“THE SUBMARINE.”
HARPOONED WHALE'S PERISCOPE.
A Hamtshire correspondent sands the following extract from a letter from her son in Buenos Aires: — "Everybody is very excited here because a whale 50ft in length has been washed -up on the beach. When it came in with a ship's flag on a harpoon sticking in its side everybody thought it a submarine. They were only certain of its being a whale when the tide went out." ' Can this, she asks, account for the rumours of German submarines being seen in those parts? "
