yHlS is the beginning or the sea-
son when the voyager the
seven seas may sit on deck and
~ watch the leviathans of the
deep disport themselves on the
bosom of the ocean. With the coming
of September comes also the annual crop
of whale and monster stories. True
or untrue though they may be, the fact
remains that whales are most interesting
things. There is ever a lure about the
sea and the creatures that swim therein:
and. of them ALL the whale is king.
The real monsters of the deep are the
millions of creatures which roam IN
schools from the polar seas to the
warm waters OF the tropics. including
the whales, dolphins, PROPOSES, gram
puses, etc. These great creatures are
collectively known as cetaceans, and,
while resembling fish in shape-and called
such by most people-are really hot-blood
ed. air-breathing animals, belonging to
the highest class of animal life. called
the mammalian. This great group COM
prises the largest creatures either of land
or water which now exist, and as one au-
thority puts IL, "or which are known to
have lived in ancient times
The members of this vast family of sea
creatures are separated from fish by sew

into which a great quantity of water is
taken. after which the mouth is closed
and the water rushes out between the
strips and hairs of baleen, the small
animals upon which the whale feeds being
strained out and retained. The sape of
mouth of one of these whales was found
to measure ten feet, in specimen forty
seven feet in length. The largest of these
whales measure about sixty-five feet. The
enormous tail measures some twenty
feet across.
The right whale of the Pacific is
practically the same as the bowhead. The
name means that it is the right kind
to kill for a good supply of baleen. 1t
will be seen from the drawings (Which
have been made with the aid of Capt.
Scammon's Marine Mammals'D that the
bowhead and right whales are without
dorsal fins.

AT the Schwarzsee Hotel We had a

were making for the Hornli ridge and

was in store for us.
We were late in getting started in the
morning. The cabine keeper did not
call us as arranged. and it was Yum

Instead of getting away at 30 a M, as
planned. it was an hour later before we
finished our petit dejeuner' and were
ready for the big climb. We paid dear,
" later for this lost hour. The wind
had died down. which was in our favor,
and the stars were shining brightly 1t

Without losing moments time we
roped up at the cabne. lit our Ian
terms. and struck out for the crags. The
first 100 yards were easy going. which
gave us time to get accustomed to
walking by lantern light. The slope,
however. soon grew much sleeper until
we found ourselves ascending a tongue
or gully, so ''rapide' that cutting of
steps was necessary. Immediately after

extraordinary.

/, to reach the summit this season were a
Swiss and guides who found the noun
tain in bad condition and who were
caught aloft by the oncoming darkness.
On this occasion Zermatt people were
extremely anxious as to their safety.
When I began making arrangements for
carrying up a cinema camera and tripod
weighing sixty pounds. and the necessary
accessories. many thought me crazy.
| shall never forget my first close view
of the Matterhorn. Many times before
l had seen the mountain scores of miles
away when climbing in the Mont Blanc
range, but when seen from the train ar
irving at Zermatt it is the most superb
peak imaginable, by far finer than any
thing else in the Alps. As it came into
view towering above us some Germans in
the train broke into cheers. 1t looked inn
possible to conquer
/ lost no time studying it with a tele-
scope. l could see plainly the iced face
of the mountain. in places sloping only
twenty degrees from the perpendicular.
across which ii would be necessary to
carry the cinema outfit. From the Ryf-
felalp the mountain looked so dangerous
that several Alpinists advised me not to
try it early in the season. 1t was
then ! climbed up to see 1t from the
Zmutt side, where ] found 1t much less
appalling.
My arrangements were quickly made
but as 1t continued to snow on the noun
tain. making all ascents impossible. We
were forced to wait ten days for propi-
tiouS weather. AT last two things
favored our starting. For two days a
tremendous wind had been sweeping the
MatterhOrn, blowing much of the fresh
snow away. after which came two fine
days of sunshine. AS the barometer re-
manned high we made arrangements to
leave Zermatt on the morning of July l
and sleep that night at the Matterhorn
cabine at 10000 feet.
The news spread through Zermatt like
a prairie fire. and when we started early
in the morning a considerable crowd
was out to see us off.
There were five of us. My first guide
was Gabriel Zumtaugwald. who has been

durance rare in Alpine history. To save
