SEALING

On an Island known as Biorka is a little village of tents. The mighty waves of the great Pacific beat all around them but they are safely sheltered by high walls of granite which jut out on either side of the camp forming a beautiful harbor for their boats. Countless ages of ceaseless war between the air and water have ground portions of these rocks into the finest of sand and have formed most beautiful beach of dazzling whiteness very different from the average rocky coasts of Alaska. It is the hunting vil- lage of many of the native seal hunters from Sitka and is occupied during the months of April and May each year while the seal herd are passing north.
 During the season the camp is very bright and full of life. The hunters have moved in with their entire families. All day long the beach is covered with happy children playing in the sand while the mothers are busy in the

The boat is stocked with three days food and water in case of storms when the boats many be driven out to sea or on some dis tant island. There is much friendly rivalry in getting to sea.
 Day may just be breaking, the signs in the sky are favorable, a slight noise is heard at the far end of the camp. Some crew is trying to slip utnoiselessly but some one has been careless. An oar falls against the boat. That is enough. In a moment the beach is covered with running shouting men. Oars, sails, and masts are thrown in, the boats are launched

A shot gun is used with heavy shot, the men loading the shells themselves using hammer on the wadding and putting in a load so heavy that the recoil would knock man down on land, but makes very little difference in the boats as they give back when the gun is fired. Then comes the run home in evening or before if the wealth CT has changed and storm is coming. At nine or ten at night the first warm meal of the day is eaten, and then the tired men sleep. This year has been very stormy so it was impossible to go out often and when they did go it was only to find a fleet of schooners from Japan which stay on the sealing grounds and send out their small boats as the wind goes down and either get or scare away all the seal before the native hunters can arrive. The na- tives are not allowed to hunt in schooners and must stand by and see the seal taken by the Japs. Why must this law be kept on the books? We are not governed by the Medes and Persians.
