SLAPPED BY A WHALE.
Tho Remarkable Experience of Portland
Fisherman on tho Grand Banks.

Tho Remarkable Experience of n Portland
Fishermnn on tho Grand Banks.
There is probably only one Portland
fisherman who has had Il whale rise up
under him and slap him s,sy-high with
his tail. This is John Diminocll, now u
boatman in the barge Office, says the
Lewiston Journal.
Mr.. Dimmock was on the Grand
Banks and was line-fshing for cod.
Alone in his dory, which was anchored
about half mile from the schooner. he
was fishing, Illuminating and enjoying
life and his pipe nbout us thoroughly as
any fisherman can. lie had inst pullet,
up shark about six feet long, and was
rcbaiting his hook and wondering what
would happen next, when something as
tonishing did occur.
The dory commenced to move. at first
slowly, then rapidly. Mr. Dim,nocls
seized his knife and was just about cut
ting the anchor rope, to which the mys-
FERROUS motive power seemed attached,
when something still more astonishing
occurred. There came mighty crash,
the dory went into the air, and as the
unfortunate fisherman event down and
shut the door" he heard the "woosh''
of u whale blowing near.
DimmoclS had on heavy underwear,
thick clothes, long boots, and over all a
pctticoat, such rs many of the fisher
men wear. by great effort he managed
to kick off most of his clothing and
struggle back to the surface. Here he
was promptly and luckily grabbed by n
fellow fisherman and was dragged into
dory. The skipper, who had seen the
strange rumpus from the schooner's
deck, could scarcely believe his eyes and
brought home the Battered dory as u
