I
Will someone go down to Harding
Entrance and tell the whales to find
some other playground or move up
the bay to near the dock, like four did
Sunday afternoon and await the arriv
al of a shipload of tourists!
The whales have been atrracted by j
the appearance of immense schools!
of ooligan and other small fishes
which, say the men who go down to
the sea in the little “put-put” boats,
extend for seven mill-s down the bay.
Crowded by the whales, the ooligan
have sought the creeks north of the
city, where one fisherman gathered
in 200 pounds of bait in a few hours.
During the day two whales paid a
visit to just opposite the dock and
furnished interest to many who hap
pened to be sight-seeing. Last Sun
day spectators on the dock witnessed
the rare spectacle of four whales
emerging simultaneously, their jaws
apparently touching, and with reso
nant snorts as they spouted lung
heated steam from their exhaust pipes.
Fishermen using drift nets are kept
on the alert to keep the great mam
mals from sweeping their nets away.
