A MARINE BATTLE.


An Exciting Contest In Which the Whale
vsnsuAshed His Enemies.
IL happened on ono occasion that we
were cruising of tho coast of japan dur
ing q very successful season, and having
just "out In" large fish" were busy
"trying out" tho blubbor. A violent oom-
motion near tho ship drew our attention
from the work In hand, and for tho next
quarter OF an hour we witnessed az trc-
Dendous a fight az old Homer himself
could haye wished to describe. Two "kili-
ers" and a huge swordhsh (xiphias), des-
perate with hunger, had combined their
forces and ventured 10 attack half grown
bull cachalot. Nothing. am persuaded,
but tho direst necessity and pressure Of
want could have prompted them To under
take so grave . conflict, although IL must
needs dc confessed that their combination
was a powerful one.
1t fell to the swordflsh to lead Off, and
he launched himself at tho whale like a
whitehead torpedo, pointed direct for the
most vital part. But gentle swcrve of
the wary cacbalot presented to the attack
instoad of tho vulnerable broadsidc the
oblique, impenetrable mass of the head
The awful blow of the sword. impelled by
tho furious speed of the mass behind 1t,
struck just below the whales eye, ripping
white streak diagonally upward through
the grisly substance covering the skull,
but spending It's force in the air above,
while the great body, following, glided SER
pentlike right over the whales head and
fell helplessly upon tho other side, With
incredible agility for SO vast bulk, the
cichalot turned, settling slightly withal.
then rising, lower jaw uppermost, he
caught the xiphias fairly In the center be.
tween those might shears, and cleft him
In two halves. A side way shake Of the
great head, scarce perceptible gulp, and
the tail half of that swordf1sh slid down
the whales oavernous throat with as much
case and rapidity as II Ii had been an oys-
ter. Meanwhile, the orcas had not been
remiss In supporting the spirited attack of
their Ill fated coadjutor. One hung upon
either flank Of their giant foe and worried
him as dogs worry n boar.
But their time had como. After vaiply
'sndeavoring by rolling and writhing to
free himself from them, he suddenly
changed his tactics. Bearing himself
majestically out of the seething eddies like
q mighty column Of black rock. he fell
backward, tearing himself away from the
clinging monsters. Up rose his enormous
tail from the boiling vortex, and, descend
ing like q gigantic scythe, literally
crushed one Of his aggressors beneath IL,
the blow reverberating like thunder. The
survivor fed, but the infuriated Titan
pursued, leaping, like dolphin, half out
OF the sea at every bound, and although
we could not sec the end Of tho chase
we had little doubt that Orca gladiator
paid the full penalty Of his rashness un-
der the lethal sweep of those terrible jaws.

from the depot.
Resigned From Committee.
1t is understood that William Gregson,
School Committeeman from Manville has
rendered his resignation as a member OF
that body to the Town Council. Mr..
Gregson has moved out of town and that
OF course makes him ineligible to hold the
position. The vacancy may be filled at the
special meeting TO be held this afternoon.

"A Victim OF ,Curiosity.

A man to whom was given tho name of
George Brown was committed to the In
sane asylum by County Judge Northup of
Portland recently. The case is one of the
most peculiar that has come under tho at
tention Of the authorities for long time.
Jailer Resing found the man sitting on
the curb at Third and Stark streets, and
upon addressing him with query as to
his name and business, received in reply a
torrent of abuse and profanity. Presum-
ing the man was under the influence of
liquor. the officer placed him under arrest
on u charge of drunkenness. When taken
to the station, the captain, as is usual,
asked the prisoner his name. The ques-
tion again loosened the foodgates of
marvellous stream Of profanity, which
could only be suppressed by placing the
prisoner In dark cell. When he had be-
come quiet, he was transferred to the big
oell with the other prisoners, and one of
the latter asked his name. The calm coun-
tenance Immediately changed again, and
the usual bitter imprecations Of the man
were repeated. Each effort Of the officers
to learn his name always resulted In the
same outburst.
He finally consented to talk, and told
the officers peculiar story. He said he
was tormented by people asking him his
name. In Brooklyn, where he formerly
resided, he would occasionally come In
contact with a man who would ask him
his name, and to avoid these no went
west The first man on the car to speak
to him was the conductor, who aslfsd him
his name. When at q hotel they would
always ask him his name. On the road IL
was the same. no matter where ne fed,
and to crown his torment with the great
est wrong he was confined In jail to hear
the question repeated. At the county jail
he tore his garments into shreds ono night
