THE WHALER SPLENDID. (Chriatchurch Press.)

The whalln? barque Splendid, belonging to Dunedin, arrived here unexpeeted'y yesterday from the Chatham Islands. Captain Earle reports thit he left Dunedin 10 months a?o on a cruise for whales. He went to tha Chatharas, and thence down to tha Tonga Group in the South Sea Islands, and met with some luok OS Apia. He left Apia oa September Bth, and arrived at the Chatham! on October Ist. The season there commences In Kovcinber. On November 2gth the fjret whales were aeon at the grounds. The SplendH had lust taken a e»tch, when the arm of the windlass used lor drawing up the fish broke. This misfortune Captain Earle determined to meet as expeditiously ai possible, and at once he mads sail for New Zealand. The winda he met with were used to the best adrantoge by coming Into this port. He has got 74 tuns of oil on board, H tuns of which ia sperm oil. Four sperm whales and six humpbacked fl-tii ware taken to produce this quantity. He also /ell upon a pieco of ambergris, writhing about •491b, mid which 1b valued by him at £3000. It was extracted from tha intestines of a spermaceti whale, fcod Its great value arises Uora the fact that the demand for it by perfumery manufaoturora so vaatly exc**ds the supply. The Splendid will remain here pro. bably a day or two before the casting for ber windlass ■can be finished, and soma needed repairs done to ■hoi pumwa. Captain Earle's crew consists! of about ■U Europeans and 20 Fijian?. • Excellent health boa been enjoyed'by everybody on board during her 10 Months' absence from New Zealand, and no accidents ■'Eva occurred to the crew. 'J ho accident to the wind•lasawas very unlucky, coming, as it has, Just at the opening of the season, but all haste will be made to get the vessel away, and it is to be wished by the end Of March, the close of tho season, her owners will liava han<Jebme dividends to draw aa the result ol her pruise.
