10 THE OMAHA DAILY KEK : SATURDAY , MAY 7 , 1892-TWELVB PAOKft A MOUNTAIN' ROMANCE. Written for Th > . lite ti hllttbith Ono rainy tiny In the curly winter of 3882 I found myself baa nnd hngtf.'tgo on the rnilwny platform nt.Gnuul Junction , Col. As the trnln lossoncil In the tlls- tanco - I took ii survey of my surroundI- ngH. - .

The town .Iny sonic tllstnnco nwny from the depot , but from my platform isliuid I could HOC n good number of mud shanties , n few frame buildings and ono solitary bride.- I . lood under the sheltering eaves fora moment nnd asked myself what fate it- va that landed mo here.- I . had boon traveling through the west during the summer and now on my way hero I had stopped to see ono who was my oldest and dearest frlond , the wife of the superintendent nf a mlno on the headwaters of the White rlvor. She had tried to prop'iro mo for the discom- forts of the journey after I should leave the railroad , but I found no words could doMTibo it as vividly im i afterwards felt it , and I heartily wished mysoU safe in the luxury of u Pullman mid speed- ing ¬ eastward. However , I pulled my- tolf - together and wont to Uio agent to ink when the sWigo would leave for Mi-nlcor and found I could not go till * morning , so giv- ing ¬ a small boy a ouartor- to carry my grip 1 gingerly picked my way from brick to brick nliinir the cause- way ¬ that lul to the town proper. The mm was just beginning to strngglo through the watery mist in thn wei.1 and colored the cloud a delicate rose hue and illuminated the blue Hook clllTs and sent a beam to Uio far dlttlant points of the grand canon ol llio Colorado toward whence Uio ( irmul was rolling its swift turbulent and clay colored waters. The next morning as 1 entered the hotel dining room I hoard , "Well , if that , ain't the darnedestfi- ohomo. . D'ye know that mine was suited for all it was worth and then they run a lot of suckers in hero and loaded them all they could carry. Haw , haw. " " 1 bollovn the Tin Cup mlno upon the Is bonylldy. " 'Oh , yes , 1 guess so. They take out pny oro'riuhtiilong. Uonfrowisa pretty Hlraitrht feller ami wouldn't run any Balled concern. I'm going along up to Mocker to see about a claim. Can't run In any gum game on mo. " With this the apoakorroo and in lieu of napkins combed their boards with their lingers and brushed the crumbs from their vests , j had discovered that they would bo passengers on the stage which would take mo to Meeker and I wondered if they wore to bo my only companions on nil fly mile riuo not that I was lit all afraid for they appeared to- Im merely shrewd , good natured , ordin- ary ¬ business men , but I began to fool the want of some woman's conversation for 1 had been months away from friends and home. The morning was clear and pleasant , and the air bracing as wo dragged In- boriouslv - out north through the almost bottomless clay road. Tlioro wore no other passengers but the two men and myself , so I turned my intention to the Hconory. To the right across Grand river rose bare and rugged peaks which suggested desolation instead of gran- dour. - . Away to the west wore the sym- metrical ¬ outlines of the Hook elilYs , while the great lion Hack re so toward the' north , ami about noon we began to- asciond its rugged slopes. The t.wo men had eyed mo curiously at first , and then began talking ol mines and the various arts and tricks of Uio unscrupulous to outwit the gullible ten ¬ derfoot. Hut gradually they overcame tlu-ir apparent dillidenco in addressing a woman , mul began after true American style to want to know all about my an- tecedents ¬ , and above all my reason for taking sucli an unusual journey. When I told thorn I expected to visit Mrs. ltd n trow lit the Tin Cup mine ono whis- tled ¬ expressively and said , "You'll bo likely to stay for all winter. " "WhyV'l asked- ."Hecauso . if signs go for anything there is going to bo tin everlasting snowfall befoio long. " I glanced at the sky , and to my un- practiced - eye there was nothing unus- ual. ¬ . It was eloar save for n soft Indian Bummer htuo which hung over all the face of nature. So I laughed and said I- wasn't afraid of a litllo snow- .It . was Into at night when our six panting mules drove UD before what passed for a hotel at Meeker. How good was the sight of a lady's face as the landlady came to meet mo and con- ducted ¬ mo to u little unplastorod hul f- Htory f- room under the sloping roof lint I cared for no ajstliotic surround- ings ¬ as 1 did for the familiar looking and billowy featherbed covered with a ' 'China Hose" patchwork quilt. Every bono was aching from the rolling and lurching of the stage over a muddy mountain road. Sleep came to "knit up Uio ravelled- Hloove of caro" and 1 only woke when the landlady called mo to 'say that the burro train of provisions I was to accom- pany ¬ was nearly ready. It was with dismay I thought of an additional ride of twenty miles on horseback after my experience of the previous day. 1 won- dered ¬ peevishly why my friends could not live in tilvllizatlon or else not expect me to visit thorn. As I eamo down stairs 3 mot my frlond of the day before and lie said : -'Well , goodbye. I'll ' bet a quarter you don't see Meeker in four months. " The ride was the personification of- monotony. . The trail lay along the bot- tom ¬ of a narrow canon and only now and then could a glimpsp be caught of some prominent peak above the ragged side walls- .At . noon a little Incident occurred to vary Urn monotony. Ono of the men , Htooping to straighten the pack on a burro , wan kicked olT a little sbolf only four foot down , but his face , after I bail done it up in court plaster , was a good plan of the battle of Waterloo , the patches being in the form of a great A , with the sunken road of Olmin across the bridge of his noso. All the discomfort of my journey was forgotten in the overllowintr enthusiasm of my welcome. Ovar and over again did "My Mnrirnrot. " as I had called her In oldtimo gohool days rmh In from her little log kitchen to ask mo if there was nny thing she could do to ease myaoh'.ng bones. As 1 looked around the little rooms , unplastorod save with grout dug from neighboring hills , 1 began to ap- preciate ¬ the decorative possibilities of dotted Swiss and red ribbons , but then Margaret could II ml beauty to utilize on the bleakest of desert isles. Fiom my- ectit by the same window I could see the log mlno buildings on the opposite slope of the gulch and tbedny shtflcomingout- lf' < o bees from a luvo end scattering to- tuo various little shanties dotted along the side of the stream. As I looked Margaret came and looked over my- tdiouldor and exclaimed : "There's John , " and then , "why , what can bo the matter , " for just behind him , on an- impsovlsed stretcher of plnn boughs , four man woio carrying another , so still and tlll it did not Bcotn as if ho could bo- Murgarotsald : "IIolp ino {jot a bed rondv , " and by the time the men reached the door with their burden a bed win stripped to mattress and sheets , nnd they laid him upon it , whllo .John said , briefly ; "An accident to the machinery.- Ho .

