The plan decided upon was to plant in the river a “kraal,” composed of stakes driven down in the form of a V, leaving the broad end open for the whales to enter. This was done in a shallow place, with the point of the kraal towards shore; and if by chance one or more whales should enter the trap at high water, my fishermen were to occupy the entrance with their boats, and keep up a tremendous splashing and noise till the tide receded, when the frightened whales would find themselves nearly “high and dry,” or with too little water to enable them to swim, and their capture would be the next thing in order. This was to be effected by securing a slip-noose of stout rope over their tails, and towing them to the sea-weed lined boxes in which they were to be transported to New York.

白话
他们决定在河里插木桩围成V形陷阱，宽口朝外让鲸鱼游进来，尖头朝岸。选浅水处，涨潮时鲸鱼若进陷阱，渔民就划船堵住入口，大声敲打水面，等退潮后鲸鱼搁浅、水少游不动，再用粗绳套住尾巴拖到铺海藻的箱子里运往纽约。这个办法的核心是利用潮汐和地形，把捕捉变成可控的流程，而不是硬拼。做事时，找到自然规律和现成条件，比蛮干更有效。
