CHAPTER II.
[6] Parkman thus heralds the advent of this foreign arrival from sea: - "A
lonely ship sailed up the St. Lawrence. The white whales floundering in
the Bay of Tadousac, and the wild duck diving as the foaming prow drew
near, - there was no life but these in all that watery solitude, twenty
miles from shore to shore.
