The noise from the seal-rookery had grown deafening, so that the men had to shout to one another in the boat and presently -- and quite unexpectedly -- the boat was in the midst of dozens upon dozens of seals, throwing themselves out of the water, standing on their hind flippers, turning somersaults, and performing all manner of antics.
