we could not. The forenoon was half
gone by this time, and in the horizon
cloud was rapidly rising. 1t looked
dark, like thunderstorm. Things
began to look ugly. We were being
towed by whale, and away from all
help. l bitterly cursed my folly in
entering the boat with crew of
fishermen instead of experienced
whalemen.
The other boats that had put out
had returned to the ship and we
could see them slowly getting sail on
her with the intention, we hoped of
coming after us. But the whale kept
on, steadily putting mile after mile be-
tween us and our friends. l have
often wondered how whales keep to-
gether, for here was this one going
off on what was apparently tangent
and leaving his friends. But all of
sudden right in front of us rose the
other four of the monsters. They
went up to the fellow who was haul
ing our boat and made as if to play
with him and then fell behind and be-
gan playing leapfrog in the water,
sometimes almost leaping out of the
water in their fun. And we were be-
ing hauled right through the school.

Some of the men stood up and prayed,
the others swore, and one bit savagely
at the line with his teeth.
THE reel was tangled in the for
ward seats and we could not stir it.
Suddenly one of the whales ahead of
us brought down the tip of his tail
upon the lines with such force that it
snapped them both and tore the reel
and the seats out of the boat entirely,
nearly breaking my leg in the mean
time and throwing me bodily into the
water. They pulled me out, a very
wet and a very mad man. and to our
surprise back came one of the whales
to smell us over. He came right up
to the boat and blew water into the
air as he looked us over. In my
smarting anger l seized up the lance
and ordered the boat forward. He
had rolled upon his back and with all
my strength l buried the lance in his
vitals, being covered with warm
blood as the boat withdrew.
we afterward found that it was
the same whale we had previously
harpooned, and it was because he was
wounded that he allowed himself to
be lanced.
"A slight tremor warned us to get
out of the way before the furry of
death should wreck us in its intensity.
We were hardly out of range when he
began to go around in a circle, around
and around, lashing the water into
bloody foam. Then in few minutes
it was all over. He lay rolling in the
trough of the sea, and the schooner
came up and hove to little way off.

of hope we will keep up the search, -

1t is stated on good authority that
the detectives who have been work
ing on the case have given the case
up as hopeless. The reward of $500
which was offered by Gov. Cummins
and the citizens of the town of West
Liberty was an incentive for some
hard work. but the dastardly assas
sin was so clever in his work that he
left hardly an indication of a clue.

Heat.

Today new record was set in high
temperature for this season. While
thermometers about the city record
ed all the way from IS to 100 degrees,
the thermometer at the local weather
bureau showed 94.5 at 2:3O D. III. with
the prospect that it would GO even
higher later in the day. Thus the
day is easily the hottest of the sea-
son, Yesterdays temperature, which
was next in point of humidity, being
92.4.
The heat of yesterday caused no
serious consequences to any in this
city, so far as reported, though there
was a death in Moline from the effects
of it. Olaf Olson, Al years of age,
was overcome at his home, 315 Twen-
ty-second street, in that city, and died
at 7;15 in the evening. He leaves a
wife and two children. The family
recently came to Moline from Rock
ford.
