.A short time ago, I . happened, to be-in Val
paraiso, where I"m'ade'tho aequaintanceof an
.one 'of- .the' oSesrs : of tho -'United
States’ whaling- ship Nantucket, -which had rue
-im-from her fishing grounds in the Paoifib-tq
obtain a supply of water and fresh' provisions;
and one dayia'taikingoTer tho different events;
of the cruite,. which had lasted two years, he
related‘the fsllow'ibg cunoue incident .which
bad befallen them. ’
One morning : EtV'ds;break,- when. lying -be
calmed, they'found themselves in the midst of
a shoal of sperm whales, and all foar_of their
-boats-were'speedily-lowered and chase given.
Two of. them proved successful, and by’ after
noon had returned to'the ship, towing their
.captured prey: but tbs others were not sbfor
-tunato,:. HaviDg bvecmebl 11 nder missed their
■first chance, it was not’untii after' an ordn*-
cue chase of many hours .that their leading
boat at last-succeeded in overtakingend : mak-'
ting fast to a whale; -A 'longhanddesperate
struggle ensued, the eebondr crew~qnickly com- i
-ing to the assistance of the-first ; but line after
line from .hath was expended fby. tbs animal,
which proved to" be o'f the largest size and of,
; inrniehse'stfengtlrand tenacity of life. It tried j
}'£voiy_aieauB, to escape, sometimes ’ sounding,’j
!:thatile- descending perpendicularly to a;vaßtj
L depthinto the recesses of the ocean, until the j
i enormous- pressure of the superincumbent wa-'
! ter was more than even its, huge strength could
, bear, and it was -forced to return to the surface ’
! along which it would then rush with such ve
. iootty,- dragging-, bojh boats -after it, that the -
' .water, divided by the sharp bows, : curled high
i.iirtwo soird-walla on'eitbsr hand. At length, '
however, its speed began to' slacken', and the 1
wbalestaen,'anxious to secure their prize before 1
darkness' set' in, advanced to finish him, and '
; four more' lances were r.apidly- hurled irPto
j hotly of the ihohstor, which, apparently,eshaSS-"
; ted by ifs-precedihg efforts; lay passivcon the j
water. -No sooner, however had the.last.steel"
‘.penetrated, than, as if the.stimulus had roused
anew-allits Vital energies,’it hurled’-itself half
. but.of water,land swinging its ponderous flukes
j lughopr.in the air, struck two tremendous blows-
In succession, nits of - tviiirh fell, upon' tha fore-
most boat, cutting it "completely-ill-two, and
i.'scattering Us ocoiipant«'(onB of whbm'had bis
i tlriglvhrohen) in all directions',- ' After doing
tliis mischief it again sounded-; and, hastily
pishing up their companions, and placing "the:
woandedman in the -bottom of the boat, the
rest, undaunted, impatiently -waited the coming
upof the animal to-breaths. But they waited
in vain ; thoir prdy had escaped-them, : In his
‘last deaperave effort to free himself, ho had, (so
I tias-told at least) dived 00 deep that, with all
Bis strength exhausted, ha was'unable to rise,
.and dying bcio w r sank etilli deeper, ’ Tho die
■appointed whalers "sat in silence, 'watching-the
'lines disappearing fathom' after fathom,".-until
: their lasl -jard was gone,, when the .cowman,
who held bis'tomahawk ready to strike, was
compelled‘to -let it fall and sever tha rope, last
the weight of the descending-badyshould drag
tho beakdown with it into the abyss.’

' As the hoarse sound died away,'a startling ro*.
piy was given, A burst of strange harsh
laughter came -'ringing across the waters,
gradually changing into a wild cry, which rose
upon the night air, sounding, inexpressibly sad
and mournful. At that moment, as the. fi?a
men, thrilled and awe struck, listened, the .fires!
i which had beenlit. beneath' the coppers, and
’which bad been fed with pieces - of" refuse

