Wyllys then proceeded to ask some questions, which had been agreed upon before the meeting. "What is your precise age, sir?" "I shall be thirty-seven, the tenth of next August." "Where were you born?" "At my father's country-place, in county, Pennsylvania." "When were you last there before his death?" "After my whaling voyage in the Sally-Ann, in the summer of 1814."
