Mr. FRANK MoRLEY, ' How a Whale is Caught '

on 2LO London

View in Radio Times

SINCE we all began reading ' Moby Dick ' again, the epic grandeur of the whaler is no longer a secret to us. Even in these days of steamships and up-to-date harpoons, whaling is still a stern and thrilling business, and a trip in a whaler would bo adventure enough to satisfy most of us. Mr. Frank Morley (who is an American who came here as a Rhodes Scholar and has stayed as a writer and editor) took such a trip in a Shetland whaler not long ago, and described his experiences in his contribution to that interesting book, ' Whaling North and South.' In this evening's talk he will describo how the biggest creature on tho face of the earth is caught.
