A Sick Whale Furnishes a Lump W orth
918.000—A Mysterious Substance that
Sell* for S'JDO per Pound.
The weird yarns told by whalemen of
the tropics as to the origin of amber, says
the San Francisco (Jail, rank high among
the startling traditions of the forecastle.
The belief is held that amber is a petri
faction of some internal part of a whale,
and many stories are told of encountering
immense sea-monsters almost entirely
transformed into amber. The cold-blooded
lying of the able seaman is of course un
paralleled in all history, but his soul
atirring accounts of exploits with amber
whales probably have a little founda
tion in fact, which is enlarged and illu
minated by the sailor’s great imagina
tion. A substance called ambergris,
which has been known for about a cen
tury, is found at rare intervals floating on
the sea in the hottest latitudes and also
in the intestines of the spermaceti whale.
Its history has never been properly ex
plained. Various theories have been ad
vanced, but all specialists have contented
themselves with quoting some predeces
sor’s words concerning its origin and
composition, and to-day it affords
an ample fiehl for the scientific
enthusiast, as it is an extremelv
valuable commodity, and if the latest ap
pliances were brought to bear upon the
subject all unsettled questions undoubt
edly could be answered. It was at ilrst
supposed to Le of vegetable production for
the most part, and analogous to amber;
hence its name, amliergris, or gray am
ber. It is dark gray in color, and is
formed of concentric lavers. It feels like
hard rubber. The sailors found it in the
whale’s intestines near the stomach, and
developed the theory that it was a petri
faction, and that as a natural course of
events the whole whale might turn into a
substance. In a short time sailors were
multiplying who had seen amber whales!
spring of last year the Sea
Ranger, a w haling ship owned by F. H.
Bartlett & Sons, of Massachusetts, which
had sailed from New Bedford in June,
187!>, for a four years’ whaling voyage in
the South Atlantic, took a sperm" whale
while cruising to the south of St. Helena.
After the usual operation oi hooking,
hoisting, and cutting off the blubber and
bailing out the “case,” the most interest
ing part of the work was begun. At this
point all on board eagerly watched while
the long spade is pushed into the intes
tines in order to ascertain if there is any
amliergris in the stripped leviathan. In
the present instance the men were
awarded by tinding the finest specimen of
amliergris that has been captured during
the last ten years. It was about the size
and shape of a watermelon, weighed 70
pounds, and was worth $ 18,003.
The price of ambergris has been as high
as S2OO jier pound. The piece found bv
the Sea Ranger was regular in shape anil
of the best quality—compact and solid.
It was a very pleasant task for the Cap
tain to put the little SIB,OOO lump under
his arm and take it ashore and forward it
by a freight ship to the owners of his ves
sel, into whose hands it came on May 31
last, and was sold the same day to
Messrs Weeks & Potter, of Boston, "who
had received news by cable ot the great
“find.” Whenever a large piece of
the is found the
more prominent chemists and druggists
of the world are promptly notified—
such dealers as Lubiu A l’inaud of Paris,
the Atkinsons of London, Lanman A-
Kemp, and Schiffelin A Cos. of New York
and there is spirited competition for tbe
control of the market. The supply is ex
tremely small. There are about 175
whaling ships in the world; all are con
stantly looking for the precious sub
stance, and the entire amount taken by
all these ships (including the 140 Ameri
can whalers, the 25 ships that go to Baf
fin’s Bay from Dundee, and the few strag
glers from Norway and Sweden) is not
more than from 50 to 75 pounds j>er year.
This amount is exclusive of whatever
some firms may be lucky enough to secure
secretly.
It was used for many years in medi
cine, and is now prescribed in some parts
of France, but its great and important
present use is in the manufacture of per
fumes. It consists chiefly ot a peculiar
fatty matter, similar to "cholesterin, and
is readily dissolved in alcohol, ether, or
the volatile or fixed oils. The most widely
accepted supposition is that it is a hard
ened piece of biliary matter formed in the
stomach of a sick whale, and perhaps in
some other fishes also, for the sperm
whale is know n to feed upon cuttle-fish,
w hose tough, indestructible beaks are to
be found in the ambergris, a tact arguing
that the ambergris was a cause of
result of indigestion, and might occur in
the stomach or other extremely voracious
fishes that are known to devour at certain
periods anything they meet. They are
sick during the presence of their Jonuli
like visitors and get well again after the
visitors have taken their departure. The
Bartletts have beeu in the whaling
business for 40 years, and the specimen
here described is the first piece of amber
gris ever found by them, which will illus
trate the scarcity of the article. Not only
has the origin' of ambergris been en
shrouded in mystery, but there has been
a widespread disposition to count the dis
covery of a piece as a sign of good
luck aside from its commercial value.
