We began to make better progress to the south-westward and worked into a series of open leads. We came across our first emperor penguin, a young one, and two sea-leopards, besides crab-eater seals, many penguins, some giant petrels, and a Wilson petrel.
This island is inhabited only by penguins, sea-leopards, pintadors, and various kinds of petrels.
This is the first of its kind that we have seen since January last, and it may mean a lot. It may signify that there is land somewhere near us, or else that great leads are opening up, but it is impossible to form more than a mere conjecture at present." No skuas, Antarctic petrels, or sea-leopards were seen during our two months' stay at Ocean Camp.
Another class of frivoller gets his opportunity because it is customary to give various species of seals divers species, one might say inappropriate names. He tells you that if you look for sea-lions and sea-leopards, you will not see lions, nor even see leopards, but seal-lions and seal-leopards, which are very different.
Two sperm and two large blue whales were sighted, the first we had seen for 260 miles. We saw also petrels, numerous adelies, emperors, crab- eaters, and sea-leopards.
"We'll have to be careful and not get snarled up with any sea-leopards," said Harry, who had been examining the dead animal. "Look at the monster's tusks." "Yes, he could make a fine meal off any of you boys," remarked the professor. Suddenly he fell on his knees beside the sea-leopard and began examining it carefully. "What in the world are you doing, now?" asked Frank.
