Ocean on the Siberian side of ne
world. where the Nanuk. with its
mixed crew of whites and Aieuts,.
operated during the late summer.
Walrus seemed more numerous
than in many years, according 70
Capt r. Fl. Wedding. OF 70 years
experience. On a single cake OF ice
the captain counted several hundred
and an estimated $500 in another
large herd on floes. They sleep

stood by. native hunters, armed
with heavy rifles, approached the
ice in small launches.
To kill a WalruS the rifle bau
must penetrate the eye cavity. The
hide on the body is tough enough
to stop any bullet. Several very
aged walrus bulls were taken. IN
whose hides were found old-fash-
Toned lead bullets and the heads
of Eskimo harpoons. If not killed
instantly. the walrus flop off the
ice and sink into the sea. Wafrus
hunting is so tame that keen sports
men would not care to engage in
it. but as a money-making propo-I
sition, Captain wedding finds IL
