Une chasse aux phoques dans les mers arctiques

This unusual subject is well worth seeing, for few people can ever hope to enjoy the rare sight of capturing sea lions in the Arctic regions. The first picture is taken from the deck of a large vessel as it plies its way through the region of icebergs, and some magnificent specimens of the latter are shown in the perspective. As the boat plunges along through the foaming deep, all on board become excited, for the alert sailors have sighted a sea lion floundering around on a huge cake of ice. One of the men takes aim and is successful in killing the beast, and it is not long before they have him on board the ship, where he is skinned, after which the carcass is thrown overboard.
