A very large whale was attacked by two swordflsh, and the combat, which lasted for two hours, created a - tremendous commotion- In the eea, which was lashed into foam in the vicinity of the struggle. It attracted-the notice of a passing steamer, which came clobc in to ascertain the cause ol the unusual disturbance; After the %ht had lasted for a con'sidorablo time the two swordflsh wore observed to dart into the air, and come down, plung ng their swords into the whale. After this the whale's epoutingi became feebler, and'it soon succumbed. Alirge number of pcrscms have gone out in boats to secure . the monster. • .■•.■..-■'
