not before we were deluged with spray
and foam as the great flukes of the
monster flew high into the air, and his
body settled out of sight again.
The line attached to the harpoon
went whizzing through the chocks aus
the whale sounded; but he came up
again presently and we saw with de-
light that the water he was blowing
forth was streaked with bfood-a, sure
sign that he was fatally wounded The
next instant the creature tautened the
line and, furious with pain, started off
to the northeast at a. tremendous speed,
dragging us after him till the foam
flew in sheets from our bows.
An Unexpected Danger.
1t was immensely exciting, and we
gave the old fellow a cheer as we were
swept swiftly along, thoroughly enjoy
ing our impromptu ride.
So much interested had we been in
our pursuit that we had not observed
that black squadi was bearing right
down upon US, and in a few minutes
we found ourselves enVeloped in a
sharp gust of wind and spray and
rain that settled down over our course
like a, dense fog.
AS the squall struck us square in the
bows, there was, of course, an enorm-
Gus increase of strain for AN instant
upon the line. and, unable to bear it,
the rope parted with a, report like a
pistol. The boat at once waved round
to port, coming broadside to the wind,

was literally buried in the water, and
L was certain she would capsize. Two
of the oars flew overheard. and we
were half full of water in "a second.
Keep her head on!" cried Mate
Dingley, as he seized an oar and
strove desperately to help bring her
bow into the wind. ''You, Simms an
Carleton" he added, shouting to my
self and another, bail her out, bale
for your lives"
Overheard.
AS I bent over to bail with my hat,
a sea struck us. and I went headIong
over the gunwale into the sea like a
shot.
1t was done so quickly that before 1
had time to even cry out I was COM
pletely submerged, and when I came
up again was so blinded by the spray
that 1 couldn't see a yard from my
nose.
I shouted with all my might, but the
wind was bowling so fiercely that my
voice seemed like whisper; indeed
the words seemed to he blown right
back into my throat, whilst the salt
water was dashed into my mouth in
such sheets that L had to close it to
keep from being strangled.
Fortunately, 1 was a. sturdy young
fellow and a very fair swimmer; so
had no great difficulty in keeping
afloat, which was all l endeavoNed just
then to do, since it would be folly to
swim after a boat / could not see, and
of whose locality l knew nothing.
At first I was not at all bewildered,
nor can I say was very much
frightened, though of course excited;
but when fifteen minutes had elapsed,
and I discovered no signs of the boat
and heard no shouts from my COM
rades, I began to realize that was in
a desperate strait indeed. When ten
minutes later still, felt that the
buffeting of the waves was eXhausting
my strength rapidly, I grew half fran
tic and felt that my end was very near.
In Real Peril.
Presently, I received a sharp blow
against my side that hurt me not a lit
tie, and almost paralyzed me with ter
ror; for somehow the idea instantly oc-
CURED to me that it must be shark

Again the blow was repeated, and !
involuntarily threw out my left arm,
as if to protect myself from the mys-

changed to joy; for it was one Of our

of whales in sight, several miles dis
tant, a few points off the weather bow,
which news produced great commo-
ton on board, and everybody, from
skipper to cabin boy, was trembling
with excitement.
1t did not take long to get the boats
into the water, and the men went tum-
bling like mad over the rail and pre-
sently the boats were fully manned and
ready to start. 1t was my luck to be
in the port boat with Tom Dingley,
second mate, in command: and in
few minutes we were all three crews
racing at full speed through the water
in hot chase of the whales, each boat
striving to take the lead.
By and by, as we drew nearer the
leviathans, we saw that they were
some distance apart; so our boat, leav-
ing the others to take their own course
veered well to the right and made for
large bull whale, which was rolling
lazily in the swell of the sea.
Hitting the Mark.
"a hundred bar'l fish, if he's one!"
cried Tom Dingley, as he stood UP in
the stern sheets to get a clearer view
of the situation. Pull away, my hear
ties''
We bent to the oars and with long,
steady pulls, sent our boat swiftly for
ward, till the distance had been les
sened to one-eighth of a mile. When
all at once the mate cried out liz a
disappointed tone, What bad luck
the old fellow fuked!"
1 turned around just in time to see
the whales enormous fukes high in
the air, as his huge body went beneath
the surface.
We rested on our oars waiting for
him to rise. The mate scanned the
ocean eagerly. The other boats were
at least a mile away.
"Hurrahr' shouted Tom, after a
while. There he blows, only half a
mile dead ahead! Now is our chance,
lads. Give way briskly."
We pulled ahead vigorously, stimu-
lated by the mates CHEEKY tones, and,
as we drew near the huge monster,
Dfngley crept forward and signalling
us to row softly, got the harpoon ready
TO throw.
THE game did not see us, for he
moved leislurely along, showing no
signs of alarm.
Presently the right moment arrived,
and bracing his legs firmly against the
forward thWart, the mate, with all his
strength and skill, hurled the harpooIl,
which, describing the customary arc
struck squarely and buried it's barbed
head deep in the creatures flesh.

