A Ternific Struggle Detween Threo Duep Sea Monstors, Sin Fin ( We were s idly at anchor ofl Mahukona, 1 Hawaii. Swing Jng idly at anchor in the scuth sea on A summer’s duy is eminently poetical but one may get too much poetry cv under some circumstances. The cir cumstances in this case were the young Amorican and a guitar, either of which it is pretty hard to be called upon to bear singly, but coming joint- ly they knocked the poetry all out of metre. 1 may even say they twanged it all out of rhyme and metre. While the guitar remained forward and the young American aft the day was love- ly, for the guitar was sweetly played upon and the young American sofily snored, But in a most unlucky mo- ment the Y. A. awoke, and then the ving [ man who was quietly readiug a novel, the pair of young lovers who were comparing the shadea of blue in sky and water the latter as trausparent almost as air; the British globe-trot ter, who was meditatively smoking a briarwood pipe: and I, tuking a per- ectly matter-of fact lesson in a native song from a half-white cabin passen- ger, who happened tc be young and pretty, shuddered. We all shuddor- ed, becwuse the young American snoring, even, was much more in har- mony with the day aud scene than he could be awake, for ho always gave one the impression, upon awakening, that he was about to put into action some new nonsense he had just dream ed of. Anyway, he immediately started the British globe-trotter into a violent discussion on the Irish ques- | tion, apropos of the assassination of Lord Cavendish, which wa had then juet heard of; he separated the lovers, who were symphonizing blues; he di-- turbed the novel reader, and finally brought anguish to the souls of all by propusing to borrow the guitar from its natuive owner and ‘‘assist” in my singing lerson. Ho did so, and twanged the poetry all out of the day. It is not that he sang worse than any one elee that I ever heard sing, and played worso than he sang, that T felt bitter; neither did my bitternesa result at all from the circumsiauce that the half-white gir), who happened to be protty, and whose attentions he soon monopolized, had the bad taste to ad- wiro his singing and playing. Not at nll T was bitter because the poetry of . day had been disturbed; I was't, THE EXCITEMENT, This i all merely to explain why noacly ‘every one stretched on the ofter-decl wader the awnings was tired of idly swinging at wwhor, and esgerly wished for numx.-zhm;( w happen that would bring forgetful- nexs of the young Ameriean and the gnitar, The something that did prov identially happen was heralded some native pussengers who point little way ofl, wheve, at first, we could seo only occasional foamy spurts of water “There she spouts!” yelled the younrg American, who, from the first, immediately took charge of the new cause of excitement in a mavner cal calated to impress us that it was scme- thing that he had himeelf arranged to sarprise us with, ‘“There sho sponts!” "o, sho dou’t spout, and that's what the matter.” Lhis bold contra- diction of a very brase man, who just then came on deck. Every one looked at the captain, for, although what he had said had been welcomed as an authoritive con- tradiction ofthe Y. A., still, it needed foot notes, or something to be intolli- gible, The captain looked with increasmg interest at the commotion in the water, and finully said, decidedly: “Ti's thrasher and a awordfish whale, and if they ouly o ¥ yow'il see some fun that land lubbers seldom see—mcaving uo disrespect to the ladic Iv iom that played much then, so we all watched the further our ceptain dis intereat as h the more ear werring flght, He explanation then, longe saw 1o bodies, di the water no BOIE T but the sieadily g Tho water would then lashed into would be a then the water would subside into a bubbling wake.

Gradually the | scone of sction drifted further’ from us and suddenly ceased, the whale sinking fioally out of sight. Then we turned to the captain and asked of that worthy individual an ex planatic Of course he had one ready, and it was this: There was another fish highly interested in_the battle that we had not seen. This was the fish that came in at the doath, “T'm sorry,” the captain said, “‘that the whale was not finished near enough for you to see, for then yu would have been astonished, Now what do you suppose that thrasher and likewise that swordfish were piving that kind of battle to chat whale for! Now, none of you know, yet somq, people who don’t think they do.” Here the Zcaptain looked at the young American, who had lookod as if he was about to speak, but he didn’t. A SCIENTIC EXPLANATION, “‘Some people,” the captain con- tinued, “mos:ly ecientific chaps, think they know all about this matter. I had one of em’ down here ovce. 1 think he was a skipper or somebody high up in the 'Camedy of science in San_Krancisco, Woll what do yon think that chap says? Why, he spins a yarn like this: Ho says, says he, that the thrasher, which the same the chap had a Latin name for as long as a capstan bar, the thrasher, he says, eats the same kind of small fry as tho whale takes kindly to. Well, the thrasher don't like him on his ground, natural enough, and he can't drive him off alone, 8o he hires the sword fish, n kind of a pirate of a fish to help him. Now there's a ya for you! Bat the yarn I tell, which the same any sailor who has bo whaling will make affidavit to, is this: That swordfieh sticka to the whale from below, to make it rise, and the thrasher calks up his mouth But why don’t it open its mouth at once? And this same I ask of the scientific chap: Why don’t he open his mouth at oncel” “Perhape.” interrupted the young American, gloomingly, ‘‘perhaps the thrasher is spinnivg such a long yarn that the whale don’t get a chance to open his mouth,” “Why,” resumed the captain, tak ing no other notice of the Y. A's flippant insinuation than to glare at him, *‘why don’t the whale open his mouth the first time the thrasher covers hiatspout holed ge. it knows by instinet thae the instant its month is opened its tongue 18 Lit ont. effect this rciarkable statement would have upon ux, The young American satd, in an aside: *“What o finw thing it would bo if that would happen to some land bores 1 know of " Trouble Saved. a remarkable that THOMAS’ EcLEeTrIc OIL is as_good for internul os exteinal use, For disease of the lungs and throat, and for rhenmatism, neuralgis, k in the hack, won: und wores, it is best known remec A much ' tron.
