'"The name whale dock is al right and is just
a appropriate here as the Battery or Bowling

monument to something that once existed.
The people whom you meet here know little
about the origin Of the name because the aver
ase man cannot remember fifty years back but
those who lived here late in the forties can tell
You tnat there considerable whaling bust
aces done from this place and that many whal-
ing vessels used to tie up at the place which is
still called whale dock"
This statement verified by Captain James
ftin who spent nfty-three years in the river
ana n&rbor service.
IT'S fifty years ago fully since the wha ling
business was given up here. but before that time
Tor many years il was a great industry | re-
fnember the Newark and the Elba and other big
SHIPS that used To come here. The business was
started by Nathaniel Il. Talmadgc and was a
profitable one for many years. Those were the
GAYS when the boys used TO see strange sights
down on the whale dock. Sailors with rings in
their ears and noses and tattoo marks all over
Neir arms and faces used to come in on these

called wild men from the Sandwich Islands in
these days it mattered not where they came

lhere was always great time among the
bpNs when whaler came in. because the ballast
consisted OF all sorts of queer things. There
"ere shells and strange metal things and the
boys used 10 grub about in the stuff that came
out of the holds to find gold and other treasure
One of the popular finds on a whaler was eye
stones. There was great excitement here once
upon a time when whaler went over on her
side off the dock. The ballast and load had all
been taken out from side and left her heavy
en- the other, and she went over.
Another great whaling scare was when one
or the large ships went on the New Hamburg

"haler skipper gave him the Job. Well the new
mans services wera worth more than they
cost, for he ran the ship on the reef. She had to
be unloaded to get her OF. Then she went into

A LegenA Of the salty Sea.

a LegeMis of the Salty Sea-
There are ksuldreds of queer myths
and traditions given to account for the
fact that the sea is salt. The Arabs
say that when the first pair sinned they
were living in a beautiful garden on a
tract of land joined to a mainland by
narrow neck or isthmus. When it be-
came known to the Holy One that his
people had sinned, he went to the gar
den for the purpose of driving them out
and across the narrow neck of land
into the patch of thorns and brambles
on the other side Anticipating what
would be the consequence of their hei-
nous crime, they had prepared to leave
their beautiful garden and had actually
gone so far as to send the children and
goats across into the thicket.
When the Holy One appeared on the
scene, the first pair started to run, but
the woman locked back. For this the
man cursed her and for such crime
was almost Immediately turned into a
block of salt. Compare with Genesis xix,
&c. The woman, more forgiying than
her hpoband, stopped to pick up the
shapeless mass of salt, when imme-
diately the narrow neck of land began
to crack and break. AS she touched
what had once been her companion she,
too, was turned to salt just as the neck
of the land sank and the waters rush
ed through. From that day to this, the
Arabs say, all the waters of the ocean
have rushed through that narrow chan
mel at least once a year, constantly
wearing away the salt of what was
once our first parents, yet the bulk of
the two salty objects is not diminished
in the least.
