E.M. Brock 1958 Aug 16 White Whale Wainwright, Alaska at about 1600 when I was returning from a walk, I reached the village just as everyone was running about shouting 'beluga, beluga'. About a 1/4 mile from shore a large school of white whales were swimming by, jumping out of the water like porpoises, all heading west. Two osiaks immediately took off in pursuit with guns and harpoons. An hour later they returned having gotten two - one a very young individual. The animals were rapidly processed and the meat divided. After eating some raw 'muktuk', I asked for the skull of the two individuals, and the eskimos, being extremely friendly, gave me both skulls [illegible]. The larger individual may have been a female because of the natives started talking to me and stated as a fact that the milk of a beluga is dark green. He also stated that the young were born in the latter part of April and early May. The skulls are accessioned as #1319 and #1320. Usually they keep the skull and let the lower jaw sit in the sun to extract the oil. This is a good gun lubricant according to
