 DINE ON WHALE

Los Angeles, Jan. S1-EVery time capt. John D. Loop, of the good ship Camiguin, kills 8 whale down goes the high cost of living,
 Six tons of whale tenderloin, a delicacy which has leaped into popu- lar'tY here in the past few weeks, was carved from the carcass of one giant leYiathan and palced on the markets of Long Beach and Los An geles a+ a nominal price.
 So cheap and so poDul@r have become whale steaks here that the high cost of meat has been dealt severe blow by the advent of the SC COW food.
 Although the public was some what backward about eating whale at first, the local markets sell close to ton a day of the meat at pres Nnt, while Los Angeles dealers are calling for more with each killing.
 In addition to the six tons of tenderloin each whale yields about ten tons of blubber that will be reduce@ to a lubricating oil of high grade.
 Capt. Loop sighted one big one ear,v +be other morning off Hart s point and pursued the leYiathan for nearly half a day before he could maneuver to within striking dis tance. It was three hours af- ter the first bomb exploded in the side of the leviatban before the sea monster gave up. The fight and chase took place in the chan ne! fifteen miles southeast of Long Beach.
 The whale, a California gray, was lazily riding the Bwells when first seen by the crew of the whaler Cam | !guin. On the approach of the launch, however, it started off down the coast with a speed calculated to indicate that it had 0 certain destination in view.
 The leYiathan slowed up a little, however, off Huntington Beach, aD the Camiguin, trailing close be i hind, let go with her forward gun This again spurred the whale into activity. The bomb had found its mark, however, and it was not long before Capt. Loop had all hands lpumpiDg bombs and harpoons into the monster from all points of his we'll equipped hunting craft.
