First Complete Cast of a Whale E.

phur bottom type, but owing to TIE
fact that the whales came in unusually
early last season. the companys men
were very busy handling them and
could not take the time to give us the
assistance we needed.
Where, in ordinary seasons, they
would get an average of one whale a
day they were bringing in two or three
when we were there, and they had to
work hard from o'clock in the morn
ing until at night. Finally. about the
middle of June, there came a Iull, and
the men caught Up with their work
Then we had good luck, for after a few
days without a whale, in came this
7S-foot bull blue whale
That was cur chance, and we made
the best of it, he was hauled out OF
the water, tail foremost, upon an in
cIined plane by means of a steam winch
We got him out at high water, and
then, as the tide went out, we worked
as hard as We could TO complete our
castings before the tide came in again
We began work about noon, and did
not finish until ten o'clock at night.
I'VE had brought our plaster down
from ST. Johns in barrels, and while
some of the men assisted Mr.. Palmer
in laying on the plaster others mixed It
up from the barrels We used about
twenty-five barrels.
Whales are dragged out tail fore
most because the weight of the head is
so great that it twists the body out of
The Washington times., 1904-03-13

shape if it is brought out of the water
first. Our whale lay on his side, and
we made our cast in sections. We had
to be quick about this, because whales
decompose very rapidly, owing to the
immense amount of gas which forms
from the great heat inside them.
I'VE worked upon the body entirely,
because the head. the tail and the fms
were to be cut of and done at our
leisure. since they keep longer than the
other parts. Before we got through we
had about forty sections of the casting,
all accurately done.
Another very interesting part of our
work was taking castings of the
whales stomach. The stomach of a
whale is very soft, and as soon as he is
brought out of the water it fiattens
and loses its shape very rapidly 1t is
also covered with ridges, running
lengthwise from under the jaw to the
tail
We made a cast of the section of stom-
ach under the jaw and another from
a section under the tail. We then
counted the ridges and accurately meas
ured the whole stomach, so that we
could make an exact reproduction by
means of the casts of the two ends and
the measurements of the part that lay
between.
''As I said. we worked very rapidly,
first because OF the short time in which
decomposition sets in, second. because
a whale is not easily turned over with
