WEBSTER, | (COURT SEAL) Probate Judge. Account of Itasca, PAGE SEVEN A WALRUS ON LAND, The Awkward and Bulky Creature Is Almost Helpless. As might be expected, a walrus fs about as helpless on land as a canal- boat. . It is with no little difficulty and much hitching and floundering that he drags his huge bulk upon a sandy shore even with the boosting he gets from behind by the breakers as they roll in and dash against him. His hind flippers are of little use on land, and on sand or pebbles, where his front flippers do not hold well, the labor of floundering forward is so great that he never stirs beyond the edge of the water and usually lies with his body half awash, with the salt spray dashing over him like torrents of rain. On soiid rock or ice he gets along much better, and often a herd will spread several rods back from the wa- ter’s edge. The females and younger walruses have far less development of neck to incumber them and therefore enjoy more freedom of motion than the old males, who actually seem a great bur- deu to themselves. These creatures are strictly social in their habits and always go in herds, whether traveling, feeding, tighting or resting ashore. In the days before the slaughter of all living creatures became a ruling pas- sion in the breast of man the Pacific species inhabited the whole of Bering sea and strait in herds which often contained thousands and even tens of thousands of individuals. —+ The Fire Department The Police The Doctor The Baker The Butcher The Grocer The Caterer The Livery Stable and anybody’else you THWING & ROSSMAN, Attorneys for Petitioner.
