The "Orion", the whaling vessel, was in
at the Wharf when I came here, & left
early the next morning May 19. She
has not returned as yet but will be
in tonight in all probability, when
the weather is thick or there is much
Sea on, she does not venture out
as it is practically impossible to
kill many whales.
