melville
call
me
ishmael
some
years
ago
never
mind
how
long
precisely
having
little
or
no
money
in
my
purse
and
nothing
particular
to
interest
me
on
shore
i
thought
i
would
sail
about
a
little
and
see
the
watery
part
of
the
world
it
is
a
way
i
have
of
driving
off
the
spleen
and
regulating
the
circulation
whenever
i
find
myself
growing
grim
about
the
mouth
whenever
it
is
a
damp
drizzly
november
in
my
soul
whenever
i
find
myself
involuntarily
pausing
before
coffin
warehouses
and
bringing
up
the
rear
of
every
funeral
i
meet
and
especially
whenever
my
hypos
get
such
an
upper
hand
of
me
that
it
requires
a
strong
moral
principle
to
prevent
me
from
deliberately
stepping
into
the
street
and
methodically
knocking
peoples
hats
off
then
i
account
it
high
time
to
get
to
sea
as
soon
as
i
can
this
is
my
substitute
for
pistol
and
ball
with
a
philosophical
flourish
cato
throws
himself
upon
his
sword
i
quietly
take
to
the
ship
there
is
nothing
surprising
in
this
if
they
but
knew
it
almost
all
men
in
their
degree
some
time
or
other
cherish
very
nearly
the
same
feelings
towards
the
ocean
with
me
there
now
is
your
insular
city
of
the
manhattoes
belted
round
by
wharves
as
indian
isles
by
coral
reefs
commerce
surrounds
it
with
her
surf
right
and
left
the
streets
take
you
waterward
its
extreme
down
town
is
the
battery
where
that
noble
mole
is
washed
by
waves
and
cooled
by
breezes
which
a
few
hours
previous
were
out
of
sight
of
land
look
at
the
crowds
of
water
gazers
there
circumambulate
the
city
of
a
dreamy
sabbath
afternoon
go
from
corlears
hook
to
coenties
slip
and
from
thence
by
whitehall
northward
what
do
you
see
posted
like
silent
sentinels
all
around
the
town
stand
thousands
upon
thousands
of
mortal
men
fixed
in
ocean
reveries
some
leaning
against
the
spiles
some
seated
upon
the
pier
heads
some
looking
over
the
bulwarks
glasses
of
ships
from
china
some
high
aloft
in
the
rigging
as
if
striving
to
get
a
still
better
seaward
peep
but
these
are
all
landsmen
of
week
days
pent
up
in
lath
and
plaster
tied
to
counters
nailed
to
benches
clinched
to
desks
how
then
is
this
are
the
green
fields
gone
what
do
they
here
but
look
here
come
more
crowds
pacing
straight
for
the
water
and
seemingly
bound
for
a
dive
strange
nothing
will
content
them
but
the
extremest
limit
of
the
land
loitering
under
the
shady
lee
of
yonder
warehouses
will
not
suffice
no
they
must
get
just
as
nigh
the
water
as
they
possibly
can
without
falling
in
and
there
they
stand
miles
of
them
leagues
inlanders
all
they
come
from
lanes
and
alleys
streets
and
avenues
north
east
south
and
west
yet
here
they
all
unite
tell
me
does
the
magnetic
virtue
of
the
needles
of
the
compasses
of
all
those
ships
attract
them
thither
once
more
say
you
are
in
the
country
in
some
high
land
of
lakes
take
almost
any
path
you
please
and
ten
to
one
it
carries
you
down
in
a
dale
and
leaves
you
there
by
a
pool
in
the
stream
there
is
magic
in
it
let
the
most
absent
minded
of
men
be
plunged
in
his
deepest
reveries
stand
that
man
on
his
legs
set
his
feet
a
going
and
he
will
infallibly
lead
you
to
water
if
water
there
be
in
all
that
region
should
you
ever
be
athirst
in
the
great
american
desert
try
this
experiment
if
your
caravan
happen
to
be
supplied
with
a
metaphysical
professor
yes
as
every
one
knows
meditation
and
water
are
wedded
for
ever
but
here
is
an
artist
he
desires
to
paint
you
the
dreamiest
shadiest
quietest
most
enchanting
bit
of
romantic
landscape
in
all
the
valley
of
the
saco
what
is
the
chief
element
he
employs
there
stand
his
trees
each
with
a
hollow
trunk
as
if
a
hermit
and
a
crucifix
were
within
and
here
sleeps
his
meadow
and
there
sleep
his
cattle
and
up
from
yonder
cottage
goes
a
sleepy
smoke
deep
into
distant
woodlands
winds
a
mazy
way
reaching
to
overlapping
spurs
of
mountains
bathed
in
their
hill
side
blue
but
though
the
picture
lies
thus
tranced
and
though
this
pine
tree
shakes
down
its
sighs
like
leaves
upon
this
shepherds
head
yet
all
were
vain
unless
the
shepherds
eye
were
fixed
upon
the
magic
stream
before
him
go
visit
the
prairies
in
june
when
for
scores
on
scores
of
miles
you
wade
knee
deep
among
tiger
lilies
what
is
the
one
charm
wanting
water
there
is
not
a
drop
of
water
there
were
niagara
but
a
cataract
of
sand
would
you
travel
your
thousand
miles
to
see
it
why
did
the
poor
poet
of
tennessee
upon
suddenly
receiving
two
handfuls
of
silver
deliberate
whether
to
buy
him
a
coat
which
he
sadly
needed
or
invest
his
money
in
a
pedestrian
trip
to
rockaway
beach
why
is
almost
every
robust
healthy
boy
with
a
robust
healthy
soul
in
him
at
some
time
or
other
crazy
to
go
to
sea
why
upon
your
first
voyage
as
a
passenger
did
you
yourself
feel
such
a
mystical
vibration
when
first
told
that
you
and
your
ship
were
now
out
of
sight
of
land
why
did
the
old
persians
hold
the
sea
holy
why
did
the
greeks
give
it
a
separate
deity
and
own
brother
of
jove
surely
all
this
is
not
without
meaning
and
still
deeper
the
meaning
of
that
story
of
narcissus
who
because
he
could
not
grasp
the
tormenting
mild
image
he
saw
in
the
fountain
plunged
into
it
and
was
drowned
but
that
same
image
we
ourselves
see
in
all
rivers
and
oceans
it
is
the
image
of
the
ungraspable
phantom
of
life
and
this
is
the
key
to
it
all
now
when
i
say
that
i
am
in
the
habit
of
going
to
sea
whenever
i
begin
to
grow
hazy
about
the
eyes
and
begin
to
be
over
conscious
of
my
lungs
i
do
not
mean
to
have
it
inferred
that
i
ever
go
to
sea
as
a
passenger
for
to
go
as
a
passenger
you
must
needs
have
a
purse
and
a
purse
is
but
a
rag
unless
you
have
something
in
it
besides
passengers
get
sea
sick
grow
quarrelsome
dont
sleep
of
nights
do
not
enjoy
themselves
much
as
a
general
thing
no
i
never
go
as
a
passenger
nor
though
i
am
something
of
a
salt
do
i
ever
go
to
sea
as
a
commodore
or
a
captain
or
a
cook
i
abandon
the
glory
and
distinction
of
such
offices
to
those
who
like
them
for
my
part
i
abominate
all
honorable
respectable
toils
trials
and
tribulations
of
every
kind
whatsoever
it
is
quite
as
much
as
i
can
do
to
take
care
of
myself
without
taking
care
of
ships
barques
brigs
schooners
and
what
not
and
as
for
going
as
cook
though
i
confess
there
is
considerable
glory
in
that
a
cook
being
a
sort
of
officer
on
ship
board
yet
somehow
i
never
fancied
broiling
fowls
though
once
broiled
judiciously
buttered
and
judgmatically
salted
and
peppered
there
is
no
one
who
will
speak
more
respectfully
not
to
say
reverentially
of
a
broiled
fowl
than
i
will
it
is
out
of
the
idolatrous
dotings
of
the
old
egyptians
upon
broiled
ibis
and
roasted
river
horse
that
you
see
the
mummies
of
those
creatures
in
their
huge
bake
houses
the
pyramids
no
when
i
go
to
sea
i
go
as
a
simple
sailor
right
before
the
mast
plumb
down
into
the
forecastle
aloft
there
to
the
royal
mast
head
true
they
rather
order
me
about
some
and
make
me
jump
from
spar
to
spar
like
a
grasshopper
in
a
may
meadow
and
at
first
this
sort
of
thing
is
unpleasant
enough
it
touches
ones
sense
of
honor
particularly
if
you
come
of
an
old
established
family
in
the
land
the
van
rensselaers
or
randolphs
or
hardicanutes
and
more
than
all
if
just
previous
to
putting
your
hand
into
the
tar
pot
you
have
been
lording
it
as
a
country
schoolmaster
making
the
tallest
boys
stand
in
awe
of
you
the
transition
is
a
keen
one
i
assure
you
from
the
schoolmaster
to
a
sailor
and
requires
a
strong
decoction
of
seneca
and
the
stoics
to
enable
you
to
grin
and
bear
it
but
even
this
wears
off
in
time
what
of
it
if
some
old
hunks
of
a
sea
captain
orders
me
to
get
a
broom
and
sweep
down
the
decks
what
does
that
indignity
amount
to
weighed
i
mean
in
the
scales
of
the
new
testament
do
you
think
the
archangel
gabriel
thinks
anything
the
less
of
me
because
i
promptly
and
respectfully
obey
that
old
hunks
in
that
particular
instance
who
aint
a
slave
tell
me
that
well
then
however
the
old
sea
captains
may
order
me
about
however
they
may
thump
and
punch
me
about
i
have
the
satisfaction
of
knowing
that
it
is
all
right
that
everybody
else
is
one
way
or
other
served
in
much
the
same
way
either
in
a
physical
or
metaphysical
point
of
view
that
is
and
so
the
universal
thump
is
passed
round
and
all
hands
should
rub
each
others
shoulder
blades
and
be
content
again
i
always
go
to
sea
as
a
sailor
because
they
make
a
point
of
paying
me
for
my
trouble
whereas
they
never
pay
passengers
a
single
penny
that
i
ever
heard
of
on
the
contrary
passengers
themselves
must
pay
and
there
is
all
the
difference
in
the
world
between
paying
and
being
paid
the
act
of
paying
is
perhaps
the
most
uncomfortable
infliction
that
the
two
orchard
thieves
entailed
upon
us
but
being
paid
what
will
compare
with
it
the
urbane
activity
with
which
a
man
receives
money
is
really
marvellous
considering
that
we
so
earnestly
believe
money
to
be
the
root
of
all
earthly
ills
and
that
on
no
account
can
a
monied
man
enter
heaven
ah
how
cheerfully
we
consign
ourselves
to
perdition
finally
i
always
go
to
sea
as
a
sailor
because
of
the
wholesome
exercise
and
pure
air
of
the
forecastle
deck
for
as
in
this
world
head
winds
are
far
more
prevalent
than
winds
from
astern
that
is
if
you
never
violate
the
pythagorean
maxim
so
for
the
most
part
the
commodore
on
the
quarter
deck
gets
his
atmosphere
at
second
hand
from
the
sailors
on
the
forecastle
he
thinks
he
breathes
it
first
but
not
so
in
much
the
same
way
do
the
commonalty
lead
their
leaders
in
many
other
things
at
the
same
time
that
the
leaders
little
suspect
it
but
wherefore
it
was
that
after
having
repeatedly
smelt
the
sea
as
a
merchant
sailor
i
should
now
take
it
into
my
head
to
go
on
a
whaling
voyage
this
the
invisible
police
officer
of
the
fates
who
has
the
constant
surveillance
of
me
and
secretly
dogs
me
and
influences
me
in
some
unaccountable
way
he
can
better
answer
than
any
one
else
and
doubtless
my
going
on
this
whaling
voyage
formed
part
of
the
grand
programme
of
providence
that
was
drawn
up
a
long
time
ago
it
came
in
as
a
sort
of
brief
interlude
and
solo
between
more
extensive
performances
i
take
it
that
this
part
of
the
bill
must
have
run
something
like
this
grand
contested
election
for
the
presidency
of
the
united
states
whaling
voyage
by
one
ishmael
bloody
battle
in
affghanistan
though
i
cannot
tell
why
it
was
exactly
that
those
stage
managers
the
fates
put
me
down
for
this
shabby
part
of
a
whaling
voyage
when
others
were
set
down
for
magnificent
parts
in
high
tragedies
and
short
and
easy
parts
in
genteel
comedies
and
jolly
parts
in
farces
though
i
cannot
tell
why
this
was
exactly
yet
now
that
i
recall
all
the
circumstances
i
think
i
can
see
a
little
into
the
springs
and
motives
which
being
cunningly
presented
to
me
under
various
disguises
induced
me
to
set
about
performing
the
part
i
did
besides
cajoling
me
into
the
delusion
that
it
was
a
choice
resulting
from
my
own
unbiased
freewill
and
discriminating
judgment
chief
among
these
motives
was
the
overwhelming
idea
of
the
great
whale
himself
such
a
portentous
and
mysterious
monster
roused
all
my
curiosity
then
the
wild
and
distant
seas
where
he
rolled
his
island
bulk
the
undeliverable
nameless
perils
of
the
whale
these
with
all
the
attending
marvels
of
a
thousand
patagonian
sights
and
sounds
helped
to
sway
me
to
my
wish
with
other
men
perhaps
such
things
would
not
have
been
inducements
but
as
for
me
i
am
tormented
with
an
everlasting
itch
for
things
remote
i
love
to
sail
forbidden
seas
and
land
on
barbarous
coasts
not
ignoring
what
is
good
i
am
quick
to
perceive
a
horror
and
could
still
be
social
with
it
would
they
let
me
since
it
is
but
well
to
be
on
friendly
terms
with
all
the
inmates
of
the
place
one
lodges
in
by
reason
of
these
things
then
the
whaling
voyage
was
welcome
the
great
flood
gates
of
the
wonder
world
swung
open
and
in
the
wild
conceits
that
swayed
me
to
my
purpose
two
and
two
there
floated
into
my
inmost
soul
endless
processions
of
the
whale
and
mid
most
of
them
all
one
grand
hooded
phantom
like
a
snow
hill
in
the
air
i
stuffed
a
shirt
or
two
into
my
old
carpet
bag
tucked
it
under
my
arm
and
started
for
cape
horn
and
the
pacific
quitting
the
good
city
of
old
manhatto
i
duly
arrived
in
new
bedford
it
was
on
a
saturday
night
in
december
much
was
i
disappointed
upon
learning
that
the
little
packet
for
nantucket
had
already
sailed
and
that
no
way
of
reaching
that
place
would
offer
till
the
following
monday
as
most
young
candidates
for
the
pains
and
penalties
of
whaling
stop
at
this
same
new
bedford
thence
to
embark
on
their
voyage
it
may
as
well
be
related
that
i
for
one
had
no
idea
of
so
doing
for
my
mind
was
made
up
to
sail
in
no
other
than
a
nantucket
craft
because
there
was
a
fine
boisterous
something
about
everything
connected
with
that
famous
old
island
which
amazingly
pleased
me
besides
though
new
bedford
has
of
late
been
gradually
monopolizing
the
business
of
whaling
and
though
in
this
matter
poor
old
nantucket
is
now
much
behind
her
yet
nantucket
was
her
great
original
the
tyre
of
this
carthage
the
place
where
the
first
dead
american
whale
was
stranded
where
else
but
from
nantucket
did
those
aboriginal
whalemen
the
red
men
first
sally
out
in
canoes
to
give
chase
to
the
leviathan
and
where
but
from
nantucket
too
did
that
first
adventurous
little
sloop
put
forth
partly
laden
with
imported
cobble
stones
so
goes
the
story
to
throw
at
the
whales
in
order
to
discover
when
they
were
nigh
enough
to
risk
a
harpoon
from
the
bowsprit
now
having
a
night
a
day
and
still
another
night
following
before
me
in
new
bedford
ere
i
could
embark
for
my
destined
port
it
became
a
matter
of
concernment
where
i
was
to
eat
and
sleep
meanwhile
it
was
a
very
dubious
looking
nay
a
very
dark
and
dismal
night
bitingly
cold
and
cheerless
i
knew
no
one
in
the
place
with
anxious
grapnels
i
had
sounded
my
pocket
and
only
brought
up
a
few
pieces
of
silver
so
wherever
you
go
ishmael
said
i
to
myself
as
i
stood
in
the
middle
of
a
dreary
street
shouldering
my
bag
and
comparing
the
gloom
towards
the
north
with
the
darkness
towards
the
south
wherever
in
your
wisdom
you
may
conclude
to
lodge
for
the
night
my
dear
ishmael
be
sure
to
inquire
the
price
and
dont
be
too
particular
with
halting
steps
i
paced
the
streets
and
passed
the
sign
of
the
crossed
harpoons
but
it
looked
too
expensive
and
jolly
there
further
on
from
the
bright
red
windows
of
the
sword
fish
inn
there
came
such
fervent
rays
that
it
seemed
to
have
melted
the
packed
snow
and
ice
from
before
the
house
for
everywhere
else
the
congealed
frost
lay
ten
inches
thick
in
a
hard
asphaltic
pavement
rather
weary
for
me
when
i
struck
my
foot
against
the
flinty
projections
because
from
hard
remorseless
service
the
soles
of
my
boots
were
in
a
most
miserable
plight
too
expensive
and
jolly
again
thought
i
pausing
one
moment
to
watch
the
broad
glare
in
the
street
and
hear
the
sounds
of
the
tinkling
glasses
within
but
go
on
ishmael
said
i
at
last
dont
you
hear
get
away
from
before
the
door
your
patched
boots
are
stopping
the
way
so
on
i
went
i
now
by
instinct
followed
the
streets
that
took
me
waterward
for
there
doubtless
were
the
cheapest
if
not
the
cheeriest
inns
such
dreary
streets
blocks
of
blackness
not
houses
on
either
hand
and
here
and
there
a
candle
like
a
candle
moving
about
in
a
tomb
at
this
hour
of
the
night
of
the
last
day
of
the
week
that
quarter
of
the
town
proved
all
but
deserted
but
presently
i
came
to
a
smoky
light
proceeding
from
a
low
wide
building
the
door
of
which
stood
invitingly
open
it
had
a
careless
look
as
if
it
were
meant
for
the
uses
of
the
public
so
entering
the
first
thing
i
did
was
to
stumble
over
an
ash
box
in
the
porch
ha
thought
i
ha
as
the
flying
particles
almost
choked
me
are
these
ashes
from
that
destroyed
city
gomorrah
but
the
crossed
harpoons
and
the
sword
fish
this
then
must
needs
be
the
sign
of
the
trap
however
i
picked
myself
up
and
hearing
a
loud
voice
within
pushed
on
and
opened
a
second
interior
door
it
seemed
the
great
black
parliament
sitting
in
tophet
a
hundred
black
faces
turned
round
in
their
rows
to
peer
and
beyond
a
black
angel
of
doom
was
beating
a
book
in
a
pulpit
it
was
a
negro
church
and
the
preachers
text
was
about
the
blackness
of
darkness
and
the
weeping
and
wailing
and
teeth
gnashing
there
ha
ishmael
muttered
i
backing
out
wretched
entertainment
at
the
sign
of
the
trap
moving
on
i
at
last
came
to
a
dim
sort
of
light
not
far
from
the
docks
and
heard
a
forlorn
creaking
in
the
air
and
looking
up
saw
a
swinging
sign
over
the
door
with
a
white
painting
upon
it
faintly
representing
a
tall
straight
jet
of
misty
spray
and
these
words
underneath
the
spouter
inn
peter
coffin
coffin
spouter
rather
ominous
in
that
particular
connexion
thought
i
but
it
is
a
common
name
in
nantucket
they
say
and
i
suppose
this
peter
here
is
an
emigrant
from
there
as
the
light
looked
so
dim
and
the
place
for
the
time
looked
quiet
enough
and
the
dilapidated
little
wooden
house
itself
looked
as
if
it
might
have
been
carted
here
from
the
ruins
of
some
burnt
district
and
as
the
swinging
sign
had
a
poverty
stricken
sort
of
creak
to
it
i
thought
that
here
was
the
very
spot
for
cheap
lodgings
and
the
best
of
pea
coffee
it
was
a
queer
sort
of
place
a
gable
ended
old
house
one
side
palsied
as
it
were
and
leaning
over
sadly
it
stood
on
a
sharp
bleak
corner
where
that
tempestuous
wind
euroclydon
kept
up
a
worse
howling
than
ever
it
did
about
poor
pauls
tossed
craft
euroclydon
nevertheless
is
a
mighty
pleasant
zephyr
to
any
one
in
doors
with
his
feet
on
the
hob
quietly
toasting
for
bed
in
judging
of
that
tempestuous
wind
called
euroclydon
says
an
old
writer
of
whose
works
i
possess
the
only
copy
extant
it
maketh
a
marvellous
difference
whether
thou
lookest
out
at
it
from
a
glass
window
where
the
frost
is
all
on
the
outside
or
whether
thou
observest
it
from
that
sashless
window
where
the
frost
is
on
both
sides
and
of
which
the
wight
death
is
the
only
glazier
true
enough
thought
i
as
this
passage
occurred
to
my
mind
old
black
letter
thou
reasonest
well
yes
these
eyes
are
windows
and
this
body
of
mine
is
the
house
what
a
pity
they
didnt
stop
up
the
chinks
and
the
crannies
though
and
thrust
in
a
little
lint
here
and
there
but
its
too
late
to
make
any
improvements
now
the
universe
is
finished
the
copestone
is
on
and
the
chips
were
carted
off
a
million
years
ago
poor
lazarus
there
chattering
his
teeth
against
the
curbstone
for
his
pillow
and
shaking
off
his
tatters
with
his
shiverings
he
might
plug
up
both
ears
with
rags
and
put
a
corn
cob
into
his
mouth
and
yet
that
would
not
keep
out
the
tempestuous
euroclydon
euroclydon
says
old
dives
in
his
red
silken
wrapper
he
had
a
redder
one
afterwards
pooh
pooh
what
a
fine
frosty
night
how
orion
glitters
what
northern
lights
let
them
talk
of
their
oriental
summer
climes
of
everlasting
conservatories
give
me
the
privilege
of
making
my
own
summer
with
my
own
coals
but
what
thinks
lazarus
can
he
warm
his
blue
hands
by
holding
them
up
to
the
grand
northern
lights
would
not
lazarus
rather
be
in
sumatra
than
here
would
he
not
far
rather
lay
him
down
lengthwise
along
the
line
of
the
equator
yea
ye
gods
go
down
to
the
fiery
pit
itself
in
order
to
keep
out
this
frost
now
that
lazarus
should
lie
stranded
there
on
the
curbstone
before
the
door
of
dives
this
is
more
wonderful
than
that
an
iceberg
should
be
moored
to
one
of
the
moluccas
yet
dives
himself
he
too
lives
like
a
czar
in
an
ice
palace
made
of
frozen
sighs
and
being
a
president
of
a
temperance
society
he
only
drinks
the
tepid
tears
of
orphans
but
no
more
of
this
blubbering
now
we
are
going
a
whaling
and
there
is
plenty
of
that
yet
to
come
let
us
scrape
the
ice
from
our
frosted
feet
and
see
what
sort
of
a
place
this
spouter
may
be
entering
that
gable
ended
spouter
inn
you
found
yourself
in
a
wide
low
straggling
entry
with
old
fashioned
wainscots
reminding
one
of
the
bulwarks
of
some
condemned
old
craft
on
one
side
hung
a
very
large
oil
painting
so
thoroughly
besmoked
and
every
way
defaced
that
in
the
unequal
cross
lights
by
which
you
viewed
it
it
was
only
by
diligent
study
and
a
series
of
systematic
visits
to
it
and
careful
inquiry
of
the
neighbors
that
you
could
any
way
arrive
at
an
understanding
of
its
purpose
such
unaccountable
masses
of
shades
and
shadows
that
at
first
you
almost
thought
some
ambitious
young
artist
in
the
time
of
the
new
england
hags
had
endeavored
to
delineate
chaos
bewitched
but
by
dint
of
much
and
earnest
contemplation
and
oft
repeated
ponderings
and
especially
by
throwing
open
the
little
window
towards
the
back
of
the
entry
you
at
last
come
to
the
conclusion
that
such
an
idea
however
wild
might
not
be
altogether
unwarranted
but
what
most
puzzled
and
confounded
you
was
a
long
limber
portentous
black
mass
of
something
hovering
in
the
centre
of
the
picture
over
three
blue
dim
perpendicular
lines
floating
in
a
nameless
yeast
a
boggy
soggy
squitchy
picture
truly
enough
to
drive
a
nervous
man
distracted
yet
was
there
a
sort
of
indefinite
half
attained
unimaginable
sublimity
about
it
that
fairly
froze
you
to
it
till
you
involuntarily
took
an
oath
with
yourself
to
find
out
what
that
marvellous
painting
meant
ever
and
anon
a
bright
but
alas
deceptive
idea
would
dart
you
through
its
the
black
sea
in
a
midnight
gale
its
the
unnatural
combat
of
the
four
primal
elements
its
a
blasted
heath
its
a
hyperborean
winter
scene
its
the
breaking
up
of
the
ice
bound
stream
of
time
but
at
last
all
these
fancies
yielded
to
that
one
portentous
something
in
the
pictures
midst
that
once
found
out
and
all
the
rest
were
plain
but
stop
does
it
not
bear
a
faint
resemblance
to
a
gigantic
fish
even
the
great
leviathan
himself
in
fact
the
artists
design
seemed
this
a
final
theory
of
my
own
partly
based
upon
the
aggregated
opinions
of
many
aged
persons
with
whom
i
conversed
upon
the
subject
the
picture
represents
a
cape
horner
in
a
great
hurricane
the
half
foundered
ship
weltering
there
with
its
three
dismantled
masts
alone
visible
and
an
exasperated
whale
purposing
to
spring
clean
over
the
craft
is
in
the
enormous
act
of
impaling
himself
upon
the
three
mast
heads
the
opposite
wall
of
this
entry
was
hung
all
over
with
a
heathenish
array
of
monstrous
clubs
and
spears
some
were
thickly
set
with
glittering
teeth
resembling
ivory
saws
others
were
tufted
with
knots
of
human
hair
and
one
was
sickle
shaped
with
a
vast
handle
sweeping
round
like
the
segment
made
in
the
new
mown
grass
by
a
long
armed
mower
you
shuddered
as
you
gazed
and
wondered
what
monstrous
cannibal
and
savage
could
ever
have
gone
a
death
harvesting
with
such
a
hacking
horrifying
implement
mixed
with
these
were
rusty
old
whaling
lances
and
harpoons
all
broken
and
deformed
some
were
storied
weapons
with
this
once
long
lance
now
wildly
elbowed
fifty
years
ago
did
nathan
swain
kill
fifteen
whales
between
a
sunrise
and
a
sunset
and
that
harpoon
so
like
a
corkscrew
now
was
flung
in
javan
seas
and
run
away
with
by
a
whale
years
afterward
slain
off
the
cape
of
blanco
the
original
iron
entered
nigh
the
tail
and
like
a
restless
needle
sojourning
in
the
body
of
a
man
travelled
full
forty
feet
and
at
last
was
found
imbedded
in
the
hump
crossing
this
dusky
entry
and
on
through
yon
low
arched
way
cut
through
what
in
old
times
must
have
been
a
great
central
chimney
with
fire
places
all
round
you
enter
the
public
room
a
still
duskier
place
is
this
with
such
low
ponderous
beams
above
and
such
old
wrinkled
planks
beneath
that
you
would
almost
fancy
you
trod
some
old
crafts
cockpits
especially
of
such
a
howling
night
when
this
corner
anchored
old
ark
rocked
so
furiously
on
one
side
stood
a
long
low
shelf
like
table
covered
with
cracked
glass
cases
filled
with
dusty
rarities
gathered
from
this
wide
worlds
remotest
nooks
projecting
from
the
further
angle
of
the
room
stands
a
dark
looking
den
the
bar
a
rude
attempt
at
a
right
whales
head
be
that
how
it
may
there
stands
the
vast
arched
bone
of
the
whales
jaw
so
wide
a
coach
might
almost
drive
beneath
it
within
are
shabby
shelves
ranged
round
with
old
decanters
bottles
flasks
and
in
those
jaws
of
swift
destruction
like
another
cursed
jonah
by
which
name
indeed
they
called
him
bustles
a
little
withered
old
man
who
for
their
money
dearly
sells
the
sailors
deliriums
and
death
abominable
are
the
tumblers
into
which
he
pours
his
poison
though
true
cylinders
without
within
the
villanous
green
goggling
glasses
deceitfully
tapered
downwards
to
a
cheating
bottom
parallel
meridians
rudely
pecked
into
the
glass
surround
these
footpads
goblets
fill
to
this
mark
and
your
charge
is
but
a
penny
to
this
a
penny
more
and
so
on
to
the
full
glass
the
cape
horn
measure
which
you
may
gulp
down
for
a
shilling
upon
entering
the
place
i
found
a
number
of
young
seamen
gathered
about
a
table
examining
by
a
dim
light
divers
specimens
of
skrimshander
i
sought
the
landlord
and
telling
him
i
desired
to
be
accommodated
with
a
room
received
for
answer
that
his
house
was
full
not
a
bed
unoccupied
but
avast
he
added
tapping
his
forehead
you
haint
no
objections
to
sharing
a
harpooneers
blanket
have
ye
i
spose
you
are
goin
a
whalin
so
youd
better
get
used
to
that
sort
of
thing
i
told
him
that
i
never
liked
to
sleep
two
in
a
bed
that
if
i
should
ever
do
so
it
would
depend
upon
who
the
harpooneer
might
be
and
that
if
he
the
landlord
really
had
no
other
place
for
me
and
the
harpooneer
was
not
decidedly
objectionable
why
rather
than
wander
further
about
a
strange
town
on
so
bitter
a
night
i
would
put
up
with
the
half
of
any
decent
mans
blanket
i
thought
so
all
right
take
a
seat
supper
you
want
supper
supper
ll
be
ready
directly
i
sat
down
on
an
old
wooden
settle
carved
all
over
like
a
bench
on
the
battery
at
one
end
a
ruminating
tar
was
still
further
adorning
it
with
his
jack
knife
stooping
over
and
diligently
working
away
at
the
space
between
his
legs
he
was
trying
his
hand
at
a
ship
under
full
sail
but
he
didnt
make
much
headway
i
thought
at
last
some
four
or
five
of
us
were
summoned
to
our
meal
in
an
adjoining
room
it
was
cold
as
iceland
no
fire
at
all
the
landlord
said
he
couldnt
afford
it
nothing
but
two
dismal
tallow
candles
each
in
a
winding
sheet
we
were
fain
to
button
up
our
monkey
jackets
and
hold
to
our
lips
cups
of
scalding
tea
with
our
half
frozen
fingers
but
the
fare
was
of
the
most
substantial
kind
not
only
meat
and
potatoes
but
dumplings
good
heavens
dumplings
for
supper
one
young
fellow
in
a
green
box
coat
addressed
himself
to
these
dumplings
in
a
most
direful
manner
my
boy
said
the
landlord
youll
have
the
nightmare
to
a
dead
sartainty
landlord
i
whispered
that
aint
the
harpooneer
is
it
oh
no
said
he
looking
a
sort
of
diabolically
funny
the
harpooneer
is
a
dark
complexioned
chap
he
never
eats
dumplings
he
dont
he
eats
nothing
but
steaks
and
likes
em
rare
the
devil
he
does
says
i
where
is
that
harpooneer
is
he
here
hell
be
here
afore
long
was
the
answer
i
could
not
help
it
but
i
began
to
feel
suspicious
of
this
dark
complexioned
harpooneer
at
any
rate
i
made
up
my
mind
that
if
it
so
turned
out
that
we
should
sleep
together
he
must
undress
and
get
into
bed
before
i
did
supper
over
the
company
went
back
to
the
bar
room
when
knowing
not
what
else
to
do
with
myself
i
resolved
to
spend
the
rest
of
the
evening
as
a
looker
on
presently
a
rioting
noise
was
heard
without
starting
up
the
landlord
cried
thats
the
grampuss
crew
i
seed
her
reported
in
the
offing
this
morning
a
three
years
voyage
and
a
full
ship
hurrah
boys
now
well
have
the
latest
news
from
the
feegees
a
tramping
of
sea
boots
was
heard
in
the
entry
the
door
was
flung
open
and
in
rolled
a
wild
set
of
mariners
enough
enveloped
in
their
shaggy
watch
coats
and
with
their
heads
muffled
in
woollen
comforters
all
bedarned
and
ragged
and
their
beards
stiff
with
icicles
they
seemed
an
eruption
of
bears
from
labrador
they
had
just
landed
from
their
boat
and
this
was
the
first
house
they
entered
no
wonder
then
that
they
made
a
straight
wake
for
the
whales
mouth
the
bar
when
the
wrinkled
little
old
jonah
there
officiating
soon
poured
them
out
brimmers
all
round
one
complained
of
a
bad
cold
in
his
head
upon
which
jonah
mixed
him
a
pitch
like
potion
of
gin
and
molasses
which
he
swore
was
a
sovereign
cure
for
all
colds
and
catarrhs
whatsoever
never
mind
of
how
long
standing
or
whether
caught
off
the
coast
of
labrador
or
on
the
weather
side
of
an
ice
island
the
liquor
soon
mounted
into
their
heads
as
it
generally
does
even
with
the
arrantest
topers
newly
landed
from
sea
and
they
began
capering
about
most
obstreperously
i
observed
however
that
one
of
them
held
somewhat
aloof
and
though
he
seemed
desirous
not
to
spoil
the
hilarity
of
his
shipmates
by
his
own
sober
face
yet
upon
the
whole
he
refrained
from
making
as
much
noise
as
the
rest
this
man
interested
me
at
once
and
since
the
sea
gods
had
ordained
that
he
should
soon
become
my
shipmate
though
but
a
sleeping
partner
one
so
far
as
this
narrative
is
concerned
i
will
here
venture
upon
a
little
description
of
him
he
stood
full
six
feet
in
height
with
noble
shoulders
and
a
chest
like
a
coffer
dam
i
have
seldom
seen
such
brawn
in
a
man
his
face
was
deeply
brown
and
burnt
making
his
white
teeth
dazzling
by
the
contrast
while
in
the
deep
shadows
of
his
eyes
floated
some
reminiscences
that
did
not
seem
to
give
him
much
joy
his
voice
at
once
announced
that
he
was
a
southerner
and
from
his
fine
stature
i
thought
he
must
be
one
of
those
tall
mountaineers
from
the
alleganian
ridge
in
virginia
when
the
revelry
of
his
companions
had
mounted
to
its
height
this
man
slipped
away
unobserved
and
i
saw
no
more
of
him
till
he
became
my
comrade
on
the
sea
in
a
few
minutes
however
he
was
missed
by
his
shipmates
and
being
it
seems
for
some
reason
a
huge
favorite
with
them
they
raised
a
cry
of
bulkington
bulkington
wheres
bulkington
and
darted
out
of
the
house
in
pursuit
of
him
it
was
now
about
nine
oclock
and
the
room
seeming
almost
supernaturally
quiet
after
these
orgies
i
began
to
congratulate
myself
upon
a
little
plan
that
had
occurred
to
me
just
previous
to
the
entrance
of
the
seamen
no
man
prefers
to
sleep
two
in
a
bed
in
fact
you
would
a
good
deal
rather
not
sleep
with
your
own
brother
i
dont
know
how
it
is
but
people
like
to
be
private
when
they
are
sleeping
and
when
it
comes
to
sleeping
with
an
unknown
stranger
in
a
strange
inn
in
a
strange
town
and
that
stranger
a
harpooneer
then
your
objections
indefinitely
multiply
nor
was
there
any
earthly
reason
why
i
as
a
sailor
should
sleep
two
in
a
bed
more
than
anybody
else
for
sailors
no
more
sleep
two
in
a
bed
at
sea
than
bachelor
kings
do
ashore
to
be
sure
they
all
sleep
together
in
one
apartment
but
you
have
your
own
hammock
and
cover
yourself
with
your
own
blanket
and
sleep
in
your
own
skin
the
more
i
pondered
over
this
harpooneer
the
more
i
abominated
the
thought
of
sleeping
with
him
it
was
fair
to
presume
that
being
a
harpooneer
his
linen
or
woollen
as
the
case
might
be
would
not
be
of
the
tidiest
certainly
none
of
the
finest
i
began
to
twitch
all
over
besides
it
was
getting
late
and
my
decent
harpooneer
ought
to
be
home
and
going
bedwards
suppose
now
he
should
tumble
in
upon
me
at
midnight
how
could
i
tell
from
what
vile
hole
he
had
been
coming
landlord
ive
changed
my
mind
about
that
harpooneer
i
shant
sleep
with
him
ill
try
the
bench
here
just
as
you
please
im
sorry
i
cant
spare
ye
a
tablecloth
for
a
mattress
and
its
a
plaguy
rough
board
here
feeling
of
the
knots
and
notches
but
wait
a
bit
skrimshander
ive
got
a
carpenters
plane
there
in
the
bar
wait
i
say
and
ill
make
ye
snug
enough
so
saying
he
procured
the
plane
and
with
his
old
silk
handkerchief
first
dusting
the
bench
vigorously
set
to
planing
away
at
my
bed
the
while
grinning
like
an
ape
the
shavings
flew
right
and
left
till
at
last
the
plane
iron
came
bump
against
an
indestructible
knot
the
landlord
was
near
spraining
his
wrist
and
i
told
him
for
heavens
sake
to
quit
the
bed
was
soft
enough
to
suit
me
and
i
did
not
know
how
all
the
planing
in
the
world
could
make
eider
down
of
a
pine
plank
so
gathering
up
the
shavings
with
another
grin
and
throwing
them
into
the
great
stove
in
the
middle
of
the
room
he
went
about
his
business
and
left
me
in
a
brown
study
i
now
took
the
measure
of
the
bench
and
found
that
it
was
a
foot
too
short
but
that
could
be
mended
with
a
chair
but
it
was
a
foot
too
narrow
and
the
other
bench
in
the
room
was
about
four
inches
higher
than
the
planed
one
so
there
was
no
yoking
them
i
then
placed
the
first
bench
lengthwise
along
the
only
clear
space
against
the
wall
leaving
a
little
interval
between
for
my
back
to
settle
down
in
but
i
soon
found
that
there
came
such
a
draught
of
cold
air
over
me
from
under
the
sill
of
the
window
that
this
plan
would
never
do
at
all
especially
as
another
current
from
the
rickety
door
met
the
one
from
the
window
and
both
together
formed
a
series
of
small
whirlwinds
in
the
immediate
vicinity
of
the
spot
where
i
had
thought
to
spend
the
night
the
devil
fetch
that
harpooneer
thought
i
but
stop
couldnt
i
steal
a
march
on
him
bolt
his
door
inside
and
jump
into
his
bed
not
to
be
wakened
by
the
most
violent
knockings
it
seemed
no
bad
idea
but
upon
second
thoughts
i
dismissed
it
for
who
could
tell
but
what
the
next
morning
so
soon
as
i
popped
out
of
the
room
the
harpooneer
might
be
standing
in
the
entry
all
ready
to
knock
me
down
still
looking
around
me
again
and
seeing
no
possible
chance
of
spending
a
sufferable
night
unless
in
some
other
persons
bed
i
began
to
think
that
after
all
i
might
be
cherishing
unwarrantable
prejudices
against
this
unknown
harpooneer
thinks
i
ill
wait
awhile
he
must
be
dropping
in
before
long
ill
have
a
good
look
at
him
then
and
perhaps
we
may
become
jolly
good
bedfellows
after
all
theres
no
telling
but
though
the
other
boarders
kept
coming
in
by
ones
twos
and
threes
and
going
to
bed
yet
no
sign
of
my
harpooneer
landlord
said
i
what
sort
of
a
chap
is
he
does
he
always
keep
such
late
hours
it
was
now
hard
upon
twelve
oclock
the
landlord
chuckled
again
with
his
lean
chuckle
and
seemed
to
be
mightily
tickled
at
something
beyond
my
comprehension
no
he
answered
generally
hes
an
early
bird
airley
to
bed
and
airley
to
rise
yes
hes
the
bird
what
catches
the
worm
but
to
night
he
went
out
a
peddling
you
see
and
i
dont
see
what
on
airth
keeps
him
so
late
unless
may
be
he
cant
sell
his
head
cant
sell
his
head
what
sort
of
a
bamboozingly
story
is
this
you
are
telling
me
getting
into
a
towering
rage
do
you
pretend
to
say
landlord
that
this
harpooneer
is
actually
engaged
this
blessed
saturday
night
or
rather
sunday
morning
in
peddling
his
head
around
this
town
thats
precisely
it
said
the
landlord
and
i
told
him
he
couldnt
sell
it
here
the
markets
overstocked
with
what
shouted
i
with
heads
to
be
sure
aint
there
too
many
heads
in
the
world
i
tell
you
what
it
is
landlord
said
i
quite
calmly
youd
better
stop
spinning
that
yarn
to
me
im
not
green
may
be
not
taking
out
a
stick
and
whittling
a
toothpick
but
i
rayther
guess
youll
be
done
brown
if
that
ere
harpooneer
hears
you
a
slanderin
his
head
ill
break
it
for
him
said
i
now
flying
into
a
passion
again
at
this
unaccountable
farrago
of
the
landlords
its
broke
aready
said
he
broke
said
i
broke
do
you
mean
sartain
and
thats
the
very
reason
he
cant
sell
it
i
guess
landlord
said
i
going
up
to
him
as
cool
as
mt
hecla
in
a
snow
storm
landlord
stop
whittling
you
and
i
must
understand
one
another
and
that
too
without
delay
i
come
to
your
house
and
want
a
bed
you
tell
me
you
can
only
give
me
half
a
one
that
the
other
half
belongs
to
a
certain
harpooneer
and
about
this
harpooneer
whom
i
have
not
yet
seen
you
persist
in
telling
me
the
most
mystifying
and
exasperating
stories
tending
to
beget
in
me
an
uncomfortable
feeling
towards
the
man
whom
you
design
for
my
bedfellow
a
sort
of
connexion
landlord
which
is
an
intimate
and
confidential
one
in
the
highest
degree
i
now
demand
of
you
to
speak
out
and
tell
me
who
and
what
this
harpooneer
is
and
whether
i
shall
be
in
all
respects
safe
to
spend
the
night
with
him
and
in
the
first
place
you
will
be
so
good
as
to
unsay
that
story
about
selling
his
head
which
if
true
i
take
to
be
good
evidence
that
this
harpooneer
is
stark
mad
and
ive
no
idea
of
sleeping
with
a
madman
and
you
sir
you
i
mean
landlord
you
sir
by
trying
to
induce
me
to
do
so
knowingly
would
thereby
render
yourself
liable
to
a
criminal
prosecution
wall
said
the
landlord
fetching
a
long
breath
thats
a
purty
long
sarmon
for
a
chap
that
rips
a
little
now
and
then
but
be
easy
be
easy
this
here
harpooneer
i
have
been
tellin
you
of
has
just
arrived
from
the
south
seas
where
he
bought
up
a
lot
of
balmed
new
zealand
heads
great
curios
you
know
and
hes
sold
all
on
em
but
one
and
that
one
hes
trying
to
sell
to
night
cause
to
morrows
sunday
and
it
would
not
do
to
be
sellin
human
heads
about
the
streets
when
folks
is
goin
to
churches
he
wanted
to
last
sunday
but
i
stopped
him
just
as
he
was
goin
out
of
the
door
with
four
heads
strung
on
a
string
for
all
the
airth
like
a
string
of
inions
this
account
cleared
up
the
otherwise
unaccountable
mystery
and
showed
that
the
landlord
after
all
had
had
no
idea
of
fooling
me
but
at
the
same
time
what
could
i
think
of
a
harpooneer
who
stayed
out
a
saturday
night
clean
into
the
holy
sabbath
engaged
in
such
a
cannibal
business
as
selling
the
heads
of
dead
idolators
depend
upon
it
landlord
that
harpooneer
is
a
dangerous
man
he
pays
reglar
was
the
rejoinder
but
come
its
getting
dreadful
late
you
had
better
be
turning
flukes
its
a
nice
bed
sal
and
me
slept
in
that
ere
bed
the
night
we
were
spliced
theres
plenty
room
for
two
to
kick
about
in
that
bed
its
an
almighty
big
bed
that
why
afore
we
give
it
up
sal
used
to
put
our
sam
and
little
johnny
in
the
foot
of
it
but
i
got
a
dreaming
and
sprawling
about
one
night
and
somehow
sam
got
pitched
on
the
floor
and
came
near
breaking
his
arm
after
that
sal
said
it
wouldnt
do
come
along
here
ill
give
ye
a
glim
in
a
jiffy
and
so
saying
he
lighted
a
candle
and
held
it
towards
me
offering
to
lead
the
way
but
i
stood
irresolute
when
looking
at
a
clock
in
the
corner
he
exclaimed
i
vum
its
sunday
you
wont
see
that
harpooneer
to
night
hes
come
to
anchor
somewhere
come
along
then
do
come
wont
ye
come
i
considered
the
matter
a
moment
and
then
up
stairs
we
went
and
i
was
ushered
into
a
small
room
cold
as
a
clam
and
furnished
sure
enough
with
a
prodigious
bed
almost
big
enough
indeed
for
any
four
harpooneers
to
sleep
abreast
there
said
the
landlord
placing
the
candle
on
a
crazy
old
sea
chest
that
did
double
duty
as
a
wash
stand
and
centre
table
there
make
yourself
comfortable
now
and
good
night
to
ye
i
turned
round
from
eyeing
the
bed
but
he
had
disappeared
folding
back
the
counterpane
i
stooped
over
the
bed
though
none
of
the
most
elegant
it
yet
stood
the
scrutiny
tolerably
well
i
then
glanced
round
the
room
and
besides
the
bedstead
and
centre
table
could
see
no
other
furniture
belonging
to
the
place
but
a
rude
shelf
the
four
walls
and
a
papered
fireboard
representing
a
man
striking
a
whale
of
things
not
properly
belonging
to
the
room
there
was
a
hammock
lashed
up
and
thrown
upon
the
floor
in
one
corner
also
a
large
seamans
bag
containing
the
harpooneers
wardrobe
no
doubt
in
lieu
of
a
land
trunk
likewise
there
was
a
parcel
of
outlandish
bone
fish
hooks
on
the
shelf
over
the
fire
place
and
a
tall
harpoon
standing
at
the
head
of
the
bed
but
what
is
this
on
the
chest
i
took
it
up
and
held
it
close
to
the
light
and
felt
it
and
smelt
it
and
tried
every
way
possible
to
arrive
at
some
satisfactory
conclusion
concerning
it
i
can
compare
it
to
nothing
but
a
large
door
mat
ornamented
at
the
edges
with
little
tinkling
tags
something
like
the
stained
porcupine
quills
round
an
indian
moccasin
there
was
a
hole
or
slit
in
the
middle
of
this
mat
as
you
see
the
same
in
south
american
ponchos
but
could
it
be
possible
that
any
sober
harpooneer
would
get
into
a
door
mat
and
parade
the
streets
of
any
christian
town
in
that
sort
of
guise
i
put
it
on
to
try
it
and
it
weighed
me
down
like
a
hamper
being
uncommonly
shaggy
and
thick
and
i
thought
a
little
damp
as
though
this
mysterious
harpooneer
had
been
wearing
it
of
a
rainy
day
i
went
up
in
it
to
a
bit
of
glass
stuck
against
the
wall
and
i
never
saw
such
a
sight
in
my
life
i
tore
myself
out
of
it
in
such
a
hurry
that
i
gave
myself
a
kink
in
the
neck
i
sat
down
on
the
side
of
the
bed
and
commenced
thinking
about
this
head
peddling
harpooneer
and
his
door
mat
after
thinking
some
time
on
the
bed
side
i
got
up
and
took
off
my
monkey
jacket
and
then
stood
in
the
middle
of
the
room
thinking
i
then
took
off
my
coat
and
thought
a
little
more
in
my
shirt
sleeves
but
beginning
to
feel
very
cold
now
half
undressed
as
i
was
and
remembering
what
the
landlord
said
about
the
harpooneers
not
coming
home
at
all
that
night
it
being
so
very
late
i
made
no
more
ado
but
jumped
out
of
my
pantaloons
and
boots
and
then
blowing
out
the
light
tumbled
into
bed
and
commended
myself
to
the
care
of
heaven
whether
that
mattress
was
stuffed
with
corn
cobs
or
broken
crockery
there
is
no
telling
but
i
rolled
about
a
good
deal
and
could
not
sleep
for
a
long
time
at
last
i
slid
off
into
a
light
doze
and
had
pretty
nearly
made
a
good
offing
towards
the
land
of
nod
when
i
heard
a
heavy
footfall
in
the
passage
and
saw
a
glimmer
of
light
come
into
the
room
from
under
the
door
lord
save
me
thinks
i
that
must
be
the
harpooneer
the
infernal
head
peddler
but
i
lay
perfectly
still
and
resolved
not
to
say
a
word
till
spoken
to
holding
a
light
in
one
hand
and
that
identical
new
zealand
head
in
the
other
the
stranger
entered
the
room
and
without
looking
towards
the
bed
placed
his
candle
a
good
way
off
from
me
on
the
floor
in
one
corner
and
then
began
working
away
at
the
knotted
cords
of
the
large
bag
i
before
spoke
of
as
being
in
the
room
i
was
all
eagerness
to
see
his
face
but
he
kept
it
averted
for
some
time
while
employed
in
unlacing
the
bags
mouth
this
accomplished
however
he
turned
round
when
good
heavens
what
a
sight
such
a
face
it
was
of
a
dark
purplish
yellow
color
here
and
there
stuck
over
with
large
blackish
looking
squares
yes
its
just
as
i
thought
hes
a
terrible
bedfellow
hes
been
in
a
fight
got
dreadfully
cut
and
here
he
is
just
from
the
surgeon
but
at
that
moment
he
chanced
to
turn
his
face
so
towards
the
light
that
i
plainly
saw
they
could
not
be
sticking
plasters
at
all
those
black
squares
on
his
cheeks
they
were
stains
of
some
sort
or
other
at
first
i
knew
not
what
to
make
of
this
but
soon
an
inkling
of
the
truth
occurred
to
me
i
remembered
a
story
of
a
white
man
a
whaleman
too
who
falling
among
the
cannibals
had
been
tattooed
by
them
i
concluded
that
this
harpooneer
in
the
course
of
his
distant
voyages
must
have
met
with
a
similar
adventure
and
what
is
it
thought
i
after
all
its
only
his
outside
a
man
can
be
honest
in
any
sort
of
skin
but
then
what
to
make
of
his
unearthly
complexion
that
part
of
it
i
mean
lying
round
about
and
completely
independent
of
the
squares
of
tattooing
to
be
sure
it
might
be
nothing
but
a
good
coat
of
tropical
tanning
but
i
never
heard
of
a
hot
suns
tanning
a
white
man
into
a
purplish
yellow
one
however
i
had
never
been
in
the
south
seas
and
perhaps
the
sun
there
produced
these
extraordinary
effects
upon
the
skin
now
while
all
these
ideas
were
passing
through
me
like
lightning
this
harpooneer
never
noticed
me
at
all
but
after
some
difficulty
having
opened
his
bag
he
commenced
fumbling
in
it
and
presently
pulled
out
a
sort
of
tomahawk
and
a
seal
skin
wallet
with
the
hair
on
placing
these
on
the
old
chest
in
the
middle
of
the
room
he
then
took
the
new
zealand
head
a
ghastly
thing
enough
and
crammed
it
down
into
the
bag
he
now
took
off
his
hat
a
new
beaver
hat
when
i
came
nigh
singing
out
with
fresh
surprise
there
was
no
hair
on
his
head
none
to
speak
of
at
least
nothing
but
a
small
scalp
knot
twisted
up
on
his
forehead
his
bald
purplish
head
now
looked
for
all
the
world
like
a
mildewed
skull
had
not
the
stranger
stood
between
me
and
the
door
i
would
have
bolted
out
of
it
quicker
than
ever
i
bolted
a
dinner
even
as
it
was
i
thought
something
of
slipping
out
of
the
window
but
it
was
the
second
floor
back
i
am
no
coward
but
what
to
make
of
this
head
peddling
purple
rascal
altogether
passed
my
comprehension
ignorance
is
the
parent
of
fear
and
being
completely
nonplussed
and
confounded
about
the
stranger
i
confess
i
was
now
as
much
afraid
of
him
as
if
it
was
the
devil
himself
who
had
thus
broken
into
my
room
at
the
dead
of
night
in
fact
i
was
so
afraid
of
him
that
i
was
not
game
enough
just
then
to
address
him
and
demand
a
satisfactory
answer
concerning
what
seemed
inexplicable
in
him
meanwhile
he
continued
the
business
of
undressing
and
at
last
showed
his
chest
and
arms
as
i
live
these
covered
parts
of
him
were
checkered
with
the
same
squares
as
his
face
his
back
too
was
all
over
the
same
dark
squares
he
seemed
to
have
been
in
a
thirty
years
war
and
just
escaped
from
it
with
a
sticking
plaster
shirt
still
more
his
very
legs
were
marked
as
if
a
parcel
of
dark
green
frogs
were
running
up
the
trunks
of
young
palms
it
was
now
quite
plain
that
he
must
be
some
abominable
savage
or
other
shipped
aboard
of
a
whaleman
in
the
south
seas
and
so
landed
in
this
christian
country
i
quaked
to
think
of
it
a
peddler
of
heads
too
perhaps
the
heads
of
his
own
brothers
he
might
take
a
fancy
to
mine
heavens
look
at
that
tomahawk
but
there
was
no
time
for
shuddering
for
now
the
savage
went
about
something
that
completely
fascinated
my
attention
and
convinced
me
that
he
must
indeed
be
a
heathen
going
to
his
heavy
grego
or
wrapall
or
dreadnaught
which
he
had
previously
hung
on
a
chair
he
fumbled
in
the
pockets
and
produced
at
length
a
curious
little
deformed
image
with
a
hunch
on
its
back
and
exactly
the
color
of
a
three
days
old
congo
baby
remembering
the
embalmed
head
at
first
i
almost
thought
that
this
black
manikin
was
a
real
baby
preserved
in
some
similar
manner
but
seeing
that
it
was
not
at
all
limber
and
that
it
glistened
a
good
deal
like
polished
ebony
i
concluded
that
it
must
be
nothing
but
a
wooden
idol
which
indeed
it
proved
to
be
for
now
the
savage
goes
up
to
the
empty
fireplace
and
removing
the
papered
fire
board
sets
up
this
little
hunchbacked
image
like
a
tenpin
between
the
andirons
the
chimney
jambs
and
all
the
bricks
inside
were
very
sooty
so
that
i
thought
this
fire
place
made
a
very
appropriate
little
shrine
or
chapel
for
his
congo
idol
i
now
screwed
my
eyes
hard
towards
the
half
hidden
image
feeling
but
ill
at
ease
meantime
to
see
what
was
next
to
follow
first
he
takes
about
a
double
handful
of
shavings
out
of
his
grego
pocket
and
places
them
carefully
before
the
idol
then
laying
a
bit
of
ship
biscuit
on
top
and
applying
the
flame
from
the
lamp
he
kindled
the
shavings
into
a
sacrificial
blaze
presently
after
many
hasty
snatches
into
the
fire
and
still
hastier
withdrawals
of
his
fingers
whereby
he
seemed
to
be
scorching
them
badly
he
at
last
succeeded
in
drawing
out
the
biscuit
then
blowing
off
the
heat
and
ashes
a
little
he
made
a
polite
offer
of
it
to
the
little
negro
but
the
little
devil
did
not
seem
to
fancy
such
dry
sort
of
fare
at
all
he
never
moved
his
lips
all
these
strange
antics
were
accompanied
by
still
stranger
guttural
noises
from
the
devotee
who
seemed
to
be
praying
in
a
sing
song
or
else
singing
some
pagan
psalmody
or
other
during
which
his
face
twitched
about
in
the
most
unnatural
manner
at
last
extinguishing
the
fire
he
took
the
idol
up
very
unceremoniously
and
bagged
it
again
in
his
grego
pocket
as
carelessly
as
if
he
were
a
sportsman
bagging
a
dead
woodcock
all
these
queer
proceedings
increased
my
uncomfortableness
and
seeing
him
now
exhibiting
strong
symptoms
of
concluding
his
business
operations
and
jumping
into
bed
with
me
i
thought
it
was
high
time
now
or
never
before
the
light
was
put
out
to
break
the
spell
into
which
i
had
so
long
been
bound
but
the
interval
i
spent
in
deliberating
what
to
say
was
a
fatal
one
taking
up
his
tomahawk
from
the
table
he
examined
the
head
of
it
for
an
instant
and
then
holding
it
to
the
light
with
his
mouth
at
the
handle
he
puffed
out
great
clouds
of
tobacco
smoke
the
next
moment
the
light
was
extinguished
and
this
wild
cannibal
tomahawk
between
his
teeth
sprang
into
bed
with
me
i
sang
out
i
could
not
help
it
now
and
giving
a
sudden
grunt
of
astonishment
he
began
feeling
me
stammering
out
something
i
knew
not
what
i
rolled
away
from
him
against
the
wall
and
then
conjured
him
whoever
or
whatever
he
might
be
to
keep
quiet
and
let
me
get
up
and
light
the
lamp
again
but
his
guttural
responses
satisfied
me
at
once
that
he
but
ill
comprehended
my
meaning
who
e
debel
you
he
at
last
said
you
no
speak
e
dam
me
i
kill
e
and
so
saying
the
lighted
tomahawk
began
flourishing
about
me
in
the
dark
landlord
for
gods
sake
peter
coffin
shouted
i
landlord
watch
coffin
angels
save
me
speak
e
tell
ee
me
who
ee
be
or
dam
me
i
kill
e
again
growled
the
cannibal
while
his
horrid
flourishings
of
the
tomahawk
scattered
the
hot
tobacco
ashes
about
me
till
i
thought
my
linen
would
get
on
fire
but
thank
heaven
at
that
moment
the
landlord
came
into
the
room
light
in
hand
and
leaping
from
the
bed
i
ran
up
to
him
dont
be
afraid
now
said
he
grinning
again
queequeg
here
wouldnt
harm
a
hair
of
your
head
stop
your
grinning
shouted
i
and
why
didnt
you
tell
me
that
that
infernal
harpooneer
was
a
cannibal
i
thought
ye
knowd
it
didnt
i
tell
ye
he
was
peddlin
heads
around
town
but
turn
flukes
again
and
go
to
sleep
queequeg
look
here
you
sabbee
me
i
sabbee
you
this
man
sleepe
you
you
sabbee
me
sabbee
plenty
grunted
queequeg
puffing
away
at
his
pipe
and
sitting
up
in
bed
you
gettee
in
he
added
motioning
to
me
with
his
tomahawk
and
throwing
the
clothes
to
one
side
he
really
did
this
in
not
only
a
civil
but
a
really
kind
and
charitable
way
i
stood
looking
at
him
a
moment
for
all
his
tattooings
he
was
on
the
whole
a
clean
comely
looking
cannibal
whats
all
this
fuss
i
have
been
making
about
thought
i
to
myself
the
mans
a
human
being
just
as
i
am
he
has
just
as
much
reason
to
fear
me
as
i
have
to
be
afraid
of
him
better
sleep
with
a
sober
cannibal
than
a
drunken
christian
landlord
said
i
tell
him
to
stash
his
tomahawk
there
or
pipe
or
whatever
you
call
it
tell
him
to
stop
smoking
in
short
and
i
will
turn
in
with
him
but
i
dont
fancy
having
a
man
smoking
in
bed
with
me
its
dangerous
besides
i
aint
insured
this
being
told
to
queequeg
he
at
once
complied
and
again
politely
motioned
me
to
get
into
bed
rolling
over
to
one
side
as
much
as
to
say
i
wont
touch
a
leg
of
ye
good
night
landlord
said
i
you
may
go
i
turned
in
and
never
slept
better
in
my
life
upon
waking
next
morning
about
daylight
i
found
queequegs
arm
thrown
over
me
in
the
most
loving
and
affectionate
manner
you
had
almost
thought
i
had
been
his
wife
the
counterpane
was
of
patchwork
full
of
odd
little
parti
colored
squares
and
triangles
and
this
arm
of
his
tattooed
all
over
with
an
interminable
cretan
labyrinth
of
a
figure
no
two
parts
of
which
were
of
one
precise
shade
owing
i
suppose
to
his
keeping
his
arm
at
sea
unmethodically
in
sun
and
shade
his
shirt
sleeves
irregularly
rolled
up
at
various
times
this
same
arm
of
his
i
say
looked
for
all
the
world
like
a
strip
of
that
same
patchwork
quilt
indeed
partly
lying
on
it
as
the
arm
did
when
i
first
awoke
i
could
hardly
tell
it
from
the
quilt
they
so
blended
their
hues
together
and
it
was
only
by
the
sense
of
weight
and
pressure
that
i
could
tell
that
queequeg
was
hugging
me
my
sensations
were
strange
let
me
try
to
explain
them
when
i
was
a
child
i
well
remember
a
somewhat
similar
circumstance
that
befell
me
whether
it
was
a
reality
or
a
dream
i
never
could
entirely
settle
the
circumstance
was
this
i
had
been
cutting
up
some
caper
or
other
i
think
it
was
trying
to
crawl
up
the
chimney
as
i
had
seen
a
little
sweep
do
a
few
days
previous
and
my
stepmother
who
somehow
or
other
was
all
the
time
whipping
me
or
sending
me
to
bed
supperless
my
mother
dragged
me
by
the
legs
out
of
the
chimney
and
packed
me
off
to
bed
though
it
was
only
two
oclock
in
the
afternoon
of
the
st
june
the
longest
day
in
the
year
in
our
hemisphere
i
felt
dreadfully
but
there
was
no
help
for
it
so
up
stairs
i
went
to
my
little
room
in
the
third
floor
undressed
myself
as
slowly
as
possible
so
as
to
kill
time
and
with
a
bitter
sigh
got
between
the
sheets
i
lay
there
dismally
calculating
that
sixteen
entire
hours
must
elapse
before
i
could
hope
for
a
resurrection
sixteen
hours
in
bed
the
small
of
my
back
ached
to
think
of
it
and
it
was
so
light
too
the
sun
shining
in
at
the
window
and
a
great
rattling
of
coaches
in
the
streets
and
the
sound
of
gay
voices
all
over
the
house
i
felt
worse
and
worse
at
last
i
got
up
dressed
and
softly
going
down
in
my
stockinged
feet
sought
out
my
stepmother
and
suddenly
threw
myself
at
her
feet
beseeching
her
as
a
particular
favor
to
give
me
a
good
slippering
for
my
misbehavior
anything
indeed
but
condemning
me
to
lie
abed
such
an
unendurable
length
of
time
but
she
was
the
best
and
most
conscientious
of
stepmothers
and
back
i
had
to
go
to
my
room
for
several
hours
i
lay
there
broad
awake
feeling
a
great
deal
worse
than
i
have
ever
done
since
even
from
the
greatest
subsequent
misfortunes
at
last
i
must
have
fallen
into
a
troubled
nightmare
of
a
doze
and
slowly
waking
from
it
half
steeped
in
dreams
i
opened
my
eyes
and
the
before
sun
lit
room
was
now
wrapped
in
outer
darkness
instantly
i
felt
a
shock
running
through
all
my
frame
nothing
was
to
be
seen
and
nothing
was
to
be
heard
but
a
supernatural
hand
seemed
placed
in
mine
my
arm
hung
over
the
counterpane
and
the
nameless
unimaginable
silent
form
or
phantom
to
which
the
hand
belonged
seemed
closely
seated
by
my
bedside
for
what
seemed
ages
piled
on
ages
i
lay
there
frozen
with
the
most
awful
fears
not
daring
to
drag
away
my
hand
yet
ever
thinking
that
if
i
could
but
stir
it
one
single
inch
the
horrid
spell
would
be
broken
i
knew
not
how
this
consciousness
at
last
glided
away
from
me
but
waking
in
the
morning
i
shudderingly
remembered
it
all
and
for
days
and
weeks
and
months
afterwards
i
lost
myself
in
confounding
attempts
to
explain
the
mystery
nay
to
this
very
hour
i
often
puzzle
myself
with
it
now
take
away
the
awful
fear
and
my
sensations
at
feeling
the
supernatural
hand
in
mine
were
very
similar
in
their
strangeness
to
those
which
i
experienced
on
waking
up
and
seeing
queequegs
pagan
arm
thrown
round
me
but
at
length
all
the
past
nights
events
soberly
recurred
one
by
one
in
fixed
reality
and
then
i
lay
only
alive
to
the
comical
predicament
for
though
i
tried
to
move
his
arm
unlock
his
bridegroom
clasp
yet
sleeping
as
he
was
he
still
hugged
me
tightly
as
though
naught
but
death
should
part
us
twain
i
now
strove
to
rouse
him
queequeg
but
his
only
answer
was
a
snore
i
then
rolled
over
my
neck
feeling
as
if
it
were
in
a
horse
collar
and
suddenly
felt
a
slight
scratch
throwing
aside
the
counterpane
there
lay
the
tomahawk
sleeping
by
the
savages
side
as
if
it
were
a
hatchet
faced
baby
a
pretty
pickle
truly
thought
i
abed
here
in
a
strange
house
in
the
broad
day
with
a
cannibal
and
a
tomahawk
queequeg
in
the
name
of
goodness
queequeg
wake
at
length
by
dint
of
much
wriggling
and
loud
and
incessant
expostulations
upon
the
unbecomingness
of
his
hugging
a
fellow
male
in
that
matrimonial
sort
of
style
i
succeeded
in
extracting
a
grunt
and
presently
he
drew
back
his
arm
shook
himself
all
over
like
a
newfoundland
dog
just
from
the
water
and
sat
up
in
bed
stiff
as
a
pike
staff
looking
at
me
and
rubbing
his
eyes
as
if
he
did
not
altogether
remember
how
i
came
to
be
there
though
a
dim
consciousness
of
knowing
something
about
me
seemed
slowly
dawning
over
him
meanwhile
i
lay
quietly
eyeing
him
having
no
serious
misgivings
now
and
bent
upon
narrowly
observing
so
curious
a
creature
when
at
last
his
mind
seemed
made
up
touching
the
character
of
his
bedfellow
and
he
became
as
it
were
reconciled
to
the
fact
he
jumped
out
upon
the
floor
and
by
certain
signs
and
sounds
gave
me
to
understand
that
if
it
pleased
me
he
would
dress
first
and
then
leave
me
to
dress
afterwards
leaving
the
whole
apartment
to
myself
thinks
i
queequeg
under
the
circumstances
this
is
a
very
civilized
overture
but
the
truth
is
these
savages
have
an
innate
sense
of
delicacy
say
what
you
will
it
is
marvellous
how
essentially
polite
they
are
i
pay
this
particular
compliment
to
queequeg
because
he
treated
me
with
so
much
civility
and
consideration
while
i
was
guilty
of
great
rudeness
staring
at
him
from
the
bed
and
watching
all
his
toilette
motions
for
the
time
my
curiosity
getting
the
better
of
my
breeding
nevertheless
a
man
like
queequeg
you
dont
see
every
day
he
and
his
ways
were
well
worth
unusual
regarding
he
commenced
dressing
at
top
by
donning
his
beaver
hat
a
very
tall
one
by
the
by
and
then
still
minus
his
trowsers
he
hunted
up
his
boots
what
under
the
heavens
he
did
it
for
i
cannot
tell
but
his
next
movement
was
to
crush
himself
boots
in
hand
and
hat
on
under
the
bed
when
from
sundry
violent
gaspings
and
strainings
i
inferred
he
was
hard
at
work
booting
himself
though
by
no
law
of
propriety
that
i
ever
heard
of
is
any
man
required
to
be
private
when
putting
on
his
boots
but
queequeg
do
you
see
was
a
creature
in
the
transition
state
neither
caterpillar
nor
butterfly
he
was
just
enough
civilized
to
show
off
his
outlandishness
in
the
strangest
possible
manner
his
education
was
not
yet
completed
he
was
an
undergraduate
if
he
had
not
been
a
small
degree
civilized
he
very
probably
would
not
have
troubled
himself
with
boots
at
all
but
then
if
he
had
not
been
still
a
savage
he
never
would
have
dreamt
of
getting
under
the
bed
to
put
them
on
at
last
he
emerged
with
his
hat
very
much
dented
and
crushed
down
over
his
eyes
and
began
creaking
and
limping
about
the
room
as
if
not
being
much
accustomed
to
boots
his
pair
of
damp
wrinkled
cowhide
ones
probably
not
made
to
order
either
rather
pinched
and
tormented
him
at
the
first
go
off
of
a
bitter
cold
morning
seeing
now
that
there
were
no
curtains
to
the
window
and
that
the
street
being
very
narrow
the
house
opposite
commanded
a
plain
view
into
the
room
and
observing
more
and
more
the
indecorous
figure
that
queequeg
made
staving
about
with
little
else
but
his
hat
and
boots
on
i
begged
him
as
well
as
i
could
to
accelerate
his
toilet
somewhat
and
particularly
to
get
into
his
pantaloons
as
soon
as
possible
he
complied
and
then
proceeded
to
wash
himself
at
that
time
in
the
morning
any
christian
would
have
washed
his
face
but
queequeg
to
my
amazement
contented
himself
with
restricting
his
ablutions
to
his
chest
arms
and
hands
he
then
donned
his
waistcoat
and
taking
up
a
piece
of
hard
soap
on
the
wash
stand
centre
table
dipped
it
into
water
and
commenced
lathering
his
face
i
was
watching
to
see
where
he
kept
his
razor
when
lo
and
behold
he
takes
the
harpoon
from
the
bed
corner
slips
out
the
long
wooden
stock
unsheathes
the
head
whets
it
a
little
on
his
boot
and
striding
up
to
the
bit
of
mirror
against
the
wall
begins
a
vigorous
scraping
or
rather
harpooning
of
his
cheeks
thinks
i
queequeg
this
is
using
rogerss
best
cutlery
with
a
vengeance
afterwards
i
wondered
the
less
at
this
operation
when
i
came
to
know
of
what
fine
steel
the
head
of
a
harpoon
is
made
and
how
exceedingly
sharp
the
long
straight
edges
are
always
kept
the
rest
of
his
toilet
was
soon
achieved
and
he
proudly
marched
out
of
the
room
wrapped
up
in
his
great
pilot
monkey
jacket
and
sporting
his
harpoon
like
a
marshals
baton
i
quickly
followed
suit
and
descending
into
the
bar
room
accosted
the
grinning
landlord
very
pleasantly
i
cherished
no
malice
towards
him
though
he
had
been
skylarking
with
me
not
a
little
in
the
matter
of
my
bedfellow
however
a
good
laugh
is
a
mighty
good
thing
and
rather
too
scarce
a
good
thing
the
mores
the
pity
so
if
any
one
man
in
his
own
proper
person
afford
stuff
for
a
good
joke
to
anybody
let
him
not
be
backward
but
let
him
cheerfully
allow
himself
to
spend
and
be
spent
in
that
way
and
the
man
that
has
anything
bountifully
laughable
about
him
be
sure
there
is
more
in
that
man
than
you
perhaps
think
for
the
bar
room
was
now
full
of
the
boarders
who
had
been
dropping
in
the
night
previous
and
whom
i
had
not
as
yet
had
a
good
look
at
they
were
nearly
all
whalemen
chief
mates
and
second
mates
and
third
mates
and
sea
carpenters
and
sea
coopers
and
sea
blacksmiths
and
harpooneers
and
ship
keepers
a
brown
and
brawny
company
with
bosky
beards
an
unshorn
shaggy
set
all
wearing
monkey
jackets
for
morning
gowns
you
could
pretty
plainly
tell
how
long
each
one
had
been
ashore
this
young
fellows
healthy
cheek
is
like
a
sun
toasted
pear
in
hue
and
would
seem
to
smell
almost
as
musky
he
cannot
have
been
three
days
landed
from
his
indian
voyage
that
man
next
him
looks
a
few
shades
lighter
you
might
say
a
touch
of
satin
wood
is
in
him
in
the
complexion
of
a
third
still
lingers
a
tropic
tawn
but
slightly
bleached
withal
he
doubtless
has
tarried
whole
weeks
ashore
but
who
could
show
a
cheek
like
queequeg
which
barred
with
various
tints
seemed
like
the
andes
western
slope
to
show
forth
in
one
array
contrasting
climates
zone
by
zone
grub
ho
now
cried
the
landlord
flinging
open
a
door
and
in
we
went
to
breakfast
they
say
that
men
who
have
seen
the
world
thereby
become
quite
at
ease
in
manner
quite
self
possessed
in
company
not
always
though
ledyard
the
great
new
england
traveller
and
mungo
park
the
scotch
one
of
all
men
they
possessed
the
least
assurance
in
the
parlor
but
perhaps
the
mere
crossing
of
siberia
in
a
sledge
drawn
by
dogs
as
ledyard
did
or
the
taking
a
long
solitary
walk
on
an
empty
stomach
in
the
negro
heart
of
africa
which
was
the
sum
of
poor
mungos
performances
this
kind
of
travel
i
say
may
not
be
the
very
best
mode
of
attaining
a
high
social
polish
still
for
the
most
part
that
sort
of
thing
is
to
be
had
anywhere
these
reflections
just
here
are
occasioned
by
the
circumstance
that
after
we
were
all
seated
at
the
table
and
i
was
preparing
to
hear
some
good
stories
about
whaling
to
my
no
small
surprise
nearly
every
man
maintained
a
profound
silence
and
not
only
that
but
they
looked
embarrassed
yes
here
were
a
set
of
sea
dogs
many
of
whom
without
the
slightest
bashfulness
had
boarded
great
whales
on
the
high
seas
entire
strangers
to
them
and
duelled
them
dead
without
winking
and
yet
here
they
sat
at
a
social
breakfast
table
all
of
the
same
calling
all
of
kindred
tastes
looking
round
as
sheepishly
at
each
other
as
though
they
had
never
been
out
of
sight
of
some
sheepfold
among
the
green
mountains
a
curious
sight
these
bashful
bears
these
timid
warrior
whalemen
but
as
for
queequeg
why
queequeg
sat
there
among
them
at
the
head
of
the
table
too
it
so
chanced
as
cool
as
an
icicle
to
be
sure
i
cannot
say
much
for
his
breeding
his
greatest
admirer
could
not
have
cordially
justified
his
bringing
his
harpoon
into
breakfast
with
him
and
using
it
there
without
ceremony
reaching
over
the
table
with
it
to
the
imminent
jeopardy
of
many
heads
and
grappling
the
beefsteaks
towards
him
but
that
was
certainly
very
coolly
done
by
him
and
every
one
knows
that
in
most
peoples
estimation
to
do
anything
coolly
is
to
do
it
genteelly
we
will
not
speak
of
all
queequegs
peculiarities
here
how
he
eschewed
coffee
and
hot
rolls
and
applied
his
undivided
attention
to
beefsteaks
done
rare
enough
that
when
breakfast
was
over
he
withdrew
like
the
rest
into
the
public
room
lighted
his
tomahawk
pipe
and
was
sitting
there
quietly
digesting
and
smoking
with
his
inseparable
hat
on
when
i
sallied
out
for
a
stroll
if
i
had
been
astonished
at
first
catching
a
glimpse
of
so
outlandish
an
individual
as
queequeg
circulating
among
the
polite
society
of
a
civilized
town
that
astonishment
soon
departed
upon
taking
my
first
daylight
stroll
through
the
streets
of
new
bedford
in
thoroughfares
nigh
the
docks
any
considerable
seaport
will
frequently
offer
to
view
the
queerest
looking
nondescripts
from
foreign
parts
even
in
broadway
and
chestnut
streets
mediterranean
mariners
will
sometimes
jostle
the
affrighted
ladies
regent
street
is
not
unknown
to
lascars
and
malays
and
at
bombay
in
the
apollo
green
live
yankees
have
often
scared
the
natives
but
new
bedford
beats
all
water
street
and
wapping
in
these
last
mentioned
haunts
you
see
only
sailors
but
in
new
bedford
actual
cannibals
stand
chatting
at
street
corners
savages
outright
many
of
whom
yet
carry
on
their
bones
unholy
flesh
it
makes
a
stranger
stare
but
besides
the
feegeeans
tongatabooarrs
erromanggoans
pannangians
and
brighggians
and
besides
the
wild
specimens
of
the
whaling
craft
which
unheeded
reel
about
the
streets
you
will
see
other
sights
still
more
curious
certainly
more
comical
there
weekly
arrive
in
this
town
scores
of
green
vermonters
and
new
hampshire
men
all
athirst
for
gain
and
glory
in
the
fishery
they
are
mostly
young
of
stalwart
frames
fellows
who
have
felled
forests
and
now
seek
to
drop
the
axe
and
snatch
the
whale
lance
many
are
as
green
as
the
green
mountains
whence
they
came
in
some
things
you
would
think
them
but
a
few
hours
old
look
there
that
chap
strutting
round
the
corner
he
wears
a
beaver
hat
and
swallow
tailed
coat
girdled
with
a
sailor
belt
and
sheath
knife
here
comes
another
with
a
sou
wester
and
a
bombazine
cloak
no
town
bred
dandy
will
compare
with
a
country
bred
one
i
mean
a
downright
bumpkin
dandy
a
fellow
that
in
the
dog
days
will
mow
his
two
acres
in
buckskin
gloves
for
fear
of
tanning
his
hands
now
when
a
country
dandy
like
this
takes
it
into
his
head
to
make
a
distinguished
reputation
and
joins
the
great
whale
fishery
you
should
see
the
comical
things
he
does
upon
reaching
the
seaport
in
bespeaking
his
sea
outfit
he
orders
bell
buttons
to
his
waistcoats
straps
to
his
canvas
trowsers
ah
poor
hay
seed
how
bitterly
will
burst
those
straps
in
the
first
howling
gale
when
thou
art
driven
straps
buttons
and
all
down
the
throat
of
the
tempest
but
think
not
that
this
famous
town
has
only
harpooneers
cannibals
and
bumpkins
to
show
her
visitors
not
at
all
still
new
bedford
is
a
queer
place
had
it
not
been
for
us
whalemen
that
tract
of
land
would
this
day
perhaps
have
been
in
as
howling
condition
as
the
coast
of
labrador
as
it
is
parts
of
her
back
country
are
enough
to
frighten
one
they
look
so
bony
the
town
itself
is
perhaps
the
dearest
place
to
live
in
in
all
new
england
it
is
a
land
of
oil
true
enough
but
not
like
canaan
a
land
also
of
corn
and
wine
the
streets
do
not
run
with
milk
nor
in
the
spring
time
do
they
pave
them
with
fresh
eggs
yet
in
spite
of
this
nowhere
in
all
america
will
you
find
more
patrician
like
houses
parks
and
gardens
more
opulent
than
in
new
bedford
whence
came
they
how
planted
upon
this
once
scraggy
scoria
of
a
country
go
and
gaze
upon
the
iron
emblematical
harpoons
round
yonder
lofty
mansion
and
your
question
will
be
answered
yes
all
these
brave
houses
and
flowery
gardens
came
from
the
atlantic
pacific
and
indian
oceans
one
and
all
they
were
harpooned
and
dragged
up
hither
from
the
bottom
of
the
sea
can
herr
alexander
perform
a
feat
like
that
in
new
bedford
fathers
they
say
give
whales
for
dowers
to
their
daughters
and
portion
off
their
nieces
with
a
few
porpoises
a
piece
you
must
go
to
new
bedford
to
see
a
brilliant
wedding
for
they
say
they
have
reservoirs
of
oil
in
every
house
and
every
night
recklessly
burn
their
lengths
in
spermaceti
candles
in
summer
time
the
town
is
sweet
to
see
full
of
fine
maples
long
avenues
of
green
and
gold
and
in
august
high
in
air
the
beautiful
and
bountiful
horse
chestnuts
candelabra
wise
proffer
the
passer
by
their
tapering
upright
cones
of
congregated
blossoms
so
omnipotent
is
art
which
in
many
a
district
of
new
bedford
has
superinduced
bright
terraces
of
flowers
upon
the
barren
refuse
rocks
thrown
aside
at
creations
final
day
and
the
women
of
new
bedford
they
bloom
like
their
own
red
roses
but
roses
only
bloom
in
summer
whereas
the
fine
carnation
of
their
cheeks
is
perennial
as
sunlight
in
the
seventh
heavens
elsewhere
match
that
bloom
of
theirs
ye
cannot
save
in
salem
where
they
tell
me
the
young
girls
breathe
such
musk
their
sailor
sweethearts
smell
them
miles
off
shore
as
though
they
were
drawing
nigh
the
odorous
moluccas
instead
of
the
puritanic
sands
in
this
same
new
bedford
there
stands
a
whalemans
chapel
and
few
are
the
moody
fishermen
shortly
bound
for
the
indian
ocean
or
pacific
who
fail
to
make
a
sunday
visit
to
the
spot
i
am
sure
that
i
did
not
returning
from
my
first
morning
stroll
i
again
sallied
out
upon
this
special
errand
the
sky
had
changed
from
clear
sunny
cold
to
driving
sleet
and
mist
wrapping
myself
in
my
shaggy
jacket
of
the
cloth
called
bearskin
i
fought
my
way
against
the
stubborn
storm
entering
i
found
a
small
scattered
congregation
of
sailors
and
sailors
wives
and
widows
a
muffled
silence
reigned
only
broken
at
times
by
the
shrieks
of
the
storm
each
silent
worshipper
seemed
purposely
sitting
apart
from
the
other
as
if
each
silent
grief
were
insular
and
incommunicable
the
chaplain
had
not
yet
arrived
and
there
these
silent
islands
of
men
and
women
sat
steadfastly
eyeing
several
marble
tablets
with
black
borders
masoned
into
the
wall
on
either
side
the
pulpit
three
of
them
ran
something
like
the
following
but
i
do
not
pretend
to
quote
sacred
to
the
memory
of
john
talbot
who
at
the
age
of
eighteen
was
lost
overboard
near
the
isle
of
desolation
off
patagonia
november

tablet
is
erected
to
his

this
tablet
is
erected
to
his
memory
by
his
widow
shaking
off
the
sleet
from
my
ice
glazed
hat
and
jacket
i
seated
myself
near
the
door
and
turning
sideways
was
surprised
to
see
queequeg
near
me
affected
by
the
solemnity
of
the
scene
there
was
a
wondering
gaze
of
incredulous
curiosity
in
his
countenance
this
savage
was
the
only
person
present
who
seemed
to
notice
my
entrance
because
he
was
the
only
one
who
could
not
read
and
therefore
was
not
reading
those
frigid
inscriptions
on
the
wall
whether
any
of
the
relatives
of
the
seamen
whose
names
appeared
there
were
now
among
the
congregation
i
knew
not
but
so
many
are
the
unrecorded
accidents
in
the
fishery
and
so
plainly
did
several
women
present
wear
the
countenance
if
not
the
trappings
of
some
unceasing
grief
that
i
feel
sure
that
here
before
me
were
assembled
those
in
whose
unhealing
hearts
the
sight
of
those
bleak
tablets
sympathetically
caused
the
old
wounds
to
bleed
afresh
oh
ye
whose
dead
lie
buried
beneath
the
green
grass
who
standing
among
flowers
can
say
here
here
lies
my
beloved
ye
know
not
the
desolation
that
broods
in
bosoms
like
these
what
bitter
blanks
in
those
black
bordered
marbles
which
cover
no
ashes
what
despair
in
those
immovable
inscriptions
what
deadly
voids
and
unbidden
infidelities
in
the
lines
that
seem
to
gnaw
upon
all
faith
and
refuse
resurrections
to
the
beings
who
have
placelessly
perished
without
a
grave
as
well
might
those
tablets
stand
in
the
cave
of
elephanta
as
here
in
what
census
of
living
creatures
the
dead
of
mankind
are
included
why
it
is
that
a
universal
proverb
says
of
them
that
they
tell
no
tales
though
containing
more
secrets
than
the
goodwin
sands
how
it
is
that
to
his
name
who
yesterday
departed
for
the
other
world
we
prefix
so
significant
and
infidel
a
word
and
yet
do
not
thus
entitle
him
if
he
but
embarks
for
the
remotest
indies
of
this
living
earth
why
the
life
insurance
companies
pay
death
forfeitures
upon
immortals
in
what
eternal
unstirring
paralysis
and
deadly
hopeless
trance
yet
lies
antique
adam
who
died
sixty
round
centuries
ago
how
it
is
that
we
still
refuse
to
be
comforted
for
those
who
we
nevertheless
maintain
are
dwelling
in
unspeakable
bliss
why
all
the
living
so
strive
to
hush
all
the
dead
wherefore
but
the
rumor
of
a
knocking
in
a
tomb
will
terrify
a
whole
city
all
these
things
are
not
without
their
meanings
but
faith
like
a
jackal
feeds
among
the
tombs
and
even
from
these
dead
doubts
she
gathers
her
most
vital
hope
it
needs
scarcely
to
be
told
with
what
feelings
on
the
eve
of
a
nantucket
voyage
i
regarded
those
marble
tablets
and
by
the
murky
light
of
that
darkened
doleful
day
read
the
fate
of
the
whalemen
who
had
gone
before
me
yes
ishmael
the
same
fate
may
be
thine
but
somehow
i
grew
merry
again
delightful
inducements
to
embark
fine
chance
for
promotion
it
seems
aye
a
stove
boat
will
make
me
an
immortal
by
brevet
yes
there
is
death
in
this
business
of
whaling
a
speechlessly
quick
chaotic
bundling
of
a
man
into
eternity
but
what
then
methinks
we
have
hugely
mistaken
this
matter
of
life
and
death
methinks
that
what
they
call
my
shadow
here
on
earth
is
my
true
substance
methinks
that
in
looking
at
things
spiritual
we
are
too
much
like
oysters
observing
the
sun
through
the
water
and
thinking
that
thick
water
the
thinnest
of
air
methinks
my
body
is
but
the
lees
of
my
better
being
in
fact
take
my
body
who
will
take
it
i
say
it
is
not
me
and
therefore
three
cheers
for
nantucket
and
come
a
stove
boat
and
stove
body
when
they
will
for
stave
my
soul
jove
himself
cannot
i
had
not
been
seated
very
long
ere
a
man
of
a
certain
venerable
robustness
entered
immediately
as
the
storm
pelted
door
flew
back
upon
admitting
him
a
quick
regardful
eyeing
of
him
by
all
the
congregation
sufficiently
attested
that
this
fine
old
man
was
the
chaplain
yes
it
was
the
famous
father
mapple
so
called
by
the
whalemen
among
whom
he
was
a
very
great
favorite
he
had
been
a
sailor
and
a
harpooneer
in
his
youth
but
for
many
years
past
had
dedicated
his
life
to
the
ministry
at
the
time
i
now
write
of
father
mapple
was
in
the
hardy
winter
of
a
healthy
old
age
that
sort
of
old
age
which
seems
merging
into
a
second
flowering
youth
for
among
all
the
fissures
of
his
wrinkles
there
shone
certain
mild
gleams
of
a
newly
developing
bloom
the
spring
verdure
peeping
forth
even
beneath
februarys
snow
no
one
having
previously
heard
his
history
could
for
the
first
time
behold
father
mapple
without
the
utmost
interest
because
there
were
certain
engrafted
clerical
peculiarities
about
him
imputable
to
that
adventurous
maritime
life
he
had
led
when
he
entered
i
observed
that
he
carried
no
umbrella
and
certainly
had
not
come
in
his
carriage
for
his
tarpaulin
hat
ran
down
with
melting
sleet
and
his
great
pilot
cloth
jacket
seemed
almost
to
drag
him
to
the
floor
with
the
weight
of
the
water
it
had
absorbed
however
hat
and
coat
and
overshoes
were
one
by
one
removed
and
hung
up
in
a
little
space
in
an
adjacent
corner
when
arrayed
in
a
decent
suit
he
quietly
approached
the
pulpit
like
most
old
fashioned
pulpits
it
was
a
very
lofty
one
and
since
a
regular
stairs
to
such
a
height
would
by
its
long
angle
with
the
floor
seriously
contract
the
already
small
area
of
the
chapel
the
architect
it
seemed
had
acted
upon
the
hint
of
father
mapple
and
finished
the
pulpit
without
a
stairs
substituting
a
perpendicular
side
ladder
like
those
used
in
mounting
a
ship
from
a
boat
at
sea
the
wife
of
a
whaling
captain
had
provided
the
chapel
with
a
handsome
pair
of
red
worsted
man
ropes
for
this
ladder
which
being
itself
nicely
headed
and
stained
with
a
mahogany
color
the
whole
contrivance
considering
what
manner
of
chapel
it
was
seemed
by
no
means
in
bad
taste
halting
for
an
instant
at
the
foot
of
the
ladder
and
with
both
hands
grasping
the
ornamental
knobs
of
the
man
ropes
father
mapple
cast
a
look
upwards
and
then
with
a
truly
sailorlike
but
still
reverential
dexterity
hand
over
hand
mounted
the
steps
as
if
ascending
the
main
top
of
his
vessel
the
perpendicular
parts
of
this
side
ladder
as
is
usually
the
case
with
swinging
ones
were
of
cloth
covered
rope
only
the
rounds
were
of
wood
so
that
at
every
step
there
was
a
joint
at
my
first
glimpse
of
the
pulpit
it
had
not
escaped
me
that
however
convenient
for
a
ship
these
joints
in
the
present
instance
seemed
unnecessary
for
i
was
not
prepared
to
see
father
mapple
after
gaining
the
height
slowly
turn
round
and
stooping
over
the
pulpit
deliberately
drag
up
the
ladder
step
by
step
till
the
whole
was
deposited
within
leaving
him
impregnable
in
his
little
quebec
i
pondered
some
time
without
fully
comprehending
the
reason
for
this
father
mapple
enjoyed
such
a
wide
reputation
for
sincerity
and
sanctity
that
i
could
not
suspect
him
of
courting
notoriety
by
any
mere
tricks
of
the
stage
no
thought
i
there
must
be
some
sober
reason
for
this
thing
furthermore
it
must
symbolize
something
unseen
can
it
be
then
that
by
that
act
of
physical
isolation
he
signifies
his
spiritual
withdrawal
for
the
time
from
all
outward
worldly
ties
and
connexions
yes
for
replenished
with
the
meat
and
wine
of
the
word
to
the
faithful
man
of
god
this
pulpit
i
see
is
a
self
containing
stronghold
a
lofty
ehrenbreitstein
with
a
perennial
well
of
water
within
the
walls
but
the
side
ladder
was
not
the
only
strange
feature
of
the
place
borrowed
from
the
chaplains
former
sea
farings
between
the
marble
cenotaphs
on
either
hand
of
the
pulpit
the
wall
which
formed
its
back
was
adorned
with
a
large
painting
representing
a
gallant
ship
beating
against
a
terrible
storm
off
a
lee
coast
of
black
rocks
and
snowy
breakers
but
high
above
the
flying
scud
and
dark
rolling
clouds
there
floated
a
little
isle
of
sunlight
from
which
beamed
forth
an
angels
face
and
this
bright
face
shed
a
distinct
spot
of
radiance
upon
the
ships
tossed
deck
something
like
that
silver
plate
now
inserted
into
the
victorys
plank
where
nelson
fell
ah
noble
ship
the
angel
seemed
to
say
beat
on
beat
on
thou
noble
ship
and
bear
a
hardy
helm
for
lo
the
sun
is
breaking
through
the
clouds
are
rolling
off
serenest
azure
is
at
hand
nor
was
the
pulpit
itself
without
a
trace
of
the
same
sea
taste
that
had
achieved
the
ladder
and
the
picture
its
panelled
front
was
in
the
likeness
of
a
ships
bluff
bows
and
the
holy
bible
rested
on
the
projecting
piece
of
scroll
work
fashioned
after
a
ships
fiddle
headed
beak
what
could
be
more
full
of
meaning
for
the
pulpit
is
ever
this
earths
foremost
part
all
the
rest
comes
in
its
rear
the
pulpit
leads
the
world
from
thence
it
is
the
storm
of
gods
quick
wrath
is
first
descried
and
the
bow
must
bear
the
earliest
brunt
from
thence
it
is
the
god
of
breezes
fair
or
foul
is
first
invoked
for
favorable
winds
yes
the
worlds
a
ship
on
its
passage
out
and
not
a
voyage
complete
and
the
pulpit
is
its
prow
father
mapple
rose
and
in
a
mild
voice
of
unassuming
authority
ordered
the
scattered
people
to
condense
starboard
gangway
there
side
away
to
larboard
larboard
gangway
to
starboard
midships
midships
there
was
a
low
rumbling
of
heavy
sea
boots
among
the
benches
and
a
still
slighter
shuffling
of
womens
shoes
and
all
was
quiet
again
and
every
eye
on
the
preacher
he
paused
a
little
then
kneeling
in
the
pulpits
bows
folded
his
large
brown
hands
across
his
chest
uplifted
his
closed
eyes
and
offered
a
prayer
so
deeply
devout
that
he
seemed
kneeling
and
praying
at
the
bottom
of
the
sea
this
ended
in
prolonged
solemn
tones
like
the
continual
tolling
of
a
bell
in
a
ship
that
is
foundering
at
sea
in
a
fog
in
such
tones
he
commenced
reading
the
following
hymn
but
changing
his
manner
towards
the
concluding
stanzas
burst
forth
with
a
pealing
exultation
and
joy
the
ribs
and
terrors
in
the
whale
arched
over
me
a
dismal
gloom
while
all
gods
sun
lit
waves
rolled
by
and
lift
me
deepening
down
to
doom
i
saw
the
opening
maw
of
hell
with
endless
pains
and
sorrows
there
which
none
but
they
that
feel
can
tell
oh
i
was
plunging
to
despair
in
black
distress
i
called
my
god
when
i
could
scarce
believe
him
mine
he
bowed
his
ear
to
my
complaints
no
more
the
whale
did
me
confine
with
speed
he
flew
to
my
relief
as
on
a
radiant
dolphin
borne
awful
yet
bright
as
lightning
shone
the
face
of
my
deliverer
god
my
song
for
ever
shall
record
that
terrible
that
joyful
hour
i
give
the
glory
to
my
god
his
all
the
mercy
and
the
power
nearly
all
joined
in
singing
this
hymn
which
swelled
high
above
the
howling
of
the
storm
a
brief
pause
ensued
the
preacher
slowly
turned
over
the
leaves
of
the
bible
and
at
last
folding
his
hand
down
upon
the
proper
page
said
beloved
shipmates
clinch
the
last
verse
of
the
first
chapter
of
jonah
and
god
had
prepared
a
great
fish
to
swallow
up
jonah
shipmates
this
book
containing
only
four
chapters
four
yarns
is
one
of
the
smallest
strands
in
the
mighty
cable
of
the
scriptures
yet
what
depths
of
the
soul
does
jonahs
deep
sealine
sound
what
a
pregnant
lesson
to
us
is
this
prophet
what
a
noble
thing
is
that
canticle
in
the
fishs
belly
how
billow
like
and
boisterously
grand
we
feel
the
floods
surging
over
us
we
sound
with
him
to
the
kelpy
bottom
of
the
waters
sea
weed
and
all
the
slime
of
the
sea
is
about
us
but
what
is
this
lesson
that
the
book
of
jonah
teaches
shipmates
it
is
a
two
stranded
lesson
a
lesson
to
us
all
as
sinful
men
and
a
lesson
to
me
as
a
pilot
of
the
living
god
as
sinful
men
it
is
a
lesson
to
us
all
because
it
is
a
story
of
the
sin
hard
heartedness
suddenly
awakened
fears
the
swift
punishment
repentance
prayers
and
finally
the
deliverance
and
joy
of
jonah
as
with
all
sinners
among
men
the
sin
of
this
son
of
amittai
was
in
his
wilful
disobedience
of
the
command
of
god
never
mind
now
what
that
command
was
or
how
conveyed
which
he
found
a
hard
command
but
all
the
things
that
god
would
have
us
do
are
hard
for
us
to
do
remember
that
and
hence
he
oftener
commands
us
than
endeavors
to
persuade
and
if
we
obey
god
we
must
disobey
ourselves
and
it
is
in
this
disobeying
ourselves
wherein
the
hardness
of
obeying
god
consists
with
this
sin
of
disobedience
in
him
jonah
still
further
flouts
at
god
by
seeking
to
flee
from
him
he
thinks
that
a
ship
made
by
men
will
carry
him
into
countries
where
god
does
not
reign
but
only
the
captains
of
this
earth
he
skulks
about
the
wharves
of
joppa
and
seeks
a
ship
thats
bound
for
tarshish
there
lurks
perhaps
a
hitherto
unheeded
meaning
here
by
all
accounts
tarshish
could
have
been
no
other
city
than
the
modern
cadiz
thats
the
opinion
of
learned
men
and
where
is
cadiz
shipmates
cadiz
is
in
spain
as
far
by
water
from
joppa
as
jonah
could
possibly
have
sailed
in
those
ancient
days
when
the
atlantic
was
an
almost
unknown
sea
because
joppa
the
modern
jaffa
shipmates
is
on
the
most
easterly
coast
of
the
mediterranean
the
syrian
and
tarshish
or
cadiz
more
than
two
thousand
miles
to
the
westward
from
that
just
outside
the
straits
of
gibraltar
see
ye
not
then
shipmates
that
jonah
sought
to
flee
world
wide
from
god
miserable
man
oh
most
contemptible
and
worthy
of
all
scorn
with
slouched
hat
and
guilty
eye
skulking
from
his
god
prowling
among
the
shipping
like
a
vile
burglar
hastening
to
cross
the
seas
so
disordered
self
condemning
is
his
look
that
had
there
been
policemen
in
those
days
jonah
on
the
mere
suspicion
of
something
wrong
had
been
arrested
ere
he
touched
a
deck
how
plainly
hes
a
fugitive
no
baggage
not
a
hat
box
valise
or
carpet
bag
no
friends
accompany
him
to
the
wharf
with
their
adieux
at
last
after
much
dodging
search
he
finds
the
tarshish
ship
receiving
the
last
items
of
her
cargo
and
as
he
steps
on
board
to
see
its
captain
in
the
cabin
all
the
sailors
for
the
moment
desist
from
hoisting
in
the
goods
to
mark
the
strangers
evil
eye
jonah
sees
this
but
in
vain
he
tries
to
look
all
ease
and
confidence
in
vain
essays
his
wretched
smile
strong
intuitions
of
the
man
assure
the
mariners
he
can
be
no
innocent
in
their
gamesome
but
still
serious
way
one
whispers
to
the
other
jack
hes
robbed
a
widow
orjoe
do
you
mark
him
hes
a
bigamist
orharry
lad
i
guess
hes
the
adulterer
that
broke
jail
in
old
gomorrah
or
belike
one
of
the
missing
murderers
from
sodom
another
runs
to
read
the
bill
thats
stuck
against
the
spile
upon
the
wharf
to
which
the
ship
is
moored
offering
five
hundred
gold
coins
for
the
apprehension
of
a
parricide
and
containing
a
description
of
his
person
he
reads
and
looks
from
jonah
to
the
bill
while
all
his
sympathetic
shipmates
now
crowd
round
jonah
prepared
to
lay
their
hands
upon
him
frighted
jonah
trembles
and
summoning
all
his
boldness
to
his
face
only
looks
so
much
the
more
a
coward
he
will
not
confess
himself
suspected
but
that
itself
is
strong
suspicion
so
he
makes
the
best
of
it
and
when
the
sailors
find
him
not
to
be
the
man
that
is
advertised
they
let
him
pass
and
he
descends
into
the
cabin
whos
there
cries
the
captain
at
his
busy
desk
hurriedly
making
out
his
papers
for
the
customs
whos
there
oh
how
that
harmless
question
mangles
jonah
for
the
instant
he
almost
turns
to
flee
again
but
he
rallies
i
seek
a
passage
in
this
ship
to
tarshish
how
soon
sail
ye
sir
thus
far
the
busy
captain
had
not
looked
up
to
jonah
though
the
man
now
stands
before
him
but
no
sooner
does
he
hear
that
hollow
voice
than
he
darts
a
scrutinizing
glance
we
sail
with
the
next
coming
tide
at
last
he
slowly
answered
still
intently
eyeing
him
no
sooner
sir
soon
enough
for
any
honest
man
that
goes
a
passenger
ha
jonah
thats
another
stab
but
he
swiftly
calls
away
the
captain
from
that
scent
ill
sail
with
ye
he
says
the
passage
money
how
much
is
that
ill
pay
now
for
it
is
particularly
written
shipmates
as
if
it
were
a
thing
not
to
be
overlooked
in
this
historythat
he
paid
the
fare
thereof
ere
the
craft
did
sail
and
taken
with
the
context
this
is
full
of
meaning
now
jonahs
captain
shipmates
was
one
whose
discernment
detects
crime
in
any
but
whose
cupidity
exposes
it
only
in
the
penniless
in
this
world
shipmates
sin
that
pays
its
way
can
travel
freely
and
without
a
passport
whereas
virtue
if
a
pauper
is
stopped
at
all
frontiers
so
jonahs
captain
prepares
to
test
the
length
of
jonahs
purse
ere
he
judge
him
openly
he
charges
him
thrice
the
usual
sum
and
its
assented
to
then
the
captain
knows
that
jonah
is
a
fugitive
but
at
the
same
time
resolves
to
help
a
flight
that
paves
its
rear
with
gold
yet
when
jonah
fairly
takes
out
his
purse
prudent
suspicions
still
molest
the
captain
he
rings
every
coin
to
find
a
counterfeit
not
a
forger
any
way
he
mutters
and
jonah
is
put
down
for
his
passage
point
out
my
state
room
sir
says
jonah
now
im
travel
weary
i
need
sleep
thou
lookst
like
it
says
the
captain
theres
thy
room
jonah
enters
and
would
lock
the
door
but
the
lock
contains
no
key
hearing
him
foolishly
fumbling
there
the
captain
laughs
lowly
to
himself
and
mutters
something
about
the
doors
of
convicts
cells
being
never
allowed
to
be
locked
within
all
dressed
and
dusty
as
he
is
jonah
throws
himself
into
his
berth
and
finds
the
little
state
room
ceiling
almost
resting
on
his
forehead
the
air
is
close
and
jonah
gasps
then
in
that
contracted
hole
sunk
too
beneath
the
ships
water
line
jonah
feels
the
heralding
presentiment
of
that
stifling
hour
when
the
whale
shall
hold
him
in
the
smallest
of
his
bowels
wards
screwed
at
its
axis
against
the
side
a
swinging
lamp
slightly
oscillates
in
jonahs
room
and
the
ship
heeling
over
towards
the
wharf
with
the
weight
of
the
last
bales
received
the
lamp
flame
and
all
though
in
slight
motion
still
maintains
a
permanent
obliquity
with
reference
to
the
room
though
in
truth
infallibly
straight
itself
it
but
made
obvious
the
false
lying
levels
among
which
it
hung
the
lamp
alarms
and
frightens
jonah
as
lying
in
his
berth
his
tormented
eyes
roll
round
the
place
and
this
thus
far
successful
fugitive
finds
no
refuge
for
his
restless
glance
but
that
contradiction
in
the
lamp
more
and
more
appals
him
the
floor
the
ceiling
and
the
side
are
all
awry
oh
so
my
conscience
hangs
in
me
he
groans
straight
upward
so
it
burns
but
the
chambers
of
my
soul
are
all
in
crookedness
like
one
who
after
a
night
of
drunken
revelry
hies
to
his
bed
still
reeling
but
with
conscience
yet
pricking
him
as
the
plungings
of
the
roman
race
horse
but
so
much
the
more
strike
his
steel
tags
into
him
as
one
who
in
that
miserable
plight
still
turns
and
turns
in
giddy
anguish
praying
god
for
annihilation
until
the
fit
be
passed
and
at
last
amid
the
whirl
of
woe
he
feels
a
deep
stupor
steals
over
him
as
over
the
man
who
bleeds
to
death
for
conscience
is
the
wound
and
theres
naught
to
staunch
it
so
after
sore
wrestlings
in
his
berth
jonahs
prodigy
of
ponderous
misery
drags
him
drowning
down
to
sleep
and
now
the
time
of
tide
has
come
the
ship
casts
off
her
cables
and
from
the
deserted
wharf
the
uncheered
ship
for
tarshish
all
careening
glides
to
sea
that
ship
my
friends
was
the
first
of
recorded
smugglers
the
contraband
was
jonah
but
the
sea
rebels
he
will
not
bear
the
wicked
burden
a
dreadful
storm
comes
on
the
ship
is
like
to
break
but
now
when
the
boatswain
calls
all
hands
to
lighten
her
when
boxes
bales
and
jars
are
clattering
overboard
when
the
wind
is
shrieking
and
the
men
are
yelling
and
every
plank
thunders
with
trampling
feet
right
over
jonahs
head
in
all
this
raging
tumult
jonah
sleeps
his
hideous
sleep
he
sees
no
black
sky
and
raging
sea
feels
not
the
reeling
timbers
and
little
hears
he
or
heeds
he
the
far
rush
of
the
mighty
whale
which
even
now
with
open
mouth
is
cleaving
the
seas
after
him
aye
shipmates
jonah
was
gone
down
into
the
sides
of
the
ship
a
berth
in
the
cabin
as
i
have
taken
it
and
was
fast
asleep
but
the
frightened
master
comes
to
him
and
shrieks
in
his
dead
ear
what
meanest
thou
o
sleeper
arise
startled
from
his
lethargy
by
that
direful
cry
jonah
staggers
to
his
feet
and
stumbling
to
the
deck
grasps
a
shroud
to
look
out
upon
the
sea
but
at
that
moment
he
is
sprung
upon
by
a
panther
billow
leaping
over
the
bulwarks
wave
after
wave
thus
leaps
into
the
ship
and
finding
no
speedy
vent
runs
roaring
fore
and
aft
till
the
mariners
come
nigh
to
drowning
while
yet
afloat
and
ever
as
the
white
moon
shows
her
affrighted
face
from
the
steep
gullies
in
the
blackness
overhead
aghast
jonah
sees
the
rearing
bowsprit
pointing
high
upward
but
soon
beat
downward
again
towards
the
tormented
deep
terrors
upon
terrors
run
shouting
through
his
soul
in
all
his
cringing
attitudes
the
god
fugitive
is
now
too
plainly
known
the
sailors
mark
him
more
and
more
certain
grow
their
suspicions
of
him
and
at
last
fully
to
test
the
truth
by
referring
the
whole
matter
to
high
heaven
they
fall
to
casting
lots
to
see
for
whose
cause
this
great
tempest
was
upon
them
the
lot
is
jonahs
that
discovered
then
how
furiously
they
mob
him
with
their
questions
what
is
thine
occupation
whence
comest
thou
thy
country
what
people
but
mark
now
my
shipmates
the
behavior
of
poor
jonah
the
eager
mariners
but
ask
him
who
he
is
and
where
from
whereas
they
not
only
receive
an
answer
to
those
questions
but
likewise
another
answer
to
a
question
not
put
by
them
but
the
unsolicited
answer
is
forced
from
jonah
by
the
hard
hand
of
god
that
is
upon
him
i
am
a
hebrew
he
cries
and
then
i
fear
the
lord
the
god
of
heaven
who
hath
made
the
sea
and
the
dry
land
fear
him
o
jonah
aye
well
mightest
thou
fear
the
lord
god
then
straightway
he
now
goes
on
to
make
a
full
confession
whereupon
the
mariners
became
more
and
more
appalled
but
still
are
pitiful
for
when
jonah
not
yet
supplicating
god
for
mercy
since
he
but
too
well
knew
the
darkness
of
his
deserts
when
wretched
jonah
cries
out
to
them
to
take
him
and
cast
him
forth
into
the
sea
for
he
knew
that
for
his
sake
this
great
tempest
was
upon
them
they
mercifully
turn
from
him
and
seek
by
other
means
to
save
the
ship
but
all
in
vain
the
indignant
gale
howls
louder
then
with
one
hand
raised
invokingly
to
god
with
the
other
they
not
unreluctantly
lay
hold
of
jonah
and
now
behold
jonah
taken
up
as
an
anchor
and
dropped
into
the
sea
when
instantly
an
oily
calmness
floats
out
from
the
east
and
the
sea
is
still
as
jonah
carries
down
the
gale
with
him
leaving
smooth
water
behind
he
goes
down
in
the
whirling
heart
of
such
a
masterless
commotion
that
he
scarce
heeds
the
moment
when
he
drops
seething
into
the
yawning
jaws
awaiting
him
and
the
whale
shoots
to
all
his
ivory
teeth
like
the
lord
out
of
the
fishs
belly
but
observe
his
prayer
and
so
many
white
bolts
upon
his
prison
then
jonah
prayed
unto
learn
a
weighty
lesson
for
sinful
as
he
is
jonah
does
not
weep
and
wail
for
direct
deliverance
he
feels
that
his
dreadful
punishment
is
just
he
leaves
all
his
deliverance
to
god
contenting
himself
with
this
that
spite
of
all
his
pains
and
pangs
he
will
still
look
towards
his
holy
temple
and
here
shipmates
is
true
and
faithful
repentance
not
clamorous
for
pardon
but
grateful
for
punishment
and
how
pleasing
to
god
was
this
conduct
in
jonah
is
shown
in
the
eventual
deliverance
of
him
from
the
sea
and
the
whale
shipmates
i
do
not
place
jonah
before
you
to
be
copied
for
his
sin
but
i
do
place
him
before
you
as
a
model
for
repentance
sin
not
but
if
you
do
take
heed
to
repent
of
it
like
jonah
while
he
was
speaking
these
words
the
howling
of
the
shrieking
slanting
storm
without
seemed
to
add
new
power
to
the
preacher
who
when
describing
jonahs
sea
storm
seemed
tossed
by
a
storm
himself
his
deep
chest
heaved
as
with
a
ground
swell
his
tossed
arms
seemed
the
warring
elements
at
work
and
the
thunders
that
rolled
away
from
off
his
swarthy
brow
and
the
light
leaping
from
his
eye
made
all
his
simple
hearers
look
on
him
with
a
quick
fear
that
was
strange
to
them
there
now
came
a
lull
in
his
look
as
he
silently
turned
over
the
leaves
of
the
book
once
more
and
at
last
standing
motionless
with
closed
eyes
for
the
moment
seemed
communing
with
god
and
himself
but
again
he
leaned
over
towards
the
people
and
bowing
his
head
lowly
with
an
aspect
of
the
deepest
yet
manliest
humility
he
spake
these
words
shipmates
god
has
laid
but
one
hand
upon
you
both
his
hands
press
upon
me
i
have
read
ye
by
what
murky
light
may
be
mine
the
lesson
that
jonah
teaches
to
all
sinners
and
therefore
to
ye
and
still
more
to
me
for
i
am
a
greater
sinner
than
ye
and
now
how
gladly
would
i
come
down
from
this
mast
head
and
sit
on
the
hatches
there
where
you
sit
and
listen
as
you
listen
while
some
one
of
you
reads
me
that
other
and
more
awful
lesson
which
jonah
teaches
to
me
as
a
pilot
of
the
living
god
how
being
an
anointed
pilot
prophet
or
speaker
of
true
things
and
bidden
by
the
lord
to
sound
those
unwelcome
truths
in
the
ears
of
a
wicked
nineveh
jonah
appalled
at
the
hostility
he
should
raise
fled
from
his
mission
and
sought
to
escape
his
duty
and
his
god
by
taking
ship
at
joppa
but
god
is
everywhere
tarshish
he
never
reached
as
we
have
seen
god
came
upon
him
in
the
whale
and
swallowed
him
down
to
living
gulfs
of
doom
and
with
swift
slantings
tore
him
alonginto
the
midst
of
the
seas
where
the
eddying
depths
sucked
him
ten
thousand
fathoms
down
andthe
weeds
were
wrapped
about
his
head
and
all
the
watery
world
of
woe
bowled
over
him
yet
even
then
beyond
the
reach
of
any
plummet
out
of
the
belly
of
hell
when
the
whale
grounded
upon
the
oceans
utmost
bones
even
then
god
heard
the
engulphed
repenting
prophet
when
he
cried
then
god
spake
unto
the
fish
and
from
the
shuddering
cold
and
blackness
of
the
sea
the
whale
came
breeching
up
towards
the
warm
and
pleasant
sun
and
all
the
delights
of
air
and
earth
andvomited
out
jonah
upon
the
dry
land
when
the
word
of
the
lord
came
a
second
time
and
jonah
bruised
and
beaten
his
ears
like
two
sea
shells
still
multitudinously
murmuring
of
the
ocean
jonah
did
the
almightys
bidding
and
what
was
that
shipmates
to
preach
the
truth
to
the
face
of
falsehood
that
was
it
this
shipmates
this
is
that
other
lesson
and
woe
to
that
pilot
of
the
living
god
who
slights
it
woe
to
him
whom
this
world
charms
from
gospel
duty
woe
to
him
who
seeks
to
pour
oil
upon
the
waters
when
god
has
brewed
them
into
a
gale
woe
to
him
who
seeks
to
please
rather
than
to
appal
woe
to
him
whose
good
name
is
more
to
him
than
goodness
woe
to
him
who
in
this
world
courts
not
dishonor
woe
to
him
who
would
not
be
true
even
though
to
be
false
were
salvation
yea
woe
to
him
who
as
the
great
pilot
paul
has
it
while
preaching
to
others
is
himself
a
castaway
he
drooped
and
fell
away
from
himself
for
a
moment
then
lifting
his
face
to
them
again
showed
a
deep
joy
in
his
eyes
as
he
cried
out
with
a
heavenly
enthusiasm
but
oh
shipmates
on
the
starboard
hand
of
every
woe
there
is
a
sure
delight
and
higher
the
top
of
that
delight
than
the
bottom
of
the
woe
is
deep
is
not
the
main
truck
higher
than
the
kelson
is
low
delight
is
to
him
a
far
far
upward
and
inward
delight
who
against
the
proud
gods
and
commodores
of
this
earth
ever
stands
forth
his
own
inexorable
self
delight
is
to
him
whose
strong
arms
yet
support
him
when
the
ship
of
this
base
treacherous
world
has
gone
down
beneath
him
delight
is
to
him
who
gives
no
quarter
in
the
truth
and
kills
burns
and
destroys
all
sin
though
he
pluck
it
out
from
under
the
robes
of
senators
and
judges
delight
top
gallant
delight
is
to
him
who
acknowledges
no
law
or
lord
but
the
lord
his
god
and
is
only
a
patriot
to
heaven
delight
is
to
him
whom
all
the
waves
of
the
billows
of
the
seas
of
the
boisterous
mob
can
never
shake
from
this
sure
keel
of
the
ages
and
eternal
delight
and
deliciousness
will
be
his
who
coming
to
lay
him
down
can
say
with
his
final
breath
o
father
chiefly
known
to
me
by
thy
rod
mortal
or
immortal
here
i
die
i
have
striven
to
be
thine
more
than
to
be
this
worlds
or
mine
own
yet
this
is
nothing
i
leave
eternity
to
thee
for
what
is
man
that
he
should
live
out
the
lifetime
of
his
god
he
said
no
more
but
slowly
waving
a
benediction
covered
his
face
with
his
hands
and
so
remained
kneeling
till
all
the
people
had
departed
and
he
was
left
alone
in
the
place
returning
to
the
spouter
inn
from
the
chapel
i
found
queequeg
there
quite
alone
he
having
left
the
chapel
before
the
benediction
some
time
he
was
sitting
on
a
bench
before
the
fire
with
his
feet
on
the
stove
hearth
and
in
one
hand
was
holding
close
up
to
his
face
that
little
negro
idol
of
his
peering
hard
into
its
face
and
with
a
jack
knife
gently
whittling
away
at
its
nose
meanwhile
humming
to
himself
in
his
heathenish
way
but
being
now
interrupted
he
put
up
the
image
and
pretty
soon
going
to
the
table
took
up
a
large
book
there
and
placing
it
on
his
lap
began
counting
the
pages
with
deliberate
regularity
at
every
fiftieth
page
as
i
fancied
stopping
a
moment
looking
vacantly
around
him
and
giving
utterance
to
a
long
drawn
gurgling
whistle
of
astonishment
he
would
then
begin
again
at
the
next
fifty
seeming
to
commence
at
number
one
each
time
as
though
he
could
not
count
more
than
fifty
and
it
was
only
by
such
a
large
number
of
fifties
being
found
together
that
his
astonishment
at
the
multitude
of
pages
was
excited
with
much
interest
i
sat
watching
him
savage
though
he
was
and
hideously
marred
about
the
face
at
least
to
my
taste
his
countenance
yet
had
a
something
in
it
which
was
by
no
means
disagreeable
you
cannot
hide
the
soul
through
all
his
unearthly
tattooings
i
thought
i
saw
the
traces
of
a
simple
honest
heart
and
in
his
large
deep
eyes
fiery
black
and
bold
there
seemed
tokens
of
a
spirit
that
would
dare
a
thousand
devils
and
besides
all
this
there
was
a
certain
lofty
bearing
about
the
pagan
which
even
his
uncouthness
could
not
altogether
maim
he
looked
like
a
man
who
had
never
cringed
and
never
had
had
a
creditor
whether
it
was
too
that
his
head
being
shaved
his
forehead
was
drawn
out
in
freer
and
brighter
relief
and
looked
more
expansive
than
it
otherwise
would
this
i
will
not
venture
to
decide
but
certain
it
was
his
head
was
phrenologically
an
excellent
one
it
may
seem
ridiculous
but
it
reminded
me
of
general
washingtons
head
as
seen
in
the
popular
busts
of
him
it
had
the
same
long
regularly
graded
retreating
slope
from
above
the
brows
which
were
likewise
very
projecting
like
two
long
promontories
thickly
wooded
on
top
queequeg
was
george
washington
cannibalistically
developed
whilst
i
was
thus
closely
scanning
him
half
pretending
meanwhile
to
be
looking
out
at
the
storm
from
the
casement
he
never
heeded
my
presence
never
troubled
himself
with
so
much
as
a
single
glance
but
appeared
wholly
occupied
with
counting
the
pages
of
the
marvellous
book
considering
how
sociably
we
had
been
sleeping
together
the
night
previous
and
especially
considering
the
affectionate
arm
i
had
found
thrown
over
me
upon
waking
in
the
morning
i
thought
this
indifference
of
his
very
strange
but
savages
are
strange
beings
at
times
you
do
not
know
exactly
how
to
take
them
at
first
they
are
overawing
their
calm
self
collectedness
of
simplicity
seems
a
socratic
wisdom
i
had
noticed
also
that
queequeg
never
consorted
at
all
or
but
very
little
with
the
other
seamen
in
the
inn
he
made
no
advances
whatever
appeared
to
have
no
desire
to
enlarge
the
circle
of
his
acquaintances
all
this
struck
me
as
mighty
singular
yet
upon
second
thoughts
there
was
something
almost
sublime
in
it
here
was
a
man
some
twenty
thousand
miles
from
home
by
the
way
of
cape
horn
that
is
which
was
the
only
way
he
could
get
there
thrown
among
people
as
strange
to
him
as
though
he
were
in
the
planet
jupiter
and
yet
he
seemed
entirely
at
his
ease
preserving
the
utmost
serenity
content
with
his
own
companionship
always
equal
to
himself
surely
this
was
a
touch
of
fine
philosophy
though
no
doubt
he
had
never
heard
there
was
such
a
thing
as
that
but
perhaps
to
be
true
philosophers
we
mortals
should
not
be
conscious
of
so
living
or
so
striving
so
soon
as
i
hear
that
such
or
such
a
man
gives
himself
out
for
a
philosopher
i
conclude
that
like
the
dyspeptic
old
woman
he
must
have
broken
his
digester
as
i
sat
there
in
that
now
lonely
room
the
fire
burning
low
in
that
mild
stage
when
after
its
first
intensity
has
warmed
the
air
it
then
only
glows
to
be
looked
at
the
evening
shades
and
phantoms
gathering
round
the
casements
and
peering
in
upon
us
silent
solitary
twain
the
storm
booming
without
in
solemn
swells
i
began
to
be
sensible
of
strange
feelings
i
felt
a
melting
in
me
no
more
my
splintered
heart
and
maddened
hand
were
turned
against
the
wolfish
world
this
soothing
savage
had
redeemed
it
there
he
sat
his
very
indifference
speaking
a
nature
in
which
there
lurked
no
civilized
hypocrisies
and
bland
deceits
wild
he
was
a
very
sight
of
sights
to
see
yet
i
began
to
feel
myself
mysteriously
drawn
towards
him
and
those
same
things
that
would
have
repelled
most
others
they
were
the
very
magnets
that
thus
drew
me
ill
try
a
pagan
friend
thought
i
since
christian
kindness
has
proved
but
hollow
courtesy
i
drew
my
bench
near
him
and
made
some
friendly
signs
and
hints
doing
my
best
to
talk
with
him
meanwhile
at
first
he
little
noticed
these
advances
but
presently
upon
my
referring
to
his
last
nights
hospitalities
he
made
out
to
ask
me
whether
we
were
again
to
be
bedfellows
i
told
him
yes
whereat
i
thought
he
looked
pleased
perhaps
a
little
complimented
we
then
turned
over
the
book
together
and
i
endeavored
to
explain
to
him
the
purpose
of
the
printing
and
the
meaning
of
the
few
pictures
that
were
in
it
thus
i
soon
engaged
his
interest
and
from
that
we
went
to
jabbering
the
best
we
could
about
the
various
outer
sights
to
be
seen
in
this
famous
town
soon
i
proposed
a
social
smoke
and
producing
his
pouch
and
tomahawk
he
quietly
offered
me
a
puff
and
then
we
sat
exchanging
puffs
from
that
wild
pipe
of
his
and
keeping
it
regularly
passing
between
us
if
there
yet
lurked
any
ice
of
indifference
towards
me
in
the
pagans
breast
this
pleasant
genial
smoke
we
had
soon
thawed
it
out
and
left
us
cronies
he
seemed
to
take
to
me
quite
as
naturally
and
unbiddenly
as
i
to
him
and
when
our
smoke
was
over
he
pressed
his
forehead
against
mine
clasped
me
round
the
waist
and
said
that
henceforth
we
were
married
meaning
in
his
countrys
phrase
that
we
were
bosom
friends
he
would
gladly
die
for
me
if
need
should
be
in
a
countryman
this
sudden
flame
of
friendship
would
have
seemed
far
too
premature
a
thing
to
be
much
distrusted
but
in
this
simple
savage
those
old
rules
would
not
apply
after
supper
and
another
social
chat
and
smoke
we
went
to
our
room
together
he
made
me
a
present
of
his
embalmed
head
took
out
his
enormous
tobacco
wallet
and
groping
under
the
tobacco
drew
out
some
thirty
dollars
in
silver
then
spreading
them
on
the
table
and
mechanically
dividing
them
into
two
equal
portions
pushed
one
of
them
towards
me
and
said
it
was
mine
i
was
going
to
remonstrate
but
he
silenced
me
by
pouring
them
into
my
trowsers
pockets
i
let
them
stay
he
then
went
about
his
evening
prayers
took
out
his
idol
and
removed
the
paper
fireboard
by
certain
signs
and
symptoms
i
thought
he
seemed
anxious
for
me
to
join
him
but
well
knowing
what
was
to
follow
i
deliberated
a
moment
whether
in
case
he
invited
me
i
would
comply
or
otherwise
i
was
a
good
christian
born
and
bred
in
the
bosom
of
the
infallible
presbyterian
church
how
then
could
i
unite
with
this
wild
idolator
in
worshipping
his
piece
of
wood
but
what
is
worship
thought
i
do
you
suppose
now
ishmael
that
the
magnanimous
god
of
heaven
and
earth
pagans
and
all
included
can
possibly
be
jealous
of
an
insignificant
bit
of
black
wood
impossible
but
what
is
worship
to
do
the
will
of
god
that
is
worship
and
what
is
the
will
of
god
to
do
to
my
fellow
man
what
i
would
have
my
fellow
man
to
do
to
me
that
is
the
will
of
god
now
queequeg
is
my
fellow
man
and
what
do
i
wish
that
this
queequeg
would
do
to
me
why
unite
with
me
in
my
particular
presbyterian
form
of
worship
consequently
i
must
then
unite
with
him
in
his
ergo
i
must
turn
idolator
so
i
kindled
the
shavings
helped
prop
up
the
innocent
little
idol
offered
him
burnt
biscuit
with
queequeg
salamed
before
him
twice
or
thrice
kissed
his
nose
and
that
done
we
undressed
and
went
to
bed
at
peace
with
our
own
consciences
and
all
the
world
but
we
did
not
go
to
sleep
without
some
little
chat
how
it
is
i
know
not
but
there
is
no
place
like
a
bed
for
confidential
disclosures
between
friends
man
and
wife
they
say
there
open
the
very
bottom
of
their
souls
to
each
other
and
some
old
couples
often
lie
and
chat
over
old
times
till
nearly
morning
thus
then
in
our
hearts
honeymoon
lay
i
and
queequeg
a
cosy
loving
pair
we
had
lain
thus
in
bed
chatting
and
napping
at
short
intervals
and
queequeg
now
and
then
affectionately
throwing
his
brown
tattooed
legs
over
mine
and
then
drawing
them
back
so
entirely
sociable
and
free
and
easy
were
we
when
at
last
by
reason
of
our
confabulations
what
little
nappishness
remained
in
us
altogether
departed
and
we
felt
like
getting
up
again
though
day
break
was
yet
some
way
down
the
future
yes
we
became
very
wakeful
so
much
so
that
our
recumbent
position
began
to
grow
wearisome
and
by
little
and
little
we
found
ourselves
sitting
up
the
clothes
well
tucked
around
us
leaning
against
the
head
board
with
our
four
knees
drawn
up
close
together
and
our
two
noses
bending
over
them
as
if
our
knee
pans
were
warming
pans
we
felt
very
nice
and
snug
the
more
so
since
it
was
so
chilly
out
of
doors
indeed
out
of
bed
clothes
too
seeing
that
there
was
no
fire
in
the
room
the
more
so
i
say
because
truly
to
enjoy
bodily
warmth
some
small
part
of
you
must
be
cold
for
there
is
no
quality
in
this
world
that
is
not
what
it
is
merely
by
contrast
nothing
exists
in
itself
if
you
flatter
yourself
that
you
are
all
over
comfortable
and
have
been
so
a
long
time
then
you
cannot
be
said
to
be
comfortable
any
more
but
if
like
queequeg
and
me
in
the
bed
the
tip
of
your
nose
or
the
crown
of
your
head
be
slightly
chilled
why
then
indeed
in
the
general
consciousness
you
feel
most
delightfully
and
unmistakably
warm
for
this
reason
a
sleeping
apartment
should
never
be
furnished
with
a
fire
which
is
one
of
the
luxurious
discomforts
of
the
rich
for
the
height
of
this
sort
of
deliciousness
is
to
have
nothing
but
the
blanket
between
you
and
your
snugness
and
the
cold
of
the
outer
air
then
there
you
lie
like
the
one
warm
spark
in
the
heart
of
an
arctic
crystal
we
had
been
sitting
in
this
crouching
manner
for
some
time
when
all
at
once
i
thought
i
would
open
my
eyes
for
when
between
sheets
whether
by
day
or
by
night
and
whether
asleep
or
awake
i
have
a
way
of
always
keeping
my
eyes
shut
in
order
the
more
to
concentrate
the
snugness
of
being
in
bed
because
no
man
can
ever
feel
his
own
identity
aright
except
his
eyes
be
closed
as
if
darkness
were
indeed
the
proper
element
of
our
essences
though
light
be
more
congenial
to
our
clayey
part
upon
opening
my
eyes
then
and
coming
out
of
my
own
pleasant
and
self
created
darkness
into
the
imposed
and
coarse
outer
gloom
of
the
unilluminated
twelve
oclock
at
night
i
experienced
a
disagreeable
revulsion
nor
did
i
at
all
object
to
the
hint
from
queequeg
that
perhaps
it
were
best
to
strike
a
light
seeing
that
we
were
so
wide
awake
and
besides
he
felt
a
strong
desire
to
have
a
few
quiet
puffs
from
his
tomahawk
be
it
said
that
though
i
had
felt
such
a
strong
repugnance
to
his
smoking
in
the
bed
the
night
before
yet
see
how
elastic
our
stiff
prejudices
grow
when
love
once
comes
to
bend
them
for
now
i
liked
nothing
better
than
to
have
queequeg
smoking
by
me
even
in
bed
because
he
seemed
to
be
full
of
such
serene
household
joy
then
i
no
more
felt
unduly
concerned
for
the
landlords
policy
of
insurance
i
was
only
alive
to
the
condensed
confidential
comfortableness
of
sharing
a
pipe
and
a
blanket
with
a
real
friend
with
our
shaggy
jackets
drawn
about
our
shoulders
we
now
passed
the
tomahawk
from
one
to
the
other
till
slowly
there
grew
over
us
a
blue
hanging
tester
of
smoke
illuminated
by
the
flame
of
the
new
lit
lamp
whether
it
was
that
this
undulating
tester
rolled
the
savage
away
to
far
distant
scenes
i
know
not
but
he
now
spoke
of
his
native
island
and
eager
to
hear
his
history
i
begged
him
to
go
on
and
tell
it
he
gladly
complied
though
at
the
time
i
but
ill
comprehended
not
a
few
of
his
words
yet
subsequent
disclosures
when
i
had
become
more
familiar
with
his
broken
phraseology
now
enable
me
to
present
the
whole
story
such
as
it
may
prove
in
the
mere
skeleton
i
give
queequeg
was
a
native
of
kokovoko
an
island
far
away
to
the
west
and
south
it
is
not
down
in
any
map
true
places
never
are
when
a
new
hatched
savage
running
wild
about
his
native
woodlands
in
a
grass
clout
followed
by
the
nibbling
goats
as
if
he
were
a
green
sapling
even
then
in
queequegs
ambitious
soul
lurked
a
strong
desire
to
see
something
more
of
christendom
than
a
specimen
whaler
or
two
his
father
was
a
high
chief
a
king
his
uncle
a
high
priest
and
on
the
maternal
side
he
boasted
aunts
who
were
the
wives
of
unconquerable
warriors
there
was
excellent
blood
in
his
veins
royal
stuff
though
sadly
vitiated
i
fear
by
the
cannibal
propensity
he
nourished
in
his
untutored
youth
a
sag
harbor
ship
visited
his
fathers
bay
and
queequeg
sought
a
passage
to
christian
lands
but
the
ship
having
her
full
complement
of
seamen
spurned
his
suit
and
not
all
the
king
his
fathers
influence
could
prevail
but
queequeg
vowed
a
vow
alone
in
his
canoe
he
paddled
off
to
a
distant
strait
which
he
knew
the
ship
must
pass
through
when
she
quitted
the
island
on
one
side
was
a
coral
reef
on
the
other
a
low
tongue
of
land
covered
with
mangrove
thickets
that
grew
out
into
the
water
hiding
his
canoe
still
afloat
among
these
thickets
with
its
prow
seaward
he
sat
down
in
the
stern
paddle
low
in
hand
and
when
the
ship
was
gliding
by
like
a
flash
he
darted
out
gained
her
side
with
one
backward
dash
of
his
foot
capsized
and
sank
his
canoe
climbed
up
the
chains
and
throwing
himself
at
full
length
upon
the
deck
grappled
a
ringbolt
there
and
swore
not
to
let
it
go
though
hacked
in
pieces
in
vain
the
captain
threatened
to
throw
him
overboard
suspended
a
cutlass
over
his
naked
wrists
queequeg
was
the
son
of
a
king
and
queequeg
budged
not
struck
by
his
desperate
dauntlessness
and
his
wild
desire
to
visit
christendom
the
captain
at
last
relented
and
told
him
he
might
make
himself
at
home
but
this
fine
young
savage
this
sea
prince
of
wales
never
saw
the
captains
cabin
they
put
him
down
among
the
sailors
and
made
a
whaleman
of
him
but
like
czar
peter
content
to
toil
in
the
shipyards
of
foreign
cities
queequeg
disdained
no
seeming
ignominy
if
thereby
he
might
happily
gain
the
power
of
enlightening
his
untutored
countrymen
for
at
bottom
so
he
told
me
he
was
actuated
by
a
profound
desire
to
learn
among
the
christians
the
arts
whereby
to
make
his
people
still
happier
than
they
were
and
more
than
that
still
better
than
they
were
but
alas
the
practices
of
whalemen
soon
convinced
him
that
even
christians
could
be
both
miserable
and
wicked
infinitely
more
so
than
all
his
fathers
heathens
arrived
at
last
in
old
sag
harbor
and
seeing
what
the
sailors
did
there
and
then
going
on
to
nantucket
and
seeing
how
they
spent
their
wages
in
that
place
also
poor
queequeg
gave
it
up
for
lost
thought
he
its
a
wicked
world
in
all
meridians
ill
die
a
pagan
and
thus
an
old
idolator
at
heart
he
yet
lived
among
these
christians
wore
their
clothes
and
tried
to
talk
their
gibberish
hence
the
queer
ways
about
him
though
now
some
time
from
home
by
hints
i
asked
him
whether
he
did
not
propose
going
back
and
having
a
coronation
since
he
might
now
consider
his
father
dead
and
gone
he
being
very
old
and
feeble
at
the
last
accounts
he
answered
no
not
yet
and
added
that
he
was
fearful
christianity
or
rather
christians
had
unfitted
him
for
ascending
the
pure
and
undefiled
throne
of
thirty
pagan
kings
before
him
but
by
and
by
he
said
he
would
return
as
soon
as
he
felt
himself
baptized
again
for
the
nonce
however
he
proposed
to
sail
about
and
sow
his
wild
oats
in
all
four
oceans
they
had
made
a
harpooneer
of
him
and
that
barbed
iron
was
in
lieu
of
a
sceptre
now
i
asked
him
what
might
be
his
immediate
purpose
touching
his
future
movements
he
answered
to
go
to
sea
again
in
his
old
vocation
upon
this
i
told
him
that
whaling
was
my
own
design
and
informed
him
of
my
intention
to
sail
out
of
nantucket
as
being
the
most
promising
port
for
an
adventurous
whaleman
to
embark
from
he
at
once
resolved
to
accompany
me
to
that
island
ship
aboard
the
same
vessel
get
into
the
same
watch
the
same
boat
the
same
mess
with
me
in
short
to
share
my
every
hap
with
both
my
hands
in
his
boldly
dip
into
the
potluck
of
both
worlds
to
all
this
i
joyously
assented
for
besides
the
affection
i
now
felt
for
queequeg
he
was
an
experienced
harpooneer
and
as
such
could
not
fail
to
be
of
great
usefulness
to
one
who
like
me
was
wholly
ignorant
of
the
mysteries
of
whaling
though
well
acquainted
with
the
sea
as
known
to
merchant
seamen
his
story
being
ended
with
his
pipes
last
dying
puff
queequeg
embraced
me
pressed
his
forehead
against
mine
and
blowing
out
the
light
we
rolled
over
from
each
other
this
way
and
that
and
very
soon
were
sleeping
wheelbarrow
next
morning
monday
after
disposing
of
the
embalmed
head
to
a
barber
for
a
block
i
settled
my
own
and
comrades
bill
using
however
my
comrades
money
the
grinning
landlord
as
well
as
the
boarders
seemed
amazingly
tickled
at
the
sudden
friendship
which
had
sprung
up
between
me
and
queequeg
especially
as
peter
coffins
cock
and
bull
stories
about
him
had
previously
so
much
alarmed
me
concerning
the
very
person
whom
i
now
companied
with
we
borrowed
a
wheelbarrow
and
embarking
our
things
including
my
own
poor
carpet
bag
and
queequegs
canvas
sack
and
hammock
away
we
went
down
to
the
moss
the
little
nantucket
packet
schooner
moored
at
the
wharf
as
we
were
going
along
the
people
stared
not
at
queequeg
so
much
for
they
were
used
to
seeing
cannibals
like
him
in
their
streets
but
at
seeing
him
and
me
upon
such
confidential
terms
but
we
heeded
them
not
going
along
wheeling
the
barrow
by
turns
and
queequeg
now
and
then
stopping
to
adjust
the
sheath
on
his
harpoon
barbs
i
asked
him
why
he
carried
such
a
troublesome
thing
with
him
ashore
and
whether
all
whaling
ships
did
not
find
their
own
harpoons
to
this
in
substance
he
replied
that
though
what
i
hinted
was
true
enough
yet
he
had
a
particular
affection
for
his
own
harpoon
because
it
was
of
assured
stuff
well
tried
in
many
a
mortal
combat
and
deeply
intimate
with
the
hearts
of
whales
in
short
like
many
inland
reapers
and
mowers
who
go
into
the
farmers
meadows
armed
with
their
own
scythes
though
in
no
wise
obliged
to
furnished
them
even
so
queequeg
for
his
own
private
reasons
preferred
his
own
harpoon
shifting
the
barrow
from
my
hand
to
his
he
told
me
a
funny
story
about
the
first
wheelbarrow
he
had
ever
seen
it
was
in
sag
harbor
the
owners
of
his
ship
it
seems
had
lent
him
one
in
which
to
carry
his
heavy
chest
to
his
boarding
house
not
to
seem
ignorant
about
the
thing
though
in
truth
he
was
entirely
so
concerning
the
precise
way
in
which
to
manage
the
barrow
queequeg
puts
his
chest
upon
it
lashes
it
fast
and
then
shoulders
the
barrow
and
marches
up
the
wharf
why
said
i
queequeg
you
might
have
known
better
than
that
one
would
think
didnt
the
people
laugh
upon
this
he
told
me
another
story
the
people
of
his
island
of
rokovoko
it
seems
at
their
wedding
feasts
express
the
fragrant
water
of
young
cocoanuts
into
a
large
stained
calabash
like
a
punchbowl
and
this
punchbowl
always
forms
the
great
central
ornament
on
the
braided
mat
where
the
feast
is
held
now
a
certain
grand
merchant
ship
once
touched
at
rokovoko
and
its
commander
from
all
accounts
a
very
stately
punctilious
gentleman
at
least
for
a
sea
captain
this
commander
was
invited
to
the
wedding
feast
of
queequegs
sister
a
pretty
young
princess
just
turned
of
ten
well
when
all
the
wedding
guests
were
assembled
at
the
brides
bamboo
cottage
this
captain
marches
in
and
being
assigned
the
post
of
honor
placed
himself
over
against
the
punchbowl
and
between
the
high
priest
and
his
majesty
the
king
queequegs
father
grace
being
said
for
those
people
have
their
grace
as
well
as
we
though
queequeg
told
me
that
unlike
us
who
at
such
times
look
downwards
to
our
platters
they
on
the
contrary
copying
the
ducks
glance
upwards
to
the
great
giver
of
all
feasts
grace
i
say
being
said
the
high
priest
opens
the
banquet
by
the
immemorial
ceremony
of
the
island
that
is
dipping
his
consecrated
and
consecrating
fingers
into
the
bowl
before
the
blessed
beverage
circulates
seeing
himself
placed
next
the
priest
and
noting
the
ceremony
and
thinking
himself
being
captain
of
a
ship
as
having
plain
precedence
over
a
mere
island
king
especially
in
the
kings
own
house
the
captain
coolly
proceeds
to
wash
his
hands
in
the
punch
bowl
taking
it
i
suppose
for
a
huge
finger
glass
now
said
queequeg
what
you
tink
now
didnt
our
people
laugh
at
last
passage
paid
and
luggage
safe
we
stood
on
board
the
schooner
hoisting
sail
it
glided
down
the
acushnet
river
on
one
side
new
bedford
rose
in
terraces
of
streets
their
ice
covered
trees
all
glittering
in
the
clear
cold
air
huge
hills
and
mountains
of
casks
on
casks
were
piled
upon
her
wharves
and
side
by
side
the
world
wandering
whale
ships
lay
silent
and
safely
moored
at
last
while
from
others
came
a
sound
of
carpenters
and
coopers
with
blended
noises
of
fires
and
forges
to
melt
the
pitch
all
betokening
that
new
cruises
were
on
the
start
that
one
most
perilous
and
long
voyage
ended
only
begins
a
second
and
a
second
ended
only
begins
a
third
and
so
on
for
ever
and
for
aye
such
is
the
endlessness
yea
the
intolerableness
of
all
earthly
effort
gaining
the
more
open
water
the
bracing
breeze
waxed
fresh
the
little
moss
tossed
the
quick
foam
from
her
bows
as
a
young
colt
his
snortings
how
i
snuffed
that
tartar
air
how
i
spurned
that
turnpike
earth
that
common
highway
all
over
dented
with
the
marks
of
slavish
heels
and
hoofs
and
turned
me
to
admire
the
magnanimity
of
the
sea
which
will
permit
no
records
at
the
same
foam
fountain
queequeg
seemed
to
drink
and
reel
with
me
his
dusky
nostrils
swelled
apart
he
showed
his
filed
and
pointed
teeth
on
on
we
flew
and
our
offing
gained
the
moss
did
homage
to
the
blast
ducked
and
dived
her
brows
as
a
slave
before
the
sultan
sideways
leaning
we
sideways
darted
every
ropeyarn
tingling
like
a
wire
the
two
tall
masts
buckling
like
indian
canes
in
land
tornadoes
so
full
of
this
reeling
scene
were
we
as
we
stood
by
the
plunging
bowsprit
that
for
some
time
we
did
not
notice
the
jeering
glances
of
the
passengers
a
lubber
like
assembly
who
marvelled
that
two
fellow
beings
should
be
so
companionable
as
though
a
white
man
were
anything
more
dignified
than
a
whitewashed
negro
but
there
were
some
boobies
and
bumpkins
there
who
by
their
intense
greenness
must
have
come
from
the
heart
and
centre
of
all
verdure
queequeg
caught
one
of
these
young
saplings
mimicking
him
behind
his
back
i
thought
the
bumpkins
hour
of
doom
was
come
dropping
his
harpoon
the
brawny
savage
caught
him
in
his
arms
and
by
an
almost
miraculous
dexterity
and
strength
sent
him
high
up
bodily
into
the
air
then
slightly
tapping
his
stern
in
mid
somerset
the
fellow
landed
with
bursting
lungs
upon
his
feet
while
queequeg
turning
his
back
upon
him
lighted
his
tomahawk
pipe
and
passed
it
to
me
for
a
puff
capting
capting
yelled
the
bumpkin
running
towards
that
officer
capting
capting
heres
the
devil
hallo
you
sir
cried
the
captain
a
gaunt
rib
of
the
sea
stalking
up
to
queequeg
what
in
thunder
do
you
mean
by
that
dont
you
know
you
might
have
killed
that
chap
what
him
say
said
queequeg
as
he
mildly
turned
to
me
he
say
said
i
that
you
came
near
kill
e
that
man
there
pointing
to
the
still
shivering
greenhorn
kill
e
cried
queequeg
twisting
his
tattooed
face
into
an
unearthly
expression
of
disdain
ah
him
bevy
small
e
fish
e
queequeg
no
kill
e
so
small
e
fish
e
queequeg
kill
e
big
whale
look
you
roared
the
captain
ill
kill
e
you
you
cannibal
if
you
try
any
more
of
your
tricks
aboard
here
so
mind
your
eye
but
it
so
happened
just
then
that
it
was
high
time
for
the
captain
to
mind
his
own
eye
the
prodigious
strain
upon
the
main
sail
had
parted
the
weather
sheet
and
the
tremendous
boom
was
now
flying
from
side
to
side
completely
sweeping
the
entire
after
part
of
the
deck
the
poor
fellow
whom
queequeg
had
handled
so
roughly
was
swept
overboard
all
hands
were
in
a
panic
and
to
attempt
snatching
at
the
boom
to
stay
it
seemed
madness
it
flew
from
right
to
left
and
back
again
almost
in
one
ticking
of
a
watch
and
every
instant
seemed
on
the
point
of
snapping
into
splinters
nothing
was
done
and
nothing
seemed
capable
of
being
done
those
on
deck
rushed
towards
the
bows
and
stood
eyeing
the
boom
as
if
it
were
the
lower
jaw
of
an
exasperated
whale
in
the
midst
of
this
consternation
queequeg
dropped
deftly
to
his
knees
and
crawling
under
the
path
of
the
boom
whipped
hold
of
a
rope
secured
one
end
to
the
bulwarks
and
then
flinging
the
other
like
a
lasso
caught
it
round
the
boom
as
it
swept
over
his
head
and
at
the
next
jerk
the
spar
was
that
way
trapped
and
all
was
safe
the
schooner
was
run
into
the
wind
and
while
the
hands
were
clearing
away
the
stern
boat
queequeg
stripped
to
the
waist
darted
from
the
side
with
a
long
living
arc
of
a
leap
for
three
minutes
or
more
he
was
seen
swimming
like
a
dog
throwing
his
long
arms
straight
out
before
him
and
by
turns
revealing
his
brawny
shoulders
through
the
freezing
foam
i
looked
at
the
grand
and
glorious
fellow
but
saw
no
one
to
be
saved
the
greenhorn
had
gone
down
shooting
himself
perpendicularly
from
the
water
queequeg
now
took
an
instants
glance
around
him
and
seeming
to
see
just
how
matters
were
dived
down
and
disappeared
a
few
minutes
more
and
he
rose
again
one
arm
still
striking
out
and
with
the
other
dragging
a
lifeless
form
the
boat
soon
picked
them
up
the
poor
bumpkin
was
restored
all
hands
voted
queequeg
a
noble
trump
the
captain
begged
his
pardon
from
that
hour
i
clove
to
queequeg
like
a
barnacle
yea
till
poor
queequeg
took
his
last
long
dive
was
there
ever
such
unconsciousness
he
did
not
seem
to
think
that
he
at
all
deserved
a
medal
from
the
humane
and
magnanimous
societies
he
only
asked
for
water
fresh
water
something
to
wipe
the
brine
off
that
done
he
put
on
dry
clothes
lighted
his
pipe
and
leaning
against
the
bulwarks
and
mildly
eyeing
those
around
him
seemed
to
be
saying
to
himself
its
a
mutual
joint
stock
world
in
all
meridians
we
cannibals
must
help
these
christians
nothing
more
happened
on
the
passage
worthy
the
mentioning
so
after
a
fine
run
we
safely
arrived
in
nantucket
nantucket
take
out
your
map
and
look
at
it
see
what
a
real
corner
of
the
world
it
occupies
how
it
stands
there
away
off
shore
more
lonely
than
the
eddystone
lighthouse
look
at
it
a
mere
hillock
and
elbow
of
sand
all
beach
without
a
background
there
is
more
sand
there
than
you
would
use
in
twenty
years
as
a
substitute
for
blotting
paper
some
gamesome
wights
will
tell
you
that
they
have
to
plant
weeds
there
they
dont
grow
naturally
that
they
import
canada
thistles
that
they
have
to
send
beyond
seas
for
a
spile
to
stop
a
leak
in
an
oil
cask
that
pieces
of
wood
in
nantucket
are
carried
about
like
bits
of
the
true
cross
in
rome
that
people
there
plant
toadstools
before
their
houses
to
get
under
the
shade
in
summer
time
that
one
blade
of
grass
makes
an
oasis
three
blades
in
a
days
walk
a
prairie
that
they
wear
quicksand
shoes
something
like
laplander
snowshoes
that
they
are
so
shut
up
belted
about
every
way
inclosed
surrounded
and
made
an
utter
island
of
by
the
ocean
that
to
their
very
chairs
and
tables
small
clams
will
sometimes
be
found
adhering
as
to
the
backs
of
sea
turtles
but
these
extravaganzas
only
show
that
nantucket
is
no
illinois
look
now
at
the
wondrous
traditional
story
of
how
this
island
was
settled
by
the
red
men
thus
goes
the
legend
in
olden
times
an
eagle
swooped
down
upon
the
new
england
coast
and
carried
off
an
infant
indian
in
his
talons
with
loud
lament
the
parents
saw
their
child
borne
out
of
sight
over
the
wide
waters
they
resolved
to
follow
in
the
same
direction
setting
out
in
their
canoes
after
a
perilous
passage
they
discovered
the
island
and
there
they
found
an
empty
ivory
casket
the
poor
little
indians
skeleton
what
wonder
then
that
these
nantucketers
born
on
a
beach
should
take
to
the
sea
for
a
livelihood
they
first
caught
crabs
and
quohogs
in
the
sand
grown
bolder
they
waded
out
with
nets
for
mackerel
more
experienced
they
pushed
off
in
boats
and
captured
cod
and
at
last
launching
a
navy
of
great
ships
on
the
sea
explored
this
watery
world
put
an
incessant
belt
of
circumnavigations
round
it
peeped
in
at
behrings
straits
and
in
all
seasons
and
all
oceans
declared
everlasting
war
with
the
mightiest
animated
mass
that
has
survived
the
flood
most
monstrous
and
most
mountainous
that
himmalehan
salt
sea
mastodon
clothed
with
such
portentousness
of
unconscious
power
that
his
very
panics
are
more
to
be
dreaded
than
his
most
fearless
and
malicious
assaults
and
thus
have
these
naked
nantucketers
these
sea
hermits
issuing
from
their
ant
hill
in
the
sea
overrun
and
conquered
the
watery
world
like
so
many
alexanders
parcelling
out
among
them
the
atlantic
pacific
and
indian
oceans
as
the
three
pirate
powers
did
poland
let
america
add
mexico
to
texas
and
pile
cuba
upon
canada
let
the
english
overswarm
all
india
and
hang
out
their
blazing
banner
from
the
sun
two
thirds
of
this
terraqueous
globe
are
the
nantucketers
for
the
sea
is
his
he
owns
it
as
emperors
own
empires
other
seamen
having
but
a
right
of
way
through
it
merchant
ships
are
but
extension
bridges
armed
ones
but
floating
forts
even
pirates
and
privateers
though
following
the
sea
as
highwaymen
the
road
they
but
plunder
other
ships
other
fragments
of
the
land
like
themselves
without
seeking
to
draw
their
living
from
the
bottomless
deep
itself
the
nantucketer
he
alone
resides
and
riots
on
the
sea
he
alone
in
bible
language
goes
down
to
it
in
ships
to
and
fro
ploughing
it
as
his
own
special
plantation
there
is
his
home
there
lies
his
business
which
a
noahs
flood
would
not
interrupt
though
it
overwhelmed
all
the
millions
in
china
he
lives
on
the
sea
as
prairie
cocks
in
the
prairie
he
hides
among
the
waves
he
climbs
them
as
chamois
hunters
climb
the
alps
for
years
he
knows
not
the
land
so
that
when
he
comes
to
it
at
last
it
smells
like
another
world
more
strangely
than
the
moon
would
to
an
earthsman
with
the
landless
gull
that
at
sunset
folds
her
wings
and
is
rocked
to
sleep
between
billows
so
at
nightfall
the
nantucketer
out
of
sight
of
land
furls
his
sails
and
lays
him
to
his
rest
while
under
his
very
pillow
rush
herds
of
walruses
and
whales
it
was
quite
late
in
the
evening
when
the
little
moss
came
snugly
to
anchor
and
queequeg
and
i
went
ashore
so
we
could
attend
to
no
business
that
day
at
least
none
but
a
supper
and
a
bed
the
landlord
of
the
spouter
inn
had
recommended
us
to
his
cousin
hosea
hussey
of
the
try
pots
whom
he
asserted
to
be
the
proprietor
of
one
of
the
best
kept
hotels
in
all
nantucket
and
moreover
he
had
assured
us
that
cousin
hosea
as
he
called
him
was
famous
for
his
chowders
in
short
he
plainly
hinted
that
we
could
not
possibly
do
better
than
try
pot
luck
at
the
try
pots
but
the
directions
he
had
given
us
about
keeping
a
yellow
warehouse
on
our
starboard
hand
till
we
opened
a
white
church
to
the
larboard
and
then
keeping
that
on
the
larboard
hand
till
we
made
a
corner
three
points
to
the
starboard
and
that
done
then
ask
the
first
man
we
met
where
the
place
was
these
crooked
directions
of
his
very
much
puzzled
us
at
first
especially
as
at
the
outset
queequeg
insisted
that
the
yellow
warehouse
our
first
point
of
departure
must
be
left
on
the
larboard
hand
whereas
i
had
understood
peter
coffin
to
say
it
was
on
the
starboard
however
by
dint
of
beating
about
a
little
in
the
dark
and
now
and
then
knocking
up
a
peaceable
inhabitant
to
inquire
the
way
we
at
last
came
to
something
which
there
was
no
mistaking
two
enormous
wooden
pots
painted
black
and
suspended
by
asses
ears
swung
from
the
cross
trees
of
an
old
top
mast
planted
in
front
of
an
old
doorway
the
horns
of
the
cross
trees
were
sawed
off
on
the
other
side
so
that
this
old
top
mast
looked
not
a
little
like
a
gallows
perhaps
i
was
over
sensitive
to
such
impressions
at
the
time
but
i
could
not
help
staring
at
this
gallows
with
a
vague
misgiving
a
sort
of
crick
was
in
my
neck
as
i
gazed
up
to
the
two
remaining
horns
yes
two
of
them
one
for
queequeg
and
one
for
me
its
ominous
thinks
i
a
coffin
my
innkeeper
upon
landing
in
my
first
whaling
port
tombstones
staring
at
me
in
the
whalemens
chapel
and
here
a
gallows
and
a
pair
of
prodigious
black
pots
too
are
these
last
throwing
out
oblique
hints
touching
tophet
i
was
called
from
these
reflections
by
the
sight
of
a
freckled
woman
with
yellow
hair
and
a
yellow
gown
standing
in
the
porch
of
the
inn
under
a
dull
red
lamp
swinging
there
that
looked
much
like
an
injured
eye
and
carrying
on
a
brisk
scolding
with
a
man
in
a
purple
woollen
shirt
get
along
with
ye
said
she
to
the
man
or
ill
be
combing
ye
come
on
queequeg
said
i
all
right
theres
mrs
hussey
and
so
it
turned
out
mr
hosea
hussey
being
from
home
but
leaving
mrs
hussey
entirely
competent
to
attend
to
all
his
affairs
upon
making
known
our
desires
for
a
supper
and
a
bed
mrs
hussey
postponing
further
scolding
for
the
present
ushered
us
into
a
little
room
and
seating
us
at
a
table
spread
with
the
relics
of
a
recently
concluded
repast
turned
round
to
us
and
said
clam
or
cod
whats
that
about
cods
maam
said
i
with
much
politeness
clam
or
cod
she
repeated
a
clam
for
supper
a
cold
clam
is
that
what
you
mean
mrs
hussey
says
i
but
thats
a
rather
cold
and
clammy
reception
in
the
winter
time
aint
it
mrs
hussey
but
being
in
a
great
hurry
to
resume
scolding
the
man
in
the
purple
shirt
who
was
waiting
for
it
in
the
entry
and
seeming
to
hear
nothing
but
the
word
clam
mrs
hussey
hurried
towards
an
open
door
leading
to
the
kitchen
and
bawling
out
clam
for
two
disappeared
queequeg
said
i
do
you
think
that
we
can
make
out
a
supper
for
us
both
on
one
clam
however
a
warm
savory
steam
from
the
kitchen
served
to
belie
the
apparently
cheerless
prospect
before
us
but
when
that
smoking
chowder
came
in
the
mystery
was
delightfully
explained
oh
sweet
friends
hearken
to
me
it
was
made
of
small
juicy
clams
scarcely
bigger
than
hazel
nuts
mixed
with
pounded
ship
biscuit
and
salted
pork
cut
up
into
little
flakes
the
whole
enriched
with
butter
and
plentifully
seasoned
with
pepper
and
salt
our
appetites
being
sharpened
by
the
frosty
voyage
and
in
particular
queequeg
seeing
his
favorite
fishing
food
before
him
and
the
chowder
being
surpassingly
excellent
we
despatched
it
with
great
expedition
when
leaning
back
a
moment
and
bethinking
me
of
mrs
husseys
clam
and
cod
announcement
i
thought
i
would
try
a
little
experiment
stepping
to
the
kitchen
door
i
uttered
the
word
cod
with
great
emphasis
and
resumed
my
seat
in
a
few
moments
the
savory
steam
came
forth
again
but
with
a
different
flavor
and
in
good
time
a
fine
cod
chowder
was
placed
before
us
we
resumed
business
and
while
plying
our
spoons
in
the
bowl
thinks
i
to
myself
i
wonder
now
if
this
here
has
any
effect
on
the
head
whats
that
stultifying
saying
about
chowder
headed
people
but
look
queequeg
aint
that
a
live
eel
in
your
bowl
wheres
your
harpoon
fishiest
of
all
fishy
places
was
the
try
pots
which
well
deserved
its
name
for
the
pots
there
were
always
boiling
chowders
chowder
for
breakfast
and
chowder
for
dinner
and
chowder
for
supper
till
you
began
to
look
for
fish
bones
coming
through
your
clothes
the
area
before
the
house
was
paved
with
clam
shells
mrs
hussey
wore
a
polished
necklace
of
codfish
vertebra
and
hosea
hussey
had
his
account
books
bound
in
superior
old
shark
skin
there
was
a
fishy
flavor
to
the
milk
too
which
i
could
not
at
all
account
for
till
one
morning
happening
to
take
a
stroll
along
the
beach
among
some
fishermens
boats
i
saw
hoseas
brindled
cow
feeding
on
fish
remnants
and
marching
along
the
sand
with
each
foot
in
a
cods
decapitated
head
looking
very
slip
shod
i
assure
ye
supper
concluded
we
received
a
lamp
and
directions
from
mrs
hussey
concerning
the
nearest
way
to
bed
but
as
queequeg
was
about
to
precede
me
up
the
stairs
the
lady
reached
forth
her
arm
and
demanded
his
harpoon
she
allowed
no
harpoon
in
her
chambers
why
not
said
i
every
true
whaleman
sleeps
with
his
harpoon
but
why
not
because
its
dangerous
says
she
ever
since
young
stiggs
coming
from
that
unfortnt
vyge
of
his
when
he
was
gone
four
years
and
a
half
with
only
three
barrels
of
ile
was
found
dead
in
my
first
floor
back
with
his
harpoon
in
his
side
ever
since
then
i
allow
no
boarders
to
take
sich
dangerous
weepons
in
their
rooms
at
night
so
mr
queequeg
for
she
had
learned
his
name
i
will
just
take
this
here
iron
and
keep
it
for
you
till
morning
but
the
chowder
clam
or
cod
to
morrow
for
breakfast
men
both
says
i
and
lets
have
a
couple
of
smoked
herring
by
way
of
variety
in
bed
we
concocted
our
plans
for
the
morrow
but
to
my
surprise
and
no
small
concern
queequeg
now
gave
me
to
understand
that
he
had
been
diligently
consulting
yojo
the
name
of
his
black
little
god
and
yojo
had
told
him
two
or
three
times
over
and
strongly
insisted
upon
it
everyway
that
instead
of
our
going
together
among
the
whaling
fleet
in
harbor
and
in
concert
selecting
our
craft
instead
of
this
i
say
yojo
earnestly
enjoined
that
the
selection
of
the
ship
should
rest
wholly
with
me
inasmuch
as
yojo
purposed
befriending
us
and
in
order
to
do
so
had
already
pitched
upon
a
vessel
which
if
left
to
myself
i
ishmael
should
infallibly
light
upon
for
all
the
world
as
though
it
had
turned
out
by
chance
and
in
that
vessel
i
must
immediately
ship
myself
for
the
present
irrespective
of
queequeg
i
have
forgotten
to
mention
that
in
many
things
queequeg
placed
great
confidence
in
the
excellence
of
yojos
judgment
and
surprising
forecast
of
things
and
cherished
yojo
with
considerable
esteem
as
a
rather
good
sort
of
god
who
perhaps
meant
well
enough
upon
the
whole
but
in
all
cases
did
not
succeed
in
his
benevolent
designs
now
this
plan
of
queequegs
or
rather
yojos
touching
the
selection
of
our
craft
i
did
not
like
that
plan
at
all
i
had
not
a
little
relied
on
queequegs
sagacity
to
point
out
the
whaler
best
fitted
to
carry
us
and
our
fortunes
securely
but
as
all
my
remonstrances
produced
no
effect
upon
queequeg
i
was
obliged
to
acquiesce
and
accordingly
prepared
to
set
about
this
business
with
a
determined
rushing
sort
of
energy
and
vigor
that
should
quickly
settle
that
trifling
little
affair
next
morning
early
leaving
queequeg
shut
up
with
yojo
in
our
little
bedroom
for
it
seemed
that
it
was
some
sort
of
lent
or
ramadan
or
day
of
fasting
humiliation
and
prayer
with
queequeg
and
yojo
that
day
how
it
was
i
never
could
find
out
for
though
i
applied
myself
to
it
several
times
i
never
could
master
his
liturgies
and
xxxix
articles
leaving
queequeg
then
fasting
on
his
tomahawk
pipe
and
yojo
warming
himself
at
his
sacrificial
fire
of
shavings
i
sallied
out
among
the
shipping
after
much
prolonged
sauntering
and
many
random
inquiries
i
learnt
that
there
were
three
ships
up
for
three
years
voyages
the
devil
dam
the
tit
bit
and
the
pequod
devil
dam
i
do
not
know
the
origin
of
tit
bit
is
obvious
pequod
you
will
no
doubt
remember
was
the
name
of
a
celebrated
tribe
of
massachusetts
indians
now
extinct
as
the
ancient
medes
i
peered
and
pryed
about
the
devil
dam
from
her
hopped
over
to
the
tit
bit
and
finally
going
on
board
the
pequod
looked
around
her
for
a
moment
and
then
decided
that
this
was
the
very
ship
for
us
you
may
have
seen
many
a
quaint
craft
in
your
day
for
aught
i
know
squared
toed
luggers
mountainous
japanese
junks
butter
box
galliots
and
what
not
but
take
my
word
for
it
you
never
saw
such
a
rare
old
craft
as
this
same
rare
old
pequod
she
was
a
ship
of
the
old
school
rather
small
if
anything
with
an
old
fashioned
claw
footed
look
about
her
long
seasoned
and
weather
stained
in
the
typhoons
and
calms
of
all
four
oceans
her
old
hulls
complexion
was
darkened
like
a
french
grenadiers
who
has
alike
fought
in
egypt
and
siberia
her
venerable
bows
looked
bearded
her
masts
cut
somewhere
on
the
coast
of
japan
where
her
original
ones
were
lost
overboard
in
a
gale
her
masts
stood
stiffly
up
like
the
spines
of
the
three
old
kings
of
cologne
her
ancient
decks
were
worn
and
wrinkled
like
the
pilgrim
worshipped
flag
stone
in
canterbury
cathedral
where
beckett
bled
but
to
all
these
her
old
antiquities
were
added
new
and
marvellous
features
pertaining
to
the
wild
business
that
for
more
than
half
a
century
she
had
followed
old
captain
peleg
many
years
her
chief
mate
before
he
commanded
another
vessel
of
his
own
and
now
a
retired
seaman
and
one
of
the
principal
owners
of
the
pequod
this
old
peleg
during
the
term
of
his
chief
mateship
had
built
upon
her
original
grotesqueness
and
inlaid
it
all
over
with
a
quaintness
both
of
material
and
device
unmatched
by
anything
except
it
be
thorkill
hakes
carved
buckler
or
bedstead
she
was
apparelled
like
any
barbaric
ethiopian
emperor
his
neck
heavy
with
pendants
of
polished
ivory
she
was
a
thing
of
trophies
a
cannibal
of
a
craft
tricking
herself
forth
in
the
chased
bones
of
her
enemies
all
round
her
unpanelled
open
bulwarks
were
garnished
like
one
continuous
jaw
with
the
long
sharp
teeth
of
the
sperm
whale
inserted
there
for
pins
to
fasten
her
old
hempen
thews
and
tendons
to
those
thews
ran
not
through
base
blocks
of
land
wood
but
deftly
travelled
over
sheaves
of
sea
ivory
scorning
a
turnstile
wheel
at
her
reverend
helm
she
sported
there
a
tiller
and
that
tiller
was
in
one
mass
curiously
carved
from
the
long
narrow
lower
jaw
of
her
hereditary
foe
the
helmsman
who
steered
by
that
tiller
in
a
tempest
felt
like
the
tartar
when
he
holds
back
his
fiery
steed
by
clutching
its
jaw
a
noble
craft
but
somehow
a
most
melancholy
all
noble
things
are
touched
with
that
now
when
i
looked
about
the
quarter
deck
for
some
one
having
authority
in
order
to
propose
myself
as
a
candidate
for
the
voyage
at
first
i
saw
nobody
but
i
could
not
well
overlook
a
strange
sort
of
tent
or
rather
wigwam
pitched
a
little
behind
the
main
mast
it
seemed
only
a
temporary
erection
used
in
port
it
was
of
a
conical
shape
some
ten
feet
high
consisting
of
the
long
huge
slabs
of
limber
black
bone
taken
from
the
middle
and
highest
part
of
the
jaws
of
the
right
whale
planted
with
their
broad
ends
on
the
deck
a
circle
of
these
slabs
laced
together
mutually
sloped
towards
each
other
and
at
the
apex
united
in
a
tufted
point
where
the
loose
hairy
fibres
waved
to
and
fro
like
a
top
knot
on
some
old
pottowotamie
sachems
head
a
triangular
opening
faced
towards
the
bows
of
the
ship
so
that
the
insider
commanded
a
complete
view
forward
and
half
concealed
in
this
queer
tenement
i
at
length
found
one
who
by
his
aspect
seemed
to
have
authority
and
who
it
being
noon
and
the
ships
work
suspended
was
now
enjoying
respite
from
the
burden
of
command
he
was
seated
on
an
old
fashioned
oaken
chair
wriggling
all
over
with
curious
carving
and
the
bottom
of
which
was
formed
of
a
stout
interlacing
of
the
same
elastic
stuff
of
which
the
wigwam
was
constructed
there
was
nothing
so
very
particular
perhaps
about
the
appearance
of
the
elderly
man
i
saw
he
was
brown
and
brawny
like
most
old
seamen
and
heavily
rolled
up
in
blue
pilot
cloth
cut
in
the
quaker
style
only
there
was
a
fine
and
almost
microscopic
net
work
of
the
minutest
wrinkles
interlacing
round
his
eyes
which
must
have
arisen
from
his
continual
sailings
in
many
hard
gales
and
always
looking
to
windward
for
this
causes
the
muscles
about
the
eyes
to
become
pursed
together
such
eye
wrinkles
are
very
effectual
in
a
scowl
is
this
the
captain
of
the
pequod
said
i
advancing
to
the
door
of
the
tent
supposing
it
be
the
captain
of
the
pequod
what
dost
thou
want
of
him
he
demanded
i
was
thinking
of
shipping
thou
wast
wast
thou
i
see
thou
are
no
nantucketer
ever
been
in
a
stove
boat
no
sir
i
never
have
dost
know
nothing
at
all
about
whaling
i
dare
say
eh
nothing
sir
but
i
have
no
doubt
i
shall
soon
learn
ive
been
several
voyages
in
the
merchant
service
and
i
think
that
merchant
service
be
damned
talk
not
that
lingo
to
me
dost
see
that
leg
ill
take
that
leg
away
from
thy
stern
if
ever
thou
talkest
of
the
marchant
service
to
me
again
marchant
service
indeed
i
suppose
now
ye
feel
considerable
proud
of
having
served
in
those
marchant
ships
but
flukes
man
what
makes
thee
want
to
go
a
whaling
eh
it
looks
a
little
suspicious
dont
it
eh
hast
not
been
a
pirate
hast
thou
didst
not
rob
thy
last
captain
didst
thou
dost
not
think
of
murdering
the
officers
when
thou
gettest
to
sea
i
protested
my
innocence
of
these
things
i
saw
that
under
the
mask
of
these
half
humorous
inuendoes
this
old
seaman
as
an
insulated
quakerish
nantucketer
was
full
of
his
insular
prejudices
and
rather
distrustful
of
all
aliens
unless
they
hailed
from
cape
cod
or
the
vineyard
but
what
takes
thee
a
whaling
i
want
to
know
that
before
i
think
of
shipping
ye
well
sir
i
want
to
see
what
whaling
is
i
want
to
see
the
world
want
to
see
what
whaling
is
eh
have
ye
clapped
eye
on
captain
ahab
who
is
captain
ahab
sir
aye
aye
i
thought
so
captain
ahab
is
the
captain
of
this
ship
i
am
mistaken
then
i
thought
i
was
speaking
to
the
captain
himself
thou
art
speaking
to
captain
peleg
thats
who
ye
are
speaking
to
young
man
it
belongs
to
me
and
captain
bildad
to
see
the
pequod
fitted
out
for
the
voyage
and
supplied
with
all
her
needs
including
crew
we
are
part
owners
and
agents
but
as
i
was
going
to
say
if
thou
wantest
to
know
what
whaling
is
as
thou
tellest
ye
do
i
can
put
ye
in
a
way
of
finding
it
out
before
ye
bind
yourself
to
it
past
backing
out
clap
eye
on
captain
ahab
young
man
and
thou
wilt
find
that
he
has
only
one
leg
what
do
you
mean
sir
was
the
other
one
lost
by
a
whale
lost
by
a
whale
young
man
come
nearer
to
me
it
was
devoured
chewed
up
crunched
by
the
monstrousest
parmacetty
that
ever
chipped
a
boat
ah
ah
i
was
a
little
alarmed
by
his
energy
perhaps
also
a
little
touched
at
the
hearty
grief
in
his
concluding
exclamation
but
said
as
calmly
as
i
could
what
you
say
is
no
doubt
true
enough
sir
but
how
could
i
know
there
was
any
peculiar
ferocity
in
that
particular
whale
though
indeed
i
might
have
inferred
as
much
from
the
simple
fact
of
the
accident
look
ye
now
young
man
thy
lungs
are
a
sort
of
soft
dye
see
thou
dost
not
talk
shark
a
bit
sure
yeve
been
to
sea
before
now
sure
of
that
sir
said
i
i
thought
i
told
you
that
i
had
been
four
voyages
in
the
merchant
hard
down
out
of
that
mind
what
i
said
about
the
marchant
service
dont
aggravate
me
i
wont
have
it
but
let
us
understand
each
other
i
have
given
thee
a
hint
about
what
whaling
is
do
ye
yet
feel
inclined
for
it
i
do
sir
very
good
now
art
thou
the
man
to
pitch
a
harpoon
down
a
live
whales
throat
and
then
jump
after
it
answer
quick
i
am
sir
if
it
should
be
positively
indispensable
to
do
so
not
to
be
got
rid
of
that
is
which
i
dont
take
to
be
the
fact
good
again
now
then
thou
not
only
wantest
to
go
a
whaling
to
find
out
by
experience
what
whaling
is
but
ye
also
want
to
go
in
order
to
see
the
world
was
not
that
what
ye
said
i
thought
so
well
then
just
step
forward
there
and
take
a
peep
over
the
weather
bow
and
then
back
to
me
and
tell
me
what
ye
see
there
for
a
moment
i
stood
a
little
puzzled
by
this
curious
request
not
knowing
exactly
how
to
take
it
whether
humorously
or
in
earnest
but
concentrating
all
his
crows
feet
into
one
scowl
captain
peleg
started
me
on
the
errand
going
forward
and
glancing
over
the
weather
bow
i
perceived
that
the
ship
swinging
to
her
anchor
with
the
flood
tide
was
now
obliquely
pointing
towards
the
open
ocean
the
prospect
was
unlimited
but
exceedingly
monotonous
and
forbidding
not
the
slightest
variety
that
i
could
see
well
whats
the
report
said
peleg
when
i
came
back
what
did
ye
see
not
much
i
replied
nothing
but
water
considerable
horizon
though
and
theres
a
squall
coming
up
i
think
well
what
dost
thou
think
then
of
seeing
the
world
do
ye
wish
to
go
round
cape
horn
to
see
any
more
of
it
eh
cant
ye
see
the
world
where
you
stand
i
was
a
little
staggered
but
go
a
whaling
i
must
and
i
would
and
the
pequod
was
as
good
a
ship
as
any
i
thought
the
best
and
all
this
i
now
repeated
to
peleg
seeing
me
so
determined
he
expressed
his
willingness
to
ship
me
and
thou
mayest
as
well
sign
the
papers
right
off
he
added
come
along
with
ye
and
so
saying
he
led
the
way
below
deck
into
the
cabin
seated
on
the
transom
was
what
seemed
to
me
a
most
uncommon
and
surprising
figure
it
turned
out
to
be
captain
bildad
who
along
with
captain
peleg
was
one
of
the
largest
owners
of
the
vessel
the
other
shares
as
is
sometimes
the
case
in
these
ports
being
held
by
a
crowd
of
old
annuitants
widows
fatherless
children
and
chancery
wards
each
owning
about
the
value
of
a
timber
head
or
a
foot
of
plank
or
a
nail
or
two
in
the
ship
people
in
nantucket
invest
their
money
in
whaling
vessels
the
same
way
that
you
do
yours
in
approved
state
stocks
bringing
in
good
interest
now
bildad
like
peleg
and
indeed
many
other
nantucketers
was
a
quaker
the
island
having
been
originally
settled
by
that
sect
and
to
this
day
its
inhabitants
in
general
retain
in
an
uncommon
measure
the
peculiarities
of
the
quaker
only
variously
and
anomalously
modified
by
things
altogether
alien
and
heterogeneous
for
some
of
these
same
quakers
are
the
most
sanguinary
of
all
sailors
and
whale
hunters
they
are
fighting
quakers
they
are
quakers
with
a
vengeance
so
that
there
are
instances
among
them
of
men
who
named
with
scripture
names
a
singularly
common
fashion
on
the
island
and
in
childhood
naturally
imbibing
the
stately
dramatic
thee
and
thou
of
the
quaker
idiom
still
from
the
audacious
daring
and
boundless
adventure
of
their
subsequent
lives
strangely
blend
with
these
unoutgrown
peculiarities
a
thousand
bold
dashes
of
character
not
unworthy
a
scandinavian
sea
king
or
a
poetical
pagan
roman
and
when
these
things
unite
in
a
man
of
greatly
superior
natural
force
with
a
globular
brain
and
a
ponderous
heart
who
has
also
by
the
stillness
and
seclusion
of
many
long
night
watches
in
the
remotest
waters
and
beneath
constellations
never
seen
here
at
the
north
been
led
to
think
untraditionally
and
independently
receiving
all
natures
sweet
or
savage
impressions
fresh
from
her
own
virgin
voluntary
and
confiding
breast
and
thereby
chiefly
but
with
some
help
from
accidental
advantages
to
learn
a
bold
and
nervous
lofty
language
that
man
makes
one
in
a
whole
nations
census
a
mighty
pageant
creature
formed
for
noble
tragedies
nor
will
it
at
all
detract
from
him
dramatically
regarded
if
either
by
birth
or
other
circumstances
he
have
what
seems
a
half
wilful
overruling
morbidness
at
the
bottom
of
his
nature
for
all
men
tragically
great
are
made
so
through
a
certain
morbidness
be
sure
of
this
o
young
ambition
all
mortal
greatness
is
but
disease
but
as
yet
we
have
not
to
do
with
such
an
one
but
with
quite
another
and
still
a
man
who
if
indeed
peculiar
it
only
results
again
from
another
phase
of
the
quaker
modified
by
individual
circumstances
like
captain
peleg
captain
bildad
was
a
well
to
do
retired
whaleman
but
unlike
captain
peleg
who
cared
not
a
rush
for
what
are
called
serious
things
and
indeed
deemed
those
selfsame
serious
things
the
veriest
of
all
trifles
captain
bildad
had
not
only
been
originally
educated
according
to
the
strictest
sect
of
nantucket
quakerism
but
all
his
subsequent
ocean
life
and
the
sight
of
many
unclad
lovely
island
creatures
round
the
horn
all
that
had
not
moved
this
native
born
quaker
one
single
jot
had
not
so
much
as
altered
one
angle
of
his
vest
still
for
all
this
immutableness
was
there
some
lack
of
common
consistency
about
worthy
captain
bildad
though
refusing
from
conscientious
scruples
to
bear
arms
against
land
invaders
yet
himself
had
illimitably
invaded
the
atlantic
and
pacific
and
though
a
sworn
foe
to
human
bloodshed
yet
had
he
in
his
straight
bodied
coat
spilled
tuns
upon
tuns
of
leviathan
gore
how
now
in
the
contemplative
evening
of
his
days
the
pious
bildad
reconciled
these
things
in
the
reminiscence
i
do
not
know
but
it
did
not
seem
to
concern
him
much
and
very
probably
he
had
long
since
come
to
the
sage
and
sensible
conclusion
that
a
mans
religion
is
one
thing
and
this
practical
world
quite
another
this
world
pays
dividends
rising
from
a
little
cabin
boy
in
short
clothes
of
the
drabbest
drab
to
a
harpooneer
in
a
broad
shad
bellied
waistcoat
from
that
becoming
boat
header
chief
mate
and
captain
and
finally
a
ship
owner
bildad
as
i
hinted
before
had
concluded
his
adventurous
career
by
wholly
retiring
from
active
life
at
the
goodly
age
of
sixty
and
dedicating
his
remaining
days
to
the
quiet
receiving
of
his
well
earned
income
now
bildad
i
am
sorry
to
say
had
the
reputation
of
being
an
incorrigible
old
hunks
and
in
his
sea
going
days
a
bitter
hard
task
master
they
told
me
in
nantucket
though
it
certainly
seems
a
curious
story
that
when
he
sailed
the
old
categut
whaleman
his
crew
upon
arriving
home
were
mostly
all
carried
ashore
to
the
hospital
sore
exhausted
and
worn
out
for
a
pious
man
especially
for
a
quaker
he
was
certainly
rather
hard
hearted
to
say
the
least
he
never
used
to
swear
though
at
his
men
they
said
but
somehow
he
got
an
inordinate
quantity
of
cruel
unmitigated
hard
work
out
of
them
when
bildad
was
a
chief
mate
to
have
his
drab
colored
eye
intently
looking
at
you
made
you
feel
completely
nervous
till
you
could
clutch
something
a
hammer
or
a
marling
spike
and
go
to
work
like
mad
at
something
or
other
never
mind
what
indolence
and
idleness
perished
from
before
him
his
own
person
was
the
exact
embodiment
of
his
utilitarian
character
on
his
long
gaunt
body
he
carried
no
spare
flesh
no
superfluous
beard
his
chin
having
a
soft
economical
nap
to
it
like
the
worn
nap
of
his
broad
brimmed
hat
such
then
was
the
person
that
i
saw
seated
on
the
transom
when
i
followed
captain
peleg
down
into
the
cabin
the
space
between
the
decks
was
small
and
there
bolt
upright
sat
old
bildad
who
always
sat
so
and
never
leaned
and
this
to
save
his
coat
tails
his
broad
brim
was
placed
beside
him
his
legs
were
stiffly
crossed
his
drab
vesture
was
buttoned
up
to
his
chin
and
spectacles
on
nose
he
seemed
absorbed
in
reading
from
a
ponderous
volume
bildad
cried
captain
peleg
at
it
again
bildad
eh
ye
have
been
studying
those
scriptures
now
for
the
last
thirty
years
to
my
certain
knowledge
how
far
ye
got
bildad
as
if
long
habituated
to
such
profane
talk
from
his
old
shipmate
bildad
without
noticing
his
present
irreverence
quietly
looked
up
and
seeing
me
glanced
again
inquiringly
towards
peleg
he
says
hes
our
man
bildad
said
peleg
he
wants
to
ship
dost
thee
said
bildad
in
a
hollow
tone
and
turning
round
to
me
i
dost
said
i
unconsciously
he
was
so
intense
a
quaker
what
do
ye
think
of
him
bildad
said
peleg
hell
do
said
bildad
eyeing
me
and
then
went
on
spelling
away
at
his
book
in
a
mumbling
tone
quite
audible
i
thought
him
the
queerest
old
quaker
i
ever
saw
especially
as
peleg
his
friend
and
old
shipmate
seemed
such
a
blusterer
but
i
said
nothing
only
looking
round
me
sharply
peleg
now
threw
open
a
chest
and
drawing
forth
the
ships
articles
placed
pen
and
ink
before
him
and
seated
himself
at
a
little
table
i
began
to
think
it
was
high
time
to
settle
with
myself
at
what
terms
i
would
be
willing
to
engage
for
the
voyage
i
was
already
aware
that
in
the
whaling
business
they
paid
no
wages
but
all
hands
including
the
captain
received
certain
shares
of
the
profits
called
lays
and
that
these
lays
were
proportioned
to
the
degree
of
importance
pertaining
to
the
respective
duties
of
the
ships
company
i
was
also
aware
that
being
a
green
hand
at
whaling
my
own
lay
would
not
be
very
large
but
considering
that
i
was
used
to
the
sea
could
steer
a
ship
splice
a
rope
and
all
that
i
made
no
doubt
that
from
all
i
had
heard
i
should
be
offered
at
least
the
th
lay
that
is
the
th
part
of
the
clear
nett
proceeds
of
the
voyage
whatever
that
might
eventually
amount
to
and
though
the
th
lay
was
what
they
call
a
rather
long
lay
yet
it
was
better
than
nothing
and
if
we
had
a
lucky
voyage
might
pretty
nearly
pay
for
the
clothing
i
would
wear
out
on
it
not
to
speak
of
my
three
years
beef
and
board
for
which
i
would
not
have
to
pay
one
stiver
it
might
be
thought
that
this
was
a
poor
way
to
accumulate
a
princely
fortune
and
so
it
was
a
very
poor
way
indeed
but
i
am
one
of
those
that
never
take
on
about
princely
fortunes
and
am
quite
content
if
the
world
is
ready
to
board
and
lodge
me
while
i
am
putting
up
at
this
grim
sign
of
the
thunder
cloud
upon
the
whole
i
thought
that
the
th
lay
would
be
about
the
fair
thing
but
would
not
have
been
surprised
had
i
been
offered
the
th
considering
i
was
of
a
broad
shouldered
make
but
one
thing
nevertheless
that
made
me
a
little
distrustful
about
receiving
a
generous
share
of
the
profits
was
this
ashore
i
had
heard
something
of
both
captain
peleg
and
his
unaccountable
old
crony
bildad
how
that
they
being
the
principal
proprietors
of
the
pequod
therefore
the
other
and
more
inconsiderable
and
scattered
owners
left
nearly
the
whole
management
of
the
ships
affairs
to
these
two
and
i
did
not
know
but
what
the
stingy
old
bildad
might
have
a
mighty
deal
to
say
about
shipping
hands
especially
as
i
now
found
him
on
board
the
pequod
quite
at
home
there
in
the
cabin
and
reading
his
bible
as
if
at
his
own
fireside
now
while
peleg
was
vainly
trying
to
mend
a
pen
with
his
jack
knife
old
bildad
to
my
no
small
surprise
considering
that
he
was
such
an
interested
party
in
these
proceedings
bildad
never
heeded
us
but
went
on
mumbling
to
himself
out
of
his
book
lay
not
up
for
yourselves
treasures
upon
earth
where
moth
well
captain
bildad
interrupted
peleg
what
dye
say
what
lay
shall
we
give
this
young
man
thou
knowest
best
was
the
sepulchral
reply
the
seven
hundred
and
seventy
seventh
wouldnt
be
too
much
would
it
where
moth
and
rust
do
corrupt
but
lay
lay
indeed
thought
i
and
such
a
lay
the
seven
hundred
and
seventy
seventh
well
old
bildad
you
are
determined
that
i
for
one
shall
not
lay
up
many
lays
here
below
where
moth
and
rust
do
corrupt
it
was
an
exceedingly
long
lay
that
indeed
and
though
from
the
magnitude
of
the
figure
it
might
at
first
deceive
a
landsman
yet
the
slightest
consideration
will
show
that
though
seven
hundred
and
seventy
seven
is
a
pretty
large
number
yet
when
you
come
to
make
a
teenth
of
it
you
will
then
see
i
say
that
the
seven
hundred
and
seventy
seventh
part
of
a
farthing
is
a
good
deal
less
than
seven
hundred
and
seventy
seven
gold
doubloons
and
so
i
thought
at
the
time
why
blast
your
eyes
bildad
cried
peleg
thou
dost
not
want
to
swindle
this
young
man
he
must
have
more
than
that
seven
hundred
and
seventy
seventh
again
said
bildad
without
lifting
his
eyes
and
then
went
on
mumbling
for
where
your
treasure

