After some time the diminished speed was discovered to be owing to a huge whale which the cutwater of the ship had struck and penetrated in the centre, and was driving along. The whale must have been floating on the surface dead or asleep when the ship struck it. The passengers wanted the monster to be hauled on boijrd, but the captain could not afford the time to do so. He therefore backed the ship for some distance, and the Jevjathan became disentangled and sunk.
