flentle. If not timid, and comparatively
defenaelesa, It is not fitted to fight the
battle of life In region* where foee are
numerous and the lord of creation cea
put forth all hla power Numbers are
killed annually by the Aleuts and Ee- i
qullnaux and llielr tusks sold to the *
captains of whalers, who pay for them
hi good* and provlaiona. A tusk Is
wortli all the way from 110 to A’»U In
American and European mark eta, but
the man who first secures it does not,
In all probability, gut «A for the finest j
spe cim en*.
Most of the narwhal Ivory found la
the markets of the Atlantic states is
Imported from Denmark, f x>p«uh*gen
being the principal shipping point.
An adult narwhal ranges from t<*ri to
sixteen feet In length. Is blackish In
hue, and has the caudal fin and much
the form of the white whale. It is In¬
clined to become mottled or whitish *a
It ad ranees in years, an.l also more |
candors *<» male being very diffl
•nil to ai-oc-a -h" aha a
young mure so.
It is said to lose Its teeth at an early
eg« and to be therefore compelled to
live on fish which It can easily overtake
and can masticate readily, not baring a
stump left with which to cut its food,
The tusk, which lain reality a modified
tooth, extends from the left aide of the
upper jaw to a length of ten or more
feet and 1# It# sole weapon of offense
and defense. Fighting not l»eliig a
prominent trait of its character. It la not
compelled to use Its lance very much,
yet when the occasion arises It can give
a 1‘rusalsn uhlan of the guard a few
point# in thrust and parry,
It is almost Irresistible In a charge,
owing to Its strength, weight and speed,
and any enemy It may hit is likely to
receive a mortal thrust, as the point w£
Its lance Is very shar p and the blade
atmng enough to go through a whale.
It has lieen known to force Its tooth
ti>r»wgh U\« side of a whaling boat, and
more than one case is on record where
It dissliled »n Kwiuimaux canoe and
made its oocupsnts flee for their live*
Ui e eonvmdfmt Iceberg or broken,
floating lee, over which It could not
me ramble.
It Is the only animal known that
fights foe# with a single tooth and, aa
K la usually victorious against all of
tlirm except man, It deserves much
«?*m, tut aCigle-tobthed Be courage.
The creature cannot
travel on land, IU pectoral fins iudng
rather long end flex bio and It* tail
bn>ad and too bifureab-d to be of much
o*e In terrestrisl locomotion, ft* die
appearance from Europe and the greater
port it iu of thlacoiitiurQt would indicate
that It is doomed to early extinction,
#nd the probability is that it will lie ae
rare as th* great auk or mastodon In a
hundred year* from now. A merat»e*
nf the cetaceans, its flesh and fat are
appreciated by ssrsgrs and Us tusks by
white turn, so that it has every quality
requisite for Its early extermination.
