A traveler recounts a chance encounter with the Emperor of Russia, noting the ruler often travels incognito in a marshal’s uniform, guarded by police and a single servant.

A crew member recounts freeing sailors, taming a dying calf, and towing the carcass alongside ships for later dissection. The narrative notes the whale’s size and the sea setting near Japan with a sinking sun.
