THE AMERICAN WHALE-FISHERY. 235 enough to fasten the tackle under the fin, the order is given to "board, " which i.« done in the following manner: The second tackle, which took in the head, now being free and again ready for use, a boat-steerer or officer cuts a hole in the blanket-piece well down to the plank-sheer, and through this hole the strap of the tackle is thrust, and a heavy wooden glut, called a toggle, is passed through the thimble of the block-strap (as seen in the accompanying figure), which secures it firmly to the blanket-piece and completes the "board." Then the order is given to "take to and heave away, " when the fall of the tackle is taken around the windlass and hauled taut, the men at the windlass-brakes heave upon the tackle until the sec- ond blanket-piece is raised two feet or more above the plank-sheer, and the first is cut ofl' and lowered down the m-" hatch into the blubber-room. The second blanket-piece is then hove up, until the whale again lies on its side, when the other lip is taken in by the same process. The carcass is now turned back down, by heav- ing up on the piece, and in doing this, the throat-blub- ber is cut clear from that of the trunk ; and with a spade, a hole is made through both the throat and tongue, when the throat-chain toggle is inserted at C, as seen in the diagram. The tackle being hooked to the ring of the chain, the throat is cut from the flesh that adheres to it as it is drawn up, and when hoisted high enough, it is lowered on deck, or into the blubber-room. Then the body, blubber is cut in spiral folds—as represented in the diagram by diagonal lines—and rolled off down to the dotted lines behind th
