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.
