WHALING GUN, PATENT BOMB LANCE
AND GUN Ms.
A FER AL YEARS LABOR AND
IA experimenting upon whales, on the whaling ground, with
his apparatus, combined with the advantages of being a practical
whaleman, the Patentee has been enabled to obtain an instru-
ment in form of a Bomb Lance, which for utility and effective
ness cannot be eXceIed.
The attention of Agents and Officers of whale-ships is called
to the following testimonials.
SAN Francisco, January 10, 1856.
CAPT Il. BRowN-Sir: L take this opportunity to inform
you that We used those Bomb Lances we bought of you, and
the ice.
The first whale that we used the Bomb Lance on was killed
In the following manner The boat went alongside of the whale
and the boat-steerer fired a Bomb into him and then fastened to
whale did not blow after the Bomb exploded. The above-men-
toned whale was in the ice, and it is our opinion that we should
not have got that whale and many others that we did get, if it
hd not been for your Bomb Lauces, and we fully recommend
them to the attention of those fitting out whale ships.
Respectfully yours,
THOMAS WALL, Master bark George.
HONOLULU, March II, 1856.
CAPT. ROBERT BRowN-My dear Sir: L used your Bomb
Lances in taking a whale, north, the past season, which made
700 bblS. of oil. We never could have taken him without said
Lances, as our boats could not get near enough to use the COM
hand lance.
Yours Respectfully,
G. L. Cox, Master ~whale-ship Magnolia.
HONOLULU, March Is, 1856.
CAPT. ROBERT BRowN-Dear Sir : / take this opportunity
20 inform You that / used your Bombs on the voyage in the ship
recommend them to all wIalemen, and especially around the ice.

Guns and apparatus.
Yours Respectfully,
