With a harpoon deep in his side he turned and deliberately ran over and sunk the boat that was fast to him then with equal deliberation sent a second boat to the bottom.This point is determined partly by the revolucion industrial francesa lines of the whale's vision, partly by his methods of defense.Each boat carried five oarsmen, who wielded oars of from nine to sixteen feet in length, while the mate steers with a prodigious oar ten feet long.In 1775 revolucion industrial francesa Nantucket alone had had 150 vessels, aggregating 15,000 tons, afloat in pursuit of the whale.The velocity of the whale at its first descent is from thirteen to fifteen feet per second.Of course the home revolucion industrial francesa conditions created by this almost universal masculine employment were curious.There she blows! B l o o o ws! Blo o ows! cries the lookout at this spectacle.The line was cut at that revolucion industrial francesa moment, but without avail.Each had his lay that is to say, his proportionate share of the proceeds of the catch.His tail, though less elastic than that of the right whale, can deal a prodigious up and down revolucion industrial francesa blow, while his gigantic jaws, well garnished with sharp teeth, and capacious gullet, that readily could gulp down a man, are his chief terrors.When his shipmates perceived him struggling with the waves, they redoubled their exertions.The old time whalers, leading lives of continual romance and adventure, found their calling so commonplace that they noted shipwrecks, mutinies, and disaster in the struggles of the whale baldly in their logbooks, without attempt at revolucion industrial francesa graphic description.The Envoy, of New Bedford, after being condemned as unseaworthy, was fitted out in 1847 at a cost of $8000, and sent out on a final cruise.
