[Madam How and Lady Why by Charles Kingsley]@TWC D-Link bookMadam How and Lady Why CHAPTER XII--HOMEWARD BOUND 18/68

Look here! Here are more whales coming.
Don't be frightened.
They are only little ones, mackerel-hunting, like the big one. What pretty smooth things, turning head over heels, and saying, "Hush, Hush!" They don't really turn clean over; and that "Hush" is their way of breathing. Are they the young ones of that great monster? No; they are porpoises.
That big one is, I believe, a bottle-nose.
