bering Sea, SO thick is the air with moisture
that there is often no real day, and the
whalers cropping northwards listen for it as
they would for a lightship gun.
Meantime, the holluschuckie, or young
bachelor seals, haul out in turn, but THY
must herd apart, and are slain in hundreds
by the lessees of the isles, and, it is more
than suspected, by the free-lance 5edler, 100.
When about two months are over, the fur
seals take themselves away, and touch no
land, SO far as human knowledge goes, until
after securing the breadth Of the Pacific, they
return the following year to the very same
beach again.
Cooper island" said the skipper. 81
know the roar of the big rookery WELL There's
lots of good ice water in the lagoon behind
Baranof head and Avatchka reef breaks the
run of the sea. We must risk it, and slip
in there"
cts certain con6scation, with those fresh
caught skins aboard" warned the mate;
There's generally gunboat hanging round,
and you would never convince her commander
that you didn't kill the seals ashore; still, |
suppose we'll have to chance it. Get the port
anchor over, and be handy with the lead"
With that misunderstanding knowledge which
is better than any chart, Fletcher CROPPED his
vessel shorewards by the lead and the din of
the rookery until he could hear the ground
swell grinding the iron teeth of the reefs
and dim black head loomed out more solid
than the mist
"rhere, you see the long kelp streamers,
forty feet Of water beyond, he said, jamming
the helm alec. "Stand by TO let go your
mudhook" and the schooner swept in a long
shoot to windward ere the anchor thundered
down. Then the order was, "Furl the head
sails loosely; let the fore and alters stand.
Get over the two best doriesi the mate viii

go ashore. Come back as quickly as may be,
and listen for any sound. 1t means jail IN
Vladivostok if the Russians catch us here"
The mate went ashore in the dory, and
managed to make landing in the shelter of
the head. Then they filled the six-hooped
breakers with melted ice and snow, and while
they rolled them towards the beach-ne, the
mate sat down to wait. At times the sky
became flushed with a curious gray light, not
unlike dawn at home, but this was always
a thickening of the haze, while the darkness
was filed with the tumult of the crowded
rookery- AT first the uproar was deatenln9,
but when his ears got used to the chaos OF
sound, he could hear the roar of the ground
swell and the backwash hurrying down. Then
there was clatter Of feet on the shingie be
hind him, as the crew brought the last of the
breakers in, and one old hunter, who worked
on shares, said suggestively, There's thou
sands of holluschuckie-we could skin few
scores in an hour"
NO" was the mates gruf answer We've
run this cruise on the square, and she's near
ly full to the matches with. honestly taken
skins. Launch the first dory handy, and IN
go off ahead. The skipper will be getting
anxious If we stay away too long"
The men waded almost to their shoulders in
the backwash ere the loaded craft was run
through the surf when roller went frothing
out. Then, while two of her crew flung out
the brine, the rest pulled easy, and al bent
the shelter of the head. The breeze was
freshening fast from seaward, and it was all
that they could do to drive her out through
the long and steep-backed roll.
mo help for it, empty two breakers. It's
either the water or us" said the mate, as a
creamy smother Tapped in across the side.
Then he glanced aloft at the wreaths of whiri-
ing scud, again at the heaving waste astern,
adding anxio1sly more wind all the time,
and cant see the other dory. Can anyone
hear oars~
"It took the two crews all they knew to
launch this boat through. l should say they re
waiting for smooth, or are picking them
hunter, who pulled the nearest oar. Then
the man broke out, sharply, There's some
thing else than oars; it's like the humping
Of engines A Russian gunboat, sure"
'"Vast pulling" said the mate, "but keep
her head 10 sea, or she'll roll US out to the
threshers. watercasks and all"
So the men kept very silent, and the mate
stared with all his eyes, until he made out a
glimmer of luminous vapor swinging through
the haze.
So the mate held his breath and waited,
until voice cried aloud in Russian when he
started half-upright in the stern sheets, but
seaman pulled him down. They're hea wing
the lead and feeling their way under 'Vatchka
reef" the man said, softly. Let them go,
then Wen pull like mad, or the skipper will
be slipping his anchor-he knows what 'Vlos-
tok means"
"The skipper won't go without you," said
the mate in a whisper. Thank goodness,
she's gone ahead. Pull now, hard and steady,
or We'll be blown ashore again.
After much weary labor they reached the
schooner's side, and Fletcher's face was anx-
ious as he listened TO their tale. I'VE might
slip the anchor and run for 1t now. but

Millions for Water.
(Sunset Magazine.)

An act of most transcendent impor-
lance in the story Of Los Angeles, Cal,
has taken place recently. A few weeks
ago the electors of the city, rolling up
the greatest majority ever polled at any
of their bond elections, declared over
whelmingly for mourning a bonded in
debtedness. which virtually means the
ultimate expenditure of $21, 500, 000-
The initial bond issue, which is for ST.
SEQ, 600, secures rights to literal rivers
Of water from the heart of the mighty
Sierra. By this act has been acquired
title to an exhauStless water supply
from the Overs River, sufficient unto
the needs when a greater Los Angeles
ray claim a million and a half souls as
her own. A huge, covered concrete
conduit, over 200 miles long-including
tunnels through mountain ridges-large
enough to carry 10000 inches of water.
and a mammoth storage reservoir i'm
the San Fernando Basin, are i'm the
plans of the builders.
