White Whale, Called “Old Tom,” Who Fought Back E? Against the Whalemen Who Were Trying to Kill Him for His Oil
A White n 1834 author Ralph Waldo Emerson was traveling W Ithrough Boston in a carriage. A sailor sitting beside him told h an extraordinary story. For many years the people of New Eng- al land knew of a white whale, called “Old Tom,” who fought back e? against the whalemen who were trying to kill him for his oil. Emerson wrote that this white whale “crushed the boats to small but covered in white patches, spots, and scratches. The white chips in his jaws, the men generally escaping by jumping over- whale that Reynolds described, however, might have been an al- board & being picked up.” The sailor explained that bino, meaning it was born without the normal pigment the whalemen eventually caught Old Tom in in its skin. Though rare, white or colorless individuals the Pacific Ocean, off Peru. occur in most animals, including birds, chimpanzees, Five years later, Jeremiah elephants, and humans. It seems that Amos Smalley, a Reynolds wrote a magazine ar- Native American whaler from Martha’s Vineyard, killed ticle about a sailor in the Pacific a white sperm whale in the South Atlantic in 1902. A few who said he had killed a white years ago, the author and adventurer, Tim Severin, wrote about a whale. This white whale was not white sperm whale witnessed by Pacific Islanders. At least two dif- called Old Tom but was known as ferent white sperm whales have been photographed in the Pacific, “Mocha Dick,” combining the name as have an albino whale shark and, just this winter, a white killer of a local island off Chile, Mocha Is- whale. -
From Mocha Dick to Moby Dick: Fishing for Clues to Moby's Name and Color
From Mocha Dick to Moby Dick: Fishing for Clues to Moby's Name and Color Ben Rogers University of Delaware Melville's fictional whale Moby Dick appears to derive from the real whale Mocha Dick, yet the differences in names and colors between these two suggest that Moby's name may be intimately connected to his symbolic role. One meaning of mob is 'to wrap in a cowl or veil'. Creating an adjective by adding -y produces moby 'having the qualities of being hooded, especially about the head', a definition reflected in Ishmael's "grand hooded phantom." Dick may be a shortening of Dickens, a euphemism for the devil. Dick may also suggest Dicky 'an officer acting on commission', an appropriate meaning for Ahab' s and Starbuck's conception of Moby as God or an agent of God. Lexicons available to Melville reveal the meaning of the name and illuminate the characteriza- tion of Moby as both commodity and Zeus of the sea, both "dumb brute" and divine Leviathan. The 1929 discovery of a narrative about a white whale named Mocha Dick began 70 years of speculation as to the extent of Mocha as Moby's prototype. The narrative, written by J.R. Reynolds in 1839, described a "renowned monster, who had come off victorious in a hundred fights ... [and was] white as wool." Typical of the reaction of literary critics at the time was Garnett's remark that "Moby Dick ... was but Mocha Dick in faery fiction dressed" (1929, 858). Critical editions of Moby-Dick often include the Reynold's narrative and today scholars generally agree that Melville probably knew of Mocha.1 The obvious sibling qualities of the two whales has tended to center onomastic study on the name Mocha Dick, and subsequent research has attempted to demonstrate that Melville knew of Mocha Dick or, assuming this, to explain why Mocha changed to Moby. -

Turk J Zool 25 (2001) 41-52 © T†BÜTAK A Study of the Ecofaunal Complexes of the Leaf-Eating Beetles (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae) in Azerbaijan Nailya MIRZOEVA Institute of Zoology, Azerbaijan Academy of Sciences, pr. 1128, kv. 504, Baku 370073-AZERBAIJAN Received: 01.10.1999 Abstract: A total of 377 leaf-eating beetle species from 69 genera and 11 subfamilies (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae) were revealed in Azerbaijan, some of which are important pests of agriculture and forestry. The leaf-eating beetle distribution among different areas of Azerbaijan is presented. In the Great Caucasus 263 species are noted, in the Small Caucasus 206, in Kura - Araks lowland 174, and in Lenkoran zone 262. The distribution of the leaf-eating beetles among different sites is also described and the results of zoogeographic analysis of the leaf-eating beetle fauna are presented as well. Eleven zoogeographic groups of the leaf-eating beetles were revealed in Azerbaijan, which are not very specific. The fauna consists mainly of the common species; the number of endemic species is small. Key Words: leaf-eating beetle, larva, pest, biotope, zoogeography.

I would also like to acknowledge with gratitude the assistance of the Australian Postgraduate Award. 2 For Bessie Showell and Ron Pritchard, for a love of words and nature. 3 The world today is sick to its thin blood for lack of elemental things, for fire before the hands, for water welling from the earth, for air, for the dear earth itself underfoot. In my world of beach and dune these elemental presences lived and had their being, and under their arch there moved an incomparable pageant of nature and the year. The flux and reflux of ocean, the incomings of waves, the gatherings of birds, the pilgrimages of the peoples of the sea, winter and storm, the splendour of autumn and the holiness of spring – all these were part of the great beach. The longer I stayed, the more eager was I to know this coast and to share its mysteries and elemental life … Edward Beston, The Outermost House Premises of the machine age. -

Neptune : the New Yorker
A Reporter at Large: Neptune : The New Yorker http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2007/11/05/071105fa_fac... A REPORTER AT LARGE NEPTUNE’S NAVY Paul Watson’s wild crusade to save the oceans. by Raffi Khatchadourian NOVEMBER 5, 2007 Watson, the founder of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, a vigilante organization that was founded thirty years ago, with one of its ships, the Farley Mowat, a trawler that has nearly sunk three times. Photograph by James Nachtwey. ne afternoon last winter, two ships lined up side by side in a field of pack ice at the mouth of the Ross Sea, off O the coast of Antarctica. They belonged to the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, a vigilante organization founded by Paul Watson, thirty years ago, to protect the world’s marine life from the destructive habits and the voracious appetites of humankind. Watson and a crew of fifty-two volunteers had sailed the ships—the Farley Mowat, from Australia, and the Robert Hunter, from Scotland—to the Ross Sea with the intention of saving whales in one of their principal habitats. A century ago, when Ernest Shackleton and his crew sailed into the Ross Sea, they discovered so many whales “spouting all around” that they named part of it the Bay of Whales. (“A veritable playground for these monsters,” Shackleton wrote.) During much of the twentieth century, though, whales were intensively hunted in the area, and a Japanese fleet still sails into Antarctic waters every winter to catch minke whales and endangered fin whales. Watson believes in coercive conservation, and for several decades he has been using his private navy to ram whaling and fishing vessels on the high seas. -
