Amerman, Kenneth 1963 many in the dump. This is where the largest group of black-feet seem to be congregating; about forty there today. Nothing unusual seems to have been drifted in by the storm. November 10--Six of us went out after noon to tag seals and, hopefully, to weigh several of different sizes. We were using a large tripod supplied by the CG, plus Bill's hoist. Weighed two on the north point. Found that we couldn't keep them strapped to the board since they taper to both ends. The first individual was quite the worse for wear by the time we got straightened around to using a heavy rope sling around the flipper area. The second went much better. However, we found that this is not the way to weigh seals since the third animal, about 60 pounds heavier than the first two, died. Apparently the weight of the animal put sufficient force on the rope to collapse the lungs. The lung cavity was full of blood when we autopsied her. Therefore, much to our consternation, we spent the rest of a long day skinning the animal. We saved whole organs when practicable, portions of them in other cases, preserving them in both Bonin's and buffered formalin. The carcass was placed in a wire cage and left to be cleaned in an old road off the west beach to the antenna field. The skin was salted and frozen. We do not plan to do another seal in the near future. I don't particularly care to see another seal for a week or so.
