A GREAT WHALING VOYAGE.

This is a story very much In the style
OF The Cruise OF the Chachalot,' 1t Is
full of sailors experiences, Of instruction
about and experiences with whales. and
the reader might fairly consider himself
a qualified whalemap after reading the
book; and yet IL Is not a book OF tedious
instruction. but OF adventure, OF enter
tainment, OF rapid action and quick
witted resources. The tales told by the
old hands lose nothing OF piCturesqueness
in telling, but are great and well told.
Out OF sheer desire TO see what 1t was
like. Mr., Burns shipped on whaler as
"greenhorn," making the voyage from
san Francisco up into the Arctic. The
ship wallowed through hurricanes, traded
with the natives. bumped and was caught
In the Arctic solid Ice, and the crew cap
turcd their share OF 'bowheads " The
story is of personal adventure and keen
observation, perhaps last first -ha nd
glimpse OF a dying industry and the life
1t entailed on the men who followed it."
The narration is a graphic one. told with
fine skill, and with due regard to propor-
ton and 10 the human nature OF the cal
ling.