ye
hear
that
bildad
the
three
hundredth
lay
i
say
bildad
laid
down
his
book
and
turning
solemnly
towards
him
said
captain
peleg
thou
hast
a
generous
heart
but
thou
must
consider
the
duty
thou
owest
to
the
other
owners
of
this
ship
widows
and
orphans
many
of
them
and
that
if
we
too
abundantly
reward
the
labors
of
this
young
man
we
may
be
taking
the
bread
from
those
widows
and
those
orphans
the
seven
hundred
and
seventy
seventh
lay
captain
peleg
thou
bildad
roared
peleg
starting
up
and
clattering
about
the
cabin
blast
ye
captain
bildad
if
i
had
followed
thy
advice
in
these
matters
i
would
afore
now
had
a
conscience
to
lug
about
that
would
be
heavy
enough
to
founder
the
largest
ship
that
ever
sailed
round
cape
horn
captain
peleg
said
bildad
steadily
thy
conscience
may
be
drawing
ten
inches
of
water
or
ten
fathoms
i
cant
tell
but
as
thou
art
still
an
impenitent
man
captain
peleg
i
greatly
fear
lest
thy
conscience
be
but
a
leaky
one
and
will
in
the
end
sink
thee
foundering
down
to
the
fiery
pit
captain
peleg
fiery
pit
fiery
pit
ye
insult
me
man
past
all
natural
bearing
ye
insult
me
its
an
all
fired
outrage
to
tell
any
human
creature
that
hes
bound
to
hell
flukes
and
flames
bildad
say
that
again
to
me
and
start
my
soul
bolts
but
ill
ill
yes
ill
swallow
a
live
goat
with
all
his
hair
and
horns
on
out
of
the
cabin
ye
canting
drab
colored
son
of
a
wooden
gun
a
straight
wake
with
ye
as
he
thundered
out
this
he
made
a
rush
at
bildad
but
with
a
marvellous
oblique
sliding
celerity
bildad
for
that
time
eluded
him
alarmed
at
this
terrible
outburst
between
the
two
principal
and
responsible
owners
of
the
ship
and
feeling
half
a
mind
to
give
up
all
idea
of
sailing
in
a
vessel
so
questionably
owned
and
temporarily
commanded
i
stepped
aside
from
the
door
to
give
egress
to
bildad
who
i
made
no
doubt
was
all
eagerness
to
vanish
from
before
the
awakened
wrath
of
peleg
but
to
my
astonishment
he
sat
down
again
on
the
transom
very
quietly
and
seemed
to
have
not
the
slightest
intention
of
withdrawing
he
seemed
quite
used
to
impenitent
peleg
and
his
ways
as
for
peleg
after
letting
off
his
rage
as
he
had
there
seemed
no
more
left
in
him
and
he
too
sat
down
like
a
lamb
though
he
twitched
a
little
as
if
still
nervously
agitated
whew
he
whistled
at
last
the
squalls
gone
off
to
leeward
i
think
bildad
thou
used
to
be
good
at
sharpening
a
lance
mend
that
pen
will
ye
my
jack
knife
here
needs
the
grindstone
thats
he
thank
ye
bildad
now
then
my
young
man
ishmaels
thy
name
didnt
ye
say
well
then
down
ye
go
here
ishmael
for
the
three
hundredth
lay
captain
peleg
said
i
i
have
a
friend
with
me
who
wants
to
ship
too
shall
i
bring
him
down
to
morrow
to
be
sure
said
peleg
fetch
him
along
and
well
look
at
him
what
lay
does
he
want
groaned
bildad
glancing
up
from
the
book
in
which
he
had
again
been
burying
himself
oh
never
thee
mind
about
that
bildad
said
peleg
has
he
ever
whaled
it
any
turning
to
me
killed
more
whales
than
i
can
count
captain
peleg
well
bring
him
along
then
and
after
signing
the
papers
off
i
went
nothing
doubting
but
that
i
had
done
a
good
mornings
work
and
that
the
pequod
was
the
identical
ship
that
yojo
had
provided
to
carry
queequeg
and
me
round
the
cape
but
i
had
not
proceeded
far
when
i
began
to
bethink
me
that
the
captain
with
whom
i
was
to
sail
yet
remained
unseen
by
me
though
indeed
in
many
cases
a
whale
ship
will
be
completely
fitted
out
and
receive
all
her
crew
on
board
ere
the
captain
makes
himself
visible
by
arriving
to
take
command
for
sometimes
these
voyages
are
so
prolonged
and
the
shore
intervals
at
home
so
exceedingly
brief
that
if
the
captain
have
a
family
or
any
absorbing
concernment
of
that
sort
he
does
not
trouble
himself
much
about
his
ship
in
port
but
leaves
her
to
the
owners
till
all
is
ready
for
sea
however
it
is
always
as
well
to
have
a
look
at
him
before
irrevocably
committing
yourself
into
his
hands
turning
back
i
accosted
captain
peleg
inquiring
where
captain
ahab
was
to
be
found
and
what
dost
thou
want
of
captain
ahab
its
all
right
enough
thou
art
shipped
yes
but
i
should
like
to
see
him
but
i
dont
think
thou
wilt
be
able
to
at
present
i
dont
know
exactly
whats
the
matter
with
him
but
he
keeps
close
inside
the
house
a
sort
of
sick
and
yet
he
dont
look
so
in
fact
he
aint
sick
but
no
he
isnt
well
either
any
how
young
man
he
wont
always
see
me
so
i
dont
suppose
he
will
thee
hes
a
queer
man
captain
ahab
so
some
think
but
a
good
one
oh
thoult
like
him
well
enough
no
fear
no
fear
hes
a
grand
ungodly
god
like
man
captain
ahab
doesnt
speak
much
but
when
he
does
speak
then
you
may
well
listen
mark
ye
be
forewarned
ahabs
above
the
common
ahabs
been
in
colleges
as
well
as
mong
the
cannibals
been
used
to
deeper
wonders
than
the
waves
fixed
his
fiery
lance
in
mightier
stranger
foes
than
whales
his
lance
aye
the
keenest
and
the
surest
that
out
of
all
our
isle
oh
he
aint
captain
bildad
no
and
he
aint
captain
peleg
hes
ahab
boy
and
ahab
of
old
thou
knowest
was
a
crowned
king
and
a
very
vile
one
when
that
wicked
king
was
slain
the
dogs
did
they
not
lick
his
blood
come
hither
to
me
hither
hither
said
peleg
with
a
significance
in
his
eye
that
almost
startled
me
look
ye
lad
never
say
that
on
board
the
pequod
never
say
it
anywhere
captain
ahab
did
not
name
himself
twas
a
foolish
ignorant
whim
of
his
crazy
widowed
mother
who
died
when
he
was
only
a
twelvemonth
old
and
yet
the
old
squaw
tistig
at
gayhead
said
that
the
name
would
somehow
prove
prophetic
and
perhaps
other
fools
like
her
may
tell
thee
the
same
i
wish
to
warn
thee
its
a
lie
i
know
captain
ahab
well
ive
sailed
with
him
as
mate
years
ago
i
know
what
he
is
a
good
man
not
a
pious
good
man
like
bildad
but
a
swearing
good
man
something
like
me
only
theres
a
good
deal
more
of
him
aye
aye
i
know
that
he
was
never
very
jolly
and
i
know
that
on
the
passage
home
he
was
a
little
out
of
his
mind
for
a
spell
but
it
was
the
sharp
shooting
pains
in
his
bleeding
stump
that
brought
that
about
as
any
one
might
see
i
know
too
that
ever
since
he
lost
his
leg
last
voyage
by
that
accursed
whale
hes
been
a
kind
of
moody
desperate
moody
and
savage
sometimes
but
that
will
all
pass
off
and
once
for
all
let
me
tell
thee
and
assure
thee
young
man
its
better
to
sail
with
a
moody
good
captain
than
a
laughing
bad
one
so
good
bye
to
thee
and
wrong
not
captain
ahab
because
he
happens
to
have
a
wicked
name
besides
my
boy
he
has
a
wife
not
three
voyages
wedded
a
sweet
resigned
girl
think
of
that
by
that
sweet
girl
that
old
man
has
a
child
hold
ye
then
there
can
be
any
utter
hopeless
harm
in
ahab
no
no
my
lad
stricken
blasted
if
he
be
ahab
has
his
humanities
as
i
walked
away
i
was
full
of
thoughtfulness
what
had
been
incidentally
revealed
to
me
of
captain
ahab
filled
me
with
a
certain
wild
vagueness
of
painfulness
concerning
him
and
somehow
at
the
time
i
felt
a
sympathy
and
a
sorrow
for
him
but
for
i
dont
know
what
unless
it
was
the
cruel
loss
of
his
leg
and
yet
i
also
felt
a
strange
awe
of
him
but
that
sort
of
awe
which
i
cannot
at
all
describe
was
not
exactly
awe
i
do
not
know
what
it
was
but
i
felt
it
and
it
did
not
disincline
me
towards
him
though
i
felt
impatience
at
what
seemed
like
mystery
in
him
so
imperfectly
as
he
was
known
to
me
then
however
my
thoughts
were
at
length
carried
in
other
directions
so
that
for
the
present
dark
ahab
slipped
my
mind
as
queequegs
ramadan
or
fasting
and
humiliation
was
to
continue
all
day
i
did
not
choose
to
disturb
him
till
towards
night
fall
for
i
cherish
the
greatest
respect
towards
everybodys
religious
obligations
never
mind
how
comical
and
could
not
find
it
in
my
heart
to
undervalue
even
a
congregation
of
ants
worshipping
a
toad
stool
or
those
other
creatures
in
certain
parts
of
our
earth
who
with
a
degree
of
footmanism
quite
unprecedented
in
other
planets
bow
down
before
the
torso
of
a
deceased
landed
proprietor
merely
on
account
of
the
inordinate
possessions
yet
owned
and
rented
in
his
name
i
say
we
good
presbyterian
christians
should
be
charitable
in
these
things
and
not
fancy
ourselves
so
vastly
superior
to
other
mortals
pagans
and
what
not
because
of
their
half
crazy
conceits
on
these
subjects
there
was
queequeg
now
certainly
entertaining
the
most
absurd
notions
about
yojo
and
his
ramadan
but
what
of
that
queequeg
thought
he
knew
what
he
was
about
i
suppose
he
seemed
to
be
content
and
there
let
him
rest
all
our
arguing
with
him
would
not
avail
let
him
be
i
say
and
heaven
have
mercy
on
us
all
presbyterians
and
pagans
alike
for
we
are
all
somehow
dreadfully
cracked
about
the
head
and
sadly
need
mending
towards
evening
when
i
felt
assured
that
all
his
performances
and
rituals
must
be
over
i
went
up
to
his
room
and
knocked
at
the
door
but
no
answer
i
tried
to
open
it
but
it
was
fastened
inside
queequeg
said
i
softly
through
the
key
hole
all
silent
i
say
queequeg
why
dont
you
speak
its
i
ishmael
but
all
remained
still
as
before
i
began
to
grow
alarmed
i
had
allowed
him
such
abundant
time
i
thought
he
might
have
had
an
apoplectic
fit
i
looked
through
the
key
hole
but
the
door
opening
into
an
odd
corner
of
the
room
the
key
hole
prospect
was
but
a
crooked
and
sinister
one
i
could
only
see
part
of
the
foot
board
of
the
bed
and
a
line
of
the
wall
but
nothing
more
i
was
surprised
to
behold
resting
against
the
wall
the
wooden
shaft
of
queequegs
harpoon
which
the
landlady
the
evening
previous
had
taken
from
him
before
our
mounting
to
the
chamber
thats
strange
thought
i
but
at
any
rate
since
the
harpoon
stands
yonder
and
he
seldom
or
never
goes
abroad
without
it
therefore
he
must
be
inside
here
and
no
possible
mistake
queequeg
queequeg
all
still
something
must
have
happened
apoplexy
i
tried
to
burst
open
the
door
but
it
stubbornly
resisted
running
down
stairs
i
quickly
stated
my
suspicions
to
the
first
person
i
met
the
chambermaid
la
la
she
cried
i
thought
something
must
be
the
matter
i
went
to
make
the
bed
after
breakfast
and
the
door
was
locked
and
not
a
mouse
to
be
heard
and
its
been
just
so
silent
ever
since
but
i
thought
may
be
you
had
both
gone
off
and
locked
your
baggage
in
for
safe
keeping
la
la
maam
mistress
murder
mrs
hussey
apoplexy
and
with
these
cries
she
ran
towards
the
kitchen
i
following
mrs
hussey
soon
appeared
with
a
mustard
pot
in
one
hand
and
a
vinegar
cruet
in
the
other
having
just
broken
away
from
the
occupation
of
attending
to
the
castors
and
scolding
her
little
black
boy
meantime
wood
house
cried
i
which
way
to
it
run
for
gods
sake
and
fetch
something
to
pry
open
the
door
the
axe
the
axe
hes
had
a
stroke
depend
upon
it
and
so
saying
i
was
unmethodically
rushing
up
stairs
again
empty
handed
when
mrs
hussey
interposed
the
mustard
pot
and
vinegar
cruet
and
the
entire
castor
of
her
countenance
whats
the
matter
with
you
young
man
get
the
axe
for
gods
sake
run
for
the
doctor
some
one
while
i
pry
it
open
look
here
said
the
landlady
quickly
putting
down
the
vinegar
cruet
so
as
to
have
one
hand
free
look
here
are
you
talking
about
prying
open
any
of
my
doors
and
with
that
she
seized
my
arm
whats
the
matter
with
you
whats
the
matter
with
you
shipmate
in
as
calm
but
rapid
a
manner
as
possible
i
gave
her
to
understand
the
whole
case
unconsciously
clapping
the
vinegar
cruet
to
one
side
of
her
nose
she
ruminated
for
an
instant
then
exclaimed
no
i
havent
seen
it
since
i
put
it
there
running
to
a
little
closet
under
the
landing
of
the
stairs
she
glanced
in
and
returning
told
me
that
queequegs
harpoon
was
missing
hes
killed
himself
she
cried
its
unfortnate
stiggs
done
over
again
there
goes

counterpane

running
up
after

she
caught

to

the
door

wont
allow
it

wont

with
that
she

in
the
lock
but
alas
queequegs
supplemental
bolt
remained
unwithdrawn
within
have
to
burst
it
open
said
i
and
was
running
down
the
entry
a
little
for
a
good
start
when
the
landlady
caught
at
me
again
vowing
i
should
not
break
down
her
premises
but
i
tore
from
her
and
with
a
sudden
bodily
rush
dashed
myself
full
against
the
mark
with
a
prodigious
noise
the
door
flew
open
and
the
knob
slamming
against
the
wall
sent
the
plaster
to
the
ceiling
and
there
good
heavens
there
sat
queequeg
altogether
cool
and
self
collected
right
in
the
middle
of
the
room
squatting
on
his
hams
and
holding
yojo
on
top
of
his
head
he
looked
neither
one
way
nor
the
other
way
but
sat
like
a
carved
image
with
scarce
a
sign
of
active
life
queequeg
said
i
going
up
to
him
queequeg
whats
the
matter
with
you
he
haint
been
a
sittin
so
all
day
has
he
said
the
landlady
but
all
we
said
not
a
word
could
we
drag
out
of
him
i
almost
felt
like
pushing
him
over
so
as
to
change
his
position
for
it
was
almost
intolerable
it
seemed
so
painfully
and
unnaturally
constrained
especially
as
in
all
probability
he
had
been
sitting
so
for
upwards
of
eight
or
ten
hours
going
too
without
his
regular
meals
mrs
hussey
said
i
hes
alive
at
all
events
so
leave
us
if
you
please
and
i
will
see
to
this
strange
affair
myself
closing
the
door
upon
the
landlady
i
endeavored
to
prevail
upon
queequeg
to
take
a
chair
but
in
vain
there
he
sat
and
all
he
could
do
for
all
my
polite
arts
and
blandishments
he
would
not
move
a
peg
nor
say
a
single
word
nor
even
look
at
me
nor
notice
my
presence
in
any
the
slightest
way
i
wonder
thought
i
if
this
can
possibly
be
a
part
of
his
ramadan
do
they
fast
on
their
hams
that
way
in
his
native
island
it
must
be
so
yes
its
part
of
his
creed
i
suppose
well
then
let
him
rest
hell
get
up
sooner
or
later
no
doubt
it
cant
last
for
ever
thank
god
and
his
ramadan
only
comes
once
a
year
and
i
dont
believe
its
very
punctual
then
i
went
down
to
supper
after
sitting
a
long
time
listening
to
the
long
stories
of
some
sailors
who
had
just
come
from
a
plum
pudding
voyage
as
they
called
it
that
is
a
short
whaling
voyage
in
a
schooner
or
brig
confined
to
the
north
of
the
line
in
the
atlantic
ocean
only
after
listening
to
these
plum
puddingers
till
nearly
eleven
oclock
i
went
up
stairs
to
go
to
bed
feeling
quite
sure
by
this
time
queequeg
must
certainly
have
brought
his
ramadan
to
a
termination
but
no
there
he
was
just
where
i
had
left
him
he
had
not
stirred
an
inch
i
began
to
grow
vexed
with
him
it
seemed
so
downright
senseless
and
insane
to
be
sitting
there
all
day
and
half
the
night
on
his
hams
in
a
cold
room
holding
a
piece
of
wood
on
his
head
for
heavens
sake
queequeg
get
up
and
shake
yourself
get
up
and
have
some
supper
youll
starve
youll
kill
yourself
queequeg
but
not
a
word
did
he
reply
despairing
of
him
therefore
i
determined
to
go
to
bed
and
to
sleep
and
no
doubt
before
a
great
while
he
would
follow
me
but
previous
to
turning
in
i
took
my
heavy
bearskin
jacket
and
threw
it
over
him
as
it
promised
to
be
a
very
cold
night
and
he
had
nothing
but
his
ordinary
round
jacket
on
for
some
time
do
all
i
would
i
could
not
get
into
the
faintest
doze
i
had
blown
out
the
candle
and
the
mere
thought
of
queequeg
not
four
feet
off
sitting
there
in
that
uneasy
position
stark
alone
in
the
cold
and
dark
this
made
me
really
wretched
think
of
it
sleeping
all
night
in
the
same
room
with
a
wide
awake
pagan
on
his
hams
in
this
dreary
unaccountable
ramadan
but
somehow
i
dropped
off
at
last
and
knew
nothing
more
till
break
of
day
when
looking
over
the
bedside
there
squatted
queequeg
as
if
he
had
been
screwed
down
to
the
floor
but
as
soon
as
the
first
glimpse
of
sun
entered
the
window
up
he
got
with
stiff
and
grating
joints
but
with
a
cheerful
look
limped
towards
me
where
i
lay
pressed
his
forehead
again
against
mine
and
said
his
ramadan
was
over
now
as
i
before
hinted
i
have
no
objection
to
any
persons
religion
be
it
what
it
may
so
long
as
that
person
does
not
kill
or
insult
any
other
person
because
that
other
person
dont
believe
it
also
but
when
a
mans
religion
becomes
really
frantic
when
it
is
a
positive
torment
to
him
and
in
fine
makes
this
earth
of
ours
an
uncomfortable
inn
to
lodge
in
then
i
think
it
high
time
to
take
that
individual
aside
and
argue
the
point
with
him
and
just
so
i
now
did
with
queequeg
queequeg
said
i
get
into
bed
now
and
lie
and
listen
to
me
i
then
went
on
beginning
with
the
rise
and
progress
of
the
primitive
religions
and
coming
down
to
the
various
religions
of
the
present
time
during
which
time
i
labored
to
show
queequeg
that
all
these
lents
ramadans
and
prolonged
ham
squattings
in
cold
cheerless
rooms
were
stark
nonsense
bad
for
the
health
useless
for
the
soul
opposed
in
short
to
the
obvious
laws
of
hygiene
and
common
sense
i
told
him
too
that
he
being
in
other
things
such
an
extremely
sensible
and
sagacious
savage
it
pained
me
very
badly
pained
me
to
see
him
now
so
deplorably
foolish
about
this
ridiculous
ramadan
of
his
besides
argued
i
fasting
makes
the
body
cave
in
hence
the
spirit
caves
in
and
all
thoughts
born
of
a
fast
must
necessarily
be
half
starved
this
is
the
reason
why
most
dyspeptic
religionists
cherish
such
melancholy
notions
about
their
hereafters
in
one
word
queequeg
said
i
rather
digressively
hell
is
an
idea
first
born
on
an
undigested
apple
dumpling
and
since
then
perpetuated
through
the
hereditary
dyspepsias
nurtured
by
ramadans
i
then
asked
queequeg
whether
he
himself
was
ever
troubled
with
dyspepsia
expressing
the
idea
very
plainly
so
that
he
could
take
it
in
he
said
no
only
upon
one
memorable
occasion
it
was
after
a
great
feast
given
by
his
father
the
king
on
the
gaining
of
a
great
battle
wherein
fifty
of
the
enemy
had
been
killed
by
about
two
oclock
in
the
afternoon
and
all
cooked
and
eaten
that
very
evening
no
more
queequeg
said
i
shuddering
that
will
do
for
i
knew
the
inferences
without
his
further
hinting
them
i
had
seen
a
sailor
who
had
visited
that
very
island
and
he
told
me
that
it
was
the
custom
when
a
great
battle
had
been
gained
there
to
barbecue
all
the
slain
in
the
yard
or
garden
of
the
victor
and
then
one
by
one
they
were
placed
in
great
wooden
trenchers
and
garnished
round
like
a
pilau
with
breadfruit
and
cocoanuts
and
with
some
parsley
in
their
mouths
were
sent
round
with
the
victors
compliments
to
all
his
friends
just
as
though
these
presents
were
so
many
christmas
turkeys
after
all
i
do
not
think
that
my
remarks
about
religion
made
much
impression
upon
queequeg
because
in
the
first
place
he
somehow
seemed
dull
of
hearing
on
that
important
subject
unless
considered
from
his
own
point
of
view
and
in
the
second
place
he
did
not
more
than
one
third
understand
me
couch
my
ideas
simply
as
i
would
and
finally
he
no
doubt
thought
he
knew
a
good
deal
more
about
the
true
religion
than
i
did
he
looked
at
me
with
a
sort
of
condescending
concern
and
compassion
as
though
he
thought
it
a
great
pity
that
such
a
sensible
young
man
should
be
so
hopelessly
lost
to
evangelical
pagan
piety
at
last
we
rose
and
dressed
and
queequeg
taking
a
prodigiously
hearty
breakfast
of
chowders
of
all
sorts
so
that
the
landlady
should
not
make
much
profit
by
reason
of
his
ramadan
we
sallied
out
to
board
the
pequod
sauntering
along
and
picking
our
teeth
with
halibut
bones
as
we
were
walking
down
the
end
of
the
wharf
towards
the
ship
queequeg
carrying
his
harpoon
captain
peleg
in
his
gruff
voice
loudly
hailed
us
from
his
wigwam
saying
he
had
not
suspected
my
friend
was
a
cannibal
and
furthermore
announcing
that
he
let
no
cannibals
on
board
that
craft
unless
they
previously
produced
their
papers
what
do
you
mean
by
that
captain
peleg
said
i
now
jumping
on
the
bulwarks
and
leaving
my
comrade
standing
on
the
wharf
i
mean
he
replied
he
must
show
his
papers
yea
said
captain
bildad
in
his
hollow
voice
sticking
his
head
from
behind
pelegs
out
of
the
wigwam
he
must
show
that
hes
converted
son
of
darkness
he
added
turning
to
queequeg
art
thou
at
present
in
communion
with
any
christian
church
why
said
i
hes
a
member
of
the
first

that

churches
first
congregational
church
cried
bildad
what
that
worships
in
deacon
deuteronomy
colemans
meeting
house
and
so
saying
taking
out
his
spectacles
he
rubbed
them
with
his
great
yellow
bandana
handkerchief
and
putting
them
on
very
carefully
came
out
of
the
wigwam
and
leaning
stiffly
over
the
bulwarks
took
a
good
long
look
at
queequeg
how
long
hath
he
been
a
member
he
then
said
turning
to
me
not
very
long
i
rather
guess
young
man
no
said
peleg
and
he
hasnt
been
baptized
right
either
or
it
would
have
washed
some
of
that
devils

off
his
face
do
tell
now
cried
bildad

him
going
there
and
i
pass
it
every
lords
day
i
dont

said
i
all

born
member
of
the
first
congregational
church
he
is
a
deacon

queequeg

bildad
sternly

skylarking
with
me
explain

me
finding

thus

i

cried
peleg
drawing
nearer
young
man

instead
of
a
fore
mast

i
never

great

what

good
stuff
that
and
he
handles
it
about
right
i
say
quohog
or
whatever
your
name
is
did
you
ever
stand
in
the
head
of
a
whale
boat
did
you
ever
strike
a
fish
without
saying
a
word
queequeg
in
his
wild
sort
of
way
jumped
upon
the
bulwarks
from
thence
into
the
bows
of
one
of
the
whale
boats
hanging
to
the
side
and
then
bracing
his
left
knee
and
poising
his
harpoon
cried
out
in
some
such
way
as
this
capain
you
see
him
small
drop
tar
on
water
dere
you
see
him
well
spose
him
one
whale
eye
well
den
and
taking
sharp
aim
at
it
he
darted
the
iron
right
over
old
bildads
broad
brim
clean
across
the
ships
decks
and
struck
the
glistening
tar
spot
out
of
sight
now
said
queequeg
quietly
hauling
in
the
line
spos
ee
him
whale
e
eye
why
dad
whale
dead
quick
bildad
said
peleg
his
partner
who
aghast
at
the
close
vicinity
of
the
flying
harpoon
had
retreated
towards
the
cabin
gangway
quick
i
say
you
bildad
and
get
the
ships
papers
we
must
have
hedgehog
there
i
mean
quohog
in
one
of
our
boats

quohog
well
give
ye
the
ninetieth
lay
and
thats
more
than
ever
was
given
a
harpooneer
yet
out
of
nantucket
so
down
we
went
into
the
cabin
and
to
my
great
joy
queequeg
was
soon
enrolled
among
the
same
ships
company
to
which
i
myself
belonged
when
all
preliminaries
were
over
and
peleg
had
got
everything
ready
for
signing
he
turned
to
me
and
said
i
guess
quohog
there
dont
know
how
to
write
does
he
i
say
quohog
blast
ye
dost
thou
sign
thy
name
or
make
thy
mark
but
at
this
question
queequeg
who
had
twice
or
thrice
before
taken
part
in
similar
ceremonies
looked
no
ways
abashed
but
taking
the
offered
pen
copied
upon
the
paper
in
the
proper
place
an
exact
counterpart
of
a
queer
round
figure
which
was
tattooed
upon
his
arm
so
that
through
captain
pelegs
obstinate
mistake
touching
his
appellative
it
stood
something
like
this
quohog
his
mark
meanwhile
captain
bildad
sat
earnestly
and
steadfastly
eyeing
queequeg
and
at
last
rising
solemnly
and
fumbling
in
the
huge
pockets
of
his
broad
skirted
drab
coat
took
out
a
bundle
of
tracts
and
selecting
one
entitled
the
latter
day
coming
or
no
time
to
lose
placed
it
in
queequegs
hands
and
then
grasping
them
and
the
book
with
both
his
looked
earnestly
into
his
eyes
and
said
son
of
darkness
i
must
do
my
duty
by
thee
i
am
part
owner
of
this
ship
and
feel
concerned
for
the
souls
of
all
its
crew
if
thou
still
clingest
to
thy
pagan
ways
which
i
sadly
fear
i
beseech
thee
remain
not
for
aye
a
belial
bondsman
spurn
the
idol
bell
and
the
hideous
dragon
turn
from
the
wrath
to

say
oh
goodness
gracious
steer
clear
of
the
fiery
pit
something
of
the
salt

heterogeneously
mixed
with
scriptural
and
domestic
phrases

there
was
young
nat
swaine
once
the
bravest
boat
header
out
of
all
nantucket
and
the
vineyard
he
joined
the
meeting
and
never
came
to
good
he
got
so
frightened
about
his
plaguy
soul
that
he
shrinked
and
sheered
away
from
whales
for
fear
of
after
claps
in
case
he
got
stove
and
went
to
davy
jones
peleg
peleg
said
bildad
lifting
his
eyes
and
hands
thou
thyself
as
i
myself
hast
seen
many
a
perilous
time
thou
knowest
peleg
what
it
is
to
have
the
fear
of
death
how
then
canst
thou
prate
in
this
ungodly
guise
thou
beliest
thine
own
heart
peleg
tell
me
when
this
same
pequod
here
had
her
three
masts
overboard
in
that
typhoon
on
japan
that
same
voyage
when
thou
went
mate
with
captain
ahab
didst
thou
not
think
of
death
and
the
judgment
then
hear
him
hear
him
now
cried
peleg
marching
across
the
cabin
and
thrusting
his
hands
far
down
into
his
pockets
hear
him
all
of
ye
think
of
that
when
every
moment
we
thought
the
ship
would
sink
death
and
the
judgment
then
what
with
all
three
masts
making
such
an
everlasting
thundering
against
the
side
and
every
sea
breaking
over
us
fore
and
aft
think
of
death
and
the
judgment
then
no
no
time
to
think
about
death
then
life
was
what
captain
ahab
and
i
was
thinking
of
and
how
to
save
all
hands
how
to
rig
jury
masts
how
to
get
into
the
nearest
port
that
was
what
i
was
thinking
of
bildad
said
no
more
but
buttoning
up
his
coat
stalked
on
deck
where
we
followed
him
there
he
stood
very
quietly
overlooking
some
sail
makers
who
were
mending
a
top
sail
in
the
waist
now
and
then
he
stooped
to
pick
up
a
patch
or
save
an
end
of
tarred
twine
which
otherwise
might
have
been
wasted
shipmates
have
ye
shipped
in
that
ship
queequeg
and
i
had
just
left
the
pequod
and
were
sauntering
away
from
the
water
for
the
moment
each
occupied
with
his
own
thoughts
when
the
above
words
were
put
to
us
by
a
stranger
who
pausing
before
us
levelled
his
massive
forefinger
at
the
vessel
in
question
he
was
but
shabbily
apparelled
in
faded
jacket
and
patched
trowsers
a
rag
of
a
black
handkerchief
investing
his
neck
a
confluent
small
pox
had
in
all
directions
flowed
over
his
face
and
left
it
like
the
complicated
ribbed
bed
of
a
torrent
when
the
rushing
waters
have
been
dried
up
have
ye
shipped
in
her
he
repeated
you
mean
the

suppose
said
i
trying
to
gain
a
little
more
time
for
an
uninterrupted
look
at
him
aye
the
pequod
that
ship
there
he
said
drawing
back
his
whole
arm
and
then
rapidly
shoving
it
straight
out
from
him
with
the
fixed
bayonet
of
his
pointed
finger
darted
full
at
the
object
yes

just
signed
the
articles

down
there
about
your
souls
about
what

a
wagon

about

said
i
hes
got
enough
though
to
make
up
for
all
deficiencies
of
that
sort
in
other
chaps
abruptly
said
the
stranger
placing
a
nervous
emphasis
upon
the
word
he
queequeg
said
i
lets
go
this
fellow
has
broken
loose
from
somewhere

talking
about
something

cried
the
stranger

said
true

havnt
seen
old
thunder

ye
whos
old
thunder
said
i
again
riveted
with
the
insane
earnestness
of
his
manner
captain
ahab

captain
of
our
ship
the
pequod

among
some
of

hes
sick
they
say
but

getting
better
and

be
all
right
again
before
long
all
right
again
before
long
laughed
the
stranger
with
a
solemnly
derisive
sort
of
laugh
look
ye
when
captain
ahab
is
all
right
then
this
left
arm
of
mine
will
be
all
right
not
before
what
do
you
know
about
him
what
did
they
tell
you
about
him
say
that
they
didnt
tell
much
of
anything
about
him
only
ive
heard
that
hes
a
good
whale
hunter
and
a
good
captain
to
his
crew
thats
true
thats
true
yes
both
true
enough
but
you
must
jump
when
he
gives
an
order
step
and
growl
growl
and
go
thats
the
word
with
captain
ahab
but
nothing
about
that
thing
that
happened
to
him
off
cape
horn
long
ago
when
he
lay
like
dead
for
three
days
and
nights
nothing
about
that
deadly
skrimmage
with
the
spaniard
afore
the
altar
in
santa
heard
nothing
about
that
eh
nothing
about
the
silver
calabash
he
spat
into
and
nothing
about
his
losing
his
leg
last
voyage
according
to
the
prophecy
didnt
ye
hear
a
word
about
them
matters
and
something
more
eh
no
i
dont
think
ye
did
how
could
ye
who

it
not
all
nantucket
i
guess
but
howsever
mayhap

leg
and
how

heard
of
that
i
dare
say
oh
yes
that
every
one
knows
amost
i
mean
they
know
hes
only
one
leg
and
that
a
parmacetti
took
the
other
off
my
friend
said
i
what
all
this
gibberish
of
yours
is
about
i
dont
know
and
i
dont
much
care
for
it
seems
to
me
that
you
must
be
a
little
damaged
in
the
head
but
if
you
are
speaking
of
captain
ahab
of
that
ship
there
the
pequod
then
let
me
tell
you
that
i
know
all
about
the
loss
of
his
leg
all
about
it
eh
sure
you
do
all
pretty
sure
with
finger
pointed
and
eye
levelled
at
the
pequod
the
beggar
like
stranger
stood
a
moment
as
if
in
a
troubled
reverie
then
starting
a
little
turned
and
said
yeve
shipped
have
ye
names
down
on
the
papers
well
well
whats
signed
is
signed
and
whats
to
be
will
be
and
then
again
perhaps
it
wont
be
after
all
any
how
its
all
fixed
and
arranged
aready
and
some
sailors
or
other
must
go
with
him
i
suppose
as
well
these
as
any
other
men
god
pity
em
morning
to
ye
shipmates
morning
the
ineffable
heavens
bless
ye
im
sorry
i
stopped
ye
look
here
friend
said
i
if
you
have
anything
important
to
tell
us
out
with
it
but
if
you
are
only
trying
to
bamboozle
us
you
are
mistaken
in
your
game
thats
all
i
have
to
say
and
its
said
very
well
and
i
like
to
hear
a
chap
talk
up
that
way
you
are
just
the
man
for
him
the
likes
of
ye
morning
to
ye
shipmates
morning
oh
when
ye
get
there
tell
em
ive
concluded
not
to
make
one
of
em
ah
my
dear
fellow
you
cant
fool
us
that
way
you
cant
fool
us
it
is
the
easiest
thing
in
the
world
for
a
man
to
look
as
if
he
had
a
great
secret
in
him
morning
to
ye
shipmates
morning
morning
it
is
said
i
come
along
queequeg
lets
leave
this
crazy
man
but
stop
tell
me
your
name
will
you
elijah
elijah
thought
i
and
we
walked
away
both
commenting
after
each
others
fashion
upon
this
ragged
old
sailor
and
agreed
that
he
was
nothing
but
a
humbug
trying
to
be
a
bugbear
but
we
had
not
gone
perhaps
above
a
hundred
yards
when
chancing
to
turn
a
corner
and
looking
back
as
i
did
so
who
should
be
seen
but
elijah
following
us
though
at
a
distance
somehow
the
sight
of
him
struck
me
so
that
i
said
nothing
to
queequeg
of
his
being
behind
but
passed
on
with
my
comrade
anxious
to
see
whether
the
stranger
would
turn
the
same
corner
that
we
did
he
did
and
then
it
seemed
to
me
that
he
was
dogging
us
but
with
what
intent
i
could
not
for
the
life
of
me
imagine
this
circumstance
coupled
with
his
ambiguous
half
hinting
half
revealing
shrouded
sort
of
talk
now
begat
in
me
all
kinds
of
vague
wonderments
and
half
apprehensions
and
all
connected
with
the
pequod
and
captain
ahab
and
the
leg
he
had
lost
and
the
cape
horn
fit
and
the
silver
calabash
and
what
captain
peleg
had
said
of
him
when
i
left
the
ship
the
day
previous
and
the
prediction
of
the
squaw
tistig
and
the
voyage
we
had
bound
ourselves
to
sail
and
a
hundred
other
shadowy
things
i
was
resolved
to
satisfy
myself
whether
this
ragged
elijah
was
really
dogging
us
or
not
and
with
that
intent
crossed
the
way
with
queequeg
and
on
that
side
of
it
retraced
our
steps
but
elijah
passed
on
without
seeming
to
notice
us
this
relieved
me
and
once
more
and
finally
as
it
seemed
to
me
i
pronounced
him
in
my
heart
a
humbug
a
day
or
two
passed
and
there
was
great
activity
aboard
the
pequod
not
only
were
the
old
sails
being
mended
but
new
sails
were
coming
on
board
and
bolts
of
canvas
and
coils
of
rigging
in
short
everything
betokened
that
the
ships
preparations
were
hurrying
to
a
close
captain
peleg
seldom
or
never
went
ashore
but
sat
in
his
wigwam
keeping
a
sharp
look
out
upon
the
hands
bildad
did
all
the
purchasing
and
providing
at
the
stores
and
the
men
employed
in
the
hold
and
on
the
rigging
were
working
till
long
after
night
fall
on
the
day
following
queequegs
signing
the
articles
word
was
given
at
all
the
inns
where
the
ships
company
were
stopping
that
their
chests
must
be
on
board
before
night
for
there
was
no
telling
how
soon
the
vessel
might
be
sailing
so
queequeg
and
i
got
down
our
traps
resolving
however
to
sleep
ashore
till
the
last
but
it
seems
they
always
give
very
long
notice
in
these
cases
and
the
ship
did
not
sail
for
several
days
but
no
wonder
there
was
a
good
deal
to
be
done
and
there
is
no
telling
how
many
things
to
be
thought
of
before
the
pequod
was
fully
equipped
every
one
knows
what
a
multitude
of
things
beds
sauce
pans
knives
and
forks
shovels
and
tongs
napkins
nut
crackers
and
what
not
are
indispensable
to
the
business
of
housekeeping
just
so
with
whaling
which
necessitates
a
three
years
housekeeping
upon
the
wide
ocean
far
from
all
grocers
costermongers
doctors
bakers
and
bankers
and
though
this
also
holds
true
of
merchant
vessels
yet
not
by
any
means
to
the
same
extent
as
with
whalemen
for
besides
the
great
length
of
the
whaling
voyage
the
numerous
articles
peculiar
to
the
prosecution
of
the
fishery
and
the
impossibility
of
replacing
them
at
the
remote
harbors
usually
frequented
it
must
be
remembered
that
of
all
ships
whaling
vessels
are
the
most
exposed
to
accidents
of
all
kinds
and
especially
to
the
destruction
and
loss
of
the
very
things
upon
which
the
success
of
the
voyage
most
depends
hence
the
spare
boats
spare
spars
and
spare
lines
and
harpoons
and
spare
everythings
almost
but
a
spare
captain
and
duplicate
ship
at
the
period
of
our
arrival
at
the
island
the
heaviest
storage
of
the
pequod
had
been
almost
completed
comprising
her
beef
bread
water
fuel
and
iron
hoops
and
staves
but
as
before
hinted
for
some
time
there
was
a
continual
fetching
and
carrying
on
board
of
divers
odds
and
ends
of
things
both
large
and
small
chief
among
those
who
did
this
fetching
and
carrying
was
captain
bildads
sister
a
lean
old
lady
of
a
most
determined
and
indefatigable
spirit
but
withal
very
kindhearted
who
seemed
resolved
that
if
she
could
help
it
nothing
should
be
found
wanting
in
the
pequod
after
once
fairly
getting
to
sea
at
one
time
she
would
come
on
board
with
a
jar
of
pickles
for
the
stewards
pantry
another
time
with
a
bunch
of
quills
for
the
chief
mates
desk
where
he
kept
his
log
a
third
time
with
a
roll
of
flannel
for
the
small
of
some
ones
rheumatic
back
never
did
any
woman
better
deserve
her
name
which
was
charity
aunt
charity
as
everybody
called
her
and
like
a
sister
of
charity
did
this
charitable
aunt
charity
bustle
about
hither
and
thither
ready
to
turn
her
hand
and
heart
to
anything
that
promised
to
yield
safety
comfort
and
consolation
to
all
on
board
a
ship
in
which
her
beloved
brother
bildad
was
concerned
and
in
which
she
herself
owned
a
score
or
two
of
well
saved
dollars
but
it
was
startling
to
see
this
excellent
hearted
quakeress
coming
on
board
as
she
did
the
last
day
with
a
long
oil
ladle
in
one
hand
and
a
still
longer
whaling
lance
in
the
other
nor
was
bildad
himself
nor
captain
peleg
at
all
backward
as
for
bildad
he
carried
about
with
him
a
long
list
of
the
articles
needed
and
at
every
fresh
arrival
down
went
his
mark
opposite
that
article
upon
the
paper
every
once
and
a
while
peleg
came
hobbling
out
of
his
whalebone
den
roaring
at
the
men
down
the
hatchways
roaring
up
to
the
riggers
at
the
mast
head
and
then
concluded
by
roaring
back
into
his
wigwam
during
these
days
of
preparation
queequeg
and
i
often
visited
the
craft
and
as
often
i
asked
about
captain
ahab
and
how
he
was
and
when
he
was
going
to
come
on
board
his
ship
to
these
questions
they
would
answer
that
he
was
getting
better
and
better
and
was
expected
aboard
every
day
meantime
the
two
captains
peleg
and
bildad
could
attend
to
everything
necessary
to
fit
the
vessel
for
the
voyage
if
i
had
been
downright
honest
with
myself
i
would
have
seen
very
plainly
in
my
heart
that
i
did
but
half
fancy
being
committed
this
way
to
so
long
a
voyage
without
once
laying
my
eyes
on
the
man
who
was
to
be
the
absolute
dictator
of
it
so
soon
as
the
ship
sailed
out
upon
the
open
sea
but
when
a
man
suspects
any
wrong
it
sometimes
happens
that
if
he
be
already
involved
in
the
matter
he
insensibly
strives
to
cover
up
his
suspicions
even
from
himself
and
much
this
way
it
was
with
me
i
said
nothing
and
tried
to
think
nothing
at
last
it
was
given
out
that
some
time
next
day
the
ship
would
certainly
sail
so
next
morning
queequeg
and
i
took
a
very
early
start
it
was
nearly
six
oclock
but
only
grey
imperfect
misty
dawn
when
we
drew
nigh
the
wharf
there
are
some
sailors
running
ahead
there
if
i
see
right
said
i
to
queequeg
it
cant
be
shadows
shes
off
by
sunrise
i
guess
come
on
avast
cried
a
voice
whose
owner
at
the
same
time
coming
close
behind
us
laid
a
hand
upon
both
our
shoulders
and
then
insinuating
himself
between
us
stood
stooping
forward
a
little
in
the
uncertain
twilight
strangely
peering
from
queequeg
to
me
it
was
elijah
going
aboard
hands
off
will
you
said
i
lookee
here
said
queequeg
shaking
himself
go
way
aint
going
aboard
then
yes
we
are
said
i
but
what
business
is
that
of
yours
do
you
know
mr
elijah
that
i
consider
you
a
little
impertinent
no
no
no
i
wasnt
aware
of
that
said
elijah
slowly
and
wonderingly
looking
from
me
to
queequeg
with
the
most
unaccountable
glances
elijah
said
i
you
will
oblige
my
friend
and
me
by
withdrawing
we
are
going
to
the
indian
and
pacific
oceans
and
would
prefer
not
to
be
detained
ye
be
be
ye
coming
back
afore
breakfast
hes
cracked
queequeg
said
i
come
on
holloa
cried
stationary
elijah
hailing
us
when
we
had
removed
a
few
paces
never
mind
him
said
i
queequeg
come
on
but
he
stole
up
to
us
again
and
suddenly
clapping
his
hand
on
my
shoulder
said
did
ye
see
anything
looking
like
men
going
towards
that
ship
a
while
ago
struck
by
this
plain
matter
of
fact
question
i
answered
saying
yes
i
thought
i
did
see
four
or
five
men
but
it
was
too
dim
to
be
sure
very
dim
very
dim
said
elijah
morning
to
ye
once
more
we
quitted
him
but
once
more
he
came
softly
after
us
and
touching
my
shoulder
again
said
see
if
you
can
find
em
now
will
ye
find
who
morning
to
ye
morning
to
ye
he
rejoined
again
moving
off
oh
i
was
going
to
warn
ye
against
but
never
mind
never
mind
its
all
one
all
in
the
family
too
sharp
frost
this
morning
aint
it
good
bye
to
ye
shant
see
ye
again
very
soon
i
guess
unless
its
before
the
grand
jury
and
with
these
cracked
words
he
finally
departed
leaving
me
for
the
moment
in
no
small
wonderment
at
his
frantic
impudence
at
last
stepping
on
board
the
pequod
we
found
everything
in
profound
quiet
not
a
soul
moving
the
cabin
entrance
was
locked
within
the
hatches
were
all
on
and
lumbered
with
coils
of
rigging
going
forward
to
the
forecastle
we
found
the
slide
of
the
scuttle
open
seeing
a
light
we
went
down
and
found
only
an
old
rigger
there
wrapped
in
a
tattered
pea
jacket
he
was
thrown
at
whole
length
upon
two
chests
his
face
downwards
and
inclosed
in
his
folded
arms
the
profoundest
slumber
slept
upon
him
those
sailors
we
saw
queequeg
where
can
they
have
gone
to
said
i
looking
dubiously
at
the
sleeper
but
it
seemed
that
when
on
the
wharf
queequeg
had
not
at
all
noticed
what
i
now
alluded
to
hence
i
would
have
thought
myself
to
have
been
optically
deceived
in
that
matter
were
it
not
for
elijahs
otherwise
inexplicable
question
but
i
beat
the
thing
down
and
again
marking
the
sleeper
jocularly
hinted
to
queequeg
that
perhaps
we
had
best
sit
up
with
the
body
telling
him
to
establish
himself
accordingly
he
put
his
hand
upon
the
sleepers
rear
as
though
feeling
if
it
was
soft
enough
and
then
without
more
ado
sat
quietly
down
there
gracious
queequeg
dont
sit
there
said
i
oh
perry
dood
seat
said
queequeg
my
country
way
wont
hurt
him
face
face
said
i
call
that
his
face
very
benevolent
countenance
then
but
how
hard
he
breathes
hes
heaving
himself
get
off
queequeg
you
are
heavy
its
grinding
the
face
of
the
poor
get
off
queequeg
look
hell
twitch
you
off
soon
i
wonder
he
dont
wake
queequeg
removed
himself
to
just
beyond
the
head
of
the
sleeper
and
lighted
his
tomahawk
pipe
i
sat
at
the
feet
we
kept
the
pipe
passing
over
the
sleeper
from
one
to
the
other
meanwhile
upon
questioning
him
in
his
broken
fashion
queequeg
gave
me
to
understand
that
in
his
land
owing
to
the
absence
of
settees
and
sofas
of
all
sorts
the
king
chiefs
and
great
people
generally
were
in
the
custom
of
fattening
some
of
the
lower
orders
for
ottomans
and
to
furnish
a
house
comfortably
in
that
respect
you
had
only
to
buy
up
eight
or
ten
lazy
fellows
and
lay
them
round
in
the
piers
and
alcoves
besides
it
was
very
convenient
on
an
excursion
much
better
than
those
garden
chairs
which
are
convertible
into
walking
sticks
upon
occasion
a
chief
calling
his
attendant
and
desiring
him
to
make
a
settee
of
himself
under
a
spreading
tree
perhaps
in
some
damp
marshy
place
while
narrating
these
things
every
time
queequeg
received
the
tomahawk
from
me
he
flourished
the
hatchet
side
of
it
over
the
sleepers
head
whats
that
for
queequeg
perry
easy
kill
e
oh
perry
easy
he
was
going
on
with
some
wild
reminiscences
about
his
tomahawk
pipe
which
it
seemed
had
in
its
two
uses
both
brained
his
foes
and
soothed
his
soul
when
we
were
directly
attracted
to
the
sleeping
rigger
the
strong
vapor
now
completely
filling
the
contracted
hole
it
began
to
tell
upon
him
he
breathed
with
a
sort
of
muffledness
then
seemed
troubled
in
the
nose
then
revolved
over
once
or
twice
then
sat
up
and
rubbed
his
eyes
holloa
he
breathed
at
last
who
be
ye
smokers
shipped
men
answered
i
when
does
she
sail
aye
aye
ye
are
going
in
her
be
ye
she
sails
to
day
the
captain
came
aboard
last
night
what
captain
ahab
who
but
him
indeed
i
was
going
to
ask
him
some
further
questions
concerning
ahab
when
we
heard
a
noise
on
deck
halloa
starbucks
astir
said
the
rigger
hes
a
lively
chief
mate
that
good
man
and
a
pious
but
all
alive
now
i
must
turn
to
and
so
saying
he
went
on
deck
and
we
followed
it
was
now
clear
sunrise
soon
the
crew
came
on
board
in
twos
and
threes
the
riggers
bestirred
themselves
the
mates
were
actively
engaged
and
several
of
the
shore
people
were
busy
in
bringing
various
last
things
on
board
meanwhile
captain
ahab
remained
invisibly
enshrined
within
his
cabin
at
length
towards
noon
upon
the
final
dismissal
of
the
ships
riggers
and
after
the
pequod
had
been
hauled
out
from
the
wharf
and
after
the
ever
thoughtful
charity
had
come
off
in
a
whaleboat
with
her
last
gift
a
night
cap
for
stubb
the
second
mate
her
brother
in
law
and
a
spare
bible
for
the
steward
after
all
this
the
two
captains
peleg
and
bildad
issued
from
the
cabin
and
turning
to
the
chief
mate
peleg
said
now
mr
starbuck
are
you
sure
everything
is
right
captain
ahab
is
all
ready
just
spoke
to
him
nothing
more
to
be
got
from
shore
eh
well
call
all
hands
then
muster
em
aft
here
blast
em
no
need
of
profane
words
however
great
the
hurry
peleg
said
bildad
but
away
with
thee
friend
starbuck
and
do
our
bidding
how
now
here
upon
the
very
point
of
starting
for
the
voyage
captain
peleg
and
captain
bildad
were
going
it
with
a
high
hand
on
the
quarter
deck
just
as
if
they
were
to
be
joint
commanders
at
sea
as
well
as
to
all
appearances
in
port
and
as
for
captain
ahab
no
sign
of
him
was
yet
to
be
seen
only
they
said
he
was
in
the
cabin
but
then
the
idea
was
that
his
presence
was
by
no
means
necessary
in
getting
the
ship
under
weigh
and
steering
her
well
out
to
sea
indeed
as
that
was
not
at
all
his
proper
business
but
the
pilots
and
as
he
was
not
yet
completely
recovered
so
they
said
therefore
captain
ahab
stayed
below
and
all
this
seemed
natural
enough
especially
as
in
the
merchant
service
many
captains
never
show
themselves
on
deck
for
a
considerable
time
after
heaving
up
the
anchor
but
remain
over
the
cabin
table
having
a
farewell
merrymaking
with
their
shore
friends
before
they
quit
the
ship
for
good
with
the
pilot
but
there
was
not
much
chance
to
think
over
the
matter
for
captain
peleg
was
now
all
alive
he
seemed
to
do
most
of
the
talking
and
commanding
and
not
bildad
aft
here
ye
sons
of
bachelors
he
cried
as
the
sailors
lingered
at
the
main
mast
mr
starbuck
drive
em
aft
strike
the
tent
there
was
the
next
order
as
i
hinted
before
this
whalebone
marquee
was
never
pitched
except
in
port
and
on
board
the
pequod
for
thirty
years
the
order
to
strike
the
tent
was
well
known
to
be
the
next
thing
to
heaving
up
the
anchor
man
the
capstan
blood
and
thunder
jump
was
the
next
command
and
the
crew
sprang
for
the
handspikes
now
in
getting
under
weigh
the
station
generally
occupied
by
the
pilot
is
the
forward
part
of
the
ship
and
here
bildad
who
with
peleg
be
it
known
in
addition
to
his
other
offices
was
one
of
the
licensed
pilots
of
the
port
he
being
suspected
to
have
got
himself
made
a
pilot
in
order
to
save
the
nantucket
pilot
fee
to
all
the
ships
he
was
concerned
in
for
he
never
piloted
any
other
craft
bildad
i
say
might
now
be
seen
actively
engaged
in
looking
over
the
bows
for
the
approaching
anchor
and
at
intervals
singing
what
seemed
a
dismal
stave
of
psalmody
to
cheer
the
hands
at
the
windlass
who
roared
forth
some
sort
of
a
chorus
about
the
girls
in
booble
alley
with
hearty
good
will
nevertheless
not
three
days
previous
bildad
had
told
them
that
no
profane
songs
would
be
allowed
on
board
the
pequod
particularly
in
getting
under
weigh
and
charity
his
sister
had
placed
a
small
choice
copy
of
watts
in
each
seamans
berth
meantime
overseeing
the
other
part
of
the
ship
captain
peleg
ripped
and
swore
astern
in
the
most
frightful
manner
i
almost
thought
he
would
sink
the
ship
before
the
anchor
could
be
got
up
involuntarily
i
paused
on
my
handspike
and
told
queequeg
to
do
the
same
thinking
of
the
perils
we
both
ran
in
starting
on
the
voyage
with
such
a
devil
for
a
pilot
i
was
comforting
myself
however
with
the
thought
that
in
pious
bildad
might
be
found
some
salvation
spite
of
his
seven
hundred
and
seventy
seventh
lay
when
i
felt
a
sudden
sharp
poke
in
my
rear
and
turning
round
was
horrified
at
the
apparition
of
captain
peleg
in
the
act
of
withdrawing
his
leg
from
my
immediate
vicinity
that
was
my
first
kick
is
that
the
way
they
heave
in
the
marchant
service
he
roared
spring
thou
sheep
head
spring
and
break
thy
backbone
why
dont
ye
spring
i
say
all
of
ye
spring
quohog
spring
thou
chap
with
the
red
whiskers
spring
there
scotchcap
spring
thou
green
pants
spring
i
say
all
of
ye
and
spring
your
eyes
out
and
so
saying
he
moved
along
the
windlass
here
and
there
using
his
leg
very
freely
while
imperturbable
bildad
kept
leading
off
with
his
psalmody
thinks
i
captain
peleg
must
have
been
drinking
something
to
day
at
last
the
anchor
was
up
the
sails
were
set
and
off
we
glided
it
was
a
short
cold
christmas
and
as
the
short
northern
day
merged
into
night
we
found
ourselves
almost
broad
upon
the
wintry
ocean
whose
freezing
spray
cased
us
in
ice
as
in
polished
armor
the
long
rows
of
teeth
on
the
bulwarks
glistened
in
the
moonlight
and
like
the
white
ivory
tusks
of
some
huge
elephant
vast
curving
icicles
depended
from
the
bows
lank
bildad
as
pilot
headed
the
first
watch
and
ever
and
anon
as
the
old
craft
deep
dived
into
the
green
seas
and
sent
the
shivering
frost
all
over
her
and
the
winds
howled
and
the
cordage
rang
his
steady
notes
were
heard
sweet
fields
beyond
the
swelling
flood
stand
dressed
in
living
green
so
to
the
jews
old
canaan
stood
while
jordan
rolled
between
never
did
those
sweet
words
sound
more
sweetly
to
me
than
then
they
were
full
of
hope
and
fruition
spite
of
this
frigid
winter
night
in
the
boisterous
atlantic
spite
of
my
wet
feet
and
wetter
jacket
there
was
yet
it
then
seemed
to
me
many
a
pleasant
haven
in
store
and
meads
and
glades
so
eternally
vernal
that
the
grass
shot
up
by
the
spring
untrodden
unwilted
remains
at
midsummer
at
last
we
gained
such
an
offing
that
the
two
pilots
were
needed
no
longer
the
stout
sail
boat
that
had
accompanied
us
began
ranging
alongside
it
was
curious
and
not
unpleasing
how
peleg
and
bildad
were
affected
at
this
juncture
especially
captain
bildad
for
loath
to
depart
yet
very
loath
to
leave
for
good
a
ship
bound
on
so
long
and
perilous
a
voyage
beyond
both
stormy
capes
a
ship
in
which
some
thousands
of
his
hard
earned
dollars
were
invested
a
ship
in
which
an
old
shipmate
sailed
as
captain
a
man
almost
as
old
as
he
once
more
starting
to
encounter
all
the
terrors
of
the
pitiless
jaw
loath
to
say
good
bye
to
a
thing
so
every
way
brimful
of
every
interest
to
him
poor
old
bildad
lingered
long
paced
the
deck
with
anxious
strides
ran
down
into
the
cabin
to
speak
another
farewell
word
there
again
came
on
deck
and
looked
to
windward
looked
towards
the
wide
and
endless
waters
only
bounded
by
the
far
off
unseen
eastern
continents
looked
towards
the
land
looked
aloft
looked
right
and
left
looked
everywhere
and
nowhere
and
at
last
mechanically
coiling
a
rope
upon
its
pin
convulsively
grasped
stout
peleg
by
the
hand
and
holding
up
a
lantern
for
a
moment
stood
gazing
heroically
in
his
face
as
much
as
to
say
nevertheless
friend
peleg
i
can
stand
it
yes
i
can
as
for
peleg
himself
he
took
it
more
like
a
philosopher
but
for
all
his
philosophy
there
was
a
tear
twinkling
in
his
eye
when
the
lantern
came
too
near
and
he
too
did
not
a
little
run
from
cabin
to
deck
now
a
word
below
and
now
a
word
with
starbuck
the
chief
mate
but
at
last
he
turned
to
his
comrade
with
a
final
sort
of
look
about
him
captain
bildad
come
old
shipmate
we
must
go
back
the
main
yard

captain
bildad

palavering
away
and
with
that
peleg
hurried
him
over
the
side
and
both
dropt
into
the
boat
ship
and
boat
diverged
the
cold
damp
night
breeze
blew
between
a
screaming
gull
flew
overhead
the
two
hulls
wildly
rolled
we
gave
three
heavy
hearted
cheers
and
blindly
plunged
like
fate
into
the
lone
atlantic
some
chapters
back
one
bulkington
was
spoken
of
a
tall
new
landed
mariner
encountered
in
new
bedford
at
the
inn
when
on
that
shivering
winters
night
the
pequod
thrust
her
vindictive
bows
into
the
cold
malicious
waves
who
should
i
see
standing
at
her
helm
but
bulkington
i
looked
with
sympathetic
awe
and
fearfulness
upon
the
man
who
in
mid
winter
just
landed
from
a
four
years
dangerous
voyage
could
so
unrestingly
push
off
again
for
still
another
tempestuous
term
the
land
seemed
scorching
to
his
feet
wonderfullest
things
are
ever
the
unmentionable
deep
memories
yield
no
epitaphs
this
six
inch
chapter
is
the
stoneless
grave
of
bulkington
let
me
only
say
that
it
fared
with
him
as
with
the
storm
tossed
ship
that
miserably
drives
along
the
leeward
land
the
port
would
fain
give
succor
the
port
is
pitiful
in
the
port
is
safety
comfort
hearthstone
supper
warm
blankets
friends
all
thats
kind
to
our
mortalities
but
in
that
gale
the
port
the
land
is
that
ships
direst
jeopardy
she
must
fly
all
hospitality
one
touch
of
land
though
it
but
graze
the
keel
would
make
her
shudder
through
and
through
with
all
her
might
she
crowds
all
sail
off
shore
in
so
doing
fights
gainst
the
very
winds
that
fain
would
blow
her
homeward
seeks
all
the
lashed
seas
landlessness
again
for
refuges
sake
forlornly
rushing
into
peril
her
only
friend
her
bitterest
foe
know
ye
now
bulkington
glimpses
do
ye
seem
to
see
of
that
mortally
intolerable
truth
that
all
deep
earnest
thinking
is
but
the
intrepid
effort
of
the
soul
to
keep
the
open
independence
of
her
sea
while
the
wildest
winds
of
heaven
and
earth
conspire
to
cast
her
on
the
treacherous
slavish
shore
but
as
in
landlessness
alone
resides
the
highest
truth
shoreless
indefinite
as
god
so
better
is
it
to
perish
in
that
howling
infinite
than
be
ingloriously
dashed
upon
the
lee
even
if
that
were
safety
for
worm
like
then
oh
who
would
craven
crawl
to
land
terrors
of
the
terrible
is
all
this
agony
so
vain
take
heart
take
heart
o
bulkington
bear
thee
grimly
demigod
up
from
the
spray
of
thy
ocean
perishing
straight
up
leaps
thy
apotheosis
as
queequeg
and
i
are
now
fairly
embarked
in
this
business
of
whaling
and
as
this
business
of
whaling
has
somehow
come
to
be
regarded
among
landsmen
as
a
rather
unpoetical
and
disreputable
pursuit
therefore
i
am
all
anxiety
to
convince
ye
ye
landsmen
of
the
injustice
hereby
done
to
us
hunters
of
whales
in
the
first
place
it
may
be
deemed
almost
superfluous
to
establish
the
fact
that
among
people
at
large
the
business
of
whaling
is
not
accounted
on
a
level
with
what
are
called
the
liberal
professions
if
a
stranger
were
introduced
into
any
miscellaneous
metropolitan
society
it
would
but
slightly
advance
the
general
opinion
of
his
merits
were
he
presented
to
the
company
as
a
harpooneer
say
and
if
in
emulation
of
the
naval
officers
he
should
append
the
initials
s
w
f
sperm
whale
fishery
to
his
visiting
card
such
a
procedure
would
be
deemed
pre
eminently
presuming
and
ridiculous
doubtless
one
leading
reason
why
the
world
declines
honoring
us
whalemen
is
this
they
think
that
at
best
our
vocation
amounts
to
a
butchering
sort
of
business
and
that
when
actively
engaged
therein
we
are
surrounded
by
all
manner
of
defilements
butchers
we
are
that
is
true
but
butchers
also
and
butchers
of
the
bloodiest
badge
have
been
all
martial
commanders
whom
the
world
invariably
delights
to
honor
and
as
for
the
matter
of
the
alleged
uncleanliness
of
our
business
ye
shall
soon
be
initiated
into
certain
facts
hitherto
pretty
generally
unknown
and
which
upon
the
whole
will
triumphantly
plant
the
sperm
whale
ship
at
least
among
the
cleanliest
things
of
this
tidy
earth
but
even
granting
the
charge
in
question
to
be
true
what
disordered
slippery
decks
of
a
whale
ship
are
comparable
to
the
unspeakable
carrion
of
those
battle
fields
from
which
so
many
soldiers
return
to
drink
in
all
ladies
plaudits
and
if
the
idea
of
peril
so
much
enhances
the
popular
conceit
of
the
soldiers
profession
let
me
assure
ye
that
many
a
veteran
who
has
freely
marched
up
to
a
battery
would
quickly
recoil
at
the
apparition
of
the
sperm
whales
vast
tail
fanning
into
eddies
the
air
over
his
head
for
what
are
the
comprehensible
terrors
of
man
compared
with
the
interlinked
terrors
and
wonders
of
god
but
though
the
world
scouts
at
us
whale
hunters
yet
does
it
unwittingly
pay
us
the
profoundest
homage
yea
an
all
abounding
adoration
for
almost
all
the
tapers
lamps
and
candles
that
burn
round
the
globe
burn
as
before
so
many
shrines
to
our
glory
but
look
at
this
matter
in
other
lights
weigh
it
in
all
sorts
of
scales
see
what
we
whalemen
are
and
have
been
why
did
the
dutch
in
dewitts
time
have
admirals
of
their
whaling
fleets
why
did
louis
xvi
of
france
at
his
own
personal
expense
fit
out
whaling
ships
from
dunkirk
and
politely
invite
to
that
town
some
score
or
two
of
families
from
our
own
island
of
nantucket
why
did
britain
between
the
years
and
pay
to
her
whalemen
in
bounties
upwards
of
pounds
and
lastly
how
comes
it
that
we
whalemen
of
america
now
outnumber
all
the
rest
of
the
banded
whalemen
in
the
world
sail
a
navy
of
upwards
of
seven
hundred
vessels
manned
by
eighteen
thousand
men
yearly
consuming
of
dollars
the
ships
worth
at
the
time
of
sailing
dollars
and
every
year
importing
into
our
harbors
a
well
reaped
harvest
of
dollars
how
comes
all
this
if
there
be
not
something
puissant
in
whaling
but
this
is
not
the
half
look
again
i
freely
assert
that
the
cosmopolite
philosopher
cannot
for
his
life
point
out
one
single
peaceful
influence
which
within
the
last
sixty
years
has
operated
more
potentially
upon
the
whole
broad
world
taken
in
one
aggregate
than
the
high
and
mighty
business
of
whaling
one
way
and
another
it
has
begotten
events
so
remarkable
in
themselves
and
so
continuously
momentous
in
their
sequential
issues
that
whaling
may
well
be
regarded
as
that
egyptian
mother
who
bore
offspring
themselves
pregnant
from
her
womb
it
would
be
a
hopeless
endless
task
to
catalogue
all
these
things
let
a
handful
suffice
for
many
years
past
the
whale
ship
has
been
the
pioneer
in
ferreting
out
the
remotest
and
least
known
parts
of
the
earth
she
has
explored
seas
and
archipelagoes
which
had
no
chart
where
no
cook
or
vancouver
had
ever
sailed
if
american
and
european
men
of
war
now
peacefully
ride
in
once
savage
harbors
let
them
fire
salutes
to
the
honor
and
glory
of
the
whale
ship
which
originally
showed
them
the
way
and
first
interpreted
between
them
and
the
savages
they
may
celebrate
as
they
will
the
heroes
of
exploring
expeditions
your
cookes
your
krusensterns
but
i
say
that
scores
of
anonymous
captains
have
sailed
out
of
nantucket
that
were
as
great
and
greater
than
your
cooke
and
your
krusenstern
for
in
their
succorless
emptyhandedness
they
in
the
heathenish
sharked
waters
and
by
the
beaches
of
unrecorded
javelin
islands
battled
with
virgin
wonders
and
terrors
that
cooke
with
all
his
marines
and
muskets
would
not
willingly
have
dared
all
that
is
made
such
a
flourish
of
in
the
old
south
sea
voyages
those
things
were
but
the
lifetime
commonplaces
of
our
heroic
nantucketers
often
adventures
which
vancouver
dedicates
three
chapters
to
these
men
accounted
unworthy
of
being
set
down
in
the
ships
common
log
ah
the
world
oh
the
world
until
the
whale
fishery
rounded
cape
horn
no
commerce
but
colonial
scarcely
any
intercourse
but
colonial
was
carried
on
between
europe
and
the
long
line
of
the
opulent
spanish
provinces
on
the
pacific
coast
it
was
the
whaleman
who
first
broke
through
the
jealous
policy
of
the
spanish
crown
touching
those
colonies
and
if
space
permitted
it
might
be
distinctly
shown
how
from
those
whalemen
at
last
eventuated
the
liberation
of
peru
chili
and
bolivia
from
the
yoke
of
old

and
the
establishment
of

eternal
democracy
in

to

after
its

blunder
born

by
a
dutchman
all
other

long
shunned
those
shores
as
pestiferously
barbarous
but
the

touched
there
the

is
the
true
mother
of
that
now
mighty
colony
moreover
in
the
infancy
of
the
first
australian
settlement
the
emigrants
were
several
times
saved
from
starvation
by
the
benevolent
biscuit
of
the
whale
ship
luckily
dropping
an
anchor
in
their
waters
the
uncounted
isles
of
all
polynesia
confess
the
same
truth
and
do
commercial
homage
to
the
whale
ship
that
cleared
the
way
for
the
missionary
and
the
merchant
and
in
many
cases
carried
the
primitive
missionaries
to
their
first
destinations
if
that
double
bolted
land
japan
is
ever
to
become
hospitable
it
is
the
whale
ship
alone
to
whom
the
credit
will
be
due
for
already
she
is
on
the
threshold
but
if
in
the
face
of
all
this
you
still
declare
that
whaling
has
no
aesthetically
noble
associations
connected
with
it
then
am
i
ready
to
shiver
fifty
lances
with
you
there
and
unhorse
you
with
a
split
helmet
every
time
the
whale
has
no
famous
author
and
whaling
no
famous
chronicler
you
will
say
the
whale
no
famous
author
and
whaling
no
famous
chronicler
who
wrote
the
first
account
of
our
leviathan
who
but
mighty
job
and
who
composed
the
first
narrative
of
a
whaling
voyage
who
but
no
less
a
prince
than
alfred
the
great
who
with
his
own
royal
pen
took
down
the
words
from

the
norwegian
whale
hunter
of
those
times
and
who
pronounced
our
glowing
eulogy
in
parliament
who
but
edmund
burke
true
enough
but
then
whalemen
themselves
are
poor
devils
they
have
no
good
blood
in
their
veins
no
good
blood
in
their

they
have
something
better
than

what

will

is

on

in
behalf
of

dignity
of
whaling
i
would
fain
advance
naught
but
substantiated
facts
but
after
embattling
his
facts
an
advocate
who
should
wholly
suppress
a
not
unreasonable
surmise
which
might
tell
eloquently
upon
his
cause
such
an
advocate
would
he
not
be
blameworthy
it
is
well
known
that
at
the
coronation
of
kings
and
queens
even
modern
ones
a
certain
curious
process
of
seasoning
them
for
their
functions
is
gone
through
there
is
a
saltcellar
of
state
so
called
and
there
may
be
a
caster
of
state
how
they
use
the
salt
precisely
who
knows
certain
i
am
however
that
a
kings
head
is
solemnly
oiled
at
his
coronation
even
as
a
head
of
salad
can
it
be
though
that
they
anoint
it
with
a
view
of
making
its
interior
run
well
as
they
anoint
machinery
much
might
be
ruminated
here
concerning
the
essential
dignity
of
this
regal
process
because
in
common
life
we
esteem
but
meanly
and
contemptibly
a
fellow
who
anoints
his
hair
and
palpably
smells
of
that
anointing
in
truth
a
mature
man
who
uses
hair
oil
unless
medicinally
that
man
has
probably
got
a
quoggy
spot
in
him
somewhere
as
a
general
rule
he
cant
amount
to
much
in
his
totality
but
the
only
thing
to
be
considered
here
is
this
what
kind
of
oil
is
used
at
coronations
certainly
it
cannot
be
olive
oil
nor
macassar
oil
nor
castor
oil
nor
bears
oil
nor
train
oil
nor
cod
liver
oil
what
then
can
it
possibly
be
but
sperm
oil
in
its
unmanufactured
unpolluted
state
the
sweetest
of
all
oils
think
of
that
ye
loyal
britons
we
whalemen
supply
your
kings
and
queens
with
coronation
stuff
the
chief
mate
of
the
pequod
was
starbuck
a
native
of
nantucket
and
a
quaker
by
descent
he
was
a
long
earnest
man
and
though
born
on
an
icy
coast
seemed
well
adapted
to
endure
hot
latitudes
his
flesh
being
hard
as
twice
baked
biscuit
transported
to
the
indies
his
live
blood
would
not
spoil
like
bottled
ale
he
must
have
been
born
in
some
time
of
general
drought
and
famine
or
upon
one
of
those
fast
days
for
which
his
state
is
famous
only
some
thirty
arid
summers
had
he
seen
those
summers
had
dried
up
all
his
physical
superfluousness
but
this
his
thinness
so
to
speak
seemed
no
more
the
token
of
wasting
anxieties
and
cares
than
it
seemed
the
indication
of
any
bodily
blight
it
was
merely
the
condensation
of
the
man
he
was
by
no
means
ill
looking
quite
the
contrary
his
pure
tight
skin
was
an
excellent
fit
and
closely
wrapped
up
in
it
and
embalmed
with
inner
health
and
strength
like
a
revivified
egyptian
this
starbuck
seemed
prepared
to
endure
for
long
ages
to
come
and
to
endure
always
as
now
for
be
it
polar
snow
or
torrid
sun
like
a
patent
chronometer
his
interior
vitality
was
warranted
to
do
well
in
all
climates
looking
into
his
eyes
you
seemed
to
see
there
the
yet
lingering
images
of
those
thousand
fold
perils
he
had
calmly
confronted
through
life
a
staid
steadfast
man
whose
life
for
the
most
part
was
a
telling
pantomime
of
action
and
not
a
tame
chapter
of
sounds
yet
for
all
his
hardy
sobriety
and
fortitude
there
were
certain
qualities
in
him
which
at
times
affected
and
in
some
cases
seemed
well
nigh
to
overbalance
all
the
rest
uncommonly
conscientious
for
a
seaman
and
endued
with
a
deep
natural
reverence
the
wild
watery
loneliness
of
his
life
did
therefore
strongly
incline
him
to
superstition
but
to
that
sort
of
superstition
which
in
some
organizations
seems
rather
to
spring
somehow
from
intelligence
than
from
ignorance
outward
portents
and
inward
presentiments
were
his
and
if
at
times
these
things
bent
the
welded
iron
of
his
soul
much
more
did
his
far
away
domestic
memories
of
his
young
cape
wife
and
child
tend
to
bend
him
still
more
from
the
original
ruggedness
of
his
nature
and
open
him
still
further
to
those
latent
influences
which
in
some
honest
hearted
men
restrain
the
gush
of
dare
devil
daring
so
often
evinced
by
others
in
the
more
perilous
vicissitudes
of
the
fishery
i
will
have
no
man
in
my
boat
said
starbuck
who
is
not
afraid
of
a
whale
by
this
he
seemed
to
mean
not
only
that
the
most
reliable
and
useful
courage
was
that
which
arises
from
the
fair
estimation
of
the
encountered
peril
but
that
an
utterly
fearless
man
is
a
far
more
dangerous
comrade
than
a
coward
aye
aye
said
stubb
the
second
mate
starbuck
there
is
as
careful
a
man
as
youll
find
anywhere
in
this
fishery
but
we
shall
ere
long
see
what
that
word
careful
precisely
means
when
used
by
a
man
like
stubb
or
almost
any
other
whale
hunter
starbuck
was
no
crusader
after
perils
in
him
courage
was
not
a
sentiment
but
a
thing
simply
useful
to
him
and
always
at
hand
upon
all
mortally
practical
occasions
besides
he
thought
perhaps
that
in
this
business
of
whaling
courage
was
one
of
the
great
staple
outfits
of
the
ship
like
her
beef
and
her
bread
and
not
to
be
foolishly
wasted
wherefore
he
had
no
fancy
for
lowering
for
whales
after
sun
down
nor
for
persisting
in
fighting
a
fish
that
too
much
persisted
in
fighting
him
for
thought
starbuck
i
am
here
in
this
critical
ocean
to
kill
whales
for
my
living
and
not
to
be
killed
by
them
for
theirs
and
that
hundreds
of
men
had
been
so
killed
starbuck
well
knew
what
doom
was
his
own
fathers
where
in
the
bottomless
deeps
could
he
find
the
torn
limbs
of
his
brother
with
memories
like
these
in
him
and
moreover
given
to
a
certain
superstitiousness
as
has
been
said
the
courage
of
this
starbuck
which
could
nevertheless
still
flourish
must
indeed
have
been
extreme
but
it
was
not
in
reasonable
nature
that
a
man
so
organized
and
with
such
terrible
experiences
and
remembrances
as
he
had
it
was
not
in
nature
that
these
things
should
fail
in
latently
engendering
an
element
in
him
which
under
suitable
circumstances
would
break
out
from
its
confinement
and
burn
all
his
courage
up
and
brave
as
he
might
be
it
was
that
sort
of
bravery
chiefly
visible
in
some
intrepid
men
which
while
generally
abiding
firm
in
the
conflict
with
seas
or
winds
or
whales
or
any
of
the
ordinary
irrational
horrors
of
the
world
yet
cannot
withstand
those
more
terrific
because
more
spiritual
terrors
which
sometimes
menace
you
from
the
concentrating
brow
of
an
enraged
and
mighty
man
but
were
the
coming
narrative
to
reveal
in
any
instance
the
complete
abasement
of
poor
starbucks
fortitude
scarce
might
i
have
the
heart
to
write
it
for
it
is
a
thing
most
sorrowful
nay
shocking
to
expose
the
fall
of
valor
in
the
soul
men
may
seem
detestable
as
joint
stock
companies
and
nations
knaves
fools
and
murderers
there
may
be
men
may
have
mean
and
meagre
faces
but
man
in
the
ideal
is
so
noble
and
so
sparkling
such
a
grand
and
glowing
creature
that
over
any
ignominious
blemish
in
him
all
his
fellows
should
run
to
throw
their
costliest
robes
that
immaculate
manliness
we
feel
within
ourselves
so
far
within
us
that
it
remains
intact
though
all

itself
at

a

this

stubb
was
the
second
mate
he
was
a
native
of
cape
cod
and
hence
according
to
local
usage
was
called
a
cape
cod
man
a
happy
go
lucky
neither
craven
nor
valiant
taking
perils
as
they
came
with
an
indifferent
air
and
while
engaged
in
the
most
imminent
crisis
of
the
chase
toiling
away
calm
and
collected
as
a
journeyman
joiner
engaged
for
the
year
good
humored
easy
and
careless
he
presided
over
his
whale
boat
as
if
the
most
deadly
encounter
were
but
a
dinner
and
his
crew
all
invited
guests
he
was
as
particular
about
the
comfortable
arrangement
of
his
part
of
the
boat
as
an
old
stage
driver
is
about
the
snugness
of
his
box
when
close
to
the
whale
in
the
very
death
lock
of
the
fight
he
handled
his
unpitying
lance
coolly
and
off
handedly
as
a
whistling
tinker
his
hammer
he
would
hum
over
his
old
rigadig
tunes
while
flank
and
flank
with
the
most
exasperated
monster
long
usage
had
for
this
stubb
converted
the
jaws
of
death
into
an
easy
chair
what
he
thought
of
death
itself
there
is
no
telling
whether
he
ever
thought
of
it
at
all
might
be
a
question
but
if
he
ever
did
chance
to
cast
his
mind
that
way
after
a
comfortable
dinner
no
doubt
like
a
good
sailor
he
took
it
to
be
a
sort
of
call
of
the
watch
to
tumble
aloft
and
bestir
themselves
there
about
something
which
he
would
find
out
when
he
obeyed
the
order
and
not
sooner
what
perhaps
with
other
things
made
stubb
such
an
easygoing
unfearing
man
so
cheerily
trudging
off
with
the
burden
of
life
in
a
world
full
of
grave
peddlers
all
bowed
to
the
ground
with
their
packs
what
helped
to
bring
about
that
almost
impious
good
humor
of
his
that
thing
must
have
been
his
pipe
for
like
his
nose
his
short
black
little
pipe
was
one
of
the
regular
features
of
his
face
you
would
almost
as
soon
have
expected
him
to
turn
out
of
his
bunk
without
his
nose
as
without
his
pipe
he
kept
a
whole
row
of
pipes
there
ready
loaded
stuck
in
a
rack
within
easy
reach
of
his
hand
and
whenever
he
turned
in
he
smoked
them
all
out
in
succession
lighting
one
from
the
other
to
the
end
of
the
chapter
then
loading
them
again
to
be
in
readiness
anew
for
when
stubb
dressed
instead
of
first
putting
his
legs
into
his
trowsers
he
put
his
pipe
into
his
mouth
i
say
this
continual
smoking
must
have
been
one
cause
at
least
of
his
peculiar
disposition
for
every
one
knows
that
this
earthly
air
whether
ashore
or
afloat
is
terribly
infected
with
the
nameless
miseries
of
the
numberless
mortals
who
have
died
exhaling
it
and
as
in
time
of
the
cholera
some
people
go
about
with
a
camphorated
handkerchief
to
their
mouths
so
likewise
against
all
mortal
tribulations
stubbs
tobacco
smoke
might
have
operated
as
a
sort
of
disinfecting
agent
the
third
mate
was
flask
a
native
of
tisbury
in
marthas
vineyard
a
short
stout
ruddy
young
fellow
very
pugnacious
concerning
whales
who
somehow
seemed
to
think
that
the
great
leviathans
had
personally
and
hereditarily
affronted
him
and
therefore
it
was
a
sort
of
point
of
honor
with
him
to
destroy
them
whenever
encountered
so
utterly
lost
was
he
to
all
sense
of
reverence
for
the
many
marvels
of
their
majestic
bulk
and
mystic
ways
and
so
dead
to
anything
like
an
apprehension
of
any
possible
danger
from
encountering
them
that
in
his
poor
opinion
the
wondrous
whale
was
but
a
species
of
magnified
mouse
or
at
least
water
rat
requiring
only
a
little
circumvention
and
some
small
application
of
time
and
trouble
in
order
to
kill
and
boil
this
ignorant
unconscious
fearlessness
of
his
made
him
a
little
waggish
in
the
matter
of
whales
he
followed
these
fish
for
the
fun
of
it
and
a
three
years
voyage
round
cape
horn
was
only
a
jolly
joke
that
lasted
that
length
of
time
as
a
carpenters
nails
are
divided
into
wrought
nails
and
cut
nails
so
mankind
may
be
similarly
divided
little
flask
was
one
of
the
wrought
ones
made
to
clinch
tight
and
last
long
they
called
him
king
post
on
board
of
the
pequod
because
in
form
he
could
be
well
likened
to
the
short
square
timber
known
by
that
name
in
arctic
whalers
and
which
by
the
means
of
many
radiating
side
timbers
inserted
in
it
served
to
brace
the
ship
against
the
icy
concussions
of
those
battering
seas
now
these
three
mates
starbuck
stubb
and
flask
were
momentous
men
they
it
was
who
by
universal
prescription
commanded
three
of
the
pequods
boats
as
headsmen
in
that
grand
order
of
battle
in
which
captain
ahab
would
probably
marshal
his
forces
to
descend
on
the
whales
these
three
headsmen
were
as
captains
of
companies
or
being
armed
with
their
long
keen
whaling
spears
they
were
as
a
picked
trio
of
lancers
even
as
the
harpooneers
were
flingers
of
javelins
and
since
in
this
famous
fishery
each
mate
or
headsman
like
a
gothic
knight
of
old
is
always
accompanied
by
his
boat
steerer
or
harpooneer
who
in
certain
conjunctures
provides
him
with
a
fresh
lance
when
the
former
one
has
been
badly
twisted
or
elbowed
in
the
assault
and
moreover
as
there
generally
subsists
between
the
two
a
close
intimacy
and
friendliness
it
is
therefore
but
meet
that
in
this
place
we
set
down
who
the
pequods
harpooneers
were
and
to
what
headsman
each
of
them
belonged
first
of
all
was
queequeg
whom
starbuck
the
chief
mate
had
selected
for
his
squire
but
queequeg
is
already
known
next
was
tashtego
an
unmixed
indian
from
gay
head
the
most
westerly
promontory
of
marthas
vineyard
where
there
still
exists
the
last
remnant
of
a
village
of
red
men
which
has
long
supplied
the
neighboring
island
of
nantucket
with
many
of
her
most
daring
harpooneers
in
the
fishery
they
usually
go
by
the
generic
name
of
gay
headers
tashtegos
long
lean
sable
hair
his
high
cheek
bones
and
black
rounding
eyes
for
an
indian
oriental
in
their
largeness
but
antarctic
in
their
glittering
expression
all
this
sufficiently
proclaimed
him
an
inheritor
of
the
unvitiated
blood
of
those
proud
warrior
hunters
who
in
quest
of
the
great
new
england
moose
had
scoured
bow
in
hand
the
aboriginal
forests
of
the
main
but
no
longer
snuffing
in
the
trail
of
the
wild
beasts
of
the
woodland
tashtego
now
hunted
in
the
wake
of
the
great
whales
of
the
sea
the
unerring
harpoon
of
the
son
fitly
replacing
the
infallible
arrow
of
the
sires
to
look
at
the
tawny
brawn
of
his
lithe
snaky
limbs
you
would
almost
have
credited
the
superstitions
of
some
of
the
earlier
puritans
and
half
believed
this
wild
indian
to
be
a
son
of
the
prince
of
the
powers
of
the
air
tashtego
was
stubb
the
second
mates
squire
third
among
the
harpooneers
was
daggoo
a
gigantic
coal
black
negro
savage
with
a
lion
like
tread
an
ahasuerus
to
behold
suspended
from
his
ears
were
two
golden
hoops
so
large
that
the
sailors
called
them
ring
bolts
and
would
talk
of
securing
the
top
sail
halyards
to
them
in
his
youth
daggoo
had
voluntarily
shipped
on
board
of
a
whaler
lying
in
a
lonely
bay
on
his
native
coast
and
never
having
been
anywhere
in
the
world
but
in
africa
nantucket
and
the
pagan
harbors
most
frequented
by
whalemen
and
having
now
led
for
many
years
the
bold
life
of
the
fishery
in
the
ships
of
owners
uncommonly
heedful
of
what
manner
of
men
they
shipped
daggoo
retained
all
his
barbaric
virtues
and
erect
as
a
giraffe
moved
about
the
decks
in
all
the
pomp
of
six
feet
five
in
his
socks
there
was
a
corporeal
humility
in
looking
up
at
him
and
a
white
man
standing
before
him
seemed
a
white
flag
come
to
beg
truce
of
a
fortress
curious
to
tell
this
imperial
negro
ahasuerus
daggoo
was
the
squire
of
little
flask
who
looked
like
a
chess
man
beside
him
as
for
the
residue
of
the
pequods
company
be
it
said
that
at
the
present
day
not
one
in
two
of
the
many
thousand
men
before
the
mast
employed
in
the
american
whale
fishery
are
americans
born
though
pretty
nearly
all
the
officers
are
herein
it
is
the
same
with
the
american
whale
fishery
as
with
the
american
army
and
military
and
merchant
navies
and
the
engineering
forces
employed
in
the
construction
of
the
american
canals
and
railroads
the
same
i
say
because
in
all
these
cases
the
native
american
liberally
provides
the
brains
the
rest
of
the
world
as
generously
supplying
the
muscles
no
small
number
of
these
whaling
seamen
belong
to
the
azores
where
the
outward
bound
nantucket
whalers
frequently
touch
to
augment
their
crews
from
the
hardy
peasants
of
those
rocky
shores
in
like
manner
the
greenland
whalers
sailing
out
of
hull
or
london
put
in
at
the
shetland
islands
to
receive
the
full
complement
of
their
crew
upon
the
passage
homewards
they
drop
them
there
again
how
it
is
there
is
no
telling
but
islanders
seem
to
make
the
best
whalemen
they
were
nearly
all
islanders
in
the
pequod

