THE BOATS OF H.M.S. TRENT ATTACKED BY 
WALRUSES. 
Tuts plate is taken from an incident narrated in the account of the voyage of 
H.M. ships Dorothea and Trent. The boat belonging to the Trent was attacked 
by a shoal of walruses, which were near swamping it; and were not driven 
off till a gigantic walrus, which appeared to be the captain of the shoal, was 
destroyed by a shot fired into its throat as represented in the engraving, the 
original of which, as published in the account of the voyage, was taken from 
a sketch by an officer present iv the singular corflict.
