According to the National Post, the rescue team created a special water pump made of glue, pumps and sprinklers available on board. They spend hours spraying whales on their whales and putting wet blankets on them to prevent them from becoming dehydrated.
The fish was initially frightened when the members approached but then gradually calmed down because they noticed people trying to help. A member of the rescue team, Marven Robinson, said the great sea mammal cried out in relief when the first blanket was covered.
"I am thirsty and have a thirst to drink first. 'Ahhh!' The whale cries, relieved, " he said.

Rescue efforts remained for nearly 9 hours until the tide surged enough for whales to free themselves. Without tides, scientists said, trying to push the whale away from the rock would cause it to be injured and peeled when rubbed against sharp rocky outcrops.
"Whale whining in pain caused us great pain. But by the time of the tide, it made many happy screams because it was finally freed, " wrote Whale Point's environmental group. On Facebook.
The tide rose at 16:00 on the same day, the shallow whale took 45 minutes to escape the rock. A group of whales waiting in the sea, seemingly waiting for members to get stuck.

Scientist Hermann Meuter was one of the first to be at the scene. He said it seemed that the whale was trying to chase a seal that made it swim deep into the shore and ran aground at low tide. About a dozen seals gathered around the area of whale whale and made a sound like mocking the predator.
