A WALRUs ON LAND.
The Awkward and Bulky Creature Is
 Almost Helpless.


 Almost Helpless.
 As might be expected, walruS Is about us helpless on land uH a canal boat It iS with no little difficulty and much hitching and laundering that he drugs his huge bulk upon A sandy shore even with the boosting he gets from behind by the breakers as they roll in and dash against him.
 His hind tiippers are Of little use on land, and on sand or pebbles. where his front flippers do not hold well. the labor of tioundering forward Is 50 great that he never stirs beyond the edge of the water and usually lies with his body half awnsh. with the salt spray dashing over him like torrents of rain On solid rock or ice he gets along much better, and often a herd will spread several rods back from the wa ters edge.
 The females and younger walruSes have far less development of neck tU inrumber them and therefore enjoy more freedom of motion than the old males, who actually seem q great bur den to themselves. These creatures are strictly social in their habits and always go in herds. whether travelling feeding. lighting or resting ashore Ill the daYs.s heffra the slailg ghf1as fifiGss rTEafhFes became q FhHng f..s sion In the 5lrenst of man the. llArifi- slse..ies inhabited tla' n9.s of. aleFing sea and stTalit in herds which often contained thousands and even tens of thousands of individuals.
