1466. Whale waiting
The wind and clouds are surging!
Cape Nen, a small place, became bustling in just two or three days. The Minister of the U.S. Department of Justice came in person, and the assistant to the Canadian Prime Minister and the head of the judicial department also came here. Qin Shiou, as the captain of the ship involved, was received by these big names - Oh, or inquiry.
In addition to the judicial authorities, more requests for his interview were the media coming, such as cbs, abc, cbc, afc. Qin Shiou met all the top ten famous media in the world here, and of course, bsp is indispensable; Qin Shiou refused to accept an interview, and he only attended an official press conference, at which he briefly introduced his identity and experience, and then no longer accepted any interviews.
He said everything he knew, and there was nothing to say after interviewing. Moreover, this "the first serious case in North America in ten years" was inevitably dirty, and he didn't want to accidentally get caught in it.
In addition to cooperating with judicial authorities to investigate this matter, Qin Shiou would go to the boat to feed the seals when he had time.
All eyes were focused on the case and the only six remaining crew members, and the harp seals were abandoned, no one paid attention to them, and there was not even a person who fed them water.
In fact, the seals are pretty good. They store thick fat and can not starve to death without eating for more than ten days in a warm environment, otherwise they will definitely not survive. According to the Mexican chef, since the internal strife, no one cares about them except for the occasional sprinkling of ice for the seals.
The blizzard raged for four days, and the snow stopped on the fifth day. The case began to be handed over to Ottawa and Washington. Qin Shiou was finally relieved and he could drive the boat home.
As the Coast Guard said, no one cared about these harp seals and were removed and dealt with on the spot. No one paid attention to them, such as animal protection organizations and seal protection associations.
Of course this is normal. Whether it is a harp seal or a seal, it is basically a large number, otherwise there would not be a violent and cruel seal hunting festival in Canada.
Qin Shiou took the initiative to help deal with it, and then took the fishermen to move all the seal cages onto the Melon Princess at night, stuffing the ship full of it.
These days he brought the fishermen to feed these seals. So when moving the cage, the seals inside were very ok, no matter how big they were, and they ate ice and slept. No one was frightened or disturbed.
However, the fishermen were so tired that they had an adult seal of at least 100 kilograms. This was not heavy, but they couldn't resist the large number. Later, the fishermen were panting and complaining.
Qin Shiou led the team in person, so although there were complaints, no one dared to give up.
Shaq lamented: "If we had known we were going to move them away, we shouldn't have fed them so much in the past few days, haha. I'm watching them get fatter these days!"
After transporting the seals, Qin Shiou did not return to the hotel. The next day, he drove away from the dock and took advantage of the calm wind and waves after the snow to go straight to the farewell island.
When leaving the Labrador Sea, it was evening when Qin Shiou looked at the beautiful clouds in the sky on the deck. Suddenly, a dull sound came from the distance: "Moo, moo..."
The sound didn't last long. It looked like two or three seconds, and it sounded a bit like a cow's scream from the depths of his throat.
After this cry sounded, several dull roars sounded one after another: "Moo moo!" "Moo moo moo moo!"
As the screams continued to sound, several water columns sprayed high, like fountains, but the water columns were in the shape of ‘v’, each of which was staggered by two water columns.
"Arctic right whale!" Winnie, who was looking at her daughter, shouted in surprise.
The sounds of whales are different, and the sounds of right whales are particularly special, which is the sound that looks like a cow. However, this is just a sound that they communicate with each other. This kind of whales are very talented in language and can imitate other sounds, which is even more powerful than beluga.
Qin Shiou released the consciousness of the sea god and saw four big right whales and three small right whales. Isn’t this the whales they encountered a month ago? I didn’t expect that they had been waiting here.
What surprised him was that these right whales actually recognized the Melon Princess. They were mooing just now, just notifying each other. Soon the water columns that were spraying were getting closer and closer, and they wandered over.
Shaq had to cut it again and said helplessly: "Just because of these whales, we have to spend at least 5,000 more diesel!"
Yes, as soon as the giant ship stops, it will burn five thousand yuan of diesel twice, so many ships will not reduce the whales after they appear, but will directly hit them and kill them. It is not that the captains are ruthless, there is no way, they don’t have that much money to waste.
Seven right whales swam around the Melon Princess, and from time to time, water columns sprayed up. These guys stood up in the water, stretched out half of their heads, and looked at the Melon Princess with their faces in a lateral face. There was no way, the right whales had a flat head, and they could not look forward together after they were raised, so they could only look with one eye on their faces.
This looks a bit obscene, as if a hooligan is looking at the beauty with his own light.
After the right whales exposed their heads, they opened their mouths one after another. Qin Shiou thought they were going to scream again, but there was no sound at all. They just opened their mouths and floated on the water.
Winnie was stunned for a moment, then she realized: "God, aren't they waiting for us to feed?"
Qin Shiou said in surprise: "You said they were waiting here just to wait for us to come back to feed them?"
"Maybe our fish tastes so beautiful." Shaq said with a wry smile.
Geng Junjie sighed: "When the taste is beautiful, our fish are so expensive, and when I was in my hometown, I couldn't bear to eat such expensive fish."
Unfortunately, there were no extra pieces of fish on the boat, and they were almost used up when catching king crabs, leaving only some scraps.
However, there were also frozen squids and other things they brought from the Maine Bulldog on the boat, which were used to make food for seals and could only be fed to whales.
The broken squid ice cubes were scattered into the water, and seven right whales scrambled to eat, but after only a few bites, they stopped eating. They continued to poke their heads out and opened their mouths to eat. A little whale screamed greedily.
"Damn it, your mouth is too squeaky, right?" Qin Shiou was shocked.
The whales played rogues and did not leave without feeding them, and swam around the Melon Princess.
Qin Shiou had no choice but to ask the fishermen to clean up, tidy up the remaining scraps, mixed with squid ice and threw them down.
Only then can the whales eat happily, and it can be seen that they are not very picky in food, but the fish in the fishing ground is too tempting for them. (To be continued.)
