I ^QjJ REDFEARN MOTOR COMPANY I I SALES SERVICE I West DeKalb St. Camden, South Carolina Phone 140 Whaling Still Offers Adventurous Career To those who believe that whaling belongs to the era of wasp waists, ami hand-lit street lamps, the lately reported visit to New York harbor of a 16,000-ton ship loaded with 15,000 tons of whale oil offers definite j denial. Owned by an American oil. company, though manned mostly by. Norwegians or Norwegian-Americans,) this ship is known as a floating factory"?so called because she carries her own machinery for butchering, including boilers in which blubber is: reduced to oil for later industrial use. She has a working crew of some 200.! Compared with old-time whale huntings, when harpoons were thrown by hand, preeent-day whaling! has become literally big business in blubber harvesting. Back in the 19th j century when America led the whal9 I ing world, audacious Yankee sailors set out in grease-soaked wooden ships j ?potenial death traps with their flres aboard for melting down blubber oil. They sought comparatively small gamof the sperm whale, bottle nose and other species that could be con-i quered by men in rowboats armed only with a harpoon or lance. Today the factory sends out its 'killer" boats?motor-driven "catch-' era" of 15o to 200 ton ?displacement? after the world's biggest living creature, the blue whale. These whales sometime measure a hundred feet in I length 'and weigh more than 100 tons ?or as much as 20 adult elephants. For all their bulk, however, they have little chance against modern deadly arts. When the harpoon gun, invented by a Norwegian, was put into use around the turn of the century, it boomed the knell of the big beasts of the sea. and Has almost succeeded in destroying the industry itself with its efficiency in depleting the whale ranks. . Set on a platform of the catcher's bow, swiveled in any direction by an expert gunner, this weapon is a combination bomb and grappling iron. Launched 30 to 40 feet through the air, it explodes as it penetrates the whale's body, the flukes of the iron spreading out to hold the lethal barb securely in place. As the giant threshes about in the foaming sea, another shot usually finishes the Job. If the whale is one that sinks, the crew gives him bouyancy by thrust? ing a sharpi perforated steel tube into his tomach and pumping it full of compressed air or steam, something like a motorist blowing up a flat tire. With other victims he is then! towed back to headquarters by the catcher, and finally?hauled up a huge slipway cut in the stern?is swallowed by the factory ship in a "Jonah act" in reverse. Once on deck the whale becomes chief figure in a butcher scene that rivals that of any stockyard. Wading knee deep in gore and grease, workers swarm over its carcass like Lil Uputlans on a Gulliver. With their sharp knives they strip off the blubber in chunks that are lifted by winches and thrust down openings around the deck to waiting pressure boilers below. Steam saws cut into flesh and bone, mincing machines do their work, and within an hour or two the sea monster Is on hlB way to become consumer products in the form of anything from cosmetics to H explosives. Like the pig's squeal in the stockyard, modern industry passes up only the whale's spout! .H In the never-ending drive for products and profits most of the once innumerable whale population of Arctic, north and certain south seas has been killed off. Last hunting grounds of any consequence are now in remote Antarctic regions where, among others, the big blue whale and its smaller companion, the fin whale, still hold forth in lordly quantities. Girl Shoots Self ' Florence, June 20?Elizabeth Wyndham, 22-year-old Florence girl, was re- v ported In a critical condition at a Florence hospital tonight with two bullet wounds in the abdomen. Physicians said her recovery was doubtful. Coroner Tom Wallace quoted the girl as saying the wounds were selfinflicted. The execution of 17 members of an alleged wrecking and espionage group in the irobidjan Jewish autonomous republic is reported from Moscow, by a firing squad after a trial at KhabaroYsk, eastern Siberia. 5 ?> ^ s < a B==^ I Pre-Inventory Specials! 1 BATHING SUITS 98c to $1.98 Values up to $3.98 LADIES SILK DRESSES } $1.98 to $5.98 All Dresses Cut to the Core Ladies and Children* COTTON DRESSES 59c to $1.98 Cannon Fancy Colored TOWELS 33c pound Values up to 49c eaeh CHINESE LINEN TABLE CLOTHS fand BRIDGE SETS Greatly Reduced Men's White fl SLIPPERS $1.49 to $5.98 Nunn Busch, Edgerton's, Etc Men's Summer TROUSERS 98c to $2.98 I Linens.
