sentences:  In the mid-1930s, the 900-ton steam-schooner "California", of the California Whaling Company, would anchor in Paradise Cove about a mile offshore, near Point Dume, and process whales caught by her two "killer boats", the "Hawk" and "Port Saunders".She spent about four months there each winter (December–April), mostly flensing gray whales on their annual migration from Alaska to Baja California and back.Emerson Gaze, a reporter who spent a day with the fleet, said they had caught over fifty whales up to late January 1936, nearly all gray (with the exception of a few humpback and sperm whales).
