| A. | Fluke-chain adjusted around the "small" and leadiug to windlass-bits. |
| B. | Fin-chain fastened around the left fin. |
| C. | Ring of fin-chain into which blubber-hook is fastened to raise fin and blanket piece – the starting point for unwinding the blubber from the whale. |
| D. | Hole in root of lip into which blubber-hook is inserted to hoist lip on board ship. |
| F to G. | Scarf to detach and hoist lower lip. |
| E to H. | Scarf cut from fin below and forward of eye to spout-holes (H) on head. |
| E to I. | Scarf from fin (E) aft to back of whale (I). |
| J to K. | Scarf cut in removing blubber while whale is being rolled. The remaining spiral lines indicate final scarfs. |
| L. | Mortised hole in top of head for head-chain. |
| M. | The old method of hoisting head by the old head-chain and toggle, the chain being rove through the spout-holes. |
| M, M. | Figure (2) the new method of hoisting in head of whale by the use of the chain-strapped blocks. Tail of chain rove from H under several feet of blubber to and through the mortised hole at L and coupled to sister-hooks (on lower block). |
| N. | Cutting made by monkey, with the ax, while overboard, in order to detach the head-bone. |
| O. | The lower part of the bone, which, being very thin, reqnires light strokes in order to detach it. |
| P. | Markings showing where the flat-shanked spade is inserted to start the throat-bone in detaching the head. |
| Q. | Showing (approximately) where the hole is made in the throat in order to haul it on board by the present method. |
| R. | Dotted lines showing the throat-chain, and toggle and the former method of taking in the throat. |
| S. | Dotted lines showing where the backbone of whale is severed when taking off blubber in order to lessen the strain on the windlass. |
| T. | Wide section of blanket piece which is trimmed down by the boarding-knife when boarding blubber. |
