• THOMAS HENRY HALL CAINE (1853— )

CAINE (1853— )  , British novelist and dramatist, was born of mixed Manx and Cumberland parentage at Runcorn, Cheshire, on the 14th of May 1853 . He was educated with a view to becoming an architect, but turned to journalism, becoming a leader-writer on the Liverpool Mercury . He came up to London at the suggestion of D . G . Rossetti, with whom he had had some correspondence, and lived with the poet for some time before his death . He published a volume of Recollections of Rossetti (1882), and also some critical work; but in 1885 he began an extremely successful career as a novelist of a melodramatic type with The Shadow of a Crime, followed by The Son of Hagar (1886)., The Deemster (1887), The Bondman (1890), The Scapegoat (1891), The Manxman (1894), The Christian (1897), The Eternal City (1901), and The Prodigal Son (1904) . His writings on Manx subjects were acknowledged by his election in 1901 to represent Ramsey in the House of Keys . The Deemster, The Manxman and The Christian had already been produced in dramatic form, when The Eternal City was staged with magnificent accessories by Mr Beerbohm Tree in 1902, and in 1905 The Prodigal Son had a successful run at Drury Lane . See C . F . Kenyon, Hall Caine; The Man and the Novelist (1901) ; and the novelist's autobiography, My Story (1908) . CA'ING WHALE (Globicephalus melas), a large representative of the dolphin tribe frequenting the coasts of Europe, the Atlantic coast of North America, the Cape and New Zealand .

From its nearly

uniform black colour it is also called the " black-fish." Its maximum length is about 20 ft . These cetaceans are gregarious and inoffensive in disposition and feed chiefly on cuttle-fish . Their sociable character constantly leads to their destruction, as when attacked they instinctively rush together, and blindly follow the leaders of the herd, whence the names pilot-whale and ca'ing (or driving) whale . Many hundreds at a time are thus frequently driven ashore and killed, when a herd enters one of the bays or fiords of the Faeroe Islands or north of Scotland . The ca'ing whale of the North Pacific has been distinguished as G. scammoni, while one from the Atlantic coast, south of New Jersey, and another from the bay of Bengal, are possibly also distinct .
