Whole Hunt in San Francisco Bay

Creature Spouts Near Tug in Middle of Bay San Francisco, Feb, 6.

Ordering all hands to shoot at sight, Coast Guard boats in San Francisco Bay to-day opened a hunt for a 60-foot giant gray whale which has been trapped in the Bay for three days.

The whale recently arose and spouted near a tug boat in the middle of the Bay.

Describing the incident, the master of the tug. Capt. Frank Loivera, said, "It came up like the bottom of the Bay. One of my men yelled. 'That' she blows" She blew all right—just like a geyser.—United Press.
