sanctuary! That was all the authorities could do
But while those twenty-three were in Jail their
pals weren't wasting time. Reports went in to
Japan about grand fur markets. There were
islands where seals came to breed every year.
Laws? Course there were laws against taking
them. But the Japs could always apologize and
say they didn't know the law-if they were caught.
Many's the time I've spoken Jap sealers on their
way to the Pribiloff Islands up in the Boring Sea.
There treaty between Canada, Russia and the
States at that time to protect the seals from being
wiped out. But did those Japs care? Not they!
While the treaty members went in to take their
quotas the Japs skulked about outside the terri
torial limits and took the poor beasts from the
water shot them dubbed them while they were
their way to the breeding grounds And they
didn't give one continental chrysanthemum for the
law because it didn't touch them there. They
grinned, Kissed like snakes and said $50 sorry,
please" when the u. S. ships cussed them out.
But if they got the chance they'd slip ugly,
square ended knife between your ribs and go grin
ming off on other marauding thievery.
l better tell you about that treaty so you'll
understand the way those Japs got around
laws.
The Pribiloff seals are the best fur bearers in
the world. They go to the islands, st. George and
ST. Paul, which the most important of five
islands in the group, to breed First, the big bulls
get there in May Whereabouts and they fight with
each other for the best places, for each of those
bulls gets him hareem of many COWS as he

aboard-we that was different.
Say how dyou think they got those little two
submarines they copied from the Russians,
so far to sea? In them factory ships, of course;
they launched them through the whale doors and
took em back the same way
But in the old days they went as crew with the
white men and their yellow grinning faces and
oily ways were everywhere. Every country began
tAsee them, polite as be-damned, making notes and
bwings and asking questions; nosing into every
thing. They had a lot of Roadway to make up, but
they were milking the brains of their betters.
They learned about fashions and found that
the foreign devils paid money for feathers to put
in their womens hats. That gave them idea.
They slaughtered birds by the million and shipped
the feathers all the world. Laws? If they
were stopped, they hissed apologized politely and
backed off to look for spoil some place else.
Some years ago the island of Laysan, between
Midway and the Hawaiian Islands, a bird
sanctuary 1t belongs to the u. S. 1t was a nesting
ground for the albatross, the loveliest bird that
sails the ocean sky. Those great white birds were
protected to keep them from becoming extinct.
Dyou think that stopped the Japs? No, sir!
They knew that the island wasn't often visited.
You see they had their fishing sampans all about
the Hawaiian waters even then.
They landed on that quiet island where the
white birds had their nests and their young. And
in one hunt they slaughtered over quarter million

rightfuly call any kind of slaughter merciful.
Albatrosses have such great wings that they
can't fly straight off the ground they have to run
just like an arplane until they have enough speed
to lift them so their wings work. Those Japs
chased them with clubs smashed them down,
chopped off their wings and left them spouting
blood, screaming and floundering in agony among
their nestlings until they died and their young died
of starvation!
Some years ago two American professors
visited Laysan to check up. The place looked like
the graveyard of all birds. There few guls
skulking along the shore and all over the beaches
were the picked skeletons of once beautiful alba
trosses. In an old guano shed they found hundreds
of thousands of wings, torn off, left to rot when
those dirty little pirates were interrupted by the
u. S. Coast Guard
In an old dry cistern were thousands of rotted
carcasses. Those tender-hearted little Japs had
thrown all they could cripple into that great vat to
starve to death For if the birds starved the fatty
tissue near the skin would be used up so that the
skins and feathers would be easier TO clean!
There were the skeletons of fledglings with
smashed beaks and legs where the bow-legged flat
faced marauders had broken them with clubs. The
scientists found clubs and nets, too; those Japs
were planning to come back as long as the alba
trosses lasted or as long as they could take in
money selling the feathers of the grandest birds

can control when they
arrive in June.
The pups are born
about a week after the
cows get to the grounds
and the next couple of
months are spent with
the old bulls and feeding
the young. Then the
COWS take off all down
the coast of North
America as far as Cali
fornia. And they don't
go back until they are
ready to have their next
pups the next year.
Now a m on E those
pups are the bachelors
and they live apart from
the hareems. They col
lect in gangs and try to
sneak up on the bulls
but they don't get much
chance. You see there
are more young males
than females for some
reason and twenty-nine
out of thirty of them are
allowed to be killed for
their skins. The COWS,
pups and old bulls are
protected.
See how it works?
The cows take their pups
with them when they

leave the breeding grounds in November and they
come back the following Spring to join the "bache
lors" as they are called to wait until they old
enough and strong enough to collect hareem for
themselves. a
Now with that pattern of living it wasn't diff
ficut to kill off far too many to make the trade
lasting one First it was decided to stop killing
during the breeding so that the cows could
60 to sea and get food for the cubs.
A law was passed that forbade killing inside
sixty miles of the islands. But they found vessels
outside that killing everything that passed;
cows on their way to the islands and cows on their
way back to the coasts Actually the inspectors
found that the cows went outside the sixty mile
limits to get food So they were killed, and thou
sands of cubs starved to death.
But the Japs were outside all this treaty. They
sneaked inside the sixty mile limit and darned
nearly ruined the herds at the three mile limit. So
all killing was stopped for years and peagic sealing
was totally forbidden. Pelagic sealing is killing
them from boats
Course, sealing isn't gentlemanly business.
The brutes breed among the rocks of the sloping
beaches and in the shore hills The killing crews
approach at night and drive off the bachelor herds
into the hills in thousands divide them up IN pods,
or groups of twenty or so and club them to DEATH
There used to be some bloody battles between
the Americans and Russian crews. They'd try to
hi jack each others skins and revolvers would
bark in the frosty darkness and men would lie
among the fayed seals and freeze until the rats
ate them.

call him Mac.
He wasn't much account-drink-bu he told
me some yarns about sealing and those Japs that
l think you ought to hear.
He'd been on the beach for too long, but he
managed to keep clear of the law. But he got
taken in of those crimp joints and he awakened
one morning with the taste of death in his mouth
and head that opened and shut as he rolled on
the deck of lubberly sinking little schooner head
