An item reported that the whalers St. George and Coral were spoken in the Sea of Okhotsk off Cape Olivar on 21 June. They left the Arctic Ocean with around 60 ships partly bound for the Sea of Okhotsk and partly bound for Kodia. Master B. mentioned that 30 whalers in the Sea of Okhotsk near St. Jones caught an average of eacht 8 whales. The season in the Artic was more backward than the past season. There were no disasers but a complete ‘backing out’ of the icy regions.
