Bear Trip
(continued from page 1)
Sc The majority of the group
e resting and talking in the
when Wiseman called his big
g. Happy, to go work. Soon
-o’ were as-ured that there was
>nt far down in the snow.
Wiseman kept trying to dig a
'rich back under a rock, in an
art to find a breathing hole
at once he fell into a hole to
waist!
Wiseman tells it “we heard
Lrls and champing of leeth and
'°t out as fast as I could
rning everybody back. Now '
- party was really in earnest
'Many approached close en
to see the bears nose and
trying to get up to the sur
but as the snow was about
'*■ 5 feet deep and packed, the
was having some trouble.
1 thought the bear was too
lested to stay for the snare
! week following, so I ordered
kill. In order to rush the deal
^ Colvin eased up wftli War
Nickell and threw a smoking
> into the hole. Suddenly a
ge of snow burst forward and
* came the Kodiak looking
re like a polar bear. He was
glistening with snow and snarled
and brisi led, but seemingly the
bright un and white snow made
him blind and he could only
scent the dnect>< u of the party
“I knew iroin previous experi
ence that th ' disposition oi a Ko
diak bear is m unknown quant
ity, so after the angered beast,
broke forth we took time only
for a few pictures—and the bear
went down to repose!
"While the boys gathered and
skinned the bear I crawled into
the den with a flash ight in an
attempt to locate another one
But there was too much snow to
get into the main den. Evidently
the bear we got had been driven
out by the mother or father bear.
“After the hide was rolled up
we started back, crossing the
peak with a bird’s eye view of
the marvelous scenery from Bar
ometer mountain to the mouth
She'ikof strait-*. Much of the dis
tance to the beach was covered
by fast sliding down the steep
slopes.
“We boarded the Charlotte B
and arrived at Kodiak that even
ing, all feeling as though we had
had an extraordinary tiip.”
