Excerpt: ... The Polar bear is the largest of the species,1 and has frequently been found of an immense size. Barentz killed one thirteen feet in length, and they have been said to be found of a much larger size, but not on equally good authority. The one which Captain Phipps describes, was only seven feet one inch long, and the largest we got on board did not ex- ceed seven feet six inches; though we killed one apparently much larger, but a gale coming on, we were obliged to bear away, and leave it on the ice. The hair of this species is very long, woolly, and of a yellowish white colour. Its teeth lock into each other like those of a rat-trap, and are so remarkably strong and sharp, that it has been known to shiver lances made of steel. Its head is small, and a good deal blaek, and without hair: ears 5 and rounded: neck armed with five exceedingly strong black claws., The carcase of the one mentioned by Captain Phipps, though without the skin, head, and entrails, weighed The flesh is white, and though se texture, is prised by some as equally delicious with mutton, especially when boiled; for, when roasted, it is of an oily taste. The liver, it would seem, is of a poisonous nature, as some Dutch sailors who ate part of one were taken so extremely ill, that after they had recovered, the skin all over their bodies fell off in scales. '-.. The fat makes good train oil, and that which is procured from the feet is sometimes used in medicine, and is commonly known by the name of bear's grease. In some upwards of a hundred pounds of fat has been got, and Gaptain Fox is said to have killed one which yielded fortyeight gallons of oil. Former's Hist. Voy. p. 363.. The skins are imported into Britain chiefly for covering coach-boxes. In Greenland the inhabitants use the flesh and fat ...
