Grande chasse à l&apos;ours blanc dans les mers polaires

This picture opens with the hunting party about to disembark from the steamer anchored in a sheltered spot in the Arctic. Ice floes are to be seen on every hand, and in the distance a berg may be noted on which two polar bears are gamboling. The hunting party having descended into a rowboat, pull for the nearest ice floe. Here they haul up their boat, and drag it across the ice to the next open lead. Then into the water and on again. After this difficult trip is nearly accomplished, one of the hunters take a long shot at the polar bears, who in the meantime having seen the hunters approach, have made a wild break for liberty, running across the ice, and swimming the open water. As the hunter fires one bear drops. The party now advance to within a few paces of the big white beast, but as they approach they grow cautious for fear Sir Bruin is not dead. Sure enough, when they are quite close, the bear stands up on his hind legs and shows light, but the foremost huntsman dropping on one knee, fires another bullet and Mr. Bear spins around, turns a somersault and drops in a lump on his head. Loading the carcass into the boat, returning to the ship and hauling the game aboard, are successively shown, and the picture ends with a view on board showing two polar bear cubs which have been captured. From the savage way these cubs attack their chains, one would scarcely be led to believe they would make good house pets. The film is not only interesting, in its vivid depiction of a hunting scene, but also in the fact that it is taken in the very region in which Commander Peary so recently made his world-startling discovery.
