 All aboard for the transcribed premier production the crews of the Paul Parrot and the thrilling adventures of whaling days The trim whaling ship the Paul Parrot has set sail from New Bedford in the spring of 1858 With a fine crew and the most unusual company of people aboard Although she sailed with the announced purpose of hunting whales and collecting a cargo of whale oil The true reason for the crews of the Paul Parrot is to seek a valuable mineral treasure on an unknown island Captain Dalton his best friend and first made George Wainwright The one-legged sailor Dickon the cabin boy Johnny Robbins and little Sue Grain sister of the ship's owner have succeeded in Uncovering the secret which was known only to the owner of the ship as regrains He is also on the void supposedly as a passenger, but really to find the treasure He seeks after a bold attempt by a Spaniard named Al-Testi and his partner in crime Red Mulholly to get control of the ship and secure the treasure for themselves has been foiled by the bravery and quick thinking of our Friends the troublemakers have been thrown in irons down in the hole Since Johnny Robbins father was one of the original discoverers of the rich mineral deposit on the secret island Ezra Grange has promised him half the treasure when it's found Just at this point with the villain safely disposed of and the ship well on its way to the island a cry comes from the mast head Blow me down mr. Grange a whale sighted and so soon out What were the new purpose in mind to seek in for treasure? Perhaps we might as well not waste time Whelan no no captain Dalton even though we are first on the mission of this map Grange and sons are still in the whale oil business You know we'll not pass up such a chance when it's right before us. Hi. Hi, sir Right you are we'll make short work of this lover in no time at all Wainwright you and dick and go on deck give orders to make ready for the catch. Hi. Hi, sir Yeah, I wish I could go along Best it's a mammoth one for fair a giant blue whale He'll be hard to take but worth the effort. I'll lay you to that Mr. John's board will make the catch when mr. Miscaris boat standing by of assistance is needed He'll likely need it from that whale size Drop anchor even to He's up to captain here comes old Dickon with our mascot Polly on his shoulder Captain Captain Dalton shiver me timbers captain. It's him. He's too. Dickon. What are you balling about? Oh captain to me die on day It's the very one the very one best dick and what's all this blabbering about speak up man Well, that will roll out there's a same blue whale that crossing me legs on 15 years ago I've seen him since many a day and he's a monster to make fast to but it's the same one captain. You may later That's a but dick and how could you be sure that's the same whale when he's so far from the ship? Oh last I Could never mistake that whale never dummy dying day Captain I want to go after that whale. I always saw me met again. It would be him or me sir Blow me down dick and you want to go in one of the boats. I do sir I'm still as good a half-boon arm as ever Lash me to a yard arm if I don't sink the iron deep into as carcass dick and mate. I know how close this is to your heart I'm willing to give you a chance, but if harm be fairly. I'd never forgive myself Captain I'll take the risk. Please let me go sir. I'll do it. Mr. Dickon will go with you as boat steerer Good luck dick and oh, but do be careful. We haven't bless you. I'll not fail a best mate May have to weather heavy swells near that monster there they go I hope they can catch is this whale. I'll add there they go Poor old dick and has waited many a year for this moment. He can't feel Batten down my hatch with my heart is pumping as if I were out there with him Look at that boat came over the water You know it seems funny captain dog You said dick and would take the place of the boat steerer and yet he's not staring He's standing up in the bow of the boat with the harpoon. That's right The second mate mr. Jawad is steering but after dick and makes his strike and makes fast to the whale Then he and jaw it will change places and he'll truly be the boat steerer It seems to be a strange custom. I know but it's always been so in whaling as far back as any man can remember They're creeping up on the whale Gee, he's really a big one. All right. He's surely is Never dreamed anything could be so big They can make no more noise than they must young and because you see a whale's eyes are poor But his ears are keen and if he hears the slightest noise that's irregular he'll sound sound Yes sound dive under and once he's under there's no tellin where he'll go. He may breach miles away Reach what's that captain doll? Hmm by breach. I mean he comes up to the surface again Oh look, they're almost to him making it standing up with the harpoon in his hand. Yes He's about to cast the iron may the gods of the sea smile on him and bring him luck look the whales turning about no me down He sees him. Oh there goes Dickens arm. He's cast He struck dick and got him all right But now they'll be the dickens to pay any me later that but the way of turning around He can't buy anything with his back turned. I but there's the danger a blue whale though He's the biggest of all has no teeth. His mouth is full of baleen baleen What in the world is that baleen is really the name for whale bone? It grows in plates in the whale's mouth from two to twelve feet in length Well, if they're not teeth, why are they in the whale's mouth to collect food and keep it in his mouth? But it's not his mouth I'm worrying about it's the flukes of his tail the most dangerous things in all the seven seas Flukes are the points of the tail aren't they captain Dalton? That's right Johnny those enormous points. Those are the flukes The whale is raising his tail out of the water. He's bringing it down on the boat Suffering whitefish both the boats are match wood and the men are all out in the sea We ain't right make my boat ready and lower away. Hi captain, but by the host of it. I'm going along well very well George in my boat That's it make swing go along captain. I'm small and quick. I can help Blow me down Roy. We're lowered now. There's no time to put the ladder board Oh Johnny, you shouldn't have done this but it's too late to do anything now. He's blowing out of the way ready men You know, I'll take the iron you take a place at the stroke or I've got to make this spike myself On me home the man out there in the sea are almost ready that way of turning up the water so There's dick and he's well and put your life When I'm going to catch the iron get ready to change places with me. Hi. Hi, sir I've asked every picture right ahead for me at blubbery. He looks like a man of war and still see the consign in him It was a good strike. This must be a better or we're all lost. We're on him Roy. Give it to us Don't let a cat die. He's running. He's got a rabbit. Pull me down. He's turning again Give a side to whale. He's hanging on to a spool. What has he got in his hand? Bratton down by a hatch he's got a lance. He's crawling over to one side of the whale That monster sans our whole dick and his law. If it goes dick and his arm He's sinking the lance. Watch out man, the whale's sound. He's done it All dickens done it. That floor of the lance finished him. Good old dicken. He got his way Jean Yeah, I was never so excited in all my life. Come on, then we've got to pick up the men They'll up south of the water on the boat me hearty We've almost been prompt captain of air. There's diggin dick and dick and are you safe?
