may be the end of the whaler.
Now, all of these things used to
happen in the old days. Once whale
smashed boat and the crew floated
all night on the carcass-that's a
whaling classic. In j. T. Browns
book, "Stray Leaves from a Whaler's
Log" Is told In detail how Vera, the
Portuguese boat steerer, uttered cry
and "the immense glistening lower
jaw, armed with two rows Of polished
teeth, flashed from the water when
the gigantic whale leaped into the
air, carrying with it the head of the
boat, which had snapped asunder, and
the unfortunate Vera, whose head and
long arms were suspended from the
corners of the monsters mouth
Two other men, the bow and midship
oarsmen, were never seen again.
The Essex of Nantucket in 1919 met
this fate: The captain and first mate
being fast to a big sperm whale, Owen
Chase, second mate, headed the ship
toward them. The whale came to the
surface and fiercely rammed the ship
bow on, stopping her as If she had
struck rock. 1t passed under the
ship, scraping her keel and coming
up astern. After swapping it's Jaws
and thrashing the water with It's tail,
the monster rammed the second time,
with It's head half out of water 1t
struck the ship directly under the
cathead and completely stove In her
bows. 1t then went under the ship
and disappeared to leeWard The
Essex sank. After ninety days of hor-
rifying experiences in two boats, the
crew were picked up, the mates boat
by the brig India of London and the
captains by the whaler Dauphin.
There's no chance for anything like
this in modern steam whaling The
high-speed boat can run rings around
the fastest whale. A big gun in the
bow shoots barbed harpoon carrying
a bomb timed for three seconds. The
explosion inside the whale kills in
stantly. The carcass is then pumped
full Of air. Ultimately the steamer
tows it's captures to it's shore station
where the oil is extracted and the
meat canned by modern machinery.
And there's ice. In 1871 fleet of
forty-two whalers was caught in the
Arctic and only one escaped More
than 1000 men were shipwrecked, but
escaped in boats. And New Bedford's
loss was more than a million dollars.

nerves and he asked ST. Peter, who's
that uppity chap Who tries to queer

'Oh, that's JONAH" said st. Peter.
Which raises the question, Has
Jonah any right to take on airs? In
other words, did the whale swallow
Jonah?
Not wishing to be caught between

the fundamentaliSts and modernists,
this deponent further sayeth not. But
as to whether the whale could have
swallowed Jonah, why, bless you. that
all depends upon the kind of whale
it was. If Jonah's whale was like the
one shown in the old print reproduced
why, one gulp could have done it.
For this is toothed whale (cacha-
lot, sperm whale, spermace1 whale).
It's length often runs to sixty feet. It's
head forms about one-half it's bulk
and extends more than one-third Of its
length. It's mouth Is very large and
wide and it's throat Is large enough to
pass a man with ease.
Incidentally, there's a new book out

tenant Commander Fitzhugh Green,
U. S. N, f. A. G.. S., M. Sc. The

in the very first chapter we find this:
Moreover, it is really surprising how

yarn !. Our own Literary Digest
has printed true story of a whaler
launching two whale boats of a full
equipment of men in an attempt to
capture a gigantic sperm whale. In

men were saved except two who were
supposed to have been drowned. The

On the other hand, If Jonah met up
with a toothless whale-why, there
was nothing doing, except by way or
miracle. The toothless whale may be
just as big as a toothed whale and
have just as large mouth, but that
mouth is chock full of whalebone,
through which is strained the food.
Besides, the gullet is absurdly small
for so huge creature.
Those who think of a whale as
"big fish" should think again. It's
big enough-the only bigger living
thing Is the Big Tree of California.
But the whale Is as much an animal
as horse or sheep. It has lungs;
breathes air; gives birth to its young
and suckles 1t. Moreover, the mother
whale displays great affection for her
2-foot offspring.
