"
He
's
the
only
thing
in
the
sea
uglier
than
Sea
Vitch
,
"
screamed
a
Burgomaster
gull
,
wheeling
under
Sea
Vitch
's
nose
.
"
Uglier
,
and
with
worse
manners
!
Stareek
!

Kotick
swam
back
to
Novastoshnah
,
leaving
the
gulls
to
scream
.
There
he
found
that
no
one
sympathized
with
him
in
his
little
attempt
to
discover
a
quiet
place
for
the
seals
.
They
told
him
that
men
had
always
driven
the
holluschickie
--
it
was
part
of
the
day
's
work
--
and
that
if
he
did
not
like
to
see
ugly
things
he
should
not
have
gone
to
the
killing
grounds
.
But
none
of
the
other
seals
had
seen
the
killing
,
and
that
made
the
difference
between
him
and
his
friends
.
663
Besides
,
Kotick
was
a
white
seal
.

"
What
you
must
do
,
"
said
old
Sea
Catch
,
after
he
had
heard
his
son
's
adventures
,
"
is
to
grow
up
and
be
a
big
seal
like
your
father
,
and
have
a
nursery
on
the
beach
,
and
then
they
will
leave
you
alone
.
In
another
five
years
you
ought
to
be
able
to
fight
for
yourself
.
"
Even
gentle
Matkah
,
his
mother
,
said
:
"
You
will
never
be
able
to
stop
the
killing
.
Go
and
play
in
the
sea
,
Kotick
.
"
And
Kotick
went
off
and
danced
the
Fire-dance
with
a
very
heavy
little
heart
.
665
That
autumn
he
left
the
beach
as
soon
as
he
could
,
and
set
off
alone
because
of
a
notion
in
his
bullet-head
.
He
was
going
to
find
Sea
Cow
,
if
there
was
such
a
person
in
the
sea
,
and
he
was
going
to
find
a
quiet
island
with
good
firm
beaches
for
seals
to
live
on
,
where
men
could
not
get
at
them
.
So
he
explored
and
explored
by
himself
from
the
North
to
the
South
Pacific
,
swimming
as
much
as
three
hundred
miles
in
a
day
and
a
night
.
He
met
with
more
adventures
than
can
be
told
,
and
narrowly
escaped
being
caught
by
the
Basking
Shark
,
and
the
Spotted
Shark
,
and
the
Hammerhead
,
and
he
met
all
the
untrustworthy
ruffians
that
loaf
up
and
down
the
seas
,
and
the
heavy
polite
fish
,
and
the
scarlet
spotted
scallops
that
are
moored
in
one
place
for
hundreds
of
years
,
and
grow
very
proud
of
it
;
but
he
never
met
Sea
Cow
,
and
he
never
found
an
island
that
he
could
fancy
.
666
If
the
beach
was
good
and
hard
,
with
a
slope
behind
it
for
seals
to
play
on
,
there
was
always
the
smoke
of
a
whaler
on
the
horizon
,
boiling
down
blubber
,
and
Kotick
knew
what
that
meant
.
667
Or
else
he
could
see
that
seals
had
once
visited
the
island
and
been
killed
off
,
and
Kotick
knew
that
where
men
had
come
once
they
would
come
again
.

He
picked
up
with
an
old
stumpy-tailed
albatross
,
who
told
him
that
Kerguelen
Island
was
the
very
place
for
peace
and
quiet
,
and
when
Kotick
went
down
there
he
was
all
but
smashed
to
pieces
against
some
wicked
black
cliffs
in
a
heavy
sleet-storm
with
lightning
and
thunder
.
Yet
as
he
pulled
out
against
the
gale
he
could
see
that
even
there
had
once
been
a
seal
nursery
.
And
it
was
so
in
all
the
other
islands
that
he
visited
.
669
Limmershin
gave
a
long
list
of
them
,
for
he
said
that
Kotick
spent
five
seasons
exploring
,
with
a
four
months
'
rest
each
year
at
Novastoshnah
,
when
the
holluschickie
used
to
make
fun
of
him
and
his
imaginary
islands
.
He
went
to
the
Gallapagos
,
a
horrid
dry
place
on
the
Equator
,
where
he
was
nearly
baked
to
death
;
he
went
to
the
Georgia
Islands
,
the
Orkneys
,
Emerald
Island
,
Little
Nightingale
Island
,
Gough
's
Island
,
Bouvet
's
Island
,
the
Crossets
,
and
even
to
a
little
speck
of
an
island
south
of
the
Cape
of
Good
Hope
.
But
everywhere
the
People
of
the
Sea
told
him
the
same
things
.
Seals
had
come
to
those
islands
once
upon
a
time
,
but
men
had
killed
them
all
off
.
Even
when
he
swam
thousands
of
miles
out
of
the
Pacific
and
got
to
a
place
called
Cape
Corrientes
(
that
was
when
he
was
coming
back
from
Gough
's
Island
)
,
he
found
a
few
hundred
mangy
seals
on
a
rock
and
they
told
him
that
men
came
there
too
.
670
That
nearly
broke
his
heart
,
and
he
headed
round
the
Horn
back
to
his
own
beaches
;
and
on
his
way
north
he
hauled
out
on
an
island
full
of
green
trees
,
where
he
found
an
old
,
old
seal
who
was
dying
,
and
Kotick
caught
fish
for
him
and
told
him
all
his
sorrows
.
"
Now
,
"
said
Kotick
,
"
I
am
going
back
to
Novastoshnah
,
and
if
I
am
driven
to
the
killing-pens
with
the
holluschickie
I
shall
not
care
.
"
