A letter has been received from the
steward Of the schooner II. Il. Griffin,
Capt. George Nelson. now absent on

they have met With an unusual ex-
perienee. viz, that OF being towed by

day when all the doIies were out at

steward were ON board as usual, look

on the doTies. when all at once they
felt a sudden jerk, and soon the
vessel was going through the water

fisherman, but this was something
so uncommon, vessel dashing
through water az rapid rate with her
sails fuFied and anchor down, that
they began To look alarmed. Suddenly
the cause made itself manifest, when
a m0nstrous whale arose to the sur
face, with the anchor fast in his Jaw or
biow-hole. He tore through the water
az high-prcssure rate, and was fast
taking the craft out OF sight of the
dofies. thus leaving the crews ex-
posed and besides this there was
der. The only remedy was 10 cut the
cable. This vas done, and his whale
ship went ol with the anchor in tow.