Ono day lie abruptly asked how long slnco ho had boon hurl. . 1 to'.d him throe weeks. Ho turned his head away with . deep sigh and said no moro for 'a few minutes Then ho asked , ' "Hotit how far is it to Cairo , lll.V" 1 said I did not know oxac.tly , though nearly a thousand miles- .'ish . " Iwas there , " ho jerked out with an oll'ort. 1 began to suspect that . 'The girl I loft behind me" was troubling him and he wanted to talk about it and did r.ol know how to begin. Ho I rather banter- Ingly - said : "Toll mo about her. " Ho looked at mo with a look of com- ical ¬ dismay and said : "Why , how did you know ? " and then said , "I mif.'ht as well toll some one , though there ain't much to loll. I used to live down in Cairo and was a roustabout on a Miss- issippi ¬ steamer.

That made mo hot and I went and told Hank ho was not doing the fair thing , not allowing her to dance with anyone but him. Ho laughed and said she didn't seem to think it any hardship. Well , wo both got mad and I told him I would dance wilh her anyway , and I went bade and said Ilanlc couldn't Itcop his engage ¬ ment. Well , she danced with mo , but Ilnnk nnd mo voro enemies and ho did mo every bad turn lie could. Well , I used to go down the river every Sunday to old imn Loo's place and sometimes found Hank Simpson there , and bo wont down sometimes in the week. 1 couldn't toll which of us Klsio liked the best or whether she was fooling both of us. She was pretty enough for bettor than " us. Hero a tender note crept into his voice- ."I . had to go down on the boat to- Vicksburer , which would take about two weeks , as wo would have to wait for u- cargo. . It was a regular purgatory to- me all the time I was gone , for 1 was afraid Hank would got the best of mo and I made up my mind to htivo it out when I got back. The next Sunday I wont down. I had bought a ring in- yickhburg.witb two clasped bunds hold- ing ¬ a little garnet , to give her and thought maybe that would help mo- out. . I found tier In a little arbor in a corner of tiio garden. She seamed glad to sea me but she acted the same to Hank , so I couldn't toll anything from that. She asked mo about the trip , and wanted to know if I had lost my heart to any pretty girl in- Vicksburg. . I thought it was now or never , so I said , bow could I when I loft it at homoV 'Who took care of it while you were gono'i" she askod. 'I'd like to think you did'I , said. 'I wish , Elsie , you could like mo a little bolter than Hank Simpson. You know how much I care for you. ' "Sho looked down and dug her shoo into the dirt and said , 'How should I? You never told me. ' 'Well , [ loll you now , and 1 can't boar to think of Hank coining hero to see you wnon I want you to marry mo. ' "Klsio looked at mo a minute as if I had scared her , and then said : 'Why. Hob , I didn't know you meant any ¬ thing'- "Woll , Miss Majors , she didn't make much fuss when 1 put my arm around her and kissed hor. I felt as if I was in- nuavon , and oven foil sorry for Hank Simpson. I wanted to do" something great that would make mo worthy to have Elsie for my wife. After she "had given mo her promise I didn't care for IIiiiiu Simpson and wasn't a bit jealous of him. She told mo that she htul bojjnti- to care for mo at Uio dance , but had boon afraid to cross Hank , as ho had such a tompor. ' 'Maybo you want to know why I am way out here. Woll. Elsie and mo agreed that it was no use trying to make any money to buy a homo working for day's wages on the rivor. I hoard that good men in the mines In the mountains got bijr wages , and so I thought I would try.

" The poor follow turned his bond away witli tears In his eyes , Ry way of con- solation ¬ I said , "You maybe able to send a loiter soon.1- "No , ho said , "thoro's ton foot of snow in White canon. " Ho seamed in the depths of misery and I loft him. The weeks slipped away and the weather was steadily cold , with occas- ional ¬ light falls of enow , and as Hob Travorsloy looked out of his little win- dow ¬ at the loundod outlines of the peaks I could see that his heart was fur uwny with the girl ho loved , perhaps thinking1 that bis rival was talcing advantage of his silence to catch a heart on the rebound , A week before Christmas the wouthor suddenly moder- ated ¬ and the air felt as balmy us spring. The snpw molted rapidly and began to disappear in our little valley and on the lower slopes of the mountain.

