Whales

"Once the blond girl cried out, the scoop in her hand. "Look!" she cried, pointing over the port gunwale. A hundred yards away, rolling and sporting, were a family of whales, a male, two females, and four calves. Then she returned to her bailing." Book 9, Marauders of Gor, page 63 "That scent, I knew, a distillation of a hundred flowers, nurtured like a priceless wine, was a secret guarded by the perfumers of Ar. It contained as well the separated oil of the Thentis needle tree; an extract from the glands of the Cartius river urt; and a preparation formed from a disease calculus scraped from the intestines of the rare Hunjer Long Whale, the result of the inadequate digestion of cuttlefish. Fortunately, too, this calculus is sometimes found free in the sea, expelled with feces..." Book 9, Marauders of Gor, page 114 "The red hunters lived as nomads, dependent on the migrations of various types of animals, in particular the northern tabuk and four varieties of sea sleen. Their fishing and hunting were seasonal, and depended on the animals. Sometimes they managed to secure the northern shark, sometimes even the toothed Hunjer whale or the less common Karl whale, which was a four-fluked, baleen whale." Book 12, Beasts of Gor, page 36 ~才 "Suddenly, not more than a dozen feet from the boat, driving upward, rearing vertically, surging, expelling air in a great burst of noise, shedding icy water, in a tangle of lines and blood, burst the towering, cylindrical tonnage of the black Hunjer whale." Book 12, Beasts of Gor Page 258 ~才 "I reached out with my hand and pushed against the side of the mammal. The Hunjer whale is a toothed whale." Book 12, Beasts of Gor Page 259 ~才 "The remains of the great Hunjer whale lay beached on the shore, much of it already cut away, many bones, too, taken from it. 'The meat racks are full,' I said, referring to the high racks here and there in the camp. 'Yes,' said Imnak. Two weeks ago, some ten to fifteen sleeps ago, by rare fortune, we had managed to harpoon a baleen whale, a bluish, white spotted blunt fin. That two whales had been taken in one season was rare hunting, indeed. Sometimes two or three years pass without a whale being taken." Book 12, Beasts of Gor Page 265 ~才
