Bowheads Which Were Slain
on Profitable Voyage.

San Francisco.-The steam wheler
William Baylies, with fortune in
whalebone slowed away in her hold, has
arrived from the arctic The Baylies
and the Monterey were the only vessels
OF the arctic fleet to escape from the ice.
The Monterey was in company with the
Baylies until the ice assumed threat
ening aspect. On account of her dimin-
utiVe size the Monterey started for home
After she left the Baylies began to catch
whales and had no more trouble with
the ice
To the harpoons of the William Bay
lies there fell 10 bowhead whales. which
yielded 10000 pounds of bone. This
bone. under ordinary circumstances
would be worth from IS to So pound
The Imprisonment in the ice of the re-
mainder OF the fleet. however. will have
the effect of increasing the worth of the
Baylies' catch to 81 or IS pound
From captain to green hands all are paid
for the voyage certain proportion or
lay of the value OF the catch. This pro-
portion varies according TO the man s
rating. The green hands. whose inter
est is something more than two hun
dredths, are paid on a basis of $3.50 a
pound.
Capt. Bodfish, master of the William
Baylies, will receive more than SIG. 900
for his eight months work. His mate
will get $4,000 second mate $4,000. and
so on down the line. The green hands
will receive $500 each. less the amount
charged against them. In the latter
case the process used in fixing the value
Of the bone is reversed. For bone worth
IS the green hand is paid $3.50 pound.
and for shirts worth 90 cents he is
charged s.. When the green hands OF
the William Baylies receive what is left
OF that $500 they may realize something
of the true meaning of frenzied finance.
But some OF them will go whaling next
year.
The biggest whale caught by the Will
liam Baylies yielded $500 pounds OF
bone. Apart from it's financial success
the cruise was uneventful and the Will
liam Baylies brought back all her boats
intact. She did not even SILVER her
timbers.
