YOUNG SEAL'S INJURY
GOOD PROGRESS MADE ANIMAL REFUSES TO EAT [by TELEGIIAPH —OWN correspondent] NAPIER, Monday The young seal at present quartered in a wood-shed at Mr. W. H. Carter's residence on Marino Parade, Napier, is apparently making good progress toward recovery from tho effects of the injury to its shoulder. Mr. Cartor said to-day that an authority who had examined tho seal had expressed the view that tho wound would heal within two or three days. Ho had added that there was no cause for concern in tho fact that tho seal refuses to eat, for the reason that the herd from winch tho creature probably became separated when it sustained its injury invariably feasted before leaving Auckland Island, and could subsist for three or four weeks without further food. The authority is of the view that the seal will be ready to take to the sea again before the end of the present week, always providing that it wants to.
