whaler Essex on November 90, 1920. was

whale supposed to have been the

very determined. AT her first rush she

cause the crew had to and the YES
sci, and one boat was never heard OF

! A more singular instance of n whale
attacking q vessel occurred in 1895; the
singularity lies in the fact that in the
case of the Handa Isle the attack was
entirely u~nprovoked. This vessel, q
brigantine of 260 tons, was on her way
to Sydney with a cargo OF timber. On
August gath. about. noon. q couple OF
sperm whales rose very close to the
vessel, and while tho crew watched
them sporting across her bows the
pair suddenly slowed around and came
straight for her. One thought better
of 1t and dived below the Handa Isle
the other struck her fair and SQUARE
on the beam, crushing in her timbers
Having rammed the ship in this resolute
fashion it sheered off terribly damaged

BAD NEGRO JUST
 MISSES LYNCHING
ACCUSED OF INSULTING A WHITE WOMAN, NEGRO FLEES AND KILLS POLICEMAN WHO TRIES TO ARREST HIM.

Easton, Pa. August 27.-There was much excitement about the county jail Rt o'clock this morning, due to rumor from South Bethlehem that a party of determined iron workers had left that borough in an automobile. to come to the county seat and take William Handy, a South Carolina negro. from the jail and lynch him. Warden collins took no changes and aroused and armed all the deputies and trusties. put the double bars bn all the entrances to the prison and had the entire police force stationed about the jail After waiting until dawn for the arrival of the supposed lynchers, the officers were dismissed.
 The negro was arrested several hours earlier for the murder at South Bethle- hem last night of Policeman Shuman. The policeman had heard of negro insult mg a woman In a lonely portion of South Bethlehem and went to that quar- Ter to make an investigation. He found Handy and when he attempted to place him under arrest the negro shot and silled the policeman Policeman McCue found Handy in a yard and jumped upon .im before he could get his revolver which had been reloaded, into action. A .rowd of angry men surrounded the pris- ,ner and he was badly beaten. He was rushed to jail in an automobile. Today Handy pretends to be ignorant of the lapenrgs of last night
