It lasted 110 days or over 10,000 nautical miles, and the cat-and-mouse pursuit spanned miles and miles of ocean space, from the Antarctic waters to the west of Africa. Long fugitive chases often last hours. This one, on the other hand, took more than two months. The predator was just as obstinate as the prey.
