A large piece of ambergris, highly
valued in perfumery, was found yes
terday on the buff beach by Pilot
Lars Anderson. While the pilot knew
that his find was valuable one. he
had little idea that the four and one-
half pound piece which he picked up
was worth more than S1,700, but such
it is, as it sells for something like
S24 an ounce.
Pilot Anderson was walking along
the beach close to the waters edge,
when he noticed the strange sub
and picked 1t up. At first he
was puzzled as to what he really held,
but closer examination showed that
he had found an exceptionally large
piece of ambergris, and that it had
probably been washed up during the
recent heavy seas from the southwest.
He brought 1t to the city with him
and last night it was weighed at a
drug store and tipped the scales at
4 1-2 pounds.
The substance is of the consistence
of wax and comes from the sperm
whale. Usually it is found floating
about in the Indian: ocean and other
parts of the tropics, and it is believed
that it was brought into the gulf by
the tides and finally landed on the
shores of Santa Rosa Island.
