 Gives out his snowy plumage to the gale ;

 Bears forward fierce, and guards his osier- isle, 

 Protective of his young."

 boisterous for several days, when they 

 retire from the mid-bay to seek food on 

 the shallows of the coves or under tlie 

 protection of the islands a considerable distance from the sea.
