whether or not whaling grounds can be

Alexander Mackenzie in 1889 practically
nothing new has been learned Of the great
sea-coast extending from Camden bay east

river.
Old whalers are skeptical about the sue
cess Of the scheme. II the Nicotine reaches
the river she will solve the question as to
what becomes Of great schools Of whales
that pass into the Artlc Sen IN the spring
and never return. The Nicotine is pro

has an experienced crew. She register
only forty tons and draws only five fee Of