acknowledging

were
an
anacharsis
clootz
deputation
from
all
the

accompanying

before

black

never

oh
no
he
went
before
poor
alabama
boy
on
the
grim
pequods
forecastle
ye
shall
ere
long
see
him
beating
his
tambourine
prelusive
of
the
eternal
time
when
sent
for
to
the
great
quarter
deck
on
high
he
was
bid
strike
in
with
angels
and
beat
his
tambourine
in
glory
called
a
coward
here
hailed
a
hero
there
for
several
days
after
leaving
nantucket
nothing
above
hatches
was
seen
of
captain
ahab
the
mates
regularly
relieved
each
other
at
the
watches
and
for
aught
that
could
be
seen
to
the
contrary
they
seemed
to
be
the
only
commanders
of
the
ship
only
they
sometimes
issued
from
the
cabin
with
orders
so
sudden
and
peremptory
that
after
all
it
was
plain
they
but
commanded
vicariously
yes
their
supreme
lord
and
dictator
was
there
though
hitherto
unseen
by
any
eyes
not
permitted
to
penetrate
into
the
now
sacred
retreat
of
the
cabin
every
time
i
ascended
to
the
deck
from
my
watches
below
i
instantly
gazed
aft
to
mark
if
any
strange
face
were
visible
for
my
first
vague
disquietude
touching
the
unknown
captain
now
in
the
seclusion
of
the
sea
became
almost
a
perturbation
this
was
strangely
heightened
at
times
by
the
ragged
elijahs
diabolical
incoherences
uninvitedly
recurring
to
me
with
a
subtle
energy
i
could
not
have
before
conceived
of
but
poorly
could
i
withstand
them
much
as
in
other
moods
i
was
almost
ready
to
smile
at
the
solemn
whimsicalities
of
that
outlandish
prophet
of
the
wharves
but
whatever
it
was
of
apprehensiveness
or
uneasiness
to
call
it
so
which
i
felt
yet
whenever
i
came
to
look
about
me
in
the
ship
it
seemed
against
all
warrantry
to
cherish
such
emotions
for
though
the
harpooneers
with
the
great
body
of
the
crew
were
a
far
more
barbaric
heathenish
and
motley
set
than
any
of
the
tame
merchant
ship
companies
which
my
previous
experiences
had
made
me
acquainted
with
still
i
ascribed
this
and
rightly
ascribed
it
to
the
fierce
uniqueness
of
the
very
nature
of
that
wild
scandinavian
vocation
in
which
i
had
so
abandonedly
embarked
but
it
was
especially
the
aspect
of
the
three
chief
officers
of
the
ship
the
mates
which
was
most
forcibly
calculated
to
allay
these
colorless
misgivings
and
induce
confidence
and
cheerfulness
in
every
presentment
of
the
voyage
three
better
more
likely
sea
officers
and
men
each
in
his
own
different
way
could
not
readily
be
found
and
they
were
every
one
of
them
americans
a
nantucketer
a
vineyarder
a
cape
man
now
it
being
christmas
when
the
ship
shot
from
out
her
harbor
for
a
space
we
had
biting
polar
weather
though
all
the
time
running
away
from
it
to
the
southward
and
by
every
degree
and
minute
of
latitude
which
we
sailed
gradually
leaving
that
merciless
winter
and
all
its
intolerable
weather
behind
us
it
was
one
of
those
less
lowering
but
still
grey
and
gloomy
enough
mornings
of
the
transition
when
with
a
fair
wind
the
ship
was
rushing
through
the
water
with
a
vindictive
sort
of
leaping
and
melancholy
rapidity
that
as
i
mounted
to
the
deck
at
the
call
of
the
forenoon
watch
so
soon
as
i
levelled
my
glance
towards
the
taffrail
foreboding
shivers
ran
over
me
reality
outran
apprehension
captain
ahab
stood
upon
his
quarter
deck
there
seemed
no
sign
of
common
bodily
illness
about
him
nor
of
the
recovery
from
any
he
looked
like
a
man
cut
away
from
the
stake
when
the
fire
has
overrunningly
wasted
all
the
limbs
without
consuming
them
or
taking
away
one
particle
from
their
compacted
aged
robustness
his
whole
high
broad
form
seemed
made
of
solid
bronze
and
shaped
in
an
unalterable
mould
like
cellinis
cast
perseus
threading
its
way
out
from
among
his
grey
hairs
and
continuing
right
down
one
side
of
his
tawny
scorched
face
and
neck
till
it
disappeared
in
his
clothing
you
saw
a
slender
rod
like
mark
lividly
whitish
it
resembled
that
perpendicular
seam
sometimes
made
in
the
straight
lofty
trunk
of
a
great
tree
when
the
upper
lightning
tearingly
darts
down
it
and
without
wrenching
a
single
twig
peels
and
grooves
out
the
bark
from
top
to
bottom
ere
running
off
into
the
soil
leaving
the
tree
still
greenly
alive
but
branded
whether
that
mark
was
born
with
him
or
whether
it
was
the
scar
left
by
some
desperate
wound
no
one
could
certainly
say
by
some
tacit
consent
throughout
the
voyage
little
or
no
allusion
was
made
to
it
especially
by
the
mates
but
once
tashtegos
senior
an
old
gay
head
indian
among
the
crew
superstitiously
asserted
that
not
till
he
was
full
forty
years
old
did
ahab
become
that
way
branded
and
then
it
came
upon
him
not
in
the
fury
of
any
mortal
fray
but
in
an
elemental
strife
at
sea
yet
this
wild
hint
seemed
inferentially
negatived
by
what
a
grey
manxman
insinuated
an
old
sepulchral
man
who
having
never
before
sailed
out
of
nantucket
had
never
ere
this
laid
eye
upon
wild
ahab
nevertheless
the
old
sea
traditions
the
immemorial
credulities
popularly
invested
this
old
manxman
with
preternatural
powers
of
discernment
so
that
no
white
sailor
seriously
contradicted
him
when
he
said
that
if
ever
captain
ahab
should
be
tranquilly
laid
out
which
might
hardly
come
to
pass
so
he
muttered
then
whoever
should
do
that
last
office
for
the
dead
would
find
a
birth
mark
on
him
from
crown
to
sole
so
powerfully
did
the
whole
grim
aspect
of
ahab
affect
me
and
the
livid
brand
which
streaked
it
that
for
the
first
few
moments
i
hardly
noted
that
not
a
little
of
this
overbearing
grimness
was
owing
to
the
barbaric
white
leg
upon
which
he
partly
stood
it
had
previously
come
to
me
that
this
ivory
leg
had
at
sea
been
fashioned
from
the
polished
bone
of
the
sperm
whales
jaw
aye
he
was
dismasted
off
japan
said
the
old
gay
head
indian
once
but
like
his
dismasted
craft
he
shipped
another
mast
without
coming
home
for
it
he
has
a
quiver
of
em
i
was
struck
with
the
singular
posture
he
maintained
upon
each
side
of
the
pequods
quarter
deck
and
pretty
close
to
the
mizen
shrouds
there
was
an
auger
hole
bored
about
half
an
inch
or
so
into
the
plank
his
bone
leg
steadied
in
that
hole
one
arm
elevated
and
holding
by
a
shroud
captain
ahab
stood
erect
looking
straight
out
beyond
the
ships
ever
pitching
prow
there
was
an
infinity
of
firmest
fortitude
a
determinate
unsurrenderable
wilfulness
in
the
fixed
and
fearless
forward
dedication
of
that
glance
not
a
word
he
spoke
nor
did
his
officers
say
aught
to
him
though
by
all
their
minutest
gestures
and
expressions
they
plainly
showed
the
uneasy
if
not
painful
consciousness
of
being
under
a
troubled
master
eye
and
not
only
that
but
moody
stricken
ahab
stood
before
them
with
a
crucifixion
in
his
face
in
all
the
nameless
regal
overbearing
dignity
of
some
mighty
woe
ere
long
from
his
first
visit
in
the
air
he
withdrew
into
his
cabin
but
after
that
morning
he
was
every
day
visible
to
the
crew
either
standing
in
his
pivot
hole
or
seated
upon
an
ivory
stool
he
had
or
heavily
walking
the
deck
as
the
sky
grew
less
gloomy
indeed
began
to
grow
a
little
genial
he
became
still
less
and
less
a
recluse
as
if
when
the
ship
had
sailed
from
home
nothing
but
the
dead
wintry
bleakness
of
the
sea
had
then
kept
him
so
secluded
and
by
and
by
it
came
to
pass
that
he
was
almost
continually
in
the
air
but
as
yet
for
all
that
he
said
or
perceptibly
did
on
the
at
last
sunny
deck
he
seemed
as
unnecessary
there
as
another
mast
but
the
pequod
was
only
making
a
passage
now
not
regularly
cruising
nearly
all
whaling
preparatives
needing
supervision
the
mates
were
fully
competent
to
so
that
there
was
little
or
nothing
out
of
himself
to
employ
or
excite
ahab
now
and
thus
chase
away
for
that
one
interval
the
clouds
that
layer
upon
layer
were
piled
upon
his
brow
as
ever
all
clouds
choose
the
loftiest
peaks
to
pile
themselves
upon
nevertheless
ere
long
the
warm
warbling
persuasiveness
of
the
pleasant
holiday
weather
we
came
to
seemed
gradually
to
charm
him
from
his
mood
for
as
when
the
red
cheeked
dancing
girls
april
and
may
trip
home
to
the
wintry
misanthropic
woods
even
the
barest
ruggedest
most
thunder
cloven
old
oak
will
at
least
send
forth
some
few
green
sprouts
to
welcome
such
glad
hearted
visitants
so
ahab
did
in
the
end
a
little
respond
to
the
playful
allurings
of
that
girlish
air
more
than
once
did
he
put
forth
the
faint
blossom
of
a
look
which
in
any
other
man
would
have
soon
flowered
out
in
a
smile
some
days
elapsed
and
ice
and
icebergs
all
astern
the
pequod
now
went
rolling
through
the
bright
quito
spring
which
at
sea
almost
perpetually
reigns
on
the
threshold
of
the
eternal
august
of
the
tropic
the
warmly
cool
clear
ringing
perfumed
overflowing
redundant
days
were
as
crystal
goblets
of
persian
sherbet
heaped
up
flaked
up
with
rose
water
snow
the
starred
and
stately
nights
seemed
haughty
dames
in
jewelled
velvets
nursing
at
home
in
lonely
pride
the
memory
of
their
absent
conquering
earls
the
golden
helmeted
suns
for
sleeping
man
twas
hard
to
choose
between
such
winsome
days
and
such
seducing
nights
but
all
the
witcheries
of
that
unwaning
weather
did
not
merely
lend
new
spells
and
potencies
to
the
outward
world
inward
they
turned
upon
the
soul
especially
when
the
still
mild
hours
of
eve
came
on
then
memory
shot
her
crystals
as
the
clear
ice
most
forms
of
noiseless
twilights
and
all
these
subtle
agencies
more
and
more
they
wrought
on
ahabs
texture
old
age
is
always
wakeful
as
if
the
longer
linked
with
life
the
less
man
has
to
do
with
aught
that
looks
like
death
among
sea
commanders
the
old
greybeards
will
oftenest
leave
their
berths
to
visit
the
night
cloaked
deck
it
was
so
with
ahab
only
that
now
of
late
he
seemed
so
much
to
live
in
the
open
air
that
truly
speaking
his
visits
were
more
to
the
cabin
than
from
the
cabin
to
the
planks
it
feels
like
going
down
into
ones
tomb
he
would
mutter
to
himself
for
an
old
captain
like
me
to
be
descending
this
narrow
scuttle
to
go
to
my
grave
dug
berth
so
almost
every
twenty
four
hours
when
the
watches
of
the
night
were
set
and
the
band
on
deck
sentinelled
the
slumbers
of
the
band
below
and
when
if
a
rope
was
to
be
hauled
upon
the
forecastle
the
sailors
flung
it
not
rudely
down
as
by
day
but
with
some
cautiousness
dropt
it
to
its
place
for
fear
of
disturbing
their
slumbering
shipmates
when
this
sort
of
steady
quietude
would
begin
to
prevail
habitually
the
silent
steersman
would
watch
the
cabin
scuttle
and
ere
long
the
old
man
would
emerge
griping
at
the
iron
banister
to
help
his
crippled
way
some
considerating
touch
of
humanity
was
in
him
for
at
times
like
these
he
usually
abstained
from
patrolling
the
quarter
deck
because
to
his
wearied
mates
seeking
repose
within
six
inches
of
his
ivory
heel
such
would
have
been
the
reverberating
crack
and
din
of
that
bony
step
that
their
dreams
would
have
been
of
the
crunching
teeth
of
sharks
but
once
the
mood
was
on
him
too
deep
for
common
regardings
and
as
with
heavy
lumber
like
pace
he
was
measuring
the
ship
from
taffrail
to
mainmast
stubb
the
odd
second
mate
came
up
from
below
and
with
a
certain
unassured
deprecating
humorousness
hinted
that
if
captain
ahab
was
pleased
to
walk
the
planks
then
no
one
could
say
nay
but
there
might
be
some
way
of
muffling
the
noise
hinting
something
indistinctly
and
hesitatingly
about
a
globe
of
tow
and
the
insertion
into
it
of
the
ivory
heel
ah
stubb
thou
didst
not
know
ahab
then
am
i
a
cannon
ball
stubb
said
ahab
that
thou
wouldst
wad
me
that
fashion
but
go
thy
ways
i
had
forgot
below
to
thy
nightly
grave
where
such
as
ye
sleep
between
shrouds
to
use
ye
to
the
filling
one
at
last
down
dog
and
kennel
starting
at
the
unforeseen
concluding
exclamation
of
the
so
suddenly
scornful
old
man
stubb
was
speechless
a
moment
then
said
excitedly
i
am
not
used
to
be
spoken
to
that
way
sir
i
do
but
less
than
half
like
it
sir
avast
gritted
ahab
between
his
set
teeth
and
violently
moving
away
as
if
to
avoid
some
passionate
temptation
no
sir
not
yet
said
stubb
emboldened
i
will
not
tamely
be
called
a
dog
sir
then
be
called
ten
times
a
donkey
and
a
mule
and
an
ass
and
begone
or
ill
clear
the
world
of
thee
as
he
said
this
ahab
advanced
upon
him
with
such
overbearing
terrors
in
his
aspect
that
stubb
involuntarily
retreated
i
was
never
served
so
before
without
giving
a
hard
blow
for
it
muttered
stubb
as
he
found
himself
descending
the
cabin
scuttle
its
very
queer
stop
stubb
somehow
now
i
dont
well
know
whether
to
go
back
and
strike
him
or
whats
that
down
here
on
my
knees
and
pray
for
him
yes
that
was
the
thought
coming
up
in
me
but
it
would
be
the
first
time
i
ever
did
pray
its
queer
very
queer
and
hes
queer
too
aye
take
him
fore
and
aft
hes
about
the
queerest
old
man
stubb
ever
sailed
with
how
he
flashed
at
me
his
eyes
like
powder
pans
is
he
mad
anyway
theres
something
on
his
mind
as
sure
as
there
must
be
something
on
a
deck
when
it
cracks
he
aint
in
his
bed
now
either
more
than
three
hours
out
of
the
twenty
four
and
he
dont
sleep
then
didnt
that
dough
boy
the
steward
tell
me
that
of
a
morning
he
always
finds
the
old
mans
hammock
clothes
all
rumpled
and
tumbled
and
the
sheets
down
at
the
foot
and
the
coverlid
almost
tied
into
knots
and
the
pillow
a
sort
of
frightful
hot
as
though
a
baked
brick
had
been
on
it
a
hot
old
man
i
guess
hes
got
what
some
folks
ashore
call
a
conscience
its
a
kind
of
tic
dolly
row
they
say
worse
nor
a
toothache
well
well
i
dont
know
what
it
is
but
the
lord
keep
me
from
catching
it
hes
full
of
riddles
i
wonder
what
he
goes
into
the
after
hold
for
every
night
as
dough
boy
tells
me
he
suspects
whats
that
for
i
should
like
to
know
whos
made
appointments
with
him
in
the
hold
aint
that
queer
now
but
theres
no
telling
its
the
old
game
here
goes
for
a
snooze
damn
me
its
worth
a
fellows
while
to
be
born
into
the
world
if
only
to
fall
right
asleep
and
now
that
i
think
of
it
thats
about
the
first
thing
babies
do
and
thats
a
sort
of
queer
too
damn
me
but
all
things
are
queer
come
to
think
of
em
but
thats
against
my
principles
think
not
is
my
eleventh
commandment
and
sleep
when
you
can
is
my
twelfth
so
here
goes
again
but
hows
that
didnt
he
call
me
a
dog
blazes
he
called
me
ten
times
a
donkey
and
piled
a
lot
of
jackasses
on
top
of
that
he
might
as
well
have
kicked
me
and
done
with
it
maybe
he
did
kick
me
and
i
didnt
observe
it
i
was
so
taken
all
aback
with
his
brow
somehow
it
flashed
like
a
bleached
bone
what
the
devils
the
matter
with
me
i
dont
stand
right
on
my
legs
coming
afoul
of
that
old
man
has
a
sort
of
turned
me
wrong
side
out
by
the
lord
i
must
have
been
dreaming
though
how
how
how
but
the
only
ways
to
stash
it
so
here
goes
to
hammock
again
and
in
the
morning
ill
see
how
this
plaguey
juggling
thinks
over
by
day
light
when
stubb
had
departed
ahab
stood
for
a
while
leaning
over
the
bulwarks
and
then
as
had
been
usual
with
him
of
late
calling
a
sailor
of
the
watch
he
sent
him
below
for
his
ivory
stool
and
also
his
pipe
lighting
the
pipe
at
the
binnacle
lamp
and
planting
the
stool
on
the
weather
side
of
the
deck
he
sat
and
smoked
in
old
norse
times
the
thrones
of
the
sea
loving
danish
kings
were
fabricated
saith
tradition
of
the
tusks
of
the
narwhale
how
could
one
look
at
ahab
then
seated
on
that
tripod
of
bones
without
bethinking
him
of
the
royalty
it
symbolized
for
a
khan
of
the
plank
and
a
king
of
the
sea
and
a
great
lord
of
leviathans
was
ahab
some
moments
passed
during
which
the
thick
vapor
came
from
his
mouth
in
quick
and
constant
puffs
which
blew
back
again
into
his
face
how
now
he
soliloquized
at
last
withdrawing
the
tube
this
smoking
no
longer
soothes
oh
my
pipe
hard
must
it
go
with
me
if
thy
charm
be
gone
here
have
i
been
unconsciously
toiling
not
pleasuring
aye
and
ignorantly
smoking
to
windward
all
the
while
to
windward
and
with
such
nervous
whiffs
as
if
like
the
dying
whale
my
final
jets
were
the
strongest
and
fullest
of
trouble
what
business
have
i
with
this
pipe
this
thing
that
is
meant
for
sereneness
to
send
up
mild
white
vapors
among
mild
white
hairs
not
among
torn
iron
grey
locks
like
mine
ill
smoke
no
more
he
tossed
the
still
lighted
pipe
into
the
sea
the
fire
hissed
in
the
waves
the
same
instant
the
ship
shot
by
the
bubble
the
sinking
pipe
made
with
slouched
hat
ahab
lurchingly
paced
the
planks
next
morning
stubb
accosted
flask
such
a
queer
dream
king
post
i
never
had
you
know
the
old
mans
ivory
leg
well
i
dreamed
he
kicked
me
with
it
and
when
i
tried
to
kick
back
upon
my
soul
my
little
man
i
kicked
my
leg
right
off
and
then
presto
ahab
seemed
a
pyramid
and
i
like
a
blazing
fool
kept
kicking
at
it
but
what
was
still
more
curious
flask
you
know
how
curious
all
dreams
are
through
all
this
rage
that
i
was
in
i
somehow
seemed
to
be
thinking
to
myself
that
after
all
it
was
not
much
of
an
insult
that
kick
from
ahab
why
thinks
iwhats
the
row
its
not
a
real
leg
only
a
false
leg
and
theres
a
mighty
difference
between
a
living
thump
and
a
dead
thump
thats
what
makes
a
blow
from
the
hand
flask
fifty
times
more
savage
to
bear
than
a
blow
from
a
cane
the
living
member
that
makes
the
living
insult
my
little
man
and
thinks
i
to
myself
all
the
while
mind
while
i
was
stubbing
my
silly
toes
against
that
cursed
pyramid
so
confoundedly
contradictory
was
it
all
all
the
while
i
say
i
was
thinking
to
myself
whats
his
leg
now
but
a
cane
a
whalebone
cane
yes
thinks
iit
was
only
a
playful
cudgelling
in
fact
only
a
whaleboning
that
he
gave
me
not
a
base
kick
besides
thinks
ilook
at
it
once
why
the
end
of
it
the
foot
part
what
a
small
sort
of
end
it
is
whereas
if
a
broad
footed
farmer
kicked
me
theres
a
devilish
broad
insult
but
this
insult
is
whittled
down
to
a
point
only
but
now
comes
the
greatest
joke
of
the
dream
flask
while
i
was
battering
away
at
the
pyramid
a
sort
of
badger
haired
old
merman
with
a
hump
on
his
back
takes
me
by
the
shoulders
and
slews
me
round
what
are
you
bout
says
he
slid
man
but
i
was
frightened
such
a
phiz
but
somehow
next
moment
i
was
over
the
fright
what
am
i
about
says
i
at
last
and
what
business
is
that
of
yours
i
should
like
to
know
mr
humpback
do
you
want
a
kick
by
the
lord
flask
i
had
no
sooner
said
that
than
he
turned
round
his
stern
to
me
bent
over
and
dragging
up
a
lot
of
seaweed
he
had
for
a
clout
what
do
you
think
i
saw
why
thunder

time
a
sort
of
eating
of
his

gums
like
a
chimney
hag
seeing
he
wasnt
going
to
stop
saying
over
his
wise
stubb
wise
stubb
i
thought
i
might
as
well
fall
to
kicking
the
pyramid
again
but
i
had
only
just
lifted
my
foot
for
it
when
he
roared
out
stop
that
kicking
halloa
says
iwhats
the
matter
now
old

insult
captain
ahab
kicked

did
says
i

very
good
says
he
he
used
his

and
with
a
beautiful

stubb
its
an
honor
i
consider
it
an
honor
listen
wise
stubb
in
old
england
the
greatest
lords
think
it
great
glory
to
be
slapped
by
a
queen
and
made
garter
knights
of
but
be
your
boast
stubb
that
ye
were
kicked
by
old
ahab
and
made
a
wise
man
of
remember
what
i
say
be
kicked
by
him
account
his
kicks
honors
and
on
no
account
kick
back
for
you
cant
help
yourself
wise
stubb
dont
you
see
that
pyramid
with
that
he
all
of
a
sudden
seemed
somehow
in
some
queer
fashion
to
swim
off
into
the
air
i
snored
rolled
over
and
there
i
was
in
my
hammock
now
what
do
you
think
of
that
dream
flask
i
dont
know
it
seems
a
sort
of
foolish
to
me
tho
may
be
may
be
but
its
made
a
wise
man
of
me
flask
dye
see
ahab
standing
there
sideways
looking
over
the
stern
well
the
best
thing
you
can
do
flask
is
to
let
that
old
man
alone
never
speak
to
him
whatever
he
says
halloa
whats
that
he
shouts
hark
mast
head
there
look
sharp
all
of
ye
there
are
whales
hereabouts
if
ye
see
a
white
one
split
your
lungs
for
him
what
dye
think
of
that
now
flask
aint
there
a
small
drop
of
something
queer
about
that
eh
a
white
whale
did
ye
mark
that
man
look
ye
theres
something
special
in
the
wind
stand
by
for
it
flask
ahab
has
that
thats
bloody
on
his
mind
but
mum
he
comes
this
way
already
we
are
boldly
launched
upon
the
deep
but
soon
we
shall
be
lost
in
its
unshored
harborless
immensities
ere
that
come
to
pass
ere
the
pequods
weedy
hull
rolls
side
by
side
with
the
barnacled
hulls
of
the
leviathan
at
the
outset
it
is
but
well
to
attend
to
a
matter
almost
indispensable
to
a
thorough
appreciative
understanding
of
the
more
special
leviathanic
revelations
and
allusions
of
all
sorts
which
are
to
follow
it
is
some
systematized
exhibition
of
the
whale
in
his
broad
genera
that
i
would
now
fain
put
before
you
yet
is
it
no
easy
task
the
classification
of
the
constituents
of
a
chaos
nothing
less
is
here
essayed
listen
to
what
the
best
and
latest
authorities
have
laid
down
no
branch
of
zoology
is
so
much
involved
as
that
which
is
entitled
cetology
says
captain
scoresby
a
d
it
is
not
my
intention
were
it
in
my
power
to
enter
into
the
inquiry
as
to
the
true
method
of
dividing
the
cetacea
into
groups
sperm

says

to
pursue

impenetrable

covering
our

a

strewn
with

all
these
incomplete
indications
but
serve
to
torture

naturalists
thus
speak
of
the

the
great

and

those
lights
of
zoology
and

nevertheless
though
of
real
knowledge
there
be
little
yet
of
books
there
are
a
plenty
and
so
in
some
small
degree
with
cetology
or
the
science
of
whales
many
are
the
men
small
and
great
old
and
new
landsmen
and
seamen
who
have
at
large
or
in

written
of

to

all
these
have
written
the
above
cited
extracts
will

of
the
names
in
this
list
of
whale
authors
only
those
following
owen
ever
saw
living
whales
and
but
one
of
them
was
a
real
professional
harpooneer
and
whaleman
i
mean
captain
scoresby
on
the
separate
subject
of
the
greenland
or
right
whale
he
is
the
best
existing
authority
but
scoresby
knew
nothing
and
says
nothing
of
the
great
sperm
whale
compared
with
which
the
greenland
whale
is
almost
unworthy
mentioning
and
here
be
it
said
that
the
greenland
whale
is
an
usurper
upon
the
throne
of
the
seas
he
is
not
even
by
any
means
the
largest
of
the
whales
yet
owing
to
the
long
priority
of
his
claims
and
the
profound
ignorance
which
till
some
seventy
years
back
invested
the
then
fabulous
and
utterly
unknown
sperm
whale
and
which
ignorance
to
this
present
day
still
reigns
in
all
but
some
few
scientific
retreats
and
whale
ports
this
usurpation
has
been
every
way
complete
reference
to
nearly
all
the
leviathanic
allusions
in
the
great
poets
of
past
days
will
satisfy
you
that
the
greenland
whale
without
one
rival
was
to
them
the
monarch
of
the
seas
but
the
time
has
at
last
come
for
a
new
proclamation
this
is
charing
cross
hear
ye
good
people
all
the
greenland
whale
is
deposed
the
great
sperm
whale
now
reigneth
there
are
only
two
books
in
being
which
at
all
pretend
to
put
the
living
sperm
whale
before
you
and
at
the
same
time
in
the
remotest
degree
succeed
in
the
attempt
those
books
are
beales
and
bennetts
both
in
their
time
surgeons
to
english
south
sea
whale
ships
and
both
exact
and
reliable
men
the
original
matter
touching
the
sperm
whale
to
be
found
in
their
volumes
is
necessarily
small
but
so
far
as
it
goes
it
is
of
excellent
quality
though
mostly
confined
to
scientific
description
as
yet
however
the
sperm
whale
scientific
or
poetic
lives
not
complete
in
any
literature
far
above
all
other
hunted
whales
his
is
an
unwritten
life
now
the
various
species
of
whales
need
some
sort
of
popular
comprehensive
classification
if
only
an
easy
outline
one
for
the
present
hereafter
to
be
filled
in
all
its
departments
by
subsequent
laborers
as
no
better
man
advances
to
take
this
matter
in
hand
i
hereupon
offer
my
own
poor
endeavors
i
promise
nothing
complete
because
any
human
thing
supposed
to
be
complete
must
for
that
very
reason
infallibly
be
faulty
i
shall
not
pretend
to
a
minute
anatomical
description
of
the
various
species
or
in
this
place
at
least
to
much
of
any
description
my
object
here
is
simply
to
project
the
draught
of
a
systematization
of
cetology
i
am
the
architect
not
the
builder
but
it
is
a
ponderous
task
no
ordinary
letter
sorter
in
the
post
office
is
equal
to
it
to
grope
down
into
the
bottom
of
the
sea
after
them
to
have
ones
hands
among
the
unspeakable
foundations
ribs
and
very
pelvis
of
the
world
this
is
a
fearful
thing
what
am
i
that
i
should
essay
to
hook
the
nose
of
this
leviathan
the
awful
tauntings
in
job
might
well
appal
me
will
he
the
leviathan
make
a
covenant
with
thee
behold
the
hope
of
him
is
vain
but
i
have
swam
through
libraries
and
sailed
through
oceans
i
have
had
to
do
with
whales
with
these
visible
hands
i
am
in
earnest
and
i
will
try
there
are
some
preliminaries
to
settle
first
the
uncertain
unsettled
condition
of
this
science
of
cetology
is
in
the
very
vestibule
attested
by
the
fact
that
in
some
quarters
it
still
remains
a
moot
point
whether
a
whale
be
a
fish
in
his
system
of
nature
a
d
linnaeus
declares
i
hereby
separate
the
whales
from
the
fish
but
of
my
own
knowledge
i
know
that
down
to
the
year
sharks
and
shad
alewives
and
herring
against
linnaeuss
express
edict
were
still
found
dividing
the
possession
of
the
same
seas
with
the
leviathan
the
grounds
upon
which
linnaeus
would
fain
have
banished
the
whales
from
the
waters
he
states
as
follows
on
account
of
their
warm
bilocular
heart
their
lungs
their
movable
eyelids
their
hollow
ears
penem
intrantem
feminam
mammis
lactantem
and
finally
ex
lege
naturae
jure
meritoque
i
submitted
all
this
to
my
friends
simeon
macey
and
charley
coffin
of
nantucket
both
messmates
of
mine
in
a
certain
voyage
and
they
united
in
the
opinion
that
the
reasons
set
forth
were
altogether
insufficient
charley
profanely
hinted
they
were
humbug
be
it
known
that
waiving
all
argument
i
take
the
good
old
fashioned
ground
that
the
whale
is
a
fish
and
call
upon
holy
jonah
to
back
me
this
fundamental
thing
settled
the
next
point
is
in
what
internal
respect
does
the
whale
differ
from
other
fish
above
linnaeus
has
given
you
those
items
but
in
brief
they
are
these
lungs
and
warm
blood
whereas
all
other
fish
are
lungless
and
cold
blooded
next
how
shall
we
define
the
whale
by
his
obvious
externals
so
as
conspicuously
to
label
him
for
all
time
to
come
to
be
short
then
a
whale
is
a
spouting
fish
with
a
horizontal
tail
there
you
have
him
however
contracted
that
definition
is
the
result
of
expanded
meditation
a
walrus
spouts
much
like
a
whale
but
the
walrus
is
not
a
fish
because
he
is
amphibious
but
the
last
term
of
the
definition
is
still
more
cogent
as
coupled
with
the
first
almost
any
one
must
have
noticed
that
all
the
fish
familiar
to
landsmen
have
not
a
flat
but
a
vertical
or
up
and
down
tail
whereas
among
spouting
fish
the
tail
though
it
may
be
similarly
shaped
invariably
assumes
a
horizontal
position
by
the
above
definition
of
what
a
whale
is
i
do
by
no
means
exclude
from
the
leviathanic
brotherhood
any
sea
creature
hitherto
identified
with
the
whale
by
the
best
informed
nantucketers
nor
on
the
other
hand
link
with
it
any
fish
hitherto
authoritatively
regarded
as
alien
hence
all
the
smaller
spouting
and
horizontal
tailed
fish
must
be
included
in
this
ground
plan
of
cetology
now
then
come
the
grand
divisions
of
the
entire
whale
host
first
according
to
magnitude
i
divide
the
whales
into
three
primary
books
subdivisible
into
chapters
and
these
shall
comprehend
them
all
both
small
and
large
i
the

the

this
whale
among
the

of
old
vaguely
known
as
the
trumpa
whale
and
the
physeter
whale
and
the
anvil
headed
whale
is
the
present
cachalot
of
the
french
and
the
pottsfich
of
the
germans
and
the
macrocephalus
of
the
long
words
he
is
without
doubt
the
largest
inhabitant
of
the
globe
the
most
formidable
of
all
whales
to
encounter
the
most
majestic
in
aspect
and
lastly
by
far
the
most
valuable
in
commerce
he
being
the
only
creature
from
which
that
valuable
substance
spermaceti
is
obtained
all
his
peculiarities
will
in
many
other
places
be
enlarged
upon
it
is
chiefly
with
his
name
that
i
now
have
to
do
philologically
considered
it
is
absurd
some
centuries
ago
when
the
sperm
whale
was
almost
wholly
unknown
in
his
own
proper
individuality
and
when
his
oil
was
only
accidentally
obtained
from
the
stranded
fish
in
those
days
spermaceti
it
would
seem
was
popularly
supposed
to
be
derived
from
a
creature
identical
with
the
one
then
known
in
england
as
the
greenland
or
right
whale
it
was
the
idea
also
that
this
same
spermaceti
was
that
quickening
humor
of
the
greenland
whale
which
the
first
syllable
of
the
word
literally
expresses
in
those
times
also
spermaceti
was
exceedingly
scarce
not
being
used
for
light
but
only
as
an
ointment
and
medicament
it
was
only
to
be
had
from
the
druggists
as
you
nowadays
buy
an
ounce
of
rhubarb
when
as
i
opine
in
the
course
of
time
the
true
nature
of
spermaceti
became
known
its
original
name
was
still
retained
by
the
dealers
no
doubt
to
enhance
its
value
by
a
notion
so
strangely
significant
of
its
scarcity
and
so
the
appellation
must
at
last
have
come
to
be
bestowed
upon
the
whale
from
which
this
spermaceti
was
really
derived
book

right
whale
in
one
respect
this
is
the
most
venerable
of
the
leviathans
being
the
one
first
regularly
hunted
by
man
it
yields
the
article
commonly
known
as
whalebone
or
baleen
and
the
oil
specially
known
as
whale
oil
an
inferior
article
in
commerce
among
the
fishermen
he
is
indiscriminately
designated
by
all
the
following
titles
the
whale
the
greenland
whale
the
black
whale
the
great
whale
the
true
whale
the
right
whale
there
is
a
deal
of
obscurity
concerning
the
identity
of
the
species
thus
multitudinously
baptized
what
then
is
the
whale
which
i
include
in
the
second
species
of
my
folios
it
is
the
great
mysticetus
of
the
english
naturalists
the
greenland
whale
of
the
english
whalemen
the
baliene
ordinaire
of
the
french
whalemen
the
growlands
walfish
of
the
swedes
it
is
the
whale
which
for
more
than
two
centuries
past
has
been
hunted
by
the
dutch
and
english
in
the
arctic
seas
it
is
the
whale
which
the
american
fishermen
have
long
pursued
in
the
indian
ocean
on
the
brazil
banks
on
the
nor
west
coast
and
various
other
parts
of
the
world
designated
by
them
right
whale
cruising
grounds
some
pretend
to
see
a
difference
between
the
greenland
whale
of
the
english
and
the
right
whale
of
the
americans
but
they
precisely
agree
in
all
their
grand
features
nor
has
there
yet
been
presented
a
single
determinate
fact
upon
which
to
ground
a
radical
distinction
it
is
by
endless
subdivisions
based
upon
the
most
inconclusive
differences
that
some
departments
of
natural
history
become
so
repellingly
intricate
the
right

will
be
elsewhere
treated
of
at
some
length
with
reference
to
elucidating
the

fin
back
under
this
head
i
reckon
a
monster
which
by
the
various
names
of
fin
back
tall
spout
and
long
john
has
been
seen
almost
in
every
sea
and
is
commonly
the
whale
whose
distant
jet
is
so
often
descried
by
passengers
crossing
the
atlantic
in
the
new
york
packet
tracks
in
the
length
he
attains
and
in
his
baleen
the
fin
back
resembles
the
right
whale
but
is
of
a
less
portly
girth
and
a
lighter
color
approaching
to
olive
his
great
lips
present
a
cable
like
aspect
formed
by
the
intertwisting
slanting
folds
of
large
wrinkles
his
grand
distinguishing
feature
the
fin
from
which
he
derives
his
name
is
often
a
conspicuous
object
this
fin
is
some
three
or
four
feet
long
growing
vertically
from
the
hinder
part
of
the
back
of
an
angular
shape
and
with
a
very
sharp
pointed
end
even
if
not
the
slightest
other
part
of

visible
this
isolated
fin
will
at
times
be
seen
plainly
projecting
from
the
surface
when
the
sea
is
moderately
calm
and
slightly
marked
with
spherical
ripples
and
this
gnomon
like
fin
stands
up
and
casts
shadows
upon
the
wrinkled
surface
it
may
well
be
supposed
that
the
watery
circle
surrounding
it
somewhat
resembles
a
dial
with
its
style
and
wavy
hour
lines
graved
on
it
on
that
ahaz
dial
the
shadow
often
goes
back
the
fin
back
is
not
gregarious
he
seems
a
whale
hater
as
some
men
are
man
haters
very
shy
always
going
solitary
unexpectedly
rising
to
the
surface
in
the
remotest
and
most
sullen
waters
his
straight
and
single
lofty
jet
rising
like
a
tall
misanthropic
spear
upon
a
barren
plain
gifted
with
such
wondrous
power
and
velocity
in
swimming
as
to
defy
all
present
pursuit
from
man
this
leviathan
seems
the
banished
and
unconquerable
cain
of
his
race
bearing
for
his
mark
that
style
upon
his
back
from
having
the
baleen
in
his
mouth
the
fin
back
is
sometimes
included
with
the
right
whale
among
a
theoretic
species
denominated
whalebone
whales
that
is
whales
with
baleen
of
these
so
called
whalebone
whales
there
would
seem
to
be
several
varieties
most
of
which
however
are
little
known
broad
nosed
whales
and
beaked
whales
pike
headed
whales
bunched
whales
under
jawed
whales
and
rostrated
whales
are
the
fishermens
names
for
a
few
sorts
in
connexion
with
this
appellative
of
whalebone
whales
it
is
of
great
importance
to
mention
that
however
such
a
nomenclature
may
be
convenient
in
facilitating
allusions
to
some
kind
of
whales
yet
it
is
in
vain
to
attempt
a
clear
classification
of
the
leviathan
founded
upon
either
his
baleen
or
hump
or
fin
or
teeth
notwithstanding
that
those
marked
parts
or
features
very
obviously
seem
better
adapted
to
afford
the
basis
for
a
regular
system
of
cetology
than
any
other
detached
bodily
distinctions
which
the
whale
in
his
kinds
presents
how
then
the
baleen
hump
back
fin
and
teeth
these
are
things
whose
peculiarities
are
indiscriminately
dispersed
among
all
sorts
of
whales
without
any
regard
to
what
may
be
the
nature
of
their
structure
in
other
and
more
essential
particulars
thus
the
sperm
whale
and
the
humpbacked
whale
each
has
a
hump
but
there
the
similitude
ceases
then
this
same
humpbacked
whale
and
the
greenland
whale
each
of
these
has
baleen
but
there
again
the
similitude
ceases
and
it
is
just
the
same
with
the
other
parts
above
mentioned
in
various
sorts
of
whales
they
form
such
irregular
combinations
or
in
the
case
of
any
one
of
them
detached
such
an
irregular
isolation
as
utterly
to
defy
all
general
methodization
formed
upon
such
a
basis
on
this
rock
every
one
of
the
whale
naturalists
has
split
but
it
may
possibly
be
conceived
that
in
the
internal
parts
of
the
whale
in
his
anatomy
there
at
least
we
shall
be
able
to
hit
the
right
classification
nay
what
thing
for
example
is
there
in
the
greenland
whales
anatomy
more
striking
than
his
baleen
yet
we
have
seen
that
by
his
baleen
it
is
impossible
correctly
to
classify
the
greenland
whale
and
if
you
descend
into
the
bowels
of
the
various
leviathans
why
there
you
will
not
find
distinctions
a
fiftieth
part
as
available
to
the
systematizer
as
those
external
ones
already
enumerated
what
then
remains
nothing
but
to
take
hold
of
the
whales
bodily
in
their
entire
liberal
volume
and
boldly
sort
them
that
way
and
this
is
the
bibliographical
system
here
adopted
and
it
is
the
only
one
that
can
possibly
succeed
for
it
alone

practicable

not
sufficiently
distinguish
him

also
has
a
hump

valuable

is
so
well
known
a

i

names
for

for
generally
they
are
the
best
where
any
name
happens
to
be
vague
or
inexpressive
i
shall
say
so
and
suggest
another
i
do
so
now
touching
the
black
fish
so
called
because
blackness
is
the
rule
among
almost
all
whales
so
call
him
the
hyena
whale
if
you
please
his
voracity
is
well
known
and
from
the
circumstance
that
the
inner
angles
of
his
lips
are
curved
upwards
he
carries
an
everlasting
mephistophelean
grin
on
his
face
this
whale
averages
some
sixteen
or
eighteen
feet
in
length
he
is
found
in
almost
all
latitudes
he
has
a
peculiar
way
of
showing
his
dorsal
hooked
fin
in
swimming
which
looks
something
like
a
roman
nose
when
not
more
profitably
employed
the
sperm
whale
hunters
sometimes
capture
the
hyena
whale
to
keep
up
the
supply
of
cheap
oil
for
domestic
employment
as
some
frugal
housekeepers
in
the
absence
of
company
and
quite
alone
by
themselves
burn
unsavory
tallow
instead
of
odorous
wax

thin

narwhale
that
is
nostril
whale
another
instance
of
a
curiously
named
whale
so
named
i
suppose
from
his
peculiar
horn
being
originally
mistaken
for
a
peaked
nose
the
creature
is
some
sixteen
feet
in
length
while
its
horn
averages
five
feet
though
some
exceed
ten
and
even
attain
to
fifteen
feet
strictly
speaking
this
horn
is
but
a
lengthened
tusk
growing
out
from
the
jaw
in
a
line
a
little
depressed
from
the
horizontal
but
it
is
only
found
on
the
sinister
side
which
has
an
ill
effect
giving
its
owner
something
analogous
to
the
aspect
of
a
clumsy
left
handed
man
what
precise
purpose
this
ivory
horn
or
lance
answers
it
would
be
hard
to
say
it
does
not
seemed
to
be
used
like
the
blade
of
the
sword
fish
and
bill
fish
though
some
sailors
tell
me
that
the
narwhale
employs
it
for
a
rake
in
turning
over
the
bottom
of
the
sea
for
food
charley
coffin
said
it
was
used
for
an
ice
piercer
for
the
narwhale
rising
to
the
surface
of
the
polar
sea
and
finding
it
sheeted
with
ice
thrusts
his
horn
up
and
so
breaks
through
but
you
cannot
prove
either
of
these
surmises
to
be
correct
my
own
opinion
is
that
however
this
one
sided
horn
may
really
be
used
by
the
narwhale
however
that
may
be
it
would
certainly
be
very
convenient
to
him
for
a
folder
in
reading
pamphlets
the
narwhale
i
have
heard
called
the
tusked
whale
the
horned
whale
and
the
unicorn
whale
he
is
certainly
a
curious
example
of
the
unicornism
to
be
found
in
almost
every
kingdom
of
animated
nature
from
certain
cloistered
old
authors
i
have
gathered
that
this
same
sea
unicorns
horn
was
in
ancient
days
regarded
as
the
great
antidote
against
poison
and
as
such
preparations
of
it
brought
immense
prices
it
was
also
distilled
to
a
volatile
salts
for
fainting
ladies
the
same
way
that
the
horns
of
the
male
deer
are
manufactured
into
hartshorn
originally
it
was
in
itself
accounted
an
object
of
great
curiosity

for

hung
in

nothing
at
all
to
the
professed
naturalist
from
what
i
have
seen
of
him
at
a
distance
i
should
say
that
he
was
about
the
bigness
of
a
grampus
he
is
very
savage
a
sort
of

fish
he

might
be
taken

he
mounts

and
as

swims
he
works
his
passage
by
flogging
him
as
some

get
along

by
a
similar
process
still
less

seem

this

the
name
is
of

bestowal
for
there
are
more
than
one
sort
of
porpoises
and
something
must
be
done
to
distinguish
them
i
call
them
thus
because

always
swims
in
hilarious
shoals
which
upon
the
broad
sea
keep
tossing
themselves
to

like

they
are
accounted

yourself

then
heaven
help
ye
the

gamesomeness
is

yield
you

the
fine

extracted
from

is

valuable
it

porpoise
the
largest
kind
of

so
far
as
it

known
the
only
english
name
by
which
he
has
hitherto
been
designated
is
that
of
the
fishers
right
whale
porpoise
from
the
circumstance
that
he
is
chiefly
found
in
the
vicinity
of
that
folio
in
shape
he
differs
in
some
degree
from
the
huzza
porpoise
being
of
a
less
rotund
and
jolly
girth
indeed
he
is
of
quite
a
neat
and
gentleman
like
figure
he
has
no
fins
on
his
back
most
other
porpoises
have
he
has
a
lovely
tail
and
sentimental
indian
eyes
of
a
hazel
hue
but
his
mealy
mouth
spoils
all
though
his
entire
back
down
to
his
side
fins
is
of
a
deep
sable
yet
a
boundary
line
distinct
as
the
mark
in

called

bright
waist
that
line
streaks
him
from
stem
to
stern
with
two
separate
colors
black
above
and
white
below
the
white
comprises
part
of
his
head
and
the
whole
of
his
mouth
which
makes
him
look
as
if
he
had
just
escaped
from
a
felonious
visit
to
a
meal
bag
a
most
mean
and
mealy
aspect
his
oil
is
much
like
that
of

this
system
does
not
proceed
inasmuch
as
the
porpoise
is
the
smallest

above
you
have
all

there
are
a
rabble
of
uncertain
fugitive
half
fabulous
whales
which
as
an
american
whaleman
i
know
by
reputation
but
not
personally
i
shall
enumerate
them
by

may
complete

there
might
be
quoted
other
lists
of
uncertain
whales
blessed
with
all
manner
of

names
but
i
omit
them
as
altogether
obsolete
and
can
hardly
help
suspecting
them
for
mere
sounds
full
of
leviathanism
but
signifying
nothing
finally
it
was
stated
at
the
outset
that
this
system
would
not
be
here
and
at
once
perfected
you
cannot
but
plainly
see
that
i
have
kept
my
word
but
i
now
leave
my
cetological
system
standing
thus
unfinished
even
as
the
great
cathedral
of
cologne
was
left
with
the
crane
still
standing
upon
the
top
of
the
uncompleted
tower
for
small
erections
may
be
finished
by
their
first
architects
grand
ones
true
ones
ever
leave
the
copestone
to
posterity
god
keep
me
from
ever
completing
anything
this
whole
book
is
but
a
draught
nay
but
the
draught
of
a
draught
oh
time
strength
cash
and
patience
i
am
aware
that
down
to
the
present
time
the
fish
styled
lamatins
and
dugongs
pig
fish
and
sow
fish
of
the
coffins
of
nantucket
are
included
by
many
naturalists
among
the
whales
but
as
these
pig
fish
are
a
nosy
contemptible
set
mostly
lurking
in
the
mouths
of
rivers
and
feeding
on
wet
hay
and
especially
as
they
do
not
spout
i
deny
their
credentials
as
whales
and
have
presented
them
with
their
passports
to
quit
the
kingdom
of
cetology
why
this
book
of
whales
is
not
denominated
the
quarto
is
very
plain
because
while
the
whales
of
this
order
though
smaller
than
those
of
the
former
order
nevertheless
retain
a
proportionate
likeness
to
them
in
figure
yet
the
bookbinders
quarto
volume
in
its
diminished
form
does
not
preserve
the
shape
of
the
folio
volume
but
the
octavo
volume
does
concerning
the
officers
of
the
whale
craft
this
seems
as
good
a
place
as
any
to
set
down
a
little
domestic
peculiarity
on
ship
board
arising
from
the
existence
of
the
harpooneer
class
of
officers
a
class
unknown
of
course
in
any
other
marine
than
the
whale
fleet
the
large
importance
attached
to
the
harpooneers
vocation
is
evinced
by
the
fact
that
originally
in
the
old
dutch
fishery
two
centuries
and
more
ago
the
command
of
a
whale
ship
was
not
wholly
lodged
in
the
person
now
called
the
captain
but
was
divided
between
him
and
an
officer
called
the
specksynder
literally
this
word
means
fat
cutter
usage
however
in
time
made
it
equivalent
to
chief
harpooneer
in
those
days
the
captains
authority
was
restricted
to
the
navigation
and
general
management
of
the
vessel
while
over
the
whale
hunting
department
and
all
its
concerns
the
specksynder
or
chief
harpooneer
reigned
supreme
in
the
british
greenland
fishery
under
the
corrupted
title
of
specksioneer
this
old
dutch
official
is
still
retained
but
his
former
dignity
is
sadly
abridged
at
present
he
ranks
simply
as
senior
harpooneer
and
as
such
is
but
one
of
the
captains
more
inferior
subalterns
nevertheless
as
upon
the
good
conduct
of
the
harpooneers
the
success
of
a
whaling
voyage
largely
depends
and
since
in
the
american
fishery
he
is
not
only
an
important
officer
in
the
boat
but
under
certain
circumstances
night
watches
on
a
whaling
ground
the
command
of
the
ships
deck
is
also
his
therefore
the
grand
political
maxim
of
the
sea
demands
that
he
should
nominally
live
apart
from
the
men
before
the
mast
and
be
in
some
way
distinguished
as
their
professional
superior
though
always
by
them
familiarly
regarded
as
their
social
equal
now
the
grand
distinction
drawn
between
officer
and
man
at
sea
is
this
the
first
lives
aft
the
last
forward
hence
in
whale
ships
and
merchantmen
alike
the
mates
have
their
quarters
with
the
captain
and
so
too
in
most
of
the
american
whalers
the
harpooneers
are
lodged
in
the
after
part
of
the
ship
that
is
to
say
they
take
their
meals
in
the
captains
cabin
and
sleep
in
a
place
indirectly
communicating
with
it
though
the
long
period
of
a
southern
whaling
voyage
by
far
the
longest
of
all
voyages
now
or
ever
made
by
man
the
peculiar
perils
of
it
and
the
community
of
interest
prevailing
among
a
company
all
of
whom
high
or
low
depend
for
their
profits
not
upon
fixed
wages
but
upon
their
common
luck
together
with
their
common
vigilance
intrepidity
and
hard
work
though
all
these
things
do
in
some
cases
tend
to
beget
a
less
rigorous
discipline
than
in
merchantmen
generally
yet
never
mind
how
much
like
an
old
mesopotamian
family
these
whalemen
may
in
some
primitive
instances
live
together
for
all
that
the
punctilious
externals
at
least
of
the
quarter
deck
are
seldom
materially
relaxed
and
in
no
instance
done
away
indeed
many
are
the
nantucket
ships
in
which
you
will
see
the
skipper
parading
his
quarter
deck
with
an
elated
grandeur
not
surpassed
in
any
military
navy
nay
extorting
almost
as
much
outward
homage
as
if
he
wore
the
imperial
purple
and
not
the
shabbiest
of
pilot
cloth
and
though
of
all
men
the
moody
captain
of
the
pequod
was
the
least
given
to
that
sort
of
shallowest
assumption
and
though
the
only
homage
he
ever
exacted
was
implicit
instantaneous
obedience
though
he
required
no
man
to
remove
the
shoes
from
his
feet
ere
stepping
upon
the
quarter
deck
and
though
there
were
times
when
owing
to
peculiar
circumstances
connected
with
events
hereafter
to
be
detailed
he
addressed
them
in
unusual
terms
whether
of
condescension
or
in
terrorem
or
otherwise
yet
even
captain
ahab
was
by
no
means
unobservant
of
the
paramount
forms
and
usages
of
the
sea
nor
perhaps
will
it
fail
to
be
eventually
perceived
that
behind
those
forms
and
usages
as
it
were
he
sometimes
masked
himself
incidentally
making
use
of
them
for
other
and
more
private
ends
than
they
were
legitimately
intended
to
subserve
that
certain
sultanism
of
his
brain
which
had
otherwise
in
a
good
degree
remained
unmanifested
through
those
forms
that
same
sultanism
became
incarnate
in
an
irresistible
dictatorship
for
be
a
mans
intellectual
superiority
what
it
will
it
can
never
assume
the
practical
available
supremacy
over
other
men
without
the
aid
of
some
sort
of
external
arts
and
entrenchments
always
in
themselves
more
or
less
paltry
and
base
this
it
is
that
for
ever
keeps
gods
true
princes
of
the
empire
from
the
worlds
hustings
and
leaves
the
highest
honors
that
this
air
can
give
to
those
men
who
become
famous
more
through
their
infinite
inferiority
to
the
choice
hidden
handful
of
the
divine
inert
than
through
their
undoubted
superiority
over
the
dead
level
of
the
mass
such
large
virtue
lurks
in
these
small
things
when
extreme
political
superstitions
invest
them
that
in
some
royal
instances
even
to
idiot
imbecility
they
have
imparted
potency
but
when
as
in
the
case
of
nicholas
the
czar
the
ringed
crown
of
geographical
empire
encircles
an
imperial
brain
then
the
plebeian
herds
crouch
abased
before
the
tremendous
centralization
nor
will
the
tragic
dramatist
who
would
depict
mortal
indomitableness
in
its
fullest
sweep
and
direct
swing
ever
forget
a
hint
incidentally
so
important
in
his
art
as
the
one
now
alluded
to
but
ahab
my
captain
still
moves
before
me
in
all
his
nantucket
grimness
and
shagginess
and
in
this
episode
touching
emperors
and
kings
i
must
not
conceal
that
i
have
only
to
do
with
a
poor
old
whale
hunter
like
him
and
therefore
all
outward
majestical
trappings
and
housings
are
denied
me
oh
ahab
what
shall
be
grand
in
thee
it
must
needs
be
plucked
at
from
the
skies
and
dived
for
in
the
deep
and
featured
in
the
unbodied
air
it
is
noon
and
dough
boy
the
steward
thrusting
his
pale
loaf
of
bread
face
from
the
cabin
scuttle
announces
dinner
to
his
lord
and
master
who
sitting
in
the
lee
quarter
boat
has
just
been
taking
an
observation
of
the
sun
and
is
now
mutely
reckoning
the
latitude
on
the
smooth
medallion
shaped
tablet
reserved
for
that
daily
purpose
on
the
upper
part
of
his
ivory
leg
from
his
complete
inattention
to
the
tidings
you
would
think
that
moody
ahab
had
not
heard
his
menial
but
presently
catching
hold
of
the
mizen
shrouds
he
swings
himself
to
the
deck
and
in
an
even
unexhilarated
voice
saying
dinner
mr
starbuck
disappears
into
the
cabin
when
the
last
echo
of
his
sultans
step
has
died
away
and
starbuck
the
first
emir
has
every
reason
to
suppose
that
he
is
seated
then
starbuck
rouses
from
his
quietude
takes
a
few
turns
along
the
planks
and
after
a
grave
peep
into
the
binnacle
says
with
some
touch
of
pleasantness
dinner
mr
stubb
and
descends
the
scuttle
the
second
emir
lounges
about
the
rigging
awhile
and
then
slightly
shaking
the
main
brace
to
see
whether
it
be
all
right
with
that
important
rope
he
likewise
takes
up
the
old
burden
and
with
a
rapid
dinner
mr
flask
follows
after
his
predecessors
but
the
third
emir
now
seeing
himself
all
alone
on
the
quarter
deck
seems
to
feel
relieved
from
some
curious
restraint
for
tipping
all
sorts
of
knowing
winks
in
all
sorts
of
directions
and
kicking
off
his
shoes
he
strikes
into
a
sharp
but
noiseless
squall
of
a
hornpipe
right
over
the
grand
turks
head
and
then
by
a
dexterous
sleight
pitching
his
cap
up
into
the
mizentop
for
a
shelf
he
goes
down
rollicking
so
far
at
least
as
he
remains
visible
from
the
deck
reversing
all
other
processions
by
bringing
up
the
rear
with
music
but
ere
stepping
into
the
cabin
doorway
below
he
pauses
ships
a
new
face
altogether
and
then
independent
hilarious
little
flask
enters
king
ahabs
presence
in
the
character
of
abjectus
or
the
slave
it
is
not
the
least
among
the
strange
things
bred
by
the
intense
artificialness
of
sea
usages
that
while
in
the
open
air
of
the
deck
some
officers
will
upon
provocation
bear
themselves
boldly
and
defyingly
enough
towards
their
commander
yet
ten
to
one
let
those
very
officers
the
next
moment
go
down
to
their
customary
dinner
in
that
same
commanders
cabin
and
straightway
their
inoffensive
not
to
say
deprecatory
and
humble
air
towards
him
as
he
sits
at
the
head
of
the
table
this
is
marvellous
sometimes
most
comical
wherefore
this
difference
a
problem
perhaps
not
to
have
been
belshazzar
king
of
babylon
and
to
have
been
belshazzar
not
haughtily
but
courteously
therein
certainly
must
have
been
some
touch
of
mundane
grandeur
but
he
who
in
the
rightly
regal
and
intelligent
spirit
presides
over
his
own
private
dinner
table
of
invited
guests
that
mans
unchallenged
power
and
dominion
of
individual
influence
for
the
time
that
mans
royalty
of
state
transcends
belshazzars
for
belshazzar
was
not
the
greatest
who
has
but
once
dined
his
friends
has
tasted
what
it
is
to
be
caesar
it
is
a
witchery
of
social
czarship
which
there
is
no
withstanding
now
if
to
this
consideration
you
superadd
the
official
supremacy
of
a
ship
master
then
by
inference
you
will
derive
the
cause
of
that
peculiarity
of
sea
life
just
mentioned
over
his
ivory
inlaid
table
ahab
presided
like
a
mute
maned
sea
lion
on
the
white
coral
beach
surrounded
by
his
warlike
but
still
deferential
cubs
in
his
own
proper
turn
each
officer
waited
to
be
served
they
were
as
little
children
before
ahab
and
yet
in
ahab
there
seemed
not
to
lurk
the
smallest
social
arrogance
with
one
mind
their
intent
eyes
all
fastened
upon
the
old
mans
knife
as
he
carved
the
chief
dish
before
him
i
do
not
suppose
that
for
the
world
they
would
have
profaned
that
moment
with
the
slightest
observation
even
upon
so
neutral
a
topic
as
the
weather
no
and
when
reaching
out
his
knife
and
fork
between
which
the
slice
of
beef
was
locked
ahab
thereby
motioned
starbucks
plate
towards
him
the
mate
received
his
meat
as
though
receiving
alms
and
cut
it
tenderly
and
a
little
started
if
perchance
the
knife
grazed
against
the
plate
and
chewed
it
noiselessly
and
swallowed
it
not
without
circumspection
for
like
the
coronation
banquet
at
frankfort
where
the
german
emperor
profoundly
dines
with
the
seven
imperial
electors
so
these
cabin
meals
were
somehow
solemn
meals
eaten
in
awful
silence
and
yet
at
table
old
ahab
forbade
not
conversation
only
he
himself
was
dumb
what
a
relief
it
was
to
choking
stubb
when
a
rat
made
a
sudden
racket
in
the
hold
below
and
poor
little
flask
he
was
the
youngest
son
and
little
boy
of
this
weary
family
party
his
were
the
shinbones
of
the
saline
beef
his
would
have
been
the
drumsticks
for
flask
to
have
presumed
to
help
himself
this
must
have
seemed
to
him
tantamount
to
larceny
in
the
first
degree
had
he
helped
himself
at
that
table
doubtless
never
more
would
he
have
been
able
to
hold
his
head
up
in
this
honest
world
nevertheless
strange
to
say
ahab
never
forbade
him
and
had
flask
helped
himself
the
chances
were
ahab
had
never
so
much
as
noticed
it
least
of
all
did
flask
presume
to
help
himself
to
butter
whether
he
thought
the
owners
of
the
ship
denied
it
to
him
on
account
of
its
clotting
his
clear
sunny
complexion
or
whether
he
deemed
that
on
so
long
a
voyage
in
such
marketless
waters
butter
was
at
a
premium
and
therefore
was
not
for
him
a
subaltern
however
it
was
flask
alas
was
a
butterless
man
another
thing
flask
was
the
last
person
down
at
the
dinner
and
flask
is
the
first
man
up
consider
for
hereby
flasks
dinner
was
badly
jammed
in
point
of
time
starbuck
and
stubb
both
had
the
start
of
him
and
yet
they
also
have
the
privilege
of
lounging
in
the
rear
if
stubb
even
who
is
but
a
peg
higher
than
flask
happens
to
have
but
a
small
appetite
and
soon
shows
symptoms
of
concluding
his
repast
then
flask
must
bestir
himself
he
will
not
get
more
than
three
mouthfuls
that
day
for
it
is
against
holy
usage
for
stubb
to
precede
flask
to
the
deck
therefore
it
was
that
flask
once
admitted
in
private
that
ever
since
he
had
arisen
to
the
dignity
of
an
officer
from
that
moment
he
had
never
known
what
it
was
to
be
otherwise
than
hungry
more
or
less
for
what
he
ate
did
not
so
much
relieve
his
hunger
as
keep
it
immortal
in
him
peace
and
satisfaction
thought
flask
have
for
ever
departed
from
my
stomach
i
am
an
officer
but
how
i
wish
i
could
fist
a
bit
of
old
fashioned
beef
in
the
forecastle
as
i
used
to
when
i
was
before
the
mast
theres
the
fruits
of
promotion
now
theres
the
vanity
of
glory
theres
the
insanity
of
life
besides
if
it
were
so
that
any
mere
sailor
of
the
pequod
had
a
grudge
against
flask
in
flasks
official
capacity
all
that
sailor
had
to
do
in
order
to
obtain
ample
vengeance
was
to
go
aft
at
dinner
time
and
get
a
peep
at
flask
through
the
cabin
sky
light
sitting
silly
and
dumfoundered
before
awful
ahab
now
ahab
and
his
three
mates
formed
what
may
be
called
the
first
table
in
the
pequods
cabin
after
their
departure
taking
place
in
inverted
order
to
their
arrival
the
canvas
cloth
was
cleared
or
rather
was
restored
to
some
hurried
order
by
the
pallid
steward
and
then
the
three
harpooneers
were
bidden
to
the
feast
they
being
its
residuary
legatees
they
made
a
sort
of
temporary
servants
hall
of
the
high
and
mighty
cabin
in
strange
contrast
to
the
hardly
tolerable
constraint
and
nameless
invisible
domineerings
of
the
captains
table
was
the
entire
care
free
license
and
ease
the
almost
frantic
democracy
of
those
inferior
fellows
the
harpooneers
while
their
masters
the
mates
seemed
afraid
of
the
sound
of
the
hinges
of
their
own
jaws
the
harpooneers
chewed
their
food
with
such
a
relish
that
there
was
a
report
to
it
they
dined
like
lords
they
filled
their
bellies
like
indian
ships
all
day
loading
with
spices
such
portentous
appetites
had
queequeg
and
tashtego
that
to
fill
out
the
vacancies
made
by
the
previous
repast
often
the
pale
dough
boy
was
fain
to
bring
on
a
great
baron
of
salt
junk
seemingly
quarried
out
of
the
solid
ox
and
if
he
were
not
lively
about
it
if
he
did
not
go
with
a
nimble
hop
skip
and
jump
then
tashtego
had
an
ungentlemanly
way
of
accelerating
him
by
darting
a
fork
at
his
back
harpoonwise
and
once
daggoo
seized
with
a
sudden
humor
assisted
dough
boys
memory
by
snatching
him
up
bodily
and
thrusting
his
head
into
a
great
empty
wooden
trencher
while
tashtego
knife
in
hand
began
laying
out
the
circle
preliminary
to
scalping
him
he
was
naturally
a
very
nervous
shuddering
sort
of
little
fellow
this
bread
faced
steward
the
progeny
of
a
bankrupt
baker
and
a
hospital
nurse
and
what
with
the
standing
spectacle
of
the
black
terrific
ahab
and
the
periodical
tumultuous
visitations
of
these
three
savages
dough
boys
whole
life
was
one
continual
lip
quiver
commonly
after
seeing
the
harpooneers
furnished
with
all
things
they
demanded
he
would
escape
from
their
clutches
into
his
little
pantry
adjoining
and
fearfully
peep
out
at
them
through
the
blinds
of
its
door
till
all
was
over
it
was
a
sight
to
see
queequeg
seated
over
against
tashtego
opposing
his
filed
teeth
to
the
indians
crosswise
to
them
daggoo
seated
on
the
floor
for
a
bench
would
have
brought
his
hearse
plumed
head
to
the
low
carlines
at
every
motion
of
his
colossal
limbs
making
the
low
cabin
framework
to
shake
as
when
an
african
elephant
goes
passenger
in
a
ship
but
for
all
this
the
great
negro
was
wonderfully
abstemious
not
to
say
dainty
it
seemed
hardly
possible
that
by
such
comparatively
small
mouthfuls
he
could
keep
up
the
vitality
diffused
through
so
broad
baronial
and
superb
a
person
but
doubtless
this
noble
savage
fed
strong
and
drank
deep
of
the
abounding
element
of
air
and
through
his
dilated
nostrils
snuffed
in
the
sublime
life
of
the
worlds
not
by
beef
or
by
bread
are
giants
made
or
nourished
but
queequeg
he
had
a
mortal
barbaric
smack
of
the
lip
in
eating
an
ugly
sound
enough
so
much
so
that
the
trembling
dough
boy
almost
looked
to
see
whether
any
marks
of
teeth
lurked
in
his
own
lean
arms
and
when
he
would
hear
tashtego
singing
out
for
him
to
produce
himself
that
his
bones
might
be
picked
the
simple
witted
steward
all
but
shattered
the
crockery
hanging
round
him
in
the
pantry
by
his
sudden
fits
of
the
palsy
nor
did
the
whetstone
which
the
harpooneers
carried
in
their
pockets
for
their
lances
and
other
weapons
and
with
which
whetstones
at
dinner
they
would
ostentatiously
sharpen
their
knives
that
grating
sound
did
not
at
all
tend
to
tranquillize
poor
dough
boy
how
could
he
forget
that
in
his
island
days
queequeg
for
one
must
certainly
have
been
guilty
of
some
murderous
convivial
indiscretions
alas
dough
boy
hard
fares
the
white
waiter
who
waits
upon
cannibals
not
a
napkin
should
he
carry
on
his
arm
but
a
buckler
in
good
time
though
to
his
great
delight
the
three
salt
sea
warriors
would
rise
and
depart
to
his
credulous
fable
mongering
ears
all
their
martial
bones
jingling
in
them
at
every
step
like
moorish
scimetars
in
scabbards
but
though
these
barbarians
dined
in
the
cabin
and
nominally
lived
there
still
being
anything
but
sedentary
in
their
habits
they
were
scarcely
ever
in
it
except
at
meal
times
and
just
before
sleeping
time
when
they
passed
through
it
to
their
own
peculiar
quarters
in
this
one
matter
ahab
seemed
no
exception
to
most
american
whale
captains
who
as
a
set
rather
incline
to
the
opinion
that
by
rights
the
ships
cabin
belongs
to
them
and
that
it
is
by
courtesy
alone
that
anybody
else
is
at
any
time
permitted
there
so
that
in
real
truth
the
mates
and
harpooneers
of
the
pequod
might
more
properly
be
said
to
have
lived
out
of
the
cabin
than
in
it
for
when
they
did
enter
it
it
was
something
as
a
street
door
enters
a
house
turning
inwards
for
a
moment
only
to
be
turned
out
the
next
and
as
a
permanent
thing
residing
in
the
open
air
nor
did
they
lose
much
hereby
in
the
cabin
was
no
companionship
socially
ahab
was
inaccessible
though
nominally
included
in
the
census
of
christendom
he
was
still
an
alien
to
it
he
lived
in
the
world
as
the
last
of
the
grisly
bears
lived
in
settled
missouri
and
as
when
spring
and
summer
had
departed
that
wild
logan
of
the
woods
burying
himself
in
the
hollow
of
a
tree
lived
out
the
winter
there
sucking
his
own
paws
so
in
his
inclement
howling
old
age
ahabs
soul
shut
up
in
the
caved
trunk
of
his
body
there
fed
upon
the
sullen
paws
of
its
gloom
it
was
during
the
more
pleasant
weather
that
in
due
rotation
with
the
other
seamen
my
first
mast
head
came
round
in
most
american
whalemen
the
mast
heads
are
manned
almost
simultaneously
with
the
vessels
leaving
her
port
even
though
she
may
have
fifteen
thousand
miles
and
more
to
sail
ere
reaching
her
proper
cruising
ground
and
if
after
a
three
four
or
five
years
voyage
she
is
drawing
nigh
home
with
anything
empty
in
her
say
an
empty
vial
even
then
her
mast
heads
are
kept
manned
to
the
last
and
not
till
her
skysail
poles
sail
in
among
the
spires
of
the
port
does
she
altogether
relinquish
the
hope
of
capturing
one
whale
more
now
as
the
business
of
standing
mast
heads
ashore
or
afloat
is
a
very
ancient
and
interesting
one
let
us
in
some
measure
expatiate
here
i
take
it
that
the
earliest
standers
of
mast
heads
were
the
old
egyptians
because
in
all
my
researches
i
find
none
prior
to
them
for
though
their
progenitors
the
builders
of
babel
must
doubtless
by
their
tower
have
intended
to
rear
the
loftiest
mast
head
in
all
asia
or
africa
either
yet
ere
the
final
truck
was
put
to
it
as
that
great
stone
mast
of
theirs
may
be
said
to
have
gone
by
the
board
in
the
dread
gale
of
gods
wrath
therefore
we
cannot
give
these
babel
builders
priority
over
the
egyptians
and
that
the
egyptians
were
a
nation
of
mast
head
standers
is
an
assertion
based
upon
the
general
belief
among
archaeologists
that
the
first
pyramids
were
founded
for
astronomical
purposes
a
theory
singularly
supported
by
the
peculiar
stair
like
formation
of
all
four
sides
of
those
edifices
whereby
with
prodigious
long
upliftings
of
their
legs
those
old
astronomers
were
wont
to
mount
to
the
apex
and
sing
out
for
new
stars
even
as
the
look
outs
of
a
modern
ship
sing
out
for
a
sail
or
a
whale
just
bearing
in
sight
in
saint
stylites
the
famous
christian
hermit
of
old
times
who
built
him
a
lofty
stone
pillar
in
the
desert
and
spent
the
whole
latter
portion
of
his
life
on
its
summit
hoisting
his
food
from
the
ground
with
a
tackle
in
him
we
have
a
remarkable
instance
of
a
dauntless
stander
of
mast
heads
who
was
not
to
be
driven
from
his
place
by
fogs
or
frosts
rain
hail
or
sleet
but
valiantly
facing
everything
out
to
the
last
literally
died
at
his
post
of
modern
standers
of
mast
heads
we
have
but
a
lifeless
set
mere
stone
iron
and
bronze
men
who
though
well
capable
of
facing
out
a
stiff
gale
are
still
entirely
incompetent
to
the
business
of
singing
out
upon
discovering
any
strange
sight
there
is
napoleon
who
upon
the
top
of
the
column
of
vendome
stands
with
arms
folded
some
one
hundred
and
fifty
feet
in
the
air
careless
now
who
rules
the
decks
below
whether
louis
philippe
louis
blanc
or
louis
the
devil
great
washington
too
stands
high
aloft
on
his
towering
main
mast
in
baltimore
and
like
one
of
hercules
pillars
his
column
marks
that
point
of
human
grandeur
beyond
which
few
mortals
will
go
admiral
nelson
also
on
a
capstan
of
gun
metal
stands
his
mast
head
in
trafalgar
square
and
ever
when
most
obscured
by
that
london
smoke
token
is
yet
given
that
a
hidden
hero
is
there
for
where
there
is
smoke
must
be
fire
but
neither
great
washington
nor
napoleon
nor
nelson
will
answer
a
single
hail
from
below
however
madly
invoked
to
befriend
by
their
counsels
the
distracted
decks
upon
which
they
gaze
however
it
may
be
surmised
that
their
spirits
penetrate
through
the
thick
haze
of
the
future
and
descry
what
shoals
and
what
rocks
must
be
shunned
it
may
seem
unwarrantable
to
couple
in
any
respect
the
mast
head
standers
of
the
land
with
those
of
the
sea
but
that
in
truth
it
is
not
so
is
plainly
evinced
by
an
item
for
which
obed
macy
the
sole
historian
of
nantucket
stands
accountable
the
worthy
obed
tells
us
that
in
the
early
times
of
the
whale
fishery
ere
ships
were
regularly
launched
in
pursuit
of
the
game
the
people
of
that
island
erected
lofty
spars
along
the
sea
coast
to
which
the
look
outs
ascended
by
means
of
nailed
cleats
something
as
fowls
go
upstairs
in
a
hen
house
a
few
years
ago
this
same
plan
was
adopted
by
the
bay
whalemen
of
new
zealand
who
upon
descrying
the
game
gave
notice
to
the
ready
manned
boats
nigh
the
beach
but
this
custom
has
now
become
obsolete
turn
we
then
to
the
one
proper
mast
head
that
of
a
whale
ship
at
sea
the
three
mast
heads
are
kept
manned
from
sun
rise
to
sun
set
the
seamen
taking
their
regular
turns
as
at
the
helm
and
relieving
each
other
every
two
hours
in
the
serene
weather
of
the
tropics
it
is
exceedingly
pleasant
the
mast
head
nay
to
a
dreamy
meditative
man
it
is
delightful
there
you
stand
a
hundred
feet
above
the
silent
decks
striding
along
the
deep
as
if
the
masts
were
gigantic
stilts
while
beneath
you
and
between
your
legs
as
it
were
swim
the
hugest
monsters
of
the
sea
even
as
ships
once
sailed
between
the
boots
of
the
famous
colossus
at
old
rhodes
there
you
stand
lost
in
the
infinite
series
of
the
sea
with
nothing
ruffled
but
the
waves
the
tranced
ship
indolently
rolls
the
drowsy
trade
winds
blow
everything
resolves
you
into
languor
for
the
most
part
in
this
tropic
whaling
life
a
sublime
uneventfulness
invests
you
you
hear
no
news
read
no
gazettes
extras
with
startling
accounts
of
commonplaces
never
delude
you
into
unnecessary
excitements
you
hear
of
no
domestic
afflictions
bankrupt
securities
fall
of
stocks
are
never
troubled
with
the
thought
of
what
you
shall
have
for
dinner
for
all
your
meals
for
three
years
and
more
are
snugly
stowed
in
casks
and
your
bill
of
fare
is
immutable
in
one
of
those
southern
whalemen
on
a
long
three
or
four
years
voyage
as
often
happens
the
sum
of
the
various
hours
you
spend
at
the
mast
head
would
amount
to
several
entire
months
and
it
is
much
to
be
deplored
that
the
place
to
which
you
devote
so
considerable
a
portion
of
the
whole
term
of
your
natural
life
should
be
so
sadly
destitute
of
anything
approaching
to
a
cosy
inhabitiveness
or
adapted
to
breed
a
comfortable
localness
of
feeling
such
as
pertains
to
a
bed
a
hammock
a
hearse
a
sentry
box
a
pulpit
a
coach
or
any
other
of
those
small
and
snug
contrivances
in
which
men
temporarily
isolate
themselves
your
most
usual
point
of
perch
is
the
head
of
the
t
gallant
mast
where
you
stand
upon
two
thin
parallel
sticks
almost
peculiar
to
whalemen
called
the
t
gallant
cross
trees
here
tossed
about
by
the
sea
the
beginner
feels
about
as
cosy
as
he
would
standing
on
a
bulls
horns
to
be
sure
in
cold
weather
you
may
carry
your
house
aloft
with
you
in
the
shape
of
a
watch
coat
but
properly
speaking
the
thickest
watch
coat
is
no
more
of
a
house
than
the
unclad
body
for
as
the
soul
is
glued
inside
of
its
fleshly
tabernacle
and
cannot
freely
move
about
in
it
nor
even
move
out
of
it
without
running
great
risk
of
perishing
like
an
ignorant
pilgrim
crossing
the
snowy
alps
in
winter
so
a
watch
coat
is
not
so
much
of
a
house
as
it
is
a
mere
envelope
or
additional
skin
encasing
you
you
cannot
put
a
shelf
or
chest
of
drawers
in
your
body
and
no
more
can
you
make
a
convenient
closet
of
your
watch
coat
concerning
all
this
it
is
much
to
be
deplored
that
the
mast
heads
of
a
southern
whale
ship
are
unprovided
with
those
enviable
little
tents
or
pulpits
called
crows
nests
in
which
the
lookouts
of
a
greenland
whaler
are
protected
from
the
inclement
weather
of
the
frozen
seas
in
the
fire
side
narrative
of
captain
sleet
entitled
a
voyage
among
the
icebergs
in
quest
of
the
greenland
whale
and
incidentally
for
the
re
discovery
of
the
lost
icelandic
colonies
of
old
greenland
in
this
admirable
volume
all
standers
of
mast
heads
are
furnished
with
a
charmingly
circumstantial
account
of
the
then
recently
invented
crows
nest
of
the
glacier
which
was
the
name
of
captain
sleets
good
craft
he
called
it
the
sleets
crows
nest
in
honor
of
himself
he
being
the
original
inventor
and
patentee
and
free
from
all
ridiculous
false
delicacy
and
holding
that
if
we
call
our
own
children
after
our
own
names
we
fathers
being
the
original
inventors
and
patentees
so
likewise
should
we
denominate
after
ourselves
any
other
apparatus
we
may
beget
in
shape
the
sleets
crows
nest
is
something
like
a
large
tierce
or
pipe
it
is
open
above
however
where
it
is
furnished
with
a
movable
side
screen
to
keep
to
windward
of
your
head
in
a
hard
gale
being
fixed
on
the
summit
of
the
mast
you
ascend
into
it
through
a
little
trap
hatch
in
the
bottom
on
the
after
side
or
side
next
the
stern
of
the
ship
is
a
comfortable
seat
with
a
locker
underneath
for
umbrellas
comforters
and
coats
in
front
is
a
leather
rack
in
which
to
keep
your
speaking
trumpet
pipe
telescope
and
other
nautical
conveniences
when
captain
sleet
in
person
stood
his
mast
head
in
this
crows
nest
of
his
he
tells
us
that
he
always
had
a
rifle
with
him
also
fixed
in
the
rack
together
with
a
powder
flask
and
shot
for
the
purpose
of
popping
off
the
stray
narwhales
or
vagrant
sea
unicorns
infesting
those
waters
for
you
cannot
successfully
shoot
at
them
from
the
deck
owing
to
the
resistance
of
the
water
but
to
shoot
down
upon
them
is
a
very
different
thing
now
it
was
plainly
a
labor
of
love
for
captain
sleet
to
describe
as
he
does
all
the
little
detailed
conveniences
of
his
crows
nest
but
though
he
so
enlarges
upon
many
of
these
and
though
he
treats
us
to
a
very
scientific
account
of
his
experiments
in
this
crows
nest
with
a
small
compass
he
kept
there
for
the
purpose
of
counteracting
the
errors
resulting
from
what
is
called
the
local
attraction
of
all
binnacle
magnets
an
error
ascribable
to
the
horizontal
vicinity
of
the
iron
in
the
ships
planks
and
in
the
glaciers
case
perhaps
to
there
having
been
so
many
broken
down
blacksmiths
among
her
crew
i
say
that
though
the
captain
is
very
discreet
and
scientific
here
yet
for
all
his
learned
binnacle
deviations
azimuth
compass
observations
and
approximate
errors
he
knows
very
well
captain
sleet
that
he
was
not
so
much
immersed
in
those
profound
magnetic
meditations
as
to
fail
being
attracted
occasionally
towards
that
well
replenished
little
case
bottle
so
nicely
tucked
in
on
one
side
of
his
crows
nest
within
easy
reach
of
his
hand
though
upon
the
whole
i
greatly
admire
and
even
love
the
brave
the
honest
and
learned
captain
yet
i
take
it
very
ill
of
him
that
he
should
so
utterly
ignore
that
case
bottle
seeing
what
a
faithful
friend
and
comforter
it
must
have
been
while
with
mittened
fingers
and
hooded
head
he
was
studying
the
mathematics
aloft
there
in
that
birds
nest
within
three
or
four
perches
of
the
pole
but
if
we
southern
whale
fishers
are
not
so
snugly
housed
aloft
as
captain
sleet
and
his
greenland
men
were
yet
that
disadvantage
is
greatly
counterbalanced
by
the
widely
contrasting
serenity
of
those
seductive
seas
in
which
we
south
fishers
mostly
float
for
one
i
used
to
lounge
up
the
rigging
very
leisurely
resting
in
the
top
to
have
a
chat
with
queequeg
or
any
one
else
off
duty
whom
i
might
find
there
then
ascending
a
little
way
further
and
throwing
a
lazy
leg
over
the
top
sail
yard
take
a
preliminary
view
of
the
watery
pastures
and
so
at
last
mount
to
my
ultimate
destination
let
me
make
a
clean
breast
of
it
here
and
frankly
admit
that
i
kept
but
sorry
guard
with
the
problem
of
the
universe
revolving
in
me
how
could
i
being
left
completely
to
myself
at
such
a
thought
engendering
altitude
how
could
i
but
lightly
hold
my
obligations
to
observe
all
whale
ships
standing
orders
keep
your
weather
eye
open
and
sing
out
every
time
and
let
me
in
this
place
movingly
admonish
you
ye
ship
owners
of
nantucket
beware
of
enlisting
in
your
vigilant
fisheries
any
lad
with
lean
brow
and
hollow
eye
given
to
unseasonable
meditativeness
and
who
offers
to
ship
with
the
phaedon
instead
of
bowditch
in
his
head
beware
of
such
an
one
i
say
your
whales
must
be
seen
before
they
can
be
killed
and
this
sunken
eyed
young
platonist
will
tow
you
ten
wakes
round
the
world
and
never
make
you
one
pint
of
sperm
the
richer
nor
are
these
monitions
at
all
unneeded
for
nowadays
the
whale
fishery
furnishes
an
asylum
for
many
romantic
melancholy
and
absent
minded
young
men
disgusted
with
the
carking
cares
of
earth
and
seeking
sentiment
in
tar
and
blubber
childe
harold
not
unfrequently
perches
himself
upon
the
mast
head
of
some
luckless
disappointed
whale
ship
and
in
moody
phrase
ejaculates
roll
on
thou
deep
and
dark
blue
ocean
roll
ten
thousand
blubber
hunters
sweep
over
thee
in
vain
very
often
do
the
captains
of
such
ships
take
those
absent
minded
young
philosophers
to
task
upbraiding
them
with
not
feeling
sufficient
interest
in
the
voyage
half
hinting
that
they
are
so
hopelessly
lost
to
all
honorable
ambition
as
that
in
their
secret
souls
they
would
rather
not
see
whales
than
otherwise
but
all
in
vain
those
young
platonists
have
a
notion
that
their
vision
is
imperfect
they
are
short
sighted
what
use
then
to
strain
the
visual
nerve
they
have
left
their
opera
glasses
at
home
why
thou
monkey
said
a
harpooneer
to
one
of
these
lads
weve
been
cruising
now
hard
upon
three
years
and
thou
hast
not
raised
a
whale
yet
whales
are
scarce
as
hens
teeth
whenever
thou
art
up
here
perhaps
they
were
or
perhaps
there
might
have
been
shoals
of
them
in
the
far
horizon
but
lulled
into
such
an
opium
like
listlessness
of
vacant
unconscious
reverie
is
this
absent
minded
youth
by
the
blending
cadence
of
waves
with
thoughts
that
at
last
he
loses
his
identity
takes
the
mystic
ocean
at
his
feet
for
the
visible
image
of
that
deep
blue
bottomless
soul
pervading
mankind
and
nature
and
every
strange
half
seen
gliding
beautiful
thing
that
eludes
him
every
dimly
discovered
uprising
fin
of
some
undiscernible
form
seems
to
him
the
embodiment
of
those
elusive
thoughts
that
only
people
the
soul
by
continually
flitting
through
it
in
this
enchanted
mood
thy
spirit
ebbs
away
to
whence
it
came
becomes
diffused
through
time
and
space
like
cranmers
sprinkled
pantheistic
ashes
forming
at
last
a
part
of
every
shore
the
round
globe
over
there
is
no
life
in
thee
now
except
that
rocking
life
imparted
by
a
gently
rolling
ship
by
her
borrowed
from
the
sea
by
the
sea
from
the
inscrutable
tides
of
god
but
while
this
sleep
this
dream
is
on
ye
move
your
foot
or
hand
an
inch
slip
your
hold
at
all
and
your
identity
comes
back
in
horror
over
descartian
vortices
you
hover
and
perhaps
at
mid
day
in
the
fairest
weather
with
one
half
throttled
shriek
you
drop
through
that
transparent
air
into
the
summer
sea
no
more
to
rise
for
ever
heed
it
well
ye
pantheists
enter
ahab
then
all
it
was
not
a
great
while
after
the
affair
of
the
pipe
that
one
morning
shortly
after
breakfast
ahab
as
was
his
wont
ascended
the
cabin
gangway
to
the
deck
there
most
sea
captains
usually
walk
at
that
hour
as
country
gentlemen
after
the
same
meal
take
a
few
turns
in
the
garden
soon
his
steady
ivory
stride
was
heard
as
to
and
fro
he
paced
his
old
rounds
upon
planks
so
familiar
to
his
tread
that
they
were
all
over
dented
like
geological
stones
with
the
peculiar
mark
of
his
walk
did
you
fixedly
gaze
too
upon
that
ribbed
and
dented
brow
there
also
you
would
see
still
stranger
foot
prints
the
foot
prints
of
his
one
unsleeping
ever
pacing
thought
but
on
the
occasion
in
question
those
dents
looked
deeper
even
as
his
nervous
step
that
morning
left
a
deeper
mark
and
so
full
of
his
thought
was
ahab
that
at
every
uniform
turn
that
he
made
now
at
the
main
mast
and
now
at
the
binnacle
you
could
almost
see
that
thought
turn
in
him
as
he
turned
and
pace
in
him
as
he
paced
so
completely
possessing
him
indeed
that
it
all
but
seemed
the
inward
mould
of
every
outer
movement
dye
mark
him
flask
whispered
stubb
the
chick
thats
in
him
pecks
the
shell
twill
soon
be
out
the
hours
wore
on
ahab
now
shut
up
within
his
cabin
anon
pacing
the
deck
with
the
same
intense
bigotry
of
purpose
in
his
aspect
it
drew
near
the
close
of
day
suddenly
he
came
to
a
halt
by
the
bulwarks
and
inserting
his
bone
leg
into
the
auger
hole
there
and
with
one
hand
grasping
a
shroud
he
ordered
starbuck
to
send
everybody
aft
sir
said
the
mate
astonished
at
an
order
seldom
or
never
given
on
ship
board
except
in
some
extraordinary
case
send
everybody
aft
repeated
ahab
mast
heads
there
come
down
when
the
entire
ships
company
were
assembled
and
with
curious
and
not
wholly
unapprehensive
faces
were
eyeing
him
for
he
looked
not
unlike
the
weather
horizon
when
a
storm
is
coming
up
ahab
after
rapidly
glancing
over
the
bulwarks
and
then
darting
his
eyes
among
the
crew
started
from
his
standpoint
and
as
though
not
a
soul
were
nigh
him
resumed
his
heavy
turns
upon
the
deck
with
bent
head
and
half
slouched
hat
he
continued
to
pace
unmindful
of
the
wondering
whispering
among
the
men
till
stubb
cautiously
whispered
to
flask
that
ahab
must
have
summoned
them
there
for
the
purpose
of
witnessing
a
pedestrian
feat
but
this
did
not
last
long
vehemently
pausing
he
cried
what
do
ye
do
when
ye
see
a
whale
men
sing
out
for
him
was
the
impulsive
rejoinder
from
a
score
of
clubbed
voices
good
cried
ahab
with
a
wild
approval
in
his
tones
observing
the
hearty
animation
into
which
his
unexpected
question
had
so
magnetically
thrown
them
and
what
do
ye
next
men
lower
away
and
after
him
and
what
tune
is
it
ye
pull
to
men
a
dead
whale
or
a
stove
boat
more
and
more
strangely
and
fiercely
glad
and
approving
grew
the
countenance
of
the
old
man
at
every
shout
while
the
mariners
began
to
gaze
curiously
at
each
other
as
if
marvelling
how
it
was
that
they
themselves
became
so
excited
at
such
seemingly
purposeless
questions
but
they
were
all
eagerness
again
as
ahab
now
half
revolving
in
his
pivot
hole
with
one
hand
reaching
high
up
a
shroud
and
tightly
almost
convulsively
grasping
it
addressed
them
thus
all
ye
mast
headers
have
before
now
heard
me
give
orders
about
a
white
whale
look
ye
dye
see
this
spanish
ounce
of
gold
holding
up
a
broad
bright
coin
to
the
sun
it
is
a
sixteen
dollar
piece
men
dye
see
it
mr
starbuck
hand
me
yon
top
maul
while
the
mate
was
getting
the
hammer
ahab
without
speaking
was
slowly
rubbing
the
gold
piece
against
the
skirts
of
his
jacket
as
if
to
heighten
its
lustre
and
without
using
any
words
was
meanwhile
lowly
humming
to
himself
producing
a
sound
so
strangely
muffled
and
inarticulate
that
it
seemed
the
mechanical
humming
of
the
wheels
of
his
vitality
in
him
receiving
the
top
maul
from
starbuck
he
advanced
towards
the
main
mast
with
the
hammer
uplifted
in
one
hand
exhibiting
the
gold
with
the
other
and
with
a
high
raised
voice
exclaiming
whosoever
of
ye
raises
me
a
white
headed
whale
with
a
wrinkled
brow
and
a
crooked
jaw
whosoever
of
ye
raises
me
that
white
headed
whale
with
three
holes
punctured
in
his
starboard
fluke
look
ye
whosoever
of
ye
raises
me
that
same
white
whale
he
shall
have
this
gold
ounce
my
boys
huzza
huzza
cried
the
seamen
as
with
swinging
tarpaulins
they
hailed
the
act
of
nailing
the
gold
to
the
mast
its
a
white
whale
i
say
resumed
ahab
as
he
threw
down
the
top
maul
a
white
whale
skin
your
eyes
for
him
men
look
sharp
for
white
water
if
ye
see
but
a
bubble
sing
out
all
this
while
tashtego
daggoo
and
queequeg
had
looked
on
with
even
more
intense
interest
and
surprise
than
the
rest
and
at
the
mention
of
the
wrinkled
brow
and
crooked
jaw
they
had
started
as
if
each
was
separately
touched
by
some
specific
recollection
captain
ahab
said
tashtego
that
white
whale
must
be
the
same
that
some
call
moby
dick
moby
dick
shouted
ahab
do
ye
know
the
white
whale
then
tash
does
he
fan
tail
a
little
curious
sir
before
he
goes
down
said
the
gay
header
deliberately
and
has
he
a
curious
spout
too
said
daggoo
very
bushy
even
for
a
parmacetty
and
mighty
quick
captain
ahab
and
he
have
one
two
tree
oh
good
many
iron
in
him
hide
too
captain
cried
queequeg
disjointedly
all
twiske
tee
betwisk
like
him
him
faltering
hard
for
a
word
and
screwing
his
hand
round
and
round
as
though
uncorking
a
bottle
like
him
him
corkscrew
cried
ahab
aye
queequeg
the
harpoons
lie
all
twisted
and
wrenched
in
him
aye
daggoo
his
spout
is
a
big
one
like
a
whole
shock
of
wheat
and
white
as
a
pile
of
our
nantucket
wool
after
the
great
annual
sheep
shearing
aye
tashtego
and
he
fan
tails
like
a
split
jib
in
a
squall
death
and
devils
men
it
is
moby
dick
ye
have
seen
moby
dick
moby
dick
captain
ahab
said
starbuck
who
with
stubb
and
flask
had
thus
far
been
eyeing
his
superior
with
increasing
surprise
but
at
last
seemed
struck
with
a
thought
which
somewhat
explained
all
the
wonder
captain
ahab
i
have
heard
of
moby
dick
but
it
was
not
moby
dick
that
took
off
thy
leg
who
told
thee
that
cried
ahab
then
pausing
aye
starbuck
aye
my
hearties
all
round
it
was
moby
dick
that
dismasted
me
moby
dick
that
brought
me
to
this
dead
stump
i
stand
on
now
aye
aye
he
shouted
with
a
terrific
loud
animal
sob
like
that
of
a
heart
stricken
moose
aye
aye
it
was
that
accursed
white
whale
that
razeed
me
made
a
poor
pegging
lubber
of
me
for
ever
and
a
day
then
tossing
both
arms
with
measureless
imprecations
he
shouted
out
aye
aye
and
ill
chase
him
round
good
hope
and
round
the
horn
and
round
the
norway
maelstrom
and
round
perditions
flames
before
i
give
him
up
and
this
is
what
ye
have
shipped
for
men
to
chase
that
white
whale
on
both
sides
of
land
and
over
all
sides
of
earth
till
he
spouts
black
blood
and
rolls
fin
out
what
say
ye
men
will
ye
splice
hands
on
it
now
i
think
ye
do
look
brave
aye
aye
shouted
the
harpooneers
and
seamen
running
closer
to
the
excited
old
man
a
sharp
eye
for
the
white
whale
a
sharp
lance
for
moby
dick
god
bless
ye
he
seemed
to
half
sob
and
half
shout
god
bless
ye
men
steward
go
draw
the
great
measure
of
grog
but
whats
this
long
face
about
mr
starbuck
wilt
thou
not
chase
the
white
whale
art
not
game
for
moby
dick
i
am
game
for
his
crooked
jaw
and
for
the
jaws
of
death
too
captain
ahab
if
it
fairly
comes
in
the
way
of
the
business
we
follow
but
i
came
here
to
hunt
whales
not
my
commanders
vengeance
how
many
barrels
will
thy
vengeance
yield
thee
even
if
thou
gettest
it
captain
ahab
it
will
not
fetch
thee
much
in
our
nantucket
market
nantucket
market
hoot
but
come
closer
starbuck
thou
requirest
a
little
lower
layer
if
moneys
to
be
the
measurer
man
and
the
accountants
have
computed
their
great
counting
house
the
globe
by
girdling
it
with
guineas
one
to
every
three
parts
of
an
inch
then
let
me
tell
thee
that
my
vengeance
will
fetch
a
great
premium
here
he
smites
his
chest
whispered
stubb
whats
that
for
methinks
it
rings
most
vast
but
hollow
vengeance
on
a
dumb
brute
cried
starbuck
that
simply
smote
thee
from
blindest
instinct
madness
to
be
enraged
with
a
dumb
thing
captain
ahab
seems
blasphemous
hark
ye
yet
again
the
little
lower
layer
all
visible
objects
man
are
but
as
pasteboard
masks
but
in
each
event
in
the
living
act
the
undoubted
deed
there
some
unknown
but
still
reasoning
thing
puts
forth
the
mouldings
of
its
features
from
behind
the
unreasoning
mask
if
man
will
strike
strike
through
the
mask
how
can
the
prisoner
reach
outside
except
by
thrusting
through
the
wall
to
me
the
white
whale
is
that
wall
shoved
near
to
me
sometimes
i
think
theres
naught
beyond
but
tis
enough
he
tasks
me
he
heaps
me
i
see
in
him
outrageous
strength
with
an
inscrutable
malice
sinewing
it
that
inscrutable
thing
is
chiefly
what
i
hate
and
be
the
white
whale
agent
or
be
the
white
whale
principal
i
will
wreak
that
hate
upon
him
talk
not
to
me
of
blasphemy
man
id
strike
the
sun
if
it
insulted
me
for
could
the
sun
do
that
then
could
i
do
the
other
since
there
is
ever
a
sort
of
fair
play
herein
jealousy
presiding
over
all
creations
but
not
my
master
man
is
even
that
fair
play
whos
over
me
truth
hath
no
confines
take
off
thine
eye
more
intolerable
than
fiends
glarings
is
a
doltish
stare
so
so
thou
reddenest
and
palest
my
heat
has
melted
thee
to
anger
glow
but
look
ye
starbuck
what
is
said
in
heat
that
thing
unsays
itself
there
are
men
from
whom
warm
words
are
small
indignity
i
meant
not
to
incense
thee
let
it
go
look
see
yonder
turkish
cheeks
of
spotted
tawn
living
breathing
pictures
painted
by
the
sun
the
pagan
leopards
the
unrecking
and
unworshipping
things
that
live
and
seek
and
give
no
reasons
for
the
torrid
life
they
feel
the
crew
man
the
crew
are
they
not
one
and
all
with
ahab
in
this
matter
of
the
whale
see
stubb
he
laughs
see
yonder
chilian
he
snorts
to
think
of
it
stand
up
amid
the
general
hurricane
thy
one
tost
sapling
cannot
starbuck
and
what
is
it
reckon
it
tis
but
to
help
strike
a
fin
no
wondrous
feat
for
starbuck
what
is
it
more
from
this
one
poor
hunt
then
the
best
lance
out
of
all
nantucket
surely
he
will
not
hang
back
when
every
foremast
hand
has
clutched
a
whetstone
ah
constrainings
seize
thee
i
see
the
billow
lifts
thee
speak
but
speak
aye
aye
thy
silence
then
that
voices
thee
aside
something
shot
from
my
dilated
nostrils
he
has
inhaled
it
in
his
lungs
starbuck
now
is
mine
cannot
oppose
me
now
without
rebellion
god
keep
me
keep
us
all
murmured
starbuck
lowly
but
in
his
joy
at
the
enchanted
tacit
acquiescence
of
the
mate
ahab
did
not
hear
his
foreboding
invocation
nor
yet
the
low
laugh
from
the
hold
nor
yet
the
presaging
vibrations
of
the
winds
in
the
cordage
nor
yet
the
hollow
flap
of
the
sails
against
the
masts
as
for
a
moment
their
hearts
sank
in
for
again
starbucks
downcast
eyes
lighted
up
with
the
stubbornness
of
life
the
subterranean
laugh
died
away
the
winds
blew
on
the
sails
filled
out
the
ship
heaved
and
rolled
as
before
ah
ye
admonitions
and
warnings
why
stay
ye
not
when
ye
come
but
rather
are
ye
predictions
than
warnings
ye
shadows
yet
not
so
much
predictions
from
without
as
verifications
of
the
foregoing
things
within
for
with
little
external
to
constrain
us
the
innermost
necessities
in
our
being
these
still
drive
us
on
the
measure
the
measure
cried
ahab
receiving
the
brimming
pewter
and
turning
to
the
harpooneers
he
ordered
them
to
produce
their
weapons
then
ranging
them
before
him
near
the
capstan
with
their
harpoons
in
their
hands
while
his
three
mates
stood
at
his
side
with
their
lances
and
the
rest
of
the
ships
company
formed
a
circle
round
the
group
he
stood
for
an
instant
searchingly
eyeing
every
man
of
his
crew
but
those
wild
eyes
met
his
as
the
bloodshot
eyes
of
the
prairie
wolves
meet
the
eye
of
their
leader
ere
he
rushes
on
at
their
head
in
the
trail
of
the
bison
but
alas
only
to
fall
into
the
hidden
snare
of
the
indian
drink
and
pass
he
cried
handing
the
heavy
charged
flagon
to
the
nearest
seaman
the
crew
alone
now
drink
round
with
it
round
short
draughts
long
swallows
men
tis
hot
as
satans
hoof
so
so
it
goes
round
excellently
it
spiralizes
in
ye
forks
out
at
the
serpent
snapping
eye
well
done
almost
drained
that
way
it
went
this
way
it
comes
hand
it
me
heres
a
hollow
men
ye
seem
the
years
so
brimming
life
is
gulped
and
gone
steward
refill
attend
now
my
braves
i
have
mustered
ye
all
round
this
capstan
and
ye
mates
flank
me
with
your
lances
and
ye
harpooneers
stand
there
with
your
irons
and
ye
stout
mariners
ring
me
in
that
i
may
in
some
sort
revive
a
noble
custom
of
my
fisherman
fathers
before
me
o
men
you
will
yet
see
that
ha
boy
come
back
bad
pennies
come
not
sooner
hand
it
me
why
now
this
pewter
had
run
brimming
again
wert
not
thou
st
vitus
imp
away
thou
ague
advance
ye
mates
cross
your
lances
full
before
me
well
done
let
me
touch
the
axis
so
saying
with
extended
arm
he
grasped
the
three
level
radiating
lances
at
their
crossed
centre
while
so
doing
suddenly
and
nervously
twitched
them
meanwhile
glancing
intently
from
starbuck
to
stubb
from
stubb
to
flask
it
seemed
as
though
by
some
nameless
interior
volition
he
would
fain
have
shocked
into
them
the
same
fiery
emotion
accumulated
within
the
leyden
jar
of
his
own
magnetic
life
the
three
mates
quailed
before
his
strong
sustained
and
mystic
aspect
stubb
and
flask
looked
sideways
from
him
the
honest
eye
of
starbuck
fell
downright
in
vain
cried
ahab
but
maybe
tis
well
for
did
ye
three
but
once
take
the
full
forced
shock
then
mine
own
electric
thing
that
had
perhaps
expired
from
out
me
perchance
too
it
would
have
dropped
ye
dead
perchance
ye
need
it
not
down
lances
and
now
ye
mates
i
do
appoint
ye
three
cup
bearers
to
my
three
pagan
kinsmen
there
yon
three
most
honorable
gentlemen
and
noblemen
my
valiant
harpooneers
disdain
the
task
what
when
the
great
pope
washes
the
feet
of
beggars
using
his
tiara
for
ewer
oh
my
sweet
cardinals
your
own
condescension
that
shall
bend
ye
to
it
i
do
not
order
ye
ye
will
it
cut
your
seizings
and
draw
the
poles
ye
harpooneers
silently
obeying
the
order
the
three
harpooneers
now
stood
with
the
detached
iron
part
of
their
harpoons
some
three
feet
long
held
barbs
up
before
him
stab
me
not
with
that
keen
steel
cant
them
cant
them
over
know
ye
not
the
goblet
end
turn
up
the
socket
so
so
now
ye
cup
bearers
advance
the
irons
take
them
hold
them
while
i
fill
forthwith
slowly
going
from
one
officer
to
the
other
he
brimmed
the
harpoon
sockets
with
the
fiery
waters
from
the
pewter
now
three
to
three
ye
stand
commend
the
murderous
chalices
bestow
them
ye
who
are
now
made
parties
to
this
indissoluble
league
ha
starbuck
but
the
deed
is
done
yon
ratifying
sun
now
waits
to
sit
upon
it
drink
ye
harpooneers
drink
and
swear
ye
men
that
man
the
deathful
whaleboats
bow
death
to
moby
dick
god
hunt
us
all
if
we
do
not
hunt
moby
dick
to
his
death
the
long
barbed
steel
goblets
were
lifted
and
to
cries
and
maledictions
against
the
white
whale
the
spirits
were
simultaneously
quaffed
down
with
a
hiss
starbuck
paled
and
turned
and
shivered
once
more
and
finally
the
replenished
pewter
went
the
rounds
among
the
frantic
crew
when
waving
his
free
hand
to
them
they
all
dispersed
and
ahab
retired
within
his
cabin
the
cabin
by
the
stern
windows
ahab
sitting
alone
and
gazing
out
i
leave
a
white
and
turbid
wake
pale
waters
paler
cheeks
whereer
i
sail
the
envious
billows
sidelong
swell
to
whelm
my
track
let
them
but
first
i
pass
yonder
by
the
ever
brimming
goblets
rim
the
warm
waves
blush
like
wine
the
gold
brow
plumbs
the
blue
the
diver
sun
slow
dived
from
noon
goes
down
my
soul
mounts
up
she
wearies
with
her
endless
hill
is
then
the
crown
too
heavy
that
i
wear
this
iron
crown
of
lombardy
yet
is
it
bright
with
many
a
gem
i
the
wearer
see
not
its
far
flashings
but
darkly
feel
that
i
wear
that
that
dazzlingly
confounds
tis
iron
that
i
know
not
gold
tis
split
too
that
i
feel
the
jagged
edge
galls
me
so
my
brain
seems
to
beat
against
the
solid
metal
aye
steel
skull
mine
the
sort
that
needs
no
helmet
in
the
most
brain
battering
fight
dry
heat
upon
my
brow
oh
time
was
when
as
the
sunrise
nobly
spurred
me
so
the
sunset
soothed
no
more
this
lovely
light
it
lights
not
me
all
loveliness
is
anguish
to
me
since
i
can
neer
enjoy
gifted
with
the
high
perception
i
lack
the
low
enjoying
power
damned
most
subtly
and
most
malignantly
damned
in
the
midst
of
paradise
good
night
good
night
waving
his
hand
he
moves
from
the
window
twas
not
so
hard
a
task
i
thought
to
find
one
stubborn
at
the
least
but
my
one
cogged
circle
fits
into
all
their
various
wheels
and
they
revolve
or
if
you
will
like
so
many
ant
hills
of
powder
they
all
stand
before
me
and
i
their
match
oh
hard
that
to
fire
others
the
match
itself
must
needs
be
wasting
what
ive
dared
ive
willed
and
what
ive
willed
ill
do
they
think
me
mad
starbuck
does
but
im
demoniac
i
am
madness
maddened
that
wild
madness
thats
only
calm
to
comprehend
itself
the
prophecy
was
that
i
should
be
dismembered
and
aye
i
lost
this
leg
i
now
prophesy
that
i
will
dismember
my
dismemberer
now
then
be
the
prophet
and
the
fulfiller
one
thats
more
than
ye
ye
great
gods
ever
were
i
laugh
and
hoot
at
ye
ye
cricket
players
ye
pugilists
ye
deaf
burkes
and
blinded
bendigoes
i
will
not
say
as
school
boys
do
to
bullies
take
some
one
of
your
own
size
dont
pommel
me
no
yeve
knocked
me
down
and
i
am
up
again
but
ye
have
run
and
hidden
come
forth
from
behind
your
cotton
bags
i
have
no
long
gun
to
reach

ahabs
compliments
to
ye

can
swerve

ye
cannot
swerve

else
ye
swerve
yourselves
man
has
ye
there
swerve
me
the
path
to
my
fixed
purpose
is
laid
with
iron
rails
whereon
my
soul
is
grooved
to
run
over
unsounded
gorges
through
the
rifled
hearts
of
mountains
under
torrents
beds
unerringly
i
rush
naughts
an
obstacle
naughts
an
angle
to
the
iron
way
by
the
mainmast
starbuck
leaning
against
it
my
soul
is
more
than
matched
shes
overmanned
and
by
a
madman
insufferable
sting
that
sanity
should
ground
arms
on
such
a
field
but
he
drilled
deep
down
and
blasted
all
my
reason
out
of
me
i
think
i
see
his
impious
end
but
feel
that
i
must
help
him
to
it
will
i
nill
i
the
ineffable
thing
has
tied
me
to
him
tows
me
with
a
cable
i
have
no
knife
to
cut
horrible
old
man
whos
over
him
he
cries
aye
he
would
be
a
democrat
to
all
above
look
how
he
lords
it
over
all
below
oh
i
plainly
see
my
miserable
office
to
obey
rebelling
and
worse
yet
to
hate
with
touch
of
pity
for
in
his
eyes
i
read
some
lurid
woe
would
shrivel
me
up
had
i
it
yet
is
there
hope
time
and
tide
flow
wide
the
hated
whale
has
the
round
watery
world
to
swim
in
as
the
small
gold
fish
has
its
glassy
globe
his
heaven
insulting
purpose
god
may
wedge
aside
i
would
up
heart
were
it
not
like
lead
but
my
whole
clocks
run
down
my
heart
the
all
controlling
weight
i
have
no
key
to
lift
again
a
burst
of
revelry
from
the
forecastle
oh
god
to
sail
with
such
a
heathen
crew
that
have
small
touch
of
human
mothers
in
them
whelped
somewhere
by
the
sharkish
sea
the
white
whale
is
their
demigorgon
hark
the
infernal
orgies
that
revelry
is
forward
mark
the
unfaltering
silence
aft
methinks
it
pictures
life
foremost
through
the
sparkling
sea
shoots
on
the
gay
embattled
bantering
bow
but
only
to
drag
dark
ahab
after
it
where
he
broods
within
his
sternward
cabin
builded
over
the
dead
water
of
the
wake
and
further
on
hunted
by
its
wolfish
gurglings
the
long
howl
thrills
me
through
peace
ye
revellers
and
set
the
watch
oh
life
tis
in
an
hour
like
this
with
soul
beat
down
and
held
to
knowledge
as
wild
untutored
things
are
forced
to
feed
oh
life
tis
now
that
i
do
feel
the
latent
horror
in
thee
but
tis
not
me
that
horrors
out
of
me
and
with
the
soft
feeling
of
the
human
in
me
yet
will
i
try
to
fight

ye
grim
phantom
futures

i
shouted
and
more
did
i
hammer
and
clinch
my
oath
because
of
the
dread
in
my
soul
a
wild
mystical
sympathetical
feeling
was
in
me
ahabs
quenchless
feud
seemed
mine
with
greedy
ears
i
learned
the
history
of
that
murderous
monster
against
whom
i
and
all
the
others
had
taken
our
oaths
of
violence
and
revenge
for
some
time
past
though
at
intervals
only
the
unaccompanied
secluded
white
whale
had
haunted
those
uncivilized
seas
mostly
frequented
by
the
sperm
whale
fishermen
but
not
all
of
them
knew
of
his
existence
only
a
few
of
them
comparatively
had
knowingly
seen
him
while
the
number
who
as
yet
had
actually
and
knowingly
given
battle
to
him
was
small
indeed
for
owing
to
the
large
number
of
whale
cruisers
the
disorderly
way
they
were
sprinkled
over
the
entire
watery
circumference
many
of
them
adventurously
pushing
their
quest
along
solitary
latitudes
so
as
seldom
or
never
for
a
whole
twelvemonth
or
more
on
a
stretch
to
encounter
a
single
news
telling
sail
of
any
sort
the
inordinate
length
of
each
separate
voyage
the
irregularity
of
the
times
of
sailing
from
home
all
these
with
other
circumstances
direct
and
indirect
long
obstructed
the
spread
through
the
whole
world
wide
whaling
fleet
of
the
special
individualizing
tidings
concerning
moby
dick
it
was
hardly
to
be
doubted
that
several
vessels
reported
to
have
encountered
at
such
or
such
a
time
or
on
such
or
such
a
meridian
a
sperm
whale
of
uncommon
magnitude
and
malignity
which
whale
after
doing
great
mischief
to
his
assailants
had
completely
escaped
them
to
some
minds
it
was
not
an
unfair
presumption
i
say
that
the
whale
in
question
must
have
been
no
other
than
moby
dick
yet
as
of
late
the
sperm
whale
fishery
had
been
marked
by
various
and
not
unfrequent
instances
of
great
ferocity
cunning
and
malice
in
the
monster
attacked
therefore
it
was
that
those
who
by
accident
ignorantly
gave
battle
to
moby
dick
such
hunters
perhaps
for
the
most
part
were
content
to
ascribe
the
peculiar
terror
he
bred
more
as
it
were
to
the
perils
of
the
sperm
whale
fishery
at
large
than
to
the
individual
cause
in
that
way
mostly
the
disastrous
encounter
between
ahab
and
the
whale
had
hitherto
been
popularly
regarded
and
as
for
those
who
previously
hearing
of
the
white
whale
by
chance
caught
sight
of
him
in
the
beginning
of
the
thing
they
had
every
one
of
them
almost
as
boldly
and
fearlessly
lowered
for
him
as
for
any
other
whale
of
that
species
but
at
length
such
calamities
did
ensue
in
these
assaults
not
restricted
to
sprained
wrists
and
ancles
broken
limbs
or
devouring
amputations
but
fatal
to
the
last
degree
of
fatality
those
repeated
disastrous
repulses
all
accumulating
and
piling
their
terrors
upon
moby
dick
those
things
had
gone
far
to
shake
the
fortitude
of
many
brave
hunters
to
whom
the
story
of
the
white
whale
had
eventually
come
nor
did
wild
rumors
of
all
sorts
fail
to
exaggerate
and
still
the
more
horrify
the
true
histories
of
these
deadly
encounters
for
not
only
do
fabulous
rumors
naturally
grow
out
of
the
very
body
of
all
surprising
terrible
events
as
the
smitten
tree
gives
birth
to
its
fungi
but
in
maritime
life
far
more
than
in
that
of
terra
firma
wild
rumors
abound
wherever
there
is
any
adequate
reality
for
them
to
cling
to
and
as
the
sea
surpasses
the
land
in
this
matter
so
the
whale
fishery
surpasses
every
other
sort
of
maritime
life
in
the
wonderfulness
and
fearfulness
of
the
rumors
which
sometimes
circulate
there
for
not
only
are
whalemen
as
a
body
unexempt
from
that
ignorance
and
superstitiousness
hereditary
to
all
sailors
but
of
all
sailors
they
are
by
all
odds
the
most
directly
brought
into
contact
with
whatever
is
appallingly
astonishing
in
the
sea
face
to
face
they
not
only
eye
its
greatest
marvels
but
hand
to
jaw
give
battle
to
them
alone
in
such
remotest
waters
that
though
you
sailed
a
thousand
miles
and
passed
a
thousand
shores
you
would
not
come
to
any
chiselled
hearthstone
or
aught
hospitable
beneath
that
part
of
the
sun
in
such
latitudes
and
longitudes
pursuing
too
such
a
calling
as
he
does
the
whaleman
is
wrapped
by
influences
all
tending
to
make
his
fancy
pregnant
with
many
a
mighty
birth
no
wonder
then
that
ever
gathering
volume
from
the
mere
transit
over
the
widest
watery
spaces
the
outblown
rumors
of
the
white
whale
did
in
the
end
incorporate
with
themselves
all
manner
of
morbid
hints
and
half
formed
foetal
suggestions
of
supernatural
agencies
which
eventually
invested
moby
dick
with
new
terrors
unborrowed
from
anything
that
visibly
appears
so
that
in
many
cases
such
a
panic
did
he
finally
strike
that
few
who
by
those
rumors
at
least
had
heard
of
the
white
whale
few
of
those
hunters
were
willing
to
encounter
the
perils
of
his
jaw
but
there
were
still
other
and
more
vital
practical
influences
at
work
not
even
at
the
present
day
has
the
original
prestige
of
the
sperm
whale
as
fearfully
distinguished
from
all
other
species
of
the
leviathan
died
out
of
the
minds
of
the
whalemen
as
a
body
there
are
those
this
day
among
them
who
though
intelligent
and
courageous
enough
in
offering
battle
to
the
greenland
or
right
whale
would
perhaps
either
from
professional
inexperience
or
incompetency
or
timidity
decline
a
contest
with
the
sperm
whale
at
any
rate
there
are
plenty
of
whalemen
especially
among
those
whaling
nations
not
sailing
under
the
american
flag
who
have
never
hostilely
encountered
the
sperm
whale
but
whose
sole
knowledge
of
the
leviathan
is
restricted
to
the
ignoble
monster
primitively
pursued
in
the
north
seated
on
their
hatches
these
men
will
hearken
with
a
childish
fire
side
interest
and
awe
to
the
wild
strange
tales
of
southern
whaling
nor
is
the
pre
eminent
tremendousness
of
the
great
sperm
whale
anywhere
more
feelingly
comprehended
than
on
board
of
those
prows
which
stem
him
and
as
if
the
now
tested
reality
of
his
might
had
in
former
legendary
times
thrown
its
shadow
before
it
we
find
some
book
naturalists
olassen
and
povelson
declaring
the
sperm
whale
not
only
to
be
a
consternation
to
every
other
creature
in
the
sea
but
also
to
be
so
incredibly
ferocious
as
continually
to
be
athirst
for
human
blood
nor
even
down
to
so
late
a
time
as
cuviers
were
these
or
almost
similar
impressions
effaced
for
in
his
natural
history
the
baron
himself
affirms
that
at
sight
of
the
sperm
whale
all
fish
sharks
included
are
struck
with
the
most
lively
terrors
and
often
in
the
precipitancy
of
their
flight
dash
themselves
against
the
rocks
with
such
violence
as
to
cause
instantaneous
death
and
however
the
general
experiences
in
the
fishery
may
amend
such
reports
as
these
yet
in
their
full
terribleness
even
to
the
bloodthirsty
item
of
povelson
the
superstitious
belief
in
them
is
in
some
vicissitudes
of
their
vocation
revived
in
the
minds
of
the
hunters
so
that
overawed
by
the
rumors
and
portents
concerning
him
not
a
few
of
the
fishermen
recalled
in
reference
to
moby
dick
the
earlier
days
of
the
sperm
whale
fishery
when
it
was
oftentimes
hard
to
induce
long
practised
right
whalemen
to
embark
in
the
perils
of
this
new
and
daring
warfare
such
men
protesting
that
although
other
leviathans
might
be
hopefully
pursued
yet
to
chase
and
point
lance
at
such
an
apparition
as
the
sperm
whale
was
not
for
mortal
man
that
to
attempt
it
would
be
inevitably
to
be
torn
into
a
quick
eternity
on
this
head
there
are
some
remarkable
documents
that
may
be
consulted
nevertheless
some
there
were
who
even
in
the
face
of
these
things
were
ready
to
give
chase
to
moby
dick
and
a
still
greater
number
who
chancing
only
to
hear
of
him
distantly
and
vaguely
without
the
specific
details
of
any
certain
calamity
and
without
superstitious
accompaniments
were
sufficiently
hardy
not
to
flee
from
the
battle
if
offered
one
of
the
wild
suggestings
referred
to
as
at
last
coming
to
be
linked
with
the
white
whale
in
the
minds
of
the
superstitiously
inclined
was
the
unearthly
conceit
that
moby
dick
was
ubiquitous
that
he
had
actually
been
encountered
in
opposite
latitudes
at
one
and
the
same
instant
of
time
nor
credulous
as
such
minds
must
have
been
was
this
conceit
altogether
without
some
faint
show
of
superstitious
probability
for
as
the
secrets
of
the
currents
in
the
seas
have
never
yet
been
divulged
even
to
the
most
erudite
research
so
the
hidden
ways
of
the
sperm
whale
when
beneath
the
surface
remain
in
great
part
unaccountable
to
his
pursuers
and
from
time
to
time
have
originated
the
most
curious
and
contradictory
speculations
regarding
them
especially
concerning
the
mystic
modes
whereby
after
sounding
to
a
great
depth
he
transports
himself
with
such
vast
swiftness
to
the
most
widely
distant
points
it
is
a
thing
well
known
to
both
american
and
english
whale
ships
and
as
well
a
thing
placed
upon
authoritative
record
years
ago
by
scoresby
that
some
whales
have
been
captured
far
north
in
the
pacific
in
whose
bodies
have
been
found
the
barbs
of
harpoons
darted
in
the
greenland
seas
nor
is
it
to
be
gainsaid
that
in
some
of
these
instances
it
has
been
declared
that
the
interval
of
time
between
the
two
assaults
could
not
have
exceeded
very
many
days
hence
by
inference
it
has
been
believed
by
some
whalemen
that
the
nor
west
passage
so
long
a
problem
to
man
was
never
a
problem
to
the
whale
so
that
here
in
the
real
living
experience
of
living
men
the
prodigies
related
in
old
times
of
the
inland
strello
mountain
in
portugal
near
whose
top
there
was
said
to
be
a
lake
in
which
the
wrecks
of
ships
floated
up
to
the
surface
and
that
still
more
wonderful
story
of
the
arethusa
fountain
near
syracuse
whose
waters
were
believed
to
have
come
from
the
holy
land
by
an
underground
passage
these
fabulous
narrations
are
almost
fully
equalled
by
the
realities
of
the
whaleman
forced
into
familiarity
then
with
such
prodigies
as
these
and
knowing
that
after
repeated
intrepid
assaults
the
white
whale
had
escaped
alive
it
cannot
be
much
matter
of
surprise
that
some
whalemen
should
go
still
further
in
their
superstitions
declaring
moby
dick
not
only
ubiquitous
but
immortal
for
immortality
is
but
ubiquity
in
time
that
though
groves
of
spears
should
be
planted
in
his
flanks
he
would
still
swim
away
unharmed
or
if
indeed
he
should
ever
be
made
to
spout
thick
blood
such
a
sight
would
be
but
a
ghastly
deception
for
again
in
unensanguined
billows
hundreds
of
leagues
away
his
unsullied
jet
would
once
more
be
seen
but
even
stripped
of
these
supernatural
surmisings
there
was
enough
in
the
earthly
make
and
incontestable
character
of
the
monster
to
strike
the
imagination
with
unwonted
power
for
it
was
not
so
much
his
uncommon
bulk
that
so
much
distinguished
him
from
other
sperm
whales
but
as
was
elsewhere
thrown
out
a
peculiar
snow
white
wrinkled
forehead
and
a
high
pyramidical
white
hump
these
were
his
prominent
features
the
tokens
whereby
even
in
the
limitless
uncharted
seas
he
revealed
his
identity
at
a
long
distance
to
those
who
knew
him
the
rest
of
his
body
was
so
streaked
and
spotted
and
marbled
with
the
same
shrouded
hue
that
in
the
end
he
had
gained
his
distinctive
appellation
of
the
white
whale
a
name
indeed
literally
justified
by
his
vivid
aspect
when
seen
gliding
at
high
noon
through
a
dark
blue
sea
leaving
a
milky
way
wake
of
creamy
foam
all
spangled
with
golden
gleamings
nor
was
it
his
unwonted
magnitude
nor
his
remarkable
hue
nor
yet
his
deformed
lower
jaw
that
so
much
invested
the
whale
with
natural
terror
as
that
unexampled
intelligent
malignity
which
according
to
specific
accounts
he
had
over
and
over
again
evinced
in
his
assaults
more
than
all
his
treacherous
retreats
struck
more
of
dismay
than
perhaps
aught
else
for
when
swimming
before
his
exulting
pursuers
with
every
apparent
symptom
of
alarm
he
had
several
times
been
known
to
turn
around
suddenly
and
bearing
down
upon
them
either
stave
their
boats
to
splinters
or
drive
them
back
in
consternation
to
their
ship
already
several
fatalities
had
attended
his
chase
but
though
similar
disasters
however
little
bruited
ashore
were
by
no
means
unusual
in
the
fishery
yet
in
most
instances
such
seemed
the
white
whales
infernal
aforethought
of
ferocity
that
every
dismembering
or
death
that
he
caused
was
not
wholly
regarded
as
having
been
inflicted
by
an
unintelligent
agent
judge
then
to
what
pitches
of
inflamed
distracted
fury
the
minds
of
his
more
desperate
hunters
were
impelled
when
amid
the
chips
of
chewed
boats
and
the
sinking
limbs
of
torn
comrades
they
swam
out
of
the
white
curds
of
the
whales
direful
wrath
into
the
serene
exasperating
sunlight
that
smiled
on
as
if
at
a
birth
or
a
bridal
his
three
boats
stove
around
him
and
oars
and
men
both
whirling
in
the
eddies
one
captain
seizing
the
line
knife
from
his
broken
prow
had
dashed
at
the
whale
as
an
arkansas
duellist
at
his
foe
blindly
seeking
with
a
six
inch
blade
to
reach
the
fathom
deep
life
of
the
whale
that
captain
was
ahab
and
then
it
was
that
suddenly
sweeping
his
sickle
shaped
lower
jaw
beneath
him
moby
dick
had
reaped
away
ahabs
leg
as
a
mower
a
blade
of
grass
in
the
field
no
turbaned
turk
no
hired
venetian
or
malay
could
have
smote
him
with
more
seeming
malice
small
reason
was
there
to
doubt
then
that
ever
since
that
almost
fatal
encounter
ahab
had
cherished
a
wild
vindictiveness
against
the
whale
all
the
more
fell
for
that
in
his
frantic
morbidness
he
at
last
came
to
identify
with
him
not
only
all
his
bodily
woes
but
all
his
intellectual
and
spiritual
exasperations
the
white
whale
swam
before
him
as
the
monomaniac
incarnation
of
all
those
malicious
agencies
which
some
deep
men
feel
eating
in
them
till
they
are
left
living
on
with
half
a
heart
and
half
a
lung
that
intangible
malignity
which
has
been
from
the
beginning
to
whose
dominion
even
the
modern
christians
ascribe
one
half
of
the
worlds
which
the
ancient
ophites
of
the
east
reverenced
in
their
statue
devil
ahab
did
not
fall
down
and
worship
it
like
them
but
deliriously
transferring
its
idea
to
the
abhorred
white
whale
he
pitted
himself
all
mutilated
against
it
all
that
most
maddens
and
torments
all
that
stirs
up
the
lees
of
things
all
truth
with
malice
in
it
all
that
cracks
the
sinews
and
cakes
the
brain
all
the
subtle
demonisms
of
life
and
thought
all
evil
to
crazy
ahab
were
visibly
personified
and
made
practically
assailable
in
moby
dick
he
piled
upon
the
whales
white
hump
the
sum
of
all
the
general
rage
and
hate
felt
by
his
whole
race
from
adam
down
and
then
as
if
his
chest
had
been
a
mortar
he
burst
his
hot
hearts
shell
upon
it
it
is
not
probable
that
this
monomania
in
him
took
its
instant
rise
at
the
precise
time
of
his
bodily
dismemberment
then
in
darting
at
the
monster
knife
in
hand
he
had
but
given
loose
to
a
sudden
passionate
corporal
animosity
and
when
he
received
the
stroke
that
tore
him
he
probably
but
felt
the
agonizing
bodily
laceration
but
nothing
more
yet
when
by
this
collision
forced
to
turn
towards
home
and
for
long
months
of
days
and
weeks
ahab
and
anguish
lay
stretched
together
in
one
hammock
rounding
in
mid
winter
that
dreary
howling
patagonian
cape
then
it
was
that
his
torn
body
and
gashed
soul
bled
into
one
another
and
so
interfusing
made
him
mad
that
it
was
only
then
on
the
homeward
voyage
after
the
encounter
that
the
final
monomania
seized
him
seems
all
but
certain
from
the
fact
that
at
intervals
during
the
passage
he
was
a
raving
lunatic
and
though
unlimbed
of
a
leg
yet
such
vital
strength
yet
lurked
in
his
egyptian
chest
and
was
moreover
intensified
by
his
delirium
that
his
mates
were
forced
to
lace
him
fast
even
there
as
he
sailed
raving
in
his
hammock
in
a
strait
jacket
he
swung
to
the
mad
rockings
of
the
gales
and
when
running
into
more
sufferable
latitudes
the
ship
with
mild
stunsails
spread
floated
across
the
tranquil
tropics
and
to
all
appearances
the
old
mans
delirium
seemed
left
behind
him
with
the
cape
horn
swells
and
he
came
forth
from
his
dark
den
into
the
blessed
light
and
air
even
then
when
he
bore
that
firm
collected
front
however
pale
and
issued
his
calm
orders
once
again
and
his
mates
thanked
god
the
direful
madness
was
now
gone
even
then
ahab
in
his
hidden
self
raved
on
human
madness
is
oftentimes
a
cunning
and
most
feline
thing
when
you
think
it
fled
it
may
have
but
become
transfigured
into
some
still
subtler
form
ahabs
full
lunacy
subsided
not
but
deepeningly
contracted
like
the
unabated
hudson
when
that
noble
northman
flows
narrowly
but
unfathomably
through
the
highland
gorge
but
as
in
his
narrow
flowing
monomania
not
one
jot
of
ahabs
broad
madness
had
been
left
behind
so
in
that
broad
madness
not
one
jot
of
his
great
natural
intellect
had
perished
that
before
living
agent
now
became
the
living
instrument
if
such
a
furious
trope
may
stand
his
special
lunacy
stormed
his
general
sanity
and
carried
it
and
turned
all
its
concentred
cannon
upon
its
own
mad
mark
so
that
far
from
having
lost
his
strength
ahab
to
that
one
end
did
now
possess
a
thousand
fold
more
potency
than
ever
he
had
sanely
brought
to
bear
upon
any
one
reasonable
object
this
is
much
yet
ahabs
larger
darker
deeper
part
remains
unhinted
but
vain
to
popularize
profundities
and
all
truth
is
profound
winding
far
down
from
within
the
very
heart
of
this
spiked
hotel
de
cluny
where
we
here
stand
however
grand
and
wonderful
now
quit
it
and
take
your
way
ye
nobler
sadder
souls
to
those
vast
roman
halls
of
thermes
where
far
beneath
the
fantastic
towers
of
mans
upper
earth
his
root
of
grandeur
his
whole
awful
essence
sits
in
bearded
state
an
antique
buried
beneath
antiquities
and
throned
on
torsoes
so
with
a
broken
throne
the
great
gods
mock
that
captive
king
so
like
a
caryatid
he
patient
sits
upholding
on
his
frozen
brow
the
piled
entablatures
of
ages
wind
ye
down
there
ye
prouder
sadder
souls
question
that
proud
sad
king
a
family
likeness
aye
he
did
beget
ye
ye
young
exiled
royalties
and
from
your
grim
sire
only
will
the
old
state
secret
come
now
in
his
heart
ahab
had
some
glimpse
of
this
namely
all
my
means
are
sane
my
motive
and
my
object
mad
yet
without
power
to
kill
or
change
or
shun
the
fact
he
likewise
knew
that
to
mankind
he
did
now
long
dissemble
in
some
sort
did
still
but
that
thing
of
his
dissembling
was
only
subject
to
his
perceptibility
not
to
his
will
determinate
nevertheless
so
well
did
he
succeed
in
that
dissembling
that
when
with
ivory
leg
he
stepped
ashore
at
last
no
nantucketer
thought
him
otherwise
than
but
naturally
grieved
and
that
to
the
quick
with
the
terrible
casualty
which
had
overtaken
him
the
report
of
his
undeniable
delirium
at
sea
was
likewise
popularly
ascribed
to
a
kindred
cause
and
so
too
all
the
added
moodiness
which
always
afterwards
to
the
very
day
of
sailing
in
the
pequod
on
the
present
voyage
sat
brooding
on
his
brow
nor
is
it
so
very
unlikely
that
far
from
distrusting
his
fitness
for
another
whaling
voyage
on
account
of
such
dark
symptoms
the
calculating
people
of
that
prudent
isle
were
inclined
to
harbor
the
conceit
that
for
those
very
reasons
he
was
all
the
better
qualified
and
set
on
edge
for
a
pursuit
so
full
of
rage
and
wildness
as
the
bloody
hunt
of
whales
gnawed
within
and
scorched
without
with
the
infixed
unrelenting
fangs
of
some
incurable
idea
such
an
one
could
he
be
found
would
seem
the
very
man
to
dart
his
iron
and
lift
his
lance
against
the
most
appalling
of
all
brutes
or
if
for
any
reason
thought
to
be
corporeally
incapacitated
for
that
yet
such
an
one
would
seem
superlatively
competent
to
cheer
and
howl
on
his
underlings
to
the
attack
but
be
all
this
as
it
may
certain
it
is
that
with
the
mad
secret
of
his
unabated
rage
bolted
up
and
keyed
in
him
ahab
had
purposely
sailed
upon
the
present
voyage
with
the
one
only
and
all
engrossing
object
of
hunting
the
white
whale
had
any
one
of
his
old
acquaintances
on
shore
but
half
dreamed
of
what
was
lurking
in
him
then
how
soon
would
their
aghast
and
righteous
souls
have
wrenched
the
ship
from
such
a
fiendish
man
they
were
bent
on
profitable
cruises
the
profit
to
be
counted
down
in
dollars
from
the
mint
he
was
intent
on
an
audacious
immitigable
and
supernatural
revenge
here
then
was
this
grey
headed
ungodly
old
man
chasing
with
curses
a
jobs
whale
round
the
world
at
the
head
of
a
crew
too
chiefly
made
up
of
mongrel
renegades
and
castaways
and
cannibals
morally
enfeebled
also
by
the
incompetence
of
mere
unaided
virtue
or
right
mindedness
in
starbuck
the
invulnerable
jollity
of
indifference
and
recklessness
in
stubb
and
the
pervading
mediocrity
in
flask
such
a
crew
so
officered
seemed
specially
picked
and
packed
by
some
infernal
fatality
to
help
him
to
his
monomaniac
revenge
how
it
was
that
they
so
aboundingly
responded
to
the
old
mans
ire
by
what
evil
magic
their
souls
were
possessed
that
at
times
his
hate
seemed
almost
theirs
the
white
whale
as
much
their
insufferable
foe
as
his
how
all
this
came
to
be
what
the
white
whale
was
to
them
or
how
to
their
unconscious
understandings
also
in
some
dim
unsuspected
way
he
might
have
seemed
the
gliding
great
demon
of
the
seas
of
life
all
this
to
explain
would
be
to
dive
deeper
than
ishmael
can
go
the
subterranean
miner
that
works
in
us
all
how
can
one
tell
whither
leads
his
shaft
by
the
ever
shifting
muffled
sound
of
his
pick
who
does
not
feel
the
irresistible
arm
drag
what
skiff
in
tow
of
a
seventy
four
can
stand
still
for
one
i
gave
myself
up
to
the
abandonment
of
the
time
and
the
place
but
while
yet
all
a
rush
to
encounter
the
whale
could
see
naught
in
that
brute
but
the
deadliest
ill
what
the
white
whale
was
to
ahab
has
been
hinted
what
at
times
he
was
to
me
as
yet
remains
unsaid
aside
from
those
more
obvious
considerations
touching
moby
dick
which
could
not
but
occasionally
awaken
in
any
mans
soul
some
alarm
there
was
another
thought
or
rather
vague
nameless
horror
concerning
him
which
at
times
by
its
intensity
completely
overpowered
all
the
rest
and
yet
so
mystical
and
well
nigh
ineffable
was
it
that
i
almost
despair
of
putting
it
in
a
comprehensible
form
it
was
the
whiteness
of
the
whale
that
above
all
things
appalled
me
but
how
can
i
hope
to
explain
myself
here
and
yet
in
some
dim
random
way
explain
myself
i
must
else
all
these
chapters
might
be
naught
though
in
many
natural
objects
whiteness
refiningly
enhances
beauty
as
if
imparting
some
special
virtue
of
its
own
as
in
marbles
japonicas
and
pearls
and
though
various
nations
have
in
some
way
recognised
a
certain
royal
pre
eminence
in
this
hue
even
the
barbaric
grand
old
kings
of
pegu
placing
the
title
lord
of
the
white
elephants
above
all
their
other
magniloquent
ascriptions
of
dominion
and
the
modern
kings
of
siam
unfurling
the
same
snow
white
quadruped
in
the
royal
standard
and
the
hanoverian
flag
bearing
the
one
figure
of
a
snow
white
charger
and
the
great
austrian
empire
caesarian
heir
to
overlording
rome
having
for
the
imperial
color
the
same
imperial
hue
and
though
this
pre
eminence
in
it
applies
to
the
human
race
itself
giving
the
white
man
ideal
mastership
over
every
dusky
tribe
and
though
besides
all
this
whiteness
has
been
even
made
significant
of
gladness
for
among
the
romans
a
white
stone
marked
a
joyful
day
and
though
in
other
mortal
sympathies
and
symbolizings
this
same
hue
is
made
the
emblem
of
many
touching
noble
things
the
innocence
of
brides
the
benignity
of
age
though
among
the
red
men
of
america
the
giving
of
the
white
belt
of
wampum
was
the
deepest
pledge
of
honor
though
in
many
climes
whiteness
typifies
the
majesty
of
justice
in
the
ermine
of
the
judge
and
contributes
to
the
daily
state
of
kings
and
queens
drawn
by
milk
white
steeds
though
even
in
the
higher
mysteries
of
the
most
august
religions
it
has
been
made
the
symbol
of
the
divine
spotlessness
and
power
by
the
persian
fire
worshippers
the

holiest
on

in

mythologies
great
jove
himself

incarnate
in
a

white
bull
and
though
to
the
noble
iroquois
the
midwinter
sacrifice
of
the
sacred
white
dog
was
by
far
the
holiest
festival
of
their
theology
that
spotless
faithful
creature
being
held
the
purest
envoy
they
could
send
to
the
great
spirit
with
the
annual
tidings
of
their

