 Whale
Hunting
While we were in Black River last July, John, Maggie, Patrick, and
I went beluga whale hunting.
When we got a little ways out from Black River we saw a white
whale. So Maggie and I took turns driving the boat while John did the
hunting. At first we did not know how to turn the boat and we'd turn
right when we had to turn left, and when John shot at the whale he
missed.
When he finally shot the first whale we lost it so we decided to
follow a boat that was going to Sheldon's Point. The boat was about
half a mile away and we all agreed to follow it. As we went, we
traveled where we knew the whales liked to swim around. Along the way
we actually hit another whale, and broke the kicker drive handle.
Lucky all of us were wearing life preservers because the force of the
bump was so strong we almost flew out of the boat. The current was so
strong we would have been lost. As it was, with the kicker handle
broken we had no way of getting back to the land. So John re- started
the kicker and drove with a little piece of the throttle that was
sticking out.
When we finally got back to Black River we all helped take the
kicker off the boat and replaced the 60 horse with a 40 horse.
The next day we went to Sheldon's Point and stayed there
overnight. The following day we went to Alakanuk and stayed there for
2 to 3 days. After that we went back to Black River and when we got
there we heard that someone had found both the whales we had caught.
After a day in Black River we then went back to Scammon Bay to visit
John's, Maggie's, and Patrick's parents. After a day there we left
for Black River again even though the water was rough and the wind
was blowing hard.
In spite of it being rough, there were about six boats going back
to Black River. Some of them got there in no time but a couple took
longer.
On our way it was foggy, so we had to go out in the ocean and
through the thick fog. It was a pretty scary ride. The weather from
the fog was moist and cold, and by the time we got to Black River it
was really blowing out. Even my grandma and grandpa said we wouldn't
make it. But John was brave enough and we finally made it back to
Black River. Then after staying a couple of days there we went home
again all packed and ready to spend the winter at Scammon Bay.
