WHALES LEAPS.
Gigantic Jumps Taken by These Monsters
Of the Deep.

OF tho Deep.
"Spcalsing OF jumping" said an old
seaman who had been watching some
boys playing leapfrog on the sands,
'let me tell you Of the greatest jump
ever seen. 1t was many years ago,
when was little more than Ind, but
was bow oarsman on whale boat be-
longing to the ship Henry Staples
We had had bad luck for several weeks,
when one day we sighted big whale,
and two boats set off In race 10 see
who would get there first. 1t was
fairly smooth, what the sailors call
white.cap breeze, and our boats fairly
few over the water. Finally the
whale rose not one hundred yards
away, heading directly for us The
harpooncr stood with his iron all
ready to throw, while we grasped our
oars nervously, prepared to jump at
the word stern ALL that nearly al.
ways came when whale was har-
pooned. Not word was spoken, and
suddenly a mountain OF black APP
peared; 1t seemed to shut off the entire
horizon. Up 1t went until ] distinctly
saw n seventy-foot whale over twenty
feet in the air lowering over us.
THE mate was the first 10 regain
his senses, and gave the command
stern ALL just as we were ready to
spring overheard the boat shot back
several feet, and the next second tho
gigantic animal Owed into the ocean,
Just grazing us, having completely
passed over the boat in the biggest leap
/ ever heard Of"
Such gigantic jumps are rare. A
similar one was recorded by DIR. Hall.
who ut the time was n midshipman on
the ship Leander. They were lying In
the harbor Of Bermuda, when ell hands
were attracted by the appearance OF q
large whale that suddenly appeared
in the harbor and seemed very much
alarmed by the shallow water. houn-
dering about violently. The young
midshipman Joined q boats crew that
started in pursuit, and just rs they
were about to strike the whale disap-
peared, sinking out Of sight, leaving q
deep whirlpool, around which the boat
shot. Before It stopped up cams the
whale, having In all probability struck
the bottom, and went into the air like
n rocket $50 complete was this enor-
nous leap" said DIR. Hall, shat for
an instant we saw him fairly up In the
air, In horizontal position, ut q dis
tance OF at least twenty perpendicular
feet over our heads. While In his
progress upward there was In his
spring some touch OF the vivacity with
which trout or salmon shoots out OF
the water. but he fell back again In
the sea like huge log thrown on Its
broadside, and with such laundering
crash rs made all hands stare with as
constituent and the boldest held his
breath for q time. Had he taken his
leap one minute sooner he would have
fallen plump on the boat"
Comparatively few people have seen
large whale, but we can imagine
what an object an animal seventy feet
long and weighing rs many tons would
make flying through the air.
