engineer Went Down Twelve Times
After Huue Mammal,

The schooner Charles Hensen, which
left San Francisco last spring. osten-
sibly for whaling cruise, but really
to trade for furs, has arrived
During her eight months cruise she
captured only one whale, which pro-
duced 1920 pounds of bone. The furs
gathered by trading were sent down
some time ago. Another big whale
was killed, but on account of the ice
it was lost. The mammal which was
the biggest those on board had ever
seen, came up through one of the
holes in the ice,. and the crew killed
it, Before it could be fastened it
sank.
The crews of the schooners Olga
and Charles Hensen, both vessels be
ing operated by the same concern
were unwilling to give up such prize,
and Chief Engineer Porter of the Olga,
go down and secure the whale. He
equipped in diving suit, offered to
descended to the bottom Of the Arctic
ocean twelve times and fastened hooks
to the whale.
But when 1t came to hosting it to
the surface 1t was found to be an inn
possibility on account of the ice. The
diver found the whale under shelf
of ice, and the ice was forty-five feet
in thickness. The crews exploded soc
pounds of powder in an effort to break
the ice. After trying for eight days
they were compelled to give up.

Hundreds of women suffer from head
aches, dizziness, restlessness, languor

their head, another for their stomach,
third for their nerves, and yet all the
while it is simply their poor blood that
is the cause of their discomfort
If one sure remedy for making good,
rich blood were used every one of their
distressing ailments would disappear, as
