STRANGE CREATURE
In Alaskan Waters Attacks Whales
With q Powerful Club.


While operating fishery on Admiral Is
land, Alaska. last summer my attention
and the attention of the fishing crew was
almost daily attracted to large marine
creature that would appear in the main
channel of Seymour canal and our imme-
date vicinity.
There are large numbers OF whale or the
spec1es rorqual there. and the monster
seemed to be their natural enemy. The
whales generally travel in schools. and
while at the surface to blow one would De
singled out and attacked by the nsh, ana
a battle was soon In order.
1t is the nature of the rorqual TO make
three blows at intervals of from two to
three minutes each. and then sound deep
and stay beneath the surface for thirty OF
forty minutes.
there would appear always at the whale
right side and just about where his mead
would connect with the body great, long
tail or fin, Judged by five fishermen and
a number Of Indians after seeing 1t about
fifteen times at various distances to be
about twenty-four feet long, two and one
half feet wide at the end, and taperins
down to the water. where 1t seemed to be
about eighteen inches in diameter. looking
very much like the blade of the fan or an
old fashioned Dutch windmill.
This great club was used on the back of
tho unfortunate whale in such manner
that it was a wonder to me that every
whale attacked was not instantly killed
Its operator seemed to have perfect control
of its movements, and would bend Ii back
till the end would touch the water form
ing a horseshoe loop. then with a sweep II
would be Strengthened and brought over
and down on the back of the whale with a
whack that could be heard for several
miles If the whale was fortunate enough
to submerge his body before the blows
came the spray would fly for distance of
100 feet from the effect of a stroke, making
q report as loud as yachts signal gun.
What seemed most remarkable to me was
that no matter which way the attacked
whale went or how fast (the usual speed
Is about fourteen knots) that great club
would follow right along by its side and
deliver those tremendous blows at inter-
walls of about four or five seconds. 1t
would always get in from three to five
blows at each of the three times The whale
would come to the surface to blow. The
whale would generally rid itself OF the enc
my when it took its deep sound, especially
IL the water was forty fathoms or more
deep.
During the day the attack was always
offshore, but at night the whales would be
attacked in the bay and within 400 yards OF
the fishery.
do not know of any whales being killed.
but there were several that had great holes
and sores on their backs.
Questioning the Indians about It, was
told that there for many years was only
one that II had been there for many years
and that 1t once attacked an Indian canoe
and with one stroke of the great club
mashed the canoe into splinters, killing and
drowning several Of It's occupants.
