CAPE FLATTERY SEAL I'lSIU'IUES.
A Dajjccrou. Rut Profitable Indji-try
There is a j-eiernl belief that all lhe
fur seal pelts that arc obtained on
this coast come from the seal islands
off the coast of Alaska, which arc
leased by the government to the Alas
ka Commercial Company. This is an
error. There is another and by no
means inconsiderable source of sup
ply, "which, moreover, is not mono
polized by any one company, and
which affords, during certain seasons
of the year, a handsome profit to quite
a number of enterprising traders, and
employs a comparatively large num
ber of men. This is the hunting and
capture of seals a considerable dis
tance off snore in the Pacific, at their
feeding "grounds," at various places
along the coast from Alaska to Lower
California. The most important of
these feeding grounds is on a bank
about thirty miles off Cape Flattery,
at the encrance of the straits of Fuca,
on the extreme northwest coast of
"Washington Territory. Here, during
the season, extending from April to
August, the seals congregate in great
numbers, and from time immemorial
have been annually hunted by the
coast Indians of Washington Terri
tory and British Columbia, who visit
the sealing grounds in large canoe3.
A remunerative business has been
carried on for a long time by the
traders on the different reservations
on the northwest coast iu the pur
chase of seal pelts from the Indians
at low figures, and some handsome
fortunas have been made at it.
INDIAN SKA I. nUNTEr.9
of 'Wash- i
e Flatten"
Along the western coast
ington Territory from Cape Flattery
and separated from the Puqel Sound
country by iho Olympic rangt of
mountains," are various small tribes
of Indians, who liavo little or no con
taot with the white, and win are a
brave and hardy race of hunter..
Their arms and equipments are rude
and with the exception of the use of
firearms and blankets, introduced by
a few scattered trade r, they retain
the primitive ways of their forefathers.
Living on the beach, they draw their
substance mainly from the ocean,
where, in their cedar canoe?, and
armed with bono lances and harpoons
they capture the humpbacked whale, 1
tion of their food, and the fur seal,
which, until the advent of the whites,
was the source from which they
drew their supplies of clothing. There
are no Tiarbors along this portion of
the coast, which is iron bound and
fronted by a constant succession of
rocks and reefs, with here aim there a
strip of beach, but the natives are
among the most skilful surfmen iu
the world, landing and beaching their
heavy canoes through breakers that
would appall an ordinary lifeboat's
crews. Their canoes, which are hewed
from a single trunk of a gigantic
cedar, are many of them of great size
and strength and beautifully modeled,
and they are handled with remark
able ease and skill. In the seal fish
ing the oanoe used is a small, light
one, "with a very sharp stem. The
crew will consist of three men the
boat steerer, generally the owner of
the canoe and outfit, the boat puller
and the spearsman or harpooner. The
equipment is simple three days' pro
visions of bread, whale oil, smoked
blubber and dried elk meat, and their
weapons, consisting of seal spears,
skinning knives and a hardwood club.
The spear used is a curious affair. It
consists of a long, heavy handle, of
about an inch in diameter and some
eight or nine feet in length, made of
some three or four pieces of well sea
soned yew, dovetailed together, and
which acquires a fine polish by long
years of use. borne two feet or more
from the end it is split and forks to
two points, an inch or so apart, jbach
of these points is surrounded by a!
sharp spearhead of bone or deerhorn,
with barbs of the same material lashed
on at such angles as to afford a secure
hold. These spearheads are fastened
to a stout line made of sinew or
plaited sealskin.which passes through
a "becket" on the shaft and is made
f ast'in the canoe. This line is some
twenty feet in length.
S'PEAKED WHILE ASLEEP.
So equipped they start out on their
perilous expedition, launching their
canoe through the surf and pushing
boldly out thirty miles to sea. The
seals are captured as they float asleep
on'top of the water, and the most
successful hauls are made in the
calm succeeding a storm, when they
are exhausted by their long bout with
the waves and sleep so soundly that
they can be readily approached. Ar
riving at the place where there is a
prospect of finding a seal, the spear
man abandons the paddle which he
has been vigorously plying and takes
h3s,station in the bow, whore, as the
canoe rises on each succeeding swell,
he watches for the black head of the
sleeping seal. The instant one is
spied, a motion warns the boat puller,
who ceases his work, and the canoe
proceeds, propelled only by the steers
man, under whose light and absolute
ly silent strokes of the paddle they
glide slowly on to tho victim. The
senses of the seals are so acute that
within any reasonable distance the
mere grating of a paddle on tho side
of the canoe is sufficient to arrouse
them, when the hunt is up, so far as
they are concerned. As the canoe si
lently nears tho victim, the spears
man, throwing aside his blanket,
stands erect naked and motionless in
tho bow, poising high the heavy Bpear.