this order, we backed promptly, but

the Former Before Breakfast.
Breakfast should be eaten in the MORN
ing before leaving the house for eXer-
else or labor of any description. Those
who do it will be able to perform more
work, and with greater comfort and al
acrity than those who work an hour
or two before breakfast. Besides this
the average duration of life of those who
take breakfast before exercise or work
will be a number of years greater than
those who do otherwise. Most persons
begin to feel weak afr having been EN-
gagged five or six hours in the ordinary
avocations; a good meal reinvigorates
but from the last meal Of the day until
next morning there is an interval OF
some ten or twelve hours. Hence the
pody, IN sense, is weak, and in pro-
portion cannot resist deleterious agen-
cles. whether of the fierce cold of mid
winter or OF the poisonous miasm which
rests upon the surface of the earth
Whenever the sum shines on a blade of
vegetation or a heap of offal
This miasm is more solid, more con-
about sunrise and sunset than at any
other hour Of the "a, because the cold

ahely into the circulation of the blood
and carried directly to every part of the

If early breakfast were taken in re-
gions where chills and fever and ague
prevail, and if. in addition, a brisk fire
were kindled in the family room for the
hours including sunset and sunrise, these
troublesome maladies would diminish in

IN THE QUEENS GARDEN.

In the Queens garden sang the nightin-
gale.
The roses knew; the jasmines threw
Their breath about; great globes of dew
Hung listening; in the darkening blue
The could paused drifting on it's snowy
sail,
And the moon hid behind her misty veil,
And all the dear dim world was passion
Hearing the singing of the nightingale.
And to the wayfarer beneath the wall
With sweet dispute of fancy mute
The wind upon it's soft pursuit
Brought the clear bubble of flute
The cry of gladness, and the silver fall
OF slow full tears, and the heart-stiu-ing
call
OF lovers. and the joy of song, and all
While the wild music fell beneath the
wall.
There was no singing of the nightingale
That he might bark where in the dark
OF want and woe they only mark
The cloud-hung city'S care and cark
But still it gIaddened all his deadly all
And lightened half the brooding of heaven
of bale
To know that where the poppy's self
grew pale
In the Queens garden sang the nightin-
gale.

me into state of mind and apprehen-
sion bordering on frenzy.
Towards morning. as I was lying on
my face, 1 felt the water touch ray
feet, and jumped up curious to know
what it meant. The water was flowing
over the back of the whale in places,
and it was evident that the repeated
assaults of the sharks were beginning
to tell, and that presently 1 should
have no raft beneath me- The whales
body was gradually sinking!

right steadying myself by holding to
it. The end seemed very near now. Ut
was bad enough to be drowned, but
to go down in the midst of these hor-
rid sharks was simply appalling.
I fell into a sort of stupor, dazed as
it were, by the thought of the impend-
ing danger, with only sense enough
left to cling to the little staff, as felt
the water smashing over the whales
back and ripping about NV feet.
The Rescue.
Presently something doomed I'd out
of the dusky starlight, close beside
me. It seemed to my disordered mind
to be an enormous bird with a black
body and great outstretched wings.
and it was flying slowly past me.
Suddenly all my wandering senses
returned and I shouted out like a mad
man; for I now saw that the black
bird with the white wings was a ship

[ could have cast a pebble upon her

There was an answering voice. and

there was a rafting of cordage and a
