SEALS ARE TENDER IN
 TEACHING YOUNG TO SWIM
Babe Seal as Helpless in Water as a
 Human Baby Would
Be

Ninilchik. Alaska, May 15.-Ma- ternal discipline is as pronounced among the hair seal families as among human beings, according to men who have spent many years along the shores of Cook Inlet and have studied aquatic life there.
 From the time a baby seal is laid snugly within a bed of dry seaweed until he receives a final spanking and is directed to rustic for himself, he is subjected to unrelenting discipline. Contrary 10 popular belief, baby seal is as helpless in the water at birth as a human baby would be. It must be taught to swim and instructed in all the lore of seal life, including how to hunt food and escape its enemies.
 Charles Coach, who has made hair seal hunting business for years, says he has watched a mother seal teach ing her baby to swim. The mother would founder out on the rookery,

gather the baby under her Ripper and slip carefully into the water. Suspend ing the baby on her flipper, she would bark, grunt. whine and wheedle to in dicate what was desired. If the baby refused to perform, it was efectivel! spanked with the mothers Ripper. The young seal gradually learns to swim by floundering few strokes at a time, with the mother snatching ii from danger every time it becomes exhausted or starts to sink.
 Some of the beach combers adopt baby seals as pets. They become as faithful as dogs and. if one decides to banish them. are as hard to get rid of as cats. An instance was cited where q baby seal was taken out to sea in the hope that it would reunite with it's herd. About midnight there was a plaintive vail at the cabin door. Like the traditional cat, the seal had come back. He howled until he was admitted to the family circle and fed a piece of fish.