( , Between UK- years 1810 and 18V. ) the whti'ing ' vessels of inch nations ns pur- sued ¬ the lovintlo'n. of the deep for his commercial vnlud encountered no less than live whales 'wSo became famous ns terrors of tlio POII. ., "Thoy wore "Mocha Dick , " "Spotted . .Torn , " "Shy Jack , " "Ugly Jim" "Fighting Joe. ' These names worp , of course , given them by the sailors , but they came to- bo known by wlmljjrs of all nations. You may think it curious Unit one whale could bo idontllk'd from another of the same and specie ?, but it was no more dillloult than to identify n txirticu- lar - horse in n drove of several hundred.- In . other words * each leviathan has some peculiar mark or characteristic of his own , nnd If sighted two or three times can bo idunllllcd forever afterward.- "Mocha . Dick" headed the list of ter- rors ¬ from the start and kept his place for nineteen long years. No whale was so liercoly hunted , and none ever cre- ated ¬ so much datnngo among the hun ¬ ters. What 1 am going to tell you Is partly a matter of public record in Eng- land ¬ , Scotland and America , and was partjy gleaned from Nnntuekct and New Bedford whalers who battled with the cachalot time after tlmo , to sulTor defeat on o.ich occasion.- On . the f th day of July , IS 10 , the English whaling brig Desmond , being 21i > miles duo west of the port of Val- paraiso ¬ , Chili , sighted a lone whale which breached his full length above tlio surface about two miles away. The boats wore lowered , but before they were within half a mlle of the whale ho slowed around head on to them and advanced to moot them. Ho struck ono boat with his bond and drove her under stern II rat and then chewed her up Ho then sounded and was lost to sight for llfteon minutes. When bo came up it was to lift the other boat thirty fool high on liis bead , and of course she was completely shattered. Oars and planks wore ground line by his tcolh as ho wal- lowed ¬ ubout , and two men were dt owned before the whale wont slowly off to the north. This was "Mocha Dick's" intro- duction ¬ to the blubber hunters. IIo was the largest whale any one aboard the brig bad over seen , nnd across his head was a scar about eight foot long , which showed almost white on the grayblackb- ackground. . It was by this scar ho was over afterward identilled. The next craft to encounter "Mocha- Dick" was the llussian bark Saroptn. This was on Uio "Oth of August , almost two months later , and she was fully 500 miles to the south 'pf the spot whore ho was first scon. She lowered two boats for a lone whale and killed him. The bark was three miles away , and boating down to the whale under a light , when "Mocha Dick" suddenly shot out of the water botwc'on the vessel and the boats. ' Such .'aji bis impetus that nearly his full length could bo traced before ho fell with a crash which could have boon board far miles around. As soon as ho had righted himself ho made straight for tlio ' boats. Ono of them passed around Uio1 dead whale before ho got up , but the fjthor was caught by the sweep of his jaw .as ho came on and knocked to pieces. Ho then took up his position beside the dead whale and mained quiet tor hnlf an hour , during which interval the" other boat pulled olT- to tlio bark. Three men had been lost and a fourth had both arms broken , while the sailors bad been given such a fright that they could not bo induced to attack. The vessel hung about Uio spot for throe hours , hoping llio fierce leviathan would take himself oil' , but finally had to sail away and leave him in possession. Tlio dead whale was taken possession of two days later by Uio whaling ship , John Bruce of Nantucket , but it was no longer guarded. The next authentic record of "Mocha- Dick" was furnished by the Bristol whaler John Day , in May of the year following. She was then to ibo casl of- tlio Falkland islands , and was trying out blubber as she drifted with a light breczo. A 2 o'eloc'k in the afternoon a- gitrantic whale breached within 800 foot of her , shooting his full length out of water , and raising such a sea by bis fall jhat the ship rolled as if in n gale. The whale then swam slowly about , tinu as soon as tlio men caught sight of his head they identified him us- 'Mocha Dick. " His actions wore men- acing ¬ , but the captain at once decided to attack him. Three boats wore lowered , and as the whale nmdo oft" to windward the llrst mate put a harpoon Into him- .Tliis . was Uio first iron "Mocha Dick" hud over felt. Ho sounded tit once and run for three miles , and when ho came up it was to slue around and head for the boat. His action was so unexpected and his speed so great , that bo caught tlio boat unprepared and ran right over it. As it wont under ho stopped short nnd turned as on a pivot , boating the water all the tune with llukos which measured twenty-four feel across. Nothing was loft of tlio boat but splinters , and two of her crow wore killed or drowned. The other two boats advanced to Uio tittaok , bul before they wore near enough to dart , the whale settled away like n lump of lead. One of the boats got hold of the lloating line , but had scarcely secured it when the tricky ilgbtor came up under Uio other nnd sent it skyward with tlio bottom knocked out. Ho then pivoted and thrashed the surface as before , and another man was lost and two others se- verely ¬ injured. The crow had had enough of "Moohn Dick , " and while bo hauled olT and lay waiting for another tittacu the remain- ing ¬ boat wuj luiulcd up and the ship biioakcd away. The English captain had vowed that if ho over encountered that whale lie would kill , him or lose his wbolo outllt of mon and bouts , but an- hour's lighting satisfied him that bo had undertaken too 'big a job. The particulars of the several encoun- ters ¬ recorded above wore soon known to all whalers. Somu captains decided to lot "Mocha Dielc" severely iilono , while others wore ambitious to secure the credit of killing him. Ilowovor , ho dis- appeared ¬ after tlio light with the John Day and was not spun again for seven- teen - months. It had ooinotobo general- ly ¬ believed that ho bad died of old ago or killed in : i light with another whale , when ho suddonry turned up In Uio 1'ti- clllo - ocean oil' the east const of Jupun. Hero occurred Uio battle of his lifo.