How tha Whale Is Captured and the Dangers Attending A Valuable Flsh-Oetalls of Whaling as Gathered by A. P. Sharpsteln From an old Captain who has Passed Through all the Grades Prom Deckhand to Commander. It was ray good fortune to cross the continent last week in the company of a qaartet of men who bad grown grey, in pursuing tbe wbales of ths northern sea. One of them, Csptain J. (1. Baker, had in sixteen years of rsperiencc, passed thronKh all the grades from deck band to bis present command ol the finest steamer engitKSil in the v haling industry, and vows now, ss on esch returning cruise be has atlirmed, he would no longer than an other year remain throughout the summer the companion of ice-bergs and during tbe winter a resident of the bleak Atlantic roast. "My last voyage" said the Cap tain, "positively my last. Not that I dis like the business, but sixteen years ol snow and ice and now snd then a glimpse of the Dowers and sunshine ol Cslifomis is enough to set an old man to thinking. Let the younger men take up the work and I'll lay ofT and get a touch of sun shine, watch the mercury linger at 1 snd 1-10 degrees snd sccustom myself to the world to come." Here the Captain set tled back into a period of reflection which terminated by tbe remark; "Ne vada is a dry country, very dry." Thp Captain's observation bad an interesting and pleasing effect on the car porter, snd the dryness of Nevada seemed apparent to all. The Captain was a bluff and intelligent man and readily, on request,related much of the experience of his life on the sees. In the whaling business himself for nearly a generation, and as a boy the associate of men who had inaugurated tbe industry, on the Pacific coast, there was little about the life on ship or the market on shore to which be could not bear testimony. . It was in 1848 the first whaling ship, attrscted by the stories brought by the Indiana from the North Pacific, outfitted for the Arctic seas, and so large was tbe catch and so profitable the trade with the Alaska Indians that in six years the Pa cific whaling fleet consisted of upwsrds of 500 sails. Upwards of 2,000,000 pounds of whale bone and 100,000 barrels of oil were taken in the year 185-. It was the red letter year of whaling in the Pacific seas, and from that day to the present the number of ships and the season's catch have continually suffered a de cline. The principal firms engaged in tbe busi ness now are, "Tbe Pacific Whaling com pany with two ships snd two steamers, Wright, Brown A Company with five ships, Wm. Levis with three ships and two steamers, J. N. W. It. Wing with six sails, Frederick Swift with three sails snd J. Magee, jr., with four sails. All told there are probably thirty-four sails and four steamers, having an average of three hundred and fifty tons capacity, given over exclusively to whaling. Last year the average was about seven to the ship, this year it was a lucky vessel that re ported a catch of six, although two steamers had sixteen whales each and another had thirteen. The indications sre thst ultimately there will be only stesmers engaged in the important in dustry. *Tbe change will not take place at once, but gradually as vessels are lost their places will be supplied with the bet ter equipped, safer ami more profitable steamers. The number of whales is also doubtless diminishing, as the catch and prices of bone evidences. Although the exhorbi taiii price of bone is largely tbe result of an organization of a bone syndicate, which wss formed in IS9O, whose busi ness it is to regulate the price by govern ing the supply thiown on the market, yet also the decrease in the number of the whales taken is a considerable factor in the prices now ruling. The outfiting of whalers is entirely done in San Francisco, at present, yet it is not improbable that the number of railrosds and trans-pacific steamships centering on Puget Sound may In a short time make some city of Washinton tbe main base of supplies. When it is considered that tbe cost of outfitting a whaler each year is $14,000 to $20,000 accordingly aa sail or steam is used, tbe number of men directly em ployed in the industry is in the neighbor hood of twelve thousaud and the re-ship tr.ent of $2,000,000 worth of bone and oil is yearly made, it is surprising thst the transportation lines of the most north westerly state have not already moved in the direction of securing the home fleet