swordfish Kills Two whales.
(San Pedro correspondence Los Ange
TimeS.)


TimeS.)
Capt. Swenson, of the power launch
Leone, which arrived last night from San
Nicholas Island, reports a desperate bat
tie between a swordfish and two whales
which occurred day before yesterday off
that island and resulted in the death of
both the whales, the bodies being later
washed ashore by the tides and secured
by Swenson.
When first seen by Swenson the battle
was at its height and the monsters of the
deep were flashing the waves into fury i'm
their desperate conflict, the huge bodies
of the whales rising many feet out of the
water in their attempt to inflict damage
to their enemy. The swordfish, which was
an exceptionally large specimen, had the
hight all its own way, and succeeded in
killing both its adversaries.
The larger of the whales is about 20
feet in length and 20 feet in diameter,
while the smaller is % feet in length and
II feet in diameter. The sword of the
sworiifsh had entirely penetrated the body
of the larger whale, and there were num-
erous jabs in the bodies of both. The
bodies were washed upon the beach, and
Capt SwenSon made an Intellectual attempt
TO pull the small specimen off the beach
and tow it TO San Pedro. but the weight
was too much for his engines. He there
upon covered the bodies with sand and
will make an attempt to bring them over,
using larger boat.