- A . coasting craft had been blown olT the coast by n heavy L'tilo and was making her way back. It was about an hour after daylight when a big whale was soon to broach about two miles away. It was passed over as a trilling incident , but ton or fifteen minutes Inter the loviathlan was discovered rushing down in the wake of the craft with all the steam ho could put on. He was t o close aboard uud the sight of him throw the natives into such a terror Unit no olTort was made to escape him. Ilo struck the craft on her Blent and wreukod her in an Instant , and pieces of tlio wreckage were carried away in his jaws as ho swerved to port nnd swam slowly away. As the cargo of tlio coaster was of lumber , the men soon knocked totjothor ti raft. Tlio craft did not go down , but sank until her decks wore awash , and the men had not yet mil oft" on their raft , when throe whnllng vessels appealed in sight all at- onco. . These proved to bo tlio Glasgow whnlor CrlolT , the Now Bedford whaler Ynnkco and the English whaler Dud ¬ ley. All had hoard of "Moclm Dick , " but all thought him dead. By 8 o'clock the three whalers wore up and had heard the story , but "Moulin Dick''had disap- peared ¬ an hour bo foro. It was nurecd- to separate ami search for him. and that if lie were found all three ships should take part in the attack and share in the credit ol ridding the deep of such a ter- ror. ¬ . They did not hnvo to hunt for the follow , however. While tlio captains wore planning ho suddenly showed up about a mlle to windward. After his usual fashion ho came to the surface under such headway that ho seemed to stand upright on the tit ) of his llukos be- fo - o ho foil over on his side with a crash like the fall of a great building. Ho wallowed noout for n time , and then slued around hetul to the whalers and remained perfectly quiet , IIo seemed to- bo asking what they were going to do about it , and the query was answered by the fall of n boat from each vessel. These had only pulled away when three moro wore lowered to support them. Lots had been cast as to which boat should have the lirst show , and the honor had fallen to the Yankoo. Her boat took n circuit to approach the whale from behind , while llio other two lay on their oars lo wait. Tno whale seemed for a limo to bo asleep , but all of- a sudden settled away .10 quick that every one was dumbfounded. Ho was about to try his old dodgoof coming up under n boat , and each one of them w.is pulled away from the spot and a sharp watch kept for signs of his brdac.bhit ; . It was twenty minutes before "Mocha- Dick' ' showed up again. Ilo had hoped to catch n boat , but all wore too lively for him , and whllo ho lay wallowing lii the seas his fall had created the matu of the Yankee put a harpoon into him. The old lighter humped up as the iron went in , and for live minutes scorned to have been struck dead. Then ho made a rush for tlio Scotchman's boat , ran right over it , and slued about for the Englishman. It wag pulling away from him when ho rushed again , caught it with a s'ving of his long under jaw, and the onloookors behold 'a spectacle none of thorn over forgot. The whale lifted his great head clear out of water with the boat in his mouth , and at- ono'bite made matchwood of it and pulp of iwo of llio crow who had boon unable to tumble out. The crews of the two boats wore now lloating on the oars , and the whale pivoted and Inslied the sea witli his flukes to destroy them. In this manner ho Killed two mon , but ono of the reserve boats came up in gallant style and rescued Uio others. The Yankee's boat was the only ono fast to Uio whale , and after vainly trying to or smash it , "Mocha Dick" sud- denly ¬ started for the wreck of the coaster , which was lloating two miles away. Ho mndo a straight course , and the three captains were agreed that his speed , when fairly under way , was not less than thirty miles tin hour. As ho struck the wreck ho bore it down , nnd it rose behind him bottom side up. To prevent a collision the boat had to cut her line , and the whale soon sounded nnd was lost to sight. Tlio boat started back , but had not yet ranched the ships , when the fighting leviathan broached under Uio bows of the Scotchman and carried away jibboom and bowsprit with smash. lie had planned to come up under she ship , but had missed it. As ho fell upon liis side nnd rolled over on an oven keel , so to spuak , bo made a rush for iho Yan- kee's ¬ boat. lie was so close on that till the crow wont overboard , and lie picked the light craft up and chewed it as a- liorso does his oals. Had il boon calm "Mocha Dick" might have sunk the licet. Luckily the kept growing stronger , and ns- soor. . AS the mon from the Yankee's boal could bo picked up Iho three crafts sot sail and boat an inglorious retreat , leav- ing ¬ the whale hunting about for moro victims. From llrst to last "Mocha- Diok" had jiinotoon harpoons put into him. Ho stove fourteen boats and caused the death of over thirty men. Ho slovo- ihroo whaling vessels so badly that they wore nearly lost , and ho attacked and sunk a French merchantman and an- Austinlian trader. Ho was encountered in every ocean and on every known feed- ing ¬ ground. Ho was killed olT the Braxllian banks in August , 1859 , by a- Swedisli whaler , which gathered him in with scarcely nny trouble , but it has al- ways ¬ been believed that poor old "Mocha- Dick" was dying of old 1120. He meas- ured ¬ 110 feet long ; his girth wan 57 feel ; his jaw was 2o foot ( i inches long. Eight of his teeth were broken on" and nil the others badly worn down. His big bond was n mass of scars , and ho had appar- ently ¬ lost the sight of his right eye.

