He seemed very active and wild. After blowing on the surface once or twice, about a quarter of a mile off, he peaked his flukes, and pitched down head fore- most. " Now, then, lads, he's down for a long dive/' said the captain ; " spring your oars like men, we'll get that fish for certain, if you'll only pull. " The captain was mistaken ; the whale had only gone down deep in order to come up and breach, or spring out of the water, for the next minute he came up not a hundred yards from us, and ...leaped his whole length into the air. A shout of surprise broke from the men, and no wonder, for this was the largest fish I ever saw FIGHTING THE WHALES. 79 or heard of, and he came up so clear of the water that we could see him from head to tail as he turned over, in the air, exposing his white belly to view, and came down on his great side with a crash like thunder, that might have been heard six miles off. A splendid mass of pure white spray burst from the spot where he fell, and in another moment he was gone.
