A Big White Whale. 
Men at work on the Lester Leland 
house at West Manchester, were sur- 
prised Wednesday noon just as they 
were eating lunch to see floundering 
about in the harbor, not more than 250 
feet from the shore a big white whale, 
which is supposed to be the same as 
was seen by Royal Robbins last Sat- 
-urday while sailing from Pride’s Cross- 
ing to Marblehead. The men watched 
the whale for almost half an hour, as 
it darted about, following two fisher- 
men who were hauling lobster pots 
along the shore. It seemed to be after 
bait they were throwing overboard. 
Thursday it was seen again about 200 
feet off Boardman’s Point. The whale 
is thought to be the same one seen in 
these waters several week ago.

gathered around and expecting each moment 
to be her last, Mrs. Lydia Dunn passed her 
88th birthday at the home of her son, A. B.

of whom are now living, A. B. Dunn of
