WHALE EXTERMINATORS
American Methods PERTH, December 8. Referring to yesterday’s New York cablegram anent the capture of un-' dersized whales, by the whaling vessel Frango, Inspector Matthew Goodlad, West Australian observer on the Frango, from June to October con-, firms the published story. Goodlad’s log declares that whales, from 30 to 31 feet, were brought aboard at dead of night, and a warning was given by the Frango’s captain, “If we (meaning Goodlad and Lieutenant Midtlying) persisted in antagonising the crew by staying on the flensing deck at night, we would get a knife into us.” The Westralian 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.
