School of Seventy-five Follow
Vessel for Two Hours.
Never Before In Memory of Shippers
Were Huge Mammals so Num-
erous Along Atlantic Coast
as at Present Time.

New York-No vessel passing
through the picket line of whales
which has patrolled the Atlantic coast
from Florida to Maine since July has
encountered such a large school as
did the schooner Ella L. Davenport,
which arrived the other day from
Charleston, S. c., with lumber. Never
before in the memory OF shippers ma
king this port were the huge mann
mails so numerous as at the present
time. WhaIers which formerly were
forced to traverse Arctic seas in
search of their quarry merely put out
to sea nowadays and harpoon their
prey.
Il had seen several small schools of
whales on the way up" said Captain
John F. Dunton, of the Davenport.
None of these schools came very
close. But about 20 miles southeast
of Winter Quarter Shoal Etghtship,
down at the Delaware Capes, She larg-
est bunch of 'em l ever saw Eove up
Srom the south. 1t wasn't a school, 1t
was big university. You can't count
whales very well, because as soon as
you count one he bobs under, comes
up IN another place, dives down again
and sticks up his spout for another
tally.
But / marked the ocean off into
four parts when the whales circulated
all around, and gave one quarter to
the first mate, one quarter to the sec
ond mate, the third quarter to the
bo'swain and the fourth to my wife.
I kept tally on all four. Dividing by
three to account for the natural rest
lessness Of the animals, I'm pretty
sure that there were at least rs
whales in that university. My wife
declares there were 200.

G. Stanley Hall, president of Clark uni

dress.
''I do not believe in too much fog

he asserted. Americans protect their

Bees Stop Sale.

York, Pa-While an auctioneer at
the sale of the property of Mrs. Har-
vey Smell, at Carleyville, this county,
was asking for bids upon a hive Of
bees, the little honeymakers became
ruff1ed at the inspection to which they
were subjected. They sailed forth,
putting to flight hundred or more
people, including the auctioneer. A
number were stung and the sale had
to be postponed until the bees settled
into the hive again.

Sullivan caught the first one, and to

fast grounder between Chase and La
porte. 1t was too far removed from
either man to be f1elded. 1t was hit,
if ever one in that territory was one.
Chase swept over in the direction
of the smash, and with a sweep of his
gloved hand, speared the ball. Man
ming, who figured that the smash
would go safe, did not start to cover
the bag until Chase had made the
stop. Then it was too late. Hal had
to wait until he reached the bag and
then throw hurriedly. The toss was
faulty and Sam went to second.
In two of the rounds which followed
Chase made stops of throws that drew
further words of admiration from the
crowd.
