FIGHTING WITH WHALES.
Experience of Captain Rose, OF
whaling Schooner Joseph A.

IN BtNAtAEt " 1nNAhAh AONNf "
Whaling Schooner Joseph A.
Provincetown Letter In Boston Herald.
Capt. Antoine Rose. OF the whaling
schooner Joseph A. Mania, has arrived
home, having been obliged 10 leave the
vessel on account of sickness. the result
of exposure while fighting a whale.
The schooner reached the Hatteras whal-
ing grounds on April q, and the next day.
soon after daylight, the man in the crows
nest at the mainmast head raised whales,
and IN five minutes the boats were away 10
the chase. The irons were soon to the hilt
in a lively young twenty-five barrel whale
After few moments tussle the fish
started to sound, taking the line over the
bow at race horse speed, making things
smoke in the checks. Suddenly the line
lunked, and In the twinkling of an eye the
remainder of the rail was out OF the tub
catching with a snap for an instant on the
stem Of the boat, just long enough to tear
it out and wreck the boat. The boat
steerer's knife flashed in the air, and the
master was free, taking the line with him.
All atteution of the crew was turned TO
the boat which was quickly filing, and it
was quick work to save their own lives.
The mast and the six oars were dashed
across the gunwaes TO keep her from cap
sizing, and she slowly began to settle.
Higher and high rose the wafer, until il
reached to the shoulders of the men as
they Stood on the seats.
There they stood four long hours bal
ancing on their precarious fOothod, hang
ing 10 life by thread until their vessel
could be worked up to them from her dis
tant position on the horizon.
When rescued some of the men were
nearly dead. One poor follow was uncon-
scious. and Il required an hour of hard
work and quantities Of hot coffee to bring
him back to life.
The next day, nothing daunted by their
rough experience, the boats were away
again in the chase, and soon had mon
ster as long as the vessel spouting his life
blood. At 5 o'clock that afternoon their
prize was safely moored, head and stern,
along side the little schooner, ana the work
of getting her out Of the rough waters Of
the Gulf stream began.
They worked steadily until O'Clock the
next morning, but their efforts were I'M
availing, as a heavy gale had sprung up
and was blowing with hurricane force.
Parks and schooners could be seen on all
side lying hove to under bare poles
In order 10 save the vessel Capt. Rose
was Obliged to cut the Warps and let the
eighty barrel price, worth fully WOO drift
nvay. The long exposure in the cold
water and hard work aggravated an old
strain, and Capt Rose began to grow
sick and was obliged to work the vessel
In toward the land for assistance.
Sighting a tug off Long Island the cap
tain took passage for land, and sent his
vessel 10 sea again In charge OF his first
officer. and has spent the last five weeks
IN the New Bedford hospital.

] may point to one or two elements in
the Manila victory which offer lessons
not to be lightly passed over. The ex-
tremely feeble support which the Spanish
ships received from the batteries behind
them surprised me, as it no doubt surpris-
ed many others. OF the great power of
guns mounted on steady platform over
guns mounted ahoat no one has spoken
with more conviction than American nav
al officers themselves. Their conclusions,
after a very careful and sustained ex-
animation as eyewitnesses Of the bonn
bardment of the Alexandrlan batteries
was that vessels are not yet and never
will be able TO fight on even terms with
forts"
It certainly rebounds to Admiral Dew
eys credit that with such opinions be
hind him, he attacked as he did. But he
attacked at very long range, stated to be
1900 yards; our inference for the present
must be either that the land guns were
obsolete, or that they were disgracefully
served, or possibly both. ] should doubt
if the constantly agitated cause of ships
versus forts will be found to have pro-
gressed by the illustration of this battle
more than to enforce the lesson that the
quality of the weapons mounted and the
drill Of the men behind them must keep
pace with what Is done afoat, and is far
more important than costly quantity.

The Philippine Character.

From the Contemporary Review.
After years of study of the naive char
aCter, I have come TO the conclusion that
the Philippine Islander is very m1tter-of-
fact He is not unwilling, but unable, con-
scientiousiy to accept an abstract theory.
Christianity, with it's mysteries has there
fore no effect on his character. but he
becomes accustomed to do that which his
forefathers We're coerced 10 do namely,
10 accept the outward and visible signs
without being imbued by the inward and
spiritual grace. The mere discipline-the
fact that, nolens volens, they must al
given hour on a given day appear dressed
in their best and attend the church and
an the case of headmen) so to the monk
residence to kiss hands"-has certainly
had the effect of tanning the masses into
orderly beings Yet restraint of any kind
is repugnant TO him. He likes TO be ps free
as bird, but he is Of plant nature, ana
easily managed with just treatment. He
is extremely sensitive to injustice. If he
knows, in his own mind, that he has done
wrong he viii submit to a thrashng with
out any thought of taking revenge. If
he were punished out Of mere caprice or
with palpable injustice, he would always
have a lurking desire to give quid pro
quo. He has an innate contempt for cow
ards, hence his disdain for Chinese, but
will follow a brave leader anywhere; and
will never be the first 10 yield to hunger
fatigue or possible chances Of death. He
takes every trouble with profound resig-
nation; he promises everything and per-
forms little; his word is not worth n straw
and he does not feel that lying is a sin
He is inconstant Ia the extreme, and loyal
go long as il suits him, but as a subject
ne can be easily moulded into any fashion
which just honest and merciful govern
ment would wish.

If we had kissed love, then and there,
The world again had blossomed fair,
And ours had been sweet Summer days
With little whisperings of love
From wind-swept trees and fields of flow
erS,
And say the lark had sung above,
As he were Loves evangelist
Ii we had kissed.
If we had kissed the angry word
Had been forgiven as never heard.
That foolish word that made us part
Had fallen into forgetfuiness,
It's po-ve4A 20 wound, It's ache and smart
Had melted at our FIRST caress,
And we had loved as lovers list.
If we hid kissed.
II we had kissed, we had not known
Such grief for joys too early flown,
We had not wept these bitter tears
Nor longed and only longe1 i'm vain,
We had not cursed the weary years
That brought no solace for our pain,
And we had made and kept our rySt,
IL we had kissed.
If we had kissed, we should not now
Thus, thus renew each broken vow.
Ours had been dear delights ana ease,
And many a tender, lingering kiss
Had lived in our hearts memories.
But never one ike this--like thisl
This JOY of joys we should have missed,
If we had kissed.
