taken on the Pribiloff islands by the
North American Commercial company
which leases the sealing rights from
the government. The report should
have been received by August 10. but
nothing has been heard from Mr..
Lembkey. The fact that there were
known to be a number of Japanese
pelagic sealing expeditions in the vi.
cinity Of the islands, is the chief
cause for the alarm. Mr.. Lembkey took
