THE GEELONG ADVERTISER — DECEMBER 18, 1919
AN 18FT, SCALED MONSTER. ♢ (By a Special Representative.)
John Jordan, a big game hunter, and a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, has informed the “Daily Mail” that he encountered the Brontosaurus on the Magorie River, Lake Victoria, in 1907. It had a lion-like head, and walrus fangs, was 18ft. in length, was scaled, and had leopard-like spotting. He fired and the beast escaped. The natives were well acquainted with the animal, which they called bingoeck or noquta.
