SEA ELEPHANT OIL
success OF n Yankees Attempt e.
Revive an Industry OK the
South Atlantic

In making the experiment OF DeTiF-
ing the industry Of hunting sea ele-
plants for their oil, Mr.. Richard 7.
Green, Of Boston, has met with remark
able success. The bark Swallow, Capt.
Cleveland, which sailed from Boston
on August % last, arrived at New Bed
ford a few days ago with 800 barrels
Of sea elephant Oh, valued at about
s25, 900. Most Of the oil VIII probably
be exported to France. Little atten-
ton has been paid to sea elephant
hunting Of late years, as the animals
had been almost exterminated by New
London whalemen, but when the
schooner arrived at New Bedford last
year with few barrels Of sea ele-
plant oil Mr.. Gren decided 10 try to re-
vive the industry
The cruise Of the Swallow was made
to KergueIen, better known as Desola-
ton island, IN the South Atlantic
ocean. Exactly 116 days out from BOs-
ton the Swallow dropped anchor in
Sprightly harbor, at the south side Of
Desolation island. The shores are
rocky and forbidding, and the atmos-
pheric conditions are Of the most
unpleasant character. The island Is
remarkable for the number Of sea
elephants found there. In appearance
they somewhatresemblef the seal. They
are never found in northern waters.
A characteristic Of these animals Is
their habit Of Bleaching themselves In
groups, 200 or more being often found
in what whalemen call a pod.
Immediately after dropping anchor
the crew Of the Swallow were ordered
TO begin what became a daily Occupa-
ton. This was to land on shore in
tenders and proceed to the pods Of
sea elephants, shooting them with
Winchester rifles or lancing them. The
animals do not exhibit very great dis
position to escape, and are, conse-
uuently, easily killed in abundance.
They are skinned on the spot, and
bIubber from one to three inches in
thickness is cut into chunks about two
feet square. The blubber Is then float
ed in the water to soak out the blood,
after which It rs taken to the ship,
where it is tried out, making a very
clear oil.
For Just three months the bark lay
at anchor. During that time enough
oil was taken to I'LL 1900 barrels, her
hold being completely filed, fore and
aft, and many barrels being slowed
on deck-N. Y. Sun
