IN A WHALES JAWS,
Remarkable Experience of an American
Sailor In tho North Pacific

George Leonard en- acting master in the
United States navy during the civil war,
and stationed on the gun-bont katahlin,
West Gulf blocladinG squadron, in 1868,
told story O. horoisn and exhibited marks
on his body that corroborated his words,
says letter in the Philadelphia Prcss. The
year 1850 found Leonard as one of the
crew OF the ship Enterprise, a whaler, in
the North Pacific. One day he was stationed
in the bow of whale-boat, q long distance
from the ship with brave crew, who had
sighted a whalo and made for the monster
with all possible dispatch. When within
proper distance Leonard threw his harpoon,
striking tho fish hard and deep In some
manner the line, as it was running out,
caught the body of enc of the men in such
a way as to throw him overheard The man
suddenly sank, whereupon Leonard trans
ferred his line to u boatmate and sprang in-
to the ocean in aid of the drowning sailor.
The whale, now mnddened by his fast
flowing blood, made rush for the boat
Remarkable and horrible to relate, Leon
ards friend had managed to regain the
boat, while he himself was caught by the
whale between its jaws, his position being
inside the monsters mouth, with nothing
Dut oHo VI MS ai hiS III WIS
manner the man was in reality within tho
jaws of death itself. The whale instantly
plunged down into the deep, and. IN the
words OF Leonard himself, "the fish seemed
to be going down, down into eternity
itself"
The imprisoned man, after all OF this, had
not lost his presence of mind. He mustered
his entire bodily strength-and he was a
powerful man-actually bracing himself in
such position as to compel the fish to
spread its jaws; at tho same time, with his
arm that was free, he grabbed the sheath
knife out of its socket cutting right and
left. No sooner was there sufficient OPEN
Ing made than Leonard forced his body
outside.
Up to the surface he swan, when, most
strang SO to say, he found himself within an
arms length of his boat. He was saved.
The marks of tho whales violence and the
dents of its teeth were very plainly visible
on Leonard's arms, and he was always
pointed out by his brother naval officers az

Recently there was an UNUSUAL and highly
successful hydraulic Performance at the Nor
folk navy yard in getting the heavy war
ship Baltimore of the lump of mud where
she had Embedded herself about four feet
when fret moored. Capt. G. S. Norton. the
practical executive officer of the yard. had
one of the powerful steam FIRE engines oftbe
government taken to the dock, snd a diver
was cent down with the hose. a powerful
stream of water was then directed against
the lump, and in the course of an hour or
TWO the whole bank of mud, several feet
thick, along the Keel was scattered, and the
monster ship was slast in % feet of water.
This suggests the idea that any great steam

she ran on shore on a sandy or muddy bot
tom, be able to dig herself out with her
steam hose. Capt. Norton has had much
experience of this kind.

! Correspondence of the ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE
RICHMOND, Va, Jan. % The bill to
csde to the Uoited States of America juris
diction over the tract of territory between
the south end Ct the Aqneduct bridge in tie
county Of Alexandra, and Mount Vernon,
in the county of Fairfax, for the purpose OF
constructing a public road or avenue to be
known as the Mount Vernon Avenue, and
for other purposes, will be opposed when ii
comes up IN it's first stages 10 the House.
The opposition is bassd upon the grounds
that the States interests ere not as well
cared for 10 the bill as they should be, or in
other words, the States jurisdiction aud the
Uoited States jurisdiction should DO more
succinctly explained. Mr.. Hume, who has
given the bill careful scrutiny, says it WIS
drawn by Gen. Hunton and ex-Gov. Wells
and that they were very particular with H..
The third section of the bill provides that
the property shall not become the property
of the national government until work shall
have been commenced by the United States
on the avenue. This MIR. Hume thinks
should satisfy all parties.