The lucky star of the crew and ship was
ther in the ascendant. A romantic inter
est was maintained, and this may have
led to the stories of missing the capture
of fabulously valuable amber whales by a
hair’s breadth. During the last ten years
there have only been a few large pieces
found. A little schooner from Martha’s
Vineyard got a good-sized piece three
years ago, and a New Bedford whaler
found a piece weighing 150 pounds in
1882, but it was of poor quality. Many
adulterations are attempted. The spu
rious stuff, however, can readily be dis
tinguished from the genuine by standard
tests.
There are legends without number of
certain persons on board predicting that
ambergris would be found within a cer
tain time. One that is accredited is the
case of the wile of the Captain insisting
that a whale which had just been caught
should be searched for ambergris, al
though the stormy weather made it almost
absolutely necessary to drop the carcass
immediately after the blubber had been
removed. The woman “felt it in her
bones” that they would find ambergris,
and so they did—a tine little ball weigh
ing 150 pounds, which netted the ship an
even $37,000.
Ambergris is now found floating in the
water near Sumatra, Malacca and Mada
gascar, also along the American coast
and Brazil, China and Japan, and along
the west coast of Ireland. Experiments
are now being carried on in France with
a view oi definitely determining its com
position, and it is hinted that they may
result in the invention of a compound that
will to a certain extent take the place of
ambergris in the manufacture of perfum
eries.
In making perfumery there are two gen
eral classes; the animal odors, such as
those from the musk and civet; and the
vegetable odors, such as those from the
rose and cassia. In the case of the ani
mal odors they can be dissolved in alco
hol with the aid of heat and the odor is
taken up by the alcohol. With the vege
table, as for example the rose, alternate
layers of lard and roses are pressed, and
allowed to 6tand, when the lard will take
into itself the entire pertume of the roses,
and afterward the perfume can be trans
ferred toalcohol from the lard. When the
alcohol is thus saturated with the odor,
more alcohol is added until the mixture
is of required strength. Then the
ambergris is used. II the perfumed aloo.
hoi were used as a scent for the handker
chief, tbe spirits would evaporate, and
the odor would not remain. But the
ambergris is added, and acts as a base to
build upon. Like bodies of this kind
SSn”/ ,f ttl Blow and
possessing little volatility, when it is
mixed with fleeting scents it gives per
mfmhpr 6 r° tb n m " 11 4018 as an infinite
number of small reservoirs which prevent
the perfume from escaping fast. In con
jSequenceof this quality it is indispensa-
Die to the perfumer. It contains a sub
stance which clings pertinaciously to
woven fabrics. No ambergris has been
found, as lar as is generally known to per
fumery’ manufacturers, since the splendid
specimen spoken of above.
A FLORIDA CRACKER.
Telling About a runic He Had When
lake City nag Called Alligator—A
Novel Way of Fighting.
Corrt*)X}iuUn<:e Philadelphia Times.
“So you went to that thar ball out in
the kentry tother night, did yerf” said
the old cracker, as I stopped to chat with
him as he sat on the shady steps of the
village drug store. “Reckon you thsught
as how you was a havin’ a right smart
pertickfar good time outen hit, too. Wal,
ooys will be boys, an’ ole man Perkins
bez got some purty ban’sum gals out
thar. That Sal Perkins is about as lively
a young heifer as you'll find anywhar in
this here country. 1 knowed her mammy
an’ her gran’mammy afore her. Ef you
is a-thinkin’ about g'ittin’ merried,you go
fer Sal. She kin hoe cotton all day long
an’ ’long towards dark jump over a six
rail fence a-goin’ ter ther cow-pen. She’s
sound in wind an’ lim' an’ gentle as a
kittin, an’ the feller as gits her will git a
hundred head of cattle with her; fer
ole man Perkins runs six plows, an’
don’t never have ter use no longsweetnin’
in his ceffee.”
