Text Appearing Before Image:
e not a solitary puddle of mud-spotting is to be seen, thougheverything is reeking with moisture, and the fog even dissolves intorain as we view the scene. Every trace of vegetation upon this paradehas been obliterated. A few tufts of grass capping the summits ofthose rocky hillocks indicated on the eastern and middle slope are theonly signs of botanical life which the seals have suffered to remain. A small rock, Seevitchie Kammin, 800 or 900 feet right to the south-ward and out at sea, is also covered with the black and yellow forms offur seals and sea lions. It is environed by shoal reefs, rough and kelp-grown, which navigators prudently avoid. This rookery of the Reef, proper, has 4,016 feet of sea margin, withan average depth of 150 feet, making ground for 301,000 breeding sealsand their young. Garbotch rookery has 3,660 feet of sea margin, withan average depth of 100 feet, making ground for 183,000 breeding sealsand their young, an aggregate for this great Reef rookery of 481,000
