HUS TALE ABOUT
A POLAR BEAR
(Cordova Times.)
All residents of the coast section of
southwestern Alaska and the Bering
sea country, know Captain Dodge, of
the cutter Unalaga, and the following
story printed in a Chicago paper about
his bear hunting experiences on some
long past voyage will prove exceed
ingly interesting. The best part of
the yarn as published is the picture
which accompanies it, which unfortu
nately cannot be reproduced here. It i
portrays a rather frightened appear
ing individual clad after the manner
of a Siberian, with a giant polar bear
at his heels, and in the background a
dense growth of spruce showed. The
National Geographical society would
probably pay a high price for a photo
graph of polar bears living in a spruce
forest, close to the habitat of polar
bears, but it made a good drawing
anyway. The bear story:
“According to Captain F. C. Dodge,
of the U. S. steamship Unalaga, which
arrived a few days ago at St. Math
ew’s island, Alaska, polar bear hunt
ing is fine sport—“if you see the bear
first and he’s a long way off.”
“Those I have encountered were al
ways too close for comfort, and a
man’s self respect. I have a suspi
cion that it was more sport for them
than for me,” said the captain.
Captain Dodge was trying to reach
St. Matthews through the pack ice on
a government errand. Incidentally he
expected to get some polar bear shoot
ing, for they came to that region to
rear their young.
“The first I ever saw and hunted,”
he said, “was on the ice here. I had
gone ashore with five other officers.
We had seen a big female and two
cubs, feeding on fish, from the ship
and had come up to leeward of them.
“As we neared the spot where the
bear had been seen, one after another
of our party suddenly grew tired and
stopped to rest. The size of the
tracks had turned their sporting
blood to ice.
“Finally only one other and myself
were forging on. We, too, wanted to
call it off, but each was afraid of the
other's taunts. Coming around a
hummock, we heard a furious snort.
There was the bear, mouth open,
tongue hanging out, with a cub at
either side—not twenty feet away.
“I simply couldn’t lift my gun, and
Quinlan, the other man, was equally as
helpless with fright. Meantime the
bear rambled off in a hurry.
“When she had taken a good lead
we ran lamely after her, firing wild.
And Suddenly the other ‘tired’ men
came running up, too, shooting in vol
leys. i
“Oh, it was great sport, all right!
"Another time I jumped a polar bear
from behind a 15-foot ice hummock.
I fired just as he came for me, wound
ing him without stopping his rush.
“Dropping my rifle, I sped for the
beach, the bear right behind me, leap
ed into the icy water and swam for
the small boat that had brought me
ashore. The brute piled right in af
ter me, and I swam as I never have
before or since. The cockswain pulled
me into the boat, while the crew filled
the bear with lead. I have his skin at
home pow—over ten feet square.
“1’vf had all the sport with the
polar bear I want.”
