Description:
Part of portfolio of 26 lithographs and accompanying book by Lawrance Thompson.
Text from accompanying book by Lawrance Thompson, 2: Man Against Monster:

...lo!
a broad white shadow rose from the sea...
Next instant,
the luckless mate, so full of furious life,
was smitten bodily into the air
and, making a long arc in his descent,
fell into the sea
at the distance of about fifty yards.
Not a chip of the boat was harmed,
nor a hair of any oarsman's head;
but the mate for ever sank.
