It is more than probable that this season has witnessed the last attempt of passenger vessels to penetrate Boring sea in the early spring. If our government took proper degree of interest in this section, we would have an ice-breakng boat that would meet all demands of the ice pack.

On q Whaling Trip
Exciting Life of Those Who Follow This Haz-
ardous. but Remunerative. OCCUPATION.

Capt. John A. Cook of Provincetown
Mass, has started for Sar Francisco.
where his stauch steam bark Bowhead
awaits his coming ere pushing through
thS Golden Gate 20 nose her way in
quest OF whales Behring's straitward
and beyond. Capt. Cook goes to en-
gage in the ninth campaign of his IA
years of Arctic whaling life. With
MIN goes the sunny-faced wife who
mas shared with him on other voyages
all the rigors and monotony of Arctic
winter life experienced while frozen in
on shipboard.
Capt. Cook is one OF the few men of
this generation who have been sue
cessful in this perilous and little I'M
derstood pursuit. Mrs. Cook is one of
the few white women who have pene-
rated to the very heart of the wilder
ness of foes and bergs lying within
the Arctic circle-the one, in fact, who
has wintered farthest northeast on
that side Of the continent; the one,
too, whose period of sojourn in that
land of desolation, darkness and dead
Iy storms unquestionably exceeds that
,af any other white woman past or
present.
Capt. Cook is only As years old, but
ne has been a sailor for % years, for
ne took ship at the age of IT, and
was master at the age of 10. In 1878,
at the age of %, he made his first whal-
ing trip in the North Atlantic az
boat steerer on the schooner William
Martin of Boston. In the autumn of
1879 he sailed as second mate Of the
schooner Amelia of New Bedford on a
similar cruise. In May, 1881, he went
out third officer on the ship California
OF New Bedford, cruised in the South
Pacific, was absent 81 months, and the
voyage proved splendidly remunera-
tive.
He began his next cruise as first Of
hcer on the bark John and Winthrop,
in 1885, and secured New Zealand and
Australian seas, and in 1887 he went
out in the same capacity on the bark
Coral for cruise in the Okhotsk sea.
On his next voyage, in the Arctic, in
1883, he was chief officer on the bark
Ohio-"the ship which never re-
turned"
While the Ohio was threading the
watery lanes in Behring's icy strait,
north bound, her bow was crushed in
below the waterline by submerged
noe, the accident occurring just as the

ern seas the boatmen are afforded am
pie space for any and all maneuvers.
In Arctic waters the attackers must,
perforce of circumstances, labor disad-
vantageously because of the cramped
and contracted working field.
The stricken bowhead usually at
tempts to escape its assailants by seek
ing cover beneath an ice foe. To pre-
vent the headlong diving of the whale
beneath the ice, the steamer is rushed
between foe and whale for the pur-
pose of alarming and turning the
mammal out toward the clear water.
Frequently the whale gains the ice
and darts beneath. At such times the
animal lows the fastened boat at a
whirlwind gait to seeming destruction
against the ice. To avoid collision and
smashing the boat the crew then at
