which burning open fojne Days afterwards, there came 
out a. young Whale that was Fifteen Foot long 5 but he

About two Years ago there came a Stranger to me, 
who had two Pew/?/ of the Whale Fifh 5 and I took the 
liberty to ask him of what ufe thofe Members were } but 
he , made me no other Ajnfvyer, than that they were : 
lif^ 1 in jphyfick. Soon after came the aforefaid Captain

it I concluded,* that the Blood was of a deep or dark

where the Blood fell, it left a Stain.
