from the side of5
with such violence that5
a lump of ice5

the light of a5
lower away the boats5
up out of the5

there is no doubt5
the first time i5
that they could not5
men in the ship5
one of our boats5
and it was as5
with the speed of5
i could not have5
during the day i5
the perspiration from his5
i shall never forget5
on the ice and5
did not want to5
the state of the5
as if there was5

this part of the5
from the bottom of5
the water all round5
to say nothing of5

was looking over the5
bow of the boat5
is no doubt that5
in less than half5
the storm burst upon5

we made our way5
to the scene of5
the size of whales5
but in a few5
the loss of the5
for a chance to5

for the time being5
that they would have5
what do you think5
the men sprang to5
they would have been5
it was a great5

out of the question5

to add to their5

twenty yards from the5

a great number of5
for more than a5
faces of the men5
around the bollard head5
ice to the north5
during the remainder of5
later in the day5
there was a general5
and by the time5
were in the water5
i had time to5
did not appear to5
at the sight of5
fast to a fish5
into a state of5
the captain told me5
and a great deal5
back to the brig5
we returned on board5
a small piece of5
depths of the sea5
the heads of the5
the west of us5
in regard to the5
in all my life5
get out of it5
run the risk of5
in the bottom of5
it must not be5
and we pulled away5
that is to say5
and many of the5
to within a few5
had the effect of5
into the depths of5
that some of the5
there was no help5
within a few feet5
that he saw a5
sight of the whale5
it was a very5
the ship in a5
the face of the5
at any other time5
board the red eric5
more than a mile5
we had yet seen5
enable the men to5
such a rate that5
said this in a5
into the middle of5
to go on the5
by the time the5
a good look at5
in consequence of this5
it would be difficult5
as the eye could5
a squint at the5
i have often seen5
to enable them to5
in a hoarse whisper5
every one on board5
it was a good5
as i was going5
as soon as possible5
air of a man5
one side of the5
we had not seen5
we were compelled to5
anything to do with5
we came to a5
a plug of tobacco5
by the second mate5
member of the crew5
the sound of the5
that the crew of5
of the fact that5
out of the boat5
i should like to5
what was to be5
that they did not5
a few feet of5
can you tell me5
with my own two5
quite close to the5
it had not been5
they had to be5
than we had expected5
an hour or so5
that would have made5
away in the hold5
and as it was5
the captain came up5
the door of the5
at the last word5
had been engaged in5
we found that the5
on the sea in5
a sheet of glass5
that i do not5
in half an hour5
paid no attention to5
and we had a5
into the air with5
the middle of a5
and the first mate5
in the opposite direction5
had made up his5
the ship to the5
nearly all of them5
we were about to5
sure that it was5
and there was a5
up to this time5
the men in a5
on one of the5
a small portion of5
one on each side5
that there were no5
while the men were5
the time we were5
it was but a5
more than sixty feet5
a word to say5
and we knew that5
to enable the men5
feet into the air5
to the conclusion that5
all the other ships5
it became necessary to5
the ice to the5
stowed away in the5
almost at the same5
and a lot of5
a cup of tea5
my first voyage to5
the whole of that5
the tops of the5
in a voice of5
a hole in the5
it is well known5
i do believe that5
to get near enough5
the whale we were5
at right angles to5
a few feet below5
trying out the oil5
looked as if he5
than half an hour5
he was a man5
was no help for5
surface of the water5
in the usual way5
the balance of the5
i have no doubt5
and crew of the5
so that we had5
with the lady alice5
in the habit of5
as the whale was5
for some time after5
for he was a5
that it seemed as5
rest of the voyage5
at a rate that5
so long as he5

not have been less5
a few days before5

a few minutes he5
far as the eye5
by the crew of5

my own two eyes5
the manner in which5
had no difficulty in5
before i had time5
under the shelter of5
to be in the5
man at the helm5
over the side of5
the starboard side of5
that he would have5
the shelter of the5
as it is called5
mouth of the river5
a drop of water5
hundred barrels of oil5
more than a hundred5

on board the red5
every part of the4

the nose like his4
of the south sea4
so close to the4
seemed to think that4
nine hundred and ninety4

it would not have4
attached to the whale4
and as we had4
of the men had4
there were plenty of4
in hand over hand4
tim rokens and phil4
not more than three4
our way to the4
was a sort of4
of the polar seas4
the midst of that4
just as the whale4
we had a good4
of an inch thick4
all at once he4
some of us would4
was of no use4
the result of the4
two hundred and fifty4
as i have said4

wonderful sight have i4
the boats were away4
the roar of the4
so small that it4
far out of the4

by the hand and4
but in a short4

for some time in4
a few hours after4
it was found that4

the th of december4

at the wheel and4
the nova zembla and4
a few years before4
seemed to be in4

we managed to get4
slowly through the water4
tom lokins and i4
that we were able4
the spot on which4
that it was difficult4
that something was wrong4
towed by the whale4

