WALRUS
ERS
r
It waa th’ day after th’
skipper had his adventur«
with th’ polar bear that ha
decided to go walrus hunt
in’. Perky Swipes, one of
th’ crew, said he'd killed lots
of walruses, »o Perky went
along with th’ skipper and
me to demonstrate.
Everything would have
g o n e off shipshape and
Bristol fashion if th'skipper
hadn't wanted to capture a
baby walrus td take back to
San Francisco.
Well s’r, we’d got woll
Into th’ ice-fields, and were
skirtin’ a strip of open wa
ter. when Perky ipotted a
whoppln’ big mumma-wal-
rus with a little one by her
side. Right from there was
whore th’ fun began. Slip-
pin’ along on his hands and
knees, Perky crept closer,
and closer to th’ little wal
rus that was playin’ around
on th’ ice. Watchln’ his
chance. Perky leaped and
grabbed th’ little feller.
Wow, what a yowpin' that
baby set upt Perky was aw
tickled he held up th’ baby
walrus to show what he had
done, for a minute forgettin*
about mamma walrus.
Wham! Mamma landed
on Perky, and that gent
went sailin' into th’ air. A
herd of walruses holdin’ a
meet in' over near th’ water
heard th* rumpus and came
over to get in their licks.
Well s’r, things were be
glnnin’ to get interestin’
around thore. There we
were, surrounded by a yow
pin’ heard of mean-eyed
walrhses, except for th’
strip of open water, which
we knew was colder*n a mi
ser’s heart. But Into It we
wont. Ow, It makes me shiv-
er now when I think about
It. For some reason th’ wal
ruses didn't follow us into
th’ wafer, but stopped at th’
shoro-lino and gave us a
walrus-laugh as we scrumr
bled out on th’ other aide.
That was all th’ walrus
hunting we wanted that day.
