BUOYING A WHALE.
Natives of Siberian Coast Make Sink.
ing impossible and Then Kill Him.


Natives of Siberian Coast Make Sink
ing impossible and Then Kill Him.
From the Son Francisco Chronicle.
Capt. e. ]. Clifford of the whaling bark
Triton, which arrived In port on Friday,
relates the particulars Of an interesting
whale hunt OF which he was a witness. The
natives OF that region are people OF low in
telligence, their chief employment being the
capture OF inhabitants of the waters that
wash the Siberian coast. These people have
become experts in the vocation that fur
nishes them with the necessaries Of life. The
story as told by Capt Clifford is as follows:
"We had been lying at anchor for several
Gays IN small and almost land-locked bay,
and had done some little trading with the
Inhabitants OF a village about half a mile
inland. One morning all hands were
awakened by great hubbub on shore, the
cause Of which was the presence of a school
OF sperm whales three or four miles outside
the harbor. In a short time ten canoes,
put OF and made straight to where an oc-
casional jet Of water marked the spot where
The big fellows were sporting.
II was good deal puzzled to know how
those fellows we're going TO capture one of
those huge animals, which is by no means
an easy prey TO the best trained boats crew
supplied with all the modern appliances.
Aho bodbo hepb CiOS6 together ana ap-
preached the school with great caution.
When within about 300 yards of the nearest
whale the canoes separated, and as the big
fellow came up to blow they rapidly closed
IN from three sides at once The whale by
this time was lazily rolling in the trough of
the sea, apparently naware of the approach
OF bis enemies. So well-timed was the APP
proaoh of the canoes that they were all in
easy reach Of the whale when the leader
gave the signal to throw the harpoons. In
moment at least thirty harpoons were
sticking from the shiny back OF the whale,
and the canoes shot back out of reach of
the big fiukes In less time than il takes 10
tell it.
"And here comes the strange part Of the
performance Attached to each harpoon
were about 200 feet of line, and on the end
Of each line were reindeer skins inflated
with air. In one OF two instances casks
were attached to the lines. You can
imagine the situation. Here was the whale
with enough buoys attached TO him to float
a ship, and when he attempted TO sound he
would be brought to the surface again only
TO receive a shower of hand lances from
the canoes. The sport did not last long,
and four hours from the time the canoes
left the beach they lowed the whale IN
and Elen and women were at work outing
him up"

Is THE GRIP COMING ?
What the Indications Are Concerning It
Abroad

Abroad
Reports from Europe which are appearing in
the papers show that the grip has broken out
in most violent form in England, sud the in
dications are that it is commencing its fourth
annual tour of the world. The physicians here
in America report many people suffering from
symptoms which indicate the coming OF this
terrible scourge. While there may not as yet
be an epidemic, there are enough cases and
enough serious cases TO demand the greatest
care and caution. The p-overO, TN time OF

valuable sayings ever uttered. The grip, with

There is but one way TO prepare for the COM

system, build up the energies, strengthen the
life, and thus avoid its attacks by being thor
oughly prepared for them. This cannot, how
ever, be done except in one way: That way is
by the use OF some pure stimulant, which will

Savannah has for years. with one break

Of being the second cotton port of the Amer

Savannah began early in the cotton trade.
There is a dim tradition that she sent of a
bag Of cotton in 1879. But her first bale
was exported in 1888 by Thomas, dubbed
Cotton" Miller, the sole buyer then.
In 1925 is the first record of her cotton
exports, $4,000 bags. Georgia lead in cot

Savannah can become the first cotton
port of the United States.
Savaunah's growth in commerce and

and were not known until the deep water

board of trade told the tale to the country
awakening wide interest, which has been
kept mp by the direct trade agitation.
The cotton trade is Savannah's strongest
commercial point, which fortifes her sur

BADLY MIXED UP.
Collision of a Bicycle with Road Cart and
Is a Wagon.

On the Eastern Promenade last evening about
z o'clock there was disastrous collision which
looked rather ugly to the bystanders. George
Blades was driving along in his road cart and in
front of him a man and a woman in one of
Isaiah Lords wagons. Several bicycles
were passing along, when suddenly
one of them, ridden by George Schofeld of Par
ris street, swerved and dashed against Blades
road cart. The horse became unmanageable
and turned complete somersaut, colliding
with the Lord wagon and throwing the man and
woman out. For time there was great con
fusion. The bicycle had been smashed to
pieces and Schofield had been badly cut about
the head. The man in the Lord team was
bruised, but the woman was unhurt. The road
cart and the wagon were both considerably
damaged

THREE WERE KlLKED.
Firemen Buried Under Falling Wall in
Albany, N. Y.

ALBANY, N. Y, December 20.-This
afternoon a terrific explosion occurred
in the elevator shaft of the Fort Orange
Milling Company's building. facing on
the river front and backing on the Erie
canal basin. Sparks set fire to the grain
and flour. Before an alarm could be
sent in, the entire structure was mass
of flames. Charles B. Wolverton, a
member of the firm, was in the office,
and before he could get OUT was burned
in horrible manner. When the fremen
got to work, it was seen that the build
ING was doomed, and their efforts were
directed to saving the canal boats and
steam tugs laid up in the basin, which
had taken fire from the falling .timbers.
After two hours hard work, the fire was
under CONTROL The total loss will not
exceed $4,000. 1t is thought to be par
tally covered by insurance.
Shortly after p. M, the east wall 60
feet high, toppled over, and buried seven
firemen under eight feet OF debris. Three
were killed and two seriously injured,
one of whom may die. The other two
were not badly hurt.
