LOOK WHO'S HERE
In a recent nijrqber Qf the West
ern Stqry magazine appears the
following wierd tale, which is worth
reprinting because of its faithful
adherence fo facts. Our old frienjd
Pat Paly, the herq of the tale, has
spun many a yarn on mining mat
ters, some of which have caused
the listener to think to himself:
“Well, I dunno, maybeso, maybeso.”
But when it comes to truth and
veracity concerning occurrances
connected with natural history,
Pat ie right there. One thing the
story omits, which is a pity, and!
I
that is to tell who dug Portland I
Canal, and why. Take a deep1
breath and peruse the following:
About six years ago a mother'
whale swam into the headwaters of]
the Portland Canal, at Stewart, in j
British Columbia, This Canal con
nects some of the big mines with j
the Pacific. The mother whale, who
had her youngster with her, was
cast on the sh dlows, and the baby
whale was pinned up against the
shore. The little fellow, who weighed
* .. ■
about ninety pounds, ytfka fished
out by two Ifldiatjs. They put hipi
in 9 cask of wpter, which was tak
en to the Premier Mining Cpmp.
Here an ex-champion wrestler
named Pat Daly dropped the baby
whale into a small pond, under a
rocky ledge near the mouth of the
mine. Daly named the whaje “Kel
ly.”
Kelly thrived in his new home,
and soon had to be fed from the
cook house. After a time he grew
so’large he could not turn around.
A few weeks ago Daly declared
he was going to dig a trench and
float Kelly down to the Portland
Canal and let him escapfe to the
sea. The ex-wrestler said he could
not entertain the prospect of seeiug
Kelly shot at the hands of some
stranger
Down unon the piling, when the
full tide flows,
Seagulls knock the stuffing from
the gosh-darned crows.
But the .tory's different when the
tide goes out,
Crows then have no trouble putting
gulls to route.
