fisherman, brother of Capt. M. B.
Dahl, master of the power boat
Silver Wave, was brought here
last evening from Hood Bay in

riflle, tossed it into a clump of
wood, and charged Dahl, who fell
over a log.

He was hitten severely in the
knees and elsewhere on both legs.
As the bear sauntered off. Dahl
rose. As he did so. the bear re
turned. and charged him again.
He shielded his face with his
hands, and was bitter again. Then
the animal wandered off a second
time. Dahl stealthily crawled
along the ground until he reach
ed his rifle. At this juncture the
bear charged again. The animal
was shot dead when within four
feet of Dahl.
Puts Oars in Armpits
The injured man made his way
to the beach a mile distant where
his row boat was. He was unable
to row the craft with his lacerat
ed hands, so he placed the oars in
his arm pits and rowed a mile
across Hood Bay to a cabin where
his two friends were. They brot
him to Juneau. He will be in the
hospital several weeks.
Brown bears are declared to be
vicious at this period of the year,
which is just prior to the time
when they go into hibernation.—
