...captain got in touch with a woman naturalist attached to a Cape Province museum, and she in turn summoned Dr. J. L. B. Smith from Rhodes University College in Grahamstown. By the time he arrived, a taxidermist had skinned and mounted the creature, throwing away the carcass (which was rotting) but keeping the skull. Dr. Smith pronounced it "sensational." Photographs were sent to London, where Geologist Errol Ivor White of the British Museum called the find "one of the most amazing events in the realm of Natural History in the 20th Century...
...Norwegian whalers, Norsk Telefunken Radioaktieselskap last week turned up a neat new wrinkle: a battery-powered radio transmitter sealed in a steel drum attached to a lance which is hooked to the floating carcass after a whale has been killed by harpooners in small boats. It will broadcast on the 600-to-800-metre band an automatically recurring signal so that a mother ship with a direction-finding receiver can track down and recover the catch. Since few household radio receivers tune much higher than 560 metres, the chances of an ordinary radio listener tuning in a dead whale will...

...last week two Harvard students, Oliver Brooks and Douglas H. Robinson, appeared at Cambridge's City Hall, lugging between them the fresh carcass of a seal. They said they had shot the seal in Marblehead Harbor, demanded $2 for killing it from the City Treasurer. When Treasurer William J. Shea wanted to know what it was all about, the students referred him to an old Massachusetts statute, passed in 1888. Treasurer Shea spent an hour hunting up the statute, found it, paid the $2. He also learned that the law required him to cut off and burn the seal...
After Valentine's Brook, Royal Danieli, an Irish horse, swept past Battleship, and Sir Alexander Maguire's Workman came from behind. As attendants were loading the carcass of Rock Lad upon an ambulance, Royal Danieli, Battleship and Workman thundered over the last jump. Cooleen and Delachance were fourth and fifth, Blue Shirt far behind in seventh place. Nose and nose Royal Danieli and Battleship raced toward the finish...