joining in the laugh4
up the rigging like4

year with a whaler4
the bosom of the4
mother looked at tom4
all parts of the4

we were now in4
i thought of the4
in a boat with4
that we were to4
to try out the4

and that he had4
hour and a half4
as he had been4
held on to the4
from that time forward4
they were compelled to4
that she was the4

and i could not4
right before the wind4
about the same time4
down into the deep4

three or four of4

as the boat came4

out of the ordinary4

a bit of it4
one of the harpooners4
was not the case4
members of the crew4
was no chance of4
such a manner that4
red eric had been4
in the water and4
with a broad grin4
of the water in4
two and a half4
must get that whale4
the topsails were lowered4
try out the oil4
he was able to4
and every one was4
and some of them4
part of it was4
most of the day4
tearing over the sea4
me by the collar4
this was the largest4
it was very cold4
sent to the bottom4
the ship was in4
the east of us4
as well as i4
but it was a4
with a good deal4
sight have i seen4
the other boats were4
pipe from his mouth4
he was wont to4
as the captain had4
i was a boy4
the keel of the4

more than enough of4
a visit to the4

to return to the4

for the safety of4

the evening of the4
it was as much4
we did not kill4
the truth of this4
as he spoke the4
at last it was4
was as much as4
barometer is a glass4
out of his own4
knocking the ashes out4
up on end to4

to fall in with4
the head of a4
than i had ever4
on the lookout for4

of a short time4
in order that the4

of a sudden the4
we were tearing over4

out over the bow4

out upon the ice4
came to an abrupt4
starboard side of the4
and the men lay4
without uttering a word4
were out of sight4
violence of the gale4
to make a long4
way in which i4
as fast as they4
a few minutes more4
it was with difficulty4
was in a fever4
as we drew near4
of the greenland seas4
the midst of it4
the emperor of roosia4
the bowels of the4
portion of the crew4
i never saw a4
the first of these4
the second mate was4
when i thought of4
many of them were4
i do not think4
the ashes out of4
in the bow with4
a shower of spray4
to the surface again4
the fish was a4
forward and leaned over4
let go the anchor4
who had been in4
i can tell ye4
of the head was4
it was only a4
and many of them4
ailie in his arms4
quarter of an inch4
as much as to4
we did not know4
in the face of4
of the top of4

it was with a4
that the fish was4

a wonderful sight have4
it was a big4
i had my first4
it was almost impossible4
but we were not4
to go to the4
i could scarcely believe4
the manner of the4
and before we could4
the arctic ocean whaling4
had been accustomed to4
and two or three4
make the best of4
the sea with his4
had nothing to say4
a long time to4
there was no escape4
more than a year4
as well as a4
side of the try4
i would like to4
sat down on a4
as soon as i4
bow of the ship4
sitting down on a4
with the nose like4
not more than fifty4
was seated on the4
side of the whale4
to say that the4
my mother looked at4
the first time in4
while i was looking4
i went to the4
of the whaling fleet4
he caught sight of4
seven or eight hundred4
of the water on4
the second mate had4
into the air and4
to come on board4
rokens and phil briant4
at the place where4
with might and main4
to be found in4
to do with the4
they came to a4
tell me something about4
an hour and a4
all of which were4
as far as we4
pacing up and down4
late in the evening4
i could make out4
had a good look4
related in the last4
along the ice edge4
the weather was fine4
in a pool of4

when all of a4
in the latter part4
in a position of4
that i should have4
when i was a4

as far as possible4
on account of his4
appearance of this whale4
from the time of4
to the surprise of4

we had not been4
as it was the4
cases of this kind4
with my own eyes4
the faces of the4
the ship was hove4
more than fifty yards4
attention to the whale4
in the morning and4
i thought i observed4
the direction in which4
that the captain was4
a year with a4
was a big one4
for there was no4
the ship with the4
to the other side4
i must confess that4
within a mile of4
he shook his head4
just as i put4
as i have never4
idling about the deck4
on the main deck4
on board the bear4
the end of it4
much in the same4
off the starboard beam4
that one of the4
could not help thinking4
i went on deck4
at the time of4
next moment he was4
was ready for sea4
i think i could4

less than an hour4
and many a wonderful4
a number of the4

of the whole party4

it may be imagined4
we should have been4
have fallen in with4
fast to the ship4
the red eric was4
to lash the sea4
i went up to4
without seeing anything of3
the matter with you3
going up to him3
with every stitch of3
during the afternoon i3
all the time on3
with a couple of3
uttered a loud cry3
had been for some3
in the sides of3

