BARK KATHLEEN

Rammed and Sunk by an Infuriated Bull Whale.

(New York Journal.)

The most thrilling episode ever known in the history of the
American Whale Fisheries has just occurred.

It is full of the mystery and thrill and terror of the deep sea. It
is even more wonderful than any of the stories told by Mr. Frank T.
Bullen, author of the famous "Cruise of the Cachalot."
