However, my inexperience at handling such men and the anomalous character of my position to some extent consoled me. In the filaments brushed across the face of my understanding I could discover none so strong as to support an overt act on my part, I cannot doubt that had the affair come to a focus I should have warned the scientists even at the risk of my life. In fact, as I shall have occasion to show you, I did my best. But at the moment in all policy I could see my way to little besides acquiescence. We killed seals by sequestrating the1 bulls, surrounding them! and clubbing them at a certain point of the forehead. It was surprising to see how hard they fought and how quickly they succumbed to a blow properly directed. Then we stripped the mask with its bristle of the gall and dragged the long whiskers,-too- k carcass into the surf, where it was devoured by fish. At first the men, pleased by the novelty stripped the skins. The blubber, !ften two or three inches in thickness, had then to be cut away from the pelt, cube by cube. It was a long, and oily and odoriferous job. We stunk mightily of seal oil. Our garments were shiny with it. The very pores of our skins seemed to ooze it. And even after the pelt was fairly well, cleared ItTiad still tq "be tanned. Percy Darrow suggested the method, but the process was long and generally unsatisfactory. With the acquisition of the fifth greasy, heavy and ill smelling piece of fur the mens interest in peltries waned. They confined themselves in all strictness to the trimmings. Percy Darrow showed us how to clean the whiskers. The process was evil. The masks were quite simply to be advanced sa far in the way of putrefaction that the bristles would part readily from their sockets.
