Hawkins remembered those words
in the letter years later when he went

Hawkins looked around. Yes, there

A Polar mother bear, as white as
the SHOWS OF her native land, was
floating, on huge iceberg, down the
broad channel that separates North
America from Greenland. Beside
her was her cub.
Bears Of this species are often car
ried long distances on floating ic,,,
and they are powerful swimmers. able
to traverse many miles of sea, even
when it is free from ice.
This bear with her cub had evident
ly been many days on the berg that
was now carrying them.
At last the heat of the ever-risins
sun became so intense that cataract
began to pour down the sides of the
immense berg, deluging the bear
ard her cub and compelling her to
seek a place OF shelter under a pro-
jecting cliff on the northerly side of
the berg, whose upper portions rose
into sharp peaks. They were almost
without food, having only the scanty
remains of the last walrus that the
mother had captured.
"See yorder. mother" said the cub
There is a strange thing OIL the sea.
1t cannot be a seal or a walrus."
The mother bear looked in the di-
rection indicated and saw, crossing
the brilliant band that the moon
beams laid upon the water, ship
with sails set, and black as ebony
against the cleaning background.
II have heard of things like thai"
she said, "but | have never before
seen one. 1t is huge creature of the
sea, larger than many whales togeth-

| remember to have heard that it is
from this hot world into which we
are floating that they come. If only
could see a shore in any direction

it. But perhaps they will not come
near us"
That night the two bears watched
the ship, and then, as it seemed to get
no nearer, they slept. But in the
morning, when they awoke, the ship.

In the meanwhile an unknown
agency had been preparing catas-
trophe. The berg had drifted so far
south that it was now i'll water so
warm that the submerged ice dis
solved rapidly, and just at the mo-
n1ent when fire was opened from the
ship the berg lost its balance and
turned over. The vast mass weighed
millions of tons, and its revolution
churned the sea into maelstrom.
The ship. was almost wrecked by
the waves that rushed upon it, and
the bears went down. But the moth
er managed to cling to her child, and
her experience enabled her to bring
both to the surface amid the tossing
fragments of ice.> In moment they
we're seen from the ship, which had
escaped serious injury, and bullet
in the brain ended the mothers life.
But boat put off and took the cub
aboard.
Years afterward huge white bear,
nine feet long, and weighing 500
pounds, was the wonder-piece of a
great geological garden. The keep
er told how she had been taken at sea
when cub, and had been brought up
in her cage and her artificial der
made to look as much as possible
like pile of Arctic ice blocks. The
keeper always wound up his story by
saying: Her mother was killed.
They were on an iceberg; it rolled
over; they came up, and | myself shot
the mother, for she was too big and
fierce to take aboard, and then we
caught the cub"
Once when he was telling this a
little girl, with eyes like bits OF sky,
turned to her mother and said:
