WHALING IN SOUTHERN WATERS by Frank Tod This delightful book, recently published, is the first full account of whaling in the south of the South Island since McNab's O/d Whaling Days-was published in 1913. This handsomely presented, soft-covered book of 158 pages is jam-packed with information, and includes 88 illustrations. There is a comprehensive list of early residents at Otago and Southland prior to 1848. of immense value to genealogists, etc., and a long list of early ships. Several pages of whaling songs bring the men to life, even though we dislike their trade. PRICE QNLY SIS.QQ Some Press Opinions: 'As good a collection of whaling action, people and places as could be found in one book anywhere.'
