better. The emancipation of the
grotesque Dominion and its ab

would be a Iteneht to Canadians
and also to Great Britain. Such a
couise would relieve Great 1'ritain
of the necessity of engaging in
transatlantic Fuiiabbles in which
she has 110 concern. It would,
moreover, give the Canadians en

ide! I should say so. We have
a circulation greater by two to oi

A Steamer Thrown on Her Beam
Knd.
A novel and exciting incident
occurred on the recent voyage of
the steamer litus from .Melbourne
to!Newca6tle through the vessle
striking a large whale. The Titus
returned to port from Newcastle
this morning. Chief OflicerJNichol
son, in alluding the affair, sard
that on the 8th inst. the vessel
was ten miles north of ft'ollon-
gong, w hen it happened. A south
erly gale was blowing, and, with
me aid ot squaresails, the Titus
was hustling along at a ten-knot
speed.
F.veryth:tig was come alone
merrily. Mr. Bell, the second en
gineer, and he were located aft
amusing themselves by shooting
gulls. It was altout 10 o'clock in
the morning when the steamer
suddenly bumped and canted sea
ward, lhe chief officer and en
gineer were sent sprawling on lhe'
deck. The men below rushed ui-
011 the deck to ascertain the cause
of the commotion. On looking
astern Chief Officer Nicholson
noticed the sea was crimson
with bli;xl, and it then dawned
upon them that the vessel bad hit
a sea monster.
Glancing further seaward an
unusual sight met their gaze. A
large whale was lashing the
waves in its death struggle.
It was plainly seen to leap three
times out of the water. With the
aid cf powerful glasses the finish
ing moments of the monster were
visible. The whale appeared to
have been struck just above its
pe.rtoral fin. It whirled and
lashed the sea at first with tre
mendous rapidity. Slowly its ef
forts grew feebler. There was a
brief revival of the death stroke
end the creature I hen disappeared.
