Hholes-On the night of Tuesday, the sth ult,
| ABOUT ~ O'Clock, when very dark with a pour
| down OF rain, the villagers of st. Mary's Holm

Holm sound the like of which they had never
heard before. Nothing daunted, however the
villagers turned out to a man, mastering some
| ten boats, got afioat, four men on an average to
each boat, and found flock of 'beetie nosesn that
had lost their reckoning, blowing off steam quite
| near the village. Battle was given immediately
| and after short but hot pursuit aud some blocdy
work, the whole flock OF seventy whales was
stranded little east Of the village amongst rug
ged rocks, everything pitch dark as could be-
The carnage the yelling and noise that ok place
in the middle of that dismal night NAV be imagin.
cd but. not described. PitcSfrks graples scythe
blades aud few lances were got from the village,
and any other lethel weapon that could do The
slightest execution. Itis wonder that no acci.
dent happened, as the men bad to fsht from the
boats, not being able to land on the slippery rocks
with deep holes betwiXt them. The whales are
large on the average, and in fine condition. They
will doubtless fetch some f200 to the valorous
