Newport, Ore, Aug. 27.-The appear
ance of large schools Of whales off
this coast has created much excite
ment among the summer visitors at
Newport During the past week,
schools of the monsters numbering from
ten to fifty whales have been sighted
and large crowds of interested people
have lined the beach to catch glimpse
of the leviathans.
According to old residents of New
port, it is extremely unusual for the
whales, especially in such large num-
bers, to arrive off this coast until the
latter part of September. Their ap-
pearance at this time Of the year can
ont be accounted for.
The gasoline fishing boat, collie
| S." has been making daily trips over
the bar to view the whales at close
range. On one of these trips, the pas
sengers were treated with rare sight
when large whale, fully eighty feet
in length jumped ont of the water,
Immediately followed by giant saw
fish which passed directly under it.
The collie s." succeeded in getting
within seventy.five yards of the school
and the whales could be clearly seen
spouting and disporting in the water.
The ocean has been extremely smooth
during the past ten days making it
possible to view the movements of the
whales from the beach.
