OCEAN MONSTERS IN BATTLE

Early on the morning of August IA last, while
engaged in building new quarters for the light
house keeper at Breaksea island, near Rottnest
Western Australia, the contractor and his men
noticed bull whale with COW and calf passing
the island some distance off.
An hour or so later-about nine o'clock to be
exact--the men were startled by an extraordinary
noise apparently coming from the eastern end of
the island a noise unlike ANYTHING they had eve,
heard before Dropping their tools and starting
toward the east they beheld such sight as 1t falls
to the lot of few people to witness There not 500
yards from the shore was being waged battle
