tanning Summer Visitors.
A number OF ancient fishermen
were telling stories Of their early days
in the quaint little village of Sinscon-
set There we're n number Of sum
mer visitors in the room. and they
seemed to enjoy the yarns which
were being spun immensely. Finally
an old. dried-up man. with a purple
wen on his neck and handful OF
white chin wliskerS said:
Talk about tho whaling days IN

when the whales were so thick around
here that it was Il common thing for
them to crawl upon the shore 10 SUI
themselves.
How long ago was that2" asked
an anxious by stander.
About forty years ago. replied
the old man and in those DAYS the
whales had oil in them, too. that was
worth talking about l have seen
them tap a whale and by the time the
oil was out OF him there didn't seem
10 be skin enough left to cover a base

What do you mean by non -explo-

handed the hoary grandsire OF Sias

himself
i mean" replied the SiascOn eter.
as he handed the flask back with a
smile that the whales used TO be SO
full Of oil that if you put n wick in
one of them and it it it would burn
for almost six months"
The crowd be anne very attentive
as the old man continued.
We used to burn chunks OF whale
in the stove and it made the finest
fire you ever saw. We had the whale.
or part o one hanging up like q
sheep in the ba K yard. and when
ever we wanted to start n fire We
would .ust step out with a Ratchet
chop a chunk or two that would fit
the stove"
Have another drink,' interrupted
the man with the flask.
Don't mind if do " replied the
ancient Siasconseter.
Here he took Il GOO pull and.
handling the flask back continued ir
a sad. reflective tone

His end was very sad.
How did he die?" asked a by

And the whale bit him in half be-

Not much; the whale was deal
Then how could he have killed

liberately; he dropped a spark by
accident out OF his pipe and it fell
upon the whale The whale cx-

scattered my friend from Siascousei
to Tuckahoe. As it was night the
ocean was lighted up for miles and

thought Nantucket was having it.

Siasconscter looked around, 20 find
that all his hearers had slipped softly
away the summer visitors in all
probability overcome by his grace
full easy going style of dealing with
the truth and his compatriots sick &c
the core with envy.
