His Artibus

Here is today's emblem and distich by Joachim Camerarius, 4:2. As you can see in the image, the whale is ready to attack the ship, while the people on the ship are throwing their goods overboard in order to distract the whale and make their escape. In this way, they hope to save themselves and the ship, just as the poem advises.