“We had a heap of fun, Uncle Billy,”
said I. There was a plenty of ice cream
and lemonade, plenty of pretty girls, good
music, and we danced all day.”
“Wat?” said the cracker, contempt
uously, “ice cream and lemonade an’
sich truck, an’ a band, too. Well, you
raout of had some fun, to be shore, but in
my days we didn’t hev no bands a
screechin’ all sorts of onlikely noises.”
“What did you do for music then to
dance by?” I inquired.
“Music? Why, every fellow in old
Uolumby county enamost could pick er
fiddle. You oughter seed lour or five
whoppin’ big fellers shuck thar coats an’
tune up thar fiddles an’ go ter work,
while four er five more was a pattin’ an’
a singin’. Them was dancin’ days, au’
the Fo’th was a big day in the piney
woods settlements.
“We didn’t know what ice cream was,
but we had hull beef critters roasted, an’
deer, an’ bar, an’ them that wanted water
could drink hit, but we alius had a bar’l
of whisky with the eend knocked in.
“Hit wan’t this pizen stuff you git now
adays, but good rep licker that wouldn’t
hurt nothin’.
“We useter hev lots of lun in thenulays
an* I’ve seed mor’u a dozen tights durin’
the day thar.
“Thar was my young brother Sam onct
—but sho’ you don’t keer to hear the ole
man talk, I know.”
“Yes, 1 do,” 1 replied eagerly. “What
did your brother Sam do? When was it
and where was it?”
By this time quite a little crowd had
gathered around the old fellow, and they
joined with me in importuning him for
the story. Finally he took a huge bite of
“nigner'twist” and started in.
“Hit war down at the place you call
Lake City now. He called hit Alligator.
The Injuibs give hit that name, kase there
was sich a heap on them pesky varmints
a stayin’ in them thar lakes.
“Hit war eenamost onpossible ter keep
any shoats whar they was. ’Gators is
got lots of sense. They useter make raids
on the pens whar the shoats was a fatten
ing all the time. Some of the planters
had gret big pens, but hit wan’t no use;
them ’gators would get together an’ take
nigh about every shout outen hit.
“I’ve knowed a half-dozen on ’em to
crawl outen the water an’ go up to one
of these here pens. Four ol the ’gators
would form a sorter lane, an’ tother two
would stand on their tails an’ lift the logs
off, an’ when the shoats run out the
tether four would kill ’em. They’d gen
erally manage ler to git a shoat apiece
an’ then they’d take ter the water an’
swim over ter a little clumpy islan’ an
hev a sorter picnic.
“But 1 war gwineter tell you about the
picnic wo had when Lake City war called
Alligator. Hit war about fiity year ago.
There was a right smart crowd of the
boys thar from all around the kentry fer
miles au* miles, an’ 'mongst ’em war me
an* my brother Sain, which was ten year
younger nor me, nut powerful built an’
hot afeard ol nothin’.
“Thar was lots of niggers thar, too, for
folks was mighty social in them days, an’
we all hed niggers fer ter wait on us.
“Thar was one big powerful buck nig
ger thar which was called ‘Black Alick.’
an’ he was a-cussin’, an’ a-l)lowin’, an’
he reckoned that he mout lick anybody
there was around them parts. Brother
Sam had a-been drinkiu’ right smart, too,
an’ he felt as peart an’ 6assy-like as the
nigger did. Finrally Black Alick
jumped on my brother Sam an’ throwed
him plum on his back an’ jumped on him,
but Sam he was an ole rough an’ tumbler,
an’ he locked both arms around the nig
ger an’ hilt him clus’-like so’s lie couldn’t
strike. He had a pair ot these here big
Mexican spurs on an’ he jess crost his
legs over the nigger an’ war a-jammin’
them spurs inter his flanks fer all he was
wutb.
“At the same time he was a chawin’ of
his face, an’ he had a right smart chance
of teeth in them days.
“The nigger tried his best ter turn him
over, but Sam never slacked his holt and
kep’ a-ebawin’ an’ a-spurrin’ all he could.
