The
captain
then
decided
to
take
more
direct
means
.
"
Ah
!
"
said
he
,
"
that
animal
goes
quicker
than
the
Abraham
Lincoln
.
Very
well
!
we
will
see
whether
it
will
escape
these
conical
bullets
.
Send
your
men
to
the
forecastle
,
sir
.
"
The
forecastle
gun
was
immediately
loaded
and
slewed
round
.
But
the
shot
passed
some
feet
above
the
cetacean
,
which
was
half
a
mile
off
.
"
Another
,
more
to
the
right
,
"
cried
the
commander
,
"
and
five
dollars
to
whoever
will
hit
that
infernal
beast
.
"
An
old
gunner
with
a
grey
beard
--
that
I
can
see
now
--
with
steady
eye
and
grave
face
,
went
up
to
the
gun
and
took
a
long
aim
.
A
loud
report
was
heard
,
with
which
were
mingled
the
cheers
of
the
crew
.
The
bullet
did
its
work
;
it
hit
the
animal
,
and
,
sliding
off
the
rounded
surface
,
was
lost
in
two
miles
depth
of
sea
.
The
chase
began
again
,
and
the
captain
,
leaning
towards
me
,
said
:
"
I
will
pursue
that
beast
till
my
frigate
bursts
up
.
"
"
Yes
,
"
answered
I
;
"
and
you
will
be
quite
right
to
do
it
.
"
I
wished
the
beast
would
exhaust
itself
,
and
not
be
insensible
to
fatigue
like
a
steam
engine
.
But
it
was
of
no
use
.
Hours
passed
,
without
its
showing
any
signs
of
exhaustion
.
