Ray Chapman Andrews, writing in.
"The Saturday Evening Post," says:

Sea), giving swimming lessons in the

sleepers awoke and swarmed around the pools. But once in, they learned
the motions quickly enough.
Although the old bulls never left
their harems, the females and bache-
lors went out daily to fish. Bachelors
are those seals that have not yet;
reached "tans estate and the dignity
of a harem. They are the one or two-
year-old males, and theoretically are
the only ones to kill for fur. The skin
of an old bull is valueless. It is too
thick and heavy and too scarred by
fighting.
Unfortunately, the female produces
fur as fine as that of the bachelor.
That is what has caused much of the
]international trouble. Pelagic sealing
—that is, killing the animals out in
the open sea—meant inevitable ruin
to the seal herd. Russian, Japanese,
British and American vessels hung
about tate islands beyond the three-
inile limit and shot the animals when
they were feeding. As many females
as bachelors would 'be killed that way,
and each dead mother meant a starv-
ing pup on land.
It took years of diplomatic negotia-
tions to end pelagic sealing. Then a
closed season was put on the islands
for five years. No seals at all were
killed. When the herd had begun to
increase the government killed and
sold a certain number of bachelors
annually.
Since every bull has a harem of
from five to sixty females, and about
equal numbers of each sex are 'born,
each year, killing of a certain propor-
tion of the, surplus males was a posi-
tive benefit to the herd. It stopped
undue fighting, in which both females
and young are frequently done to
death, The old bulls do not intention-
ally kill their lady friends and off-
spring, but in the heat of combat they
cant watch carefully whore they step.
Sometimes they sit on the babies un-
avoidably.
Everything on the islands now is

"There was once, along, long time
ago, "a man out on a raft on the water.
There was no land anywhere --just
water.
"The pian; driftedaround for many
days. He began to think to himself,
'Now I can't 'float here. always. I've
got to And :some Iand,somewheie.'
"So he sent down the beaver to see
if he could ";reach, bottom under: the
water. The beaver came up; but he
said he couldn't reach the "bottom, the
water Was so deep:
"Then the man -sent down the other

tried as hard as they could, but none
could reach the bottom.
t`A1I this 'took a "long time; and the
Man began to get'worried. Hethought
he'd be on that raft all his life.
"Then he thought of the muskrat
and sent hits down. The muskrat
stayed down a long time, and then he

'Master, I couldn't find the land.'
"Then the man said to himf 'You

"So the man put the cord around
the muskrat and when lie had caught
his breath he dove down. once more.
He stayed down for a very long time
so that his master thought he must
be drowned.
"The pian pulled the :;tying and
hauled in the muskrat, Sure enough,
the muskrat had stayed under the
water so long that he wab unconscious,
and he couldn't say whether he had
found bottom ox not.
"But the man looked at,ltim closely
and on the edge of his' mouth he' saw
a little' crumb of mud,' so he knew the
'animal had reached the bottom:
"Then the man 'took the mud care-
fully in his finers and rolled it into
a tiny ball. Then he kept rolling it,
and the ball kept getting bigger and
bigger. It grew to be enormous. In
fact, it grew to be exactly the size of
the world, and when it got to be that
size the man stepped old the raft to
the dry land and the world had
begun."
