Theory Clashes
Despite the fact that Cliff agreed with Mallory’s theory, Allan was not convinced. During their travels, they had encountered a wide variety of species in a variety of environments. It wasn’t an unusual sighting, so they were perplexed as to why Allan was so adamant about not letting it go. A nagging feeling that something wasn’t quite right with the theory lingered with Allan. He didn’t believe it moved around like a seal, and after taking a closer look with binoculars, the other two agreed with him on this point.

Getting Up Close and Personal
The group was well aware that in order to have the best effective day possible, they needed to stay on task and complete the current work. They, on the other hand, found it difficult to ignore Allan’s discovery and found it difficult to concentrate on the chores of the day while the mystery remained unanswered. They realized they needed to get closer to the iceberg in order to figure out what it was. As they got closer to the iceberg, the wind picked up and the chill in the air became more noticeable. It was at this point that they saw the animal had fur on it. Fur that has been wet. When they saw the animal was dead and they realized they needed to find out what it was, it became necessary to postpone the remainder of their fishing excursion until the matter could be sorted.
