CAPTURE of 300 WHALES.—Last week was un-
usually exciting in variousof the Orkney Islands, large shoals
of whales having made their appearance. At Rothiesholtn,
Stronsay,
on Wednesday, a large " school " made its appear-
ance, and the greater part of the inhabitants of the district
turned out, armed with all manner of lethal weapons, and
the result of that day's exertions was the handsome capture
of 80 whales, some of them of considerable size. On Friday
they were sold, in czonttio, by Mr. Malcolm Green, and
realise.' a high price. On Thursday, at the Sand of Bea, in
the Island of Sauday, hundreds of whales appeared, and were
the signal for a simultaneous onslaught by old and young,
male and female, of the locality. The scene was both amus-
ing and exciting. After a large body had been embayed and
driven into shoal water by means of small boats, an indis-
criminate slanghter took place, amid the most admired
confusion, terminating in the death of no fewer than 220
whales, bling the largest capture for a number of years.—
