p. 47 · Read in the full issue
folk Island’s whaling season finished in September, when the Norfolk Island Byron Bay Whaling Co. took its quota of 170 whales. The island’s two new t. chasers “Cascade Whaler” and “Kingston Whaler” —were put into moth s for the off-season, and the mother ship, “Norfolk Whaler”, departed for tralia. The two new chasers, used at Norfolk for the first time this season, e apparently been having some settling-in pains because of Norfolk’s open . with the result that the mother ship met with greater success than her progeny. The “Norfolk Whaler” triumphantly wound-up the season by hing the final five whales of the quota. The photographs show the three vessels iperation last month, and a whale being cut up on the ramp at the factory.
