He only made hia enemies around more aud mure active aud rapacious, and their attacks became almost ioccssant. His strength, hies good spirits—whioh had A NIGHT ON A WHALE. The King Harold, whaler, was cruising off the King's Mill group for sperm fiah, with the intention of paasiug the wiuter mouths there, and in tbe spring goinj; further north to catch the real whale. Thua fur they had not cap¬ tured a fish. At laat, however, their efforta ¦were destined to be crowned witb sucaess, and one of the crew met witb tbe adventure wbich forms the subject of this paper. He was an Irishman named Pat; aa active, strong hand, wbo bad been promoted to per¬ form the important duty of boat's header, or harpooncr. At the first aummons, four boots left the side of tbe King Harold, exerting tbeir utmost streugih to outstrip each other.— An exu-aordinary zeal prevails on sucb occa¬ sions by tbose who man the differeut boats, aa it becomes a poiut of honor which shall throw the first successful harpoon ; nnd on this day, all the others had shot ahead of tbut comman¬ ded by Pat, wheu, just to the ri};ht of bim, bat at a considerable distance, another whale waa seeu to blow, and be at ouce turned towards it, and pulled away from hia compan ^ ions. The other boats hail too much work on their hands to pay utitntion tu him; and as lhe ffhale.i whicb they were in pursuit of juat then rose again within thirty feet, ooe of the har- pooners immediately drove his iron bome. The two others who were also "fast" aoon after; but as the irou of the second boat came out again, and the whale sank to a great depth, it was compelled to follow tbe third, and help in cap¬ turing its fish. This ihey eventually guccoed- cd in doiug, though the .struck leviathian set off at full Bpced, in a nnrtlierly directiou, tear¬ ing the boats after tbera, and dashing the wa¬ ter furiously over their buws. However, after much trouble they tiually secured two, and then lay ou tbeir oars to await the ship, as It Would have been impossible fur tbem lo row with aucb a tremendous mass in tow. While waiting for their vessel, which was at ¦< a great distance, they bad leisure to luok round for the fourth—that of our friend Pat—but they searched iu vain for itsgliateningsiil. It had disappeared, aud their consolation was in tbe hope that it had been kept in sight from the mast-head. The King Harold, however, was by no means a quick sailer, and the after- noon waa spent ere she reached them, and se¬ cured the two fish alongside. A man was im¬ mediately sent aloft to aee where the fourth boat was, but nothiog could be seen of it, and at length the skipper and several of the crew fol¬ lowed to tfae samo position for a aimilar pur¬ pose ; but all in vniu. Onco or twice they could sec a dark spot ou tho water to the south¬ west, but on looking closer it diaappeared.— The watch was kept up until dark, but not the slightest trace of it could be discovered. Ab the captain could not cruise about on ac- i count of the fish alongaide, even had he known I in what direction to steer, he determined to cut them up during the night as far as posaible, i and in the morning, leaving tbe remainder with fla ag hoisted on them, seek the missing' j -4 boat and its crew. He still had a chance ofi finding tbem to tho leeward, and the ship was: drifting in that direction with the trade wind and equatorial current. It was most probable^ that a wounded spermacetti destroyed the boat,; and that the men had not been able to keep so long abovo water. The sea waa certainly calm enough, but the fearful shark speedily scents the blood of a struck fish; and, as at tho pre¬ sent moment five or six of these greedy brutes * were swimming round their vessel, and making unavailing efforts to tear off a piece of the tough and elastic hide, it would be only too certain that they would find tho epofwhercthe other boat had sunk, and woe to the unfortu? nate men who wero exposed to their rapaciouaj inexorable jaws! But there waa still a posibility that tbe boat had drifted bo far to leeward that it could not pnU np again, and two lanterns were hoisted to the fore and maintops, in order that they might not, in any event, pull past in the gloom; * After dark, nt midnight, and before the dog¬ watch, the skipper had the gun