WHALE WORTH A FORTUNE
it
Carried a Chunk of Ambergris
That Sold for About $100,000.
Pacific Commercial Advertiser.
More than 5100,000 is what Captain
James Earle, a New Bedford whaler now
x'lsltlng In Honolulu, realized in 1SS3 from
one sperm whale. In fact, the whale was
one of the most valuable ever caught In
any ocean. It was not the 90 barrels
of oil which gaV,e the leviathan Its ex
traordinary value, for that was sold for
something lie 54000. but within the
whale's vast interior tnere was found a
solid piece of ambergris weighing 780
pounds. This was the largest single piece
of ambergris ever found according to tho
records, and that It came from one lone
whale made tho rich discovery the more
Interesting to the scientific world.
This 7S0-pound piece of ambergris was
sold In chunks In all markets of the world
for about 25.000 sterling, and It laid the
foundation of wealth for almost every
man Interested In the whaling expedi
tion, which originated In New Zealand.
Captain Earle came here In 1867 on tho
whaling ship Europa as a 'cabin boy, his
father then being the first mate. He
later went to New Zealand to Join the
whaler Splendid, which he fitted out. ob
taining thereby a bounty of $10,000 offered
by the New Zealand Government for the
first whaler fitted out for service. Ho
went as second mate and rose by promo
tion until he, became master and part
owner. It was In October, 1SS2, that the
Splendid while cruising about the Chat
ham Islands east of New Zealand came
upon the sperm whalo which was the
biggest bonanza of the sea on record.
Ninety barrels of oil were taken from It
and while delving Into the qarcass the
huge piece of ambsrgVIs was. found.
Ambergris is a concretion formed only
In the intestines of the sperm whale and
Is sometimes found floating on the sur
face of the 6ea like pumlco stone, near
where this animal cruises. In It are often
found Imbedded the horny beaks of the
squids upon which the whalo feeds. It
was formerly used In medicine, but is
now dissolved In -alcohol and used as a
base in perfumes, rendering them more
lasting. It affords about S3 per cent of
a peculiar fatty and crystalline substance
called, ambreln.
Thcvoyage4Cthe Splendid In that season
was a fortunate one In every respect, for
she came Into Littleton port. New Zea
land, with the big piece of ambergris
worth Its weight In gold and H00 barrels
of sperm oil.
"When we arrived In port." said Cap
tain Earle. "I telegraphed to the agent
of the Otago Whaling Company to come
l. up. xie came ana ine amDergrjs was iu.-
en ashore. loaded into a car, which was
locked and the key stowed away In the
agent's pocket, and he stood- guard there,
too. until the stuff was safely placed. The
first year that I had brought any am
bergris Into port we got 25 a pound for
21 pounds, but when this big piece came
In the nows so astonished everybody that
cablegrams were sent all over the world,
and the result was that the price dropped.
Some went to London, but as for my
own share. I took It In bulk and carried
It home with me. I wasn't in a hurry
announcement of the
for men as well as for boys
to sell It, but thought by waiting the
market for it would rise. I got $18 an
ounce for the gray and $8 for the black,
while In London It had only brought 312

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful it Is
In Preserving- Health, and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
is the safest and most efficient disinfect
ant and purifier in nature, but few real
ize Its value when taken into the human
system for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal Is a remedy that the more you
take of it the better; It Is nqt a drug at
all. but simply absorbs the gases and Im
purities always present In the stomach
and Intestines and carries them out of
the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking, or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and im
proves the complexion, It whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
It absorbs the injurious gases which
collect In the stomach and bowels; It dis
infects the mouth and throat from the
poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another, but probably the best char
coal and the most for the money Is in
Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges; they are
composed of the finest powdered Willow
charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics
in tablet form or rather In the form ot
large, pleasant tasting lozenges, tha
charcoal being mixed with honey.

soon tell in a much Improved condition
of the general health, better complexion,
sweetjer breath and purer blood, and tha
beauty of It is. that no possible harm can
result from their continued use, but on
the contrary, great benefit
A Buffalo physician in speaking of the
benefits of charcoal, says: "I advise
Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to all pa
tients suffering from gas in 3tomach and
bowels, and to clear the complexion and
purify the breath, mouth and throat; I
also believe the liver Is greatly benefited
by the daily use of them; they cost but
twenty-five cents a box at drug stores,
and although In some sense a patent
preparation, yet I believe I get more and
better charcoal In Stuart's Absorbent
Lozenges than In any of the ordinary
charcoal tablets."
