Singular Sea Fight

On board the Peacock they witnessed a sea' fighl between a whale and one of its manyeoemies. The sea was quite smooth, and ofTered the best possible view of the whole com'bat. First, at a distance from the ship, a whale was seo floundering in a most extraordinary way, lashing the smooth sea into a perfect foam, and endeavoring apparënlly, to extricate himself from some aunoyance. Ás he npproached the ship, theslruggling continuingand becoming more violent, it was perceived thnt a fish, appa'rèntly about twenty feet long, held him by the jaw, his contortions, spouting, and throes, all betokening the agony of the huge monster. The whale now threw himselfat full lenglh from the water, with open mouth, his pursuer still hanging to tho jaw, the blood issuing from the wound and dyeingthe sea to a distance around; but all his floundering were of no avail ; tis pertinacious enemy still maintained is hold, and was evidently getting the dvantageof him. Much alarm seemed o be feit by the many other whales rottDd. These 'killers,' as they are 'j nlled, are of a brownish color on the back, and white on the belly, with a long orsal fin. Such was the turbulenco with vhich they passed, that a good view could not be had of them to make out more nearly the description. The fish attack a whale in the same way as dogs bait a buil, and worrv himtodeath. They arearmed with strongshürp teeth and generally seizQ the whnle by the lower jaw. lt is said that the only part of them they eat in the tongue. The whalers give some marvelous account of killers, ond of their immense strength ; among them ihat they have be?n known to drag a whale nway from several boats which wcre towing 'ü to the ship.
