! . killed by q whale on the southwest coast
of South America, Dec g. lS4z aged % years
The whaling ship Arabella sailed
from Sag Harbor on August 8, 1847.
She fell in with a lot of sperm whales
on December following off the south
west coast of South America, says the
Honesdale, Pa, correspondent of the
New York Sun. Three big fellows
had been killed, and the boat com
mandcd by Second Mate Salmon
started in pursuit of the fourth. Sal
mon was a native of Honesdale. They
got close enough to the whale for the
harpooner launch his harpoon
successfully at the monster. Before
the crew of the boat could pull away
the wounded monster struck an up
ward blow with its terrible fluke. The
boat was lifted out of the water sew
eral feet, so high that it turned en-
tirely over in the air. The men drop
ped in the water. Salmon fell near
the furious whale, still having his oar
in his hands. The whale rushed upon
him with its tremendous jaws wide
open and engulfed both Salmon and
his oar. It was the oar that saved
Salmon for that time. Tho whales
jaws came together on the oar which
stuck out on one side of his jaws SO far
back near the hinges of the jaw that
it kept the huge mouth from closing
sufficiently to crush the seaman. Before
the whale could change the situation
Salmon jumped from his mouth into
the sea. Another boat, in which was
the brother of Salmon, who was also
sailor on the Arabella, had come up
by this time, and Salmon succeeded in
reaching it and was rescued from the
whale. But his safety was only mo-
mentary, for the whale treated this
boat us 1t had the other. Salmon was
thrown into the water near the whale.
as he had been a few minutes before.
Tho whale took him in at once. This
time Salmon had no oar to stay the
monsters jaws, and they closed upon
him like gigantic trap. Tho whale
went down out of sight. and none OF
the crew ever saw it or their shipmate
again.
The story of the SEQ tragedy, the
memory OF which is perpetuated by
the stone at the tenantless grave In
the Honesdale cemetery, is recalled
by recent visit to this village OF the
brother of Johnathan Salmon, who
was with him on that fatal voyage,
the brother having been for many
years a conductor on the Erie railway.
Tho grave was made and the stone
erected in 1S49. in which year the
surviving brother returned with the
news OF the others death.