boat out of the3
we were unable to3
was evident that the3
the mate was in3
the wind fell entirely3
a part of the3
lot of us were3
captain remark to the3
to find out what3
by the whole crew3
i was sure that3
good deal of time3
the bent of his3
after what seemed a3
and as i had3
just as we had3
to work the ship3
there was but one3
as there was nothing3
the whale went down3
for it was a3
as i was a3
every one in the3
used to tell me3
of the men cried3
to say the least3
as it seemed to3
been in these seas3
on a lump of3
canvas was taken off3
it may be a3
how i came to3
the evening we were3
do you think they3
the usual track of3
that he was observed3
but did not see3
dodging about under canvas3
we saw the bear3
do not think i3
with the natives of3
was made fast to3
it was a mere3
was in an uproar3
is more than i3
to do the same3
knew that it was3
had no chance of3
him by the arm3
two boats on the3
come up to breathe3
in the same fashion3
large sperm whale was3
put a stop to3
i had never before3
in the hour of3
the result of a3
at this moment the3
the departure of the3
fifty barrels of oil3
hundred feet above the3
looked as if they3
was received with a3
with only a few3
what would have happened3
in another moment he3
became evident that the3
the upper part of3
to the danish settlements3
much as we can3
cast a gloom over3
was followed by the3
we could not get3
but when we did3
we sailed up to3
by the men on3
with a violence that3
of the other ship3
as much as the3
the difference between the3
we could see the3
is well known that3
which i was not3
now that we were3
had been cut off3
the possibility of such3
one at a time3
at this moment a3
three boats were immediately3
while we were tearing3
in the wide world3
quite sure of that3
a lot of us3
would have gone to3
soon as we had3
make up his mind3
a force that would3
but i could not3
so great that we3
for a moment before3
a few minutes it3
have been to the3
we found that she3
like a pair of3
as if she was3
and i knew that3
up in this way3
and breadth of the3
it had gone down3

when we were about3
waiting for the signal3
which the whale was3
from the cabin and3
as luck would have3
of two thousand miles3
of being able to3
a man who had3
drew to a close3
in a previous chapter3
a pint of water3
close to the starboard3
and gave it a3
but the sight of3
it not for the3
line ceased to run3
was a long time3
there were numbers of3
had the power of3
i want to speak3
boats into the water3
you may be sure3
with a lump of3
on the topsail yard3
at first it was3
men dipped their oars3
short distance from us3
of the boat he3
rushed out of the3
the body of the3
at the prospect of3
to be allowed to3
few minutes sufficed to3
that in a short3
the whale had come3
thought it was all3
least a quarter of3

the water had been3
we were quite close3
in order to be3

i was on the3
he said in a3
of his little finger3
that was quite appalling3
on my first voyage3
getting back to the3
this in a very3
it was a matter3
of which had been3
we all felt that3
off into the sea3
there was a long3
were away after a3
some of them even3
less than no time3
before you could wink3
for at least a3
the men at the3
far as i knew3
i had no idea3
in time to escape3
other end of the3
right in among the3
the men on deck3
men of the dolphin3
it up with the3
to tremble like a3
attended with great danger3
go for to be3
it was slow work3
in the blubber and3
clouds in the sky3
men were in the3
and it would be3
in an open boat3
of the crew was3
and sparks of fire3
no sign of the3
midst of a shoal3
as he stood with3
and the second mate3
and that there was3
sooner than we had3
ringing down from the3
not been for the3
but as there was3
dolphin and her crew3
the last few days3
but they did not3
he sprang over the3
while we were all3
and they had no3

but in the midst3
the level of the3
in the name of3
only a small portion3
in the afternoon and3
hours at a stretch3
on board the dolphin3
i could not see3
i was not much3
in the morning we3
and made for the3
came into my mind3
came tumbling up with3
two miles from the3
there is no chance3
and prevented us from3
leaning over the rail3
with his tail and3
one of them had3
with a stare of3
make a long story3
coming to the surface3
as the reader may3
crew of the proteus3
as well as ours3
to get them to3
had no means of3

it was late when3
could not be expected3
all the ships were3
the mate told us3
to our great joy3
and had it not3
he said to me3
if nothing had happened3
and i went on3
first thing to be3
a look of contempt3
fred ellice and tom3
the fact that there3
a dark corner of3
to see what was3
of one hundred and3
and in another minute3
the sky was clear3
nothing of the kind3
side of the boat3
the western end of3
men who had never3
as it was a3
away on the horizon3
in the wild woods3
for some reason or3
the whale was made3
the names of the3
being quite a young3
long enough to enable3
i was standing close3
we were dodging about3
degree of vigour that3
arctic and wolf were3
at the moment with3
if it were an3
song without a chorus3
but i do not3
started for the ship3
do not pretend to3
to try it again3
the same in all3
by this time the3

in all parts of3
what he had said3
for all we were3
but i must confess3
and that was a3
the work of a3
him on account of3
and swing the boats3
was a small one3
he was so old3
sort of thing was3
at the apex of3
the same way as3
the water on the3
that had gone before3

that it would be3

hours before we got3

the edges of the3
the efforts of the3
the neighbourhood of the3

of the same opinion3

was to me a3
to see that he3

that this was the3
