NJ. George Roy, officer Of the watch
en- board the Maggie .. Moore, Is our
authority for the following remark
able incident which occurred about 700
miles north northwest Of Cape Flattery.
He states that the attention Of the crew
was simultaneously directed or attracted
10 the existence OF blood floating on the
adjacent sea Speculation was rife as to
the immediate origin Of 30 strange spec
tacle, and a careful watch was kept to
ascertain II.
Eventually IL was found that a whale
was blowing and spouting on tho lee side
Of the schooner, where the blood was
first noticed, and partial solution of the
phenomenon was gained when a sword
fish darted up close, and following that
terror Of the seas came the enemy Of
whaledom, the thrasher Tor killer, as the
fish Is sometimes designated). The
thrasher spraEg from the water some
ten feet into the air, and with pene-
trating crash alighted upon the whale.
A fierce conflict ensued, and the re-
suit was that the whale appeared to be
exhausted from the attack the thrasher
made upon him. Recovering himself,
however, the whale, after several efforts,
succeeded in diving below and came up
on the starboard side of the schooner.
The crew then took their whaling iron
and struck at the thrasher, but unfortu-
nately did not hit on a vital part. The
thrasher, following the whale, made
another savage attack on his victim, and
hit for a second time within the sight of
the crew. the whale appeared at this
juncture to be in extremities, and the
swordfsh, realizing the position, made
further attack at the common enemy and
stabbed the Jonah swallowing monster.
All was now over; the whales remain
ing strength was gone, and he was COM
PEELED to succumb to his fate with the
grace of a doubly assailed warrior of the
deep. After death he floundered ''topsy
turvy," and the thrasher was observed
to be Illustrating on the choicest parts of
the conquered dead. This is no mythical
story Of the sea, but an incident Of
peculiar interest to those who realize the
hostility existing between the thrasher
and the whale and the characteristics Of
the swordhsh. The latter knows no
danger. He does not discern between
floating hull and q buoyant whale. His
sword is bound to penetrate either ct all
hazards and risks to himself, and in this
respect he is similar to some misguid-
cd non-amphibious creatures. Victoria

Notwithstanding the emphatic warn
ings Of all experienced Arctic navigators,
and tho difficulties encountered on the
Alert expeditions, the projected route
from England through Hudson strait to
Fort Churchill continues to be discussed
in England and Canada; and quite
recently the establishment of line Of
steamers on this route was advocated by
no less an authority than Commodore A.
II. Markham, in a lecture delivered before
tho Royal Geographical society. AS he
failed, however, to disprove any of the
objections raised against the practicability
of this route, which are chiefly founded
on the always imminent danger of Fox
channel ice, his remarks fail to con-
vince us.
There is no doubt that powerful but
small steamers can accomplish the jour-
ney annually with comparative safety,
but this is far from being sufficient to
make the Hudson Strait practicable
trade route. The premium on this route
would have to be enormously high on
account Of the great number of dam
gers to navigation, and at all seasons
the steamers would be liable to long
delays. Sir Charles Upper, who was
present at this discussion, did not take
as favorable q view as Markham,
while DR.. Rao condemned the plan as
wholly untenablc 1t seems somewhat
surprising to see it again revived after its
impracticability appeared to have been
proved by the results Of tho Canadian
Hudson Bay expeditions. Science.

TUGS or WAR.

The new Navy, Including the iron
ships Of the old Navy, Is COMPOSED Of
th.rty.one vessels, and it is proposed
10 increase the number to seventy
FIVE, so that there are forty-four ves-
sells yet to be built, which will require
about eight years. In the number Of
ships there will be no more than there
were forty years ago. When the YES
sells now building are ready to be
turned over TO the Government, their
ornaments will be ready fot them.
The Yorktown will be ready JAN
uaTy 1st, next, the Philadelphia, San
Francisco and Newark in fifteen
months; the Maine in three y ears, the
Texas in three years, the Concord
and Bennington in ten months, the
Petrol on January LIST next, The We
suvius in six weeks, and a frst-class
torpedo boat in ten months. Besides
them the double-turreted monitors
Monadnock, Miantonomah, Terror,
Amphitrite and Puritan, are to be
entirely rebuilt, which will require
three years. The passage Of the bill
to organize a naval reserve will en-
able the country to establish the nu-
cleus of an auxiliary navy drawn
from our merchant marine ard yacht
ing vessels. 1t will stimulate the
building of steamships suitable for
conversion into men-of-war. 1t will
revive the interest in nautical life,
and the ambition to see the old flag
restored to its rightful place on the
sea.

What pity it is that the travellers who
penetrate into the heart Of Africa arc not,
as q rnle, musical enough to notate the
songs which are so interesting among
those little known but very interesting
and musical tribes. SO far rs we know
Schweinfurth has been the only musical
traveller who had gone far into the dark
continent, and many of Lis musical
memoranda were destroyed by fire before
he emerged from Africa. There is much
that may be discovered in cthnology by
tracing tho melodies Of a primitive peo-
pie, and many points connected with the
rise of music may be infcrcntially &C.
tCrmined by this means.
Besides this, the Central Africans are
known to be very fond of music. livery
traveller to that country carries long
music box or two as propitiary presents
to hostile kings; the jewsharp has home
in Central Africa and is greatly priced
there, and Sir Samuel Baker says that a
man travelling through Africa with a
hand organ would lie as safe as enc hav-
ing guard of soldiers with him. Per-
haps Africa may yet give q composer or
