 POLAR BEAR IN THE WATER 

 The polar bear is a strong swimmer and crosses wide leads from floe to floe without hesi- 

 tation. These photojiraphs are of a she-bear which swam out from the ice field to investigate 

 the schooner. She dived when the ship came too close. The lower picture was taken after 

 one cf these dives when the bear was just rising again to the surface.
