planter. and is the only white inhab-

brown skinned assistants who cut and
dry the cocoauut rinds that he sells
to trading vessels. The planter
makes plenty Of money in his peculiar
trade. but he used to be worried to
provide entertainment for the visitors
who bought his product. One stormy
day, however, q small whale floated
through the narrow entrance to the
harbor, which Is walled in by n coral
reef. The whale appeared satisfied
with it's new home aud remained. IA
the years passed by the baby whale
proceeded TO grow and TO wax fat and
become tame. for the planter fed IL
occasionally with a bushel or 30 Of
chopped meat. Now the whale Is 70
feet long. and Is the curiosity of the
island. When traders boat slips in
to the harbor the planter gives the Of
ficcrS and crew banquet under the
palms and then takes them to see the
pet whale. At such times a barrel of
chopped meat Is rolled down to the
waterside and the planter stands on
the shore and blows hern. Almost
