SEA MONSTER
BATTLING To
SCIENTISTS

CHERBoURG, France, March
HuNsJ-Nature and natural
ists today staged a battle, with
time as the referee, over the car
cass Of the "Sea monster" washed
up near here several days ago.
Discovered only Wednesday,
the body Of the creature already
was badly decomposed before sci
entiStS were able to begin their
game Of attempting to classify it.
So far they have failed. The
"Sea monster" defied claSSifica-
tion.
Natural processes, the pound
ing Of the waves, and the feed
ing of sea birds combined to
make the carcass disappear while
amateur naturaliStS attempted to
learn the salient facts about its
being. Time stood by, counting
the naturaliSts out.
Professor Corbiere, Of the Nat
Ural History Museum in Cher
hourg, saw the body in better
condition than any scientist. He
said:
'Tn its present state it is diff
ficuIt to estimate its approx
mate length alive, but it must
have been fully 125 feet long
IN life. 1 would say 1t was q
hyperOCedOn, . genus Of beaked
whales.
The crew Of . tug boat six
weeks ago reported sighting .
tremendous monster alive I'm
the English Channel, but no
on0 believed them. Possibly this
was the monster"
Other scientists the world over,
sitting in their studies viewing o
radioed photograph Of the crea.
ture, were baffled. It looked like
O dynosaur, but had no bones
and no legs. It had a neck
which whales do not have, and a
dorSal fin which seals do not
have.
