Cuticura. So got get and he felt
relieved the first time I used them,

He used to wake up and ask for Cuti-

is slush, o T some piece of refuse from the Boston dump, or even
plain lard, they Just can't believe him. Slush, it may be explained,
is the scrapings of grease from the cooks galley aboard ship.
These scrapings are put into a pail which sometimes gets washed
overheard. Pail and slush become separated in the course OF much
tossing about in the water and the mass of cold grease floats on by
itself until taken aboard jOyously by some hopeful but deluded
skipper.
A few years ago there was great excitement on the north shore
over a greasy mass of stuff which hoated onto the beach and was
promptly spotted by the wise ones as ambergris. AS usual, a sample
was sent to Mr.. stull, wh7, with cold conclusiveness, returned it as
refuse from the Boston dump
authority in analysis, and were overjoyed to receive the assurance
that it was really and truly ambergris, not the finest quality, per-
haps, but worth at least SIS a pound. They communicated this n
formation to Mr.. Stul with special emphasis on the figure named.
But the ambergris king was unmoved.
"Refuse from Boston dump" reiterated he and inimated that
they'd better take SIS or rs cents just as quick a ever they could
get it-from anybody but him.
They never got either, though they kept the stun as long as they
could stand the smell. ,
Mr.. Stull wishes that these folks who are sure they have found
a lot of ambergrs would kindly consider that same question OF odor
For example, fishermen who pick up old pieces OF blubber which
have been sloshing around in the water for a long time are really
requested to think twice and to snin at least once before packing II
of to MI. StuIL. The real ambergris has a family sweet odor which
at least in small doses, is not unpleasant
On other points, too, there would seem to be no possible excuse
for mistaking slush. or lard. or blubber for the coveted prize. Am
bergris ranges from a dirty yellow to a dull black in color. 1t IL
generally very light in weight. 1t is not, as many persons suppose
of the consistence OF oil or thick grease.
At least MI. stuI. who has been buying 1t for thirty years, hal
seen only one example Of semisohd ambergris. He has a small
sample Of that in a half ounce vial. 1t is very dark brown and s.
thick that as the vial is turned 1t responds as slowly as very thicl
honey would.
All the other ambergris which MI. Stuu has seen has been solid
though lighter in weight than the highest wood. 1t is dry to han
die. For this reason he takes no stock in the recently published
story OF a crew In the North PACING gathering up a 20 OF noauni
grease, using 1t to oil their boots, their masts and what not. ant
later discovering that they had thus made away with 100000 wOrtl
of ambergrs.
little building at Provincetown would never suggest that they wOuli
be good lubricants for boots or masts. AS for ambergris bein
found floating on the water. that, too. according TO Mr.. stun. is NOR
