The WHALE. The whale in attempting TO es-
cape sometimes exerts prodigious strength, and in
hlcts upon its pursuers not only danger, but the
loss OF their property. In 1919, boats crew be-
longing to the Resolution, of Whithy. struck
Whale on the margin of foe. Supported BY sec
ond boat they felt much at their ease, there being
scarcely an instance in which the assistance of
third was required in such circumstances. Soon
however, signal was made for more line and as
Mr. Scoresby was pushing with his utmost speed,
four oars were raised in signal of the utmost dis
tress. The boat was now seen with its bow on A
level with the water, while the harpooner, from
the irlctlon OF the limo, was enveloped in smoke
AT length, when relief was within hundred wards
the crew were seen to throw their jackets upon the
nearest ice and then leap into the seaafter which
the boat rose into the air, and, making majestic
curve, disappeared beneath the water with all the
line attached to it. The crew were saved. vig.
orouS pursuit was immediately commenced and
the whale being traced through narrow and lntri
cate channels, was discovered considerably to the
eastward, when three harpoons were darted at him
The line OF two other boats was then run out. when
by an accidental entang cement it broke. and eno-
bled the whale to carry off in all about four miles
Of rope, which with the boat, were valued at one
hundred and fifty pounds The daring fishers
again gave chace, the whale was seen but missed
A third time 1t appeared, and was reacbed-two
more harpoons were struck, and the animal BEING
piled with lances, became entirely exhausted and
yielded to ito fate. 1t had by that time drawn ont
10, 440 yards. or about six miles of line. Unluckily
through the Encouragement of harpoon boat and
thirteen lines, nearly two miles in length, were
detached and never recovered.

EXPERIMENTS OF THE INDIANS TO PROVE
WHETHER THE SPANIARDs WE'RE MORTAL. The
poor Indians soon found the difference between tho
Spanlards as guests, and the Spaniards as masters
!hey were driven to despair by the heavy taska
imposed upon them for TO their free spirits and
INCIDENT habits, restraint and labor were worse than
death. Many Of the most hardy and daring propos-
ed general instruction, and massacre of their
oppressors; the great mass, however, were deter
red by the belief that the Spaniards were supernat
ural beings and could not be killed A shrewd aud
seePucal cacique, named Brayoan determined inn
medlately to put their Immortality to the test.
Hearing that young Spaniard, named Sazedo.
was passing through his lands, he sent party of
MS subjects to escort him. giving them Instructions
now they were to act. On coming TO a river, they
took -Salzedo on their shoulders to csrry hin
across, but, when in the midst of the stream they
let him fall, and throwing themselves upon him,
pressed him under the water until he was drowned.
Then dragged his body to the shore and still doubt
ing his being dead they wept and howled over him.
mailing thaasasd apologies, for having fallen nm
on him and kept him so long beneath The surface.
The cacique Blayoan came to examine the body
and pronounced it Iifeless; but the Indians still
tearing it might possess lurking immortality and
ultimately revive, kept watch over it for three DAYS
until it showed ncontestible signs of putrefactiop.
Being now convinced that the strangers were NOR
tai men like themselves. they readily entered into
general conspiracy to destroy them.
