SPURNS FILTHY LUCRE WHALE WAS A FIGHTER
ENACTED HEAVY PENALTY FOR
DEATH or HER CALF.
Hunters Paid Dearly for Blunder sf
MAN Who WisIded Harpoon--
Amazing vIndletlveness Shown
by Ocean Monster.

The gray whale. a huge mammal
that inhabits the North Pacific ocean.
and is most often found along the
American coast, particularly in the
Gulf of California. makes so vigorous
fight when attacked and is so terri
ble an adversary that 1t Is known
among sailors as the deyil-hsh.
These huge sea mammals are some
times a source of much danger to
peaceful passing boats, having the
same effect as COW on railroad
track A vessel bowling along at full
speed, hitting one Of these immense
bodies a broadside blow is visibly dis
turbed, and II the ship is small and
weak there is often wreck.
1t has always been a standing order
among the whalers that calf should
never be injured when the mother is
near. Neglect of this order was once
the cause Of a catastrophe. A fleet
Of thirteen American whaleships was
off the coast of Lower California, and
fifty-two boats. four from each ship,
were out. In some way, in striking
large COW whale, a harpoon trans
fixed her calf, which was at her side.
and killed it instantly.
The mother quickly satisfied her.
self that the calf was dead, and then
turned upon her aggressors like a
veritable demon of destruction.
While carefully avoiding the ex-
posure of her body to attack, she
spread devastation among the fiotilla.
When she arose to the surface 1t was
but for second, to emit an expira-
tion like the hiss of a lifting safety
valve. and at the same instant to
destroy boat or complete the de-
struction of one already hopelessly
damaged Every blow was dealt with
accuracy and an appearance Of pre-
meditation. The speed of the monster
was go great that she appeared al
most simultaneously at widely separ-
Rted points Not content with deal
ing one tremendous blow at a boat.
and reducing 1t to a bundle of loose
boards. she attacked the wreckage
again and again.
Utter generalization seized even
the veterans. The distance to the
shore was great, and the huge whale,
80 far from spending her fury, seemed
only to grow more desperately In
earnest as the work of destruction
went on At last two boats succeeded
in reaching the beach The crews
had hardly leaped overheard to run
their craft up when close behind
them in the shallow water appeared
their relentless enemy. She was just
too late.
Out OF the fifty.two boats only two
escaped undamaged More than fifty
men were badly injured, and six, one
OF whom was the unfortunate origi-
nator of the mischief. were killed
outright

INDIAN STUDENTS
OFF FOR SCHOOLS

Mclaughlin, Sept. "a Major
Hamilton, Of Fort Yates, n. D.,
has sent large numbers of Stand
ing Rock reservation Indian child
rem to the different Indian schools
this fall. One left for Haskell In
stitute at Lawrence, Kan; three
others to WahpetOn, n. d.; fifteen
to Flandreau; nine to Bismark, n.
d., and others to Columbus college,
Chamberlain, and to Conway
school at Carlisle, Pa.
Last year no fewer than 1873
Indian boys and girls attended
schools away from the reservation,
and it is probable the number this
year will be equally large. The
young Indians derive much benefit
from their attendance at schools
away from home and the govern
ment encourages the ambitions Of
the younger generation who desire
to secure an education higher than
that afforded by the schools on the
reservation.

determined by the depth of the
