PROFITABLE WHALING VOYAGE Valuable
Discovery and HeaUy Transaction ae amber.
gris.-SchooDer Waterman, Capt. Charles
w. Hussey, of Nantucket, returned to that
port about two weeks since from a whaling
cruise in the Atlantic Ocean, having being
absent about year. While cruising in Sam
Bay the schooner captured sperm whale
from which was obtained eleven barrels of
oil, worth about 1920. The most valuable
part OF the whale, which was a very large
one, and in perishng state when struck,
consisted, however, in the extraordinary Sc
erection in the intestines of about Str hun bred
pounds of ambergris, a solid, Opaque, infam-
mabie substance, possessing peculiar scent,
which 1t always retains. The ambergris is
supposed to be the product of the disease of
the liver, since it is found in whales of
sick and lean appearance. which, being
struck with lance, or frightened by the
approach of a boat, give indications OF i'll
health by emitting yellowsh secretion,
which colors the water 1t is found IN no
other than the spermaceti whale and is usu-
ally found in Jumps weighing from one to
thirty pounds The largest piece before
known weighed one hundred and eighty two
pounds, and was purchased of the King of
Tidore by the Dutch East India Company.
Another piece, found inside whale near the
windward islands, was sold for $500 sterling.
The article melts easily into kind of yell
lowish resin, and is soluble in alcohol, in
which state it is used as perfume 1t is also
employed i'll refining gold, and by Catholics
in burning incence in their churches. Whal-
ing vessels touching at Catholic ports are Of
ten besieged by the priests seeking to obtain
ambergris. The article, however, is rarely OBJ
tanned, and from its scarcity commands
great price, selling at from ten to sixteen
dollars an ounce. The quantity obtained by
Capt. Hussey was upon his arrival, shipped
to this city. and stored for a single night in
store on city wharf. The owners Of the
schooner hoped to realize $4,000 from the sale
of it. and to guard against loss, obtained
policy of insurance and set watch over it.
The uext day the entire quantity was sold to
an enterprising firm of druggists IN this city
for the large sum of $4,000, the whale thus
yielding $40, 45O, which is said to be the
most valuable on record The purchasers
will probably realize 100000. We learn
that the article is destined for foreign mar
