Captain
Hull
strode
up
.
"
A
whale
!
"
cried
he
.
And
his
fisherman
's
instinct
urging
him
,
he
hastened
to
the
"
Pilgrim
's
"
forecastle
.
Mrs.
Weldon
,
Jack
,
Dick
Sand
,
Cousin
Benedict
himself
,
followed
him
at
once
.
In
fact
,
four
miles
to
windward
a
certain
bubbling
indicated
that
a
huge
marine
mammifer
was
moving
in
the
midst
of
the
red
waters
.
Whalers
could
not
be
mistaken
in
it
.
But
the
distance
was
still
too
considerable
to
make
it
possible
to
recognize
the
species
to
which
this
mammifer
belonged
.
These
species
,
in
fact
,
are
quite
distinct
.
Was
it
one
of
those
"
right
"
whales
,
which
the
fishermen
of
the
Northern
Ocean
seek
most
particularly
?
Those
cetaceans
,
which
lack
the
dorsal
fin
,
but
whose
skin
covers
a
thick
stratum
of
lard
,
may
attain
a
length
of
eighty
feet
,
though
the
average
does
not
exceed
sixty
,
and
then
a
single
one
of
those
monsters
furnishes
as
much
as
a
hundred
barrels
of
oil
.
Was
it
,
on
the
contrary
,
a
"
humpback
,
"
belonging
to
the
species
of
baloenopters
,
a
designation
whose
termination
should
at
least
gain
it
the
entomologist
's
esteem
?
These
possess
dorsal
fins
,
white
in
color
,
and
as
long
as
half
the
body
,
which
resemble
a
pair
of
wings
--
something
like
a
flying
whale
.
Had
they
not
in
view
,
more
likely
,
a
"
finback
"
mammifer
,
as
well
known
by
the
name
"
jubarte
,
"
which
is
provided
with
a
dorsal
fin
,
and
whose
length
may
equal
that
of
the
"
right
"
whale
?
Captain
Hull
and
his
crew
could
not
yet
decide
,
but
they
regarded
the
animal
with
more
desire
than
admiration
.
