Marvel of the sea seventy miles of victims

On the shores of Walfish Bay in South-West Africa a vast strand of dead fish extends for miles. November and December bring this annual spectacle, with stretches sometimes thirty to seventy miles long and fish piled two deep along the coast. Causes remain uncertain though ideas include submarine volcanic gases or other cataclysmic events, while a nearby incident saw false killer whales perish in Kommelle Bay. Also notes on new multi blade propellers for quieter planes and an advertisement for Great Peppermint Cure for children's healing cough.
