Yö valaskalan selässä / Friedrich Gerstäcker -- Tarina nykyajalta / Holger Drachmann -- Valtameren jättiläinen / Jonas Lie. Tapio Riikonen "Yö valaskalan selässä ja muita meriseikkailuja" by Friedrich Gerstäcker, Holger Drachmann, and Jonas Lie is a collection of maritime adventure stories written in the early 20th century. The tales revolve around the lives and experiences of sailors, primarily focusing on whaling and the tumultuous events at sea. The opening portion introduces readers to the thrilling and dangerous world of whalers hunting sperm whales in the equatorial seas, highlighting both the excitement and peril that comes with such adventures. At the start of the narrative, we find ourselves aboard the English whaling ship "Harold King," which is on a quest to hunt for sperm whales near the Kingmills Islands. The crew, after months of searching without success, is met with both frustration and anticipation as signals from the lookout indicate a potential sighting of whales. The tension mounts as the sailors prepare to lower the whaleboats, racing to claim the first catch. However, just as excitement peaks, one of their boats goes missing during the fray, leading to a desperate search for their lost comrades amidst the chaos of hunting the monstrous sperm whale that tests the limits of their courage and determination.
