TWO ORPHAN SEALS AT zoo.
They Are Fed on Smells and They
Fletcherize Their Food.

Two of the little orphan fur seals that
were brought from Alaska by the reve-
nue. cutter Bear on her last trip from the
far north. have arrived in Washington
and are safely cavorting in a pool of Po-
tomac water at the Geological Park. near
the sea lion tank. DR.. Frank Baker, SUI
perintendent of the Zoo. says that since
arriving at their new home Wednesday
they have been as lively ais young seals
can be expected to be. The little fell
lows were born probably the latter part
of June or the first of July. Their COM
bined weight is forty-one pounds. Smells
about five inches in length are fed to
them, but Principal Keeper Blackburne
says they seem to swallow them with
difficulty. They spend a great deal Of
time in their mastication, and go over
their food a number of times before they
attempt to swallow it. The water in which
they are kept is ordinary Potomac water
just as it comes from the city water
MAINS
Two of their mates in their trip from
Alaska were taken to the New York
Aquarium Wednesday. The remainder,
except one which died. were left in the
west, two at the Golden Gate Park at
San Francisco. and four, which managed
to escape, in Lake Washington, at Seat
tie.

sci was fourteen days on the trip and
Capt. Murphy states that she had bad
weather almost from the start. at was
particularly bad said Capt. Murphy,
when We We're off Cape Hatteras. For
three days We were afraid to tack the
vessel about for fear of swapping her.
and as it was she shipped tons upon tons
Of water over her decks.
with the exception of losing some of
our sails, We made out fairly we'll and
escaped further damage. We were at
Port Inglis when the hurricane of October
II struck, but the worst passed to the
eastward Of that port and very little
damage was done"
The officers of the steamship Indrani, at
Baltimore from Glasgow by way of St.
Johns, N. F., had battled with gales all
the way across the Atlantic. Sailing from
Glasgow October .. the Indrani struck
solid gales and mountainous seas, and
was fourteen days making the passage to
st. Johns, where under ordinary condi-
tons the trip is made in ten and One-half
days.
The decks of the Indrani were q con-
slant swirl OF water. the officers report,

SURVIVE HARD GALES.
SchoOners Baxter and TWohy Ride
Out October Storms.

The schooner Mary l.. Baxter, one of
the fleet which was reported lost in
the great storm that swept the south
Atlantic and gulf coasts October 1917
last, is at Baltimore, apparently none
the worse for her hard fight with the
elements. In the storm the Baxter lost
her foretopmast. flying jibboom and
headgear. These were replaced at
Tampa. and the vessel resumed her
trip to the Chesapeake. Capt. Dow
states that the storm was one of the
worst he ever experienced in all his
long service as master Of sailing craft
He says:
We sailed from Tampa October ID,
and when the hurricane struck US We
were anchored twenty miles south of
Tampa bar, where we lay for forty
eight hours, pitching and diving in the
mountainous seas Notwithstanding we
had two anchors out, each weighing
$500 pounds. with $50 feet of chain
to each. We dragged about forty miles,
SO strong was the wind and sea.
"The night of october II was the
worst and it was while the ship was
diving bows under the heavy seas that
II the foretopmast, which was held
aloft by one wire stay, and was swing
ing back and forth like batter1ng ram
at every Iurch of the vessel On the
, afternoon Of the 18th. the wind and sea
subsiding, we hove in the anchors. ana
afoul of the starboard anchor cable
was the missing jibboom. which was
hauled on deck.
..The report that we were picked up
by a tug and tOwed back to Tampa is
incorrect, for We sailed the vessel all
the way to that port, where repairs
we're made which enabled us to sail

long overdue on a voyage from New