fired ; but the night passed away without anything being seen or heard bf the lost ones. The cutting up of tbe whale wont on actively in the meanwhile and lhe boiling out was immediately commen* cad. Large torches, fed by strips of blubber" hung overboard in a iirc-haaket, a net made o^ iron hoops, and lit up the dark ocean, giving the dancing waves a singularly transparent hue, At daybreak, two harpooners were sent to the tops, armed with good glasses, to again look for the missing boat. In vain had they searched the whole horizon, without being able to discover anything, when tbe eye of one was attracted by a dark spot, which he closely ex. amined. The distance was too great to allow anything to be clearly distinguished ; but, fm¬ all that, the skipper was immediately informed of the circumstance, and speedily joined them. It was certain something was floating on the 1 water there, whatever it might be, but it lay to ¦windward. They muat have drifted past it iii; the night, and the second harpooner was or- I dered off with a boat to discover ,what it was. Even if it were not the missing boat—and it did not at all look like it—it might possibly be a dead whale, and would not only repay the trouble of looking after it, but would surely pat them on the trail of the missing men, as the fiah, if struck, would at auy rato have one of the ship's harpoons of irons in it. For nearly half an hour they pulled, follow¬ ing the signals on board, without distinguish¬ ing anything in their track, iintil the harpoon¬ er who stood in the bows suddenly 'fancied he noticed a dark object right in ixont,^and on^ . just above the water. Before long he shontetj, half turning to his men, and painting in front: *PaU away my lads,.pull aw;ay.^ Byhb^- ens! it's a man on a raft or boat, or something "* of that sort Pull away, fori fanoy-.Tre a« only just in time.' Then uttering a loud 'Hal- *^*-'--K^5' inw^to ^^^^ ft responsive echo;, bit however, prince' d him, and the boat bounded heard, Strgpy continnt^ extraordinary objijck I who was lazily breasting the w.aves at aome dia- tance from the rest of the ahoiil. Tbey rowed lustily on at about five hundred yaidain the rear of the sperm, nml gained upon it rapidly, for till' fish was, as yet, iguorant of tbe danger thnt threatened it. At the same time, the sperm swerved more and more from its former course, nnd went westward with the wiu"Iand current. Patrick now set his sail, iu order to get nearer to' tbe fiah without any unnecessary noise.— Tho wbale, however, appeared to have scented the u]>proach of danger, for it started off at the top of its speed, so that tho boat, eveu with the *"avorablc brv^eze. eould gnio but iitile u[i«u it. Suddenly, just as tht;y had got, with preat la¬ bor, withiu casting distauue, lhe sperm dived atid the bn.at shot over the spot where tbe waves were still bubbling over the sinking mon Stcr. -Sail in!' the harpooner quickly shout¬ ed; but the boat glided on a Httle diatance from the impetus it had received, and the bont- stccrer stood with uplifted lance, anxioualy awaitiug tbe signal to caat. While the sail flapped idly in the wiud, nnd tbe harpooner held the sheeta firmly in his hand, that tbey might not lose a moment in pursuit, the rowers looked down iuto tbe clear water beneatb, with tho hope of, perhaps, seeing tbe fish, and so diacovcring the direction it w.is about to swim 'There's something swimming,' one of the hands suddenly said, in a half-suppressed and anxious tone; 'it's coming up straight from below.* •Hush!' the harpooner said—'gently, gently, or you'll "Startle him^wbere !' 'There ho corner—there he comes!' tbree or f.mr shouted siiiiultancoualy, and grasjiCd in¬ stinctively at their oars. •Back—back for your lives!" the barpnoner cried at this moment, who was well aware of the peril to which they would bo espo.