before the giant creature took one of his rescuers on a wild ride Lifeguard Lt John Lorentzen said he watched from the lifeguard vessel Cabrillo Watch as his partner Shelly Butler cut the whale loose from a bundle of rope wrapped around its tail during 15-minute rescue operation near Los Angeles Harbor Butler 35 wearing a wet suit and scuba tank was dragged as deep as 30 feet below the surface as he tried to cut the rope about six feet from the tail of the whale as it thrashed about trying to free itself' started a pretty violent kicking action that I wanted no part Butler said want to scare him or scare myself I just wanted to finish the job" Lorentzen scanning the surface for bubbles from his air tank said he was afraid the whale would entangle Butler in the ropes and drag him out to

his $3500 gill net made only $25 this said Russo got only seven halibut survival man tough Russo quickly pointed out how lucky the whale was to have run into a lifeguard not a fisherman all this going