} some on board to he the pound,’ indistinctly
j heard, of human voices. This continued un
| til the vessel had passed on her way some dis
tance, when the, noises became-more and more
faint and finally died sway:

and tsing,determined to ascertain their cause,

them; and, steering in that direction, the shin
waa hove to and a boat lowered s hut jhe.mea

in, and .wished to wait for- daylight.
""Why, what are-you afraid of men! Bo
yon think' there are evil spirits cruising ?”
.' He paused’.in surprise, and all bands utter*
ed.acry, A strange phenomenon was present
ed to their view; a pale blue phosphorescent
light suddenly . gleaned out of the. darkness,
and showed them a wreck, dismantled and
drifting.. Through'tbe open porta and brsaoh
es.in the bulwarks, broken by tbe waves, the
unearthly-looking radiance shone, -gleaming
and flickering on the stump of the. mainmast,
the only fragment of a spar left standing. Its
bows were towards them, end from thsir.own
’mastheads they .could at times, when it pitoh
ed and rolled, see down pa its deck - Close ,to
tbe after hatchway burned a blue, tremulous
flame, sometimes shooting ap vividly, at- oth
ers sinking-till nearly-es Anguished, by the
light of wbioh-all.on deck '.was rendered ’ vis
ible All hands looked eagerly for ..signs of o
crew; bnt nothingin tbs Shape of a -man was
to be seen. The deck was cleared, the long boat
and spars gone.;-there, was/nothing-to. conceal
them from view,’ had any man. bean on-board.
But although nothing in. the gniss of mortal
'man was visible, other objects prasanfad them
selves to the view of the awe-stricken sail ore.
Gaunt and weird-lodking shapes of hideous
.animals were plainly seen flitting to and fro
in.the ghastly light.of that unnatural illcmin
ation of a lonely wreck at sea.'
, - “ I can tell-you, sir" said my jnformant, at
this portion of his narrative, *' that'l for one
•wae scared, and no mistake about it. I was
brought up in a part of New England -where
,a belief in the supernatural prevails. I bad
heard that evil spirits-appeared at times in the
form of beasts, and haunted the places where
they had.when on'earth committed their crimes;
and we were off that ooast where, for two Hun
dred years, the desperadoes'of every clime—
pirates and buccaneers—had puroued, whan,
in life their horrid calling. As the blue light
flickered, and the yells once more broke out,
these tales of my early have made
me fancy, myself—in the presence of : some
phantom ship with its ghastly crew.”
“ But .daylight", soon came, the blue light
went out, and we jthen saw that the wreck was
a real one and that a boat was towing astern.
When we ,pulled to it and hailed; voices from
the cabip replied, and we rowed round and
saw u man with his head and ■ shoulders pro
jecting out of the window. '
-”7 say strangers,” he shouted,, “don’t none
.of you'offer to come aboard. Some'of the
critters get loose’last night,, and they’re dan-’
gerous.” ‘"And dangerous ondugb they ap
peared to be. for at that moment came to the
taffraii and looked down on us, several hyenas,
whose eyes, sparkling with famine, glared
most ferociously,, and no wonder; they had
had no food for nearly a week.
“ -The brig waa’in fact a complete menagerie,
which a -speculative American was taking to
California,, visiting all tbs- South American
ports on bis way. He. had bean blown out Jo
sea by a hurricane, which at last carried away
-his masts, and he bad been drifting afcont ever
since, till bis beasts were nearly starved.—
He had- a miserable craw, half of them being
his showman, and he .himself-was his own
captain, trusting to his mate to navigate for
him.’- They had prepared the long-boat for
leaving, should no vessel fall in with them,
but had made repeated abortive attempts to
rig jury masts as well. 'ln their last attempt
the spar had.fallen, and the heel of it smashed
the cage'containing the hyenas, and all hands
had to make a speedy retreat to the after-cabin,
and- keep below till daylight should enable
them to-sHoct or : otherwise secure them. Oar
fire, by exciting the beasts, attracted their no
tice, and at first,they.thought it-was a burning
ship. The'light seen by the boat early in the
night, was made by burning soma spirits of
wine out of the cabin windows, and they now
prepared to repeat tho signal, hoping to attract
out attention; bat this time instead of hang
ing it oat of tho cabia-window, they manegod
to open the hatchway and pnoa it out on the
deck, where the beasts were prowling about
restless with tho hunger which tormented them,
“Tho crew stayed three days with us; we
rigged them ap jury masts and, what was of
greater consequence, cuppllsd the captain with
plenty of beef from the weals for his animals,
ana thus caved him.from ruin; for the poor
man had invested all hs had in the menagerie.

and I suppose is in California long before this,"
