Decline of the Alaskan Fur-Seal
Herd From 1874 to 1909.
Causes of Present Difficulty.

The present difficulty lies in three facts
The first is the total absence OF seal
treaty with Japan: as result of which
a great fleet of about thirty Japanese
vessels manned by more than 900 deter
mined men annually kills seals of all
kinds everywhere outside the three-nlile
limit of waters surrounding the seal is-
lands. During the midsummer breeding
season the poachers' vessels hover like a
flock of hungry vultures around the seal

to one hundred and eighty miles north

they find their food. from the moment
When they are more than three miles from

female animal while it is sucking its
young is. in any country and on any sea,
