NANTUCKET,s FAMOUS WHALER.
Capt. Grant Spent SO Years Aboard Hhai'
ing Vessels.

Cam Grant, the world famous whaling
master of Nantucket. early this week endea
LIES voyage and dropped anchor in the
Haven OF Rest" bringing to a close the career
of q man with an unspotted character. VINO
spent nearly sixty years of his life on the sea-
amassins several largo fortunes yet ovlhg
almost . psuper.
cant. Charles Grant was the greatest whale
man the world has ever known, says the Nan
tucket correspondent Of the Boston Herdld.
and Mt the time Of his death was also the oldest
whaling master in the United States. being
nearly 90 years OF age. He brought into port
more oil than any other single captain known
in the history Of the whaling industry OF the
world, and made more money than any man
that ever speared a whale. Yet he died a poor
man. and although he derived a snug sum
from every voyage he did not own the house
he lived in.
He was born on Nantucket on June II. 1914,
and began his career az a whaleman when
only II years old
His first voyage was in the John Jay OF
Nantucket In the capacity OF steward. The
old ship sailed on December 3. 1925. but 1t
was A broken voyage, although lasting three
wears. Capt. Alexander Drew. the master.
in A quarrel stabbed his second mate with a
carving knife while at the table and was sent
home In irons. 1t was anything but a bright
beginning for young Grant, and the ship took
less than 1000 barrels of sperm oil on the
voyage.
Altogether he spent filty-six years OF his
life aboard whalers. and besides helping to
take nearly $4,000 barrels Of sperm as an
ofncer he brought home as master about
%. 900 barrels more, besides 1900 pounds OF
whalebone and eighteen pounds Of amber girls.
Capt. Grant had many exciting experiences
with he leviathan ms OF the deep. and his exploit
while first officer on the Mount Vernon in
1870 Is considered the most extraordinary on
record. The details of the affair remained
vivid throughout his life. and it was one of
his favorits tales for the summer Wis tors.
Il suppose / am a bit boastful, he would
say. but then It was a pretty slick thing for
a young fellow Of twenty-six to do. We were
off the coast Of Peru and had struck a large
sperm whale just at shutdown. The big
fellow sounded, took out all the line had.
and by the time he came To the surface it
was dark. The ship came up alongside my
boat and the captain wanted TO know what
| intended TO do. Let me stay by this whale
all night l shouted.
Seeing that ] was persistent the captain
gave his consent. with the understanding
that II he should set two lights on the ship |
must cut the line and go aboard. Not much.
/ wanted that whale. and although theweather
looked nasty and the lights were set three
times I paid no attention to them
About 7 o'clock the fun commenced. The
whale rot tired Of keeping stu. and suddenly
stsrted OF on q vest-northwest course towing

us behind him. We had seventy fsthoms of
line out. and went whizzing through the water
faster than these motor boats ever thought
of going. The whale never sounded once
and kept UP his pace all night. | set a light
on my boat. so that the ship could follow
and there We sat all night long.
Il never saw a whale with so much en-
durance. We surely travelled 100 miles dur
ing the night. and it was not until G o'clock
the next morning that he slackened his speed
l could see that he was getting tired, and an
hour later ! succeeded in getting another
iron into him and killed him. When the
ship caught up with US, Just before noon, we
were all pretty well tuckered out, l can tell
you. That whale made los barrels of the
finest oil you ever saw"
The captains statement always carried
with it all sorts Of vouchers. and the truth OF
this remarkable exploit is recorded on the
pages of the whaling industry, and in the
famous "Cap'n's Room" of Nantucket, prop
erly known as the Pacific Club.

Among makers Of steel and steel products
there Is no difference OF opinion about bust
ness. 1t Is as good as 1t can be In almost
every channel Of trade in domestic markets.
and is making good exhibits for the export
trade. The position of the larger steel max
ing CORPORATIONS Is conditioned on as much
work under way as will sufice for several
months operation at maximum capacity
and good prospects for important booking
later in the year. Rail makers are having
a record year, notwithstanding the fact that
new steam railroad projects are mostly too
far of in wants of material to AFFECT this
years rail busln ess. But there Is no road Of
Importance that by reason Of the tremendous
trahlc Of the past few years is not now In the
market for renewals. The nation has more
than ooo. 900 miles of rails, and this means a
large annual buying of rails for upkeep.
Among the machinery makers all con-
ditions point to better trade, and the tone OF
the machinery market Is buoyant. a fact
which has lately led TO the placing Of heavy
orders for raw and northumberland steel.
First come, FIRST served, is the rule with steel
making interests. and for this reason tho
machinery makers consider II best TO be for
ward Of their requirements for material.
For many kinds OF special steel domestic
and foreign makers report continuous good
demands, especially for high speed metal.
For mining machinery. electrical apparatus.
metal working machinery, patented steam
and marine engineering tools and appliances
and typewriting machines the export trade
is improving.
Prices Of rails, billets. bars. structural
steel and other heavy products are unchanged
from Ions ruling rates.

IRON AND STEEL.
inactive Conditions Govern Pig Iron-ActiVe
Markets for Steel Products.

The improvement in the domestic markets
for pig iron which began a few days ago was
etfectually dampened by the advanced prices
which a number OF makers put forth early
in this week. Most of the business that was
done after the rise related to the closing OF
negotiations that had been begun before
tn advance. and which was finally closed
at the first named quotations, Such other
business as has been reported for account
of the latter part of last week was for small
orders. The general opinion held by i'm
portant consumers OF foundry iron with
relation to the advanced prices is, that the
excuse for higher pric es-the disputes In the
coal trade-ahorded fimsy foundation for
the imposition Of Q considerable advance
upon commodities that are not directly
affected by the conditions between coal
miners and operators. This feeling among
consumers has brought about a lull In the
foundry iron trade, except with q Few pro-
ducers, who after marking up their metal
early in last week we're moved by the lull
that eneued to remark quotations back to
old figures. on which basis considerable
business wae effected during Friday and
Saturday.
Notwithstanding the quiet conditions that
have generally marked the foundry iron
trade for several weeks, there Is nowhere
O considerable amount Of iron at furnaces.
With a few exceptions Northern furnaces
are well sold up for some time ahead. and
the same conditions exist at most Southern
furnaces. There are few consumers Of foup-
dry iron In a large way who are not prodding
iron makers for metal long overdue. Con-
ditions as to business prospects for iron
founders were never better at springtide.
In most important lines founders are facing
better markets than ruled o year ago; in
other channels for cast iron wares business
is we'll up TO the volume of a year ago.
The demands for fuel are insistent Coke
ovens are far oversold, and buyers are cheer
fully paying the advanced prices.
