KILLING THE WHALE.
Description of the Thrilling and Danger
Gus Work by Conan Doyle.

Description of the Thrilling and Danger
Gus Work by Conan Doyle.
DR.. Conan Doyle, the well known
story teller, enjoyed II years age
the experience of going to the arctic
seas as surgeon of the Hope, bound
for the Greenland fishing grounds,
and in a recent article in Mcclure s
Magazine he has related his adven-
lures on the ship. His description of
the happening of a whale is excep-
tionally vivid and graphic.
1T is exciting work, y he says,
pulling on a whale. Your own
back is turned to him, and all you
know about him is what you read
upon the face of the boat steerer
He is staring out over your head,
watching the creature as he swims
slowly through the water, raising
his hand now and again as signal
to stop rowing when he sees that
the eye is coming round, and then
resuming the stealthy approach
when the whale is end on.
There are so many floating pieces
Of ice that as long as the oars are
quiet the boat alone will not cause
the creature to dive. So you Green
slowly up, and at last you are so
near that the boat steerer knows
that you can get there before the
creature has time to dive, for it takes
some little time to get that huge
body into motion.
You see a sudden CLEAN in his
eyes and flush in his cheeks, and
it's: Give way, boysl Give way,
ALI Hardl Click goes the trigger
of the big harpoon gun, and the
foam flies from your oars. Six
strokes. Derhans. and then. with .

dull, greasy squelch, the bows run
upon something soft, and you and
your oars are sent flying in every
direction, but little you care for
that, for as you touched the whale
you heard the crash of the gun, and
you know that the harpoon has been
fired point blank into the huge, lead
colored curve of his side,
THE creature sinks like stone,
the bows of the boat splash down
into the water again, but there is
the little red jack flying from the
center thwart to show that you are
fast, and there is the line whizzing
swiftly under the seats and over the
bows between your outstretched
feet.
So fast and so furiously does this
line pay out that if it has anywhere
a kink which catches the clothes OF
limb of any unfortunate member of
the boats crew he is whirled over
board to his death, many fathoms
deep, almost before his comrades
realize that he is gone. After the
harpooning of the whale the crew of
that boat have no more to do, but
another boats crew are eagerly
waiting for their turn.
THE lancing, when the weary fish
is killed with the cold steel, is
more exciting because more pro-
longed experience, says DR.. Doyle,
You may be for half an hour so
near to the creature that you can lay
your hand upon its Shiny side. The
whale appears to have but little SEN
sibility to pain, for it never winces
when the long lances are passed
through its body, but its instinct
urges it to get its tail to work on the
boats, and yours urges you to keep

Even there, however, we found
upon this occasion that we were not
quite out of dangers way, for the
creature in its furry raised its huge
side happer and poised it over the
boat One flap would have sent us
to the bottom of the sea, and / can
never forget how, as we pushed our
way from under, each of US held one
hand up to stave off that great,
threatening fin, as if any strength
of ours could have availed if the
whale had meant it to descendl But
it was spent with loss of blood, and,
instead of coming down, the fin roll

Some Ideas of an English Physician
on the Subject.

DR.. Michea, leading English physi-
method of treating diseases. He cures
his patients by fright. He had OBJ
served that in certain cases a sudden
shock or fright produced healing eff
feet upon the patient. He then carried
his idea into effect by writing and
sending to the patient anonymous let
ters, which contained everything COM
plimentary he could think Of, and to
which the bravest would not affiX his
name.
Excitement of the patient at receipt
of such a. letter and the concentration
of his mind upon the problem of finding
out the author of the abuse would
cause decided change and melancholy
or hypochondria would soon take
wings.
Dr. Michea has tried every sort of
frightening methods, and, according to
his statement the effect is always bene-
fetal.
1t is an acknowledged fact, he says,
that rheumatic patients who have eth
er witnessed or experienced g railway
accident, begin TO recover from their
malady. Hysterical and epileptical
cases are durable by this fright
method he asserts, while deaf and
dumb persons have, in many instances,
regained hearing and speech through
the same means.
OF course, this cure can only be ap-
piled in nervous diseases. 1t would
have quite the contrary effect were it
TO be applied to organic diseases.
