The Abraham Lincoln, not being able to \ atruggle with such velocity, had mod- erated ite pace, and satled at half speed. For its part, the narwhal, imi- tating tho frigate, let the waves rock ft at will and seemed decided not to leave the scene of the struggle. ‘To- ward midnight, however, It disap- peared, or, to use & more appropriate term, it “died out” like @ large glow- worm. Had it fled? One could only fear, not hope it. But at seven min- utes to one o'clock in the morning @ deafening whistling was heard, like that produced by a body of water rushing with great violence. The Captain, Ned Land, and I were then on the poop, eagerly peering through the profound darkness, “Ned Land,” asked the commander, “you have often heard the roaring of whales? + “Often, sir; but never such whales | the sight of which brought me in two thousand dollars, If I can only ap- proach within four harpoon lengths of it!" “But to approach It," said the com- wv j mander, “I ought to put @ whaler at / your disposal “Certainly, wir, F “That will be trifling’ with the * added I, “one can only with @ gymnotus or @ te id the vo," eimply two o'clock in the morn- i, we burning light reappoared, fd. less intense, about five miles to windward of the Abraham Lincoln, Notwithstanding the distance, and the folse of the wind and sea, one heard distinctly the loud strokes of the animal's tail, and even its panting breath, It seemed that, at the mo- ment that the enormous narwhal had come to take breath at the eur. t ice of the water, the air was ingulfed nits lungs, like the steam in the vast cylinders of a machine of two thou- sand horse power, We were on the qui vive till day- Light, and prepared for the combat, The fishing implements were laid along the hammock netting.

I concluded definitely that it belonged to the vertebrate branch, class mammalia, The crow walted tmpattently for their chief's orders, The latter, after having observed the animal atten- tively, called the engineer, The en- gineer ran to him, “gir,” said the commander, “you ve steam up? 'Yos, sir,” anawored the engineer. { “Well, make up your fires and put @p_all steam. , Three burrabs greeted this order, fiction years before uced the terrible U-boat.

Ho gave his orders, The Abraham Lincoln kept up half steam, and ad vanced cautiously, 60 a8 not to awake its adversary, It is no rare thing to moet in the middle of the ocean whales so sound asleep that they oan be successfully attacked, and Ned Land had harpooned more than one during {ts sleep. The Canadian went to take his place again under the bowasprit. The frigate approached noiselessly, stopped at two cables’ length from the animal, and following Its track. No one breathed a deep silence reigned on the bridge, We were not @ hundred feet from the burning focus, the light of which increased and dazzled our eyes. At this moment, leaning on the tle bulwark, 1 saw below me nd grappling the martingale in one hand, brandishing his terriple harpoon in the other, scarcely twenty feet from the motionless animal, Sud- “and denly his arm straightened, and the harpoon was thrown; I heard the sonorous stroke of the weapon, which seomed to have struck a hand body, The electric light went out suddenly, and two enormous waterspouts broke over the bridge of the frigate, rush- ing like a torrent from stem to stern, overthrowing men, and breaking the lashing of the spars, A fearful shock followed, and, thrown over tho rail without having time to stop myself, I fell into the sea. CHAPTER VII. An Unknown Species of Whale, HIS unexpected fall #0 stunned me that I have no clear recollection of my sensations at the time, I was at first drawa down to a depth of about twenty feet, I am a good swimmer and in that plunge I did not lose’my presence of mind, Two vigorous strokes brought mo to the surface of the water, ‘The darkness was intense, T caught a glimpse of a black mass disappear- ing in the east, tts beacon lights dying out in the distance, Jt was the frigate!

Conseil made @ last effort, and lean- ing on my shoulder, while I struck out in a despairing ‘effort, ho rained then himself half out of the water, fell back exhausted. “What did you “L saw,” murmured but do not talk—re atrongth!" What had he seen? Then, T know not why, the thought of the monster came into my head for the first ume! But that voice? The tine is, past for Jonahs to take refuge in whales’ bel- lies! However, Conseil was towing me again, He raised his head som tunes, looked before us, and uttered a cry of recognition, which was re- sponded to by a voice that came nearer and nearer, I scarcely heard it, My strength was exhausted; my fingers stiffened; my hand afforded me support no longer; my mouth, convulsively opening, filed with salt water, Cold crept over me, I raised my head for the last time, then T sank. At this moment a hard dody struck me, [clung to it; then 1 felt that I was being drawn up; that 1 was brought to tho surface of the water, that my chest collapsed; I fainted.