A MOUNTAIN' ROMANCE.
Written for Th >. lite ti hllttbithOno rainy tiny In the curly winter of
3882 I found myself baa nnd hngtf.'tgo on

good number of mud shanties , n fewframe buildings and ono solitary bride.-
I.
lood under the sheltering eaves foramoment nnd asked myself what fate it-
va that landed mo here.-
I.
had boon traveling through the westduring the summer and now on my way
hero I had stopped to see ono who was
my oldest and dearest frlond , the wife ofthe superintendent nf a mlno on theheadwaters of the White rlvor. Shehad tried to prop'iro mo for the discom-forts of the journey after I should leavethe railroad , but I found no words coulddoMTibo it as vividly im i afterwardsfelt it , and I heartily wished mysoU safein the luxury of u Pullman mid speed-ing
¬
eastward. However , I pulled my-
tolf-
together and wont to Uio agent toink when the sWigo would leavefor Mi-nlcor and found I couldnot go till * morning , so giv-
ing¬
a small boy a ouartor-to carry my grip 1 gingerly picked myway from brick to brick nliinir the cause-way
¬
that lul to the town proper. Themm was just beginning to strngglothrough the watery mist in thn wei.1 andcolored the cloud a delicate rose hue andilluminated the blue Hook clllTs and senta beam to Uio far dlttlant points of thegrand canon ol llio Colorado towardwhence Uio ( irmul was rolling its swiftturbulent and clay colored waters.
The next morning as 1 entered thehotel dining room I hoard ,
"Well , if that , ain't the darnedestfi-ohomo. . D'ye know that mine was suitedfor all it was worth and then they run alot of suckers in hero and loaded themall they could carry. Haw , haw. "
" 1 bollovn the Tin Cup mlno upon theIs bonylldy. "
'Oh , yes , 1 guess so. They take outpny oro'riuhtiilong. Uonfrowisa prettyHlraitrht feller ami wouldn't run anyBalled concern. I'm going along up toMocker to see about a claim. Can't runIn any gum game on mo. "
With this the apoakorroo and in lieuof napkins combed their boards withtheir lingers and brushed the crumbsfrom their vests , j had discovered thatthey would bo passengers on the stagewhich would take mo to Meeker and Iwondered if they wore to bo my onlycompanions on nil fly mile riuo not thatI was lit all afraid for they appeared to-
Im merely shrewd , good natured , ordin-ary
¬
business men , but I began to foolthe want of some woman's conversationfor 1 had been months away from friendsand home.
The morning was clear and pleasant ,
and the air bracing as wo dragged In-
boriouslv-
out north through the almostbottomless clay road. Tlioro wore noother passengers but the two men andmyself , so I turned my intention to theHconory. To the right across Grandriver rose bare and rugged peaks whichsuggested desolation instead of gran-dour.
-. Away to the west wore the sym-
metrical¬
outlines of the Hook elilYs ,
while the great lion Hack re so towardthe' north , ami about noon we began to-
asciond its rugged slopes.The t.wo men had eyed mo curiously at
first , and then began talking ol minesand the various arts and tricks of Uiounscrupulous to outwit the gullible ten ¬
derfoot. Hut gradually they overcametlu-ir apparent dillidenco in addressinga woman , mul began after true Americanstyle to want to know all about my an-tecedents
¬
, and above all my reason fortaking sucli an unusual journey. WhenI told thorn I expected to visit Mrs.ltd n trow lit the Tin Cup mine ono whis-tled
¬
expressively and said , "You'll bolikely to stay for all winter. "
"WhyV'l asked-."Hecauso
.
if signs go for anythingthere is going to bo tin everlastingsnowfall befoio long. "
I glanced at the sky , and to my un-
practiced-
eye there was nothing unus-ual.
¬
. It was eloar save for n soft IndianBummer htuo which hung over all theface of nature. So I laughed and said I-
wasn't afraid of a litllo snow-.It
.
was Into at night when our sixpanting mules drove UD before whatpassed for a hotel at Meeker. How goodwas the sight of a lady's face as thelandlady came to meet mo and con-ducted
¬
mo to u little unplastorod hul f-
Htoryf-
room under the sloping rooflint I cared for no ajstliotic surround-ings
¬
as 1 did for the familiarlooking and billowy featherbed coveredwith a ' 'China Hose" patchwork quilt.Every bono was aching from the rollingand lurching of the stage over a muddymountain road.
Sleep came to "knit up Uio ravelled-Hloove of caro" and 1 only woke whenthe landlady called mo to 'say that theburro train of provisions I was to accom-pany
¬
was nearly ready. It was withdismay I thought of an additional rideof twenty miles on horseback after myexperience of the previous day. 1 won-dered
¬
peevishly why my friends couldnot live in tilvllizatlon or else not expectme to visit thorn. As I eamo down stairs3 mot my frlond of the day before andlie said : -'Well , goodbye. I'll' bet aquarter you don't see Meeker in fourmonths. "
The ride was the personification of-monotony. . The trail lay along the bot-tom
¬
of a narrow canon and only now andthen could a glimpsp be caught of someprominent peak above the ragged sidewalls-
.At.
noon a little Incident occurred tovary Urn monotony. Ono of the men ,Htooping to straighten the pack on aburro , wan kicked olT a little sbolf onlyfour foot down , but his face , after I baildone it up in court plaster , was a goodplan of the battle of Waterloo , thepatches being in the form of a great A ,with the sunken road of Olmin acrossthe bridge of his noso.
