substituted for the church and the altar,

years of age. mistress of more than as ma.

Atihe time our acquaintance commenc-

The Whales Strength. mos

Inc WudleS StrcngLh.-Ihe most
dreadful display Of the whales strength
and prowess yet aulhen,ically recorded.
was that made upon The American whale
ship Essex, Captain Pollard. which sailed
from Nantucket for The Pacific Ocean in
August, Is49. Late in the fall Of The
same year. when in latitude forty Of the
South Pacific, school Of sperm whales
was discovered. and three boats were
manned and sent in pursuit. The mates
boat was struck by one of them. and he
was obliged to return 10 The ship in order
10 repair The damage. "a ff'a'
While he was engaged inthat work,
sperm whale, judged to be eighty five feet
long. broke water about twenty rods from
the ship. on her weather bow. He was
going al the rate Of about three knots an
hour, and The ship at nearly about The
same rate, when he sirnck the bows of
the vessel just forward oI her chains.
Al the shock produced by The collision
Of two such might masses OF matter in
motion, The ship shook like leaf. The
seemingly malicious whale ,lived and
passed under the ship, grazing her keel,
and then appeared at sbou, the distance
Of a ships length. lsshing The sea with
fins and Tail, as il suffering the most hor-
rible agony. He was evidently hurt by
the collision, and blindly frantic with in.
siinclise rage.
In few minutes he seemed 10 recover
himself, and started with great speed di-
recily across the vessels course To the
windward. Meantime The hands on board
discovered The ship 10 be gradually set
lling dawn at the bows, and lie pumps
were TO be rigged. While the crew were
working at them, one of the men cried
out, |" God have mercy he comes again."
The whale had turned at about forty
rods from The ship, and was making for
her with double his former speed, his
pathway white with foam. Rushing
head on, he struck her again at the bow,
and the tremendous blow stove her in.
The whale dived under again. and disap>
peared, and the ship faundered in FIVE
minutes from the first collision. Bu, five
souls out of the twenty were saved.
