JONAH CHEATS WHALE
MONTEREY, Calif., UR — This
could have been a modern ver
sion of Jonah and the whale —
1 with a sadder ending. But skin
j diver John E. Fletcher is happy
to report it isn’t.
The 41-year-old San Leandro,
Calif., diver stared into the cav
ernous jaws of a 30-foot killer
whale or white shark yesterday
after it had sent him spinning.
Scared, but unhurt, he
scrambled into a boat to join
three companions. They had heard
the warning shouts from a crowd
on the beach, and had climbed
into their boat seconds before.

Domesticated Musk |
Ox Herd to be
Studied in Alaska
ANCHORAGE, UPV—'The world’s
only domesticated musk ox herd
is going to be brought to Alaska
for scientific studies which, if
successful, may result in an in
teresting new industry for ranch
ers in the far north.
John J. Teal, Jr., famous Arctic
authority, will bring his pilot
herd from Vermont and will es
tablish a breeding farm at the
University of Alaska.
Teal left Alaska last week after
making arrangements for the
transfer.
The musk ox is valuable for its
fleece, known as qiviut, which
Teal says is softer than cashmere.
The fibers are longer than those
of cashmere and more slender.
Textile manufacturers, Teal said,
are ready to purchase the wool
for use in making clothing.
Teal is expected to bring his
herd to Alaska sometime next
summer. He has five musk ox now
and expects two calves to be
bom this winter. The animals are
so rare that he says he has been
offered as much as $30,000 for one'
by a zoo.
At the 'University of Alaska,
Teal will continue his scientific
work in three fields. Besides the
study of the animal itself, the
work will include studies of
range and management prob
lems, and building up the breed
ing herd for distribution to musk
ox rachers in Alaska.
“Interior Alaska is a natural
range for them,” he said. “Prior
to 1860 musk ox herds were com
mon throughout Alaska. They
roamed the interior like Buffalo
in the old days of the west. Like
the buffalo they were killed and
eaten when man introduced guns
into Alaska.”
Teal is the only man who has
gone into the wilds of northern
Canada and captured the animals
alive.