All the discomfort of my journey wasforgotten in the overllowintr enthusiasmof my welcome. Ovar and over againdid "My Mnrirnrot. " as I had called herIn oldtimo gohool days rmh In from herlittle log kitchen to ask mo if there wasnny thing she could do to ease myaoh'.ngbones. As 1 looked around the littlerooms , unplastorod save with grout dugfrom neighboring hills , 1 began to ap-preciate
¬
the decorative possibilities ofdotted Swiss and red ribbons , but thenMargaret could II ml beauty to utilize onthe bleakest of desert isles. Fiom my-ectit by the same window I could see thelog mlno buildings on the opposite slopeof the gulch and tbedny shtflcomingout-lf' < o bees from a luvo end scattering to-
tuo various little shanties dotted alongthe side of the stream. As I lookedMargaret came and looked over my-tdiouldor and exclaimed : "There'sJohn , " and then , "why , what can bothe matter , " for just behind him , on an-impsovlsed stretcher of plnn boughs , fourman woio carrying another , so still andtlll it did not Bcotn as if ho could bo-
Murgarotsald : "IIolp ino {jot a bed

Vicksburer , which would take about twoweeks , as wo would have to wait for u-
cargo.. It was a regular purgatory to-
me all the time I was gone , for 1 wasafraid Hank would got the best of moand I made up my mind to htivo it outwhen I got back. The next Sunday Iwont down. I had bought a ring in-
yickhburg.witb two clasped bunds hold-ing
¬
a little garnet , to give her andthought maybe that would help mo-out. . I found tier In a littlearbor in a corner of tiio garden.She seamed glad to sea me but sheacted the same to Hank , so I couldn'ttoll anything from that. She asked moabout the trip , and wanted to know if Ihad lost my heart to any pretty girl in-
Vicksburg. . I thought it was now ornever , so I said , bow could I when I loftit at homoV 'Who took care of it whileyou were gono'i" she askod. 'I'd like tothink you did'I, said. 'I wish , Elsie ,you could like mo a little bolter thanHank Simpson. You know how much Icare for you. '
"Sho looked down and dug her shoointo the dirt and said , 'How should I ?You never told me. ' 'Well , [ loll younow , and 1 can't boar to think of Hankcoining hero to see you wnon I want youto marry mo. '
"Klsio looked at mo a minute as if Ihad scared her , and then said : 'Why.Hob , I didn't know you meant any ¬
thing'-"Woll , Miss Majors , she didn't make
much fuss when 1 put my arm aroundher and kissed hor. I felt as if I was in-
nuavon , and oven foil sorry for HankSimpson. I wanted to do" somethinggreat that would make mo worthy tohave Elsie for my wife. After she "hadgiven mo her promise I didn't care forIIiiiiu Simpson and wasn't a bit jealousof him. She told mo that she htul bojjnti-to care for mo at Uio dance , but hadboon afraid to cross Hank , as ho hadsuch a tompor.
' 'Maybo you want to know why I amway out here. Woll. Elsie and moagreed that it was no use trying to makeany money to buy a homo working forday's wages on the rivor. I hoard thatgood men in the mines In the mountainsgot bijr wages , and so I thought I wouldtry. I wont to see Elsie the night be-
fore-
I came away , and she criedand hung to mo till 1 nlmosllost my courage to go , but I-
did. . I have boon hero a yonrnow and saved a good deal. I havewritten to Elsie every tlmo any onowent to Maokor and bad letters prettyoften.

The weeks slipped away and theweather was steadily cold , with occas-ional

It itirely falls to the lot of the reviewerto notice so exhaustive a work as the"World's Fair Souvenir , " which hasbeen compiled with so much euro by aformer resident of Omaha , John 1) .
Jones. For purposes of reference , of-
comparispn and for general informationthe work is a magnilicont rollox of thepush and energy of a city that is the won-
der¬
of the world.-
In.
its compilation expense has notbeen thought of, and the richness of itsillustrations of Uio World's fair build-ings
¬
, cuts of the men and women who tiredirecting to a sucocssiul issue what bidsfair to bo the greatest exposition of an-
cient¬
or modern times , picturesof Uio colossal Dusincss blocks thatstand ns monuments to the enterprise oftheir owners and builders , is typical ofthe "Chicago gait , " as the rush andbustle of the great city by the inland seahas boon described.
The book lias been arranged upon amost comprehensive plan , llio object ofthe publisher being to givn a complexresume of what may bo seen in Chicagoin 1893 , and at the sainu time give theinformation in a compact form , so thatthe work may bo a valuable adjunct tothe library and reading room. Its uso-
ulnoss-
will not end with the close of-
Uio exposition , but on the contrary willgrow in value with years , for it is themost perfect compendium yet issued of-
an ovcni which cannot fail to have aninfluence for many docadosto como upondll lines of art , literature and com ¬
merce. As Mr. .Tones says in the intro-duction
¬
to the work : "As tin educatorthis event will Icavo its impress uponsucceeding generations and boar fruit intill realms of human thought , ingenuitynnd progress. "
In addition to its complete epitome ofwhat has boon done , is doing and will bodone when the fair opens , it comes tothe general public at a most opportunetime. It brings before the Americanpeople the forces that tire actively atwork to make the exposition n successworthy of a nation that in a little ovar ncentury has , from nothing , buiided themighiiest republic of earth , It not onlygives full page art typo illustrations anddescriptions of the principal buildingsof previous world's fairs and till thebuildings of Uio present World's Colum-bian

Exposition , together with portraitsand biographical sketches of itsolliccrs and chiefs of departments ,
but it tolls "How to Roauh theFair , " gives descriptions of Chica-go's

.
other words * each leviathan has somepeculiar mark or characteristic of hisown , nnd If sighted two or three timescan bo idunllllcd forever afterward.-
"Mocha.
