Atlantic by a very narrow opening, One morn
ing n whirwind appeared to be approa ching
over the water in the bay Of San Salvador. and
soon this was made out TO be an enormous 'us
school Of whales, 80 thick that they seemed
to be 1ostling one another, Nothing was seen
but fins and tails and the water In foam all
around This was In q flowing tide, and they
came Into the inlet describing sort OF
cyclodaI curves until the inshore part OF tho
squadron took on q klein reef. Then q sudden
pause seemed to seize them all and the IN,
Fortunate animals went UP the inlet ful!
speed. with tho sea boiling In upon them and
~ great wave coming after them and they
piled I'm In hundreds on the beach. Then. as
there was rising tide they got off again,
but only to charge the opposite beach, and this
continued until the following tide and loss Of
strength loft them high and dry all round
tho dreary hay. Very few old or young, lived

water with their blood. BY evening. after. that
tide had ebbed there We're only five whales
afloat out OF the more than 500 that had
come into tho inlet SO majestically that morn
Ing. Next day only three were to be seen.
They swan round for a while and then, as u
dis,laining to live when all their companions