at Seattle, Tacoma, Port Townsend or Anacortes wbere tnaiuly the coaling is now done. In addition to the supplies for the ves sels which are necessary in the matter of food, curing the bone, preserving the oil and furnishing the ship, nearly every whaler carries from Aye to ten thousand dollars in rifles, amuuition, tobacco, whiskies snd provisions which ars ex- changed with tbe inhabitants of Alaska and Russian territory, for ivory bone and furs at an immense profit. About the tenth ol March the whalers stsrt on their northern journey, calculat ing that the ice will bave broken up suf ficentlv by the later part of April to allow them to begin the seasons work in the Arctic seas. Sii.uil.l, however, tbeir cal culations on tbe openness of the sea be er roneous tbey occupy their time cruising for the Right whale. Wbilethere are schoon ers unable to stand the storms gr endure the ice of ths North Sea, which remain all summer fishing for the Right whale, the quality of the bone and the Bite ol the whale is so vastly inferior, that the ships and schooners put in but little time, be fore seeking for the best whale of com merce, the Bowhead. Not infrequently while in the vicinity of the liehring Sea the whaler is called to a rigorous account by the sealing agents of Uncle Sam. Such formidable representstivcß of the United States as the Yorktown, Adams, Mohican and Ranger, man-of-war's-men, and the revenue cutters Bear C'orwin and the Rush are continual}- cruising about the sealing grounds in Beared of poachers. While generally tbe whaler neither car ries contraband nor engages in the killing of seals, yet there are times when they encroach upon the prerogatives of I.ebes A Co., or Uncle Sam and a shot across the offender's bow is necessary to secure an accounting. During tbe past season sev eral neizures were made wbich met the approval of the old line whalers, but they generally condemn the capture snd de tention of the Jane Gray. This ship owned by Mrs. Wm. Kelley.of San Fran cisco, had already been overhauled by the man-of-war Yorktown, complied with sll the conditions imposed by Commander Evans and had been ordered to go on her way. A few days later and while cruis ing about St. Paul islands, Commander Johnson, of the Mohican, refusing to look at the ships manifest or the pspers pre pared by Commander Evans, seized and boarded ber and finally brought her in tow to Onalaska. Here a detention of several days took plsce, until the district attorney arrived, and ordered the ship re leased. The opportunity of joining the whalers was then lost and as a result Commander Johnston is down for court martial and the government will probably pay $50,000 damage to her owner. The estimate of damage is based on tbe sea sons catch for vessels. Pssßing the sealing islands safely the whaler expects nothing ofginterest until south of Point Barrows, where the whsler begins in dead earnest the season's work. In that vicinity the whale may be seen traveling north in the wake of the icebergs or feeding back and forth on the gellatine-like substance which consti tutes his chief diet. In order for the bet- ter observation of the icy seas two or more of the ship's crew, sccompanied by an officer, are sent sloft where, for a period of three or four hours, it is their duty to keep a sharp look-out. To the right snd lett, to the front and rear, every rift of the waters is closely scrutinised until tbe search is rewarded, when the cry of "There she blows!" is heard. "Where away 7" responds the ship's commander. The response is then according to the points on the compass •nd a guess at the distance. Five or six boats, as the sbip csrries, are then put in readiness, sir men arranged alongside each boat. In the event the whale ia moving away from the ship, the boats sre st once lowered, tbe harpooner takes his seat in front, the steerer, of coarse, in the rear, and with osrs or sail, as offers greatest speed, the pursuit beg'ns. Usu ally the whale, unless alarmed, travels at a rate of four or five miles an hour, and in that event he is soon overtaken. Some times, however, he speeds along at ths rate of ten miles and the chase may con tinue until night, finally to be unrewarded. Should the whale be overtaken it is usual to approach him on the rear—by pulling the boat alongside until the harpooner is well up to the back of the whale's head. The harpooner, now standing up, shoves the