From Steve Schultz's "World Maritime News" of August 29th, 1997,
distributed every Friday evening on Internet, we are given a
possible explaination of these mysterious occurrances.
"Some 300 whales beach themselves on the
Falklands/Malvinas".
"At least 300 pilot whales have beached themselves
in the Falkland/Malvinas Islands, it was reported 28
August, 1997. On one beach, at least 197 whales were
dead or dying. Speculation is that the whales lost
their direction due to a magnetic storm." |

On Monday the 1st June, at the Neptune Inn, lower town, for the
benefit of the underwriters and others interested, at twelve
o'clock precisely:
The fine copper fastened new ship Three Brothers, burthen per
register, 340 5/94 tons, launched in the River Tyne in April 1811,
with all her masts, sails, rigging and stores, as hereafter will be
specified in an inventory. The said ship was lately stranded in
the river St. Charles, and is now shored up in the Cul-de-Sac ready
to undergo the necessary repairs, having the keel out, and ceiling
ripped up, all new caulking to the light marks, the ropes are
patent laid and of the best quality of materials, from the lanyards
upwards, the rigging thoroughly overhauled and served afresh during
the winter, and may be inspected any time previous to the sale, by
applying to the master on board, or to the broker. |
