I think the schooners should he prohibited from hunting seal out in 

 Maurice Bates, p. 277. the water off Prince of Wales Island, so that the 

 seal will become plentiful again. 



Ivan Candaic et ah, p. We believe that, in order to permanently pre- 

 23 °- serve fur-seal life all pelagic hunting should be 



stopped. 



1 think that if the schooners were prohibited from hunting seal in 

 the North Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea the seal

If the schooners are stopped from taking seal off Prince Edward 

 Island the seal will become plenty, and the Indians 



Charlie DaUlin, p. 278. can kill them as they did a long time ago. Now 

 the Indians can get very few. 



I think the schooners should be stopped from hunting seal so that 



the seal may become plentiful on the coast and 



Ecli on, p. 280. the Indian may again have a chance to get them. 



It makes me feel had to think the seal are most 



all gone and we can't hunt, them as our fathers nsed to. 



rassili Feodor,p. 231. I think fur-seals would increase if all hunting 

 at sea was stopped. 



I think the schooners ought to be prohibited from hunting seal, so 



the Indians could again get them again. Now 



they are obliged to go a long way in the canoes,

come back tired. 



I think if the white men were prohibited from taking seal around 



Dixons Entrance, Prince of Wales Island, and in 



Chas. Gibson, p. 281. Queen Charlotte Sound the seal would become 



plenty once more, and the Indians could catch 



them again as they used to do. 



Gotiastut, p. 238. Seal will soon be no more unless the Great 



Father stops the schooners from hunting. 



Jas. Gondoiven, p. 259. Think if all pelagic sealing was stopped in Ber- 

 ing Sea and the North Pacific Ocean seal would 

 again become plentiful. 



Jas. RartUsnuT:, p. 239. I think if the schooners were prohibited from 

 sealing they would become plentiful on this coast 

 again. 



If the Great Father does not stop schooners from hunting seal along 

 the coast of Alaska and in Bering Sea, the seal 



Sam. Hayikahtla, p. 239. will soon be gone and the Indian must starve 

 that makes his living by hunting them.
