He wrote and asked if they were short a car and the answer was ;hat the machine had been placed at :he disposal of a man connected with :he company who was preparing to imbark upon the sea of "matrimony." Naturally many theories were advanced as to why the car remained for a week on this spot. Vague suggestions of complicated circumstances connected with automobile stealing md joy riding were made of those 'amiliar with tbe circumstance. All of these questions, however, were out to rout when the disclosure of ;he circumstances surrounding the 'mystery" was made.

Shoved Into Water at Eastern End of the Isle of Palms. Charleston. Jan. 11.?Off the point at the eastern end of the Isle of Palms Sunday afternoon, a group of Charleston men liberated a stranded whale after considerable difficulty. ? * * .1 i i _ -1_ rz _ x rne wnaie, 01 me DiacK nsu variety, ,i was stranded on the beach and its fins were bleeding from its own desperate efforts to get free. It had evidently been cast up at high water and at the time its liberation appeared it was well up on the beach. It appeared that the whale, which was somewhat more than sixteen feet in length, was cast up Friday night, Mr. Portwig believed that it was dead and curiosity caused it to be freed from its plight. By means of a stout plank, the whale was shoved into deeper water. It took the concerted efforts of the men to budge the creature. Once in water deep enough to float it the whale began to swim about in a circular fashion, apparently being unable to control its direction. Unable to head the whale out to sea, the party stopped for luncheon. Later, the whale having become stranded again, the party considered the feasibility of killing it and towing its body to Charleston. A gaff was shoved into its side and as it felt the prick of the gaff the whale made a desperate plunge into deeper water and has not been seen since. Safe.