from

derive

holy
pomps

is

employed
in

celebration
of
the
passion
of
our
lord

that
sitteth
there
white
like
wool
yet
for
all
these
accumulated
associations
with
whatever
is
sweet
and
honorable
and
sublime
there
yet
lurks
an
elusive
something
in
the
innermost
idea
of
this
hue
which
strikes
more
of
panic
to
the
soul
than
that
redness
which
affrights
in
blood
this
elusive
quality
it
is
which
causes
the
thought
of
whiteness
when
divorced
from
more
kindly
associations
and
coupled
with
any
object
terrible
in
itself
to
heighten
that
terror
to
the
furthest
bounds
witness
the
white
bear
of
the
poles
and
the
white
shark
of
the
tropics
what
but
their
smooth
flaky
whiteness
makes
them
the
transcendent
horrors
they
are
that
ghastly
whiteness
it
is
which
imparts
such
an
abhorrent
mildness
even
more
loathsome
than
terrific
to
the
dumb
gloating
of
their
aspect
so
that
not
the
fierce
fanged
tiger
in
his
heraldic
coat
can
so
stagger
courage
as
the
white
shrouded
bear
or
shark
bethink
thee
of
the
albatross
whence
come
those
clouds
of
spiritual
wonderment
and
pale
dread
in
which
that
white
phantom
sails
in
all
imaginations
not
coleridge
first
threw
that
spell
but
gods
great
unflattering
laureate
nature
most
famous
in
our
western
annals
and
indian
traditions
is
that
of
the
white
steed
of
the
prairies
a
magnificent
milk
white
charger
large
eyed
small
headed
bluff
chested
and
with
the
dignity
of
a
thousand
monarchs
in
his
lofty
overscorning
carriage
he
was
the
elected
xerxes
of
vast
herds
of
wild
horses
whose
pastures
in
those
days
were
only
fenced
by
the
rocky
mountains
and
the
alleghanies
at
their
flaming
head
he
westward
trooped
it
like
that
chosen
star
which
every
evening
leads
on
the
hosts
of
light
the
flashing
cascade
of
his
mane
the
curving
comet
of
his
tail
invested
him
with
housings
more
resplendent
than
gold
and
silver
beaters
could
have
furnished
him
a
most
imperial
and
archangelical
apparition
of
that
unfallen
western
world
which
to
the
eyes
of
the
old
trappers
and
hunters
revived
the
glories
of
those
primeval
times
when
adam
walked
majestic
as
a
god
bluff
bowed
and
fearless
as
this
mighty
steed
whether
marching
amid
his
aides
and
marshals
in
the
van
of
countless
cohorts
that
endlessly
streamed
it
over
the
plains
like
an
ohio
or
whether
with
his
circumambient
subjects
browsing
all
around
at
the
horizon
the
white
steed
gallopingly
reviewed
them
with
warm
nostrils
reddening
through
his
cool
milkiness
in
whatever
aspect
he
presented
himself
always
to
the
bravest
indians
he
was
the
object
of
trembling
reverence
and
awe
nor
can
it
be
questioned
from
what
stands
on
legendary
record
of
this
noble
horse
that
it
was
his
spiritual
whiteness
chiefly
which
so
clothed
him
with
divineness
and
that
this
divineness
had
that
in
it
which
though
commanding
worship
at
the
same
time
enforced
a
certain
nameless
terror
but
there
are
other
instances
where
this
whiteness
loses
all
that
accessory
and
strange
glory
which
invests
it
in
the
white
steed
and
albatross
what
is
it
that
in
the
albino
man
so
peculiarly
repels
and
often
shocks
the
eye
as
that
sometimes
he
is
loathed
by
his
own
kith
and
kin
it
is
that
whiteness
which
invests
him
a
thing
expressed
by
the
name
he
bears
the
albino
is
as
well
made
as
other
men
has
no
substantive
deformity
and
yet
this
mere
aspect
of
all
pervading
whiteness
makes
him
more
strangely
hideous
than
the
ugliest
abortion
why
should
this
be
so
nor
in
quite
other
aspects
does
nature
in
her
least
palpable
but
not
the
less
malicious
agencies
fail
to
enlist
among
her
forces
this
crowning
attribute
of
the
terrible
from
its
snowy
aspect
the
gauntleted
ghost
of
the
southern
seas
has
been
denominated
the
white
squall
nor
in
some
historic
instances
has
the
art
of
human
malice
omitted
so
potent
an
auxiliary
how
wildly
it
heightens
the
effect
of
that
passage
in
froissart
when
masked
in
the
snowy
symbol
of
their
faction
the
desperate
white
hoods
of
ghent
murder
their
bailiff
in
the
market
place
nor
in
some
things
does
the
common
hereditary
experience
of
all
mankind
fail
to
bear
witness
to
the
supernaturalism
of
this
hue
it
cannot
well
be
doubted
that
the
one
visible
quality
in
the
aspect
of
the
dead
which
most
appals
the
gazer
is
the
marble
pallor
lingering
there
as
if
indeed
that
pallor
were
as
much
like
the
badge
of
consternation
in
the
other
world
as
of
mortal
trepidation
here
and
from
that
pallor
of
the
dead
we
borrow
the
expressive
hue
of
the
shroud
in
which
we
wrap
them
nor
even
in
our
superstitions
do
we
fail
to
throw
the
same
snowy
mantle
round
our
phantoms
all
ghosts
rising
in
a
milk
white
fog
yea
while
these
terrors
seize
us
let
us
add
that
even
the
king
of
terrors
when
personified
by
the
evangelist
rides
on
his
pallid
horse
therefore
in
his
other
moods
symbolize
whatever
grand
or
gracious
thing
he
will
by
whiteness
no
man
can
deny
that
in
its
profoundest
idealized
significance
it
calls
up
a
peculiar
apparition
to
the
soul
but
though
without
dissent
this
point
be
fixed
how
is
mortal
man
to
account
for
it
to
analyse
it
would
seem
impossible
can
we
then
by
the
citation
of
some
of
those
instances
wherein
this
thing
of
whiteness
though
for
the
time
either
wholly
or
in
great
part
stripped
of
all
direct
associations
calculated
to
impart
to
it
aught
fearful
but
nevertheless
is
found
to
exert
over
us
the
same
sorcery
however
modified
can
we
thus
hope
to
light
upon
some
chance
clue
to
conduct
us
to
the
hidden
cause
we
seek
let
us
try
but
in
a
matter
like
this
subtlety
appeals
to
subtlety
and
without
imagination
no
man
can
follow
another
into
these
halls
and
though
doubtless
some
at
least
of
the
imaginative
impressions
about
to
be
presented
may
have
been
shared
by
most
men
yet
few
perhaps
were
entirely
conscious
of
them
at
the
time
and
therefore
may
not
be
able
to
recall
them
now
why
to
the
man
of
untutored
ideality
who
happens
to
be
but
loosely
acquainted
with
the
peculiar
character
of
the
day
does
the
bare
mention
of
whitsuntide
marshal
in
the
fancy
such
long
dreary
speechless
processions
of
slow
pacing
pilgrims
downcast
and
hooded
with
new
fallen
snow
or
to
the
unread
unsophisticated
protestant
of
the
middle
american
states
why
does
the
passing
mention
of
a
white
friar
or
a
white
nun
evoke
such
an
eyeless
statue
in
the
soul
or
what
is
there
apart
from
the
traditions
of
dungeoned
warriors
and
kings
which
will
not
wholly
account
for
it
that
makes
the
white
tower
of
london
tell
so
much
more
strongly
on
the
imagination
of
an
untravelled
american
than
those
other
storied
structures
its
neighbors
the
byward
tower
or
even
the
bloody
and
those
sublimer
towers
the
white
mountains
of
new
hampshire
whence
in
peculiar
moods
comes
that
gigantic
ghostliness
over
the
soul
at
the
bare
mention
of
that
name
while
the
thought
of
virginias
blue
ridge
is
full
of
a
soft
dewy
distant
dreaminess
or
why
irrespective
of
all
latitudes
and
longitudes
does
the
name
of
the
white
sea
exert
such
a
spectralness
over
the
fancy
while
that
of
the
yellow
sea
lulls
us
with
mortal
thoughts
of
long
lacquered
mild
afternoons
on
the
waves
followed
by
the
gaudiest
and
yet
sleepiest
of
sunsets
or
to
choose
a
wholly
unsubstantial
instance
purely
addressed
to
the
fancy
why
in
reading
the
old
fairy
tales
of
central
europe
does
the
tall
pale
man
of
the
hartz
forests
whose
changeless
pallor
unrestingly
glides
through
the
green
of
the
groves
why
is
this
phantom
more
terrible
than
all
the
whooping
imps
of
the
blocksburg
nor
is
it
altogether
the
remembrance
of
her
cathedral
toppling
earthquakes
nor
the
stampedoes
of
her
frantic
seas
nor
the
tearlessness
of
arid
skies
that
never
rain
nor
the
sight
of
her
wide
field
of
leaning
spires
wrenched
cope
stones
and
crosses
all
adroop
like
canted
yards
of
anchored
fleets
and
her
suburban
avenues
of
house
walls
lying
over
upon
each
other
as
a
tossed
pack
of
cards
it
is
not
these
things
alone
which
make
tearless
lima
the
strangest
saddest
city
thou
canst
see
for
lima
has
taken
the
white
veil
and
there
is
a
higher
horror
in
this
whiteness
of
her
woe
old
as
pizarro
this
whiteness
keeps
her
ruins
for
ever
new
admits
not
the
cheerful
greenness
of
complete
decay
spreads
over
her
broken
ramparts
the
rigid
pallor
of
an
apoplexy
that
fixes
its
own
distortions
i
know
that
to
the
common
apprehension
this
phenomenon
of
whiteness
is
not
confessed
to
be
the
prime
agent
in
exaggerating
the
terror
of
objects
otherwise
terrible
nor
to
the
unimaginative
mind
is
there
aught
of
terror
in
those
appearances
whose
awfulness
to
another
mind
almost
solely
consists
in
this
one
phenomenon
especially
when
exhibited
under
any
form
at
all
approaching
to
muteness
or
universality
what
i
mean
by
these
two
statements
may
perhaps
be
respectively
elucidated
by
the
following
examples
first
the
mariner
when
drawing
nigh
the
coasts
of
foreign
lands
if
by
night
he
hear
the
roar
of
breakers
starts
to
vigilance
and
feels
just
enough
of
trepidation
to
sharpen
all
his
faculties
but
under
precisely
similar
circumstances
let
him
be
called
from
his
hammock
to
view
his
ship
sailing
through
a
midnight
sea
of
milky
whiteness
as
if
from
encircling
headlands
shoals
of
combed
white
bears
were
swimming
round
him
then
he
feels
a
silent
superstitious
dread
the
shrouded
phantom
of
the
whitened
waters
is
horrible
to
him
as
a
real
ghost
in
vain
the
lead
assures
him
he
is
still
off
soundings
heart
and
helm
they
both
go
down
he
never
rests
till
blue
water
is
under
him
again
yet
where
is
the
mariner
who
will
tell
thee
sir
it
was
not
so
much
the
fear
of
striking
hidden
rocks
as
the
fear
of
that
hideous
whiteness
that
so
stirred
me
second
to
the
native
indian
of
peru
the
continual
sight
of
the
snow
howdahed
andes
conveys
naught
of
dread
except
perhaps
in
the
mere
fancying
of
the
eternal
frosted
desolateness
reigning
at
such
vast
altitudes
and
the
natural
conceit
of
what
a
fearfulness
it
would
be
to
lose
oneself
in
such
inhuman
solitudes
much
the
same
is
it
with
the
backwoodsman
of
the
west
who
with
comparative
indifference
views
an
unbounded
prairie
sheeted
with
driven
snow
no
shadow
of
tree
or
twig
to
break
the
fixed
trance
of
whiteness
not
so
the
sailor
beholding
the
scenery
of
the
antarctic
seas
where
at
times
by
some
infernal
trick
of
legerdemain
in
the
powers
of
frost
and
air
he
shivering
and
half
shipwrecked
instead
of
rainbows
speaking
hope
and
solace
to
his
misery
views
what
seems
a
boundless
church
yard
grinning
upon
him
with
its
lean
ice
monuments
and
splintered
crosses
but
thou
sayest
methinks
this
white
lead
chapter
about
whiteness
is
but
a
white
flag
hung
out
from
a
craven
soul
thou
surrenderest
to
a
hypo
ishmael
tell
me
why
this
strong
young
colt
foaled
in
some
peaceful
valley
of
vermont
far
removed
from
all
beasts
of
prey
why
is
it
that
upon
the
sunniest
day
if
you
but
shake
a
fresh
buffalo
robe
behind
him
so
that
he
cannot
even
see
it
but
only
smells
its
wild
animal
muskiness
why
will
he
start
snort
and
with
bursting
eyes
paw
the
ground
in
phrensies
of
affright
there
is
no
remembrance
in
him
of
any
gorings
of
wild
creatures
in
his
green
northern
home
so
that
the
strange
muskiness
he
smells
cannot
recall
to
him
anything
associated
with
the
experience
of
former
perils
for
what
knows
he
this
new
england
colt
of
the
black
bisons
of
distant
oregon
no
but
here
thou
beholdest
even
in
a
dumb
brute
the
instinct
of
the
knowledge
of
the
demonism
in
the
world
though
thousands
of
miles
from
oregon
still
when
he
smells
that
savage
musk
the
rending
goring
bison
herds
are
as
present
as
to
the
deserted
wild
foal
of
the
prairies
which
this
instant
they
may
be
trampling
into
dust
thus
then
the
muffled
rollings
of
a
milky
sea
the
bleak
rustlings
of
the
festooned
frosts
of
mountains
the
desolate
shiftings
of
the
windrowed
snows
of
prairies
all
these
to
ishmael
are
as
the
shaking
of
that
buffalo
robe
to
the
frightened
colt
though
neither
knows
where
lie
the
nameless
things
of
which
the
mystic
sign
gives
forth
such
hints
yet
with
me
as
with
the
colt
somewhere
those
things
must
exist
though
in
many
of
its
aspects
this
visible
world
seems
formed
in
love
the
invisible
spheres
were
formed
in
fright
but
not
yet
have
we
solved
the
incantation
of
this
whiteness
and
learned
why
it
appeals
with
such
power
to
the
soul
and
more
strange
and
far
more
portentous
why
as
we
have
seen
it
is
at
once
the
most
meaning
symbol
of
spiritual
things
nay
the
very
veil
of
the
christians
deity
and
yet
should
be
as
it
is
the
intensifying
agent
in
things
the
most
appalling
to
mankind
is
it
that
by
its
indefiniteness
it
shadows
forth
the
heartless
voids
and
immensities
of
the
universe
and
thus
stabs
us
from
behind
with
the
thought
of
annihilation
when
beholding
the
white
depths
of
the
milky
way
or
is
it
that
as
in
essence
whiteness
is
not
so
much
a
color
as
the
visible
absence
of
color
and
at
the
same
time
the
concrete
of
all
colors
is
it
for
these
reasons
that
there
is
such
a
dumb
blankness
full
of
meaning
in
a
wide
landscape
of
snows
a
colorless
all
color
of
atheism
from
which
we
shrink
and
when
we
consider
that
other
theory
of
the
natural
philosophers
that
all
other
earthly
hues
every
stately
or
lovely
emblazoning
the
sweet
tinges
of
sunset
skies
and
woods
yea
and
the
gilded
velvets
of
butterflies
and
the
butterfly
cheeks
of
young
girls
all
these
are
but
subtile
deceits
not
actually
inherent
in
substances
but
only
laid
on
from
without
so
that
all
deified
nature
absolutely
paints
like
the
harlot
whose
allurements
cover
nothing
but
the
charnel
house
within
and
when
we
proceed
further
and
consider
that
the
mystical
cosmetic
which
produces
every
one
of
her
hues
the
great
principle
of
light
for
ever
remains
white
or
colorless
in
itself
and
if
operating
without
medium
upon
matter
would
touch
all
objects
even
tulips
and
roses
with
its
own
blank
tinge
pondering
all
this
the
palsied
universe
lies
before
us
a
leper
and
like
wilful
travellers
in
lapland
who
refuse
to
wear
colored
and
coloring
glasses
upon
their
eyes
so
the
wretched
infidel
gazes
himself
blind
at
the
monumental
white
shroud
that
wraps
all
the
prospect
around
him
and
of
all
these
things
the
albino
whale
was
the
symbol
wonder
ye
then
at
the
fiery
hunt
with
reference
to
the
polar
bear
it
may
possibly
be
urged
by
him
who
would
fain
go
still
deeper
into
this
matter
that
it
is
not
the
whiteness
separately
regarded
which
heightens
the
intolerable
hideousness
of
that
brute
for
analysed
that
heightened
hideousness
it
might
be
said
only
arises
from
the
circumstance
that
the
irresponsible
ferociousness
of
the
creature
stands
invested
in
the
fleece
of
celestial
innocence
and
love
and
hence
by
bringing
together
two
such
opposite
emotions
in
our
minds
the
polar
bear
frightens
us
with
so
unnatural
a
contrast
but
even
assuming
all
this
to
be
true
yet
were
it
not
for
the
whiteness
you
would
not
have
that
intensified
terror
as
for
the
white
shark
the
white
gliding
ghostliness
of
repose
in
that
creature
when
beheld
in
his
ordinary
moods
strangely
tallies
with
the
same
quality
in
the
polar
quadruped
this
peculiarity
is
most
vividly
hit
by
the
french
in
the
name
they
bestow
upon
that
fish
the
romish
mass
for
the
dead
begins
with
requiem
eternam
eternal
rest
whence
requiem
denominating
the
mass
itself
and
any
other
funereal
music
now
in
allusion
to
the
white
silent
stillness
of
death
in
this
shark
and
the
mild
deadliness
of
his
habits
the
french
call
him
requin
i
remember
the
first
albatross
i
ever
saw
it
was
during
a
prolonged
gale
in
waters
hard
upon
the
antarctic
seas
from
my
forenoon
watch
below
i
ascended
to
the
overclouded
deck
and
there
dashed
upon
the
main
hatches
i
saw
a
regal
feathery
thing
of
unspotted
whiteness
and
with
a
hooked
roman
bill
sublime
at
intervals
it
arched
forth
its
vast
archangel
wings
as
if
to
embrace
some
holy
ark
wondrous
flutterings
and
throbbings
shook
it
though
bodily
unharmed
it
uttered
cries
as
some
kings
ghost
in
supernatural
distress
through
its
inexpressible
strange
eyes
methought
i
peeped
to
secrets
which
took
hold
of
god
as
abraham
before
the
angels
i
bowed
myself
the
white
thing
was
so
white
its
wings
so
wide
and
in
those
for
ever
exiled
waters
i
had
lost
the
miserable
warping
memories
of
traditions
and
of
towns
long
i
gazed
at
that
prodigy
of
plumage
i
cannot
tell
can
only
hint
the
things
that
darted
through
me
then
but
at
last
i
awoke
and
turning
asked
a
sailor
what
bird
was
this
a
goney
he
replied
goney
i
never
had
heard
that
name
before
is
it
conceivable
that
this
glorious
thing
is
utterly
unknown
to
men
ashore
never
but
some
time
after
i
learned
that
goney
was
some
seamans
name
for
albatross
so
that
by
no
possibility
could
coleridges
wild
rhyme
have
had
aught
to
do
with
those
mystical
impressions
which
were
mine
when
i
saw
that
bird
upon
our
deck
for
neither
had
i
then
read
the
rhyme
nor
knew
the
bird
to
be
an
albatross
yet
in
saying
this
i
do
but
indirectly
burnish
a
little
brighter
the
noble
merit
of
the
poem
and
the
poet
i
assert
then
that
in
the
wondrous
bodily
whiteness
of
the
bird
chiefly
lurks
the
secret
of
the
spell
a
truth
the
more
evinced
in
this
that
by
a
solecism
of
terms
there
are
birds
called
grey
albatrosses
and
these
i
have
frequently
seen
but
never
with
such
emotions
as
when
i
beheld
the
antarctic
fowl
but
how
had
the
mystic
thing
been
caught
whisper
it
not
and
i
will
tell
with
a
treacherous
hook
and
line
as
the
fowl
floated
on
the
sea
at
last
the
captain
made
a
postman
of
it
tying
a
lettered
leathern
tally
round
its
neck
with
the
ships
time
and
place
and
then
letting
it
escape
but
i
doubt
not
that
leathern
tally
meant
for
man
was
taken
off
in
heaven
when
the
white
fowl
flew
to
join
the
wing
folding
the
invoking
and
adoring
cherubim
hist
did
you
hear
that
noise
cabaco
it
was
the
middle
watch
a
fair
moonlight
the
seamen
were
standing
in
a
cordon
extending
from
one
of
the
fresh
water
butts
in
the
waist
to
the
scuttle
butt
near
the
taffrail
in
this
manner
they
passed
the
buckets
to
fill
the
scuttle
butt
standing
for
the
most
part
on
the
hallowed
precincts
of
the
quarter
deck
they
were
careful
not
to
speak
or
rustle
their
feet
from
hand
to
hand
the
buckets
went
in
the
deepest
silence
only
broken
by
the
occasional
flap
of
a
sail
and
the
steady
hum
of
the
unceasingly
advancing
keel
it
was
in
the
midst
of
this
repose
that
archy
one
of
the
cordon
whose
post
was
near
the
after
hatches
whispered
to
his
neighbor
a
cholo
the
words
above
hist
did
you
hear
that
noise
cabaco
take
the
bucket
will
ye
archy
what
noise
dye
mean
there
it
is
again
under
the
hatches
dont
you
hear
it
a
cough
it
sounded
like
a
cough
cough
be
damned
pass
along
that
return
bucket
there
again
there
it
is
it
sounds
like
two
or
three
sleepers
turning
over
now
caramba
have
done
shipmate
will
ye
its
the
three
soaked
biscuits
ye
eat
for
supper
turning
over
inside
of
ye
nothing
else
look
to
the
bucket
say
what
ye
will
shipmate
ive
sharp
ears
aye
you
are
the
chap
aint
ye
that
heard
the
hum
of
the
old
quakeresss
knitting
needles
fifty
miles
at
sea
from
nantucket
youre
the
chap
grin
away
well
see
what
turns
up
hark
ye
cabaco
there
is
somebody
down
in
the
after
hold
that
has
not
yet
been
seen
on
deck
and
i
suspect
our
old
mogul
knows
something
of
it
too
i
heard
stubb
tell
flask
one
morning
watch
that
there
was
something
of
that
sort
in
the
wind
tish
the
bucket
had
you
followed
captain
ahab
down
into
his
cabin
after
the
squall
that
took
place
on
the
night
succeeding
that
wild
ratification
of
his
purpose
with
his
crew
you
would
have
seen
him
go
to
a
locker
in
the
transom
and
bringing
out
a
large
wrinkled
roll
of
yellowish
sea
charts
spread
them
before
him
on
his
screwed
down
table
then
seating
himself
before
it
you
would
have
seen
him
intently
study
the
various
lines
and
shadings
which
there
met
his
eye
and
with
slow
but
steady
pencil
trace
additional
courses
over
spaces
that
before
were
blank
at
intervals
he
would
refer
to
piles
of
old
log
books
beside
him
wherein
were
set
down
the
seasons
and
places
in
which
on
various
former
voyages
of
various
ships
sperm
whales
had
been
captured
or
seen
while
thus
employed
the
heavy
pewter
lamp
suspended
in
chains
over
his
head
continually
rocked
with
the
motion
of
the
ship
and
for
ever
threw
shifting
gleams
and
shadows
of
lines
upon
his
wrinkled
brow
till
it
almost
seemed
that
while
he
himself
was
marking
out
lines
and
courses
on
the
wrinkled
charts
some
invisible
pencil
was
also
tracing
lines
and
courses
upon
the
deeply
marked
chart
of
his
forehead
but
it
was
not
this
night
in
particular
that
in
the
solitude
of
his
cabin
ahab
thus
pondered
over
his
charts
almost
every
night
they
were
brought
out
almost
every
night
some
pencil
marks
were
effaced
and
others
were
substituted
for
with
the
charts
of
all
four
oceans
before
him
ahab
was
threading
a
maze
of
currents
and
eddies
with
a
view
to
the
more
certain
accomplishment
of
that
monomaniac
thought
of
his
soul
now
to
any
one
not
fully
acquainted
with
the
ways
of
the
leviathans
it
might
seem
an
absurdly
hopeless
task
thus
to
seek
out
one
solitary
creature
in
the
unhooped
oceans
of
this
planet
but
not
so
did
it
seem
to
ahab
who
knew
the
sets
of
all
tides
and
currents
and
thereby
calculating
the
driftings
of
the
sperm
whales
food
and
also
calling
to
mind
the
regular
ascertained
seasons
for
hunting
him
in
particular
latitudes
could
arrive
at
reasonable
surmises
almost
approaching
to
certainties
concerning
the
timeliest
day
to
be
upon
this
or
that
ground
in
search
of
his
prey
so
assured
indeed
is
the
fact
concerning
the
periodicalness
of
the
sperm
whales
resorting
to
given
waters
that
many
hunters
believe
that
could
he
be
closely
observed
and
studied
throughout
the
world
were
the
logs
for
one
voyage
of
the
entire
whale
fleet
carefully
collated
then
the
migrations
of
the
sperm
whale
would
be
found
to
correspond
in
invariability
to
those
of
the
herring
shoals
or
the
flights
of
swallows
on
this
hint
attempts
have
been
made
to
construct
elaborate
migratory
charts
of
the
sperm
whale
besides
when
making
a
passage
from
one
feeding
ground
to
another
the
sperm
whales
guided
by
some
infallible
instinct
say
rather
secret
intelligence
from
the
deity
mostly
swim
in
veins
as
they
are
called
continuing
their
way
along
a
given
ocean
line
with
such
undeviating
exactitude
that
no
ship
ever
sailed
her
course
by
any
chart
with
one
tithe
of
such
marvellous
precision
though
in
these
cases
the
direction
taken
by
any
one
whale
be
straight
as
a
surveyors
parallel
and
though
the
line
of
advance
be
strictly
confined
to
its
own
unavoidable
straight
wake
yet
the
arbitrary
vein
in
which
at
these
times
he
is
said
to
swim
generally
embraces
some
few
miles
in
width
more
or
less
as
the
vein
is
presumed
to
expand
or
contract
but
never
exceeds
the
visual
sweep
from
the
whale
ships
mast
heads
when
circumspectly
gliding
along
this
magic
zone
the
sum
is
that
at
particular
seasons
within
that
breadth
and
along
that
path
migrating
whales
may
with
great
confidence
be
looked
for
and
hence
not
only
at
substantiated
times
upon
well
known
separate
feeding
grounds
could
ahab
hope
to
encounter
his
prey
but
in
crossing
the
widest
expanses
of
water
between
those
grounds
he
could
by
his
art
so
place
and
time
himself
on
his
way
as
even
then
not
to
be
wholly
without
prospect
of
a
meeting
there
was
a
circumstance
which
at
first
sight
seemed
to
entangle
his
delirious
but
still
methodical
scheme
but
not
so
in
the
reality
perhaps
though
the
gregarious
sperm
whales
have
their
regular
seasons
for
particular
grounds
yet
in
general
you
cannot
conclude
that
the
herds
which
hunted
such
and
such
a
latitude
or
longitude
this
year
say
will
turn
out
to
be
identically
the
same
with
those
that
were
found
there
the
preceding
season
though
there
are
peculiar
and
unquestionable
instances
where
the
contrary
of
this
has
proved
true
in
general
the
same
remark
only
within
a
less
wide
limit
applies
to
the
solitaries
and
hermits
among
the
matured
aged
sperm
whales
so
that
though
moby
dick
had
in
a
former
year
been
seen
for
example
on
what
is
called
the
seychelle
ground
in
the
indian
ocean
or
volcano
bay
on
the
japanese
coast
yet
it
did
not
follow
that
were
the
pequod
to
visit
either
of
those
spots
at
any
subsequent
corresponding
season
she
would
infallibly
encounter
him
there
so
too
with
some
other
feeding
grounds
where
he
had
at
times
revealed
himself
but
all
these
seemed
only
his
casual
stopping
places
and
ocean
inns
so
to
speak
not
his
places
of
prolonged
abode
and
where
ahabs
chances
of
accomplishing
his
object
have
hitherto
been
spoken
of
allusion
has
only
been
made
to
whatever
way
side
antecedent
extra
prospects
were
his
ere
a
particular
set
time
or
place
were
attained
when
all
possibilities
would
become
probabilities
and
as
ahab
fondly
thought
every
possibility
the
next
thing
to
a
certainty
that
particular
set
time
and
place
were
conjoined
in
the
one
technical
phrase
the
season
on
the
line
for
there
and
then
for
several
consecutive
years
moby
dick
had
been
periodically
descried
lingering
in
those
waters
for
awhile
as
the
sun
in
its
annual
round
loiters
for
a
predicted
interval
in
any
one
sign
of
the
zodiac
there
it
was
too
that
most
of
the
deadly
encounters
with
the
white
whale
had
taken
place
there
the
waves
were
storied
with
his
deeds
there
also
was
that
tragic
spot
where
the
monomaniac
old
man
had
found
the
awful
motive
to
his
vengeance
but
in
the
cautious
comprehensiveness
and
unloitering
vigilance
with
which
ahab
threw
his
brooding
soul
into
this
unfaltering
hunt
he
would
not
permit
himself
to
rest
all
his
hopes
upon
the
one
crowning
fact
above
mentioned
however
flattering
it
might
be
to
those
hopes
nor
in
the
sleeplessness
of
his
vow
could
he
so
tranquillize
his
unquiet
heart
as
to
postpone
all
intervening
quest
now
the
pequod
had
sailed
from
nantucket
at
the
very
beginning
of
the
season
on
the
line
no
possible
endeavor
then
could
enable
her
commander
to
make
the
great
passage
southwards
double
cape
horn
and
then
running
down
sixty
degrees
of
latitude
arrive
in
the
equatorial
pacific
in
time
to
cruise
there
therefore
he
must
wait
for
the
next
ensuing
season
yet
the
premature
hour
of
the
pequods
sailing
had
perhaps
been
correctly
selected
by
ahab
with
a
view
to
this
very
complexion
of
things
because
an
interval
of
three
hundred
and
sixty
five
days
and
nights
was
before
him
an
interval
which
instead
of
impatiently
enduring
ashore
he
would
spend
in
a
miscellaneous
hunt
if
by
chance
the
white
whale
spending
his
vacation
in
seas
far
remote
from
his
periodical
feeding
grounds
should
turn
up
his
wrinkled
brow
off
the
persian
gulf
or
in
the
bengal
bay
or
china
seas
or
in
any
other
waters
haunted
by
his
race
so
that
monsoons
pampas
nor
westers
harmattans
trades
any
wind
but
the
levanter
and
simoom
might
blow
moby
dick
into
the
devious
zig
zag
world
circle
of
the
pequods
circumnavigating
wake
but
granting
all
this
yet
regarded
discreetly
and
coolly
seems
it
not
but
a
mad
idea
this
that
in
the
broad
boundless
ocean
one
solitary
whale
even
if
encountered
should
be
thought
capable
of
individual
recognition
from
his
hunter
even
as
a
white
bearded
mufti
in
the
thronged
thoroughfares
of
constantinople
yes
for
the
peculiar
snow
white
brow
of
moby
dick
and
his
snow
white
hump
could
not
but
be
unmistakable
and
have
i
not
tallied
the
whale
ahab
would
mutter
to
himself
as
after
poring
over
his
charts
till
long
after
midnight
he
would
throw
himself
back
in
reveries
tallied
him
and
shall
he
escape
his
broad
fins
are
bored
and
scalloped
out
like
a
lost
sheeps
ear
and
here
his
mad
mind
would
run
on
in
a
breathless
race
till
a
weariness
and
faintness
of
pondering
came
over
him
and
in
the
open
air
of
the
deck
he
would
seek
to
recover
his
strength
ah
god
what
trances
of
torments
does
that
man
endure
who
is
consumed
with
one
unachieved
revengeful
desire
he
sleeps
with
clenched
hands
and
wakes
with
his
own
bloody
nails
in
his
palms
often
when
forced
from
his
hammock
by
exhausting
and
intolerably
vivid
dreams
of
the
night
which
resuming
his
own
intense
thoughts
through
the
day
carried
them
on
amid
a
clashing
of
phrensies
and
whirled
them
round
and
round
in
his
blazing
brain
till
the
very
throbbing
of
his
life
spot
became
insufferable
anguish
and
when
as
was
sometimes
the
case
these
spiritual
throes
in
him
heaved
his
being
up
from
its
base
and
a
chasm
seemed
opening
in
him
from
which
forked
flames
and
lightnings
shot
up
and
accursed
fiends
beckoned
him
to
leap
down
among
them
when
this
hell
in
himself
yawned
beneath
him
a
wild
cry
would
be
heard
through
the
ship
and
with
glaring
eyes
ahab
would
burst
from
his
state
room
as
though
escaping
from
a
bed
that
was
on
fire
yet
these
perhaps
instead
of
being
the
unsuppressable
symptoms
of
some
latent
weakness
or
fright
at
his
own
resolve
were
but
the
plainest
tokens
of
its
intensity
for
at
such
times
crazy
ahab
the
scheming
unappeasedly
steadfast
hunter
of
the
white
whale
this
ahab
that
had
gone
to
his
hammock
was
not
the
agent
that
so
caused
him
to
burst
from
it
in
horror
again
the
latter
was
the
eternal
living
principle
or
soul
in
him
and
in
sleep
being
for
the
time
dissociated
from
the
characterizing
mind
which
at
other
times
employed
it
for
its
outer
vehicle
or
agent
it
spontaneously
sought
escape
from
the
scorching
contiguity
of
the
frantic
thing
of
which
for
the
time
it
was
no
longer
an
integral
but
as
the
mind
does
not
exist
unless
leagued
with
the
soul
therefore
it
must
have
been
that
in
ahabs
case
yielding
up
all
his
thoughts
and
fancies
to
his
one
supreme
purpose
that
purpose
by
its
own
sheer
inveteracy
of
will
forced
itself
against
gods
and
devils
into
a
kind
of
self
assumed
independent
being
of
its
own
nay
could
grimly
live
and
burn
while
the
common
vitality
to
which
it
was
conjoined
fled
horror
stricken
from
the
unbidden
and
unfathered
birth
therefore
the
tormented
spirit
that
glared
out
of
bodily
eyes
when
what
seemed
ahab
rushed
from
his
room
was
for
the
time
but
a
vacated
thing
a
formless
somnambulistic
being
a
ray
of
living
light
to
be
sure
but
without
an
object
to
color
and
therefore
a
blankness
in
itself
god
help
thee
old
man
thy
thoughts
have
created
a
creature
in
thee
and
he
whose
intense
thinking
thus
makes
him
a
prometheus
a
vulture
feeds
upon
that
heart
for
ever
that
vulture
the
very
creature
he
creates
since
the
above
was
written
the
statement
is
happily
borne
out
by
an
official
circular
issued
by
lieutenant
maury
of
the
national
observatory
washington
april
th
by
that
circular
it
appears
that
precisely
such
a
chart
is
in
course
of
completion
and
portions
of
it
are
presented
in
the
circular
this
chart
divides
the
ocean
into
districts
of
five
degrees
of
latitude
by
five
degrees
of
longitude
perpendicularly
through
each
of
which
districts
are
twelve
columns
for
the
twelve
months
and
horizontally
through
each
of
which
districts
are
three
lines
one
to
show
the
number
of
days
that
have
been
spent
in
each
month
in
every
district
and
the
two
others
to
show
the
number
of
days
in
which
whales
sperm
or
right
have
been
seen
so
far
as
what
there
may
be
of
a
narrative
in
this
book
and
indeed
as
indirectly
touching
one
or
two
very
interesting
and
curious
particulars
in
the
habits
of
sperm
whales
the
foregoing
chapter
in
its
earliest
part
is
as
important
a
one
as
will
be
found
in
this
volume
but
the
leading
matter
of
it
requires
to
be
still
further
and
more
familiarly
enlarged
upon
in
order
to
be
adequately
understood
and
moreover
to
take
away
any
incredulity
which
a
profound
ignorance
of
the
entire
subject
may
induce
in
some
minds
as
to
the
natural
verity
of
the
main
points
of
this
affair
i
care
not
to
perform
this
part
of
my
task
methodically
but
shall
be
content
to
produce
the
desired
impression
by
separate
citations
of
items
practically
or
reliably
known
to
me
as
a
whaleman
and
from
these
citations
i
take
it
the
conclusion
aimed
at
will
naturally
follow
of
itself
first
i
have
personally
known
three
instances
where
a
whale
after
receiving
a
harpoon
has
effected
a
complete
escape
and
after
an
interval
in
one
instance
of
three
years
has
been
again
struck
by
the
same
hand
and
slain
when
the
two
irons
both
marked
by
the
same
private
cypher
have
been
taken
from
the
body
in
the
instance
where
three
years
intervened
between
the
flinging
of
the
two
harpoons
and
i
think
it
may
have
been
something
more
than
that
the
man
who
darted
them
happening
in
the
interval
to
go
in
a
trading
ship
on
a
voyage
to
africa
went
ashore
there
joined
a
discovery
party
and
penetrated
far
into
the
interior
where
he
travelled
for
a
period
of
nearly
two
years
often
endangered
by
serpents
savages
tigers
poisonous
miasmas
with
all
the
other
common
perils
incident
to
wandering
in
the
heart
of
unknown
regions
meanwhile
the
whale
he
had
struck
must
also
have
been
on
its
travels
no
doubt
it
had
thrice
circumnavigated
the
globe
brushing
with
its
flanks
all
the
coasts
of
africa
but
to
no
purpose
this
man
and
this
whale
again
came
together
and
the
one
vanquished
the
other
i
say
i
myself
have
known
three
instances
similar
to
this
that
is
in
two
of
them
i
saw
the
whales
struck
and
upon
the
second
attack
saw
the
two
irons
with
the
respective
marks
cut
in
them
afterwards
taken
from
the
dead
fish
in
the
three
year
instance
it
so
fell
out
that
i
was
in
the
boat
both
times
first
and
last
and
the
last
time
distinctly
recognized
a
peculiar
sort
of
huge
mole
under
the
whales
eye
which
i
had
observed
there
three
years
previous
i
say
three
years
but
i
am
pretty
sure
it
was
more
than
that
here
are
three
instances
then
which
i
personally
know
the
truth
of
but
i
have
heard
of
many
other
instances
from
persons
whose
veracity
in
the
matter
there
is
no
good
ground
to
impeach
secondly
it
is
well
known
in
the
sperm
whale
fishery
however
ignorant
the
world
ashore
may
be
of
it
that
there
have
been
several
memorable
historical
instances
where
a
particular
whale
in
the
ocean
has
been
at
distant
times
and
places
popularly
cognisable
why
such
a
whale
became
thus
marked
was
not
altogether
and
originally
owing
to
his
bodily
peculiarities
as
distinguished
from
other
whales
for
however
peculiar
in
that
respect
any
chance
whale
may
be
they
soon
put
an
end
to
his
peculiarities
by
killing
him
and
boiling
him
down
into
a
peculiarly
valuable
oil
no
the
reason
was
this
that
from
the
fatal
experiences
of
the
fishery
there
hung
a
terrible
prestige
of
perilousness
about
such
a
whale
as
there
did
about
rinaldo
rinaldini
insomuch
that
most
fishermen
were
content
to
recognise
him
by
merely
touching
their
tarpaulins
when
he
would
be
discovered
lounging
by
them
on
the
sea
without
seeking
to
cultivate
a
more
intimate
acquaintance
like
some
poor
devils
ashore
that
happen
to
know
an
irascible
great
man
they
make
distant
unobtrusive
salutations
to
him
in
the
street
lest
if
they
pursued
the
acquaintance
further
they
might
receive
a
summary
thump
for
their
presumption
but
not
only
did
each
of
these
famous
whales
enjoy
great
individual
celebrity
nay
you
may
call
it
an
ocean
wide
renown
not
only
was
he
famous
in
life
and
now
is
immortal
in
forecastle
stories
after
death
but
he
was
admitted
into
all
the
rights
privileges
and
distinctions
of
a
name
had
as
much
a
name
indeed
as
cambyses
or
caesar
was
it
not
so
o
timor
tom
thou
famed
leviathan
scarred
like
an
iceberg
who
so
long
didst
lurk
in
the
oriental
straits
of
that
name
whose
spout
was
oft
seen
from
the
palmy
beach
of
ombay
was
it
not
so
o
new
zealand
jack
thou
terror
of
all
cruisers
that
crossed
their
wakes
in
the
vicinity
of
the
tattoo
land
was
it
not
so
o
morquan
king
of
japan
whose
lofty
jet
they
say
at
times
assumed
the
semblance
of
a
snow
white
cross
against
the
sky
was
it
not
so
o
don
miguel
thou
chilian
whale
marked
like
an
old
tortoise
with
mystic
hieroglyphics
upon
the
back
in
plain
prose
here
are
four
whales
as
well
known
to
the
students
of
cetacean
history
as
marius
or
sylla
to
the
classic
scholar
but
this
is
not
all
new
zealand
tom
and
don
miguel
after
at
various
times
creating
great
havoc
among
the
boats
of
different
vessels
were
finally
gone
in
quest
of
systematically
hunted
out
chased
and
killed
by
valiant
whaling
captains
who
heaved
up
their
anchors
with
that
express
object
as
much
in
view
as
in
setting
out
through
the
narragansett
woods
captain
butler
of
old
had
it
in
his
mind
to
capture
that
notorious
murderous
savage
annawon
the
headmost
warrior
of
the
indian
king
philip
i
do
not
know
where
i
can
find
a
better
place
than
just
here
to
make
mention
of
one
or
two
other
things
which
to
me
seem
important
as
in
printed
form
establishing
in
all
respects
the
reasonableness
of
the
whole
story
of
the
white
whale
more
especially
the
catastrophe
for
this
is
one
of
those
disheartening
instances
where
truth
requires
full
as
much
bolstering
as
error
so
ignorant
are
most
landsmen
of
some
of
the
plainest
and
most
palpable
wonders
of
the
world
that
without
some
hints
touching
the
plain
facts
historical
and
otherwise
of
the
fishery
they
might
scout
at
moby
dick
as
a
monstrous
fable
or
still
worse
and
more
detestable
a
hideous
and
intolerable
allegory
first
though
most
men
have
some
vague
flitting
ideas
of
the
general
perils
of
the
grand
fishery
yet
they
have
nothing
like
a
fixed
vivid
conception
of
those
perils
and
the
frequency
with
which
they
recur
one
reason
perhaps
is
that
not
one
in
fifty
of
the
actual
disasters
and
deaths
by
casualties
in
the
fishery
ever
finds
a
public
record
at
home
however
transient
and
immediately
forgotten
that
record
do
you
suppose
that
that
poor
fellow
there
who
this
moment
perhaps
caught
by
the
whale
line
off
the
coast
of
new
guinea
is
being
carried
down
to
the
bottom
of
the
sea
by
the
sounding
leviathan
do
you
suppose
that
that
poor
fellows
name
will
appear
in
the
newspaper
obituary
you
will
read
to
morrow
at
your
breakfast
no
because
the
mails
are
very
irregular
between
here
and
new
guinea
in
fact
did
you
ever
hear
what
might
be
called
regular
news
direct
or
indirect
from
new
guinea
yet
i
tell
you
that
upon
one
particular
voyage
which
i
made
to
the
pacific
among
many
others
we
spoke
thirty
different
ships
every
one
of
which
had
had
a
death
by
a
whale
some
of
them
more
than
one
and
three
that
had
each
lost
a
boats
crew
for
gods
sake
be
economical
with
your
lamps
and
candles
not
a
gallon
you
burn
but
at
least
one
drop
of
mans
blood
was
spilled
for
it
secondly
people
ashore
have
indeed
some
indefinite
idea
that
a
whale
is
an
enormous
creature
of
enormous
power
but
i
have
ever
found
that
when
narrating
to
them
some
specific
example
of
this
two
fold
enormousness
they
have
significantly
complimented
me
upon
my
facetiousness
when
i
declare
upon
my
soul
i
had
no
more
idea
of
being
facetious
than
moses
when
he
wrote
the
history
of
the
plagues
of
egypt
but
fortunately
the
special
point
i
here
seek
can
be
established
upon
testimony
entirely
independent
of
my
own
that
point
is
this
the
sperm
whale
is
in
some
cases
sufficiently
powerful
knowing
and
judiciously
malicious
as
with
direct
aforethought
to
stave
in
utterly
destroy
and
sink
a
large
ship
and
what
is
more
the
sperm
whale
has
done
it
first
in
the
year
the
ship
essex
captain
pollard
of
nantucket
was
cruising
in
the
pacific
ocean
one
day
she
saw
spouts
lowered
her
boats
and
gave
chase
to
a
shoal
of
sperm
whales
ere
long
several
of
the
whales
were
wounded
when
suddenly
a
very
large
whale
escaping
from
the
boats
issued
from
the
shoal
and
bore
directly
down
upon
the
ship
dashing
his
forehead
against
her
hull
he
so
stove
her
in
that
in
less
than
ten
minutes
she
settled
down
and
fell
over
not
a
surviving
plank
of
her
has
been
seen
since
after
the
severest
exposure
part
of
the
crew
reached
the
land
in
their
boats
being
returned
home
at
last
captain
pollard
once
more
sailed
for
the
pacific
in
command
of
another
ship
but
the
gods
shipwrecked
him
again
upon
unknown
rocks
and
breakers
for
the
second
time
his
ship
was
utterly
lost
and
forthwith
forswearing
the
sea
he
has
never
tempted
it
since
at
this
day
captain
pollard
is
a
resident
of
nantucket
i
have
seen
owen
chace
who
was
chief
mate
of
the
essex
at
the
time
of
the
tragedy
i
have
read
his
plain
and
faithful
narrative
i
have
conversed
with
his
son
and
all
this
within
a
few
miles
of
the
scene
of
the
catastrophe
secondly
the
ship
union
also
of
nantucket
was
in
the
year
totally
lost
off
the
azores
by
a
similar
onset
but
the
authentic
particulars
of
this
catastrophe
i
have
never
chanced
to
encounter
though
from
the
whale
hunters
i
have
now
and
then
heard
casual
allusions
to
it
thirdly
some
eighteen
or
twenty
years
ago
commodore
j
then
commanding
an
american
sloop
of
war
of
the
first
class
happened
to
be
dining
with
a
party
of
whaling
captains
on
board
a
nantucket
ship
in
the
harbor
of
oahu
sandwich
islands
conversation
turning
upon
whales
the
commodore
was
pleased
to
be
sceptical
touching
the
amazing
strength
ascribed
to
them
by
the
professional
gentlemen
present
he
peremptorily
denied
for
example
that
any
whale
could
so
smite
his
stout
sloop
of
war
as
to
cause
her
to
leak
so
much
as
a
thimbleful
very
good
but
there
is
more
coming
some
weeks
after
the
commodore
set
sail
in
this
impregnable
craft
for
valparaiso
but
he
was
stopped
on
the
way
by
a
portly
sperm
whale
that
begged
a
few
moments
confidential
business
with
him
that
business
consisted
in
fetching
the
commodores
craft
such
a
thwack
that
with
all
his
pumps
going
he
made
straight
for
the
nearest
port
to
heave
down
and
repair
i
am
not
superstitious
but
i
consider
the
commodores
interview
with
that
whale
as
providential
was
not
saul
of
tarsus
converted
from
unbelief
by
a
similar
fright
i
tell
you
the
sperm
whale
will
stand
no
nonsense
i
will
now
refer
you
to
langsdorffs
voyages
for
a
little
circumstance
in
point
peculiarly
interesting
to
the
writer
hereof
langsdorff
you
must
know
by
the
way
was
attached
to
the
russian
admiral
krusensterns
famous
discovery
expedition
in
the
beginning
of
the
present
century
captain
langsdorff
thus
begins
his
seventeenth
chapter
by
the
thirteenth
of
may
our
ship
was
ready
to
sail
and
the
next
day
we
were
out
in
the
open
sea
on
our
way
to
ochotsh
the
weather
was
very
clear
and
fine
but
so
intolerably
cold
that
we
were
obliged
to
keep
on
our
fur
clothing
for
some
days
we
had
very
little
wind
it
was
not
till
the
nineteenth
that
a
brisk
gale
from
the
northwest
sprang
up
an
uncommon
large
whale
the
body
of
which
was
larger
than
the
ship
itself
lay
almost
at
the
surface
of
the
water
but
was
not
perceived
by
any
one
on
board
till
the
moment
when
the
ship
which
was
in
full
sail
was
almost
upon
him
so
that
it
was
impossible
to
prevent
its
striking
against
him
we
were
thus
placed
in
the
most
imminent
danger
as
this
gigantic
creature
setting
up
its
back
raised
the
ship
three
feet
at
least
out
of
the
water
the
masts
reeled
and
the
sails
fell
altogether
while
we
who
were
below
all
sprang
instantly
upon
the
deck
concluding
that
we
had
struck
upon
some
rock
instead
of
this
we
saw
the
monster
sailing
off
with
the
utmost
gravity
and
solemnity
captain
dwolf
applied
immediately
to
the
pumps
to
examine
whether
or
not
the
vessel
had
received
any
damage
from
the
shock
but
we
found
that
very
happily
it
had
escaped
entirely
uninjured
now
the
captain
dwolf
here
alluded
to
as
commanding
the
ship
in
question
is
a
new
englander
who
after
a
long
life
of
unusual
adventures
as
a
sea
captain
this
day
resides
in
the
village
of
dorchester
near
boston
i
have
the
honor
of
being
a
nephew
of
his
i
have
particularly
questioned
him
concerning
this
passage
in
langsdorff
he
substantiates
every
word
the
ship
however
was
by
no
means
a
large
one
a
russian
craft
built
on
the
siberian
coast
and
purchased
by
my
uncle
after
bartering
away
the
vessel
in
which
he
sailed
from
home
in
that
up
and
down
manly
book
of
old
fashioned
adventure
so
full
too
of
honest
wonders
the
voyage
of
lionel
wafer
one
of
ancient
dampiers
old
chums
i
found
a
little
matter
set
down
so
like
that
just
quoted
from
langsdorff
that
i
cannot
forbear
inserting
it
here
for
a
corroborative
example
if
such
be
needed
lionel
it
seems
was
on
his
way
to
john
ferdinando
as
he
calls
the
modern
juan
fernandes
in
our
way
thither
he
says
about
four
oclock
in
the
morning
when
we
were
about
one
hundred
and
fifty
leagues
from
the
main
of
america
our
ship
felt
a
terrible
shock
which
put
our
men
in
such
consternation
that
they
could
hardly
tell
where
they
were
or
what
to
think
but
every
one
began
to
prepare
for
death
and
indeed
the
shock
was
so
sudden
and
violent
that
we
took
it
for
granted
the
ship
had
struck
against
a
rock
but
when
the
amazement
was
a
little
over
we
cast
the
lead
and
sounded
but
found
no
ground
the
suddenness
of
the
shock
made
the
guns
leap
in
their
carriages
and
several
of
the
men
were
shaken
out
of
their
hammocks
captain
davis
who
lay
with
his
head
on
a
gun
was
thrown
out
of
his
cabin
lionel
then
goes
on
to
impute
the
shock
to
an
earthquake
and
seems
to
substantiate
the
imputation
by
stating
that
a
great
earthquake
somewhere
about
that
time
did
actually
do
great
mischief
along
the
spanish
land
but
i
should
not
much
wonder
if
in
the
darkness
of
that
early
hour
of
the
morning
the
shock
was
after
all
caused
by
an
unseen
whale
vertically
bumping
the
hull
from
beneath
i
might
proceed
with
several
more
examples
one
way
or
another
known
to
me
of
the
great
power
and
malice
at
times
of
the
sperm
whale
in
more
than
one
instance
he
has
been
known
not
only
to
chase
the
assailing
boats
back
to
their
ships
but
to
pursue
the
ship
itself
and
long
withstand
all
the
lances
hurled
at
him
from
its
decks
the
english
ship
pusie
hall
can
tell
a
story
on
that
head
and
as
for
his
strength
let
me
say
that
there
have
been
examples
where
the
lines
attached
to
a
running
sperm
whale
have
in
a
calm
been
transferred
to
the
ship
and
secured
there
the
whale
towing
her
great
hull
through
the
water
as
a
horse
walks
off
with
a
cart
again
it
is
very
often
observed
that
if
the
sperm
whale
once
struck
is
allowed
time
to
rally
he
then
acts
not
so
often
with
blind
rage
as
with
wilful
deliberate
designs
of
destruction
to
his
pursuers
nor
is
it
without
conveying
some
eloquent
indication
of
his
character
that
upon
being
attacked
he
will
frequently
open
his
mouth
and
retain
it
in
that
dread
expansion
for
several
consecutive
minutes
but
i
must
be
content
with
only
one
more
and
a
concluding
illustration
a
remarkable
and
most
significant
one
by
which
you
will
not
fail
to
see
that
not
only
is
the
most
marvellous
event
in
this
book
corroborated
by
plain
facts
of
the
present
day
but
that
these
marvels
like
all
marvels
are
mere
repetitions
of
the
ages
so
that
for
the
millionth
time
we
say
amen
with
solomon
verily
there
is
nothing
new
under
the
sun
in
the
sixth
christian
century
lived
procopius
a
christian
magistrate
of
constantinople
in
the
days
when
justinian
was
emperor
and
belisarius
general
as
many
know
he
wrote
the
history
of
his
own
times
a
work
every
way
of
uncommon
value
by
the
best
authorities
he
has
always
been
considered
a
most
trustworthy
and
unexaggerating
historian
except
in
some
one
or
two
particulars
not
at
all
affecting
the
matter
presently
to
be
mentioned
now
in
this
history
of
his
procopius
mentions
that
during
the
term
of
his
prefecture
at
constantinople
a
great
sea
monster
was
captured
in
the
neighboring
propontis
or
sea
of
marmora
after
having
destroyed
vessels
at
intervals
in
those
waters
for
a
period
of
more
than
fifty
years
a
fact
thus
set
down
in
substantial
history
cannot
easily
be
gainsaid
nor
is
there
any
reason
it
should
be
of
what
precise
species
this
sea
monster
was
is
not
mentioned
but
as
he
destroyed
ships
as
well
as
for
other
reasons
he
must
have
been
a
whale
and
i
am
strongly
inclined
to
think
a
sperm
whale
and
i
will
tell
you
why
for
a
long
time
i
fancied
that
the
sperm
whale
had
been
always
unknown
in
the
mediterranean
and
the
deep
waters
connecting
with
it
even
now
i
am
certain
that
those
seas
are
not
and
perhaps
never
can
be
in
the
present
constitution
of
things
a
place
for
his
habitual
gregarious
resort
but
further
investigations
have
recently
proved
to
me
that
in
modern
times
there
have
been
isolated
instances
of
the
presence
of
the
sperm
whale
in
the
mediterranean
i
am
told
on
good
authority
that
on
the
barbary
coast
a
commodore
davis
of
the
british
navy
found
the
skeleton
of
a
sperm
whale
now
as
a
vessel
of
war
readily
passes
through
the
dardanelles
hence
a
sperm
whale
could
by
the
same
route
pass
out
of
the
mediterranean
into
the
propontis
in
the
propontis
as
far
as
i
can
learn
none
of
that
peculiar
substance
called
brit
is
to
be
found
the
aliment
of
the
right
whale
but
i
have
every
reason
to
believe
that
the
food
of
the
sperm
whale
squid
or
cuttle
fish
lurks
at
the
bottom
of
that
sea
because
large
creatures
but
by
no
means
the
largest
of
that
sort
have
been
found
at
its
surface
if
then
you
properly
put
these
statements
together
and
reason
upon
them
a
bit
you
will
clearly
perceive
that
according
to
all
human
reasoning
procopiuss
sea
monster
that
for
half
a
century
stove
the
ships
of
a
roman
emperor
must
in
all
probability
have
been
a
sperm
whale
the
following
are
extracts
from
chaces
narrative
every
fact
seemed
to
warrant
me
in
concluding
that
it
was
anything
but
chance
which
directed
his
operations
he
made
two
several
attacks
upon
the
ship
at
a
short
interval
between
them
both
of
which
according
to
their
direction
were
calculated
to
do
us
the
most
injury
by
being
made
ahead
and
thereby
combining
the
speed
of
the
two
objects
for
the
shock
to
effect
which
the
exact
manoeuvres
which
he
made
were
necessary
his
aspect
was
most
horrible
and
such
as
indicated
resentment
and
fury
he
came
directly
from
the
shoal
which
we
had
just
before
entered
and
in
which
we
had
struck
three
of
his
companions
as
if
fired
with
revenge
for
their
sufferings
again
at
all
events
the
whole
circumstances
taken
together
all
happening
before
my
own
eyes
and
producing
at
the
time
impressions
in
my
mind
of
decided
calculating
mischief
on
the
part
of
the
whale
many
of
which
impressions
i
cannot
now
recall
induce
me
to
be
satisfied
that
i
am
correct
in
my
opinion
here
are
his
reflections
some
time
after
quitting
the
ship
during
a
black
night
in
an
open
boat
when
almost
despairing
of
reaching
any
hospitable
shore
the
dark
ocean
and
swelling
waters
were
nothing
the
fears
of
being
swallowed
up
by
some
dreadful
tempest
or
dashed
upon
hidden
rocks
with
all
the
other
ordinary
subjects
of
fearful
contemplation
seemed
scarcely
entitled
to
a
moments
thought
the
dismal
looking
wreck
and
the
horrid
aspect
and
revenge
of
the
whale
wholly
engrossed
my
reflections
until
day
again
made
its
appearance
in
another
place
p
he
speaks
of
the
mysterious
and
mortal
attack
of
the
animal
though
consumed
with
the
hot
fire
of
his
purpose
ahab
in
all
his
thoughts
and
actions
ever
had
in
view
the
ultimate
capture
of
moby
dick
though
he
seemed
ready
to
sacrifice
all
mortal
interests
to
that
one
passion
nevertheless
it
may
have
been
that
he
was
by
nature
and
long
habituation
far
too
wedded
to
a
fiery
whalemans
ways
altogether
to
abandon
the
collateral
prosecution
of
the
voyage
or
at
least
if
this
were
otherwise
there
were
not
wanting
other
motives
much
more
influential
with
him
it
would
be
refining
too
much
perhaps
even
considering
his
monomania
to
hint
that
his
vindictiveness
towards
the
white
whale
might
have
possibly
extended
itself
in
some
degree
to
all
sperm
whales
and
that
the
more
monsters
he
slew
by
so
much
the
more
he
multiplied
the
chances
that
each
subsequently
encountered
whale
would
prove
to
be
the
hated
one
he
hunted
but
if
such
an
hypothesis
be
indeed
exceptionable
there
were
still
additional
considerations
which
though
not
so
strictly
according
with
the
wildness
of
his
ruling
passion
yet
were
by
no
means
incapable
of
swaying
him
to
accomplish
his
object
ahab
must
use
tools
and
of
all
tools
used
in
the
shadow
of
the
moon
men
are
most
apt
to
get
out
of
order
he
knew
for
example
that
however
magnetic
his
ascendency
in
some
respects
was
over
starbuck
yet
that
ascendency
did
not
cover
the
complete
spiritual
man
any
more
than
mere
corporeal
superiority
involves
intellectual
mastership
for
to
the
purely
spiritual
the
intellectual
but
stand
in
a
sort
of
corporeal
relation
starbucks
body
and
starbucks
coerced
will
were
ahabs
so
long
as
ahab
kept
his
magnet
at
starbucks
brain
still
he
knew
that
for
all
this
the
chief
mate
in
his
soul
abhorred
his
captains
quest
and
could
he
would
joyfully
disintegrate
himself
from
it
or
even
frustrate
it
it
might
be
that
a
long
interval
would
elapse
ere
the
white
whale
was
seen
during
that
long
interval
starbuck
would
ever
be
apt
to
fall
into
open
relapses
of
rebellion
against
his
captains
leadership
unless
some
ordinary
prudential
circumstantial
influences
were
brought
to
bear
upon
him
not
only
that
but
the
subtle
insanity
of
ahab
respecting
moby
dick
was
noways
more
significantly
manifested
than
in
his
superlative
sense
and
shrewdness
in
foreseeing
that
for
the
present
the
hunt
should
in
some
way
be
stripped
of
that
strange
imaginative
impiousness
which
naturally
invested
it
that
the
full
terror
of
the
voyage
must
be
kept
withdrawn
into
the
obscure
background
for
few
mens
courage
is
proof
against
protracted
meditation
unrelieved
by
action
that
when
they
stood
their
long
night
watches
his
officers
and
men
must
have
some
nearer
things
to
think
of
than
moby
dick
for
however
eagerly
and
impetuously
the
savage
crew
had
hailed
the
announcement
of
his
quest
yet
all
sailors
of
all
sorts
are
more
or
less
capricious
and
unreliable
they
live
in
the
varying
outer
weather
and
they
inhale
its
fickleness
and
when
retained
for
any
object
remote
and
blank
in
the
pursuit
however
promissory
of
life
and
passion
in
the
end
it
is
above
all
things
requisite
that
temporary
interests
and
employment
should
intervene
and
hold
them
healthily
suspended
for
the
final
dash
nor
was
ahab
unmindful
of
another
thing
in
times
of
strong
emotion
mankind
disdain
all
base
considerations
but
such
times
are
evanescent
the
permanent
constitutional
condition
of
the
manufactured
man
thought
ahab
is
sordidness
granting
that
the
white
whale
fully
incites
the
hearts
of
this
my
savage
crew
and
playing
round
their
savageness
even
breeds
a
certain
generous
knight
errantism
in
them
still
while
for
the
love
of
it
they
give
chase
to
moby
dick
they
must
also
have
food
for
their
more
common
daily
appetites
for
even
the
high
lifted
and
chivalric
crusaders
of
old
times
were
not
content
to
traverse
two
thousand
miles
of
land
to
fight
for
their
holy
sepulchre
without
committing
burglaries
picking
pockets
and
gaining
other
pious
perquisites
by
the
way
had
they
been
strictly
held
to
their
one
final
and
romantic
object
that
final
and
romantic
object
too
many
would
have
turned
from
in
disgust
i
will
not
strip
these
men
thought
ahab
of
all
hopes
of
cash
aye
cash
they
may
scorn
cash
now
but
let
some
months
go
by
and
no
perspective
promise
of
it
to
them
and
then
this
same
quiescent
cash
all
at
once
mutinying
in
them
this
same
cash
would
soon
cashier
ahab
nor
was
there
wanting
still
another
precautionary
motive
more
related
to
ahab
personally
having
impulsively
it
is
probable
and
perhaps
somewhat
prematurely
revealed
the
prime
but
private
purpose
of
the
pequods
voyage
ahab
was
now
entirely
conscious
that
in
so
doing
he
had
indirectly
laid
himself
open
to
the
unanswerable
charge
of
usurpation
and
with
perfect
impunity
both
moral
and
legal
his
crew
if
so
disposed
and
to
that
end
competent
could
refuse
all
further
obedience
to
him
and
even
violently
wrest
from
him
the
command
from
even
the
barely
hinted
imputation
of
usurpation
and
the
possible
consequences
of
such
a
suppressed
impression
gaining
ground
ahab
must
of
course
have
been
most
anxious
to
protect
himself
that
protection
could
only
consist
in
his
own
predominating
brain
and
heart
and
hand
backed
by
a
heedful
closely
calculating
attention
to
every
minute
atmospheric
influence
which
it
was
possible
for
his
crew
to
be
subjected
to
for
all
these
reasons
then
and
others
perhaps
too
analytic
to
be
verbally
developed
here
ahab
plainly
saw
that
he
must
still
in
a
good
degree
continue
true
to
the
natural
nominal
purpose
of
the
pequods
voyage
observe
all
customary
usages
and
not
only
that
but
force
himself
to
evince
all
his
well
known
passionate
interest
in
the
general
pursuit
of
his
profession
be
all
this
as
it
may
his
voice
was
now
often
heard
hailing
the
three
mast
heads
and
admonishing
them
to
keep
a
bright
look
out
and
not
omit
reporting
even
a
porpoise
this
vigilance
was
not
long
without
reward
it
was
a
cloudy
sultry
afternoon
the
seamen
were
lazily
lounging
about
the
decks
or
vacantly
gazing
over
into
the
lead
colored
waters
queequeg
and
i
were
mildly
employed
weaving
what
is
called
a
sword
mat
for
an
additional
lashing
to
our
boat
so
still
and
subdued
and
yet
somehow
preluding
was
all
the
scene
and
such
an
incantation
of
revery
lurked
in
the
air
that
each
silent
sailor
seemed
resolved
into
his
own
invisible
self
i
was
the
attendant
or
page
of
queequeg
while
busy
at
the
mat
as
i
kept
passing
and
repassing
the
filling
or
woof
of
marline
between
the
long
yarns
of
the
warp
using
my
own
hand
for
the
shuttle
and
as
queequeg
standing
sideways
ever
and
anon
slid
his
heavy
oaken
sword
between
the
threads
and
idly
looking
off
upon
the
water
carelessly
and
unthinkingly
drove
home
every
yarn
i
say
so
strange
a
dreaminess
did
there
then
reign
all
over
the
ship
and
all
over
the
sea
only
broken
by
the
intermitting
dull
sound
of
the
sword
that
it
seemed
as
if
this
were
the
loom
of
time
and
i
myself
were
a
shuttle
mechanically
weaving
and
weaving
away
at
the
fates
there
lay
the
fixed
threads
of
the
warp
subject
to
but
one
single
ever
returning
unchanging
vibration
and
that
vibration
merely
enough
to
admit
of
the
crosswise
interblending
of
other
threads
with
its
own
this
warp
seemed
necessity
and
here
thought
i
with
my
own
hand
i
ply
my
own
shuttle
and
weave
my
own
destiny
into
these
unalterable
threads
meantime
queequegs
impulsive
indifferent
sword
sometimes
hitting
the
woof
slantingly
or
crookedly
or
strongly
or
weakly
as
the
case
might
be
and
by
this
difference
in
the
concluding
blow
producing
a
corresponding
contrast
in
the
final
aspect
of
the
completed
fabric
this
savages
sword
thought
i
which
thus
finally
shapes
and
fashions
both
warp
and
woof
this
easy
indifferent
sword
must
be
chance
aye
chance
free
will
and
necessity
no
wise
incompatible
all
interweavingly
working
together
the
straight
warp
of
necessity
not
to
be
swerved
from
its
ultimate
course
its
every
alternating
vibration
indeed
only
tending
to
that
free
will
still
free
to
ply
her
shuttle
between
given
threads
and
chance
though
restrained
in
its
play
within
the
right
lines
of
necessity
and
sideways
in
its
motions
directed
by
free
will
though
thus
prescribed
to
by
both
chance
by
turns
rules
either
and
has
the
last
featuring
blow
at
events
thus
we
were
weaving
and
weaving
away
when
i
started
at
a
sound
so
strange
long
drawn
and
musically
wild
and
unearthly
that
the
ball
of
free
will
dropped
from
my
hand
and
i
stood
gazing
up
at
the
clouds
whence
that
voice
dropped
like
a
wing
high
aloft
in
the
cross
trees
was
that
mad
gay
header
tashtego
his
body
was
reaching
eagerly
forward
his
hand
stretched
out
like
a
wand
and
at
brief
sudden
intervals
he
continued
his
cries
to
be
sure
the
same
sound
was
that
very
moment
perhaps
being
heard
all
over
the
seas
from
hundreds
of
whalemens
look
outs
perched
as
high
in
the
air
but
from
few
of
those
lungs
could
that
accustomed
old
cry
have
derived
such
a
marvellous
cadence
as
from
tashtego
the
indians
as
he
stood
hovering
over
you
half
suspended
in
air
so
wildly
and
eagerly
peering
towards
the
horizon
you
would
have
thought
him
some
prophet
or
seer
beholding
the
shadows
of
fate
and
by
those
wild
cries
announcing
their
coming
there
she
blows
there
there
there
she
blows
she
blows
where
away
on
the
lee
beam
about
two
miles
off
a
school
of
them
instantly
all
was
commotion
the
sperm
whale
blows
as
a
clock
ticks
with
the
same
undeviating
and
reliable
uniformity
and
thereby
whalemen
distinguish
this
fish
from
other
tribes
of
his
genus
there
go
flukes
was
now
the
cry
from
tashtego
and
the
whales
disappeared
quick
steward
cried
ahab
time
time
dough
boy
hurried
below
glanced
at
the
watch
and
reported
the
exact
minute
to
ahab
the
ship
was
now
kept
away
from
the
wind
and
she
went
gently
rolling
before
it
tashtego
reporting
that
the
whales
had
gone
down
heading
to
leeward
we
confidently
looked
to
see
them
again
directly
in
advance
of
our
bows
for
that
singular
craft
at
times
evinced
by
the
sperm
whale
when
sounding
with
his
head
in
one
direction
he
nevertheless
while
concealed
beneath
the
surface
mills
round
and
swiftly
swims
off
in
the
opposite
quarter
this
deceitfulness
of
his
could
not
now
be
in
action
for
there
was
no
reason
to
suppose
that
the
fish
seen
by
tashtego
had
been
in
any
way
alarmed
or
indeed
knew
at
all
of
our
vicinity
one
of
the
men
selected
for
shipkeepers
that
is
those
not
appointed
to
the
boats
by
this
time
relieved
the
indian
at
the
main
mast
head
the
sailors
at
the
fore
and
mizzen
had
come
down
the
line
tubs
were
fixed
in
their
places
the
cranes
were
thrust
out
the
mainyard
was
backed
and
the
three
boats
swung
over
the
sea
like
three
samphire
baskets
over
high
cliffs
outside
of
the
bulwarks
their
eager
crews
with
one
hand
clung
to
the
rail
while
one
foot
was
expectantly
poised
on
the
gunwale
so
look
the
long
line
of
man
of
wars
men
about
to
throw
themselves
on
board
an
enemys
ship
but
at
this
critical
instant
a
sudden
exclamation
was
heard
that
took
every
eye
from
the
whale
with
a
start
all
glared
at
dark
ahab
who
was
surrounded
by
five
dusky
phantoms
that
seemed
fresh
formed
out
of
air
the
phantoms
for
so
they
then
seemed
were
flitting
on
the
other
side
of
the
deck
and
with
a
noiseless
celerity
were
casting
loose
the
tackles
and
bands
of
the
boat
which
swung
there
this
boat
had
always
been
deemed
one
of
the
spare
boats
though
technically
called
the
captains
on
account
of
its
hanging
from
the
starboard
quarter
the
figure
that
now
stood
by
its
bows
was
tall
and
swart
with
one
white
tooth
evilly
protruding
from
its
steel
like
lips
a
rumpled
chinese
jacket
of
black
cotton
funereally
invested
him
with
wide
black
trowsers
of
the
same
dark
stuff
but
strangely
crowning
his
ebonness
was
a
glistening
white
plaited
turban
the
living
hair
braided
and
coiled
round
and
round
upon
his
head
less
swart
in
aspect
the
companions
of
this
figure
were
of
that
vivid
tiger
yellow
complexion
peculiar
to
some
of
the
aboriginal
natives
of
the
manillas
a
race
notorious
for
a
certain
diabolism
of
subtilty
and
by
some
honest
white
mariners
supposed
to
be
the
paid
spies
and
secret
confidential
agents
on
the
water
of
the
devil
their
lord
whose
counting
room
they
suppose
to
be
elsewhere
while
yet
the
wondering
ships
company
were
gazing
upon
these
strangers
ahab
cried
out
to
the
white
turbaned
old
man
at
their
head
all
ready
there
fedallah
ready
was
the
half
hissed
reply
lower
away
then
dye
hear
shouting
across
the
deck
lower
away
there
i
say
such
was
the
thunder
of
his
voice
that
spite
of
their
amazement
the
men
sprang
over
the
rail
the
sheaves
whirled
round
in
the
blocks
with
a
wallow
the
three
boats
dropped
into
the
sea
while
with
a
dexterous
off
handed
daring
unknown
in
any
other
vocation
the
sailors
goat
like
leaped
down
the
rolling
ships
side
into
the
tossed
boats
below
hardly
had
they
pulled
out
from
under
the
ships
lee
when
a
fourth
keel
coming
from
the
windward
side
pulled
round
under
the
stern
and
showed
the
five
strangers
rowing
ahab
who
standing
erect
in
the
stern
loudly
hailed
starbuck
stubb
and
flask
to
spread
themselves
widely
so
as
to
cover
a
large
expanse
of
water
but
with
all
their
eyes
again
riveted
upon
the
swart
fedallah
and
his
crew
the
inmates
of
the
other
boats
obeyed
not
the
command
captain
ahab
said
starbuck

ahab

showed
signs
of
uneasiness

marling
spikes
stubbs
exordium
to
his
crew
is
given
here
at
large
because
he
had
rather
a
peculiar
way
of
talking
to
them
in
general
and
especially
in
inculcating
the
religion
of
rowing
but
you
must
not
suppose
from
this
specimen
of
his
sermonizings
that
he
ever
flew
into
downright
passions
with
his
congregation
not
at
all
and
therein
consisted
his
chief
peculiarity
he
would
say
the
most
terrific
things
to
his
crew
in
a
tone
so
strangely
compounded
of
fun
and
fury
and
the
fury
seemed
so
calculated
merely
as
a
spice
to
the
fun
that
no
oarsman
could
hear
such
queer
invocations
without
pulling
for
dear
life
and
yet
pulling
for
the
mere
joke
of
the
thing
besides
he
all
the
time
looked
so
easy
and
indolent
himself
so
loungingly
managed
his
steering
oar
and
so
broadly
gaped
open
mouthed
at
times
that
the
mere
sight
of
such
a
yawning
commander
by
sheer
force
of
contrast
acted
like
a
charm
upon
the
crew
then
again
stubb
was
one
of
those
odd
sort
of
humorists
whose
jollity
is
sometimes
so
curiously
ambiguous
as
to
put
all
inferiors
on
their
guard
in
the
matter
of
obeying
them
in
obedience
to
a
sign
from
ahab
starbuck
was
now
pulling
obliquely
across
stubbs
bow
and
when
for
a
minute
or
so
the
two
boats
were
pretty
near
to
each
other
stubb
hailed
the
mate
mr
starbuck
larboard
boat
there
ahoy
a
word
with
ye
sir
if
ye
please
halloa
returned
starbuck
turning
round
not
a
single
inch
as
he
spoke
still
earnestly
but
whisperingly
urging
his
crew
his
face
set
like
a
flint
from
stubbs
what
think
ye
of
those
yellow
boys
sir
smuggled
on
board
somehow
before
the
ship
sailed
strong
strong
boys
in
a
whisper
to
his
crew
then
speaking
out
loud
again
a
sad
business
mr
stubb
seethe
her
seethe
her
my
lads
but
never
mind
mr
stubb
all
for
the
best
let
all
your
crew
pull
strong
come
what
will
spring
my
men
spring
theres
hogsheads
of
sperm
ahead
mr
stubb
and
thats
what
ye
came
for
pull
my
boys
sperm
sperms
the
play
this
at
least
is
duty
duty
and
profit
hand
in
hand
aye
aye
i
thought
as
much
soliloquized
stubb
when
the
boats
diverged
as
soon
as
i
clapt
eye
on
em
i
thought
so
aye
and
thats
what
he
went
into
the
after
hold
for
so
often
as
dough
boy
long
suspected
they
were
hidden
down
there
the
white
whales
at
the
bottom
of
it
well
well
so
be
it
cant
be
helped
all
right
give
way
men
it
aint
the
white
whale
to
day
give
way
now
the
advent
of
these
outlandish
strangers
at
such
a
critical
instant
as
the
lowering
of
the
boats
from
the
deck
this
had
not
unreasonably
awakened
a
sort
of
superstitious
amazement
in
some
of
the
ships
company
but
archys
fancied
discovery
having
some
time
previous
got
abroad
among
them
though
indeed
not
credited
then
this
had
in
some
small
measure
prepared
them
for
the
event
it
took
off
the
extreme
edge
of
their
wonder
and
so
what
with
all
this
and
stubbs
confident
way
of
accounting
for
their
appearance
they
were
for
the
time
freed
from
superstitious
surmisings
though
the
affair
still
left
abundant
room
for
all
manner
of
wild
conjectures
as
to
dark
ahabs
precise
agency
in
the
matter
from
the
beginning
for
me
i
silently
recalled
the
mysterious
shadows
i
had
seen
creeping
on
board
the
pequod
during
the
dim
nantucket
dawn
as
well
as
the
enigmatical
hintings
of
the
unaccountable
elijah
meantime
ahab
out
of
hearing
of
his
officers
having
sided
the
furthest
to
windward
was
still
ranging
ahead
of
the
other
boats
a
circumstance
bespeaking
how
potent
a
crew
was
pulling
him
those
tiger
yellow
creatures
of
his
seemed
all
steel
and
whale
bone
like
five
trip
hammers
they
rose
and
fell
with
regular
strokes
of
strength
which
periodically
started
the
boat
along
the
water
like
a
horizontal
burst
boiler
out
of
a
mississippi
steamer
as
for
fedallah
who
was
seen
pulling
the
harpooneer
oar
he
had
thrown
aside
his
black
jacket
and
displayed
his
naked
chest
with
the
whole
part
of
his
body
above
the
gunwale
clearly
cut
against
the
alternating
depressions
of
the
watery
horizon
while
at
the
other
end
of
the
boat
ahab
with
one
arm
like
a
fencers
thrown
half
backward
into
the
air
as
if
to
counterbalance
any
tendency
to
trip
ahab
was
seen
steadily
managing
his
steering
oar
as
in
a
thousand
boat
lowerings
ere
the
white
whale
had
torn
him
all
at
once
the
out
stretched
arm
gave
a
peculiar
motion
and
then
remained
fixed
while
the
boats
five
oars
were
seen
simultaneously
peaked
boat
and
crew
sat
motionless
on
the
sea
instantly
the
three
spread
boats
in
the
rear
paused
on
their
way
the
whales
had
irregularly
settled
bodily
down
into
the
blue
thus
giving
no
distantly
discernible
token
of
the
movement
though
from
his
closer
vicinity
ahab
had
observed
it
every
man
look
out
along
his
oars
cried
starbuck
thou
queequeg
stand
up
nimbly
springing
up
on
the
triangular
raised
box
in
the
bow
the
savage
stood
erect
there
and
with
intensely
eager
eyes
gazed
off
towards
the
spot
where
the
chase
had
last
been
descried
likewise
upon
the
extreme
stern
of
the
boat
where
it
was
also
triangularly
platformed
level
with
the
gunwale
starbuck
himself
was
seen
coolly
and
adroitly
balancing
himself
to
the
jerking
tossings
of
his
chip
of
a
craft
and
silently
eyeing
the
vast
blue
eye
of
the
sea
not
very
far
distant
flasks
boat
was
also
lying
breathlessly
still
its
commander
recklessly
standing
upon
the
top
of
the
loggerhead
a
stout
sort
of
post
rooted
in
the
keel
and
rising
some
two
feet
above
the
level
of
the
stern
platform
it
is
used
for
catching
turns
with
the
whale
line
its
top
is
not
more
spacious
than
the
palm
of
a
mans
hand
and
standing
upon
such
a
base
as
that
flask
seemed
perched
at
the
mast
head
of
some
ship
which
had
sunk
to
all
but
her
trucks
but
little
king
post
was
small
and
short
and
at
the
same
time
little
king
post
was
full
of
a
large
and
tall
ambition
so
that
this
loggerhead
stand
point
of
his
did
by
no
means
satisfy
king
post
i
cant
see
three
seas
off
tip
us
up
an
oar
there
and
let
me
on
to
that
upon
this
daggoo
with
either
hand
upon
the
gunwale
to
steady
his
way
swiftly
slid
aft
and
then
erecting
himself
volunteered
his
lofty
shoulders
for
a
pedestal
good
a
mast
head
as
any
sir
will
you
mount
that
i
will
and
thank
ye
very
much
my
fine
fellow
only
i
wish
you
fifty
feet
taller
whereupon
planting
his
feet
firmly
against
two
opposite
planks
of
the
boat
the
gigantic
negro
stooping
a
little
presented
his
flat
palm
to
flasks
foot
and
then
putting
flasks
hand
on
his
hearse
plumed
head
and
bidding
him
spring
as
he
himself
should
toss
with
one
dexterous
fling
landed
the
little
man
high
and
dry
on
his
shoulders
and
here
was
flask
now
standing
daggoo
with
one
lifted
arm
furnishing
him
with
a
breast
band
to
lean
against
and
steady
himself
by
at
any
time
it
is
a
strange
sight
to
the
tyro
to
see
with
what
wondrous
habitude
of
unconscious
skill
the
whaleman
will
maintain
an
erect
posture
in
his
boat
even
when
pitched
about
by
the
most
riotously
perverse
and
cross
running
seas
still
more
strange
to
see
him
giddily
perched
upon
the
loggerhead
itself
under
such
circumstances
but
the
sight
of
little
flask
mounted
upon
gigantic
daggoo
was
yet
more
curious
for
sustaining
himself
with
a
cool
indifferent
easy
unthought
of
barbaric
majesty
the
noble
negro
to
every
roll
of
the
sea
harmoniously
rolled
his
fine
form
on
his
broad
back
flaxen
haired
flask
seemed
a
snow
flake
the
bearer
looked
nobler
than
the
rider
though
truly
vivacious
tumultuous
ostentatious
little
flask
would
now
and
then
stamp
with
impatience
but
not
one
added
heave
did
he
thereby
give
to
the
negros
lordly
chest
so
have
i
seen
passion
and
vanity
stamping
the
living
magnanimous
earth
but
the
earth
did
not
alter
her
tides
and
her
seasons
for
that
meanwhile
stubb
the
third
mate
betrayed
no
such
far
gazing
solicitudes
the
whales
might
have
made
one
of
their
regular
soundings
not
a
temporary
dive
from
mere
fright
and
if
that
were
the
case
stubb
as
his
wont
in
such
cases
it
seems
was
resolved
to
solace
the
languishing
interval
with
his
pipe
he
withdrew
it
from
his
hatband
where
he
always
wore
it
aslant
like
a
feather
he
loaded
it
and
rammed
home
the
loading
with
his
thumb
end
but
hardly
had
he
ignited
his
match
across
the
rough
sand
paper
of
his
hand
when
tashtego
his
harpooneer
whose
eyes
had
been
setting
to
windward
like
two
fixed
stars
suddenly
dropped
like
light
from
his
erect
attitude
to
his
seat
crying
out
in
a
quick
phrensy
of
hurry
down
down
all
and
give
way
there
they
are
to
a
landsman
no
whale
nor
any
sign
of
a
herring
would
have
been
visible
at
that
moment
nothing
but
a
troubled
bit
of
greenish
white
water
and
thin
scattered
puffs
of
vapor
hovering
over
it
and
suffusingly
blowing
off
to
leeward
like
the
confused
scud
from
white
rolling
billows
the
air
around
suddenly
vibrated
and
tingled
as
it
were
like
the
air
over
intensely
heated
plates
of
iron
beneath
this
atmospheric
waving
and
curling
and
partially
beneath
a
thin
layer
of
water
also
the
whales
were
swimming
seen
in
advance
of
all
the
other
indications
the
puffs
of
vapor
they
spouted
seemed
their
forerunning
couriers
and
detached
flying
outriders
all
four
boats
were
now
in
keen
pursuit
of
that
one
spot
of
troubled
water
and
air
but
it
bade
far
to
outstrip
them
it
flew
on
and
on
as
a
mass
of
interblending
bubbles
borne
down
a
rapid
stream
from
the
hills
pull
pull
my
good
boys
said
starbuck
in
the
lowest
possible
but
intensest
concentrated
whisper
to
his
men
while
the
sharp
fixed
glance
from
his
eyes
darted
straight
ahead
of
the
bow
almost
seemed
as
two
visible
needles
in
two
unerring
binnacle
compasses
he
did
not
say
much
to
his
crew
though
nor
did
his
crew
say
anything
to
him
only
the
silence
of
the
boat
was
at
intervals
startlingly
pierced
by
one
of
his
peculiar
whispers
now
harsh
with
command
now
soft
with
entreaty
how
different
the
loud
little
king
post
sing
out
and
say
something
my
hearties
roar
and
pull
my
thunderbolts
beach
me
beach
me
on
their
black
backs
boys
only
do
that
for
me
and
ill
sign
over
to
you
my
marthas
vineyard
plantation
boys
including
wife
and
children
boys
lay
me
on
lay
me
on
o
lord
lord
but
i
shall
go
stark
staring
mad
see
see
that
white
water
and
so
shouting
he
pulled
his
hat
from
his
head
and
stamped
up
and
down
on
it
then
picking
it
up
flirted
it
far
off
upon
the
sea
and
finally
fell
to
rearing
and
plunging
in
the
boats
stern
like
a
crazed
colt
from
the
prairie
look
at
that
chap
now
philosophically
drawled
stubb
who
with
his
unlighted
short
pipe
mechanically
retained
between
his
teeth
at
a
short
distance
followed
after
hes
got
fits
that
flask
has
fits
yes
give
him
fits
thats
the
very
word
pitch
fits
into
em
merrily
merrily
hearts
alive
pudding
for
supper
you
know
merrys
the
word
pull
babes
pull
sucklings
pull
all
but
what
the
devil
are
you
hurrying
about
softly
softly
and
steadily
my
men
only
pull
and
keep
pulling
nothing
more
crack
all
your
backbones
and
bite
your
knives
in
two
thats
all
take
it
easy
why
dont
ye
take
it
easy
i
say
and
burst
all
your
livers
and
lungs
but
what
it
was
that
inscrutable
ahab
said
to
that
tiger
yellow
crew
of
his
these
were
words
best
omitted
here
for
you
live
under
the
blessed
light
of
the
evangelical
land
only
the
infidel
sharks
in
the
audacious
seas
may
give
ear
to
such
words
when
with
tornado
brow
and
eyes
of
red
murder
and
foam
glued
lips
ahab
leaped
after
his
prey
meanwhile
all
the
boats
tore
on
the
repeated
specific
allusions
of
flask
to
that
whale
as
he
called
the
fictitious
monster
which
he
declared
to
be
incessantly
tantalizing
his
boats
bow
with
its
tail
these
allusions
of
his
were
at
times
so
vivid
and
life
like
that
they
would
cause
some
one
or
two
of
his
men
to
snatch
a
fearful
look
over
the
shoulder
but
this
was
against
all
rule
for
the
oarsmen
must
put
out
their
eyes
and
ram
a
skewer
through
their
necks
usage
pronouncing
that
they
must
have
no
organs
but
ears
and
no
limbs
but
arms
in
these
critical
moments
it
was
a
sight
full
of
quick
wonder
and
awe
the
vast
swells
of
the
omnipotent
sea
the
surging
hollow
roar
they
made
as
they
rolled
along
the
eight
gunwales
like
gigantic
bowls
in
a
boundless
bowling
green
the
brief
suspended
agony
of
the
boat
as
it
would
tip
for
an
instant
on
the
knife
like
edge
of
the
sharper
waves
that
almost
seemed
threatening
to
cut
it
in
two
the
sudden
profound
dip
into
the
watery
glens
and
hollows
the
keen
spurrings
and
goadings
to
gain
the
top
of
the
opposite
hill
the
headlong
sled
like
slide
down
its
other
side
all
these
with
the
cries
of
the
headsmen
and
harpooneers
and
the
shuddering
gasps
of
the
oarsmen
with
the
wondrous
sight
of
the
ivory
pequod
bearing
down
upon
her
boats
with
outstretched
sails
like
a
wild
hen
after
her
screaming
brood
all
this
was
thrilling
not
the
raw
recruit
marching
from
the
bosom
of
his
wife
into
the
fever
heat
of
his
first
battle
not
the
dead
mans
ghost
encountering
the
first
unknown
phantom
in
the
other
world
neither
of
these
can
feel
stranger
and
stronger
emotions
than
that
man
does
who
for
the
first
time
finds
himself
pulling
into
the
charmed
churned
circle
of
the
hunted
sperm
whale
the
dancing
white
water
made
by
the
chase
was
now
becoming
more
and
more
visible
owing
to
the
increasing
darkness
of
the
dun
cloud
shadows
flung
upon
the
sea
the
jets
of
vapor
no
longer
blended
but
tilted
everywhere
to
right
and
left
the
whales
seemed
separating
their
wakes
the
boats
were
pulled
more
apart
starbuck
giving
chase
to
three
whales
running
dead
to
leeward
our
sail
was
now
set
and
with
the
still
rising
wind
we
rushed
along
the
boat
going
with
such
madness
through
the
water
that
the
lee
oars
could
scarcely
be
worked
rapidly
enough
to
escape
being
torn
from
the
row
locks
soon
we
were
running
through
a
suffusing
wide
veil
of
mist
neither
ship
nor
boat
to
be
seen
give
way
men
whispered
starbuck
drawing
still
further
aft
the
sheet
of
his
sail
there
is
time
to
kill
a
fish
yet
before
the
squall
comes
theres
white
water
again
close
to
spring
soon
after
two
cries
in
quick
succession
on
each
side
of
us
denoted
that
the
other
boats
had
got
fast
but
hardly
were
they
overheard
when
with
a
lightning
like
hurtling
whisper
starbuck
said
stand
up
and
queequeg
harpoon
in
hand
sprang
to
his
feet
though
not
one
of
the
oarsmen
was
then
facing
the
life
and
death
peril
so
close
to
them
ahead
yet
with
their
eyes
on
the
intense
countenance
of
the
mate
in
the
stern
of
the
boat
they
knew
that
the
imminent
instant
had
come
they
heard
too
an
enormous
wallowing
sound
as
of
fifty
elephants
stirring
in
their
litter
meanwhile
the
boat
was
still
booming
through
the
mist
the
waves
curling
and
hissing
around
us
like
the
erected
crests
of
enraged
serpents
thats
his
hump
there
there
give
it
to
him
whispered
starbuck
a
short
rushing
sound
leaped
out
of
the
boat
it
was
the
darted
iron
of
queequeg
then
all
in
one
welded
commotion
came
an
invisible
push
from
astern
while
forward
the
boat
seemed
striking
on
a
ledge
the
sail
collapsed
and
exploded
a
gush
of
scalding
vapor
shot
up
near
by
something
rolled
and
tumbled
like
an
earthquake
beneath
us
the
whole
crew
were
half
suffocated
as
they
were
tossed
helter
skelter
into
the
white
curdling
cream
of
the
squall
squall
whale
and
harpoon
had
all
blended
together
and
the
whale
merely
grazed
by
the
iron
escaped
though
completely
swamped
the
boat
was
nearly
unharmed
swimming
round
it
we
picked
up
the
floating
oars
and
lashing
them
across
the
gunwale
tumbled
back
to
our
places
there
we
sat
up
to
our
knees
in
the
sea
the
water
covering
every
rib
and
plank
so
that
to
our
downward
gazing
eyes
the
suspended
craft
seemed
a
coral
boat
grown
up
to
us
from
the
bottom
of
the
ocean
the
wind
increased
to
a
howl
the
waves
dashed
their
bucklers
together
the
whole
squall
roared
forked
and
crackled
around
us
like
a
white
fire
upon
the
prairie
in
which
unconsumed
we
were
burning
immortal
in
these
jaws
of
death
in
vain
we
hailed
the
other
boats
as
well
roar
to
the
live
coals
down
the
chimney
of
a
flaming
furnace
as
hail
those
boats
in
that
storm
meanwhile
the
driving
scud
rack
and
mist
grew
darker
with
the
shadows
of
night
no
sign
of
the
ship
could
be
seen
the
rising
sea
forbade
all
attempts
to
bale
out
the
boat
the
oars
were
useless
as
propellers
performing
now
the
office
of
life
preservers
so
cutting
the
lashing
of
the
water
proof
match
keg
after
many
failures
starbuck
contrived
to
ignite
the
lamp
in
the
lantern
then
stretching
it
on
a
waif
pole
handed
it
to
queequeg
as
the
standard
bearer
of
this
forlorn
hope
there
then
he
sat
holding
up
that
imbecile
candle
in
the
heart
of
that
almighty
forlornness
there
then
he
sat
the
sign
and
symbol
of
a
man
without
faith
hopelessly
holding
up
hope
in
the
midst
of
despair
wet
drenched
through
and
shivering
cold
despairing
of
ship
or
boat
we
lifted
up
our
eyes
as
the
dawn
came
on
the
mist
still
spread
over
the
sea
the
empty
lantern
lay
crushed
in
the
bottom
of
the
boat
suddenly
queequeg
started
to
his
feet
hollowing
his
hand
to
his
ear
we
all
heard
a
faint
creaking
as
of
ropes
and
yards
hitherto
muffled
by
the
storm
the
sound
came
nearer
and
nearer
the
thick
mists
were
dimly
parted
by
a
huge
vague
form
affrighted
we
all
sprang
into
the
sea
as
the
ship
at
last
loomed
into
view
bearing
right
down
upon
us
within
a
distance
of
not
much
more
than
its
length
floating
on
the
waves
we
saw
the
abandoned
boat
as
for
one
instant
it
tossed
and
gaped
beneath
the
ships
bows
like
a
chip
at
the
base
of
a
cataract
and
then
the
vast
hull
rolled
over
it
and
it
was
seen
no
more
till
it
came
up
weltering
astern
again
we
swam
for
it
were
dashed
against
it
by
the
seas
and
were
at
last
taken
up
and
safely
landed
on
board
ere
the
squall
came
close
to
the
other
boats
had
cut
loose
from
their
fish
and
returned
to
the
ship
in
good
time
the
ship
had
given
us
up
but
was
still
cruising
if
haply
it
might
light
upon
some
token
of
our
perishing
an
oar
or
a
lance
pole
there
are
certain
queer
times
and
occasions
in
this
strange
mixed
affair
we
call
life
when
a
man
takes
this
whole
universe
for
a
vast
practical
joke
though
the
wit
thereof
he
but
dimly
discerns
and
more
than
suspects
that
the
joke
is
at
nobodys
expense
but
his
own
however
nothing
dispirits
and
nothing
seems
worth
while
disputing
he
bolts
down
all
events
all
creeds
and
beliefs
and
persuasions
all
hard
things
visible
and
invisible
never
mind
how
knobby
as
an
ostrich
of
potent
digestion
gobbles
down
bullets
and
gun
flints
and
as
for
small
difficulties
and
worryings
prospects
of
sudden
disaster
peril
of
life
and
limb
all
these
and
death
itself
seem
to
him
only
sly
good
natured
hits
and
jolly
punches
in
the
side
bestowed
by
the
unseen
and
unaccountable
old
joker
that
odd
sort
of
wayward
mood
i
am
speaking
of
comes
over
a
man
only
in
some
time
of
extreme
tribulation
it
comes
in
the
very
midst
of
his
earnestness
so
that
what
just
before
might
have
seemed
to
him
a
thing
most
momentous
now
seems
but
a
part
of
the
general
joke
there
is
nothing
like
the
perils
of
whaling
to
breed
this
free
and
easy
sort
of
genial
desperado
philosophy
and
with
it
i
now
regarded
this
whole
voyage
of
the
pequod
and
the
great
white
whale
its
object
queequeg
said
i
when
they
had
dragged
me
the
last
man
to
the
deck
and
i
was
still
shaking
myself
in
my
jacket
to
fling
off
the
water
queequeg
my
fine
friend
does
this
sort
of
thing
often
happen
without
much
emotion
though
soaked
through
just
like
me
he
gave
me
to
understand
that
such
things
did
often
happen
mr
stubb
said
i
turning
to
that
worthy
who
buttoned
up
in
his
oil
jacket
was
now
calmly
smoking
his
pipe
in
the
rain
mr
stubb
i
think
i
have
heard
you
say
that
of
all
whalemen
you
ever
met
our
chief
mate
mr
starbuck
is
by
far
the
most
careful
and
prudent
i
suppose
then
that
going
plump
on
a
flying
whale
with
your
sail
set
in
a
foggy
squall
is
the
height
of
a
whalemans
discretion
certain
ive
lowered
for
whales
from
a
leaking
ship
in
a
gale
off
cape
horn
mr
flask
said
i
turning
to
little
king
post
who
was
standing
close
by
you
are
experienced
in
these
things
and
i
am
not
will
you
tell
me
whether
it
is
an
unalterable
law
in
this
fishery
mr
flask
for
an
oarsman
to
break
his
own
back
pulling
himself
back
foremost
into
deaths
jaws
cant
you
twist
that
smaller
said
flask
yes
thats
the
law
i
should
like
to
see
a
boats
crew
backing
water
up
to
a
whale
face
foremost
ha
ha
the
whale
would
give
them
squint
for
squint
mind
that
here
then
from
three
impartial
witnesses
i
had
a
deliberate
statement
of
the
entire
case
considering
therefore
that
squalls
and
capsizings
in
the
water
and
consequent
bivouacks
on
the
deep
were
matters
of
common
occurrence
in
this
kind
of
life
considering
that
at
the
superlatively
critical
instant
of
going
on
to
the
whale
i
must
resign
my
life
into
the
hands
of
him
who
steered
the
boat
oftentimes
a
fellow
who
at
that
very
moment
is
in
his
impetuousness
upon
the
point
of
scuttling
the
craft
with
his
own
frantic
stampings
considering
that
the
particular
disaster
to
our
own
particular
boat
was
chiefly
to
be
imputed
to
starbucks
driving
on
to
his
whale
almost
in
the
teeth
of
a
squall
and
considering
that
starbuck
notwithstanding
was
famous
for
his
great
heedfulness
in
the
fishery
considering
that
i
belonged
to
this
uncommonly
prudent
starbucks
boat
and
finally
considering
in
what
a
devils
chase
i
was
implicated
touching
the
white
whale
taking
all
things
together
i
say
i
thought
i
might
as
well
go
below
and
make
a
rough
draft
of
my
will
queequeg
said
i
come
along
you
shall
be
my
lawyer
executor
and
legatee
it
may
seem
strange
that
of
all
men
sailors
should
be
tinkering
at
their
last
wills
and
testaments
but
there
are
no
people
in
the
world
more
fond
of
that
diversion
this
was
the
fourth
time
in
my
nautical
life
that
i
had
done
the
same
thing
after
the
ceremony
was
concluded
upon
the
present
occasion
i
felt
all
the
easier
a
stone
was
rolled
away
from
my
heart
besides
all
the
days
i
should
now
live
would
be
as
good
as
the
days
that
lazarus
lived
after
his
resurrection
a
supplementary
clean
gain
of
so
many
months
or
weeks
as
the
case
might
be
i
survived
myself
my
death
and
burial
were
locked
up
in
my
chest
i
looked
round
me
tranquilly
and
contentedly
like
a
quiet
ghost
with
a
clean
conscience
sitting
inside
the
bars
of
a
snug
family
vault
now
then
thought
i
unconsciously
rolling
up
the
sleeves
of
my
frock
here
goes
a
cool
collected
dive
at
death
and
destruction
and
the
devil
fetch
the
hindmost
who
would
have
thought
it
flask
cried
stubb
if
i
had
but
one
leg
you
would
not
catch
me
in
a
boat
unless
maybe
to
stop
the
plug
hole
with
my
timber
toe
oh
hes
a
wonderful
old
man
i
dont
think
it
so
strange
after
all
on
that
account
said
flask
if
his
leg
were
off
at
the
hip
now
it
would
be
a
different
thing
that
would
disable
him
but
he
has
one
knee
and
good
part
of
the
other
left
you
know
i
dont
know
that
my
little
man
i
never
yet
saw
him
kneel
among
whale
wise
people
it
has
often
been
argued
whether
considering
the
paramount
importance
of
his
life
to
the
success
of
the
voyage
it
is
right
for
a
whaling
captain
to
jeopardize
that
life
in
the
active
perils
of
the
chase
so
tamerlanes
soldiers
often
argued
with
tears
in
their
eyes
whether
that
invaluable
life
of
his
ought
to
be
carried
into
the
thickest
of
the
fight
but
with
ahab
the
question
assumed
a
modified
aspect
considering
that
with
two
legs
man
is
but
a
hobbling
wight
in
all
times
of
danger
considering
that
the
pursuit
of
whales
is
always
under
great
and
extraordinary
difficulties
that
every
individual
moment
indeed
then
comprises
a
peril
under
these
circumstances
is
it
wise
for
any
maimed
man
to
enter
a
whale
boat
in
the
hunt
as
a
general
thing
the
joint
owners
of
the
pequod
must
have
plainly
thought
not
ahab
well
knew
that
although
his
friends
at
home
would
think
little
of
his
entering
a
boat
in
certain
comparatively
harmless
vicissitudes
of
the
chase
for
the
sake
of
being
near
the
scene
of
action
and
giving
his
orders
in
person
yet
for
captain
ahab
to
have
a
boat
actually
apportioned
to
him
as
a
regular
headsman
in
the
hunt
above
all
for
captain
ahab
to
be
supplied
with
five
extra
men
as
that
same
boats
crew
he
well
knew
that
such
generous
conceits
never
entered
the
heads
of
the
owners
of
the
pequod
therefore
he
had
not
solicited
a
boats
crew
from
them
nor
had
he
in
any
way
hinted
his
desires
on
that
head
nevertheless
he
had
taken
private
measures
of
his
own
touching
all
that
matter
until
cabacos
published
discovery
the
sailors
had
little
foreseen
it
though
to
be
sure
when
after
being
a
little
while
out
of
port
all
hands
had
concluded
the
customary
business
of
fitting
the
whaleboats
for
service
when
some
time
after
this
ahab
was
now
and
then
found
bestirring
himself
in
the
matter
of
making
thole
pins
with
his
own
hands
for
what
was
thought
to
be
one
of
the
spare
boats
and
even
solicitously
cutting
the
small
wooden
skewers
which
when
the
line
is
running
out
are
pinned
over
the
groove
in
the
bow
when
all
this
was
observed
in
him
and
particularly
his
solicitude
in
having
an
extra
coat
of
sheathing
in
the
bottom
of
the
boat
as
if
to
make
it
better
withstand
the
pointed
pressure
of
his
ivory
limb
and
also
the
anxiety
he
evinced
in
exactly
shaping
the
thigh
board
or
clumsy
cleat
as
it
is
sometimes
called
the
horizontal
piece
in
the
boats
bow
for
bracing
the
knee
against
in
darting
or
stabbing
at
the
whale
when
it
was
observed
how
often
he
stood
up
in
that
boat
with
his
solitary
knee
fixed
in
the
semi
circular
depression
in
the
cleat
and
with
the
carpenters
chisel
gouged
out
a
little
here
and
straightened
it
a
little
there
all
these
things
i
say
had
awakened
much
interest
and
curiosity
at
the
time
but
almost
everybody
supposed
that
this
particular
preparative
heedfulness
in
ahab
must
only
be
with
a
view
to
the
ultimate
chase
of
moby
dick
for
he
had
already
revealed
his
intention
to
hunt
that
mortal
monster
in
person
but
such
a
supposition
did
by
no
means
involve
the
remotest
suspicion
as
to
any
boats
crew
being
assigned
to
that
boat
now
with
the
subordinate
phantoms
what
wonder
remained
soon
waned
away
for
in
a
whaler
wonders
soon
wane
besides
now
and
then
such
unaccountable
odds
and
ends
of
strange
nations
come
up
from
the
unknown
nooks
and
ash
holes
of
the
earth
to
man
these
floating
outlaws
of
whalers
and
the
ships
themselves
often
pick
up
such
queer
castaway
creatures
found
tossing
about
the
open
sea
on
planks
bits
of
wreck
oars
whale
boats
canoes
blown
off
japanese
junks
and
what
not
that
beelzebub
himself
might
climb
up
the
side
and
step
down
into
the
cabin
to
chat
with
the
captain
and
it
would
not
create
any
unsubduable
excitement
in
the
forecastle
but
be
all
this
as
it
may
certain
it
is
that
while
the
subordinate
phantoms
soon
found
their
place
among
the
crew
though
still
as
it
were
somehow
distinct
from
them
yet
that
hair
turbaned
fedallah
remained
a
muffled
mystery
to
the
last
whence
he
came
in
a
mannerly
world
like
this
by
what
sort
of
unaccountable
tie
he
soon
evinced
himself
to
be
linked
with
ahabs
peculiar
fortunes
nay
so
far
as
to
have
some
sort
of
a
half
hinted
influence
heaven
knows
but
it
might
have
been
even
authority
over
him
all
this
none
knew
but
one
cannot
sustain
an
indifferent
air
concerning
fedallah
he
was
such
a
creature
as
civilized
domestic
people
in
the
temperate
zone
only
see
in
their
dreams
and
that
but
dimly
but
the
like
of
whom
now
and
then
glide
among
the
unchanging
asiatic
communities
especially
the
oriental
isles
to
the
east
of
the
continent
those
insulated
immemorial
unalterable
countries
which
even
in
these
modern
days
still
preserve
much
of
the
ghostly
aboriginalness
of
earths
primal
generations
when
the
memory
of
the
first
man
was
a
distinct
recollection
and
all
men
his
descendants
unknowing
whence
he
came
eyed
each
other
as
real
phantoms
and
asked
of
the
sun
and
the
moon
why
they
were
created
and
to
what
end
when
though
according
to
genesis
the
angels
indeed
consorted
with
the
daughters
of
men
the
devils
also
add
the
uncanonical
rabbins
indulged
in
mundane
amours
days
weeks
passed
and
under
easy
sail
the
ivory
pequod
had
slowly
swept
across
four
several
cruising
grounds
that
off
the
azores
off
the
cape
de
verdes
on
the
plate
so
called
being
off
the
mouth
of
the
rio
de
la
plata
and
the
carrol
ground
an
unstaked
watery
locality
southerly
from
st
helena
it
was
while
gliding
through
these
latter
waters
that
one
serene
and
moonlight
night
when
all
the
waves
rolled
by
like
scrolls
of
silver
and
by
their
soft
suffusing
seethings
made
what
seemed
a
silvery
silence
not
a
solitude
on
such
a
silent
night
a
silvery
jet
was
seen
far
in
advance
of
the
white
bubbles
at
the
bow
lit
up
by
the
moon
it
looked
celestial
seemed
some
plumed
and
glittering
god
uprising
from
the
sea
fedallah
first
descried
this
jet
for
of
these
moonlight
nights
it
was
his
wont
to
mount
to
the
main
mast
head
and
stand
a
look
out
there
with
the
same
precision
as
if
it
had
been
day
and
yet
though
herds
of
whales
were
seen
by
night
not
one
whaleman
in
a
hundred
would
venture
a
lowering
for
them
you
may
think
with
what
emotions
then
the
seamen
beheld
this
old
oriental
perched
aloft
at
such
unusual
hours
his
turban
and
the
moon
companions
in
one
sky
but
when
after
spending
his
uniform
interval
there
for
several
successive
nights
without
uttering
a
single
sound
when
after
all
this
silence
his
unearthly
voice
was
heard
announcing
that
silvery
moon
lit
jet
every
reclining
mariner
started
to
his
feet
as
if
some
winged
spirit
had
lighted
in
the
rigging
and
hailed
the
mortal
crew
there
she
blows
had
the
trump
of
judgment
blown
they
could
not
have
quivered
more
yet
still
they
felt
no
terror
rather
pleasure
for
though
it
was
a
most
unwonted
hour
yet
so
impressive
was
the
cry
and
so
deliriously
exciting
that
almost
every
soul
on
board
instinctively
desired
a
lowering
walking
the
deck
with
quick
side
lunging
strides
ahab
commanded
the
tgallant
sails
and
royals
to
be
set
and
every
stunsail
spread
the
best
man
in
the
ship
must
take
the
helm
then
with
every
mast
head
manned
the
piled
up
craft
rolled
down
before
the
wind
the
strange
upheaving
lifting
tendency
of
the
taffrail
breeze
filling
the
hollows
of
so
many
sails
made
the
buoyant
hovering
deck
to
feel
like
air
beneath
the
feet
while
still
she
rushed
along
as
if
two
antagonistic
influences
were
struggling
in
her
one
to
mount
direct
to
heaven
the
other
to
drive
yawingly
to
some
horizontal
goal
and
had
you
watched
ahabs
face
that
night
you
would
have
thought
that
in
him
also
two
different
things
were
warring
while
his
one
live
leg
made
lively
echoes
along
the
deck
every
stroke
of
his
dead
limb
sounded
like
a
coffin
tap
on
life
and
death
this
old
man
walked
but
though
the
ship
so
swiftly
sped
and
though
from
every
eye
like
arrows
the
eager
glances
shot
yet
the
silvery
jet
was
no
more
seen
that
night
every
sailor
swore
he
saw
it
once
but
not
a
second
time
this
midnight
spout
had
almost
grown
a
forgotten
thing
when
some
days
after
lo
at
the
same
silent
hour
it
was
again
announced
again
it
was
descried
by
all
but
upon
making
sail
to
overtake
it
once
more
it
disappeared
as
if
it
had
never
been
and
so
it
served
us
night
after
night
till
no
one
heeded
it
but
to
wonder
at
it
mysteriously
jetted
into
the
clear
moonlight
or
starlight
as
the
case
might
be
disappearing
again
for
one
whole
day
or
two
days
or
three
and
somehow
seeming
at
every
distinct
repetition
to
be
advancing
still
further
and
further
in
our
van
this
solitary
jet
seemed
for
ever
alluring
us
on
nor
with
the
immemorial
superstition
of
their
race
and
in
accordance
with
the
preternaturalness
as
it
seemed
which
in
many
things
invested
the
pequod
were
there
wanting
some
of
the
seamen
who
swore
that
whenever
and
wherever
descried
at
however
remote
times
or
in
however
far
apart
latitudes
and
longitudes
that
unnearable
spout
was
cast
by
one
self
same
whale
and
that
whale
moby
dick
for
a
time
there
reigned
too
a
sense
of
peculiar
dread
at
this
flitting
apparition
as
if
it
were
treacherously
beckoning
us
on
and
on
in
order
that
the
monster
might
turn
round
upon
us
and
rend
us
at
last
in
the
remotest
and
most
savage
seas
these
temporary
apprehensions
so
vague
but
so
awful
derived
a
wondrous
potency
from
the
contrasting
serenity
of
the
weather
in
which
beneath
all
its
blue
blandness
some
thought
there
lurked
a
devilish
charm
as
for
days
and
days
we
voyaged
along
through
seas
so
wearily
lonesomely
mild
that
all
space
in
repugnance
to
our
vengeful
errand
seemed
vacating
itself
of
life
before
our
urn
like
prow
but
at
last
when
turning
to
the
eastward
the
cape
winds
began
howling
around
us
and
we
rose
and
fell
upon
the
long
troubled
seas
that
are
there
when
the
ivory
tusked
pequod
sharply
bowed
to
the
blast
and
gored
the
dark
waves
in
her
madness
till
like
showers
of
silver
chips
the
foam
flakes
flew
over
her
bulwarks
then
all
this
desolate
vacuity
of
life
went
away
but
gave
place
to
sights
more
dismal
than
before
close
to
our
bows
strange
forms
in
the
water
darted
hither
and
thither
before
us
while
thick
in
our
rear
flew
the
inscrutable
sea
ravens
and
every
morning
perched
on
our
stays
rows
of
these
birds
were
seen
and
spite
of
our
hootings
for
a
long
time
obstinately
clung
to
the
hemp
as
though
they
deemed
our
ship
some
drifting
uninhabited
craft
a
thing
appointed
to
desolation
and
therefore
fit
roosting
place
for
their
homeless
selves
and
heaved
and
heaved
still
unrestingly
heaved
the
black
sea
as
if
its
vast
tides
were
a
conscience
and
the
great
mundane
soul
were
in
anguish
and
remorse
for
the
long
sin
and
suffering
it
had
bred
cape
of
good
hope
do
they
call
ye
rather
cape
tormentoto
as
called
of
yore
for
long
allured
by
the
perfidious
silences
that
before
had
attended
us
we
found
ourselves
launched
into
this
tormented
sea
where
guilty
beings
transformed
into
those
fowls
and
these
fish
seemed
condemned
to
swim
on
everlastingly
without
any
haven
in
store
or
beat
that
black
air
without
any
horizon
but
calm
snow
white
and
unvarying
still
directing
its
fountain
of
feathers
to
the
sky
still
beckoning
us
on
from
before
the
solitary
jet
would
at
times
be
descried
during
all
this
blackness
of
the
elements
ahab
though
assuming
for
the
time
the
almost
continual
command
of
the
drenched
and
dangerous
deck
manifested
the
gloomiest
reserve
and
more
seldom
than
ever
addressed
his
mates
in
tempestuous
times
like
these
after
everything
above
and
aloft
has
been
secured
nothing
more
can
be
done
but
passively
to
await
the
issue
of
the
gale
then
captain
and
crew
become
practical
fatalists
so
with
his
ivory
leg
inserted
into
its
accustomed
hole
and
with
one
hand
firmly
grasping
a
shroud
ahab
for
hours
and
hours
would
stand
gazing
dead
to
windward
while
an
occasional
squall
of
sleet
or
snow
would
all
but
congeal
his
very
eyelashes
together
meantime
the
crew
driven
from
the
forward
part
of
the
ship
by
the
perilous
seas
that
burstingly
broke
over
its
bows
stood
in
a
line
along
the
bulwarks
in
the
waist
and
the
better
to
guard
against
the
leaping
waves
each
man
had
slipped
himself
into
a
sort
of
bowline
secured
to
the
rail
in
which
he
swung
as
in
a
loosened
belt
few
or
no
words
were
spoken
and
the
silent
ship
as
if
manned
by
painted
sailors
in
wax
day
after
day
tore
on
through
all
the
swift
madness
and
gladness
of
the
demoniac
waves
by
night
the
same
muteness
of
humanity
before
the
shrieks
of
the
ocean
prevailed
still
in
silence
the
men
swung
in
the
bowlines
still
wordless
ahab
stood
up
to
the
blast
even
when
wearied
nature
seemed
demanding
repose
he
would
not
seek
that
repose
in
his
hammock
never
could
starbuck
forget
the
old
mans
aspect
when
one
night
going
down
into
the
cabin
to
mark
how
the
barometer
stood
he
saw
him
with
closed
eyes
sitting
straight
in
his
floor
screwed
chair
the
rain
and
half
melted
sleet
of
the
storm
from
which
he
had
some
time
before
emerged
still
slowly
dripping
from
the
unremoved
hat
and
coat
on
the
table
beside
him
lay
unrolled
one
of
those
charts
of
tides
and
currents
which
have
previously
been
spoken
of
his
lantern
swung
from
his
tightly
clenched
hand
though
the
body
was
erect
the
head
was
thrown
back
so
that
the
closed
eyes
were
pointed
towards
the
needle
of
the
tell
tale
that
swung
from
a
beam
in
the
ceiling
terrible
old
man
thought
starbuck
with
a
shudder
sleeping
in
this
gale
still
thou
steadfastly
eyest
thy
purpose
south
eastward
from
the
cape
off
the
distant
crozetts
a
good
cruising
ground
for
right
whalemen
a
sail
loomed
ahead
the
goney
albatross
by
name
as
she
slowly
drew
nigh
from
my
lofty
perch
at
the
fore
mast
head
i
had
a
good
view
of
that
sight
so
remarkable
to
a
tyro
in
the
far
ocean
fisheries
a
whaler
at
sea
and
long
absent
from
home
as
if
the
waves
had
been
fullers
this
craft
was
bleached
like
the
skeleton
of
a
stranded
walrus
all
down
her
sides
this
spectral
appearance
was
traced
with
long
channels
of
reddened
rust
while
all
her
spars
and
her
rigging
were
like
the
thick
branches
of
trees
furred
over
with
hoar
frost
only
her
lower
sails
were
set
a
wild
sight
it
was
to
see
her
long
bearded
look
outs
at
those
three
mast
heads
they
seemed
clad
in
the
skins
of
beasts
so
torn
and
bepatched
the
raiment
that
had
survived
nearly
four
years
of
cruising
standing
in
iron
hoops
nailed
to
the
mast
they
swayed
and
swung
over
a
fathomless
sea
and
though
when
the
ship
slowly
glided
close
under
our
stern
we
six
men
in
the
air
came
so
nigh
to
each
other
that
we
might
almost
have
leaped
from
the
mast
heads
of
one
ship
to
those
of
the
other
yet
those
forlorn
looking
fishermen
mildly
eyeing
us
as
they
passed
said
not
one
word
to
our
own
look
outs
while
the
quarter
deck
hail
was
being
heard
from
below
ship
ahoy
have
ye
seen
the
white
whale
but
as
the
strange
captain
leaning
over
the
pallid
bulwarks
was
in
the
act
of
putting
his
trumpet
to
his
mouth
it
somehow
fell
from
his
hand
into
the
sea
and
the
wind
now
rising
amain
he
in
vain
strove
to
make
himself
heard
without
it
meantime
his
ship
was
still
increasing
the
distance
between
while
in
various
silent
ways
the
seamen
of
the
pequod
were
evincing
their
observance
of
this
ominous
incident
at
the
first
mere
mention
of
the
white
whales
name
to
another
ship
ahab
for
a
moment
paused
it
almost
seemed
as
though
he
would
have
lowered
a
boat
to
board
the
stranger
had
not
the
threatening
wind
forbade
but
taking
advantage
of
his
windward
position
he
again
seized
his
trumpet
and
knowing
by
her
aspect
that
the
stranger
vessel
was
a
nantucketer
and
shortly
bound
home
he
loudly
hailed
ahoy
there
this
is
the
pequod
bound
round
the
world
tell
them
to
address
all
future
letters
to
the
pacific
ocean
and
this
time
three
years
if
i
am
not
at
home
tell
them
to
address
them
to
at
that
moment
the
two
wakes
were
fairly
crossed
and
instantly
then
in
accordance
with
their
singular
ways
shoals
of
small
harmless
fish
that
for
some
days
before
had
been
placidly
swimming
by
our
side
darted
away
with
what
seemed
shuddering
fins
and
ranged
themselves
fore
and
aft
with
the
strangers
flanks
though
in
the
course
of
his
continual
voyagings
ahab
must
often
before
have
noticed
a
similar
sight
yet
to
any
monomaniac
man
the
veriest
trifles
capriciously
carry
meanings
swim
away
from
me
do
ye
murmured
ahab
gazing
over
into
the
water
there
seemed
but
little
in
the
words
but
the
tone
conveyed
more
of
deep
helpless
sadness
than
the
insane
old
man
had
ever
before
evinced
but
turning
to
the
steersman
who
thus
far
had
been
holding
the
ship
in
the
wind
to
diminish
her
headway
he
cried
out
in
his
old
lion
voice
up
helm
keep
her
off
round
the
world
round
the
world
there
is
much
in
that
sound
to
inspire
proud
feelings
but
whereto
does
all
that
circumnavigation
conduct
only
through
numberless
perils
to
the
very
point
whence
we
started
where
those
that
we
left
behind
secure
were
all
the
time
before
us
were
this
world
an
endless
plain
and
by
sailing
eastward
we
could
for
ever
reach
new
distances
and
discover
sights
more
sweet
and
strange
than
any
cyclades
or
islands
of
king
solomon
then
there
were
promise
in
the
voyage
but
in
pursuit
of
those
far
mysteries
we
dream
of
or
in
tormented
chase
of
that
demon
phantom
that
some
time
or
other
swims
before
all
human
hearts
while
chasing
such
over
this
round
globe
they
either
lead
us
on
in
barren
mazes
or
midway
leave
us
whelmed
the
cabin
compass
is
called
the
tell
tale
because
without
going
to
the
compass
at
the
helm
the
captain
while
below
can
inform
himself
of
the
course
of
the
ship
the
ostensible
reason
why
ahab
did
not
go
on
board
of
the
whaler
we
had
spoken
was
this
the
wind
and
sea
betokened
storms
but
even
had
this
not
been
the
case
he
would
not
after
all
perhaps
have
boarded
her
judging
by
his
subsequent
conduct
on
similar
occasions
if
so
it
had
been
that
by
the
process
of
hailing
he
had
obtained
a
negative
answer
to
the
question
he
put
for
as
it
eventually
turned
out
he
cared
not
to
consort
even
for
five
minutes
with
any
stranger
captain
except
he
could
contribute
some
of
that
information
he
so
absorbingly
sought
but
all
this
might
remain
inadequately
estimated
were
not
something
said
here
of
the
peculiar
usages
of
whaling
vessels
when
meeting
each
other
in
foreign
seas
and
especially
on
a
common
cruising
ground
if
two
strangers
crossing
the
pine
barrens
in
new
york
state
or
the
equally
desolate
salisbury
plain
in
england
if
casually
encountering
each
other
in
such
inhospitable
wilds
these
twain
for
the
life
of
them
cannot
well
avoid
a
mutual
salutation
and
stopping
for
a
moment
to
interchange
the
news
and
perhaps
sitting
down
for
a
while
and
resting
in
concert
then
how
much
more
natural
that
upon
the
illimitable
pine
barrens
and
salisbury
plains
of
the
sea
two
whaling
vessels
descrying
each
other
at
the
ends
of
the
earth
off
lone
fannings
island
or
the
far
away
kings
mills
how
much
more
natural
i
say
that
under
such
circumstances
these
ships
should
not
only
interchange
hails
but
come
into
still
closer
more
friendly
and
sociable
contact
and
especially
would
this
seem
to
be
a
matter
of
course
in
the
case
of
vessels
owned
in
one
seaport
and
whose
captains
officers
and
not
a
few
of
the
men
are
personally
known
to
each
other
and
consequently
have
all
sorts
of
dear
domestic
things
to
talk
about
for
the
long
absent
ship
the
outward
bounder
perhaps
has
letters
on
board
at
any
rate
she
will
be
sure
to
let
her
have
some
papers
of
a
date
a
year
or
two
later
than
the
last
one
on
her
blurred
and
thumb
worn
files
and
in
return
for
that
courtesy
the
outward
bound
ship
would
receive
the
latest
whaling
intelligence
from
the
cruising
ground
to
which
she
may
be
destined
a
thing
of
the
utmost
importance
to
her
and
in
degree
all
this
will
hold
true
concerning
whaling
vessels
crossing
each
others
track
on
the
cruising
ground
itself
even
though
they
are
equally
long
absent
from
home
for
one
of
them
may
have
received
a
transfer
of
letters
from
some
third
and
now
far
remote
vessel
and
some
of
those
letters
may
be
for
the
people
of
the
ship
she
now
meets
besides
they
would
exchange
the
whaling
news
and
have
an
agreeable
chat
for
not
only
would
they
meet
with
all
the
sympathies
of
sailors
but
likewise
with
all
the
peculiar
congenialities
arising
from
a
common
pursuit
and
mutually
shared
privations
and
perils
nor
would
difference
of
country
make
any
very
essential
difference
that
is
so
long
as
both
parties
speak
one
language
as
is
the
case
with
americans
and
english
though
to
be
sure
from
the
small
number
of
english
whalers
such
meetings
do
not
very
often
occur
and
when
they
do
occur
there
is
too
apt
to
be
a
sort
of
shyness
between
them
for
your
englishman
is
rather
reserved
and
your
yankee
he
does
not
fancy
that
sort
of
thing
in
anybody
but
himself
besides
the
english
whalers
sometimes
affect
a
kind
of
metropolitan
superiority
over
the
american
whalers
regarding
the
long
lean
nantucketer
with
his
nondescript
provincialisms
as
a
sort
of
sea
peasant
but
where
this
superiority
in
the
english
whalemen
does
really
consist
it
would
be
hard
to
say
seeing
that
the
yankees
in
one
day
collectively
kill
more
whales
than
all
the
english
collectively
in
ten
years
but
this
is
a
harmless
little
foible
in
the
english
whale
hunters
which
the
nantucketer
does
not
take
much
to
heart
probably
because
he
knows
that
he
has
a
few
foibles
himself
so
then
we
see
that
of
all
ships
separately
sailing
the
sea
the
whalers
have
most
reason
to
be
sociable
and
they
are
so
whereas
some
merchant
ships
crossing
each
others
wake
in
the
mid
atlantic
will
oftentimes
pass
on
without
so
much
as
a
single
word
of
recognition
mutually
cutting
each
other
on
the
high
seas
like
a
brace
of
dandies
in
broadway
and
all
the
time
indulging
perhaps
in
finical
criticism
upon
each
others
rig
as
for
men
of
war
when
they
chance
to
meet
at
sea
they
first
go
through
such
a
string
of
silly
bowings
and
scrapings
such
a
ducking
of
ensigns
that
there
does
not
seem
to
be
much
right
down
hearty
good
will
and
brotherly
love
about
it
at
all
as
touching
slave
ships
meeting
why
they
are
in
such
a
prodigious
hurry
they
run
away
from
each
other
as
soon
as
possible
and
as
for
pirates
when
they
chance
to
cross
each
others
cross
bones
the
first
hail
is
how
many
skulls
the
same
way
that
whalers
hail
how
many
barrels
and
that
question
once
answered
pirates
straightway
steer
apart
for
they
are
infernal
villains
on
both
sides
and
dont
like
to
see
overmuch
of
each
others
villanous
likenesses
but
look
at
the
godly
honest
unostentatious
hospitable
sociable
free
and
easy
whaler
what
does
the
whaler
do
when
she
meets
another
whaler
in
any
sort
of
decent
weather
she
has
a
gam
a
thing
so
utterly
unknown
to
all
other
ships
that
they
never
heard
of
the
name
even
and
if
by
chance
they
should
hear
of
it
they
only
grin
at
it
and
repeat
gamesome
stuff
about
spouters
and
blubber
boilers
and
such
like
pretty
exclamations
why
it
is
that
all
merchant
seamen
and
also
all
pirates
and
man
of
wars
men
and
slave
ship
sailors
cherish
such
a
scornful
feeling
towards
whale
ships
this
is
a
question
it
would
be
hard
to
answer
because
in
the
case
of
pirates
say
i
should
like
to
know
whether
that
profession
of
theirs
has
any
peculiar
glory
about
it
it
sometimes
ends
in
uncommon
elevation
indeed
but
only
at
the
gallows
and
besides
when
a
man
is
elevated
in
that
odd
fashion
he
has
no
proper
foundation
for
his
superior
altitude
hence
i
conclude
that
in
boasting
himself
to
be
high
lifted
above
a
whaleman
in
that
assertion
the
pirate
has
no
solid
basis
to
stand
on
but
what
is
a
gam
you
might
wear
out
your
index
finger
running
up
and
down
the
columns
of
dictionaries
and
never
find
the
word
dr
johnson
never
attained
to
that
erudition
noah
websters
ark
does
not
hold
it
nevertheless
this
same
expressive
word
has
now
for
many
years
been
in
constant
use
among
some
fifteen
thousand
true
born
yankees
certainly
it
needs
a
definition
and
should
be
incorporated
into
the
lexicon
with
that
view
let
me
learnedly
define
it
gam
noun
a
social
meeting
of
two
or
more
whale
ships
generally
on
a
cruising
ground
when
after
exchanging
hails
they
exchange
visits
by
boats
crews
the
two
captains
remaining
for
the
time
on
board
of
one
ship
and
the
two
chief
mates
on
the
other
there
is
another
little
item
about
gamming
which
must
not
be
forgotten
here
all
professions
have
their
own
little
peculiarities
of
detail
so
has
the
whale
fishery
in
a
pirate
man
of
war
or
slave
ship
when
the
captain
is
rowed
anywhere
in
his
boat
he
always
sits
in
the
stern
sheets
on
a
comfortable
sometimes
cushioned
seat
there
and
often
steers
himself
with
a
pretty
little
milliners
tiller
decorated
with
gay
cords
and
ribbons
but
the
whale
boat
has
no
seat
astern
no
sofa
of
that
sort
whatever
and
no
tiller
at
all
high
times
indeed
if
whaling
captains
were
wheeled
about
the
water
on
castors
like
gouty
old
aldermen
in
patent
chairs
and
as
for
a
tiller
the
whale
boat
never
admits
of
any
such
effeminacy
and
therefore
as
in
gamming
a
complete
boats
crew
must
leave
the
ship
and
hence
as
the
boat
steerer
or
harpooneer
is
of
the
number
that
subordinate
is
the
steersman
upon
the
occasion
and
the
captain
having
no
place
to
sit
in
is
pulled
off
to
his
visit
all
standing
like
a
pine
tree
and
often
you
will
notice
that
being
conscious
of
the
eyes
of
the
whole
visible
world
resting
on
him
from
the
sides
of
the
two
ships
this
standing
captain
is
all
alive
to
the
importance
of
sustaining
his
dignity
by
maintaining
his
legs
nor
is
this
any
very
easy
matter
for
in
his
rear
is
the
immense
projecting
steering
oar
hitting
him
now
and
then
in
the
small
of
his
back
the
after
oar
reciprocating
by
rapping
his
knees
in
front
he
is
thus
completely
wedged
before
and
behind
and
can
only
expand
himself
sideways
by
settling
down
on
his
stretched
legs
but
a
sudden
violent
pitch
of
the
boat
will
often
go
far
to
topple
him
because
length
of
foundation
is
nothing
without
corresponding
breadth
merely
make
a
spread
angle
of
two
poles
and
you
cannot
stand
them
up
then
again
it
would
never
do
in
plain
sight
of
the
worlds
riveted
eyes
it
would
never
do
i
say
for
this
straddling
captain
to
be
seen
steadying
himself
the
slightest
particle
by
catching
hold
of
anything
with
his
hands
indeed
as
token
of
his
entire
buoyant
self
command
he
generally
carries
his
hands
in
his
trowsers
pockets
but
perhaps
being
generally
very
large
heavy
hands
he
carries
them
there
for
ballast
nevertheless
there
have
occurred
instances
well
authenticated
ones
too
where
the
captain
has
been
known
for
an
uncommonly
critical
moment
or
two
in
a
sudden
squall
say
to
seize
hold
of
the
nearest
oarsmans
hair
and
hold
on
there
like
grim
death
as
told
at
the
golden
inn
the
cape
of
good
hope
and
all
the
watery
region
round
about
there
is
much
like
some
noted
four
corners
of
a
great
highway
where
you
meet
more
travellers
than
in
any
other
part
it
was
not
very
long
after
speaking
the
goney
that
another
homeward
bound
whaleman
the
town
ho
was
encountered
she
was
manned
almost
wholly
by
polynesians
in
the
short
gam
that
ensued
she
gave
us
strong
news
of
moby
dick
to
some
the
general
interest
in
the
white
whale
was
now
wildly
heightened
by
a
circumstance
of
the
town
hos
story
which
seemed
obscurely
to
involve
with
the
whale
a
certain
wondrous
inverted
visitation
of
one
of
those
so
called
judgments
of
god
which
at
times
are
said
to
overtake
some
men
this
latter
circumstance
with
its
own
particular
accompaniments
forming
what
may
be
called
the
secret
part
of
the
tragedy
about
to
be
narrated
never
reached
the
ears
of
captain
ahab
or
his
mates
for
that
secret
part
of
the
story
was
unknown
to
the
captain
of
the
town
ho
himself
it
was
the
private
property
of
three
confederate
white
seamen
of
that
ship
one
of
whom
it
seems
communicated
it
to
tashtego
with
romish
injunctions
of
secresy
but
the
following
night
tashtego
rambled
in
his
sleep
and
revealed
so
much
of
it
in
that
way
that
when
he
was
wakened
he
could
not
well
withhold
the
rest
nevertheless
so
potent
an
influence
did
this
thing
have
on
those
seamen
in
the
pequod
who
came
to
the
full
knowledge
of
it
and
by
such
a
strange
delicacy
to
call
it
so
were
they
governed
in
this
matter
that
they
kept
the
secret
among
themselves
so
that
it
never
transpired
abaft
the
pequods
main
mast
interweaving
in
its
proper
place
this
darker
thread
with
the
story
as
publicly
narrated
on
the
ship
the
whole
of
this
strange
affair
i
now
proceed
to
put
on
lasting
record
for
my
humors
sake
i
shall
preserve
the
style
in
which
i
once
narrated
it
at
lima
to
a
lounging
circle
of
my
spanish
friends
one
saints
eve
smoking
upon
the
thick
gilt
tiled
piazza
of
the
golden
inn
of
those
fine
cavaliers
the
young
dons
pedro
and
sebastian
were
on
the
closer
terms
with
me
and
hence
the
interluding
questions
they
occasionally
put
and
which
are
duly
answered
at
the
time
some
two
years
prior
to
my
first
learning
the
events
which
i
am
about
rehearsing
to
you
gentlemen
the
town
ho
sperm
whaler
of
nantucket
was
cruising
in
your
pacific
here
not
very
many
days
sail
westward
from
the
eaves
of
this
good
golden
inn
she
was
somewhere
to
the
northward
of
the
line
one
morning
upon
handling
the
pumps
according
to
daily
usage
it
was
observed
that
she
made
more
water
in
her
hold
than
common
they
supposed
a
sword
fish
had
stabbed
her
gentlemen
but
the
captain
having
some
unusual
reason
for
believing
that
rare
good
luck
awaited
him
in
those
latitudes
and
therefore
being
very
averse
to
quit
them
and
the
leak
not
being
then
considered
at
all
dangerous
though
indeed
they
could
not
find
it
after
searching
the
hold
as
low
down
as
was
possible
in
rather
heavy
weather
the
ship
still
continued
her
cruisings
the
mariners
working
at
the
pumps
at
wide
and
easy
intervals
but
no
good
luck
came
more
days
went
by
and
not
only
was
the
leak
yet
undiscovered
but
it
sensibly
increased
so
much
so
that
now
taking
some
alarm
the
captain
making
all
sail
stood
away
for
the
nearest
harbor
among
the
islands
there
to
have
his
hull
hove
out
and
repaired
though
no
small
passage
was
before
her
yet
if
the
commonest
chance
favored
he
did
not
at
all
fear
that
his
ship
would
founder
by
the
way
because
his
pumps
were
of
the
best
and
being
periodically
relieved
at
them
those
six
and
thirty
men
of
his
could
easily
keep
the
ship
free
never
mind
if
the
leak
should
double
on
her
in
truth
well
nigh
the
whole
of
this
passage
being
attended
by
very
prosperous
breezes
the
town
ho
had
all
but
certainly
arrived
in
perfect
safety
at
her
port
without
the
occurrence
of
the
least
fatality
had
it
not
been
for
the
brutal
overbearing
of
radney
the
mate
a
vineyarder
and
the
bitterly
provoked
vengeance
of
steelkilt
a
lakeman
and
desperado
from
buffalo

pray
what
is
a
lakeman

is

further
of
all
that
now
gentlemen
in
square

brigs
and
three
masted
ships
well
nigh
as
large
and
stout
as
any
that
ever
sailed
out
of
your
old
callao
to
far
manilla
this
lakeman
in
the
land
locked
heart
of
our
america
had
yet
been
nurtured
by
all
those
agrarian
freebooting
impressions
popularly
connected
with
the

in
their
interflowing
aggregate
those
grand
fresh

seas
of
ours
erie
and
ontario
and
huron
and

michigan
possess
an
ocean
like
expansiveness
with
many
of
the
oceans
noblest
traits
with
many
of
its
rimmed
varieties
of
races
and
of
climes
they
contain
round
archipelagoes
of
romantic
isles
even
as
the
polynesian
waters
do
in
large
part
are
shored
by
two
great
contrasting
nations
as
the
atlantic
is
they
furnish
long
maritime
approaches
to
our
numerous
territorial
colonies
from
the
east
dotted
all
round
their
banks
here
and
there
are
frowned
upon
by
batteries
and
by
the
goat
like
craggy
guns
of
lofty
mackinaw
they
have
heard
the
fleet
thunderings
of
naval
victories
at
intervals
they
yield
their
beaches
to
wild
barbarians
whose
red
painted
faces
flash
from
out
their
peltry
wigwams
for
leagues
and
leagues
are
flanked
by
ancient
and
unentered
forests
where
the
gaunt
pines
stand
like
serried
lines
of

in

genealogies
those

of

however
inland
they
have
drowned
full
many
a
midnight
ship
with
all
its
shrieking
crew
thus
gentlemen
though
an
inlander
steelkilt
was
wild
ocean
born
and
wild
ocean
nurtured
as
much
of
an
audacious
mariner
as
any
and
for
radney
though
in
his
infancy
he
may
have
laid
him
down
on
the
lone
nantucket
beach
to
nurse
at
his
maternal
sea
though
in
after
life
he
had
long
followed
our
austere
atlantic
and
your
contemplative
pacific
yet
was
he
quite
as
vengeful
and
full
of
social
quarrel
as
the
backwoods
seaman
fresh
from
the
latitudes
of
buck
horn
handled
bowie
knives
yet
was
this
nantucketer
a
man
with
some
good
hearted
traits
and
this
lakeman
a
mariner
who
though
a
sort
of
devil
indeed
might
yet
by
inflexible
firmness
only
tempered
by
that
common
decency
of
human
recognition
which
is
the
meanest
slaves
right
thus
treated
this
steelkilt
had
long
been
retained
harmless
and
docile
at
all
events
he
had
proved
so
thus
far
but
radney
was
doomed
and
made
mad
and
steelkilt
but
gentlemen
you
shall
hear
it
was
not
more
than
a
day
or
two
at
the
furthest
after
pointing
her
prow
for
her
island
haven
that
the
town
hos
leak
seemed
again
increasing
but
only
so
as
to
require
an
hour
or
more
at
the
pumps
every
day
you
must
know
that
in
a
settled
and
civilized
ocean
like
our
atlantic
for
example
some
skippers
think
little
of
pumping
their
whole
way
across
it
though
of
a
still
sleepy
night
should
the
officer
of
the
deck
happen
to
forget
his
duty
in
that
respect
the
probability
would
be
that
he
and
his
shipmates
would
never
again
remember
it
on
account
of
all
hands
gently
subsiding
to
the
bottom
nor
in
the
solitary
and
savage
seas
far
from
you
to
the
westward
gentlemen
is
it
altogether
unusual
for
ships
to
keep
clanging
at
their
pump
handles
in
full
chorus
even
for
a
voyage
of
considerable
length
that
is
if
it
lie
along
a
tolerably
accessible
coast
or
if
any
other
reasonable
retreat
is
afforded
them
it
is
only
when
a
leaky
vessel
is
in
some
very
out
of
the
way
part
of
those
waters
some
really
landless
latitude
that
her
captain
begins
to
feel
a
little
anxious
much
this
way
had
it
been
with
the
town
ho
so
when
her
leak
was
found
gaining
once
more
there
was
in
truth
some
small
concern
manifested
by
several
of
her
company
especially
by
radney
the
mate
he
commanded
the
upper
sails
to
be
well
hoisted
sheeted
home
anew
and
every
way
expanded
to
the
breeze
now
this
radney
i
suppose
was
as
little
of
a
coward
and
as
little
inclined
to
any
sort
of
nervous
apprehensiveness
touching
his
own
person
as
any
fearless
unthinking
creature
on
land
or
on
sea
that
you
can
conveniently
imagine
gentlemen
therefore
when
he
betrayed
this
solicitude
about
the
safety
of
the
ship
some
of
the
seamen
declared
that
it
was
only
on
account
of
his
being
a
part
owner
in
her
so
when
they
were
working
that
evening
at
the
pumps
there
was
on
this
head
no
small
gamesomeness
slily
going
on
among
them
as
they
stood
with
their
feet
continually
overflowed
by
the
rippling
clear
water
clear
as
any
mountain
spring
gentlemen
that
bubbling
from
the
pumps
ran
across
the
deck
and
poured
itself
out
in
steady
spouts
at
the
lee
scupper
holes
now
as
you
well
know
it
is
not
seldom
the
case
in
this
conventional
world
of
ours
watery
or
otherwise
that
when
a
person
placed
in
command
over
his
fellow
men
finds
one
of
them
to
be
very
significantly
his
superior
in
general
pride
of
manhood
straightway
against
that
man
he
conceives
an
unconquerable
dislike
and
bitterness
and
if
he
have
a
chance
he
will
pull
down
and
pulverize
that
subalterns
tower
and
make
a
little
heap
of
dust
of
it
be
this
conceit
of
mine
as
it
may
gentlemen
at
all
events
steelkilt
was
a
tall
and
noble
animal
with
a
head
like
a
roman
and
a
flowing
golden
beard
like
the
tasseled
housings
of
your
last
viceroys
snorting
charger
and
a
brain
and
a
heart
and
a
soul
in
him
gentlemen
which
had
made
steelkilt
charlemagne
had
he
been
born
son
to
charlemagnes
father
but
radney
the
mate
was
ugly
as
a
mule
yet
as
hardy
as
stubborn
as
malicious
he
did
not
love
steelkilt
and
steelkilt
knew
it
espying
the
mate
drawing
near
as
he
was
toiling
at
the
pump
with
the
rest
the
lakeman
affected
not
to
notice
him
but
unawed
went
on
with
his
gay
banterings
aye
aye
my
merry
lads
its
a
lively
leak
this
hold
a
cannikin
one
of
ye
and
lets
have
a
taste
by
the
lord
its
worth
bottling
i
tell
ye
what
men
old
rads
investment
must
go
for
it
he
had
best
cut
away
his
part
of
the
hull
and
tow
it
home
the
fact
is
boys
that
sword
fish
only
began
the
job
hes
come
back
again
with
a
gang
of
ship
carpenters
saw
fish
and
file
fish
and
what
not
and
the
whole
posse
of
em
are
now
hard
at
work
cutting
and
slashing
at
the
bottom
making
improvements
i
suppose
if
old
rad
were
here
now
id
tell
him
to
jump
overboard
and
scatter
em
theyre
playing
the
devil
with
his
estate
i
can
tell
him
but
hes
a
simple
old
soul
rad
and
a
beauty
too
boys
they
say
the
rest
of
his
property
is
invested
in
looking
glasses
i
wonder
if
hed
give
a
poor
devil
like
me
the
model
of
his
nose
damn
your
eyes
whats
that
pump
stopping
for
roared
radney
pretending
not
to
have
heard
the
sailors
talk
thunder
away
at
it
aye
aye
sir
said
steelkilt
merry
as
a
cricket
lively
boys
lively
now
and
with
that
the
pump
clanged
like
fifty
fire
engines
the
men
tossed
their
hats
off
to
it
and
ere
long
that
peculiar
gasping
of
the
lungs
was
heard
which
denotes
the
fullest
tension
of
lifes
utmost
energies
quitting
the
pump
at
last
with
the
rest
of
his
band
the
lakeman
went
forward
all
panting
and
sat
himself
down
on
the
windlass
his
face
fiery
red
his
eyes
bloodshot
and
wiping
the
profuse
sweat
from
his
brow
now
what
cozening
fiend
it
was
gentlemen
that
possessed
radney
to
meddle
with
such
a
man
in
that
corporeally
exasperated
state
i
know
not
but
so
it
happened
intolerably
striding
along
the
deck
the
mate
commanded
him
to
get
a
broom
and
sweep
down
the
planks
and
also
a
shovel
and
remove
some
offensive
matters
consequent
upon
allowing
a
pig
to
run
at
large
now
gentlemen
sweeping
a
ships
deck
at
sea
is
a
piece
of
household
work
which
in
all
times
but
raging
gales
is
regularly
attended
to
every
evening
it
has
been
known
to
be
done
in
the
case
of
ships
actually
foundering
at
the
time
such
gentlemen
is
the
inflexibility
of
sea
usages
and
the
instinctive
love
of
neatness
in
seamen
some
of
whom
would
not
willingly
drown
without
first
washing
their
faces
but
in
all
vessels
this
broom
business
is
the
prescriptive
province
of
the
boys
if
boys
there
be
aboard
besides
it
was
the
stronger
men
in
the
town
ho
that
had
been
divided
into
gangs
taking
turns
at
the
pumps
and
being
the
most
athletic
seaman
of
them
all
steelkilt
had
been
regularly
assigned
captain
of
one
of
the
gangs
consequently
he
should
have
been
freed
from
any
trivial
business
not
connected
with
truly
nautical
duties
such
being
the
case
with
his
comrades
i
mention
all
these
particulars
so
that
you
may
understand
exactly
how
this
affair
stood
between
the
two
men
but
there
was
more
than
this
the
order
about
the
shovel
was
almost
as
plainly
meant
to
sting
and
insult
steelkilt
as
though
radney
had
spat
in
his
face
any
man
who
has
gone
sailor
in
a
whale
ship
will
understand
this
and
all
this
and
doubtless
much
more
the
lakeman
fully
comprehended
when
the
mate
uttered
his
command
but
as
he
sat
still
for
a
moment
and
as
he
steadfastly
looked
into
the
mates
malignant
eye
and
perceived
the
stacks
of
powder
casks
heaped
up
in
him
and
the
slow
match
silently
burning
along
towards
them
as
he
instinctively
saw
all
this
that
strange
forbearance
and
unwillingness
to
stir
up
the
deeper
passionateness
in
any
already
ireful
being
a
repugnance
most
felt
when
felt
at
all
by
really
valiant
men
even
when
aggrieved
this
nameless
phantom
feeling
gentlemen
stole
over
steelkilt
therefore
in
his
ordinary
tone
only
a
little
broken
by
the
bodily
exhaustion
he
was
temporarily
in
he
answered
him
saying
that
sweeping
the
deck
was
not
his
business
and
he
would
not
do
it
and
then
without
at
all
alluding
to
the
shovel
he
pointed
to
three
lads
as
the
customary
sweepers
who
not
being
billeted
at
the
pumps
had
done
little
or
nothing
all
day
to
this
radney
replied
with
an
oath
in
a
most
domineering
and
outrageous
manner
unconditionally
reiterating
his
command
meanwhile
advancing
upon
the
still
seated
lakeman
with
an
uplifted
coopers
club
hammer
which
he
had
snatched
from
a
cask
near
by
heated
and
irritated
as
he
was
by
his
spasmodic
toil
at
the
pumps
for
all
his
first
nameless
feeling
of
forbearance
the
sweating
steelkilt
could
but
ill
brook
this
bearing
in
the
mate
but
somehow
still
smothering
the
conflagration
within
him
without
speaking
he
remained
doggedly
rooted
to
his
seat
till
at
last
the
incensed
radney
shook
the
hammer
within
a
few
inches
of
his
face
furiously
commanding
him
to
do
his
bidding
steelkilt
rose
and
slowly
retreating
round
the
windlass
steadily
followed
by
the
mate
with
his
menacing
hammer
deliberately
repeated
his
intention
not
to
obey
seeing
however
that
his
forbearance
had
not
the
slightest
effect
by
an
awful
and
unspeakable
intimation
with
his
twisted
hand
he
warned
off
the
foolish
and
infatuated
man
but
it
was
to
no
purpose
and
in
this
way
the
two
went
once
slowly
round
the
windlass
when
resolved
at
last
no
longer
to
retreat
bethinking
him
that
he
had
now
forborne
as
much
as
comported
with
his
humor
the
lakeman
paused
on
the
hatches
and
thus
spoke
to
the
officer
mr
radney
i
will
not
obey
you
take
that
hammer
away
or
look
to
yourself
but
the
predestinated
mate
coming
still
closer
to
him
where
the
lakeman
stood
fixed
now
shook
the
heavy
hammer
within
an
inch
of
his
teeth
meanwhile
repeating
a
string
of
insufferable
maledictions
retreating
not
the
thousandth
part
of
an
inch
stabbing
him
in
the
eye
with
the
unflinching
poniard
of
his
glance
steelkilt
clenching
his
right
hand
behind
him
and
creepingly
drawing
it
back
told
his
persecutor
that
if
the
hammer
but
grazed
his
cheek
he
steelkilt
would
murder
him
but
gentlemen
the
fool
had
been
branded
for
the
slaughter
by
the
gods
immediately
the
hammer
touched
the
cheek
the
next
instant
the
lower
jaw
of
the
mate
was
stove
in
his
head
he
fell
on
the
hatch
spouting
blood
like
a
whale
ere
the
cry
could
go
aft
steelkilt
was
shaking
one
of
the
backstays
leading
far
aloft
to
where
two
of
his
comrades
were
standing
their
mast
heads
they
were
both
canallers

i

depicted

the
canaller
would
make
a
fine
dramatic
hero
so
abundantly
and
picturesquely
wicked
is
he
like
mark
antony
for
days
and
days
along
his
green
turfed
flowery
nile
he
indolently
floats
openly
toying
with
his
red
cheeked
cleopatra
ripening
his
apricot
thigh
upon
the
sunny
deck
but
ashore
all
this
effeminacy
is
dashed
the
brigandish
guise
which
the
canaller
so
proudly
sports
his
slouched
and
gaily
ribboned
hat
betoken
his
grand
features
a
terror
to
the
smiling
innocence
of
the
villages
through
which
he
floats
his
swart
visage
and
bold
swagger
are
not
unshunned
in
cities
once
a
vagabond
on
his
own
canal
i
have
received
good
turns
from
one
of
these
canallers
i
thank
him
heartily
would
fain
be
not
ungrateful
but
it
is
often
one
of
the
prime
redeeming
qualities
of
your
man
of
violence
that
at
times
he
has
as
stiff
an
arm
to
back
a
poor
stranger
in
a
strait
as
to
plunder
a
wealthy
one
in
sum
gentlemen
what
the
wildness
of
this
canal
life
is
is
emphatically
evinced
by
this
that
our
wild
whale
fishery
contains
so
many
of
its
most
finished
graduates
and
that
scarce
any
race
of
mankind
except
sydney
men
are
so
much
distrusted
by
our
whaling
captains
nor
does
it
at
all
diminish
the
curiousness
of
this
matter
that
to
many
thousands
of
our
rural
boys
and
young
men
born
along
its
line
the
probationary
life
of
the
grand
canal
furnishes
the
sole
transition
between
quietly
reaping
in
a
christian
corn
field
and
recklessly
ploughing
the
waters
of
the
most
barbaric
seas
i
see
i
see
impetuously
exclaimed
don
pedro
spilling
his
chicha
upon
his
silvery
ruffles
no

