SEAL AS A PET ON CANADIAN BEACH
Entertains Isolated Community (From a Reuter Correspondent) QUATSINO. Buster, a hair seal, made an orphan by a bounty-hunter’s bullet and adopted when he was only one day old, has become a lovable, loyal, plavful and entertaining resident of this isolated community at the north-western tip of Vancouver Island. Buster is as free as his brethren and swims out to sea for hours, but he likes to visit beaches when people off-shore call him, and romps with children and dogs in the water. His owners, Mr and Mrs A. R. Lind, who were given the seal by an Indian boy, sand that Buster is just as happy sleeping in the house, under the house or on the beach. Buster is now a round, 150pounder, four feet long.
