ulle Cornwall Ions were killing time
around the wharf of the Chiopeck Fish
company ut the foot of Virginia street.
Seattle, when they saw a sea lion
hutting Its uoe?e against the piles of
the w harf iu a lonesome manner.
The animal looked as if it were lost.
It had a sort of pitiful appearance,
flopping around far from any other sea
Hon*, and young Wlndall and hi# com
panions Immediately conceived the
Idea that It was up to them to be com
panionable with the lion, which was
only a little fellow al?out one-third
grown.
A boat was obtained by the boys,
and they got after the lion. Somehow
the maritime beast didn't take kindly
to the i.lea of liecomlng a hanger on to
a crowd of water front ?kids" anil
tried to get away. 15ut It couldn't.
Several pairs of hands grabbed It
while It was deciding what to do about
It, and the animal was brought Into the
boat
A box was obtained and the sea lion
Incarcerated. After he had been tic
kled under the chin a few times, how
?ver, and fed everything from peanut*
to bananas lie began to take very
kindly to his new environment, and
now he Is as tame as a kitten. He Is
even allowed to go for a swim every
day, returning always to his captors.
After ownership of a sea lion palls on
Wlndall he will sell the animal to
Mme vaudeville show. '
