But Canton was to make up for that frs
fiuke. The promise Of the third day out
was richly fulfilled during the cruise, for
the bark found whale throughout the North
Atlantic.
1t was a most uneventful voyage, So say
officers and crew. So says it's handsome
young captain, Nicholas r. Vieira. These
are some Of the uneventful events:
A few days after striking the first whale
and being "carted out of town by the swift
brute, the bark lowered four boats. At l
p. m, the larboard boat struck a big whale
At 4:3O p. m, the waist boat got her irons
into one, The two whales during their
runs swan toward each other and the two
boats %collided, and were hauled along heller

strong arms. shot into the second whale.
As quickly as he struck, the first mate cut
his line and got clear and both whales werr
killed and brought alongside by 7:3O p. m.
One OF them produced twenty-five barrels
and the other thirty barrels.
In the mix-up the first mate got his
wrist badly cut by a sharp lance that was
sticking out OF one Of the boats. The
captain" says the log briefly, Stitched
the wound. The captain had more severe
surgery than that to perform before the
voyage was ended. One day sperm whales
were raised" at 1890 a. m. The first,
second and third mates boats were low
cred at once and they chased the big fell
lows all day long, 1t was hard work, for
the whales were shy and hard to get at.
Hours passed and 1t was 6 p. m. before
the third mate managed at last to strike
He got his harpoon into a mighty one.
The instant the iron entered, the black
monster turned with the w%allowing OF a
warship and dashed at the boat. Before
it could back away the whale had thrown
himself over on his side and sent his i'm
mense fipper, bigger by far than the whole
whaleboat, crashing down.
