Penguins are awkward on land but at sea they are in their na.ive element. The short broad feet are stretched out straight behind like a rudder and the smooth flippers become efficient padâ€" dles, enabling them to swim even fastâ€" er than the shark. Penguins have a cruising range of thousands of miles, There is something irresistibly funny about this strange bird. All white in front, and black behind, with absurd flippers that suggest human arms, he waddles about on his short legs like a pompcous old gentleman in formal eveâ€" ning clothes. When vast numbers of penguins assemble along the shore, they resemble a mimic meeting of some exclusive club. Anotole France‘s famâ€" ous story "Penguin Island" concerns a priest who mis:ock a colony of penguins for human beings and attempted to convert them to Christianity.

Nevertheless the Newfoundland seal is of great commercial importance, and "sealing" constitutes one of Newfoundâ€" land‘s major industries. In order to prevent the extinction of the species the sealing season is strictly regulated by law and lasts only from March until May. There is keen competition beâ€" tween the crews of the different ships, and every year over two hundred thouâ€" sand "scuips", or seal pelts, are brought into St. Johns harbour. These are takâ€" en almost entire from young, newborn seals like the "baby whitecoat" who is shown on the postage stamp above. A valua‘le ocil, used for lubricating and perfumery, is extracted from the blubâ€" ber next to the skin, and the hide itself is. made into a leather used for shoes, purses and bookvindings. The flippers are considered a great delitacy, and the return of the sealing fleet is alâ€" ways the signal for a round of popuâ€" lar "fAipper parti¢cs‘" in the swank ciubs of St. Johns. cals congregate in large herds and move constantly from one place to anâ€" other over the barren ise floes in search of new and better fishing grounds. FPorâ€" metly it was weeks before a sealing ship would sight any seals, but today the herds are easily located by airplane and little time is lost in starting on the kill. The hunting crew, cr "batters", are armed with long gaffs with which they knock the youns seals over the head, and as the baby seal has been sentiâ€" mentally described as "a flufly white muff with large liquid brown éyes," the business is not one for ithe tenderâ€" hearied. The older males, or "doz" ssals, have to be shot with rifles, sinmze they may weigh as much as a half ton and are liable to show fighy. In spite of the comparatively short season, sealing is a hard life and only lean, wiry fellows with pienty of enâ€" durance can last very long at it.© The sealers must not only brave the severe Great Britain carried th Queen Victoria, but the fir issued by Canada showed a beaver.
