The bomb struck the great head Of the
monster on the bone above the left eye,
and exploded on the outside, doing no

on the captains boat. That boat being
free, avoided the rush, and then

boat The captain FASTENED 10 the scene
again and drew the whales attention
from the mate. who, being fast TO the
bowhead, could not handle his boat, and
was at the whales mercy. The coming
of the captain started the enraged levi
athan after him again, and the mate
urged him 10 let him cut the harpoon line
and make their escape from the ugly
monster. But the captain was as mad S
the whale, because of his lost whaleboat
and his badly damaged vessel, and swore
that he would conquer the whale, or go
down before him with every man.
"Three different times the captains
boat drew the whale away and saved the
mate and his crew. At the fourth time

furious rush on the mate, and | thought
our fate was sealed With a less expe-
rienced and true-handed sailor than our
captain 1t would have been sealed, too, in
a very few seconds more. The whale
charged right upon US, and his
giant fiukes were in the air, to swoop
down and crush us beneath their
mighty and irresistible sweep, but that
gave the plucky captain the chance he
wanted, He drove the hand lance into
the whale clear to its Selling, and the
monster fell back into the water between
the two boats, neither one escaping by
more than yard. The captains plunge
with the hand lance had been true to its
merk. Both boats backed away from the
struggling whale. He dashed the sea into
foam and whirled about in an aimless and
bewildered manner. Presently he sent
up spout of water that was red with
blood, and a lusty shout went up from
score of Threats. Every man knew that
it was all over with the ugly foe. In a
few minutes he turned over on his side,

To keep up with the progress of the

Logan is foremost among the caterers in
the city of Savannah His enterprise in
bringing the choicest beef and mutton
from the west and also supplying his

season supplies, is appreciated throughout
the city His splendid management of
the business of promptly supply families
with good qualities is feature which at
tracts the admiration of all patrons.
The latest addition to LoganS enter
prise is the sale of Silver Churn butter
inc Butterine is whole some from
scientific standpoint, as is abundantly
evidenced by the expressions of DR..
Howard E. Ames of the United States
navy. This well informed physician says:
The reason it is not a more common diet
is because of a popular prejudice,
founded largely upon imagination and
and careless statements made by many
uniformed persons. The nutritious
value is fully equal to that of butter. 1t
IS much cheaper, and when properly
made will remain sweet and fit for con-
sumption much longer. The manufacture
of butterine is much cleaner than the
manufacture of butter. | have recon-
mended its use for the regular rations Of
the army and navy and am satisfied that
1t is a better article of food than butter
1t should be more generally used and not
looked upon as an inferior article and
makeshift for butter when it is really

Pacific express car attached to west
bound Missouri Pacific train near Pacific,
Mo-, on the night of May 26, was capt
ured at the home of his parents near Leb-
anon, Mo, last night. Wilson has made
q clear confession. He said that he
robbed the express car in order to secure
money with which to pay mortgage on
his fathers farm. When asked why IL
was that he left his valise, which was
the key to his capture, near the robbery,
he said: 1T was my intention to
bring the train to a halt where
the valise had been placed by me. l could
not gauge exactly where the train ran,
owing to the light that was coming from
the cab of the engine / thought that |
was at the place where my valise was,
but l afterward found that ! was mis-
taken. Consequently, after finished the
job l made haste to get away, | am now
satisfied to go to the penitentiary, as
intend to plead guilty. / want to learn
better trade than that of
telegraphing for making a liveli-
hood, and it is for this reason
that 1 want to go to the penitentiary,
In reference to the money dumped in a
cornfield near the scene of the robbery,
Wilson says he had placed it there for the
purpose of securing him a lighter sentence
In case he was captured. Wilson was
formerly employed as telegraph operator
along the line of the st. Louis and San
Francisco railroad.
