Mechanical trouble had forced the lug to quit a protest flotilla at muru Roa before France s first test occurred thursday. The Greenpeace is the successor to the Rainbow Warrior that was mined and sunk in auck land Harbor by French agents 15 Cocks ago. The vessel was travelling from French polynesia where it had been turned away by French authorities in Tahiti. It will undergo repair work to its generators before departing for Antarctica where the environmental group Hopes to establish the first non governmental scientific base. Meanwhile government official Geoffrey Paimer told reporters in the capital City of Wellington that the second blast had an estimated yield of 15 Kilotons or about three times the size of the first explosion. The second test was recorded at 5 35 . By the Rarotonga Cook islands monitoring station of the new zealand seismological Observatory. This second explosion in the series of French tests is As unacceptable to the new zealand government As the first said Palmer who noted he expects More tests in France s 10-year program lie ahead despite opposition by regional countries and inter National environmental groups. "7 he big pm contribution the French Gnu cram Cal could  to the Security of the Pacific would be to Stop testing Altos Thor he said. New zealand has said it will formally protest thu play s explosion which also Drew a  condemnation from Australia. The two coun tries arc tin major Powers in the Region.

Although the French May nol notice this when watching it the explosions on their to screens they should consider the Long term effects for the living things which inhabit the  wayward whale coaxed farther downstream Rio Vista Calif. A a Humpback whale thai has wandered for two weeks in the Freshwater byways of he Sacramento River swam upstream saturday before being turned Back by a Farmer banging a pipe in the water then resumed its course toward Salt water. The 45-ton whale nicknamed Humphrey bore a newly attached monitoring device to help scientists track its course toward san Francisco Bay. Late in the afternoon the whale passed under the Rio Vista drawbridge where it had hesitated for part of the Day. And continued Down Stream swimming another five Miles by dusk. A Day earlier it was persuaded to pass an Inland Bridge that had been blocking its Seaward movement then moved nearly 12 Miles downstream to come near the drawbridge by Nightfall when workers lost track of him. But by saturday morning Humphrey had slipped eight Miles Back upriver and was again at the Entrance to a Slough about 55 Miles Inland where he had languished behind the Bridge for five Days. Farmer Rcv Brownell who lives nearby went to the Bridge before Dawn and banged on a Home made pipe Gong to prevent the whale from getting trapped behind the Bridge s wooden pilings a second time said state sen. John Garamendi. The pipe banging which repels the whale was used Friday to Spur it past the Bridge. Or. Brownell has been a real Beautiful person to work with. He used the same kind of pipe that was used by the boats. He rigged it up in his own shop put it in the water and banged fisc hell Garamendi told reporters. He said the scientists weren t surprised that the whale went Back to shag Slough because that was where it had been spending nights. After the 40-fool-Long, bus sied whale returned to the main Channel and headed toward san Francisco Hay a Small Motorboat edged next to it and a scientist leaned out to stick a suction cup homing device on its skin. Similar beacons have been used to track whales in the wild. Later scientists said the device was not working and they said they planned to attach a More sophisticated device. The whale swam in leisurely circles meandering steadily to the Southeast and spouting occasionally. As the whale reached the Rio Vista draw Bridge a half mile wide Span Over the Sacramento River it hesitated in confusion passing underneath at least twice then quickly returning to the Northern Side of the Bridge before finally heading downstream biologists said. By Nightfall the whale was near Decker Island some 45 Miles Northeast of san Francisco Bay. Experts hoped to use military Landing Craft to Herd the whale into an Inlet called Horseshoe Bend for the night then continue coaxing the animal to the Bay through sunday. Sheridan Stone said scientists would place sonic barriers of underwater Chimes at key Points upriver to prevent the whale from again turning around. At one Point the whale beached itself for about 30 min utes on a Muddy Shoal about a mile North of Rio Vista. It wildly thrashed its Tail and flippers and spouted continually until it struggled free of the ooze. I feel sorry for him said Gloria Santos of Walnut Grove. He does t know they the scientists arc trying to help  Dick Brann a Solano county supervisors said the whale is a decided tourist  hundreds of onlookers lined both Banks of the River Many wearing to shirts that said. Humphrey vacationed in Rio  and i saw Humphrey at Rio  at one Point the  approached a group of Young sters standing on the Bank Anil the children shouted i Humphrey As the mammal drifted by. Humphrey became trapped in the River two weeks ago after making a wrong turn into san Francisco Bay on his migration South Down the Pacific  from Alaska to Mexico. On saturday scientists following the whale in two Moto ried Rubbi boats were initially silent As it took its own course South swimming in the deepest part of the wide River about Halfway Between Sacramento and san Francis co. After the radio was attached they resumed banging on pipes held in the water and using electronic fingers to keep the whale moving ahead of them downstream. As the Rio Vista drawbridge was opened to the South a ferry resumed service to the North to discourage the animal from reversing course. Whales need Salt water to thrive and biologists say the extended stay in fresh water has affected Humphrey s health irritating his eyes skin and respiratory system. After a period of leaving the whale alone expecting that he might find his own Way Back to the Pacific Ocean Marine biologists Ducci j to Lake drastic Steps to Case his Way Home with their noise makers.
