432 INVESTIGATION OF THE FUR-SEAL INDUSTRY OF ALASKA. 



Mr. Clark. I think it is Charles Gardner, but I did not pay much 

 attention to them. Those men had little to do with our work. I did 

 not need their services as a physician and did not get very well 

 acquainted with them. 



The Chairman. Who did the actual killing on the islands while you 

 were theie ? 



Mr. Clark. It was done by the lessees under the direction of the 

 agents of the department. 



The Chairman. Who were the agents of the department? 



Mr. Clark. Mr. Walter I. Lembkey was the chief agent, Mr. James 

 Judge was an assistant agent, and Mr. Hairy Chichester was the third 

 agent. 



The Chairman. Anybody else ? 



Mr. Clark. I do not recall whether Maj. Ezra W. Clark was present 

 there or not, but I believe he was the fourth agent. 



The Chairman. You made notes of your observations as you went 

 along day after day, did you not ? 



Mr. Clark. Yes, sir. 



The Chairman. Have you your original notes with you ? 



Mr. Clark. No; I have not my original notes. 



The Chairman. Have you carbon copies of them ? 



Mr. Clark. No, I have not; that is, I am relying upon the pub- 

 lished report. Of course, I sent my papers to the department and 

 did not have a carbon copy left when I was through. 



The Chairman. But your original notes, are they not in existence ? 



Mr. Clark. They are in the department. They were filed with 

 the original report. 



The Chairman. I mean what you would call field notes or what- 

 ever observations you made as you went along. 



Mr. Clark. They are published in full m my report in Appendix A, 

 for example. 



The Chairman. But do you have them in your possession? 



Mr. Clark I submitted thorn to the Department of Commerce or 

 to the Bureau of Fisheries with my report. 



The Chairman. I know; but did you leave them there? 



Mr. Clark. With the Commissioner of Fisheries ? 



The Chairman. Yes. 



Mr. Clark. Certainly, yes. 



The Chairman. Then they are on file in the bureau, are they? 



Mr. Clark. Yes. 



The Chairman. I mean your original notes. 



Mr. Clark. Just what do you mean? 



The Chairman. Your notes as you made them day after day. 



Mr. Clark. I ran them off on a typewriter in the office up there 

 and made the necessary copies and filed them right as they stood. 



The Chairman. Well, where are your original notes? 



Mr. Clark. They are with my report in the Bureau of Fisheries. 



The Chairman. You mean the originals, now '. 



Mr. Clark. Yes: that is, I made them on the islands with the 

 typewriter there at hand. When I came in in the evening I wrote 

 out my notes from the brief jottings taken in shorthand on the rook- 

 eries ;is T went along day after day. 



The Chairman. But they are not embodied in your report that 

 you tiled \
