which have not been recorded in former

explored amid great danger during
the voyage of ULRICH SCHMIDT of
Straubing, and most carefully
described by him.

I saw before that town a balena, or whale, thirty-five paces long, out of which thirty tuns—of the capacity of herring tuns—of fat had been extracted.
