Digitized by Google OLD WHALING DAYS. 83 One morning, as we were having breakfast in the cabin, after a severe gale and ice pressure, a shot was fired from the deck. We rushed up to ascertain the cause, and found the harpooner on watch had fired at a bear, but missed it.

When within ten yar^s, which I considered quite near enough upon the ice when a man has only one charge for his gun, and that a muzzle loader, the brute lay down with its head between its paws as though in the act of making a spring if I should come closer.
