Ebeni INCIDENTS OF SPERM WHALING. {From the Boston Traveler.) The good a Fish was lying becalmed off the West end of Celebes, with a large sperm whale alongside, ready to be cut in. The sea was asa pond, and the sum as hot as blazes. In board there!” shouted the mate, who Was on a stage over the side. ‘in board there, aboy! ~ Sir,’ was the response. ** Whose hook on is it 7" “Mine.” responded a voice from the half deek. and up bounded Tom. a smart young boatsteerer, with nothing on buta pair of draw- ers. Inacouple of winks he made a dash at the open gangway overboard, for he was a guod swimmer, but unluckily his foot slip) and insiesd of jumping outside of the whale, which was evidently his intention, the back of his head struck the ridge of the whale, and he went down with bis hands extended over his head. All who saw him supposed he was go- ing down a fathom or two to cool off, and ex- pected him up again in a few seconds, but not appearing soon, the men along the gangway and the mates upon the stages roared ont— “ He's gone ' save him, boys!”’ and ina second five of our best swimmers plunged after him, and a boat waz lowered at the same time. But it was allin vain; poor Tom rose no more; even the men who plunged after him only saw a shoal of sharks descending in the direction they supposed he was sinking. Neo doubt he was devoured in less than five minutes after he jumped overboard. Shoals of sharks general- ly keep company with whalers. especially when they have whales alongside. and dash at every- thing that is thrown overboard. They would eat a whalo’s blubber in a night, if not kept off by spades and lances. These sharp instru- ments are appreciated by them—they seem to know that their touch is death, and instivetive- ly keop a respectable distance. until the ca: exss is surrendered to them in due form; then they have a blow out, and a free fight without interfereuce from salt beef surgeons. Poor Tom had taken his last dive. The boat after pulling astern, following the set of the cur- rent a reasonable time, returned and was hoist- ed up in silence. The men were too oppressed with grief to sing the usual song. and walked forward without exchanging a word. The cap- tain had walked the quarter deck full Give min- utes, apparently lost in thought, when the man at the mast-head sung out, *- There she blows— there again—there's two of them."’ “Where away?’ demanded the captain spefaging into the main rigging. “Right astern, sir; large whales! There goes tiukes, headed across the ship's wake to port’ There sho blows; there again,”’ contin- ued the lookout, and svon the captain and mates were up alorg side of him. ‘Clear away the boats!” shouted the cap- tain, “and getready toloweraway ; dowa from aloft. Ship-keeper, away aloftand keep a good look-out.” All hands were on the move. fall of life and animation. Poor Tom was forgotton in the ex- citement of fe moment. It was not until the tain's boat had dropped astern that he re- cailed to mind the fate of his boatsteerer by his absence from the bow of the boat; but seeing the cabin-boy looking over the taffrail, he sung out: «Jump everboard, Bill, and I'll pick you up, [ want you to pull the after oar.”’ Without a moment's hesitation, Bill was over- board. a fathom deep. but rose to the surfaze like acork, and was dragged aboard. * Now,” said the captain, who was a jovial young fellow, and delighted to identify himself with the humors of the crew, ‘you, Parson, pull the harpooner oar; I'll give you a chance to fasten, if we have the good luck to get upon the whale; but mind, if you miss, [ll drivea lance through you.’’ The young man whom he addressed as Par- son. had obtained the title by trying to teach a couple of New Zelanders to re. the Bible All the men had by names, such as Long Boy, Broadsword, Jack Ketch, Livercomplaint. Rheumatism, Lazarus, £c., and these name: were more used than those on the ‘ Articles. This was the Parsons first voyage whaling, aud the voyage was yet young, as there were only 300 barrels of oi! on board, and the ship coald stow 2.500 barrels. The death of Tom had given him a litt. which of right belonged to some experienced spouter, of whom there were sove- ral among the crew, and he felt determined to show himself worthy of the place the captain had assigned him. “Pull my boys—spring to your oars—bend yourbacks,” said the captain, grinding his teeth and pushing at the after var with all his might. * Pall and head the maic—that's you, another stroke like that, my hearties; there she goes; mow she flies, hurrah! the mate drops—now w: lead—off she goes!’ “‘ The whale's up, sir,’ said the Parson, in- terrupting the captain, ‘on the larboard bow.” “* So he is, and it’s our chance. Peak your oars, boys, and take to the paddles.”’ The order was promptly obeyed, and we were along the ganwales paddling like Malays The whale was about half a mile off, going at the rate of three knots an hour and blowing as lei- surely as a blacksmith’s bellows. ~Don’t make a noise, my lads,’ whispered the captain; ‘- keep your paddles clear of the des of the boat. What a noble fellow he is—gray- headed. a reguiar patriarch. Now, Parson. if you miss him, I'l! kill you—mind. he’s good for 85 barrels, yes, 90 ; Perhege 100, and to miss him deserves death—two deaths—eh. boys ?— Hush! take your paddies ont of the water—he sinells oakum—no he doesn't; paddle away!’ We were following in his wake, and as the sun was shining on his starboard side, the captain conclu:led the glare would half biind him, and enable us to approach without being seen, and steered the boat accordingly. It was really grand to see ths noble fellow ploughing alovg so gently, the water curling over bis back as if he were bathing for the benefit of his health, and enjoying the plessare. * Stand up. Parson id the gaptain, firmly, though in a whisper, his eyes glaring as if they would leap from their sockets The boat's bout was square with the whale’s hump nol more than eight feet off; the Parson held the iron (harpoon) by the middle careless- ly in his lett band ; the men still paddled, just keeping way with the whale, while the captain was gradually edging the boat, head on and stero off. ~ Dart.” whispered the captain; but the Parson whispered back -- Lay on.’ ‘ Dart, I tell you, you re near enough!’ * Lay on!” | was still the respunse of the Parson. «There, blast you, there’s lay un and have your head knocked off!"’ giving the boat a sweep on with the stecring oar.
