Capt.

of
the

halibut
vessel
Atll,
believes
that
he
killed
a
sea
elephant
on
his

but
because
of
his.
marksmanship,
he
hasn't
anything
to
prove
that
he
encoun
tered
the
rare
creature.
Fishing
off
the
west
coast
of
the
Queen
Charlotte
Islands,
Capt.
Bussey
spotted
the
mam-al,
which
he
estimated
weighed
between
two
and
three
tons.
He
hit
It
with
one
shot
of
his
rifle
'
and
pulled
alongside
with:
his
boat.
The
creature
still
had
some

remained
afloat.
While
crewmen
endeavoured,
to
put
a
line
around
the
creature,
in
order
to
attach
floats,
Capt.
Bussey
decided
to
put
a
final
shot
into
it.
He
did,
killing
it
and
it
sank
immediately,
like
a
rock.
Vl
"If

I
hadn't
put
that

Into
It,
I
could
havejtept
It

It

Capt.

recalled
gloomily.
"I
didn't

I
think
It
was
a