^ed, if the colossus, in rising, merely grazed their boat. Almost at the same instant, tho oars fell into the water, aud the boat had acarcidy shot ita own length back, when the gigantic round¬ ed head ofa powerful aperra fish, with its wide narrow jaws half open, rose to the surface, and then bounded forwards, aa if to escape tbe alrango object, whose presence he waa now awaro of. Eu the bow of the bi>at, and close about tho mountain of blubber, which actually rose under bis very feet, stood the boatstcerer witb uplifted lance; but his arm trembled, and still within reach of the fearful foe, who could crush tbem at a blow, be did not daro to bur^ the harpoon into tbe flying monster. "Give it hiiu'i" Patrick, he however ahouted, perfectly careless of danger, and only think- '| at the momeut of the chaae "Hang the fellow, he'll let the fish slip throngh hia bands;" and seizing his own liince, he appeared to ho anx¬ iously awaiting the moment when be could hurl the sharp steel into the back ofhis prey. The boat-steerer still hesitated, but only for a mo¬ ment; for if he suffered an opportunity tn alip, it was a question whether thcy wouhl ev¬ er again come up wilh the startled whale. The sail bad again caugbt tbe wind, and tbe har¬ pooner held the tiller firmly with bis kneea to bring tbe boat's head round, and rush after the flyiug foe. At this instant tbe harpoon whiz¬ zed through the air deep into the monster's bnck, and wns imbedded in tlic tough blubber. In a second the sail wua again taken io, and the bont-steerer, springing back to the tiller, made room for the harpooner to throw hia lance nnd give the leviathan ofthe deep his death-blow. ~ Patrick stood in thf bows, witb his lance raised for a caat, and tbe crew tug¬ ged away at the harpoon rope, to bring their little barque close up to the prisoned fish. Pat-, rick bent back,and while the flukes ofthe gigan¬ tic brute lashed the waves close to them, and it rose once again to escape tho danger which it saw impending, the death-bearing steel sank deep into the soft flank ofthe foe. In a second the harpooner withdrew it to repeat the blow, and the whale, in ita fury, suddenly turned at bay, causing the sea to hiss and foam by its rage. "Thick blood!" the crew shouted at thia moment; but the voice of the harpooner waa heard, «'Bnck for your lives! And while the boatswain threw his whole weight on the tiller, and leaned overboard to bring ber head round, and ere the crew could ship tbeir oars, the fu¬ rious brute came up with open jaws, and seiz¬ ing and crushing the tbia planks, tore tbera asunder as if made of paper. Patrick saw tbe danger, knew what impended over them, and ¦with an unshakinghand he again huried_the lance at the enemy, and pierced it's eye, but he could not save the boat. The maddened brute probably did not feel the new wound jn its death-struggles. For, blowing out the thick black blood, and only thirsting for revenge, it tore the boat in pieces, and the foaming, blood¬ stained waves soon closed over a mass of frag¬ ments and swimmers, who only tried to clutch at a plank in the instinctive feeling of self- preservation. Patrick had, quite unconscious¬ ly, seized the line to which the harpoon was fastened, winding it round his arm ; tbe whale dragged him along through the discolored wa ters, and he would inevitably have been drown¬ ed had tho fish lived a few miuutes longer.— But the first cast had gono home, and rising again to the surface, tho whale swam once or twice in a circle, lashed the trembling waves wsth its gigantic flukes, and then floated alow¬ ly and dead upon the blood stained aea. Pat¬ rick, who had risen with it, and had beon ao unwillingly taken into tow by the whale, swam quietly up to the floating monster, and seizing the harpoon still sticking in it, raised himaelf np at the very moment when a piercing shriek ' sounded close behind him. In horror he turn¬ ed round; the cry for help waa truly agonit-i ing; bnt he felt aa if stabbed to the heart when he saw, at no great distance from him, the dark dorsal fins of two sharks, which, shot greedily back and forwards, ¦while the gurg¬ ling in the water just behind him, and the lashing of the waves, betrayed the spot where one of his comrades was fighting the fight of death in the merciless clutches of a third brute. Here and there a few happy men belonging to the boat were still floating on oara and planks, but only three left of the merry fellowfl> who, but a few ¦ minutes before, had boldly looked danger ia the faoe, and now the iyienas of tho deep were revelling beneath them. . bf what avail was the poweriess blows of tbe arms aimed at them, or the yell of despair? It was mnsic in the ears ofthe cold, fearful monsters.