the
worlds
one
lima
i
had
thought
now
that
at
your
temperate
north
the
generations
were
cold
and
holy
as
the
hills
but
the
story
i
left
off
gentlemen
where
the
lakeman
shook
the
back
stay
hardly
had
he
done
so
when
he
was
surrounded
by
the
three
junior
mates
and
the
four
harpooneers
who
all
crowded
him
to
the
deck
but
sliding
down
the
ropes
like
baleful
comets
the
two
canallers
rushed
into
the
uproar
and
sought
to
drag
their
man
out
of
it
towards
the
forecastle
others
of
the
sailors
joined
with
them
in
this
attempt
and
a
twisted
turmoil
ensued
while
standing
out
of
harms
way
the
valiant
captain
danced
up
and
down
with
a
whale
pike
calling
upon
his
officers
to
manhandle
that
atrocious
scoundrel
and
smoke
him
along
to
the
quarter
deck
at
intervals
he
ran
close
up
to
the
revolving
border
of
the
confusion
and
prying
into
the
heart
of
it
with
his
pike
sought
to
prick
out
the
object
of
his
resentment
but
steelkilt
and
his
desperadoes
were
too
much
for
them
all
they
succeeded
in
gaining
the
forecastle
deck
where
hastily
slewing
about
three
or
four
large
casks
in
a
line
with
the
windlass
these
sea
parisians
entrenched
themselves
behind
the
barricade
come
out
of
that
ye
pirates
roared
the
captain
now
menacing
them
with
a
pistol
in
each
hand
just
brought
to
him
by
the
steward
come
out
of
that
ye
cut
throats
steelkilt
leaped
on
the
barricade
and
striding
up
and
down
there
defied
the
worst
the
pistols
could
do
but
gave
the
captain
to
understand
distinctly
that
his
steelkilts
death
would
be
the
signal
for
a
murderous
mutiny
on
the
part
of
all
hands
fearing
in
his
heart
lest
this
might
prove
but
too
true
the
captain
a
little
desisted
but
still
commanded
the
insurgents
instantly
to
return
to
their
duty
will
you
promise
not
to
touch
us
if
we
do
demanded
their
ringleader
turn
to
turn
to
i
make
no
promise
to
your
duty
do
you
want
to
sink
the
ship
by
knocking
off
at
a
time
like
this
turn
to
and
he
once
more
raised
a
pistol
sink
the
ship
cried
steelkilt
aye
let
her
sink
not
a
man
of
us
turns
to
unless
you
swear
not
to
raise
a
rope
yarn
against
us
what
say
ye
men
turning
to
his
comrades
a
fierce
cheer
was
their
response
the
lakeman
now
patrolled
the
barricade
all
the
while
keeping
his
eye
on
the
captain
and
jerking
out
such
sentences
as
these
its
not
our
fault
we
didnt
want
it
i
told
him
to
take
his
hammer
away
it
was
boys
business
he
might
have
known
me
before
this
i
told
him
not
to
prick
the
buffalo
i
believe
i
have
broken
a
finger
here
against
his
cursed
jaw
aint
those
mincing
knives
down
in
the
forecastle
there
men
look
to
those
handspikes
my
hearties
captain
by
god
look
to
yourself
say
the
word
dont
be
a
fool
forget
it
all
we
are
ready
to
turn
to
treat
us
decently
and
were
your
men
but
we
wont
be
flogged
turn
to
i
make
no
promises
turn
to
i
say
look
ye
now
cried
the
lakeman
flinging
out
his
arm
towards
him
there
are
a
few
of
us
here
and
i
am
one
of
them
who
have
shipped
for
the
cruise
dye
see
now
as
you
well
know
sir
we
can
claim
our
discharge
as
soon
as
the
anchor
is
down
so
we
dont
want
a
row
its
not
our
interest
we
want
to
be
peaceable
we
are
ready
to
work
but
we
wont
be
flogged
turn
to
roared
the
captain
steelkilt
glanced
round
him
a
moment
and
then
said
i
tell
you
what
it
is
now
captain
rather
than
kill
ye
and
be
hung
for
such
a
shabby
rascal
we
wont
lift
a
hand
against
ye
unless
ye
attack
us
but
till
you
say
the
word
about
not
flogging
us
we
wont
do
a
hands
turn
down
into
the
forecastle
then
down
with
ye
ill
keep
ye
there
till
yere
sick
of
it
down
ye
go
shall
we
cried
the
ringleader
to
his
men
most
of
them
were
against
it
but
at
length
in
obedience
to
steelkilt
they
preceded
him
down
into
their
dark
den
growlingly
disappearing
like
bears
into
a
cave
as
the
lakemans
bare
head
was
just
level
with
the
planks
the
captain
and
his
posse
leaped
the
barricade
and
rapidly
drawing
over
the
slide
of
the
scuttle
planted
their
group
of
hands
upon
it
and
loudly
called
for
the
steward
to
bring
the
heavy
brass
padlock
belonging
to
the
companion
way
then
opening
the
slide
a
little
the
captain
whispered
something
down
the
crack
closed
it
and
turned
the
key
upon
them
ten
in
number
leaving
on
deck
some
twenty
or
more
who
thus
far
had
remained
neutral
all
night
a
wide
awake
watch
was
kept
by
all
the
officers
forward
and
aft
especially
about
the
forecastle
scuttle
and
fore
hatchway
at
which
last
place
it
was
feared
the
insurgents
might
emerge
after
breaking
through
the
bulkhead
below
but
the
hours
of
darkness
passed
in
peace
the
men
who
still
remained
at
their
duty
toiling
hard
at
the
pumps
whose
clinking
and
clanking
at
intervals
through
the
dreary
night
dismally
resounded
through
the
ship
at
sunrise
the
captain
went
forward
and
knocking
on
the
deck
summoned
the
prisoners
to
work
but
with
a
yell
they
refused
water
was
then
lowered
down
to
them
and
a
couple
of
handfuls
of
biscuit
were
tossed
after
it
when
again
turning
the
key
upon
them
and
pocketing
it
the
captain
returned
to
the
quarter
deck
twice
every
day
for
three
days
this
was
repeated
but
on
the
fourth
morning
a
confused
wrangling
and
then
a
scuffling
was
heard
as
the
customary
summons
was
delivered
and
suddenly
four
men
burst
up
from
the
forecastle
saying
they
were
ready
to
turn
to
the
fetid
closeness
of
the
air
and
a
famishing
diet
united
perhaps
to
some
fears
of
ultimate
retribution
had
constrained
them
to
surrender
at
discretion
emboldened
by
this
the
captain
reiterated
his
demand
to
the
rest
but
steelkilt
shouted
up
to
him
a
terrific
hint
to
stop
his
babbling
and
betake
himself
where
he
belonged
on
the
fifth
morning
three
others
of
the
mutineers
bolted
up
into
the
air
from
the
desperate
arms
below
that
sought
to
restrain
them
only
three
were
left
better
turn
to
now
said
the
captain
with
a
heartless
jeer
shut
us
up
again
will
ye
cried
steelkilt
oh
certainly
said
the
captain
and
the
key
clicked
it
was
at
this
point
gentlemen
that
enraged
by
the
defection
of
seven
of
his
former
associates
and
stung
by
the
mocking
voice
that
had
last
hailed
him
and
maddened
by
his
long
entombment
in
a
place
as
black
as
the
bowels
of
despair
it
was
then
that
steelkilt
proposed
to
the
two
canallers
thus
far
apparently
of
one
mind
with
him
to
burst
out
of
their
hole
at
the
next
summoning
of
the
garrison
and
armed
with
their
keen
mincing
knives
long
crescentic
heavy
implements
with
a
handle
at
each
end
run
a
muck
from
the
bowsprit
to
the
taffrail
and
if
by
any
devilishness
of
desperation
possible
seize
the
ship
for
himself
he
would
do
this
he
said
whether
they
joined
him
or
not
that
was
the
last
night
he
should
spend
in
that
den
but
the
scheme
met
with
no
opposition
on
the
part
of
the
other
two
they
swore
they
were
ready
for
that
or
for
any
other
mad
thing
for
anything
in
short
but
a
surrender
and
what
was
more
they
each
insisted
upon
being
the
first
man
on
deck
when
the
time
to
make
the
rush
should
come
but
to
this
their
leader
as
fiercely
objected
reserving
that
priority
for
himself
particularly
as
his
two
comrades
would
not
yield
the
one
to
the
other
in
the
matter
and
both
of
them
could
not
be
first
for
the
ladder
would
but
admit
one
man
at
a
time
and
here
gentlemen
the
foul
play
of
these
miscreants
must
come
out
upon
hearing
the
frantic
project
of
their
leader
each
in
his
own
separate
soul
had
suddenly
lighted
it
would
seem
upon
the
same
piece
of
treachery
namely
to
be
foremost
in
breaking
out
in
order
to
be
the
first
of
the
three
though
the
last
of
the
ten
to
surrender
and
thereby
secure
whatever
small
chance
of
pardon
such
conduct
might
merit
but
when
steelkilt
made
known
his
determination
still
to
lead
them
to
the
last
they
in
some
way
by
some
subtle
chemistry
of
villany
mixed
their
before
secret
treacheries
together
and
when
their
leader
fell
into
a
doze
verbally
opened
their
souls
to
each
other
in
three
sentences
and
bound
the
sleeper
with
cords
and
gagged
him
with
cords
and
shrieked
out
for
the
captain
at
midnight
thinking
murder
at
hand
and
smelling
in
the
dark
for
the
blood
he
and
all
his
armed
mates
and
harpooneers
rushed
for
the
forecastle
in
a
few
minutes
the
scuttle
was
opened
and
bound
hand
and
foot
the
still
struggling
ringleader
was
shoved
up
into
the
air
by
his
perfidious
allies
who
at
once
claimed
the
honor
of
securing
a
man
who
had
been
fully
ripe
for
murder
but
all
these
were
collared
and
dragged
along
the
deck
like
dead
cattle
and
side
by
side
were
seized
up
into
the
mizen
rigging
like
three
quarters
of
meat
and
there
they
hung
till
morning
damn
ye
cried
the
captain
pacing
to
and
fro
before
them
the
vultures
would
not
touch
ye
ye
villains
at
sunrise
he
summoned
all
hands
and
separating
those
who
had
rebelled
from
those
who
had
taken
no
part
in
the
mutiny
he
told
the
former
that
he
had
a
good
mind
to
flog
them
all
round
thought
upon
the
whole
he
would
do
so
he
ought
to
justice
demanded
it
but
for
the
present
considering
their
timely
surrender
he
would
let
them
go
with
a
reprimand
which
he
accordingly
administered
in
the
vernacular
but
as
for
you
ye
carrion
rogues
turning
to
the
three
men
in
the
rigging
for
you
i
mean
to
mince
ye
up
for
the
try
pots
and
seizing
a
rope
he
applied
it
with
all
his
might
to
the
backs
of
the
two
traitors
till
they
yelled
no
more
but
lifelessly
hung
their
heads
sideways
as
the
two
crucified
thieves
are
drawn
my
wrist
is
sprained
with
ye
he
cried
at
last
but
there
is
still
rope
enough
left
for
you
my
fine
bantam
that
wouldnt
give
up
take
that
gag
from
his
mouth
and
let
us
hear
what
he
can
say
for
himself
for
a
moment
the
exhausted
mutineer
made
a
tremulous
motion
of
his
cramped
jaws
and
then
painfully
twisting
round
his
head
said
in
a
sort
of
hiss
what
i
say
is
this
and
mind
it
well
if
you
flog
me
i
murder
you
say
ye
so
then
see
how
ye
frighten
me
and
the
captain
drew
off
with
the
rope
to
strike
best
not
hissed
the
lakeman
but
i
must
and
the
rope
was
once
more
drawn
back
for
the
stroke
steelkilt
here
hissed
out
something
inaudible
to
all
but
the
captain
who
to
the
amazement
of
all
hands
started
back
paced
the
deck
rapidly
two
or
three
times
and
then
suddenly
throwing
down
his
rope
saidi
wont
do
it
let
him
go
cut
him
down
dye
hear
but
as
the
junior
mates
were
hurrying
to
execute
the
order
a
pale
man
with
a
bandaged
head
arrested
them
radney
the
chief
mate
ever
since
the
blow
he
had
lain
in
his
berth
but
that
morning
hearing
the
tumult
on
the
deck
he
had
crept
out
and
thus
far
had
watched
the
whole
scene
such
was
the
state
of
his
mouth
that
he
could
hardly
speak
but
mumbling
something
about
his
being
willing
and
able
to
do
what
the
captain
dared
not
attempt
he
snatched
the
rope
and
advanced
to
his
pinioned
foe
you
are
a
coward
hissed
the
lakeman
so
i
am
but
take
that
the
mate
was
in
the
very
act
of
striking
when
another
hiss
stayed
his
uplifted
arm
he
paused
and
then
pausing
no
more
made
good
his
word
spite
of
steelkilts
threat
whatever
that
might
have
been
the
three
men
were
then
cut
down
all
hands
were
turned
to
and
sullenly
worked
by
the
moody
seamen
the
iron
pumps
clanged
as
before
just
after
dark
that
day
when
one
watch
had
retired
below
a
clamor
was
heard
in
the
forecastle
and
the
two
trembling
traitors
running
up
besieged
the
cabin
door
saying
they
durst
not
consort
with
the
crew
entreaties
cuffs
and
kicks
could
not
drive
them
back
so
at
their
own
instance
they
were
put
down
in
the
ships
run
for
salvation
still
no
sign
of
mutiny
reappeared
among
the
rest
on
the
contrary
it
seemed
that
mainly
at
steelkilts
instigation
they
had
resolved
to
maintain
the
strictest
peacefulness
obey
all
orders
to
the
last
and
when
the
ship
reached
port
desert
her
in
a
body
but
in
order
to
insure
the
speediest
end
to
the
voyage
they
all
agreed
to
another
thing
namely
not
to
sing
out
for
whales
in
case
any
should
be
discovered
for
spite
of
her
leak
and
spite
of
all
her
other
perils
the
town
ho
still
maintained
her
mast
heads
and
her
captain
was
just
as
willing
to
lower
for
a
fish
that
moment
as
on
the
day
his
craft
first
struck
the
cruising
ground
and
radney
the
mate
was
quite
as
ready
to
change
his
berth
for
a
boat
and
with
his
bandaged
mouth
seek
to
gag
in
death
the
vital
jaw
of
the
whale
but
though
the
lakeman
had
induced
the
seamen
to
adopt
this
sort
of
passiveness
in
their
conduct
he
kept
his
own
counsel
at
least
till
all
was
over
concerning
his
own
proper
and
private
revenge
upon
the
man
who
had
stung
him
in
the
ventricles
of
his
heart
he
was
in
radney
the
chief
mates
watch
and
as
if
the
infatuated
man
sought
to
run
more
than
half
way
to
meet
his
doom
after
the
scene
at
the
rigging
he
insisted
against
the
express
counsel
of
the
captain
upon
resuming
the
head
of
his
watch
at
night
upon
this
and
one
or
two
other
circumstances
steelkilt
systematically
built
the
plan
of
his
revenge
during
the
night
radney
had
an
unseamanlike
way
of
sitting
on
the
bulwarks
of
the
quarter
deck
and
leaning
his
arm
upon
the
gunwale
of
the
boat
which
was
hoisted
up
there
a
little
above
the
ships
side
in
this
attitude
it
was
well
known
he
sometimes
dozed
there
was
a
considerable
vacancy
between
the
boat
and
the
ship
and
down
between
this
was
the
sea
steelkilt
calculated
his
time
and
found
that
his
next
trick
at
the
helm
would
come
round
at
two
oclock
in
the
morning
of
the
third
day
from
that
in
which
he
had
been
betrayed
at
his
leisure
he
employed
the
interval
in
braiding
something
very
carefully
in
his
watches
below
what
are
you
making
there
said
a
shipmate
what
do
you
think
what
does
it
look
like
like
a
lanyard
for
your
bag
but
its
an
odd
one
seems
to
me
yes
rather
oddish
said
the
lakeman
holding
it
at
arms
length
before
him
but
i
think
it
will
answer
shipmate
i
havent
enough
twine
have
you
any
but
there
was
none
in
the
forecastle
then
i
must
get
some
from
old
rad
and
he
rose
to
go
aft
you
dont
mean
to
go
a
begging
to
him
said
a
sailor
why
not
do
you
think
he
wont
do
me
a
turn
when
its
to
help
himself
in
the
end
shipmate
and
going
to
the
mate
he
looked
at
him
quietly
and
asked
him
for
some
twine
to
mend
his
hammock
it
was
given
him
neither
twine
nor
lanyard
were
seen
again
but
the
next
night
an
iron
ball
closely
netted
partly
rolled
from
the
pocket
of
the
lakemans
monkey
jacket
as
he
was
tucking
the
coat
into
his
hammock
for
a
pillow
twenty
four
hours
after
his
trick
at
the
silent
helm
nigh
to
the
man
who
was
apt
to
doze
over
the
grave
always
ready
dug
to
the
seamans
hand
that
fatal
hour
was
then
to
come
and
in
the
fore
ordaining
soul
of
steelkilt
the
mate
was
already
stark
and
stretched
as
a
corpse
with
his
forehead
crushed
in
but
gentlemen
a
fool
saved
the
would
be
murderer
from
the
bloody
deed
he
had
planned
yet
complete
revenge
he
had
and
without
being
the
avenger
for
by
a
mysterious
fatality
heaven
itself
seemed
to
step
in
to
take
out
of
his
hands
into
its
own
the
damning
thing
he
would
have
done
it
was
just
between
daybreak
and
sunrise
of
the
morning
of
the
second
day
when
they
were
washing
down
the
decks
that
a
stupid
teneriffe
man
drawing
water
in
the
main
chains
all
at
once
shouted
out
there
she
rolls
there
she
rolls
jesu
what
a
whale
it
was
moby
dick
moby
dick
cried
don
sebastian
st
dominic
sir
sailor
but
do
whales
have
christenings
whom
call
you
moby
dick
a
very
white
and
famous
and
most
deadly
immortal
monster
don
but
that
would
be
too
long
a
story
how
how
cried
all
the
young
spaniards
crowding
nay
dons
dons
nay
nay
i
cannot
rehearse
that
now
let
me
get
more
into
the
air
sirs
the
chicha
the
chicha
cried
don
pedro
our
vigorous
friend
looks
faint
fill
up
his
empty
glass
no
need
gentlemen
one
moment
and
i
proceed
now
gentlemen
so
suddenly
perceiving
the
snowy
whale
within
fifty
yards
of
the
ship
forgetful
of
the
compact
among
the
crew
in
the
excitement
of
the
moment
the
teneriffe
man
had
instinctively
and
involuntarily
lifted
his
voice
for
the
monster
though
for
some
little
time
past
it
had
been
plainly
beheld
from
the
three
sullen
mast
heads
all
was
now
a
phrensy
the
white
whale
the
white
whale
was
the
cry
from
captain
mates
and
harpooneers
who
undeterred
by
fearful
rumors
were
all
anxious
to
capture
so
famous
and
precious
a
fish
while
the
dogged
crew
eyed
askance
and
with
curses
the
appalling
beauty
of
the
vast
milky
mass
that
lit
up
by
a
horizontal
spangling
sun
shifted
and
glistened
like
a
living
opal
in
the
blue
morning
sea
gentlemen
a
strange
fatality
pervades
the
whole
career
of
these
events
as
if
verily
mapped
out
before
the
world
itself
was
charted
the
mutineer
was
the
bowsman
of
the
mate
and
when
fast
to
a
fish
it
was
his
duty
to
sit
next
him
while
radney
stood
up
with
his
lance
in
the
prow
and
haul
in
or
slacken
the
line
at
the
word
of
command
moreover
when
the
four
boats
were
lowered
the
mates
got
the
start
and
none
howled
more
fiercely
with
delight
than
did
steelkilt
as
he
strained
at
his
oar
after
a
stiff
pull
their
harpooneer
got
fast
and
spear
in
hand
radney
sprang
to
the
bow
he
was
always
a
furious
man
it
seems
in
a
boat
and
now
his
bandaged
cry
was
to
beach
him
on
the
whales
topmost
back
nothing
loath
his
bowsman
hauled
him
up
and
up
through
a
blinding
foam
that
blent
two
whitenesses
together
till
of
a
sudden
the
boat
struck
as
against
a
sunken
ledge
and
keeling
over
spilled
out
the
standing
mate
that
instant
as
he
fell
on
the
whales
slippery
back
the
boat
righted
and
was
dashed
aside
by
the
swell
while
radney
was
tossed
over
into
the
sea
on
the
other
flank
of
the
whale
he
struck
out
through
the
spray
and
for
an
instant
was
dimly
seen
through
that
veil
wildly
seeking
to
remove
himself
from
the
eye
of
moby
dick
but
the
whale
rushed
round
in
a
sudden
maelstrom
seized
the
swimmer
between
his
jaws
and
rearing
high
up
with
him
plunged
headlong
again
and
went
down
meantime
at
the
first
tap
of
the
boats
bottom
the
lakeman
had
slackened
the
line
so
as
to
drop
astern
from
the
whirlpool
calmly
looking
on
he
thought
his
own
thoughts
but
a
sudden
terrific
downward
jerking
of
the
boat
quickly
brought
his
knife
to
the
line
he
cut
it
and
the
whale
was
free
but
at
some
distance
moby
dick
rose
again
with
some
tatters
of
radneys
red
woollen
shirt
caught
in
the
teeth
that
had
destroyed
him
all
four
boats
gave
chase
again
but
the
whale
eluded
them
and
finally
wholly
disappeared
in
good
time
the
town
ho
reached
her
port
a
savage
solitary
place
where
no
civilized
creature
resided
there
headed
by
the
lakeman
all
but
five
or
six
of
the
foremast
men
deliberately
deserted
among
the
palms
eventually
as
it
turned
out
seizing
a
large
double
war
canoe
of
the
savages
and
setting
sail
for
some
other
harbor
the
ships
company
being
reduced
to
but
a
handful
the
captain
called
upon
the
islanders
to
assist
him
in
the
laborious
business
of
heaving
down
the
ship
to
stop
the
leak
but
to
such
unresting
vigilance
over
their
dangerous
allies
was
this
small
band
of
whites
necessitated
both
by
night
and
by
day
and
so
extreme
was
the
hard
work
they
underwent
that
upon
the
vessel
being
ready
again
for
sea
they
were
in
such
a
weakened
condition
that
the
captain
durst
not
put
off
with
them
in
so
heavy
a
vessel
after
taking
counsel
with
his
officers
he
anchored
the
ship
as
far
off
shore
as
possible
loaded
and
ran
out
his
two
cannon
from
the
bows
stacked
his
muskets
on
the
poop
and
warning
the
islanders
not
to
approach
the
ship
at
their
peril
took
one
man
with
him
and
setting
the
sail
of
his
best
whale
boat
steered
straight
before
the
wind
for
tahiti
five
hundred
miles
distant
to
procure
a
reinforcement
to
his
crew
on
the
fourth
day
of
the
sail
a
large
canoe
was
descried
which
seemed
to
have
touched
at
a
low
isle
of
corals
he
steered
away
from
it
but
the
savage
craft
bore
down
on
him
and
soon
the
voice
of
steelkilt
hailed
him
to
heave
to
or
he
would
run
him
under
water
the
captain
presented
a
pistol
with
one
foot
on
each
prow
of
the
yoked
war
canoes
the
lakeman
laughed
him
to
scorn
assuring
him
that
if
the
pistol
so
much
as
clicked
in
the
lock
he
would
bury
him
in
bubbles
and
foam
what
do
you
want
of
me
cried
the
captain
where
are
you
bound
and
for
what
are
you
bound
demanded
steelkilt
no
lies
i
am
bound
to
tahiti
for
more
men
very
good
let
me
board
you
a
moment
i
come
in
peace
with
that
he
leaped
from
the
canoe
swam
to
the
boat
and
climbing
the
gunwale
stood
face
to
face
with
the
captain
cross
your
arms
sir
throw
back
your
head
now
repeat
after
me
as
soon
as
steelkilt
leaves
me
i
swear
to
beach
this
boat
on
yonder
island
and
remain
there
six
days
if
i
do
not
may
lightnings
strike
me
a
pretty
scholar
laughed
the
lakemanadios
senor
and
leaping
into
the
sea
he
swam
back
to
his
comrades
watching
the
boat
till
it
was
fairly
beached
and
drawn
up
to
the
roots
of
the
cocoa
nut
trees
steelkilt
made
sail
again
and
in
due
time
arrived
at
tahiti
his
own
place
of
destination
there
luck
befriended
him
two
ships
were
about
to
sail
for
france
and
were
providentially
in
want
of
precisely
that
number
of
men
which
the
sailor
headed
they
embarked
and
so
for
ever
got
the
start
of
their
former
captain
had
he
been
at
all
minded
to
work
them
legal
retribution
some
ten
days
after
the
french
ships
sailed
the
whale
boat
arrived
and
the
captain
was
forced
to
enlist
some
of
the
more
civilized
tahitians
who
had
been
somewhat
used
to
the
sea
chartering
a
small
native
schooner
he
returned
with
them
to
his
vessel
and
finding
all
right
there
again
resumed
his
cruisings
where
steelkilt
now
is
gentlemen
none
know
but
upon
the
island
of
nantucket
the
widow
of
radney
still
turns
to
the
sea
which
refuses
to
give
up
its
dead
still
in
dreams
sees
the
awful
white
whale
that
destroyed
him
are
you
through
said
don
sebastian
quietly
i
am
don
then
i
entreat
you
tell
me
if
to
the
best
of
your
own
convictions
this
story
is
in
substance
really
true
it
is
so
passing
wonderful
did
you
get
it
from
an
unquestionable
source
bear
with
me
if
i
seem
to
press
also
bear
with
all
of
us
sir
sailor
for
we
all
join
in
don
sebastians
suit
cried
the
company
with
exceeding
interest
is
there
a
copy
of
the
holy
evangelists
in
the
golden
inn
gentlemen
nay
said
don
sebastian
but
i
know
a
worthy
priest
near
by
who
will
quickly
procure
one
for
me
i
go
for
it
but
are
you
well
advised
this
may
grow
too
serious
will
you
be
so
good
as
to
bring
the
priest
also
don
though
there
are
no
auto
da
fes
in
lima
now
said
one
of
the
company
to
another
i
fear
our
sailor
friend
runs
risk
of
the
archiepiscopacy
let
us
withdraw
more
out
of
the
moonlight
i
see
no
need
for
this
excuse
me
for
running
after
you
don
sebastian
but
may
i
also
beg
that
you
will
be
particular
in
procuring
the
largest
sized
evangelists
you
can
this
is
the
priest
he
brings
you
the
evangelists
said
don
sebastian
gravely
returning
with
a
tall
and
solemn
figure
let
me
remove
my
hat
now
venerable
priest
further
into
the
light
and
hold
the
holy
book
before
me
that
i
may
touch
it
so
help
me
heaven
and
on
my
honor
the
story
i
have
told
ye
gentlemen
is
in
substance
and
its
great
items
true
i
know
it
to
be
true
it
happened
on
this
ball
i
trod
the
ship
i
knew
the
crew
i
have
seen
and
talked
with
steelkilt
since
the
death
of
radney
the
ancient
whale
cry
upon
first
sighting
a
whale
from
the
mast
head
still
used
by
whalemen
in
hunting
the
famous
gallipagos
terrapin
i
shall
ere
long
paint
to
you
as
well
as
one
can
without
canvas
something
like
the
true
form
of
the
whale
as
he
actually
appears
to
the
eye
of
the
whaleman
when
in
his
own
absolute
body
the
whale
is
moored
alongside
the
whale
ship
so
that
he
can
be
fairly
stepped
upon
there
it
may
be
worth
while
therefore
previously
to
advert
to
those
curious
imaginary
portraits
of
him
which
even
down
to
the
present
day
confidently
challenge
the
faith
of
the
landsman
it
is
time
to
set
the
world
right
in
this
matter
by
proving
such
pictures
of
the
whale
all
wrong
it
may
be
that
the
primal
source
of
all
those
pictorial
delusions
will
be
found
among
the
oldest
hindoo
egyptian
and
grecian
sculptures
for
ever
since
those
inventive
but
unscrupulous
times
when
on
the
marble
panellings
of
temples
the
pedestals
of
statues
and
on
shields
medallions
cups
and
coins
the
dolphin
was
drawn
in
scales
of
chain
armor
like
saladins
and
a
helmeted
head
like
st
georges
ever
since
then
has
something
of
the
same
sort
of
license
prevailed
not
only
in
most
popular
pictures
of
the
whale
but
in
many
scientific
presentations
of
him
now
by
all
odds
the
most
ancient
extant
portrait
anyways
purporting
to
be
the
whales
is
to
be
found
in
the
famous
cavern
pagoda
of
elephanta
in
india
the
brahmins
maintain
that
in
the
almost
endless
sculptures
of
that
immemorial
pagoda
all
the
trades
and
pursuits
every
conceivable
avocation
of
man
were
prefigured
ages
before
any
of
them
actually
came
into
being
no
wonder
then
that
in
some
sort
our
noble
profession
of
whaling
should
have
been
there
shadowed
forth
the
hindoo
whale
referred
to
occurs
in
a
separate
department
of
the
wall
depicting
the
incarnation
of
vishnu
in
the
form
of
leviathan
learnedly
known
as
the
matse
avatar
but
though
this
sculpture
is
half
man
and
half
whale
so
as
only
to
give
the
tail
of
the
latter
yet
that
small
section
of
him
is
all
wrong
it
looks
more
like
the
tapering
tail
of
an
anaconda
than
the
broad
palms
of
the
true
whales
majestic
flukes
but
go
to
the
old
galleries
and
look
now
at
a
great
christian
painters
portrait
of
this
fish
for
he
succeeds
no
better
than
the
antediluvian
hindoo
it
is
guidos
picture
of
perseus
rescuing
andromeda
from
the
sea
monster
or
whale
where
did
guido
get
the
model
of
such
a
strange
creature
as
that
nor
does
hogarth
in
painting
the
same
scene
in
his
own
perseus
descending
make
out
one
whit
better
the
huge

i
nevertheless
call
this
book
binders
fish
an
attempt
at
a
whale
because
it
was
so
intended
when
the
device
was
first
introduced
it
was
introduced
by
an
old
italian
publisher
somewhere
about
the
th
century
during
the
revival
of
learning
and
in
those
days
and
even
down
to
a
comparatively
late
period
dolphins
were
popularly
supposed
to
be
a
species
of
the
leviathan
in
the
vignettes
and
other
embellishments
of
some
ancient
books
you
will
at
times
meet
with
very
curious
touches
at
the
whale
where
all
manner
of
spouts
jets
deau
hot
springs
and
cold
saratoga
and
baden
baden
come
bubbling
up
from
his
unexhausted
brain
in
the
title
page
of
the
original
edition
of
the
advancement
of
learning
you
will
find
some
curious
whales
but
quitting
all
these
unprofessional
attempts
let
us
glance
at
those
pictures
of
leviathan
purporting
to
be
sober
scientific
delineations
by
those
who
know
in
old
harriss
collection
of
voyages
there
are
some
plates
of
whales
extracted
from
a
dutch
book
of
voyages
a
d
entitled
a
whaling
voyage
to
spitzbergen
in
the
ship
jonas
in
the
whale
peter
peterson
of
friesland
master
in
one
of
those
plates
the
whales
like
great
rafts
of
logs
are
represented
lying
among
ice
isles
with
white
bears
running
over
their
living
backs
in
another
plate
the
prodigious
blunder
is
made
of
representing
the
whale
with
perpendicular
flukes
then
again
there
is
an
imposing
quarto
written
by
one
captain
colnett
a
post
captain
in
the
english
navy
entitled
a
voyage
round
cape
horn
into
the
south
seas
for
the
purpose
of
extending
the
spermaceti
whale
fisheries
in
this
book
is
an
outline
purporting
to
be
a
picture
of
a
physeter
or
spermaceti
whale
drawn
by
scale
from
one
killed
on
the
coast
of
mexico
august
and
hoisted
on
deck
i
doubt
not
the
captain
had
this
veracious
picture
taken
for
the
benefit
of
his
marines
to
mention
but
one
thing
about
it
let
me
say
that
it
has
an
eye
which
applied
according
to
the
accompanying
scale
to
a
full
grown
sperm
whale
would
make
the
eye
of
that
whale
a
bow
window
some
five
feet
long
ah
my
gallant
captain
why
did
ye
not
give
us
jonah
looking
out
of
that
eye
nor
are
the
most
conscientious
compilations
of
natural
history
for
the
benefit
of
the
young
and
tender
free
from
the
same
heinousness
of
mistake
look
at
that
popular
work
goldsmiths
animated
nature
in
the
abridged
london
edition
of
there
are
plates
of
an
alleged
whale
and
a
narwhale
i
do
not
wish
to
seem
inelegant
but
this
unsightly
whale
looks
much
like
an
amputated
sow
and
as
for
the
narwhale
one
glimpse
at
it
is
enough
to
amaze
one
that
in
this
nineteenth
century
such
a
hippogriff
could
be
palmed
for
genuine
upon
any
intelligent
public
of
schoolboys
then
again
in
bernard
germain
count
de
lacepede
a
great
naturalist
published
a
scientific
systemized
whale
book
wherein
are
several
pictures
of
the
different
species
of
the
leviathan
all
these
are
not
only
incorrect
but
the
picture
of
the
mysticetus
or
greenland
whale
that
is
to
say
the
right
whale
even
scoresby
a
long
experienced
man
as
touching
that
species
declares
not
to
have
its
counterpart
in
nature
but
the
placing
of
the
cap
sheaf
to
all
this
blundering
business
was
reserved
for
the
scientific
frederick
cuvier
brother
to
the
famous
baron
in
he
published
a
natural
history
of
whales
in
which
he
gives
what
he
calls
a
picture
of
the
sperm
whale
before
showing
that
picture
to
any
nantucketer
you
had
best
provide
for
your
summary
retreat
from
nantucket
in
a
word
frederick
cuviers
sperm
whale
is
not
a
sperm
whale
but
a
squash
of
course
he
never
had
the
benefit
of
a
whaling
voyage
such
men
seldom
have
but
whence
he
derived
that
picture
who
can
tell
perhaps
he
got
it
as
his
scientific
predecessor
in
the
same
field
desmarest
got
one
of
his
authentic
abortions
that
is
from
a
chinese
drawing
and
what
sort
of
lively
lads
with
the
pencil
those
chinese
are
many
queer
cups
and
saucers
inform
us
as
for
the
sign
painters
whales
seen
in
the
streets
hanging
over
the
shops
of
oil
dealers
what
shall
be
said
of
them
they
are
generally
richard
iii
whales
with
dromedary
humps
and
very
savage
breakfasting
on
three
or
four
sailor
tarts
that
is
whaleboats
full
of
mariners
their
deformities
floundering
in
seas
of
blood
and
blue
paint
but
these
manifold
mistakes
in
depicting
the
whale
are
not
so
very
surprising
after
all
consider
most
of
the
scientific
drawings
have
been
taken
from
the
stranded
fish
and
these
are
about
as
correct
as
a
drawing
of
a
wrecked
ship
with
broken
back
would
correctly
represent
the
noble
animal
itself
in
all
its
undashed
pride
of
hull
and
spars
though
elephants
have
stood
for
their
full
lengths
the
living
leviathan
has
never
yet
fairly
floated
himself
for
his
portrait
the
living
whale
in
his
full
majesty
and
significance
is
only
to
be
seen
at
sea
in
unfathomable
waters
and
afloat
the
vast
bulk
of
him
is
out
of
sight
like
a
launched
line
of
battle
ship
and
out
of
that
element
it
is
a
thing
eternally
impossible
for
mortal
man
to
hoist
him
bodily
into
the
air
so
as
to
preserve
all
his
mighty
swells
and
undulations
and
not
to
speak
of
the
highly
presumable
difference
of
contour
between
a
young
sucking
whale
and
a
full
grown
platonian
leviathan
yet
even
in
the
case
of
one
of
those
young
sucking
whales
hoisted
to
a
ships
deck
such
is
then
the
outlandish
eel
like
limbered
varying
shape
of
him
that
his
precise
expression
the
devil
himself
could
not
catch
but
it
may
be
fancied
that
from
the
naked
skeleton
of
the
stranded
whale
accurate
hints
may
be
derived
touching
his
true
form
not
at
all
for
it
is
one
of
the
more
curious
things
about
this
leviathan
that
his
skeleton
gives
very
little
idea
of
his
general
shape
though
jeremy
benthams
skeleton
which
hangs
for
candelabra
in
the
library
of
one
of
his
executors
correctly
conveys
the
idea
of
a
burly
browed
utilitarian
old
gentleman
with
all
jeremys
other
leading
personal
characteristics
yet
nothing
of
this
kind
could
be
inferred
from
any
leviathans
articulated
bones
in
fact
as
the
great
hunter
says
the
mere
skeleton
of
the
whale
bears
the
same
relation
to
the
fully
invested
and
padded
animal
as
the
insect
does
to
the
chrysalis
that
so
roundingly
envelopes
it
this
peculiarity
is
strikingly
evinced
in
the
head
as
in
some
part
of
this
book
will
be
incidentally
shown
it
is
also
very
curiously
displayed
in
the
side
fin
the
bones
of
which
almost
exactly
answer
to
the
bones
of
the
human
hand
minus
only
the
thumb
this
fin
has
four
regular
bone
fingers
the
index
middle
ring
and
little
finger
but
all
these
are
permanently
lodged
in
their
fleshy
covering
as
the
human
fingers
in
an
artificial
covering
however
recklessly
the
whale
may
sometimes
serve
us
said
humorous
stubb
one
day
he
can
never
be
truly
said
to
handle
us
without
mittens
for
all
these
reasons
then
any
way
you
may
look
at
it
you
must
needs
conclude
that
the
great
leviathan
is
that
one
creature
in
the
world
which
must
remain
unpainted
to
the
last
true
one
portrait
may
hit
the
mark
much
nearer
than
another
but
none
can
hit
it
with
any
very
considerable
degree
of
exactness
so
there
is
no
earthly
way
of
finding
out
precisely
what
the
whale
really
looks
like
and
the
only
mode
in
which
you
can
derive
even
a
tolerable
idea
of
his
living
contour
is
by
going
a
whaling
yourself
but
by
so
doing
you
run
no
small
risk
of
being
eternally
stove
and
sunk
by
him
wherefore
it
seems
to
me
you
had
best
not
be
too
fastidious
in
your
curiosity
touching
this
leviathan
pictures
of
whaling
scenes
in
connexion
with
the
monstrous
pictures
of
whales
i
am
strongly
tempted
here
to
enter
upon
those
still
more
monstrous
stories
of
them
which
are
to
be
found
in
certain
books
both
ancient
and
modern
especially
in
pliny
purchas
hackluyt
harris
cuvier
etc
but
i
pass
that
matter
by
i
know
of
only
four
published
outlines
of
the
great
sperm
whale
colnetts
hugginss
frederick
cuviers
and
beales
in
the
previous
chapter
colnett
and
cuvier
have
been
referred
to
hugginss
is
far
better
than
theirs
but
by
great
odds
beales
is
the
best
all
beales
drawings
of
this
whale
are
good
excepting
the
middle
figure
in
the
picture
of
three
whales
in
various
attitudes
capping
his
second
chapter
his
frontispiece
boats
attacking
sperm
whales
though
no
doubt
calculated
to
excite
the
civil
scepticism
of
some
parlor
men
is
admirably
correct
and
life
like
in
its
general
effect
some
of
the
sperm
whale
drawings
in
j
ross
browne
are
pretty
correct
in
contour
but
they
are
wretchedly
engraved
that
is
not
his
fault
though
of
the
right
whale
the
best
outline
pictures
are
in
scoresby
but
they
are
drawn
on
too
small
a
scale
to
convey
a
desirable
impression
he
has
but
one
picture
of
whaling
scenes
and
this
is
a
sad
deficiency
because
it
is
by
such
pictures
only
when
at
all
well
done
that
you
can
derive
anything
like
a
truthful
idea
of
the
living
whale
as
seen
by
his
living
hunters
but
taken
for
all
in
all
by
far
the
finest
though
in
some
details
not
the
most
correct
presentations
of
whales
and
whaling
scenes
to
be
anywhere
found
are
two
large
french
engravings
well
executed
and
taken
from
paintings
by
one
garnery
respectively
they
represent
attacks
on
the
sperm
and
right
whale
in
the
first
engraving
a
noble
sperm
whale
is
depicted
in
full
majesty
of
might
just
risen
beneath
the
boat
from
the
profundities
of
the
ocean
and
bearing
high
in
the
air
upon
his
back
the
terrific
wreck
of
the
stoven
planks
the
prow
of
the
boat
is
partially
unbroken
and
is
drawn
just
balancing
upon
the
monsters
spine
and
standing
in
that
prow
for
that
one
single
incomputable
flash
of
time
you
behold
an
oarsman
half
shrouded
by
the
incensed
boiling
spout
of
the
whale
and
in
the
act
of
leaping
as
if
from
a
precipice
the
action
of
the
whole
thing
is
wonderfully
good
and
true
the
half
emptied
line
tub
floats
on
the
whitened
sea
the
wooden
poles
of
the
spilled
harpoons
obliquely
bob
in
it
the
heads
of
the
swimming
crew
are
scattered
about
the
whale
in
contrasting
expressions
of
affright
while
in
the
black
stormy
distance
the
ship
is
bearing
down
upon
the
scene
serious
fault
might
be
found
with
the
anatomical
details
of
this
whale
but
let
that
pass
since
for
the
life
of
me
i
could
not
draw
so
good
a
one
in
the
second
engraving
the
boat
is
in
the
act
of
drawing
alongside
the
barnacled
flank
of
a
large
running
right
whale
that
rolls
his
black
weedy
bulk
in
the
sea
like
some
mossy
rock
slide
from
the
patagonian
cliffs
his
jets
are
erect
full
and
black
like
soot
so
that
from
so
abounding
a
smoke
in
the
chimney
you
would
think
there
must
be
a
brave
supper
cooking
in
the
great
bowels
below
sea
fowls
are
pecking
at
the
small
crabs
shell
fish
and
other
sea
candies
and
maccaroni
which
the
right
whale
sometimes
carries
on
his
pestilent
back
and
all
the
while
the
thick
lipped
leviathan
is
rushing
through
the
deep
leaving
tons
of
tumultuous
white
curds
in
his
wake
and
causing
the
slight
boat
to
rock
in
the
swells
like
a
skiff
caught
nigh
the
paddle
wheels
of
an
ocean
steamer
thus
the
foreground
is
all
raging
commotion
but
behind
in
admirable
artistic
contrast
is
the
glassy
level
of
a
sea
becalmed
the
drooping
unstarched
sails
of
the
powerless
ship
and
the
inert
mass
of
a
dead
whale
a
conquered
fortress
with
the
flag
of
capture
lazily
hanging
from
the
whale
pole
inserted
into
his
spout
hole
who
garnery
the
painter
is
or
was
i
know
not
but
my
life
for
it
he
was
either
practically
conversant
with
his
subject
or
else
marvellously
tutored
by
some
experienced
whaleman
the
french
are
the
lads
for
painting
action
go
and
gaze
upon
all
the
paintings
in
europe
and
where
will
you
find
such
a
gallery
of
living
and
breathing
commotion
on
canvas
as
in
that
triumphal
hall
at
versailles
where
the
beholder
fights
his
way
pell
mell
through
the
consecutive
great
battles
of
france
where
every
sword
seems
a
flash
of
the
northern
lights
and
the
successive
armed
kings
and
emperors
dash
by
like
a
charge
of
crowned
centaurs
not
wholly
unworthy
of
a
place
in
that
gallery
are
these
sea
battle
pieces
of
garnery
the
natural
aptitude
of
the
french
for
seizing
the
picturesqueness
of
things
seems
to
be
peculiarly
evinced
in
what
paintings
and
engravings
they
have
of
their
whaling
scenes
with
not
one
tenth
of
englands
experience
in
the
fishery
and
not
the
thousandth
part
of
that
of
the
americans
they
have
nevertheless
furnished
both
nations
with
the
only
finished
sketches
at
all
capable
of
conveying
the
real
spirit
of
the
whale
hunt
for
the
most
part
the
english
and
american
whale
draughtsmen
seem
entirely
content
with
presenting
the
mechanical
outline
of
things
such
as
the
vacant
profile
of
the
whale
which
so
far
as
picturesqueness
of
effect
is
concerned
is
about
tantamount
to
sketching
the
profile
of
a
pyramid
even
scoresby
the
justly
renowned
right
whaleman
after
giving
us
a
stiff
full
length
of
the
greenland
whale
and
three
or
four
delicate
miniatures
of
narwhales
and
porpoises
treats
us
to
a
series
of
classical
engravings
of
boat
hooks
chopping
knives
and
grapnels
and
with
the
microscopic
diligence
of
a
leuwenhoeck
submits
to
the
inspection
of
a
shivering
world
ninety
six
fac
similes
of
magnified
arctic
snow
crystals
i
mean
no
disparagement
to
the
excellent
voyager
i
honor
him
for
a
veteran
but
in
so
important
a
matter
it
was
certainly
an
oversight
not
to
have
procured
for
every
crystal
a
sworn
affidavit
taken
before
a
greenland
justice
of
the
peace
in
addition
to
those
fine
engravings
from
garnery
there
are
two
other
french
engravings
worthy
of
note
by
some
one
who
subscribes
himself
h
durand
one
of
them
though
not
precisely
adapted
to
our
present
purpose
nevertheless
deserves
mention
on
other
accounts
it
is
a
quiet
noon
scene
among
the
isles
of
the
pacific
a
french
whaler
anchored
inshore
in
a
calm
and
lazily
taking
water
on
board
the
loosened
sails
of
the
ship
and
the
long
leaves
of
the
palms
in
the
background
both
drooping
together
in
the
breezeless
air
the
effect
is
very
fine
when
considered
with
reference
to
its
presenting
the
hardy
fishermen
under
one
of
their
few
aspects
of
oriental
repose
the
other
engraving
is
quite
a
different
affair
the
ship
hove
to
upon
the
open
sea
and
in
the
very
heart
of
the
leviathanic
life
with
a
right
whale
alongside
the
vessel
in
the
act
of

as
if
to

hurriedly
pushing
off
from
this
scene
of
activity
is
about
giving
chase
to
whales
in
the
distance
the
harpoons
and
lances
lie
levelled
for
use
three
oarsmen
are
just
setting
the
mast
in
its
hole
while
from
a
sudden
roll
of
the
sea
the
little
craft
stands
half
erect
out
of
the
water
like
a
rearing
horse
from
the
ship
the
smoke
of
the
torments
of
the
boiling
whale
is
going
up
like
the
smoke
over
a
village
of
smithies
and
to
windward
a
black
cloud
rising
up
with
earnest
of
squalls
and
rains
seems
to
quicken
the
activity
of
the
excited
seamen
sheet
iron
in
stone
in
mountains
in
stars
on
tower
hill
as
you
go
down
to
the
london
docks
you
may
have
seen
a
crippled
beggar
or
kedger
as
the
sailors
say
holding
a
painted
board
before
him
representing
the
tragic
scene
in
which
he
lost
his
leg
there
are
three
whales
and
three
boats
and
one
of
the
boats
presumed
to
contain
the
missing
leg
in
all
its
original
integrity
is
being
crunched
by
the
jaws
of
the
foremost
whale
any
time
these
ten
years
they
tell
me
has
that
man
held
up
that
picture
and
exhibited
that
stump
to
an
incredulous
world
but
the
time
of
his
justification
has
now
come
his
three
whales
are
as
good
whales
as
were
ever
published
in
wapping
at
any
rate
and
his
stump
as
unquestionable
a
stump
as
any
you
will
find
in
the
western
clearings
but
though
for
ever
mounted
on
that
stump
never
a
stump
speech
does
the
poor
whaleman
make
but
with
downcast
eyes
stands
ruefully
contemplating
his
own
amputation
throughout
the
pacific
and
also
in
nantucket
and
new
bedford
and
sag
harbor
you
will
come
across
lively
sketches
of
whales
and
whaling
scenes
graven
by
the
fishermen
themselves
on
sperm
whale
teeth
or
ladies
busks
wrought
out
of
the
right
whale
bone
and
other
like
skrimshander
articles
as
the
whalemen
call
the
numerous
little
ingenious
contrivances
they
elaborately
carve
out
of
the
rough
material
in
their
hours
of
ocean
leisure
some
of
them
have
little
boxes
of
dentistical
looking
implements
specially
intended
for
the
skrimshandering
business
but
in
general
they
toil
with
their
jack
knives
alone
and
with
that
almost
omnipotent
tool
of
the
sailor
they
will
turn
you
out
anything
you
please
in
the
way
of
a
mariners
fancy
long
exile
from
christendom
and
civilization
inevitably
restores
a
man
to
that
condition
in
which
god
placed
him
i
e
what
is
called
savagery
your
true
whale
hunter
is
as
much
a
savage
as
an
iroquois
i
myself
am
a
savage
owning
no
allegiance
but
to
the
king
of
the
cannibals
and
ready
at
any
moment
to
rebel
against
him
now
one
of
the
peculiar
characteristics
of
the
savage
in
his
domestic
hours
is
his
wonderful
patience
of
industry
an
ancient
hawaiian
war
club
or
spear
paddle
in
its
full
multiplicity
and
elaboration
of
carving
is
as
great
a
trophy
of
human
perseverance
as
a
latin
lexicon
for
with
but
a
bit
of
broken
sea
shell
or
a
sharks
tooth
that
miraculous
intricacy
of
wooden
net
work
has
been
achieved
and
it
has
cost
steady
years
of
steady
application
as
with
the
hawaiian
savage
so
with
the
white
sailor
savage
with
the
same
marvellous
patience
and
with
the
same
single
sharks
tooth
of
his
one
poor
jack
knife
he
will
carve
you
a
bit
of
bone
sculpture
not
quite
as
workmanlike
but
as
close
packed
in
its
maziness
of
design
as
the
greek
savage
achilless
shield
and
full
of
barbaric
spirit
and
suggestiveness
as
the
prints
of
that
fine
old
dutch
savage
albert
durer
wooden
whales
or
whales
cut
in
profile
out
of
the
small
dark
slabs
of
the
noble
south
sea
war
wood
are
frequently
met
with
in
the
forecastles
of
american
whalers
some
of
them
are
done
with
much
accuracy
at
some
old
gable
roofed
country
houses
you
will
see
brass
whales
hung
by
the
tail
for
knockers
to
the
road
side
door
when
the
porter
is
sleepy
the
anvil
headed
whale
would
be
best
but
these
knocking
whales
are
seldom
remarkable
as
faithful
essays
on
the
spires
of
some
old
fashioned
churches
you
will
see
sheet
iron
whales
placed
there
for
weather
cocks
but
they
are
so
elevated
and
besides
that
are
to
all
intents
and
purposes
so
labelled
with
hands
off
you
cannot
examine
them
closely
enough
to
decide
upon
their
merit
in
bony
ribby
regions
of
the
earth
where
at
the
base
of
high
broken
cliffs
masses
of
rock
lie
strewn
in
fantastic
groupings
upon
the
plain
you
will
often
discover
images
as
of
the
petrified
forms
of
the
leviathan
partly
merged
in
grass
which
of
a
windy
day
breaks
against
them
in
a
surf
of
green
surges
then
again
in
mountainous
countries
where
the
traveller
is
continually
girdled
by
amphitheatrical
heights
here
and
there
from
some
lucky
point
of
view
you
will
catch
passing
glimpses
of
the
profiles
of
whales
defined
along
the
undulating
ridges
but
you
must
be
a
thorough
whaleman
to
see
these
sights
and
not
only
that
but
if
you
wish
to
return
to
such
a
sight
again
you
must
be
sure
and
take
the
exact
intersecting
latitude
and
longitude
of
your
first
stand
point
else
so
chance
like
are
such
observations
of
the
hills
that
your
precise
previous
stand
point
would
require
a
laborious
re
discovery
like
the
solomon
islands
which
still
remain
incognita
though
once
high
ruffed
mendanna
trod
them
and
old
figuera
chronicled
them
nor
when
expandingly
lifted
by
your
subject
can
you
fail
to
trace
out
great
whales
in
the
starry
heavens
and
boats
in
pursuit
of
them
as
when
long
filled
with
thoughts
of
war
the
eastern
nations
saw
armies
locked
in
battle
among
the
clouds
thus
at
the
north
have
i
chased
leviathan
round
and
round
the
pole
with
the
revolutions
of
the
bright
points
that
first
defined
him
to
me
and
beneath
the
effulgent
antarctic
skies
i
have
boarded
the
argo
navis
and
joined
the
chase
against
the
starry
cetus
far
beyond
the
utmost
stretch
of
hydrus
and
the
flying
fish
with
a
frigates
anchors
for
my
bridle
bitts
and
fasces
of
harpoons
for
spurs
would
i
could
mount
that
whale
and
leap
the
topmost
skies
to
see
whether
the
fabled
heavens
with
all
their
countless
tents
really
lie
encamped
beyond
my
mortal
sight
steering
north
eastward
from
the
crozetts
we
fell
in
with
vast
meadows
of
brit
the
minute
yellow
substance
upon
which
the
right
whale
largely
feeds
for
leagues
and
leagues
it
undulated
round
us
so
that
we
seemed
to
be
sailing
through
boundless
fields
of
ripe
and
golden
wheat
on
the
second
day
numbers
of
right
whales
were
seen
who
secure
from
the
attack
of
a
sperm
whaler
like
the
pequod
with
open
jaws
sluggishly
swam
through
the
brit
which
adhering
to
the
fringing
fibres
of
that
wondrous
venetian
blind
in
their
mouths
was
in
that
manner
separated
from
the
water
that
escaped
at
the
lip
as
morning
mowers
who
side
by
side
slowly
and
seethingly
advance
their
scythes
through
the
long
wet
grass
of
marshy
meads
even
so
these
monsters
swam
making
a
strange
grassy
cutting
sound
and
leaving
behind
them
endless
swaths
of
blue
upon
the
yellow
sea
but
it
was
only
the
sound
they
made
as
they
parted
the
brit
which
at
all
reminded
one
of
mowers
seen
from
the
mast
heads
especially
when
they
paused
and
were
stationary
for
a
while
their
vast
black
forms
looked
more
like
lifeless
masses
of
rock
than
anything
else
and
as
in
the
great
hunting
countries
of
india
the
stranger
at
a
distance
will
sometimes
pass
on
the
plains
recumbent
elephants
without
knowing
them
to
be
such
taking
them
for
bare
blackened
elevations
of
the
soil
even
so
often
with
him
who
for
the
first
time
beholds
this
species
of
the
leviathans
of
the
sea
and
even
when
recognised
at
last
their
immense
magnitude
renders
it
very
hard
really
to
believe
that
such
bulky
masses
of
overgrowth
can
possibly
be
instinct
in
all
parts
with
the
same
sort
of
life
that
lives
in
a
dog
or
a
horse
indeed
in
other
respects
you
can
hardly
regard
any
creatures
of
the
deep
with
the
same
feelings
that
you
do
those
of
the
shore
for
though
some
old
naturalists
have
maintained
that
all
creatures
of
the
land
are
of
their
kind
in
the
sea
and
though
taking
a
broad
general
view
of
the
thing
this
may
very
well
be
yet
coming
to
specialties
where
for
example
does
the
ocean
furnish
any
fish
that
in
disposition
answers
to
the
sagacious
kindness
of
the
dog
the
accursed
shark
alone
can
in
any
generic
respect
be
said
to
bear
comparative
analogy
to
him
but
though
to
landsmen
in
general
the
native
inhabitants
of
the
seas
have
ever
been
regarded
with
emotions
unspeakably
unsocial
and
repelling
though
we
know
the
sea
to
be
an
everlasting
terra
incognita
so
that
columbus
sailed
over
numberless
unknown
worlds
to
discover
his
one
superficial
western
one
though
by
vast
odds
the
most
terrific
of
all
mortal
disasters
have
immemorially
and
indiscriminately
befallen
tens
and
hundreds
of
thousands
of
those
who
have
gone
upon
the
waters
though
but
a
moments
consideration
will
teach
that
however
baby
man
may
brag
of
his
science
and
skill
and
however
much
in
a
flattering
future
that
science
and
skill
may
augment
yet
for
ever
and
for
ever
to
the
crack
of
doom
the
sea
will
insult
and
murder
him
and
pulverize
the
stateliest
stiffest
frigate
he
can
make
nevertheless
by
the
continual
repetition
of
these
very
impressions
man
has
lost
that
sense
of
the
full
awfulness
of
the
sea
which
aboriginally
belongs
to
it
the
first
boat
we
read
of
floated
on
an
ocean
that
with
portuguese
vengeance
had
whelmed
a
whole
world
without
leaving
so
much
as
a
widow
that
same
ocean
rolls
now
that
same
ocean
destroyed
the
wrecked
ships
of
last
year
yea
foolish
mortals
noahs
flood
is
not
yet
subsided
two
thirds
of
the
fair
world
it
yet
covers
wherein
differ
the
sea
and
the
land
that
a
miracle
upon
one
is
not
a
miracle
upon
the
other
preternatural
terrors
rested
upon
the
hebrews
when
under
the
feet
of
korah
and
his
company
the
live
ground
opened
and
swallowed
them
up
for
ever
yet
not
a
modern
sun
ever
sets
but
in
precisely
the
same
manner
the
live
sea
swallows
up
ships
and
crews
but
not
only
is
the
sea
such
a
foe
to
man
who
is
an
alien
to
it
but
it
is
also
a
fiend
to
its
own
offspring
worse
than
the
persian
host
who
murdered
his
own
guests
sparing
not
the
creatures
which
itself
hath
spawned
like
a
savage
tigress
that
tossing
in
the
jungle
overlays
her
own
cubs
so
the
sea
dashes
even
the
mightiest
whales
against
the
rocks
and
leaves
them
there
side
by
side
with
the
split
wrecks
of
ships
no
mercy
no
power
but
its
own
controls
it
panting
and
snorting
like
a
mad
battle
steed
that
has
lost
its
rider
the
masterless
ocean
overruns
the
globe
consider
the
subtleness
of
the
sea
how
its
most
dreaded
creatures
glide
under
water
unapparent
for
the
most
part
and
treacherously
hidden
beneath
the
loveliest
tints
of
azure
consider
also
the
devilish
brilliance
and
beauty
of
many
of
its
most
remorseless
tribes
as
the
dainty
embellished
shape
of
many
species
of
sharks
consider
once
more
the
universal
cannibalism
of
the
sea
all
whose
creatures
prey
upon
each
other
carrying
on
eternal
war
since
the
world
began
consider
all
this
and
then
turn
to
this
green
gentle
and
most
docile
earth
consider
them
both
the
sea
and
the
land
and
do
you
not
find
a
strange
analogy
to
something
in
yourself
for
as
this
appalling
ocean
surrounds
the
verdant
land
so
in
the
soul
of
man
there
lies
one
insular
tahiti
full
of
peace
and
joy
but
encompassed
by
all
the
horrors
of
the
half
known
life
god
keep
thee
push
not
off
from
that
isle
thou
canst
never
return
that
part
of
the
sea
known
among
whalemen
as
the
brazil
banks
does
not
bear
that
name
as
the
banks
of
newfoundland
do
because
of
there
being
shallows
and
soundings
there
but
because
of
this
remarkable
meadow
like
appearance
caused
by
the
vast
drifts
of
brit
continually
floating
in
those
latitudes
where
the
right
whale
is
often
chased
slowly
wading
through
the
meadows
of
brit
the
pequod
still
held
on
her
way
north
eastward
towards
the
island
of
java
a
gentle
air
impelling
her
keel
so
that
in
the
surrounding
serenity
her
three
tall
tapering
masts
mildly
waved
to
that
languid
breeze
as
three
mild
palms
on
a
plain
and
still
at
wide
intervals
in
the
silvery
night
the
lonely
alluring
jet
would
be
seen
but
one
transparent
blue
morning
when
a
stillness
almost
preternatural
spread
over
the
sea
however
unattended
with
any
stagnant
calm
when
the
long
burnished
sun
glade
on
the
waters
seemed
a
golden
finger
laid
across
them
enjoining
some
secresy
when
the
slippered
waves
whispered
together
as
they
softly
ran
on
in
this
profound
hush
of
the
visible
sphere
a
strange
spectre
was
seen
by
daggoo
from
the
main
mast
head
in
the
distance
a
great
white
mass
lazily
rose
and
rising
higher
and
higher
and
disentangling
itself
from
the
azure
at
last
gleamed
before
our
prow
like
a
snow
slide
new
slid
from
the
hills
thus
glistening
for
a
moment
as
slowly
it
subsided
and
sank
then
once
more
arose
and
silently
gleamed
it
seemed
not
a
whale
and
yet
is
this
moby
dick
thought
daggoo
again
the
phantom
went
down
but
on
re
appearing
once
more
with
a
stiletto
like
cry
that
startled
every
man
from
his
nod
the
negro
yelled
out
there
there
again
there
she
breaches
right
ahead
the
white
whale
the
white
whale
upon
this
the
seamen
rushed
to
the
yard
arms
as
in
swarming
time
the
bees
rush
to
the
boughs
bare
headed
in
the
sultry
sun
ahab
stood
on
the
bowsprit
and
with
one
hand
pushed
far
behind
in
readiness
to
wave
his
orders
to
the
helmsman
cast
his
eager
glance
in
the
direction
indicated
aloft
by
the
outstretched
motionless
arm
of
daggoo
whether
the
flitting
attendance
of
the
one
still
and
solitary
jet
had
gradually
worked
upon
ahab
so
that
he
was
now
prepared
to
connect
the
ideas
of
mildness
and
repose
with
the
first
sight
of
the
particular
whale
he
pursued
however
this
was
or
whether
his
eagerness
betrayed
him
whichever
way
it
might
have
been
no
sooner
did
he
distinctly
perceive
the
white
mass
than
with
a
quick
intensity
he
instantly
gave
orders
for
lowering
the
four
boats
were
soon
on
the
water
ahabs
in
advance
and
all
swiftly
pulling
towards
their
prey
soon
it
went
down
and
while
with
oars
suspended
we
were
awaiting
its
reappearance
lo
in
the
same
spot
where
it
sank
once
more
it
slowly
rose
almost
forgetting
for
the
moment
all
thoughts
of
moby
dick
we
now
gazed
at
the
most
wondrous
phenomenon
which
the
secret
seas
have
hitherto
revealed
to
mankind
a
vast
pulpy
mass
furlongs
in
length
and
breadth
of
a
glancing
cream
color
lay
floating
on
the
water
innumerable
long
arms
radiating
from
its
centre
and
curling
and
twisting
like
a
nest
of
anacondas
as
if
blindly
to
clutch
at
any
hapless
object
within
reach
no
perceptible
face
or
front
did
it
have
no
conceivable
token
of
either
sensation
or
instinct
but
undulated
there
on
the
billows
an
unearthly
formless
chance
like
apparition
of
life
as
with
a
low
sucking
sound
it
slowly
disappeared
again
starbuck
still
gazing
at
the
agitated
waters
where
it
had
sunk
with
a
wild
voice
exclaimed
almost
rather
had
i
seen
moby
dick
and
fought
him
than
to
have
seen
thee
thou
white
ghost
what
was
it
sir
said
flask
the
great
live
squid
which
they
say
few
whale
ships
ever
beheld
and
returned
to
their
ports
to
tell
of
it
but
ahab
said
nothing
turning
his
boat
he
sailed
back
to
the
vessel
the
rest
as
silently
following
whatever
superstitions
the
sperm
whalemen
in
general
have
connected
with
the
sight
of
this
object
certain
it
is
that
a
glimpse
of
it
being
so
very
unusual
that
circumstance
has
gone
far
to
invest
it
with
portentousness
so
rarely
is
it
beheld
that
though
one
and
all
of
them
declare
it
to
be
the
largest
animated
thing
in
the
ocean
yet
very
few
of
them
have
any
but
the
most
vague
ideas
concerning
its
true
nature
and
form
notwithstanding
they
believe
it
to
furnish
to
the
sperm
whale
his
only
food
for
though
other
species
of
whales
find
their
food
above
water
and
may
be
seen
by
man
in
the
act
of
feeding
the
spermaceti
whale
obtains
his
whole
food
in
unknown
zones
below
the
surface
and
only
by
inference
is
it
that
any
one
can
tell
of
what
precisely
that
food
consists
at
times
when
closely
pursued
he
will
disgorge
what
are
supposed
to
be
the
detached
arms
of
the
squid
some
of
them
thus
exhibited
exceeding
twenty
and
thirty
feet
in
length
they
fancy
that
the
monster
to
which
these
arms
belonged
ordinarily
clings
by
them
to
the
bed
of
the
ocean
and
that
the
sperm
whale
unlike
other
species
is
supplied
with
teeth
in
order
to
attack
and
tear
it
there
seems
some
ground
to
imagine
that
the
great
kraken
of
bishop
pontoppodan
may
ultimately
resolve
itself
into
squid
the
manner
in
which
the
bishop
describes
it
as
alternately
rising
and
sinking
with
some
other
particulars
he
narrates
in
all
this
the
two
correspond
but
much
abatement
is
necessary
with
respect
to
the
incredible
bulk
he
assigns
it
by
some
naturalists
who
have
vaguely
heard
rumors
of
the
mysterious
creature
here
spoken
of
it
is
included
among
the
class
of
cuttle
fish
to
which
indeed
in
certain
external
respects
it
would
seem
to
belong
but
only
as
the
anak
of
the
tribe
with
reference
to
the
whaling
scene
shortly
to
be
described
as
well
as
for
the
better
understanding
of
all
similar
scenes
elsewhere
presented
i
have
here
to
speak
of
the
magical
sometimes
horrible
whale
line
the
line
originally
used
in
the
fishery
was
of
the
best
hemp
slightly
vapored
with
tar
not
impregnated
with
it
as
in
the
case
of
ordinary
ropes
for
while
tar
as
ordinarily
used
makes
the
hemp
more
pliable
to
the
rope
maker
and
also
renders
the
rope
itself
more
convenient
to
the
sailor
for
common
ship
use
yet
not
only
would
the
ordinary
quantity
too
much
stiffen
the
whale
line
for
the
close
coiling
to
which
it
must
be
subjected
but
as
most
seamen
are
beginning
to
learn
tar
in
general
by
no
means
adds
to
the
ropes
durability
or
strength
however
much
it
may
give
it
compactness
and
gloss
of
late
years
the
manilla
rope
has
in
the
american
fishery
almost
entirely
superseded
hemp
as
a
material
for
whale
lines
for
though
not
so
durable
as
hemp
it
is
stronger
and
far
more
soft
and
elastic
and
i
will
add
since
there
is
an
aesthetics
in
all
things
is
much
more
handsome
and
becoming
to
the
boat
than
hemp
hemp
is
a
dusky
dark
fellow
a
sort
of
indian
but
manilla
is
as
a
golden
haired
circassian
to
behold
the
whale
line
is
only
two
thirds
of
an
inch
in
thickness
at
first
sight
you
would
not
think
it
so
strong
as
it
really
is
by
experiment
its
one
and
fifty
yarns
will
each
suspend
a
weight
of
one
hundred
and
twenty
pounds
so
that
the
whole
rope
will
bear
a
strain
nearly
equal
to
three
tons
in
length
the
common
sperm
whale
line
measures
something
over
two
hundred
fathoms
towards
the
stern
of
the
boat
it
is
spirally
coiled
away
in
the
tub
not
like
the
worm
pipe
of
a
still
though
but
so
as
to
form
one
round
cheese
shaped
mass
of
densely
bedded
sheaves
or
layers
of
concentric
spiralizations
without
any
hollow
but
the
heart
or
minute
vertical
tube
formed
at
the
axis
of
the
cheese
as
the
least
tangle
or
kink
in
the
coiling
would
in
running
out
infallibly
take
somebodys
arm
leg
or
entire
body
off
the
utmost
precaution
is
used
in
stowing
the
line
in
its
tub
some
harpooneers
will
consume
almost
an
entire
morning
in
this
business
carrying
the
line
high
aloft
and
then
reeving
it
downwards
through
a
block
towards
the
tub
so
as
in
the
act
of
coiling
to
free
it
from
all
possible
wrinkles
and
twists
in
the
english
boats
two
tubs
are
used
instead
of
one
the
same
line
being
continuously
coiled
in
both
tubs
there
is
some
advantage
in
this
because
these
twin
tubs
being
so
small
they
fit
more
readily
into
the
boat
and
do
not
strain
it
so
much
whereas
the
american
tub
nearly
three
feet
in
diameter
and
of
proportionate
depth
makes
a
rather
bulky
freight
for
a
craft
whose
planks
are
but
one
half
inch
in
thickness
for
the
bottom
of
the
whale
boat
is
like
critical
ice
which
will
bear
up
a
considerable
distributed
weight
but
not
very
much
of
a
concentrated
one
when
the
painted
canvas
cover
is
clapped
on
the
american
line
tub
the
boat
looks
as
if
it
were
pulling
off
with
a
prodigious
great
wedding
cake
to
present
to
the
whales
both
ends
of
the
line
are
exposed
the
lower
end
terminating
in
an
eye
splice
or
loop
coming
up
from
the
bottom
against
the
side
of
the
tub
and
hanging
over
its
edge
completely
disengaged
from
everything
this
arrangement
of
the
lower
end
is
necessary
on
two
accounts
first
in
order
to
facilitate
the
fastening
to
it
of
an
additional
line
from
a
neighboring
boat
in
case
the
stricken
whale
should
sound
so
deep
as
to
threaten
to
carry
off
the
entire
line
originally
attached
to
the
harpoon
in
these
instances
the
whale
of
course
is
shifted
like
a
mug
of
ale
as
it
were
from
the
one
boat
to
the
other
though
the
first
boat
always
hovers
at
hand
to
assist
its
consort
second
this
arrangement
is
indispensable
for
common
safetys
sake
for
were
the
lower
end
of
the
line
in
any
way
attached
to
the
boat
and
were
the
whale
then
to
run
the
line
out
to
the
end
almost
in
a
single
smoking
minute
as
he
sometimes
does
he
would
not
stop
there
for
the
doomed
boat
would
infallibly
be
dragged
down
after
him
into
the
profundity
of
the
sea
and
in
that
case
no
town
crier
would
ever
find
her
again
before
lowering
the
boat
for
the
chase
the
upper
end
of
the
line
is
taken
aft
from
the
tub
and
passing
round
the
logger
head
there
is
again
carried
forward
the
entire
length
of
the
boat
resting
crosswise
upon
the
loom
or
handle
of
every
mans
oar
so
that
it
jogs
against
his
wrist
in
rowing
and
also
passing
between
the
men
as
they
alternately
sit
at
the
opposite
gunwales
to
the
leaded
chocks
or
grooves
in
the
extreme
pointed
prow
of
the
boat
where
a
wooden
pin
or
skewer
the
size
of
a
common
quill
prevents
it
from
slipping
out
from
the
chocks
it
hangs
in
a
slight
festoon
over
the
bows
and
is
then
passed
inside
the
boat
again
and
some
ten
or
twenty
fathoms
called
box
line
being
coiled
upon
the
box
in
the
bows
it
continues
its
way
to
the
gunwale
still
a
little
further
aft
and
is
then
attached
to
the
short
warp
the
rope
which
is
immediately
connected
with
the
harpoon
but
previous
to
that
connexion
the
short
warp
goes
through
sundry
mystifications
too
tedious
to
detail
thus
the
whale
line
folds
the
whole
boat
in
its
complicated
coils
twisting
and
writhing
around
it
in
almost
every
direction
all
the
oarsmen
are
involved
in
its
perilous
contortions
so
that
to
the
timid
eye
of
the
landsman
they
seem
as
indian
jugglers
with
the
deadliest
snakes
sportively
festooning
their
limbs
nor
can
any
son
of
mortal
woman
for
the
first
time
seat
himself
amid
those
hempen
intricacies
and
while
straining
his
utmost
at
the
oar
bethink
him
that
at
any
unknown
instant
the
harpoon
may
be
darted
and
all
these
horrible
contortions
be
put
in
play
like
ringed
lightnings
he
cannot
be
thus
circumstanced
without
a
shudder
that
makes
the
very
marrow
in
his
bones
to
quiver
in
him
like
a
shaken
jelly
yet
habit
strange
thing
what
cannot
habit
accomplish
gayer
sallies
more
merry
mirth
better
jokes
and
brighter
repartees
you
never
heard
over
your
mahogany
than
you
will
hear
over
the
half
inch
white
cedar
of
the
whale
boat
when
thus
hung
in
hangmans
nooses
and
like
the
six
burghers
of
calais
before
king
edward
the
six
men
composing
the
crew
pull
into
the
jaws
of
death
with
a
halter
around
every
neck
as
you
may
say
perhaps
a
very
little
thought
will
now
enable
you
to
account
for
those
repeated
whaling
disasters
some
few
of
which
are
casually
chronicled
of
this
man
or
that
man
being
taken
out
of
the
boat
by
the
line
and
lost
for
when
the
line
is
darting
out
to
be
seated
then
in
the
boat
is
like
being
seated
in
the
midst
of
the
manifold
whizzings
of
a
steam
engine
in
full
play
when
every
flying
beam
and
shaft
and
wheel
is
grazing
you
it
is
worse
for
you
cannot
sit
motionless
in
the
heart
of
these
perils
because
the
boat
is
rocking
like
a
cradle
and
you
are
pitched
one
way
and
the
other
without
the
slightest
warning
and
only
by
a
certain
self
adjusting
buoyancy
and
simultaneousness
of
volition
and
action
can
you
escape
being
made
a
mazeppa
of
and
run
away
with
where
the
all
seeing
sun
himself
could
never
pierce
you
out
again
as
the
profound
calm
which
only
apparently
precedes
and
prophesies
of
the
storm
is
perhaps
more
awful
than
the
storm
itself
for
indeed
the
calm
is
but
the
wrapper
and
envelope
of
the
storm
and
contains
it
in
itself
as
the
seemingly
harmless
rifle
holds
the
fatal
powder
and
the
ball
and
the
explosion
so
the
graceful
repose
of
the
line
as
it
silently
serpentines
about
the
oarsmen
before
being
brought
into
actual
play
this
is
a
thing
which
carries
more
of
true
terror
than
any
other
aspect
of
this
dangerous
affair
but
why
say
more
all
men
live
enveloped
in
whale
lines
all
are
born
with
halters
round
their
necks
but
it
is
only
when
caught
in
the
swift
sudden
turn
of
death
that
mortals
realize
the
silent
subtle
ever
present
perils
of
life
and
if
you
be
a
philosopher
though
seated
in
the
whale
boat
you
would
not
at
heart
feel
one
whit
more
of
terror
than
though
seated
before
your
evening
fire
with
a
poker
and
not
a
harpoon
by
your
side
if
to
starbuck
the
apparition
of
the
squid
was
a
thing
of
portents
to
queequeg
it
was
quite
a
different
object
when
you
see
him
quid
said
the
savage
honing
his
harpoon
in
the
bow
of
his
hoisted
boat
then
you
quick
see
him
parm
whale
the
next
day
was
exceedingly
still
and
sultry
and
with
nothing
special
to
engage
them
the
pequods
crew
could
hardly
resist
the
spell
of
sleep
induced
by
such
a
vacant
sea
for
this
part
of
the
indian
ocean
through
which
we
then
were
voyaging
is
not
what
whalemen
call
a
lively
ground
that
is
it
affords
fewer
glimpses
of
porpoises
dolphins
flying
fish
and
other
vivacious
denizens
of
more
stirring
waters
than
those
off
the
rio
de
la
plata
or
the
in
shore
ground
off
peru
it
was
my
turn
to
stand
at
the
foremast
head
and
with
my
shoulders
leaning
against
the
slackened
royal
shrouds
to
and
fro
i
idly
swayed
in
what
seemed
an
enchanted
air
no
resolution
could
withstand
it
in
that
dreamy
mood
losing
all
consciousness
at
last
my
soul
went
out
of
my
body
though
my
body
still
continued
to
sway
as
a
pendulum
will
long
after
the
power
which
first
moved
it
is
withdrawn
ere
forgetfulness
altogether
came
over
me
i
had
noticed
that
the
seamen
at
the
main
and
mizen
mast
heads
were
already
drowsy
so
that
at
last
all
three
of
us
lifelessly
swung
from
the
spars
and
for
every
swing
that
we
made
there
was
a
nod
from
below
from
the
slumbering
helmsman
the
waves
too
nodded
their
indolent
crests
and
across
the
wide
trance
of
the
sea
east
nodded
to
west
and
the
sun
over
all
suddenly
bubbles
seemed
bursting
beneath
my
closed
eyes
like
vices
my
hands
grasped
the
shrouds
some
invisible
gracious
agency
preserved
me
with
a
shock
i
came
back
to
life
and
lo
close
under
our
lee
not
forty
fathoms
off
a
gigantic
sperm
whale
lay
rolling
in
the
water
like
the
capsized
hull
of
a
frigate
his
broad
glossy
back
of
an
ethiopian
hue
glistening
in
the
suns
rays
like
a
mirror
but
lazily
undulating
in
the
trough
of
the
sea
and
ever
and
anon
tranquilly
spouting
his
vapory
jet
the
whale
looked
like
a
portly
burgher
smoking
his
pipe
of
a
warm
afternoon
but
that
pipe
poor
whale
was
thy
last
as
if
struck
by
some
enchanters
wand
the
sleepy
ship
and
every
sleeper
in
it
all
at
once
started
into
wakefulness
and
more
than
a
score
of
voices
from
all
parts
of
the
vessel
simultaneously
with
the
three
notes
from
aloft
shouted
forth
the
accustomed
cry
as
the
great
fish
slowly
and
regularly
spouted
the
sparkling
brine
into
the
air
clear
away
the
boats
luff
cried
ahab
and
obeying
his
own
order
he
dashed
the
helm
down
before
the
helmsman
could
handle
the
spokes
the
sudden
exclamations
of
the
crew
must
have
alarmed
the
whale
and
ere
the
boats
were
down
majestically
turning
he
swam
away
to
the
leeward
but
with
such
a
steady
tranquillity
and
making
so
few
ripples
as
he
swam
that
thinking
after
all
he
might
not
as
yet
be
alarmed
ahab
gave
orders
that
not
an
oar
should
be
used
and
no
man
must
speak
but
in
whispers
so
seated
like
ontario
indians
on
the
gunwales
of
the
boats
we
swiftly
but
silently
paddled
along
the
calm
not
admitting
of
the
noiseless
sails
being
set
presently
as
we
thus
glided
in
chase
the
monster
perpendicularly
flitted
his
tail
forty
feet
into
the
air
and
then
sank
out
of
sight
like
a
tower
swallowed
up
there
go
flukes
was
the
cry
an
announcement
immediately
followed
by
stubbs
producing
his
match
and
igniting
his
pipe
for
now
a
respite
was
granted
after
the
full
interval
of
his
sounding
had
elapsed
the
whale
rose
again
and
being
now
in
advance
of
the
smokers
boat
and
much
nearer
to
it
than
to
any
of
the
others
stubb
counted
upon
the
honor
of
the
capture
it
was
obvious
now
that
the
whale
had
at
length
become
aware
of
his
pursuers
all
silence
of
cautiousness
was
therefore
no
longer
of
use
paddles
were
dropped
and
oars
came
loudly
into
play
and
still
puffing
at
his
pipe
stubb
cheered
on
his
crew
to
the
assault
yes
a
mighty
change
had
come
over
the
fish
all
alive
to
his
jeopardy
he
was
going
head
out
that
part
obliquely
projecting
from
the
mad
yeast
which
he
brewed
start
her
start
her
my
men
dont
hurry
yourselves
take
plenty
of
time
but
start
her
start
her
like
thunder
claps
thats
all
cried
stubb
spluttering
out
the
smoke
as
he
spoke
start
her
now
give
em
the
long
and
strong
stroke
tashtego
start
her
tash
my
boy
start
her
all
but
keep
cool
keep
cool
cucumbers
is
the
word
easy
easy
only
start
her
like
grim
death
and
grinning
devils
and
raise
the
buried
dead
perpendicular
out
of
their
graves

screamed
the
gay
header
in
reply
raising
some
old
war
whoop
to
the
skies
as
every
oarsman
in
the
strained
boat
involuntarily
bounced
forward
with
the
one
tremendous
leading
stroke
which
the
eager
indian
gave
but
his
wild
screams
were
answered
by
others
quite
as
wild
kee
hee
kee
hee
yelled
daggoo
straining
forwards
and
backwards
on
his
seat
like
a
pacing
tiger
in
his
cage
ka
la
koo
loo
howled
queequeg
as
if
smacking
his
lips
over
a
mouthful
of
grenadiers
steak
and
thus
with
oars
and
yells
the
keels
cut
the
sea
meanwhile
stubb
retaining
his
place
in
the
van
still
encouraged
his
men
to
the
onset
all
the
while
puffing
the
smoke
from
his
mouth
like
desperadoes
they
tugged
and
they
strained
till
the
welcome
cry
was
heard
stand
up
tashtego
give
it
to
him
the
harpoon
was
hurled
stern
all
the
oarsmen
backed
water
the
same
moment
something
went
hot
and
hissing
along
every
one
of
their
wrists
it
was
the
magical
line
an
instant
before
stubb
had
swiftly
caught
two
additional
turns
with
it
round
the
loggerhead
whence
by
reason
of
its
increased
rapid
circlings
a
hempen
blue
smoke
now
jetted
up
and
mingled
with
the
steady
fumes
from
his
pipe
as
the
line
passed
round
and
round
the
loggerhead
so
also
just
before
reaching
that
point
it
blisteringly
passed
through
and
through
both
of
stubbs
hands
from
which
the
hand
cloths
or
squares
of
quilted
canvas
sometimes
worn
at
these
times
had
accidentally
dropped
it
was
like
holding
an
enemys
sharp
two
edged
sword
by
the
blade
and
that
enemy
all
the
time
striving
to
wrest
it
out
of
your
clutch
wet
the
line
wet
the
line
cried
stubb
to
the
tub
oarsman
him
seated
by
the
tub
who
snatching
off
his
hat
dashed
the
sea
water
into
it
more
turns
were
taken
so
that
the
line
began
holding
its
place
the
boat
now
flew
through
the
boiling
water
like
a
shark
all
fins
stubb
and
tashtego
here
changed
places
stem
for
stern
a
staggering
business
truly
in
that
rocking
commotion
from
the
vibrating
line
extending
the
entire
length
of
the
upper
part
of
the
boat
and
from
its
now
being
more
tight
than
a
harpstring
you
would
have
thought
the
craft
had
two
keels
one
cleaving
the
water
the
other
the
air
as
the
boat
churned
on
through
both
opposing
elements
at
once
a
continual
cascade
played
at
the
bows
a
ceaseless
whirling
eddy
in
her
wake
and
at
the
slightest
motion
from
within
even
but
of
a
little
finger
the
vibrating
cracking
craft
canted
over
her
spasmodic
gunwale
into
the
sea
thus
they
rushed
each
man
with
might
and
main
clinging
to
his
seat
to
prevent
being
tossed
to
the
foam
and
the
tall
form
of
tashtego
at
the
steering
oar
crouching
almost
double
in
order
to
bring
down
his
centre
of
gravity
whole
atlantics
and
pacifics
seemed
passed
as
they
shot
on
their
way
till
at
length
the
whale
somewhat
slackened
his
flight
haul
in
haul
in
cried
stubb
to
the
bowsman
and
facing
round
towards
the
whale
all
hands
began
pulling
the
boat
up
to
him
while
yet
the
boat
was
being
towed
on
soon
ranging
up
by
his
flank
stubb
firmly
planting
his
knee
in
the
clumsy
cleat
darted
dart
after
dart
into
the
flying
fish
at
the
word
of
command
the
boat
alternately
sterning
out
of
the
way
of
the
whales
horrible
wallow
and
then
ranging
up
for
another
fling
the
red
tide
now
poured
from
all
sides
of
the
monster
like
brooks
down
a
hill
his
tormented
body
rolled
not
in
brine
but
in
blood
which
bubbled
and
seethed
for
furlongs
behind
in
their
wake
the
slanting
sun
playing
upon
this
crimson
pond
in
the
sea
sent
back
its
reflection
into
every
face
so
that
they
all
glowed
to
each
other
like
red
men
and
all
the
while
jet
after
jet
of
white
smoke
was
agonizingly
shot
from
the
spiracle
of
the
whale
and
vehement
puff
after
puff
from
the
mouth
of
the
excited
headsman
as
at
every
dart
hauling
in
upon
his
crooked
lance
by
the
line
attached
to
it
stubb
straightened
it
again
and
again
by
a
few
rapid
blows
against
the
gunwale
then
again
and
again
sent
it
into
the
whale
pull
up
pull
up
he
now
cried
to
the
bowsman
as
the
waning
whale
relaxed
in
his
wrath
pull
up
close
to
and
the
boat
ranged
along
the
fishs
flank
when
reaching
far
over
the
bow
stubb
slowly
churned
his
long
sharp
lance
into
the
fish
and
kept
it
there
carefully
churning
and
churning
as
if
cautiously
seeking
to
feel
after
some
gold
watch
that
the
whale
might
have
swallowed
and
which
he
was
fearful
of
breaking
ere
he
could
hook
it
out
but
that
gold
watch
he
sought
was
the
innermost
life
of
the
fish
and
now
it
is
struck
for
starting
from
his
trance
into
that
unspeakable
thing
called
his
flurry
the
monster
horribly
wallowed
in
his
blood
over
wrapped
himself
in
impenetrable
mad
boiling
spray
so
that
the
imperilled
craft
instantly
dropping
astern
had
much
ado
blindly
to
struggle
out
from
that
phrensied
twilight
into
the
clear
air
of
the
day
and
now
abating
in
his
flurry
the
whale
once
more
rolled
out
into
view
surging
from
side
to
side
spasmodically
dilating
and
contracting
his
spout
hole
with
sharp
cracking
agonized
respirations
at
last
gush
after
gush
of
clotted
red
gore
as
if
it
had
been
the
purple
lees
of
red
wine
shot
into
the
frighted
air
and
falling
back
again
ran
dripping
down
his
motionless
flanks
into
the
sea
his
heart
had
burst
hes
dead
mr
stubb
said
daggoo
yes
both
pipes
smoked
out
and
withdrawing
his
own
from
his
mouth
stubb
scattered
the
dead
ashes
over
the
water
and
for
a
moment
stood
thoughtfully
eyeing
the
vast
corpse
he
had
made
it
will
be
seen
in
some
other
place
of
what
a
very
light
substance
the
entire
interior
of
the
sperm
whales
enormous
head
consists
though
apparently
the
most
massive
it
is
by
far
the
most
buoyant
part
about
him
so
that
with
ease
he
elevates
it
in
the
air
and
invariably
does
so
when
going
at
his
utmost
speed
besides
such
is
the
breadth
of
the
upper
part
of
the
front
of
his
head
and
such
the
tapering
cut
water
formation
of
the
lower
part
that
by
obliquely
elevating
his
head
he
thereby
may
be
said
to
transform
himself
from
a
bluff
bowed
sluggish
galliot
into
a
sharp
pointed
new
york
pilot
boat
partly
to
show
the
indispensableness
of
this
act
it
may
here
be
stated
that
in
the
old
dutch
fishery
a
mop
was
used
to
dash
the
running
line
with
water
in
many
other
ships
a
wooden
piggin
or
bailer
is
set
apart
for
that
purpose
your
hat
however
is
the
most
convenient
a
word
concerning
an
incident
in
the
last
chapter
according
to
the
invariable
usage
of
the
fishery
the
whale
boat
pushes
off
from
the
ship
with
the
headsman
or
whale
killer
as
temporary
steersman
and
the
harpooneer
or
whale
fastener
pulling
the
foremost
oar
the
one
known
as
the
harpooneer
oar
now
it
needs
a
strong
nervous
arm
to
strike
the
first
iron
into
the
fish
for
often
in
what
is
called
a
long
dart
the
heavy
implement
has
to
be
flung
to
the
distance
of
twenty
or
thirty
feet
but
however
prolonged
and
exhausting
the
chase
the
harpooneer
is
expected
to
pull
his
oar
meanwhile
to
the
uttermost
indeed
he
is
expected
to
set
an
example
of
superhuman
activity
to
the
rest
not
only
by
incredible
rowing
but
by
repeated
loud
and
intrepid
exclamations
and
what
it
is
to
keep
shouting
at
the
top
of
ones
compass
while
all
the
other
muscles
are
strained
and
half
started
what
that
is
none
know
but
those
who
have
tried
it
for
one
i
cannot
bawl
very
heartily
and
work
very
recklessly
at
one
and
the
same
time
in
this
straining
bawling
state
then
with
his
back
to
the
fish
all
at
once
the
exhausted
harpooneer
hears
the
exciting
cry
stand
up
and
give
it
to
him
he
now
has
to
drop
and
secure
his
oar
turn
round
on
his
centre
half
way
seize
his
harpoon
from
the
crotch
and
with
what
little
strength
may
remain
he
essays
to
pitch
it
somehow
into
the
whale
no
wonder
taking
the
whole
fleet
of
whalemen
in
a
body
that
out
of
fifty
fair
chances
for
a
dart
not
five
are
successful
no
wonder
that
so
many
hapless
harpooneers
are
madly
cursed
and
disrated
no
wonder
that
some
of
them
actually
burst
their
blood
vessels
in
the
boat
no
wonder
that
some
sperm
whalemen
are
absent
four
years
with
four
barrels
no
wonder
that
to
many
ship
owners
whaling
is
but
a
losing
concern
for
it
is
the
harpooneer
that
makes
the
voyage
and
if
you
take
the
breath
out
of
his
body
how
can
you
expect
to
find
it
there
when
most
wanted
again
if
the
dart
be
successful
then
at
the
second
critical
instant
that
is
when
the
whale
starts
to
run
the
boat
header
and
harpooneer
likewise
start
to
running
fore
and
aft
to
the
imminent
jeopardy
of
themselves
and
every
one
else
it
is
then
they
change
places
and
the
headsman
the
chief
officer
of
the
little
craft
takes
his
proper
station
in
the
bows
of
the
boat
now
i
care
not
who
maintains
the
contrary
but
all
this
is
both
foolish
and
unnecessary
the
headsman
should
stay
in
the
bows
from
first
to
last
he
should
both
dart
the
harpoon
and
the
lance
and
no
rowing
whatever
should
be
expected
of
him
except
under
circumstances
obvious
to
any
fisherman
i
know
that
this
would
sometimes
involve
a
slight
loss
of
speed
in
the
chase
but
long
experience
in
various
whalemen
of
more
than
one
nation
has
convinced
me
that
in
the
vast
majority
of
failures
in
the
fishery
it
has
not
by
any
means
been
so
much
the
speed
of
the
whale
as
the
before
described
exhaustion
of
the
harpooneer
that
has
caused
them
to
insure
the
greatest
efficiency
in
the
dart
the
harpooneers
of
this
world
must
start
to
their
feet
from
out
of
idleness
and
not
from
out
of
toil
out
of
the
trunk
the
branches
grow
out
of
them
the
twigs
so
in
productive
subjects
grow
the
chapters
the
crotch
alluded
to
on
a
previous
page
deserves
independent
mention
it
is
a
notched
stick
of
a
peculiar
form
some
two
feet
in
length
which
is
perpendicularly
inserted
into
the
starboard
gunwale
near
the
bow
for
the
purpose
of
furnishing
a
rest
for
the
wooden
extremity
of
the
harpoon
whose
other
naked
barbed
end
slopingly
projects
from
the
prow
thereby
the
weapon
is
instantly
at
hand
to
its
hurler
who
snatches
it
up
as
readily
from
its
rest
as
a
backwoodsman
swings
his
rifle
from
the
wall
it
is
customary
to
have
two
harpoons
reposing
in
the
crotch
respectively
called
the
first
and
second
irons
but
these
two
harpoons
each
by
its
own
cord
are
both
connected
with
the
line
the
object
being
this
to
dart
them
both
if
possible
one
instantly
after
the
other
into
the
same
whale
so
that
if
in
the
coming
drag
one
should
draw
out
the
other
may
still
retain
a
hold
it
is
a
doubling
of
the
chances
but
it
very
often
happens
that
owing
to
the
instantaneous
violent
convulsive
running
of
the
whale
upon
receiving
the
first
iron
it
becomes
impossible
for
the
harpooneer
however
lightning
like
in
his
movements
to
pitch
the
second
iron
into
him
nevertheless
as
the
second
iron
is
already
connected
with
the
line
and
the
line
is
running
hence
that
weapon
must
at
all
events
be
anticipatingly
tossed
out
of
the
boat
somehow
and
somewhere
else
the
most
terrible
jeopardy
would
involve
all
hands
tumbled
into
the
water
it
accordingly
is
in
such
cases
the
spare
coils
of
box
line
mentioned
in
a
preceding
chapter
making
this
feat
in
most
instances
prudently
practicable
but
this
critical
act
is
not
always
unattended
with
the
saddest
and
most
fatal
casualties
furthermore
you
must
know
that
when
the
second
iron
is
thrown
overboard
it
thenceforth
becomes
a
dangling
sharp
edged
terror
skittishly
curvetting
about
both
boat
and
whale
entangling
the
lines
or
cutting
them
and
making
a
prodigious
sensation
in
all
directions
nor
in
general
is
it
possible
to
secure
it
again
until
the
whale
is
fairly
captured
and
a
corpse
consider
now
how
it
must
be
in
the
case
of
four
boats
all
engaging
one
unusually
strong
active
and
knowing
whale
when
owing
to
these
qualities
in
him
as
well
as
to
the
thousand
concurring
accidents
of
such
an
audacious
enterprise
eight
or
ten
loose
second
irons
may
be
simultaneously
dangling
about
him
for
of
course
each
boat
is
supplied
with
several
harpoons
to
bend
on
to
the
line
should
the
first
one
be
ineffectually
darted
without
recovery
all
these
particulars
are
faithfully
narrated
here
as
they
will
not
fail
to
elucidate
several
most
important
however
intricate
passages
in
scenes
hereafter
to
be
painted
stubbs
whale
had
been
killed
some
distance
from
the
ship
it
was
a
calm
so
forming
a
tandem
of
three
boats
we
commenced
the
slow
business
of
towing
the
trophy
to
the
pequod
and
now
as
we
eighteen
men
with
our
thirty
six
arms
and
one
hundred
and
eighty
thumbs
and
fingers
slowly
toiled
hour
after
hour
upon
that
inert
sluggish
corpse
in
the
sea
and
it
seemed
hardly
to
budge
at
all
except
at
long
intervals
good
evidence
was
hereby
furnished
of
the
enormousness
of
the
mass
we
moved
for
upon
the
great
canal
of
hang
ho
or
whatever
they
call
it
in
china
four
or
five
laborers
on
the
foot
path
will
draw
a
bulky
freighted
junk
at
the
rate
of
a
mile
an
hour
but
this
grand
argosy
we
towed
heavily
forged
along
as
if
laden
with
pig
lead
in
bulk
darkness
came
on
but
three
lights
up
and
down
in
the
pequods
main
rigging
dimly
guided
our
way
till
drawing
nearer
we
saw
ahab
dropping
one
of
several
more
lanterns
over
the
bulwarks
vacantly
eyeing
the
heaving
whale
for
a
moment
he
issued
the
usual
orders
for
securing
it
for
the
night
and
then
handing
his
lantern
to
a
seaman
went
his
way
into
the
cabin
and
did
not
come
forward
again
until
morning
though
in
overseeing
the
pursuit
of
this
whale
captain
ahab
had
evinced
his
customary
activity
to
call
it
so
yet
now
that
the
creature
was
dead
some
vague
dissatisfaction
or
impatience
or
despair
seemed
working
in
him
as
if
the
sight
of
that
dead
body
reminded
him
that
moby
dick
was
yet
to
be
slain
and
though
a
thousand
other
whales
were
brought
to
his
ship
all
that
would
not
one
jot
advance
his
grand
monomaniac
object
very
soon
you
would
have
thought
from
the
sound
on
the
pequods
decks
that
all
hands
were
preparing
to
cast
anchor
in
the
deep
for
heavy
chains
are
being
dragged
along
the
deck
and
thrust
rattling
out
of
the
port
holes
but
by
those
clanking
links
the
vast
corpse
itself
not
the
ship
is
to
be
moored
tied
by
the
head
to
the
stern
and
by
the
tail
to
the
bows
the
whale
now
lies
with
its
black
hull
close
to
the
vessels
and
seen
through
the
darkness
of
the
night
which
obscured
the
spars
and
rigging
aloft
the
two
ship
and
whale
seemed
yoked
together
like
colossal
bullocks
whereof
one
reclines
while
the
other
remains
standing
if
moody
ahab
was
now
all
quiescence
at
least
so
far
as
could
be
known
on
deck
stubb
his
second
mate
flushed
with
conquest
betrayed
an
unusual
but
still
good
natured
excitement
such
an
unwonted
bustle
was
he
in
that
the
staid
starbuck
his
official
superior
quietly
resigned
to
him
for
the
time
the
sole
management
of
affairs
one
small
helping
cause
of
all
this
liveliness
in
stubb
was
soon
made
strangely
manifest
stubb
was
a
high
liver
he
was
somewhat
intemperately
fond
of
the
whale
as
a
flavorish
thing
to
his
palate
a
steak
a
steak
ere
i
sleep
you
daggoo
overboard
you
go
and
cut
me
one
from
his
small
here
be
it
known
that
though
these
wild
fishermen
do
not
as
a
general
thing
and
according
to
the
great
military
maxim
make
the
enemy
defray
the
current
expenses
of
the
war
at
least
before
realizing
the
proceeds
of
the
voyage
yet
now
and
then
you
find
some
of
these
nantucketers
who
have
a
genuine
relish
for
that
particular
part
of
the
sperm
whale
designated
by
stubb
comprising
the
tapering
extremity
of
the
body
about
midnight
that
steak
was
cut
and
cooked
and
lighted
by
two
lanterns
of
sperm
oil
stubb
stoutly
stood
up
to
his
spermaceti
supper
at
the
capstan
head
as
if
that
capstan
were
a
sideboard
nor
was
stubb
the
only
banqueter
on
whales
flesh
that
night
mingling
their
mumblings
with
his
own
mastications
thousands
on
thousands
of
sharks
swarming
round
the
dead
leviathan
smackingly
feasted
on
its
fatness
the
few
sleepers
below
in
their
bunks
were
often
startled
by
the
sharp
slapping
of
their
tails
against
the
hull
within
a
few
inches
of
the
sleepers
hearts
peering
over
the
side
you
could
just
see
them
as
before
you
heard
them
wallowing
in
the
sullen
black
waters
and
turning
over
on
their
backs
as
they
scooped
out
huge
globular
pieces
of
the
whale
of
the
bigness
of
a
human
head
this
particular
feat
of
the
shark
seems
all
but
miraculous
how
at
such
an
apparently
unassailable
surface
they
contrive
to
gouge
out
such
symmetrical
mouthfuls
remains
a
part
of
the
universal
problem
of
all
things
the
mark
they
thus
leave
on
the
whale
may
best
be
likened
to
the
hollow
made
by
a
carpenter
in
countersinking
for
a
screw
though
amid
all
the
smoking
horror
and
diabolism
of
a
sea
fight
sharks
will
be
seen
longingly
gazing
up
to
the
ships
decks
like
hungry
dogs
round
a
table
where
red
meat
is
being
carved
ready
to
bolt
down
every
killed
man
that
is
tossed
to
them
and
though
while
the
valiant
butchers
over
the
deck
table
are
thus
cannibally
carving
each
others
live
meat
with
carving
knives
all
gilded
and
tasselled
the
sharks
also
with
their
jewel
hilted
mouths
are
quarrelsomely
carving
away
under
the
table
at
the
dead
meat
and
though
were
you
to
turn
the
whole
affair
upside
down
it
would
still
be
pretty
much
the
same
thing
that
is
to
say
a
shocking
sharkish
business
enough
for
all
parties
and
though
sharks
also
are
the
invariable
outriders
of
all
slave
ships
crossing
the
atlantic
systematically
trotting
alongside
to
be
handy
in
case
a
parcel
is
to
be
carried
anywhere
or
a
dead
slave
to
be
decently
buried
and
though
one
or
two
other
like
instances
might
be
set
down
touching
the
set
terms
places
and
occasions
when
sharks
do
most
socially
congregate
and
most
hilariously
feast
yet
is
there
no
conceivable
time
or
occasion
when
you
will
find
them
in
such
countless
numbers
and
in
gayer
or
more
jovial
spirits
than
around
a
dead
sperm
whale
moored
by
night
to
a
whale
ship
at
sea
if
you
have
never
seen
that
sight
then
suspend
your
decision
about
the
propriety
of
devil
worship
and
the
expediency
of
conciliating
the
devil
but
as
yet
stubb
heeded
not
the
mumblings
of
the
banquet
that
was
going
on
so
nigh
him
no
more
than
the
sharks
heeded
the
smacking
of
his
own
epicurean
lips
cook
cook
wheres
that
old
fleece
he
cried
at
length
widening
his
legs
still
further
as
if
to
form
a
more
secure
base
for
his
supper
and
at
the
same
time
darting
his
fork
into
the
dish
as
if
stabbing
with
his
lance
cook
you
cook
sail
this
way
cook
the
old
black
not
in
any
very
high
glee
at
having
been
previously
routed
from
his
warm
hammock
at
a
most
unseasonable
hour
came
shambling
along
from
his
galley
for
like
many
old
blacks
there
was
something
the
matter
with
his
knee
pans
which
he
did
not
keep
well
scoured
like
his
other
pans
this
old
fleece
as
they
called
him
came
shuffling
and
limping
along
assisting
his
step
with
his
tongs
which
after
a
clumsy
fashion
were
made
of
straightened
iron
hoops
this
old
ebony
floundered
along
and
in
obedience
to
the
word
of
command
came
to
a
dead
stop
on
the
opposite
side
of
stubbs
sideboard
when
with
both
hands
folded
before
him
and
resting
on
his
two
legged
cane
he
bowed
his
arched
back
still
further
over
at
the
same
time
sideways
inclining
his
head
so
as
to
bring
his
best
ear
into
play
cook
said
stubb
rapidly
lifting
a
rather
reddish
morsel
to
his
mouth

think

steak

rather
overdone

been
beating

steak

sullenly
taking
the
offered
lantern
old
fleece
limped
across
the
deck
to
the
bulwarks
and
then
with
one
hand
dropping
his
light
low
over
the
sea
so
as
to
get
a
good
view
of
his
congregation
with
the
other
hand
he
solemnly
flourished
his
tongs
and
leaning
far
over
the
side
in
a
mumbling
voice
began
addressing
the
sharks
while
stubb
softly
crawling
behind
overheard
all
that

where

there
over
against

and
pay
particular
attention
all
dention
said
fleece
again
stooping
over
upon
his
tongs
in
the
desired
position
well
said
stubb
helping
himself
freely
meanwhile
i
shall
now
go
back
to
the
subject
of
this
steak
in
the
first
place
how
old
are
you

what
dat

wid
de
teak
said
the
old
black
testily
silence
how
old

he
gloomily
muttered
and
have
you
lived
in
this
world
hard
upon
one
hundred
years
cook
and
dont
know
yet
how
to
cook
a
whale
steak
rapidly
bolting
another
mouthful
at
the
last
word
so
that
that
morsel
seemed
a
continuation
of
the
question
where
were
you
born
cook
hind
de
hatchway
in
ferry
boat
goin
ober
de
roanoke
born
in
a

he
cried
sharply
no

didnt
cook
but
ill
tell
you
what
im
coming
to
cook
you
must
go
home
and
be
born
over
again
you
dont
know
how
to
cook
a
whale
steak
yet
bress
my
soul
if
i
cook

he
growled
angrily
turning
round
to
depart
come
back
cook
here
hand
me
those
tongs
now
take
that
bit
of
steak
there
and
tell
me
if

as
it
should
be
take
it
i
say
holding
the
tongs
towards
him
take
it
and
taste
it
faintly
smacking
his
withered
lips
over
it
for
a
moment
the
old
negro
muttered
best
cooked
teak
i
eber
taste
joosy
berry
joosy
cook
said
stubb
squaring
himself
once
more
do
you
belong
to
the
church
passed
one
once
in
cape
down
said
the
old
man
sullenly
and
you
have
once
in
your
life
passed
a
holy
church
in
cape
town
where
you
doubtless
overheard
a
holy
parson
addressing
his
hearers
as
his
beloved
fellow
creatures
have
you
cook
and
yet
you
come
here
and
tell
me
such
a
dreadful
lie
as
you
did
just
now
eh
said
stubb
where
do
you
expect
to
go
to
cook
go
to
bed
berry
soon
he
mumbled
half
turning
as
he
spoke
avast
heave
to
i
mean
when
you
die
cook
its
an
awful
question
now
whats
your
answer
when
dis
old
brack
man
dies
said
the
negro
slowly
changing
his
whole
air
and
demeanor
he
hisself
wont
go
nowhere
but
some
bressed
angel
will
come
and
fetch
him
fetch
him
how
in
a
coach
and
four
as
they
fetched
elijah
and
fetch
him
where
up
dere
said
fleece
holding
his
tongs
straight
over
his
head
and
keeping
it
there
very
solemnly
so
then
you
expect
to
go
up
into
our
main
top
do
you
cook
when
you
are
dead
but
dont
you
know
the
higher
you
climb
the
colder
it
gets
main
top
eh
didnt
say
dat
tall
said
fleece
again
in
the
sulks
you
said
up
there
didnt
you
and
now
look
yourself
and
see
where
your
tongs
are
pointing
but
perhaps
you
expect
to
get
into
heaven
by
crawling
through
the
lubbers
hole
cook
but
no
no
cook
you
dont
get
there
except
you
go
the
regular
way
round
by
the
rigging
its
a
ticklish
business
but
must
be
done
or
else
its
no
go
but
none
of
us
are
in
heaven
yet
drop
your
tongs
cook
and
hear
my
orders
do
ye
hear
hold
your
hat
in
one
hand
and
clap
tother
atop
of
your
heart
when
im
giving
my
orders
cook
what
that
your
heart
there
thats
your
gizzard
aloft
aloft
thats
it
now
you
have
it
hold
it
there
now
and
pay
attention
all
dention
said
the
old
black
with
both
hands
placed
as
desired
vainly
wriggling
his
grizzled
head
as
if
to
get
both
ears
in
front
at
one
and
the
same
time
well
then
cook
you
see
this
whale
steak
of
yours
was
so
very
bad
that
i
have
put
it
out
of
sight
as
soon
as
possible
you
see
that
dont
you
well
for
the
future
when
you
cook
another
whale
steak
for
my
private
table
here
the
capstan
ill
tell
you
what
to
do
so
as
not
to
spoil
it
by
overdoing
hold
the
steak
in
one
hand
and
show
a
live
coal
to
it
with
the
other
that
done
dish
it
dye
hear
and
now
to
morrow
cook
when
we
are
cutting
in
the
fish
be
sure
you
stand
by
to
get
the
tips
of
his
fins
have
them
put
in
pickle
as
for
the
ends
of
the
flukes
have
them
soused
cook
there
now
ye
may
go
but
fleece
had
hardly
got
three
paces
off
when
he
was
recalled
cook
give
me
cutlets
for
supper
to
morrow
night
in
the
mid
watch
dye
hear
away
you
sail
then
halloa
stop
make
a
bow
before
you
go
avast
heaving
again
whale
balls
for
breakfast
dont
forget
wish
by
gor
whale
eat
him
stead
of
him
eat
whale
im
bressed
if
he
aint
more
of
shark
dan
massa
shark
hisself
muttered
the
old
man
limping
away
with
which
sage
ejaculation
he
went
to
his
hammock
a
little
item
may
as
well
be
related
here
the
strongest
and
most
reliable
hold
which
the
ship
has
upon
the
whale
when
moored
alongside
is
by
the
flukes
or
tail
and
as
from
its
greater
density
that
part
is
relatively
heavier
than
any
other
excepting
the
side
fins
its
flexibility
even
in
death
causes
it
to
sink
low
beneath
the
surface
so
that
with
the
hand
you
cannot
get
at
it
from
the
boat
in
order
to
put
the
chain
round
it
but
this
difficulty
is
ingeniously
overcome
a
small
strong
line
is
prepared
with
a
wooden
float
at
its
outer
end
and
a
weight
in
its
middle
while
the
other
end
is
secured
to
the
ship
by
adroit
management
the
wooden
float
is
to
rise
on
the
other
side
of
the
mass
so
that
now
having
girdled
the
made
whale
the
chain
is
readily
made
to
follow
suit
and
being
slipped
along
the
body
is
at
last
locked
fast
round
the
smallest
part
of
the
tail
at
the
point
of
junction
with
its
broad
flukes
or
lobes
that
mortal
man
should
feed
upon
the
creature
that
feeds
his
lamp
and
like
stubb
eat
him
by
his
own
light
as
you
may
say
this
seems
so
outlandish
a
thing
that
one
must
needs
go
a
little
into
the
history
and
philosophy
of
it
it
is
upon
record
that
three
centuries
ago
the
tongue
of
the
right
whale
was
esteemed
a
great
delicacy
in
france
and
commanded
large
prices
there
also
that
in
henry
viiiths
time
a
certain
cook
of
the
court
obtained
a
handsome
reward
for
inventing
an
admirable
sauce
to
be
eaten
with
barbacued
porpoises
which
you
remember
are
a
species
of
whale
porpoises
indeed
are
to
this
day
considered
fine
eating
the
meat
is
made
into
balls
about
the
size
of
billiard
balls
and
being
well
seasoned
and
spiced
might
be
taken
for
turtle
balls
or
veal
balls
the
old
monks
of
dunfermline
were
very
fond
of
them
they
had
a
great
porpoise
grant
from
the
crown
the
fact
is
that
among
his
hunters
at
least
the
whale
would
by
all
hands
be
considered
a
noble
dish
were
there
not
so
much
of
him
but
when
you
come
to
sit
down
before
a
meat
pie
nearly
one
hundred
feet
long
it
takes
away
your
appetite
only
the
most
unprejudiced
of
men
like
stubb
nowadays
partake
of
cooked
whales
but
the
esquimaux
are
not
so
fastidious
we
all
know
how
they
live
upon
whales
and
have
rare
old
vintages
of
prime
old
train
oil
zogranda
one
of
their
most
famous
doctors
recommends
strips
of
blubber
for
infants
as
being
exceedingly
juicy
and
nourishing
and
this
reminds
me
that
certain
englishmen
who
long
ago
were
accidentally
left
in
greenland
by
a
whaling
vessel
that
these
men
actually
lived
for
several
months
on
the
mouldy
scraps
of
whales
which
had
been
left
ashore
after
trying
out
the
blubber
among
the
dutch
whalemen
these
scraps
are
called
fritters
which
indeed
they
greatly
resemble
being
brown
and
crisp
and
smelling
something
like
old
amsterdam
housewives
dough
nuts
or
oly
cooks
when
fresh
they
have
such
an
eatable
look
that
the
most
self
denying
stranger
can
hardly
keep
his
hands
off
but
what
further
depreciates
the
whale
as
a
civilized
dish
is
his
exceeding
richness
he
is
the
great
prize
ox
of
the
sea
too
fat
to
be
delicately
good
look
at
his
hump
which
would
be
as
fine
eating
as
the
buffalos
which
is
esteemed
a
rare
dish
were
it
not
such
a
solid
pyramid
of
fat
but
the
spermaceti
itself
how
bland
and
creamy
that
is
like
the
transparent
half
jellied
white
meat
of
a
cocoanut
in
the
third
month
of
its
growth
yet
far
too
rich
to
supply
a
substitute
for
butter
nevertheless
many
whalemen
have
a
method
of
absorbing
it
into
some
other
substance
and
then
partaking
of
it
in
the
long
try
watches
of
the
night
it
is
a
common
thing
for
the
seamen
to
dip
their
ship
biscuit
into
the
huge
oil
pots
and
let
them
fry
there
awhile
many
a
good
supper
have
i
thus
made
in
the
case
of
a
small
sperm
whale
the
brains
are
accounted
a
fine
dish
the
casket
of
the
skull
is
broken
into
with
an
axe
and
the
two
plump
whitish
lobes
being
withdrawn
precisely
resembling
two
large
puddings
they
are
then
mixed
with
flour
and
cooked
into
a
most
delectable
mess
in
flavor
somewhat
resembling
calves
head
which
is
quite
a
dish
among
some
epicures
and
every
one
knows
that
some
young
bucks
among
the
epicures
by
continually
dining
upon
calves
brains
by
and
by
get
to
have
a
little
brains
of
their
own
so
as
to
be
able
to
tell
a
calfs
head
from
their
own
heads
which
indeed
requires
uncommon
discrimination
and
that
is
the
reason
why
a
young
buck
with
an
intelligent
looking
calfs
head
before
him
is
somehow
one
of
the
saddest
sights
you
can
see
the
head
looks
a
sort
of
reproachfully
at
him
with
an
et
tu
brute
expression
it
is
not
perhaps
entirely
because
the
whale
is
so
excessively
unctuous
that
landsmen
seem
to
regard
the
eating
of
him
with
abhorrence
that
appears
to
result
in
some
way
from
the
consideration
before
mentioned
i
e
that
a
man
should
eat
a
newly
murdered
thing
of
the
sea
and
eat
it
too
by
its
own
light
but
no
doubt
the
first
man
that
ever
murdered
an
ox
was
regarded
as
a
murderer
perhaps
he
was
hung
and
if
he
had
been
put
on
his
trial
by
oxen
he
certainly
would
have
been
and
he
certainly
deserved
it
if
any
murderer
does
go
to
the
meat
market
of
a
saturday
night
and
see
the
crowds
of
live
bipeds
staring
up
at
the
long
rows
of
dead
quadrupeds
does
not
that
sight
take
a
tooth
out
of
the
cannibals
jaw
cannibals
who
is
not
a
cannibal
i
tell
you
it
will
be
more
tolerable
for
the
fejee
that
salted
down
a
lean
missionary
in
his
cellar
against
a
coming
famine
it
will
be
more
tolerable
for
that
provident
fejee
i
say
in
the
day
of
judgment
than
for
thee
civilized
and
enlightened
gourmand
who
nailest
geese
to
the
ground
and
feastest
on
their
bloated
livers
in
thy
pate
de
foie
gras
but
stubb
he
eats
the
whale
by
its
own
light
does
he
and
that
is
adding
insult
to
injury
is
it
look
at
your
knife
handle
there
my
civilized
and
enlightened
gourmand
dining
off
that
roast
beef
what
is
that
handle
made
of
what
but
the
bones
of
the
brother
of
the
very
ox
you
are
eating
and
what
do
you
pick
your
teeth
with
after
devouring
that
fat
goose
with
a
feather
of
the
same
fowl
and
with
what
quill
did
the
secretary
of
the
society
for
the
suppression
of
cruelty
to
ganders
formally
indite
his
circulars
it
is
only
within
the
last
month
or
two
that
that
society
passed
a
resolution
to
patronize
nothing
but
steel
pens
when
in
the
southern
fishery
a
captured
sperm
whale
after
long
and
weary
toil
is
brought
alongside
late
at
night
it
is
not
as
a
general
thing
at
least
customary
to
proceed
at
once
to
the
business
of
cutting
him
in
for
that
business
is
an
exceedingly
laborious
one
is
not
very
soon
completed
and
requires
all
hands
to
set
about
it
therefore
the
common
usage
is
to
take
in
all
sail
lash
the
helm
alee
and
then
send
every
one
below
to
his
hammock
till
daylight
with
the
reservation
that
until
that
time
anchor
watches
shall
be
kept
that
is
two
and
two
for
an
hour
each
couple
the
crew
in
rotation
shall
mount
the
deck
to
see
that
all
goes
well
but
sometimes
especially
upon
the
line
in
the
pacific
this
plan
will
not
answer
at
all
because
such
incalculable
hosts
of
sharks
gather
round
the
moored
carcase
that
were
he
left
so
for
six
hours
say
on
a
stretch
little
more
than
the
skeleton
would
be
visible
by
morning
in
most
other
parts
of
the
ocean
however
where
these
fish
do
not
so
largely
abound
their
wondrous
voracity
can
be
at
times
considerably
diminished
by
vigorously
stirring
them
up
with
sharp
whaling
spades
a
procedure
notwithstanding
which
in
some
instances
only
seems
to
tickle
them
into
still
greater
activity
but
it
was
not
thus
in
the
present
case
with
the
pequods
sharks
though
to
be
sure
any
man
unaccustomed
to
such
sights
to
have
looked
over
her
side
that
night
would
have
almost
thought
the
whole
round
sea
was
one
huge
cheese
and
those
sharks
the
maggots
in
it
nevertheless
upon
stubb
setting
the
anchor
watch
after
his
supper
was
concluded
and
when
accordingly
queequeg
and
a
forecastle
seaman
came
on
deck
no
small
excitement
was
created
among
the
sharks
for
immediately
suspending
the
cutting
stages
over
the
side
and
lowering
three
lanterns
so
that
they
cast
long
gleams
of
light
over
the
turbid
sea
these
two
mariners
darting
their
long
whaling
spades
kept
up
an
incessant
murdering
of
the
sharks
by
striking
the
keen
steel
deep
into
their
skulls
seemingly
their
only
vital
part
but
in
the
foamy
confusion
of
their
mixed
and
struggling
hosts
the
marksmen
could
not
always
hit
their
mark
and
this
brought
about
new
revelations
of
the
incredible
ferocity
of
the
foe
they
viciously
snapped
not
only
at
each
others
disembowelments
but
like
flexible
bows
bent
round
and
bit
their
own
till
those
entrails
seemed
swallowed
over
and
over
again
by
the
same
mouth
to
be
oppositely
voided
by
the
gaping
wound
nor
was
this
all
it
was
unsafe
to
meddle
with
the
corpses
and
ghosts
of
these
creatures
a
sort
of
generic
or
pantheistic
vitality
seemed
to
lurk
in
their
very
joints
and
bones
after
what
might
be
called
the
individual
life
had
departed
killed
and
hoisted
on
deck
for
the
sake
of
his
skin
one
of
these
sharks
almost
took
poor
queequegs
hand
off
when
he
tried
to
shut
down
the
dead
lid
of
his
murderous
jaw
queequeg
no
care
what
god
made
him
shark
said
the
savage
agonizingly
lifting
his
hand
up
and
down
wedder
fejee
god
or
nantucket
god
but
de
god
wat
made
shark
must
be
one
dam
ingin
the
whaling
spade
used
for
cutting
in
is
made
of
the
very
best
steel
is
about
the
bigness
of
a
mans
spread
hand
and
in
general
shape
corresponds
to
the
garden
implement
after
which
it
is
named
only
its
sides
are
perfectly
flat
and
its
upper
end
considerably
narrower
than
the
lower
this
weapon
is
always
kept
as
sharp
as
possible
and
when
being
used
is
occasionally
honed
just
like
a
razor
in
its
socket
a
stiff
pole
from
twenty
to
thirty
feet
long
is
inserted
for
a
handle
it
was
a
saturday
night
and
such
a
sabbath
as
followed
ex
officio
professors
of
sabbath
breaking
are
all
whalemen
the
ivory
pequod
was
turned
into
what
seemed
a
shamble
every
sailor
a
butcher
you
would
have
thought
we
were
offering
up
ten
thousand
red
oxen
to
the
sea
gods
in
the
first
place
the
enormous
cutting
tackles
among
other
ponderous
things
comprising
a
cluster
of
blocks
generally
painted
green
and
which
no
single
man
can
possibly
lift
this
vast
bunch
of
grapes
was
swayed
up
to
the
main
top
and
firmly
lashed
to
the
lower
mast
head
the
strongest
point
anywhere
above
a
ships
deck
the
end
of
the
hawser
like
rope
winding
through
these
intricacies
was
then
conducted
to
the
windlass
and
the
huge
lower
block
of
the
tackles
was
swung
over
the
whale
to
this
block
the
great
blubber
hook
weighing
some
one
hundred
pounds
was
attached
and
now
suspended
in
stages
over
the
side
starbuck
and
stubb
the
mates
armed
with
their
long
spades
began
cutting
a
hole
in
the
body
for
the
insertion
of
the
hook
just
above
the
nearest
of
the
two
side
fins
this
done
a
broad
semicircular
line
is
cut
round
the
hole
the
hook
is
inserted
and
the
main
body
of
the
crew
striking
up
a
wild
chorus
now
commence
heaving
in
one
dense
crowd
at
the
windlass
when
instantly
the
entire
ship
careens
over
on
her
side
every
bolt
in
her
starts
like
the
nail
heads
of
an
old
house
in
frosty
weather
she
trembles
quivers
and
nods
her
frighted
mast
heads
to
the
sky
more
and
more
she
leans
over
to
the
whale
while
every
gasping
heave
of
the
windlass
is
answered
by
a
helping
heave
from
the
billows
till
at
last
a
swift
startling
snap
is
heard
with
a
great
swash
the
ship
rolls
upwards
and
backwards
from
the
whale
and
the
triumphant
tackle
rises
into
sight
dragging
after
it
the
disengaged
semicircular
end
of
the
first
strip
of
blubber
now
as
the
blubber
envelopes
the
whale
precisely
as
the
rind
does
an
orange
so
is
it
stripped
off
from
the
body
precisely
as
an
orange
is
sometimes
stripped
by
spiralizing
it
for
the
strain
constantly
kept
up
by
the
windlass
continually
keeps
the
whale
rolling
over
and
over
in
the
water
and
as
the
blubber
in
one
strip
uniformly
peels
off
along
the
line
called
the
scarf
simultaneously
cut
by
the
spades
of
starbuck
and
stubb
the
mates
and
just
as
fast
as
it
is
thus
peeled
off
and
indeed
by
that
very
act
itself
it
is
all
the
time
being
hoisted
higher
and
higher
aloft
till
its
upper
end
grazes
the
main
top
the
men
at
the
windlass
then
cease
heaving
and
for
a
moment
or
two
the
prodigious
blood
dripping
mass
sways
to
and
fro
as
if
let
down
from
the
sky
and
every
one
present
must
take
good
heed
to
dodge
it
when
it
swings
else
it
may
box
his
ears
and
pitch
him
headlong
overboard
one
of
the
attending
harpooneers
now
advances
with
a
long
keen
weapon
called
a
boarding
sword
and
watching
his
chance
he
dexterously
slices
out
a
considerable
hole
in
the
lower
part
of
the
swaying
mass
into
this
hole
the
end
of
the
second
alternating
great
tackle
is
then
hooked
so
as
to
retain
a
hold
upon
the
blubber
in
order
to
prepare
for
what
follows
whereupon
this
accomplished
swordsman
warning
all
hands
to
stand
off
once
more
makes
a
scientific
dash
at
the
mass
and
with
a
few
sidelong
desperate
lunging
slicings
severs
it
completely
in
twain
so
that
while
the
short
lower
part
is
still
fast
the
long
upper
strip
called
a
blanket
piece
swings
clear
and
is
all
ready
for
lowering
the
heavers
forward
now
resume
their
song
and
while
the
one
tackle
is
peeling
and
hoisting
a
second
strip
from
the
whale
the
other
is
slowly
slackened
away
and
down
goes
the
first
strip
through
the
main
hatchway
right
beneath
into
an
unfurnished
parlor
called
the
blubber
room
into
this
twilight
apartment
sundry
nimble
hands
keep
coiling
away
the
long
blanket
piece
as
if
it
were
a
great
live
mass
of
plaited
serpents
and
thus
the
work
proceeds
the
two
tackles
hoisting
and
lowering
simultaneously
both
whale
and
windlass
heaving
the
heavers
singing
the
blubber
room
gentlemen
coiling
the
mates
scarfing
the
ship
straining
and
all
hands
swearing
occasionally
by
way
of
assuaging
the
general
friction
i
have
given
no
small
attention
to
that
not
unvexed
subject
the
skin
of
the
whale
i
have
had
controversies
about
it
with
experienced
whalemen
afloat
and
learned
naturalists
ashore
my
original
opinion
remains
unchanged
but
it
is
only
an
opinion
the
question
is
what
and
where
is
the
skin
of
the
whale
already
you
know
what
his
blubber
is
that
blubber
is
something
of
the
consistence
of
firm
close
grained
beef
but
tougher
more
elastic
and
compact
and
ranges
from
eight
or
ten
to
twelve
and
fifteen
inches
in
thickness
now
however
preposterous
it
may
at
first
seem
to
talk
of
any
creatures
skin
as
being
of
that
sort
of
consistence
and
thickness
yet
in
point
of
fact
these
are
no
arguments
against
such
a
presumption
because
you
cannot
raise
any
other
dense
enveloping
layer
from
the
whales
body
but
that
same
blubber
and
the
outermost
enveloping
layer
of
any
animal
if
reasonably
dense
what
can
that
be
but
the
skin
true
from
the
unmarred
dead
body
of
the
whale
you
may
scrape
off
with
your
hand
an
infinitely
thin
transparent
substance
somewhat
resembling
the
thinnest
shreds
of
isinglass
only
it
is
almost
as
flexible
and
soft
as
satin
that
is
previous
to
being
dried
when
it
not
only
contracts
and
thickens
but
becomes
rather
hard
and
brittle
i
have
several
such
dried
bits
which
i
use
for
marks
in
my
whale
books
it
is
transparent
as
i
said
before
and
being
laid
upon
the
printed
page
i
have
sometimes
pleased
myself
with
fancying
it
exerted
a
magnifying
influence
at
any
rate
it
is
pleasant
to
read
about
whales
through
their
own
spectacles
as
you
may
say
but
what
i
am
driving
at
here
is
this
that
same
infinitely
thin
isinglass
substance
which
i
admit
invests
the
entire
body
of
the
whale
is
not
so
much
to
be
regarded
as
the
skin
of
the
creature
as
the
skin
of
the
skin
so
to
speak
for
it
were
simply
ridiculous
to
say
that
the
proper
skin
of
the
tremendous
whale
is
thinner
and
more
tender
than
the
skin
of
a
new
born
child
but
no
more
of
this
assuming
the
blubber
to
be
the
skin
of
the
whale
then
when
this
skin
as
in
the
case
of
a
very
large
sperm
whale
will
yield
the
bulk
of
one
hundred
barrels
of
oil
and
when
it
is
considered
that
in
quantity
or
rather
weight
that
oil
in
its
expressed
state
is
only
three
fourths
and
not
the
entire
substance
of
the
coat
some
idea
may
hence
be
had
of
the
enormousness
of
that
animated
mass
a
mere
part
of
whose
mere
integument
yields
such
a
lake
of
liquid
as
that
reckoning
ten
barrels
to
the
ton
you
have
ten
tons
for
the
net
weight
of
only
three
quarters
of
the
stuff
of
the
whales
skin
in
life
the
visible
surface
of
the
sperm
whale
is
not
the
least
among
the
many
marvels
he
presents
almost
invariably
it
is
all
over
obliquely
crossed
and
re
crossed
with
numberless
straight
marks
in
thick
array
something
like
those
in
the
finest
italian
line
engravings
but
these
marks
do
not
seem
to
be
impressed
upon
the
isinglass
substance
above
mentioned
but
seem
to
be
seen
through
it
as
if
they
were
engraved
upon
the
body
itself
nor
is
this
all
in
some
instances
to
the
quick
observant
eye
those
linear
marks
as
in
a
veritable
engraving
but
afford
the
ground
for
far
other
delineations
these
are
hieroglyphical
that
is
if
you
call
those
mysterious
cyphers
on
the
walls
of
pyramids
hieroglyphics
then
that
is
the
proper
word
to
use
in
the
present
connexion
by
my
retentive
memory
of
the
hieroglyphics
upon
one
sperm
whale
in
particular
i
was
much
struck
with
a
plate
representing
the
old
indian
characters
chiselled
on
the
famous
hieroglyphic
palisades
on
the
banks
of
the
upper
mississippi
like
those
mystic
rocks
too
the
mystic
marked
whale
remains
undecipherable
this
allusion
to
the
indian
rocks
reminds
me
of
another
thing
besides
all
the
other
phenomena
which
the
exterior
of
the
sperm
whale
presents
he
not
seldom
displays
the
back
and
more
especially
his
flanks
effaced
in
great
part
of
the
regular
linear
appearance
by
reason
of
numerous
rude
scratches
altogether
of
an
irregular
random
aspect
i
should
say
that
those
new
england
rocks
on
the
sea
coast
which
agassiz
imagines
to
bear
the
marks
of
violent
scraping
contact
with
vast
floating
icebergs
i
should
say
that
those
rocks
must
not
a
little
resemble
the
sperm
whale
in
this
particular
it
also
seems
to
me
that
such
scratches
in
the
whale
are
probably
made
by
hostile
contact
with
other
whales
for
i
have
most
remarked
them
in
the
large
full
grown
bulls
of
the
species
a
word
or
two
more
concerning
this
matter
of
the
skin
or
blubber
of
the
whale
it
has
already
been
said
that
it
is
stript
from
him
in
long
pieces
called
blanket
pieces
like
most
sea
terms
this
one
is
very
happy
and
significant
for
the
whale
is
indeed
wrapt
up
in
his
blubber
as
in
a
real
blanket
or
counterpane
or
still
better
an
indian
poncho
slipt
over
his
head
and
skirting
his
extremity
it
is
by
reason
of
this
cosy
blanketing
of
his
body
that
the
whale
is
enabled
to
keep
himself
comfortable
in
all
weathers
in
all
seas
times
and
tides
what
would
become
of
a
greenland
whale
say
in
those
shuddering
icy
seas
of
the
north
if
unsupplied
with
his
cosy
surtout
true
other
fish
are
found
exceedingly
brisk
in
those
hyperborean
waters
but
these
be
it
observed
are
your
cold
blooded
lungless
fish
whose
very
bellies
are
refrigerators
creatures
that
warm
themselves
under
the
lee
of
an
iceberg
as
a
traveller
in
winter
would
bask
before
an
inn
fire
whereas
like
man
the
whale
has
lungs
and
warm
blood
freeze
his
blood
and
he
dies
how
wonderful
is
it
then
except
after
explanation
that
this
great
monster
to
whom
corporeal
warmth
is
as
indispensable
as
it
is
to
man
how
wonderful
that
he
should
be
found
at
home
immersed
to
his
lips
for
life
in
those
arctic
waters
where
when
seamen
fall
overboard
they
are
sometimes
found
months
afterwards
perpendicularly
frozen
into
the
hearts
of
fields
of
ice
as
a
fly
is
found
glued
in
amber
but
more
surprising
is
it
to
know
as
has
been
proved
by
experiment
that
the
blood
of
a
polar
whale
is
warmer
than
that
of
a
borneo
negro
in
summer
it
does
seem
to
me
that
herein
we
see
the
rare
virtue
of
a
strong
individual
vitality
and
the
rare
virtue
of
thick
walls
and
the
rare
virtue
of
interior
spaciousness
oh
man
admire
and
model
thyself
after
the
whale
do
thou
too
remain
warm
among
ice
do
thou
too
live
in
this
world
without
being
of
it
be
cool
at
the
equator
keep
thy
blood
fluid
at
the
pole
like
the
great
dome
of
st
peters
and
like
the
great
whale
retain
o
man
in
all
seasons
a
temperature
of
thine
own
but
how
easy
and
how
hopeless
to
teach
these
fine
things
of
erections
how
few
are
domed
like
st
peters
of
creatures
how
few
vast
as
the
whale
haul
in
the
chains
let
the
carcase
go
astern
the
vast
tackles
have
now
done
their
duty
the
peeled
white
body
of
the
beheaded
whale
flashes
like
a
marble
sepulchre
though
changed
in
hue
it
has
not
perceptibly
lost
anything
in
bulk
it
is
still
colossal
slowly
it
floats
more
and
more
away
the
water
round
it
torn
and
splashed
by
the
insatiate
sharks
and
the
air
above
vexed
with
rapacious
flights
of
screaming
fowls
whose
beaks
are
like
so
many
insulting
poniards
in
the
whale
the
vast
white
headless
phantom
floats
further
and
further
from
the
ship
and
every
rod
that
it
so
floats
what
seem
square
roods
of
sharks
and
cubic
roods
of
fowls
augment
the
murderous
din
for
hours
and
hours
from
the
almost
stationary
ship
that
hideous
sight
is
seen
beneath
the
unclouded
and
mild
azure
sky
upon
the
fair
face
of
the
pleasant
sea
wafted
by
the
joyous
breezes
that
great
mass
of
death
floats
on
and
on
till
lost
in
infinite
perspectives
theres
a
most
doleful
and
most
mocking
funeral
the
sea
vultures
all
in
pious
mourning
the
air
sharks
all
punctiliously
in
black
or
speckled
in
life
but
few
of
them
would
have
helped
the
whale
i
ween
if
peradventure
he
had
needed
it
but
upon
the
banquet
of
his
funeral
they
most
piously
do
pounce
oh
horrible
vultureism
of
earth
from
which
not
the
mightiest
whale
is
free
nor
is
this
the
end
desecrated
as
the
body
is
a
vengeful
ghost
survives
and
hovers
over
it
to
scare
espied
by
some
timid
man
of
war
or
blundering
discovery
vessel
from
afar
when
the
distance
obscuring
the
swarming
fowls
nevertheless
still
shows
the
white
mass
floating
in
the
sun
and
the
white
spray
heaving
high
against
it
straightway
the
whales
unharming
corpse
with
trembling
fingers
is
set
down
in
the
log
shoals
rocks
and
breakers
hereabouts
beware
and
for
years
afterwards
perhaps
ships
shun
the
place
leaping
over
it
as
silly
sheep
leap
over
a
vacuum
because
their
leader
originally
leaped
there
when
a
stick
was
held
theres
your
law
of
precedents
theres
your
utility
of
traditions
theres
the
story
of
your
obstinate
survival
of
old
beliefs
never
bottomed
on
the
earth
and
now
not
even
hovering
in
the
air
theres
orthodoxy
thus
while
in
life
the
great
whales
body
may
have
been
a
real
terror
to
his
foes
in
his
death
his
ghost
becomes
a
powerless
panic
to
a
world
are
you
a
believer
in
ghosts
my
friend
there
are
other
ghosts
than
the
cock
lane
one
and
far
deeper
men
than
doctor
johnson
who
believe
in
them
it
should
not
have
been
omitted
that
previous
to
completely
stripping
the
body
of
the
leviathan
he
was
beheaded
now
the
beheading
of
the
sperm
whale
is
a
scientific
anatomical
feat
upon
which
experienced
whale
surgeons
very
much
pride
themselves
and
not
without
reason
consider
that
the
whale
has
nothing
that
can
properly
be
called
a
neck
on
the
contrary
where
his
head
and
body
seem
to
join
there
in
that
very
place
is
the
thickest
part
of
him
remember
also
that
the
surgeon
must
operate
from
above
some
eight
or
ten
feet
intervening
between
him
and
his
subject
and
that
subject
almost
hidden
in
a
discolored
rolling
and
oftentimes
tumultuous
and
bursting
sea
bear
in
mind
too
that
under
these
untoward
circumstances
he
has
to
cut
many
feet
deep
in
the
flesh
and
in
that
subterraneous
manner
without
so
much
as
getting
one
single
peep
into
the
ever
contracting
gash
thus
made
he
must
skilfully
steer
clear
of
all
adjacent
interdicted
parts
and
exactly
divide
the
spine
at
a
critical
point
hard
by
its
insertion
into
the
skull
do
you
not
marvel
then
at
stubbs
boast
that
he
demanded
but
ten
minutes
to
behead
a
sperm
whale
when
first
severed
the
head
is
dropped
astern
and
held
there
by
a
cable
till
the
body
is
stripped
that
done
if
it
belong
to
a
small
whale
it
is
hoisted
on
deck
to
be
deliberately
disposed
of
but
with
a
full
grown
leviathan
this
is
impossible
for
the
sperm
whales
head
embraces
nearly
one
third
of
his
entire
bulk
and
completely
to
suspend
such
a
burden
as
that
even
by
the
immense
tackles
of
a
whaler
this
were
as
vain
a
thing
as
to
attempt
weighing
a
dutch
barn
in
jewellers
scales
the
pequods
whale
being
decapitated
and
the
body
stripped
the
head
was
hoisted
against
the
ships
side
about
half
way
out
of
the
sea
so
that
it
might
yet
in
great
part
be
buoyed
up
by
its
native
element
and
there
with
the
strained
craft
steeply
leaning
over
to
it
by
reason
of
the
enormous
downward
drag
from
the
lower
mast
head
and
every
yard
arm
on
that
side
projecting
like
a
crane
over
the
waves
there
that
blood
dripping
head
hung
to
the
pequods
waist
like
the
giant
holoferness
from
the
girdle
of
judith
when
this
last
task
was
accomplished
it
was
noon
and
the
seamen
went
below
to
their
dinner
silence
reigned
over
the
before
tumultuous
but
now
deserted
deck
an
intense
copper
calm
like
a
universal
yellow
lotus
was
more
and
more
unfolding
its
noiseless
measureless
leaves
upon
the
sea
a
short
space
elapsed
and
up
into
this
noiselessness
came
ahab
alone
from
his
cabin
taking
a
few
turns
on
the
quarter
deck
he
paused
to
gaze
over
the
side
then
slowly
getting
into
the
main
chains
he
took
stubbs
long
spade
still
remaining
there
after
the
whales
decapitation
and
striking
it
into
the
lower
part
of
the
half
suspended
mass
placed
its
other
end
crutch
wise
under
one
arm
and
so
stood
leaning
over
with
eyes
attentively
fixed
on
this
head
it
was
a
black
and
hooded
head
and
hanging
there
in
the
midst
of
so
intense
a
calm
it
seemed
the
sphynxs
in
the
desert
speak
thou
vast
and
venerable
head
muttered
ahab
which
though
ungarnished
with
a
beard
yet
here
and
there
lookest
hoary
with
mosses
speak
mighty
head
and
tell
us
the
secret
thing
that
is
in
thee
of
all
divers
thou
hast
dived
the
deepest
that
head
upon
which
the
upper
sun
now
gleams
has
moved
amid
this
worlds
foundations
where
unrecorded
names
and
navies
rust
and
untold
hopes
and
anchors
rot
where
in
her
murderous
hold
this
frigate
earth
is
ballasted
with
bones
of
millions
of
the
drowned
there
in
that
awful
water
land
there
was
thy
most
familiar
home
thou
hast
been
where
bell
or
diver
never
went
hast
slept
by
many
a
sailors
side
where
sleepless
mothers
would
give
their
lives
to
lay
them
down
thou
sawst
the
locked
lovers
when
leaping
from
their
flaming
ship
heart
to
heart
they
sank
beneath
the
exulting
wave
true
to
each
other
when
heaven
seemed
false
to
them
thou
sawst
the
murdered
mate
when
tossed
by
pirates
from
the
midnight
deck
for
hours
he
fell
into
the
deeper
midnight
of
the
insatiate
maw
and
his
murderers
still
sailed
on
unharmed
while
swift
lightnings
shivered
the
neighboring
ship
that
would
have
borne
a
righteous
husband
to
outstretched
longing
arms
o
head
thou
hast
seen
enough
to
split
the
planets
and
make
an
infidel
of
abraham
and
not
one
syllable
is
thine
sail
ho
cried
a
triumphant
voice
from
the
main
masthead
aye
well
now
thats
cheering
cried
ahab
suddenly
erecting
himself
while
whole
thunder
clouds
swept
aside
from
his
brow
that
lively
cry
upon
this
deadly
calm
might
almost
convert
a
better
man
where
away
three
points
on
the
starboard
bow
sir
and
bringing
down
her
breeze
to
us
better
and
better
man
would
now
st
paul
would
come
along
that
way
and
to
my
breezelessness
bring
his
breeze
o
nature
and
o
soul
of
man
how
far
beyond
all
utterance
are
your
linked
analogies
not
the
smallest
atom
stirs
or
lives
on
matter
but
has
its
cunning
duplicate
in

