WHALING.
A SUCCESSFUL TRIP. Per Press Association. Invercargill, Last •', The Australian Whaling Company's \ fleet, under the management of Captain <; Egcness, which has been carrying on- £ operations in Foveanx Strait for the f past four months, with headquarters at Chalky Inlet, is now on its way to the j Australian coast. Mr. E. Wug, Nor- } wegian Vice-Consul, stated that despite •" the unfavorable weather which had pre•vailed almost continuously since the fleet ! started operations, they had captured* twenty fine whales, all of the sperrri variety. They had also obtained, about '.two weeks ago, a lump of ambergris ■•valued at £4OOO, and this, with the pro-* ducts of the whales treated by them since their arrival, would make the season a successful one financially. The fleet is at present making a prospectingvisit along the West Coast, and Will nf- t( tcrwards proceed to Jervois Bay, on the coast of New South Wales, "where headquarters will be established. The fleet will remain in Australian waters for four months, and future movements will 4■{ depend entirely on the' result of their 1 ;' season there. If successful they may i return to Foveaux Strait.
