Show S; BIG.; WHALE Skipper Haskell Had Hard Pull to Escape From - Spouting: Monster. BOSTON, Not. . Spouting ' and thrashing the water with his biff tall, the monster white whale which has been sporting- oft the North Shore from Lynn to Rockport for the past two weeks gave two Beverly fishermen a chaae. Friday Capt John Haskell, who commands com-mands the steam yacht Aurora, owned by Dudley I Pickman, a Beverly summer sum-mer colonist, was out fishing when the whale came up near him. The whale spouted and acted ugly, so that Capt Haskey, experienced as he Is, began to glance shoreward and figure on the distance to the beach. . The whale began to hit up his speed, and Capt. Haskell began to bend to the oar. Hoping to stop the fish, Capt Haskell threw one of his extra oars overboard, and then bent down again. He did not watch to see whether the fish swallowed the timber or not, but pulled hard for the shallow water, and was soon out of danger. |
