Old Salis Scoff at Airplane Seal Herds Plan
In St John s Newfoundland seasoned sealers mock the idea of locating seal herds by air. Aviators claim to spot main herds up to 200 miles away but hunters dismiss the notion. The airmen offered information for 40000 to governments and ship owners, who declined. By season end, the fleet dispersed and buyers offered 10 cents a seal, a price too late to test the theory amid declining harvests and market shifts.
