While blowing near the coast, his attention was
directed to an unusual commotion in the water,

fdable and powerful adversary.
In making their thrusts into his sides they
would keep clear of his tail, one blow of which
would have been fatal to them. With maddened
fury the huge monster would strike right and
left causing the water to boil by the force of the
blow-and then he would dive deep to escape the
relentless fury of his tormentors, but he was fol-
lowed and soon brought to the surface Deep
gashes could be seen in his sides and the blood
slowing freely. The fight was witnessed for near.
ly an hour, when the whale, in the agony of des-
pair started for the shore, finging himself upon
come lew rocks, and soon died from the effects Of
his wounds. Gashes two feet deep and six feet
long were made inthis sides Many people in
this city went to see him. He was between fif-

rose high enough to float him from the rocks.
