SCOTTISH COMEDY
BUCKS 11 EE" WHALES
LONDON, 28th Oct.
An intensified .version of how to deal with a. stranded .whale is reported from Dingwall (Scotland), when 150 carcases were stranded in Dornoch Firth during a massed attack on shoals of herrings.
Experts inspected them and pronounced them “-true . fishes royal.” Therefore they belong to the King. The Health authorities requested the. Royal Health Board to dispose of the menace, but the board replied that it was the 'Customs milkers’ business, as the King was only concerned scientifically, especially if the fishes were required as museum specimens. The local council then decided in the interests of local health, to low the carcases to deep water before they putrefied.
