WHALING STATION

The practical uses of whale oil
make it highly valuable. 1t is used
particularly in jute-spinning. tanner
les, also in miners lamps.
The Rest Of the Whale.
While the blubber is the most valu-
able part Of the whale, 1t is by no
means the large part of the animal;
nor is the rest Of the whale Of little
value. The gill bones, which are as
the name indicates in the head of
the animal, are used in multitude Of
ways. This is the whale-bone that is
used for stiffening in hundred things
from combs to corsets.
The carcass Of the whale is hauled
from the slip to the carcass platform.
The meat is then stripped from the
skeleton, thrown into tanks, and it's
oil rendered. The bones of the skele-
ton are separated and likewise boiled.
The bare bones are later dried and
ground into bone meal, a desirable
commercial product. The meat from
which the oil is removed is dropped
into a press, and thence removed to
the drier.
The drier is probably the greatest
piece of machinery about the plant.
1t is a revolving cylinder about forty
feet long and five feet in diameter. A
furnace is at one end, and the heat,
which approximates 1000 degrees
Fahrenheit, is blown in blasts thorugh
the center of the cylinder. The meat
fiber, blood fibrin and other animal
refuse is dropped into the furnace end
of the drier, revolved about the cylind-
ed in the heat, and dropped out at
the other end, in a form of fine dust.
All the moisture has been evaporated
from the matter, forty-five tons of
water being evaporated in the produc-
ton of twelve tons of matter. This
dust is guano, and is used as fertiliZ-
er in sugar and orange culture in Cal
iforna and Hawaii, also on tobacco
plantations. In this way there is not
single part of the whale that is
wasted.
Kinds Of Whales
Whales are not fish, but mammals
in the truest sense.
The whales in this ocean belong to
the varieties known as: Humpback,
fnback, and sulphurbottom or blue
whale OF these three kinds, the hump
back is by far the most numerous off
Grays Harbor. The finbacks which
are more valuable animal, and the
sulphurbottoms keep far out to sea.
The whales off this coast measure
from forty to eighty feet in length and
weigh about 40 or so tons.
Whales have gill bones or finners
in place of teeth, with the exception
of the sperm whale which has teeth
in the lower jaw. In the whale en-
bryo. however teeth formations ap
pear, which later disappear, attestine
as scientists state, the original pres
ence of teeth in all varieties.
The sperm whale, which frequents
the Arctic seas is the most valuable
of whales, and is most sought after

by a Norwegian, Sven Foyn. The
harpoon is about six feet long, and
at it's point are a number Of prongs
" hen the harpOon strikes the animal
little bomb explodes and the prongs
are projected outward so that the har-
poon may not be pulled out. Attach
ed to the harpoon is thick rope Of
Italian hemp, the strongest and most
pliable Of all grades Of hemp.
When the whale is captured he is
pulled to the bow Of the boat, fasten-
ed by chain and cable and thus towed
about till another is captured and the
ship brought to port.
Cutting UP the Whale
The whale, when it is brought to
the station, is drawn up by cable.
There men with long knives, called
fencing knives proceed to strip the
blubber from the animal. These
knives have handles about four feet
long, and blades of about fifteen
inches. The edge is kept very sharp.
The blubber, which is of course the
layer of fat investing the animal, va
ries in thickness, but is usually at
least foot thick. The men cut it
into long strips or blankets" from
tail to head. There are usually about
six or eight strips in the total cir
conference of the whales body. The
blubber blankets are drawn by cable
to the rear of the slip platform where
other workmen attack it with the
fencing knives, cutting it into chunks
which are fed into power-slicer,
chopping them still smaller. The
chunks of blubber are conveyed by
elevator to the blubber boiling pots
above. There are six of these huge
tanks, each large enough to contain
the blubber from two whales.
After the blubber has been removed,
the monsters tongue is cut out, a
heavy meatblanket about twenty feet
square. The whale is then cut open
and the inside fat, lying between the
intestines and the ribs is removed and
hoisted to the boiling vats.
Rendering the Oil
For eight or ten hours the fat is
boiled in the tanks, the steam coils
keeping the mass at high tempera-
ture. When the oil is rendered it
is drawn off and carried by pipes to
the cooling tanks. In drawing off the
oil. which has of course collected at
the top of the tanks an unique dip-pipe
is used. This pipe works on hinge,
and is lowered as the oil recedes, so
that it keeps always just below the
surface
After the oil is cooled it is piped
to the storage or crystallizing tanks.
All oil is in the form of crystals when
it is cool, though frequently as in
butter, the crystals are not visible
to the naked eye. In whale oil, how
ever the crystals forms are apparent.
The final steps in the process is in
refining of the oil, by which impuri-
ties are removed. The oil is also
separated into its two commercial
grades: Oline and Sterine. The OIL
is then ready for the market.

On a point OF land jutting out into
South Bay is located the buildings of
the whaling station, at once the new
es. aid most unique 81 s@.v 4l61sSi6N
on Grays Harbor. A group of build
ings at the waterfront, in the battle
ship grey or corrugated iron, the build
ings of the camp on the hill above
including, bunk house and cook house,
a few tents for the officials, make up
the new town OF Bay City, Wash, as
the whaling station is called. And
when one considers that up to the first
of March the site was nothing but
a thick forest of fir and underbrush,
and muddy tideflat, the fact that
the plant has been erected and put in
complete operation constitutes an
achievement worth while, rejecting
great credit upon the owners, the
American Pacific Whaling company,
and especially upon the superintend-
net. Mr. " H. Street, who has had
entire charge of the construction of
the plant, and now of it's operation.
The other day representative of
the Herald visited the station and Mr..
Street very cOurteously showed him
through the plant and explained the
various steps in the process. The
work of the plant. the methods of
handling the great whales, the machin-
cry used, the prosess of refining the
oil from blubber, and of utilizing the
by-products makes an interesting
study. The tyro marvels little that
this, one of the oldest of industries
and located at a remote point, should
be equipped with every device of ma
chinery and of management for the
scientific conduct of the enterprise.
But after all there is not branch
of industry which the stress of COM
petition is not forcing into the most
modern methods of production and of
operation. While not the largest plant
the whaling station at South Bay is
beyond question the most modern of
whaling plants. Every possible labor
saving device is employed. Water
tube boilers are used in the boiling
watts. California fuel oil is used ex-
clusively on the steamers and at the
station.
Catching the Whales
The whaling steamers Moran and
Patterson are used to bring in the
whales. The boats are so small that
they roll and pitch when out at sea,
yet larger boats are out OF the ques-
ton. as the whaling ship must be
able to twist and turn in every con-
ceivable manner in it's quest of the
elusive whales. Crossing the bar the
steamer sails out into the ocean drifts
and is certain to sight pack of whal-
es in short time. Then the activity,
the ingenuity, and the skill of the
men on the boat is pitted against the
wariness of the animal. 1t is not a
question of strength, but of getting
a harpoon or two in the leviathan :
he will then be bed and exhausted.
The harpoon is shot from a gun like
a two-pounder, built right in the bow
of the boat. The gun was invented
