WAY OF THE WHALE
Where does the whale go in the course of its journeyings? Scientists of the research ship William Scoresby have just returned to London from a six-month cruise in Antarctic waters south of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. During this time they have marked more than 800 whalos. The position and date of marking was recorded in each case, and a reward is offered for the return of the marks with particulars of where and when the whale was captured. Thus it is hoped to obtain much valuable knowledge of whale movements. Meteorological and ice records were also taken and information collected concerning Antarctic currents and the life in the waters.
