HUNDREDS OF WHALES.

II would swear that we saw, not q
hundred, but hundreds hundreds OF
whales-genuine sperm whales. II

ever beheld. Now, see here! / am
not telling this for the sake of telling
a big story, but because believe its
publication may put some whalers on
the track of making something hand
some. The facts are big enough in
themselves, and need no enlargement
from me-"
The speaker was Capt. Brandburg
OF the brig William Phipps, which
arrived from Aux Cages with cargo
OF logwood-a weather beaten old
tar, who is known everywhere in New
York nautical circles. The rest of
the crew corroborated his story, which
is as follows: A few days ago, when
about eighty miles east by south of
Cape Henry, the brig sighted school
of whales. AS they forged slowly
northward the number kept increas
ing until the water seemed fairly
alive with the enormous creatures.
For three days the brig had them in
sight, many Of them coming within
gunshot of the vessel, and furnishing
a target for the captains rife, q
species of sport which furnished him
much amusement and did no damage
to the whales. There were literally
several hundred of the whales, which
were of the sperm varieties. They
were TRANQUILITY swimming around in
a circle, and were apparently looking
for good feeding ground Tvs
days after the sperms had passed ont
OF sight the brig encountered quite
good-sized school of hump back
whales.]lNew York Herald.
