OFF BRAZIL
HOW THE BIG CREATURES ARE
HUNTED AND KILLED.
Harpooned From Heavy Boats and
Lanced epeatedly-Ready Mar
ket Is Found for the Whale
bone, Oil and Meat.

The whalebone whale, known in sci
ence as balaenoptera musculus, be-
longs to the family of roquals, and its
catching is one of the principal indus
tries of Brazil, from Assn da Tore to
Caravellas. The whales caught along
this stretch of coast have on an av1
erage about $50 plates of whalebone
hanging from the roof of their upper
jaws. They average about 32 inches
in length, and because of their short
ness have little commercial value.
The length of this variety of whale Is
from 60 to 70 feet. The largest one
taken last year gave 5,104 quarts of
Oil from blubber and Alp quarts from
scraps. Its lower jawbone was 17.3
feet long, and its total length was 70
feet.
The boats used by the Brazilian
whalers are heavy, hand made affairs,
capable of standing great strain. On
each side of the prov Is attached a
hornlike projection of natural bent
wood, around which pass the ropes at
tached to the harpoons. In a boats
equipment are from eight to twelve
harpoons, each attached to about fifty
feet of manila rope. Each boat also
carries from two to four lances, to
which are attached lines easily cut
away, when danger threatens.
AS soon as harpoon is thrown in.
to whale the big creature leaps In
the water and starts away at great
speed. At once the sail is lowered
and the rudder taken in. From time
to time the whale slackens his speed,
and then the line is hauled in until
finally the whale is near enough to
permit lances to be thrown into II.
The lances easily penetrate the whale
and are as easily jerked out again,
and again the whale is stabbed with
them until vital point has been
struck or the whale succumbs from
loss of blood.
When the whale is killed 1t is the
duty of one of the crew to dive under
the carcass and pass a rope with
which to tie up the mouth, otherwise
such a quantity of water would be TAX
en- in that the whale would sink. AS
this usually takes place at sea and
the whale is always surrounded by
voracious sharks which have been at.
tracted by the blood the task requires
no little courage and skill.
! The whale Is towed to the beach
and cut up, the fat being separated
from the meat and the bones. The
blubber Is taken to an oil factory, the
meat is smoked and so finds ready
sale at Bahia and in the country.
On one occasion thirteen whales
were landed at a station within thir
ty-six hours. The average catch dur
ing the last few seasons has been from
30e to 400 whales.
