CONSUL D GETS
 WHACK FROM WHALE

JUNEAU -R- Whales tails are commonly applied to the rear ends of whales and not to the side of a boat.
 The Consul D, 7O-foOt fish packer, was kissed roughly on the bow Monday by the wrong end of a whale. The crew members sent sprawling to the deck, were too surprised to do more than hope that the whale wouldn't come back for seconds.
 The owner of the boat, Red" J. they were off Point Adolphus over a mile from shore when Neil French at the wheel suddenly cried "Whale!' Steear looked up to see a huge black tail coming down a. gainst the side of the bow.
 The heavy boat was knocked sideways several feet, throwing French off his stool to the deck on the other side of the pilot house, and pushing Steear into the wall where he sat. The third man of the crew, Frank Denney, was suddenly face to face with the deck in the galley below.
 The sturdily built boat suffered no leaks or evidence of cracks.
 The first French saw of the whale was when it appeared right beside the boat. Whether the whale was ignorant or ornery, the men couldn't tell.