The weather, fortuiuiteJy, wua quiet and cahn, and the rippHug wave^, in whicb the whale rode and sank, washed over Patrick, but none of the sharks had come near enough to scent him, or, if it had done so, had not noticed hiui; aud he hoped, perhaps, that he would be able to hold hia owu unaaaailed until the ship could comeup to save him, or, at least send ita boats. But where was the ship 7 Father of mercy! there waH uo prodpect of release for a loug, long while. For eveu at the dist.ince he theu was, it could not escape the the sailor's practiced eye that it was keeping away from him. The otlier boats, therefore, had caught their fish, aud with their booty aloogaide, would not be able to look after him At the same time, tbe suu burnt, hot and scor¬ ching, on his forehead, aud bis tougue clove to tbe roof of bis mouth. Water! The limpid waves bathed hia feet, and ht snouM perish with thri.st? He knelt down and washed his forehead and templetf.aud eyes and lipa, in order lo have a slight rcfreahmcnt, and then he bound his hankerchicf round his head—for he had lost hia hat at the deatructtou of tbo boat—in order to pr:'tect it in some measure from the scorch¬ ing beama. Through thia movement, however the atten¬ tion of one uf the aliarks must have been attrac- te:l 10 him, or else, though satisfied and over satiated, it could not resist ita desire for more prey; fur just as he raised his hands he noti¬ ced that one of tbe largest dark fins, which projected abovo the water, was swiming in a^ direct line towards him. IIo had, in fact, scarcely time to raise himself, and prepare hia weapon of defence, when a tremendous fellow of aomethirteen feet in length ahot np tubim,. I aud tried to turn over the bnck ofthe whale aad pluck off what waa still upon it. But with the danger, all the sailor's daring courage re¬ turned to him, aud swinging tbe heavy shaft in his band, and holding the rope firmly with the, otber, be struck the head of tho monster such a powerful and well directed blow that the shark, half-stunned, slipped of tbe whale and sank ere it could prepare for a renewal of hos¬ tilities, or perhaps make up his miud to such a serious step. But other sharks had been attracted by the noise and splashing, oud al¬ though they did not dare an immediate uttack ou the bold mortal who veutured to withatand them in their native element, still they contin- uiilly swam iu narrower circles round the spot where he waa sitting, and onoe or twice thcy came so near that Put gave them one or two hearty blowa across the jaws, to teach them to be respectful to him and keep their proper dis¬ tance. But the shark is a greedy, obstinate brute, aud even when wounded, always returns to any booty ithas once scented, aa long as it retaiuB the necessary strength. So it was in this instance.. Again aud again the heavy stick was required to teach tbem that there waa nothiog here for them to fetch—at least, so long as the young Irishman felt himself strong enough to straggle against hunger and thirst, the scorching sunbeams, and the constaut, fearful excitement of his nervoua system in the tremendous danger that ever surrounded htm. And the ship—no hope of salvation thence I Deeper and deeper sank tbe aun, aud tho ship . lay to the windward, witb its glistening aaila. But tbo beast that swam around him became more ravenons, and tried iu vain to drive their teeth through tbe tough skin of the sperm whale ; and when the stars were lighted, and gradually illuminated the sky, as far as the 1 bright strip which lay ou the Weatem horizon ' he watched the glistening beams shouting athwart the limpid wavea, as the sharks swam restlesaly backwards and forwards, and the peril that beset him grew worse with tbe night He clearly aaw the lights ofhis vcaael hung out for him—he even noticed, when it grew quite dark, the bright glimmer of the lubber ampa, and even tho pale lightwhicb came from the stoves of the oil-fryers, and were reflected ia the idly flapping sails. But what availed that to him? How could be hope to be seen from the ship in the darkness, and to be saved from his fearful position ?—and would merely human strength be able to endnre it till the next morning? He was no longer strong enough to keep on his feet, and sought to find somo little relief in kneeling down for a mo¬ ment, or so long ¦ as tbe approaching sharks permitted, upon his extraordinary float, and attempting to stretch himself at fuU length, ¦ even though it might bo in the water. Fruit, less hope ! his tormentors left him no rest, and I the danger of being surprised, seized, and pul¬ led down to a certain death, waa too imminent to allow him to await their, attack. The most greedy of the brutes, a young fiah scarcely more than eight feet in length, once went so far as to seize tbo harpoon, and held sufficiently long to be left half dry upon the sperm by the reti¬ ring wave ; but the oak stick struck it such a fearful blow aorpsa its treacherons, crafty-look¬ ing eyos, that the shark glided of the slippery whale, turned up its white stomach, and sank. Bat others took the brute's place, and only the glistening streak in the dark water rcTcaled their approach, and warned tho unhappy man to prepare himself for the renewed attack. Hour after hour thns passed in this fearful contest for life; but fresh hope waa aroused in him when the ship drew nearer and nearer to him, and the signal gans clearly and distinctly reached his ear.

A NIGHT ON A WHALE.
The King Harold, whaler, was cruising off the King's Mill group for sperm fiah, with the intention of paasiug the wiuter mouths there, and in tbe spring goinj; further north to catch the real whale. Thua fur they had not cap¬ tured a fish. At laat, however, their efforta ¦were destined to be crowned witb sucaess, and one of the crew met witb tbe adventure wbich forms the subject of this paper.
