Referring to the cruise of the whaling barque Splendid, which arrived at Port Chalmers on the 23rd inat with fifty-five tons sperm oil, as the result of a three-months'cruise,the O.D Times has the following: The Splendid left Port Chalmers on Nov, 6. Experienced fresh westerly and south-west winds, and made the Chatham Islands on the 15th. Cruised to the northward and eastward of the Chathams, and sighted the first whale on the 10th November. Two days afterwards she lowered her boats, gave chase, and took a 65-barrel fish. After cruising about for another week she captured another whale on the 24th, which yielded 75barrels; and on December 6th caught her 4hird Ush, making from it another 109 barrels of oil.

On the 9th she chased and took the fourth whale; which averaged 60 barrels ; and on January 2nd killed a 100-barrel fish-; thence she cruised about for nine days, and on. the 11th January she was rewarded by the sixth whale, which gave 80 barrels. Twenty days elapsed before she succeeded in capturing the seventh whale, which gave 80 barrels. This fish was taken umler circumstances of no alight danger and excitement, for as the boat pulled up alongside him for the purpose of allowing the officer in charge to throw a bomb lance at him. he dived under water, and on comingup again caught the boat's quarter in his jaws, crushing it up like paper, and taking the after oarsman—Lewis Hunter—under water, keeping him down i©r fully a minute and a half. The poor fellow, who is unable to swim, came up again, and commenced paddling about with his hands, which attracted the attention of the other boats crews, who at once rescued him. Ho was taken on board, and on being examined was found to be severely bruised from the left shoulder to the right hip. the prints of the whale’s teeth being plainly discerned. Wo are glad to hear that the poor fellow has quite recovered his sever© treatment. The jaw of the monster, measuring over 17ft In length, has been preserved, and as a proof of its combativeness there are some live teeth on one side and two on the other destroyed. The last fish was sighted on February rih, and afler a long chase killed. Unfortunately, however, on getting alongside the ship, the whale (estimated at ten tuns) fouled her and parted.
