"I might have brought it in with me, but I didn't see it." "I'm going," declared Bobby, with an accent that left no doubt he was, as he pulled off his clothes, and his sealskin boots. "You've had your dip, and I'm going to have one now the first of the year." "It's pretty cold," Jimmy cautioned. "I've been in, and I'm used to it, and don't mind it." But Bobby was in, and swimming for the skiff.

Nagsby's favorite lodger, who had held the rooms above mine for three years. Rut the lady had a most beautiful sealskin jacket, trimmed with tails of sable.

She turned toward him a glance from her tranquil eyes, which he did not understand. "Then you are going?" "Next week, Tuesday or Wednesday. I shall be away only ten days at most." She put on her sealskin toque, ornamented with a branch of holly. "Is it something that you can not postpone?" "Oh, yes. Fox-skins would not be worth anything in a month.

The relief was immediate, and, picking up the sealskin bag, I walked slowly beside her, away from the track. The first act was over: the curtain fallen. The scene was "struck."

An inhabitant of Unst, one of the Shetland Islands, beholds a number of the sea-folk dancing by moonlight on the shore of a small bay. Near them lie several sealskins. He snatches up one, the property, as it turns out, of a fair maiden, who thereupon becomes his wife. Years after, one of their children finds her sealskin, and runs to display it to his mother, not knowing it was hers.

"Stay one moment," said Stanley, when Maximus concluded. "I have something to show you;" and hastening into his room, he quickly returned with the little piece of sealskin that had been found at the deserted Indian camp. "Do you know anything of this, Maximus? Do you understand these marks?"

They permit the animals to swerve well to one side clear of the komatik when coasting down a hillside. In the length of bridle and trace there is also a wide variation in different sections, those used in the south being very much shorter than those in the north. The dog harness is made usually of polar bear or sealskin. There are no reins.

A sealskin mantle is the sole luxurious ostentation that a woman of Mrs Machin's temperament and there are many such in the Five Towns and elsewhere will conscientiously permit herself. "Try it on," said Denry. She rose weakly and tried it on.

When the skin is taken from the seal it is split by machinery into a lower and an upper layer. When so split the deep-seated pits of the long hairs are cut, and these hairs come out.
