“It is called Old Tom, the killer,” George said as he ran ahead of me. _I_n__ the distance we could see that something was happening. As we _d_r_e_w__ (draw) nearer, I could see a whale_b_e_i_n_g_a_t_t_a_c_k_e_d_ by a _p_a_c_k_ of about six killers. Being badly wounded, the whale soon died. Very soon, its body was _d_r_a_g_g_e_d_ by the killers down into the _d_e_p_t_h_s_ of the sea.
