A Remarkable Incident i'm the Life

| A Remarkable Incident I'm the LlIe
of Tom Starr, the Indian
Desperate.
ARDMoRE, /. t., November 5.-The
remarkable career OF old Tom Starr,
the notorious Cherokee desperado,
which has lately appeared in print,
recalls an incident in his life, the
plainest statement of which sounds
like a romance. Bill West was old
Toms brother-in-law, the most power
full man of his day in the Cherokee
Nation. A blow from his fist was as
deadly as q Winchester bullet. With
this formidable weapon he killed sew.
eral men and law was. passed de-
claring Bills fist a deadly weapon
Old Tom and Bill has been close COM
panions, but one one day they quar-
relied over the division of the spolis
of plunderlng expedition. West
struck at Starr, but the willy savage
lodged the blow and at the ga ne
time deity placed long, keen knife
blade between the formers ribs. This
was the tragic end of Bill West. At
this there was q reward of $1,000 Of
tered for Vests head and $1,000 for
that of Starr. Old Tom was in need
of ready cash and determined to
run the risk of losing his own
head by trying to secure the reward
on that of his brother-in-law. o,after
killing West, he cut off his head, put
1t in a gunny bag and proceeded TO
Tahlequah, the genital, where he pre-
sented his CORY charge to the Chief,
with the proof that 1t was the right
head, and demanded the reward. The
Chief and the Treasurer are both old
men, and they knew old TOMS repu-
tation. They also knew that the re-
ward on Vests head was only $1,000
while that for old Toms was $500.
But Starr was there himself, and
meant business. At the muzzle of
six-shooter the Treasurer forked over
the So, 900, and old Tom,departed with
the money, to the delight and aston
ishment OF the people of Tahlequah,
without killing single person.

Violent velocity until at least four hum

stopped short. The whale was suIking.
For twenty minutes we waited, keeping

HOW TO ROAST A DUCK.

In choosing ducks for roasting, get
those with thick yellowish feet and plump
bodies. Dress the same as a chicken, but
to insure tenderness they should hang a
day or two before using, if the weather
will permit. Make a stufing of bread
crumbs well buttered, and season with
pepper salt, sage, or thyme, a little very
finely chopped onion and n egg. Mix
all together lightly, stuff not very full,
sew up, tie so as to draw the legs close to
the body and throw up the breast. Roast
in a good oven and haste frequently.
Not long before serving, dEedge them
with flour. Young ducks pill cook in
from thirty to forty minute! old ones re-
quire from f~orty-fve minutes to an hour.
When done, make a brown gravy and
pour some of it around, but not over the
ducks; also, send some to the table in a
tureen. If the flavor of onion and sage
is not liked byall, one of the ducks should
be left unseasoned. 1t is always well to
parbo.l old ducks before roasting. Cur
rant Jelly, apple sauce, and green peas, if
obtainable, are nice accompaniment for
this roast. 1t is said the choice parts in
serving are the ''leg of swimmer and the
wing of a flyer" To emo the fish
flavor of wild ducks, parboil them with
an onion, or basic them for a few min
utes with hot water, to which has been
added some slices of onion. Afterward,
haste without using the Yankee

and so do sharks. I have read aboutthe
under lip of a whale being as good as
fresh beef and of the barnacles with which
thew are e~ncrusted being as juicy and
palatable as Blue Point oysters, but shiver
nv timbers if T wouldn't just as lief make
a meal on that other parasite which in
tests the whale, whose scientific appella-
ton I forget.
Now, during my long experience In
whaling no ship in which 1 sailed was
ever sunk by being struck by a whale,
but I know that such things have oc-
Cured, for wasn't Aminadab Simmons,
my old uncle, a shipmate of Captain De-
blois, of the Ann Alexander. Of New
Bedford, which very ship was sunk oy q
| blow from the head of a sperm whale!
And didn't l once have a long talk
with Tom Perry, the cooper of the Re-
becca Sims, also of New Bedford, which
captured the very whale which sank the
Ann Alexander, coming upon it three
months to a day after that event, as it was
living helpless on the top of the water,
| with its skull fractured and two har-
poons, marked Cam Alexander in its
| side2
never saw a mother whale take its
wounded calf in its fins and dive with 1t
out of reach of its pursuers, but | nave
heard a whale as it leapt out of the water
after being pierced with an iron, emit a
screech of such Mortified anguish as to be
comparable to nothing ever before heard
on earth. I and my boats crew heard it
and it scared us badly. All were old
hands in the business, but this was the
first time in our lives we had heard any
sound from the throat of a whale.
Modern whaling differs radically from
the old style which I have attempted to
portray above. There used to be great
sport in making fast to a sperm whale,
which is one of the great mammals in ma
lures huge m~enagerie.. Sperm whale fish
ing, according to the old time methods,
was a diversion fit for kings. In 1854, we
used only harpoons and ~lances, and there
was always an element of danger in the oc-
cupation which afforded excitement of the
most e~xhilarating kind. But killing
polar whales from swift steam launches

