men to see the peculiar value of the
fore-and-aft schooner for whaling pur.
poses. But he had better idea than
that. He purchased the old three-mastei
schooner Mystic, and at considerable ey
pense had her fitted out with huge iro,
tanks to hold the prospective oil. The o.a
| method OF slowing oil was by means o,
the time-honored and cumbersome five.
! barrel casks.
Now. with these iron tanks below, tire
oil Is tried out from the blubber and then
bumped directly into the tanks. Scarcely
| a drop is spilled or wasted. The old way
made it necessary to first cool the oil on
deck and then syphon it into the CASKS
below. In bad weather it was always
nasty job, with gallons Of hot oil stopping
all over the vessels deck. thus not only
making it dangerous and uncomfortable
for the crew, but entailing a considerable
| loss to the owners.
The tank scheme has worked so well
in the case of the Mystic that Captain

following suit. and the days Of the old

The success of these short whaling
voyages depends in a great measure upon

THE VETERANS LINING UP.

Thereupon Captain James f. Avery, a
veteran whaleman, bought the small
schooner Margaret and sailed her to the
Hatteras grounds. His first voyage was
crowned with success. Captain Horace
Smith. an old Arctic whaleman. also fell
i'm line. In 1910 he had purchased the
nackerel schooner A. NJ. Nicholson, and
at an expense of 10000 had fitted her out
for cruise 10 the Indian Ocean. The

whales used to be found. failed to pan
out as he had expected. and Captain Smith

THE REVIVAL IN WHALING.

With the practical extinction of the bow
head whale the decline in the price Of
whalebone, and the financial risk insep-
arabic from fitting out the big square
ringers for Arctic and Antarctic voyages,
whaling received what was considered a
knockout blow from which II would never
recover. Owners grew weary OF risking
good money tor problematical returns--in
many cases q dead loss. Now. at the
present writing. whaling prospects look
brighter. thanks 10 the handy little
schooners and the close proximity of the
Hatteras grounds.
