I' The best man, Fleming's Tenor Martinelli The-stray whales that have been cavorting about in San Francisco Bay recently have aroused considerable interest" in these creatures of the sea and the following state ment hasten issued in the Hydro-graphicBulIetin by the government following outline of the history of the whaling industry was recently received from Com missioner Frank T. Bell, Bureau of Fisheries, Department of Commerce, Washington, D. and is published as of interest to mariners generally: The Basques developed the first important shore whaling industry as early as the 12th century, By the end of the 16th century they had extended their operations to iceiana, and Labra dor. Shortly thereafter whaling vessels of other nations became prominently identified with the in dustry Holland, England.

Ger many, Denmark and Norway. At the beginning of the 18th cen fury the New England colonists had begun fishing in the open sea for the sperm whale. The peak of the world fishery in the 19th century was reacned about 1840, when more than 800 vessels were engaged Jn whaling, about 600 of which were American. By 1848 whalers of the United States numbered 73k em ploying about 40,000 persons in all branches of the industry, with an annual catch worth about $8,000,000. marxea aecune was noted as early as 1860.

It was due to two reasons: First, the result of an in tensive fishery, causing a depletion in the supply, necessitating longer ana more costly voyages with consequent rise in the price of the product, which led to an active search for substitutes; and secondly. the advent of petroleum products and decreasing profits from the whale fishery. MODERN WHALING Today's whaling fleet, accredited to the United States, numbers 3 factory ships. 2 shore stations, and 31 killer boats, with value of the products brought in by the four companies controlling the fleet esti mated as approximately 3VA per cent oi that produced by the 733 United States whaling vessels of the 1840 and indicates, a return on capital investment comparable to those days. That this is possible is due to 20th century progress, the machine age, which bespeaks re duced man-power, new methods of speed-up production, and more di versified fields of commerce.

Na ture has not been able to keep abreast of the pace set by the whal ing industry, and species after pedes has gradually become more and more depleted. So desperate did the situation become that, the League of Nations appointed a com- lttee to make a study of the mat ter, and the 'outgrowth of its find- gs was the promulgation in 1931 of a Convention for the Regulation of Whaling by 26 powers, including the United States, which provides for the protection of certain species of whales, immature whales, the operation of factories, the employ ment of gunners and crews, the filing of reports, etc. Our Whaling Treaty Act of May 1, 1938, was enacted to give the Convention, effect, and, among other things, it provides for the assistance of the Navy De partment, upon request, in cooperation with the Treasury Department, the enforcement of the act. On June 8, 1937, another international whaling agreement was formulated London to supplement and ex tend the Geneva convention. There were nine signatory powers to this greement, which is not yet in ef fect This agreement provides, among other things, lor closed areas, size limits on certain species of whales, and prevents the killing of gray whales for commercial purposes.

THREE ERAS The history of the whale fishery may be divided into three distinct eras. In the first, s.mall boats were used and harpoons "were thrown by and; the second, beginning about 1868, was marked by the invention the harpoon gun and the use of steam vessels capable of going to killing whales, and towing them to shore stations; and the third, or modern, era, is that of the factory ship on which whales taken by smaller "catchers" are processed at sea. The harpoon marker, a still later development not properly classified as representative of an other era, has given to science the first authoritative source of. information on the migration of whales. It has been said that one whale yields as much meat as a herd of 100 cattle.

Certain it is that hun- dredsvflf tons of whale meat are sold the markets of Japan, to people too poor to buy beef. A blue whale from which only the best of the blubber was stripped, as was in the early days of whaling in the sub-Antarctic, was said to yield our, whalers a return of $40 or $50, while in Japan, where-the byproducts are highly utilized, a specimen of equal size has avalue of $4000. I I. II lllH I tarv miids Earliest Models to Be Shown in London; New Guinea Exploration The centenary of transatlantic steam navigation will be marked in London by the opening of an exhibition March 16, according' to John L. Dowrick, manager of the American Express Travel- Service-who reports that British, Canadian French, German, Italian and Swedish transatlantic lines will take part in it The first crossing of the Atlantic by steam was made by the Siriua in the Spring of 1838, the voyage taking 18 days.

A model of this vessel will be displayed with many others, including one of the Great Eastern, the leviathan of the 19th century. In contrast to the comforts and lux uries offered transatlantic travelers today, this ship was designed to accommodate almost twice as many people as modern superhners do, and yet was less than a quarter their tonnage.

Eastern Buffalo .01. Charleston Cincinnati .02. Knoxvill Pittsburg Quebec T. 1 During N. Y'Aida' Performance But Bill Only Get'Kick as His Reward By FRANK KESTER These whales wot are comin' inter th' bay give me a growled Soapy Rogers as he and Panama Murphy and Bill the Steve dore, stood on the bulkhead of the Municipal Terminal waiting for the freighter on which they were to work to come in through the fog.

Wots th' matter wit' 'em? asked Bill. Yeh, it gives a touch of interest to th' bay," responded Panama. Tha caus you swabs am mar ried an' has to answer th' fool questions of a nervous wife an' two, kids wot are in school, grumbled Soapy. "Every time th' wife wants ter go to Frisco she makec'me assure her they won't any danger of one of th' whales hittin th ferry boat when it comes up to blow. An' th' kids keeps me busy answenn' fool ques tions about whales.

