The watchers are on deck ‘idling around, smoking and yawning, when suddenly from the crows nest is heard the “There she blows!” The officer on deck asks“ Where away ?”and the ‘location to port or starboard is told. The Captain orders the boats lowered, and everything is a scene of bustle nd excitement, men rushing on deck, ual boats, all talking at once and in so many different tongues that one would have:thought a crowd of lunatics had been turned loose. Finally the men get into the boats and the order is given to “hoist and swing” and-at the ‘word “lower away” the falls are .slackened with alacrity. The boats contain, besides paddies, oars and sails, the harpoon, bomb guns, lances,spades, wo tubs of whale line and a box of bombs, Besides this gear a keg’ of fresh meat, hard bread and ‘salt. meat is stowed in u small wooden cylinder, while a lantern and torches are also carried. Oanvas and tacke for repairing a bucket for bailing, knives and hatchets form the equipment for a whale boat. Built of thin cedar boards upon a stout white oak frame these ‘boats are models of beauty and travel through the water at a great rate of speed when sail is set. The movements of the boats are guided toward the whale by the Captain,who in the crowsnest indicates by means of flags the dico al dressing as they run for their individ-. and wintry gales. — ee Manifest Destiny. “Charley!’’ exclaimed young Mre Torkins. ** What is it?’ inquired her husband, as the newspaper slid from his startled grasp. **T have thought it all out.”’ **T don’t know what you aro talking ahout.’’ ‘*The baby’s fature.
