Twelve adult brown bears killed
and two cubs taken prisoner, is the
bag of a hunting party from which
Howard Long, of Seward, has just
returned. The young man called on
friends here Wednesday while en
rroute back to Seward on the Alas
ka. With Andy Simons Walter
Lodge and A1 Peal, all of Seward,
he was employed for the hunting
trip by Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Stead
man, J. Melloncrat, and Lieut-Col.
Veeter, all St. Louis people. They
sailed May 4 on the cannery tender
Auk, which they had chartered, and
made their w:ay down Shelikoff
strait past the queer old native vil
lage of Katmai, where the rude bara
baras are still half buried in the
| ashes of the tremendous volcano
eruption of 1912. They anchored in
Cold Bay on the Alaska peninsula
below Kodiak Island—not the Cold
Bay to which oil locaters have been
stampeding, but another of the same
name, about fifty miles from the end
of the peninsula. “The season was
unfortunately very late this year,”
said Mr. Long. “All the time we were
gone we had only five days of sun
shine. Colonel Veeter had a mov
ing picture outfit with him, but had
very little opportunity to use it.
There is no timber except alders in
the country where we were. We
hiked across to the Bristol sBay
shore. Altogether, twelve bears were
killed by the party. We must have
seen about two hundred bears dur
ing the trip. All were brown. Oc
casionally we saw caribou and red
| fox. One day a mother bear was
! killed and her two young cubs cap
' tured. We chained them to the deck,
i and they made us lots of fun on the
voyage out. They are to be put in
1 the park at St. Louis. Two of the
bears killed measured over twelve
feet long. We went down into
Squaw Harbor, near Pavloff volcano.
Mrs. Steadman and Colonel Veeter
left for the states on the Watson
from Kodiak during the latter part
of June. The rest of us stayed till
July 1, when we sailed from King
Cove, near Unga, on the Pacific
American Fish Co. boat, Catherine
D. We picked up Dr. Blvth, the Sew
ard dentist, who had been on a pro
fessional trip among the islands, and
was anxious to get back to Seward.
The Katherine D. dropped us at
Ketchikan, where we caught the
Alaska bound north.”
