shrieks thatarose high above the shrlll
and awful Rowling Of hurricane, a
tortured whale rent the night air for
six hours as it vainly strove to vomlt
the knot line and rotator of the
schooner j. NJ Weatherwax, which 1t
had swallowed The Weatherwax took
twelve days to come down from Eure-
ka to this port, and part of the delay
is attributed to the mad struggles OF
the whale in trying to dissorge the
rotator.
According to the log of the vessel,
the monster whale was found to have
swallowed the knot line and rotator
of the schooner, and was forced along
at fifteen knots per hour by the storm,
which caused the rotator to inflict aW-
full internal wounds on the leviathan.
Death ended the sufferings of the
whale shortly after the line was cut
by tender hearted sailor.
