"In mid-August, we arrived at Great Whale Island and witnessed the magnificent sight of herds of giant whales! The smaller North Sea whales and killer whales are only half the length of a longship, with peculiar white patterns, like sea spirits. The slightly larger fin whales (humpback whales) and gray whales have wide-spread wings and long protruding mouths, resembling Eagle Warriors of the sea... Chief Divine! The most majestic of all is a kind of large-headed giant whale (sperm whale)! They are much longer than an entire longship, like mountains drifting in the sea, easily capable of capsizing a large ship!... Divine protection! Fortunately, these large-headed whales' disposition is much gentler than the terrifying giant beasts of myth in the Black Abyss. At most, they accompany the longship out of curiosity for a while, splashing water sky-high, and turning away in boredom..."
