A MODERN JONAH.
Experience of a Sailor WHO WINS Caught i,
u Whales Jaw,

Experience of u Sailor WHO Wns Caught in
Whales Jaw,
j. w. Kiesler, late commanders clerk.
United States navy, now a resident of
Honesdale. Pa, told the following story tn
a Philadelphia Press reporter of IL very re-
markable experience OF nm American sailor
with a whale. He says: George Leonard.
an acting master in the United States navy
during the civil war, and stationed on board
the gunboat Katahdin, west gulf blockaa-
ing squadron. in 1863, told n story of hero
ism and exhibited marks on his body that
oorroborated his words. The year 1861
found Leonard as one of the crew ON the
ship Enterprise, q whaler in the moth
Pacific.
One day he was stationed IN the bow of
a whaleboat, q long distance from the ship,
with q brave crew who had sighted q VIII liz
end made for the monster with oil possible
dispatch. When within proper distance
Leonard throw the hnrpoon, striking tho
fish hard and deep. In some manner the
line, as 1t was running out, caught the
body OF one Of the men in such q way as to
throw him overheard. The man suddenly
sank. whereupon Leonard transferred his
line to a boatmate and sprang into the
ocean in aid Of the drowning sailor. The
whale, now maddened by his fast flowing
blood, made q 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
p%rotrudinR but one Of his arms. In this
manner the man was in reality within the
jaws Of death itself. The whale instantly
plunged into the deep and, in the words of
Leonard himself, "the fish seemed to be 90
ing down, down into eternity ITSELF"
The imprisoned man, after all this, had
not lost his presence OF mind. He mus
tered his entire bodily strengthened he
was a powerful man-actually Lracing him.
eelf il such position as TO compel the
fish to spread it's jaws. At the same time,
with hts arm that was free, he grabbed the
sheath knife ont of its socket, cutting
right and left. No sooner was there a suf-
fcient opening made Than Leonard forced
his body outside. Up to the surface he
swam, whom. most strange to say, he found
himself within an arms length Of his boat.
He was saved. The marks Of the whales
violence and the deats of its teeth were
very plainly visible on Leonard's arms, and
he was always pointed out by his brother
naval officers as tine second JONAH"

New Haven had q snap with the Hamilton
team of the international league yesterday
afternoon and defeated them by score Of IL
to 10. The visitors played Q wretchsd game
in the field. They could not even
hold thrown ball, let alone trying to stop q
erounder. Homer and Terrien started in as
the battery of the home team and for i've
innings they did well. "Natty Jack" held
them down to five hits and showed that he
could pitch If required. Then Manager
Burnham gave him rest and put In Doran
and Hofford. Doran did not hurt himself
any, and the consequence was the visitors
touched him up for four hits, and along with
two bases on balls and wild pitch 1t netted
the visitors Eve runs. But he did all right,
for there was no need of sailing in and pitch
ing his arm off when the team had lead of
twelve runs. Doran, however, showed what
he could do by striking them all out in the
next inning.
About 700 spectators viewed the game
that is to say, about five innings of 1t, fol-
the bad plays of the Hamilton team were too
much for the hardened "cranks," and they
commenced to leave the grounds when the
game was half over. The weather also had
q dampening effect on their enthusiasm, fol
1t was rather dissgreeable day for q ball
game. A strong wind blew in from the
field, making 1t hard to judge flies: Clouds
Of dust blew in from the field into the grand
stand and made 1t decidedly uncomfortable
for the occupants.
For the home team "Snap" Lang did
great work. He had nine chances and &C
cepted them all without an error. "Snap'

but what he lacked In weight he made up in
quickness and kept his larger opponent
guessing.
ing: T. G.. Sherman, G. Teichert, s. g.
Christie.
In this event T. G.. Sherman distanced all
his competitions. After the jump he gave an

and they showed the effsct of good training
and practice.
In the sparring bout, which came next,
between w. O. Ward and Q. K. Hutchinson
the honors were carried off by Mr.. Ward, who
proved to be the hardest hitter.
The next was fencing bout between @. 8.
Roberts and 81. Schleussel for points. The
winner was Mr.. Schlsussell, who made seven
points, which was the number required to
get in order to win. Mr.. Roberts pressed
him closely, however, and made six points.
Mr.. Christie then gave an exhibition of
high kicking. He kicked the tambourine 30
hard that the bottom of it came out. Mr..
Christie did not wish IL known how high the
kick was but 1t IL generally known that
