"On May 28 the Cumbrian captured a very unsuspicious fish whilst lying to in a pool of water with seven sail in company. This whale, after swimming all round the ship, at length put her nose to the bow, and for about two minutes attempted to push the ship along. Whilst she was occupied in this strange fashion she was harpooned" (p. 253).
