Of all the inhabitants of the ocean few are more destructive than the sea-wolf—a kind of dolphin, which attains, when full grown, a length of fourteen feet and a weight of three thousand pounds. When a mother walrus perceives a sea-wolf, she endeavors to throw her cub on to an iceberg, if one is near. Failing this, she gets it on top of her head, and swims with it above water. . But this is vain. Diving far below, the fish of prey comes ifp with tremendous force, striking the frantic mother a terrific blow, and jolting the cub off her' head into the water. Here it falls an easy victim to J the assailant, and is soon devoured.
