  Neutral hydrogen (HI) has been detected in the Local Group dwarf spheroidal
galaxy Sculptor with the 64 m Parkes single dish and mapped with the Australia
Telescope synthesis array. Most of the detected HI is in two clouds \sim
15'-20' away from the optical center. The gas is observed at the same systemic
velocity than the stars but at \ge 125 \kms away from the Magellanic Stream
components in that region. A lower limit to the HI mass of 3.0 \times 10^4
\Msol is derived from the synthesis observation for an M_HI/L_B \simeq 0.02.
This amount of HI is compatible with mass loss expected from normal giants even
if only 10% of the gas is retained by the galaxy in its neutral form.
