Experiences with whales that wei fond of peanuts and bananas, a te , rific sand storm in the Red sea, a pe of grasshoppers and a Somali be stowaway werea few only of the mar ' things that helped to break the nv notony of the long voyage of tt Karema. a British steamship now i ' port here from Yokohoma. The K; rema has made 22 voyages betwet New York and the Far East, bi never one to equal that which ws 1 completed yesterday. Her log reae like an Arabian Nights tale. Leaving Yokohoma. the Karen ? put into Moji, Manila, Iloilo, Ceb Singapore, Port Said and Algiers, co lecting a miscellaneous cargo of Fj ; Eastern products which includt everything from a crate of Chines { josses to a live elephant. The voyage was comparatively ui eventful until the Karema approacl ed Aden, at the entrance of the Re sea. When 12 hours out from thi port the sky was suddenly darkene by millions of huge grasshoppe t which had been blown out to se ) from the Arabian coast. Capt. Beare had often seen gras hoppers in countless thousands whi > passing through the Red sea on pr vious voyages, but never in anythii I like the quantity entountered on h I latest trip. The water was covere with them as far as the eye cou reach, and they fell on the decks i the Karema in such numbers that tl crew had to be called from quarte: to shovel them over the side. The Somali boy stowed away i ' Perlm, a small coaling station in tl Red sea about 90 miles South < > Aden. He was not found until tv j s-?i v.; ' ua> 5 ja.iei, wucu a. mhui puucu m out of a lifeboat. He was clothed j f a single piece of cheesecloth, woi : as a breech cloth, and was imbue with a determination to see the wor: The boy was put ashore at Po . Tewfik and shipped back to Perim. Fogs which endanger steamsh: traffic on the North Atlantic lane ai as nothing compared with the sam , storm which descended upon the Ki rema when 6he was passing throue a particular dangerous spot in tt Red Sea. So thick was the sand, sa: ' Capt. Beare, that it was impossib 1 to see for more than 10 feet ahead. Blown by a stiff gale, the sand pen 1 trated every part of the vessel, threa L ening to put the machinery out < commission. It was impossible 1 make headway under the condition , Capt. Beare ordered the ancho: (" down. ' When they had found a flri ' grip, all hands repaired below, whei an uncomfortable three hours wj 1 spent in stifling heat until the ston L passed over. Everybody began to settle down 1 i a quiet life after the canal had bee no seed Savp fnr a w&tersDOUt in tl Mediterranean off Algiers there wj . nothing of more than casual intere: ! until the Karema was within 3C miles of Sandy Hook, when a schoi of 14 whales was sighted. The whales were all sizes. Seven were nearly 30 feet in length. Th? disported themselves around the bo of the Karema for three hours, divin underneath and cutting up all sor of capers for the benefit of the cre^ Charles Emerson Pask, the bo's'n mate, is authority for the statemei that the whales actually fougl among themselves over division of quantity of peanuts which wei > thrown overboard. Whales are vei fond of peanuts, according to tl veracious Pask, and if there is an; thing that will start a fight it is or peanut, which must be divided amor ; them. Bananas, too, are considere i great delicacies by whales, said Pasl Three bunches of green fruit wei a*? ? s J ? - a xi T.", tnrown over me siae ui mo ivi i rema and now, said Pask, evei whale among the 14, must be suffe , ing from acute pains in the ston , ach, because they devoured evei . banana.?New York Herald. 1 Defining a Phenomenon.
