WHALE HITS WATERSPOUT.
Strange Contest Seen BY Steamer
Crew From Nome.


Tacoma, Wash.-The steamer Elihu
Thomson, which has arrived from
Nome, reports that during the run
through Boring sea there occurred one
incident that was of great interest to
the crew. A storm was in progress
and a waterspout of generous dimen-
sions was observed making it's way
across the stormy stretch of sea that
separated the vessel from shore. A
whale, which had been spouting in the
neighborhood, got into intimate re-
lations with the waterspout. The re-
volving pillar OF water was a formid-
able proposition to tackle, but SO was
the whale, and it was hard to decide
which would come off second best.
The whale stood on end in the mid
die of the waterspout, but there he
stuck The force of the whirling
column was not sufficient to lift him
from the water. On the other hand,
with the whale in its clutches. the
waterspout could not maintain an ex-
istence, and, as a result, broke sudden
ly and the immense column of water
that had been suspended between sky
and sea fell with a crash into the sea
from whence it came.
