The aftermath of the beaching REPORT OF AN INQUIRY

By Sunday evening a jolly ‘Whisky Galore!’
story was the theme of further reporting of
local salving, but it was that reporting that
triggered a much more mendacious,
national, and ultimately frightening interest
in the prospect of illegal profit from the
incident by Monday. Even the BBC reported
a ‘new‘ kind of beachcombing. Exactly
when someone first broke into a closed
container is not clear, but that is obviously
when the beach became a ‘crime scene’, 28
day rule or not.