hand
in
hand
ship
and
breeze
blew
on
but
the
breeze
came
faster
than
the
ship
and
soon
the
pequod
began
to
rock
by
and
by
through
the
glass
the
strangers
boats
and
manned
mast
heads
proved
her
a
whale
ship
but
as
she
was
so
far
to
windward
and
shooting
by
apparently
making
a
passage
to
some
other
ground
the
pequod
could
not
hope
to
reach
her
so
the
signal
was
set
to
see
what
response
would
be
made
here
be
it
said
that
like
the
vessels
of
military
marines
the
ships
of
the
american
whale
fleet
have
each
a
private
signal
all
which
signals
being
collected
in
a
book
with
the
names
of
the
respective
vessels
attached
every
captain
is
provided
with
it
thereby
the
whale
commanders
are
enabled
to
recognise
each
other
upon
the
ocean
even
at
considerable
distances
and
with
no
small
facility
the
pequods
signal
was
at
last
responded
to
by
the
strangers
setting
her
own
which
proved
the
ship
to
be
the
jeroboam
of
nantucket
squaring
her
yards
she
bore
down
ranged
abeam
under
the
pequods
lee
and
lowered
a
boat
it
soon
drew
nigh
but
as
the
side
ladder
was
being
rigged
by
starbucks
order
to
accommodate
the
visiting
captain
the
stranger
in
question
waved
his
hand
from
his
boats
stern
in
token
of
that
proceeding
being
entirely
unnecessary
it
turned
out
that
the
jeroboam
had
a
malignant
epidemic
on
board
and
that
mayhew
her
captain
was
fearful
of
infecting
the
pequods
company
for
though
himself
and
boats
crew
remained
untainted
and
though
his
ship
was
half
a
rifle
shot
off
and
an
incorruptible
sea
and
air
rolling
and
flowing
between
yet
conscientiously
adhering
to
the
timid
quarantine
of
the
land
he
peremptorily
refused
to
come
into
direct
contact
with
the
pequod
but
this
did
by
no
means
prevent
all
communication
preserving
an
interval
of
some
few
yards
between
itself
and
the
ship
the
jeroboams
boat
by
the
occasional
use
of
its
oars
contrived
to
keep
parallel
to
the
pequod
as
she
heavily
forged
through
the
sea
for
by
this
time
it
blew
very
fresh
with
her
main
topsail
aback
though
indeed
at
times
by
the
sudden
onset
of
a
large
rolling
wave
the
boat
would
be
pushed
some
way
ahead
but
would
be
soon
skilfully
brought
to
her
proper
bearings
again
subject
to
this
and
other
the
like
interruptions
now
and
then
a
conversation
was
sustained
between
the
two
parties
but
at
intervals
not
without
still
another
interruption
of
a
very
different
sort
pulling
an
oar
in
the
jeroboams
boat
was
a
man
of
a
singular
appearance
even
in
that
wild
whaling
life
where
individual
notabilities
make
up
all
totalities
he
was
a
small
short
youngish
man
sprinkled
all
over
his
face
with
freckles
and
wearing
redundant
yellow
hair
a
long
skirted
cabalistically
cut
coat
of
a
faded
walnut
tinge
enveloped
him
the
overlapping
sleeves
of
which
were
rolled
up
on
his
wrists
a
deep
settled
fanatic
delirium
was
in
his
eyes
so
soon
as
this
figure
had
been
first
descried
stubb
had
exclaimed
thats
he
thats
he
the
long
togged
scaramouch
the
town
hos
company
told
us
of
stubb
here
alluded
to
a
strange
story
told
of
the
jeroboam
and
a
certain
man
among
her
crew
some
time
previous
when
the
pequod
spoke
the
town
ho
according
to
this
account
and
what
was
subsequently
learned
it
seemed
that
the
scaramouch
in
question
had
gained
a
wonderful
ascendency
over
almost
everybody
in
the
jeroboam
his
story
was
this
he
had
been
originally
nurtured
among
the
crazy
society
of
neskyeuna
shakers
where
he
had
been
a
great
prophet
in
their
cracked
secret
meetings
having
several
times
descended
from
heaven
by
the
way
of
a
trap
door
announcing
the
speedy
opening
of
the
seventh
vial
which
he
carried
in
his
vest
pocket
but
which
instead
of
containing
gunpowder
was
supposed
to
be
charged
with
laudanum
a
strange
apostolic
whim
having
seized
him
he
had
left
neskyeuna
for
nantucket
where
with
that
cunning
peculiar
to
craziness
he
assumed
a
steady
common
sense
exterior
and
offered
himself
as
a
green
hand
candidate
for
the
jeroboams
whaling
voyage
they
engaged
him
but
straightway
upon
the
ships
getting
out
of
sight
of
land
his
insanity
broke
out
in
a
freshet
he
announced
himself
as
the
archangel
gabriel
and
commanded
the
captain
to
jump
overboard
he
published
his
manifesto
whereby
he
set
himself
forth
as
the
deliverer
of
the
isles
of
the
sea
and
vicar
general
of
all
oceanica
the
unflinching
earnestness
with
which
he
declared
these
things
the
dark
daring
play
of
his
sleepless
excited
imagination
and
all
the
preternatural
terrors
of
real
delirium
united
to
invest
this
gabriel
in
the
minds
of
the
majority
of
the
ignorant
crew
with
an
atmosphere
of
sacredness
moreover
they
were
afraid
of
him
as
such
a
man
however
was
not
of
much
practical
use
in
the
ship
especially
as
he
refused
to
work
except
when
he
pleased
the
incredulous
captain
would
fain
have
been
rid
of
him
but
apprised
that
that
individuals
intention
was
to
land
him
in
the
first
convenient
port
the
archangel
forthwith
opened
all
his
seals
and
vials
devoting
the
ship
and
all
hands
to
unconditional
perdition
in
case
this
intention
was
carried
out
so
strongly
did
he
work
upon
his
disciples
among
the
crew
that
at
last
in
a
body
they
went
to
the
captain
and
told
him
if
gabriel
was
sent
from
the
ship
not
a
man
of
them
would
remain
he
was
therefore
forced
to
relinquish
his
plan
nor
would
they
permit
gabriel
to
be
any
way
maltreated
say
or
do
what
he
would
so
that
it
came
to
pass
that
gabriel
had
the
complete
freedom
of
the
ship
the
consequence
of
all
this
was
that
the
archangel
cared
little
or
nothing
for
the
captain
and
mates
and
since
the
epidemic
had
broken
out
he
carried
a
higher
hand
than
ever
declaring
that
the
plague
as
he
called
it
was
at
his
sole
command
nor
should
it
be
stayed
but
according
to
his
good
pleasure
the
sailors
mostly
poor
devils
cringed
and
some
of
them
fawned
before
him
in
obedience
to
his
instructions
sometimes
rendering
him
personal
homage
as
to
a
god
such
things
may
seem
incredible
but
however
wondrous
they
are
true
nor
is
the
history
of
fanatics
half
so
striking
in
respect
to
the
measureless
self
deception
of
the
fanatic
himself
as
his
measureless
power
of
deceiving
and
bedevilling
so
many
others
but
it
is
time
to
return
to
the
pequod
i
fear
not
thy
epidemic
man
said
ahab
from
the
bulwarks
to
captain
mayhew
who
stood
in
the
boats
stern
come
on
board
but
now
gabriel
started
to
his
feet
think
think
of
the
fevers
yellow
and
bilious
beware
of
the
horrible
plague
gabriel
gabriel
cried
captain
mayhew
thou
must
either
but
that
instant
a
headlong
wave
shot
the
boat
far
ahead
and
its
seethings
drowned
all
speech
hast
thou
seen
the
white
whale
demanded
ahab
when
the
boat
drifted
back
think
think
of
thy
whale
boat
stoven
and
sunk
beware
of
the
horrible
tail
i
tell
thee
again
gabriel
that
but
again
the
boat
tore
ahead
as
if
dragged
by
fiends
nothing
was
said
for
some
moments
while
a
succession
of
riotous
waves
rolled
by
which
by
one
of
those
occasional
caprices
of
the
seas
were
tumbling
not
heaving
it
meantime
the
hoisted
sperm
whales
head
jogged
about
very
violently
and
gabriel
was
seen
eyeing
it
with
rather
more
apprehensiveness
than
his
archangel
nature
seemed
to
warrant
when
this
interlude
was
over
captain
mayhew
began
a
dark
story
concerning
moby
dick
not
however
without
frequent
interruptions
from
gabriel
whenever
his
name
was
mentioned
and
the
crazy
sea
that
seemed
leagued
with
him
it
seemed
that
the
jeroboam
had
not
long
left
home
when
upon
speaking
a
whale
ship
her
people
were
reliably
apprised
of
the
existence
of
moby
dick
and
the
havoc
he
had
made
greedily
sucking
in
this
intelligence
gabriel
solemnly
warned
the
captain
against
attacking
the
white
whale
in
case
the
monster
should
be
seen
in
his
gibbering
insanity
pronouncing
the
white
whale
to
be
no
less
a
being
than
the
shaker
god
incarnated
the
shakers
receiving
the
bible
but
when
some
year
or
two
afterwards
moby
dick
was
fairly
sighted
from
the
mast
heads
macey
the
chief
mate
burned
with
ardor
to
encounter
him
and
the
captain
himself
being
not
unwilling
to
let
him
have
the
opportunity
despite
all
the
archangels
denunciations
and
forewarnings
macey
succeeded
in
persuading
five
men
to
man
his
boat
with
them
he
pushed
off
and
after
much
weary
pulling
and
many
perilous
unsuccessful
onsets
he
at
last
succeeded
in
getting
one
iron
fast
meantime
gabriel
ascending
to
the
main
royal
mast
head
was
tossing
one
arm
in
frantic
gestures
and
hurling
forth
prophecies
of
speedy
doom
to
the
sacrilegious
assailants
of
his
divinity
now
while
macey
the
mate
was
standing
up
in
his
boats
bow
and
with
all
the
reckless
energy
of
his
tribe
was
venting
his
wild
exclamations
upon
the
whale
and
essaying
to
get
a
fair
chance
for
his
poised
lance
lo
a
broad
white
shadow
rose
from
the
sea
by
its
quick
fanning
motion
temporarily
taking
the
breath
out
of
the
bodies
of
the
oarsmen
next
instant
the
luckless
mate
so
full
of
furious
life
was
smitten
bodily
into
the
air
and
making
a
long
arc
in
his
descent
fell
into
the
sea
at
the
distance
of
about
fifty
yards
not
a
chip
of
the
boat
was
harmed
nor
a
hair
of
any
oarsmans
head
but
the
mate
for
ever
sank
it
is
well
to
parenthesize
here
that
of
the
fatal
accidents
in
the
sperm
whale
fishery
this
kind
is
perhaps
almost
as
frequent
as
any
sometimes
nothing
is
injured
but
the
man
who
is
thus
annihilated
oftener
the
boats
bow
is
knocked
off
or
the
thigh
board
in
which
the
headsman
stands
is
torn
from
its
place
and
accompanies
the
body
but
strangest
of
all
is
the
circumstance
that
in
more
instances
than
one
when
the
body
has
been
recovered
not
a
single
mark
of
violence
is
discernible
the
man
being
stark
dead
the
whole
calamity
with
the
falling
form
of
macey
was
plainly
descried
from
the
ship
raising
a
piercing
shriek
the
vial
the
vial
gabriel
called
off
the
terror
stricken
crew
from
the
further
hunting
of
the
whale
this
terrible
event
clothed
the
archangel
with
added
influence
because
his
credulous
disciples
believed
that
he
had
specifically
fore
announced
it
instead
of
only
making
a
general
prophecy
which
any
one
might
have
done
and
so
have
chanced
to
hit
one
of
many
marks
in
the
wide
margin
allowed
he
became
a
nameless
terror
to
the
ship
mayhew
having
concluded
his
narration
ahab
put
such
questions
to
him
that
the
stranger
captain
could
not
forbear
inquiring
whether
he
intended
to
hunt
the
white
whale
if
opportunity
should
offer
to
which
ahab
answered
aye
straightway
then
gabriel
once
more
started
to
his
feet
glaring
upon
the
old
man
and
vehemently
exclaimed
with
downward
pointed
finger
think
think
of
the
blasphemer
dead
and
down
there
beware
of
the
blasphemers
end
ahab
stolidly
turned
aside
then
said
to
mayhew
captain
i
have
just
bethought
me
of
my
letter
bag
there
is
a
letter
for
one
of
thy
officers
if
i
mistake
not
starbuck
look
over
the
bag
every
whale
ship
takes
out
a
goodly
number
of
letters
for
various
ships
whose
delivery
to
the
persons
to
whom
they
may
be
addressed
depends
upon
the
mere
chance
of
encountering
them
in
the
four
oceans
thus
most
letters
never
reach
their
mark
and
many
are
only
received
after
attaining
an
age
of
two
or
three
years
or
more
soon
starbuck
returned
with
a
letter
in
his
hand
it
was
sorely
tumbled
damp
and
covered
with
a
dull
spotted
green
mould
in
consequence
of
being
kept
in
a
dark
locker
of
the
cabin
of
such
a
letter
death
himself
might
well
have
been
the
post
boy
canst
not
read
it
cried
ahab
give
it
me
man
aye
aye
its
but
a
dim
scrawl
whats
this
as
he
was
studying
it
out
starbuck
took
a
long
cutting
spade
pole
and
with
his
knife
slightly
split
the
end
to
insert
the
letter
there
and
in
that
way
hand
it
to
the
boat
without
its
coming
any
closer
to
the
ship
meantime
ahab
holding
the
letter
muttered
mr
har
yes
mr
harry
a
womans
pinny
hand
the
mans
wife
ill
wager
aye
mr
harry
macey
ship
jeroboam
why
its
macey
and
hes
dead
poor
fellow
poor
fellow
and
from
his
wife
sighed
mayhew
but
let
me
have
it
nay
keep
it
thyself
cried
gabriel
to
ahab
thou
art
soon
going
that
way
curses
throttle
thee
yelled
ahab
captain
mayhew
stand
by
now
to
receive
it
and
taking
the
fatal
missive
from
starbucks
hands
he
caught
it
in
the
slit
of
the
pole
and
reached
it
over
towards
the
boat
but
as
he
did
so
the
oarsmen
expectantly
desisted
from
rowing
the
boat
drifted
a
little
towards
the
ships
stern
so
that
as
if
by
magic
the
letter
suddenly
ranged
along
with
gabriels
eager
hand
he
clutched
it
in
an
instant
seized
the
boat
knife
and
impaling
the
letter
on
it
sent
it
thus
loaded
back
into
the
ship
it
fell
at
ahabs
feet
then
gabriel
shrieked
out
to
his
comrades
to
give
way
with
their
oars
and
in
that
manner
the
mutinous
boat
rapidly
shot
away
from
the
pequod
as
after
this
interlude
the
seamen
resumed
their
work
upon
the
jacket
of
the
whale
many
strange
things
were
hinted
in
reference
to
this
wild
affair
a
talk
over
him
it
must
be
borne
in
mind
that
all
this
time
we
have
a
sperm
whales
prodigious
head
hanging
to
the
pequods
side
but
we
must
let
it
continue
hanging
there
a
while
till
we
can
get
a
chance
to
attend
to
it
for
the
present
other
matters
press
and
the
best
we
can
do
now
for
the
head
is
to
pray
heaven
the
tackles
may
hold
now
during
the
past
night
and
forenoon
the
pequod
had
gradually
drifted
into
a
sea
which
by
its
occasional
patches
of
yellow
brit
gave
unusual
tokens
of
the
vicinity
of
right
whales
a
species
of
the
leviathan
that
but
few
supposed
to
be
at
this
particular
time
lurking
anywhere
near
and
though
all
hands
commonly
disdained
the
capture
of
those
inferior
creatures
and
though
the
pequod
was
not
commissioned
to
cruise
for
them
at
all
and
though
she
had
passed
numbers
of
them
near
the
crozetts
without
lowering
a
boat
yet
now
that
a
sperm
whale
had
been
brought
alongside
and
beheaded
to
the
surprise
of
all
the
announcement
was
made
that
a
right
whale
should
be
captured
that
day
if
opportunity
offered
nor
was
this
long
wanting
tall
spouts
were
seen
to
leeward
and
two
boats
stubbs
and
flasks
were
detached
in
pursuit
pulling
further
and
further
away
they
at
last
became
almost
invisible
to
the
men
at
the
mast
head
but
suddenly
in
the
distance
they
saw
a
great
heap
of
tumultuous
white
water
and
soon
after
news
came
from
aloft
that
one
or
both
the
boats
must
be
fast
an
interval
passed
and
the
boats
were
in
plain
sight
in
the
act
of
being
dragged
right
towards
the
ship
by
the
towing
whale
so
close
did
the
monster
come
to
the
hull
that
at
first
it
seemed
as
if
he
meant
it
malice
but
suddenly
going
down
in
a
maelstrom
within
three
rods
of
the
planks
he
wholly
disappeared
from
view
as
if
diving
under
the
keel
cut
cut
was
the
cry
from
the
ship
to
the
boats
which
for
one
instant
seemed
on
the
point
of
being
brought
with
a
deadly
dash
against
the
vessels
side
but
having
plenty
of
line
yet
in
the
tubs
and
the
whale
not
sounding
very
rapidly
they
paid
out
abundance
of
rope
and
at
the
same
time
pulled
with
all
their
might
so
as
to
get
ahead
of
the
ship
for
a
few
minutes
the
struggle
was
intensely
critical
for
while
they
still
slacked
out
the
tightened
line
in
one
direction
and
still
plied
their
oars
in
another
the
contending
strain
threatened
to
take
them
under
but
it
was
only
a
few
feet
advance
they
sought
to
gain
and
they
stuck
to
it
till
they
did
gain
it
when
instantly
a
swift
tremor
was
felt
running
like
lightning
along
the
keel
as
the
strained
line
scraping
beneath
the
ship
suddenly
rose
to
view
under
her
bows
snapping
and
quivering
and
so
flinging
off
its
drippings
that
the
drops
fell
like
bits
of
broken
glass
on
the
water
while
the
whale
beyond
also
rose
to
sight
and
once
more
the
boats
were
free
to
fly
but
the
fagged
whale
abated
his
speed
and
blindly
altering
his
course
went
round
the
stern
of
the
ship
towing
the
two
boats
after
him
so
that
they
performed
a
complete
circuit
meantime
they
hauled
more
and
more
upon
their
lines
till
close
flanking
him
on
both
sides
stubb
answered
flask
with
lance
for
lance
and
thus
round
and
round
the
pequod
the
battle
went
while
the
multitudes
of
sharks
that
had
before
swum
round
the
sperm
whales
body
rushed
to
the
fresh
blood
that
was
spilled
thirstily
drinking
at
every
new
gash
as
the
eager
israelites
did
at
the
new
bursting
fountains
that
poured
from
the
smitten
rock
at
last
his
spout
grew
thick
and
with
a
frightful
roll
and
vomit
he
turned
upon
his
back
a
corpse
while
the
two
headsmen
were
engaged
in
making
fast
cords
to
his
flukes
and
in
other
ways
getting
the
mass
in
readiness
for
towing
some
conversation
ensued
between
them
i
wonder
what
the
old
man
wants
with
this
lump
of
foul
lard
said
stubb
not
without
some
disgust
at
the
thought
of
having
to
do
with
so
ignoble
a
leviathan
wants
with
it
said
flask
coiling
some
spare
line
in
the
boats
bow
did
you
never
hear
that
the
ship
which
but
once
has
a
sperm
whales
head
hoisted
on
her
starboard
side
and
at
the
same
time
a
right
whales
on
the
larboard
did
you
never
hear
stubb
that
that
ship
can
never
afterwards
capsize
why
not
i
dont
know
but
i
heard
that
gamboge
ghost
of
a
fedallah
saying
so
and
he
seems
to
know
all
about
ships
charms
but
i
sometimes
think
hell
charm
the
ship
to
no
good
at
last
i
dont
half
like
that
chap
stubb
did
you
ever
notice
how
that
tusk
of
his
is
a
sort
of
carved
into
a
snakes
head
stubb
sink
him
i
never
look
at
him
at
all
but
if
ever
i
get
a
chance
of
a
dark
night
and
he
standing
hard
by
the
bulwarks
and
no
one
by
look
down
there
flask
pointing
into
the
sea
with
a
peculiar
motion
of
both
hands
aye
will
i
flask
i
take
that
fedallah
to
be
the
devil
in
disguise
do
you
believe
that
cock
and
bull
story
about
his
having
been
stowed
away
on
board
ship
hes
the
devil
i
say
the
reason
why
you
dont
see
his
tail
is
because
he
tucks
it
up
out
of
sight
he
carries
it
coiled
away
in
his
pocket
i
guess
blast
him
now
that
i
think
of
it
hes
always
wanting
oakum
to
stuff
into
the
toes
of
his
boots
he
sleeps
in
his
boots
dont
he
he
hasnt
got
any
hammock
but
ive
seen
him
lay
of
nights
in
a
coil
of
rigging
no
doubt
and
its
because
of
his
cursed
tail
he
coils
it
down
do
ye
see
in
the
eye
of
the
rigging
whats
the
old
man
have
so
much
to
do
with
him
for
striking
up
a
swap
or
a
bargain
i
suppose
bargain
about
what
why
do
ye
see
the
old
man
is
hard
bent
after
that
white
whale
and
the
devil
there
is
trying
to
come
round
him
and
get
him
to
swap
away
his
silver
watch
or
his
soul
or
something
of
that
sort
and
then
hell
surrender
moby
dick
pooh
stubb
you
are
skylarking
how
can
fedallah
do
that
i
dont
know
flask
but
the
devil
is
a
curious
chap
and
a
wicked
one
i
tell
ye
why
they
say
as
how
he
went
a
sauntering
into
the
old
flag
ship
once
switching
his
tail
about
devilish
easy
and
gentlemanlike
and
inquiring
if
the
old
governor
was
at
home
well
he
was
at
home
and
asked
the
devil
what
he
wanted
the
devil
switching
his
hoofs
up
and
says
i
want
john
what
for
says
the
old
governor
what
business
is
that
of
yours
says
the
devil
getting
mad
i
want
to
use
him
take
him
says
the
governor
and
by
the
lord
flask
if
the
devil
didnt
give
john
the
asiatic
cholera
before
he
got
through
with
him
ill
eat
this
whale
in
one
mouthful
but
look
sharp
aint
you
all
ready
there
well
then
pull
ahead
and
lets
get
the
whale
alongside
i
think
i
remember
some
such
story
as
you
were
telling
said
flask
when
at
last
the
two
boats
were
slowly
advancing
with
their
burden
towards
the
ship
but
i
cant
remember
where
three
spaniards
adventures
of
those
three
bloody
minded
soldadoes
did
ye
read
it
there
flask
i
guess
ye
did
no
never
saw
such
a
book
heard
of
it
though
but
now
tell
me
stubb
do
you
suppose
that
that
devil
you
was
speaking
of
just
now
was
the
same
you
say
is
now
on
board
the
pequod
am
i
the
same
man
that
helped
kill
this
whale
doesnt
the
devil
live
for
ever
who
ever
heard
that
the
devil
was
dead
did
you
ever
see
any
parson
a
wearing
mourning
for
the
devil
and
if
the
devil
has
a
latch
key
to
get
into
the
admirals
cabin
dont
you
suppose
he
can
crawl
into
a
port
hole
tell
me
that
mr
flask
how
old
do
you
suppose
fedallah
is
stubb
do
you
see
that
mainmast
there
pointing
to
the
ship
well
thats
the
figure
one
now
take
all
the
hoops
in
the
pequods
hold
and
string
em
along
in
a
row
with
that
mast
for
oughts
do
you
see
well
that
wouldnt
begin
to
be
fedallahs
age
nor
all
the
coopers
in
creation
couldnt
show
hoops
enough
to
make
oughts
enough
but
see
here
stubb
i
thought
you
a
little
boasted
just
now
that
you
meant
to
give
fedallah
a
sea
toss
if
you
got
a
good
chance
now
if
hes
so
old
as
all
those
hoops
of
yours
come
to
and
if
he
is
going
to
live
for
ever
what
good
will
it
do
to
pitch
him
overboard
tell
me
that
give
him
a
good
ducking
anyhow
but
hed
crawl
back
duck
him
again
and
keep
ducking
him
suppose
he
should
take
it
into
his
head
to
duck
you
though
yes
and
drown
you
what
then
i
should
like
to
see
him
try
it
id
give
him
such
a
pair
of
black
eyes
that
he
wouldnt
dare
to
show
his
face
in
the
admirals
cabin
again
for
a
long
while
let
alone
down
in
the
orlop
there
where
he
lives
and
hereabouts
on
the
upper
decks
where
he
sneaks
so
much
damn
the
devil
flask
do
you
suppose
im
afraid
of
the
devil
whos
afraid
of
him
except
the
old
governor
who
daresnt
catch
him
and
put
him
in
double
darbies
as
he
deserves
but
lets
him
go
about
kidnapping
people
aye
and
signed
a
bond
with
him
that
all
the
people
the
devil
kidnapped
hed
roast
for
him
theres
a
governor
do
you
suppose
fedallah
wants
to
kidnap
captain
ahab
do
i
suppose
it
youll
know
it
before
long
flask
but
i
am
going
now
to
keep
a
sharp
look
out
on
him
and
if
i
see
anything
very
suspicious
going
on
ill
just
take
him
by
the
nape
of
his
neck
and
say
look
here
beelzebub
you
dont
do
it
and
if
he
makes
any
fuss
by
the
lord
ill
make
a
grab
into
his
pocket
for
his
tail
take
it
to
the
capstan
and
give
him
such
a
wrenching
and
heaving
that
his
tail
will
come
short
off
at
the
stump
do
you
see
and
then
i
rather
guess
when
he
finds
himself
docked
in
that
queer
fashion
hell
sneak
off
without
the
poor
satisfaction
of
feeling
his
tail
between
his
legs
and
what
will
you
do
with
the
tail
stubb
do
with
it
sell
it
for
an
ox
whip
when
we
get
home
what
else
now
do
you
mean
what
you
say
and
have
been
saying
all
along
stubb
mean
or
not
mean
here
we
are
at
the
ship
the
boats
were
here
hailed
to
tow
the
whale
on
the
larboard
side
where
fluke
chains
and
other
necessaries
were
already
prepared
for
securing
him
didnt
i
tell
you
so
said
flask
yes
youll
soon
see
this
right
whales
head
hoisted
up
opposite
that
parmacettis
in
good
time
flasks
saying
proved
true
as
before
the
pequod
steeply
leaned
over
towards
the
sperm
whales
head
now
by
the
counterpoise
of
both
heads
she
regained
her
even
keel
though
sorely
strained
you
may
well
believe
so
when
on
one
side
you
hoist
in
lockes
head
you
go
over
that
way
but
now
on
the
other
side
hoist
in
kants
and
you
come
back
again
but
in
very
poor
plight
thus
some
minds
for
ever
keep
trimming
boat
oh
ye
foolish
throw
all
these
thunder
heads
overboard
and
then
you
will
float
light
and
right
in
disposing
of
the
body
of
a
right
whale
when
brought
alongside
the
ship
the
same
preliminary
proceedings
commonly
take
place
as
in
the
case
of
a
sperm
whale
only
in
the
latter
instance
the
head
is
cut
off
whole
but
in
the
former
the
lips
and
tongue
are
separately
removed
and
hoisted
on
deck
with
all
the
well
known
black
bone
attached
to
what
is
called
the
crown
piece
but
nothing
like
this
in
the
present
case
had
been
done
the
carcases
of
both
whales
had
dropped
astern
and
the
head
laden
ship
not
a
little
resembled
a
mule
carrying
a
pair
of
overburdening
panniers
meantime
fedallah
was
calmly
eyeing
the
right
whales
head
and
ever
and
anon
glancing
from
the
deep
wrinkles
there
to
the
lines
in
his
own
hand
and
ahab
chanced
so
to
stand
that
the
parsee
occupied
his
shadow
while
if
the
parsees
shadow
was
there
at
all
it
seemed
only
to
blend
with
and
lengthen
ahabs
as
the
crew
toiled
on
laplandish
speculations
were
bandied
among
them
concerning
all
these
passing
things
here
now
are
two
great
whales
laying
their
heads
together
let
us
join
them
and
lay
together
our
own
of
the
grand
order
of
folio
leviathans
the
sperm
whale
and
the
right
whale
are
by
far
the
most
noteworthy
they
are
the
only
whales
regularly
hunted
by
man
to
the
nantucketer
they
present
the
two
extremes
of
all
the
known
varieties
of
the
whale
as
the
external
difference
between
them
is
mainly
observable
in
their
heads
and
as
a
head
of
each
is
this
moment
hanging
from
the
pequods
side
and
as
we
may
freely
go
from
one
to
the
other
by
merely
stepping
across
the
deck
where
i
should
like
to
know
will
you
obtain
a
better
chance
to
study
practical
cetology
than
here
in
the
first
place
you
are
struck
by
the
general
contrast
between
these
heads
both
are
massive
enough
in
all
conscience
but
there
is
a
certain
mathematical
symmetry
in
the
sperm
whales
which
the
right
whales
sadly
lacks
there
is
more
character
in
the
sperm
whales
head
as
you
behold
it
you
involuntarily
yield
the
immense
superiority
to
him
in
point
of
pervading
dignity
in
the
present
instance
too
this
dignity
is
heightened
by
the
pepper
and
salt
color
of
his
head
at
the
summit
giving
token
of
advanced
age
and
large
experience
in
short
he
is
what
the
fishermen
technically
call
a
grey
headed
whale
let
us
now
note
what
is
least
dissimilar
in
these
heads
namely
the
two
most
important
organs
the
eye
and
the
ear
far
back
on
the
side
of
the
head
and
low
down
near
the
angle
of
either
whales
jaw
if
you
narrowly
search
you
will
at
last
see
a
lashless
eye
which
you
would
fancy
to
be
a
young
colts
eye
so
out
of
all
proportion
is
it
to
the
magnitude
of
the
head
now
from
this
peculiar
sideway
position
of
the
whales
eyes
it
is
plain
that
he
can
never
see
an
object
which
is
exactly
ahead
no
more
than
he
can
one
exactly
astern
in
a
word
the
position
of
the
whales
eyes
corresponds
to
that
of
a
mans
ears
and
you
may
fancy
for
yourself
how
it
would
fare
with
you
did
you
sideways
survey
objects
through
your
ears
you
would
find
that
you
could
only
command
some
thirty
degrees
of
vision
in
advance
of
the
straight
side
line
of
sight
and
about
thirty
more
behind
it
if
your
bitterest
foe
were
walking
straight
towards
you
with
dagger
uplifted
in
broad
day
you
would
not
be
able
to
see
him
any
more
than
if
he
were
stealing
upon
you
from
behind
in
a
word
you
would
have
two
backs
so
to
speak
but
at
the
same
time
also
two
fronts
side
fronts
for
what
is
it
that
makes
the
front
of
a
man
what
indeed
but
his
eyes
moreover
while
in
most
other
animals
that
i
can
now
think
of
the
eyes
are
so
planted
as
imperceptibly
to
blend
their
visual
power
so
as
to
produce
one
picture
and
not
two
to
the
brain
the
peculiar
position
of
the
whales
eyes
effectually
divided
as
they
are
by
many
cubic
feet
of
solid
head
which
towers
between
them
like
a
great
mountain
separating
two
lakes
in
valleys
this
of
course
must
wholly
separate
the
impressions
which
each
independent
organ
imparts
the
whale
therefore
must
see
one
distinct
picture
on
this
side
and
another
distinct
picture
on
that
side
while
all
between
must
be
profound
darkness
and
nothingness
to
him
man
may
in
effect
be
said
to
look
out
on
the
world
from
a
sentry
box
with
two
joined
sashes
for
his
window
but
with
the
whale
these
two
sashes
are
separately
inserted
making
two
distinct
windows
but
sadly
impairing
the
view
this
peculiarity
of
the
whales
eyes
is
a
thing
always
to
be
borne
in
mind
in
the
fishery
and
to
be
remembered
by
the
reader
in
some
subsequent
scenes
a
curious
and
most
puzzling
question
might
be
started
concerning
this
visual
matter
as
touching
the
leviathan
but
i
must
be
content
with
a
hint
so
long
as
a
mans
eyes
are
open
in
the
light
the
act
of
seeing
is
involuntary
that
is
he
cannot
then
help
mechanically
seeing
whatever
objects
are
before
him
nevertheless
any
ones
experience
will
teach
him
that
though
he
can
take
in
an
undiscriminating
sweep
of
things
at
one
glance
it
is
quite
impossible
for
him
attentively
and
completely
to
examine
any
two
things
however
large
or
however
small
at
one
and
the
same
instant
of
time
never
mind
if
they
lie
side
by
side
and
touch
each
other
but
if
you
now
come
to
separate
these
two
objects
and
surround
each
by
a
circle
of
profound
darkness
then
in
order
to
see
one
of
them
in
such
a
manner
as
to
bring
your
mind
to
bear
on
it
the
other
will
be
utterly
excluded
from
your
contemporary
consciousness
how
is
it
then
with
the
whale
true
both
his
eyes
in
themselves
must
simultaneously
act
but
is
his
brain
so
much
more
comprehensive
combining
and
subtle
than
mans
that
he
can
at
the
same
moment
of
time
attentively
examine
two
distinct
prospects
one
on
one
side
of
him
and
the
other
in
an
exactly
opposite
direction
if
he
can
then
is
it
as
marvellous
a
thing
in
him
as
if
a
man
were
able
simultaneously
to
go
through
the
demonstrations
of
two
distinct
problems
in
euclid
nor
strictly
investigated
is
there
any
incongruity
in
this
comparison
it
may
be
but
an
idle
whim
but
it
has
always
seemed
to
me
that
the
extraordinary
vacillations
of
movement
displayed
by
some
whales
when
beset
by
three
or
four
boats
the
timidity
and
liability
to
queer
frights
so
common
to
such
whales
i
think
that
all
this
indirectly
proceeds
from
the
helpless
perplexity
of
volition
in
which
their
divided
and
diametrically
opposite
powers
of
vision
must
involve
them
but
the
ear
of
the
whale
is
full
as
curious
as
the
eye
if
you
are
an
entire
stranger
to
their
race
you
might
hunt
over
these
two
heads
for
hours
and
never
discover
that
organ
the
ear
has
no
external
leaf
whatever
and
into
the
hole
itself
you
can
hardly
insert
a
quill
so
wondrously
minute
is
it
it
is
lodged
a
little
behind
the
eye
with
respect
to
their
ears
this
important
difference
is
to
be
observed
between
the
sperm
whale
and
the
right
while
the
ear
of
the
former
has
an
external
opening
that
of
the
latter
is
entirely
and
evenly
covered
over
with
a
membrane
so
as
to
be
quite
imperceptible
from
without
is
it
not
curious
that
so
vast
a
being
as
the
whale
should
see
the
world
through
so
small
an
eye
and
hear
the
thunder
through
an
ear
which
is
smaller
than
a
hares
but
if
his
eyes
were
broad
as
the
lens
of
herschels
great
telescope
and
his
ears
capacious
as
the
porches
of
cathedrals
would
that
make
him
any
longer
of
sight
or
sharper
of
hearing
not
at
all
why
then
do
you
try
to
enlarge
your
mind
subtilize
it
let
us
now
with
whatever
levers
and
steam
engines
we
have
at
hand
cant
over
the
sperm
whales
head
so
that
it
may
lie
bottom
up
then
ascending
by
a
ladder
to
the
summit
have
a
peep
down
the
mouth
and
were
it
not
that
the
body
is
now
completely
separated
from
it
with
a
lantern
we
might
descend
into
the
great
kentucky
mammoth
cave
of
his
stomach
but
let
us
hold
on
here
by
this
tooth
and
look
about
us
where
we
are
what
a
really
beautiful
and
chaste
looking
mouth
from
floor
to
ceiling
lined
or
rather
papered
with
a
glistening
white
membrane
glossy
as
bridal
satins
but
come
out
now
and
look
at
this
portentous
lower
jaw
which
seems
like
the
long
narrow
lid
of
an
immense
snuff
box
with
a
hinge
at
one
end
instead
of
one
side
if
you
pry
it
up
so
as
to
get
it
overhead
and
expose
its
rows
of
teeth
it
seems
a
terrific
portcullis
and
such
alas
it
proves
to
many
a
poor
wight
in
the
fishery
upon
whom
these
spikes
fall
with
impaling
force
but
far
more
terrible
is
it
to
behold
when
fathoms
down
in
the
sea
you
see
some
sulky
whale
floating
there
suspended
with
his
prodigious
jaw
some
fifteen
feet
long
hanging
straight
down
at
right
angles
with
his
body
for
all
the
world
like
a
ships
jib
boom
this
whale
is
not
dead
he
is
only
dispirited
out
of
sorts
perhaps
hypochondriac
and
so
supine
that
the
hinges
of
his
jaw
have
relaxed
leaving
him
there
in
that
ungainly
sort
of
plight
a
reproach
to
all
his
tribe
who
must
no
doubt
imprecate
lock
jaws
upon
him
in
most
cases
this
lower
jaw
being
easily
unhinged
by
a
practised
artist
is
disengaged
and
hoisted
on
deck
for
the
purpose
of
extracting
the
ivory
teeth
and
furnishing
a
supply
of
that
hard
white
whalebone
with
which
the
fishermen
fashion
all
sorts
of
curious
articles
including
canes
umbrella
stocks
and
handles
to
riding
whips
with
a
long
weary
hoist
the
jaw
is
dragged
on
board
as
if
it
were
an
anchor
and
when
the
proper
time
comes
some
few
days
after
the
other
work
queequeg
daggoo
and
tashtego
being
all
accomplished
dentists
are
set
to
drawing
teeth
with
a
keen
cutting
spade
queequeg
lances
the
gums
then
the
jaw
is
lashed
down
to
ringbolts
and
a
tackle
being
rigged
from
aloft
they
drag
out
these
teeth
as
michigan
oxen
drag
stumps
of
old
oaks
out
of
wild
wood
lands
there
are
generally
forty
two
teeth
in
all
in
old
whales
much
worn
down
but
undecayed
nor
filled
after
our
artificial
fashion
the
jaw
is
afterwards
sawn
into
slabs
and
piled
away
like
joists
for
building
houses
crossing
the
deck
let
us
now
have
a
good
long
look
at
the
right
whales
head
as
in
general
shape
the
noble
sperm
whales
head
may
be
compared
to
a
roman
war
chariot
especially
in
front
where
it
is
so
broadly
rounded
so
at
a
broad
view
the
right
whales
head
bears
a
rather
inelegant
resemblance
to
a
gigantic
galliot
toed
shoe
two
hundred
years
ago
an
old
dutch
voyager
likened
its
shape
to
that
of
a
shoemakers
last
and
in
this
same
last
or
shoe
that
old
woman
of
the
nursery
tale
with
the
swarming
brood
might
very
comfortably
be
lodged
she
and
all
her
progeny
but
as
you
come
nearer
to
this
great
head
it
begins
to
assume
different
aspects
according
to
your
point
of
view
if
you
stand
on
its
summit
and
look
at
these
two
f
shaped
spout
holes
you
would
take
the
whole
head
for
an
enormous
bass
viol
and
these
spiracles
the
apertures
in
its
sounding
board
then
again
if
you
fix
your
eye
upon
this
strange
crested
comb
like
incrustation
on
the
top
of
the
mass
this
green
barnacled
thing
which
the
greenlanders
call
the
crown
and
the
southern
fishers
the
bonnet
of
the
right
whale
fixing
your
eyes
solely
on
this
you
would
take
the
head
for
the
trunk
of
some
huge
oak
with
a
birds
nest
in
its
crotch
at
any
rate
when
you
watch
those
live
crabs
that
nestle
here
on
this
bonnet
such
an
idea
will
be
almost
sure
to
occur
to
you
unless
indeed
your
fancy
has
been
fixed
by
the
technical
term
crown
also
bestowed
upon
it
in
which
case
you
will
take
great
interest
in
thinking
how
this
mighty
monster
is
actually
a
diademed
king
of
the
sea
whose
green
crown
has
been
put
together
for
him
in
this
marvellous
manner
but
if
this
whale
be
a
king
he
is
a
very
sulky
looking
fellow
to
grace
a
diadem
look
at
that
hanging
lower
lip
what
a
huge
sulk
and
pout
is
there
a
sulk
and
pout
by
carpenters
measurement
about
twenty
feet
long
and
five
feet
deep
a
sulk
and
pout
that
will
yield
you
some
gallons
of
oil
and
more
a
great
pity
now
that
this
unfortunate
whale
should
be
hare
lipped
the
fissure
is
about
a
foot
across
probably
the
mother
during
an
important
interval
was
sailing
down
the
peruvian
coast
when
earthquakes
caused
the
beach
to
gape
over
this
lip
as
over
a
slippery
threshold
we
now
slide
into
the
mouth
upon
my
word
were
i
at
mackinaw
i
should
take
this
to
be
the
inside
of
an
indian
wigwam
good
lord
is
this
the
road
that
jonah
went
the
roof
is
about
twelve
feet
high
and
runs
to
a
pretty
sharp
angle
as
if
there
were
a
regular
ridge
pole
there
while
these
ribbed
arched
hairy
sides
present
us
with
those
wondrous
half
vertical
scimetar
shaped
slats
of
whale
bone
say
three
hundred
on
a
side
which
depending
from
the
upper
part
of
the
head
or
crown
bone
form
those
venetian
blinds
which
have
elsewhere
been
cursorily
mentioned
the
edges
of
these
bones
are
fringed
with
hairy
fibres
through
which
the
right
whale
strains
the
water
and
in
whose
intricacies
he
retains
the
small
fish
when
open
mouthed
he
goes
through
the
seas
of
brit
in
feeding
time
in
the
central
blinds
of
bone
as
they
stand
in
their
natural
order
there
are
certain
curious
marks
curves
hollows
and
ridges
whereby
some
whalemen
calculate
the
creatures
age
as
the
age
of
an
oak
by
its
circular
rings
though
the
certainty
of
this
criterion
is
far
from
demonstrable
yet
it
has
the
savor
of
analogical
probability
at
any
rate
if
we
yield
to
it
we
must
grant
a
far
greater
age
to
the
right
whale
than
at
first
glance
will
seem
reasonable
in
old
times
there
seem
to
have
prevailed
the
most
curious
fancies
concerning
these
blinds
one
voyager
in
purchas
calls
them
the
wondrous
whiskers
inside
of
the
whales
mouth
another
hogs
bristles
a
third
old
gentleman
in
hackluyt
uses
the
following
elegant
language
there
are
about
two
hundred
and
fifty
fins
growing
on
each
side
of
his
upper
chop
which
arch
over
his
tongue
on
each
side
of
his
mouth
as
every
one
knows
these
same
hogs
bristles
fins
whiskers
blinds
or
whatever
you
please
furnish
to
the
ladies
their
busks
and
other
stiffening
contrivances
but
in
this
particular
the
demand
has
long
been
on
the
decline
it
was
in
queen
annes
time
that
the
bone
was
in
its
glory
the
farthingale
being
then
all
the
fashion
and
as
those
ancient
dames
moved
about
gaily
though
in
the
jaws
of
the
whale
as
you
may
say
even
so
in
a
shower
with
the
like
thoughtlessness
do
we
nowadays
fly
under
the
same
jaws
for
protection
the
umbrella
being
a
tent
spread
over
the
same
bone
but
now
forget
all
about
blinds
and
whiskers
for
a
moment
and
standing
in
the
right
whales
mouth
look
around
you
afresh
seeing
all
these
colonnades
of
bone
so
methodically
ranged
about
would
you
not
think
you
were
inside
the
great
haarlem
organ
and
gazing
upon
its
thousand
pipes
for
a
carpet
to
the
organ
we
have
a
rug
of
the
softest
turkey
the
tongue
which
is
glued
as
it
were
to
the
floor
of
the
mouth
it
is
very
fat
and
tender
and
apt
to
tear
in
pieces
in
hoisting
it
on
deck
this
particular
tongue
now
before
us
at
a
passing
glance
i
should
say
it
was
a
six
barreler
that
is
it
will
yield
you
about
that
amount
of
oil
ere
this
you
must
have
plainly
seen
the
truth
of
what
i
started
with
that
the
sperm
whale
and
the
right
whale
have
almost
entirely
different
heads
to
sum
up
then
in
the
right
whales
there
is
no
great
well
of
sperm
no
ivory
teeth
at
all
no
long
slender
mandible
of
a
lower
jaw
like
the
sperm
whales
nor
in
the
sperm
whale
are
there
any
of
those
blinds
of
bone
no
huge
lower
lip
and
scarcely
anything
of
a
tongue
again
the
right
whale
has
two
external
spout
holes
the
sperm
whale
only
one
look
your
last
now
on
these
venerable
hooded
heads
while
they
yet
lie
together
for
one
will
soon
sink
unrecorded
in
the
sea
the
other
will
not
be
very
long
in
following
can
you
catch
the
expression
of
the
sperm
whales
there
it
is
the
same
he
died
with
only
some
of
the
longer
wrinkles
in
the
forehead
seem
now
faded
away
i
think
his
broad
brow
to
be
full
of
a
prairie
like
placidity
born
of
a
speculative
indifference
as
to
death
but
mark
the
other
heads
expression
see
that
amazing
lower
lip
pressed
by
accident
against
the
vessels
side
so
as
firmly
to
embrace
the
jaw
does
not
this
whole
head
seem
to
speak
of
an
enormous
practical
resolution
in
facing
death
this
right
whale
i
take
to
have
been
a
stoic
the
sperm
whale
a
platonian
who
might
have
taken
up
spinoza
in
his
latter
years
this
reminds
us
that
the
right
whale
really
has
a
sort
of
whisker
or
rather
a
moustache
consisting
of
a
few
scattered
white
hairs
on
the
upper
part
of
the
outer
end
of
the
lower
jaw
sometimes
these
tufts
impart
a
rather
brigandish
expression
to
his
otherwise
solemn
countenance
ere
quitting
for
the
nonce
the
sperm
whales
head
i
would
have
you
as
a
sensible
physiologist
simply
particularly
remark
its
front
aspect
in
all
its
compacted
collectedness
i
would
have
you
investigate
it
now
with
the
sole
view
of
forming
to
yourself
some
unexaggerated
intelligent
estimate
of
whatever
battering
ram
power
may
be
lodged
there
here
is
a
vital
point
for
you
must
either
satisfactorily
settle
this
matter
with
yourself
or
for
ever
remain
an
infidel
as
to
one
of
the
most
appalling
but
not
the
less
true
events
perhaps
anywhere
to
be
found
in
all
recorded
history
you
observe
that
in
the
ordinary
swimming
position
of
the
sperm
whale
the
front
of
his
head
presents
an
almost
wholly
vertical
plane
to
the
water
you
observe
that
the
lower
part
of
that
front
slopes
considerably
backwards
so
as
to
furnish
more
of
a
retreat
for
the
long
socket
which
receives
the
boom
like
lower
jaw
you
observe
that
the
mouth
is
entirely
under
the
head
much
in
the
same
way
indeed
as
though
your
own
mouth
were
entirely
under
your
chin
moreover
you
observe
that
the
whale
has
no
external
nose
and
that
what
nose
he
has
his
spout
hole
is
on
the
top
of
his
head
you
observe
that
his
eyes
and
ears
are
at
the
sides
of
his
head
nearly
one
third
of
his
entire
length
from
the
front
wherefore
you
must
now
have
perceived
that
the
front
of
the
sperm
whales
head
is
a
dead
blind
wall
without
a
single
organ
or
tender
prominence
of
any
sort
whatsoever
furthermore
you
are
now
to
consider
that
only
in
the
extreme
lower
backward
sloping
part
of
the
front
of
the
head
is
there
the
slightest
vestige
of
bone
and
not
till
you
get
near
twenty
feet
from
the
forehead
do
you
come
to
the
full
cranial
development
so
that
this
whole
enormous
boneless
mass
is
as
one
wad
finally
though
as
will
soon
be
revealed
its
contents
partly
comprise
the
most
delicate
oil
yet
you
are
now
to
be
apprised
of
the
nature
of
the
substance
which
so
impregnably
invests
all
that
apparent
effeminacy
in
some
previous
place
i
have
described
to
you
how
the
blubber
wraps
the
body
of
the
whale
as
the
rind
wraps
an
orange
just
so
with
the
head
but
with
this
difference
about
the
head
this
envelope
though
not
so
thick
is
of
a
boneless
toughness
inestimable
by
any
man
who
has
not
handled
it
the
severest
pointed
harpoon
the
sharpest
lance
darted
by
the
strongest
human
arm
impotently
rebounds
from
it
it
is
as
though
the
forehead
of
the
sperm
whale
were
paved
with
horses
hoofs
i
do
not
think
that
any
sensation
lurks
in
it
bethink
yourself
also
of
another
thing
when
two
large
loaded
indiamen
chance
to
crowd
and
crush
towards
each
other
in
the
docks
what
do
the
sailors
do
they
do
not
suspend
between
them
at
the
point
of
coming
contact
any
merely
hard
substance
like
iron
or
wood
no
they
hold
there
a
large
round
wad
of
tow
and
cork
enveloped
in
the
thickest
and
toughest
of
ox
hide
that
bravely
and
uninjured
takes
the
jam
which
would
have
snapped
all
their
oaken
handspikes
and
iron
crowbars
by
itself
this
sufficiently
illustrates
the
obvious
fact
i
drive
at
but
supplementary
to
this
it
has
hypothetically
occurred
to
me
that
as
ordinary
fish
possess
what
is
called
a
swimming
bladder
in
them
capable
at
will
of
distension
or
contraction
and
as
the
sperm
whale
as
far
as
i
know
has
no
such
provision
in
him
considering
too
the
otherwise
inexplicable
manner
in
which
he
now
depresses
his
head
altogether
beneath
the
surface
and
anon
swims
with
it
high
elevated
out
of
the
water
considering
the
unobstructed
elasticity
of
its
envelop
considering
the
unique
interior
of
his
head
it
has
hypothetically
occurred
to
me
i
say
that
those
mystical
lung
celled
honeycombs
there
may
possibly
have
some
hitherto
unknown
and
unsuspected
connexion
with
the
outer
air
so
as
to
be
susceptible
to
atmospheric
distension
and
contraction
if
this
be
so
fancy
the
irresistibleness
of
that
might
to
which
the
most
impalpable
and
destructive
of
all
elements
contributes
now
mark
unerringly
impelling
this
dead
impregnable
uninjurable
wall
and
this
most
buoyant
thing
within
there
swims
behind
it
all
a
mass
of
tremendous
life
only
to
be
adequately
estimated
as
piled
wood
is
by
the
cord
and
all
obedient
to
one
volition
as
the
smallest
insect
so
that
when
i
shall
hereafter
detail
to
you
all
the
specialities
and
concentrations
of
potency
everywhere
lurking
in
this
expansive
monster
when
i
shall
show
you
some
of
his
more
inconsiderable
braining
feats
i
trust
you
will
have
renounced
all
ignorant
incredulity
and
be
ready
to
abide
by
this
that
though
the
sperm
whale
stove
a
passage
through
the
isthmus
of
darien
and
mixed
the
atlantic
with
the
pacific
you
would
not
elevate
one
hair
of
your
eye
brow
for
unless
you
own
the
whale
you
are
but
a
provincial
and
sentimentalist
in
truth
but
clear
truth
is
a
thing
for
salamander
giants
only
to
encounter
how
small
the
chances
for
the
provincials
then
what
befel
the
weakling
youth
lifting
the
dread
goddesss
veil
at
sais
now
comes
the
baling
of
the
case
but
to
comprehend
it
aright
you
must
know
something
of
the
curious
internal
structure
of
the
thing
operated
upon
regarding
the
sperm
whales
head
as
a
solid
oblong
you
may
on
an
inclined
plane
sideways
divide
it
into
two
quoins
whereof
the
lower
is
the
bony
structure
forming
the
cranium
and
jaws
and
the
upper
an
unctuous
mass
wholly
free
from
bones
its
broad
forward
end
forming
the
expanded
vertical
apparent
forehead
of
the
whale
at
the
middle
of
the
forehead
horizontally
subdivide
this
upper
quoin
and
then
you
have
two
almost
equal
parts
which
before
were
naturally
divided
by
an
internal
wall
of
a
thick
tendinous
substance
the
lower
subdivided
part
called
the
junk
is
one
immense
honeycomb
of
oil
formed
by
the
crossing
and
re
crossing
into
ten
thousand
infiltrated
cells
of
tough
elastic
white
fibres
throughout
its
whole
extent
the
upper
part
known
as
the
case
may
be
regarded
as
the
great
heidelburgh
tun
of
the
sperm
whale
and
as
that
famous
great
tierce
is
mystically
carved
in
front
so
the
whales
vast
plaited
forehead
forms
innumerable
strange
devices
for
the
emblematical
adornment
of
his
wondrous
tun
moreover
as
that
of
heidelburgh
was
always
replenished
with
the
most
excellent
of
the
wines
of
the
rhenish
valleys
so
the
tun
of
the
whale
contains
by
far
the
most
precious
of
all
his
oily
vintages
namely
the
highly
prized
spermaceti
in
its
absolutely
pure
limpid
and
odoriferous
state
nor
is
this
precious
substance
found
unalloyed
in
any
other
part
of
the
creature
though
in
life
it
remains
perfectly
fluid
yet
upon
exposure
to
the
air
after
death
it
soon
begins
to
concrete
sending
forth
beautiful
crystalline
shoots
as
when
the
first
thin
delicate
ice
is
just
forming
in
water
a
large
whales
case
generally
yields
about
five
hundred
gallons
of
sperm
though
from
unavoidable
circumstances
considerable
of
it
is
spilled
leaks
and
dribbles
away
or
is
otherwise
irrevocably
lost
in
the
ticklish
business
of
securing
what
you
can
i
know
not
with
what
fine
and
costly
material
the
heidelburgh
tun
was
coated
within
but
in
superlative
richness
that
coating
could
not
possibly
have
compared
with
the
silken
pearl
colored
membrane
like
the
line
of
a
fine
pelisse
forming
the
inner
surface
of
the
sperm
whales
case
it
will
have
been
seen
that
the
heidelburgh
tun
of
the
sperm
whale
embraces
the
entire
length
of
the
entire
top
of
the
head
and
since
as
has
been
elsewhere
set
forth
the
head
embraces
one
third
of
the
whole
length
of
the
creature
then
setting
that
length
down
at
eighty
feet
for
a
good
sized
whale
you
have
more
than
twenty
six
feet
for
the
depth
of
the
tun
when
it
is
lengthwise
hoisted
up
and
down
against
a
ships
side
as
in
decapitating
the
whale
the
operators
instrument
is
brought
close
to
the
spot
where
an
entrance
is
subsequently
forced
into
the
spermaceti
magazine
he
has
therefore
to
be
uncommonly
heedful
lest
a
careless
untimely
stroke
should
invade
the
sanctuary
and
wastingly
let
out
its
invaluable
contents
it
is
this
decapitated
end
of
the
head
also
which
is
at
last
elevated
out
of
the
water
and
retained
in
that
position
by
the
enormous
cutting
tackles
whose
hempen
combinations
on
one
side
make
quite
a
wilderness
of
ropes
in
that
quarter
thus
much
being
said
attend
now
i
pray
you
to
that
marvellous
and
in
this
particular
instance
almost
fatal
operation
whereby
the
sperm
whales
great
heidelburgh
tun
is
tapped
quoin
is
not
a
euclidean
term
it
belongs
to
the
pure
nautical
mathematics
i
know
not
that
it
has
been
defined
before
a
quoin
is
a
solid
which
differs
from
a
wedge
in
having
its
sharp
end
formed
by
the
steep
inclination
of
one
side
instead
of
the
mutual
tapering
of
both
sides
nimble
as
a
cat
tashtego
mounts
aloft
and
without
altering
his
erect
posture
runs
straight
out
upon
the
overhanging
main
yard
arm
to
the
part
where
it
exactly
projects
over
the
hoisted
tun
he
has
carried
with
him
a
light
tackle
called
a
whip
consisting
of
only
two
parts
travelling
through
a
single
sheaved
block
securing
this
block
so
that
it
hangs
down
from
the
yard
arm
he
swings
one
end
of
the
rope
till
it
is
caught
and
firmly
held
by
a
hand
on
deck
then
hand
over
hand
down
the
other
part
the
indian
drops
through
the
air
till
dexterously
he
lands
on
the
summit
of
the
head
there
still
high
elevated
above
the
rest
of
the
company
to
whom
he
vivaciously
cries
he
seems
some
turkish
muezzin
calling
the
good
people
to
prayers
from
the
top
of
a
tower
a
short
handled
sharp
spade
being
sent
up
to
him
he
diligently
searches
for
the
proper
place
to
begin
breaking
into
the
tun
in
this
business
he
proceeds
very
heedfully
like
a
treasure
hunter
in
some
old
house
sounding
the
walls
to
find
where
the
gold
is
masoned
in
by
the
time
this
cautious
search
is
over
a
stout
iron
bound
bucket
precisely
like
a
well
bucket
has
been
attached
to
one
end
of
the
whip
while
the
other
end
being
stretched
across
the
deck
is
there
held
by
two
or
three
alert
hands
these
last
now
hoist
the
bucket
within
grasp
of
the
indian
to
whom
another
person
has
reached
up
a
very
long
pole
inserting
this
pole
into
the
bucket
tashtego
downward
guides
the
bucket
into
the
tun
till
it
entirely
disappears
then
giving
the
word
to
the
seamen
at
the
whip
up
comes
the
bucket
again
all
bubbling
like
a
dairy
maids
pail
of
new
milk
carefully
lowered
from
its
height
the
full
freighted
vessel
is
caught
by
an
appointed
hand
and
quickly
emptied
into
a
large
tub
then
re
mounting
aloft
it
again
goes
through
the
same
round
until
the
deep
cistern
will
yield
no
more
towards
the
end
tashtego
has
to
ram
his
long
pole
harder
and
harder
and
deeper
and
deeper
into
the
tun
until
some
twenty
feet
of
the
pole
have
gone
down
now
the
people
of
the
pequod
had
been
baling
some
time
in
this
way
several
tubs
had
been
filled
with
the
fragrant
sperm
when
all
at
once
a
queer
accident
happened
whether
it
was
that
tashtego
that
wild
indian
was
so
heedless
and
reckless
as
to
let
go
for
a
moment
his
one
handed
hold
on
the
great
cabled
tackles
suspending
the
head
or
whether
the
place
where
he
stood
was
so
treacherous
and
oozy
or
whether
the
evil
one
himself
would
have
it
to
fall
out
so
without
stating
his
particular
reasons
how
it
was
exactly
there
is
no
telling
now
but
on
a
sudden
as
the
eightieth
or
ninetieth
bucket
came
suckingly
up
my
god
poor
tashtego
like
the
twin
reciprocating
bucket
in
a
veritable
well
dropped
head
foremost
down
into
this
great
tun
of
heidelburgh
and
with
a
horrible
oily
gurgling
went
clean
out
of
sight
man
overboard
cried
daggoo
who
amid
the
general
consternation
first
came
to
his
senses
swing
the
bucket
this
way
and
putting
one
foot
into
it
so
as
the
better
to
secure
his
slippery
hand
hold
on
the
whip
itself
the
hoisters
ran
him
high
up
to
the
top
of
the
head
almost
before
tashtego
could
have
reached
its
interior
bottom
meantime
there
was
a
terrible
tumult
looking
over
the
side
they
saw
the
before
lifeless
head
throbbing
and
heaving
just
below
the
surface
of
the
sea
as
if
that
moment
seized
with
some
momentous
idea
whereas
it
was
only
the
poor
indian
unconsciously
revealing
by
those
struggles
the
perilous
depth
to
which
he
had
sunk
at
this
instant
while
daggoo
on
the
summit
of
the
head
was
clearing
the
whip
which
had
somehow
got
foul
of
the
great
cutting
tackles
a
sharp
cracking
noise
was
heard
and
to
the
unspeakable
horror
of
all
one
of
the
two
enormous
hooks
suspending
the
head
tore
out
and
with
a
vast
vibration
the
enormous
mass
sideways
swung
till
the
drunk
ship
reeled
and
shook
as
if
smitten
by
an
iceberg
the
one
remaining
hook
upon
which
the
entire
strain
now
depended
seemed
every
instant
to
be
on
the
point
of
giving
way
an
event
still
more
likely
from
the
violent
motions
of
the
head
come
down
come
down
yelled
the
seamen
to
daggoo
but
with
one
hand
holding
on
to
the
heavy
tackles
so
that
if
the
head
should
drop
he
would
still
remain
suspended
the
negro
having
cleared
the
foul
line
rammed
down
the
bucket
into
the
now
collapsed
well
meaning
that
the
buried
harpooneer
should
grasp
it
and
so
be
hoisted
out
in
heavens
name
man
cried
stubb
are
you
ramming
home
a
cartridge
there
avast
how
will
that
help
him
jamming
that
iron
bound
bucket
on
top
of
his
head
avast
will
ye
stand
clear
of
the
tackle
cried
a
voice
like
the
bursting
of
a
rocket
almost
in
the
same
instant
with
a
thunder
boom
the
enormous
mass
dropped
into
the
sea
like
niagaras
table
rock
into
the
whirlpool
the
suddenly
relieved
hull
rolled
away
from
it
to
far
down
her
glittering
copper
and
all
caught
their
breath
as
half
swinging
now
over
the
sailors
heads
and
now
over
the
water
daggoo
through
a
thick
mist
of
spray
was
dimly
beheld
clinging
to
the
pendulous
tackles
while
poor
buried
alive
tashtego
was
sinking
utterly
down
to
the
bottom
of
the
sea
but
hardly
had
the
blinding
vapor
cleared
away
when
a
naked
figure
with
a
boarding
sword
in
its
hand
was
for
one
swift
moment
seen
hovering
over
the
bulwarks
the
next
a
loud
splash
announced
that
my
brave
queequeg
had
dived
to
the
rescue
one
packed
rush
was
made
to
the
side
and
every
eye
counted
every
ripple
as
moment
followed
moment
and
no
sign
of
either
the
sinker
or
the
diver
could
be
seen
some
hands
now
jumped
into
a
boat
alongside
and
pushed
a
little
off
from
the
ship
ha
ha
cried
daggoo
all
at
once
from
his
now
quiet
swinging
perch
overhead
and
looking
further
off
from
the
side
we
saw
an
arm
thrust
upright
from
the
blue
waves
a
sight
strange
to
see
as
an
arm
thrust
forth
from
the
grass
over
a
grave
both
both
it
is
both
cried
daggoo
again
with
a
joyful
shout
and
soon
after
queequeg
was
seen
boldly
striking
out
with
one
hand
and
with
the
other
clutching
the
long
hair
of
the
indian
drawn
into
the
waiting
boat
they
were
quickly
brought
to
the
deck
but
tashtego
was
long
in
coming
to
and
queequeg
did
not
look
very
brisk
now
how
had
this
noble
rescue
been
accomplished
why
diving
after
the
slowly
descending
head
queequeg
with
his
keen
sword
had
made
side
lunges
near
its
bottom
so
as
to
scuttle
a
large
hole
there
then
dropping
his
sword
had
thrust
his
long
arm
far
inwards
and
upwards
and
so
hauled
out
our
poor
tash
by
the
head
he
averred
that
upon
first
thrusting
in
for
him
a
leg
was
presented
but
well
knowing
that
that
was
not
as
it
ought
to
be
and
might
occasion
great
trouble
he
had
thrust
back
the
leg
and
by
a
dexterous
heave
and
toss
had
wrought
a
somerset
upon
the
indian
so
that
with
the
next
trial
he
came
forth
in
the
good
old
way
head
foremost
as
for
the
great
head
itself
that
was
doing
as
well
as
could
be
expected
and
thus
through
the
courage
and
great
skill
in
obstetrics
of
queequeg
the
deliverance
or
rather
delivery
of
tashtego
was
successfully
accomplished
in
the
teeth
too
of
the
most
untoward
and
apparently
hopeless
impediments
which
is
a
lesson
by
no
means
to
be
forgotten
midwifery
should
be
taught
in
the
same
course
with
fencing
and
boxing
riding
and
rowing
i
know
that
this
queer
adventure
of
the
gay
headers
will
be
sure
to
seem
incredible
to
some
landsmen
though
they
themselves
may
have
either
seen
or
heard
of
some
ones
falling
into
a
cistern
ashore
an
accident
which
not
seldom
happens
and
with
much
less
reason
too
than
the
indians
considering
the
exceeding
slipperiness
of
the
curb
of
the
sperm
whales
well
but
peradventure
it
may
be
sagaciously
urged
how
is
this
we
thought
the
tissued
infiltrated
head
of
the
sperm
whale
was
the
lightest
and
most
corky
part
about
him
and
yet
thou
makest
it
sink
in
an
element
of
a
far
greater
specific
gravity
than
itself
we
have
thee
there
not
at
all
but
i
have
ye
for
at
the
time
poor
tash
fell
in
the
case
had
been
nearly
emptied
of
its
lighter
contents
leaving
little
but
the
dense
tendinous
wall
of
the
well
a
double
welded
hammered
substance
as
i
have
before
said
much
heavier
than
the
sea
water
and
a
lump
of
which
sinks
in
it
like
lead
almost
but
the
tendency
to
rapid
sinking
in
this
substance
was
in
the
present
instance
materially
counteracted
by
the
other
parts
of
the
head
remaining
undetached
from
it
so
that
it
sank
very
slowly
and
deliberately
indeed
affording
queequeg
a
fair
chance
for
performing
his
agile
obstetrics
on
the
run
as
you
may
say
yes
it
was
a
running
delivery
so
it
was
now
had
tashtego
perished
in
that
head
it
had
been
a
very
precious
perishing
smothered
in
the
very
whitest
and
daintiest
of
fragrant
spermaceti
coffined
hearsed
and
tombed
in
the
secret
inner
chamber
and
sanctum
sanctorum
of
the
whale
only
one
sweeter
end
can
readily
be
recalled
the
delicious
death
of
an
ohio
honey
hunter
who
seeking
honey
in
the
crotch
of
a
hollow
tree
found
such
exceeding
store
of
it
that
leaning
too
far
over
it
sucked
him
in
so
that
he
died
embalmed
how
many
think
ye
have
likewise
fallen
into
platos
honey
head
and
sweetly
perished
there
to
scan
the
lines
of
his
face
or
feel
the
bumps
on
the
head
of
this
leviathan
this
is
a
thing
which
no
physiognomist
or
phrenologist
has
as
yet
undertaken
such
an
enterprise
would
seem
almost
as
hopeful
as
for
lavater
to
have
scrutinized
the
wrinkles
on
the
rock
of
gibraltar
or
for
gall
to
have
mounted
a
ladder
and
manipulated
the
dome
of
the
pantheon
still
in
that
famous
work
of
his
lavater
not
only
treats
of
the
various
faces
of
men
but
also
attentively
studies
the
faces
of
horses
birds
serpents
and
fish
and
dwells
in
detail
upon
the
modifications
of
expression
discernible
therein
nor
have
gall
and
his
disciple
spurzheim
failed
to
throw
out
some
hints
touching
the
phrenological
characteristics
of
other
beings
than
man
therefore
though
i
am
but
ill
qualified
for
a
pioneer
in
the
application
of
these
two
semi
sciences
to
the
whale
i
will
do
my
endeavor
i
try
all
things
i
achieve
what
i
can
physiognomically
regarded
the
sperm
whale
is
an
anomalous
creature
he
has
no
proper
nose
and
since
the
nose
is
the
central
and
most
conspicuous
of
the
features
and
since
it
perhaps
most
modifies
and
finally
controls
their
combined
expression
hence
it
would
seem
that
its
entire
absence
as
an
external
appendage
must
very
largely
affect
the
countenance
of
the
whale
for
as
in
landscape
gardening
a
spire
cupola
monument
or
tower
of
some
sort
is
deemed
almost
indispensable
to
the
completion
of
the
scene
so
no
face
can
be
physiognomically
in
keeping
without
the
elevated
open
work
belfry
of
the
nose
dash
the
nose
from
phidiass
marble
jove
and
what
a
sorry
remainder
nevertheless
leviathan
is
of
so
mighty
a
magnitude
all
his
proportions
are
so
stately
that
the
same
deficiency
which
in
the
sculptured
jove
were
hideous
in
him
is
no
blemish
at
all
nay
it
is
an
added
grandeur
a
nose
to
the
whale
would
have
been
impertinent
as
on
your
physiognomical
voyage
you
sail
round
his
vast
head
in
your
jolly
boat
your
noble
conceptions
of
him
are
never
insulted
by
the
reflection
that
he
has
a
nose
to
be
pulled
a
pestilent
conceit
which
so
often
will
insist
upon
obtruding
even
when
beholding
the
mightiest
royal
beadle
on
his
throne
in
some
particulars
perhaps
the
most
imposing
physiognomical
view
to
be
had
of
the
sperm
whale
is
that
of
the
full
front
of
his
head
this
aspect
is
sublime
in
thought
a
fine
human
brow
is
like
the
east
when
troubled
with
the
morning
in
the
repose
of
the
pasture
the
curled
brow
of
the
bull
has
a
touch
of
the
grand
in
it
pushing
heavy
cannon
up
mountain
defiles
the
elephants
brow
is
majestic
human
or
animal
the
mystical
brow
is
as
that
great
golden
seal
affixed
by
the
german
emperors
to
their
decrees
it
signifies
god
done
this
day
by
my
hand
but
in
most
creatures
nay
in
man
himself
very
often
the
brow
is
but
a
mere
strip
of
alpine
land
lying
along
the
snow
line
few
are
the
foreheads
which
like
shakespeares
or
melancthons
rise
so
high
and
descend
so
low
that
the
eyes
themselves
seem
clear
eternal
tideless
mountain
lakes
and
all
above
them
in
the
foreheads
wrinkles
you
seem
to
track
the
antlered
thoughts
descending
there
to
drink
as
the
highland
hunters
track
the
snow
prints
of
the
deer
but
in
the
great
sperm
whale
this
high
and
mighty
god
like
dignity
inherent
in
the
brow
is
so
immensely
amplified
that
gazing
on
it
in
that
full
front
view
you
feel
the
deity
and
the
dread
powers
more
forcibly
than
in
beholding
any
other
object
in
living
nature
for
you
see
no
one
point
precisely
not
one
distinct
feature
is
revealed
no
nose
eyes
ears
or
mouth
no
face
he
has
none
proper
nothing
but
that
one
broad
firmament
of
a
forehead
pleated
with
riddles
dumbly
lowering
with
the
doom
of
boats
and
ships
and
men
nor
in
profile
does
this
wondrous
brow
diminish
though
that
way
viewed
its
grandeur
does
not
domineer
upon
you
so
in
profile
you
plainly
perceive
that
horizontal
semi
crescentic
depression
in
the
foreheads
middle
which
in
man
is
lavaters
mark
of
genius
but
how
genius
in
the
sperm
whale
has
the
sperm
whale
ever
written
a
book
spoken
a
speech
no
his
great
genius
is
declared
in
his
doing
nothing
particular
to
prove
it
it
is
moreover
declared
in
his
pyramidical
silence
and
this
reminds
me
that
had
the
great
sperm
whale
been
known
to
the
young
orient
world
he
would
have
been
deified
by
their
child
magian
thoughts
they
deified
the
crocodile
of
the
nile
because
the
crocodile
is
tongueless
and
the
sperm
whale
has
no
tongue
or
as
least
it
is
so
exceedingly
small
as
to
be
incapable
of
protrusion
if
hereafter
any
highly
cultured
poetical
nation
shall
lure
back
to
their
birth
right
the
merry
may
day
gods
of
old
and
livingly
enthrone
them
again
in
the
now
egotistical
sky
in
the
now
unhaunted
hill
then
be
sure
exalted
to
joves
high
seat
the
great
sperm
whale
shall
lord
it
champollion
deciphered
the
wrinkled
granite
hieroglyphics
but
there
is
no
champollion
to
decipher
the
egypt
of
every
mans
and
every
beings
face
physiognomy
like
every
other
human
science
is
but
a
passing
fable
if
then
sir
william
jones
who
read
in
thirty
languages
could
not
read
the
simplest
peasants
face
in
its
profounder
and
more
subtle
meanings
how
may
unlettered
ishmael
hope
to
read
the
awful
chaldee
of
the
sperm
whales
brow
i
but
put
that
brow
before
you
read
if
it
you
can
if
the
sperm
whale
be
physiognomically
a
sphinx
to
the
phrenologist
his
brain
seems
that
geometrical
circle
which
it
is
impossible
to
square
in
the
full
grown
creature
the
skull
will
measure
at
least
twenty
feet
in
length
unhinge
the
lower
jaw
and
the
side
view
of
this
skull
is
as
the
side
view
of
a
moderately
inclined
plane
resting
throughout
on
a
level
base
but
in
life
as
we
have
elsewhere
seen
this
inclined
plane
is
angularly
filled
up
and
almost
squared
by
the
enormous
superincumbent
mass
of
the
junk
and
sperm
at
the
high
end
the
skull
forms
a
crater
to
bed
that
part
of
the
mass
while
under
the
long
floor
of
this
crater
in
another
cavity
seldom
exceeding
ten
inches
in
length
and
as
many
in
depth
reposes
the
mere
handful
of
this
monsters
brain
the
brain
is
at
least
twenty
feet
from
his
apparent
forehead
in
life
it
is
hidden
away
behind
its
vast
outworks
like
the
innermost
citadel
within
the
amplified
fortifications
of
quebec
so
like
a
choice
casket
is
it
secreted
in
him
that
i
have
known
some
whalemen
who
peremptorily
deny
that
the
sperm
whale
has
any
other
brain
than
that
palpable
semblance
of
one
formed
by
the
cubic
yards
of
his
sperm
magazine
lying
in
strange
folds
courses
and
convolutions
to
their
apprehensions
it
seems
more
in
keeping
with
the
idea
of
his
general
might
to
regard
that
mystic
part
of
him
as
the
seat
of
his
intelligence
it
is
plain
then
that
phrenologically
the
head
of
this
leviathan
in
the
creatures
living
intact
state
is
an
entire
delusion
as
for
his
true
brain
you
can
then
see
no
indications
of
it
nor
feel
any
the
whale
like
all
things
that
are
mighty
wears
a
false
brow
to
the
common
world
if
you
unload
his
skull
of
its
spermy
heaps
and
then
take
a
rear
view
of
its
rear
end
which
is
the
high
end
you
will
be
struck
by
its
resemblance
to
the
human
skull
beheld
in
the
same
situation
and
from
the
same
point
of
view
indeed
place
this
reversed
skull
scaled
down
to
the
human
magnitude
among
a
plate
of
mens
skulls
and
you
would
involuntarily
confound
it
with
them
and
remarking
the
depressions
on
one
part
of
its
summit
in
phrenological
phrase
you
would
say
this
man
had
no
self
esteem
and
no
veneration
and
by
those
negations
considered
along
with
the
affirmative
fact
of
his
prodigious
bulk
and
power
you
can
best
form
to
yourself
the
truest
though
not
the
most
exhilarating
conception
of
what
the
most
exalted
potency
is
but
if
from
the
comparative
dimensions
of
the
whales
proper
brain
you
deem
it
incapable
of
being
adequately
charted
then
i
have
another
idea
for
you
if
you
attentively
regard
almost
any
quadrupeds
spine
you
will
be
struck
with
the
resemblance
of
its
vertebrae
to
a
strung
necklace
of
dwarfed
skulls
all
bearing
rudimental
resemblance
to
the
skull
proper
it
is
a
german
conceit
that
the
vertebrae
are
absolutely
undeveloped
skulls
but
the
curious
external
resemblance
i
take
it
the
germans
were
not
the
first
men
to
perceive
a
foreign
friend
once
pointed
it
out
to
me
in
the
skeleton
of
a
foe
he
had
slain
and
with
the
vertebrae
of
which
he
was
inlaying
in
a
sort
of
basso
relievo
the
beaked
prow
of
his
canoe
now
i
consider
that
the
phrenologists
have
omitted
an
important
thing
in
not
pushing
their
investigations
from
the
cerebellum
through
the
spinal
canal
for
i
believe
that
much
of
a
mans
character
will
be
found
betokened
in
his
backbone
i
would
rather
feel
your
spine
than
your
skull
whoever
you
are
a
thin
joist
of
a
spine
never
yet
upheld
a
full
and
noble
soul
i
rejoice
in
my
spine
as
in
the
firm
audacious
staff
of
that
flag
which
i
fling
half
out
to
the
world
apply
this
spinal
branch
of
phrenology
to
the
sperm
whale
his
cranial
cavity
is
continuous
with
the
first
neck
vertebra
and
in
that
vertebra
the
bottom
of
the
spinal
canal
will
measure
ten
inches
across
being
eight
in
height
and
of
a
triangular
figure
with
the
base
downwards
as
it
passes
through
the
remaining
vertebrae
the
canal
tapers
in
size
but
for
a
considerable
distance
remains
of
large
capacity
now
of
course
this
canal
is
filled
with
much
the
same
strangely
fibrous
substance
the
spinal
cord
as
the
brain
and
directly
communicates
with
the
brain
and
what
is
still
more
for
many
feet
after
emerging
from
the
brains
cavity
the
spinal
cord
remains
of
an
undecreasing
girth
almost
equal
to
that
of
the
brain
under
all
these
circumstances
would
it
be
unreasonable
to
survey
and
map
out
the
whales
spine
phrenologically
for
viewed
in
this
light
the
wonderful
comparative
smallness
of
his
brain
proper
is
more
than
compensated
by
the
wonderful
comparative
magnitude
of
his
spinal
cord
but
leaving
this
hint
to
operate
as
it
may
with
the
phrenologists
i
would
merely
assume
the
spinal
theory
for
a
moment
in
reference
to
the
sperm
whales
hump
this
august
hump
if
i
mistake
not
rises
over
one
of
the
larger
vertebrae
and
is
therefore
in
some
sort
the
outer
convex
mould
of
it
from
its
relative
situation
then
i
should
call
this
high
hump
the
organ
of
firmness
or
indomitableness
in
the
sperm
whale
and
that
the
great
monster
is
indomitable
you
will
yet
have
reason
to
know
the
predestinated
day
arrived
and
we
duly
met
the
ship
jungfrau
derick
de
deer
master
of
bremen
at
one
time
the
greatest
whaling
people
in
the
world
the
dutch
and
germans
are
now
among
the
least
but
here
and
there
at
very
wide
intervals
of
latitude
and
longitude
you
still
occasionally
meet
with
their
flag
in
the
pacific
for
some
reason
the
jungfrau
seemed
quite
eager
to
pay
her
respects
while
yet
some
distance
from
the
pequod
she
rounded
to
and
dropping
a
boat
her
captain
was
impelled
towards
us
impatiently
standing
in
the
bows
instead
of
the
stern
what
has
he
in
his
hand
there
cried
starbuck
pointing
to
something
wavingly
held
by
the
german
impossible
a
lamp
feeder
not
that
said
stubb
no
no
its
a
coffee
pot
mr
starbuck
hes
coming
off
to
make
us
our
coffee
is
the
yarman
dont
you
see
that
big
tin
can
there
alongside
of
him
thats
his
boiling
water
oh
hes
all
right
is
the
yarman
go
along
with
you
cried
flask
its
a
lamp
feeder
and
an
oil
can
hes
out
of
oil
and
has
come
a
begging
however
curious
it
may
seem
for
an
oil
ship
to
be
borrowing
oil
on
the
whale
ground
and
however
much
it
may
invertedly
contradict
the
old
proverb
about
carrying
coals
to
newcastle
yet
sometimes
such
a
thing
really
happens
and
in
the
present
case
captain
derick
de
deer
did
indubitably
conduct
a
lamp
feeder
as
flask
did
declare
as
he
mounted
the
deck
ahab
abruptly
accosted
him
without
at
all
heeding
what
he
had
in
his
hand
but
in
his
broken
lingo
the
german
soon
evinced
his
complete
ignorance
of
the
white
whale
immediately
turning
the
conversation
to
his
lamp
feeder
and
oil
can
with
some
remarks
touching
his
having
to
turn
into
his
hammock
at
night
in
profound
darkness
his
last
drop
of
bremen
oil
being
gone
and
not
a
single
flying
fish
yet
captured
to
supply
the
deficiency
concluding
by
hinting
that
his
ship
was
indeed
what
in
the
fishery
is
technically
called
a
clean
one
that
is
an
empty
one
well
deserving
the
name
of
jungfrau
or
the
virgin
his
necessities
supplied
derick
departed
but
he
had
not
gained
his
ships
side
when
whales
were
almost
simultaneously
raised
from
the
mast
heads
of
both
vessels
and
so
eager
for
the
chase
was
derick
that
without
pausing
to
put
his
oil
can
and
lamp
feeder
aboard
he
slewed
round
his
boat
and
made
after
the
leviathan
lamp
feeders
now
the
game
having
risen
to
leeward
he
and
the
other
three
german
boats
that
soon
followed
him
had
considerably
the
start
of
the
pequods
keels
there
were
eight
whales
an
average
pod
aware
of
their
danger
they
were
going
all
abreast
with
great
speed
straight
before
the
wind
rubbing
their
flanks
as
closely
as
so
many
spans
of
horses
in
harness
they
left
a
great
wide
wake
as
though
continually
unrolling
a
great
wide
parchment
upon
the
sea
full
in
this
rapid
wake
and
many
fathoms
in
the
rear
swam
a
huge
humped
old
bull
which
by
his
comparatively
slow
progress
as
well
as
by
the
unusual
yellowish
incrustations
overgrowing
him
seemed
afflicted
with
the
jaundice
or
some
other
infirmity
whether
this
whale
belonged
to
the
pod
in
advance
seemed
questionable
for
it
is
not
customary
for
such
venerable
leviathans
to
be
at
all
social
nevertheless
he
stuck
to
their
wake
though
indeed
their
back
water
must
have
retarded
him
because
the
white
bone
or
swell
at
his
broad
muzzle
was
a
dashed
one
like
the
swell
formed
when
two
hostile
currents
meet
his
spout
was
short
slow
and
laborious
coming
forth
with
a
choking
sort
of
gush
and
spending
itself
in
torn
shreds
followed
by
strange
subterranean
commotions
in
him
which
seemed
to
have
egress
at
his
other
buried
extremity
causing
the
waters
behind
him
to
upbubble
whos
got
some
paregoric
said
stubb
he
has
the
stomach
ache
im
afraid
lord
think
of
having
half
an
acre
of
stomach
ache
adverse
winds
are
holding
mad
christmas
in
him
boys
its
the
first
foul
wind
i
ever
knew
to
blow
from
astern
but
look
did
ever
whale
yaw
so
before
it
must
be
hes
lost
his
tiller
as
an
overladen
indiaman
bearing
down
the
hindostan
coast
with
a
deck
load
of
frightened
horses
careens
buries
rolls
and
wallows
on
her
way
so
did
this
old
whale
heave
his
aged
bulk
and
now
and
then
partly
turning
over
on
his
cumbrous
rib
ends
expose
the
cause
of
his
devious
wake
in
the
unnatural
stump
of
his
starboard
fin
whether
he
had
lost
that
fin
in
battle
or
had
been
born
without
it
it
were
hard
to
say
only
wait
a
bit
old
chap
and
ill
give
ye
a
sling
for
that
wounded
arm
cried
cruel
flask
pointing
to
the
whale
line
near
him
mind
he
dont
sling
thee
with
it
cried
starbuck
give
way
or
the
german
will
have
him
with
one
intent
all
the
combined
rival
boats
were
pointed
for
this
one
fish
because
not
only
was
he
the
largest
and
therefore
the
most
valuable
whale
but
he
was
nearest
to
them
and
the
other
whales
were
going
with
such
great
velocity
moreover
as
almost
to
defy
pursuit
for
the
time
at
this
juncture
the
pequods
keel
had
shot
by
the
three
german
boats
last
lowered
but
from
the
great
start
he
had
had
dericks
boat
still
led
the
chase
though
every
moment
neared
by
his
foreign
rivals
the
only
thing
they
feared
was
that
from
being
already
so
nigh
to
his
mark
he
would
be
enabled
to
dart
his
iron
before
they
could
completely
overtake
and
pass
him
as
for
derick
he
seemed
quite
confident
that
this
would
be
the
case
and
occasionally
with
a
deriding
gesture
shook
his
lamp
feeder
at
the
other
boats
the
ungracious
and
ungrateful
dog
cried
starbuck
he
mocks
and
dares
me
with
the
very
poor
box
i
filled
for
him
not
five
minutes
ago
then
in
his

in
the
act
of
pitching

at
the
advancing
boats
and
also
his
oil
can
perhaps
with
the
double
view
of
retarding
his
rivals
way
and
at
the
same
time
economically
accelerating
his

cried
the
indian
fiercely
but
evenly
incited
by
the
taunts
of
the
german
the
pequods
three
boats
now
began
ranging
almost
abreast
and
so
disposed
momentarily
neared
him
in
that
fine
loose
chivalrous
attitude
of
the
headsman
when
drawing
near
to
his
prey
the
three
mates
stood
up
proudly
occasionally
backing
the
after
oarsman
with
an
exhilarating
cry
of
there
she
slides
now
hurrah
for
the
white
ash
breeze
down
with
the
yarman

over
him
but
so
decided
an
original
start

had
that
spite
of
all
their
gallantry
he
would
have
proved
the
victor
in
this
race
had
not
a
righteous
judgment
descended
upon
him
in
a
crab
which
caught
the
blade
of
his
midship
oarsman
while
this
clumsy
lubber
was
striving
to
free
his
white
ash
and
while
in
consequence
dericks
boat
was
nigh
to
capsizing
and
he
thundering
away
at
his
men
in
a
mighty
rage
that
was
a
good
time
for
starbuck
stubb
and
flask
with
a
shout
they
took
a
mortal
start
forwards
and
slantingly
ranged
up
on
the
germans
quarter
an
instant
more
and
all
four
boats
were
diagonically
in
the
whales
immediate
wake
while
stretching
from
them
on
both
sides
was
the
foaming
swell
that
he
made
it
was
a
terrific
most
pitiable
and
maddening
sight
the
whale
was
now
going
head
out
and
sending
his
spout
before
him
in
a
continual
tormented
jet
while
his
one
poor
fin
beat
his
side
in
an
agony
of
fright
now
to
this
hand
now
to
that
he
yawed
in
his
faltering
flight
and
still
at
every
billow
that
he
broke
he
spasmodically
sank
in
the
sea
or
sideways
rolled
towards
the
sky
his
one
beating
fin
so
have
i
seen
a
bird
with
clipped
wing
making
affrighted
broken
circles
in
the
air
vainly
striving
to
escape
the
piratical
hawks
but
the
bird
has
a
voice
and
with
plaintive
cries
will
make
known
her
fear
but
the
fear
of
this
vast
dumb
brute
of
the
sea
was
chained
up
and
enchanted
in
him
he
had
no
voice
save
that
choking
respiration
through
his
spiracle
and
this
made
the
sight
of
him
unspeakably
pitiable
while
still
in
his
amazing
bulk
portcullis
jaw
and
omnipotent
tail
there
was
enough
to
appal
the
stoutest
man
who
so
pitied
seeing
now
that
but
a
very
few
moments
more
would
give
the
pequods
boats
the
advantage
and
rather
than
be
thus
foiled
of
his
game
derick
chose
to
hazard
what
to
him
must
have
seemed
a
most
unusually
long
dart
ere
the
last
chance
would
for
ever
escape
but
no
sooner
did
his
harpooneer
stand
up
for
the
stroke
than
all
three
tigers
queequeg
tashtego
daggoo
instinctively
sprang
to
their
feet
and
standing
in
a
diagonal
row
simultaneously
pointed
their
barbs
and
darted
over
the
head
of
the
german
harpooneer
their
three
nantucket
irons
entered
the
whale
blinding
vapors
of
foam
and
white
fire
the
three
boats
in
the
first
fury
of
the
whales
headlong
rush
bumped
the
germans
aside
with
such
force
that
both
derick
and
his
baffled
harpooneer
were
spilled
out
and
sailed
over
by
the
three
flying
keels
dont
be
afraid
my
butter
boxes
cried
stubb
casting
a
passing
glance
upon
them
as
he
shot
by
yell
be
picked
up
presently
all
right
i
saw
some
sharks
astern
st
bernards
dogs
you
know
relieve
distressed
travellers
hurrah
this
is
the
way
to
sail
now
every
keel
a
sun
beam
hurrah
here
we
go
like
three
tin
kettles
at
the
tail
of
a
mad
cougar
this
puts
me
in
mind
of
fastening
to
an
elephant
in
a
tilbury
on
a
plain
makes
the
wheel
spokes
fly
boys
when
you
fasten
to
him
that
way
and
theres
danger
of
being
pitched
out
too
when
you
strike
a
hill
hurrah
this
is
the
way
a
fellow
feels
when
hes
going
to
davy
jones
all
a
rush
down
an
endless
inclined
plane
hurrah
this
whale
carries
the
everlasting
mail
but
the
monsters
run
was
a
brief
one
giving
a
sudden
gasp
he
tumultuously
sounded
with
a
grating
rush
the
three
lines
flew
round
the
loggerheads
with
such
a
force
as
to
gouge
deep
grooves
in
them
while
so
fearful
were
the
harpooneers
that
this
rapid
sounding
would
soon
exhaust
the
lines
that
using
all
their
dexterous
might
they
caught
repeated
smoking
turns
with
the
rope
to
hold
on
till
at
last
owing
to
the
perpendicular
strain
from
the
lead
lined
chocks
of
the
boats
whence
the
three
ropes
went
straight
down
into
the
blue
the
gunwales
of
the
bows
were
almost
even
with
the
water
while
the
three
sterns
tilted
high
in
the
air
and
the
whale
soon
ceasing
to
sound
for
some
time
they
remained
in
that
attitude
fearful
of
expending
more
line
though
the
position
was
a
little
ticklish
but
though
boats
have
been
taken
down
and
lost
in
this
way
yet
it
is
this
holding
on
as
it
is
called
this
hooking
up
by
the
sharp
barbs
of
his
live
flesh
from
the
back
this
it
is
that
often
torments
the
leviathan
into
soon
rising
again
to
meet
the
sharp
lance
of
his
foes
yet
not
to
speak
of
the
peril
of
the
thing
it
is
to
be
doubted
whether
this
course
is
always
the
best
for
it
is
but
reasonable
to
presume
that
the
longer
the
stricken
whale
stays
under
water
the
more
he
is
exhausted
because
owing
to
the
enormous
surface
of
him
in
a
full
grown
sperm
whale
something
less
than
square
feet
the
pressure
of
the
water
is
immense
we
all
know
what
an
astonishing
atmospheric
weight
we
ourselves
stand
up
under
even
here
above
ground
in
the
air
how
vast
then
the
burden
of
a
whale
bearing
on
his
back
a
column
of
two
hundred
fathoms
of
ocean
it
must
at
least
equal
the
weight
of
fifty
atmospheres
one
whaleman
has
estimated
it
at
the
weight
of
twenty
line
of
battle
ships
with
all
their
guns
and
stores
and
men
on
board
as
the
three
boats
lay
there
on
that
gently
rolling
sea
gazing
down
into
its
eternal
blue
noon
and
as
not
a
single
groan
or
cry
of
any
sort
nay
not
so
much
as
a
ripple
or
a
bubble
came
up
from
its
depths
what
landsman
would
have
thought
that
beneath
all
that
silence
and
placidity
the
utmost
monster
of
the
seas
was
writhing
and
wrenching
in
agony
not
eight
inches
of
perpendicular
rope
were
visible
at
the
bows
seems
it
credible
that
by
three
such
thin
threads
the
great
leviathan
was
suspended
like
the
big
weight
to
an
eight
day
clock
suspended
and
to
what
to
three
bits
of
board
is
this
the
creature
of
whom
it
was
once
so
triumphantly
said
canst
thou
fill
his
skin
with
barbed
irons
or
his
head
with
fish
spears
the
sword
of
him
that
layeth
at
him
cannot
hold
the
spear
the
dart
nor
the
habergeon
he
esteemeth
iron
as
straw
the
arrow
cannot
make
him
flee
darts
are
counted
as
stubble
he
laugheth
at
the
shaking
of
a
spear
this
the
creature
this
he
oh
that
unfulfilments
should
follow
the
prophets
for
with
the
strength
of
a
thousand
thighs
in
his
tail
leviathan
had
run
his
head
under
the
mountains
of
the
sea
to
hide
him
from
the
pequods
fish
spears
in
that
sloping
afternoon
sunlight
the
shadows
that
the
three
boats
sent
down
beneath
the
surface
must
have
been
long
enough
and
broad
enough
to
shade
half
xerxes
army
who
can
tell
how
appalling
to
the
wounded
whale
must
have
been
such
huge
phantoms
flitting
over
his
head
stand
by
men
he
stirs
cried
starbuck
as
the
three
lines
suddenly
vibrated
in
the
water
distinctly
conducting
upwards
to
them
as
by
magnetic
wires
the
life
and
death
throbs
of
the
whale
so
that
every
oarsman
felt
them
in
his
seat
the
next
moment
relieved
in
a
great
part
from
the
downward
strain
at
the
bows
the
boats
gave
a
sudden
bounce
upwards
as
a
small
ice
field
will
when
a
dense
herd
of
white
bears
are
scared
from
it
into
the
sea
haul
in
haul
in
cried
starbuck
again
hes
rising
the
lines
of
which
hardly
an
instant
before
not
one
hands
breadth
could
have
been
gained
were
now
in
long
quick
coils
flung
back
all
dripping
into
the
boats
and
soon
the
whale
broke
water
within
two
ships
lengths
of
the
hunters
his
motions
plainly
denoted
his
extreme
exhaustion
in
most
land
animals
there
are
certain
valves
or
flood
gates
in
many
of
their
veins
whereby
when
wounded
the
blood
is
in
some
degree
at
least
instantly
shut
off
in
certain
directions
not
so
with
the
whale
one
of
whose
peculiarities
it
is
to
have
an
entire
nonvalvular
structure
of
the
blood
vessels
so
that
when
pierced
even
by
so
small
a
point
as
a
harpoon
a
deadly
drain
is
at
once
begun
upon
his
whole
arterial
system
and
when
this
is
heightened
by
the
extraordinary
pressure
of
water
at
a
great
distance
below
the
surface
his
life
may
be
said
to
pour
from
him
in
incessant
streams
yet
so
vast
is
the
quantity
of
blood
in
him
and
so
distant
and
numerous
its
interior
fountains
that
he
will
keep
thus
bleeding
and
bleeding
for
a
considerable
period
even
as
in
a
drought
a
river
will
flow
whose
source
is
in
the
well
springs
of
far
off
and
undiscernible
hills
even
now
when
the
boats
pulled
upon
this
whale
and
perilously
drew
over
his
swaying
flukes
and
the
lances
were
darted
into
him
they
were
followed
by
steady
jets
from
the
new
made
wound
which
kept
continually
playing
while
the
natural
spout
hole
in
his
head
was
only
at
intervals
however
rapid
sending
its
affrighted
moisture
into
the
air
from
this
last
vent
no
blood
yet
came
because
no
vital
part
of
him
had
thus
far
been
struck
his
life
as
they
significantly
call
it
was
untouched
as
the
boats
now
more
closely
surrounded
him
the
whole
upper
part
of
his
form
with
much
of
it
that
is
ordinarily
submerged
was
plainly
revealed
his
eyes
or
rather
the
places
where
his
eyes
had
been
were
beheld
as
strange
misgrown
masses
gather
in
the
knot
holes
of
the
noblest
oaks
when
prostrate
so
from
the
points
which
the
whales
eyes
had
once
occupied
now
protruded
blind
bulbs
horribly
pitiable
to
see
but
pity
there
was
none
for
all
his
old
age
and
his
one
arm
and
his
blind
eyes
he
must
die
the
death
and
be
murdered
in
order
to
light
the
gay
bridals
and
other
merry
makings
of
men
and
also
to
illuminate
the
solemn
churches
that
preach
unconditional
inoffensiveness
by
all
to
all
still
rolling
in
his
blood
at
last
he
partially
disclosed
a
strangely
discolored
bunch
or
protuberance
the
size
of
a
bushel
low
down
on
the
flank
a
nice
spot
cried
flask
just
let
me
prick
him
there
once
avast
cried
starbuck
theres
no
need
of
that
but
humane
starbuck
was
too
late
at
the
instant
of
the
dart
an
ulcerous
jet
shot
from
this
cruel
wound
and
goaded
by
it
into
more
than
sufferable
anguish
the
whale
now
spouting
thick
blood
with
swift
fury
blindly
darted
at
the
craft
bespattering
them
and
their
glorying
crews
all
over
with
showers
of
gore
capsizing
flasks
boat
and
marring
the
bows
it
was
his
death
stroke
for
by
this
time
so
spent
was
he
by
loss
of
blood
that
he
helplessly
rolled
away
from
the
wreck
he
had
made
lay
panting
on
his
side
impotently
flapped
with
his
stumped
fin
then
over
and
over
slowly
revolved
like
a
waning
world
turned
up
the
white
secrets
of
his
belly
lay
like
a
log
and
died
it
was
most
piteous
that
last
expiring
spout
as
when
by
unseen
hands
the
water
is
gradually
drawn
off
from
some
mighty
fountain
and
with
half
stifled
melancholy
gurglings
the
spray
column
lowers
and
lowers
to
the
ground
so
the
last
long
dying
spout
of
the
whale
soon
while
the
crews
were
awaiting
the
arrival
of
the
ship
the
body
showed
symptoms
of
sinking
with
all
its
treasures
unrifled
immediately
by
starbucks
orders
lines
were
secured
to
it
at
different
points
so
that
ere
long
every
boat
was
a
buoy
the
sunken
whale
being
suspended
a
few
inches
beneath
them
by
the
cords
by
very
heedful
management
when
the
ship
drew
nigh
the
whale
was
transferred
to
her
side
and
was
strongly
secured
there
by
the
stiffest
fluke
chains
for
it
was
plain
that
unless
artificially
upheld
the
body
would
at
once
sink
to
the
bottom
it
so
chanced
that
almost
upon
first
cutting
into
him
with
the
spade
the
entire
length
of
a
corroded
harpoon
was
found
imbedded
in
his
flesh
on
the
lower
part
of
the
bunch
before
described
but
as
the
stumps
of
harpoons
are
frequently
found
in
the
dead
bodies
of
captured
whales
with
the
flesh
perfectly
healed
around
them
and
no
prominence
of
any
kind
to
denote
their
place
therefore
there
must
needs
have
been
some
other
unknown
reason
in
the
present
case
fully
to
account
for
the
ulceration
alluded
to
but
still
more
curious
was
the
fact
of
a
lance
head
of
stone
being
found
in
him
not
far
from
the
buried
iron
the
flesh
perfectly
firm
about
it
who
had
darted
that
stone
lance
and
when
it
might
have
been
darted
by
some
nor
west
indian
long
before
america
was
discovered
what
other
marvels
might
have
been
rummaged
out
of
this
monstrous
cabinet
there
is
no
telling
but
a
sudden
stop
was
put
to
further
discoveries
by
the
ships
being
unprecedentedly
dragged
over
sideways
to
the
sea
owing
to
the
bodys
immensely
increasing
tendency
to
sink
however
starbuck
who
had
the
ordering
of
affairs
hung
on
to
it
to
the
last
hung
on
to
it
so
resolutely
indeed
that
when
at
length
the
ship
would
have
been
capsized
if
still
persisting
in
locking
arms
with
the
body
then
when
the
command
was
given
to
break
clear
from
it
such
was
the
immovable
strain
upon
the
timber
heads
to
which
the
fluke
chains
and
cables
were
fastened
that
it
was
impossible
to
cast
them
off
meantime
everything
in
the
pequod
was
aslant
to
cross
to
the
other
side
of
the
deck
was
like
walking
up
the
steep
gabled
roof
of
a
house
the
ship
groaned
and
gasped
many
of
the
ivory
inlayings
of
her
bulwarks
and
cabins
were
started
from
their
places
by
the
unnatural
dislocation
in
vain
handspikes
and
crows
were
brought
to
bear
upon
the
immovable
fluke
chains
to
pry
them
adrift
from
the
timber
heads
and
so
low
had
the
whale
now
settled
that
the
submerged
ends
could
not
be
at
all
approached
while
every
moment
whole
tons
of
ponderosity
seemed
added
to
the
sinking
bulk
and
the
ship
seemed
on
the
point
of
going
over
hold
on
hold
on
wont
ye
cried
stubb
to
the
body
dont
be
in
such
a
devil
of
a
hurry
to
sink
by
thunder
men
we
must
do
something
or
go
for
it
no
use
prying
there
avast
i
say
with
your

and
run
one
of
ye
for
a

and
a

and
cut
the
big

aye
aye
cried
queequeg
and
seizing
the
carpenters
heavy
hatchet
he
leaned
out
of
a
porthole
and
steel
to
iron
began
slashing
at
the
largest
fluke
chains
but
a
few
strokes
full
of
sparks
were
given
when
the
exceeding
strain
effected
the
rest
with
a
terrific
snap
every
fastening
went
adrift
the
ship
righted
the
carcase
sank
now
this
occasional
inevitable
sinking
of
the
recently
killed
sperm
whale
is
a
very
curious
thing
nor
has
any
fisherman
yet
adequately
accounted
for
it
usually
the
dead
sperm
whale
floats
with
great
buoyancy
with
its
side
or
belly
considerably
elevated
above
the
surface
if
the
only
whales
that
thus
sank
were
old
meagre
and
broken
hearted
creatures
their
pads
of
lard
diminished
and
all
their
bones
heavy
and
rheumatic
then
you
might
with
some
reason
assert
that
this
sinking
is
caused
by
an
uncommon
specific
gravity
in
the
fish
so
sinking
consequent
upon
this
absence
of
buoyant
matter
in
him
but
it
is
not
so
for
young
whales
in
the
highest
health
and
swelling
with
noble
aspirations
prematurely
cut
off
in
the
warm
flush
and
may
of
life
with
all
their
panting
lard
about
them
even
these
brawny
buoyant
heroes
do
sometimes
sink
be
it
said
however
that
the
sperm
whale
is
far
less
liable
to
this
accident
than
any
other
species
where
one
of
that
sort
go
down
twenty
right
whales
do
this
difference
in
the
species
is
no
doubt
imputable
in
no
small
degree
to
the
greater
quantity
of
bone
in
the
right
whale
his
venetian
blinds
alone
sometimes
weighing
more
than
a
ton
from
this
incumbrance
the
sperm
whale
is
wholly
free
but
there
are
instances
where
after
the
lapse
of
many
hours
or
several
days
the
sunken
whale
again
rises
more
buoyant
than
in
life
but
the
reason
of
this
is
obvious
gases
are
generated
in
him
he
swells
to
a
prodigious
magnitude
becomes
a
sort
of
animal
balloon
a
line
of
battle
ship
could
hardly
keep
him
under
then
in
the
shore
whaling
on
soundings
among
the
bays
of
new
zealand
when
a
right
whale
gives
token
of
sinking
they
fasten
buoys
to
him
with
plenty
of
rope
so
that
when
the
body
has
gone
down
they
know
where
to
look
for
it
when
it
shall
have
ascended
again
it
was
not
long
after
the
sinking
of
the
body
that
a
cry
was
heard
from
the
pequods
mast
heads
announcing
that
the
jungfrau
was
again
lowering
her
boats
though
the
only
spout
in
sight
was
that
of
a
fin
back
belonging
to
the
species
of
uncapturable
whales
because
of
its
incredible
power
of
swimming
nevertheless
the
fin
backs
spout
is
so
similar
to
the
sperm
whales
that
by
unskilful
fishermen
it
is
often
mistaken
for
it
and
consequently
derick
and
all
his
host
were
now
in
valiant
chase
of
this
unnearable
brute
the
virgin
crowding
all
sail
made
after
her
four
young
keels
and
thus
they
all
disappeared
far
to
leeward
still
in
bold
hopeful
chase
oh
many
are
the
fin
backs
and
many
are
the
dericks
my
friend
there
are
some
enterprises
in
which
a
careful
disorderliness
is
the
true
method
the
more
i
dive
into
this
matter
of
whaling
and
push
my
researches
up
to
the
very
spring
head
of
it
so
much
the
more
am
i
impressed
with
its
great
honorableness
and
antiquity
and
especially
when
i
find
so
many
great
demi
gods
and
heroes
prophets
of
all
sorts
who
one
way
or
other
have
shed
distinction
upon
it
i
am
transported
with
the
reflection
that
i
myself
belong
though
but
subordinately
to
so
emblazoned
a
fraternity
the
gallant
perseus
a
son
of
jupiter
was
the
first
whaleman
and
to
the
eternal
honor
of
our
calling
be
it
said
that
the
first
whale
attacked
by
our
brotherhood
was
not
killed
with
any
sordid
intent
those
were
the
knightly
days
of
our
profession
when
we
only
bore
arms
to
succor
the
distressed
and
not
to
fill
mens
lamp
feeders
every
one
knows
the
fine
story
of
perseus
and
andromeda
how
the
lovely
andromeda
the
daughter
of
a
king
was
tied
to
a
rock
on
the
sea
coast
and
as
leviathan
was
in
the
very
act
of
carrying
her
off
perseus
the
prince
of
whalemen
intrepidly
advancing
harpooned
the
monster
and
delivered
and
married
the
maid
it
was
an
admirable
artistic
exploit
rarely
achieved
by
the
best
harpooneers
of
the
present
day
inasmuch
as
this
leviathan
was
slain
at
the
very
first
dart
and
let
no
man
doubt
this
arkite
story
for
in
the
ancient
joppa
now
jaffa
on
the
syrian
coast
in
one
of
the
pagan
temples
there
stood
for
many
ages
the
vast
skeleton
of
a
whale
which
the
citys
legends
and
all
the
inhabitants
asserted
to
be
the
identical
bones
of
the
monster
that
perseus
slew
when
the
romans
took
joppa
the
same
skeleton
was
carried
to
italy
in
triumph
what
seems
most
singular
and
suggestively
important
in
this
story
is
this
it
was
from
joppa
that
jonah
set
sail
akin
to
the
adventure
of
perseus
and
andromeda
indeed
by
some
supposed
to
be
indirectly
derived
from
it
is
that
famous
story
of
st
george
and
the
dragon
which
dragon
i
maintain
to
have
been
a
whale
for
in
many
old
chronicles
whales
and
dragons
are
strangely
jumbled
together
and
often
stand
for
each
other
thou
art
as
a
lion
of
the
waters
and
as
a
dragon
of
the
sea
saith
ezekiel
hereby
plainly
meaning
a
whale
in
truth
some
versions
of
the
bible
use
that
word
itself
besides
it
would
much
subtract
from
the
glory
of
the
exploit
had
st
george
but
encountered
a
crawling
reptile
of
the
land
instead
of
doing
battle
with
the
great
monster
of
the
deep
any
man
may
kill
a
snake
but
only
a
perseus
a
st
george
a
coffin
have
the
heart
in
them
to
march
boldly
up
to
a
whale
let
not
the
modern
paintings
of
this
scene
mislead
us
for
though
the
creature
encountered
by
that
valiant
whaleman
of
old
is
vaguely
represented
of
a
griffin
like
shape
and
though
the
battle
is
depicted
on
land
and
the
saint
on
horseback
yet
considering
the
great
ignorance
of
those
times
when
the
true
form
of
the
whale
was
unknown
to
artists
and
considering
that
as
in
perseus
case
st
georges
whale
might
have
crawled
up
out
of
the
sea
on
the
beach
and
considering
that
the
animal
ridden
by
st
george
might
have
been
only
a
large
seal
or
sea
horse
bearing
all
this
in
mind
it
will
not
appear
altogether
incompatible
with
the
sacred
legend
and
the
ancientest
draughts
of
the
scene
to
hold
this
so
called
dragon
no
other
than
the
great
leviathan
himself
in
fact
placed
before
the
strict
and
piercing
truth
this
whole
story
will
fare
like
that
fish
flesh
and
fowl
idol
of
the
philistines
dagon
by
name
who
being
planted
before
the
ark
of
israel
his
horses
head
and
both
the
palms
of
his
hands
fell
off
from
him
and
only
the
stump
or
fishy
part
of
him
remained
thus
then
one
of
our
own
noble
stamp
even
a
whaleman
is
the
tutelary
guardian
of
england
and
by
good
rights
we
harpooneers
of
nantucket
should
be
enrolled
in
the
most
noble
order
of
st
george
and
therefore
let
not
the
knights
of
that
honorable
company
none
of
whom
i
venture
to
say
have
ever
had
to
do
with
a
whale
like
their
great
patron
let
them
never
eye
a
nantucketer
with
disdain
since
even
in
our
woollen
frocks
and
tarred
trowsers
we
are
much
better
entitled
to
st
georges
decoration
than
they
whether
to
admit
hercules
among
us
or
not
concerning
this
i
long
remained
dubious
for
though
according
to
the
greek
mythologies
that
antique
crockett
and
kit
carson
that
brawny
doer
of
rejoicing
good
deeds
was
swallowed
down
and
thrown
up
by
a
whale
still
whether
that
strictly
makes
a
whaleman
of
him
that
might
be
mooted
it
nowhere
appears
that
he
ever
actually
harpooned
his
fish
unless
indeed
from
the
inside
nevertheless
he
may
be
deemed
a
sort
of
involuntary
whaleman
at
any
rate
the
whale
caught
him
if
he
did
not
the
whale
i
claim
him
for
one
of
our
clan
but
by
the
best
contradictory
authorities
this
grecian
story
of
hercules
and
the
whale
is
considered
to
be
derived
from
the
still
more
ancient
hebrew
story
of
jonah
and
the
whale
and
vice
versa
certainly
they
are
very
similar
if
i
claim
the
demigod
then
why
not
the
prophet
nor
do
heroes
saints
demigods
and
prophets
alone
comprise
the
whole
roll
of
our
order
our
grand
master
is
still
to
be
named
for
like
royal
kings
of
old
times
we
find
the
headwaters
of
our
fraternity
in
nothing
short
of
the
great
gods
themselves
that
wondrous
oriental
story
is
now
to
be
rehearsed
from
the
shaster
which
gives
us
the
dread
vishnoo
one
of
the
three
persons
in
the
godhead
of
the
hindoos
gives
us
this
divine
vishnoo
himself
for
our
lord
vishnoo
who
by
the
first
of
his
ten
earthly
incarnations
has
for
ever
set
apart
and
sanctified
the
whale
when
brahma
or
the
god
of
gods
saith
the
shaster
resolved
to
recreate
the
world
after
one
of
its
periodical
dissolutions
he
gave
birth
to
vishnoo
to
preside
over
the
work
but
the
vedas
or
mystical
books
whose
perusal
would
seem
to
have
been
indispensable
to
vishnoo
before
beginning
the
creation
and
which
therefore
must
have
contained
something
in
the
shape
of
practical
hints
to
young
architects
these
vedas
were
lying
at
the
bottom
of
the
waters
so
vishnoo
became
incarnate
in
a
whale
and
sounding
down
in
him
to
the
uttermost
depths
rescued
the
sacred
volumes
was
not
this
vishnoo
a
whaleman
then
even
as
a
man
who
rides
a
horse
is
called
a
horseman
perseus
st
george
hercules
jonah
and
vishnoo
theres
a
member
roll
for
you
what
club
but
the
whalemans
can
head
off
like
that
reference
was
made
to
the
historical
story
of
jonah
and
the
whale
in
the
preceding
chapter
now
some
nantucketers
rather
distrust
this
historical
story
of
jonah
and
the
whale
but
then
there
were
some
sceptical
greeks
and
romans
who
standing
out
from
the
orthodox
pagans
of
their
times
equally
doubted
the
story
of
hercules
and
the
whale
and
arion
and
the
dolphin
and
yet
their
doubting
those
traditions
did
not
make
those
traditions
one
whit
the
less
facts
for
all
that
one
old
sag
harbor
whalemans
chief
reason
for
questioning
the
hebrew
story
was
this
he
had
one
of
those
quaint
old
fashioned
bibles
embellished
with
curious
unscientific
plates
one
of
which
represented
jonahs
whale
with
two
spouts
in
his
head
a
peculiarity
only
true
with
respect
to
a
species
of
the
leviathan
the
right
whale
and
the
varieties
of
that
order
concerning
which
the
fishermen
have
this
saying
a
penny
roll
would
choke
him
his
swallow
is
so
very
small
but
to
this
bishop
jebbs
anticipative
answer
is
ready
it
is
not
necessary
hints
the
bishop
that
we
consider
jonah
as
tombed
in
the
whales
belly
but
as
temporarily
lodged
in
some
part
of
his
mouth
and
this
seems
reasonable
enough
in
the
good
bishop
for
truly
the
right
whales
mouth
would
accommodate
a
couple
of
whist
tables
and
comfortably
seat
all
the
players
possibly
too
jonah
might
have
ensconced
himself
in
a
hollow
tooth
but
on
second
thoughts
the
right
whale
is
toothless
another
reason
which
sag
harbor
he
went
by
that
name
urged
for
his
want
of
faith
in
this
matter
of
the
prophet
was
something
obscurely
in
reference
to
his
incarcerated
body
and
the
whales
gastric
juices
but
this
objection
likewise
falls
to
the
ground
because
a
german
exegetist
supposes
that
jonah
must
have
taken
refuge
in
the
floating
body
of
a
dead
whale
even
as
the
french
soldiers
in
the
russian
campaign
turned
their
dead
horses
into
tents
and
crawled
into
them
besides
it
has
been
divined
by
other
continental
commentators
that
when
jonah
was
thrown
overboard
from
the
joppa
ship
he
straightway
effected
his
escape
to
another
vessel
near
by
some
vessel
with
a
whale
for
a
figure
head
and
i
would
add
possibly
called
the
whale
as
some
craft
are
nowadays
christened
the
shark
the
gull
the
eagle
nor
have
there
been
wanting
learned
exegetists
who
have
opined
that
the
whale
mentioned
in
the
book
of
jonah
merely
meant
a
life
preserver
an
inflated
bag
of
wind
which
the
endangered
prophet
swam
to
and
so
was
saved
from
a
watery
doom
poor
sag
harbor
therefore
seems
worsted
all
round
but
he
had
still
another
reason
for
his
want
of
faith
it
was
this
if
i
remember
right
jonah
was
swallowed
by
the
whale
in
the
mediterranean
sea
and
after
three
days
he
was
vomited
up
somewhere
within
three
days
journey
of
nineveh
a
city
on
the
tigris
very
much
more
than
three
days
journey
across
from
the
nearest
point
of
the
mediterranean
coast
how
is
that
but
was
there
no
other
way
for
the
whale
to
land
the
prophet
within
that
short
distance
of
nineveh
yes
he
might
have
carried
him
round
by
the
way
of
the
cape
of
good
hope
but
not
to
speak
of
the
passage
through
the
whole
length
of
the
mediterranean
and
another
passage
up
the
persian
gulf
and
red
sea
such
a
supposition
would
involve
the
complete
circumnavigation
of
all
africa
in
three
days
not
to
speak
of
the
tigris
waters
near
the
site
of
nineveh
being
too
shallow
for
any
whale
to
swim
in
besides
this
idea
of
jonahs
weathering
the
cape
of
good
hope
at
so
early
a
day
would
wrest
the
honor
of
the
discovery
of
that
great
headland
from
bartholomew
diaz
its
reputed
discoverer
and
so
make
modern
history
a
liar
but
all
these
foolish
arguments
of
old
sag
harbor
only
evinced
his
foolish
pride
of
reason
a
thing
still
more
reprehensible
in
him
seeing
that
he
had
but
little
learning
except
what
he
had
picked
up
from
the
sun
and
the
sea
i
say
it
only
shows
his
foolish
impious
pride
and
abominable
devilish
rebellion
against
the
reverend
clergy
for
by
a
portuguese
catholic
priest
this
very
idea
of
jonahs
going
to
nineveh
via
the
cape
of
good
hope
was
advanced
as
a
signal
magnification
of
the
general
miracle
and
so
it
was
besides
to
this
day
the
highly
enlightened
turks
devoutly
believe
in
the
historical
story
of
jonah
and
some
three
centuries
ago
an
english
traveller
in
old
harriss
voyages
speaks
of
a
turkish
mosque
built
in
honor
of
jonah
in
which
mosque
was
a
miraculous
lamp
that
burnt
without
any
oil
to
make
them
run
easily
and
swiftly
the
axles
of
carriages
are
anointed
and
for
much
the
same
purpose
some
whalers
perform
an
analogous
operation
upon
their
boat
they
grease
the
bottom
nor
is
it
to
be
doubted
that
as
such
a
procedure
can
do
no
harm
it
may
possibly
be
of
no
contemptible
advantage
considering
that
oil
and
water
are
hostile
that
oil
is
a
sliding
thing
and
that
the
object
in
view
is
to
make
the
boat
slide
bravely
queequeg
believed
strongly
in
anointing
his
boat
and
one
morning
not
long
after
the
german
ship
jungfrau
disappeared
took
more
than
customary
pains
in
that
occupation
crawling
under
its
bottom
where
it
hung
over
the
side
and
rubbing
in
the
unctuousness
as
though
diligently
seeking
to
insure
a
crop
of
hair
from
the
crafts
bald
keel
he
seemed
to
be
working
in
obedience
to
some
particular
presentiment
nor
did
it
remain
unwarranted
by
the
event
towards
noon
whales
were
raised
but
so
soon
as
the
ship
sailed
down
to
them
they
turned
and
fled
with
swift
precipitancy
a
disordered
flight
as
of
cleopatras
barges
from
actium
nevertheless
the
boats
pursued
and
stubbs
was
foremost
by
great
exertion
tashtego
at
last
succeeded
in
planting
one
iron
but
the
stricken
whale
without
at
all
sounding
still
continued
his
horizontal
flight
with
added
fleetness
such
unintermitted
strainings
upon
the
planted
iron
must
sooner
or
later
inevitably
extract
it
it
became
imperative
to
lance
the
flying
whale
or
be
content
to
lose
him
but
to
haul
the
boat
up
to
his
flank
was
impossible
he
swam
so
fast
and
furious
what
then
remained
of
all
the
wondrous
devices
and
dexterities
the
sleights
of
hand
and
countless
subtleties
to
which
the
veteran
whaleman
is
so
often
forced
none
exceed
that
fine
manoeuvre
with
the
lance
called
pitchpoling
small
sword
or
broad
sword
in
all
its
exercises
boasts
nothing
like
it
it
is
only
indispensable
with
an
inveterate
running
whale
its
grand
fact
and
feature
is
the
wonderful
distance
to
which
the
long
lance
is
accurately
darted
from
a
violently
rocking
jerking
boat
under
extreme
headway
steel
and
wood
included
the
entire
spear
is
some
ten
or
twelve
feet
in
length
the
staff
is
much
slighter
than
that
of
the
harpoon
and
also
of
a
lighter
material
pine
it
is
furnished
with
a
small
rope
called
a
warp
of
considerable
length
by
which
it
can
be
hauled
back
to
the
hand
after
darting
but
before
going
further
it
is
important
to
mention
here
that
though
the
harpoon
may
be
pitchpoled
in
the
same
way
with
the
lance
yet
it
is
seldom
done
and
when
done
is
still
less
frequently
successful
on
account
of
the
greater
weight
and
inferior
length
of
the
harpoon
as
compared
with
the
lance
which
in
effect
become
serious
drawbacks
as
a
general
thing
therefore
you
must
first
get
fast
to
a
whale
before
any
pitchpoling
comes
into
play
look
now
at
stubb
a
man
who
from
his
humorous
deliberate
coolness
and
equanimity
in
the
direst
emergencies
was
specially
qualified
to
excel
in
pitchpoling
look
at
him
he
stands
upright
in
the
tossed
bow
of
the
flying
boat
wrapt
in
fleecy
foam
the
towing
whale
is
forty
feet
ahead
handling
the
long
lance
lightly

