Show IS TIIE swim with such rapidity as to escape from all pursuit. But when they are near together they mutually embrace each other, and are easily caught When the fishing boats glide cautiously in between their long files they close their ranks, and press against each other so much that they paralyse each other's movements; they become entangled in the tusks of those near them, or else, lifting their heads in the air, they rest their tusks on the backs of those which are in front of them. They can from that minute neither retreat, nor advance, nor light, and they fall under the blows of the sailors who are in the boats. The Icelanders manufacture with the Narwhals tusks their arrows for the chase, and the poles which they use in the construction of their huts; but they do not eat its flesh, because they believe it to be venomous. The name this animal bears was given it by the Icelanders. The meaning of the word is Whale that feeds on dead bodies, for the word nar in their language means dead body or carcass, and the word whal, whale. This is not the case, however, with the Greenlanders, and other inhabitants of the North, who esteem it excellent. They dry it by exposing it to smoke. The oil fur-nished by the Narwhal is, it is said, preferable to that of the whale. Naturalists are not agreed as to the use of the Narwhals formidable weapon. They say that they nse it in their attache on the whale, and that they kill this monster by running their swords into its belly. Lacepede says that their tusks have been found deeply implanted in the bodies of whales; but other authors formally deny that battles ever take place between these two terrible combatants.

Clothing with love my lonely heart, Healing with peace each bruised part. Till all my being seems to be Transfigured by their purity. The Narwhal or Hea t'olcorn. Narwhals differ very little front porpoises in their general form and the color of their bodies; but at the first glance they are easily to be distinguished from all other Cetaceans by the singular tusk with which nature has provided them. Of the two Incisive teeth Implanted in the upper jaw of the Narwhal, one is almost entirely aborted, whilst the other is prodigiously elongated in a straight line, and la imply an enormous stiletto, which Is rounded with a spiral fluting, a sharp point at the extremity, and which is of or half the length of the animal. This strange creature has then but one tooth and what a tooth! It is, in fact, a sword of Ivory. In the Museum of Natural History at Amsterdam and other collections, there is a Narwhal skull with two fully developed tusks. There have been, both among the ancients and the moderns, many stories about the Narwhals tooth. It was formerly considered to be like the horn of the Unicorn, which was situated on the middle of the forehead. This fabulous being resembled, they said, the horse and the stag. , Aristotle and Pliny have rd described it, and It is represented on many nnclent monuments. It was adopted by the chivalry of the middle ages, and has . often decorated the trophies In military fetes. Our ancestors attributed to the tooth of the Narwhal, which they called the tooth of the Unicorn, marvelous medicinal virtues. They considered it an Infallible antidote to all poisonous substances; they were persuaded that It counteracted all the hurtful properties of venomous substances. Charles IX., dreading least he should be poisoned, was very careful to put into his cup of wine a piece of the Sea Unicorn's tooth. Ambrolse Pare was the first who dared to lift up his voice against such errors. Very soou after the Unicorn ceased to be an object sought after on account of its rarity and its supposed virtues. It then passed from the apothecarys laboratory to the naturalist's collection, where it was long preserved under the name of horn or tusk of the Unicorn. The true nature of this horn was shown for the first time by a naturalist of the Renaissance, one Wormius, who had found it affixed in its socket in a skull similar to that of a whale. Ilul it was not until 1671 that Frederick Martens gave a tolerably correct description of the Narwhal. These Narwhals live in the neighborhood of Iceland, and in the seas which wash the shores of Greenland. They gather together in the creeks of the ice Islands, and travel in bonds.

Wylie thought it best to send her to Port Royal for examination. The captain, not in the least dismayed, swore so positively as to the truth of his ships papers, which he produced, that the Admiralty court was at length persuaded to set him free, whereupon he immediately began an action for demurrage against Captain Wylie for having taken him. About this time Lieutenant Fitton, of the navy (who was then a midshipman in command of a small tender), arriving at Port Royal, went on board the Sparrow to pay a visit to Wylie. He found the captain in very low spirits over the pending suit, and greatly depressed at the idea of the ruinous damages that it seemed certain would he awarded against him on account of the "Neutral. Fitton, however, on of the captain of name the learning the brig, advised Wylie not to worry, and stated that he could prove that the brig was yet a good prize. He then went on to explain that while cruising in his tender near the place where the Sparrow had overhauled the brig, and very shortly after that time his sailors had caught a large shark. He was very much surprised on hearing one of the men employed in cutting the fish open cry out: Stand by for your letters, my boys, for here's the postman come on board! at the Bame moment handing out a bundle of papers from the shark's stomach. They were only slightly damaged by the gastric juices of the fish, and Fitton kept them. Upon examination he discovered that they were the real papers of the American, which he had thrown overboard when he became hard pressed, and which had been promptly swallowed by the shark. The papers proved beyond question that the cargo was French. The two officers went immediately to Kingston with this new and most Important evidence; but no further investigation of the matter was necessary, for the captain of the brig was so overwhelmed upon hearing the circumstances which he regarded as a visitation from heaven for his perjuries, that he hurriedly escaped from the island, and the vessel, after all, was condemned to the Sparrow.
