 The British bark Dunnerdale. which has just preached her cargo of nitrate of soda at Erie basin, Brooklyn, also brings into port q store Of weird and strange tales cf the sea. The Dunner- dale's cabin is museum illustrative of the bark $ adventures and decorated with emus' eggs and deep sea and South American curiosities.
 The outward voyage from the Tyne to Antofagasta, Chile, lasted 120 days, half of 1t being consumed ill the trip to Cape Horn. Forty seven days were re- guired to weather the Horn. Hurricanes from the southwest and west pushed the bark far to the sout'Iward of her course into the climate of the Antarctic ocean.
 The Dunnerdale is a good weather craft and drove easily before the winter gales, riding the Antarctics s pillows like lightship. Every detail of the bark's rigging and equipment was frozen stiff. Shrouds anu stays threatened to give way beneath the crushing weight. Snow covered the decks in drifts, but the bark still drove on before the white storm, laughing at danger.
 It was intensely cold The rudder chains froze up and had to be thawed out with hot water All hands had to turn to and knock the ice off the sails with hammers.
 The Dunnerdale was forced 400 miles out of her course into latitude 61 south and longitude 63 west. Three times she was driven off the Horn After 45 days of this sort Of experience Captain Green halgh found himself only | trifie to the southward of where he had been at the beginning.
 On the voyage from Pisagua to New York Captain Greenhalgh, Mrs Green halgh and the crew had fun with sharks. The captain has walking stick made from the backbone of shovel nosed shark that was hooked over the bark side. Sharks fins, teeth and vertebrae are plentiful OH the Dunnerdale
 For four days from April 13 bottle nosed shark sneaked in the bark $ wake It is sure bad luck not to land shark that tags ship. Every endeayor was made to tempt the sea monster to take the bait, but it was wary shark and fought shy of the pork baited hook.
 In dead calm on Friday, April IS, in latitude B north and longitude 72 west, the captain and Mrs. Greenhalgh and the off watch were all on the poop deck trying to lure the bottle nose from the Atlantic With it's dersal fin out of water, 1t swan lazily and warily about, now and then rolling slowly over and taking the chunk of pork between it's man eating jaws With the bait in it's teeth, the shark was hauled three times out of water, only to let go and drop back Each time 1t swan away, circled the bark and returned
 The hook stuck fast the fourth time. It required the united strength of the two watches, ten able seamen and three apprentices to haul his sharkship aboard. It was necessary to slip three bowlines around his body i'll order to get proper purchase on the dead weight.
 The shark weighed 800 pounds and measured l2 feet inches from nose to tip of tail There were seven rows of brutal, saw edge teeth. The shark had been hungry, for i'll the stomach were only a fish and J lump of pork.-New York World.
