SITUATION OF THE EARLY WHALE-FISHERY--THE MANNER IN (THICH IT WAS CONDUCTED--AND THE ALTERATIONS WHICH HAVE TAKEN PLACE. Immediately after the discovery of Spitzbergen by Hudson, in the year 1607, the walrus-fishers, who carried on an extensive and profitable business at Cherie Island, finding the animals of their pursuit become shy and less abundant, extended their voyage to the northward, until they fell in with Spitzbergen, the newly discovered country, about the time when the Russian Company equipped their first ships for the Greenland whale-fishery. As the coast abounded with whales and sea-horses, Cherie Island was deserted, and Spitzbergen became the scene of future enterprize. At this time, the mysticetus was found in immense numbers throughout the whole extent of the coast, and in the different capacious bays with which it abounds. Never having been disturbed, these animals were unconscious of danger; they allowed themselves to be so closely approached that they fell an easy prey to the courageous fishermen. It was not necessary that the ships should cruise abroad, throughout the extended regions of the Polar Seas, as they do at the present time, for the whales being abundant in the bays, the ships were anchored in some convenient situation, and generally remained at their moorings until their cargoes were completed. Not only did the coast of Spitzbergen abound with whales, but the shore of Jan Mayen Island, in proportion to its extent, afforded them in like abundance. The method used for capturing whales, at this period, was usually by means of the harpoon and lance, though the Dutch inform us that the English made use of nets made with strong ropes for the purpose. The harpoon, which was the instrument used in...

The knives are then put into rapid horizontal fnotioa, by which die blubber is readily cat mv proper sized pieces, falls into the luil attached t/ the bottom of the marhinp, is coodneted into the bold, and disposed of in the same maimer as before described. No other pressure besides the weight of the blabber, is requisite for forcing it through the machine; but to assist the action of the knives, their edge are sometimes made higher at the middle than at the ends. When tl.f-ground tier-casks, at far as they have been exposed, are filled, the second tier of casks is "stowed upon it, and likewise filled with blubber, together with the third tier-casks, when necessary. Ab in thin progressive manner, when fish can be had in Kiifficiency, q, y the hold is filled, and likewise the Kpacc between decks, --it is evident, that the prore of making-off must be tedious, disagreeable and laborious. Fifty men actively employed, can prepare and pack about three tons of blubber in an hour; though more frequently they are contented with making-off little more than one-half of that quantity. When a ship, which makes a successful fishing, is deficient in casks, the remaining vacancies adapted for the reception of the cargo, are filled with "blubber in bulk;" that is, the blubber, in large pieces as it is taken off the whales, is laid skin downward, upon the highest tier of casks, and over this, stratum after stratum, until the vacancies are filled. A little salt is usually scattered over the surface of each stratum of blubber, which assists in preserving the animal fibre, and in preventing the discharge of the oil. Blubber in bulk, notwithstanding every...
