The seal's sun naps on the Arctic ice are continually disturbed by his dreams of his enemy, the polar bear, or at least that seems g reasonable way of interpreting his behavior, for after sleeping for thirty second or perhaps a minute, he will wake up, raise his head ag high as he conveniently can, which is fourteen or sixteen inches, and make a com- plete survey of the horizon. If neth- ing suspicious is seen, this survey takes about ten seconds, after which he drops his head on the ice again and sleeps a minute more, Sometimes the ice is a little rough in his viciniy and you can crawl up and shoot him from behind cover, but more frequently he has chosen a level expanse where no concealment is possible, and you must, therefore, approach him realiz- ing that he is going to see you be- fore you are near enough to shoot. No mammal that is known has eyesight which at all compares with that of a man. A wolf can see you under favorable conditions a little more than half a mile away; a caribou at a little more than a quarter of a mile, and a seal com- monly at about three hundred yards, if you are standing up, or one hun- In dred and fifty to two hundred yards] if you are lying down. You can walk unconcernedly toward a seal until less than four hundred yards away, after which you begin a careful ap- proach. You crawl ahead on all fours while he sleeps and you lie flat and motionless while he is awake. It might seem that something could be gained by wearing white cloth- ing to match the snow, but this is the reverse of wisdom, for the seal's ene enemy that he fears is g polar bear, and the polar bear is white. If a seal sees anything that is sus- picious and white he takes discretion to be the better part of valor and dives promptly into his hole. If the suspicious object is black, he assumes that it is probably another seal that has come out of another hole to bask in the sun. It is, therefore, the task of the hunter to simulate a seal. When the seal first sees you his actions are unmistakable, He turns 80 as to face you directly; he raises his head a trifle higher than before, and instead of bending his neck to survey the complete horizon he looks at you steadily and intently. You must be careful that hig first view of you shall be a broadside view, for a man lying flat resembles. ga seal most in that position. It is best to lie still with one's head on the ice for about half a minute; but the seal knows the habits of his own kind |: as well as the careful hunter knows| them, and if you were to lie motion- less for more than a. minute at a time he would strongly suspect that you were not a seal, and in two min- and would go into the water. It is, necessary, therefore, after about half a minute of quiescence, to raise your head seal fashion twelve or fifteen inches above the ice, keep it there about eight or ten seconds, and drop it on the ice again. By the time this has been repeated three or four times the seal is commonly convinced that you are one of his kind and will. be- gin again to take his interrupted naps. : If he is more suspicious than or- dinary it may be advisable to move your feet a little as well. Like many other animals, a seal is commonly lousy and scratches frequently with his hind flippers. If a man lying flat flexes his legs from the knee the motion is similar to that of a seal scratching with his hind flippers. These tactics nearly always convince the most sceptical seal, and when once his regular naps are resumed you move ahead snakewise while he sleeps and play seal whenever he is awake, watching you. wl Approaching a seal in this fashion is tedious at best, for it takes an hour and a half or two hours to get within fifty to seventy-five yards.
