Book excerpt: Excerpt from In Whaling Days It seems fitting to introduce the posthumous pieces of Howland Tripp with a brief allusion to his literary labors and his arrested aspirations. He was born in New Bedford and educated in its schools; he was of Quaker extraction, and his people for two generations before him were engaged in the enterprise which made New Bedford historic. His own knowledge of that enterprise was gleaned not entirely from original but always from reliable sources. Books furnished information which was supplemented by conversations with those who remembered the vanished activities.
