FUR-SEAL PATROL 
UNITED STATES COAST GUARD 
The United States Coast Guard employed five of its vessels in the 
patrol of the North Pacific Ocean, including Bering Sea, for the pro- 
tection of fur seals in 1926. 
The detail of the vessels was virtually the same as in the preceding 
year. The Snohomish patrolled the coastal waters from the southern 
boundary of Washington to Dixon Entrance, southeastern Alaska. 
The Unalga patrolled waters between Dixon Entrance and Unalaska 
and in Bering Sea. The Algonquin and Haida proceeded from 
Seattle to Unalaska, patrolling en route, and then engaged in patrol 
work in Bering Sea. 
The Bear, while detailed primarily for the usual annual expedi- 
tion to the Arctic Ocean, served as a patrol vessel while in the waters 
frequented by the fur seals. 
The seal patrol extended as far westward as Attu, the westernmost 
island of the Aleutian Chain, and was maintained as long as there 
was any necessity for it. 
BUREAU OF FISHERIES 
On April 24 the fisheries vessel Awklet left Juneau for Sitka to 
take part in the seal patrol work in southeastern Alaska. The work 
was continued until June 10.
