All the whaling captains say that the Humpbacks & Blue Whales are the first to leave the hunting grounds -- thus as they are frightened away much quicker than the Sei Whales & Finbacks. Schools Sperm whales They tell me that here at Rekawa in August & Sept. The Sperm whales are in schools of from 100 & 500 inside islands. Capt Jacobson & his father both agree that in these two months many times one will find schools of five or six females & only one big bull sperm. Jacobson Petroires Capt Jacobson tells me that he sees many porpoises outside near Rekawa & that he recognizes at least three kinds every of which does not have a dorsal fin. Probably this is finless porpoise. Ellefson Sei whales Capt. Ellefson says that the Sei Whales here are larger than those at Norway. All gunners agree that they look the same as the Norwegian Sei scimens.
