Cape de Vex’des, the Plate, being off the mouth of the Rio de la Plata, and the Carrol Grounds.

The boats v/ere immedi ately lowered and the chase began. After a long, stronovxs chase, 31ubb,the s e c ond mat e, was the - lucky man, TashtegOjhis harpoone filled the whale so full of harpoons that in its last moments of life it lay wallowing in it's own blood rather than the salty brine,It is nov; Satur day night and such cm unholy Sabbath we vjill have cutting the blub ber from the v/hale, APRIL 14 Today the blubber was taken from the whale^i It was indeed a task for one to remember. Everyone looked like a butcher instead of a seaman. When all the bliibber v/as taken from the body, the command was given to "Haul in the chains and let the carcase go astern". The white peeled body gradually floated away fro'-u the ship with the hungry sharks and sea vultures which once a- voided it now fussing over it and feasting on it. Martin Liles
