JM Johnston 1948 Hair Seal 29 May ing along the surface with only their nose and the crown of their head showing. They move at a rate of about 1 ft/sec. If they are not disturbed they will swim along the surface 20 to 30 feet before submerg- ing. On days when the water is smooth they are seen more frequently. On rough days it is difficult to see them when surfaced because of the choppy surface. Today we were moving along at about 5 knots when a seal surfaced 30 feet ahead of us. Seeing the boat it immediately flopped itself forcefully on its side in order to submerge quickly. 12 June Endicott Arm, Alaska 1 mi SW Dawes Glacier. On the drifting icebergs
