| Summary: | barber [boring and reeving south-eastward] Ship frequently receiving blows in different parts of the hull, damage unknown, for it is so very thick with the barber that we cannot see a piece of ice till close to. [WK's note: I didn't scan the whole book, so don't know port of Jane, who the mate is, but this shows 1830's (Hull) whaling vocabulary, and that it is not Nova Scotia regionalism. Superb source for lexicography--not enough time to get into the lexical contexts, even for our purposes.] JUL 22 1980 Used I and Sup Used I and Sup 1 Not used