weapon into the wliale to a distance of from eighteen to twenty inches and as near the spinal column ss possible. At times, however, it is necessary to throw the harpoon, which can be done by a skillful man, at a distance of thirty feet. When the harpoon is received by the whale, if he was quiet before, the scene changes effectually. His maj. sty either laabes the water into a fury, strikes the boat a blow with his tail or flukes, which rosy send the frail cedar structure fifty or sixty feet away, spilling the occupants into the ses, or darts forward at a tre mendous rate, leaving a path of foaming billows. Should he adopt the latter course, ha does not leave the boat's crew copper *+**^^ l^VE^Vl^AI^ CURRANTf^ED. behind, as they make fast tbeir lines and are away at the will of the intended prey, possibly making 15 or 20 miles an hour. At times the whsls darts forward a short distance, then disappears for two or three minutes, possibly for hours, but generally in five or ten minutes he is sighted again ut.lt-ss, by rushing under the ice, he forces his captors to drop their line. As each boat is provided witb but 400 fathoms of line, it is necessary in the event of a "ilive" for the other boats to hurry alongside of the head boat and at tach their line as rapidly as it is played out. The chances sre even that upon receiv ing the first harpoon, which is provided with an explosive bomb, that the whale will give up the ghost in a very few minutes. Should he fail to meet the ex pectations of his pursuers on the first explosion, a second gun or bomb, dubbed ■-. shoulder gun, is utilized. It is loaded with a lance-shaped bomb 15 inches in length aud charged with toenite, and as its force is nearly that of dynamite, it is. if properly aimed, entirely reliable. 1 mcc the whale is csptured be is towed alons-aide the vessel, grappling hooks sre inserted into bis sides, the bead, which contains tbe lnuie, is cut off, and the work of removing the skin or blubber is begun. This operation usually lasts about two hours. The bead and the blubber is taken on deck by means of hoisting gear, the latter is then placed in the tripota, from the former the bone is extracted, and the earoasa ia dropped back into the sea. An average bowhead whale will yield about 1,800 pounds of bone wortb $5 per pound, and 100 barrels of oil worth forty cents per gallon, or, in round figures, a total value of about $9,000. Tbe course of tbe whale (until the middle of September or the Hrst of Octo ber) ia continuously north and in tbe edge of the iceliergs, and as Ihe months of July and August are extremely foggy and in September the strong south winds blow tbe ships and icebergs recklessly about, as may well be presumed, the life of the navigator is not entirely a happy one, nor devoid of danger. During the past season three whalers were entirely destroyed. The John D. West was burned while engaged iv winter cruising off Hon olulu ; the Tamerlaui; met ber fate on the reefs of Harrian islands, and the Helen Mar was crushed in the ice in t*ie Arctic seas. There was no loss of life nn the John D. West or the Tamerlane, but when the Helen Mar was caught between two towering icebergs she crushed like an eggshell, and the rough sen and the dark ness made escape almost impossible. Thirty-four men sank beneath the icy waters or were crushed in the ship's head, only five of the entire crew escaping. The survivors had a terrible experience. With clothes dripping wet thoy clambered on a piece of floating ice. and w bile the ther mometer 8too«l two degrees below zero and the wind lashed the water into foam, for forty hours they frozn and rode and rode aud froze. Finally they were sighted by tbe Area, and on being picked up four were found to tie alive, badly frozen, the other had died hours before, yet he eat bolt upright with his hand gripped in a crevice of his crystal craft. Toward the latter part of September the whaling fleet begins cruising south ward, accompanying the whales and the ice unless the weather gives prouiise of a "freeze-up," in which event the remain ing days are spent about the Bering sea pursuing the Right whale until approach ing Novemlier warns the fleet to go sonth and home. After unloading the season's catch many of the ships rpend the winter in the vi cinity of the Hawaiian islands fishing for sperm whale, but the masters, in the main, spend their winters on the Atlantic coast.
