...shoot seals, except in self-defense against an angry, sharp-toothed male, but they sometimes make the ice fly in front of their rivals in the race to the main herd, and sometimes a bullet goes astray. A swiler must be light on his feet, for a seal can lollop over the ice as fast as a man can run. A good swiler can skin a seal in 40 to 60 seconds, and may take as many as 120 sculps per day.

They are able to stand nearly erect on land, to lollop along over a rocky beach as fast as a man, though they soon get out of breath. During the mating season they will chase creatures who trespass on their breeding grounds. Sharp-toothed, they can bite savagely. They live to be about 14 years old. They arrive at the Pribilof Islands early in May, three weeks before the cows, stay there until August. Each bull has a seraglio of from...