It's drivin' nuts. "Don't see how that can be when you're already there?" grinned Bill "Well, yer so danged smart, I wish't yuh had to answer some of th questions. "An' I'm jist th' lad wot could do it," responded Bill. "It was cause I know'd so much 'bout whales that I made a pot o' j.ackpnc't." "ttow'come, Panama "Well, it was when I was on th' ol' schooner Taurus an' we was in northern waters, offn vth'. coast of Siberia.

As ye know th' fog gits pretty thick up there some times. An' th' Taurus got caught in one of them pea soup blankets. We was in a bad situation, too, fer they was rocks all about In that fog we couldn see more'n ten feet ahead of th' bow. Th' Ol' Man, was worried fer he had to git outa them waters er else th' Ruskies 'ud grab th boat an' all of us. We heard a Russian patrol boat blowin' its fog horn not far off an' if th' og lifted an' showed us to 'em we 'ud be gone goslin fer fair.

While th Skipper was moanin about his hard luck an' wonderin' now io gci out we bus a awiui scare. Alongside th' ship somethln' big an' black looms up outa th' sea wit' a terrific roar. At first we thinks it is a Russian submarine. Then, when spray o' water hits th' deck I knows Instantly it was a whale, Lookin' over the side I sees th' critter lyin' there an' rubbin' th' hflrnnrlpit nffn him on th' siHp of th' Taurus. That gives me a idea.

I knew that whale was goin' to git us outa there. I yells fer a rope an' a bucket o' sardines wot we had been usin' as bait. When I gits th' rope loops it, cowboy style, over th' whales head very gently so's not to scare him. Then I makes th' other end fast to th' twin bits forrard on th' schooner. Now give me them sardines," I says'.

"This whale has more draft th' Taurus an' when he gits under way he'll tow us right inter th' open sea. I knew sardines was th' favorite food 6' whales an' rie'd go fer these I had 'cause they was big ones. Well, I tosses a handful just ahead of th' whale's nose. He takes a sniff an' then wit' a big smile on his face gobbles them up. Wit that I throws another handful farther ahead.

Then th whale had to tighten up on th' tow rope. But he was so eager to git th' fish he didn't notice th' extra pull. An' in that way, me tossm sardines jist ahead of th' whales nose an' him tuggin' after 'em, he yanked th' ol' Taurus right outa those rocks an' inter th' open sea. After we gits inter th' ooen I begin's havin' fun wit' him, I'd toss th' sardines way up in th' air an' make him jump outa th' water fer 'em like a trained seal. An' believe me er not, that bloomin' whale seemed to git as much of a kick out of it as I Pretty soon he gits faster than me an' would turn around an', open his mouth wide so I could toss th' sardines down his throat But th' ol Man didn't appreciate wot had hap pened.

He raised an awful row cause everv time th whale would jump up in th' atr an' then come down it would send a wave o' water over th' Taurus wot almost washed everything overboard. So I tosses over all th rest of th' sardines an walks back to th' stern in disgust cause th' skipper showed no ap preciation." Where did yer fortune come in? asked Soapy. "Well, that was funny. After I walked aft an' quit tossin' sardines th' bloomin' whale swims back an' begs for mbre. Then when I held up my hands to show th' fish was all gone that crazy whale mikes a dive an' comes up wit' a piece of amber-grease wot he tosses onter th' deck.

Well, I thinks, that deserves another bucket o' sardines. An' while I was goin' after 'em th' Skipper picks up th' ambergrease. Another swab cuts th! towin' line an' lets th' whale loose. Any way I tosses him th' sardines an' after gulpin' 'em down he swims away. Then th' fog clears up an' there is in Kussian lookin' fer us.

But by that time we is outa their waters an they can't do nuthin'. An' when I argues wit' th' Ol' Man that th' ambergrease was mine he gives me a kick in th' pants an' walks inter his cabin. But at least had a fortune fer a little while. An' I sure got even later, too." Just then a whistle sounded through the fog and the freighter the stevedores were waiting for broke through the gray curtain. All hands were so busy the next few hours that- they forgot all about getting the rest of Bill's story.

Was. Slaying Not Linked To His Troupe, Says Former Magician Reports from Australia that thy young woman victim of a baffling murder of four years ago had been identified as Nancy Lingg, former member of a magician's troupe, were called erroneous yesterday by Law rejice Carter, who, as "Carter the Great," toured Australia end New Zealand in 1933 and 1934. Carter, now living in San Fran cisco at 801 Camino Del Mar, said that two young women of somewhat similar names had worked in his company recently. "Nancy Lingg, a young Swiss girl was on the Australian tour with me," Carter said, "but she did not leave the company until we reached Calcutta. She is now married to an Englishman named Munson, an official of the N.

P. R. Railroad, and is living near Calcutta. I had card from her at' Christmas time, and know she is alive and happy. "By a coincidence, I later had another girl with me, named Martha Lang, a similarity of names sufficient to be ronfuslng, but she was not on the Australian tour.

It was learned that Martha Lang, now Mrs. Howard B. Gilbertson, moved recently from 1108 Bush Street, San Francisco, to Inglewood The Australian reports followed statements to authorities there by Charles Lynch, a traveling show man, that the woman in the mystery murder looked like Nancy Lingg, or Lang. The murder, since the finding of the partially burned body of a young girl in a roadside culvert in September, 1934, has been-under investigation in Australia ever since.
