GREENLAND WHALE FISHERY
d to e. No. 2325. Capt. Asel Trueblood, St. Ignace, Mich., 1938. See Col, p. 1515 Wha, p. 693 Be, 104.
i In eighteen hundred and forty-five, Being March on the twentieth day, Oh, we hoisted our colors to our topmast high And for Greenland forged away, brave boys, And for Greenland forged away.
2  When we struck that Greenland shore With our gallant ship in full fold,
We wished ourselves back safe at home again With our friends all on the shore, brave boys, With our friends along the shore.
3  Our mate he stood on the forecastle yard With a spyglass in his hand,
"There's a whale, there's a whale, there's a whale!" cried he, "And she blows at every span, brave boys, And she blows at every span."
[214]
