ONCE MORE

With the demand for whale oil great

with good ships fitting out at the
wharfs of New Bedford, it Certainly
seems tt.at the picturesque and profita-
bic Whaling Industry, whose knell has
been so often rung. is by no means ex-
tinct. AS a matter of fact it is not.
Indeed market conditions now favor
the whaling business. After it had
seemed on the verge of extinction it is
again profitable, and all signs point to
something of BOOM The few whale
ships now in commission report whales
numerous in al of the old fishing
grounds, and big fish have been taken
within two days sail OF New Bedford.
There is more money in whales today
than in many n modern commercial
undertaking. and so long as large
profits can be made whalers will con-
tinue to be built and sent to sea, there
by preserving perhaps the most ro-
mantle occupation TO which the sea
has given rise since pirates went out OF
business.
New Bedford meantime is in some
what of quandary. The recent ar
rival of the whaling bark Canton.

age with 2200 barrels of sperm oil on
board, and the return of another bark
with full cargo of oil and whale
bone have stirred up the old timers
But of all the noble fleet of whalers
that sailed cut OF that port before the
war only few vessels are now in COM
mission, and most of these are schoon-
ers not adapted to the long cruises of
two to four years that mean Il profta-

that months will elapsc without q

Merchant ships cannot be made over

it. The craft that must hold Il huge

tumbling sea. hanging on TO the mighty
bulk by main strength of tackle and
timber, must be built far mere mass

ship. So now, with sperm whales be-
ing encountered within two and three
days sail from port. the ancient whal-
ing town is unable to take full ad-
vantage of its new opportunity.

almost all of the great fleet hailed

During the war of the rebellion the
Alabama destroyed many New Bed

long cruise in the arctic without know
ing that two sections of the United
States were at war with each other.
After peace came the discovery of
petroleum in Pennsylvania. and from
that time 10 this whaling has gradual
ly declined. Because they saw no fu-
ture for it Americans no longer took
it up. The old sailors continued on with
it, for they could do little else, and. be-
sides, the excitement of the life held
them to it.
