Flanged 3 blue and 5 finn. Weather is no longer so nice now. It blows a part, and it is snetykke. For moment, we run full speed supposedly against "Cosmos 2". Last night we even saw a strange boat. It seems to belong to either "S. Empress” eller ”S. Princess”.

Flanged 4 blue and 4 finn. Today we resign 149 000 hold and 1360 whale. It is a very good message, especially now when it is so very poor whale. The boats have now been ordered to take 4 blue whales each, which probably will be the last. Next message would then be final message.

Flanged 3 blue and 8 finn. There must be a lot of fin whales here, but there is no size of them. Anyway we will manage between 16-1700 barrels each day.
