foundering among the rocks OF the sea
floor, eases himself with delighted scratch
ings in the depths, -..-,
| In the boat all is tense expectancy and
ordered preparation. Harpoon guns are
loaded and made ready, lines are care
| fully faxed down in the tubs, lances are
looked to and everyone is on the qui vive.
| Suddenly q sort OF shudder runs through
the sea- There are tossing pillows and
wild commotion away by the bobbing
float lines. "IIurrah! she's struck!' is
the cry.
Away go the boats. each racing to be
first fast to the struggling fish and so earn
| the bonus that rewards the winning
crew. A mighty, gray black head, en-
tangled in a clinging web Of wire, rears
from out the water. Up, up, II goes, till
a hugh bulk of body towers good 80 feet
| in the air. its side fins thrashing wildly
| in smother of foam. II curves in an arch
and then like an arrow down go whale and
net together for the sound.
Not for long, though. The upward
drag of punched net floats and its neces-
sity for breath brings the fish quickly TO
| the surface-a spouting, snortlng, wallow-
ing mass; mad with rage, wild with terror
of the unknown clinging horror that en-
velopes it.
boat in quick succession. Both irons
are home and well placed. A wild culver
OF fukes and fins, and the whale either
sounds again or races along the surface,
towing the boats after il at express speed,
But the net holds fast, and at each new
effort for freedom the victim becomes
more helplessly wound up than before.
Soon exhausted with futile struggling,
the whale comes to rest and there is a
momentary cessation of the mad fight,
as the leviathan pauses for breath. Huge
painting air gasps are plainly audible at
distance of half a mile.
The crew are quick to seize the oppor-
tunity. With the lancemen ready in the
bow the boats sweep in, one on either
side. "Steady with the lance" "Now!"
Eighty.four steel blades drive deep for the
heart behind the pectoral fins.
A SILVER. kissing spout of water and
blood. a wallow and roll of the hugh wire
tangled carcass, flashes of red and white
foam in the sunlight and the black heave
of a 20-foot fin that for one dread instant.
scimitar shaped, a falling wall Of bone and
snew, hangs over the boat and its occu-
pants, The boats crew back out like light
ming. lust in time Down crashes the
mighty fail. missing its blow by a bare
foot. There is roar and clap of many
thunders, and letting spurts OF spray leap
high into the blue.
The boats, backed clear, still hang to
the lines. the crews watching events and
waiting the end It may be that the dying
whale will sound again or race in q. final
effort. But the lances have got home.
A few more wallows of despair. the great
tail flukes thrash the water with lessening
force, and presently the huge body, inert,
lifeless lies quietly on the surface. Haw,,
sers are made fast to the dead whale, and
while the boats return to their stations
to watch the remaining nets as it is towed
by the launch to the fensing jetty ashore.

CATCHING WHALES IN NETS.
Exciting Sport in the Way They DO It
Off the Coast of New Zealand.

They catch whales in nets down arouno
New Zealand. The big fish is conserv
alive creature. and keeps its sea tracks
with almost as much regularity as an
ocean liner. =,
II is supposed that they go north by
one route, and it is known that they lateI
return south by familiar track which
brings them in touch with land. Lake
ships in tropic seas, their six months,
soiourn in line waters has gwen the
whale thick crust of clingng barnacles
and long hamper of green sea grass. .,
Many account for the presence OF the
their bodies of the intolerable itch of the
parasites. These they dislodge by rub
hing against the rocks strewn thickly IN
the landward passage.
However this may be, fair number
of the travelling whales, huggng the shore
more closely than their fellows, pass
through a narrow channel just under Cape
Brett. that separates cluster of outlying
rocks from the mainland. This is the spot
chosen for the placing Of the nets. :,
No ordinary fisherman's gear will serve
The nets used to stop monster swimming
with the momentum of a hundred-ton
mass of bone and sinew are necessarily
out of the common. g,
With a stretch of five or six hundred
feet and depth of 200, the nets, meshed
to seven feet and made of three-eighths-
inch wire rope, are hung on strong wire
cables buoyed up by hugh floats and
drogues. From high vantage posts along
the coast watchers scan the sea for the
first sign of the distant spoutings that
herald the approaching school.
At the cry of "There she blows!" out
90 the steam launches to place the nets,
three in number, that suffice to close the
narrow channel. These, unanchored, are
allowed to float loose. the ends of each
slightly overlapping. Kept taut by their
own weight, they hang stretched on the
float line, an invisible curtain OF wire
mesh barring the water run.
No human fastening has. yet been IN
vented that would stop the rush OF a
charging whale. The principle OF the
detached floating net is not to stop but
so hamper the monster with gossa-
mer of wire rope that he falls an easy
prev to the hunters. For this reason
also the nets are so placed that on strik,,
ing an entangled whale may race seward
or sound downward, carrying the envelop-
ing net, without fear of disturbing the re-
naming two. .. =,
When the nets are in position the
launches and attendant whaleboats, with
their crews, take up their stations at some
distance to watch for the upheaval and
dancing float line that marks the striking
of whale.
Often whales presence. is first indi-
Gated by great masses of broken barna-
cles and torn sea grass that come float
ing upward to the surface as the whale,
