Text Appearing Before Image:
GREENLAND WHALK. THE RORQUAL WHALE. The Hump-backed Whale is found in great numbers in the Arctic seas.It is a large animal, often reaching a length of seventy-five feet. It has acurious depression in the middle of its back which makes it appear to behump-backed. This whale yields a great quantity of oil, which is almost asfine as sperm-oil. Nevertheless, the whalers avoid the hump-back as much aspossible. Once it has been wounded it pursues a boat until it has destroyedit. It is seldom that the harpooner can kill the hump-back outright, evenwith an explosive bomb-lance, and if he misses his stroke altogether, the boatis certain to be destroyed with a sweep of the huge creatures tail.
Text Appearing After Image:
RORQUAL WHALE. The Rorqual is the giant among the whales, for it is larger than eitherthe sperm or Greenland whale. It is seldom found far from the Arctic regions.As it is not a valuable whale, it is not hunted. The rorqual will go out ofits way to attack man, and its onslaught is so terrific that it will dash a boat topieces almost before its occupants are aware that their enemy is nearby. THE NARWHAL.
