The best New London record is that of the Pioneer, made in an eighteen months' cruise in 1864 5.Obed Macy, in his History of Nantucket, says The captain's lay is generally one seventeenth part of all obtained the first officer's one twenty eighth part the second officer's, one forty fifth the third officer's, one sixtieth a boat steerer's from words ending in ph an eightieth to a hundred and twentieth, and a foremast hand's, from a hundred and twentieth to a hundred and eighty fifth each.Half a century of peace followed, during which the whaling industry rose to its highest point but was again on the wane when the Civil War let loose upon the remaining whalemen the Confederate cruisers, the Shenandoah alone burning thirty four of them.As a result of these negotiations, Nantucket formally declared her words ending in ph neutrality, and by town meeting voted to accede to the British demand that her people pay no taxes for the support of the United States.They had suffered both at the hands of France and England wrongs which might well rouse their resentment.Stories of the whale fishery are plentiful, and of late years there has words ending in ph been some effort made to gather these into a kind of popular history of the industry.This was before noon, and occurred about six miles from the ship, which bore down as fast as could be to pick up the struggling men.As the whale, unless alarmed, seldom swims more than two and words ending in ph a half miles an hour, and usually stays below only about forty five minutes at a time, there is little difficulty in overhauling him.Of course the home conditions created by this almost universal masculine employment were curious.A painful stroke of his lance induced the words ending in ph whale to dart suddenly downward.Perhaps there would be no house without some special interest in her cruise.
