Seal Fishery Aims to Survive Tough North Atlantic Run
Seals are scarce off Newfoundland as the Island Gem brings 2700 seals while nineteen steamers report meager yields. Ships Diana and Falcon at 8000 euch, Terra Nova and Iceland at 2000 each, Greenland 1500, Neptune 700, with several others faring little better. The outlook is the worst in sealing history as seals abandon ice and could not be killed in water. The season is far advanced, making average catch unlikely.
