Richard Treadwell sat moodily on a bench,

out with me for q good days fishing of Port

house and dropped anchor, Will dropping
his line OF the port side, Fred of the star
board side and mine off the stern. We agreed

tree of expense of boat, which was SO. or 81
apiece. After about two hours of medit .tion
Will. on the starboard side, had a yank at his
line and commenced to haul up" much to
our disgust but before his line was IN Fred
had a bite at his line. and they both began to
haul in double quick tim which made me
feel blue but a su sden halt of both their
lines stopped the fun, as neither one could
pull in his fish, and both vowed they could
feel il. which proved that both had hooked
the same fish und that their lines met half
way under the boat. 1T was no little fun TO
see the two fellows struggling 10 land the
fish. 1t was SO amusing that l forgot my
line. and when ] went TO il / was dazed to

of the coast of Florida, going south. we sud.
denly experienced a terrible shock which
brought the ship to a dead stop. All hands
were OF deck in nc time, and o panic was
imminent among the passengers, as it was
supposed that we had grounded or struck q
rock. A hasty examination showed that
we had struck an immense sleeping
right whale. The ship backed water tor
some time. hut we were fast. and were not
