PUBLISHED WEEKLY BIZ
HENRY NJ. WHITNEY. !,


The prices Of all kinds Of recruits during the tail
have been reasonable, averaging not over twenty
Eve Der cent. advance on New Bedford prices,
and are as low as at any port in this ocean
But the great trouble lies with the ship owners
themselves, in the exfravagant scale on which
they have fitted out vessels and in the large
bonuses in some instances paid TO shipmasters-
For the past few years, ships have been fitted out
from home ports at an expense frequentiyo OF Soo,-
900 and sometimes as high as 100000 for one
vessel. This scale was based on the large profits
of the years 1851 In the paragraph quoted
above from our paper of Dee %, we adverted to
this, and stated that ship owners must come down
in their views, and practice g little more economy,
or the business must Be given up.
In conclusion, We trust that the ship owners OF
y. Bedford viii be able 70 discover the real "causes
of their illsueceS,'' and not seek 70 charge
on our island merchants that which facts do not
warrant. Most cordially do we join with the
Shipping Last in hoping "that q more rigid
economy Will hereafter be practiced, not only by
ship owners themselves, but also by those In
whose hands are largely entrusted the wealth and
future progress of New Bedford" Our ship
chambers are al men of integrity, whose reputa-
ton is above dollars and cents, and who are and
have been ready to cooperate with ship owners
IN ali their efforts to carry on the whale-hshery
with economy.

4 SHARK ~SToRY.-Aanaka seamen are noted for
their yarns, which an sometimes rather fshy, and
not one iota behind TIE best of their more enlightened
brethren. The following was current here a few days
ago. Two native saibrs jumped overheard from the
whaling brig Wailus (Which sailed from this port
on the Both Dec WIN that vessel was abo1t thirty
miles from land, preerring to run their chances of
swimming ashore to / cruise in the Arctic Ocean.
After having been twnty hours or more in the water,
they fell in with enc o the large sharks which abound

monster was ~actuatet by no deadly motives. and that

his head with a slap IN this side or on that, headed
him direct for land, ome ten miles distant. Being

loa. We give the stoy as we heard it, only adding
that the sailors, who deserted from the Wdilua,

that they are willing I, testify to its truth. The dis
lance swan is probably correct, but the shark part of

The FRENCH IN III, s. PAcrEIc.-From various
sources, We learn that tie French government, which
has long been planning change of policy in its South
Pacific possessions, is Dw carrying them into effect.
1t is Withdrawing its cTl and military officers from
the Marquesas- At Thiti they are to remove all
their military establishment, leaving only a few civil
officers The plan embraces, furthermore, the CON-
plete restoration of Pdnare as ruler of the Society
Islands, and perhaps sfuture entire withdrawal of
the civil officers now eft there. If France carries
out this plan, it must tnd to regain for her much Of
that.respect among the Polynesian races, which her
course with Tahiti and ,omare deprived her Of. The
policy Of the French, if We are correctly informed, is
to give up the above groups, for military purpose,
and constitute a strong military and naval depot on
New Caledonia Island, lot far from Sydney. Polite

Of her whales, beats all ether cruising grounds in the

average of about 1880 barrels each. This " bangs

~neighbors are constantly calling attention to their

Loss OF THE WHALE-BARK BLACK WARRIoR.-By
the return of the schooner j. d.. Carr, we learn with
regret the loss of the bark Black Warrior, of this
tain Brown, who returned in the schooner, are these:
The Black Warrior arrived at Bartholomew s
Bay from the Arctic Nov. ID, where she found the
tender waiting her arrival and all well on board. On
the 18th she and the tender safely ENTERED French
mans Lagoon and anchored in 8 1-2 fathoms. The
following two weeks the tender was employed cruis-
ing about for whales, but with no success. Dec. 20
Capt. Brown concluded to leave the lagoon, and with
three boats from the Metropolis, four from the Lark
and three from other ships outside, to tow in case of
accident, the bark got under way. After passing the
bar, it was observed that the strong current was
drifting her towards the shore, against a fair breeze
and all the boats towing. Her anchors were let go,
but the windlass giving out, she paved on to the rocks
and commenced humping where al attempts to save
her were vain. Finding the vessel filing rapidly,
efforts were made to save part Of her cargo. The
bark had on board 300 barrels oil and had received
from the tender 400 seal skins. 40 barrels seal oil,
and % barrels sailed fish. Only 90 barrels of oil,
and some ofSthe gear and effects of the ship were
saved, and are on board the Emerald and Halman.
At daylight on the Dist not a vestige of the bark re-
manned, except the timbers and casks floating about.
The officers and crew were divided around among the
four ships in the Bay. The Black Fdrrior was
owned at this port, and sailed at an expense of about
$4,000, and her cargo was worth perhaps SIS, 900.
on which there is no insurance. Capt. Brown owned
one quarter. and the community viii sympathize with
him in his loss--P. C. .fdrertfser, March 9.

1889, in its annual review, says Of that port "The
only striking discrepancies that are noticeable in the
foregoing data. e tonnage movement of the port)
consist first in the continued decrease of the whaling
tonnage. The business has not proved lucrative, and
we have to remark a continually diminishing guam
tity of shipping owned at this port SO employed from
year to year. The high rates paid TO hands, and the
large expense Of QUILTS do not admit Of our r~iraiIing
the more economical expeditions fitted out by other
countries. The italics are our own. But coming
from such authority, we think the above is worthy of
notice. and we would call the attention of our whal-
ing friends both here and at home to it.
