An item referred to the Honolulu Advertiser of 5 November
reporting the arrival of 24 whalers belonging to the Arctic Fleet with an
average catch of 1.000 barrels oil and 20.000 lbs bone. In the
last part of the season was an abundance of whales seen en without problems
could hundreds of whalers had been active with the hunt without to fear that
the whales would be exterminated. New Bedford owners was asked to sent all
whalers they possessed. The Ochotsk whalers were however less successful. Just
a few returned and all with poor results. The negative results were caused by
the worse weather and not lacking of enough whales.
