Bear Beady
As Ship Gift
(See picture, Page 1)
When the steamship Kodiak
Victory, launched at Portland
Oregon, Dec. 19, sails on her
maiden voyage, the vessel will
‘carry in her officers’ quarters • be
mounted head, shoulders and
front claws of one of Kodiak
island’s famed, large Kodiak
bears.
The three-quarters mounting
of the hear, the gift of the people
of th? town of Kodiak, has been
completed by the firm of Jonas
Brothers, taxidermists, 1109
Fourth Avenue, Seattle.
Beneath the mounting is a
ailver plaque inscribed:
“Presented to S. S. Kodiak
Victory by the people of Kod
iak, Alaska, home of the world’s
largest bear."
Harry Christopherson and W.
A. “Pat” Cannon, owners of
Christy's bakery, bagged the
huge animal last spring.
In an interview in the Seattle
Times, Christootierson, who has
been visiting at his home in
Shelton, Wash., said:
“We came upon the big fellow
in a thicket near Uganik, north
western par: of Kodiak island
He was about 75 feet from us
when we first saw him. Armed
with powerful rifles, we both
took two shots at the bear, scor
ing hits. There were several
tense moments as the huge fel
low came toward us, a distance
of about 25 feet, before he drop
ped. In all my big-game hunting
experience he was the first bear
to charge me after being shot.
“The bear weighed between
1800 and 2000 pounds and
measured II feet G inches from
nose to tail. We skinned the big
fellow on the spot and dragged
the hide a distance of about a
mile. We turned the skin over to
the Rotary Club of Kodiak
which spvpsprfd the gift to the
[steamship Kodiak Victory.
‘The people of Kodiak paid
for the mounting and shipment
of the hide to Seattle. This week
the mounted head, shoulder-!
and front claws will be sent to
Portland to be placed aboard
the ship ”