The nigger was game, ef he was a nigger,
an’ stood hit as long as he could, but arter
half liis nose was gone he sorter weaken
ed like, bein’ no hog, an’ hollered fer ter
take him off.
“But 1 seed that he was jess a-waitin’
fer a chance to best Sam, so I drawed my
kuife an’ ’lowed I'd be dog-goned if he
should git up yit.
“Then the boys wanted ter pull ’em
apart, an’ kinder made out that Sam
might get hurt an’ was willin’ ter let go.
1 jess shouted “No he don't! Let him be!
Don’t you see how Sam is a-lovin’ of him?
See how he’s a-huggin’ of him. Why,
he's a-lovin of him so that he’s jess a
eatin’ of him up.”
“Tbe boys they jess did laugh, an' finer
ly the nigger seed that we wasn’t gwine
ter help him outen his scrape, likewise he
got inter hit his ow’nself, an' he give a
desprit quick wrench an’ bruk loos. I
tell you he was a sight.
“Sam had marked him so’s he’d know
him ag’in an’ he didn’t stop ter say how
dy or good-by, but je9B put fer the woods
as fast as he could.
“Sam w'asn’t hurt at all, skasely; on’y
part on his nose was gone, an’ his left
eye looked sorter bad like whar the nig
ger hed tried to gouge it.
“Ole Deacon Miller said hit was jess
the most amuzenest fight he hed ever
seed, an’ he hed lit many a one when he
was a younker.
“By "the way, mentionin’ of the deacon
’minds me of "the joke he played on Jim
Simmons the next Fo’th July arter Sam
hed tbe tight with the nigger. Hit war
down to Gopher Lope, an’ hit was a boss
time, I tell you. Jim was a gret, tall,
ganglin’ cuss, a sort of desput man like,
and he kern in the grounds thar putty
full, fer he hed been a-drinkin’ right
smart with the Johnson boys, who kep’
store down by the river.
“Well, Jim" he was a-crowin’ an’ a cus
sin an’ a-makin’ out jess as ef he was a
spilin’ fer a fight, tirin’ off his pistol an’
skeerin, folks, ’spesh’ly the wimming an’
children.
“Deacon Miller was a-standin’ some
ways off, with his back turned, an’ Jim
’lowed ter himself that he’d have a right
smart ot fun outen him: so he run an’
jumped upon the deacon’s back, right
about on his wethers, an’ thar he clung,
a-screetchin' an’ a-whoopin’ like a Injun.
“The deacon, he was blamed taked mad,
but he didn’t say uuthin’, but he jess
reached around quick like an’ grabbed
Jim by the shanks an’ hilt on ’z ef he had
a mortgage on him drawin’ 2 per cent, a
month. About 25 yards from that, as
nigh as 1 kin remember, w r as jess about
the biggest brier bush 1 ever seed in all
my born days. Hit was the thorniest an’
the brienest, and the stickynist bush that
anybody ever seed. Dog my skin, ef the
deacon "didn’t trot up ter that tbur bush
an’ loosen his grip an’ dump Jim Sim
mons right fa’r an’ squar’ inter the mid
dle of hit.
“Hit took him nigh about ten minutes
to git outen hit, an’ he was the wust
scratched up cuss thar was in them parts.
The hull crowd jiss laughed and laughed
at him.”
“Well, didn’t he offer to fight?” said I.
“I should think he would have been mad
enough to shoot the deacon.”
“So he was,” was the reply, “but you
see the deacon had his’n already out, and
Jim knowed the crowd was agin him, fer
he had sorter commenced the fuss like, so
he jiss wiped the blood offen his face,
mounted his creeter an’ rid off.”
A New Umbrella Misery,
Progress.
The Chester Evening y ew3 tells of a
Media man who came’ to Fhiladelphia in
the morning accompanied by an umbrella,
and that when he got home in tbe even
ing he did not have the umbrella. This
would be a commonplace 6tory if there
was no more of it. But there is mere. In
the umbrella’s stead the Media man car
ried a parasol, and the Media man’s wife
discovered the exchange before he did. A
very entertaining situation! It was worse
than if he had had a long hair of the
wrong color upon his coat. That is a
suspicious circumstance, but it is still
capable of an explanation approaching
plausibility. The anecdote has its warn
ing; in fact, two or three of them. Of the
lot the reader can take his choice.
