Bark Kathleen sunk by a whale
ABANDONING BARK KATHLEEN IN MID-OCEAN
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.
