Pacific Sea Products Company, has*
been recorded this season, accord
ing to members of the crew' of the
whaler Moran, which was in port
some days ago. At the time the ves

been caught and before the present
season closes it was expected the
grand total would run up to 500.
Better Than Whale a Day
The whaler Moran, captained by
Skipper Aaset; George Kingsbury,

forced to depart for Seattle, at the
present time, owing to engine trou
ble. She will enter drydock upon
arriving in Puget Sound.
Season Ends Oct. 25.
Whaling, which began May 1, will
come to a close the latter part of
this month. The crew at the Akutan
station, numbering about 95, will ar
rive in Seward on the Southbound
trip of the steamer Alameda, proba
bly about October 15, it is stated.
The Akutan plant is reputed as be
ing the largest in the world. The
company owns 18 whaling vessels,
six of them having been engaged at
the Akutan station this year.
Coming Here for Oil.
The other five whalers, now to
the Westward, will call at this port
for oil, en route to Seattle. The
names of these vessels and the num
ber of whales caught per boat are
given as follows: Kodiak and Unimak
have caught 100 whales between them
thus far; Patterson, 90; Aberdeen,
35; Tananek, 70. The Moran, as
was previously stated, caught 40
whales. The Aberdeen and Moran
both called at the port of Seward
two months ago, while on their way
from the Aberdeen station to Akutan.
Thousand Barrels Oil.
Up to the first of September, over
14,000 barrels of whale oil, besides
an enormous quantity of fertilizer,
had put up and shipped to the States
from the Akutan plant. The fertili
zer is shipped in sacks. No am
begris has been found to date to the
Westward.
Gunner Peterson, who figured in
the news columns a couple last June
when he his arm was broken while
firing a harpooning gun, is back on
the job.
Catch Tremendous Sized Whale
The largest whale caught this sea
son measured 86 feet, it was stated.
The Worlds’ record for whales caught
is 98 feet and six inches. And this
record beater was caught in Alaska
waters a few years ago. The rec
ord whale of this season weighed in,
close to 100 tons, and great excite
ment was manifested before he was
safely landed. It is reported this
large denizen of the deep must have
been equipped with about 2000 h.p.
engines for he straightened out 40
fathoms of heavy hauser, besides tow
ing the whaler at a speed approxi
mated at five knots an hour.
Sperm Changes His Diet
One of the peculiarities associated
with the sperm whale, is that twice
each month, with the change of the
moon, he switches his diet. His fa
vorite food is devil fish, squids,
sharks and halibut. Owing to the
fact the sperm whale is the only
whale possessing a set of ivories, it
is an easy matter for him to gorge
himself on the above named delica
I cies. The finback whale has no teeth
and lives off small fish.
The big feeding grounds for the
sperm and finback, especially for
the sperm whale, is off the coast of
Africa. The end of this month will
see practically all of the whales head
for the long sea voyage to the Af
rican waters, and like the ducks,
head back for the cool Alaskan wa
ters in spring.

One fireman who had been Gassed
During Great War Recalled

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.—Naked fire
men adopted war tactics today in ex
tinguishing a $30,000 blaze which fol
lowed an explosion of “Phosgene gas”
and other chemicals, at the college
of the City of New York. Four fire
men and two chemistry students
were badly burned.
The gas routed a laboratory class,
members of which turned in a fire
alarm. Firemen who entered the
building were driven out by the
flames.
One fireman who had been in gas
attacks during the Great War recall
ed the thing to do was to shed one’s
clothing. Others followed his exam
ple. Soon the firemen, entirely nude
were passing in and out of the build
ing in relays, carrying on the work
of getting the fire unde;* coutrol.
As each shift came out hosemen
would wash off the burning acid from
the bodies of the firemen. The blaze
was soon extinguished.

QUESTIONS OF
ALICE DOOLEY
MEDIUM GIVEN QUESTIONS SHE
FAILS TO ANSWER— S10.000
OFFERED
PITTSBURG, Sept. 19. (^—Rever
end Dr. Alice S. Dooley, pastor of the
Pittsburg Church of Divine Healing,
failed last night on a theatre stage to
answer three questions given her in
a sealed envelope, by Harri Houdini,
magician.
She accepted Houdini’s challenge to
prove herself a medium and tried to
answer two of them, the first of which
was, “What was the name of the first
chief of police of Pittsburg, whom I
met in Europe?”
The answer to this question was—
“Not quite clear, but possibly March
30, 1864.”
“Who taught me my East Indian
tricks,” was the second question asked
her.
“Is it possible?” was the answer
she gave.
Alice said she sought to prove,
“there are honest mediums.”
Houdini offers ten thousand dollars
to any medium who meets his test
and answers his questions.
Prizes offered by others bring the
total offered up to thirty thousand five
hundred dollars.
