"The Whaling Trade ( ATR Of:Modern Days Whalers in the Antarctic are Anticipating a Record Sea- son--Modern Methods . Have Come to Their Aid in Reviving This Age-old Industry By Captain David Bernard Never in the history of deep-sea 3 ing in a dream; you float free and appears to be the most profitable, ¥ fishing has there assembled such a an from the profific min the world floats under you; your velo- great fleet as that engaged in the Ant- Paid Hut it is hard: work: for the city is without effort and A without arctic to-day. Just north of the ice- 3 » barrier and covering thousands of miles, over 11,000 men are employed on board 325 ships harvesting the golden oil rom the mammals of the sea. Few of the millions who eat margar- ine realize that the best qualities come from the creamy-white oil of the sperm whale. The whole produc- tion of the South Seas was sold last year at $10 per ton, and it realized $6,000,000. This year the whaling fleet has been increased by. a hundred ships. During the first week of the present season one company alone produced oil to the value of $210,000. Last year the same company, the largest British unit employed in the whaling indus- try, produced 202,650 barrels of whale ofl, valued at $4,180,045, during nine- teen weeks' whaling. Seaplanes Join In Prominent among the sixty-eight factory ships is the newly converted Athenic, formerly owned by the White Star Line; this vessel, which has been renamed Pelagos, has been so al- 32,000-tonner, is now being built at Belfast. She and a fleet of nine new vessels will be employed to fish in the vicinity of Bouvet Island. It has been found necessary to em-! ploy oil transports with the new fleets. Nearly a dozen great tankers have basen distributed among the ships. . This will allow them to mar- ket their oil before the close of the' whaling season, and refill their tanks | before returning home. | Whaling by present-day methods is! perhaps the hardest and most adven- turous employment the sea offers; it youths and men who are being train- ed. Frequently during the summer months of the South whaling crews work sixteen hours per day. When Whales Hit Back And there's danger to be faced. A harpoon fired from bow-guns on roll ing ships may miss the target, or, al- ternatively, may inflict flesh wounds which cause the big fish to become furious and even attempt to ram th "chaser." . The thresher whale is the worst customer to deal with; he will attack on the slightest provocation. - There is one authentic account of this sea- tiger ramming the whaler Thetis and forcing the crew to abandon her. By a strange coincidence two ships of the same name have been in colli- sion with whales. On her maiden voy- age from Liverpool, in July, 1875, a whale rushed at the Cunard liner Scythia with full force. The ship ap- peared to have hit a submerged rock. The impact was so terrific that she had to return to port and go into dry- dock. tario, north of Lake Superior, where school-houses do not exist. of trappers and section hands. "Readin', 'ritin' and "rithmetic" are taught on travelling school trains in reglons of northern On- Pupils for most part, are children _# Skating by Moonlight 1 like pond skating best by moon- light, The hollow among the hills will always have a bit of mist hang- ing about it, let the sky be as clear | as it may. The moonlight which seems so lucid and brilliant as you look up, is all pearl and smoke round thie pond and the hills, The shore which is like iron under your heel as you come down to the ice, is as vague when yon look at it from the center of the pond as the memory of a dream. The motion is like fly- accomplishment, for . speed as you may you leave nothing behind and approach nothing. You look up- ward. The mist is overhea. now; you see the moon in a "hollow halo" at the bottom of "an icy crystal cup," and you yourself are in just such an- other. The mist, palely opalescent, drives past her out of nothing into nowhere, . . . If by moonlight the mist plays upon the consciousness like faint, bewitching music, in sun- light it is scarcely less. More often than not when I go for my skating to our cosy little river, a winding mile from the milldam to the rail- road trestle, the hills are clothed in silver mist, which frames them in vignettes with blurred edges like Japanese paintings on white silk. Such color as they have shows soft and dull through the frost-ppwder with which the air is fi'"'~d. .. The silver powder has fallen on the ice, just enough to cover earlier tracings and leave me a fresh plate to etch with grapevines and arabesques.
