H... t-ncr of one of the largest

my -t-eiit tour of Norway. is rilllitl report came In from one of ms uhziliiit: ships that a whale had been Ilili'l)U(iil8(i, and would be tirotiglii in about 4 a. m. The main purpose of my trip was to get first hand information on how the whale meat was handled in Norway. and gs there were only three days left at October and the whaling sea-

'..,,, my the year. i was very pleas-

ed to hear this report. and that

i would have an opportunity to

liaicii the whole operation the fol-

iotu-ig morning.

vtthiiling ships must report their catch at once and deliver the ithiilcs to the Land Stations within inc-iii) four hours after they are caught About twenty per cent of the meat is used for human con- mmpiilln. and the Meat Inspecto . who IS always present when a tihalc is bring processed. will re- )t'll .iiiy whale brought in alter the itteiiiy four hour time limit. The condemned whales are pro- cessed for oil and fertilizer. which l't'SilIlS in a great loss to the owner and a much smaller bonus tor the ships crew. To protect the iiiiolc against total extermination. ii is .'il.',t'IlllSL the law to shoot a cow Mill nursing calf. also whales un- der 8 certain length. Fin whales, ior instance. must not be less than Illl)' frrl in length. These. and othct rules set by the International Wtiziliiiu Commission are followed itricily. and any breach results in hoary fines and eventual loss of license if repeated.

"it was shortly before 4 a. in. uhen the whaling ship docked. a pnwrrltil llllI(' ship with a 1300 hni-sis power engine. which enables it to travel as fast as the speedy UIIIP or Finwhale going' at top ipeert The land crew immediate- lr its-tit to work attaching a cable around the whale's tail. and i uinch hauled the 55 foot fin- uliaie tip the runway to the cut- ting room. The fiensers. armed Mill large knives shaped like and lIJOllL the size of a hockey stick. started cutting away the blubber near the whale's mouth. This blub- bcr or about a foot thick layer of lat itliich encases the whales vhoir body and acts as insulation Alialflsl the cold arctic water. lies directly underneath the whale's thin skin. When a part of the hliilihcr is cut loose a hole is cut Illl'il. and a looped, cable pushed iliru Ihc hole.

From then on the winch keeps steady pull on the cable as the lit-nsing knives slash hack and forth. peeling off the hliiltlicr.

'.-iltrr the blubber is removed from one side of the whale. the meat is cut into large chunks and transported to the packing room, WllPrv the meat to be used for liuman .onsumption is cut off the thunk.-. and the rest packed for inimal food. Before packing the meat Into the containers it is plac- ed. on wire racks to drain off. For this reason there is very little excess moisture when this meat is tlelrostntt.
