RIVAL WHALING PARTIES
EVIDENCES OF A FEUD. INQUIRY INTO A COLLISION. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Blenheim, Last Night. A nautical board heard evidence at Picton to-day syth reference to two collisions between launches owned by the rival parties. The feud between the Tory Channel whalers is now a matter of common knowledge and the signal that a whale is in the offing always leads to a thrilling race to the death between the launches. There have been incidents so reckless that the Marine Department has been compelled to take a hand. Two serious collisions between launches while struggling for the possession of a harpooned whale were the subject of the nautical inquiry. Mr. W. R. Riddell (Wellington) S.M., presided, with Captain Barron and Captain Dewhurst as assessors. After evidence had been taken the court reserved its decision.
