POLAR BEAR IX THE ARCTIC OCEAN 



When this bear was first seen swimming toward the ship it resembled a small piece of 



ice. Only the black spot of its nose moving from sidR to side betrayed it. The polar bear 



ranges far over the ice in search of seals and young walrus. This animal was 72 miles east of 



Herald Wand, the nearest land.
