Whales In The Group

Recently there have been numerous whales around these waters and the native have spent endless hours chas ing out after them. They have met with no luck, though on two occasions managed to scratch the whales with harpoons.

However, Aitutaki natives have been better favoured, as advice was received that they landed two whales over there.
