After a sharp radiogram from Brien McMahon, criminal division chief in the Attorney General's Office, Judge Thomas snorted that a subpoena was unnecessary, promised to debark in the Canal Zone and return immediately if necessity demanded.

...Mystified, passengers watched 99 of the 206 crew, mostly Chinese, their belongings on their backs, shuffle off the ship, followed by manicurist, barber and orchestra.

Episodes in the seal-hunt have that intimate realism which the cinema alone can give such a subject. The Viking grinds through ice sometimes so thick that it has to be dynamited. When a radio report reveals a seal herd 20 miles away, the swilers debark and scramble over 20 miles of broken ice to find them. The hunt itself ?the men deploying to stalk the seals, killing them with shotguns?is ably but too briefly photographed. Tragic is the situation of one squeaking white baby seal, stuck to a lump of ice; when his mother pauses to nose...
