Chased BY a Whale.

Chased by a huge whale, with nothing
but a pair of oars with which to defend
himself, is the story told by a fisherman,
Fred Campbell of Mainadieu, Cape Bre-
ton. Mr.. Campbell went out in small
boat. He was not very far from land
when he noticed a huge sea monster APP
preaching him. Not wishing to encoun-
ter It, Mr.. Campbell bent himself to
the oars and tried to get in shore before
the monster reached him. The whale
gained on him, and he soon recognized
that his efforts to reach the shore ahead
of his pursuer were futile. His means Of
defense were not of much account, but
he made good use of what was at hand.
The monster opened his jaws wide and
tried to swallow the boat, man and all.
Mr.. Campbell. reached over with an
oar and for a few minutes succeeded in
keeping the whale away. When it
looked as though Campbell was doomed,
a small boat hove in sight, and its oe-
cupants, noticing the mans perilous po-
sition, FASTENED to his aid. The whale
then disappeared. 4 contemporary sug-
