A BATTLE WITH WHALES.
Two of the Huge Creatures Slain After
Most Exciting Combat

About a week ago Peter Warner
and a fisherman started out on fish
ing excursion in q small boat. They
carried with them Winchester rifle
and shotgun, in order to possibly
bag some of the game that abounds
in the laguna, which extends some
three miles inland from the shore and
from hence it is necessary to embark.
They had rowed out but a few miles
when two whales of the bottle-nosed
species were espied short distance
from the boat Mr.. Warner immedi-
ately grasped his rifle, fired and APP
parently wounded one of them. In
furiated, the monsters lashed the
water into loan and made desperate
efforts to reach them. After a second
and third shot vital spot in one of
them was reached and only one was
left to combat with. He then began
firing at the remaining one, but,
though wounding it several times, it
seemed utterly impossible to seriously
disable it. 1t made the most furioas
attacks upon them, and, with distena
ed jaws, it seemed at times as if about
to engulf boat and all Twelve shots
were fired into it and still it continued
its onslaughts. 1t slashed and foamed,
spreading heavy spray IN all direc-
tions, and nothing but the most skill
full management kept the boat at a
safe distance from its fury Now and
then it would plunge under the water,
endeavoring to get under the boat
and send it skyward, but the steady
''old salt" managed each time to whirl
the boat beyond its reach.
The situation was growing serious,
as the cartridges in the rifle were ex-
hausted, and it seemed well nigh inn
possible to reload while the monster
was making such furious attacks.
While attempting it, sudden on
slaught of the whale made it necessary
to use the shotgun, and Mr.. Warner
fired hastily, discharging both loads
right into the face of the monster. 1t
was a most fortunate shot, as it took
effect in the eyes of the whale and
must have totally blinded it. The
pain served to Increase its ferocity,
but its efforts were now futile, and it
was an easy matter to row a safe dis
tauce, when the rifewas re loaded and
the beast killed at leisure.

appeal To your patriotism and sober
common sense TO oppose the re-elec-
nothing for party or principle he sub
ordInates every public interest to his
own aggrandizement Shonld he be
again elected, the democratic party as
a mass would be held responsible
for his administrative acts and eccen-
tricitieS of the past and future, while
no responsibility attaches to us for
any other acts of Mr.. Robinson. Such
being our belief, we cannot hesitate
TO declare we intend to do all that
may be in our power to secure the
defeat of Gen. Butler, and we urge
all democrats 10 JON with us i'll such
action. The Herald says il was an