He was an Irishman named Pat; aa active, strong hand, wbo bad been promoted to per¬ form the important duty of boat's header, or harpooncr. At the first aummons, four boots left the side of tbe King Harold, exerting tbeir utmost streugih to outstrip each other.— An exu-aordinary zeal prevails on sucb occa¬ sions by tbose who man the differeut boats, aa it becomes a poiut of honor which shall throw the first successful harpoon ; nnd on this day, all the others had shot ahead of tbut comman¬ ded by Pat, wheu, just to the ri};ht of bim, bat at a considerable distance, another whale waa seeu to blow, and be at ouce turned towards it, and pulled away from hia compan ^ ions.
The other boats hail too much work on their hands to pay utitntion tu him; and as lhe ffhale.i whicb they were in pursuit of juat then rose again within thirty feet, ooe of the har- pooners immediately drove his iron bome. The two others who were also "fast" aoon after; but as the irou of the second boat came out again, and the whale sank to a great depth, it was compelled to follow tbe third, and help in cap¬ turing its fish. This ihey eventually guccoed- cd in doiug, though the .struck leviathian set off at full Bpced, in a nnrtlierly directiou, tear¬ ing the boats after tbera, and dashing the wa¬ ter furiously over their buws. However, after much trouble they tiually secured two, and then lay ou tbeir oars to await the ship, as It Would have been impossible fur tbem lo row with aucb a tremendous mass in tow.
While waiting for their vessel, which was at ¦< a great distance, they bad leisure to luok round for the fourth—that of our friend Pat—but they searched iu vain for itsgliateningsiil. It had disappeared, aud their consolation was in tbe hope that it had been kept in sight from the mast-head. The King Harold, however, was by no means a quick sailer, and the after- noon waa spent ere she reached them, and se¬ cured the two fish alongside. A man was im¬ mediately sent aloft to aee where the fourth boat was, but nothiog could be seen of it, and at length the skipper and several of the crew fol¬ lowed to tfae samo position for a aimilar pur¬ pose ; but all in vniu. Onco or twice they could sec a dark spot ou tho water to the south¬ west, but on looking closer it diaappeared.— The watch was kept up until dark, but not the slightest trace of it could be discovered.
Ab the captain could not cruise about on ac- i count of the fish alongaide, even had he known I in what direction to steer, he determined to cut them up during the night as far as posaible, i and in the morning, leaving tbe remainder with fla ag hoisted on them, seek the missing' j -4 boat and its crew. He still had a chance ofi finding tbem to tho leeward, and the ship was: drifting in that direction with the trade wind and equatorial current. It was most probable^ that a wounded spermacetti destroyed the boat,; and that the men had not been able to keep so long abovo water. The sea waa certainly calm enough, but the fearful shark speedily scents the blood of a struck fish; and, as at tho pre¬ sent moment five or six of these greedy brutes
* were swimming round their vessel, and making unavailing efforts to tear off a piece of the tough and elastic hide, it would be only too certain that they would find tho epofwhercthe other boat had sunk, and woe to the unfortu? nate men who wero exposed to their rapaciouaj inexorable jaws!
But there waa still a posibility that tbe boat had drifted bo far to leeward that it could not pnU np again, and two lanterns were hoisted to the fore and maintops, in order that they might not, in any event, pull past in the gloom;
* After dark, nt midnight, and before the dog¬ watch, the skipper had the gun fired ; but the night passed away without anything being seen or heard bf the lost ones. The cutting up of tbe whale wont on actively in the meanwhile and lhe boiling out was immediately commen* cad. Large torches, fed by strips of blubber" hung overboard in a iirc-haaket, a net made o^ iron hoops, and lit up the dark ocean, giving the dancing waves a singularly transparent hue,
At daybreak, two harpooners were sent to the tops, armed with good glasses, to again look for the missing boat. In vain had they searched the whole horizon, without being able to discover anything, when tbe eye of one was attracted by a dark spot, which he closely ex. amined. The distance was too great to allow anything to be clearly distinguished ; but, fm¬ all that, the skipper was immediately informed of the circumstance, and speedily joined them. It was certain something was floating on the 1 water there, whatever it might be, but it lay to ¦windward. They muat have drifted past it iii; the night, and the second harpooner was or- I dered off with a boat to discover ,what it was. Even if it were not the missing boat—and it did not at all look like it—it might possibly be a dead whale, and would not only repay the trouble of looking after it, but would surely pat them on the trail of the missing men, as the fiah, if struck, would at auy rato have one of the ship's harpoons of irons in it.