ply slaughter. There is as wide a diff
ference in the two pursuits as between
buffalo hunting On the prairies and kill
ing a steer in a Chicago abattoir.
The fleet of steam whalers plying out
of Dundee and San Francisco are fitted
with every appliance for the successful
and scientific butchery of Arctic whales.
The leviathan of the Scriptures, owing
to the keen way in which he has been
hunted, is becoming comparatively
scarce. The old whaling grounds are
barren, and particular spots in the Pacific
Ocean which used to abound with these
mighty monsters of the deep are de-
serted. There will come a time when. a
voyage to the Arctic after whales will
cease to be profitable, and that time is
not far distant. But the comparatively
unknown regions of the Antarctic Ocean
offer beunteous booty for men brave and
daring enough to encounter its perils.-

respected.

Our captains were lights of the church
when they were ashore and the old New
England merchants were proud to enter
tain them and give them their daughters
in marriage.
As soon as the welcome sound of
ttThar' she blows!" came from the main
| topgallant masthead all was hustle and
activity. The watch below tumbled up
on deck. The whale was only about
two miles distant to leeward, and after
squaring the yards to run toward it, our
boats were got ready for lowering.
When about half a mile to windward of
it this mainyard was backed and the bark
hove to. Then our five boats were low
cred and We pulled toward the whale,
which was lazily floating and giving suck
to a young "calf" whale. The mother
whale OF the sperm variety is very de-
voted to its offspring, and will fight saFS
agely to protect it.
Thus we knew that a hard tussle was
in store fer us and that we should have
to use the greatest wariness in approach
ing Madam Whale. If once she caught
| sight of us with those small green eyes of
hers in all probability she would attack
US, and if we were struck by her head or
dashed by her tail we all stood a good
chance of eating cur supper in Davy
Joness locker. The sperm whale is the
only variety which has teeth in its for
midable jews, and it has been known to
use them with very bad consequences to
a whale boats crew.
aPull easyi" shouted the boat steerer
as we got within a couple of cable
lengths Of the whale. The ~harpooner
had hold of his etoggle from with a
good hard grip. We were steering for
the stern of the whale, and every now
and again we could see one of the
ssfukes" Of her powerful tail Aurning
the water with slow and majestic stroke.
We knew that in o few minutes, if we
had luck, that enormous tail would be
lashing the waves with savage fury.
A few more strokes of the oars and the
boat steerer put the bow alongside of
Mrs. Whale. She had been too busy
| fondiing he. calf to take any notice of
our presence.
ssLet her have It, Jackr" yelled the
boat s~seerer, and before the words were
out of his mouth Jack had driven his
iron with terrific force into the side of
the immense beast.
aStern, ALL" was the next command,
and the oars bent as with brawny arms
and the crew backed the frail boat out
of the reach of that fearful fuke, one
stroke of which might send us all to
perdition. With a rush and a snort
through her blow holes the whale began
to asound, as the whalemen call driv-
ing.
The zinc rushed out of the tubs with
The Opelousas courier., 1890-03-01

And that was really a question OF vital
Importance. If she decided to do the
dive act a second time the whale was
lost to US forever. Many a whale has
saved its blubber, but not its life, by
pointing its snout for the bottom in its
death agonies. The popularity of a dy-
ing dive being that the whale doesn't
come to the surface again, probably for
months or years and possibly never.
This whale, however, was built ON
different lines. She died at the top OF
the water Ikea lady, causing us all to be
very thankful to her, as in duty bound.
We coiled up the lines in their tubs and
hauled the two boats close up alongside
the whale and waited. Our ship was
hull down to the eastward. and In the
light wind that prevailed it would take
some time for her to run down upon us.
We had no fear of the ship missing US,
for we knew that sharp eyes had watched
u movements from the crow's-nest, aud
that u course had been accurately OBJ
served.
Meanwhile, what had become of the
calf2
don't know. My opinion is that the
whale swallowed its calf to save it from
us. It was only q small specimen, and
as this mother whale had a outlet of large
size the feat might not have been I'M
possible.
Well, in good time the ship came run
ming down on us and by and by got along
side of the whale. We were very anxious
about the fate OF the boats crew hurled
into the air by the whale, and u first
inquiries were concerning them. They
had been shaken up and ducked, but
otherwise were uninjured. The boat was
too badly shattered to be used again,
aud she was worth at a low estimate
5000.
