THE BOATS OF H.M.S. TRENT ATTACKED BY 

 WALRUSES. 



This 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 in the singular conflict.