Dick" headed the list of ter-rors
¬
from the start and kept his placefor nineteen long years. No whale wasso liercoly hunted , and none ever cre-
ated¬
so much datnngo among the hun ¬
ters. What 1 am going to tell you Ispartly a matter of public record in Eng-land
¬
, Scotland and America , and waspartjy gleaned from Nnntuekct andNew Bedford whalers who battled withthe cachalot time after tlmo , to sulTordefeat on o.ich occasion.-
On.
the f th day of July , IS 10 , theEnglish whaling brig Desmond , being21i > miles duo west of the port of Val-
paraiso¬
, Chili , sighted a lone whalewhich breached his full length abovetlio surface about two miles away. Theboats wore lowered , but before theywere within half a mlle of the whaleho slowed around head on to them andadvanced to moot them. Ho struck onoboat with his bond and drove her understern II rat and then chewed her up Hothen sounded and was lost to sight forllfteon minutes. When bo came up itwas to lift the other boat thirty foolhigh on liis bead , and of course she wascompletely shattered. Oars and plankswore ground line by his tcolh as ho wal-lowed
¬
ubout , and two men were dt ownedbefore the whale wont slowly off to thenorth. This was "Mocha Dick's" intro-duction
¬
to the blubber hunters. IIo wasthe largest whale any one aboard thebrig bad over seen , nnd across his headwas a scar about eight foot long , whichshowed almost white on the grayblackb-ackground. . It was by this scar ho wasover afterward identilled.
The next craft to encounter "Mocha-Dick" was the llussian bark Saroptn.This was on Uio "Oth of August , almosttwo months later, and she was fully 500miles to the south 'pf the spot whore howas first scon. She lowered two boatsfor a lone whale and killed him. Thebark was three miles away , and boatingdown to the whale under a light ,
when "Mocha Dick" suddenly shot outof the water botwc'on the vessel and theboats. ' Such .'aji bis impetus thatnearly his full length could bo tracedbefore ho fell with a crash which couldhave boon board far miles around. Assoon as ho had righted himself ho madestraight for tlio ' boats. Ono of thempassed around Uio1 dead whale before hogot up , but the fjthor was caught by thesweep of his jaw .as ho came on andknocked to pieces. Ho then took uphis position beside the dead whale andmained quiet tor hnlf an hour , duringwhich interval the" other boat pulled olT-
to tlio bark.Three men had been lost and a fourth
had both arms broken , while the sailorsbad been given such a fright that theycould not bo induced to attack. Thevessel hung about Uio spot for throehours , hoping llio fierce leviathan wouldtake himself oil' , but finally had to sailaway and leave him in possession. Tliodead whale was taken possession of twodays later by Uio whaling ship , JohnBruce of Nantucket , but it was no longerguarded.
The next authentic record of "Mocha-Dick" was furnished by the Bristolwhaler John Day , in May of the yearfollowing. She was then to ibo casl of-
tlio Falkland islands , and was trying outblubber as she drifted with a lightbreczo. A 2 o'eloc'k in the afternoon a-
gitrantic whale breached within 800 footof her , shooting his full length out ofwater , and raising such a sea by bis falljhat the ship rolled as if in n gale. Thewhale then swam slowly about , tinu assoon as tlio men caught sight ofhis head they identified him us-
'Mocha Dick. " His actions wore men-acing
¬
, but the captain at once decided toattack him. Three boats wore lowered ,
and as the whale nmdo oft" to windwardthe llrst mate put a harpoon Into him-.Tliis
.
was Uio first iron "Mocha Dick"hud over felt. Ho sounded tit once andrun for three miles , and when ho cameup it was to slue around and head forthe boat. His action was so unexpectedand his speed so great , that bo caughttlio boat unprepared and ran right overit.
As it wont under ho stopped short nndturned as on a pivot , boating the waterall the tune with llukos which measuredtwenty-four feel across. Nothing wasloft of tlio boat but splinters , and two ofher crow wore killed or drowned. Theother two boats advanced to Uio tittaok ,bul before they wore near enough todart , the whale settled away like n lumpof lead. One of the boats got hold of thelloating line , but had scarcely secured itwhen the tricky ilgbtor came up underUio other nnd sent it skyward with tliobottom knocked out. Ho then pivotedand thrashed the surface as before , andanother man was lost and two others se-
verely¬
injured.The crow had had enough of "Moohn
Dick , " and while bo hauled olT and laywaiting for another tittacu the remain-ing
¬
boat wuj luiulcd up and the shipbiioakcd away. The English captain hadvowed that if ho over encountered thatwhale lie would kill , him or lose hiswbolo outllt of mon and bouts , but an-hour's lighting satisfied him that bo hadundertaken too 'big a job.
