To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
What, then, would compensate us for the loss or for the decline of the whale fishery !
Mr. President, I have tried to win the favor of the Senate toward the National whale fishery for a purpose. The whales have found a new retreat in the Seas of Ochotsk and Anadir, south of Bhering Straits, and in that part of the Arctic Ocean lying north of them. In 1848, Captain Roys, in the whale ship Superior, passed through those seas and through the straits, braving the perils of an unknown way and an inh...ospitable climate. He filled his ship in a few weeks, and the news of his success went abroad. In 1849, a fleet of 154 sail went up to this new fishing ground ; in 1850, a fleet of 144 ; and in 1851, a fleet of 145. The vessels are manned with 30 persons each ; and their value, including that of the average annual cargoes procured there, is equal to nine millions and thus exceeds by near two millions the highest annual import from China. But these fleets are beset by not only such dangers of their calling as customarily occur on well- explored fishing grounds, but also by the multiplied dangers of shipwreck resulting from the want of accurate topographical knowledge the only charts of those seas being imperfect and unsatisfactory.
