SURROUNDED BY WHALES.
What Was Seen in a Voyage From
Savannah 10 New York.

The schooner NJ B. Millen, laden with
lumber arrived at New York a few DAYS
since from Savannah. Her master. Captain
Young, makes the following report of an in
cident of the voyage:
while in dead calm and smooth sea, was
surrounded by a school of whales, as far as
the eye could reach; they were seen
coming to the surface and blowing;
they came in such close proximity
to the vessel that they could be reached from
the deck with a common harpoon, and in
several instances within two feet of the YES
sells side, squirting the water against the side,
and lying perfectly still for several minutes
at a time; they then rolled leisurely over and
sank down tail foremost, until they would
stand perpendicular in the water, so that their
full length and size could be as nearly esti-
mated as though they had been on dry land /;
they swan around the vessel for about three
hours, and seemed to be holding a complete
survey of her, and did not seem to be in the
least shy as we threw several pieces of wood
at them, and i'm one instance heavy chunk
OF oak was thrown at one and struck him on
the end of his nose; he threw his flukes high in
the air and made grand display of foaming
water as he went under, but came up imme-
diately after and swan clear to the side and
lay for some minutes, then rolling over sew
eral times sculled leisurely away to the east
ward; it was magnificent sight, the ocean
being as clear as mirror and not ripple to
obstruct the view.
"The whales were in size about thirty-hve
to forty feet in length; square blunt head
eyes small about three feet below the top of
the head, and well back from the end of the
nose, near the jaw. Their blow was low and
somewhat resembled water thrown from a
| sprinkler; a small round fin ON the back, and
| square fuke; the heads were about five or six
! feet in depth, and the after parts much
smaller in proportion. We could have
easily harpooned a dozen or more of these
monsters, but after our experience with the
piece of oak we feared TO wound any of them,
as | am satisfied that one clip of their fiukes
against the side of the vessel would have
shaken us up considerably, After watching
their movements for about three hours, a
light breeze sprang up, and we sailed away
home from the school, which did not seem TO
be making any Roadway to either point of the
compass"
