brushy. I did not, however, as he was 
making pretty good time now on account 
of the brush and finally got to the open 
ground and just as he dashed out of the 
brush with both dogs at his heels — 
“bang” went Temp’s gun and “bang” 
went Nichols gun. They had both gotten 
there ahead of him and were ready. 
Both hit him and he wheeled around and 
dashed into the brush and came tearing 
down toward me. I had gotten up to 
where there was some open timber, and 
when I heard them coming I took up a 
position by the side of a big fir-tree and 
in a few minutes I saw him coming. 
When he struck the open timber both 
dogs caught up with him and, springing 
up, caught him by the ham and hung ’on 
until dragged several feet. Now was my 
time and I caught a bead and gave him a 
quartering shot. Over he went and then 
up he came and right toward me. They 
caught him again and as he swung round, 
both dogs let go and ran back to escape 
his paws, and I began to pour the lead 
into him. One, two^ three, four, five, as 
fast as I could work the lever. Poor Old 
Brownie had to give up and as he wal- 
lowed around in his death struggle, 
chewed the brush savagely, but soon lay 
over dead. In a few minutes the boys 
came, and let me tell you there was a 
jubilant bunch congregated around that 
bear. Nichols made me shake'hands with 
him and congratulated me on having two 
of the best bear dogs on earth.

be about 2,000 to 5,000 animals and as^ 
late as 1885 a season’s catch for one 
native would be about 50 skins. While 
today, one might spend the entire sea- 
son searching the best sea otter district 
and not see a single one of these animals. 
In winter and during the stormy pe- 
riods the otters usually came in shore, 
resorting to the protection of some off 
shore rock or a sheltered cove on the 
rocky mainland. At such times the na- 
tives resorted to several methods of cap- 
turing the animals. 
At all times during a heavy storm a 
ceaseless vigil was kept along the shore 
and at such places where the otters might 
come in for shelter. 
With his bidarka pulled up among the 
rocks at the entrance to each and every 
little cove and shelter, there would be a 
native hunter watching and waiting for 
an otter to come in to rest and as soon 
as the animal would get well into the 
place, the little bidarka would shoot out 
through the breakers. It would be sel- 
dom that the animal would not soon be 
pulled back to shore alongside the skin 
craft. Sometimes the animals were 
speared or shot from the point of a cape 
or from a rock in the center of the en- 
trance, and often long nets were set in 
such places, in which the otters would 
become tangled and either drown or be 
held until the hunters could get out to 
kill them. 
Along extensive stretches of unbroken 
shoreline the animals were often shot, 
speared, or even clubbed to death where
