because there were so many caddice
worms asd other insects in the water
that the fish had no need for taking the
hook.
Bean consulted a lawyer and found that
as his pond contained less than ten acres
it was his to hold and protect against all
comers. He waited a few years longer
and sent down a crew of men, who bored
a hole from the shore through the bank
facing the ocean. inserting a water main
in the opening. When he had put a turn
tap in the pipe so far inside the hill that
it would not freeze in winter he was
ready to supply fish to order. Orders
were taken in Boston and other large
places for as many trout as he could
furnish. Then Bean came to Campbell

The Fate of the FLY.

At one of the English German schools
in the city a teacher recently annouuc-
ed to class of very young girls that
they could have 20 minutes to write a
composition on any subject Of their
own selection. A bright girl, whose
head is adorned with a liberal supply
of beautiful auburn hair, handed in the

was up to all our tricks. For seven
long hours he hung to us, and then of a
sudden he sank out of sight without SO
much as splash. We argued that he
had gone for good, and it was weight
off our minds, but Davids shook his
head in mournful way and replied:
"Sam Patch came here after me,
and he won't leave for good till he gets
me. He's only off to feed"
We reached the island without hav-
ing seen more of him, however. AS we
came within mile of the north shore
the bark was thrown into the wind,
the boat lowered, and Davids was to
be rowed in to sound the depth and
find safe anchorage. Three sailors
took their places at the oars, and the
boat showed off. 1t was sunny sky
and calm sea, with never a thought
of danger, but the yawl had not pulled
above cables length from us and ev-
cry man in the bark had his eye on
her when she suddenly rose in the air
with crashing, rending noise. Below
her appeared the great head of Sam
Patch, and it was thrust upward IN
til the stove boat was lifted 80 feet
high and then slid off. When ten feet
more of the body was exposed to view,
the whale fell over with mighty
swash, rolled his great body over and
over three or four times and then dis
appeared beneath the surface.
We had second boat down in no
time to pick up the men, but while four
had gone in the boat there were only
three to rescue. The trio were more or
less knocked about and almost fright
ened to death, but they had come off
better than the mate, Whether the
whale seized him in it's mouth or
drowned him as it rolled we could not
say, but our search for the body was
in vain, and Sam Patch disappeared
to trouble us no more.
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1901-05-14
and Dayids had be

an hours notice. He had been found
to be man who thoroughly knew his
business, and it was understood that
he was an old whaleman. He had spun
no yarns of his adventures, however,
and now for the first time, as the whale
kept pace with us and the frightened
crew tiptoed about the decks, the mate
gave us a brief outline. He had been
!! Whaling in every sea, both in sail and
| steam vessels, and had been ashore aft
er his last cruise only month when
| joining us. Three years before in
| Whaler out of London they had lower
ed for monster whale off the Madei-
ras and fought him for four hours. The
leyiathan had smashed two boats and
| killed five men. Davids in his boat had
| got him fast, but the whale sounded
| so deep they had to cut the line and
let him go. Three months later 700
miles to the north the whaler encoun-
tered the same fish and had another
boat destroyed and two men killed.
Again DayidS got fast, but after being
towed 10 miles to windward had to cut
loose. Six months later, down off
the coast of Brazil, he had his third
| fight with the same whale and got in a
third harpoon.
During the next two years Dayids
sighted that whale, which had come to
be known as Sam Patch, off the Cape
of Good Hope, off the coast of Peru
ana off the coast of Mexico. and on
each and every occasion at least one
boat was smashed and some one killed.
and the mate also made fast and had to
let go again. The whale had scars by
which he could easily be identified. He
had always been known as wild fish,
and that he should rise so near our
bark and keep company with us for
hours was more than mystery to the
mate.
I'll tell you what it is" he said after
leaning his elbows on the rail and talk
ing long look at the vast bulk almost
rubbing our starboard side; that
whale is after me- He knows Pm
aboard here. Six of my harpoons are
rusting in his carcass, and though I'm
not after him on this voyage he wants
revenge"
We laughed at the idea, but the mate
chung to it. He was an intelligent,
fairly educated man, and it was evil
dent that he fully believed in his own
words. Perhaps it was his earnestness
that made us ALSO come to believe that
there might be something in it, al
though 1t looked absurd at first sight.
When the whale had been keeping
company with us for three hours, we
let the bark go four points off her
course. thinking to quietly steal away
from him, but he changed his course
and kept with her. Then we shortened
sail. but he slowed up. For an hour
we worked to part company, bu, h"

We were bound for Alijos island, off

it as if propelled by an engine of 1000

Instead of sinking out Of sight or max

the vessel and gradually edged down
toward us until man could have toss
