A Capaeious Swallow.

We stated in our last that whale got en-
tangled in the cable of an emigrant vessel at
Pamben. The published letter from j. T.
Reidy shows that the animal swallowed the
anchor, and got hooked by its fukes. We
mentioned that the vessel had been dragged
thirty miles in FIVE hours, or at the rate of
six miles an hour Mr.. Reidy computes the
total distance at fifty miles, and the rate of
reaching the railroad speed of fifteen miles an
hour The case is one of the most extraor-
binary on record A ship takes to angling,
using her anchor for hook-catches a whale
and finds that the case very much resembles
the celebrated one of catching a tartar The
whale runs AVA with the ship and a couple
of hundred human beings playing all sorts of
fantastic tricks; finally gets sick and casts up
the anchor Here is Mr. Reidy's account Of
this strange encounter between the ship and
the whale. We wish We could get the whale S
account of his proceedings and sensations. If
he survives this will be q lesson to him to be
more choice of his feeding for the future. Iron
is certainly useful as tonic, but our cetacious
friend must have misapprehended his doctors
prescription when he took to swallowing it in
the mass. Sydney Smith hoped his friend
Selwyn would disagree with the New Zealan-
ders if they swallowed him. We fear the re.
naming fuke will disagree with our marine
frieDd-if he will allow us to call him so.
