FUR-SEAL PATROL BY UNITED STATES COAST GUARD. 



An active patrol for the protection of fur seals was maintained 

 by the Coast Guard in 1922. The cutters engaged were the Uai da, 

 Algonquin, Mojave, Snoho7nish, Unalga, and Bear. The Tlaida and 

 Algo7igidn patrolled both in the North Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea. 

 The Algonquin also made a trip to Asiatic waters frequented by fur 

 seals. The Mojave was used chiefly in transporting an official party 

 headed by the Assistant Secretary of Commerce. The Snohomish 

 patrolled the waters between the Columbia River and Dixon En- 

 trance, southeast Alaska. The Unalga paid particular attention to 

 southeast Alaska between Dixon Entrance and Yakutat Bay. The 

 Bear made its usual cruise nortlnvard to the Arctic Ocean. 'Flie bu- 

 reau is under many obligations to the Coast Guard for assistance 

 furnished incidentally to the patrol work in the transportation of 

 passengers, mail, and freight to and from the Pribilof Islands.
