Samuel c. Reid, ran the blockade Of
British warships of Sandy Hook and
put to sea on what was destined to
be her last voyage. The ship arrived
at the island OF Fayal, In the Azores,

cleared his decks for action. The Brit.
ish made three attacks on the General
Armstrong" In small boats. and each
time we're beaten of with heavy loss.
Finally the British vessels closed in
and began a heavy fire. Finding fur.
ther resistance against such over
whelming odds futile, Captain Reid
set n fuse TO his magazine and with
his crew safely got ashore. This bat.
tie was the last naval engagement
OF the war OF 1912. In the action the
British lost $50 in killed and wounded.
while the American loss was but two
killed and seven wounded.

WORK OF SKILL AND DARING
Japanese Whalemen Constantly Risk
Lives In the Pursuit. Of Most
Dangerous Quarry.

Many Of the Japanese whalemen are
most expert and daring men. After a
whale has been cornered, harpooned
and is slowly giving out from exhaus-
tion the nimble expert of the whaling
crew must prove his mettle.
The skilled Jap, after jumping upon
the animals back and cutting two
gashes in the head, one on each side,
through which q rope must be run,
and tied, cannot always perform his
work In one trial. Often the animal
makes a deep dive. But the little Jap
must hold fast to his quarry and dive
also, trusting to the fates that his own
air supply In his lungs will last as
long as that Of the whales.
The Jap is safer from being drowned
thar from being crushed by the infu.
riated animals tail. II the little Jap
let's 60 1t usually means his death
so he hangs on to the diving quarry.
Frequently these whalemen lose their
lives from drowning, but the members
Of their crew look upon this misfor.
tune with something Of q fatalistic
regard.
But the main business In hand Is
the capture Of the whale. AS the fight
progresses and the maddened, fright.
ened mammal grows weaker and,
finally, is dying, the boat crews row
closer to the body and pray for the
ease Of his departing spirit. Members
Of the crew will call out the words,
"Joraku! Joraku! Joraku!" and on
the third day after the mammal has
been hauled ashore a service is held
and prayers offered for the animals
future contentment Of spirit.
AS soon as the animal has been
towed to the shore line he is cut up
the Japs are making huge excavations
and penetrating inside the animals
body as though entering a mine shaft
or gallery, and eventually making
their exit, all covered with blood. II
is a gruesome sight, but is looked
upon purely as a matter of course
among the Jap whalemen.