many
millions
of
ages
before
the
great
whales
should
have
been
spouting
all
over
the
sea
and
sprinkling
and
mistifying
the
gardens
of
the
deep
as
with
so
many
sprinkling
or
mistifying
pots
and
that
for
some
centuries
back
thousands
of
hunters
should
have
been
close
by
the
fountain
of
the
whale
watching
these
sprinklings
and
spoutings
that
all
this
should
be
and
yet
that
down
to
this
blessed
minute
fifteen
and
a
quarter
minutes
past
one
oclock
p
m
of
this
sixteenth
day
of
december
a
d
it
should
still
remain
a
problem
whether
these
spoutings
are
after
all
really
water
or
nothing
but
vapor
this
is
surely
a
noteworthy
thing
let
us
then
look
at
this
matter
along
with
some
interesting
items
contingent
every
one
knows
that
by
the
peculiar
cunning
of
their
gills
the
finny
tribes
in
general
breathe
the
air
which
at
all
times
is
combined
with
the
element
in
which
they
swim
hence
a
herring
or
a
cod
might
live
a
century
and
never
once
raise
its
head
above
the
surface
but
owing
to
his
marked
internal
structure
which
gives
him
regular
lungs
like
a
human
beings
the
whale
can
only
live
by
inhaling
the
disengaged
air
in
the
open
atmosphere
wherefore
the
necessity
for
his
periodical
visits
to
the
upper
world
but
he
cannot
in
any
degree
breathe
through
his
mouth
for
in
his
ordinary
attitude
the
sperm
whales
mouth
is
buried
at
least
eight
feet
beneath
the
surface
and
what
is
still
more
his
windpipe
has
no
connexion
with
his
mouth
no
he
breathes
through
his
spiracle
alone
and
this
is
on
the
top
of
his
head
if
i
say
that
in
any
creature
breathing
is
only
a
function
indispensable
to
vitality
inasmuch
as
it
withdraws
from
the
air
a
certain
element
which
being
subsequently
brought
into
contact
with
the
blood
imparts
to
the
blood
its
vivifying
principle
i
do
not
think
i
shall
err
though
i
may
possibly
use
some
superfluous
scientific
words
assume
it
and
it
follows
that
if
all
the
blood
in
a
man
could
be
aerated
with
one
breath
he
might
then
seal
up
his
nostrils
and
not
fetch
another
for
a
considerable
time
that
is
to
say
he
would
then
live
without
breathing
anomalous
as
it
may
seem
this
is
precisely
the
case
with
the
whale
who
systematically
lives
by
intervals
his
full
hour
and
more
when
at
the
bottom
without
drawing
a
single
breath
or
so
much
as
in
any
way
inhaling
a
particle
of
air
for
remember
he
has
no
gills
how
is
this
between
his
ribs
and
on
each
side
of
his
spine
he
is
supplied
with
a
remarkable
involved
cretan
labyrinth
of
vermicelli
like
vessels
which
vessels
when
he
quits
the
surface
are
completely
distended
with
oxygenated
blood
so
that
for
an
hour
or
more
a
thousand
fathoms
in
the
sea
he
carries
a
surplus
stock
of
vitality
in
him
just
as
the
camel
crossing
the
waterless
desert
carries
a
surplus
supply
of
drink
for
future
use
in
its
four
supplementary
stomachs
the
anatomical
fact
of
this
labyrinth
is
indisputable
and
that
the
supposition
founded
upon
it
is
reasonable
and
true
seems
the
more
cogent
to
me
when
i
consider
the
otherwise
inexplicable
obstinacy
of
that
leviathan
in
having
his
spoutings
out
as
the
fishermen
phrase
it
this
is
what
i
mean
if
unmolested
upon
rising
to
the
surface
the
sperm
whale
will
continue
there
for
a
period
of
time
exactly
uniform
with
all
his
other
unmolested
risings
say
he
stays
eleven
minutes
and
jets
seventy
times
that
is
respires
seventy
breaths
then
whenever
he
rises
again
he
will
be
sure
to
have
his
seventy
breaths
over
again
to
a
minute
now
if
after
he
fetches
a
few
breaths
you
alarm
him
so
that
he
sounds
he
will
be
always
dodging
up
again
to
make
good
his
regular
allowance
of
air
and
not
till
those
seventy
breaths
are
told
will
he
finally
go
down
to
stay
out
his
full
term
below
remark
however
that
in
different
individuals
these
rates
are
different
but
in
any
one
they
are
alike
now
why
should
the
whale
thus
insist
upon
having
his
spoutings
out
unless
it
be
to
replenish
his
reservoir
of
air
ere
descending
for
good
how
obvious
is
it
too
that
this
necessity
for
the
whales
rising
exposes
him
to
all
the
fatal
hazards
of
the
chase
for
not
by
hook
or
by
net
could
this
vast
leviathan
be
caught
when
sailing
a
thousand
fathoms
beneath
the
sunlight
not
so
much
thy
skill
then
o
hunter
as
the
great
necessities
that
strike
the
victory
to
thee
in
man
breathing
is
incessantly
going
on
one
breath
only
serving
for
two
or
three
pulsations
so
that
whatever
other
business
he
has
to
attend
to
waking
or
sleeping
breathe
he
must
or
die
he
will
but
the
sperm
whale
only
breathes
about
one
seventh
or
sunday
of
his
time
it
has
been
said
that
the
whale
only
breathes
through
his
spout
hole
if
it
could
truthfully
be
added
that
his
spouts
are
mixed
with
water
then
i
opine
we
should
be
furnished
with
the
reason
why
his
sense
of
smell
seems
obliterated
in
him
for
the
only
thing
about
him
that
at
all
answers
to
his
nose
is
that
identical
spout
hole
and
being
so
clogged
with
two
elements
it
could
not
be
expected
to
have
the
power
of
smelling
but
owing
to
the
mystery
of
the
spout
whether
it
be
water
or
whether
it
be
vapor
no
absolute
certainty
can
as
yet
be
arrived
at
on
this
head
sure
it
is
nevertheless
that
the
sperm
whale
has
no
proper
olfactories
but
what
does
he
want
of
them
no
roses
no
violets
no
cologne
water
in
the
sea
furthermore
as
his
windpipe
solely
opens
into
the
tube
of
his
spouting
canal
and
as
that
long
canal
like
the
grand
erie
canal
is
furnished
with
a
sort
of
locks
that
open
and
shut
for
the
downward
retention
of
air
or
the
upward
exclusion
of
water
therefore
the
whale
has
no
voice
unless
you
insult
him
by
saying
that
when
he
so
strangely
rumbles
he
talks
through
his
nose
but
then
again
what
has
the
whale
to
say
seldom
have
i
known
any
profound
being
that
had
anything
to
say
to
this
world
unless
forced
to
stammer
out
something
by
way
of
getting
a
living
oh
happy
that
the
world
is
such
an
excellent
listener
now
the
spouting
canal
of
the
sperm
whale
chiefly
intended
as
it
is
for
the
conveyance
of
air
and
for
several
feet
laid
along
horizontally
just
beneath
the
upper
surface
of
his
head
and
a
little
to
one
side
this
curious
canal
is
very
much
like
a
gas
pipe
laid
down
in
a
city
on
one
side
of
a
street
but
the
question
returns
whether
this
gas
pipe
is
also
a
water
pipe
in
other
words
whether
the
spout
of
the
sperm
whale
is
the
mere
vapor
of
the
exhaled
breath
or
whether
that
exhaled
breath
is
mixed
with
water
taken
in
at
the
mouth
and
discharged
through
the
spiracle
it
is
certain
that
the
mouth
indirectly
communicates
with
the
spouting
canal
but
it
cannot
be
proved
that
this
is
for
the
purpose
of
discharging
water
through
the
spiracle
because
the
greatest
necessity
for
so
doing
would
seem
to
be
when
in
feeding
he
accidentally
takes
in
water
but
the
sperm
whales
food
is
far
beneath
the
surface
and
there
he
cannot
spout
even
if
he
would
besides
if
you
regard
him
very
closely
and
time
him
with
your
watch
you
will
find
that
when
unmolested
there
is
an
undeviating
rhyme
between
the
periods
of
his
jets
and
the
ordinary
periods
of
respiration
but
why
pester
one
with
all
this
reasoning
on
the
subject
speak
out
you
have
seen
him
spout
then
declare
what
the
spout
is
can
you
not
tell
water
from
air
my
dear
sir
in
this
world
it
is
not
so
easy
to
settle
these
plain
things
i
have
ever
found
your
plain
things
the
knottiest
of
all
and
as
for
this
whale
spout
you
might
almost
stand
in
it
and
yet
be
undecided
as
to
what
it
is
precisely
the
central
body
of
it
is
hidden
in
the
snowy
sparkling
mist
enveloping
it
and
how
can
you
certainly
tell
whether
any
water
falls
from
it
when
always
when
you
are
close
enough
to
a
whale
to
get
a
close
view
of
his
spout
he
is
in
a
prodigious
commotion
the
water
cascading
all
around
him
and
if
at
such
times
you
should
think
that
you
really
perceived
drops
of
moisture
in
the
spout
how
do
you
know
that
they
are
not
merely
condensed
from
its
vapor
or
how
do
you
know
that
they
are
not
those
identical
drops
superficially
lodged
in
the
spout
hole
fissure
which
is
countersunk
into
the
summit
of
the
whales
head
for
even
when
tranquilly
swimming
through
the
mid
day
sea
in
a
calm
with
his
elevated
hump
sun
dried
as
a
dromedarys
in
the
desert
even
then
the
whale
always
carries
a
small
basin
of
water
on
his
head
as
under
a
blazing
sun
you
will
sometimes
see
a
cavity
in
a
rock
filled
up
with
rain
nor
is
it
at
all
prudent
for
the
hunter
to
be
over
curious
touching
the
precise
nature
of
the
whale
spout
it
will
not
do
for
him
to
be
peering
into
it
and
putting
his
face
in
it
you
cannot
go
with
your
pitcher
to
this
fountain
and
fill
it
and
bring
it
away
for
even
when
coming
into
slight
contact
with
the
outer
vapory
shreds
of
the
jet
which
will
often
happen
your
skin
will
feverishly
smart
from
the
acridness
of
the
thing
so
touching
it
and
i
know
one
who
coming
into
still
closer
contact
with
the
spout
whether
with
some
scientific
object
in
view
or
otherwise
i
cannot
say
the
skin
peeled
off
from
his
cheek
and
arm
wherefore
among
whalemen
the
spout
is
deemed
poisonous
they
try
to
evade
it
another
thing
i
have
heard
it
said
and
i
do
not
much
doubt
it
that
if
the
jet
is
fairly
spouted
into
your
eyes
it
will
blind
you
the
wisest
thing
the
investigator
can
do
then
it
seems
to
me
is
to
let
this
deadly
spout
alone
still
we
can
hypothesize
even
if
we
cannot
prove
and
establish
my
hypothesis
is
this
that
the
spout
is
nothing
but
mist
and
besides
other
reasons
to
this
conclusion
i
am
impelled
by
considerations
touching
the
great
inherent
dignity
and
sublimity
of
the
sperm
whale
i
account
him
no
common
shallow
being
inasmuch
as
it
is
an
undisputed
fact
that
he
is
never
found
on
soundings
or
near
shores
all
other
whales
sometimes
are
he
is
both
ponderous
and
profound
and
i
am
convinced
that
from
the
heads
of
all
ponderous
profound
beings
such
as
plato
pyrrho
the
devil
jupiter
dante
and
so
on
there
always
goes
up
a
certain
semi
visible
steam
while
in
the
act
of
thinking
deep
thoughts
while
composing
a
little
treatise
on
eternity
i
had
the
curiosity
to
place
a
mirror
before
me
and
ere
long
saw
reflected
there
a
curious
involved
worming
and
undulation
in
the
atmosphere
over
my
head
the
invariable
moisture
of
my
hair
while
plunged
in
deep
thought
after
six
cups
of
hot
tea
in
my
thin
shingled
attic
of
an
august
noon
this
seems
an
additional
argument
for
the
above
supposition
and
how
nobly
it
raises
our
conceit
of
the
mighty
misty
monster
to
behold
him
solemnly
sailing
through
a
calm
tropical
sea
his
vast
mild
head
overhung
by
a
canopy
of
vapor
engendered
by
his
incommunicable
contemplations
and
that
vapor
as
you
will
sometimes
see
it
glorified
by
a
rainbow
as
if
heaven
itself
had
put
its
seal
upon
his
thoughts
for
dye
see
rainbows
do
not
visit
the
clear
air
they
only
irradiate
vapor
and
so
through
all
the
thick
mists
of
the
dim
doubts
in
my
mind
divine
intuitions
now
and
then
shoot
enkindling
my
fog
with
a
heavenly
ray
and
for
this
i
thank
god
for
all
have
doubts
many
deny
but
doubts
or
denials
few
along
with
them
have
intuitions
doubts
of
all
things
earthly
and
intuitions
of
some
things
heavenly
this
combination
makes
neither
believer
nor
infidel
but
makes
a
man
who
regards
them
both
with
equal
eye
other
poets
have
warbled
the
praises
of
the
soft
eye
of
the
antelope
and
the
lovely
plumage
of
the
bird
that
never
alights
less
celestial
i
celebrate
a
tail
reckoning
the
largest
sized
sperm
whales
tail
to
begin
at
that
point
of
the
trunk
where
it
tapers
to
about
the
girth
of
a
man
it
comprises
upon
its
upper
surface
alone
an
area
of
at
least
fifty
square
feet
the
compact
round
body
of
its
root
expands
into
two
broad
firm
flat
palms
or
flukes
gradually
shoaling
away
to
less
than
an
inch
in
thickness
at
the
crotch
or
junction
these
flukes
slightly
overlap
then
sideways
recede
from
each
other
like
wings
leaving
a
wide
vacancy
between
in
no
living
thing
are
the
lines
of
beauty
more
exquisitely
defined
than
in
the
crescentic
borders
of
these
flukes
at
its
utmost
expansion
in
the
full
grown
whale
the
tail
will
considerably
exceed
twenty
feet
across
the
entire
member
seems
a
dense
webbed
bed
of
welded
sinews
but
cut
into
it
and
you
find
that
three
distinct
strata
compose
it
upper
middle
and
lower
the
fibres
in
the
upper
and
lower
layers
are
long
and
horizontal
those
of
the
middle
one
very
short
and
running
crosswise
between
the
outside
layers
this
triune
structure
as
much
as
anything
else
imparts
power
to
the
tail
to
the
student
of
old
roman
walls
the
middle
layer
will
furnish
a
curious
parallel
to
the
thin
course
of
tiles
always
alternating
with
the
stone
in
those
wonderful
relics
of
the
antique
and
which
undoubtedly
contribute
so
much
to
the
great
strength
of
the
masonry
but
as
if
this
vast
local
power
in
the
tendinous
tail
were
not
enough
the
whole
bulk
of
the
leviathan
is
knit
over
with
a
warp
and
woof
of
muscular
fibres
and
filaments
which
passing
on
either
side
the
loins
and
running
down
into
the
flukes
insensibly
blend
with
them
and
largely
contribute
to
their
might
so
that
in
the
tail
the
confluent
measureless
force
of
the
whole
whale
seems
concentrated
to
a
point
could
annihilation
occur
to
matter
this
were
the
thing
to
do
it
nor
does
this
its
amazing
strength
at
all
tend
to
cripple
the
graceful
flexion
of
its
motions
where
infantileness
of
ease
undulates
through
a
titanism
of
power
on
the
contrary
those
motions
derive
their
most
appalling
beauty
from
it
real
strength
never
impairs
beauty
or
harmony
but
it
often
bestows
it
and
in
everything
imposingly
beautiful
strength
has
much
to
do
with
the
magic
take
away
the
tied
tendons
that
all
over
seem
bursting
from
the
marble
in
the
carved
hercules
and
its
charm
would
be
gone
as
devout
eckerman
lifted
the
linen
sheet
from
the
naked
corpse
of
goethe
he
was
overwhelmed
with
the
massive
chest
of
the
man
that
seemed
as
a
roman
triumphal
arch
when
angelo
paints
even
god
the
father
in
human
form
mark
what
robustness
is
there
and
whatever
they
may
reveal
of
the
divine
love
in
the
son
the
soft
curled
hermaphroditical
italian
pictures
in
which
his
idea
has
been
most
successfully
embodied
these
pictures
so
destitute
as
they
are
of
all
brawniness
hint
nothing
of
any
power
but
the
mere
negative
feminine
one
of
submission
and
endurance
which
on
all
hands
it
is
conceded
form
the
peculiar
practical
virtues
of
his
teachings
such
is
the
subtle
elasticity
of
the
organ
i
treat
of
that
whether
wielded
in
sport
or
in
earnest
or
in
anger
whatever
be
the
mood
it
be
in
its
flexions
are
invariably
marked
by
exceeding
grace
therein
no
fairys
arm
can
transcend
it
five
great
motions
are
peculiar
to
it
first
when
used
as
a
fin
for
progression
second
when
used
as
a
mace
in
battle
third
in
sweeping
fourth
in
lobtailing
fifth
in
peaking
flukes
first
being
horizontal
in
its
position
the
leviathans
tail
acts
in
a
different
manner
from
the
tails
of
all
other
sea
creatures
it
never
wriggles
in
man
or
fish
wriggling
is
a
sign
of
inferiority
to
the
whale
his
tail
is
the
sole
means
of
propulsion
scroll
wise
coiled
forwards
beneath
the
body
and
then
rapidly
sprung
backwards
it
is
this
which
gives
that
singular
darting
leaping
motion
to
the
monster
when
furiously
swimming
his
side
fins
only
serve
to
steer
by
second
it
is
a
little
significant
that
while
one
sperm
whale
only
fights
another
sperm
whale
with
his
head
and
jaw
nevertheless
in
his
conflicts
with
man
he
chiefly
and
contemptuously
uses
his
tail
in
striking
at
a
boat
he
swiftly
curves
away
his
flukes
from
it
and
the
blow
is
only
inflicted
by
the
recoil
if
it
be
made
in
the
unobstructed
air
especially
if
it
descend
to
its
mark
the
stroke
is
then
simply
irresistible
no
ribs
of
man
or
boat
can
withstand
it
your
only
salvation
lies
in
eluding
it
but
if
it
comes
sideways
through
the
opposing
water
then
partly
owing
to
the
light
buoyancy
of
the
whaleboat
and
the
elasticity
of
its
materials
a
cracked
rib
or
a
dashed
plank
or
two
a
sort
of
stitch
in
the
side
is
generally
the
most
serious
result
these
submerged
side
blows
are
so
often
received
in
the
fishery
that
they
are
accounted
mere
childs
play
some
one
strips
off
a
frock
and
the
hole
is
stopped
third
i
cannot
demonstrate
it
but
it
seems
to
me
that
in
the
whale
the
sense
of
touch
is
concentrated
in
the
tail
for
in
this
respect
there
is
a
delicacy
in
it
only
equalled
by
the
daintiness
of
the
elephants
trunk
this
delicacy
is
chiefly
evinced
in
the
action
of
sweeping
when
in
maidenly
gentleness
the
whale
with
a
certain
soft
slowness
moves
his
immense
flukes
from
side
to
side
upon
the
surface
of
the
sea
and
if
he
feel
but
a
sailors
whisker
woe
to
that
sailor
whiskers
and
all
what
tenderness
there
is
in
that
preliminary
touch
had
this
tail
any
prehensile
power
i
should
straightway
bethink
me
of
darmonodes
elephant
that
so
frequented
the
flower
market
and
with
low
salutations
presented
nosegays
to
damsels
and
then
caressed
their
zones
on
more
accounts
than
one
a
pity
it
is
that
the
whale
does
not
possess
this
prehensile
virtue
in
his
tail
for
i
have
heard
of
yet
another
elephant
that
when
wounded
in
the
fight
curved
round
his
trunk
and
extracted
the
dart
fourth
stealing
unawares
upon
the
whale
in
the
fancied
security
of
the
middle
of
solitary
seas
you
find
him
unbent
from
the
vast
corpulence
of
his
dignity
and
kitten
like
he
plays
on
the
ocean
as
if
it
were
a
hearth
but
still
you
see
his
power
in
his
play
the
broad
palms
of
his
tail
are
flirted
high
into
the
air
then
smiting
the
surface
the
thunderous
concussion
resounds
for
miles
you
would
almost
think
a
great
gun
had
been
discharged
and
if
you
noticed
the
light
wreath
of
vapor
from
the
spiracle
at
his
other
extremity
you
would
think
that
that
was
the
smoke
from
the
touch
hole
fifth
as
in
the
ordinary
floating
posture
of
the
leviathan
the
flukes
lie
considerably
below
the
level
of
his
back
they
are
then
completely
out
of
sight
beneath
the
surface
but
when
he
is
about
to
plunge
into
the
deeps
his
entire
flukes
with
at
least
thirty
feet
of
his
body
are
tossed
erect
in
the
air
and
so
remain
vibrating
a
moment
till
they
downwards
shoot
out
of
view
excepting
the
sublime
breach
somewhere
else
to
be
described
this
peaking
of
the
whales
flukes
is
perhaps
the
grandest
sight
to
be
seen
in
all
animated
nature
out
of
the
bottomless
profundities
the
gigantic
tail
seems
spasmodically
snatching
at
the
highest
heaven
so
in
dreams
have
i
seen
majestic
satan
thrusting
forth
his
tormented
colossal
claw
from
the
flame
baltic
of
hell
but
in
gazing
at
such
scenes
it
is
all
in
all
what
mood
you
are
in
if
in
the
dantean
the
devils
will
occur
to
you
if
in
that
of
isaiah
the
archangels
standing
at
the
mast
head
of
my
ship
during
a
sunrise
that
crimsoned
sky
and
sea
i
once
saw
a
large
herd
of
whales
in
the
east
all
heading
towards
the
sun
and
for
a
moment
vibrating
in
concert
with
peaked
flukes
as
it
seemed
to
me
at
the
time
such
a
grand
embodiment
of
adoration
of
the
gods
was
never
beheld
even
in
persia
the
home
of
the
fire
worshippers
as
ptolemy
philopater
testified
of
the
african
elephant
i
then
testified
of
the
whale
pronouncing
him
the
most
devout
of
all
beings
for
according
to
king
juba
the
military
elephants
of
antiquity
often
hailed
the
morning
with
their
trunks
uplifted
in
the
profoundest
silence
the
chance
comparison
in
this
chapter
between
the
whale
and
the
elephant
so
far
as
some
aspects
of
the
tail
of
the
one
and
the
trunk
of
the
other
are
concerned
should
not
tend
to
place
those
two
opposite
organs
on
an
equality
much
less
the
creatures
to
which
they
respectively
belong
for
as
the
mightiest
elephant
is
but
a
terrier
to
leviathan
so
compared
with
leviathans
tail
his
trunk
is
but
the
stalk
of
a
lily
the
most
direful
blow
from
the
elephants
trunk
were
as
the
playful
tap
of
a
fan
compared
with
the
measureless
crush
and
crash
of
the
sperm
whales
ponderous
flukes
which
in
repeated
instances
have
one
after
the
other
hurled
entire
boats
with
all
their
oars
and
crews
into
the
air
very
much
as
an
indian
juggler
tosses
his
balls
the
more
i
consider
this
mighty
tail
the
more
do
i
deplore
my
inability
to
express
it
at
times
there
are
gestures
in
it
which
though
they
would
well
grace
the
hand
of
man
remain
wholly
inexplicable
in
an
extensive
herd
so
remarkable
occasionally
are
these
mystic
gestures
that
i
have
heard
hunters
who
have
declared
them
akin
to
free
mason
signs
and
symbols
that
the
whale
indeed
by
these
methods
intelligently
conversed
with
the
world
nor
are
there
wanting
other
motions
of
the
whale
in
his
general
body
full
of
strangeness
and
unaccountable
to
his
most
experienced
assailant
dissect
him
how
i
may
then
i
but
go
skin
deep
i
know
him
not
and
never
will
but
if
i
know
not
even
the
tail
of
this
whale
how
understand
his
head
much
more
how
comprehend
his
face
when
face
he
has
none
thou
shalt
see
my
back
parts
my
tail
he
seems
to
say
but
my
face
shall
not
be
seen
but
i
cannot
completely
make
out
his
back
parts
and
hint
what
he
will
about
his
face
i
say
again
he
has
no
face
though
all
comparison
in
the
way
of
general
bulk
between
the
whale
and
the
elephant
is
preposterous
inasmuch
as
in
that
particular
the
elephant
stands
in
much
the
same
respect
to
the
whale
that
a
dog
does
to
the
elephant
nevertheless
there
are
not
wanting
some
points
of
curious
similitude
among
these
is
the
spout
it
is
well
known
that
the
elephant
will
often
draw
up
water
or
dust
in
his
trunk
and
then
elevating
it
jet
it
forth
in
a
stream
the
long
and
narrow
peninsula
of
malacca
extending
south
eastward
from
the
territories
of
birmah
forms
the
most
southerly
point
of
all
asia
in
a
continuous
line
from
that
peninsula
stretch
the
long
islands
of
sumatra
java
bally
and
timor
which
with
many
others
form
a
vast
mole
or
rampart
lengthwise
connecting
asia
with
australia
and
dividing
the
long
unbroken
indian
ocean
from
the
thickly
studded
oriental
archipelagoes
this
rampart
is
pierced
by
several
sally
ports
for
the
convenience
of
ships
and
whales
conspicuous
among
which
are
the
straits
of
sunda
and
malacca
by
the
straits
of
sunda
chiefly
vessels
bound
to
china
from
the
west
emerge
into
the
china
seas
those
narrow
straits
of
sunda
divide
sumatra
from
java
and
standing
midway
in
that
vast
rampart
of
islands
buttressed
by
that
bold
green
promontory
known
to
seamen
as
java
head
they
not
a
little
correspond
to
the
central
gateway
opening
into
some
vast
walled
empire
and
considering
the
inexhaustible
wealth
of
spices
and
silks
and
jewels
and
gold
and
ivory
with
which
the
thousand
islands
of
that
oriental
sea
are
enriched
it
seems
a
significant
provision
of
nature
that
such
treasures
by
the
very
formation
of
the
land
should
at
least
bear
the
appearance
however
ineffectual
of
being
guarded
from
the
all
grasping
western
world
the
shores
of
the
straits
of
sunda
are
unsupplied
with
those
domineering
fortresses
which
guard
the
entrances
to
the
mediterranean
the
baltic
and
the
propontis
unlike
the
danes
these
orientals
do
not
demand
the
obsequious
homage
of
lowered
top
sails
from
the
endless
procession
of
ships
before
the
wind
which
for
centuries
past
by
night
and
by
day
have
passed
between
the
islands
of
sumatra
and
java
freighted
with
the
costliest
cargoes
of
the
east
but
while
they
freely
waive
a
ceremonial
like
this
they
do
by
no
means
renounce
their
claim
to
more
solid
tribute
time
out
of
mind
the
piratical
proas
of
the
malays
lurking
among
the
low
shaded
coves
and
islets
of
sumatra
have
sallied
out
upon
the
vessels
sailing
through
the
straits
fiercely
demanding
tribute
at
the
point
of
their
spears
though
by
the
repeated
bloody
chastisements
they
have
received
at
the
hands
of
european
cruisers
the
audacity
of
these
corsairs
has
of
late
been
somewhat
repressed
yet
even
at
the
present
day
we
occasionally
hear
of
english
and
american
vessels
which
in
those
waters
have
been
remorselessly
boarded
and
pillaged
with
a
fair
fresh
wind
the
pequod
was
now
drawing
nigh
to
these
straits
ahab
purposing
to
pass
through
them
into
the
javan
sea
and
thence
cruising
northwards
over
waters
known
to
be
frequented
here
and
there
by
the
sperm
whale
sweep
inshore
by
the
philippine
islands
and
gain
the
far
coast
of
japan
in
time
for
the
great
whaling
season
there
by
these
means
the
circumnavigating
pequod
would
sweep
almost
all
the
known
sperm
whale
cruising
grounds
of
the
world
previous
to
descending
upon
the
line
in
the
pacific
where
ahab
though
everywhere
else
foiled
in
his
pursuit
firmly
counted
upon
giving
battle
to
moby
dick
in
the
sea
he
was
most
known
to
frequent
and
at
a
season
when
he
might
most
reasonably
be
presumed
to
be
haunting
it
but
how
now
in
this
zoned
quest
does
ahab
touch
no
land
does
his
crew
drink
air
surely
he
will
stop
for
water
nay
for
a
long
time
now
the
circus
running
sun
has
raced
within
his
fiery
ring
and
needs
no
sustenance
but
whats
in
himself
so
ahab
mark
this
too
in
the
whaler
while
other
hulls
are
loaded
down
with
alien
stuff
to
be
transferred
to
foreign
wharves
the
world
wandering
whale
ship
carries
no
cargo
but
herself
and
crew
their
weapons
and
their
wants
she
has
a
whole
lakes
contents
bottled
in
her
ample
hold
she
is
ballasted
with
utilities
not
altogether
with
unusable
pig
lead
and
kentledge
she
carries
years
water
in
her
clear
old
prime
nantucket
water
which
when
three
years
afloat
the
nantucketer
in
the
pacific
prefers
to
drink
before
the
brackish
fluid
but
yesterday
rafted
off
in
casks
from
the
peruvian
or
indian
streams
hence
it
is
that
while
other
ships
may
have
gone
to
china
from
new
york
and
back
again
touching
at
a
score
of
ports
the
whale
ship
in
all
that
interval
may
not
have
sighted
one
grain
of
soil
her
crew
having
seen
no
man
but
floating
seamen
like
themselves
so
that
did
you
carry
them
the
news
that
another
flood
had
come
they
would
only
answer
well
boys
heres
the
ark
now
as
many
sperm
whales
had
been
captured
off
the
western
coast
of
java
in
the
near
vicinity
of
the
straits
of
sunda
indeed
as
most
of
the
ground
roundabout
was
generally
recognised
by
the
fishermen
as
an
excellent
spot
for
cruising
therefore
as
the
pequod
gained
more
and
more
upon
java
head
the
look
outs
were
repeatedly
hailed
and
admonished
to
keep
wide
awake
but
though
the
green
palmy
cliffs
of
the
land
soon
loomed
on
the
starboard
bow
and
with
delighted
nostrils
the
fresh
cinnamon
was
snuffed
in
the
air
yet
not
a
single
jet
was
descried
almost
renouncing
all
thought
of
falling
in
with
any
game
hereabouts
the
ship
had
well
nigh
entered
the
straits
when
the
customary
cheering
cry
was
heard
from
aloft
and
ere
long
a
spectacle
of
singular
magnificence
saluted
us
but
here
be
it
premised
that
owing
to
the
unwearied
activity
with
which
of
late
they
have
been
hunted
over
all
four
oceans
the
sperm
whales
instead
of
almost
invariably
sailing
in
small
detached
companies
as
in
former
times
are
now
frequently
met
with
in
extensive
herds
sometimes
embracing
so
great
a
multitude
that
it
would
almost
seem
as
if
numerous
nations
of
them
had
sworn
solemn
league
and
covenant
for
mutual
assistance
and
protection
to
this
aggregation
of
the
sperm
whale
into
such
immense
caravans
may
be
imputed
the
circumstance
that
even
in
the
best
cruising
grounds
you
may
now
sometimes
sail
for
weeks
and
months
together
without
being
greeted
by
a
single
spout
and
then
be
suddenly
saluted
by
what
sometimes
seems
thousands
on
thousands
broad
on
both
bows
at
the
distance
of
some
two
or
three
miles
and
forming
a
great
semicircle
embracing
one
half
of
the
level
horizon
a
continuous
chain
of
whale
jets
were
up
playing
and
sparkling
in
the
noon
day
air
unlike
the
straight
perpendicular
twin
jets
of
the
right
whale
which
dividing
at
top
falls
over
in
two
branches
like
the
cleft
drooping
boughs
of
a
willow
the
single
forward
slanting
spout
of
the
sperm
whale
presents
a
thick
curled
bush
of
white
mist
continually
rising
and
falling
away
to
leeward
seen
from
the
pequods
deck
then
as
she
would
rise
on
a
high
hill
of
the
sea
this
host
of
vapory
spouts
individually
curling
up
into
the
air
and
beheld
through
a
blending
atmosphere
of
bluish
haze
showed
like
the
thousand
cheerful
chimneys
of
some
dense
metropolis
descried
of
a
balmy
autumnal
morning
by
some
horseman
on
a
height
as
marching
armies
approaching
an
unfriendly
defile
in
the
mountains
accelerate
their
march
all
eagerness
to
place
that
perilous
passage
in
their
rear
and
once
more
expand
in
comparative
security
upon
the
plain
even
so
did
this
vast
fleet
of
whales
now
seem
hurrying
forward
through
the
straits
gradually
contracting
the
wings
of
their
semicircle
and
swimming
on
in
one
solid
but
still
crescentic
centre
crowding
all
sail
the
pequod
pressed
after
them
the
harpooneers
handling
their
weapons
and
loudly
cheering
from
the
heads
of
their
yet
suspended
boats
if
the
wind
only
held
little
doubt
had
they
that
chased
through
these
straits
of
sunda
the
vast
host
would
only
deploy
into
the
oriental
seas
to
witness
the
capture
of
not
a
few
of
their
number
and
who
could
tell
whether
in
that
congregated
caravan
moby
dick
himself
might
not
temporarily
be
swimming
like
the
worshipped
white
elephant
in
the
coronation
procession
of
the
siamese
so
with
stun
sail
piled
on
stun
sail
we
sailed
along
driving
these
leviathans
before
us
when
of
a
sudden
the
voice
of
tashtego
was
heard
loudly
directing
attention
to
something
in
our
wake
corresponding
to
the
crescent
in
our
van
we
beheld
another
in
our
rear
it
seemed
formed
of
detached
white
vapors
rising
and
falling
something
like
the
spouts
of
the
whales
only
they
did
not
so
completely
come
and
go
for
they
constantly
hovered
without
finally
disappearing
levelling
his
glass
at
this
sight
ahab
quickly
revolved
in
his
pivot
hole
crying
aloft
there
and
rig
whips
and
buckets
to
wet
the
sails
malays
sir
and
after
us
as
if
too
long
lurking
behind
the
headlands
till
the
pequod
should
fairly
have
entered
the
straits
these
rascally
asiatics
were
now
in
hot
pursuit
to
make
up
for
their
over
cautious
delay
but
when
the
swift
pequod
with
a
fresh
leading
wind
was
herself
in
hot
chase
how
very
kind
of
these
tawny
philanthropists
to
assist
in
speeding
her
on
to
her
own
chosen
pursuit
mere
riding
whips
and
rowels
to
her
that
they
were
as
with
glass
under
arm
ahab
to
and
fro
paced
the
deck
in
his
forward
turn
beholding
the
monsters
he
chased
and
in
the
after
one
the
bloodthirsty
pirates
chasing
him
some
such
fancy
as
the
above
seemed
his
and
when
he
glanced
upon
the
green
walls
of
the
watery
defile
in
which
the
ship
was
then
sailing
and
bethought
him
that
through
that
gate
lay
the
route
to
his
vengeance
and
beheld
how
that
through
that
same
gate
he
was
now
both
chasing
and
being
chased
to
his
deadly
end
and
not
only
that
but
a
herd
of
remorseless
wild
pirates
and
inhuman
atheistical
devils
were
infernally
cheering
him
on
with
their
curses
when
all
these
conceits
had
passed
through
his
brain
ahabs
brow
was
left
gaunt
and
ribbed
like
the
black
sand
beach
after
some
stormy
tide
has
been
gnawing
it
without
being
able
to
drag
the
firm
thing
from
its
place
but
thoughts
like
these
troubled
very
few
of
the
reckless
crew
and
when
after
steadily
dropping
and
dropping
the
pirates
astern
the
pequod
at
last
shot
by
the
vivid
green
cockatoo
point
on
the
sumatra
side
emerging
at
last
upon
the
broad
waters
beyond
then
the
harpooneers
seemed
more
to
grieve
that
the
swift
whales
had
been
gaining
upon
the
ship
than
to
rejoice
that
the
ship
had
so
victoriously
gained
upon
the
malays
but
still
driving
on
in
the
wake
of
the
whales
at
length
they
seemed
abating
their
speed
gradually
the
ship
neared
them
and
the
wind
now
dying
away
word
was
passed
to
spring
to
the
boats
but
no
sooner
did
the
herd
by
some
presumed
wonderful
instinct
of
the
sperm
whale
become
notified
of
the
three
keels
that
were
after
them
though
as
yet
a
mile
in
their
rear
than
they
rallied
again
and
forming
in
close
ranks
and
battalions
so
that
their
spouts
all
looked
like
flashing
lines
of
stacked
bayonets
moved
on
with
redoubled
velocity
stripped
to
our
shirts
and
drawers
we
sprang
to
the
white
ash
and
after
several
hours
pulling
were
almost
disposed
to
renounce
the
chase
when
a
general
pausing
commotion
among
the
whales
gave
animating
token
that
they
were
now
at
last
under
the
influence
of
that
strange
perplexity
of
inert
irresolution
which
when
the
fishermen
perceive
it
in
the
whale
they
say
he
is
gallied
the
compact
martial
columns
in
which
they
had
been
hitherto
rapidly
and
steadily
swimming
were
now
broken
up
in
one
measureless
rout
and
like
king
porus
elephants
in
the
indian
battle
with
alexander
they
seemed
going
mad
with
consternation
in
all
directions
expanding
in
vast
irregular
circles
and
aimlessly
swimming
hither
and
thither
by
their
short
thick
spoutings
they
plainly
betrayed
their
distraction
of
panic
this
was
still
more
strangely
evinced
by
those
of
their
number
who
completely
paralysed
as
it
were
helplessly
floated
like
water
logged
dismantled
ships
on
the
sea
had
these
leviathans
been
but
a
flock
of
simple
sheep
pursued
over
the
pasture
by
three
fierce
wolves
they
could
not
possibly
have
evinced
such
excessive
dismay
but
this
occasional
timidity
is
characteristic
of
almost
all
herding
creatures
though
banding
together
in
tens
of
thousands
the
lion
maned
buffaloes
of
the
west
have
fled
before
a
solitary
horseman
witness
too
all
human
beings
how
when
herded
together
in
the
sheepfold
of
a
theatres
pit
they
will
at
the
slightest
alarm
of
fire
rush
helter
skelter
for
the
outlets
crowding
trampling
jamming
and
remorselessly
dashing
each
other
to
death
best
therefore
withhold
any
amazement
at
the
strangely
gallied
whales
before
us
for
there
is
no
folly
of
the
beasts
of
the
earth
which
is
not
infinitely
outdone
by
the
madness
of
men
though
many
of
the
whales
as
has
been
said
were
in
violent
motion
yet
it
is
to
be
observed
that
as
a
whole
the
herd
neither
advanced
nor
retreated
but
collectively
remained
in
one
place
as
is
customary
in
those
cases
the
boats
at
once
separated
each
making
for
some
one
lone
whale
on
the
outskirts
of
the
shoal
in
about
three
minutes
time
queequegs
harpoon
was
flung
the
stricken
fish
darted
blinding
spray
in
our
faces
and
then
running
away
with
us
like
light
steered
straight
for
the
heart
of
the
herd
though
such
a
movement
on
the
part
of
the
whale
struck
under
such
circumstances
is
in
no
wise
unprecedented
and
indeed
is
almost
always
more
or
less
anticipated
yet
does
it
present
one
of
the
more
perilous
vicissitudes
of
the
fishery
for
as
the
swift
monster
drags
you
deeper
and
deeper
into
the
frantic
shoal
you
bid
adieu
to
circumspect
life
and
only
exist
in
a
delirious
throb
as
blind
and
deaf
the
whale
plunged
forward
as
if
by
sheer
power
of
speed
to
rid
himself
of
the
iron
leech
that
had
fastened
to
him
as
we
thus
tore
a
white
gash
in
the
sea
on
all
sides
menaced
as
we
flew
by
the
crazed
creatures
to
and
fro
rushing
about
us
our
beset
boat
was
like
a
ship
mobbed
by
ice
isles
in
a
tempest
and
striving
to
steer
through
their
complicated
channels
and
straits
knowing
not
at
what
moment
it
may
be
locked
in
and
crushed
but
not
a
bit
daunted
queequeg
steered
us
manfully
now
sheering
off
from
this
monster
directly
across
our
route
in
advance
now
edging
away
from
that
whose
colossal
flukes
were
suspended
overhead
while
all
the
time
starbuck
stood
up
in
the
bows
lance
in
hand
pricking
out
of
our
way
whatever
whales
he
could
reach
by
short
darts
for
there
was
no
time
to
make
long
ones
nor
were
the
oarsmen
quite
idle
though
their
wonted
duty
was
now
altogether
dispensed
with
they
chiefly
attended
to
the
shouting
part
of
the
business
out
of
the
way
commodore
cried
one
to
a
great
dromedary
that
of
a
sudden
rose
bodily
to
the
surface
and
for
an
instant
threatened
to
swamp
us
hard
down
with
your
tail
there
cried
a
second
to
another
which
close
to
our
gunwale
seemed
calmly
cooling
himself
with
his
own
fan
like
extremity
all
whaleboats
carry
certain
curious
contrivances
originally
invented
by
the
nantucket
indians
called
druggs
two
thick
squares
of
wood
of
equal
size
are
stoutly
clenched
together
so
that
they
cross
each
others
grain
at
right
angles
a
line
of
considerable
length
is
then
attached
to
the
middle
of
this
block
and
the
other
end
of
the
line
being
looped
it
can
in
a
moment
be
fastened
to
a
harpoon
it
is
chiefly
among
gallied
whales
that
this
drugg
is
used
for
then
more
whales
are
close
round
you
than
you
can
possibly
chase
at
one
time
but
sperm
whales
are
not
every
day
encountered
while
you
may
then
you
must
kill
all
you
can
and
if
you
cannot
kill
them
all
at
once
you
must
wing
them
so
that
they
can
be
afterwards
killed
at
your
leisure
hence
it
is
that
at
times
like
these
the
drugg
comes
into
requisition
our
boat
was
furnished
with
three
of
them
the
first
and
second
were
successfully
darted
and
we
saw
the
whales
staggeringly
running
off
fettered
by
the
enormous
sidelong
resistance
of
the
towing
drugg
they
were
cramped
like
malefactors
with
the
chain
and
ball
but
upon
flinging
the
third
in
the
act
of
tossing
overboard
the
clumsy
wooden
block
it
caught
under
one
of
the
seats
of
the
boat
and
in
an
instant
tore
it
out
and
carried
it
away
dropping
the
oarsman
in
the
boats
bottom
as
the
seat
slid
from
under
him
on
both
sides
the
sea
came
in
at
the
wounded
planks
but
we
stuffed
two
or
three
drawers
and
shirts
in
and
so
stopped
the
leaks
for
the
time
it
had
been
next
to
impossible
to
dart
these
drugged
harpoons
were
it
not
that
as
we
advanced
into
the
herd
our
whales
way
greatly
diminished
moreover
that
as
we
went
still
further
and
further
from
the
circumference
of
commotion
the
direful
disorders
seemed
waning
so
that
when
at
last
the
jerking
harpoon
drew
out
and
the
towing
whale
sideways
vanished
then
with
the
tapering
force
of
his
parting
momentum
we
glided
between
two
whales
into
the
innermost
heart
of
the
shoal
as
if
from
some
mountain
torrent
we
had
slid
into
a
serene
valley
lake
here
the
storms
in
the
roaring
glens
between
the
outermost
whales
were
heard
but
not
felt
in
this
central
expanse
the
sea
presented
that
smooth
satin
like
surface
called
a
sleek
produced
by
the
subtle
moisture
thrown
off
by
the
whale
in
his
more
quiet
moods
yes
we
were
now
in
that
enchanted
calm
which
they
say
lurks
at
the
heart
of
every
commotion
and
still
in
the
distracted
distance
we
beheld
the
tumults
of
the
outer
concentric
circles
and
saw
successive
pods
of
whales
eight
or
ten
in
each
swiftly
going
round
and
round
like
multiplied
spans
of
horses
in
a
ring
and
so
closely
shoulder
to
shoulder
that
a
titanic
circus
rider
might
easily
have
over
arched
the
middle
ones
and
so
have
gone
round
on
their
backs
owing
to
the
density
of
the
crowd
of
reposing
whales
more
immediately
surrounding
the
embayed
axis
of
the
herd
no
possible
chance
of
escape
was
at
present
afforded
us
we
must
watch
for
a
breach
in
the
living
wall
that
hemmed
us
in
the
wall
that
had
only
admitted
us
in
order
to
shut
us
up
keeping
at
the
centre
of
the
lake
we
were
occasionally
visited
by
small
tame
cows
and
calves
the
women
and
children
of
this
routed
host
now
inclusive
of
the
occasional
wide
intervals
between
the
revolving
outer
circles
and
inclusive
of
the
spaces
between
the
various
pods
in
any
one
of
those
circles
the
entire
area
at
this
juncture
embraced
by
the
whole
multitude
must
have
contained
at
least
two
or
three
square
miles
at
any
rate
though
indeed
such
a
test
at
such
a
time
might
be
deceptive
spoutings
might
be
discovered
from
our
low
boat
that
seemed
playing
up
almost
from
the
rim
of
the
horizon
i
mention
this
circumstance
because
as
if
the
cows
and
calves
had
been
purposely
locked
up
in
this
innermost
fold
and
as
if
the
wide
extent
of
the
herd
had
hitherto
prevented
them
from
learning
the
precise
cause
of
its
stopping
or
possibly
being
so
young
unsophisticated
and
every
way
innocent
and
inexperienced
however
it
may
have
been
these
smaller
whales
now
and
then
visiting
our
becalmed
boat
from
the
margin
of
the
lake
evinced
a
wondrous
fearlessness
and
confidence
or
else
a
still
becharmed
panic
which
it
was
impossible
not
to
marvel
at
like
household
dogs
they
came
snuffling
round
us
right
up
to
our
gunwales
and
touching
them
till
it
almost
seemed
that
some
spell
had
suddenly
domesticated
them
queequeg
patted
their
foreheads
starbuck
scratched
their
backs
with
his
lance
but
fearful
of
the
consequences
for
the
time
refrained
from
darting
it
but
far
beneath
this
wondrous
world
upon
the
surface
another
and
still
stranger
world
met
our
eyes
as
we
gazed
over
the
side
for
suspended
in
those
watery
vaults
floated
the
forms
of
the
nursing
mothers
of
the
whales
and
those
that
by
their
enormous
girth
seemed
shortly
to
become
mothers
the
lake
as
i
have
hinted
was
to
a
considerable
depth
exceedingly
transparent
and
as
human
infants
while
suckling
will
calmly
and
fixedly
gaze
away
from
the
breast
as
if
leading
two
different
lives
at
the
time
and
while
yet
drawing
mortal
nourishment
be
still
spiritually
feasting
upon
some
unearthly
reminiscence
even
so
did
the
young
of
these
whales
seem
looking
up
towards
us
but
not
at
us
as
if
we
were
but
a
bit
of
gulf
weed
in
their
new
born
sight
floating
on
their
sides
the
mothers
also
seemed
quietly
eyeing
us
one
of
these
little
infants
that
from
certain
queer
tokens
seemed
hardly
a
day
old
might
have
measured
some
fourteen
feet
in
length
and
some
six
feet
in
girth
he
was
a
little
frisky
though
as
yet
his
body
seemed
scarce
yet
recovered
from
that
irksome
position
it
had
so
lately
occupied
in
the
maternal
reticule
where
tail
to
head
and
all
ready
for
the
final
spring
the
unborn
whale
lies
bent
like
a
tartars
bow
the
delicate
side
fins
and
the
palms
of
his
flukes
still
freshly
retained
the
plaited
crumpled
appearance
of
a

arrived

foreign
parts

queequeg
pointing
down
as
when
the
stricken
whale
that
from
the
tub
has
reeled
out
hundreds
of
fathoms
of
rope
as
after
deep
sounding
he
floats
up
again
and
shows
the
slackened
curling
line
buoyantly
rising
and
spiralling
towards
the
air
so
now
starbuck
saw
long
coils
of
the
umbilical
cord
of
madame
leviathan
by
which
the
young
cub
seemed
still
tethered
to
its
dam
not
seldom
in
the
rapid
vicissitudes
of
the
chase
this
natural
line
with
the
maternal
end
loose
becomes
entangled
with
the
hempen
one
so
that
the
cub
is
thereby
trapped
some
of
the
subtlest
secrets
of
the
seas
seemed
divulged
to
us
in
this
enchanted
pond
we
saw
young
leviathan
amours
in
the
deep
and
thus
though
surrounded
by
circle
upon
circle
of
consternations
and
affrights
did
these
inscrutable
creatures
at
the
centre
freely
and
fearlessly
indulge
in
all
peaceful
concernments
yea
serenely
revelled
in
dalliance
and
delight
but
even
so
amid
the
tornadoed
atlantic
of
my
being
do
i
myself
still
for
ever
centrally
disport
in
mute
calm
and
while
ponderous
planets
of
unwaning
woe
revolve
round
me
deep
down
and
deep
inland
there
i
still
bathe
me
in
eternal
mildness
of
joy
meanwhile
as
we
thus
lay
entranced
the
occasional
sudden
frantic
spectacles
in
the
distance
evinced
the
activity
of
the
other
boats
still
engaged
in
drugging
the
whales
on
the
frontier
of
the
host
or
possibly
carrying
on
the
war
within
the
first
circle
where
abundance
of
room
and
some
convenient
retreats
were
afforded
them
but
the
sight
of
the
enraged
drugged
whales
now
and
then
blindly
darting
to
and
fro
across
the
circles
was
nothing
to
what
at
last
met
our
eyes
it
is
sometimes
the
custom
when
fast
to
a
whale
more
than
commonly
powerful
and
alert
to
seek
to
hamstring
him
as
it
were
by
sundering
or
maiming
his
gigantic
tail
tendon
it
is
done
by
darting
a
short
handled
cutting
spade
to
which
is
attached
a
rope
for
hauling
it
back
again
a
whale
wounded
as
we
afterwards
learned
in
this
part
but
not
effectually
as
it
seemed
had
broken
away
from
the
boat
carrying
along
with
him
half
of
the
harpoon
line
and
in
the
extraordinary
agony
of
the
wound
he
was
now
dashing
among
the
revolving
circles
like
the
lone
mounted
desperado
arnold
at
the
battle
of
saratoga
carrying
dismay
wherever
he
went
but
agonizing
as
was
the
wound
of
this
whale
and
an
appalling
spectacle
enough
any
way
yet
the
peculiar
horror
with
which
he
seemed
to
inspire
the
rest
of
the
herd
was
owing
to
a
cause
which
at
first
the
intervening
distance
obscured
from
us
but
at
length
we
perceived
that
by
one
of
the
unimaginable
accidents
of
the
fishery
this
whale
had
become
entangled
in
the
harpoon
line
that
he
towed
he
had
also
run
away
with
the
cutting
spade
in
him
and
while
the
free
end
of
the
rope
attached
to
that
weapon
had
permanently
caught
in
the
coils
of
the
harpoon
line
round
his
tail
the
cutting
spade
itself
had
worked
loose
from
his
flesh
so
that
tormented
to
madness
he
was
now
churning
through
the
water
violently
flailing
with
his
flexible
tail
and
tossing
the
keen
spade
about
him
wounding
and
murdering
his
own
comrades
this
terrific
object
seemed
to
recall
the
whole
herd
from
their
stationary
fright
first
the
whales
forming
the
margin
of
our
lake
began
to
crowd
a
little
and
tumble
against
each
other
as
if
lifted
by
half
spent
billows
from
afar
then
the
lake
itself
began
faintly
to
heave
and
swell
the
submarine
bridal
chambers
and
nurseries
vanished
in
more
and
more
contracting
orbits
the
whales
in
the
more
central
circles
began
to
swim
in
thickening
clusters
yes
the
long
calm
was
departing
a
low
advancing
hum
was
soon
heard
and
then
like
to
the
tumultuous
masses
of
block
ice
when
the
great
river
hudson
breaks
up
in
spring
the
entire
host
of
whales
came
tumbling
upon
their
inner
centre
as
if
to
pile
themselves
up
in
one
common
mountain
instantly
starbuck
and
queequeg
changed
places
starbuck
taking
the
stern
oars
oars
he
intensely
whispered
seizing
the
helm
gripe
your
oars
and
clutch
your
souls
now
my
god
men
stand
by
shove
him
off
you
queequeg
the
whale
there
prick
him
hit
him
stand
up
stand
up
and
stay
so
spring
men
pull
men
never
mind
their
backs
scrape
them
scrape
away
the
boat
was
now
all
but
jammed
between
two
vast
black
bulks
leaving
a
narrow
dardanelles
between
their
long
lengths
but
by
desperate
endeavor
we
at
last
shot
into
a
temporary
opening
then
giving
way
rapidly
and
at
the
same
time
earnestly
watching
for
another
outlet
after
many
similar
hair
breadth
escapes
we
at
last
swiftly
glided
into
what
had
just
been
one
of
the
outer
circles
but
now
crossed
by
random
whales
all
violently
making
for
one
centre
this
lucky
salvation
was
cheaply
purchased
by
the
loss
of
queequegs
hat
who
while
standing
in
the
bows
to
prick
the
fugitive
whales
had
his
hat
taken
clean
from
his
head
by
the
air
eddy
made
by
the
sudden
tossing
of
a
pair
of
broad
flukes
close
by
riotous
and
disordered
as
the
universal
commotion
now
was
it
soon
resolved
itself
into
what
seemed
a
systematic
movement
for
having
clumped
together
at
last
in
one
dense
body
they
then
renewed
their
onward
flight
with
augmented
fleetness
further
pursuit
was
useless
but
the
boats
still
lingered
in
their
wake
to
pick
up
what
drugged
whales
might
be
dropped
astern
and
likewise
to
secure
one
which
flask
had
killed
and
waifed
the
waif
is
a
pennoned
pole
two
or
three
of
which
are
carried
by
every
boat
and
which
when
additional
game
is
at
hand
are
inserted
upright
into
the
floating
body
of
a
dead
whale
both
to
mark
its
place
on
the
sea
and
also
as
token
of
prior
possession
should
the
boats
of
any
other
ship
draw
near
the
result
of
this
lowering
was
somewhat
illustrative
of
that
sagacious
saying
in
the
fishery
the
more
whales
the
less
fish
of
all
the
drugged
whales
only
one
was
captured
the
rest
contrived
to
escape
for
the
time
but
only
to
be
taken
as
will
hereafter
be
seen
by
some
other
craft
than
the
pequod
to
gally
or
gallow

to

confound

now
completely
obsolete
when
the
polite
landsman
first
hears
it
from
the
gaunt
nantucketer
he
is
apt
to
set
it
down
as
one
of
the
whalemans
self
derived
savageries
much
the
same
is
it
with
many
other
sinewy
saxonisms
of
this
sort
which
emigrated
to
new
england
rocks
with
the
noble
brawn
of
the
old
english
emigrants
in
the

of

thus
some
of
the
best
and
furthest
descended
english
words
the
etymological
howards
and
percys
are
now
democratised
nay
plebeianised
so
to
speak
in
the
new
world
the
sperm
whale
as
with
all
other
species
of
the
leviathan
but
unlike
most
other
fish
breeds
indifferently
at
all
seasons
after
a
gestation
which
may
probably
be
set
down
at
nine
months
producing
but
one
at
a
time
though
in
some
few
known
instances
giving
birth
to
an
esau
and
jacob
a
contingency
provided
for
in
suckling
by
two
teats
curiously
situated
one
on
each
side
of
the
anus
but
the
breasts
themselves
extend
upwards
from
that

by
chance
these
precious

by

has
been
tasted
by
man
it
might
do
well
with
strawberries
when
overflowing
with
mutual
esteem
the
whales
salute
more
hominum
the
previous
chapter
gave
account
of
an
immense
body
or
herd
of
sperm
whales
and
there
was
also
then
given
the
probable
cause
inducing
those
vast
aggregations
now
though
such
great
bodies
are
at
times
encountered
yet
as
must
have
been
seen
even
at
the
present
day
small
detached
bands
are
occasionally
observed
embracing
from
twenty
to
fifty
individuals
each
such
bands
are
known
as
schools
they
generally
are
of
two
sorts
those
composed
almost
entirely
of
females
and
those
mustering
none
but
young
vigorous
males
or
bulls
as
they
are
familiarly
designated
in
cavalier
attendance
upon
the
school
of
females
you
invariably
see
a
male
of
full
grown
magnitude
but
not
old
who
upon
any
alarm
evinces
his
gallantry
by
falling
in
the
rear
and
covering
the
flight
of
his
ladies
in
truth
this
gentleman
is
a
luxurious
ottoman
swimming
about
over
the
watery
world
surroundingly
accompanied
by
all
the
solaces
and
endearments
of
the
harem
the
contrast
between
this
ottoman
and
his
concubines
is
striking
because
while
he
is
always
of
the
largest
leviathanic
proportions
the
ladies
even
at
full
growth
are
not
more
than
one
third
of
the
bulk
of
an
average
sized
male
they
are
comparatively
delicate
indeed
i
dare
say
not
to
exceed
half
a
dozen
yards
round
the
waist
nevertheless
it
cannot
be
denied
that
upon
the
whole
they
are
hereditarily
entitled
to
en
bon
point
it
is
very
curious
to
watch
this
harem
and
its
lord
in
their
indolent
ramblings
like
fashionables
they
are
for
ever
on
the
move
in
leisurely
search
of
variety
you
meet
them
on
the
line
in
time
for
the
full
flower
of
the
equatorial
feeding
season
having
just
returned
perhaps
from
spending
the
summer
in
the
northern
seas
and
so
cheating
summer
of
all
unpleasant
weariness
and
warmth
by
the
time
they
have
lounged
up
and
down
the
promenade
of
the
equator
awhile
they
start
for
the
oriental
waters
in
anticipation
of
the
cool
season
there
and
so
evade
the
other
excessive
temperature
of
the
year
when
serenely
advancing
on
one
of
these
journeys
if
any
strange
suspicious
sights
are
seen
my
lord
whale
keeps
a
wary
eye
on
his
interesting
family
should
any
unwarrantably
pert
young
leviathan
coming
that
way
presume
to
draw
confidentially
close
to
one
of
the
ladies
with
what
prodigious
fury
the
bashaw
assails
him
and
chases
him
away
high
times
indeed
if
unprincipled
young
rakes
like
him
are
to
be
permitted
to
invade
the
sanctity
of
domestic
bliss
though
do
what
the
bashaw
will
he
cannot
keep
the
most
notorious
lothario
out
of
his
bed
for
alas
all
fish
bed
in
common
as
ashore
the
ladies
often
cause
the
most
terrible
duels
among
their
rival
admirers
just
so
with
the
whales
who
sometimes
come
to
deadly
battle
and
all
for
love
they
fence
with
their
long
lower
jaws
sometimes
locking
them
together
and
so
striving
for
the
supremacy
like
elks
that
warringly
interweave
their
antlers
not
a
few
are
captured
having
the
deep
scars
of
these
encounters
furrowed
heads
broken
teeth
scolloped
fins
and
in
some
instances
wrenched
and
dislocated
mouths
but
supposing
the
invader
of
domestic
bliss
to
betake
himself
away
at
the
first
rush
of
the
harems
lord
then
is
it
very
diverting
to
watch
that
lord
gently
he
insinuates
his
vast
bulk
among
them
again
and
revels
there
awhile
still
in
tantalizing
vicinity
to
young
lothario
like
pious
solomon
devoutly
worshipping
among
his
thousand
concubines
granting
other
whales
to
be
in
sight
the
fishermen
will
seldom
give
chase
to
one
of
these
grand
turks
for
these
grand
turks
are
too
lavish
of
their
strength
and
hence
their
unctuousness
is
small
as
for
the
sons
and
the
daughters
they
beget
why
those
sons
and
daughters
must
take
care
of
themselves
at
least
with
only
the
maternal
help
for
like
certain
other
omnivorous
roving
lovers
that
might
be
named
my
lord
whale
has
no
taste
for
the
nursery
however
much
for
the
bower
and
so
being
a
great
traveller
he
leaves
his
anonymous
babies
all
over
the
world
every
baby
an
exotic
in
good
time
nevertheless
as
the
ardor
of
youth
declines
as
years
and
dumps
increase
as
reflection
lends
her
solemn
pauses
in
short
as
a
general
lassitude
overtakes
the
sated
turk
then
a
love
of
ease
and
virtue
supplants
the
love
for
maidens
our
ottoman
enters
upon
the
impotent
repentant
admonitory
stage
of
life
forswears
disbands
the
harem
and
grown
to
an
exemplary
sulky
old
soul
goes
about
all
alone
among
the
meridians
and
parallels
saying
his
prayers
and
warning
each
young
leviathan
from
his
amorous
errors
now
as
the
harem
of
whales
is
called
by
the
fishermen
a
school
so
is
the
lord
and
master
of
that
school
technically
known
as
the
schoolmaster
it
is
therefore
not
in
strict
character
however
admirably
satirical
that
after
going
to
school
himself
he
should
then
go
abroad
inculcating
not
what
he
learned
there
but
the
folly
of
it
his
title
schoolmaster
would
very
naturally
seem
derived
from
the
name
bestowed
upon
the
harem
itself
but
some
have
surmised
that
the
man
who
first
thus
entitled
this
sort
of
ottoman
whale
must
have
read
the
memoirs
of
vidocq
and
informed
himself
what
sort
of
a
country
schoolmaster
that
famous
frenchman
was
in
his
younger
days
and
what
was
the
nature
of
those
occult
lessons
he
inculcated
into
some
of
his
pupils
the
same
secludedness
and
isolation
to
which
the
schoolmaster
whale
betakes
himself
in
his
advancing
years
is
true
of
all
aged
sperm
whales
almost
universally
a
lone
whale
as
a
solitary
leviathan
is
called
proves
an
ancient
one
like
venerable
moss
bearded
daniel
boone
he
will
have
no
one
near
him
but
nature
herself
and
her
he
takes
to
wife
in
the
wilderness
of
waters
and
the
best
of
wives
she
is
though
she
keeps
so
many
moody
secrets
the
schools
composing
none
but
young
and
vigorous
males
previously
mentioned
offer
a
strong
contrast
to
the
harem
schools
for
while
those
female
whales
are
characteristically
timid
the
young
males
or
forty
barrel
bulls
as
they
call
them
are
by
far
the
most
pugnacious
of
all
leviathans
and
proverbially
the
most
dangerous
to
encounter
excepting
those
wondrous
grey
headed
grizzled
whales
sometimes
met
and
these
will
fight
you
like
grim
fiends
exasperated
by
a
penal
gout
the
forty
barrel
bull
schools
are
larger
than
the
harem
schools
like
a
mob
of
young
collegians
they
are
full
of
fight
fun
and
wickedness
tumbling
round
the
world
at
such
a
reckless
rollicking
rate
that
no
prudent
underwriter
would
insure
them
any
more
than
he
would
a
riotous
lad
at
yale
or
harvard
they
soon
relinquish
this
turbulence
though
and
when
about
three
fourths
grown
break
up
and
separately
go
about
in
quest
of
settlements
that
is
harems
another
point
of
difference
between
the
male
and
female
schools
is
still
more
characteristic
of
the
sexes
say
you
strike
a
forty
barrel
bull
poor
devil
all
his
comrades
quit
him
but
strike
a
member
of
the
harem
school
and
her
companions
swim
around
her
with
every
token
of
concern
sometimes
lingering
so
near
her
and
so
long
as
themselves
to
fall
a
prey
the
allusion
to
the
waifs
and
waif
poles
in
the
last
chapter
but
one
necessitates
some
account
of
the
laws
and
regulations
of
the
whale
fishery
of
which
the
waif
may
be
deemed
the
grand
symbol
and
badge
it
frequently
happens
that
when
several
ships
are
cruising
in
company
a
whale
may
be
struck
by
one
vessel
then
escape
and
be
finally
killed
and
captured
by
another
vessel
and
herein
are
indirectly
comprised
many
minor
contingencies
all
partaking
of
this
one
grand
feature
for
example
after
a
weary
and
perilous
chase
and
capture
of
a
whale
the
body
may
get
loose
from
the
ship
by
reason
of
a
violent
storm
and
drifting
far
away
to
leeward
be
retaken
by
a
second
whaler
who
in
a
calm
snugly
tows
it
alongside
without
risk
of
life
or
line
thus
the
most
vexatious
and
violent
disputes
would
often
arise
between
the
fishermen
were
there
not
some
written
or
unwritten
universal
undisputed
law
applicable
to
all
cases
perhaps
the
only
formal
whaling
code
authorized
by
legislative
enactment
was
that
of
holland
it
was
decreed
by
the
states
general
in
a
d
but
though
no
other
nation
has
ever
had
any
written
whaling
law
yet
the
american
fishermen
have
been
their
own
legislators
and
lawyers
in
this
matter
they
have
provided
a
system
which
for
terse
comprehensiveness
surpasses
justinians
pandects
and
the
by
laws
of
the
chinese
society
for
the
suppression
of
meddling
with
other
peoples
business
yes
these
laws
might
be
engraven
on
a
queen
annes
farthing
or
the
barb
of
a
harpoon
and
worn
round
the
neck
so
small
are
they
i
a
fast
fish
belongs
to
the
party
fast
to
it
ii
a
loose
fish
is
fair
game
for
anybody
who
can
soonest
catch
it
but
what
plays
the
mischief
with
this
masterly
code
is
the
admirable
brevity
of
it
which
necessitates
a
vast
volume
of
commentaries
to
expound
it
first
what
is
a
fast
fish
alive
or
dead
a
fish
is
technically
fast
when
it
is
connected
with
an
occupied
ship
or
boat
by
any
medium
at
all
controllable
by
the
occupant

a

when

or
any
other
recognised
symbol
of

as

at
any

to
take
it

as
well
as
their
intention
so
to
do
these
are
scientific
commentaries
but
the
commentaries
of
the
whalemen
themselves
sometimes
consist
in
hard
words
and
harder
knocks

coke

littleton
of
the
fist
true
among
the
more
upright
and
honorable
whalemen
allowances
are
always
made
for
peculiar
cases
where
it
would
be
an
outrageous
moral
injustice
for
one
party
to
claim
possession
of
a
whale
previously
chased
or
killed
by
another
party
but
others
are
by
no
means
so
scrupulous
some
fifty
years
ago
there
was
a
curious
case
of
whale
trover
litigated
in
england
wherein
the
plaintiffs
set
forth
that
after
a
hard
chase
of
a
whale
in
the
northern
seas
and
when
indeed
they
the
plaintiffs
had
succeeded
in
harpooning
the
fish
they
were
at
last
through
peril
of
their
lives
obliged
to
forsake
not
only
their
lines
but
their
boat
itself
ultimately
the
defendants
the
crew
of
another
ship
came
up
with
the
whale
struck
killed
seized
and
finally
appropriated
it
before
the
very
eyes
of
the
plaintiffs
and
when
those
defendants
were
remonstrated
with
their
captain
snapped
his
fingers
in
the
plaintiffs
teeth
and
assured
them
that
by
way
of
doxology
to
the
deed
he
had
done
he
would
now
retain
their
line
harpoons
and
boat
which
had
remained
attached
to
the
whale
at
the
time
of
the
seizure
wherefore
the
plaintiffs
now
sued
for
the
recovery
of
the
value
of
their
whale
line
harpoons
and
boat
mr
erskine
was
counsel
for
the
defendants
lord
ellenborough
was
the
judge
in
the
course
of
the
defence
the
witty
erskine
went
on
to
illustrate
his
position
by
alluding
to
a
recent
crim
con
case
wherein
a
gentleman
after
in
vain
trying
to
bridle
his
wifes
viciousness
had
at
last
abandoned
her
upon
the
seas
of
life
but
in
the
course
of
years
repenting
of
that
step
he
instituted
an
action
to
recover
possession
of
her
erskine
was
on
the
other
side
and
he
then
supported
it
by
saying
that
though
the
gentleman
had
originally
harpooned
the
lady
and
had
once
had
her
fast
and
only
by
reason
of
the
great
stress
of
her
plunging
viciousness
had
as
last
abandoned
her
yet
abandon
her
he
did
so
that
she
became
a
loose
fish
and
therefore
when
a
subsequent
gentleman
re
harpooned
her
the
lady
then
became
that
subsequent
gentlemans
property
along
with
whatever
harpoon
might
have
been
found
sticking
in
her
now
in
the
present
case
erskine
contended
that
the
examples
of
the
whale
and
the
lady
were
reciprocally
illustrative
of
each
other
these
pleadings
and
the
counter
pleadings
being
duly
heard
the
very
learned
judge
in
set
terms
decided
to
wit
that
as
for
the
boat
he
awarded
it
to
the
plaintiffs
because
they
had
merely
abandoned
it
to
save
their
lives
but
that
with
regard
to
the
controverted
whale
harpoons
and
line
they
belonged
to
the
defendants
the
whale
because
it
was
a
loose
fish
at
the
time
of
the
final
capture
and
the
harpoons
and
line
because
when
the
fish
made
off
with
them
it
the
fish
acquired
a
property
in
those
articles
and
hence
anybody
who
afterwards
took
the
fish
had
a
right
to
them
now
the
defendants
afterwards
took
the
fish
ergo
the
aforesaid
articles
were
theirs
a
common
man
looking
at
this
decision
of
the
very
learned
judge
might
possibly
object
to
it
but
ploughed
up
to
the
primary
rock
of
the
matter
the
two
great
principles
laid
down
in
the
twin
whaling
laws
previously
quoted
and
applied
and
elucidated
by
lord
ellenborough
in
the
above
cited
case
these
two
laws
touching
fast
fish
and
loose
fish
i
say
will
on
reflection
be
found
the
fundamentals
of
all
human
jurisprudence
for
notwithstanding
its
complicated
tracery
of
sculpture
the
temple
of
the
law
like
the
temple
of
the
philistines
has
but
two
props
to
stand
on
is
it
not
a
saying
in
every
ones
mouth
possession
is
half
of
the
law
that
is
regardless
of
how
the
thing
came
into
possession
but
often
possession
is
the
whole
of
the
law
what
are
the
sinews
and
souls
of
russian
serfs
and
republican
slaves
but
fast
fish
whereof
possession
is
the
whole
of
the
law
what
to
the
rapacious
landlord
is
the
widows
last
mite
but
a
fast
fish
what
is
yonder
undetected
villains
marble
mansion
with
a
door
plate
for
a
waif
what
is
that
but
a
fast
fish
what
is
the
ruinous
discount
which
mordecai
the
broker
gets
from
poor
woebegone
the
bankrupt
on
a
loan
to
keep
woebegones
family
from
starvation
what
is
that
ruinous
discount
but
a
fast
fish
what
is
the
archbishop
of
savesouls
income
of
pounds
seized
from
the
scant
bread
and
cheese
of
hundreds
of
thousands
of
broken
backed
laborers
all
sure
of
heaven
without
any
of
savesouls
help
what
is
that
globular
but
a
fast
fish
what
are
the
duke
of
dunders
hereditary
towns
and
hamlets
but
fast
fish
what
to
that
redoubted
harpooneer
john
bull
is
poor
ireland
but
a
fast
fish
what
to
that
apostolic
lancer
brother
jonathan
is
texas
but
a
fast
fish
and
concerning
all
these
is
not
possession
the
whole
of
the
law
but
if
the
doctrine
of
fast
fish
be
pretty
generally
applicable
the
kindred
doctrine
of
loose
fish
is
still
more
widely
so
that
is
internationally
and
universally
applicable
what
was
america
in
but
a
loose
fish
in
which
columbus
struck
the
spanish
standard
by
way
of
waifing
it
for
his
royal
master

mistress
what

what

what
at

will
mexico
be
to
the

all
loose

what
are
the
rights
of

the
liberties

but
loose

what
all

bracton
l
c
latin
from
the
books
of
the
laws
of
england
which
taken
along
with
the
context
means
that
of
all
whales
captured
by
anybody
on
the
coast
of
that
land
the
king
as
honorary
grand
harpooneer
must
have
the
head
and
the

be
respectfully
presented
with
the
tail
a
division
which
in
the
whale
is
much
like
halving
an
apple
there
is
no
intermediate
remainder
now
as
this
law
under
a
modified
form
is
to
this
day
in
force
in
england
and
as
it
offers
in
various
respects
a
strange
anomaly
touching
the
general
law
of
fast
and
loose
fish
it
is
here
treated
of
in
a
separate
chapter
on
the
same
courteous
principle
that
prompts
the
english
railways
to
be
at
the
expense
of
a
separate
car
specially
reserved
for
the
accommodation
of
royalty
in
the
first
place
in
curious
proof
of
the
fact
that
the
above
mentioned
law
is
still
in
force
i
proceed
to
lay
before
you
a
circumstance
that
happened
within
the
last
two
years
it
seems
that
some
honest
mariners
of
dover
or
sandwich
or
some
one
of
the
cinque
ports
had
after
a
hard
chase
succeeded
in
killing
and
beaching
a
fine
whale
which
they
had
originally
descried
afar
off
from
the
shore
now
the
cinque
ports
are
partially
or
somehow
under
the
jurisdiction
of
a
sort
of
policeman
or
beadle
called
a
lord
warden
holding
the
office
directly
from
the
crown
i
believe
all
the
royal
emoluments
incident
to
the
cinque
port
territories
become
by
assignment
his
by
some
writers
this
office
is
called
a
sinecure
but
not
so
because
the
lord
warden
is
busily
employed
at
times
in
fobbing
his
perquisites
which
are
his
chiefly
by
virtue
of
that
same
fobbing
of
them
now
when
these
poor
sun
burnt
mariners
bare
footed
and
with
their
trowsers
rolled
high
up
on
their
eely
legs
had
wearily
hauled
their
fat
fish
high
and
dry
promising
themselves
a
good
pounds
from
the
precious
oil
and
bone
and
in
fantasy
sipping
rare
tea
with
their
wives
and
good
ale
with
their
cronies
upon
the
strength
of
their
respective
shares
up
steps
a
very
learned
and
most
christian
and
charitable
gentleman
with
a
copy
of
blackstone
under
his
arm
and
laying
it
upon
the
whales
head
he
says
hands
off
this
fish
my
masters
is
a
fast
fish
i
seize
it
as
the
lord
wardens
upon
this
the
poor
mariners
in
their
respectful
consternation
so
truly
english
knowing
not
what
to
say
fall
to
vigorously
scratching
their
heads
all
round
meanwhile
ruefully
glancing
from
the
whale
to
the
stranger
but
that
did
in
nowise
mend
the
matter
or
at
all
soften
the
hard
heart
of
the
learned
gentleman
with
the
copy
of
blackstone
at
length
one
of
them
after
long
scratching
about
for
his
ideas
made
bold
to
speak
please
sir
who
is
the
lord
warden
the
duke
but
the
duke
had
nothing
to
do
with
taking
this
fish
it
is
his
we
have
been
at
great
trouble
and
peril
and
some
expense
and
is
all
that
to
go
to
the
dukes
benefit
we
getting
nothing
at
all
for
our
pains
but
our
blisters
it
is
his
is
the
duke
so
very
poor
as
to
be
forced
to
this
desperate
mode
of
getting
a
livelihood
it
is
his
i
thought
to
relieve
my
old
bed
ridden
mother
by
part
of
my
share
of
this
whale
it
is
his
wont
the
duke
be
content
with
a
quarter
or
a
half
it
is
his
in
a
word
the
whale
was
seized
and
sold
and
his
grace
the
duke
of
wellington
received
the
money
thinking
that
viewed
in
some
particular
lights
the
case
might
by
a
bare
possibility
in
some
small
degree
be
deemed
under
the
circumstances
a
rather
hard
one
an
honest
clergyman
of
the
town
respectfully
addressed
a
note
to
his
grace
begging
him
to
take
the
case
of
those
unfortunate
mariners
into
full
consideration
to
which
my
lord
duke
in
substance
replied
both
letters
were
published
that
he
had
already
done
so
and
received
the
money
and
would
be
obliged
to
the
reverend
gentleman
if
for
the
future
he
the
reverend
gentleman
would
decline
meddling
with
other
peoples
business
is
this
the
still
militant
old
man
standing
at
the
corners
of
the
three
kingdoms
on
all
hands
coercing
alms
of
beggars
it
will
readily
be
seen
that
in
this
case
the
alleged
right
of
the
duke
to
the
whale
was
a
delegated
one
from
the
sovereign
we
must
needs
inquire
then
on
what
principle
the
sovereign
is
originally
invested
with
that
right
the
law
itself
has
already
been
set
forth
but
plowdon
gives
us
the
reason
for
it
says
plowdon
the
whale
so
caught
belongs
to
the
king
and
queen
because
of
its
superior
excellence
and
by
the
soundest
commentators
this
has
ever
been
held
a
cogent
argument
in
such
matters
but
why
should
the
king
have
the
head
and
the
queen
the
tail
a
reason
for
that
ye
lawyers
in
his
treatise
on
queen
gold
or
queen
pinmoney
an
old
kings
bench
author
one
william
prynne
thus
discourseth
ye
tail
is
ye
queens
that
ye
queens
wardrobe
may
be
supplied
with
ye
whalebone
now
this
was
written
at
a
time
when
the
black
limber
bone
of
the
greenland
or
right
whale
was
largely
used
in
ladies
bodices
but
this
same
bone
is
not
in
the
tail
it
is
in
the
head
which
is
a
sad
mistake
for
a
sagacious
lawyer
like
prynne
but
is
the
queen
a
mermaid
to
be
presented
with
a
tail
an
allegorical
meaning
may
lurk
here
there
are
two
royal
fish
so
styled
by
the
english
law
writers
the
whale
and
the
sturgeon
both
royal
property
under
certain
limitations
and
nominally
supplying
the
tenth
branch
of
the
crowns
ordinary
revenue
i
know
not
that
any
other
author
has
hinted
of
the
matter
but
by
inference
it
seems
to
me
that
the
sturgeon
must
be
divided
in
the
same
way
as
the
whale
the
king
receiving
the
highly
dense
and
elastic
head
peculiar
to
that
fish
which
symbolically
regarded
may
possibly
be
humorously
grounded
upon
some
presumed
congeniality
and
thus
there
seems
a
reason
in
all
things
even
in
law
in
vain
it
was
to
rake
for
ambergriese
in
the
paunch
of
this
leviathan
insufferable
fetor
denying
not
inquiry
sir
t
browne
v
e
it
was
a
week
or
two
after
the
last
whaling
scene
recounted
and
when
we
were
slowly
sailing
over
a
sleepy
vapory
mid
day
sea
that
the
many
noses
on
the
pequods
deck
proved
more
vigilant
discoverers
than
the
three
pairs
of
eyes
aloft
a
peculiar
and
not
very
pleasant
smell
was
smelt
in
the
sea
i
will
bet
something
now
said
stubb
that
somewhere
hereabouts
are
some
of
those
drugged
whales
we
tickled
the
other
day
i
thought
they
would
keel
up
before
long
presently
the
vapors
in
advance
slid
aside
and
there
in
the
distance
lay
a
ship
whose
furled
sails
betokened
that
some
sort
of
whale
must
be
alongside
as
we
glided
nearer
the
stranger
showed
french
colors
from
his
peak
and
by
the
eddying
cloud
of
vulture
sea
fowl
that
circled
and
hovered
and
swooped
around
him
it
was
plain
that
the
whale
alongside
must
be
what
the
fishermen
call
a
blasted
whale
that
is
a
whale
that
has
died
unmolested
on
the
sea
and
so
floated
an
unappropriated
corpse
it
may
well
be
conceived
what
an
unsavory
odor
such
a
mass
must
exhale
worse
than
an
assyrian
city
in
the
plague
when
the
living
are
incompetent
to
bury
the
departed
so
intolerable
indeed
is
it
regarded
by
some
that
no
cupidity
could
persuade
them
to
moor
alongside
of
it
yet
are
there
those
who
will
still
do
it
notwithstanding
the
fact
that
the
oil
obtained
from
such
subjects
is
of
a
very
inferior
quality
and
by
no
means
of
the
nature
of
attar
of
rose
coming
still
nearer
with
the
expiring
breeze
we
saw
that
the
frenchman
had
a
second
whale
alongside
and
this
second
whale
seemed
even
more
of
a
nosegay
than
the
first
in
truth
it
turned
out
to
be
one
of
those
problematical
whales
that
seem
to
dry
up
and
die
with
a
sort
of
prodigious
dyspepsia
or
indigestion
leaving
their
defunct
bodies
almost
entirely
bankrupt
of
anything
like
oil
nevertheless
in
the
proper
place
we
shall
see
that
no
knowing
fisherman
will
ever
turn
up
his
nose
at
such
a
whale
as
this
however
much
he
may
shun
blasted
whales
in
general
the
pequod
had
now
swept
so
nigh
to
the
stranger
that
stubb
vowed
he
recognized
his
cutting
spade
pole
entangled
in
the
lines
that
were
knotted
round
the
tail
of
one
of
these
whales
theres
a
pretty
fellow
now
he
banteringly
laughed
standing
in
the
ships
bows
theres
a
jackal
for
ye
i
well
know
that
these
crappoes
of
frenchmen
are
but
poor
devils
in
the
fishery
sometimes
lowering
their
boats
for
breakers
mistaking
them
for
sperm
whale
spouts
yes
and
sometimes
sailing
from
their
port
with
their
hold
full
of
boxes
of
tallow
candles
and
cases
of
snuffers
foreseeing
that
all
the
oil
they
will
get
wont
be
enough
to
dip
the
captains
wick
into
aye
we
all
know
these
things
but
look
ye
heres
a
crappo
that
is
content
with
our
leavings
the
drugged
whale
there
i
mean
aye
and
is
content
too
with
scraping
the
dry
bones
of
that
other
precious
fish
he
has
there
poor
devil
i
say
pass
round
a
hat
some
one
and
lets
make
him
a
present
of
a
little
oil
for
dear
charitys
sake
for
what
oil
hell
get
from
that
drugged
whale
there
wouldnt
be
fit
to
burn
in
a
jail
no
not
in
a
condemned
cell
and
as
for
the
other
whale
why
ill
agree
to
get
more
oil
by
chopping
up
and
trying
out
these
three
masts
of
ours
than
hell
get
from
that
bundle
of
bones
though
now
that
i
think
of
it
it
may
contain
something
worth
a
good
deal
more
than
oil
yes
ambergris
i
wonder
now
if
our
old
man
has
thought
of
that
its
worth
trying
yes
im
for
it
and
so
saying
he
started
for
the
quarter
deck
by
this
time
the
faint
air
had
become
a
complete
calm
so
that
whether
or
no
the
pequod
was
now
fairly
entrapped
in
the
smell
with
no
hope
of
escaping
except
by
its
breezing
up
again
issuing
from
the
cabin
stubb
now
called
his
boats
crew
and
pulled
off
for
the
stranger
drawing
across
her
bow
he
perceived
that
in
accordance
with
the
fanciful
french
taste
the
upper
part
of
her
stem
piece
was
carved
in
the
likeness
of
a
huge
drooping
stalk
was
painted
green
and
for
thorns
had
copper
spikes
projecting
from
it
here
and
there
the
whole
terminating
in
a
symmetrical
folded
bulb
of
a
bright
red
color
upon
her
head
boards
in
large
gilt
letters
he
read
bouton
de
rose
rose
button
or
rose
bud
and
this
was
the
romantic
name
of
this
aromatic
ship
though
stubb
did
not
understand
the
bouton
part
of
the
inscription
yet
the
word
rose
and
the
bulbous
figure
head
put
together
sufficiently
explained
the
whole
to
him
a
wooden
rose
bud
eh
he
cried
with
his
hand
to
his
nose
that
will
do
very
well
but
how
like
all
creation
it
smells
now
in
order
to
hold
direct
communication
with
the
people
on
deck
he
had
to
pull
round
the
bows
to
the
starboard
side
and
thus
come
close
to
the
blasted
whale
and
so
talk
over
it
arrived
then
at
this
spot
with
one
hand
still
to
his
nose
he
bawled
bouton
de
rose
ahoy
are
there
any
of
you
bouton
de
roses
that
speak
english
yes
rejoined
a
guernsey
man
from
the
bulwarks
who
turned
out
to
be
the
chief
mate
well
then
my
bouton
de
rose
bud
have
you
seen
the
white
whale
what
whale
the
white
whale
a
sperm
whale
moby
dick
have
ye
seen
him
never
heard
of
such
a
whale
cachalot
blanche
white
whale
no
very
good
then
good
bye
now
and
ill
call
again
in
a
minute
then
rapidly
pulling
back
towards
the
pequod
and
seeing
ahab
leaning
over
the
quarter
deck
rail
awaiting
his
report
he
moulded
his
two
hands
into
a
trumpet
and
shouted
no
sir
no
upon
which
ahab
retired
and
stubb
returned
to
the
frenchman
he
now
perceived
that
the
guernsey
man
who
had
just
got
into
the
chains
and
was
using
a
cutting
spade
had
slung
his
nose
in
a
sort
of
bag
whats
the
matter
with
your
nose
there
said
stubb
broke
it
i
wish
it
was
broken
or
that
i
didnt
have
any
nose
at
all
answered
the
guernsey
man
who
did
not
seem
to
relish
the
job
he
was
at
very
much
but
what
are
you
holding
yours
for
oh
nothing
its
a
wax
nose
i
have
to
hold
it
on
fine
day
aint
it
air
rather
gardenny
i
should
say
throw
us
a
bunch
of
posies
will
ye
bouton
de
rose
what
in
the
devils
name
do
you
want
here
roared
the
guernsey
man
flying
into
a
sudden
passion
oh
keep
cool
cool
yes
thats
the
word
why
dont
you
pack
those
whales
in
ice
while
youre
working
at
em
but
joking
aside
though
do
you
know
rose
bud
that
its
all
nonsense
trying
to
get
any
oil
out
of
such
whales
as
for
that
dried
up
one
there
he
hasnt
a
gill
in
his
whole
carcase
i
know
that
well
enough
but
dye
see
the
captain
here
wont
believe
it
this
is
his
first
voyage
he
was
a
cologne
manufacturer
before
but
come
aboard
and
mayhap
hell
believe
you
if
he
wont
me
and
so
ill
get
out
of
this
dirty
scrape
anything
to
oblige
ye
my
sweet
and
pleasant
fellow
rejoined
stubb
and
with
that
he
soon
mounted
to
the
deck
there
a
queer
scene
presented
itself
the
sailors
in
tasselled
caps
of
red
worsted
were
getting
the
heavy
tackles
in
readiness
for
the
whales
but
they
worked
rather
slow
and
talked
very
fast
and
seemed
in
anything
but
a
good
humor
all
their
noses
upwardly
projected
from
their
faces
like
so
many
jib
booms
now
and
then
pairs
of
them
would
drop
their
work
and
run
up
to
the
mast
head
to
get
some
fresh
air
some
thinking
they
would
catch
the
plague
dipped
oakum
in
coal
tar
and
at
intervals
held
it
to
their
nostrils
others
having
broken
the
stems
of
their
pipes
almost
short
off
at
the
bowl
were
vigorously
puffing
tobacco
smoke
so
that
it
constantly
filled
their
olfactories
stubb
was
struck
by
a
shower
of
outcries
and
anathemas
proceeding
from
the
captains
round
house
abaft
and
looking
in
that
direction
saw
a
fiery
face
thrust
from
behind
the
door
which
was
held
ajar
from
within
this
was
the
tormented
surgeon
who
after
in
vain
remonstrating
against
the
proceedings
of
the
day
had
betaken
himself
to
the
captains
round
house
cabinet
he
called
it
to
avoid
the
pest
but
still
could
not
help
yelling
out
his
entreaties
and
indignations
at
times
marking
all
this
stubb
argued
well
for
his
scheme
and
turning
to
the
guernsey
man
had
a
little
chat
with
him
during
which
the
stranger
mate
expressed
his
detestation
of
his
captain
as
a
conceited
ignoramus
who
had
brought
them
all
into
so
unsavory
and
unprofitable
a
pickle
sounding
him
carefully
stubb
further
perceived
that
the
guernsey
man
had
not
the
slightest
suspicion
concerning
the
ambergris
he
therefore
held
his
peace
on
that
head
but
otherwise
was
quite
frank
and
confidential
with
him
so
that
the
two
quickly
concocted
a
little
plan
for
both
circumventing
and
satirizing
the
captain
without
his
at
all
dreaming
of
distrusting
their
sincerity
according
to
this
little
plan
of
theirs
the
guernsey
man
under
cover
of
an
interpreters
office
was
to
tell
the
captain
what
he
pleased
but
as
coming
from
stubb
and
as
for
stubb
he
was
to
utter
any
nonsense
that
should
come
uppermost
in
him
during
the
interview
by
this
time
their
destined
victim
appeared
from
his
cabin
he
was
a
small
and
dark
but
rather
delicate
looking
man
for
a
sea
captain
with
large
whiskers
and
moustache
however
and
wore
a
red
cotton
velvet
vest
with
watch
seals
at
his
side
to
this
gentleman
stubb
was
now
politely
introduced
by
the
guernsey
man
who
at
once
ostentatiously
put
on
the
aspect
of
interpreting
between
them
what
shall
i
say
to
him
first
said
he
why
said
stubb
eyeing
the
velvet
vest
and
the
watch
and
seals
you
may
as
well
begin
by
telling
him
that
he
looks
a
sort
of
babyish
to
me
though
i
dont
pretend
to
be
a
judge
he
says
monsieur
said
the
guernsey
man
in
french
turning
to
his
captain
that
only
yesterday
his
ship
spoke
a
vessel
whose
captain
and
chief
mate
with
six
sailors
had
all
died
of
a
fever
caught
from
a
blasted
whale
they
had
brought
alongside
upon
this
the
captain
started
and
eagerly
desired
to
know
more
what
now
said
the
guernsey
man
to
stubb
why
since
he
takes
it
so
easy
tell
him
that
now
i
have
eyed
him
carefully
im
quite
certain
that
hes
no
more
fit
to
command
a
whale
ship
than
a
st
jago
monkey
in
fact
tell
him
from
me
hes
a
baboon
he
vows
and
declares
monsieur
that
the
other
whale
the
dried
one
is
far
more
deadly
than
the
blasted
one
in
fine
monsieur
he
conjures
us
as
we
value
our
lives
to
cut
loose
from
these
fish
instantly
the
captain
ran
forward
and
in
a
loud
voice
commanded
his
crew
to
desist
from
hoisting
the
cutting
tackles
and
at
once
cast
loose
the
cables
and
chains
confining
the
whales
to
the
ship
what
now
said
the
guernsey
man
when
the
captain
had
returned
to
them
why
let
me
see
yes
you
may
as
well
tell
him
now
that
that
in
fact
tell
him
ive
diddled
him
and
aside
to
himself
perhaps
somebody
else
he
says
monsieur
that
hes
very
happy
to
have
been
of
any
service
to
us
hearing
this
the
captain
vowed
that
they
were
the
grateful
parties
meaning
himself
and
mate
and
concluded
by
inviting
stubb
down
into
his
cabin
to
drink
a
bottle
of
bordeaux
he
wants
you
to
take
a
glass
of
wine
with
him
said
the
interpreter
thank
him
heartily
but
tell
him
its
against
my
principles
to
drink
with
the
man
ive
diddled
in
fact
tell
him
i
must
go
he
says
monsieur
that
his
principles
wont
admit
of
his
drinking
but
that
if
monsieur
wants
to
live
another
day
to
drink
then
monsieur
had
best
drop
all
four
boats
and
pull
the
ship
away
from
these
whales
for
its
so
calm
they
wont
drift
by
this
time
stubb
was
over
the
side
and
getting
into
his
boat
hailed
the
guernsey
man
to
this
effect
that
having
a
long
tow
line
in
his
boat
he
would
do
what
he
could
to
help
them
by
pulling
out
the
lighter
whale
of
the
two
from
the
ships
side
while
the
frenchmans
boats
then
were
engaged
in
towing
the
ship
one
way
stubb
benevolently
towed
away
at
his
whale
the
other
way
ostentatiously
slacking
out
a
most
unusually
long
tow
line
presently
a
breeze
sprang
up
stubb
feigned
to
cast
off
from
the
whale
hoisting
his
boats
the
frenchman
soon
increased
his
distance
while
the
pequod
slid
in
between
him
and
stubbs
whale
whereupon
stubb
quickly
pulled
to
the
floating
body
and
hailing
the
pequod
to
give
notice
of
his
intentions
at
once
proceeded
to
reap
the
fruit
of
his
unrighteous
cunning
seizing
his
sharp
boat
spade
he
commenced
an
excavation
in
the
body
a
little
behind
the
side
fin
you
would
almost
have
thought
he
was
digging
a
cellar
there
in
the
sea
and
when
at
length
his
spade
struck
against
the
gaunt
ribs
it
was
like
turning
up
old
roman
tiles
and
pottery
buried
in
fat
english
loam
his
boats
crew
were
all
in
high
excitement
eagerly
helping
their
chief
and
looking
as
anxious
as
gold
hunters
and
all
the
time
numberless
fowls
were
diving
and
ducking
and
screaming
and
yelling
and
fighting
around
them
stubb
was
beginning
to
look
disappointed
especially
as
the
horrible
nosegay
increased
when
suddenly
from
out
the
very
heart
of
this
plague
there
stole
a
faint
stream
of
perfume
which
flowed
through
the
tide
of
bad
smells
without
being
absorbed
by
it
as
one
river
will
flow
into
and
then
along
with
another
without
at
all
blending
with
it
for
a
time
i
have
it
i
have
it
cried
stubb
with
delight
striking
something
in
the
subterranean
regions
a
purse
a
purse
dropping
his
spade
he
thrust
both
hands
in
and
drew
out
handfuls
of
something
that
looked
like
ripe
windsor
soap
or
rich
mottled
old
cheese
very
unctuous
and
savory
withal
you
might
easily
dent
it
with
your
thumb
it
is
of
a
hue
between
yellow
and
ash
color
and
this
good
friends
is
ambergris
worth
a
gold
guinea
an
ounce
to
any
druggist
some
six
handfuls
were
obtained
but
more
was
unavoidably
lost
in
the
sea
and
still
more
perhaps
might
have
been
secured
were
it
not
for
impatient
ahabs
loud
command
to
stubb
to
desist
and
come
on
board
else
the
ship
would
bid
them
good
bye
now
this
ambergris
is
a
very
curious
substance
and
so
important
as
an
article
of
commerce
that
in
a
certain
nantucket
born
captain
coffin
was
examined
at
the
bar
of
the
english
house
of
commons
on
that
subject
for
at
that
time
and
indeed
until
a
comparatively
late
day
the
precise
origin
of
ambergris
remained
like
amber
itself
a
problem
to
the
learned
though
the
word
ambergris
is
but
the
french
compound
for
grey
amber
yet
the
two
substances
are
quite
distinct
for
amber
though
at
times
found
on
the
sea
coast
is
also
dug
up
in
some
far
inland
soils
whereas
ambergris
is
never
found
except
upon
the
sea
besides
amber
is
a
hard
transparent
brittle
odorless
substance
used
for
mouth
pieces
to
pipes
for
beads
and
ornaments
but
ambergris
is
soft
waxy
and
so
highly
fragrant
and
spicy
that
it
is
largely
used
in
perfumery
in
pastiles
precious
candles
hair
powders
and
pomatum
the
turks
use
it
in
cooking
and
also
carry
it
to
mecca
for
the
same
purpose
that
frankincense
is
carried
to
st
peters
in
rome
some
wine
merchants
drop
a
few
grains
into
claret
to
flavor
it
who
would
think
then
that
such
fine
ladies
and
gentlemen
should
regale
themselves
with
an
essence
found
in
the
inglorious
bowels
of
a
sick
whale
yet
so
it
is
by
some
ambergris
is
supposed
to
be
the
cause
and
by
others
the
effect
of
the
dyspepsia
in
the
whale
how
to
cure
such
a
dyspepsia
it
were
hard
to
say
unless
by
administering
three
or
four
boat
loads
of
brandreths
pills
and
then
running
out
of
harms
way
as
laborers
do
in
blasting
rocks
i
have
forgotten
to
say
that
there
were
found
in
this
ambergris
certain
hard
round
bony
plates
which
at
first
stubb
thought
might
be
sailors
trousers
buttons
but
it
afterwards
turned
out
that
they
were
nothing
more
than
pieces
of
small
squid
bones
embalmed
in
that
manner
now
that
the
incorruption
of
this
most
fragrant
ambergris
should
be
found
in
the
heart
of
such
decay
is
this
nothing
bethink
thee
of
that
saying
of
st
paul
in
corinthians
about
corruption
and
incorruption
how
that
we
are
sown
in
dishonor
but
raised
in
glory
and
likewise
call
to
mind
that
saying
of
paracelsus
about
what
it
is
that
maketh
the
best
musk
also
forget
not
the
strange
fact
that
of
all
things
of
ill
savor
cologne
water
in
its
rudimental
manufacturing
stages
is
the
worst
i
should
like
to
conclude
the
chapter
with
the
above
appeal
but
cannot
owing
to
my
anxiety
to
repel
a
charge
often
made
against
whalemen
and
which
in
the
estimation
of
some
already
biased
minds
might
be
considered
as
indirectly
substantiated
by
what
has
been
said
of
the
frenchmans
two
whales
elsewhere
in
this
volume
the
slanderous
aspersion
has
been
disproved
that
the
vocation
of
whaling
is
throughout
a
slatternly
untidy
business
but
there
is
another
thing
to
rebut
they
hint
that
all
whales
always
smell
bad
now
how
did
this
odious
stigma
originate
i
opine
that
it
is
plainly
traceable
to
the
first
arrival
of
the
greenland
whaling
ships
in
london
more
than
two
centuries
ago
because
those
whalemen
did
not
then
and
do
not
now
try
out
their
oil
at
sea
as
the
southern
ships
have
always
done
but
cutting
up
the
fresh
blubber
in
small
bits
thrust
it
through
the
bung
holes
of
large
casks
and
carry
it
home
in
that
manner
the
shortness
of
the
season
in
those
icy
seas
and
the
sudden
and
violent
storms
to
which
they
are
exposed
forbidding
any
other
course
the
consequence
is
that
upon
breaking
into
the
hold
and
unloading
one
of
these
whale
cemeteries
in
the
greenland
dock
a
savor
is
given
forth
somewhat
similar
to
that
arising
from
excavating
an
old
city
grave
yard
for
the
foundations
of
a
lying
in
hospital
i
partly
surmise
also
that
this
wicked
charge
against
whalers
may
be
likewise
imputed
to
the
existence
on
the
coast
of
greenland
in
former
times
of
a
dutch
village
called
schmerenburgh
or
smeerenberg
which
latter
name
is
the
one
used
by
the
learned
fogo
von
slack
in
his
great
work
on
smells
a
textbook
on
that
subject
as
its
name
imports
smeer
fat
berg
to
put
up
this
village
was
founded
in
order
to
afford
a
place
for
the
blubber
of
the
dutch
whale
fleet
to
be
tried
out
without
being
taken
home
to
holland
for
that
purpose
it
was
a
collection
of
furnaces
fat
kettles
and
oil
sheds
and
when
the
works
were
in
full
operation
certainly
gave
forth
no
very
pleasant
savor
but
all
this
is
quite
different
from
a
south
sea
sperm
whaler
which
in
a
voyage
of
four
years
perhaps
after
completely
filling
her
hold
with
oil
does
not
perhaps
consume
fifty
days
in
the
business
of
boiling
out
and
in
the
state
that
it
is
casked
the
oil
is
nearly
scentless
the
truth
is
that
living
or
dead
if
but
decently
treated
whales
as
a
species
are
by
no
means
creatures
of
ill
odor
nor
can
whalemen
be
recognised
as
the
people
of
the
middle
ages
affected
to
detect
a
jew
in
the
company
by
the
nose
nor
indeed
can
the
whale
possibly
be
otherwise
than
fragrant
when
as
a
general
thing
he
enjoys
such
high
health
taking
abundance
of
exercise
always
out
of
doors
though
it
is
true
seldom
in
the
open
air
i
say
that
the
motion
of
a
sperm
whales
flukes
above
water
dispenses
a
perfume
as
when
a
musk
scented
lady
rustles
her
dress
in
a
warm
parlor
what
then
shall
i
liken
the
sperm
whale
to
for
fragrance
considering
his
magnitude
must
it
not
be
to
that
famous
elephant
with
jewelled
tusks
and
redolent
with
myrrh
which
was
led
out
of
an
indian
town
to
do
honor
to
alexander
the
great
it
was
but
some
few
days
after
encountering
the
frenchman
that
a
most
significant
event
befell
the
most
insignificant
of
the
pequods
crew
an
event
most
lamentable
and
which
ended
in
providing
the
sometimes
madly
merry
and
predestinated
craft
with
a
living
and
ever
accompanying
prophecy
of
whatever
shattered
sequel
might
prove
her
own
now
in
the
whale
ship
it
is
not
every
one
that
goes
in
the
boats
some
few
hands
are
reserved
called
ship
keepers
whose
province
it
is
to
work
the
vessel
while
the
boats
are
pursuing
the
whale
as
a
general
thing
these
ship
keepers
are
as
hardy
fellows
as
the
men
comprising
the
boats
crews
but
if
there
happen
to
be
an
unduly
slender
clumsy
or
timorous
wight
in
the
ship
that
wight
is
certain
to
be
made
a
ship
keeper
it
was
so
in
the
pequod
with
the
little
negro
pippin
by
nick
name
pip
by
abbreviation
poor
pip
ye
have
heard
of
him
before
ye
must
remember
his
tambourine
on
that
dramatic
midnight
so
gloomy
jolly
in
outer
aspect
pip
and
dough
boy
made
a
match
like
a
black
pony
and
a
white
one
of
equal
developments
though
of
dissimilar
color
driven
in
one
eccentric
span
but
while
hapless
dough
boy
was
by
nature
dull
and
torpid
in
his
intellects
pip
though
over
tender
hearted
was
at
bottom
very
bright
with
that
pleasant
genial
jolly
brightness
peculiar
to
his
tribe
a
tribe
which
ever
enjoy
all
holidays
and
festivities
with
finer
freer
relish
than
any
other
race
for
blacks
the
years
calendar
should
show
naught
but
three
hundred
and
sixty
five
fourth
of
julys
and
new
years
days
nor
smile
so
while
i
write
that
this
little
black
was
brilliant
for
even
blackness
has
its
brilliancy
behold
yon
lustrous
ebony
panelled
in
kings
cabinets
but
pip
loved
life
and
all
lifes
peaceable
securities
so
that
the
panic
striking
business
in
which
he
had
somehow
unaccountably
become
entrapped
had
most
sadly
blurred
his
brightness
though
as
ere
long
will
be
seen
what
was
thus
temporarily
subdued
in
him
in
the
end
was
destined
to
be
luridly
illumined
by
strange
wild
fires
that
fictitiously
showed
him
off
to
ten
times
the
natural
lustre
with
which
in
his
native
tolland
county
in
connecticut
he
had
once
enlivened
many
a
fiddlers
frolic
on
the
green
and
at
melodious
even
tide
with
his
gay
ha
ha
had
turned
the
round
horizon
into
one
star
belled
tambourine
so
though
in
the
clear
air
of
day
suspended
against
a
blue
veined
neck
the
pure
watered
diamond
drop
will
healthful
glow
yet
when
the
cunning
jeweller
would
show
you
the
diamond
in
its
most
impressive
lustre
he
lays
it
against
a
gloomy
ground
and
then
lights
it
up
not
by
the
sun
but
by
some
unnatural
gases
then
come
out
those
fiery
effulgences
infernally
superb
then
the
evil
blazing
diamond
once
the
divinest
symbol
of
the
crystal
skies
looks
like
some
crown
jewel
stolen
from
the
king
of
hell
but
let
us
to
the
story
it
came
to
pass
that
in
the
ambergris
affair
stubbs
after
oarsman
chanced
so
to
sprain
his
hand
as
for
a
time
to
become
quite
maimed
and
temporarily
pip
was
put
into
his
place
the
first
time
stubb
lowered
with
him
pip
evinced
much
nervousness
but
happily
for
that
time
escaped
close
contact
with
the
whale
and
therefore
came
off
not
altogether
discreditably
though
stubb
observing
him
took
care
afterwards
to
exhort
him
to
cherish
his
courageousness
to
the
utmost
for
he
might
often
find
it
needful
now
upon
the
second
lowering
the
boat
paddled
upon
the
whale
and
as
the
fish
received
the
darted
iron
it
gave
its
customary
rap
which
happened
in
this
instance
to
be
right
under
poor
pips
seat
the
involuntary
consternation
of
the
moment
caused
him
to
leap
paddle
in
hand
out
of
the
boat
and
in
such
a
way
that
part
of
the
slack
whale
line
coming
against
his
chest
he
breasted
it
overboard
with
him
so
as
to
become
entangled
in
it
when
at
last
plumping
into
the
water
that
instant
the
stricken
whale
started
on
a
fierce
run
the
line
swiftly
straightened
and
presto
poor
pip
came
all
foaming
up
to
the
chocks
of
the
boat
remorselessly
dragged
there
by
the
line
which
had
taken
several
turns
around
his
chest
and
neck
tashtego
stood
in
the
bows
he
was
full
of
the
fire
of
the
hunt
he
hated
pip
for
a
poltroon
snatching
the
boat
knife
from
its
sheath
he
suspended
its
sharp
edge
over
the
line
and
turning
towards
stubb
exclaimed
interrogatively
cut
meantime
pips
blue
choked
face
plainly
looked
do
for
gods
sake
all
passed
in
a
flash
in
less
than
half
a
minute
this
entire
thing
happened
damn
him
cut
roared
stubb
and
so
the
whale
was
lost
and
pip
was
saved
so
soon
as
he
recovered
himself
the
poor
little
negro
was
assailed
by
yells
and
execrations
from
the
crew
tranquilly
permitting
these
irregular
cursings
to
evaporate
stubb
then
in
a
plain
business
like
but
still
half
humorous
manner
cursed
pip
officially
and
that
done
unofficially
gave
him
much
wholesome
advice
the
substance
was
never
jump
from
a
boat
pip
except
but
all
the
rest
was
indefinite
as
the
soundest
advice
ever
is
now
in
general
stick
to
the
boat
is
your
true
motto
in
whaling
but
cases
will
sometimes
happen
when
leap
from
the
boat
is
still
better
moreover
as
if
perceiving
at
last
that
if
he
should
give
undiluted
conscientious
advice
to
pip
he
would
be
leaving
him
too
wide
a
margin
to
jump
in
for
the
future
stubb
suddenly
dropped
all
advice
and
concluded
with
a
peremptory
command
stick
to
the
boat
pip
or
by
the
lord
i
wont
pick
you
up
if
you
jump
mind
that
we
cant
afford
to
lose
whales
by
the
likes
of
you
a
whale
would
sell
for
thirty
times
what
you
would
pip
in
alabama
bear
that
in
mind
and
dont
jump
any
more
hereby
perhaps
stubb
indirectly
hinted
that
though
man
loved
his
fellow
yet
man
is
a
money
making
animal
which
propensity
too
often
interferes
with
his
benevolence
but
we
are
all
in
the
hands
of
the
gods
and
pip
jumped
again
it
was
under
very
similar
circumstances
to
the
first
performance
but
this
time
he
did
not
breast
out
the
line
and
hence
when
the
whale
started
to
run
pip
was
left
behind
on
the
sea
like
a
hurried
travellers
trunk
alas
stubb
was
but
too
true
to
his
word
it
was
a
beautiful
bounteous
blue
day
the
spangled
sea
calm
and
cool
and
flatly
stretching
away
all
round
to
the
horizon
like
gold
beaters
skin
hammered
out
to
the
extremest
bobbing
up
and
down
in
that
sea
pips
ebon
head
showed
like
a
head
of
cloves
no
boat
knife
was
lifted
when
he
fell
so
rapidly
astern
stubbs
inexorable
back
was
turned
upon
him
and
the
whale
was
winged
in
three
minutes
a
whole
mile
of
shoreless
ocean
was
between
pip
and
stubb
out
from
the
centre
of
the
sea
poor
pip
turned
his
crisp
curling
black
head
to
the
sun
another
lonely
castaway
though
the
loftiest
and
the
brightest
now
in
calm
weather
to
swim
in
the
open
ocean
is
as
easy
to
the
practised
swimmer
as
to
ride
in
a
spring
carriage
ashore
but
the
awful
lonesomeness
is
intolerable
the
intense
concentration
of
self
in
the
middle
of
such
a
heartless
immensity
my
god
who
can
tell
it
mark
how
when
sailors
in
a
dead
calm
bathe
in
the
open
sea
mark
how
closely
they
hug
their
ship
and
only
coast
along
her
sides
but
had
stubb
really
abandoned
the
poor
little
negro
to
his
fate
no
he
did
not
mean
to
at
least
because
there
were
two
boats
in
his
wake
and
he
supposed
no
doubt
that
they
would
of
course
come
up
to
pip
very
quickly
and
pick
him
up
though
indeed
such
considerations
towards
oarsmen
jeopardized
through
their
own
timidity
is
not
always
manifested
by
the
hunters
in
all
similar
instances
and
such
instances
not
unfrequently
occur
almost
invariably
in
the
fishery
a
coward
so
called
is
marked
with
the
same
ruthless
detestation
peculiar
to
military
navies
and
armies
but
it
so
happened
that
those
boats
without
seeing
pip
suddenly
spying
whales
close
to
them
on
one
side
turned
and
gave
chase
and
stubbs
boat
was
now
so
far
away
and
he
and
all
his
crew
so
intent
upon
his
fish
that
pips
ringed
horizon
began
to
expand
around
him
miserably
by
the
merest
chance
the
ship
itself
at
last
rescued
him
but
from
that
hour
the
little
negro
went
about
the
deck
an
idiot
such
at
least
they
said
he
was
the
sea
had
jeeringly
kept
his
finite
body
up
but
drowned
the
infinite
of
his
soul
not
drowned
entirely
though
rather
carried
down
alive
to
wondrous
depths
where
strange
shapes
of
the
unwarped
primal
world
glided
to
and
fro
before
his
passive
eyes
and
the
miser
merman
wisdom
revealed
his
hoarded
heaps
and
among
the
joyous
heartless
ever
juvenile
eternities
pip
saw
the
multitudinous
god
omnipresent
coral
insects
that
out
of
the
firmament
of
waters
heaved
the
colossal
orbs
he
saw
gods
foot
upon
the
treadle
of
the
loom
and
spoke
it
and
therefore
his
shipmates
called
him
mad
so
mans
insanity
is
heavens
sense
and
wandering
from
all
mortal
reason
man
comes
at
last
to
that
celestial
thought
which
to
reason
is
absurd
and
frantic
and
weal
or
woe
feels
then
uncompromised
indifferent
as
his
god
for
the
rest
blame
not
stubb
too
hardly
the
thing
is
common
in
that
fishery
and
in
the
sequel
of
the
narrative
it
will
then
be
seen
what
like
abandonment
befell
myself
that
whale
of
stubbs
so
dearly
purchased
was
duly
brought
to
the
pequods
side
where
all
those
cutting
and
hoisting
operations
previously
detailed
were
regularly
gone
through
even
to
the
baling
of
the
heidelburgh
tun
or
case
while
some
were
occupied
with
this
latter
duty
others
were
employed
in
dragging
away
the
larger
tubs
so
soon
as
filled
with
the
sperm
and
when
the
proper
time
arrived
this
same
sperm
was
carefully
manipulated
ere
going
to
the
try
works
of
which
anon
it
had
cooled
and
crystallized
to
such
a
degree
that
when
with
several
others
i
sat
down
before
a
large
constantines
bath
of
it
i
found
it
strangely
concreted
into
lumps
here
and
there
rolling
about
in
the
liquid
part
it
was
our
business
to
squeeze
these
lumps
back
into
fluid
a
sweet
and
unctuous
duty
no
wonder
that
in
old
times
this
sperm
was
such
a
favorite
cosmetic
such
a
clearer
such
a
sweetener
such
a
softener
such
a
delicious
mollifier
after
having
my
hands
in
it
for
only
a
few
minutes
my
fingers
felt
like
eels
and
began
as
it
were
to
serpentine
and
spiralize
as
i
sat
there
at
my
ease
cross
legged
on
the
deck
after
the
bitter
exertion
at
the
windlass
under
a
blue
tranquil
sky
the
ship
under
indolent
sail
and
gliding
so
serenely
along
as
i
bathed
my
hands
among
those
soft
gentle
globules
of
infiltrated
tissues
woven
almost
within
the
hour
as
they
richly
broke
to
my
fingers
and
discharged
all
their
opulence
like
fully
ripe
grapes
their
wine
as
i
snuffed
up
that
uncontaminated
aroma
literally
and
truly
like
the
smell
of
spring
violets
i
declare
to
you
that
for
the
time
i
lived
as
in
a
musky
meadow
i
forgot
all
about
our
horrible
oath
in
that
inexpressible
sperm
i
washed
my
hands
and
my
heart
of
it
i
almost
began
to
credit
the
old
paracelsan
superstition
that
sperm
is
of
rare
virtue
in
allaying
the
heat
of
anger
while
bathing
in
that
bath
i
felt
divinely
free
from
all
ill
will
or
petulence
or
malice
of
any
sort
whatsoever
squeeze
squeeze
squeeze
all
the
morning
long
i
squeezed
that
sperm
till
i
myself
almost
melted
into
it
i
squeezed
that
sperm
till
a
strange
sort
of
insanity
came
over
me
and
i
found
myself
unwittingly
squeezing
my
co
laborers
hands
in
it
mistaking
their
hands
for
the
gentle
globules
such
an
abounding
affectionate
friendly
loving
feeling
did
this
avocation
beget
that
at
last
i
was
continually
squeezing
their
hands
and
looking
up
into
their
eyes
sentimentally
as
much
as
to
say
oh
my
dear
fellow
beings
why
should
we
longer
cherish
any
social
acerbities
or
know
the
slightest
ill
humor
or
envy
come
let
us
squeeze
hands
all
round
nay
let
us
all
squeeze
ourselves
into
each
other
let
us
squeeze
ourselves
universally
into
the
very
milk
and
sperm
of
kindness
would
that
i
could
keep
squeezing
that
sperm
for
ever
for
now
since
by
many
prolonged
repeated
experiences
i
have
perceived
that
in
all
cases
man
must
eventually
lower
or
at
least
shift
his
conceit
of
attainable
felicity
not
placing
it
anywhere
in
the
intellect
or
the
fancy
but
in
the
wife
the
heart
the
bed
the
table
the
saddle
the
fire
side
the
country
now
that
i
have
perceived
all
this
i
am
ready
to
squeeze
case
eternally
in
thoughts
of
the
visions
of
the
night
i
saw
long
rows
of
angels
in
paradise
each
with
his
hands
in
a
jar
of
spermaceti
now
while
discoursing
of
sperm
it
behooves
to
speak
of
other
things
akin
to
it
in
the
business
of
preparing
the
sperm
whale
for
the
try
works
first
comes
white
horse
so
called
which
is
obtained
from
the
tapering
part
of
the
fish
and
also
from
the
thicker
portions
of
his
flukes
it
is
tough
with
congealed
tendons
a
wad
of
muscle
but
still
contains
some
oil
after
being
severed
from
the
whale
the
white
horse
is
first
cut
into
portable
oblongs
ere
going
to
the
mincer
they
look
much
like
blocks
of
berkshire
marble
plum
pudding
is
the
term
bestowed
upon
certain
fragmentary
parts
of
the
whales
flesh
here
and
there
adhering
to
the
blanket
of
blubber
and
often
participating
to
a
considerable
degree
in
its
unctuousness
it
is
a
most
refreshing
convivial
beautiful
object
to
behold
as
its
name
imports
it
is
of
an
exceedingly
rich
mottled
tint
with
a
bestreaked
snowy
and
golden
ground
dotted
with
spots
of
the
deepest
crimson
and
purple
it
is
plums
of
rubies
in
pictures
of
citron
spite
of
reason
it
is
hard
to
keep
yourself
from
eating
it
i
confess
that
once
i
stole
behind
the
foremast
to
try
it
it
tasted
something
as
i
should
conceive
a
royal
cutlet
from
the
thigh
of
louis
le
gros
might
have
tasted
supposing
him
to
have
been
killed
the
first
day
after
the
venison
season
and
that
particular
venison
season
contemporary
with
an
unusually
fine
vintage
of
the
vineyards
of
champagne
there
is
another
substance
and
a
very
singular
one
which
turns
up
in
the
course
of
this
business
but
which
i
feel
it
to
be
very
puzzling
adequately
to
describe
it
is
called
slobgollion
an
appellation
original
with
the
whalemen
and
even
so
is
the
nature
of
the
substance
it
is
an
ineffably
oozy
stringy
affair
most
frequently
found
in
the
tubs
of
sperm
after
a
prolonged
squeezing
and
subsequent
decanting
i
hold
it
to
be
the
wondrously
thin
ruptured
membranes
of
the
case
coalescing
gurry
so
called
is
a
term
properly
belonging
to
right
whalemen
but
sometimes
incidentally
used
by
the
sperm
fishermen
it
designates
the
dark
glutinous
substance
which
is
scraped
off
the
back
of
the
greenland
or
right
whale
and
much
of
which
covers
the
decks
of
those
inferior
souls
who
hunt
that
ignoble
leviathan
nippers
strictly
this
word
is
not
indigenous
to
the
whales
vocabulary
but
as
applied
by
whalemen
it
becomes
so
a
whalemans
nipper
is
a
short
firm
strip
of
tendinous
stuff
cut
from
the
tapering
part
of
leviathans
tail
it
averages
an
inch
in
thickness
and
for
the
rest
is
about
the
size
of
the
iron
part
of
a
hoe
edgewise
moved
along
the
oily
deck
it
operates
like
a
leathern
squilgee
and
by
nameless
blandishments
as
of
magic
allures
along
with
it
all
impurities
but
to
learn
all
about
these
recondite
matters
your
best
way
is
at
once
to
descend
into
the
blubber
room
and
have
a
long
talk
with
its
inmates
this
place
has
previously
been
mentioned
as
the
receptacle
for
the
blanket
pieces
when
stript
and
hoisted
from
the
whale
when
the
proper
time
arrives
for
cutting
up
its
contents
this
apartment
is
a
scene
of
terror
to
all
tyros
especially
by
night
on
one
side
lit
by
a
dull
lantern
a
space
has
been
left
clear
for
the
workmen
they
generally
go
in
pairs
a
pike
and
gaff
man
and
a
spade
man
the
whaling
pike
is
similar
to
a
frigates
boarding
weapon
of
the
same
name
the
gaff
is
something
like
a
boat
hook
with
his
gaff
the
gaffman
hooks
on
to
a
sheet
of
blubber
and
strives
to
hold
it
from
slipping
as
the
ship
pitches
and
lurches
about
meanwhile
the
spade
man
stands
on
the
sheet
itself
perpendicularly
chopping
it
into
the
portable
horse
pieces
this
spade
is
sharp
as
hone
can
make
it
the
spademans
feet
are
shoeless
the
thing
he
stands
on
will
sometimes
irresistibly
slide
away
from
him
like
a
sledge
if
he
cuts
off
one
of
his
own
toes
or
one
of
his
assistants
would
you
be
very
much
astonished
toes
are
scarce
among
veteran
blubber
room
men
had
you
stepped
on
board
the
pequod
at
a
certain
juncture
of
this
post
mortemizing
of
the
whale
and
had
you
strolled
forward
nigh
the
windlass
pretty
sure
am
i
that
you
would
have
scanned
with
no
small
curiosity
a
very
strange
enigmatical
object
which
you
would
have
seen
there
lying
along
lengthwise
in
the
lee
scuppers
not
the
wondrous
cistern
in
the
whales
huge
head
not
the
prodigy
of
his
unhinged
lower
jaw
not
the
miracle
of
his
symmetrical
tail
none
of
these
would
so
surprise
you
as
half
a
glimpse
of
that
unaccountable
cone
longer
than
a
kentuckian
is
tall
nigh
a
foot
in
diameter
at
the
base
and
jet
black
as
yojo
the
ebony
idol
of
queequeg
and
an
idol
indeed
it
is
or
rather
in
old
times
its
likeness
was
such
an
idol
as
that
found
in
the
secret
groves
of
queen
maachah
in
judea
and
for
worshipping
which
king
asa
her
son
did
depose
her
and
destroyed
the
idol
and
burnt
it
for
an
abomination
at
the
brook
kedron
as
darkly
set
forth
in
the
th
chapter
of
the
first
book
of
kings
look
at
the
sailor
called
the
mincer
who
now
comes
along
and
assisted
by
two
allies
heavily
backs
the
grandissimus
as
the
mariners
call
it
and
with
bowed
shoulders
staggers
off
with
it
as
if
he
were
a
grenadier
carrying
a
dead
comrade
from
the
field
extending
it
upon
the
forecastle
deck
he
now
proceeds
cylindrically
to
remove
its
dark
pelt
as
an
african
hunter
the
pelt
of
a
boa
this
done
he
turns
the
pelt
inside
out
like
a
pantaloon
leg
gives
it
a
good
stretching
so
as
almost
to
double
its
diameter
and
at
last
hangs
it
well
spread
in
the
rigging
to
dry
ere
long
it
is
taken
down
when
removing
some
three
feet
of
it
towards
the
pointed
extremity
and
then
cutting
two
slits
for
arm
holes
at
the
other
end
he
lengthwise
slips
himself
bodily
into
it
the
mincer
now
stands
before
you
invested
in
the
full
canonicals
of
his
calling
immemorial
to
all
his
order
this
investiture
alone
will
adequately
protect
him
while
employed
in
the
peculiar
functions
of
his
office
that
office
consists
in
mincing
the
horse
pieces
of
blubber
for
the
pots
an
operation
which
is
conducted
at
a
curious
wooden
horse
planted
endwise
against
the
bulwarks
and
with
a
capacious
tub
beneath
it
into
which
the
minced
pieces
drop
fast
as
the
sheets
from
a
rapt
orators
desk
arrayed
in
decent
black
occupying
a
conspicuous
pulpit
intent
on
bible
leaves
what
a
candidate
for
an
archbishoprick
what
a
lad
for
a
pope
were
this
mincer
bible
leaves
bible
leaves
this
is
the
invariable
cry
from
the
mates
to
the
mincer
it
enjoins
him
to
be
careful
and
cut
his
work
into
as
thin
slices
as
possible
inasmuch
as
by
so
doing
the
business
of
boiling
out
the
oil
is
much
accelerated
and
its
quantity
considerably
increased
besides
perhaps
improving
it
in
quality
besides
her
hoisted
boats
an
american
whaler
is
outwardly
distinguished
by
her
try
works
she
presents
the
curious
anomaly
of
the
most
solid
masonry
joining
with
oak
and
hemp
in
constituting
the
completed
ship
it
is
as
if
from
the
open
field
a
brick
kiln
were
transported
to
her
planks
the
try
works
are
planted
between
the
foremast
and
main
mast
the
most
roomy
part
of
the
deck
the
timbers
beneath
are
of
a
peculiar
strength
fitted
to
sustain
the
weight
of
an
almost
solid
mass
of
brick
and
mortar
some
ten
feet
by
eight
square
and
five
in
height
the
foundation
does
not
penetrate
the
deck
but
the
masonry
is
firmly
secured
to
the
surface
by
ponderous
knees
of
iron
bracing
it
on
all
sides
and
screwing
it
down
to
the
timbers
on
the
flanks
it
is
cased
with
wood
and
at
top
completely
covered
by
a
large
sloping
battened
hatchway
removing
this
hatch
we
expose
the
great
try
pots
two
in
number
and
each
of
several
barrels
capacity
when
not
in
use
they
are
kept
remarkably
clean
sometimes
they
are
polished
with
soapstone
and
sand
till
they
shine
within
like
silver
punch
bowls
during
the
night
watches
some
cynical
old
sailors
will
crawl
into
them
and
coil
themselves
away
there
for
a
nap
while
employed
in
polishing
them
one
man
in
each
pot
side
by
side
many
confidential
communications
are
carried
on
over
the
iron
lips
it
is
a
place
also
for
profound
mathematical
meditation
it
was
in
the
left
hand
try
pot
of
the
pequod
with
the
soapstone
diligently
circling
round
me
that
i
was
first
indirectly
struck
by
the
remarkable
fact
that
in
geometry
all
bodies
gliding
along
the
cycloid
my
soapstone
for
example
will
descend
from
any
point
in
precisely
the
same
time
removing
the
fire
board
from
the
front
of
the
try
works
the
bare
masonry
of
that
side
is
exposed
penetrated
by
the
two
iron
mouths
of
the
furnaces
directly
underneath
the
pots
these
mouths
are
fitted
with
heavy
doors
of
iron
the
intense
heat
of
the
fire
is
prevented
from
communicating
itself
to
the
deck
by
means
of
a
shallow
reservoir
extending
under
the
entire
inclosed
surface
of
the
works
by
a
tunnel
inserted
at
the
rear
this
reservoir
is
kept
replenished
with
water
as
fast
as
it
evaporates
there
are
no
external
chimneys
they
open
direct
from
the
rear
wall
and
here
let
us
go
back
for
a
moment
it
was
about
nine
oclock
at
night
that
the
pequods
try
works
were
first
started
on
this
present
voyage
it
belonged
to
stubb
to
oversee
the
business
all
ready
there
off
hatch
then
and
start
her
you
cook
fire
the
works
this
was
an
easy
thing
for
the
carpenter
had
been
thrusting
his
shavings
into
the
furnace
throughout
the
passage
here
be
it
said
that
in
a
whaling
voyage
the
first
fire
in
the
try
works
has
to
be
fed
for
a
time
with
wood
after
that
no
wood
is
used
except
as
a
means
of
quick
ignition
to
the
staple
fuel
in
a
word
after
being
tried
out
the
crisp
shrivelled
blubber
now
called
scraps
or
fritters
still
contains
considerable
of
its
unctuous
properties
these
fritters
feed
the
flames
like
a
plethoric
burning
martyr
or
a
self
consuming
misanthrope
once
ignited
the
whale
supplies
his
own
fuel
and
burns
by
his
own
body
would
that
he
consumed
his
own
smoke
for
his
smoke
is
horrible
to
inhale
and
inhale
it
you
must
and
not
only
that
but
you
must
live
in
it
for
the
time
it
has
an
unspeakable
wild
hindoo
odor
about
it
such
as
may
lurk
in
the
vicinity
of
funereal
pyres
it
smells
like
the
left
wing
of
the
day
of
judgment
it
is
an
argument
for
the
pit
by
midnight
the
works
were
in
full
operation
we
were
clear
from
the
carcase
sail
had
been
made
the
wind
was
freshening
the
wild
ocean
darkness
was
intense
but
that
darkness
was
licked
up
by
the
fierce
flames
which
at
intervals
forked
forth
from
the
sooty
flues
and
illuminated
every
lofty
rope
in
the
rigging
as
with
the
famed
greek
fire
the
burning
ship
drove
on
as
if
remorselessly
commissioned
to
some
vengeful
deed
so
the
pitch
and
sulphur
freighted
brigs
of
the
bold
hydriote
canaris
issuing
from
their
midnight
harbors
with
broad
sheets
of
flame
for
sails
bore
down
upon
the
turkish
frigates
and
folded
them
in
conflagrations
the
hatch
removed
from
the
top
of
the
works
now
afforded
a
wide
hearth
in
front
of
them
standing
on
this
were
the
tartarean
shapes
of
the
pagan
harpooneers
always
the
whale
ships
stokers
with
huge
pronged
poles
they
pitched
hissing
masses
of
blubber
into
the
scalding
pots
or
stirred
up
the
fires
beneath
till
the
snaky
flames
darted
curling
out
of
the
doors
to
catch
them
by
the
feet
the
smoke
rolled
away
in
sullen
heaps
to
every
pitch
of
the
ship
there
was
a
pitch
of
the
boiling
oil
which
seemed
all
eagerness
to
leap
into
their
faces
opposite
the
mouth
of
the
works
on
the
further
side
of
the
wide
wooden
hearth
was
the
windlass
this
served
for
a
sea
sofa
here
lounged
the
watch
when
not
otherwise
employed
looking
into
the
red
heat
of
the
fire
till
their
eyes
felt
scorched
in
their
heads
their
tawny
features
now
all
begrimed
with
smoke
and
sweat
their
matted
beards
and
the
contrasting
barbaric
brilliancy
of
their
teeth
all
these
were
strangely
revealed
in
the
capricious
emblazonings
of
the
works
as
they
narrated
to
each
other
their
unholy
adventures
their
tales
of
terror
told
in
words
of
mirth
as
their
uncivilized
laughter
forked
upwards
out
of
them
like
the
flames
from
the
furnace
as
to
and
fro
in
their
front
the
harpooneers
wildly
gesticulated
with
their
huge
pronged
forks
and
dippers
as
the
wind
howled
on
and
the
sea
leaped
and
the
ship
groaned
and
dived
and
yet
steadfastly
shot
her
red
hell
further
and
further
into
the
blackness
of
the
sea
and
the
night
and
scornfully
champed
the
white
bone
in
her
mouth
and
viciously
spat
round
her
on
all
sides
then
the
rushing
pequod
freighted
with
savages
and
laden
with
fire
and
burning
a
corpse
and
plunging
into
that
blackness
of
darkness
seemed
the
material
counterpart
of
her
monomaniac
commanders
soul
so
seemed
it
to
me
as
i
stood
at
her
helm
and
for
long
hours
silently
guided
the
way
of
this
fire
ship
on
the
sea
wrapped
for
that
interval
in
darkness
myself
i
but
the
better
saw
the
redness
the
madness
the
ghastliness
of
others
the
continual
sight
of
the
fiend
shapes
before
me
capering
half
in
smoke
and
half
in
fire
these
at
last
begat
kindred
visions
in
my
soul
so
soon
as
i
began
to
yield
to
that
unaccountable
drowsiness
which
ever
would
come
over
me
at
a
midnight
helm
but
that
night
in
particular
a
strange
and
ever
since
inexplicable
thing
occurred
to
me
starting
from
a
brief
standing
sleep
i
was
horribly
conscious
of
something
fatally
wrong
the
jaw
bone
tiller
smote
my
side
which
leaned
against
it
in
my
ears
was
the
low
hum
of
sails
just
beginning
to
shake
in
the
wind
i
thought
my
eyes
were
open
i
was
half
conscious
of
putting
my
fingers
to
the
lids
and
mechanically
stretching
them
still
further
apart
but
spite
of
all
this
i
could
see
no
compass
before
me
to
steer
by
though
it
seemed
but
a
minute
since
i
had
been
watching
the
card
by
the
steady
binnacle
lamp
illuminating
it
nothing
seemed
before
me
but
a
jet
gloom
now
and
then
made
ghastly
by
flashes
of
redness
uppermost
was
the
impression
that
whatever
swift
rushing
thing
i
stood
on
was
not
so
much
bound
to
any
haven
ahead
as
rushing
from
all
havens
astern
a
stark
bewildered
feeling
as
of
death
came
over
me
convulsively
my
hands
grasped
the
tiller
but
with
the
crazy
conceit
that
the
tiller
was
somehow
in
some
enchanted
way
inverted
my
god
what
is
the
matter
with
me
thought
i
lo
in
my
brief
sleep
i
had
turned
myself
about
and
was
fronting
the
ships
stern
with
my
back
to
her
prow
and
the
compass
in
an
instant
i
faced
back
just
in
time
to
prevent
the
vessel
from
flying
up
into
the
wind
and
very
probably
capsizing
her
how
glad
and
how
grateful
the
relief
from
this
unnatural
hallucination
of
the
night
and
the
fatal
contingency
of
being
brought
by
the
lee
look
not
too
long
in
the
face
of
the
fire
o
man
never
dream
with
thy
hand
on
the
helm
turn
not
thy
back
to
the
compass
accept
the
first
hint
of
the
hitching
tiller
believe
not
the
artificial
fire
when
its
redness
makes
all
things
look
ghastly
to
morrow
in
the
natural
sun
the
skies
will
be
bright
those
who
glared
like
devils
in
the
forking
flames
the
morn
will
show
in
far
other
at
least
gentler
relief
the
glorious
golden
glad
sun
the
only
true
lamp
all
others
but
liars
nevertheless
the
sun
hides
not
virginias
dismal
swamp
nor
romes
accursed
campagna
nor
wide
sahara
nor
all
the
millions
of
miles
of
deserts
and
of
griefs
beneath
the
moon
the
sun
hides
not
the
ocean
which
is
the
dark
side
of
this
earth
and
which
is
two
thirds
of
this
earth
so
therefore
that
mortal
man
who
hath
more
of
joy
than
sorrow
in
him
that
mortal
man
cannot
be
true
not
true
or
undeveloped
with
books
the
same
the
truest
of
all
men
was
the
man
of
sorrows
and
the
truest
of
all
books
is
solomons
and
ecclesiastes
is
the
fine
hammered
steel
of
woe
all
is
vanity
all
this
wilful
world
hath
not
got
hold
of
unchristian
solomons
wisdom
yet
but
he
who
dodges
hospitals
and
jails
and
walks
fast
crossing
grave
yards
and
would
rather
talk
of
operas
than
hell
calls
cowper
young
pascal
rousseau
poor
devils
all
of
sick
men
and
throughout
a
care
free
lifetime
swears
by
rabelais
as
passing
wise
and
therefore
jolly
not
that
man
is
fitted
to
sit
down
on
tomb
stones
and
break
the
green
damp
mould
with
unfathomably
wondrous
solomon
but
even
solomon
he
says
the
man
that
wandereth
out
of
the
way
of
understanding
shall
remain
i
e
even
while
living
in
the
congregation
of
the
dead
give
not
thyself
up
then
to
fire
lest
it
invert
thee
deaden
thee
as
for
the
time
it
did
me
there
is
a
wisdom
that
is
woe
but
there
is
a
woe
that
is
madness
and
there
is
a
catskill
eagle
in
some
souls
that
can
alike
dive
down
into
the
blackest
gorges
and
soar
out
of
them
again
and
become
invisible
in
the
sunny
spaces
and
even
if
he
for
ever
flies
within
the
gorge
that
gorge
is
in
the
mountains
so
that
even
in
his
lowest
swoop
the
mountain
eagle
is
still
higher
than
other
birds
upon
the
plain
even
though
they
soar
had
you
descended
from
the
pequods
try
works
to
the
pequods
forecastle
where
the
off
duty
watch
were
sleeping
for
one
single
moment
you
would
have
almost
thought
you
were
standing
in
some
illuminated
shrine
of
canonized
kings
and
counsellors
there
they
lay
in
their
triangular
oaken
vaults
each
mariner
a
chiselled
muteness
a
score
of
lamps
flashing
upon
his
hooded
eyes
in
merchantmen
oil
for
the
sailor
is
more
scarce
than
the
milk
of
queens
to
dress
in
the
dark
and
eat
in
the
dark
and
stumble
in
darkness
to
his
pallet
this
is
his
usual
lot
but
the
whaleman
as
he
seeks
the
food
of
light
so
he
lives
in
light
he
makes
his
berth
an
aladdins
lamp
and
lays
him
down
in
it
so
that
in
the
pitchiest
night
the
ships
black
hull
still
houses
an
illumination
see
with
what
entire
freedom
the
whaleman
takes
his
handful
of
lamps
often
but
old
bottles
and
vials
though
to
the
copper
cooler
at
the
try
works
and
replenishes
them
there
as
mugs
of
ale
at
a
vat
he
burns
too
the
purest
of
oil
in
its
unmanufactured
and
therefore
unvitiated
state
a
fluid
unknown
to
solar
lunar
or
astral
contrivances
ashore
it
is
sweet
as
early
grass
butter
in
april
he
goes
and
hunts
for
his
oil
so
as
to
be
sure
of
its
freshness
and
genuineness
even
as
the
traveller
on
the
prairie
hunts
up
his
own
supper
of
game
already
has
it
been
related
how
the
great
leviathan
is
afar
off
descried
from
the
mast
head
how
he
is
chased
over
the
watery
moors
and
slaughtered
in
the
valleys
of
the
deep
how
he
is
then
towed
alongside
and
beheaded
and
how
on
the
principle
which
entitled
the
headsman
of
old
to
the
garments
in
which
the
beheaded
was
killed
his
great
padded
surtout
becomes
the
property
of
his
executioner
how
in
due
time
he
is
condemned
to
the
pots
and
like
shadrach
meshach
and
abednego
his
spermaceti
oil
and
bone
pass
unscathed
through
the
fire
but
now
it
remains
to
conclude
the
last
chapter
of
this
part
of
the
description
by
rehearsing
singing
if
i
may
the
romantic
proceeding
of
decanting
off
his
oil
into
the
casks
and
striking
them
down
into
the
hold
where
once
again
leviathan
returns
to
his
native
profundities
sliding
along
beneath
the
surface
as
before
but
alas
never
more
to
rise
and
blow
while
still
warm
the
oil
like
hot
punch
is
received
into
the
six
barrel
casks
and
while
perhaps
the
ship
is
pitching
and
rolling
this
way
and
that
in
the
midnight
sea
the
enormous
casks
are
slewed
round
and
headed
over
end
for
end
and
sometimes
perilously
scoot
across
the
slippery
deck
like
so
many
land
slides
till
at
last
man
handled
and
stayed
in
their
course
and
all
round
the
hoops
rap
rap
go
as
many
hammers
as
can
play
upon
them
for
now
ex
officio
every
sailor
is
a
cooper
at
length
when
the
last
pint
is
casked
and
all
is
cool
then
the
great
hatchways
are
unsealed
the
bowels
of
the
ship
are
thrown
open
and
down
go
the
casks
to
their
final
rest
in
the
sea
this
done
the
hatches
are
replaced
and
hermetically
closed
like
a
closet
walled
up
in
the
sperm
fishery
this
is
perhaps
one
of
the
most
remarkable
incidents
in
all
the
business
of
whaling
one
day
the
planks
stream
with
freshets
of
blood
and
oil
on
the
sacred
quarter
deck
enormous
masses
of
the
whales
head
are
profanely
piled
great
rusty
casks
lie
about
as
in
a
brewery
yard
the
smoke
from
the
try
works
has
besooted
all
the
bulwarks
the
mariners
go
about
suffused
with
unctuousness
the
entire
ship
seems
great
leviathan
himself
while
on
all
hands
the
din
is
deafening
but
a
day
or
two
after
you
look
about
you
and
prick
your
ears
in
this
self
same
ship
and
were
it
not
for
the
tell
tale
boats
and
try
works
you
would
all
but
swear
you
trod
some
silent
merchant
vessel
with
a
most
scrupulously
neat
commander
the
unmanufactured
sperm
oil
possesses
a
singularly
cleansing
virtue
this
is
the
reason
why
the
decks
never
look
so
white
as
just
after
what
they
call
an
affair
of
oil
besides
from
the
ashes
of
the
burned
scraps
of
the
whale
a
potent
ley
is
readily
made
and
whenever
any
adhesiveness
from
the
back
of
the
whale
remains
clinging
to
the
side
that
ley
quickly
exterminates
it
hands
go
diligently
along
the
bulwarks
and
with
buckets
of
water
and
rags
restore
them
to
their
full
tidiness
the
soot
is
brushed
from
the
lower
rigging
all
the
numerous
implements
which
have
been
in
use
are
likewise
faithfully
cleansed
and
put
away
the
great
hatch
is
scrubbed
and
placed
upon
the
try
works
completely
hiding
the
pots
every
cask
is
out
of
sight
all
tackles
are
coiled
in
unseen
nooks
and
when
by
the
combined
and
simultaneous
industry
of
almost
the
entire
ships
company
the
whole
of
this
conscientious
duty
is
at
last
concluded
then
the
crew
themselves
proceed
to
their
own
ablutions
shift
themselves
from
top
to
toe
and
finally
issue
to
the
immaculate
deck
fresh
and
all
aglow
as
bridegrooms
new
leaped
from
out
the
daintiest
holland
now
with
elated
step
they
pace
the
planks
in
twos
and
threes
and
humorously
discourse
of
parlors
sofas
carpets
and
fine
cambrics
propose
to
mat
the
deck
think
of
having
hangings
to
the
top
object
not
to
taking
tea
by
moonlight
on
the
piazza
of
the
forecastle
to
hint
to
such
musked
mariners
of
oil
and
bone
and
blubber
were
little
short
of
audacity
they
know
not
the
thing
you
distantly
allude
to
away
and
bring
us
napkins
but
mark
aloft
there
at
the
three
mast
heads
stand
three
men
intent
on
spying
out
more
whales
which
if
caught
infallibly
will
again
soil
the
old
oaken
furniture
and
drop
at
least
one
small
grease
spot
somewhere
yes
and
many
is
the
time
when
after
the
severest
uninterrupted
labors
which
know
no
night
continuing
straight
through
for
ninety
six
hours
when
from
the
boat
where
they
have
swelled
their
wrists
with
all
day
rowing
on
the
line
they
only
step
to
the
deck
to
carry
vast
chains
and
heave
the
heavy
windlass
and
cut
and
slash
yea
and
in
their
very
sweatings
to
be
smoked
and
burned
anew
by
the
combined
fires
of
the
equatorial
sun
and
the
equatorial
try
works
when
on
the
heel
of
all
this
they
have
finally
bestirred
themselves
to
cleanse
the
ship
and
make
a
spotless
dairy
room
of
it
many
is
the
time
the
poor
fellows
just
buttoning
the
necks
of
their
clean
frocks
are
startled
by
the
cry
of
there
she
blows
and
away
they
fly
to
fight
another
whale
and
go
through
the
whole
weary
thing
again
oh
my
friends
but
this
is
man
killing
yet
this
is
life
for
hardly
have
we
mortals
by
long
toilings
extracted
from
the
worlds
vast
bulk
its
small
but
valuable
sperm
and
then
with
weary
patience
cleansed
ourselves
from
its
defilements
and
learned
to
live
here
in
clean
tabernacles
of
the
soul
hardly
is
this
done
when
there
she
blows
the
ghost
is
spouted
up
and
away
we
sail
to
fight
some
other
world
and
go
through
young
lifes
old
routine
again
oh
the
metempsychosis
oh
pythagoras
that
in
bright
greece
two
thousand
years
ago
did
die
so
good
so
wise
so
mild
i
sailed
with
thee
along
the
peruvian
coast
last
voyage
and
foolish
as
i
am
taught
thee
a
green
simple
boy
how
to
splice
a
rope
ere
now
it
has
been
related
how
ahab
was
wont
to
pace
his
quarter
deck
taking
regular
turns
at
either
limit
the
binnacle
and
mainmast
but
in
the
multiplicity
of
other
things
requiring
narration
it
has
not
been
added
how
that
sometimes
in
these
walks
when
most
plunged
in
his
mood
he
was
wont
to
pause
in
turn
at
each
spot
and
stand
there
strangely
eyeing
the
particular
object
before
him
when
he
halted
before
the
binnacle
with
his
glance
fastened
on
the
pointed
needle
in
the
compass
that
glance
shot
like
a
javelin
with
the
pointed
intensity
of
his
purpose
and
when
resuming
his
walk
he
again
paused
before
the
mainmast
then
as
the
same
riveted
glance
fastened
upon
the
riveted
gold
coin
there
he
still
wore
the
same
aspect
of
nailed
firmness
only
dashed
with
a
certain
wild
longing
if
not
hopefulness
but
one
morning
turning
to
pass
the
doubloon
he
seemed
to
be
newly
attracted
by
the
strange
figures
and
inscriptions
stamped
on
it
as
though
now
for
the
first
time
beginning
to
interpret
for
himself
in
some
monomaniac
way
whatever
significance
might
lurk
in
them
and
some
certain
significance
lurks
in
all
things
else
all
things
are
little
worth
and
the
round
world
itself
but
an
empty
cipher
except
to
sell
by
the
cartload
as
they
do
hills
about
boston
to
fill
up
some
morass
in
the
milky
way
now
this
doubloon
was
of
purest
virgin
gold
raked
somewhere
out
of
the
heart
of
gorgeous
hills
whence
east
and
west
over
golden
sands
the
head
waters
of
many
a
pactolus
flows
and
though
now
nailed
amidst
all
the
rustiness
of
iron
bolts
and
the
verdigris
of
copper
spikes
yet
untouchable
and
immaculate
to
any
foulness
it
still
preserved
its
quito
glow
nor
though
placed
amongst
a
ruthless
crew
and
every
hour
passed
by
ruthless
hands
and
through
the
livelong
nights
shrouded
with
thick
darkness
which
might
cover
any
pilfering
approach
nevertheless
every
sunrise
found
the
doubloon
where
the
sunset
left
it
last
for
it
was
set
apart
and
sanctified
to
one
awe
striking
end
and
however
wanton
in
their
sailor
ways
one
and
all
the
mariners
revered
it
as
the
white
whales
talisman
sometimes
they
talked
it
over
in
the
weary
watch
by
night
wondering
whose
it
was
to
be
at
last
and
whether
he
would
ever
live
to
spend
it
now
those
noble
golden
coins
of
south
america
are
as
medals
of
the
sun
and
tropic
token
pieces
here
palms
alpacas
and
volcanoes
suns
disks
and
stars
ecliptics
horns
of
plenty
and
rich
banners
waving
are
in
luxuriant
profusion
stamped
so
that
the
precious
gold
seems
almost
to
derive
an
added
preciousness
and
enhancing
glories
by
passing
through
those
fancy
mints
so
spanishly
poetic
it
so
chanced
that
the
doubloon
of
the
pequod
was
a
most
wealthy
example
of
these
things
on
its
round
border
it
bore
the
letters
republica
del
ecuador
quito
so
this
bright
coin
came
from
a
country
planted
in
the
middle
of
the
world
and
beneath
the
great
equator
and
named
after
it
and
it
had
been
cast
midway
up
the
andes
in
the
unwaning
clime
that
knows
no
autumn
zoned
by
those
letters
you
saw
the
likeness
of
three
andes
summits
from
one
a
flame
a
tower
on
another
on
the
third
a
crowing
cock
while
arching
over
all
was
a
segment
of
the
partitioned
zodiac
the
signs
all
marked
with
their
usual
cabalistics
and
the
keystone
sun
entering
the
equinoctial
point
at
libra
before
this
equatorial
coin
ahab
not
unobserved
by
others
was
now
pausing
theres
something
ever
egotistical
in
mountain
tops
and
towers
and
all
other
grand
and
lofty
things
look
here
three
peaks
as
proud
as
lucifer
the
firm
tower
that
is
ahab
the
volcano
that
is
ahab
the
courageous
the
undaunted
and
victorious
fowl
that
too
is
ahab
all
are
ahab
and
this
round
gold
is
but
the
image
of
the
rounder
globe
which
like
a
magicians
glass
to
each
and
every
man
in
turn
but
mirrors
back
his
own
mysterious
self
great
pains
small
gains
for
those
who
ask
the
world
to
solve
them
it
cannot
solve
itself
methinks
now
this
coined
sun
wears
a
ruddy
face
but
see
aye
he
enters
the
sign
of
storms
the
equinox
and
but
six
months
before
he
wheeled
out
of
a
former
equinox
at
aries
from
storm
to
storm
so
be
it
then
born
in
throes
t
is
fit
that
man
should
live
in
pains
and
die
in
pangs
so
be
it
then
heres
stout
stuff
for
woe
to
work
on
so
be
it
then
no
fairy
fingers
can
have
pressed
the
gold
but
devils
claws
must
have
left
their
mouldings
there
since
yesterday
murmured
starbuck
to
himself
leaning
against
the
bulwarks
the
old
man
seems
to
read
belshazzars
awful
writing
i
have
never
marked
the
coin
inspectingly
he
goes
below
let
me
read
a
dark
valley
between
three
mighty
heaven
abiding
peaks
that
almost
seem
the
trinity
in
some
faint
earthly
symbol
so
in
this
vale
of
death
god
girds
us
round
and
over
all
our
gloom
the
sun
of
righteousness
still
shines
a
beacon
and
a
hope
if
we
bend
down
our
eyes
the
dark
vale
shows
her
mouldy
soil
but
if
we
lift
them
the
bright
sun
meets
our
glance
half
way
to
cheer
yet
oh
the
great
sun
is
no
fixture
and
if
at
midnight
we
would
fain
snatch
some
sweet
solace
from
him
we
gaze
for
him
in
vain
this
coin
speaks
wisely
mildly
truly
but
still
sadly
to
me
i
will
quit
it
lest
truth
shake
me
falsely
there
nows
the
old
mogul
soliloquized
stubb
by
the
try
works
hes
been
twigging
it
and
there
goes
starbuck
from
the
same
and
both
with
faces
which
i
should
say
might
be
somewhere
within
nine
fathoms
long
and
all
from
looking
at
a
piece
of
gold
which
did
i
have
it
now
on
negro
hill
or
in
corlaers
hook
id
not
look
at
it
very
long
ere
spending
it
humph
in
my
poor
insignificant
opinion
i
regard
this
as
queer
i
have
seen
doubloons
before
now
in
my
voyagings
your
doubloons
of
old
spain
your
doubloons
of
peru
your
doubloons
of
chili
your
doubloons
of
bolivia
your
doubloons
of
popayan
with
plenty
of
gold
moidores
and
pistoles
and
joes
and
half
joes
and
quarter
joes
what
then
should
there
be
in
this
doubloon
of
the
equator
that
is
so
killing
wonderful
by
golconda
let
me
read
it
once
halloa
heres
signs
and
wonders
truly
that
now
is
what
old
bowditch
in
his
epitome
calls
the
zodiac
and
what
my
almanack
below
calls
ditto
ill
get
the
almanack
and
as
i
have
heard
devils
can
be
raised
with
dabolls
arithmetic
ill
try
my
hand
at
raising
a
meaning
out
of
these
queer
curvicues

coffee
mill
prick

raised
it
must
be

a
pine

my
father
in
old
tolland

a
pine
tree

and

a
silver
ring
grown
over
in
it
some
old
darkeys
wedding
ring
how
did
it
get
there
and
so
theyll
say
in
the
resurrection
when
they
come
to
fish
up
this
old
mast
and
find
a
doubloon
lodged
in
it
with
bedded
oysters

shaggy

and
get
your

done
enderby
of
london
ship
ahoy
hast
seen
the
white
whale
so
cried
ahab
once
more
hailing
a
ship
showing
english
colors
bearing
down
under
the
stern
trumpet
to
mouth
the
old
man
was
standing
in
his
hoisted
quarter
boat
his
ivory
leg
plainly
revealed
to
the
stranger
captain
who
was
carelessly
reclining
in
his
own
boats
bow
he
was
a
darkly
tanned
burly
good
natured
fine
looking
man
of
sixty
or
thereabouts
dressed
in
a
spacious
roundabout
that
hung
round
him
in
festoons
of
blue
pilot
cloth
and
one
empty
arm
of
this
jacket
streamed
behind
him
like
the
broidered
arm
of
a
huzzars
surcoat
hast
seen
the
white
whale
see
you
this
and
withdrawing
it
from
the
fold
that
had
hidden
it
he
held
up
a
white
arm
of
sperm
whale
bone
terminating
in
a
wooden
head
like
a
mallet
man
my
boat
cried
ahab
impetuously
and
tossing
about
the
oars
near
him
stand
by
to
lower
in
less
than
a
minute
without
quitting
his
little
craft
he
and
his
crew
were
dropped
to
the
water
and
were
soon
alongside
of
the
stranger
but
here
a
curious
difficulty
presented
itself
in
the
excitement
of
the
moment
ahab
had
forgotten
that
since
the
loss
of
his
leg
he
had
never
once
stepped
on
board
of
any
vessel
at
sea
but
his
own
and
then
it
was
always
by
an
ingenious
and
very
handy
mechanical
contrivance
peculiar
to
the
pequod
and
a
thing
not
to
be
rigged
and
shipped
in
any
other
vessel
at
a
moments
warning
now
it
is
no
very
easy
matter
for
anybody
except
those
who
are
almost
hourly
used
to
it
like
whalemen
to
clamber
up
a
ships
side
from
a
boat
on
the
open
sea
for
the
great
swells
now
lift
the
boat
high
up
towards
the
bulwarks
and
then
instantaneously
drop
it
half
way
down
to
the
kelson
so
deprived
of
one
leg
and
the
strange
ship
of
course
being
altogether
unsupplied
with
the
kindly
invention
ahab
now
found
himself
abjectly
reduced
to
a
clumsy
landsman
again
hopelessly
eyeing
the
uncertain
changeful
height
he
could
hardly
hope
to
attain
it
has
before
been
hinted
perhaps
that
every
little
untoward
circumstance
that
befel
him
and
which
indirectly
sprang
from
his
luckless
mishap
almost
invariably
irritated
or
exasperated
ahab
and
in
the
present
instance
all
this
was
heightened
by
the
sight
of
the
two
officers
of
the
strange
ship
leaning
over
the
side
by
the
perpendicular
ladder
of
nailed
cleets
there
and
swinging
towards
him
a
pair
of
tastefully
ornamented
man
ropes
for
at
first
they
did
not
seem
to
bethink
them
that
a
one
legged
man
must
be
too
much
of
a
cripple
to
use
their
sea
bannisters
but
this
awkwardness
only
lasted
a
minute
because
the
strange
captain
observing
at
a
glance
how
affairs
stood
cried
out
i
see
i
see
avast
heaving
there
jump
boys
and
swing
over
the
cutting
tackle
as
good
luck
would
have
it
they
had
had
a
whale
alongside
a
day
or
two
previous
and
the
great
tackles
were
still
aloft
and
the
massive
curved
blubber
hook
now
clean
and
dry
was
still
attached
to
the
end
this
was
quickly
lowered
to
ahab
who
at
once
comprehending
it
all
slid
his
solitary
thigh
into
the
curve
of
the
hook
it
was
like
sitting
in
the
fluke
of
an
anchor
or
the
crotch
of
an
apple
tree
and
then
giving
the
word
held
himself
fast
and
at
the
same
time
also
helped
to
hoist
his
own
weight
by
pulling
hand
over
hand
upon
one
of
the
running
parts
of
the
tackle
soon
he
was
carefully
swung
inside
the
high
bulwarks
and
gently
landed
upon
the
capstan
head
with
his
ivory
arm
frankly
thrust
forth
in
welcome
the
other
captain
advanced
and
ahab
putting
out
his
ivory
leg
and
crossing
the
ivory
arm
like
two
sword
fish
blades
cried
out
in
his
walrus
way
aye
aye
hearty
let
us
shake
bones
together
an
arm
and
a
leg
an
arm
that
never
can
shrink
dye
see
and
a
leg
that
never
can
run
where
didst
thou
see
the
white
whale
how
long
ago
the
white
whale
said
the
englishman
pointing
his
ivory
arm
towards
the
east
and
taking
a
rueful
sight
along
it
as
if
it
had
been
a
telescope
there
i
saw
him
on
the
line
last
season
and
he
took
that
arm
off
did
he
asked
ahab
now
sliding
down
from
the
capstan
and
resting
on
the
englishmans
shoulder
as
he
did
so
aye
he
was
the
cause
of
it
at
least
and
that
leg
too
spin
me
the
yarn
said
ahab
how
was
it
it
was
the
first
time
in
my
life
that
i
ever
cruised
on
the
line
began
the
englishman
i
was
ignorant
of
the
white
whale
at
that
time
well
one
day
we
lowered
for
a
pod
of
four
or
five
whales
and
my
boat
fastened
to
one
of
them
a
regular
circus
horse
he
was
too
that
went
milling
and
milling
round
so
that
my
boats
crew
could
only
trim
dish
by
sitting
all
their
sterns
on
the
outer
gunwale
presently
up
breaches
from
the
bottom
of
the
sea
a
bouncing
great
whale
with
a
milky
white
head
and
hump
all
crows
feet
and
wrinkles
it
was
he
it
was
he
cried
ahab
suddenly
letting
out
his
suspended
breath
and
harpoons
sticking
in
near
his
starboard
fin
aye
aye
they
were
mine
my
irons
cried
ahab
exultingly
but
on
give
me
a
chance
then
said
the
englishman
good
humoredly
well
this
old
great
grandfather
with
the
white
head
and
hump
runs
all
afoam
into
the
pod
and
goes
to
snapping
furiously
at
my
fast
line
aye
i
see
wanted
to
part
it
free
the
fast
fish
an
old
trick
i
know
him
how
it
was
exactly
continued
the
one
armed
commander
i
do
not
know
but
in
biting
the
line
it
got
foul
of
his
teeth
caught
there
somehow
but
we
didnt
know
it
then
so
that
when
we
afterwards
pulled
on
the
line
bounce
we
came
plump
on
to
his
hump
instead
of
the
other
whales
that
went
off
to
windward
all
fluking
seeing
how
matters
stood
and
what
a
noble
great
whale
it
was
the
noblest
and
biggest
i
ever
saw
sir
in
my
life
i
resolved
to
capture
him
spite
of
the
boiling
rage
he
seemed
to
be
in
and
thinking
the
hap
hazard
line
would
get
loose
or
the
tooth
it
was
tangled
to
might
draw
for
i
have
a
devil
of
a
boats
crew
for
a
pull
on
a
whale
line
seeing
all
this
i
say
i
jumped
into
my
first
mates
boat
mr
mounttops
here
by
the
way
captain
mounttop
mounttop
the
captain
as
i
was
saying
i
jumped
into
mounttops
boat
which
dye
see
was
gunwale
and
gunwale
with
mine
then
and
snatching
the
first
harpoon
let
this
old
great
grandfather
have
it
but
lord
look
you
sir
hearts
and
souls
alive
man
the
next
instant
in
a
jiff
i
was
blind
as
a
bat
both
eyes
out
all
befogged
and
bedeadened
with
black
foam
the
whales
tail
looming
straight
up
out
of
it
perpendicular
in
the
air
like
a
marble
steeple
no
use
sterning
all
then
but
as
i
was
groping
at
midday
with
a
blinding
sun
all
crown
jewels
as
i
was
groping
i
say
after
the
second
iron
to
toss
it
overboard
down
comes
the
tail
like
a
lima
tower
cutting
my
boat
in
two
leaving
each
half
in
splinters
and
flukes
first
the
white
hump
backed
through
the
wreck
as
though
it
was
all
chips
we
all
struck
out
to
escape
his
terrible
flailings
i
seized
hold
of
my
harpoon
pole
sticking
in
him
and
for
a
moment
clung
to
that
like
a
sucking
fish
but
a
combing
sea
dashed
me
off
and
at
the
same
instant
the
fish
taking
one
good
dart
forwards
went
down
like
a
flash
and
the
barb
of
that
cursed
second
iron
towing
along
near
me
caught
me
here
clapping
his
hand
just
below
his
shoulder
yes
caught
me
just
here
i
say
and
bore
me
down
to
hells
flames
i
was
thinking
when
when
all
of
a
sudden
thank
the
good
god
the
barb
ript
its
way
along
the
flesh
clear
along
the
whole
length
of
my
arm
came
out
nigh
my
wrist
and
up
i
floated
and
that
gentleman
there
will
tell
you
the
rest
by
the
way
captain
dr
bunger
ships
surgeon
bunger
my
lad
the
captain
now
bunger
boy
spin
your
part
of
the
yarn
the
professional
gentleman
thus
familiarly
pointed
out
had
been
all
the
time
standing
near
them
with
nothing
specific
visible
to
denote
his
gentlemanly
rank
on
board
his
face
was
an
exceedingly
round
but
sober
one
he
was
dressed
in
a
faded
blue
woollen
frock
or
shirt
and
patched
trowsers
and
had
thus
far
been
dividing
his
attention
between
a
marlingspike
he
held
in
one
hand
and
a
pill
box
held
in
the
other
occasionally
casting
a
critical
glance
at
the
ivory
limbs
of
the
two
crippled
captains
but
at
his
superiors
introduction
of
him
to
ahab
he
politely
bowed
and
straightway
went
on
to
do
his
captains
bidding
it
was
a
shocking
bad
wound
began
the
whale
surgeon
and
taking
my
advice
captain
boomer
here
stood
our
old
sammy
samuel
enderby
is
the
name
of
my
ship
interrupted
the
one
armed
captain
addressing
ahab
go
on
boy
stood
our
old
sammy
off
to
the
northward
to
get
out
of
the
blazing
hot
weather
there
on
the
line
but
it
was
no
use
i
did
all
i
could
sat
up
with
him
nights
was
very
severe
with
him
in
the
matter
of
diet
oh
very
severe
chimed
in
the
patient
himself
then
suddenly
altering
his
voice
drinking
hot
rum
toddies
with
me
every
night
till
he
couldnt
see
to
put
on
the
bandages
and
sending
me
to
bed
half
seas
over
about
three
oclock
in
the
morning
oh
ye
stars
he
sat
up
with
me
indeed
and
was
very
severe
in
my
diet
oh
a
great
watcher
and
very
dietetically
severe
is
dr
bunger
bunger
you
dog
laugh
out
why
dont
ye
you
know
youre
a
precious
jolly
rascal
but
heave
ahead
boy
id
rather
be
killed
by
you
than
kept
alive
by
any
other
man
my
captain
you
must
have
ere
this
perceived
respected
sir
said
the
imperturbable
godly
looking
bunger
slightly
bowing
to
ahab
is
apt
to
be
facetious
at
times
he
spins
us
many
clever
things
of
that
sort
but
i
may
as
well
say
en
passant
as
the
french
remark
that
i
myself
that
is
to
say
jack
bunger
late
of
the
reverend
clergy
am
a
strict
total
abstinence
man
i
never
drink
water
cried
the
captain
he
never
drinks
it
its
a
sort
of
fits
to
him
fresh
water
throws
him
into
the
hydrophobia
but
go
on
go
on
with
the
arm
story
yes
i
may
as
well
said
the
surgeon
coolly
i
was
about
observing
sir
before
captain
boomers
facetious
interruption
that
spite
of
my
best
and
severest
endeavors
the
wound
kept
getting
worse
and
worse
the
truth
was
sir
it
was
as
ugly
gaping
wound
as
surgeon
ever
saw
more
than
two
feet
and
several
inches
long
i
measured
it
with
the
lead
line
in
short
it
grew
black
i
knew
what
was
threatened
and
off
it
came
but
i
had
no
hand
in
shipping
that
ivory
arm
there
that
thing
is
against
all
rule
pointing
at
it
with
the
marlingspike
that
is
the
captains
work
not
mine
he
ordered
the
carpenter
to
make
it
he
had
that
club
hammer
there
put
to
the
end
to
knock
some
ones
brains
out
with
i
suppose
as
he
tried
mine
once
he
flies
into
diabolical
passions
sometimes
do
ye
see
this
dent
sir
removing
his
hat
and
brushing
aside
his
hair
and
exposing
a
bowl
like
cavity
in
his
skull
but
which
bore
not
the
slightest
scarry
trace
or
any
token
of
ever
having
been
a
wound
well
the
captain
there
will
tell
you
how
that
came
here
he
knows
no
i
dont
said
the
captain
but
his
mother
did
he
was
born
with
it
oh
you
solemn
rogue
you
you
bunger
was
there
ever
such
another
bunger
in
the
watery
world
bunger
when
you
die
you
ought
to
die
in
pickle
you
dog
you
should
be
preserved
to
future
ages
you
rascal
what
became
of
the
white
whale
now
cried
ahab
who
thus
far
had
been
impatiently
listening
to
this
bye
play
between
the
two
englishmen
oh
cried
the
one
armed
captain
oh
yes
well
after
he
sounded
we
didnt
see
him
again
for
some
time
in
fact
as
i
before
hinted
i
didnt
then
know
what
whale
it
was
that
had
served
me
such
a
trick
till
some
time
afterwards
when
coming
back
to
the
line
we
heard
about
moby
dick
as
some
call
him
and
then
i
knew
it
was
he
didst
thou
cross
his
wake
again
twice
but
could
not
fasten
didnt
want
to
try
to
aint
one
limb
enough
what
should
i
do
without
this
other
arm
and
im
thinking
moby
dick
doesnt
bite
so
much
as
he
swallows
well
then
interrupted
bunger
give
him
your
left
arm
for
bait
to
get
the
right
do
you
know
gentlemen
very
gravely
and
mathematically
bowing
to
each
captain
in
succession
do
you
know
gentlemen
that
the
digestive
organs
of
the
whale
are
so
inscrutably
constructed
by
divine
providence
that
it
is
quite
impossible
for
him
to
completely
digest
even
a
mans
arm
and
he
knows
it
too
so
that
what
you
take
for
the
white
whales
malice
is
only
his
awkwardness
for
he
never
means
to
swallow
a
single
limb
he
only
thinks
to
terrify
by
feints
but
sometimes
he
is
like
the
old
juggling
fellow
formerly
a
patient
of
mine
in
ceylon
that
making
believe
swallow
jack
knives
once
upon
a
time
let
one
drop
into
him
in
good
earnest
and
there
it
stayed
for
a
twelvemonth
or
more
when
i
gave
him
an
emetic
and
he
heaved
it
up
in
small
tacks
dye
see
no
possible
way
for
him
to
digest
that
jack
knife
and
fully
incorporate
it
into
his
general
bodily
system
yes
captain
boomer
if
you
are
quick
enough
about
it
and
have
a
mind
to
pawn
one
arm
for
the
sake
of
the
privilege
of
giving
decent
burial
to
the
other
why
in
that
case
the
arm
is
yours
only
let
the
whale
have
another
chance
at
you
shortly
thats
all
no
thank
ye
bunger
said
the
english
captain
hes
welcome
to
the
arm
he
has
since
i
cant
help
it
and
didnt
know
him
then
but
not
to
another
one
no
more
white
whales
for
me
ive
lowered
for
him
once
and
that
has
satisfied
me
there
would
be
great
glory
in
killing
him
i
know
that
and
there
is
a
ship
load
of
precious
sperm
in
him
but
hark
ye
hes
best
let
alone
dont
you
think
so
captain
glancing
at
the
ivory
leg
he
is
but
he
will
still
be
hunted
for
all
that
what
is
best
let
alone
that
accursed
thing
is
not
always
what
least
allures
hes
all
a
magnet
how
long
since
thou
sawst
him
last
which
way
heading
bless
my
soul
and
curse
the
foul
fiends
cried
bunger
stoopingly
walking
round
ahab
and
like
a
dog
strangely
snuffing
this
mans
blood
bring
the
thermometer
its
at
the
boiling
point
his
pulse
makes
these
planks
beat
sir
taking
a
lancet
from
his
pocket
and
drawing
near
to
ahabs
arm
avast
roared
ahab
dashing
him
against
the
bulwarks
man
the
boat
which
way
heading
good
god
cried
the
english
captain
to
whom
the
question
was
put
whats
the
matter
he
was
heading
east
i
think
is
your
captain
crazy
whispering
fedallah
but
fedallah
putting
a
finger
on
his
lip
slid
over
the
bulwarks
to
take
the
boats
steering
oar
and
ahab
swinging
the
cutting
tackle
towards
him
commanded
the
ships
sailors
to
stand
by
to
lower
in
a
moment
he
was
standing
in
the
boats
stern
and
the
manilla
men
were
springing
to
their
oars
in
vain
the
english
captain
hailed
him
with
back
to
the
stranger
ship
and
face
set
like
a
flint
to
his
own
ahab
stood
upright
till
alongside
of
the
pequod
ere
the
english
ship
fades
from
sight
be
it
set
down
here
that
she
hailed
from
london
and
was
named
after
the
late
samuel
enderby
merchant
of
that
city
the
original
of
the
famous
whaling
house
of
enderby
and
sons
a
house
which
in
my
poor
whalemans
opinion
comes
not
far
behind
the
united
royal
houses
of
the
tudors
and
bourbons
in
point
of
real
historical
interest
how
long
prior
to
the
year
of
our
lord
this
great
whaling
house
was
in
existence
my
numerous
fish
documents
do
not
make
plain
but
in
that
year
it
fitted
out
the
first
english
ships
that
ever
regularly
hunted
the
sperm
whale
though
for
some
score
of
years
previous
ever
since
our
valiant
coffins
and
maceys
of
nantucket
and
the
vineyard
had
in
large
fleets
pursued
that
leviathan
but
only
in
the
north
and
south
atlantic
not
elsewhere
be
it
distinctly
recorded
here
that
the
nantucketers
were
the
first
among
mankind
to
harpoon
with
civilized
steel
the
great
sperm
whale
and
that
for
half
a
century
they
were
the
only
people
of
the
whole
globe
who
so
harpooned
him
in
a
fine
ship
the
amelia
fitted
out
for
the
express
purpose
and
at
the
sole
charge
of
the
vigorous
enderbys
boldly
rounded
cape
horn
and
was
the
first
among
the
nations
to
lower
a
whale
boat
of
any
sort
in
the
great
south
sea
the
voyage
was
a
skilful
and
lucky
one
and
returning
to
her
berth
with
her
hold
full
of
the
precious
sperm
the
amelias
example
was
soon
followed
by
other
ships
english
and
american
and
thus
the
vast
sperm
whale
grounds
of
the
pacific
were
thrown
open
but
not
content
with
this
good
deed
the
indefatigable
house
again
bestirred
itself
samuel
and
all
his
sons
how
many
their
mother
only
knows
and
under
their
immediate
auspices
and
partly
i
think
at
their
expense
the
british
government
was
induced
to
send
the
sloop
of
war
rattler
on
a
whaling
voyage
of
discovery
into
the
south
sea
commanded
by
a
naval
post
captain
the
rattler
made
a
rattling
voyage
of
it
and
did
some
service
how
much
does
not
appear
but
this
is
not
all
in
the
same
house
fitted
out
a
discovery
whale
ship
of
their
own
to
go
on
a
tasting
cruise
to
the
remote
waters
of
japan
that
ship
well
called
the
syren
made
a
noble
experimental
cruise
and
it
was
thus
that
the
great
japanese
whaling
ground
first
became
generally
known
the
syren
in
this
famous
voyage
was
commanded
by
a
captain
coffin
a
nantucketer
all
honor
to
the
enderbies
therefore
whose
house
i
think
exists
to
the
present
day
though
doubtless
the
original
samuel
must
long
ago
have
slipped
his
cable
for
the
great
south
sea
of
the
other
world
the
ship
named
after
him
was
worthy
of
the
honor
being
a
very
fast
sailer
and
a
noble
craft
every
way
i
boarded
her
once
at
midnight
somewhere
off
the
patagonian
coast
and
drank
good
flip
down
in
the
forecastle
it
was
a
fine
gam
we
had
and
they
were
all
trumps
every
soul
on
board
a
short
life
to
them
and
a
jolly
death
and
that
fine
gam
i
had
long
very
long
after
old
ahab
touched
her
planks
with
his
ivory
heel
it
minds
me
of
the
noble
solid
saxon
hospitality
of
that
ship
and
may
my
parson
forget
me
and
the
devil
remember
me
if
i
ever
lose
sight
of
it
flip
did
i
say
we
had
flip
yes
and
we
flipped
it
at
the
rate
of
ten
gallons
the
hour
and
when
the
squall
came
for
its
squally
off
there
by
patagonia
and
all
hands
visitors
and
all
were
called
to
reef
topsails
we
were
so
top
heavy
that
we
had
to
swing
each
other
aloft
in
bowlines
and
we
ignorantly
furled
the
skirts
of
our
jackets
into
the
sails
so
that
we
hung
there
reefed
fast
in
the
howling
gale
a
warning
example
to
all
drunken
tars
however
the
masts
did
not
go
overboard
and
by
and
bye
we
scrambled
down
so
sober
that
we
had
to
pass
the
flip
again
though
the
savage
salt
spray
bursting
down
the
forecastle
scuttle
rather
too
much
diluted
and
pickled
it
to
my
taste
the
beef
was
fine
tough
but
with
body
in
it
they
said
it
was
bull
beef
others
that
it
was
dromedary
beef
but
i
do
not
know
for
certain
how
that
was
they
had
dumplings
too
small
but
substantial
symmetrically
globular
and
indestructible
dumplings
i
fancied
that
you
could
feel
them
and
roll
them
about
in
you
after
they
were
swallowed
if
you
stooped
over
too
far
forward
you
risked
their
pitching
out
of
you
like
billiard
balls
the
bread
but
that
couldnt
be
helped
besides
it
was
an
anti
scorbutic
in
short
the
bread
contained
the
only
fresh
fare
they
had
but
the
forecastle
was
not
very
light
and
it
was
very
easy
to
step
over
into
a
dark
corner
when
you
ate
it
but
all
in
all
taking
her
from
truck
to
helm
considering
the
dimensions
of
the
cooks
boilers
including
his
own
live
parchment
boilers
fore
and
aft
i
say
the
samuel
enderby
was
a
jolly
ship
of
good
fare
and
plenty
fine
flip
and
strong
crack
fellows
all
and
capital
from
boot
heels
to
hat
band
but
why
was
it
think
ye
that
the
samuel
enderby
and
some
other
english
whalers
i
know
of
not
all
though
were
such
famous
hospitable
ships
that
passed
round
the
beef
and
the
bread
and
the
can
and
the
joke
and
were
not
soon
weary
of
eating
and
drinking
and
laughing
i
will
tell
you
the
abounding
good
cheer
of
these
english
whalers
is
matter
for
historical
research
nor
have
i
been
at
all
sparing
of
historical
whale
research
when
it
has
seemed
needed
the
english
were
preceded
in
the
whale
fishery
by
the
hollanders
zealanders
and
danes
from
whom
they
derived
many
terms
still
extant
in
the
fishery
and
what
is
yet
more
their
fat
old
fashions
touching
plenty
to
eat
and
drink
for
as
a
general
thing
the
english
merchant
ship
scrimps
her
crew
but
not
so
the
english
whaler
hence
in
the
english
this
thing
of
whaling
good
cheer
is
not
normal
and
natural
but
incidental
and
particular
and
therefore
must
have
some
special
origin
which
is
here
pointed
out
and
will
be
still
further
elucidated
during
my
researches
in
the
leviathanic
histories
i
stumbled
upon
an
ancient
dutch
volume
which
by
the
musty
whaling
smell
of
it
i
knew
must
be
about
whalers
the
title
was
dan
coopman
wherefore
i
concluded
that
this
must
be
the
invaluable
memoirs
of
some
amsterdam
cooper
in
the
fishery
as
every
whale
ship
must
carry
its
cooper
i
was
reinforced
in
this
opinion
by
seeing
that
it
was
the
production
of
one
fitz
swackhammer
but
my
friend
dr
snodhead
a
very
learned
man
professor
of
low
dutch
and
high
german
in
the
college
of
santa
claus
and
st
potts
to
whom
i
handed
the
work
for
translation
giving
him
a
box
of
sperm
candles
for
his
trouble
this
same
dr
snodhead
so
soon
as
he
spied
the
book
assured
me
that
dan
coopman
did
not
mean
the
cooper
but
the
merchant
in
short
this
ancient
and
learned
low
dutch
book
treated
of
the
commerce
of
holland
and
among
other
subjects
contained
a
very
interesting
account
of
its
whale
fishery
and
in
this
chapter
it
was
headed
smeer
or
fat
that
i
found
a
long
detailed
list
of
the
outfits
for
the
larders
and
cellars
of
sail
of
dutch
whalemen
from
which
list
as
translated
by
dr
snodhead
i
transcribe
the
following
lbs
of
beef
lbs
friesland
pork
lbs
of
stock
fish
lbs
of

