bilby commented on the word guzzle
"'In 1662, the town agreed that a part of every whale cast on shore be appropriated for the support of the ministry.' …Think of a whale having the breath of life beaten out of him by a storm, and dragging in over the bars and guzzles, for the support of the ministry! What a consolation it must have been to him!"
- Henry David Thoreau, Cape Cod.
