a disadvantage in the water but was
safely restored to the boat and suf

of the Bear, Capt. Cochran was
ashore paying farewell visits and re

the case in previous seasons, this time
the farewells were not for the few
months of winter but for years, per

Bear when spring returns once more,

by his unvarying cordiality and the
numerous kindly services he has ren

personification of kindness and not
a native from the cape to the Kus

of highest praise for the many favors
he has shown them during his years
of service in Bering waters. Always

consistent with his duties that would
