HUNTING THE WALRUS

HUNTING WALRUS IN BERING SEA 



Hauling aboard an immense polar bear, which had been shot many miles from land. The 

 polar bear thinks nothing of traveling hundreds of miles on an ice floe, feeding principally 

 on seals. It is also very fond of walrus meat, and preys frequently on its clumsy neighbor. 



The lower picture shows a number of walrus asleep on the ice-floe (see page 286).
