Soon we had the mother bear skinned and her carcass showed I had fired four fatal shots through her body, not one lodg- ing. I also had fired through one of the cubs twice, both shots through the shoulders, neither bullet lodging. I had used a Win chester 290 grain soft point and not one jacket was found in any carcass. One piece of bone was found in the heart.
 As we made our return trip to the cannery tender, some 15 miles away, the twilight was beautiful amid the snow-capped mountains. About midnight we pulled under the lights of the tender and all hands were on deck to help us roll our kill a. board. Coffee was offered to us and we were glad for a few hours rest. We pulled anchor and in about three hours we tied up at Port Bailey, leaving only a short distance to make on home with our dory.

 and beaches with our field glasses and soon we located three bears Tn a grassy opening almost direct iy above us As we brought our kicker to halt a large mother bear brought her family of two out Tn plain sight. With a cub on either side of her they sat down on the precipice overlook Ing Us and watched us row for the beach.
 We rounded a point out of her sight, anchored the dory, gath cred what ammunition we need ed and started the climb. I felt sure Of our kill if we could keep out of sight and were not noisy. AS we ascended the grassy ridges well back from sight and hearing or the hear we paused now and then to get our breath and set tie our nerves, knowing that we mlghtneed steady shooting when approching a mother and her cubs, and also the possibility of a male bear.
 After 45 minutes of climbing I figured we were a little above our prey. We crossed another little ridge and halted ready for a shot any moment I was to take the mother and Dennis and Bill were each to shoot a cub.
 We eased out to little ridge and not 100 feet below us, Tn some alders, we saw the three still as mice, facing us, big mother and two 2-year-old cubs on either side of her. They saw us and their bristles were raised.
 By the time I raised and cock ed the 348, the mother had ad vanced five or six lively steps coming straight for us. Being so close l aimed for her head, bu5 with her movement I hit her square in the breast. The i'm pact knocked her down, but up she came. In about four or five jumps she was within 30 feet of me, little to the left. I fired at her neck and down she rolled to where she had started in the alders, out of sight. I fired three times at one of the cubs. and now we had music and plenty of 1t as Dennis fired at the other cub. Every bear was yelling and still moving. As I started to re- load the mother made another try fol us and 1 only had time to put one cartridge in the mag azlne. l fired this into her not far away for the count.
