Whale Goes Skvlarking.

A frolicsome young whale was OBJ
served skylarking in midocean in the
course of the American liner Philadei-
phia. The lookout in the Philadelphia
crownest and the officers on the bridge
kept an eye on the whale, which seemed
oblivious to the Philadelphia approach.
He would not signal whether he would
go to port or starbOard, so the Philadel-
phia kept right on. SO did the whale.
He found out too late to alter his course
that it might have been wiser to give the
right of way to the liner. AS he turned
at right angles with the liner it's stem cut
him in halves as clearly as a knife might
divide a pat of butter. The bow end of
him gasped a bit and his fukes were
tremulous for awhile. Nobody except
the officers and lookouts knew anything
about the tragedy, as it made no impress
sion whatever on the ship. A paragraph
in the wireless paper contained for most
of the passengers the first information
that the whale had been killed.
