He discusses its malignity to man, and refers
to some accounts of men being “snapt out of a
boat” by this animal, and of boats being sunk,
but adds that “I have not heard any account of
such an accident hereabouts, that might be
depended upon.” Nevertheless the fishermen, “when
they see one of these creatures at a distance, they
row away with all their might (by which they
sometimes injure their health) towards the shore,
or into a creek where it cannot follow them.”
He agrees with Peter Dass, author of
‘Description of Nordland,’ in regarding this creature
as the scriptural Leviathan, and quotes the verses
of Dass, from which I extract the following:
“When Julius enters on his princely state,
And Sol turns back in his aerial course,
Then does the hideous monster first appear.”
