Although the sea otter is so aquatic and more highly developed than its smaller relatives, they keep all of their primitive characteristics and can be easily recognized as the relative of the friendly little land and 'water cousins we know so much better. Major Finnegan reaches a length of some 48 inches. His tail is 11 more. His hind foot, or rudder, is 6 inches long and 4 inches wide The males are larger than their mates. Their costumes are alike. The beautiful glossy black fur has white tips on the longer hairs, which gives a frosted or silvery tinge to the coat. The head and neck are a soft grayish-white, and sometimes the white has an ivory or creamy yellow cast. The under-fur is so thick 1t is impossible for the water to reach the otter'’s skin. This dense covering is composed of shorter and softer hairs and mingled with the soft hairs the strong, hard, shiny hairs of the outer coat add more protection. The Summer coat seems to have a greater number of white hairs through it, giv- ing its wearer a more grizzled look.

FLINT. h[“{l‘: MURPHY, as you might guess, was an Irish-American He was a very extraordinary man in many wavs and he had loved the sea from childhood. Things were not go- Ing very well for Mike, economically At least. He had had a job but along ®ith many other men had been laid off temporarily. Disgusted and tired of waiting for an opening to come along, he decided to return to his early love, the sea, and join the Navy. With this ldea in mind, he went to the nearest recruiting station on the 16th of March and filled out an application. After taking many tests and exami- nations of different kinds Mike's ap- plication came back with a rejection explanation on it. This made Mike | very angry because he had thought | that he could always join the Navy if no jobs were available. After get- ting very troublesome that night Mike g0t into several fights and was thrown put of two places. The next day he went all around town waving a red flag and was severely beaten for it. There were very good reasons back of all this. Can you explain them? (Answer on Page B-14.)
