tender and gentle, perhaps because he

was powerful. And the soft word which

to soothe a sufferer, sire often needed in
the whale fisheries.

among them when tlm fragile shell was
to l>e laid broadside to a monster nearly
aa boat long as the ship. Ouee when the
was stove in by a sweep of the awful
flukes in the death-flurry, one of the
boys was crushed by the blow and driven
senseless under the water. When Chips
came to the surface he counted the heads
and misled one, and down i« the bloody
lwtne he wont among the sltsrks and
fished tip the sinking body. He was a
mighty swimmer, and, with only an oar
to cling to, he held the senseless man out
of water from noun till sunset.
But, to the story; The Gazelle had
been cruising for three months a few
hundred miles off the coast of Western
Australia—the great penal colony of Eng¬
land.....and during that time had not
fallen in with a single sperm whale.
One raw afternoon, with a harsh
breeze and a rising sen, at. last we heard
the lor ig sing-song cry, from the mast
head, " He blows! thcr re -blo-o-wn"’
Four times, at regular intervals of about
then forty seconds, the cry w repeated; and
he knew it was a sperm whale.
It was about, 5 o'clock in th* evening
when the first cry was heard, and the
sun went down at 6:30, with scarcely five
minutes of twilight. As a rule, on board
of American whalers, when whales are
Keen late in tho evening, t he boats are
not sent down, unless circumstances,
stick as weather, moonlight, and so on,
art very favorable. In most cases the
course of the whales and tho speed of
their travel are carefnllv noted. When
r.n s course „ a school v . of . sperm whales ,,
will move at the rate of about six miles
m. hour; when "feeding they keep on
Inc same ‘ground not moving

i.his course was not followed on the
evening in question. It was nota school
we sm, but a " lone whale,” and one of
extraordinatr size. The night promWd
to be a rough one, and the whale’s mo
fi..ns haa lost were himself strangely in unknown irregular, as if he
an sea.
There is something solemn and mys
tcrioiff? and marvelous in the sight of "lone whale’s.”
whalemen superstitions arc current
among Though spending respecting after them,
year year on the
great waters, whalers become more un

other seamen, and long observation of

Boon after tlie cry from aloft, we saw the ]
whale from the deck, only a abort- dia- !
taiuv from the ship, and we might have
seen him long before had not his white,
bush-like spout been lost in the angry
whiteness that was fast spreading over j !
the sea.

The? two other officers were younger -I
Jn «i, and of foe sam« mind. There'
was no time lost, in further consultation. :
“Bwfog the boats!*’ shouted Um “old!
man.”
The lines*and irons had already been
thrown in by the ere-ws. A “heave, oh:”
at, d a tdraleiug sound, and in one min
utc tho four boots struck the water, and
.the men were settled on foe thwarts with
tlio long oars out.
The sun was low and large and red,
and the whole western sea and sky were
maguifioent- in crimson and gold and
block. The picture was one at the finest
I ever saw. The rising sea was jet black,
except wliere if was' blood?; a broad
road of crimson shfoamm-.d from the
ship to the sun; the long IxkIv of tlie
whale, even blacker than the sen, was
plainly seen in the ruddy glare; and life
was added to the iiuiuenae wcone by the
four white sjH-cks—tho whaleboats—
motiofoesa doting to a point os they J drew near the
monster.

But foe rnen were excited, and refused to

could no longer see the boats from the

One of tins men from the boat relieved

I said he was growing as superstitions

*-r can ’t help it. It did seem that I
heard that whisivr, and so the plain wheel was it
that I nearly ’ dropped in

Another shout from tho sea cut ofl

the whaleman cried back

Soon after, as the gale was moderating,
