nearly as bad as in 1905, which was the
worst since 1898. Two Of the feet of "a
vessels were wrecked, and the numbeE
OF skins secured by the Others fell short
OF last years total by close on 100, ,OOO

10000 lbs. in money value. The total num-
her Of seals killed was just over 245, 600,
the market price being S4.2O per hun
