An account from Morehead City, n.
O., of March 18th, says:
"On Tuesday there was the most ex-
citing and dangerous whale fight that
has ever occurred on this coast. 1t was
with some difficulty that the captain of
the crew could get his men to obey or
ders. When the first bomb was fired
into the whale it failed to explode, but
it made the whale furious, and he struck
one of the boats and threw it some feet
above the water. The captain then fired
another bomb. This also failed to ex-
plode. The fight was still getting more
furious. The third bomb was fired and
exploded near the heart. This conquer
ed the monster The blood spouted
about ten feet high, and as the crew
rushed up to stick their lances in the
whale, the blood fell in showers upon
them and their boats. The fight was wit
messed by another crew stationed about
seven miles from them. The whale was
forty-two feet long, and extremely fat.
The fish will probably bring aboat 5000"
