This is whale-watching season in Lahaina, when stars come out in all their brilliance and put on such splendid show for our defanged eyes - important link. I boarded a boat, full of high hopes that these marvellous animals with eventually come into sight. Even as we sat sail, Ben our guide said a few words about how a humpback whale makes two such journeys home from Alaska. Because, as everyone knows, this is where Lahaina can bear chittering waterborne babes, and find a life partner. "Three thousand miles "—in answer to a question I put to Ben on the subject.

On deck, the loudspeakers keep feeding-in whale songs. "DOR is delightful!" said Ben, "these notes are a sort of combined lullaby gossip. It is as if the ocean were a mystic dance. And what a far-out thing it is to be listening to the same tunes that contended down billy mill between little whales first ever still could sing!
