All
honor
to
the
Enderbies
,
therefore
,
whose
house
,
I
think
,
exists
to
the
present
day
;
though
doubtless
the
original
Samuel
must
long
ago
have
slipped
his
cable
for
the
great
South
Sea
of
the
other
world
.
The
ship
named
after
him
was
worthy
of
the
honor
,
being
a
very
fast
sailer
and
a
noble
craft
every
way
.
I
boarded
her
once
at
midnight
somewhere
off
the
Patagonian
coast
,
and
drank
good
flip
down
in
the
forecastle
.
It
was
a
fine
gam
we
had
,
and
they
were
all
trumps
--
every
soul
on
board
.
A
short
life
to
them
,
and
a
jolly
death
.
And
that
fine
gam
I
had
--
long
,
very
long
after
old
Ahab
touched
her
planks
with
his
ivory
heel
--
it
minds
me
of
the
noble
,
solid
,
Saxon
hospitality
of
that
ship
;
and
may
my
parson
forget
me
,
and
the
devil
remember
me
,
if
I
ever
lose
sight
of
it
.
Flip
?
Did
I
say
we
had
flip
?
Yes
,
and
we
flipped
it
at
the
rate
of
ten
gallons
the
hour
;
and
when
the
squall
came
(
for
it
's
squally
off
there
by
Patagonia
)
,
and
all
hands
--
visitors
and
all
--
were
called
to
reef
topsails
,
we
were
so
top-heavy
that
we
had
to
swing
each
other
aloft
in
bowlines
;
and
we
ignorantly
furled
the
skirts
of
our
jackets
into
the
sails
,
so
that
we
hung
there
,
reefed
fast
in
the
howling
gale
,
a
warning
example
to
all
drunken
tars
.
However
,
the
masts
did
not
go
overboard
;
and
by
and
by
we
scrambled
down
,
so
sober
,
that
we
had
to
pass
the
flip
again
,
though
the
savage
salt
spray
bursting
down
the
forecastle
scuttle
,
rather
too
much
diluted
and
pickled
it
for
my
taste
.
The
beef
was
fine
--
tough
,
but
with
body
in
it
.
They
said
it
was
bullbeef
;
others
,
that
it
was
dromedary
beef
;
but
I
do
not
know
,
for
certain
,
how
that
was
.
They
had
dumplings
too
;
small
,
but
substantial
,
symmetrically
globular
,
and
indestructible
dumplings
.
I
fancied
that
you
could
feel
them
,
and
roll
them
about
in
you
after
they
were
swallowed
.
If
you
stooped
over
too
far
forward
,
you
risked
their
pitching
out
of
you
like
billiard-balls
.
The
bread
--
but
that
could
n't
be
helped
;
besides
,
it
was
an
anti-scorbutic
,
in
short
,
the
bread
contained
the
only
fresh
fare
they
had
.
But
the
forecastle
was
not
very
light
,
and
it
was
very
easy
to
step
over
into
a
dark
corner
when
you
ate
it
.
But
all
in
all
,
taking
her
from
truck
to
helm
,
considering
the
dimensions
of
the
cook
's
boilers
,
including
his
own
live
parchment
boilers
;
fore
and
aft
,
I
say
,
the
Samuel
Enderby
was
a
jolly
ship
;
of
good
fare
and
plenty
;
fine
flip
and
strong
;
crack
fellows
all
,
and
capital
from
boot
heels
to
hat-band
.
But
why
was
it
,
think
ye
,
that
the
Samuel
Enderby
,
and
some
other
English
whalers
I
know
of
--
not
all
though
--
were
such
famous
,
hospitable
ships
;
that
passed
round
the
beef
,
and
the
bread
,
and
the
can
,
and
the
joke
;
and
were
not
soon
weary
of
eating
,
and
drinking
,
and
laughing
?
I
will
tell
you
.
The
abounding
good
cheer
of
these
English
whalers
is
matter
for
historical
research
.
Nor
have
I
been
at
all
sparing
of
historical
whale
research
,
when
it
has
seemed
needed
.
The
English
were
preceded
in
the
whale
fishery
by
the
Hollanders
,
Zealanders
,
and
Danes
;
from
whom
they
derived
many
terms
still
extant
in
the
fishery
;
and
what
is
yet
more
,
their
fat
old
fashions
,
touching
plenty
to
eat
and
drink
.
For
,
as
a
general
thing
,
the
English
merchant-ship
scrimps
her
crew
;
but
not
so
the
English
whaler
.
Hence
,
in
the
English
,
this
thing
of
whaling
good
cheer
is
not
normal
and
natural
,
but
incidental
and
particular
;
and
,
therefore
,
must
have
some
special
origin
,
which
is
here
pointed
out
,
and
will
be
still
further
elucidated
.
During
my
researches
in
the
Leviathanic
histories
,
I
stumbled
upon
an
ancient
Dutch
volume
,
which
,
by
the
musty
whaling
smell
of
it
,
I
knew
must
be
about
whalers
.
The
title
was
,
"
Dan
Coopman
,
"
wherefore
I
concluded
that
this
must
be
the
invaluable
memoirs
of
some
Amsterdam
cooper
in
the
fishery
,
as
every
whale
ship
must
carry
its
cooper
.
I
was
reinforced
in
this
opinion
by
seeing
that
it
was
the
production
of
one
"
Fitz
Swackhammer
.
"
But
my
friend
Dr.
Snodhead
,
a
very
learned
man
,
professor
of
Low
Dutch
and
High
German
in
the
college
of
Santa
Claus
and
St.
Potts
,
to
whom
I
handed
the
work
for
translation
,
giving
him
a
box
of
sperm
candles
for
his
trouble
--
this
same
Dr.
Snodhead
,
so
soon
as
he
spied
the
book
,
assured
me
that
"
Dan
Coopman
"
did
not
mean
"
The
Cooper
,
"
but
"
The
Merchant
.
"
In
short
,
this
ancient
and
learned
Low
Dutch
book
treated
of
the
commerce
of
Holland
;
and
,
among
other
subjects
,
contained
a
very
interesting
account
of
its
whale
fishery
.
And
in
this
chapter
it
was
,
headed
,
"
Smeer
,
"
or
"
Fat
,
"
that
I
found
a
long
detailed
list
of
the
outfits
for
the
larders
and
cellars
of
180
sail
of
Dutch
whalemen
;
from
which
list
,
as
translated
by
Dr.
Snodhead
,
I
transcribe
the
following
:
400,000
lbs
.
of
beef
.
60,000
lbs
.
Friesland
pork
.
