WHALING 



BY 

 CHARLES BOARDMAN HA WES 



WHEREIN are discussed the first whalemen of whom 

 we have record; the growth of the European whaling 

 industry, and of its offspring, the American whaling 

 industry; primitive whaling among the savages of North 

 America; the various manners and means of taking 

 whales in all parts of the world and in all times of its 

 history; the extraordinary adventures and mishaps 

 that have befallen whalemen the seas over; the econo- 

 mic and social conditions that led to the rise of whaling 

 and hastened its decline; and, in conclusion, the pres- 

 ent state of the once flourishing and lucrative industry.
