[1] This word "gallied" is in constant use among whalemen in the sense of frightened or confused. It is perhaps, a corruption of the obsolete verb, gallow, to be found in old writers. Thus Shakespeare has in King Lear, "The wrathful skies gallow the deep wanderers of the dark."
[2] The general reader may not be aware that the word "foopaw." in nautical parlance, means a failure or bungling performance of any duty. Evidently a corruption of the French "faux pas."
