Text Appearing Before Image: -^ Courtesy of D. Appleton and Company To capture a whale with either gun or camera requires a quick eye and a steady hand. This photo- graph, in which appear the back of the whale on the surface of the water, the harpoon and line and the black smoke from the discharge of the gun, shows that the click of the camera and the crash of the gun were almost simultaneous Text Appearing After Image: Couvti'sy 0) D. Sppiftiin and Company As the huge gray form rises from the water with clouds of vapor spouting from the open blowholes, the excitement is intense. The gunner, standing by the photographer with his harpoon gun ready, cries, "I shoot, I shoot!"'
