Quotations
1774
At noon I went in a skiff and hauled the nets under the Lyon Head, and had a lazarus in one of them.
1861
The next seal I have to catalogue (there is nothing special in it to describe) generally loiters on the coast later than the Harp, and frequents it sooner in the spring: it is called the Lazarus.
