THE WHALING FLEET-According to letter
in the Tribune, there were in the harbor OF La
haina, Sandwich islands, about the 9th Of Nov.
70 American whalers, returned from their sum-
mer cruises in the North Pacific, nearly all with
full cargoes. So profitable season never was
known before. The greater portion OF the fleet
have not been out from port more than year -
About half Of them have been cruising IN the
!, Sea of Okhotsk, off the Siberian coast; the re-
naming and more fortunate half had been to the
new Arctic whaling ground discovered last year
by the shin Superior, of New Bedford. Some o.
y the vessels had penetrated far within tine Arctic
y Circle, finding abundance of whales among The
It ice. They were frequently locked IN by thu
floating ice-fields, from which they harpoone'
several whales without the aid of boats.
d The most successful vessel was the ship VIM
l. Hamilton, which had on board 1900 bbls., 70
e. of which she took on her passage out. At tn
entrance of Behring Straits she fell in with thre
dead whales at one time the remainder OF tn
'e cargo she took in the Arctic Sea.
