A walrus, or sea-horse, was lately dis- 
covered on the rocks of Fierceness, on Eday, 
Orkney; and having been shot at and 
wounded by one of Mr. Laing’s shepherds 
there, it took to sea, and was followed by 
him, and some others, ina boat. ‘The man 
fired a second time, and had the good for- 
tune to pierce the animal through the eyes : 
he now lay on the water apparently lifeless ; 
but, upon the boat coming alongside, and 
one of the men catching hold of the fore- 
paw, the walrus made a sudden plunge, and 
carried the man to the bottom with him ; and 
it. was with difficulty, upon his rise to the 
surface, that he was got back to the boat. 
Another. effective shot, however, enabled 
them to finish the animal, and they towed 
him ashore in triumph. The skin of the 
walrus, which is now dried, measures fifteen 
feet by fourteen feet; and the tusks, which 
appear much worn at the ends, protrude 
from the head about twelve inches. The 
entire skull is in the possession of Mr. 
Scarth, Mr. Laing’s factor, and is to be sent 
to. the Edinburgh Museum. This is the 
first instance of any of these formidable in- 
habitants of the polar regions having been 
seen off the coasts of Great Britain.
