Though history indicates the BIsques or
Biscayans as the first civilized race that
equipped vessels for whaling, it remained
for the Dutch TO perfect the harpoon, the
reel, the line aud the spear as well as the
art of using them; and with them originat-
ed the system OF rewarding the officers and
crews employed ia the pursuit OF the
whale, not with direct wages, but with
shares and 'flays, as they are technically
called, in the spoils Of the game, proper
toned to skill and experience. The Bis.
cayans at first contcnted themselves with
seeking whales in the adjacent seas; but
as the prosecuted animals grow scarcer
the boldest Of them sailed north and
sought them in their own icy homes. But
gradually the Biscayans abandoned the
pursuit Ia 1875 they only sent out ten or
twelve vessels, and nine years later, in
l74I, abandoned altogether this branch Of
commerce, which they had been first to
open. But the Dutch turned the fishery
TO good account aud az early as 1850 bad
2GO ships and 10000 sailors engaged in il.
They even foun led fishing settlement,
called Sweerenburgb, on the coast OF
Spitzenbergen. within twelve degrees Of
the north pole, and took whales in such
abundance in its vicinity that extra ships
had to be sent out TO bring home the sur.