For nearly half an hour they pulled, follow¬ ing the signals on board, without distinguish¬ ing anything in their track, iintil the harpoon¬ er who stood in the bows suddenly 'fancied he noticed a dark object right in ixont,^and on^ . just above the water. Before long he shontetj, half turning to his men, and painting in front: *PaU away my lads,.pull aw;ay.^ Byhb^- ens! it's a man on a raft or boat, or something "* of that sort Pull away, fori fanoy-.Tre a« only just in time.' Then uttering a loud 'Hal- *^*-'--K^5' inw^to ^^^^ ft responsive echo;, bit however, prince' d him, and the boat bounded heard, Strgpy continnt^ extraordinary objijck I
who was lazily breasting the w.aves at aome dia- tance from the rest of the ahoiil. Tbey rowed lustily on at about five hundred yaidain the rear of the sperm, nml gained upon it rapidly, for till' fish was, as yet, iguorant of tbe danger thnt threatened it. At the same time, the sperm swerved more and more from its former course, nnd went westward with the wiu"Iand current. Patrick now set his sail, iu order to get nearer to' tbe fiah without any unnecessary noise.— Tho wbale, however, appeared to have scented the u]>proach of danger, for it started off at the top of its speed, so that tho boat, eveu with the *"avorablc brv^eze. eould gnio but iitile u[i«u it. Suddenly, just as tht;y had got, with preat la¬ bor, withiu casting distauue, lhe sperm dived atid the bn.at shot over the spot where tbe waves were still bubbling over the sinking mon Stcr. -Sail in!' the harpooner quickly shout¬ ed; but the boat glided on a Httle diatance from the impetus it had received, and the bont- stccrer stood with uplifted lance, anxioualy awaitiug tbe signal to caat. While the sail flapped idly in the wiud, nnd tbe harpooner held the sheeta firmly in his hand, that tbey might not lose a moment in pursuit, the rowers looked down iuto tbe clear water beneatb, with tho hope of, perhaps, seeing tbe fish, and so diacovcring the direction it w.is about to swim
'There's something swimming,' one of the hands suddenly said, in a half-suppressed and anxious tone; 'it's coming up straight from below.*
•Hush!' the harpooner said—'gently, gently, or you'll "Startle him^wbere !'
'There ho corner—there he comes!' tbree or f.mr shouted siiiiultancoualy, and grasjiCd in¬ stinctively at their oars.
•Back—back for your lives!" the barpnoner cried at this moment, who was well aware of the peril to which they would bo espo.^ed, if the colossus, in rising, merely grazed their boat. Almost at the same instant, tho oars fell into the water, aud the boat had acarcidy shot ita own length back, when the gigantic round¬ ed head ofa powerful aperra fish, with its wide narrow jaws half open, rose to the surface, and then bounded forwards, aa if to escape tbe alrango object, whose presence he waa now awaro of. Eu the bow of the bi>at, and close about tho mountain of blubber, which actually rose under bis very feet, stood the boatstcerer witb uplifted lance; but his arm trembled, and still within reach of the fearful foe, who could crush tbem at a blow, be did not daro to bur^ the harpoon into tbe flying monster.
"Give it hiiu'i" Patrick, he however ahouted, perfectly careless of danger, and only think- '| at the momeut of the chaae "Hang the fellow, he'll let the fish slip throngh hia bands;" and seizing his own liince, he appeared to ho anx¬ iously awaiting the moment when be could hurl the sharp steel into the back ofhis prey. The boat-steerer still hesitated, but only for a mo¬ ment; for if he suffered an opportunity tn alip, it was a question whether thcy wouhl ev¬ er again come up wilh the startled whale. The sail bad again caugbt tbe wind, and tbe har¬ pooner held the tiller firmly with bis kneea to bring tbe boat's head round, and rush after the flyiug foe. At this instant tbe harpoon whiz¬ zed through the air deep into the monster's bnck, and wns imbedded in tlic tough blubber. In a second the sail wua again taken io, and the bont-steerer, springing back to the tiller, made room for the harpooner to throw hia lance nnd give the leviathan ofthe deep his death-blow. ~ Patrick stood in thf bows, witb his lance raised for a caat, and tbe crew tug¬ ged away at the harpoon rope, to bring their little barque close up to the prisoned fish. Pat-, rick bent back,and while the flukes ofthe gigan¬ tic brute lashed the waves close to them, and it rose once again to escape tho danger which it saw impending, the death-bearing steel sank deep into the soft flank ofthe foe. In a second the harpooner withdrew it to repeat the blow, and the whale, in ita fury, suddenly turned at bay, causing the sea to hiss and foam by its rage.
