He said he could see no reason for

Will Use Canoe Hunting Whales
 in Northern Sea
Seattle Times)

The whales which move along leads in the Arctic ice, off bleak Alaskan capes, are bigger than the greatest elephant that ever lived Hunting them, in frail canoe, is as exciting and sometimes as dead ly, as pursuit of any big game in the world. But until this year big game hunters have overlooked them.
 They probably will not overlook them much longer.
 When Trader Jim Allen of Vain wright, a veteran of forty years in the Arctic, sails north from Seattle reXt Saturday on the steamship Yukon Joseph Lilly, Des Moines, Iowa, hunter, will go with him to sample the sport which Eskimos have known for centuries, but which few white men have tried
 A Record, Indeed
 Allen, who first went to the Arc tic in 1885 aboard the steam whal- ing barque Jessie H. Freeman, prob ably has killed more whales from a canoe than any white man alive thirty-two of them.
 A big man who looks younger than his sixty years, he sat today at the Benjamin Franklin Hotel, and talked about stalking the great est animals in the world.
 Tn the spring he said, leads of open water appear in the ice off the coast That's where you hunt the whales. You go out for five or six or seven miles across the ice by dog team, with a light skin boat. When you find lead in the ice you launch the boat, with five CT six natives to paddle.
 Up in the bow of the canoe you have two darting guns-harpoons with a charge of power in the end which will drive a bomb into the whale
 When you see a whale you get up as close to him as you can. Then you drive the darting guns into him near the blow hole. The bombs shoot in, and after ten sec- ends they explode. You keep your canoe right next to him. Then if

he rolls as he goes under or thrashes about he just shoves the canoe away. If you are close he might hit you with his flukes.
 There are floats attached to lines on the harpoons. When the whale dives he has to drag these under, and it tires him. He has to come up in the lead to breathe, and you can follow him. If he dies under the ice, of course, he is lost, but usually you get him. so
 Aliens introduction to the Arc tic was a harsh one. A native of San Francisco he shipped out on the rwhaler Jessie R. Freeman as first assistant engineer in 1895. The ship rounded Point Barrow and hunted for two years, wintering at an Arctic island Then, in 1897, she was wrecked in the ice and AL len spent another winter at Point Barrow. a
