countlof anneDcounter with whale on the
18th of December last: uIs T. s.5 to HoiJ
ont About three hundred miles N. w. from
St. Nicholas We saw whales close to the
ship, lowered the boats as soon as possible
and soon the secondVmate struck large
whale. In few minutes the third mate
struck and got stove. The whale then went
s. to the second mate and knocked the bottom
out of his boat. The first mate thenibrought
the third mate aud his crew to the ship.
q then sent him off to bring the second mate
and his crew to the ship as quick as possi-
BILE, as saw the whale was intending mist
chief. In the meantime the whale was at
work on the starboard boat, and soon made
a bad boat of her. After getting all hands
on board, the first and second mates, being
anxious to try him again, went off but
didn't get a chance to kill him. In fact,
they had as much as they could do to keep
clear of him; and seeing that he was dam
gerous customer called theboats on board.
IUoNot liking the idea of being done by q
whale, L concluded to go at him with the
ship; got ready and made for him. Get

his head coming in contact with the cut
water, knocking it off and tearing off con-
siderable copper and sheathing. The shock
he gave the ship was heavy. taking some of
the men off their feet, and giving them
considerable of a fright. Had the whale
struck ejship fair, he would have gone
through her as easily as a cat would
through paper. About the time he struck
I gave him bomb, but did not kill him.
So went at him again, This time he did
notseem like the taste of the ship, and
SO he got out of the way as fast as he
could. As he passed I gave him, another
bomb and two lances, but these failed to
kill him. Again j tried him, but he kept
