Tho facte, ap they occurred, were noted In the joiiriiul-or log soon alter they trans¬ pired: On tho llili day or December, 1837, the p>od ship Croesus, of Newburgh,'Captain PcrklnB, was cruising somewhere between' the latitude of 80 and-87.8 and longitude ot 00cast, In senrch of light ntwlc It «a»1n In the forenoon ajid the old ship was muv. lug along undor the topgallant Balls with a light bree/e at the ruto of nbput live k'nots llic hour. The mom hardened giumhler could not find fault with the day. At the lore and uitilli topgallant crosMrces were two men on the lookout forwhulcs. ft, was now nearly four o'clock In the after¬ noon when the man in the main sung .out, •There she blows!" He lepealed tho cry regularly Iheoi six times. All was now excitement among the officers and men. Every one was anxious lo know If It was the kind of whale that was wanted The mate hulled the man at the must head -j^Where nwav is that whale V What do you cnll her?" "Bight whale, sir, on the lea beam, two miles oil. Look out slim ply (oi her." "bi'ig out when the ship heads lor her." "Aye,aye, bir." " - "Keep her away," said the captain to the man at tho helm. "Boy, hand me the spy glms." . "Steady!" sung out the man at the mast head ■'Steady It is," answered the niaij at the wheel - The captain started to«o alolt. "Mr. A," to tho mate, "vou nifty square in the after yards and then call all hands." "forward, there!" shouted the unite. 'Haul the mainsail up and square the yards I Bill!" t» an old sailor— "Sir?" "Call all hands." "Aye, aye, Sir. All hands ahoy," shouted old Bill, in u volte like the tempest, "stand by the boats." In less than no lime the deck was alive with meif. "Bual steerers getyoui boats icady " In a moment the boats were in icadlncKS, the tubs put in and the Hues bent on the liarpuons, the crew standing by ready to ful low the boat. Down went the boats and down followed the crow, down to the water when the woid came from the captain to lower away. "There she blows," Ming nut the man at Hie foicf-^uot halt a mile oil." "Down helm!" shoutod the captain. "Mi. A. brace the uiiz/en topsail!

We were, going on to hoi stai- ""iu d quarterpjust tho chance I liked to last- en to a whale. "Stand up,"shouted the mate, and in a molnont I had two harpoons to the hitches Into her.

I heard a eriiBh, and im I went down I felt a proasiuo of wntor over my head, caused, as I then tHoi.ght.by the whale's flukes as she struck. How long I wns under water I know not, but I remember that all looked daik above me and In led veiy hard to shove my head through, In order to breathe.

The crew came up, one aftei another, catch lug at aiiyihing they could see to keep them afloat.