"Thick blood!" the crew shouted at thia moment; but the voice of the harpooner waa heard, «'Bnck for your lives! And while the boatswain threw his whole weight on the tiller, and leaned overboard to bring ber head round, and ere the crew could ship tbeir oars, the fu¬ rious brute came up with open jaws, and seiz¬ ing and crushing the tbia planks, tore tbera asunder as if made of paper. Patrick saw tbe danger, knew what impended over them, and ¦with an unshakinghand he again huried_the lance at the enemy, and pierced it's eye, but he could not save the boat. The maddened brute probably did not feel the new wound jn its death-struggles. For, blowing out the thick black blood, and only thirsting for revenge, it tore the boat in pieces, and the foaming, blood¬ stained waves soon closed over a mass of frag¬ ments and swimmers, who only tried to clutch at a plank in the instinctive feeling of self- preservation. Patrick had, quite unconscious¬ ly, seized the line to which the harpoon was fastened, winding it round his arm ; tbe whale dragged him along through the discolored wa ters, and he would inevitably have been drown¬ ed had tho fish lived a few miuutes longer.— But the first cast had gono home, and rising again to the surface, tho whale swam once or twice in a circle, lashed the trembling waves wsth its gigantic flukes, and then floated alow¬ ly and dead upon the blood stained aea. Pat¬ rick, who had risen with it, and had beon ao unwillingly taken into tow by the whale, swam quietly up to the floating monster, and seizing the harpoon still sticking in it, raised himaelf np at the very moment when a piercing shriek ' sounded close behind him. In horror he turn¬ ed round; the cry for help waa truly agonit-i ing; bnt he felt aa if stabbed to the heart when he saw, at no great distance from him, the dark dorsal fins of two sharks, which, shot greedily back and forwards, ¦while the gurg¬ ling in the water just behind him, and the lashing of the waves, betrayed the spot where one of his comrades was fighting the fight of death in the merciless clutches of a third brute.
Here and there a few happy men belonging to the boat were still floating on oara and planks, but only three left of the merry fellowfl> who, but a few ¦ minutes before, had boldly looked danger ia the faoe, and now the iyienas of tho deep were revelling beneath them. . bf what avail was the poweriess blows of tbe arms aimed at them, or the yell of despair?

Stick of about two itichea in diameter, wa.- still firmly fixed in the steel. Tbia be pulled out, cut it away from the line with the lanyard knife every sailor wears on his per-^on, and then fastened the curd tu thu ritig of the har¬ poon. .\iid while he twisted the cunt tightly round hia left baud to have a bottt^r lioUlfast, he seizcil the shaft with renewed cotitidencp, aild uwiiitud with tigbtly-clcnchtid teeth, and Hashing eyes the attack uf the fuo. which, however, was deferred for some time.
Tho .'iharka were -HalintPiI for a while, and playcil ill the .streams of bloud which staiued the water around, ratlifr lliaii ^ou(:ht for fre.sh pri'y; thcy tried at times to catch hold ofthe slippirry, broiid carcase of the whale, or &w»m lazily or sleepily among the broUeu fragments of the boat, seizing a plank and holding it for a while between their tti'Ui, ami theu pushiug it beforo tbem with their round, spade-shaped ujiper jaws. The weather, fortuiuiteJy, wua quiet and cahn, and the rippHug wave^, in whicb the whale rode and sank, washed over Patrick, but none of the sharks had come near enough to scent him, or, if it had done so, had not noticed hiui; aud he hoped, perhaps, that he would be able to hold hia owu unaaaailed until the ship could comeup to save him, or, at least send ita boats. But where was the ship 7 Father of mercy! there waH uo prodpect of release for a loug, long while. For eveu at the dist.ince he theu was, it could not escape the the sailor's practiced eye that it was keeping away from him. The otlier boats, therefore, had caught their fish, aud with their booty aloogaide, would not be able to look after him At the same time, tbe suu burnt, hot and scor¬ ching, on his forehead, aud bis tougue clove to tbe roof of bis mouth. Water! The limpid waves bathed hia feet, and ht snouM perish with thri.st? He knelt down and washed his forehead and templetf.aud eyes and lipa, in order lo have a slight rcfreahmcnt, and then he bound his hankerchicf round his head—for he had lost hia hat at the deatructtou of tbo boat—in order to pr:'tect it in some measure from the scorch¬ ing beama.
