book ii. (octavo), chapter iv. (killer).—of this whale little is precisely known to the nantucketer, and nothing at all to the professed naturalist. from what i have seen of him at a distance, i should say that he was about the bigness of a grampus. he is very savage—a sort of feegee fish. he sometimes takes the great folio whales by the lip, and hangs there like a leech, till the mighty brute is worried to death.