The particulars of the several encoun-ters
¬
recorded above wore soon known toall whalers. Somu captains decided tolot "Mocha Dielc" severely iilono , whileothers wore ambitious to secure thecredit of killing him. Ilowovor , ho dis-appeared
¬
after tlio light with the JohnDay and was not spun again for seven-teen
-months. It had ooinotobo general-
ly¬
believed that ho bad died of old agoor killed in : i light with another whale ,
when ho suddonry turned up In Uio 1'ti-
clllo-
ocean oil' the east const of Jupun.Hero occurred Uio battle of his lifo.-
A.
coasting craft had been blown olT thecoast by n heavy L'tilo and was makingher way back. It was about an hourafter daylight when a big whale wassoon to broach about two miles away. Itwas passed over as a trilling incident ,
but ton or fifteen minutes Inter theloviathlan was discovered rushing downin the wake of the craft with all thesteam ho could put on. He was t o closeaboard uud the sight of him throw thenatives into such a terror Unit no olTortwas made to escape him. Ilo struck thecraft on her Blent and wreukod her in anInstant , and pieces of tlio wreckage werecarried away in his jaws as ho swervedto port nnd swam slowly away. As thecargo of tlio coaster was of lumber , themen soon knocked totjothor ti raft. Tliocraft did not go down , but sank until herdecks wore awash , and the men had not
yet mil oft" on their raft , when throewhnllng vessels appealed in sight all at-onco. . These proved to bo tlio Glasgowwhnlor CrlolT , the Now Bedford whalerYnnkco and the English whaler Dud ¬
ley.All had hoard of "Moclm Dick , " but
all thought him dead. By 8 o'clock thethree whalers wore up and had heardthe story , but "Moulin Dick''had disap-peared
¬
an hour bo foro. It was nurecd-to separate ami search for him. and thatif lie were found all three ships shouldtake part in the attack and share in thecredit ol ridding the deep of such a ter-ror.
¬
. They did not hnvo to hunt for thefollow , however. While tlio captainswore planning ho suddenly showed upabout a mlle to windward. After hisusual fashion ho came to the surfaceunder such headway that ho seemed tostand upright on the tit ) of his llukos be-fo
-
o ho foil over on his side with a crashlike the fall of a great building. Howallowed noout for n time , and thenslued around hetul to the whalers andremained perfectly quiet, IIo seemed to-bo asking what they were going to doabout it , and the query was answered bythe fall of n boat from each vessel.
These had only pulled away whenthree moro wore lowered to supportthem. Lots had been cast as to whichboat should have the lirst show , and thehonor had fallen to the Yankoo. Herboat took n circuit to approach thewhale from behind , while llio other twolay on their oars lo wait. Tno whaleseemed for a limo to bo asleep , but all of-a sudden settled away .10 quick thatevery one was dumbfounded. Ho wasabout to try his old dodgoof coming upunder n boat , and each one of themw.is pulled away from the spot and asharp watch kept for signs of hisbrdac.bhit ; .
It was twenty minutes before "Mocha-Dick' ' showed up again. Ilo had hopedto catch n boat , but all wore too livelyfor him , and whllo ho lay wallowing liithe seas his fall had created the matu ofthe Yankee put a harpoon into him.The old lighter humped up as the ironwent in , and for live minutes scorned tohave been struck dead. Then ho madea rush for tlio Scotchman's boat , ranright over it , and slued about for theEnglishman. It wag pulling away fromhim when ho rushed again , caught itwith a s'ving of his long under jaw ,and the onloookors behold 'a spectaclenone of thorn over forgot. Thewhale lifted his great head clear out ofwater with the boat in his mouth , and at-ono'bite made matchwood of it and pulpof iwo of llio crow who had boon unableto tumble out. The crews of the twoboats wore now lloating on the oars , andthe whale pivoted and Inslied the seawitli his flukes to destroy them. In thismanner ho Killed two mon , but ono ofthe reserve boats came up in gallantstyle and rescued Uio others.
The Yankee's boat was the only onofast to Uio whale , and after vainly tryingto or smash it , "Mocha Dick" sud-denly
¬
started for the wreck of thecoaster , which was lloating two milesaway. Ho mndo a straight course , andthe three captains were agreed that hisspeed , when fairly under way , was notless than thirty miles tin hour. As hostruck the wreck ho bore it down , nnd itrose behind him bottom side up. Toprevent a collision the boat had to cuther line , and the whale soon soundednnd was lost to sight. Tlio boat startedback , but had not yet ranchedthe ships , when the fightingleviathan broached under Uio bowsof the Scotchman and carried awayjibboom and bowsprit with smash.lie had planned to come up under sheship , but had missed it. As ho fell uponliis side nnd rolled over on an oven keel ,so to spuak , bo made a rush for iho Yan-kee's
¬
boat. lie was so close on that tillthe crow wont overboard , and lie pickedthe light craft up and chewed it as a-
liorso does his oals.Had il boon calm "Mocha Dick"
might have sunk the licet. Luckily thekept growing stronger , and ns-
soor. . AS the mon from the Yankee's boalcould bo picked up Iho three crafts sotsail and boat an inglorious retreat , leav-ing
¬
the whale hunting about for morovictims. From llrst to last "Mocha-Diok" had jiinotoon harpoons put intohim. Ho stove fourteen boats and causedthe death of over thirty men. Ho slovo-ihroo whaling vessels so badly that theywore nearly lost , and ho attacked andsunk a French merchantman and an-Austinlian trader. Ho was encounteredin every ocean and on every known feed-ing
¬
ground. Ho was killed olT theBraxllian banks in August , 1859 , by a-
Swedisli whaler , which gathered him inwith scarcely nny trouble , but it has al-
ways¬
been believed that poor old "Mocha-Dick" was dying of old 1120. He meas-ured
¬
110 feet long ; his girth wan 57 feel ;
his jaw was 2o foot ( i inches long. Eightof his teeth were broken on" and nil theothers badly worn down. His big bondwas n mass of scars , and ho had appar-ently
¬
lost the sight of his right eye.
