whaler Traveller.
Our hunting grounds were the
waters off the north and south
of the jabbed Farallon Islands,
where the playful humpbacks
and the giant sulphur bottom
whales were still fairly album
dant. The animals, once sighted,
were killed with harpoons fired
from small cannon mounted in
the bows of the steamers, and
were then hauled alongside and
pumped full of air to keep them
afloat.
The floating cadavers were
towed to the whaling station
near Monterey to be hung up in
chains, cut TO pieces, and boiled
to yield material for the manu-
facture of soaps, perfumes and
margarine. Each cruise lasted
from four to FIVE days. In ten
days, the Traveller delivered no
less than seven humpbacks and
one sulphur-bottom to tn e
slaughterhouse on the beach of
Monterey.
