Great Travelers.

William H. Dall, of the Smithsonian Institution, says in Science that “during the early days of the whale fishery several well-attested instances occurred of whales struck in one ocean, as the Altantic, being afterward killed in the North Pacific, and vice versa.” This would indicate that some whales are great travelers, for to get from the Atlantic to the North Pacific they W’ould have to go many thousands of miles, passing either around Cape Horn or around the northern end of North America and through Bering strait
