UNDERSIZED WHALES
ALLEGATIONS AGAINST AMERICAN SHIP CONFIRMED BY-AUSTRALIAN OBSERVER Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright PERTH, December 8. Referring to yesterday’s New York cablegram concerning tbe capture of undersized whales by the whaling vessel Frango, Inspector Matthew Goodlad, the Western Australian observer on the Frango from June to October, confirms the published story. Goodlad’s log declares that whales 30 and 31 feet were brought aboard at dead of night, and a warning was given to the Frango’s captain, “If we (meaning Goodlad and Lieutenant Midtlyng) persisted in antagonising the crew by staying on the flensing deck at night we would get a knife shoved into us.” The Western Australian Government takes a serious view of the Frango’s alleged infringement of the whaling convention, and is sending a summary of Goodlad’s log to Washington.
