"Whales have been known to go thousands of miles with a harpoon in the side, and this one might even have been struck in the north of the Atlantic and come to die in the south of the Pacific, and it would be nothing astonishing."
Se han visto ballenas andar millares de millas con un arpón en el costado y, si ésta hubiera sido herida al norte del Atlántico y hubiera venido a morir al sur del Pacífico, nada habría de extraño.
