THE HOWE MOVING PICTURES.

in Ireland, and a few scenes Of daily life

BY far the best and most realistic pic
lures were those which showed a modern
whaler. The views were taken from on
board the whaling vessel. Very distinctly
the big fish could be seen blowing in
the water; the boat chased them; the har-

was seen alongside the ship being towed
ashore. Ii was not until the big fish was
hauled on shore and the men began strip
