Continued from Twentieth Page a coiled rope cut from the skin of a beared seal. We were armed with a rifle. For the first quarter of a mile we kept fairly dry. Then in springing over a pot hole the ice gave way; we went in, climbed out, paused on the edge to shake ourself, slipped, sat down, stood up, sat down, slid 10 feet in a sort of shoot and landed in the middle of an abandoned blow hole. It sounds like a farcical proceed- ing and that’s exactly what it was. Terwhilliger pulled us out on the end of his harpoon. We began to feel like a trout. HE dark spots resting on their beds of ice grew larger—took on definite character. Soon we were only a few hundred yards from the nearest. Now Terwhilliger motioned us be- hind him, indicating that we should step in his footprints and do exactly as he did. We clung to him closer than his own shadow, enveloped in the pungency of his wet skin garments. As we wove our way between the puddles, the seal showed a lack of interest that was almost disappointing, until one suddenly raised its head and regarded us with round dreamy eyes. Just as suddenly Terwhilliger halted without going through the formality of taking us into his confidence. The result was inevitable. We climbed half way up his back. Now he pro- ceeded to utter a curious bubbling sound in 24 Uncooked. 25 Night before an event. 26 Ignited. 27 Covenanted. 28 Go quickly. 29 Affirmative. 34 Civil injury. 35 Wing. 36 Principal ore of lead. 52 Poverty. 53 Masculine name: abbr.

It was the native's remarkably life-like imi- tation of a seal “blowing.”” Terwhilliger had been talking to that seal like a father. He had given it the latest submarine gossip, laced with a scandal or two and finally launched into a story pointless and long-winded enough to put even a seal to sleep. While all this was going on we were standing in the middle of a large lake of ice water. Now he motioned us to shoot, but just as we raised the rifle the seal opened an eye, winked twice and disappeared down its blow hole quicker than thought. From all appear- ances the incident was closed. Yet, while we stood looking at the concentric rings left in the water by its sudden plunge, up came its d again. It seemed completely dazed and ba It gazed at us with incredu= lous eyes, unable to leave the *neighborhood without assuring itself the whole affair wasn’t a nightmare. In turn, we became bewitched by the spell of its soulful eyes, almost em- barrassed, helplessly impotent. Then venting its displeasure in a throaty hiss it disappeared for good. The next seal slept so soundly it never knew what hit it. From a small round hole in its neck a thin crimson trickle formed a grue- some pattern on crystalline ice. Terwhilliger, with a cry of delight, gave an amazing series of monkey jumps—the Arctic method of ex- pressing keen satisfaction. We had swapped a bullet for blubber, meat and a new shirt, The day's marketing had been accomplished. Our last victim was shot while in the water, harpooned by Terwhilliger just as it was sinke ing and jerked out on the ice in an exceedingly skillful manner. This time both of us col- laborated in celebrating the feat with a series of monkey jumps and volley of loud yells. The two scals were now strung on the end of the harpoon line, and dragging them behind us we set out for the schooner. Five miles of Venetian lagoons lay before us. The ex- citement was over. The seals scemed to weigh - about a ton apiece. For no reason at all a light shower came up. Perspiration streamed from us. By the time we reached the schooner all the hair had worn off the seals’ skins and most of the skin off our hands:
