Quotations
1849
We were provided with an Indian fish spear, called a naygog; it is a singular instrument, but an effectual one for its purpose. Two crescents of light wood are tied at the end of a pole, R and they open and close partially on a iron spike fixed between them, this last pierces the fish, and the half circles hold him.
1886
