| Summary: | jumper n In late August and September, jumpers, harbour porpoise, and grumpus appeared around the coastal islands where families were camped. If people saw a jumper while they were cod fishing, there would be excited screams and yells. Fishing was abandoned and everyone hunted the jumper (Joe Abel, Hopedale). Jumpers, as the bottlenose dolphin is called locally, usually travel in herds of ten or more together; they are difficult to hunt because they are fast swimmers and surface only for a very brief period to breathe.
