This
pursuit
lasted
nearly
three-quarters
of
an
hour
,
without
the
frigate
gaining
two
yards
on
the
cetacean
.
It
was
quite
evident
that
at
that
rate
we
should
never
come
up
with
it
.
"
Well
,
Mr.
Land
,
"
asked
the
captain
,
"
do
you
advise
me
to
put
the
boats
out
to
sea
?
"
"
No
,
sir
,
"
replied
Ned
Land
;
"
because
we
shall
not
take
that
beast
easily
.
"
"
What
shall
we
do
then
?
"
"
Put
on
more
steam
if
you
can
,
sir
.
With
your
leave
,
I
mean
to
post
myself
under
the
bowsprit
,
and
,
if
we
get
within
harpooning
distance
,
I
shall
throw
my
harpoon
.
"
"
Go
,
Ned
,
"
said
the
captain
.
"
Engineer
,
put
on
more
pressure
.
"
Ned
Land
went
to
his
post
.
The
fires
were
increased
,
the
screw
revolved
forty-three
times
a
minute
,
and
the
steam
poured
out
of
the
valves
.
We
heaved
the
log
,
and
calculated
that
the
Abraham
Lincoln
was
going
at
the
rate
of
18
12
miles
an
hour
.
But
the
accursed
animal
swam
at
the
same
speed
.
For
a
whole
hour
the
frigate
kept
up
this
pace
,
without
gaining
six
feet
.
It
was
humiliating
for
one
of
the
swiftest
sailers
in
the
American
navy
.
A
stubborn
anger
seized
the
crew
;
the
sailors
abused
the
monster
,
who
,
as
before
,
disdained
to
answer
them
;
the
captain
no
longer
contented
himself
with
twisting
his
beard
--
he
gnawed
it
.
The
engineer
was
called
again
.
