In 1893, when seal poaching was at its peak, America maintained five cutters and four gunboats there, while the British had three gunboats, the Japanese and Russians several war vessels. Daring poachers roamed the seas jand raids were common. Probably the best known of the early pirates was Alec MacLean, the Wolf Larson of Jack London’s “Sea Wolf.” His last schooner Comancita, a vessel masquer- ading under forged Mexican papers. One of his best known exploits was when he eluded a pursuing cutter and anchored two barrels of seal skins to a Later he returned and picked them up. In 1911 all governments involved in the seal industries agreed to handle the killings themselves. Guards were stationed at the rookeries and sealing at sea was made unlawful. = This treaty was drawn to run 15 years. The pact is expected to be renewed next year, although British Columbia sealers are opposed. At present the entire patrol is car- riéd on by four Americar Coast Guard cutters, whose greatest dutles lie in administering relief to northern resi- dents.
