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.
