It is the eagle of the sea, and verydangerous to meet unarmed, on account of its great sizeand ferocity. The Waugog, as you may observe, is a sort of turtle.There are two just coming out of their holes; stupidthings, who think of nothing but eating, and can travelscarcely faster than a turtle upon the land. A full-grown Waugog is as large as a church, and should we runagainst one at full speed, it would jar the boat very much.You will see, madam, that travel underneath the seais not without interest.
