HUNT FOR WHALES
RACE TO ANTARCTIC
INTERNATIONAL RIVALRY
(Received November 3, noon.)
CAPE TOWN, Novembers.
Whalers have .begun their annual Antarctic race by the dispatch of highspeed scouts to peg the best grounds. It is anticipated that three hundred ships will participate, of which forty are Norwegians, docked at Cape Town. They intend to whale further east than ever before in the Ross Sea.
A German factory ship of 16,000 tons is going direct to the West Indies and then southwards to meet the catchers.
The new international agreement, to \ which Japan is not a party, withdrew the restriction on the number of catchers, but limits the size of whales that may be caught.
