'whales,' said Skipper Bill sptnis Of NE
little schooner Gussie, which ID lying In Tho
stream OF Liberty Island, whales II ourt-
eus dsh. , ~, =
sThere n FOLKS a. will tell you that Whalsa
amt fab at al, but I happens to know
better than that. Haven't they got tale
and don't they swim In the water just Hike
any other fishf Then, says I, fsh they 10.
Mammals you may call them, and oetaceaus,
and you may call the old girl whales cows.
and tho old fellows bulls, but to my way
o. thinking they 10 fish. re-
'Fished for 'em myself many's the ttznss
and some I ~harpooned. but Of course NOT
In the Gussie. No, the Gussie amt big
enough for that, and she amt got more'n
enough room for half o w~haleboat's crew.
but fshed for em / did, along with my
father, sailing out Of New Bedford In the
days when there warn't no coal oil, and
folks used to burn sperm, II they could buy
It,
what I wants to tell about Is the school
that we seen of the Jersey coast this last
trip, Biggest school ever / see-so big
I guess / almost ought to call It q university.
and I would, only folks generally says
school, which Ii just one more proof that
whales Is fish. Pc
There they was swimmln' about u
most all the time south Of tho Delaware
Breakwater and this side o. the Frying
Pan shoals. Sometimes they was close
aboard, and then they would haul away
% Aha xNrbarl and xuA vun,tldnIt 1oA 'aIla
for q day or SO; but they always como
back, and we brought 'em with us clean up
to the Hook - =
Il tried mighty hard to get n or two Of
'em to como along inside, SOS I could sand
one to the fsh circus at the Battery, where
Jenny Lind used TO sing, and get another
to 60 down to Coney, SOS folks could eco
for tn emselves that whales is fish.
But ! didn't have no luck this time.
Soon az I can get this cargo o. logwood
out tho Gussie, back I am going Oh the
Jersey shore an make a deal TO get that
whole blamed school near soma summer
hotel. Guess 1t will pay better'n hauling
logwood, an the Gussie's too darned slow
TO 60 after bananas. They'd get ripe and
rot In her hold before she could mako Tybeo
Light.
4 sThipk I am talkin' through this old
hat OF mine, do youf Well I amt, and
there amt nobody what knows better
what 10 do than i does. That school 10
trained AMI I oan do pretty much what I
please with IL. Couldn't get IL to como
inside the Hook, of course, because It was
AFRAID that + might turn It into whalebone
and stuff but since they has Seen that
