Queer Marine Monster a Natural En-

While operating at Il fishery in Adj

attention and the attention OF the fish
ing crew We're almost daily attracted to
II large marine creature that would ap-
pear in the main channel of Seymour
canal and our immediate vicinity.
There are large numbers of whales of
the species rorqual there, and the mon
ster seemed to be their natural enemy.
The whales generally travel In schools,
and while ut the surface to blow one
would lac singled out and attacked by
the fish, and II battle was soon in order.
1t IS the nature of the rorqual to
make three blows ut intervals of from
two TO three minutes euch. and then
sound deep and stay beneath the sur
face for thirty or forty minutes. As a

The great club was used on the back

that every whale attacked was not In

have perfect control of its movements
and would bend 1t back until the end

was fortunate enough to submerge it

would fly for distance OF hundred
feet from the effect of the stroke, max

WAS that, no matter which way the
attacked whale went or how fast (the
usual speed Is about fourteen knots).

four or five seconds 1t would always
get in from three To five blows Mt each
of the three times the whale would

whale would generally rid itself of the
enemy when 1t took its deep sound.
especially If 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.
