LONG CRUISE OF THE STEAMER
ALBATROSS.
Strange Life on the Seal Rookeries
?Making an Immense Circle
Around the Islands?A
Volcano in Action.
THE United States steamer
Albatross is now stationed at
Mare Island after a four
months' cniise of more than
ordinary interest. The stanch ship in
the service of the United States Fish
Commission had a double duty to perform.
She steamed 13,000 miles in
the North Pacific, now dredging the
ocean and dragging to the surface its
strange monsters and cnrious fish,
again patrolling the seas in search of
illegal seal hunters and stopping them
on the ocean highway to give an
account of themselves.
. This year the Albatross was in the
service of the United States Navy. She
was commissioned to be on the lookout
for sealers who had no right to
capture the animals, and when she
gave orders for a vessel to stop, in
most cases she did not have to repeat
the signal. The Albatross would not
cut much of a figure in a difficulty
with a cruiser, but she is armed, and
her men know how to shoot.
in addition to ner auiiesasau ol-whj
guard the Albatross had 'other commissions.
As usual she had to find
out all about the life of the seas she
traversed. Then she had to discover
the nature of the ocean, covering an
enormous circle 250 miles in diameter,
with the Pribylov islands as a
center. The Government wanted to
know about the fish upon which the
seals live. It wished to know how far
from the rookeries they went to feed,
and the most important point of all,
it wished to secure a comparative estimate
between the conditions existing
on the islands last year and this.
For that purpose photographs of the
rookeries have been taken. The system
was inaugurated last year, and J. Stanlev
Brown succeeded in securing the
required photographs. These photographs
are taken from the same point
of view as last year, and are handed to

the Washington officials in the form of
panoramas. It is very easy then to
see the changes of a year in the numbers
of the animals -which make their
homes on the Pribylov islands.
On May 20 the Albatross steamed
out ol tne naroor to rort xownsena,
where she remained for five days, giving
and taking instructions from the
patrol fleet. Then she sailed north.
As she went further up the coast the
seals, returning to the rookeries, became
more numerous. Scores of them
could be Been gently tossing on the
waves as they slept. There had been
quite a severe windstorm. The waves
were tossed, and the seals had to remain
awake for days until the calm
came and they could sleep.
It was one of the duties of the Alba
tross to proreci me reiurnmg sciis,
and it did. It was not long before the
steamer was at the Queen Charlotte
Islands, and then she was off for Cape
Erince of Wales. All the while 6he was
busy with dredge and lines, the first
to carry to the surface objects from
the ocean's floor, and the second to
catch fish too large for the net.
The Albatross took a long journey
across the "fair weather grounds" to
8t. Paul's Island, stopping to search
scores of sealers.
At St. Paul's Island Independence

munity, thousands of miles from home
in the desolate land of ice, ran up the
Stars and Stripes and fired the salute
of the Nation. All of the islands in
the group -were visited and then the
journey was continued westward along
the south side of the Aleutian Islands.
In that journey the island volcano
of Adak was seen in full eruption. Far
in the distance the sailors saw the
steam issuing from the crater. As the
ship drew nearer the -water could be
seen boiling and rushing over the
sides. It was a beautiful picture.
For miles around were the calm waters
of the oceaD, and in the foreground
the island of fire and steam. The vessel
stopped and a photograph of the
island and its volcano was taken.
After a few days the steamer had
passed the last islaud and had turned
her course eastward to cruise along
the north side of the Aleutian grouj>.
A short stop was made at Oonalaska,
and then the journey of 225 miles to
the Pribvlov islands was begun. The

seal rookeries were established. The
first, duty was to take soundings ami to
secure characteristic specimens of all
the fish found within a radius of 250
miles with the islands as a center.
The second was to photograph the
seals on the rookeries.
The soundings had never been made
before and were most thoroughly
taken. The center was taken at a point
midway between the two islands.
Bearings were taken and the steamer
started on its oourse for 125 miles. It
was perhaps the most interesting ele
ment of the cruise. Every ten miles

the surface, examined, recorded and
numbered. The weight and length of
the fish were carefully noted and then
each specimen was placed in alcohol tc
be added to that collection of the denizers
of the ocean which the Albatross
has on board. It is one of the most
interesting on any vessel in the world.
When the journey of 120 miles was
ended then the steamer began on an
axe ol tfie great circle. it continued
only for ten miles and again started
toward the center. So the journey of
hundreds of miles was made.
The result of that long journey
around the islands will be known in
the first place as the establishment of
the "one hundred fathom curve,"
which represents (the depth of the
ooean around the islands until about
sixty miles west from them, when the
depth increases from 100 fathoms to
1500 fathoms. It is of course varying
from the lowest to the highest figure.
Eastward of the islands the depth
varies from ten to seventy-five fathoms.
While the Albatross waa making its
soundings one of her officers was
stationed on the islands to study the
seals and secure pictures 01 tne tookeries.
His task was no easy one. Jt
took caution and judgment, ability to
get near enough to the animals without
arousing them, and an - equal
ability to escape them . if they gave
chase.
The officer of the Albatross had'
more than one narrow escape. On one
occasion he had cautiously approached

a huge bull seal. His camera was set
and everything was ready for the picture
when suddenly the animal reared
up in fright and anger. The officer
dropped camera and all incumbrances
and rubhed for a place ofl safety. The
seal sniffed at the camera and went off
satisfied.
During his stay on the islands the 1
officer of the. Albatross recorded every
fact of interest regarding the seals. He
saw them on the rookeries day after
day, the fiercely fighting bulls defending
their harems. He saw the bachelors
on the hauling grounds and saw
the natives drive them on the highland
to the killing grounds, where the deft

Time and again he saw men "bitten by
a dead seal." That is the way the natives
tell of the terrible lacerations
they receive from a seal that is only
half Btunned by the club. The officer
ate seal meat with a relish, and began
to think a seal steak was as good as
porterhouse.
After the steamer had finished her
soun lings the journey home was begun.
The officer on the island had
long since finished his work. He had
hundreds of photographs, and was only)
too glad to get away. Back over the sam< j
