by Frank Lane
The rare and costly substance ambergris is used today mainly as an ingredient in perfumes. The origin of these lumps found floating at sea or washed on shore was a mystery until they were traced to the sperm whale and discovered to be a product of his indigestion. Frank Lane tells something of the origin, lore, and uses of ambergris.
