gaze on an old schooner yacht that

deck, alongside the north pier at the

most famous yacht afioat. being none

 There is no doubt that the drinkers living in northern or cool climate like strong drinks, as the police records show, and that is why they prefer whiskey to wine.

ENEMY OF WHALES.
Strange Creature Said to Exist in
 Alaskan Waters.

While operating fishery on Admir- alty Island, Alaska, last summer, my attention and the attention of the fish, ing crew was almost daily attracted to large marine creature that would appear in the main channel of Sey- mour canal and our ire mediate vicin- ity. There are large numbers of whales of the species of rorqual there, and the monster seemed to be their. natural enemy. The whales generally travel in schools and while at the sur face to blow one would be singled out and attacked by the fish, and battle was soon in order.
 It 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 sur face for 30 or 40 minutes. As a whale would come to the surface, there would appear always at the whales right side and just about where his head would connect with the body, a great, long tail or fin, judged by five fishermen and a number of Indians af- ter seeing it about 15 times at various distances" to be about A feet long, two and one-half feet wide at the end, and tapering down to the water. where it seemed to be about IS inches ill diameter looking very much like, the blade of the fan of an old fashioned Dutch windmill.
 The great club was used on the back of the unfortunate whale in such manner that it was a wonder to me that every whale attacked was not i'm Stantly killed. It's operator seemed to have perfect control of it's move ments, and would bend it back till the end would touch the water, forming a horseshoe loop. then with 8 sweep 1t would be strengthened and brought over and down on the back of the whale with 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 the strike, mak- ing a report as loud as a yachts sig nal gun.
 What seemed most remarkable to me was that no matter witch way the at- tackled whale went. or how fast (the usual speed is about IA knots). that great club would follow right along by
  blows at intervals Of about four or five seconds. It 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 l would generally rid itself of the enemy 1 when it took its deep sound, especially i if the water was 40 fathoms or more deep During the day the attack ] was always off shore. but at night the whales would be attacked in the bay and within 400 yards of the fishery. I do not know of any whales being killed. but there were several that had 1 great holes and sores on their backs. 1 Questioning the Indians about it, I was told that there was only one. that 1 it had been there for many years, and 1 that it once attacked an Indian canoe 1 and with one stroke of the great club l smashed the canoe into splinters, kill 1 ing and drowning several of it's occn- l pants.-Forest and Stream.
