LARGE TURTLE TAKEN
 FROM WATERS NEAR
 ID VANCOUVER ISLAND

Lots of queer fish swim in Alas kan and British Columbia waters, which are caught from time to time to excite comment, but not many people have heard of big turtles frequenting north Pacific waters. The following is taken from the Prince Rupert News
 .The Provincial museum at Vic toria received the shell of a huge 145O-pound leatharneck turtle to add to it's collection. Ca1lnery er1- ployeeS on the west coast of Van- couver Island had previously en- joyed a tasty meal on the meat of the surprising catch made by pill chard fishermen on the west coast of Vancouver Island this summer. The shell arrived at the museum recently as contribution from Captain Henry White of the Halda tribe of Indians, who incidentally was also responsible for securing for the museum the first specimen of Queen Charlotte caribou and the only one known.
 The turtle in the case was sight ed by the seiner Snow King, about eight miles off Nootka when the boat was cruising for pilchards. The Snow King bore down on the 1 turtle and few minutes later a shot or two from Captain Whites gun ended the wanderers career. The prize was taken to the Nootka salmon cannery, where it was found to weigh 1450 pounds, measuring nine and one-half feet across, and about a foot in thickness.
 Some of the meat was eaten by cannery employees, who found it tender and tasty. A case of canned turtle was also processed at the cannery, and the big shell was pre- served as a curiosity. So far as is known this is the first time a turtle has been sighted off British Co., lumbia and, incidentally the creat- ure's presence has added to local conjecture as to whether or not there is any relation between the occurrence of particularly large runs of pilchards in provincial wa
