A captain captured a yountf seal near Anacapa Island, California, recently, and took him on hoard his ship. As the vessel started the mother seal was noticed swimming about, howling piteously. The little captive barked rcsponaively. After reaching the wharf at Santa Barbara the captive was tied up in a jute sack and left loose on the deck. Soon after coming to an anchor the seal responded to its mother's call by casting itself overboard, all tied up as it was in the sack. The mother 6eized the sack and with her sharp teeth tore it open. She had followed the ship 80 miles.
