Who following letter from st naval officer
on bawd the U, B. °raiser IYIehioan, dated
leat July, he been a long thee on its way,
but it gives a vivid plague: of seonee on the

The morning of the 14th we left St.

George we could see hundreds of Beale, but
from the one off Bt. Pool's we cotuld ueo
thousands, gathered in burothes of from
three er Nur to what appeared to be groupo ,
of ithiety or forty. Them: groups consist of
one red bull ond his wives, the number of

Oa July 15th we had to steam around the

on the Island of St. Peel's, but on the other

than we had then before.
The captain and some of the officers wont

Allowed to go neer the rookeries for fear of
disburbieg the seals. Freon the ship, how-
ever, we get a very geed view of the lineups,
and as tlae morning warmed up they became
Ignite restless. The femalee teemed to want
to get away, but each old male kept circling
round his group and kept his wives all
huddled in. Seine of the groups had as
many as thirty er forty, while ethers had
only two er three. These with the small
herems were oomparatively quiet, while the
ethers: were having a hard time. Some
aged males were eff en one side by
themeelves, and they ceemed to be
enjeying life bemuse they could have an un-
disturbed sleep. The males are ranch larger
than the tomcat' and from a distance look
bleak, while the le:melee are a dirty yellow-
ish gray. In the water they sall spinier
nearly black, and their heads have quite e.
human appearance. They have no fear of
us and play ohne around the ship. The
young ef eaoh family are off en ene side of
the group of females end leek like a lot of
blank pigs.
One rookery contains several thousand
maim and they keep up a constant bleating,
like a flock of sheep.
The North American Commeroial Com.
;pany has the exclusive right to kill :male en
the islands, and it is allowed to kill
enly 7,500 a year, for which it paye the
.Goverament $10 a piths. A few years,
when the Alaska Commerciel Company hai
the cantracb, lb was allowed to kill maims -
red thousend a year.
Lad Menday there was a "drive" of
male for killing on St. Peas bland, and
many of the officers of the Mohican went
to gee ib. The "drive" is made from the
bachelors, and net from the rookeries or the
breeding places.
The Indians slip along between the Beale
and the water, surround there and force
them back he the killing ground, when they
eelect out of the herd such as they want,

the red go back. Occasionally they drive
about twelve to fifteen hundred, ont of
