 got great mauy grey puxjs, .and all grey pups are males. 



8. The seals this year were not so plentiful as last, and the herring 

 were very scarce. 



9. My tribe want gun-sealing stoi)ped, and seals will increase and 

 come in shore again. We wish the white hunter to be stopped from 

 coming in shore to hunt with guns, and any "King George" (English) 

 schooner coming here to take Indians out to bring no guns with them. 

 I commenced limiting seals about twenty-seven years ago, and befcn-e 

 the white hunters came made lots of money, but as soon as white hunt- 

 ers found there were lots of seals there, there were so many schooners 

 came on the coast hunting that they have driven the seals away out. 

 It is the young men who have tried the gun mostly, bnt find that they 

 can make nothing with it, and now want it stopped altogether.
