The whale fishery off the northern coast of Norway is carried an by two steamers, provided with grins, out of which is shot a harpoon, with an explosive shell attached to the end. This shell 1b so constructed that it does not burst on striking the whale, but only when the whale draws out the rope which is fastened to it and also a windlass on board the steamer. Four arms then spring out into the whale from one side of the harpoon, and at the same moment a screw is driven into the shell and causes it to burst. This generally kills the whale at once, although, if not struck in a vital part, it sometimes tows the steamer for hours before it becomes exhausted. “I sympathize sincerely with your grief,” said a French lady to a recently widowed friend. “To lose such a husband as yours—” “Ah, yes, he was very good; and then, you see, such a misfortune is always great, for one knows what kind of a husband she has lost, but cannot tell what kind of a man one will find to succeed him.”
