"The best thing for us is to work hard, fill our boats with whale oil, and return home within a year."
"That way, we won't have to see each other again!"
Owen forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart and said to George.
It is clear.
He knows what to do and what not to do now.
George got even more angry after hearing this!
Although he was reluctant, he had to admit that what Owen said made sense!
……
Soon after.
They saw a whale spouting water!
This got everyone excited!!!
After such a long adventure at sea, and three months at sea, they finally encountered a whale!
then.
Owen led some people and drove some small boats towards the direction of the whale.
"Go straight and break their spines!"
Owen ordered.
After observation, they found that there was a female whale, a cub, and a big male.
It’s a great harvest!
This made everyone on the boat excited!
Nixon, who set out with Irving, had a hard time because he was the youngest and soon felt overwhelmed.
Owen picked up the javelin and stabbed it into the whale's body.
Suddenly.
The giant beast felt pain and started to rush wildly in the sea.
This caused the entire ship to speed along behind!
Everyone was very excited!
Followed by.
They saw the whale begin to dive, and the ropes on their boat became less and less.
As the reserve ropes gradually decreased, their boats would be dragged into the sea.
"Thirty-six meters left!"
Nixon became increasingly nervous.
However, Irving remained calm in the face of danger.
He asked the other two boats to throw their ropes to him as well.
I extended the rope myself so that I could continue using it.
But as the whale dived deeper and deeper, even the rope that was taken over became less and less sufficient.
The crew was growing nervous.
Some people even wanted to cut the rope to prevent the ship from being pulled into the sea.
"Don't do it!"
Owen ordered.
Although the crew members were nervous, they still chose to listen to him.
Next.
When the rope is about to run out.
Finally, the whale began to surface!
Owen seized the opportunity and shot out another javelin, stabbing the opponent fiercely.
This blow directly took the whale's life!
And the whale also sprayed a lot of blood!
"The whale is bleeding!"
"Bleeding!"
People cheered .
At this moment, their ship was floating quietly on the sea.
This is the first giant beast they conquered during this voyage!
……
When the audience saw this scene, they admired Irving's abilities even more!
have to say.
Irving's strength is indeed quite strong!
The fact that he could reap the rewards so quickly was a testament to his strength!
……
But although there was a harvest this time, problems arose when they started to search for whale oil.
"Sorry sir, that's all we can get!"
The crew handed the whale oil to Owen.
"No, there are still a lot of good stuff down there!"
Owen, who was very familiar with whales, was of course quite dissatisfied after seeing such a small amount of whale oil.
"But we are too big to get down!"
The crew member said.
"Then find someone who can go down!"
After saying this, their eyes all fell on Nixon.
Nixon still wanted to hide.
However, there was nothing he could do as Irving forced it down his throat.
Suddenly.
The overwhelming stench from the whale's body almost made Nixon vomit.
But this trip was also rewarding.
They harvested a total of 47 barrels of whale oil.
But beyond that.
They have no more.
They had to travel further afield to find the whales.
But during this period of time.
The relationship between Captain George and First Mate Owen is getting worse and worse.
The captain stayed in his room most of the time because he didn't dare to face the crew.
After all, everyone knows.
It was his "credit" that saved the crew from almost getting into danger before!
and.
They didn't gain anything during this period.
This forced everyone to venture further afield! .
216. Whale attacks ship! Thor and Spider-Man survive on deserted island
Some time passed.
They came to a small island.
Here, everyone can take a short break to facilitate the next journey.
Captain George brought Owen with him and met the captain of another ship here.
The captain of that ship and his men looked very embarrassed.
It looked as if something bad had happened.
George asked the other party.
Do you know where there are whales?
The other party also gave an answer, saying that if they went to a place, they would encounter a very large group of whales.
If you’re lucky, you can get 3000 barrels of whale oil a day!
"lucky?"
Owen keenly captured the other meaning in their words.
"Yes, I'm lucky..."
The other party also nodded and said, "Because, you are likely to meet that guy!"
"It was an alabaster-white whale, over 100 feet long, that killed six of my crew."
The captain recalled what had happened.
It's like recalling some horrible nightmare!
Faintly, they were reminded of an inexplicable fear.
and.
Even the remaining crew members were left with so-called marks to varying degrees by the whale.
That is to say, injured.
After saying all this, the captain got up and left.
And this time.
Captain George and first mate Owen also reached a rare consensus.
They decided to go to the place the captain mentioned to hunt whales.
With any luck.
They will be able to go home within six months.
however.
The crew members were somewhat dissatisfied with this.
This made them feel that this was too dangerous.
But the captain and others didn't listen at all.
After 14 months at sea, they arrived at their destination.
Just at this time.
They saw a patch of white appear on the sea.
It's a whale!
They encountered a whale!!!
