The greenish glow steadily grew... and in the spyglass, became resolved. It was an iceberg.
Captain Halvorsen decided to consult one of the most learned of all the ship's complement...
"Jansen... of the entire crew, you have the best, specialized education in the Sciences... Yes?"
"Perhaps, Captain... But I'm not an expert, by any means... But, I will help if I can."
"Yes, yes... Please... Look thru my spyglass here... Tell me what you see?"
Jansen did as requested... He gave a low whistle, before talking.
"My, my... This is the oddest phenomenon I have yet to see... Stranger still than many mysteries I've read of as well."
Suddenly... the weird humming sound, from a distance... returned. It seemed to be from the sea... and all around!
Thrum... Thrum... Thruuuummmmm!
"My god... Jansen, what do you make of that... that...Noise!"
"Mysterious... Just like the green-glowing berg. I cannot hazard any guess... as to either."
Just then, something broke thru the surface of the sea nearby...
A pod of whales. They seemed to be drawn toward the greenish iceberg.
They actually were swimming in its general direction. Like a homing beacon!
