WHALES IN PRISON.
How They Are Sometimes Captured in Ice
bergs.

How They Are Sometimes Captured in Ice
bergs.
The whales that live in northern
waters in winter have often to scour
the seas through the widest storms in
search of food.
Sometimes they visit still regions at
the bottom of the deep, and if they fail
to find there cod. herring haddocll or
the other fishes upon which they prey,
they start for some arm of the sea or
bay where they are pretty sure of find
ing at least meal of herring.
When a gale blows very hard whales
get under the lee of some high cliff
where the water is calm, and frequently
take, shelter by the edge of some great
iceberg or piece of heavy ice foe
Sometimes large body of ice moves
landward, driving them before it, and
filling every nook along the coast.
When this happens, the whales are
unable to rise to the surface to breathe,
for Il northern ice-floe is SO thick that a
thousand legiOns of men might move
upon it with safety. The creature
therefore browns in a few minutes.
These facts bear upon something
that happened on the coast of Cape
Brenton. One morning early in April
a fragment of polar ics-hoe came in
sight. and the wind brought it rapidly
toward the shore. Some people watch
ing it We're surprised to see in a great
hollow on the inner edge, two huge
black objects.
AS the ice drew nearer these were
made out to be whales, They We're
evidently dead, for neither of them
made any movement. The ice was
wedged firmly around them, and they
lay side by side, the tail of one being
partly covered with ice. There was
scarcely water enough in their lev
prison to float them. and evidently not
enough for them to live in even had
they been able to get food there.
When the ice foe touched the iutting
point of headland it broke in two be-
tween the monsters, one part swinging
outward around the point and moving
seward, the other pushing into small
deep cove and carrying one of the
whales along.
The fishermen launched their boats,
mounted the foe and fastened grapnels
and stout hooks into the blubber of the
whale. The carcass was frozen hard
as the ice itself, and must have been in
it's prison for a considerable time The
ice remained pressed close to the shore
for several days, during which time the
fishermen were enabled to strip off the
fat with axes and sharp spades.
How were the whales thus imprisoned?
My own opinion is that in some
part of Batfin's Bay they had taken
shelter on che leeward side of an ice
foe which was probably aground.
During the storm the foe became broken
and the detached part swung round and
imprisoned them. The mass afterwards
froze together, and when the current
began to set strongly towards the south
in March, the ice and its captives drift
ed off, at last reaching the Cape Brcnton
coast. Companion.
