and started crawling seal fashion. A

thought he was close enough to shoot.

and again Four times altogether. and
down went the seal. Instead of the
seal being forty yards, as he thought,
it was 1875 yards. Crawford had
crawled for about two hours through

Although the boys were out on the
ice early and late, during the entire
season they succeeded in bagging
only forty seals all told. If they had
been adept hunters each OF them
might have killed that number. Ger

The sun never set. In its slow CTR
cling IL dropped close to the horizon
at midnight and stood high in the
heavens at noon. Seals. abandoning
their holes, came up to bask in the
warmth. And with the coming of
spring and that seasons renewed ac-
tivities the boys spirits rose. They
felt a gratitude toward the woman
who had seen them through" the
rigors or an arctic winter. In
knights words:

on doing that work as well as the sew

The diary shows that game was plen-
tiful during the spring months. This
is the great harvest period for the arctic
hunter. If he is living off the country
he must spend every ounce of his
energy in the quest for food. He must

assume his role the instant the blunt,
bewhiskered muzzle of the animal
rises from the ice. A good sealer can
almost always get within Atty yards
before shooting. Frequently 1t takes
as long as two hours TO stalk q seal.
Kill Seal at Last.
The boys on Wrangef Island stalked
eight seals before they got one. Craw-
ford was the first To make killing,
a fact which Knight registers jubi-
lantly III his diary entry of May 80.
AT last! Crawford got a seal
while out taking a few soundings
through cracks and seal holes. A nice
shot at eighty yards"
1t was to be their last for a long
time. Hard luck dogged their foot
steps. A typical entry during tho
June hunts reads:
Yesterday Crawford saw two seals
to the south and he failed to get a
shot at them. Next, Gale saw lone
seal to the southwest and missed at a
distance Of siXty-three yards. He pre-
viously went to the seal hole, but the

The boys appreciated the need to
make the most of these days. They
worked early and late, but because
OF inexperlence they dissipated their
energy.
Seal hunting is al art which requires
skill and patience. 1t takes most white
men years to master the technique:
The seal Is Il suspicious animal.
When he is doing on the ice he takes
up ms position on the edge of an open
lead or beside his breathing hole, and

In the first entry of the new year
Knight, speaking once more of the
dogs, says: The dogs are weak from
lack OF proper food. and it is all we
can do to get them home with one
load Of wood" That same day he
records the party's decision to aban-
don the trapping camp for the pres

Stick to Main Camp.
Last night Crawford came from

and have only caught one fox, and as
the wood is SO very hard TO haul, we
think the best thing to do is for every

Knight makes an entry typical of

Poor Knight did not realize what

as he Is old enough. to climb of his
mothers back, that whenever a seal
thinks he sees a man he takes to his
hole. 1t is only when he has been
hoodwinked into imagining he sees

But for Maurer the party would
