Capture of a Whale Near St Margarets Hope Orkney
A large baleen whale, sixty eight feet long, was killed near St Margarets Hope Orkney on the morning of July 29 by two locals, Eniee Wildridge and fish-curer John Sutherland. After a perilous chase by small boat and repeated lancing, a lines-and-anchor method secured the animal, which lived thirteen to fourteen hours after first wound.
