DEED HUNTER ON
E I
TO ALASKA
More than seventy years old and
recognized as one of the greatest ama
teur big game sportsmen in the coun
try. Thomas Martindale, Philadelphia
millionaire wholesale grocer, is on
his fourth trip to Alaska to hunt birds.
Nearly every kind of game that this
country affords has fallen before the
rifle of Martindale. Three years ago
he hunted in the Bar lake district, the
next year in the White river country
and last year near Took Inlet. This
year he goes to Atlin to hunt aropnd
Atlin lake, which is one of the best
ptarmigan fields in the northland.
Mr. Martindale has a camp in the
Maine woods, but says that hunting
there is getting too tame for him and
he likes to get out where he can rough
it. Three or four months each year
he devotes to the outdoor life and to
this he attributes the fact that he is
as hale and hearty at his age as are
most men at the age of fifty.
The deer and moose hunting of the
Maine country are good, according to
Mr. Martindale, but he declares there
is no sport that quite equals that of
hunting the Alaskan brown bear. In
cidentally he modestly relates one or
two incidents when he has been hunt
ing that animal, that after succeeding
in wounding his quarry, he figured
that he had about an even break in
stopping the animal as he charged.
