Here leviathan, Hugest of living creatures, on the deep Stretch'd like a promontory, sleeps or swims, And seems a moving land; and at his gills Dram in, and at his trunk spouts out, a sea.

FOE the first time in our ten weeksi passage from the Hawaiian Islands, on this New Zealand Cruising Ground, we now heard that life - kindling sound to a weary whaleman, There She Blows The usual questions and orders from the deck quickly followed. Where away? Two points on the weather bow How far off? A mile and a half Keep your eye on her Sing out when we head right It turned out that three whales were descried from aloft in differentparts, and in a short time, when we were deemed near enough, the captain gave orders to Stand by and lower for one a little more than half a mile to windward. Three boats' crews pulled merrily away, glad of something to stir their blood, and with eager hope to obtain the oily material wherewith to fill their ship and make good their lay. The whale was going leisurely to windward, blowing every now and again two or three times, then turning tail, up flukes, and sinking. The boats headed'' after him, keeping a distance of nearly one quarter of a mile from each other, to scatter (as it is called) their chances. Fortunately, as the oarsmen were hove up, that is, had their oars a-peak, about the place where they expected the whale would next appear, the huge creature rose hard by the captain's boat, and all the harpooner in the bow had to do was to plunge his t...

Download or read book Historical Dictionary of the Discovery and Exploration of the Pacific Islands written by Max Quanchi and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2005-10-18 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The South Seas, as this region used to be called, conjured up images of adventure, belles and savages, romance and fabulous fortunes, but the long voyages of discovery and exploration of the vast Pacific Ocean were really an exercise in amazing logistics, navigation, hard grit, shipwreck and pure luck. The motivations were scientific and geographic, but at the same time nationalistic and materialistic. A series on global exploration and discovery would not be complete without this book by Quanchi and Robson. It is ambitious and informative and includes the familiar names of Laperouse, Bougainville, Cook and Dampier, as well as the intriguing stories of the Bounty Mutiny, scurvy, and the mysterious Northwest Passage, Terra Australis Ignotia and Davis Land. There are entries on first contacts, ships, navigational instruments, mapping, and botany. The scene is carefully set in the introduction, the chronology spans several centuries, and the extensive bibliography offers a guide to further reading. There are more than just dry facts in this book. It has a whiff of salt air, the clash of empires, cross-cultural beach encounters and personal adventure.
