The line originally
used in the fishery was of the
best hemp, slightly vapoured
with tar, not
impregnated
with it, as
in the case of
ordinary ropes; for while tar, as ordinarily
used, makes the hemp more pliable to the rope-maker, and also renders the
rope itself more convenient to the sailor for common ship use; yet, not only would the ordinary quantity too much stiffen
the whale-line for the close coiling to which it must be subjected; but as most seamen are beginning to learn, tar in general by no
means adds to the rope’s durability or strength, however much it may give it compactness and gloss.
