AVIATORS WILL HUNT
IN SEARCH FOR SEALS
Fur Men Engage AerOplanes to
Overcome Winter Difficulties.

New York.-No ice pack hereafter
viii prevent a successful seasons catch
of seals. Aeroplanes have been en-
gagged by the sealing companies of the
northern states and Canada. with ex-
pert aviators to help locate the herds.
The preparation for the coming sea-
son have been thrust upon caller by
the disastrous ice conditions along The
eastern coast and the gulf of ST. Law
renee. All last winter constant inshore
winds piled hummocks of ice wherever
the water Swallowed.
These high walls of broken ice pre-
vented the lookouts ON the sealing
steamers and sailing vessels from To-
eating the seal herds. As a result the
catch was one OF the smallest ON rec
ord, the total being less than $4,000
pelts. This has meant a financial loss
to the sealing companies of not less
than $250.00O.
Cruising along the shores, h aero
planes will follow scouting tactics. not
only locating the herds, but returning
to the vessels and plotting them TO
the navigable channels through the ice.
AS these "leads" change from hour 10
hour. the need for the aviator is con
slant This will prevent fruitless
months of search on the part of the
sailing vessels.
Moreover. the aeroplanes will be able
to report adverse ice conditions at a
distance, SO that vessels will be able to
make their way TO a point OF safety
before the heralded ice pack comes
down TO crush them. This alone will
mean the saving of many vessels. an
nually caught by the ~treacherous foe.
Owing to the restriction on the kill
Ing of fur seals. which are extinct ex-
cept In the Boring sea. the pelt of the
true seal is in great demand. The
greater ease in locating the herds will
give the sealing companies the oppor-
tunity to select the bigger and more
mature animals.
