BYRD EXPEDITION
SEAL FOUND ON ICE BIOLOGISTS SURPRISED (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) NEW YORK, July 28. (Received July 29, at 9 p.m.) A message from Little America states that the expedition was surprised and overjoyed to-day by the discovery of a monstrous Wedell seal on the Bay of Whales ice. Lindsay killed the beast with a single shot. Although the men accepted the discovery as the first harbinger of spring the biologists expressed surprise, as it is the first live seal ever found during the winter in the Bay of Whales.
