The weeks slipped away and the weather was steadily cold, with occus- ional light fails of snow, and as Bob Traversley looked out of his little win- dow av the rounded outlines of the peaks I could see thut his heart was fas away with the girl he loved, perhaps thinking that his rival was taking advantage of his silence to catch a heart on the rebound.

What I am going to tell you is | partly & matter of public re | land, Scotland and Amerieca i partly gleaned from Nantucket and New Bedford whalers who battied with [ wehelot time after time, to suffer defeat on cach oceasion. On the 5th day of July, 1810, the English whaling beig Desmond, being 5 miles due west of the port of Val- paraiso, Chili, sighted a lone wh which breached his full Jength above the surfuce about two miles away., The boats were lowere but before they were within half a mile of the whale on to them and Ho struck one drovo her under around head *t them, bout with his head and he slewed advi ced to m stern first and then chewed herup He then sounded and was lost to sight for fifteen minutes, When he eame up 1t was to lift the other boat thirty feet high on his head, and of course sho completely shattered, Oars and planks wero grouad fine by his teeth as he wal- lowed woout, and two men were drowned as before the whale went slowly off to the north, This was Mocha Dick’s” intro- duction to the blubber hunters. He was the largest whale brig had ever was Wout ¢ any one aboard the nd neross his he tht feet long, wh u sed showed almost white on the gray-black background. It was by this scar'he was ever afterward identified. ‘The next craft to encounter “*Mocha Dick™ was the Russian bark Savepta. This was on the 30th of August, almost two months luter, and she was fully 500 miles to the south pf the spot where he was first seen. She lowered two boats for alone whale and killed him. The bark was three miles away, and beating down to the whale under w light breeze, when “Mocia Dick” suc ot out of the water betiveen the vessel and the boats. Such was his impetus that nearly his full length could be traced before he fell with a crash which could have been heard for miles around. As soon as he had righted himself he made straight for the boats. One of them passed around the dead whale before he got up, but the bther was caught by the sweep of his jaw -as he came on and knockzd to pieces. He then took up his position beside the dead whale and wained quict tor half an hour, during which interval the other boat pulled off to the bark. Three men had been lost and had both arms broken, while tl a fourth ilors had beer ven such a fright that they could not be induced to attack. The vessel hung about the spot for three hours, hoping the fierce leviathan would take himself off, but finally had to sail away and leave him in possession. The dead whale was taken possession of two days later by the whaling ship, John Bruce of Nuntucket, but it was no longer guarded. The next authi tic record of **Mocha Dick” was furnished by the Bristol whaler John Day, in May of the year following. She was then to the cast of the Fatkland islands, and was trying out blubber as she drifted with a light bree A 2o'clodk in the afternoon a gigantic whale breached within 300 feet of her, shooting his full length out of water, and raising such a sea by his fall qhat tho ship rolled as if in a gule. The whale then swam slowly about, ana as soon as the men caught sight of his head th identitfied him as **Mocha Dick.” His actions were men- acing, but the captain atonce decided to attack him. Three boats were lowered, and as the whale made off to windward the flrst mate puta harpoon into him, This was the first iron **Mocha Dick had ever felt. He sounded at once and van for three miles, and when he came up it was to slue around and hend for the bout. His action was so unexpectod and his speed so great, that he caught the boat unprepared and ran right over it. 5 it went undoer he stopped short and turned as on a pivot, beating the water all the tume with flukes which measured twenty-four fect across. Nothing was left of the boat but splinters, and two of her crew were killed or drowned. The other two boats ndvanced to the attack, but before they woro near enough 10 dart, the whale settled away like a lump of lead. One of the boats got hold of the Hoating line, but had scarcely secured it when the tricky fightor camé up under the other and seat it skywuard with the bottom knocked out.

A coasting craft had heen blown off the coast by a heavy gale and was making her way back. It was about an hour after daylight when a big whale was seen 1o breach about two miles away. It was passed overas a trifling incident, but ten or fifteen minutes later the levinthian was discovered rushing down in the wake of the craft with all the steam he could put on. He was so close ubourd aud the sight of him threw the thut no ry natives into such a terror was made to escape him. He struck the craft on her stern and wr d her in un instant, and pieces of the wreckage wero carried away in his jaws as he swerved to port and swam slowly away.

The Yankee's boat was the only one fast to the whale, and after vainly trying z0 or smash it, **Mocha Dic sud- started for the wreck of the which was floating two miles . He made a straight course, and the three captains were agreed that his sneed, when fairly under way, was not less than thirty miles an_hour. As he struck the wreck he bore it down, and it rose bohind him bottom side up. To preventa collision the boat had to cut her line, and the whale soon sounded and was lost to sight. The boat started back, but had not yet reached the = ships, when the fighting leviathan breached under the bows of the Scotchman and curried away jibboom and bowsprit with smash.