At a motion of his hand the way of
the canoe is stopped and he launches
hi weapon, gonerally transfixing the
seal with one or both of the twin
barbs. The handle loosens and floats
to the surface. A steady pull on the
line brings the struggling animal
alongside, "when a sharp blow with
the heavy, club winds up his career.
Occasionally there is a lively tussle,
ag the seal is armed with a fine set of
teeth and. is far from being of a cow
ardly disposition when cornered, and
instances are not uncommon wherein
the'hunters have been severely bitten.
Usually three days is the limit of
t&eir stay at sea, when they return to
ift-heeoB.- skin tneir eaten ana sen
roth nearest trader, wno
sjlts them down to ship at the end of
tbo season.
nilCEXT INNOVATIONS.
J:i tho last few years there has been
a chauue in the manner of conduct
ing the fishery, the traders finding
that the work of the Indians from
the beach is too precarious and un
reliable, and a large number of
schoouera are now engaged. Indians
are still employed in the actual work
of lakiug the seals and their method
remains unchanged, except that in
stead of paddling emtio sea from the
beach, thoy are taken on board the
schooners, with their oanoes, spears,
eta, and accompanied by their wives,
are taken off on a cruise to the banks,
where they remain for weeks at a
time, leaving the vessel in their ca
noes ear y in the morning and return
ing with the results of their labors
late at night. The women remain on
the schooner preparing the food for
the hunters and skinning the seals
with which they return. The Indi
ans receive no pay beyond a small
bonus given them by the schooner
owners at the commencement of the
season, but are paid a fair sum for
each pelt brought in, ranging from
S2 50 to $10, according to wize and
condition. At these figures they
make good wages, and some of the
more lucky or skillful ones sometimes
net for tho season as high as $900.
About six schooners from Puget
Sound take part in the seal fishery
off Capo Flattery every year, as many
more from British Columbia and two
or three from San Francisoo. This
year, for tho first time, white men
have been substituted for Indians on
. .some of the schooners and shotguns
ulistitntctl for spears, but while they
nnvo )POn ver-v successful the change
other traders, as it is claimed tho
noise of tho firearms makes the seals
more shy and will eventually drive
them away from their present feed
ing grounds. All the vessels em
ployed have met with fair success this
year, one vessel returning from her
first cruise with 900 pelts, and the
season has hardly set in. Seals are
reported more plentiful and tamer
than ever before. The profits of tho
business were for a few years very
largo, but an nctivo competition for
the sorvices of the Indians has in the
Jst three years cut seriously into the
receipts My largoiy increasing tue
amounts paid for the pelts, but there
is still a fair margin left the traders
for their trouble and expense.
.Scientific Fishermen.
The meeting of the Academy of
Sciences last night was an interesting
one. The first paper was by J. D. Red
ding on the fish interests of Califor
nia. That gentleman said that the
geographical position of California
was such as to make it at some future
date one of the greatest fish marts in
the world, a8 it has been proved that
any variety of fish can thrivo in these
waters. The fish commissioner has
placed within the last ten years 15,
000,000 young salmon in the Sacra
mento rivor and its tributaries. He
thought that tho seals and sea-lions
ought to bo exterminated, as they each
devour twenty-five pounds of fish
daily. It was his opinion that the
codfish banks in Alaska wore inex
haustible and the industry in codfish
could be made equally as profitable as
that of salmon. Not only is tho cod
found in our waters, but also Spanish
mackeral, pompano, horse mackerel,
emelt, mullet, tomcod, whiting, hali
but, turbot and flounder. Mr. Bed
ding thought that tho time had oome
when a greater protection should be
extended to our fish and that their
wanton destruction by Chinamen
should be deemed a felony iustead of
a misdemeanor.
IIr. Bedding's paper wa3 followed
by one by R. E. 0. Stearns, Ph. D., on
the clam. He had named a clam up
in Oregon which could only bo found
in spring tides. Its neck was three
feet long and required three men to
dig up one. It averaged fifteen pounds
in weight and was good eating.
Captain Robert Sampson, in refer
ence to Mr. Bedding's remarks, said
that the sea-lions wait off the fresh
water rivers to catch the fish, and
where the lions have been killed the
fish have become much more numer
ous. & F. Chronicle, 20
Air. Frank L. Cox, Gouverneur.N.
Y., says he spraiued his ankle very
uauiy, una me swelling was so greac
he could hardly remove his boot. St.
Jacobs Oil, the great pain-reliever,
was applied, and in a short time he
was cured.