Through thia movement, however the atten¬ tion of one uf the aliarks must have been attrac- te:l 10 him, or else, though satisfied and over satiated, it could not resist ita desire for more prey; fur just as he raised his hands he noti¬ ced that one of tbe largest dark fins, which projected abovo the water, was swiming in a^ direct line towards him. IIo had, in fact, scarcely time to raise himself, and prepare hia weapon of defence, when a tremendous fellow of aomethirteen feet in length ahot np tubim,. I aud tried to turn over the bnck ofthe whale aad pluck off what waa still upon it. But with the danger, all the sailor's daring courage re¬ turned to him, aud swinging tbe heavy shaft in his band, and holding the rope firmly with the, otber, be struck the head of tho monster such a powerful and well directed blow that the shark, half-stunned, slipped of tbe whale and sank ere it could prepare for a renewal of hos¬ tilities, or perhaps make up his miud to such a serious step. But other sharks had been attracted by the noise and splashing, oud al¬ though they did not dare an immediate uttack ou the bold mortal who veutured to withatand them in their native element, still they contin- uiilly swam iu narrower circles round the spot where he waa sitting, and onoe or twice thcy came so near that Put gave them one or two hearty blowa across the jaws, to teach them to be respectful to him and keep their proper dis¬ tance. But the shark is a greedy, obstinate brute, aud even when wounded, always returns to any booty ithas once scented, aa long as it retaiuB the necessary strength. So it was in this instance.. Again aud again the heavy stick was required to teach tbem that there waa nothiog here for them to fetch—at least, so long as the young Irishman felt himself strong enough to straggle against hunger and thirst, the scorching sunbeams, and the constaut, fearful excitement of his nervoua system in the tremendous danger that ever surrounded htm. And the ship—no hope of salvation thence I Deeper and deeper sank tbe aun, aud tho ship . lay to the windward, witb its glistening aaila. But tbo beast that swam around him became more ravenons, and tried iu vain to drive their teeth through tbe tough skin of the sperm whale ; and when the stars were lighted, and gradually illuminated the sky, as far as the 1 bright strip which lay ou the Weatem horizon ' he watched the glistening beams shouting athwart the limpid wavea, as the sharks swam restlesaly backwards and forwards, and the peril that beset him grew worse with tbe night He clearly aaw the lights ofhis vcaael hung out for him—he even noticed, when it grew quite dark, the bright glimmer of the lubber ampa, and even tho pale lightwhicb came from the stoves of the oil-fryers, and were reflected ia the idly flapping sails. But what availed that to him? How could be hope to be seen from the ship in the darkness, and to be saved from his fearful position ?—and would merely human strength be able to endnre it till the next morning? He was no longer strong enough to keep on his feet, and sought to find somo little relief in kneeling down for a mo¬ ment, or so long ¦ as tbe approaching sharks permitted, upon his extraordinary float, and attempting to stretch himself at fuU length, ¦ even though it might bo in the water. Fruit, less hope ! his tormentors left him no rest, and I the danger of being surprised, seized, and pul¬ led down to a certain death, waa too imminent to allow him to await their, attack. The most greedy of the brutes, a young fiah scarcely more than eight feet in length, once went so far as to seize tbo harpoon, and held sufficiently long to be left half dry upon the sperm by the reti¬ ring wave ; but the oak stick struck it such a fearful blow aorpsa its treacherons, crafty-look¬ ing eyos, that the shark glided of the slippery whale, turned up its white stomach, and sank. Bat others took the brute's place, and only the glistening streak in the dark water rcTcaled their approach, and warned tho unhappy man to prepare himself for the renewed attack.
Hour after hour thns passed in this fearful contest for life; but fresh hope waa aroused in him when the ship drew nearer and nearer to him, and the signal gans clearly and distinctly reached his ear. At last he was able to recog¬ nise the forma on deck, as they moved back- ¦WBTdaand forwards in the flickering light.— "Ahoy—ho-^ahoyi» his wild despairing ory was wafted across the waters, as his comrades drifted alowly past without noticing him— "ahoy I"
Ag^nhe was compelled to defend his life; for the sharks, attracted by the aoarid of a human voice, came up from all sides,ind their dark dorsal fins cleft the surface of the Water in every direction.
