Meanwhile, from all the neighboring ports, and even New York, steam- ers and swall boats have arrived, and every crult that witl fioat has has been hired to ehable the sighi-scers to obtain o good view of the monsters and thelr performance. By uslog great diligence I was cnabled to discover the secluded quarters of Mr. Jabez Ryder; and them, by ex- peuding oo biw ouch, judicious flattery” and sumething more tangible, [ obtalned the prome fs56 of o place in one of his buats. At 10 o’clock this worning I met. bim aceordini to nEpolm- ment, abd we proceeded to Granite Wharl, where we enterad & buat, in the stern of which 1 was {utroduced to Mrs, Ryderand two of her daughiters.. Mivs Ryder presided with mui grace at the tiller-ropes, whlle her most pracf «al papa aud brother bent the dars and pulled out futo the bay, In o few minutes wo drow up by the side ofalarge boat that made fust at the stern to o buoy, and connected, by means of o couple of small, lignt, but very strung hawsers ot the bow, with twe otlicr boats floatiug thirty feet In_ advance, Into thls boat cntered the affable mather and her daughters, With o few strong strokes the ogrsmen {mpelled thelr, Loat butween the two that were floating abiead. ‘Uheir bows wero to- ward the east: into the southern one jumped Mr. llrnlor aud his youngest son; the northern was afready occupled by his two eldest.

In anotlier moment the whole of the DACKS OP TIIE TWO MONSTERH were distinetly visible above the surface, The ranges of steamers and boats on cach afde had caused $he open apace to bo transform- ed from comparatively rough waves to a long and narrow mirror-like expanse that wes scarve- l{ more ruflled than a deep, tranaull, flowin river; cnmm.ucnu{v the water was so smooth that more than linif of the hdies of the whalcs Irom thelr heads to thelr tatls might be platnly ncert 4o preat advantage, Those spectators who were near could ses that two huge collars cn- clreled the necks of the whales aliout four fect from thelr hieads, and that from these collars o Iind of harness extended along their sides and backs, terminating at a broad band which eneircled thefr talle at thelr smallest art, and fust [n front of the candal fins. Tu the backs of the collars were made fast the hawsers that led over the bows of the boats, und by means of which the monsters wero coaxed Iromunscen depths, unttl more than half of thelr huge bodles et the sight of the sur- roundivg muliltude. Then, ulso, could the crowd observe that the hawsers, whichled froms the sldes of the boats were made fast near the extremitiea of thelr noses to sume Ingenfous kind of bridles. llaving given the spectators ample timo to exuming as much of his huge; team os could be ralsed above the water, and alsy thelr eq uI‘pmenu, Mr. Ryder, with the ald of Lis son, held up o lnr?to strip of hunting, on both sides of which, iu large let- ters, were theso words: “Look outl I am about to STAIRT MY TEAM.' Then he made a wotion to his' wifo and daughters, who at once let IUX the rope that held thele boat to the buoy. At the same in- stant the femals Ryders cast themselves loose from it, the male members of the family slacked oft some fathoms of their bow-hawsers; and thereupon, feellng thicnselvea looscued, the whales started ot towards the enst, towing the boats after them at_such great speed that we should soon have been towed glear, and far aliend of all the steamers and ‘small boats, it the Ryders, father aud suns, had not Lrought thelr “drags into imwmedinto usc, Rushing to tho sterns of their respective boats they slacked ofl the ropes, aud lowered the drags into the water, untll’ they hung perpendlenlar; then making tho ropes fost the drags wero brought with thetr broadest suriace In contact with the wakes of the boats. The [ustant that the denso masses of Lrine came runnlug agalnst the drus the whales felt that ‘they were retarded; and they slackeued their speed, not flndlui it easy to draw so large o portion of Boston Bay after them. By the time the drags were lowered aud brought fito thelr upright retardirig positions, the whales bad towed us nuore than. a’ mile abend of all the steamers and amall boats. When the first of these came up with us, Mr., Ryder und his sou presented another sirip of bunting, asorned wufi this aunouncement: I will now turn round to the northward, and GO WACK TO MY STANTING-POINT.” This belng lowered, the drag attached to the southern boat was drawn up out of the watcr, and the whule harnessed thoreto, feeling herself released from all strain, Pm. forth her powers ond swom ahead; while the whale hitched to the northern boat, not feeling herself freed from restraints, remained numuunr{. and this caused her mato to turn groduatly around towards tho north,—tho retarded boat, and the monster Joined to L, actlng as a nuunnnrf' plvot, round which sho swam, towlngr her deferred mate with her until their heads faced towards the weat, When this mancuvre was accomplisbed, and tho ofes of both wero looking directly toward the buoy Iromn whence they were loosencd, then tho drag that held back tlio pivot-Loat was drawn up, 80 that It ceased to detain the towlng whale, and she immediately, upon fecling the reatraint re- moved, started off at full speed, slde by side with the one that had turned her round. In- deed, with such specd did they swim westward that our boats would have beén brought In con- tact with several of thuss containing spectatqrs i they had not made great haste to get ontdf our way. Just as we wero about half-way back to our starting-polnt thoe drags were ::fiuln lowered, and, s svon a8 the whales ceased swimming, the windlasses were put In motlon, and the jonsters were once mora ralsed until thefr icads and backs could be seen. Tiwo large bags well flled with somo light ond very strong- smelling subatance were lowered fnto the amall boat, and after them descended My, Ryder, his sou, and myself. ‘The Ryders pulled jorward, passlog between the ronsters -until the head of tlie northern one was _reachy ‘Taklog hold of tho bridle close to hur nose, the son hold the stendy, while the father, opeuing the bag, tuok out with n large “Mfl about a gallon of its coutents.

The other whule was then fed Iu like mauner, the spectators shouting with dcl:!:m. at the spectacle, The team having been fed accoraing to the programme, we returned to the boat we had left, and, withe out duh?', Mr. Ryder, mountivg to the highest part of {t, shouted to the multitude: 1 have uow performed oll that the nine Superintend- ents promised, have I noti? “No, nul" somo oue bawled, * you Liave only turned your whales totheleft!? “AMr. Ryder answered, “Ohl hol that's so! Well, I'll now turn thetn to the right and left—look cut for yourselves, uno and alf! " ‘Turning to his sons In the other boat, he bade them hofst up their drag us quickly as possible, and, a momeut after, tuefr whale, fecllng lor- sclf unretorded, dashed ahead; but, being held Lack on oue side by Ler mate, she swam arqund northward, and, %0 soon as she had made alf 8 dreult, the drag was put on to her, aud ours taken off, whereat our whals performed s shallar half<ircult, 50 that by these two evolutions the whales and buats made a courso {u the bay RRSEMULING TIN SUAPE OF TIE LETTER 8, and came 80 near running down several boa thiat the carcless, curfous, exacting spectator who were In them refrulned from requesting a further exhibition of right and left ‘turntugs, Beclug that the crowd appeared to have enough of the serpentine perfurinauce, Mr. Ryder and his sous (Ly expertly holstiug aud lowering the drags alternstely, and alio by slmultancously druwing In Enm.l slacking off the hawsers that were uttachéd to the bridies) gulded the whales with the utmost nleety back to and pest the buoy, until the boat - containing bis wife and daughters was brought nearly up to it, and then buth drugs were drop- ped s0 suddenly that ono of the Misses Ryder was enabled to vateh tho buoy-ring with a buat. hook and hold it while her sistur made 8 small cuble fast thereto.
