House Wharf.

Yesterday morning as the boat Of the
Casco Bay Steam boat Company reached

abnut $40 O. clock, a man on the boat

Investigation by the Coroner revealed
the fact that the woman WAS Rose Holly
wood, woman not unknown to the
Municipal Court, where she has appeared
many times for intoxication. A man
stated to tho Coroner that he saw Rose
pass down the wharf about five minutes
OIL eight. The coroner did not think that
the woman committed suicide. tut that
sheawas taken with a fit and fell over
Board, making no nntcry, for when found
she was lying on the water on her face
and the back of her cloak was hardly
dampened. In her stocking was flask
that had evidently contained whiskey.
The cork was gone.
Mr.. Rich took the remains in charge
and carried them to the rooms of Nc
DoDough the undertaken. Coroner Perry,
from the past historyof the woman, and
the circumstances of TIE case, considered
an inquest unnecessary. Mrs. Holly
wood was about fifty years of age.

but to accomplish it required two hours
hard work. Another boat was then made
fast to this harpoon.
At o'clock, when the steamer Susie
had delivered the mail and taken her de-

entrance OF the harbor, seemingly follow
ing the track OF the Susie. The leviathan
escaped into North Bav, and when last
seen by the Vaughn people the boats were
still attached to the harpoons. This was
at about S o'clock, and the whale was then
heading toward Detroit.
One boatload then returned to Vaughn
for Iances, but only one lance could be
found there. They rowed back and re-
joined the party still being towed.
During the afternoon and evening the
whalers were towed over thirty miles
They intended TO lance the whale freely,
until it was exhausted or bled to death,
and secure its bone ard oil. Late in the
evening, ho vever, the whale got them into

out to see the hunt. Justice Of the Peace
Robert Irving was one of the le: ders and
threw the first harpoon.

for five days and nights by a sixty-foot
humpback whale before they killed it by
lancing. They received $1,000 for its oil

1t is the inten ton of the Admiralty to
