Vivid Description of Most Ex citing Walrus Hunt When an Attack Was Made on a Large Herd From a Whale Boat. abundance of ammunition There was not a rifle In the tribe when I flrst went there. As they have no vege tables and live solely on meat, blood and blubber, the possession of guns and ammunition has Increased the food producing capacity of every hunt er and relieved the whole tribe from the formerly ever present danger of starvation for a family or even an en tire village. Home Life of the Eskimos. "During the winter these patient and cheerful children of the north live In Igloos, or huts, built of stones and earth. It Is only when they are trav eling. as sometimes during the moonlit period of the month, that they live In the snow Igloos, which three good Eskimos can build In an hour or two. In summer they live In the tuplks. or skin tents. "The stone houses are permanent, and a good one will last perhaps a hundred years, with a little repairing of the roof in summer. They are found In groups or villages at Inter vals along the coast from Cape York bay to Annotok. As the people are nomadic these permanent dwellings belong to the tribe and not to indi viduals. One year all the houses In a settlement may be occupied, the next year none or only one or two of them. "These houses ere about eight feet high by eight feet wide, and one may be constructed In a month. An exca vatlon is made In the earth, which forms the floor of the house. Then tlw walls are built up solid with stones chinked with uioss. Long, flat stones are laid across the top of the walls. This roof is covered with earth and the whole house banked In with snow. The construction of the arched roof is on the plan which engineers know as the cantulever and not that of the Koman arch The long, flat stones which form the roof are weighted and counterwelghted at the outer ends, and in all my arctic experience I have never known the stone roof of an igloo to fall upon the Inmates. There is no door in the side, but a hole in the floor at the entrance leads to a tunnel, sometimes ten, sometimes fif teen or even twenty-five feet In length, through which the people crawl into their home. There is al ways a small window In the front of the Igloo. The window space Is not glazed, of course, but Is covered with the thin intestinal membrane of seals, skillfully seamed together. Tackling a Big Walrus Herd. "On the last expedition 1 did not go after walruses myself, leaving that i exhilarating labor to the younger men. and I have seen so much of it In the past that my first vivid Impression Is somewhat blunted. I have therefore asked Ceorge Borup. the young Yale i runner, who wns a member of the ex pedition. to write for me an account < of walrus hunting as It appears to a novice, anil his story Is m> good tint I give It to tin- reader In bis own < words, graphic with the keen Impres sions of twenty-three years and pic turesque with college sling, lie says " 'Walr'i liwtlnu Is the l?o;t sp' rt In the ???ootlT"* lln:- that I kn >w ( There Is something doing when you tackle a herd of flft-. odd. weighing ? between one and two tons e ich, that ??> i for you whether wmitv'ed or not: th.it i ran ptinrh n ho!e throu.-'i eight , of younc l"e; thit try t> cl'.mb infu the boat to get at or upaet you?w? never could make out which and didn't care, as the result to us would har* been the same?or else try to ram ' your boat and stove holes In It. 1 ?"Get In a mlxup with a herd, whero I every man In the whale bout Is stand- s Ing by to repel boarders, hitting them , over the head with oars, boat hooka, i axes and yelling like a cheering mc tlon at a football game to try to scat* them off, with the rifles going like ' young Catling guns and the walruses ( bellowing from pala and anger, com- I Ing to the surface with mad rushes. I sending the water up In the air till you | would think a flock of geysers was : turned loose In your Immediate vicin ity?oh. It's great! " 'When we were walrus hunting the Roosevelt would steam along with all ' hands ou the watch. Then suddenly I a keen eyed Kskimo would sing out, I "Awick swah!" or possibly, "Awlck < tedickswah!" "Walrus!" "A great , many walrus!" A Lively Mixup. : " 'We would look to see If there were 1 enough of the animals to make a raid I worth while. Then If the prospect was ( satisfactory the Uoosevelt would steam along to leeward, for If they smelled . her smoke they would make up and we would never see them again. " 'I shall never forget my first mix- ' up with a herd. We had sighted about 1 ten walruses two miles away, aud Mc- ( Xltllan aud 1, Dennis Murphy, a sailor, t and three Eskimos manned a whale j boat, and off we went. About 200 yards from the walruses we quit row ing and let Murphy scull us, while Mac and I croached side by side In the 5 bow, the Eskimos, with their harpoons, ? being ready right behind us. I "'When we were about twenty yards 1 from the herd one bull woke up. gave ; a gruut, poked another, woke him, aud then bang, bang, bang, we opened Are. Mac had a 351 Winchester automatic rifle, and he got off five shots so fast that before the first one left the muz- - zle the other four were chasing It. lie dropped a large bull, which gave a convulsive Hop and rolled Into the wa ter with a splash. 1 hit a couple, aud s with hoarse grunts of pain and fury ^ they all wriggled off the ice and dived out of sight. The bout was hurried 1 to within five yards of Mac's bull, aud 8 an Eskimo hurled a harpoon, hit the s bull and threw overboard the sealskin f float. At this stage of the game about c forty other walruses that had been E feeding below came up to the surface ^ to see what the noise was about, spit ting the clam shells out of their 1 mouths and snorting. The water was alive with the brutes, and many were so close to us that we could lilt them ; with the oars. A harpoon was driven into another by a corking throw, and just then, when my magazine was empty, things began to come our way. Furious Charge of the Brutes. " 'Suddenly a large bull, followed ( Dy two oiners, an wounueu, came 10 the surface twenty yards off, gave ' tongue to their battlecry and charged. 1 The Eskimos were not pleased at the 1; look of things. They grabbed the oars I; and began to bang them on the gun- s wale of the boat, yelling like so many steam sirens, hoping to scare the In vaders off, but they might as well have been crooning lullabies. " 'Mac, who had never before shot - anything larger than a bird, was cool, and his automatic was going off like a pompom when we cut loose on tho charging trio. Their numerous com- a panions added to the general din, and C the reports of the rifles, the shouts and f pounding of the Eskimos, with the bel- s lowing of the infuriated animals, sounded like Vesuvius blowing its head off. We sank one walrus, then disabled another, but the biggest one ^ dived and came up with a snort right a alongside of the boat so that he blew ti water in our faces. With our guns almost touching his head we let drive, and he began to sink. With a trl- j umphant cheer the Eskimos harpooned him. " 'Then we signaled to the Roosevelt to come up, and as soon as the friends and neighbors of the deceased smelled a the smoke they made for parts un- ^ known.'" li AEROPLANE PERIL TO BIRDS. J Aviation Said to Be Cause of Feathered '' Tribe's Decrease In France. P IJirds of all kinds are becoming a scarcer in France, say the ornitholo- w gists. According to no less an authori ty than Comte Clary, president of the j St. Hubert club, the danger of extinc tion of the winged species Is increased by the use of aeroplanes. "All who were present duping the avi ation contests at Rhelms," said Comte B Clary the other day at Paris, "will re call that the behavior of the frighten- 0 ed birds as the aeroplanes rose was a ^ picturesque feature in the early part of the week. In some cases they seem ed to be paralyzed with fear, while In R others they scudded away with loud cries. By the end of the week few s< birds were to be seen on the field. The tl same was true In other parts of France ol where aviation meets were held." 0] The proprietor of a large estate in the south of France says that he has g noticed the greatest alarm among birds, and especially among wild ducks, on * the appearance of a stecrable balloon ^ over their heads. It Is feared by orni- tl thologists and sportsmen that the ad- lc vent of flying machine* will cause n f< decrease in the number of game birds, t E Real Cold Storsae Hens. j Henry (iee of llotchklssvllle.
