 The first of the month a report came to the mission that a whale was strand. ed on all island close by. Now while Capt Jensen of the Cottage City asserts that all they have to eat at the mission is whale oil and dry fish, none of us had ever seen a whale on land. One after noon two of the teachers and some boys went to locate the island, which seemed to be somewhere, but no one knew just where After rowing all over the sound they met a party returning from the whale who reported that the smell was SD thick that you couldn't take pic ture through it. Another party re- ported that the air was so thick that you could row a boat right over the island. The next afternoon the Will liam, with Mr. Walton as captain and the mission force as crew, went whal- ing. We were told to steer by our noses, but not smell did we smell. We landed on an island, but no whale. But we were lucky. Mir. Merrill came along and not only showed us the island but took a number ashore in his boat. The whale, which was huge male, was estimated to be 75 feet long. It had evidently been dead long time, and had come in on very high tide. The body was badly decayed, but as it was frozen and strong wind was blowing there was no smell to speak of. Several of the party walked over the frozen body and the next day it was re- ported that these same ones were wash ing clothes. It is needless to say that all enjoyed the trip and wish to thank MT. Walton and Supt. Beattie for our whalipg.-Sitka Thlinget.
