Generally, the 300th part was considered a "Long lay' meaning you would have to be out for a long time to come home with any money. In "Moby Dick" Ishmael is offered the 777th part. i used a quote from the Bible on our friend Davy a while back that came from one of the Captainds that gave Ishmael the 777th Part...<BR/>"Store not up thy treasures on Earth which moth and rust do corrupt".<BR/><BR/>I don't think there is any mention of payment by duck in Moby Dick. That would probably be a VERY long lay.bulletholeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681107556161747976noreply@blogger.com