most

are

not
so
in

case
however
where
the
reader
is
flooded
with
whole
pipes
barrels
quarts
and
gills
of
good
gin
and
good
cheer
at
the
time
i
devoted
three
days
to
the
studious
digesting
of
all
this
beer
beef
and
bread
during
which
many
profound
thoughts
were
incidentally
suggested
to
me
capable
of
a
transcendental
and
platonic
application
and
furthermore
i
compiled
supplementary
tables
of
my
own
touching
the
probable
quantity
of
stock
fish
etc
consumed
by
every
low
dutch
harpooneer
in
that
ancient
greenland
and
spitzbergen
whale
fishery
in
the
first
place
the
amount
of
butter
and
texel
and
leyden
cheese
consumed
seems
amazing
i
impute
it
though
to
their
naturally
unctuous
natures
being
rendered
still
more
unctuous
by
the
nature
of
their
vocation
and
especially
by
their
pursuing
their
game
in
those
frigid
polar
seas
on
the
very
coasts
of
that
esquimaux
country
where
the
convivial
natives
pledge
each
other
in
bumpers
of
train
oil
the
quantity
of
beer
too
is
very
large
barrels
now
as
those
polar
fisheries
could
only
be
prosecuted
in
the
short
summer
of
that
climate
so
that
the
whole
cruise
of
one
of
these
dutch
whalemen
including
the
short
voyage
to
and
from
the
spitzbergen
sea
did
not
much
exceed
three
months
say
and
reckoning
men
to
each
of
their
fleet
of
sail
we
have
low
dutch
seamen
in
all
therefore
i
say
we
have
precisely
two
barrels
of
beer
per
man
for
a
twelve
weeks
allowance
exclusive
of
his
fair
proportion
of
that
ankers
of
gin
now
whether
these
gin
and
beer
harpooneers
so
fuddled
as
one
might
fancy
them
to
have
been
were
the
right
sort
of
men
to
stand
up
in
a
boats
head
and
take
good
aim
at
flying
whales
this
would
seem
somewhat
improbable
yet
they
did
aim
at
them
and
hit
them
too
but
this
was
very
far
north
be
it
remembered
where
beer
agrees
well
with
the
constitution
upon
the
equator
in
our
southern
fishery
beer
would
be
apt
to
make
the
harpooneer
sleepy
at
the
mast
head
and
boozy
in
his
boat
and
grievous
loss
might
ensue
to
nantucket
and
new
bedford
but
no
more
enough
has
been
said
to
show
that
the
old
dutch
whalers
of
two
or
three
centuries
ago
were
high
livers
and
that
the
english
whalers
have
not
neglected
so
excellent
an
example
for
say
they
when
cruising
in
an
empty
ship
if
you
can
get
nothing
better
out
of
the
world
get
a
good
dinner
out
of
it
at
least
and
this
empties
the
decanter
hitherto
in
descriptively
treating
of
the
sperm
whale
i
have
chiefly
dwelt
upon
the
marvels
of
his
outer
aspect
or
separately
and
in
detail
upon
some
few
interior
structural
features
but
to
a
large
and
thorough
sweeping
comprehension
of
him
it
behoves
me
now
to
unbutton
him
still
further
and
untagging
the
points
of
his
hose
unbuckling
his
garters
and
casting
loose
the
hooks
and
the
eyes
of
the
joints
of
his
innermost
bones
set
him
before
you
in
his
ultimatum
that
is
to
say
in
his
unconditional
skeleton
but
how
now
ishmael
how
is
it
that
you
a
mere
oarsman
in
the
fishery
pretend
to
know
aught
about
the
subterranean
parts
of
the
whale
did
erudite
stubb
mounted
upon
your
capstan
deliver
lectures
on
the
anatomy
of
the
cetacea
and
by
help
of
the
windlass
hold
up
a
specimen
rib
for
exhibition
explain
thyself
ishmael
can
you
land
a
full
grown
whale
on
your
deck
for
examination
as
a
cook
dishes
a
roast
pig
surely
not
a
veritable
witness
have
you
hitherto
been
ishmael
but
have
a
care
how
you
seize
the
privilege
of
jonah
alone
the
privilege
of
discoursing
upon
the
joists
and
beams
the
rafters
ridge
pole
sleepers
and
under
pinnings
making
up
the
frame
work
of
leviathan
and
belike
of
the
tallow
vats
dairy
rooms
butteries
and
cheeseries
in
his
bowels
i
confess
that
since
jonah
few
whalemen
have
penetrated
very
far
beneath
the
skin
of
the
adult
whale
nevertheless
i
have
been
blessed
with
an
opportunity
to
dissect
him
in
miniature
in
a
ship
i
belonged
to
a
small
cub
sperm
whale
was
once
bodily
hoisted
to
the
deck
for
his
poke
or
bag
to
make
sheaths
for
the
barbs
of
the
harpoons
and
for
the
heads
of
the
lances
think
you
i
let
that
chance
go
without
using
my
boat
hatchet
and
jack
knife
and
breaking
the
seal
and
reading
all
the
contents
of
that
young
cub
and
as
for
my
exact
knowledge
of
the
bones
of
the
leviathan
in
their
gigantic
full
grown
development
for
that
rare
knowledge
i
am
indebted
to
my
late
royal
friend
tranquo
king
of
tranque
one
of
the
arsacides
for
being
at
tranque
years
ago
when
attached
to
the
trading
ship
dey
of
algiers
i
was
invited
to
spend
part
of
the
arsacidean
holidays
with
the
lord
of
tranque
at
his
retired
palm
villa
at
pupella
a
sea
side
glen
not
very
far
distant
from
what
our
sailors
called
bamboo
town
his
capital
among
many
other
fine
qualities
my
royal
friend
tranquo
being
gifted
with
a
devout
love
for
all
matters
of
barbaric
vertu
had
brought
together
in
pupella
whatever
rare
things
the
more
ingenious
of
his
people
could
invent
chiefly
carved
woods
of
wonderful
devices
chiselled
shells
inlaid
spears
costly
paddles
aromatic
canoes
and
all
these
distributed
among
whatever
natural
wonders
the
wonder
freighted
tribute
rendering
waves
had
cast
upon
his
shores
chief
among
these
latter
was
a
great
sperm
whale
which
after
an
unusually
long
raging
gale
had
been
found
dead
and
stranded
with
his
head
against
a
cocoa
nut
tree
whose
plumage
like
tufted
droopings
seemed
his
verdant
jet
when
the
vast
body
had
at
last
been
stripped
of
its
fathom
deep
enfoldings
and
the
bones
become
dust
dry
in
the
sun
then
the
skeleton
was
carefully
transported
up
the
pupella
glen
where
a
grand
temple
of
lordly
palms
now
sheltered
it
the
ribs
were
hung
with
trophies
the
vertebrae
were
carved
with
arsacidean
annals
in
strange
hieroglyphics
in
the
skull
the
priests
kept
up
an
unextinguished
aromatic
flame
so
that
the
mystic
head
again
sent
forth
its
vapory
spout
while
suspended
from
a
bough
the
terrific
lower
jaw
vibrated
over
all
the
devotees
like
the
hair
hung
sword
that
so
affrighted
damocles
it
was
a
wondrous
sight
the
wood
was
green
as
mosses
of
the
icy
glen
the
trees
stood
high
and
haughty
feeling
their
living
sap
the
industrious
earth
beneath
was
as
a
weavers
loom
with
a
gorgeous
carpet
on
it
whereof
the
ground
vine
tendrils
formed
the
warp
and
woof
and
the
living
flowers
the
figures
all
the
trees
with
all
their
laden
branches
all
the
shrubs
and
ferns
and
grasses
the
message
carrying
air
all
these
unceasingly
were
active
through
the
lacings
of
the
leaves
the
great
sun
seemed
a
flying
shuttle
weaving
the
unwearied
verdure
oh
busy
weaver
unseen
weaver
pause
one
word
whither
flows
the
fabric
what
palace
may
it
deck
wherefore
all
these
ceaseless
toilings
speak
weaver
stay
thy
hand
but
one
single
word
with
thee
nay
the
shuttle
flies
the
figures
float
from
forth
the
loom
the
freshet
rushing
carpet
for
ever
slides
away
the
weaver
god
he
weaves
and
by
that
weaving
is
he
deafened
that
he
hears
no
mortal
voice
and
by
that
humming
we
too
who
look
on
the
loom
are
deafened
and
only
when
we
escape
it
shall
we
hear
the
thousand
voices
that
speak
through
it
for
even
so
it
is
in
all
material
factories
the
spoken
words
that
are
inaudible
among
the
flying
spindles
those
same
words
are
plainly
heard
without
the
walls
bursting
from
the
opened
casements
thereby
have
villanies
been
detected
ah
mortal
then
be
heedful
for
so
in
all
this
din
of
the
great
worlds
loom
thy
subtlest
thinkings
may
be
overheard
afar
now
amid
the
green
life
restless
loom
of
that
arsacidean
wood
the
great
white
worshipped
skeleton
lay
lounging
a
gigantic
idler
yet
as
the
ever
woven
verdant
warp
and
woof
intermixed
and
hummed
around
him
the
mighty
idler
seemed
the
cunning
weaver
himself
all
woven
over
with
the
vines
every
month
assuming
greener
fresher
verdure
but
himself
a
skeleton
life
folded
death
death
trellised
life
the
grim
god
wived
with
youthful
life
and
begat
him
curly
headed
glories
now
when
with
royal
tranquo
i
visited
this
wondrous
whale
and
saw
the
skull
an
altar
and
the
artificial
smoke
ascending
from
where
the
real
jet
had
issued
i
marvelled
that
the
king
should
regard
a
chapel
as
an
object
of
vertu
he
laughed
but
more
i
marvelled
that
the
priests
should
swear
that
smoky
jet
of
his
was
genuine
to
and
fro
i
paced
before
this
skeleton
brushed
the
vines
aside
broke
through
the
ribs
and
with
a
ball
of
arsacidean
twine
wandered
eddied
long
amid
its
many
winding
shaded
collonades
and
arbors
but
soon
my
line
was
out
and
following
it
back
i
emerged
from
the
opening
where
i
entered
i
saw
no
living
thing
within
naught
was
there
but
bones
cutting
me
a
green
measuring
rod
i
once
more
dived
within
the
skeleton
from
their
arrow
slit
in
the
skull
the
priests
perceived
me
taking
the
altitude
of
the
final
rib
how
now
they
shouted
darst
thou
measure
this
our
god
thats
for
us
aye
priests
well
how
long
do
ye
make
him
then
but
hereupon
a
fierce
contest
rose
among
them
concerning
feet
and
inches
they
cracked
each
others
sconces
with
their
yard
sticks
the
great
skull
echoed
and
seizing
that
lucky
chance
i
quickly
concluded
my
own
admeasurements
these
admeasurements
i
now
propose
to
set
before
you
but
first
be
it
recorded
that
in
this
matter
i
am
not
free
to
utter
any
fancied
measurement
i
please
because
there
are
skeleton
authorities
you
can
refer
to
to
test
my
accuracy
there
is
a
leviathanic
museum
they
tell
me
in
hull
england
one
of
the
whaling
ports
of
that
country
where
they
have
some
fine
specimens
of
fin
backs
and
other
whales
likewise
i
have
heard
that
in
the
museum
of
manchester
in
new
hampshire
they
have
what
the
proprietors
call
the
only
perfect
specimen
of
a
greenland
or
river
whale
in
the
united
states
moreover
at
a
place
in
yorkshire
england
burton
constable
by
name
a
certain
sir
clifford
constable
has
in
his
possession
the
skeleton
of
a
sperm
whale
but
of
moderate
size
by
no
means
of
the
full
grown
magnitude
of
my
friend
king
tranquos
in
both
cases
the
stranded
whales
to
which
these
two
skeletons
belonged
were
originally
claimed
by
their
proprietors
upon
similar
grounds
king
tranquo
seizing
his
because
he
wanted
it
and
sir
clifford
because
he
was
lord
of
the
seignories
of
those
parts
sir
cliffords
whale
has
been
articulated
throughout
so
that
like
a
great
chest
of
drawers
you
can
open
and
shut
him
in
all
his
bony
cavities
spread
out
his
ribs
like
a
gigantic
fan
and
swing
all
day
upon
his
lower
jaw
locks
are
to
be
put
upon
some
of
his
trap
doors
and
shutters
and
a
footman
will
show
round
future
visitors
with
a
bunch
of
keys
at
his
side
sir
clifford
thinks
of
charging
twopence
for
a
peep
at
the
whispering
gallery
in
the
spinal
column
threepence
to
hear
the
echo
in
the
hollow
of
his
cerebellum
and
sixpence
for
the
unrivalled
view
from
his
forehead
the
skeleton
dimensions
i
shall
now
proceed
to
set
down
are
copied
verbatim
from
my
right
arm
where
i
had
them
tattooed
as
in
my
wild
wanderings
at
that
period
there
was
no
other
secure
way
of
preserving
such
valuable
statistics
but
as
i
was
crowded
for
space
and
wished
the
other
parts
of
my
body
to
remain
a
blank
page
for
a
poem
i
was
then
composing
at
least
what
untattooed
parts
might
remain
i
did
not
trouble
myself
with
the
odd
inches
nor
indeed
should
inches
at
all
enter
into
a
congenial
admeasurement
of
the
whale
in
the
first
place
i
wish
to
lay
before
you
a
particular
plain
statement
touching
the
living
bulk
of
this
leviathan
whose
skeleton
we
are
briefly
to
exhibit
such
a
statement
may
prove
useful
here
according
to
a
careful
calculation
i
have
made
and
which
i
partly
base
upon
captain
scoresbys
estimate
of
seventy
tons
for
the
largest
sized
greenland
whale
of
sixty
feet
in
length
according
to
my
careful
calculation
i
say
a
sperm
whale
of
the
largest
magnitude
between
eighty
five
and
ninety
feet
in
length
and
something
less
than
forty
feet
in
its
fullest
circumference
such
a
whale
will
weigh
at
least
ninety
tons
so
that
reckoning
thirteen
men
to
a
ton
he
would
considerably
outweigh
the
combined
population
of
a
whole
village
of
one
thousand
one
hundred
inhabitants
think
you
not
then
that
brains
like
yoked
cattle
should
be
put
to
this
leviathan
to
make
him
at
all
budge
to
any
landsmans
imagination
having
already
in
various
ways
put
before
you
his
skull
spout
hole
jaw
teeth
tail
forehead
fins
and
divers
other
parts
i
shall
now
simply
point
out
what
is
most
interesting
in
the
general
bulk
of
his
unobstructed
bones
but
as
the
colossal
skull
embraces
so
very
large
a
proportion
of
the
entire
extent
of
the
skeleton
as
it
is
by
far
the
most
complicated
part
and
as
nothing
is
to
be
repeated
concerning
it
in
this
chapter
you
must
not
fail
to
carry
it
in
your
mind
or
under
your
arm
as
we
proceed
otherwise
you
will
not
gain
a
complete
notion
of
the
general
structure
we
are
about
to
view
in
length
the
sperm
whales
skeleton
at
tranque
measured
seventy
two
feet
so
that
when
fully
invested
and
extended
in
life
he
must
have
been
ninety
feet
long
for
in
the
whale
the
skeleton
loses
about
one
fifth
in
length
compared
with
the
living
body
of
this
seventy
two
feet
his
skull
and
jaw
comprised
some
twenty
feet
leaving
some
fifty
feet
of
plain
back
bone
attached
to
this
back
bone
for
something
less
than
a
third
of
its
length
was
the
mighty
circular
basket
of
ribs
which
once
enclosed
his
vitals
to
me
this
vast
ivory
ribbed
chest
with
the
long
unrelieved
spine
extending
far
away
from
it
in
a
straight
line
not
a
little
resembled
the
hull
of
a
great
ship
new
laid
upon
the
stocks
when
only
some
twenty
of
her
naked
bow
ribs
are
inserted
and
the
keel
is
otherwise
for
the
time
but
a
long
disconnected
timber
the
ribs
were
ten
on
a
side
the
first
to
begin
from
the
neck
was
nearly
six
feet
long
the
second
third
and
fourth
were
each
successively
longer
till
you
came
to
the
climax
of
the
fifth
or
one
of
the
middle
ribs
which
measured
eight
feet
and
some
inches
from
that
part
the
remaining
ribs
diminished
till
the
tenth
and
last
only
spanned
five
feet
and
some
inches
in
general
thickness
they
all
bore
a
seemly
correspondence
to
their
length
the
middle
ribs
were
the
most
arched
in
some
of
the
arsacides
they
are
used
for
beams
whereon
to
lay
foot
path
bridges
over
small
streams
in
considering
these
ribs
i
could
not
but
be
struck
anew
with
the
circumstance
so
variously
repeated
in
this
book
that
the
skeleton
of
the
whale
is
by
no
means
the
mould
of
his
invested
form
the
largest
of
the
tranque
ribs
one
of
the
middle
ones
occupied
that
part
of
the
fish
which
in
life
is
greatest
in
depth
now
the
greatest
depth
of
the
invested
body
of
this
particular
whale
must
have
been
at
least
sixteen
feet
whereas
the
corresponding
rib
measured
but
little
more
than
eight
feet
so
that
this
rib
only
conveyed
half
of
the
true
notion
of
the
living
magnitude
of
that
part
besides
for
some
way
where
i
now
saw
but
a
naked
spine
all
that
had
been
once
wrapped
round
with
tons
of
added
bulk
in
flesh
muscle
blood
and
bowels
still
more
for
the
ample
fins
i
here
saw
but
a
few
disordered
joints
and
in
place
of
the
weighty
and
majestic
but
boneless
flukes
an
utter
blank
how
vain
and
foolish
then
thought
i
for
timid
untravelled
man
to
try
to
comprehend
aright
this
wondrous
whale
by
merely
poring
over
his
dead
attenuated
skeleton
stretched
in
this
peaceful
wood
no
only
in
the
heart
of
quickest
perils
only
when
within
the
eddyings
of
his
angry
flukes
only
on
the
profound
unbounded
sea
can
the
fully
invested
whale
be
truly
and
livingly
found
out
but
the
spine
for
that
the
best
way
we
can
consider
it
is
with
a
crane
to
pile
its
bones
high
up
on
end
no
speedy
enterprise
but
now
its
done
it
looks
much
like
pompeys
pillar
there
are
forty
and
odd
vertebrae
in
all
which
in
the
skeleton
are
not
locked
together
they
mostly
lie
like
the
great
knobbed
blocks
on
a
gothic
spire
forming
solid
courses
of
heavy
masonry
the
largest
a
middle
one
is
in
width
something
less
than
three
feet
and
in
depth
more
than
four
the
smallest
where
the
spine
tapers
away
into
the
tail
is
only
two
inches
in
width
and
looks
something
like
a
white
billiard
ball
i
was
told
that
there
were
still
smaller
ones
but
they
had
been
lost
by
some
little
cannibal
urchins
the
priests
children
who
had
stolen
them
to
play
marbles
with
thus
we
see
how
that
the
spine
of
even
the
hugest
of
living
things
tapers
off
at
last
into
simple
childs
play
from
his
mighty
bulk
the
whale
affords
a
most
congenial
theme
whereon
to
enlarge
amplify
and
generally
expatiate
would
you
you
could
not
compress
him
by
good
rights
he
should
only
be
treated
of
in
imperial
folio
not
to
tell
over
again
his
furlongs
from
spiracle
to
tail
and
the
yards
he
measures
about
the
waist
only
think
of
the
gigantic
involutions
of
his
intestines
where
they
lie
in
him
like
great
cables
and
hausers
coiled
away
in
the
subterranean
orlop
deck
of
a
line
of
battle
ship
since
i
have
undertaken
to
manhandle
this
leviathan
it
behoves
me
to
approve
myself
omnisciently
exhaustive
in
the
enterprise
not
overlooking
the
minutest
seminal
germs
of
his
blood
and
spinning
him
out
to
the
uttermost
coil
of
his
bowels
having
already
described
him
in
most
of
his
present
habitatory
and
anatomical
peculiarities
it
now
remains
to
magnify
him
in
an
archaeological
fossiliferous
and
antediluvian
point
of
view
applied
to
any
other
creature
than
the
leviathan
to
an
ant
or
a
flea
such
portly
terms
might
justly
be
deemed
unwarrantably
grandiloquent
but
when
leviathan
is
the
text
the
case
is
altered
fain
am
i
to
stagger
to
this
emprise
under
the
weightiest
words
of
the
dictionary
and
here
be
it
said
that
whenever
it
has
been
convenient
to
consult
one
in
the
course
of
these
dissertations
i
have
invariably
used
a
huge
quarto
edition
of
johnson
expressly
purchased
for
that
purpose
because
that
famous
lexicographers
uncommon
personal
bulk
more
fitted
him
to
compile
a
lexicon
to
be
used
by
a
whale
author
like
me
one
often
hears
of
writers
that
rise
and
swell
with
their
subject
though
it
may
seem
but
an
ordinary
one
how
then
with
me
writing
of
this
leviathan
unconsciously
my
chirography
expands
into
placard
capitals
give
me
a
condors
quill
give
me
vesuvius
crater
for
an
inkstand
friends
hold
my
arms
for
in
the
mere
act
of
penning
my
thoughts
of
this
leviathan
they
weary
me
and
make
me
faint
with
their
out
reaching
comprehensiveness
of
sweep
as
if
to
include
the
whole
circle
of
the
sciences
and
all
the
generations
of
whales
and
men
and
mastodons
past
present
and
to
come
with
all
the
revolving
panoramas
of
empire
on
earth
and
throughout
the
whole
universe
not
excluding
its
suburbs
such
and
so
magnifying
is
the
virtue
of
a
large
and
liberal
theme
we
expand
to
its
bulk
to
produce
a
mighty
book
you
must
choose
a
mighty
theme
no
great
and
enduring
volume
can
ever
be
written
on
the
flea
though
many
there
be
who
have
tried
it
ere
entering
upon
the
subject
of
fossil
whales
i
present
my
credentials
as
a
geologist
by
stating
that
in
my
miscellaneous
time
i
have
been
a
stone
mason
and
also
a
great
digger
of
ditches
canals
and
wells
wine
vaults
cellars
and
cisterns
of
all
sorts
likewise
by
way
of
preliminary
i
desire
to
remind
the
reader
that
while
in
the
earlier
geological
strata
there
are
found
the
fossils
of
monsters
now
almost
completely
extinct
the
subsequent
relics
discovered
in
what
are
called
the
tertiary
formations
seem
the
connecting
or
at
any
rate
intercepted
links
between
the
antichronical
creatures
and
those
whose
remote
posterity
are
said
to
have
entered
the
ark
all
the
fossil
whales
hitherto
discovered
belong
to
the
tertiary
period
which
is
the
last
preceding
the
superficial
formations
and
though
none
of
them
precisely
answer
to
any
known
species
of
the
present
time
they
are
yet
sufficiently
akin
to
them
in
general
respects
to
justify
their
taking
ranks
as
cetacean
fossils
detached
broken
fossils
of
pre
adamite
whales
fragments
of
their
bones
and
skeletons
have
within
thirty
years
past
at
various
intervals
been
found
at
the
base
of
the
alps
in
lombardy
in
france
in
england
in
scotland
and
in
the
states
of
louisiana
mississippi
and
alabama
among
the
more
curious
of
such
remains
is
part
of
a
skull
which
in
the
year
was
disinterred
in
the
rue
dauphine
in
paris
a
short
street
opening
almost
directly
upon
the
palace
of
the
tuileries
and
bones
disinterred
in
excavating
the
great
docks
of
antwerp
in
napoleons
time
cuvier
pronounced
these
fragments
to
have
belonged
to
some
utterly
unknown
leviathanic
species
but
by
far
the
most
wonderful
of
all
cetacean
relics
was
the
almost
complete
vast
skeleton
of
an
extinct
monster
found
in
the
year
on
the
plantation
of
judge
creagh
in
alabama
the
awe
stricken
credulous
slaves
in
the
vicinity
took
it
for
the
bones
of
one
of
the
fallen
angels
the
alabama
doctors
declared
it
a
huge
reptile
and
bestowed
upon
it
the
name
of
basilosaurus
but
some
specimen
bones
of
it
being
taken
across
the
sea
to
owen
the
english
anatomist
it
turned
out
that
this
alleged
reptile
was
a
whale
though
of
a
departed
species
a
significant
illustration
of
the
fact
again
and
again
repeated
in
this
book
that
the
skeleton
of
the
whale
furnishes
but
little
clue
to
the
shape
of
his
fully
invested
body
so
owen
rechristened
the
monster
zeuglodon
and
in
his
paper
read
before
the
london
geological
society
pronounced
it
in
substance
one
of
the
most
extraordinary
creatures
which
the
mutations
of
the
globe
have
blotted
out
of
existence
when
i
stand
among
these
mighty
leviathan
skeletons
skulls
tusks
jaws
ribs
and
vertebrae
all
characterized
by
partial
resemblances
to
the
existing
breeds
of
sea
monsters
but
at
the
same
time
bearing
on
the
other
hand
similar
affinities
to
the
annihilated
antichronical
leviathans
their
incalculable
seniors
i
am
by
a
flood
borne
back
to
that
wondrous
period
ere
time
itself
can
be
said
to
have
begun
for
time
began
with
man
here
saturns
grey
chaos
rolls
over
me
and
i
obtain
dim
shuddering
glimpses
into
those
polar
eternities
when
wedged
bastions
of
ice
pressed
hard
upon
what
are
now
the
tropics
and
in
all
the
miles
of
this
worlds
circumference
not
an
inhabitable
hands
breadth
of
land
was
visible
then
the
whole
world
was
the
whales
and
king
of
creation
he
left
his
wake
along
the
present
lines
of
the
andes
and
the
himmalehs
who
can
show
a
pedigree
like
leviathan
ahabs
harpoon
had
shed
older
blood
than
the
pharaohs
methuselah
seems
a
school
boy
i
look
round
to
shake
hands
with
shem
i
am
horror
struck
at
this
antemosaic
unsourced
existence
of
the
unspeakable
terrors
of
the
whale
which
having
been
before
all
time
must
needs
exist
after
all
humane
ages
are
over
but
not
alone
has
this
leviathan
left
his
pre
adamite
traces
in
the
stereotype
plates
of
nature
and
in
limestone
and
marl
bequeathed
his
ancient
bust
but
upon
egyptian
tablets
whose
antiquity
seems
to
claim
for
them
an
almost
fossiliferous
character
we
find
the
unmistakable
print
of
his
fin
in
an
apartment
of
the
great
temple
of
denderah
some
fifty
years
ago
there
was
discovered
upon
the
granite
ceiling
a
sculptured
and
painted
planisphere
abounding
in
centaurs
griffins
and
dolphins
similar
to
the
grotesque
figures
on
the
celestial
globe
of
the
moderns
gliding
among
them
old
leviathan
swam
as
of
yore
was
there
swimming
in
that
planisphere
centuries
before
solomon
was
cradled
nor
must
there
be
omitted
another
strange
attestation
of
the
antiquity
of
the
whale
in
his
own
osseous
post
diluvian
reality
as
set
down
by
the
venerable
john
leo
the
old
barbary
traveller
not
far
from
the
sea
side
they
have
a
temple
the
rafters
and
beams
of
which
are
made
of
whale
bones
for
whales
of
a
monstrous
size
are
oftentimes
cast
up
dead
upon
that
shore
the
common
people
imagine
that
by
a
secret
power
bestowed
by
god
upon
the
temple
no
whale
can
pass
it
without
immediate
death
but
the
truth
of
the
matter
is
that
on
either
side
of
the
temple
there
are
rocks
that
shoot
two
miles
into
the
sea
and
wound
the
whales
when
they
light
upon
em
they
keep
a
whales
rib
of
an
incredible
length
for
a
miracle
which
lying
upon
the
ground
with
its
convex
part
uppermost
makes
an
arch
the
head
of
which
cannot
be
reached
by
a
man
upon
a
camels
back
this
rib
says
john
leo
is
said
to
have
layn
there
a
hundred
years
before
i
saw
it
their
historians
affirm
that
a
prophet
who
prophesyd
of
mahomet
came
from
this
temple
and
some
do
not
stand
to
assert
that
the
prophet
jonas
was
cast
forth
by
the
whale
at
the
base
of
the
temple
in
this
afric
temple
of
the
whale
i
leave
you
reader
and
if
you
be
a
nantucketer
and
a
whaleman
you
will
silently
worship
there
inasmuch
then
as
this
leviathan
comes
floundering
down
upon
us
from
the
head
waters
of
the
eternities
it
may
be
fitly
inquired
whether
in
the
long
course
of
his
generations
he
has
not
degenerated
from
the
original
bulk
of
his
sires
but
upon
investigation
we
find
that
not
only
are
the
whales
of
the
present
day
superior
in
magnitude
to
those
whose
fossil
remains
are
found
in
the
tertiary
system
embracing
a
distinct
geological
period
prior
to
man
but
of
the
whales
found
in
that
tertiary
system
those
belonging
to
its
latter
formations
exceed
in
size
those
of
its
earlier
ones
of
all
the
pre
adamite
whales
yet
exhumed
by
far
the
largest
is
the
alabama
one
mentioned
in
the
last
chapter
and
that
was
less
than
seventy
feet
in
length
in
the
skeleton
whereas
we
have
already
seen
that
the
tape
measure
gives
seventy
two
feet
for
the
skeleton
of
a
large
sized
modern
whale
and
i
have
heard
on
whalemens
authority
that
sperm
whales
have
been
captured
near
a
hundred
feet
long
at
the
time
of
capture
but
may
it
not
be
that
while
the
whales
of
the
present
hour
are
an
advance
in
magnitude
upon
those
of
all
previous
geological
periods
may
it
not
be
that
since
adams
time
they
have
degenerated
assuredly
we
must
conclude
so
if
we
are
to
credit
the
accounts
of
such
gentlemen
as
pliny
and
the
ancient
naturalists
generally
for
pliny
tells
us
of
whales
that
embraced
acres
of
living
bulk
and
aldrovandus
of
others
which
measured
eight
hundred
feet
in
length
rope
walks
and
thames
tunnels
of
whales
and
even
in
the
days
of
banks
and
solander
cookes
naturalists
we
find
a
danish
member
of
the
academy
of
sciences
setting
down
certain
iceland
whales
reydan
siskur
or
wrinkled
bellies
at
one
hundred
and
twenty
yards
that
is
three
hundred
and
sixty
feet
and
lacepede
the
french
naturalist
in
his
elaborate
history
of
whales
in
the
very
beginning
of
his
work
page
sets
down
the
right
whale
at
one
hundred
metres
three
hundred
and
twenty
eight
feet
and
this
work
was
published
so
late
as
a
d
but
will
any
whaleman
believe
these
stories
no
the
whale
of
to
day
is
as
big
as
his
ancestors
in
plinys
time
and
if
ever
i
go
where
pliny
is
i
a
whaleman
more
than
he
was
will
make
bold
to
tell
him
so
because
i
cannot
understand
how
it
is
that
while
the
egyptian
mummies
that
were
buried
thousands
of
years
before
even
pliny
was
born
do
not
measure
so
much
in
their
coffins
as
a
modern
kentuckian
in
his
socks
and
while
the
cattle
and
other
animals
sculptured
on
the
oldest
egyptian
and
nineveh
tablets
by
the
relative
proportions
in
which
they
are
drawn
just
as
plainly
prove
that
the
high
bred
stall
fed
prize
cattle
of
smithfield
not
only
equal
but
far
exceed
in
magnitude
the
fattest
of
pharaohs
fat
kine
in
the
face
of
all
this
i
will
not
admit
that
of
all
animals
the
whale
alone
should
have
degenerated
but
still
another
inquiry
remains
one
often
agitated
by
the
more
recondite
nantucketers
whether
owing
to
the
almost
omniscient
look
outs
at
the
mast
heads
of
the
whale
ships
now
penetrating
even
through
behrings
straits
and
into
the
remotest
secret
drawers
and
lockers
of
the
world
and
the
thousand
harpoons
and
lances
darted
along
all
continental
coasts
the
moot
point
is
whether
leviathan
can
long
endure
so
wide
a
chase
and
so
remorseless
a
havoc
whether
he
must
not
at
last
be
exterminated
from
the
waters
and
the
last
whale
like
the
last
man
smoke
his
last
pipe
and
then
himself
evaporate
in
the
final
puff
comparing
the
humped
herds
of
whales
with
the
humped
herds
of
buffalo
which
not
forty
years
ago
overspread
by
tens
of
thousands
the
prairies
of
illinois
and
missouri
and
shook
their
iron
manes
and
scowled
with
their
thunder
clotted
brows
upon
the
sites
of
populous
river
capitals
where
now
the
polite
broker
sells
you
land
at
a
dollar
an
inch
in
such
a
comparison
an
irresistible
argument
would
seem
furnished
to
show
that
the
hunted
whale
cannot
now
escape
speedy
extinction
but
you
must
look
at
this
matter
in
every
light
though
so
short
a
period
ago
not
a
good
life
time
the
census
of
the
buffalo
in
illinois
exceeded
the
census
of
men
now
in
london
and
though
at
the
present
day
not
one
horn
or
hoof
of
them
remains
in
all
that
region
and
though
the
cause
of
this
wondrous
extermination
was
the
spear
of
man
yet
the
far
different
nature
of
the
whale
hunt
peremptorily
forbids
so
inglorious
an
end
to
the
leviathan
forty
men
in
one
ship
hunting
the
sperm
whale
for
forty
eight
months
think
they
have
done
extremely
well
and
thank
god
if
at
last
they
carry
home
the
oil
of
forty
fish
whereas
in
the
days
of
the
old
canadian
and
indian
hunters
and
trappers
of
the
west
when
the
far
west
in
whose
sunset
suns
still
rise
was
a
wilderness
and
a
virgin
the
same
number
of
moccasined
men
for
the
same
number
of
months
mounted
on
horse
instead
of
sailing
in
ships
would
have
slain
not
forty
but
forty
thousand
and
more
buffaloes
a
fact
that
if
need
were
could
be
statistically
stated
nor
considered
aright
does
it
seem
any
argument
in
favor
of
the
gradual
extinction
of
the
sperm
whale
for
example
that
in
former
years
the
latter
part
of
the
last
century
say
these
leviathans
in
small
pods
were
encountered
much
oftener
than
at
present
and
in
consequence
the
voyages
were
not
so
prolonged
and
were
also
much
more
remunerative
because
as
has
been
elsewhere
noticed
those
whales
influenced
by
some
views
to
safety
now
swim
the
seas
in
immense
caravans
so
that
to
a
large
degree
the
scattered
solitaries
yokes
and
pods
and
schools
of
other
days
are
now
aggregated
into
vast
but
widely
separated
unfrequent
armies
that
is
all
and
equally
fallacious
seems
the
conceit
that
because
the
so
called
whale
bone
whales
no
longer
haunt
many
grounds
in
former
years
abounding
with
them
hence
that
species
also
is
declining
for
they
are
only
being
driven
from
promontory
to
cape
and
if
one
coast
is
no
longer
enlivened
with
their
jets
then
be
sure
some
other
and
remoter
strand
has
been
very
recently
startled
by
the
unfamiliar
spectacle
furthermore
concerning
these
last
mentioned
leviathans
they
have
two
firm
fortresses
which
in
all
human
probability
will
for
ever
remain
impregnable
and
as
upon
the
invasion
of
their
valleys
the
frosty
swiss
have
retreated
to
their
mountains
so
hunted
from
the
savannas
and
glades
of
the
middle
seas
the
whale
bone
whales
can
at
last
resort
to
their
polar
citadels
and
diving
under
the
ultimate
glassy
barriers
and
walls
there
come
up
among
icy
fields
and
floes
and
in
a
charmed
circle
of
everlasting
december
bid
defiance
to
all
pursuit
from
man
but
as
perhaps
fifty
of
these
whale
bone
whales
are
harpooned
for
one
cachalot
some
philosophers
of
the
forecastle
have
concluded
that
this
positive
havoc
has
already
very
seriously
diminished
their
battalions
but
though
for
some
time
past
a
number
of
these
whales
not
less
than
have
been
annually
slain
on
the
nor
west
coast
by
the
americans
alone
yet
there
are
considerations
which
render
even
this
circumstance
of
little
or
no
account
as
an
opposing
argument
in
this
matter
natural
as
it
is
to
be
somewhat
incredulous
concerning
the
populousness
of
the
more
enormous
creatures
of
the
globe
yet
what
shall
we
say
to
harto
the
historian
of
goa
when
he
tells
us
that
at
one
hunting
the
king
of
siam
took
elephants
that
in
those
regions
elephants
are
numerous
as
droves
of
cattle
in
the
temperate
climes
and
there
seems
no
reason
to
doubt
that
if
these
elephants
which
have
now
been
hunted
for
thousands
of
years
by
semiramis
by
porus
by
hannibal
and
by
all
the
successive
monarchs
of
the
east
if
they
still
survive
there
in
great
numbers
much
more
may
the
great
whale
outlast
all
hunting
since
he
has
a
pasture
to
expatiate
in
which
is
precisely
twice
as
large
as
all
asia
both
americas
europe
and
africa
new
holland
and
all
the
isles
of
the
sea
combined
moreover
we
are
to
consider
that
from
the
presumed
great
longevity
of
whales
their
probably
attaining
the
age
of
a
century
and
more
therefore
at
any
one
period
of
time
several
distinct
adult
generations
must
be
contemporary
and
what
that
is
we
may
soon
gain
some
idea
of
by
imagining
all
the
grave
yards
cemeteries
and
family
vaults
of
creation
yielding
up
the
live
bodies
of
all
the
men
women
and
children
who
were
alive
seventy
five
years
ago
and
adding
this
countless
host
to
the
present
human
population
of
the
globe
wherefore
for
all
these
things
we
account
the
whale
immortal
in
his
species
however
perishable
in
his
individuality
he
swam
the
seas
before
the
continents
broke
water
he
once
swam
over
the
site
of
the
tuileries
and
windsor
castle
and
the
kremlin
in
noahs
flood
he
despised
noahs
ark
and
if
ever
the
world
is
to
be
again
flooded
like
the
netherlands
to
kill
off
its
rats
then
the
eternal
whale
will
still
survive
and
rearing
upon
the
topmost
crest
of
the
equatorial
flood
spout
his
frothed
defiance
to
the
skies
the
precipitating
manner
in
which
captain
ahab
had
quitted
the
samuel
enderby
of
london
had
not
been
unattended
with
some
small
violence
to
his
own
person
he
had
lighted
with
such
energy
upon
a
thwart
of
his
boat
that
his
ivory
leg
had
received
a
half
splintering
shock
and
when
after
gaining
his
own
deck
and
his
own
pivot
hole
there
he
so
vehemently
wheeled
round
with
an
urgent
command
to
the
steersman
it
was
as
ever
something
about
his
not
steering
inflexibly
enough
then
the
already
shaken
ivory
received
such
an
additional
twist
and
wrench
that
though
it
still
remained
entire
and
to
all
appearances
lusty
yet
ahab
did
not
deem
it
entirely
trustworthy
and
indeed
it
seemed
small
matter
for
wonder
that
for
all
his
pervading
mad
recklessness
ahab
did
at
times
give
careful
heed
to
the
condition
of
that
dead
bone
upon
which
he
partly
stood
for
it
had
not
been
very
long
prior
to
the
pequods
sailing
from
nantucket
that
he
had
been
found
one
night
lying
prone
upon
the
ground
and
insensible
by
some
unknown
and
seemingly
inexplicable
unimaginable
casualty
his
ivory
limb
having
been
so
violently
displaced
that
it
had
stake
wise
smitten
and
all
but
pierced
his
groin
nor
was
it
without
extreme
difficulty
that
the
agonizing
wound
was
entirely
cured
nor
at
the
time
had
it
failed
to
enter
his
monomaniac
mind
that
all
the
anguish
of
that
then
present
suffering
was
but
the
direct
issue
of
a
former
woe
and
he
too
plainly
seemed
to
see
that
as
the
most
poisonous
reptile
of
the
marsh
perpetuates
his
kind
as
inevitably
as
the
sweetest
songster
of
the
grove
so
equally
with
every
felicity
all
miserable
events
do
naturally
beget
their
like
yea
more
than
equally
thought
ahab
since
both
the
ancestry
and
posterity
of
grief
go
further
than
the
ancestry
and
posterity
of
joy
for
not
to
hint
of
this
that
it
is
an
inference
from
certain
canonic
teachings
that
while
some
natural
enjoyments
here
shall
have
no
children
born
to
them
for
the
other
world
but
on
the
contrary
shall
be
followed
by
the
joy
childlessness
of
all
hells
despair
whereas
some
guilty
mortal
miseries
shall
still
fertilely
beget
to
themselves
an
eternally
progressive
progeny
of
griefs
beyond
the
grave
not
at
all
to
hint
of
this
there
still
seems
an
inequality
in
the
deeper
analysis
of
the
thing
for
thought
ahab
while
even
the
highest
earthly
felicities
ever
have
a
certain
unsignifying
pettiness
lurking
in
them
but
at
bottom
all
heart
woes
a
mystic
significance
and
in
some
men
an
archangelic
grandeur
so
do
their
diligent
tracings
out
not
belie
the
obvious
deduction
to
trail
the
genealogies
of
these
high
mortal
miseries
carries
us
at
last
among
the
sourceless
primogenitures
of
the
gods
so
that
in
the
face
of
all
the
glad
hay
making
suns
and
soft
cymballing
round
harvest
moons
we
must
needs
give
in
to
this
that
the
gods
themselves
are
not
for
ever
glad
the
ineffaceable
sad
birth
mark
in
the
brow
of
man
is
but
the
stamp
of
sorrow
in
the
signers
unwittingly
here
a
secret
has
been
divulged
which
perhaps
might
more
properly
in
set
way
have
been
disclosed
before
with
many
other
particulars
concerning
ahab
always
had
it
remained
a
mystery
to
some
why
it
was
that
for
a
certain
period
both
before
and
after
the
sailing
of
the
pequod
he
had
hidden
himself
away
with
such
grand
lama
like
exclusiveness
and
for
that
one
interval
sought
speechless
refuge
as
it
were
among
the
marble
senate
of
the
dead
captain
pelegs
bruited
reason
for
this
thing
appeared
by
no
means
adequate
though
indeed
as
touching
all
ahabs
deeper
part
every
revelation
partook
more
of
significant
darkness
than
of
explanatory
light
but
in
the
end
it
all
came
out
this
one
matter
did
at
least
that
direful
mishap
was
at
the
bottom
of
his
temporary
recluseness
and
not
only
this
but
to
that
ever
contracting
dropping
circle
ashore
who
for
any
reason
possessed
the
privilege
of
a
less
banned
approach
to
him
to
that
timid
circle
the
above
hinted
casualty
remaining
as
it
did
moodily
unaccounted
for
by
ahab
invested
itself
with
terrors
not
entirely
underived
from
the
land
of
spirits
and
of
wails
so
that
through
their
zeal
for
him
they
had
all
conspired
so
far
as
in
them
lay
to
muffle
up
the
knowledge
of
this
thing
from
others
and
hence
it
was
that
not
till
a
considerable
interval
had
elapsed
did
it
transpire
upon
the
pequods
decks
but
be
all
this
as
it
may
let
the
unseen
ambiguous
synod
in
the
air
or
the
vindictive
princes
and
potentates
of
fire
have
to
do
or
not
with
earthly
ahab
yet
in
this
present
matter
of
his
leg
he
took
plain
practical
procedures
he
called
the
carpenter
and
when
that
functionary
appeared
before
him
he
bade
him
without
delay
set
about
making
a
new
leg
and
directed
the
mates
to
see
him
supplied
with
all
the
studs
and
joists
of
jaw
ivory
sperm
whale
which
had
thus
far
been
accumulated
on
the
voyage
in
order
that
a
careful
selection
of
the
stoutest
clearest
grained
stuff
might
be
secured
this
done
the
carpenter
received
orders
to
have
the
leg
completed
that
night
and
to
provide
all
the
fittings
for
it
independent
of
those
pertaining
to
the
distrusted
one
in
use
moreover
the
ships
forge
was
ordered
to
be
hoisted
out
of
its
temporary
idleness
in
the
hold
and
to
accelerate
the
affair
the
blacksmith
was
commanded
to
proceed
at
once
to
the
forging
of
whatever
iron
contrivances
might
be
needed
seat
thyself
sultanically
among
the
moons
of
saturn
and
take
high
abstracted
man
alone
and
he
seems
a
wonder
a
grandeur
and
a
woe
but
from
the
same
point
take
mankind
in
mass
and
for
the
most
part
they
seem
a
mob
of
unnecessary
duplicates
both
contemporary
and
hereditary
but
most
humble
though
he
was
and
far
from
furnishing
an
example
of
the
high
humane
abstraction
the
pequods
carpenter
was
no
duplicate
hence
he
now
comes
in
person
on
this
stage
like
all
sea
going
ship
carpenters
and
more
especially
those
belonging
to
whaling
vessels
he
was
to
a
certain
off
handed
practical
extent
alike
experienced
in
numerous
trades
and
callings
collateral
to
his
own
the
carpenters
pursuit
being
the
ancient
and
outbranching
trunk
of
all
those
numerous
handicrafts
which
more
or
less
have
to
do
with
wood
as
an
auxiliary
material
but
besides
the
application
to
him
of
the
generic
remark
above
this
carpenter
of
the
pequod
was
singularly
efficient
in
those
thousand
nameless
mechanical
emergencies
continually
recurring
in
a
large
ship
upon
a
three
or
four
years
voyage
in
uncivilized
and
far
distant
seas
for
not
to
speak
of
his
readiness
in
ordinary
duties
repairing
stove
boats
sprung
spars
reforming
the
shape
of
clumsy
bladed
oars
inserting
bulls
eyes
in
the
deck
or
new
tree
nails
in
the
side
planks
and
other
miscellaneous
matters
more
directly
pertaining
to
his
special
business
he
was
moreover
unhesitatingly
expert
in
all
manner
of
conflicting
aptitudes
both
useful
and
capricious
the
one
grand
stage
where
he
enacted
all
his
various
parts
so
manifold
was
his
vice
bench
a
long
rude
ponderous
table
furnished
with
several
vices
of
different
sizes
and
both
of
iron
and
of
wood
at
all
times
except
when
whales
were
alongside
this
bench
was
securely
lashed
athwartships
against
the
rear
of
the
try
works
a
belaying
pin
is
found
too
large
to
be
easily
inserted
into
its
hole
the
carpenter
claps
it
into
one
of
his
ever
ready
vices
and
straightway
files
it
smaller
a
lost
land
bird
of
strange
plumage
strays
on
board
and
is
made
a
captive
out
of
clean
shaved
rods
of
right
whale
bone
and
cross
beams
of
sperm
whale
ivory
the
carpenter
makes
a
pagoda
looking
cage
for
it
an
oarsman
sprains
his
wrist
the
carpenter
concocts
a
soothing
lotion
stubb
longed
for
vermillion
stars
to
be
painted
upon
the
blade
of
his
every
oar
screwing
each
oar
in
his
big
vice
of
wood
the
carpenter
symmetrically
supplies
the
constellation
a
sailor
takes
a
fancy
to
wear
shark
bone
ear
rings
the
carpenter
drills
his
ears
another
has
the
toothache
the
carpenter
out
pincers
and
clapping
one
hand
upon
his
bench
bids
him
be
seated
there
but
the
poor
fellow
unmanageably
winces
under
the
unconcluded
operation
whirling
round
the
handle
of
his
wooden
vice
the
carpenter
signs
him
to
clap
his
jaw
in
that
if
he
would
have
him
draw
the
tooth
thus
this
carpenter
was
prepared
at
all
points
and
alike
indifferent
and
without
respect
in
all
teeth
he
accounted
bits
of
ivory
heads
he
deemed
but
top
blocks
men
themselves
he
lightly
held
for
capstans
but
while
now
upon
so
wide
a
field
thus
variously
accomplished
and
with
such
liveliness
of
expertness
in
him
too
all
this
would
seem
to
argue
some
uncommon
vivacity
of
intelligence
but
not
precisely
so
for
nothing
was
this
man
more
remarkable
than
for
a
certain
impersonal
stolidity
as
it
were
impersonal
i
say
for
it
so
shaded
off
into
the
surrounding
infinite
of
things
that
it
seemed
one
with
the
general
stolidity
discernible
in
the
whole
visible
world
which
while
pauselessly
active
in
uncounted
modes
still
eternally
holds
its
peace
and
ignores
you
though
you
dig
foundations
for
cathedrals
yet
was
this
half
horrible
stolidity
in
him
involving
too
as
it
appeared
an
all
ramifying
heartlessness
yet
was
it
oddly
dashed
at
times
with
an
old
crutch
like
antediluvian
wheezing
humorousness
not
unstreaked
now
and
then
with
a
certain
grizzled
wittiness
such
as
might
have
served
to
pass
the
time
during
the
midnight
watch
on
the
bearded
forecastle
of
noahs
ark
was
it
that
this
old
carpenter
had
been
a
life
long
wanderer
whose
much
rolling
to
and
fro
not
only
had
gathered
no
moss
but
what
is
more
had
rubbed
off
whatever
small
outward
clingings
might
have
originally
pertained
to
him
he
was
a
stript
abstract
an
unfractioned
integral
uncompromised
as
a
new
born
babe
living
without
premeditated
reference
to
this
world
or
the
next
you
might
almost
say
that
this
strange
uncompromisedness
in
him
involved
a
sort
of
unintelligence
for
in
his
numerous
trades
he
did
not
seem
to
work
so
much
by
reason
or
by
instinct
or
simply
because
he
had
been
tutored
to
it
or
by
any
intermixture
of
all
these
even
or
uneven
but
merely
by
a
kind
of
deaf
and
dumb
spontaneous
literal
process
he
was
a
pure
manipulator
his
brain
if
he
had
ever
had
one
must
have
early
oozed
along
into
the
muscles
of
his
fingers
he
was
like
one
of
those
unreasoning
but
still
highly
useful
multum
in
parvo
sheffield
contrivances
assuming
the
exterior
though
a
little
swelled
of
a
common
pocket
knife
but
containing
not
only
blades
of
various
sizes
but
also
screw
drivers
cork
screws
tweezers
awls
pens
rulers
nail
filers
counter
sinkers
so
if
his
superiors
wanted
to
use
the
carpenter
for
a
screw
driver
all
they
had
to
do
was
to
open
that
part
of
him
and
the
screw
was
fast
or
if
for
tweezers
take
him
up
by
the
legs
and
there
they
were
yet
as
previously
hinted
this
omnitooled
open
and
shut
carpenter
was
after
all
no
mere
machine
of
an
automaton
if
he
did
not
have
a
common
soul
in
him
he
had
a
subtle
something
that
somehow
anomalously
did
its
duty
what
that
was
whether
essence
of
quicksilver
or
a
few
drops
of
hartshorn
there
is
no
telling
but
there
it
was
and
there
it
had
abided
for
now
some
sixty
years
or
more
and
this
it
was
this
same
unaccountable
cunning
life
principle
in
him
this
it
was
that
kept
him
a
great
part
of
the
time
soliloquizing
but
only
like
an
unreasoning
wheel
which
also
hummingly
soliloquizes
or
rather
his
body
was
a
sentry
box
and
this
soliloquizer
on
guard
there
and
talking
all
the
time
to
keep
himself
awake
carpenter
standing
before
his
vice
bench
and
by
the
light
of
two
lanterns
busily
filing

in
the
vice
slabs
of
ivory
leather
straps
pads
screws
and
various
tools
of
all
sorts
lying
about
the
bench

the
red
flame
of
the
forge
is
seen
where
the
blacksmith
is
at
work
drat

shinbones
lets
try
another

mere
shinbone
why
its
easy
as
making
hop
poles
only
i
should
like
to
put
a
good
finish
on
time
time
if
i
but
only
had
the
time
i
could
turn
him
out
as
neat
a
leg
now
as
ever
sneezes
scraped
to
a
lady
in
a
parlor
those
buckskin
legs
and
calves
of
legs
ive
seen
in
shop
windows
wouldnt
compare
at
all
they
soak
water
they
do
and
of
course
get
rheumatic
and
have
to
be
doctored
sneezes
with
washes
and
lotions
just
like
live
legs
there
before
i
saw
it
off
now
i
must
call
his
old
mogulship
and
see
whether
the
length
will
be
all
right
too
short
if
anything
i
guess
ha
thats
the
heel
we
are
in
luck
here
he
comes
or
its
somebody
else
thats
certain
ahab
advancing
during
the
ensuing
scene
the
carpenter
continues
sneezing
at
times
well
manmaker
just
in
time
sir
if
the
captain
pleases
i
will
now
mark
the
length
let
me
measure
sir
measured
for
a
leg
good
well
its
not
the
first
time
about
it
there
keep
thy
finger
on
it
this
is
a
cogent
vice
thou
hast
here
carpenter
let
me
feel
its
grip
once
so
so
it
does
pinch
some
oh
sir
it
will
break
bones
beware
beware
no
fear
i
like
a
good
grip
i
like
to
feel
something
in
this
slippery
world
that
can
hold
man
whats
prometheus
about
there
the
blacksmith
i
mean
whats
he
about
he
must
be
forging
the
buckle
screw
sir
now
right
its
a
partnership
he
supplies
the
muscle
part
he
makes
a
fierce
red
flame
there
aye
sir
he
must
have
the
white
heat
for
this
kind
of
fine
work
um
m
so
he
must
i
do
deem
it
now
a
most
meaning
thing
that
that
old
greek
prometheus
who
made
men
they
say
should
have
been
a
blacksmith
and
animated
them
with
fire
for
whats
made
in
fire
must
properly
belong
to
fire
and
so
hells
probable
how
the
soot
flies
this
must
be
the
remainder
the
greek
made
the
africans
of
carpenter
when
hes
through
with
that
buckle
tell
him
to
forge
a
pair
of
steel
shoulder
blades
theres
a
pedlar
aboard
with
a
crushing
pack
sir
hold
while
prometheus
is
about
it
ill
order
a
complete
man
after
a
desirable
pattern
imprimis
fifty
feet
high
in
his
socks
then
chest
modelled
after
the
thames
tunnel
then
legs
with
roots
to
em
to
stay
in
one
place
then
arms
three
feet
through
the
wrist
no
heart
at
all
brass
forehead
and
about
a
quarter
of
an
acre
of
fine
brains
and
let
me
see
shall
i
order
eyes
to
see
outwards
no
but
put
a
sky
light
on
top
of
his
head
to
illuminate
inwards
there
take
the
order
and
away
now
whats
he
speaking
about
and
whos
he
speaking
to
i
should
like
to
know
shall
i
keep
standing
here
aside
tis
but
indifferent
architecture
to
make
a
blind
dome
heres
one
no
no
no
i
must
have
a
lantern
ho
ho
thats
it
hey
here
are
two
sir
one
will
serve
my
turn
what
art
thou
thrusting
that
thief
catcher
into
my
face
for
man
thrusted
light
is
worse
than
presented
pistols
i
thought
sir
that
you
spoke
to
carpenter
carpenter
why
thats
but
no
a
very
tidy
and
i
may
say
an
extremely
gentlemanlike
sort
of
business
thou
art
in
here
carpenter
or
wouldst
thou
rather
work
in
clay
sir
clay
clay
sir
thats
mud
we
leave
clay
to
ditchers
sir
the
fellows
impious
what
art
thou
sneezing
about
bone
is
rather
dusty
sir
take
the
hint
then
and
when
thou
art
dead
never
bury
thyself
under
living
peoples
noses
sir
oh
ah
i
guess
so
so
yes
yes
oh
dear
look
ye
carpenter
i
dare
say
thou
callest
thyself
a
right
good
workmanlike
workman
eh
well
then
will
it
speak
thoroughly
well
for
thy
work
if
when
i
come
to
mount
this
leg
thou
makest
i
shall
nevertheless
feel
another
leg
in
the
same
identical
place
with
it
that
is
carpenter
my
old
lost
leg
the
flesh
and
blood
one
i
mean
canst
thou
not
drive
that
old
adam
away
truly
sir
i
begin
to
understand
somewhat
now
yes
i
have
heard
something
curious
on
that
score
sir
how
that
a
dismasted
man
never
entirely
loses
the
feeling
of
his
old
spar
but
it
will
be
still
pricking
him
at
times
may
i
humbly
ask
if
it
be
really
so
sir
it
is
man
look
put
thy
live
leg
here
in
the
place
where
mine
once
was
so
now
here
is
only
one
distinct
leg
to
the
eye
yet
two
to
the
soul
where
thou
feelest
tingling
life
there
exactly
there
there
to
a
hair
do
i
ist
a
riddle
i
should
humbly
call
it
a
poser
sir
hist
then
how
dost
thou
know
that
some
entire
living
thinking
thing
may
not
be
invisibly
and
uninterpenetratingly
standing
precisely
where
thou
now
standest
aye
and
standing
there
in
thy
spite
in
thy
most
solitary
hours
then
dost
thou
not
fear
eavesdroppers
hold
dont
speak
and
if
i
still
feel
the
smart
of
my
crushed
leg
though
it
be
now
so
long
dissolved
then
why
mayest
not
thou
carpenter
feel
the
fiery
pains
of
hell
for
ever
and
without
a
body
hah
good
lord
truly
sir
if
it
comes
to
that
i
must
calculate
over
again
i
think
i
didnt
carry
a
small
figure
sir
look
ye
pudding
heads
should
never
grant
premises
how
long
before
this
leg
is
done
perhaps
an
hour
sir
bungle
away
at
it
then
and
bring
it
to
me
turns
to
go
oh
life
here
i
am
proud
as
greek
god
and
yet
standing
debtor
to
this
blockhead
for
a
bone
to
stand
on
cursed
be
that
mortal
inter
indebtedness
which
will
not
do
away
with
ledgers
i
would
be
free
as
air
and
im
down
in
the
whole
worlds
books
i
am
so
rich
i
could
have
given
bid
for
bid
with
the
wealthiest
praetorians
at
the
auction
of
the
roman
empire
which
was
the
worlds
and
yet
i
owe
for
the
flesh
in
the
tongue
i
brag
with
by
heavens
ill
get
a
crucible
and
into
it
and
dissolve
myself
down
to
one
small
compendious
vertebra
so
carpenter
resuming
his
work
well
well
well
stubb
knows
him
best
of
all
and
stubb
always
says
hes
queer
says
nothing
but
that
one
sufficient
little
word
queer
hes
queer
says
stubb
hes
queer
queer
queer
and
keeps
dinning
it
into
mr
starbuck
all
the
time
queer
sir
queer
queer
very
queer
and
heres
his
leg
yes
now
that
i
think
of
it
heres
his
bedfellow
has
a
stick
of
whales
jaw
bone
for
a
wife
and
this
is
his
leg
hell
stand
on
this
what
was
that
now
about
one
leg
standing
in
three
places
and
all
three
places
standing
in
one
hell
how
was
that
oh
i
dont
wonder
he
looked
so
scornful
at
me
im
a
sort
of
strange
thoughted
sometimes
they
say
but
thats
only
haphazard
like
then
a
short
little
old
body
like
me
should
never
undertake
to
wade
out
into
deep
waters
with
tall
heron
built
captains
the
water
chucks
you
under
the
chin
pretty
quick
and
theres
a
great
cry
for
life
boats
and
heres
the
herons
leg
long
and
slim
sure
enough
now
for
most
folks
one
pair
of
legs
lasts
a
lifetime
and
that
must
be
because
they
use
them
mercifully
as
a
tender
hearted
old
lady
uses
her
roly
poly
old
coach
horses
but
ahab
oh
hes
a
hard
driver
look
driven
one
leg
to
death
and
spavined
the
other
for
life
and
now
wears
out
bone
legs
by
the
cord
halloa
there
you
smut
bear
a
hand
there
with
those
screws
and
lets
finish
it
before
the
resurrection
fellow
comes
a
calling
with
his
horn
for
all
legs
true
or
false
as
brewery
men
go
round
collecting
old
beer
barrels
to
fill
em
up
again
what
a
leg
this
is
it
looks
like
a
real
live
leg
filed
down
to
nothing
but
the
core
hell
be
standing
on
this
to
morrow
hell
be
taking
altitudes
on
it
halloa
i
almost
forgot
the
little
oval
slate
smoothed
ivory
where
he
figures
up
the
latitude
so
so
chisel
file
and
sand
paper
now
according
to
usage
they
were
pumping
the
ship
next
morning
and
lo
no
inconsiderable
oil
came
up
with
the
water
the
casks
below
must
have
sprung
a
bad
leak
much
concern
was
shown
and
starbuck
went
down
into
the
cabin
to
report
this
unfavorable
affair
now
from
the
south
and
west
the
pequod
was
drawing
nigh
to
formosa
and
the
bashee
isles
between
which
lies
one
of
the
tropical
outlets
from
the
china
waters
into
the
pacific
and
so
starbuck
found
ahab
with
a
general
chart
of
the
oriental
archipelagoes
spread
before
him
and
another
separate
one
representing
the
long
eastern
coasts
of
the
japanese
islands
niphon
matsmai
and
sikoke
with
his
snow
white
new
ivory
leg
braced
against
the
screwed
leg
of
his
table
and
with
a
long
pruning
hook
of
a
jack
knife
in
his
hand
the
wondrous
old
man
with
his
back
to
the
gangway
door
was
wrinkling
his
brow
and
tracing
his
old
courses
again
whos
there
hearing
the
footstep
at
the
door
but
not
turning
round
to
it
on
deck
begone
captain
ahab
mistakes
it
is
i
the
oil
in
the
hold
is
leaking
sir
we
must
up
burtons
and
break
out
up
burtons
and
break
out
now
that
we
are
nearing
japan
heave
to
here
for
a
week
to
tinker
a
parcel
of
old
hoops
either
do
that
sir
or
waste
in
one
day
more
oil
than
we
may
make
good
in
a
year
what
we
come
twenty
thousand
miles
to
get
is
worth
saving
sir
so
it
is
so
it
is
if
we
get
it
i
was
speaking
of
the
oil
in
the
hold
sir
and
i
was
not
speaking
or
thinking
of
that
at
all
begone
let
it
leak
im
all
aleak
myself
aye
leaks
in
leaks
not
only
full
of
leaky
casks
but
those
leaky
casks
are
in
a
leaky
ship
and
thats
a
far
worse
plight
than
the
pequods
man
yet
i
dont
stop
to
plug
my
leak
for
who
can
find
it
in
the
deep
loaded
hull
or
how
hope
to
plug
it
even
if
found
in
this
lifes
howling
gale
starbuck
ill
not
have
the
burtons
hoisted
what
will
the
owners
say
sir
let
the
owners
stand
on
nantucket
beach
and
outyell
the
typhoons
what
cares
ahab
owners
owners
thou
art
always
prating
to
me
starbuck
about
those
miserly
owners
as
if
the
owners
were
my
conscience
but
look
ye
the
only
real
owner
of
anything
is
its
commander
and
hark
ye
my
conscience
is
in
this
ships
keel
on
deck
captain
ahab
said
the
reddening
mate
moving
further
into
the
cabin
with
a
daring
so
strangely
respectful
and
cautious
that
it
almost
seemed
not
only
every
way
seeking
to
avoid
the
slightest
outward
manifestation
of
itself
but
within
also
seemed
more
than
half
distrustful
of
itself
a
better
man
than
i
might
well
pass
over
in
thee
what
he
would
quickly
enough
resent
in
a
younger
man
aye
and
in
a
happier
captain
ahab
devils
dost
thou
then
so
much
as
dare
to
critically
think
of
me
on
deck
nay
sir
not
yet
i
do
entreat
and
i
do
dare
sir
to
be
forbearing
shall
we
not
understand
each
other
better
than
hitherto
captain
ahab
ahab
seized
a
loaded
musket
from
the
rack
forming
part
of
most
south
sea
mens
cabin
furniture
and
pointing
it
towards
starbuck
exclaimed
there
is
one
god
that
is
lord
over
the
earth
and
one
captain
that
is
lord
over
the
pequod
on
deck
for
an
instant
in
the
flashing
eyes
of
the
mate
and
his
fiery
cheeks
you
would
have
almost
thought
that
he
had
really
received
the
blaze
of
the
levelled
tube
but
mastering
his
emotion
he
half
calmly
rose
and
as
he
quitted
the
cabin
paused
for
an
instant
and
said
thou
hast
outraged
not
insulted
me
sir
but
for
that
i
ask
thee
not
to
beware
of
starbuck
thou
wouldst
but
laugh
but
let
ahab
beware
of
ahab
beware
of
thyself
old
man
he
waxes
brave
but
nevertheless
obeys
most
careful
bravery
that
murmured
ahab
as
starbuck
disappeared
whats
that
he
said
ahab
beware
of
ahab
theres
something
there
then
unconsciously
using
the
musket
for
a
staff
with
an
iron
brow
he
paced
to
and
fro
in
the
little
cabin
but
presently
the
thick
plaits
of
his
forehead
relaxed
and
returning
the
gun
to
the
rack
he
went
to
the
deck
thou
art
but
too
good
a
fellow
starbuck
he
said
lowly
to
the
mate
then
raising
his
voice
to
the
crew
furl
the
tgallant
sails
and
close
reef
the
top
sails
fore
and
aft
back
the
main
yard
up
burtons
and
break
out
in
the
main
hold
it
were
perhaps
vain
to
surmise
exactly
why
it
was
that
as
respecting
starbuck
ahab
thus
acted
it
may
have
been
a
flash
of
honesty
in
him
or
mere
prudential
policy
which
under
the
circumstance
imperiously
forbade
the
slightest
symptom
of
open
disaffection
however
transient
in
the
important
chief
officer
of
his
ship
however
it
was
his
orders
were
executed
and
the
burtons
were
hoisted
in
sperm
whalemen
with
any
considerable
quantity
of
oil
on
board
it
is
a
regular
semi
weekly
duty
to
conduct
a
hose
into
the
hold
and
drench
the
casks
with
sea
water
which
afterwards
at
varying
intervals
is
removed
by
the
ships
pumps
hereby
the
casks
are
sought
to
be
kept
damply
tight
while
by
the
changed
character
of
the
withdrawn
water
the
mariners
readily
detect
any
serious
leakage
in
the
precious
cargo
upon
searching
it
was
found
that
the
casks
last
struck
into
the
hold
were
perfectly
sound
and
that
the
leak
must
be
further
off
so
it
being
calm
weather
they
broke
out
deeper
and
deeper
disturbing
the
slumbers
of
the
huge
ground
tier
butts
and
from
that
black
midnight
sending
those
gigantic
moles
into
the
daylight
above
so
deep
did
they
go
and
so
ancient
and
corroded
and
weedy
the
aspect
of
the
lowermost
puncheons
that
you
almost
looked
next
for
some
mouldy
corner
stone
cask
containing
coins
of
captain
noah
with
copies
of
the
posted
placards
vainly
warning
the
infatuated
old
world
from
the
flood
tierce
after
tierce
too
of
water
and
bread
and
beef
and
shooks
of
staves
and
iron
bundles
of
hoops
were
hoisted
out
till
at
last
the
piled
decks
were
hard
to
get
about
and
the
hollow
hull
echoed
under
foot
as
if
you
were
treading
over
empty
catacombs
and
reeled
and
rolled
in
the
sea
like
an
air
freighted
demijohn
top
heavy
was
the
ship
as
a
dinnerless
student
with
all
aristotle
in
his
head
well
was
it
that
the
typhoons
did
not
visit
them
then
now
at
this
time
it
was
that
my
poor
pagan
companion
and
fast
bosom
friend
queequeg
was
seized
with
a
fever
which
brought
him
nigh
to
his
endless
end
be
it
said
that
in
this
vocation
of
whaling
sinecures
are
unknown
dignity
and
danger
go
hand
in
hand
till
you
get
to
be
captain
the
higher
you
rise
the
harder
you
toil
so
with
poor
queequeg
who
as
harpooneer
must
not
only
face
all
the
rage
of
the
living
whale
but
as
we
have
elsewhere
seen
mount
his
dead
back
in
a
rolling
sea
and
finally
descend
into
the
gloom
of
the
hold
and
bitterly
sweating
all
day
in
that
subterraneous
confinement
resolutely
manhandle
the
clumsiest
casks
and
see
to
their
stowage
to
be
short
among
whalemen
the
harpooneers
are
the
holders
so
called
poor
queequeg
when
the
ship
was
about
half
disembowelled
you
should
have
stooped
over
the
hatchway
and
peered
down
upon
him
there
where
stripped
to
his
woollen
drawers
the
tattooed
savage
was
crawling
about
amid
that
dampness
and
slime
like
a
green
spotted
lizard
at
the
bottom
of
a
well
and
a
well
or
an
ice
house
it
somehow
proved
to
him
poor
pagan
where
strange
to
say
for
all
the
heat
of
his
sweatings
he
caught
a
terrible
chill
which
lapsed
into
a
fever
and
at
last
after
some
days
suffering
laid
him
in
his
hammock
close
to
the
very
sill
of
the
door
of
death
how
he
wasted
and
wasted
away
in
those
few
long
lingering
days
till
there
seemed
but
little
left
of
him
but
his
frame
and
tattooing
but
as
all
else
in
him
thinned
and
his
cheek
bones
grew
sharper
his
eyes
nevertheless
seemed
growing
fuller
and
fuller
they
became
of
a
strange
softness
of
lustre
and
mildly
but
deeply
looked
out
at
you
there
from
his
sickness
a
wondrous
testimony
to
that
immortal
health
in
him
which
could
not
die
or
be
weakened
and
like
circles
on
the
water
which
as
they
grow
fainter
expand
so
his
eyes
seemed
rounding
and
rounding
like
the
rings
of
eternity
an
awe
that
cannot
be
named
would
steal
over
you
as
you
sat
by
the
side
of
this
waning
savage
and
saw
as
strange
things
in
his
face
as
any
beheld
who
were
bystanders
when
zoroaster
died
for
whatever
is
truly
wondrous
and
fearful
in
man
never
yet
was
put
into
words
or
books
and
the
drawing
near
of
death
which
alike
levels
all
alike
impresses
all
with
a
last
revelation
which
only
an
author
from
the
dead
could
adequately
tell
so
that
let
us
say
it
again
no
dying
chaldee
or
greek
had
higher
and
holier
thoughts
than
those
whose
mysterious
shades
you
saw
creeping
over
the
face
of
poor
queequeg
as
he
quietly
lay
in
his
swaying
hammock
and
the
rolling
sea
seemed
gently
rocking
him
to
his
final
rest
and
the
oceans
invisible
flood
tide
lifted
him
higher
and
higher
towards
his
destined
heaven
not
a
man
of
the
crew
but
gave
him
up
and
as
for
queequeg
himself
what
he
thought
of
his
case
was
forcibly
shown
by
a
curious
favor
he
asked
he
called
one
to
him
in
the
grey
morning
watch
when
the
day
was
just
breaking
and
taking
his
hand
said
that
while
in
nantucket
he
had
chanced
to
see
certain
little
canoes
of
dark
wood
like
the
rich
war
wood
of
his
native
isle
and
upon
inquiry
he
had
learned
that
all
whalemen
who
died
in
nantucket
were
laid
in
those
same
dark
canoes
and
that
the
fancy
of
being
so
laid
had
much
pleased
him
for
it
was
not
unlike
the
custom
of
his
own
race
who
after
embalming
a
dead
warrior
stretched
him
out
in
his
canoe
and
so
left
him
to
be
floated
away
to
the
starry
archipelagoes
for
not
only
do
they
believe
that
the
stars
are
isles
but
that
far
beyond
all
visible
horizons
their
own
mild
uncontinented
seas
interflow
with
the
blue
heavens
and
so
form
the
white
breakers
of
the
milky
way
he
added
that
he
shuddered
at
the
thought
of
being
buried
in
his
hammock
according
to
the
usual
sea
custom
tossed
like
something
vile
to
the
death
devouring
sharks
no
he
desired
a
canoe
like
those
of
nantucket
all
the
more
congenial
to
him
being
a
whaleman
that
like
a
whale
boat
these
coffin
canoes
were
without
a
keel
though
that
involved
but
uncertain
steering
and
much
lee
way
adown
the
dim
ages
now
when
this
strange
circumstance
was
made
known
aft
the
carpenter
was
at
once
commanded
to
do
queequegs
bidding
whatever
it
might
include
there
was
some
heathenish
coffin
colored
old
lumber
aboard
which
upon
a
long
previous
voyage
had
been
cut
from
the
aboriginal
groves
of
the
lackaday
islands
and
from
these
dark
planks
the
coffin
was
recommended
to
be
made
no
sooner
was
the
carpenter
apprised
of
the
order
than
taking
his
rule
he
forthwith
with
all
the
indifferent
promptitude
of
his
character
proceeded
into
the
forecastle
and
took
queequegs
measure
with
great
accuracy
regularly
chalking
queequegs
person
as
he
shifted
the
rule
ah
poor
fellow
hell
have
to
die
now
ejaculated
the
long
island
sailor
going
to
his
vice
bench
the
carpenter
for
convenience
sake
and
general
reference
now
transferringly
measured
on
it
the
exact
length
the
coffin
was
to
be
and
then
made
the
transfer
permanent
by
cutting
two
notches
at
its
extremities
this
done
he
marshalled
the
planks
and
his
tools
and
to
work
when
the
last
nail
was
driven
and
the
lid
duly
planed
and
fitted
he
lightly
shouldered
the
coffin
and
went
forward
with
it
inquiring
whether
they
were
ready
for
it
yet
in
that
direction
overhearing
the
indignant
but
half
humorous
cries
with
which
the
people
on
deck
began
to
drive
the
coffin
away
queequeg
to
every
ones
consternation
commanded
that
the
thing
should
be
instantly
brought
to
him
nor
was
there
any
denying
him
seeing
that
of
all
mortals
some
dying
men
are
the
most
tyrannical
and
certainly
since
they
will
shortly
trouble
us
so
little
for
evermore
the
poor
fellows
ought
to
be
indulged
leaning
over
in
his
hammock
queequeg
long
regarded
the
coffin
with
an
attentive
eye
he
then
called
for
his
harpoon
had
the
wooden
stock
drawn
from
it
and
then
had
the
iron
part
placed
in
the
coffin
along
with
one
of
the
paddles
of
his
boat
all
by
his
own
request
also
biscuits
were
then
ranged
round
the
sides
within
a
flask
of
fresh
water
was
placed
at
the
head
and
a
small
bag
of
woody
earth
scraped
up
in
the
hold
at
the
foot
and
a
piece
of
sail
cloth
being
rolled
up
for
a
pillow
queequeg
now
entreated
to
be
lifted
into
his
final
bed
that
he
might
make
trial
of
its
comforts
if
any
it
had
he
lay
without
moving
a
few
minutes
then
told
one
to
go
to
his
bag
and
bring
out
his
little
god
yojo
then
crossing
his
arms
on
his
breast
with
yojo
between
he
called
for
the
coffin
lid
hatch
he
called
it
to
be
placed
over
him
the
head
part
turned
over
with
a
leather
hinge
and
there
lay
queequeg
in
his
coffin
with
little
but
his
composed
countenance
in
view
rarmai
it
will
do
it
is
easy
he
murmured
at
last
and
signed
to
be
replaced
in
his
hammock
but
ere
this
was
done
pip
who
had
been
slily
hovering
near
by
all
this
while
drew
nigh
to
him
where
he
lay
and
with
soft
sobbings
took
him
by
the
hand
in
the
other
holding
his
tambourine
poor
rover
will
ye
never
have
done
with
all
this
weary
roving
where
go
ye
now
but
if
the
currents
carry
ye
to
those
sweet
antilles
where
the
beaches
are
only
beat
with
water
lilies
will
ye
do
one
little
errand
for
me
seek
out
one
pip
whos
now
been
missing
long
i
think
hes
in
those
far
antilles
if
ye
find
him
then
comfort
him
for
he
must
be
very
sad
for
look
hes
left
his
tambourine
behind
i
found
it
rig
a
dig
dig
dig
now
queequeg
die
and
ill
beat
ye
your
dying
march
i
have
heard
murmured
starbuck
gazing
down
the
scuttle
that
in
violent
fevers
men
all
ignorance
have
talked
in
ancient
tongues
and
that
when
the
mystery
is
probed
it
turns
out
always
that
in
their
wholly
forgotten
childhood
those
ancient
tongues
had
been
really
spoken
in
their
hearing
by
some
lofty
scholars
so
to
my
fond
faith
poor
pip
in
this
strange
sweetness
of
his
lunacy
brings
heavenly
vouchers
of
all
our
heavenly
homes
where
learned
he
that
but
there
hark
he
speaks
again
but
more
wildly
now
form
two
and
two
lets
make
a
general
of
him
ho
wheres
his
harpoon
lay
it
across
here
rig
a
dig
dig
dig
huzza
oh
for
a
game
cock
now

sit
upon
his

and
crow
queequeg

id
never

and
hail

were
once
more

here
no
no

upon
all
cowards
shame
upon
them
let
em
go
drown
like
pip
that
jumped
from
a
whale
boat
shame
shame
during
all
this
queequeg
lay
with
closed
eyes
as
if
in
a
dream
pip
was
led
away
and
the
sick
man
was
replaced
in
his
hammock
but
now
that
he
had
apparently
made
every
preparation
for
death
now
that
his
coffin
was
proved
a
good
fit
queequeg
suddenly
rallied
soon
there
seemed
no
need
of
the
carpenters
box
and
thereupon
when
some
expressed
their
delighted
surprise
he
in
substance
said
that
the
cause
of
his
sudden
convalescence
was
this
at
a
critical
moment
he
had
just
recalled
a
little
duty
ashore
which
he
was
leaving
undone
and
therefore
had
changed
his
mind
about
dying
he
could
not
die
yet
he
averred
they
asked
him
then
whether
to
live
or
die
was
a
matter
of
his
own
sovereign
will
and
pleasure
he
answered
certainly
in
a
word
it
was
queequegs
conceit
that
if
a
man
made
up
his
mind
to
live
mere
sickness
could
not
kill
him
nothing
but
a
whale
or
a
gale
or
some
violent
ungovernable
unintelligent
destroyer
of
that
sort
now
there
is
this
noteworthy
difference
between
savage
and
civilized
that
while
a
sick
civilized
man
may
be
six
months
convalescing
generally
speaking
a
sick
savage
is
almost
half
well
again
in
a
day
so
in
good
time
my
queequeg
gained
strength
and
at
length
after
sitting
on
the
windlass
for
a
few
indolent
days
but
eating
with
a
vigorous
appetite
he
suddenly
leaped
to
his
feet
threw
out
arms
and
legs
gave
himself
a
good
stretching
yawned
a
little
bit
and
then
springing
into
the
head
of
his
hoisted
boat
and
poising
a
harpoon
pronounced
himself
fit
for
a
fight
with
a
wild
whimsiness
he
now
used
his
coffin
for
a
sea
chest
and
emptying
into
it
his
canvas
bag
of
clothes
set
them
in
order
there
many
spare
hours
he
spent
in
carving
the
lid
with
all
manner
of
grotesque
figures
and
drawings
and
it
seemed
that
hereby
he
was
striving
in
his
rude
way
to
copy
parts
of
the
twisted
tattooing
on
his
body
and
this
tattooing
had
been
the
work
of
a
departed
prophet
and
seer
of
his
island
who
by
those
hieroglyphic
marks
had
written
out
on
his
body
a
complete
theory
of
the
heavens
and
the
earth
and
a
mystical
treatise
on
the
art
of
attaining
truth
so
that
queequeg
in
his
own
proper
person
was
a
riddle
to
unfold
a
wondrous
work
in
one
volume
but
whose
mysteries
not
even
himself
could
read
though
his
own
live
heart
beat
against
them
and
these
mysteries
were
therefore
destined
in
the
end
to
moulder
away
with
the
living
parchment
whereon
they
were
inscribed
and
so
be
unsolved
to
the
last
and
this
thought
it
must
have
been
which
suggested
to
ahab
that
wild
exclamation
of
his
when
one
morning
turning
away
from
surveying
poor
queequeg
oh
devilish
tantalization
of
the
gods
when
gliding
by
the
bashee
isles
we
emerged
at
last
upon
the
great
south
sea
were
it
not
for
other
things
i
could
have
greeted
my
dear
pacific
with
uncounted
thanks
for
now
the
long
supplication
of
my
youth
was
answered
that
serene
ocean
rolled
eastwards
from
me
a
thousand
leagues
of
blue
there
is
one
knows
not
what
sweet
mystery
about
this
sea
whose
gently
awful
stirrings
seem
to
speak
of
some
hidden
soul
beneath
like
those
fabled
undulations
of
the
ephesian
sod
over
the
buried
evangelist
st
john
and
meet
it
is
that
over
these
sea
pastures
wide
rolling
watery
prairies
and
potters
fields
of
all
four
continents
the
waves
should
rise
and
fall
and
ebb
and
flow
unceasingly
for
here
millions
of
mixed
shades
and
shadows
drowned
dreams
somnambulisms
reveries
all
that
we
call
lives
and
souls
lie
dreaming
dreaming
still
tossing
like
slumberers
in
their
beds
the
ever
rolling
waves
but
made
so
by
their
restlessness
to
any
meditative
magian
rover
this
serene
pacific
once
beheld
must
ever
after
be
the
sea
of
his
adoption
it
rolls
the
midmost
waters
of
the
world
the
indian
ocean
and
atlantic
being
but
its
arms
the
same
waves
wash
the
moles
of
the
new
built
californian
towns
but
yesterday
planted
by
the
recentest
race
of
men
and
lave
the
faded
but
still
gorgeous
skirts
of
asiatic
lands
older
than
abraham
while
all
between
float
milky
ways
of
coral
isles
and
low
lying
endless
unknown
archipelagoes
and
impenetrable
japans
thus
this
mysterious
divine
pacific
zones
the
worlds
whole
bulk
about
makes
all
coasts
one
bay
to
it
seems
the
tide
beating
heart
of
earth
lifted
by
those
eternal
swells
you
needs
must
own
the
seductive
god
bowing
your
head
to
pan
but
few
thoughts
of
pan
stirred
ahabs
brain
as
standing
like
an
iron
statue
at
his
accustomed
place
beside
the
mizen
rigging
with
one
nostril
he
unthinkingly
snuffed
the
sugary
musk
from
the
bashee
isles
in
whose
sweet
woods
mild
lovers
must
be
walking
and
with
the
other
consciously
inhaled
the
salt
breath
of
the
new
found
sea
that
sea
in
which
the
hated
white
whale
must
even
then
be
swimming
launched
at
length
upon
these
almost
final
waters
and
gliding
towards
the
japanese
cruising
ground
the
old
mans
purpose
intensified
itself
his
firm
lips
met
like
the
lips
of
a
vice
the
delta
of
his
foreheads
veins
swelled
like
overladen
brooks
in
his
very
sleep
his
ringing
cry
ran
through
the
vaulted
hull
stern
all
the
white
whale
spouts
thick
blood
the
blacksmith
availing
himself
of
the
mild
summer
cool
weather
that
now
reigned
in
these
latitudes
and
in
preparation
for
the
peculiarly
active
pursuits
shortly
to
be
anticipated
perth
the
begrimed
blistered
old
blacksmith
had
not
removed
his
portable
forge
to
the
hold
again
after
concluding
his
contributory
work
for
ahabs
leg
but
still
retained
it
on
deck
fast
lashed
to
ringbolts
by
the
foremast
being
now
almost
incessantly
invoked
by
the
headsmen
and
harpooneers
and
bowsmen
to
do
some
little
job
for
them
altering
or
repairing
or
new
shaping
their
various
weapons
and
boat
furniture
often
he
would
be
surrounded
by
an
eager
circle
all
waiting
to
be
served
holding
boat
spades
pike
heads
harpoons
and
lances
and
jealously
watching
his
every
sooty
movement
as
he
toiled
nevertheless
this
old
mans
was
a
patient
hammer
wielded
by
a
patient
arm
no
murmur
no
impatience
no
petulence
did
come
from
him
silent
slow
and
solemn
bowing
over
still
further
his
chronically
broken
back
he
toiled
away
as
if
toil
were
life
itself
and
the
heavy
beating
of
his
hammer
the
heavy
beating
of
his
heart
and
so
it
was
most
miserable
a
peculiar
walk
in
this
old
man
a
certain
slight
but
painful
appearing
yawing
in
his
gait
had
at
an
early
period
of
the
voyage
excited
the
curiosity
of
the
mariners
and
to
the
importunity
of
their
persisted
questionings
he
had
finally
given
in
and
so
it
came
to
pass
that
every
one
now
knew
the
shameful
story
of
his
wretched
fate
belated
and
not
innocently
one
bitter
winters
midnight
on
the
road
running
between
two
country
towns
the
blacksmith
half
stupidly
felt
the
deadly
numbness
stealing
over
him
and
sought
refuge
in
a
leaning
dilapidated
barn
the
issue
was
the
loss
of
the
extremities
of
both
feet
out
of
this
revelation
part
by
part
at
last
came
out
the
four
acts
of
the
gladness
and
the
one
long
and
as
yet
uncatastrophied
fifth
act
of
the
grief
of
his
lifes
drama
he
was
an
old
man
who
at
the
age
of
nearly
sixty
had
postponedly
encountered
that
thing
in
sorrows
technicals
called
ruin
he
had
been
an
artisan
of
famed
excellence
and
with
plenty
to
do
owned
a
house
and
garden
embraced
a
youthful
daughter
like
loving
wife
and
three
blithe
ruddy
children
every
sunday
went
to
a
cheerful
looking
church
planted
in
a
grove
but
one
night
under
cover
of
darkness
and
further
concealed
in
a
most
cunning
disguisement
a
desperate
burglar
slid
into
his
happy
home
and
robbed
them
all
of
everything
and
darker
yet
to
tell
the
blacksmith
himself
did
ignorantly
conduct
this
burglar
into
his
familys
heart
it
was
the
bottle
conjuror
upon
the
opening
of
that
fatal
cork
forth
flew
the
fiend
and
shrivelled
up
his
home
now
for
prudent
most
wise
and
economic
reasons
the
blacksmiths
shop
was
in
the
basement
of
his
dwelling
but
with
a
separate
entrance
to
it
so
that
always
had
the
young
and
loving
healthy
wife
listened
with
no
unhappy
nervousness
but
with
vigorous
pleasure
to
the
stout
ringing
of
her
young
armed
old
husbands
hammer
whose
reverberations
muffled
by
passing
through
the
floors
and
walls
came
up
to
her
not
unsweetly
in
her
nursery
and
so
to
stout
labors
iron
lullaby
the
blacksmiths
infants
were
rocked
to
slumber
oh
woe
on
woe
oh
death
why
canst
thou
not
sometimes
be
timely
hadst
thou
taken
this
old
blacksmith
to
thyself
ere
his
full
ruin
came
upon
him
then
had
the
young
widow
had
a
delicious
grief
and
her
orphans
a
truly
venerable
legendary
sire
to
dream
of
in
their
after
years
and
all
of
them
a
care
killing
competency
but
death
plucked
down
some
virtuous
elder
brother
on
whose
whistling
daily
toil
solely
hung
the
responsibilities
of
some
other
family
and
left
the
worse
than
useless
old
man
standing
till
the
hideous
rot
of
life
should
make
him
easier
to
harvest
why
tell
the
whole
the
blows
of
the
basement
hammer
every
day
grew
more
and
more
between
and
each
blow
every
day
grew
fainter
than
the
last
the
wife
sat
frozen
at
the
window
with
tearless
eyes
glitteringly
gazing
into
the
weeping
faces
of
her
children
the
bellows
fell
the
forge
choked
up
with
cinders
the
house
was
sold
the
mother
dived
down
into
the
long
church
yard
grass
her
children
twice
followed
her
thither
and
the
houseless
familyless
old
man
staggered
off
a
vagabond
in
crape
his
every
woe
unreverenced
his
grey
head
a
scorn
to
flaxen
curls
death
seems
the
only
desirable
sequel
for
a
career
like
this
but
death
is
only
a
launching
into
the
region
of
the
strange
untried
it
is
but
the
first
salutation
to
the
possibilities
of
the
immense
remote
the
wild
the
watery
the
unshored
therefore
to
the
death
longing
eyes
of
such
men
who
still
have
left
in
them
some
interior
compunctions
against
suicide
does
the
all
contributed
and
all
receptive
ocean
alluringly
spread
forth
his
whole
plain
of
unimaginable
taking
terrors
and
wonderful
new
life
adventures
and
from
the
hearts
of
infinite
pacifics
the
thousand
mermaids
sing
to
them
come
hither
broken
hearted
here
is
another
life
without
the
guilt
of
intermediate
death
here
are
wonders
supernatural
without
dying
for
them
come
hither
bury
thyself
in
a
life
which
to
your
now
equally
abhorred
and
abhorring
landed
world
is
more
oblivious
than
death
come
hither
put
up
thy
grave
stone
too
within
the
churchyard
and
come
hither
till
we
marry
thee
hearkening
to
these
voices
east
and
west
by
early
sun
rise
and
by
fall
of
eve
the
blacksmiths
soul
responded
aye
i
come
and
so
perth
went
a
whaling
with
matted
beard
and
swathed
in
a
bristling
shark
skin
apron
about
mid
day
perth
was
standing
between
his
forge
and
anvil
the
latter
placed
upon
an
iron
wood
log
with
one
hand
holding
a
pike
head
in
the
coals
and
with
the
other
at
his
forges
lungs
when
captain
ahab
came
along
carrying
in
his
hand
a
small
rusty
looking
leathern
bag
while
yet
a
little
distance
from
the
forge
moody
ahab
paused
till
at
last
perth
withdrawing
his
iron
from
the
fire
began
hammering
it
upon
the
anvil
the
red
mass
sending
off
the
sparks
in
thick
hovering
flights
some
of
which
flew
close
to
ahab
are
these
thy
mother
careys
chickens
perth
they
are
always
flying
in
thy
wake
birds
of
good
omen
too
but
not
to
all
look
here
they
burn
but
thou
thou
livst
among
them
without
a
scorch
because
i
am
scorched
all
over
captain
ahab
answered
perth
resting
for
a
moment
on
his
hammer
i
am
past
scorching
not
easily
canst
thou
scorch
a
scar
well
well
no
more
thy
shrunk
voice
sounds
too
calmly
sanely
woful
to
me
in
no
paradise
myself
i
am
impatient
of
all
misery
in
others
that
is
not
mad
thou
shouldst
go
mad
blacksmith
say
why
dost
thou
not
go
mad
how
canst
thou
endure
without
being
mad
do
the
heavens
yet
hate
thee
that
thou
canst
not
go
mad
what
wert
thou
making
there
welding
an
old
pike
head
sir
there
were
seams
and
dents
in
it
and
canst
thou
make
it
all
smooth
again
blacksmith
after
such
hard
usage
as
it
had
i
think
so
sir
and
i
suppose
thou
canst
smoothe
almost
any
seams
and
dents
never
mind
how
hard
the
metal
blacksmith
aye
sir
i
think
i
can
all
seams
and
dents
but
one
look
ye
here
then
cried
ahab
passionately
advancing
and
leaning
with
both
hands
on
perths
shoulders
look
ye
here
here
can
ye
smoothe
out
a
seam
like
this
blacksmith
sweeping
one
hand
across
his
ribbed
browif
thou
couldst
blacksmith
glad
enough
would
i
lay
my
head
upon
thy
anvil
and
feel
thy
heaviest
hammer
between
my
eyes
answer
canst
thou
smoothe
this
seam
oh
that
is
the
one
sir
said
i
not
all
seams
and
dents
but
one
aye
blacksmith
it
is
the
one
aye
man
it
is
unsmoothable
for
though
thou
only
seest
it
here
in
my
flesh
it
has
worked
down
into
the
bone
of
my
skull
that
is
all
wrinkles
but
away
with
childs
play
no
more
gaffs
and
pikes
to
day
look
ye
here
jingling
the
leathern
bag
as
if
it
were
full
of
gold
coins
i
too
want
a
harpoon
made
one
that
a
thousand
yoke
of
fiends
could
not
part
perth
something
that
will
stick
in
a
whale
like
his
own
fin
bone
theres
the
stuff
flinging
the
pouch
upon
the
anvil
look
ye
blacksmith
these
are
the
gathered
nail
stubbs
of
the
steel
shoes
of
racing
horses
horse
shoe
stubbs
sir
why
captain
ahab
thou
hast
here
then
the
best
and
stubbornest
stuff
we
blacksmiths
ever
work
i
know
it
old
man
these
stubbs
will
weld
together
like
glue
from
the
melted
bones
of
murderers
quick
forge
me
the
harpoon
and
forge
me
first
twelve
rods
for
its
shank
then
wind
and
twist
and
hammer
these
twelve
together
like
the
yarns
and
strands
of
a
tow
line
quick
ill
blow
the
fire
when
at
last
the
twelve
rods
were
made
ahab
tried
them
one
by
one
by
spiralling
them
with
his
own
hand
round
a
long
heavy
iron
bolt
a
flaw
rejecting
the
last
one
work
that
over
again
perth
this
done
perth
was
about
to
begin
welding
the
twelve
into
one
when
ahab
stayed
his
hand
and
said
he
would
weld
his
own
iron
as
then
with
regular
gasping
hems
he
hammered
on
the
anvil
perth
passing
to
him
the
glowing
rods
one
after
the
other
and
the
hard
pressed
forge
shooting
up
its
intense
straight
flame
the
parsee
passed
silently
and
bowing
over
his
head
towards
the
fire
seemed
invoking
some
curse
or
some
blessing
on
the
toil
but
as
ahab
looked
up
he
slid
aside
whats
that
bunch
of
lucifers
dodging
about
there
for
muttered
stubb
looking
on
from
the
forecastle
that
parsee
smells
fire
like
a
fusee
and
smells
of
it
himself
like
a
hot
muskets
powder
pan
at
last
the
shank
in
one
complete
rod
received
its
final
heat
and
as
perth
to
temper
it
plunged
it
all
hissing
into
the
cask
of
water
near
by
the
scalding
steam
shot
up
into
ahabs
bent
face
wouldst
thou
brand
me
perth
wincing
for
a
moment
with
the
pain
have
i
been
but
forging
my
own
branding
iron
then
pray
god
not
that
yet
i
fear
something
captain
ahab
is
not
this
harpoon
for
the
white
whale
for
the
white
fiend
but
now
for
the
barbs
thou
must
make
them
thyself
man
here
are
my
razors
the
best
of
steel
here
and
make
the
barbs
sharp
as
the
needle
sleet
of
the
icy
sea
for
a
moment
the
old
blacksmith
eyed
the
razors
as
though
he
would
fain
not
use
them
take
them
man
i
have
no
need
for
them
for
i
now
neither
shave
sup
nor
pray
till
but
here
to
work
fashioned
at
last
into
an
arrowy
shape
and
welded
by
perth
to
the
shank
the
steel
soon
pointed
the
end
of
the
iron
and
as
the
blacksmith
was
about
giving
the
barbs
their
final
heat
prior
to
tempering
them
he
cried
to
ahab
to
place
the
water
cask
near
no
no
no
water
for
that
i
want
it
of
the
true
death
temper
ahoy
there
tashtego
queequeg
daggoo
what
say
ye
pagans
will
ye
give
me
as
much
blood
as
will
cover
this
barb
holding
it
high
up
a
cluster
of
dark
nods
replied
yes
three
punctures
were
made
in
the
heathen
flesh
and
the
white
whales
barbs
were
then
tempered
ego
non
baptizo
te
in
nomine
patris
sed
in
nomine
diaboli
deliriously
howled
ahab
as
the
malignant
iron
scorchingly
devoured
the
baptismal
blood
now
mustering
the
spare
poles
from
below
and
selecting
one
of
hickory
with
the
bark
still
investing
it
ahab
fitted
the
end
to
the
socket
of
the
iron
a
coil
of
new
tow
line
was
then
unwound
and
some
fathoms
of
it
taken
to
the
windlass
and
stretched
to
a
great
tension
pressing
his
foot
upon
it
till
the
rope
hummed
like
a
harp
string
then
eagerly
bending
over
it
and
seeing
no
strandings
ahab
exclaimed
good
and
now
for
the
seizings
at
one
extremity
the
rope
was
unstranded
and
the
separate
spread
yarns
were
all
braided
and
woven
round
the
socket
of
the
harpoon
the
pole
was
then
driven
hard
up
into
the
socket
from
the
lower
end
the
rope
was
traced
half
way
along
the
poles
length
and
firmly
secured
so
with
intertwistings
of
twine
this
done
pole
iron
and
rope
like
the
three
fates
remained
inseparable
and
ahab
moodily
stalked
away
with
the
weapon
the
sound
of
his
ivory
leg
and
the
sound
of
the
hickory
pole
both
hollowly
ringing
along
every
plank
but
ere
he
entered
his
cabin
a
light
unnatural
half
bantering
yet
most
piteous
sound
was
heard
oh
pip
thy
wretched
laugh
thy
idle
but
unresting
eye
all
thy
strange
mummeries
not
unmeaningly
blended
with
the
black
tragedy
of
the
melancholy
ship
and
mocked
it
penetrating
further
and
further
into
the
heart
of
the
japanese
cruising
ground
the
pequod
was
soon
all
astir
in
the
fishery
often
in
mild
pleasant
weather
for
twelve
fifteen
eighteen
and
twenty
hours
on
the
stretch
they
were
engaged
in
the
boats
steadily
pulling
or
sailing
or
paddling
after
the
whales
or
for
an
interlude
of
sixty
or
seventy
minutes
calmly
awaiting
their
uprising
though
with
but
small
success
for
their
pains
at
such
times
under
an
abated
sun
afloat
all
day
upon
smooth
slow
heaving
swells
seated
in
his
boat
light
as
a
birch
canoe
and
so
sociably
mixing
with
the
soft
waves
themselves
that
like
hearth
stone
cats
they
purr
against
the
gunwale
these
are
the
times
of
dreamy
quietude
when
beholding
the
tranquil
beauty
and
brilliancy
of
the
oceans
skin
one
forgets
the
tiger
heart
that
pants
beneath
it
and
would
not
willingly
remember
that
this
velvet
paw
but
conceals
a
remorseless
fang
these
are
the
times
when
in
his
whale
boat
the
rover
softly
feels
a
certain
filial
confident
land
like
feeling
towards
the
sea
that
he
regards
it
as
so
much
flowery
earth
and
the
distant
ship
revealing
only
the
tops
of
her
masts
seems
struggling
forward
not
though
high
rolling
waves
but
through
the
tall
grass
of
a
rolling
prairie
as
when
the
western
emigrants
horses
only
show
their
erected
ears
while
their
hidden
bodies
widely
wade
through
the
amazing
verdure
the
long
drawn
virgin
vales
the
mild
blue
hill
sides
as
over
these
there
steals
the
hush
the
hum
you
almost
swear
that
play
wearied
children
lie
sleeping
in
these
solitudes
in
some
glad
may
time
when
the
flowers
of
the
woods
are
plucked
and
all
this
mixes
with
your
most
mystic
mood
so
that
fact
and
fancy
half
way
meeting
interpenetrate
and
form
one
seamless
whole
nor
did
such
soothing
scenes
however
temporary
fail
of
at
least
as
temporary
an
effect
on
ahab
but
if
these
secret
golden
keys
did
seem
to
open
in
him
his
own
secret
golden
treasuries
yet
did
his
breath
upon
them
prove
but
tarnishing
oh
grassy
glades
oh
ever
vernal
endless
landscapes
in
the
soul
in
ye
though
long
parched
by
the
dead
drought
of
the
earthy
life
in
ye
men
yet
may
roll
like
young
horses
in
new
morning
clover
and
for
some
few
fleeting
moments
feel
the
cool
dew
of
the
life
immortal
on
them
would
to
god
these
blessed
calms
would
last
but
the
mingled
mingling
threads
of
life
are
woven
by
warp
and
woof
calms
crossed
by
storms
a
storm
for
every
calm
there
is
no
steady
unretracing
progress
in
this
life
we
do
not
advance
through
fixed
gradations
and
at
the
last
one
pause
through
infancys
unconscious
spell
boyhoods
thoughtless
faith
adolescence
doubt
the
common
doom
then
scepticism
then
disbelief
resting
at
last
in
manhoods
pondering
repose
of
if
but
once
gone
through
we
trace
the
round
again
and
are
infants
boys
and
men
and
ifs
eternally
where
lies
the
final
harbor
whence
we
unmoor
no
more
in
what
rapt
ether
sails
the
world
of
which
the
weariest
will
never
weary
where
is
the
foundlings
father
hidden
our
souls
are
like
those
orphans
whose
unwedded
mothers
die
in
bearing
them
the
secret
of
our
paternity
lies
in
their
grave
and
we
must
there
to
learn
it
and
that
same
day
too
gazing
far
down
from
his
boats
side
into
that
same
golden
sea
starbuck
lowly
murmured
loveliness
unfathomable
as
ever
lover
saw
in
his
young
brides
eye
tell
me
not
of
thy
teeth
tiered
sharks
and
thy
kidnapping
cannibal
ways
let
faith
oust
fact
let
fancy
oust
memory
i
look
deep
down
and
do
believe
and
stubb
fish
like
with
sparkling
scales
leaped
up
in
that
same
golden
light
i
am
stubb
and
stubb
has
his
history
but
here
stubb
takes
oaths
that
he
has
always
been
jolly
and
jolly
enough
were
the
sights
and
the
sounds
that
came
bearing
down
before
the
wind
some
few
weeks
after
ahabs
harpoon
had
been
welded
it
was
a
nantucket
ship
the
bachelor
which
had
just
wedged
in
her
last
cask
of
oil
and
bolted
down
her
bursting
hatches
and
now
in
glad
holiday
apparel
was
joyously
though
somewhat
vain
gloriously
sailing
round
among
the
widely
separated
ships
on
the
ground
previous
to
pointing
her
prow
for
home
the
three
men
at
her
mast
head
wore
long
streamers
of
narrow
red
bunting
at
their
hats
from
the
stern
a
whale
boat
was
suspended
bottom
down
and
hanging
captive
from
the
bowsprit
was
seen
the
long
lower
jaw
of
the
last
whale
they
had
slain
signals
ensigns
and
jacks
of
all
colors
were
flying
from
her
rigging
on
every
side
sideways
lashed
in
each
of
her
three
basketed
tops
were
two
barrels
of
sperm
above
which
in
her
top
mast
cross
trees
you
saw
slender
breakers
of
the
same
precious
fluid
and
nailed
to
her
main
truck
was
a
brazen
lamp
as
was
afterwards
learned
the
bachelor
had
met
with
the
most
surprising
success
all
the
more
wonderful
for
that
while
cruising
in
the
same
seas
numerous
other
vessels
had
gone
entire
months
without
securing
a
single
fish
not
only
had
barrels
of
beef
and
bread
been
given
away
to
make
room
for
the
far
more
valuable
sperm
but
additional
supplemental
casks
had
been
bartered
for
from
the
ships
she
had
met
and
these
were
stowed
along
the
deck
and
in
the
captains
and
officers
staterooms
even
the
cabin
table
itself
had
been
knocked
into
kindling
wood
and
the
cabin
mess
dined
off
the
broad
head
of
an
oil
butt
lashed
down
to
the
floor
for
a
centrepiece
in
the
forecastle
the
sailors
had
actually
caulked
and
pitched
their
chests
and
filled
them
it
was
humorously
added
that
the
cook
had
clapped
a
head
on
his
largest
boiler
and
filled
it
that
the
steward
had
plugged
his
spare
coffee
pot
and
filled
it
that
the
harpooneers
had
headed
the
sockets
of
their
irons
and
filled
them
that
indeed
everything
was
filled
with
sperm
except
the
captains
pantaloons
pockets
and
those
he
reserved
to
thrust
his
hands
into
in
self
complacent
testimony
of
his
entire
satisfaction
as
this
glad
ship
of
good
luck
bore
down
upon
the
moody
pequod
the
barbarian
sound
of
enormous
drums
came
from
her
forecastle
and
drawing
still
nearer
a
crowd
of
her
men
were
seen
standing
round
her
huge
try
pots
which
covered
with
the
parchment
like
poke
or
stomach
skin
of
the
black
fish
gave
forth
a
loud
roar
to
every
stroke
of
the
clenched
hands
of
the
crew
on
the
quarter
deck
the
mates
and
harpooneers
were
dancing
with
the
olive
hued
girls
who
had
eloped
with
them
from
the
polynesian
isles
while
suspended
in
an
ornamented
boat
firmly
secured
aloft
between
the
foremast
and
mainmast
three
long
island
negroes
with
glittering
fiddle
bows
of
whale
ivory
were
presiding
over
the
hilarious
jig
meanwhile
others
of
the
ships
company
were
tumultuously
busy
at
the
masonry
of
the
try
works
from
which
the
huge
pots
had
been
removed
you
would
have
almost
thought
they
were
pulling
down
the
cursed
bastile
such
wild
cries
they
raised
as
the
now
useless
brick
and
mortar
were
being
hurled
into
the
sea
lord
and
master
over
all
this
scene
the
captain
stood
erect
on
the
ships
elevated
quarter
deck
so
that
the
whole
rejoicing
drama
was
full
before
him
and
seemed
merely
contrived
for
his
own
individual
diversion
and
ahab
he
too
was
standing
on
his
quarter
deck
shaggy
and
black
with
a
stubborn
gloom
and
as
the
two
ships
crossed
each
others
wakes
one
all
jubilations
for
things
passed
the
other
all
forebodings
as
to
things
to
come
their
two
captains
in
themselves
impersonated
the
whole
striking
contrast
of
the
scene
come
aboard
come
aboard
cried
the
gay
bachelors
commander
lifting
a
glass
and
a
bottle
in
the
air
hast
seen
the
white
whale
gritted
ahab
in
reply
no
only
heard
of
him
but
dont
believe
in
him
at
all
said
the
other
good
humoredly
come
aboard
thou
are
too
damned
jolly
sail
on
hast
lost
any
men
not
enough
to
speak
of
two
islanders
thats
all
but
come
aboard
old
hearty
come
along
ill
soon
take
that
black
from
your
brow
come
along
will
ye
merrys
the
play
a
full
ship
and
homeward
bound
how
wondrous
familiar
is
a
fool
muttered
ahab
then
aloud
thou
art
a
full
ship
and
homeward
bound
thou
sayest
well
then
call
me
an
empty
ship
and
outward
bound
so
go
thy
ways
and
i
will
mine
forward
there
set
all
sail
and
keep
her
to
the
wind
and
thus
while
the
one
ship
went
cheerily
before
the
breeze
the
other
stubbornly
fought
against
it
and
so
the
two
vessels
parted
the
crew
of
the
pequod
looking
with
grave
lingering
glances
towards
the
receding
bachelor
but
the
bachelors
men
never
heeding
their
gaze
for
the
lively
revelry
they
were
in
and
as
ahab
leaning
over
the
taffrail
eyed
the
homeward
bound
craft
he
took
from
his
pocket
a
small
vial
of
sand
and
then
looking
from
the
ship
to
the
vial
seemed
thereby
bringing
two
remote
associations
together
for
that
vial
was
filled
with
nantucket
soundings
not
seldom
in
this
life
when
on
the
right
side
fortunes
favorites
sail
close
by
us
we
though
all
adroop
before
catch
somewhat
of
the
rushing
breeze
and
joyfully
feel
our
bagging
sails
fill
out
so
seemed
it
with
the
pequod
for
next
day
after
encountering
the
gay
bachelor
whales
were
seen
and
four
were
slain
and
one
of
them
by
ahab
it
was
far
down
the
afternoon
and
when
all
the
spearings
of
the
crimson
fight
were
done
and
floating
in
the
lovely
sunset
sea
and
sky
sun
and
whale
both
stilly
died
together
then
such
a
sweetness
and
such
plaintiveness
such
inwreathing
orisons
curled
up
in
that
rosy
air
that
it
almost
seemed
as
if
far
over
from
the
deep
green
convent
valleys
of
the
manilla
isles
the
spanish
land
breeze
wantonly
turned
sailor
had
gone
to
sea
freighted
with
these
vesper
hymns
soothed
again
but
only
soothed
to
deeper
gloom
ahab
who
had
sterned
off
from
the
whale
sat
intently
watching
his
final
wanings
from
the
now
tranquil
boat
for
that
strange
spectacle
observable
in
all
sperm
whales
dying
the
turning
sunwards
of
the
head
and
so
expiring
that
strange
spectacle
beheld
of
such
a
placid
evening
somehow
to
ahab
conveyed
a
wondrousness
unknown
before
he
turns
and
turns
him
to
it
how
slowly
but
how
steadfastly
his
homage
rendering
and
invoking
brow
with
his
last
dying
motions
he
too
worships
fire
most
faithful
broad
baronial
vassal
of
the
sun
oh
that
these
too
favoring
eyes
should
see
these
too
favoring
sights
look
here
far
water
locked
beyond
all
hum
of
human
weal
or
woe
in
these
most
candid
and
impartial
seas
where
to
traditions
no
rocks
furnish
tablets
where
for
long
chinese
ages
the
billows
have
still
rolled
on
speechless
and
unspoken
to
as
stars
that
shine
upon
the
nigers
unknown
source
here
too
life
dies
sunwards
full
of
faith
but
see
no
sooner
dead
than
death
whirls
round
the
corpse
and
it
heads
some
other
way
oh
thou
dark
hindoo
half
of
nature
who
of
drowned
bones
hast
builded
thy
separate
throne
somewhere
in
the
heart
of
these
unverdured
seas
thou
art
an
infidel
thou
queen
and
too
truly
speakest
to
me
in
the
wide
slaughtering
typhoon
and
the
hushed
burial
of
its
after
calm
nor
has
this
thy
whale
sunwards
turned
his
dying
head
and
then
gone
round
again
without
a
lesson
to
me
oh
trebly
hooped
and
welded
hip
of
power
oh
high
aspiring
rainbowed
jet
that
one
strivest
this
one
jettest
all
in
vain
in
vain
oh
whale
dost
thou
seek
intercedings
with
yon
all
quickening
sun
that
only
calls
forth
life
but
gives
it
not
again
yet
dost
thou
darker
half
rock
me
with
a
prouder
if
a
darker
faith
all
thy
unnamable
imminglings
float
beneath
me
here
i
am
buoyed
by
breaths
of
once
living
things
exhaled
as
air
but
water
now
then
hail
for
ever
hail
o
sea
in
whose
eternal
tossings
the
wild
fowl
finds
his
only
rest
born
of
earth
yet
suckled
by
the
sea
though
hill
and
valley
mothered
me
ye
billows
are
my
foster
brothers
the
four
whales
slain
that
evening
had
died
wide
apart
one
far
to
windward
one
less
distant
to
leeward
one
ahead
one
astern
these
last
three
were
brought
alongside
ere
nightfall
but
the
windward
one
could
not
be
reached
till
morning
and
the
boat
that
had
killed
it
lay
by
its
side
all
night
and
that
boat
was
ahabs
the
waif
pole
was
thrust
upright
into
the
dead
whales
spout
hole
and
the
lantern
hanging
from
its
top
cast
a
troubled
flickering
glare
upon
the
black
glossy
back
and
far
out
upon
the
midnight
waves
which
gently
chafed
the
whales
broad
flank
like
soft
surf
upon
a
beach
ahab
and
all
his
boats
crew
seemed
asleep
but
the
parsee
who
crouching
in
the
bow
sat
watching
the
sharks
that
spectrally
played
round
the
whale
and
tapped
the
light
cedar
planks
with
their
tails
a
sound
like
the
moaning
in
squadrons
over
asphaltites
of
unforgiven
ghosts
of
gomorrah
ran
shuddering
through
the
air
started
from
his
slumbers
ahab
face
to
face
saw
the
parsee
and
hooped
round
by
the
gloom
of
the
night
they
seemed
the
last
men
in
a
flooded
world
i
have
dreamed
it
again
said
he
of
the
hearses
have
i
not
said
old
man
that
neither
hearse
nor
coffin
can
be
thine
and
who
are
hearsed
that
die
on
the
sea
but
i
said
old
man
that
ere
thou
couldst
die
on
this
voyage
two
hearses
must
verily
be
seen
by
thee
on
the
sea
the
first
not
made
by
mortal
hands
and
the
visible
wood
of
the
last
one
must
be
grown
in
america
aye
aye
a
strange
sight
that
parsee
a
hearse
and
its
plumes
floating
over
the
ocean
with
the
waves
for
the
pall
bearers
ha
such
a
sight
we
shall
not
soon
see
believe
it
or
not
thou
canst
not
die
till
it
be
seen
old
man
and
what
was
that
saying
about
thyself
though
it
come
to
the
last
i
shall
still
go
before
thee
thy
pilot
and
when
thou
art
so
gone
before
if
that
ever
befall
then
ere
i
can
follow
thou
must
still
appear
to
me
to
pilot
me
still
was
it
not
so
well
then
did
i
believe
all
ye
say
oh
my
pilot
i
have
here
two
pledges
that
i
shall
yet
slay
moby
dick
and
survive
it
take
another
pledge
old
man
said
the
parsee
as
his
eyes
lighted
up
like
fire
flies
in
the
gloom
hemp
only
can
kill
thee
the
gallows
ye
mean
i
am
immortal
then
on
land
and
on
sea
cried
ahab
with
a
laugh
of
derision
immortal
on
land
and
on
sea
both
were
silent
again
as
one
man
the
grey
dawn
came
on
and
the
slumbering
crew
arose
from
the
boats
bottom
and
ere
noon
the
dead
whale
was
brought
to
the
ship
the
season
for
the
line
at
length
drew
near
and
every
day
when
ahab
coming
from
his
cabin
cast
his
eyes
aloft
the
vigilant
helmsman
would
ostentatiously
handle
his
spokes
and
the
eager
mariners
quickly
run
to
the
braces
and
would
stand
there
with
all
their
eyes
centrally
fixed
on
the
nailed
doubloon
impatient
for
the
order
to
point
the
ships
prow
for
the
equator
in
good
time
the
order
came
it
was
hard
upon
high
noon
and
ahab
seated
in
the
bows
of
his
high
hoisted
boat
was
about
taking
his
wonted
daily
obervation
of
the
sun
to
determine
his
latitude
now
in
that
japanese
sea
the
days
in
summer
are
as
freshets
of
effulgences
that
unblinkingly
vivid
japanese
sun
seems
the
blazing
focus
of
the
glassy
oceans
immeasureable
burning
glass
the
sky
looks
lacquered
clouds
there
are
none
the
horizon
floats
and
this
nakedness
of
unrelieved
radiance
is
as
the
insufferable
splendors
of
gods
throne
well
that
ahabs
quadrant
was
furnished
with
colored
glasses
through
which
to
take
sight
of
that
solar
fire
so
swinging
his
seated
form
to
the
roll
of
the
ship
and
with
his
astrological
looking
instrument
placed
to
his
eye
he
remained
in
that
posture
for
some
moments
to
catch
the
precise
instant
when
the
sun
should
gain
its
precise
meridian
meantime
while
his
whole
attention
was
absorbed
the
parsee
was
kneeling
beneath
him
on
the
ships
deck
and
with
face
thrown
up
like
ahabs
was
eyeing
the
same
sun
with
him
only
the
lids
of
his
eyes
half
hooded
their
orbs
and
his
wild
face
was
subdued
to
an
earthly
passionlessness
at
length
the
desired
observation
was
taken
and
with
his
pencil
upon
his
ivory
leg
ahab
soon
calculated
what
his
latitude
must
be
at
that
precise
instant
then
falling
into
a
moments
revery
he
again
looked
up
towards
the
sun
and
murmured
to
himself
thou
sea
mark
thou
high
and
mighty
pilot
thou
tellest
me
truly
where
i
am
but
canst
thou
cast
the
least
hint
where
i
shall
be
or
canst
thou
tell
where
some
other
thing
besides
me
is
this
moment
living
where
is
moby
dick
this
instant
thou
must
be
eyeing
him
these
eyes
of
mine
look
into
the
very
eye
that
is
even
now
beholding
him
aye
and
into
the
eye
that
is
even
now
equally
beholding
the
objects
on
the
unknown
thither
side
of
thee
thou
sun
then
gazing
at
his
quadrant
and
handling
one
after
the
other
its
numerous
cabalistical
contrivances
he
pondered
again
and
muttered
foolish
toy
babies
plaything
of
haughty
admirals
and
commodores
and
captains
the
world
brags
of
thee
of
thy
cunning
and
might
but
what
after
all
canst
thou
do
but
tell
the
poor
pitiful
point
where
thou
thyself
happenest
to
be
on
this
wide
planet
and
the
hand
that
holds
thee
no
not
one
jot
more
thou
canst
not
tell
where
one
drop
of
water
or
one
grain
of
sand
will
be
to
morrow
noon
and
yet
with
thy
impotence
thou
insultest
the
sun
science
curse
thee
thou
vain
toy
and
cursed
be
all
the
things
that
cast
mans
eyes
aloft
to
that
heaven
whose
live
vividness
but
scorches
him
as
these
old
eyes
are
even
now
scorched
with
thy
light
o
sun
level
by
nature
to
this
earths
horizon
are
the
glances
of
mans
eyes
not
shot
from
the
crown
of
his
head
as
if
god
had
meant
him
to
gaze
on
his
firmament
curse
thee
thou
quadrant
dashing
it
to
the
deck
no
longer
will
i
guide
my
earthly
way
by
thee
the
level
ships
compass
and
the
level
dead
reckoning
by
log
and
by
line
these
shall
conduct
me
and
show
me
my
place
on
the
sea
aye
lighting
from
the
boat
to
the
deck
thus
i
trample
on
thee
thou
paltry
thing
that
feebly
pointest
on
high
thus
i
split
and
destroy
thee
as
the
frantic
old
man
thus
spoke
and
thus
trampled
with
his
live
and
dead
feet
a
sneering
triumph
that
seemed
meant
for
ahab
and
a
fatalistic
despair
that
seemed
meant
for
himself
these
passed
over
the
mute
motionless
parsees
face
unobserved
he
rose
and
glided
away
while
awestruck
by
the
aspect
of
their
commander
the
seamen
clustered
together
on
the
forecastle
till
ahab
troubledly
pacing
the
deck
shouted
out
to
the
braces
up
helm
square
in
in
an
instant
the
yards
swung
round
and
as
the
ship
half
wheeled
upon
her
heel
her
three
firm
seated
graceful
masts
erectly
poised
upon
her
long
ribbed
hull
seemed
as
the
three
horatii
pirouetting
on
one
sufficient
steed
standing
between
the
knight
heads
starbuck
watched
the
pequods
tumultuous
way
and
ahabs
also
as
he
went
lurching
along
the
deck
i
have
sat
before
the
dense
coal
fire
and
watched
it
all
aglow
full
of
its
tormented
flaming
life
and
i
have
seen
it
wane
at
last
down
down
to
dumbest
dust
old
man
of
oceans
of
all
this
fiery
life
of
thine
what
will
at
length
remain
but
one
little
heap
of
ashes
aye
cried
stubb
but
sea
coal
ashes
mind
ye
that
mr
starbuck
sea
coal
not
your
common
charcoal
well
well
i
heard
ahab
mutter
here
some
one
thrusts
these
cards
into
these
old
hands
of
mine
swears
that
i
must
play
them
and
no
others
and
damn
me
ahab
but
thou
actest
right
live
in
the
game
and
die
it
warmest
climes
but
nurse
the
cruellest
fangs
the
tiger
of
bengal
crouches
in
spiced
groves
of
ceaseless
verdure
skies
the
most
effulgent
but
basket
the
deadliest
thunders
gorgeous
cuba
knows
tornadoes
that
never
swept
tame
northern
lands
so
too
it
is
that
in
these
resplendent
japanese
seas
the
mariner
encounters
the
direst
of
all
storms
the
typhoon
it
will
sometimes
burst
from
out
that
cloudless
sky
like
an
exploding
bomb
upon
a
dazed
and
sleepy
town
towards
evening
of
that
day
the
pequod
was
torn
of
her
canvas
and
bare
poled
was
left
to
fight
a
typhoon
which
had
struck
her
directly
ahead
when
darkness
came
on
sky
and
sea
roared
and
split
with
the
thunder
and
blazed
with
the
lightning
that
showed
the
disabled
masts
fluttering
here
and
there
with
the
rags
which
the
first
fury
of
the
tempest
had
left
for
its
after
sport
holding
by
a
shroud
starbuck
was
standing
on
the
quarter
deck
at
every
flash
of
the
lightning
glancing
aloft
to
see
what
additional
disaster
might
have
befallen
the
intricate
hamper
there
while
stubb
and
flask
were
directing
the
men
in
the
higher
hoisting
and
firmer
lashing
of
the
boats
but
all
their
pains
seemed
naught
though
lifted
to
the
very
top
of
the
cranes
the
windward
quarter
boat
ahabs
did
not
escape
a
great
rolling
sea
dashing
high
up
against
the
reeling
ships
high
tetering
side
stove
in
the
boats
bottom
at
the
stern
and
left
it
again
all
dripping
through
like
a
sieve
bad
work
bad
work
mr
starbuck
said
stubb
regarding
the
wreck
but
the
sea
will
have
its
way
stubb
for
one
cant
fight
it
you
see
mr
starbuck
a
wave
has
such
a
great
long
start
before
it
leaps
all
round
the
world
it
runs
and
then
comes
the
spring
but
as
for
me
all
the
start
i
have
to
meet
it
is
just
across
the
deck
here
but
never
mind
its
all
in
fun
so
the
old
song
says
sings
oh
jolly
is
the
gale
and
a
joker
is
the
whale
a
flourishin
his
tail
such
a
funny
sporty
gamy
jesty
joky
hoky
poky
lad
is
the
ocean
oh
the
scud
all
a
flyin
thats
his
flip
only

such
a

hoky

is

oh
avast
stubb
cried
starbuck
let
the
typhoon
sing
and
strike
his
harp
here
in
our
rigging
but
if
thou
art
a
brave
man
thou
wilt
hold
thy
peace
but
i
am
not
a
brave
man
never
said
i
was
a
brave
man
i
am
a
coward
and
i
sing
to
keep
up
my
spirits
and
i
tell
you
what
it
is
mr
starbuck
theres
no
way
to
stop
my
singing
in
this
world
but
to
cut
my
throat
and
when
thats
done
ten
to
one
i
sing
ye
the
doxology
for
a
wind
up
madman
look
through
my
eyes
if
thou
hast
none
of
thine
own
what
how
can
you
see
better
of
a
dark
night
than
anybody
else
never
mind
how
foolish
here
cried
starbuck
seizing
stubb
by
the
shoulder
and
pointing
his
hand
towards
the
weather
bow
markest
thou
not
that
the
gale
comes
from
the
eastward
the
very
course
ahab
is
to
run
for
moby
dick
the
very
course
he
swung
to
this
day
noon
now
mark
his
boat
there
where
is
that
stove
in
the
stern
sheets
man
where
he
is
wont
to
stand
his
stand
point
is
stove
man
now
jump
overboard
and
sing
away
if
thou
must
i
dont
half
understand
ye
whats
in
the
wind
yes
yes
round
the
cape
of
good
hope
is
the
shortest
way
to
nantucket
soliloquized
starbuck
suddenly
heedless
of
stubbs
question
the
gale
that
now
hammers
at
us
to
stave
us
we
can
turn
it
into
a
fair
wind
that
will
drive
us
towards
home
yonder
to
windward
all
is
blackness
of
doom
but
to
leeward
homeward
i
see
it
lightens
up
there
but
not
with
the
lightning
at
that
moment
in
one
of
the
intervals
of
profound
darkness
following
the
flashes
a
voice
was
heard
at
his
side
and
almost
at
the
same
instant
a
volley
of
thunder
peals
rolled
overhead
whos
there
old
thunder
said
ahab
groping
his
way
along
the
bulwarks
to
his
pivot
hole
but
suddenly
finding
his
path
made
plain
to
him
by
elbowed
lances
of
fire
now
as
the
lightning
rod
to
a
spire
on
shore
is
intended
to
carry
off
the
perilous
fluid
into
the
soil
so
the
kindred
rod
which
at
sea
some
ships
carry
to
each
mast
is
intended
to
conduct
it
into
the
water
but
as
this
conductor
must
descend
to
considerable
depth
that
its
end
may
avoid
all
contact
with
the
hull
and
as
moreover
if
kept
constantly
towing
there
it
would
be
liable
to
many
mishaps
besides
interfering
not
a
little
with
some
of
the
rigging
and
more
or
less
impeding
the
vessels
way
in
the
water
because
of
all
this
the
lower
parts
of
a
ships
lightning
rods
are
not
always
overboard
but
are
generally
made
in
long
slender
links
so
as
to
be
the
more
readily
hauled
up
into
the
chains
outside
or
thrown
down
into
the
sea
as
occasion
may
require
the
rods
the
rods
cried
starbuck
to
the
crew
suddenly
admonished
to
vigilance
by
the
vivid
lightning
that
had
just
been
darting
flambeaux
to
light
ahab
to
his
post
are
they
overboard
drop
them
over
fore
and
aft
quick
avast
cried
ahab
lets
have
fair
play
here
though
we
be
the
weaker
side
yet
ill
contribute
to
raise
rods
on
the
himmalehs
and
andes
that
all
the
world
may
be
secured
but
out
on
privileges
let
them
be
sir
look
aloft
cried
starbuck
the
corpusants
the
corpusants
all
the
yard
arms
were
tipped
with
a
pallid
fire
and
touched
at
each
tri
pointed
lightning
rod
end
with
three
tapering
white
flames
each
of
the
three
tall
masts
was
silently
burning
in
that
sulphurous
air
like
three
gigantic
wax
tapers
before
an
altar
blast
the
boat
let
it
go
cried
stubb
at
this
instant
as
a
swashing
sea
heaved
up
under
his
own
little
craft
so
that
its
gunwale
violently
jammed
his
hand
as
he
was
passing
a
lashing
blast
it
but
slipping
backward
on
the
deck
his
uplifted
eyes
caught
the
flames
and
immediately
shifting
his
tone
he
cried
the
corpusants
have
mercy
on
us
all
to
sailors
oaths
are
household
words
they
will
swear
in
the
trance
of
the
calm
and
in
the
teeth
of
the
tempest
they
will
imprecate
curses
from
the
topsail
yard
arms
when
most
they
teter
over
to
a
seething
sea
but
in
all
my
voyagings
seldom
have
i
heard
a
common
oath
when
gods
burning
finger
has
been
laid
on
the
ship
when
his
mene
mene
tekel
upharsin
has
been
woven
into
the
shrouds
and
the
cordage
while
this
pallidness
was
burning
aloft
few
words
were
heard
from
the
enchanted
crew
who
in
one
thick
cluster
stood
on
the
forecastle
all
their
eyes
gleaming
in
that
pale
phosphorescence
like
a
far
away
constellation
of
stars
relieved
against
the
ghostly
light
the
gigantic
jet
negro
daggoo
loomed
up
to
thrice
his
real
stature
and
seemed
the
black
cloud
from
which
the
thunder
had
come
the
parted
mouth
of
tashtego
revealed
his
shark
white
teeth
which
strangely
gleamed
as
if
they
too
had
been
tipped
by
corpusants
while
lit
up
by
the
preternatural
light
queequegs
tattooing
burned
like
satanic
blue
flames
on
his
body
the
tableau
all
waned
at
last
with
the
pallidness
aloft
and
once
more
the
pequod
and
every
soul
on
her
decks
were
wrapped
in
a
pall
a
moment
or
two
passed
when
starbuck
going
forward
pushed
against
some
one
it
was
stubb
what
thinkest
thou
now
man
i
heard
thy
cry
it
was
not
the
same
in
the
song
no
no
it
wasnt
i
said
the
corpusants
have
mercy
on
us
all
and
i
hope
they
will
still
but
do
they
only
have
mercy
on
long
faces
have
they
no
bowels
for
a
laugh
and
look
ye
mr
starbuck
but
its
too
dark
to
look
hear
me
then
i
take
that
mast
head
flame
we
saw
for
a
sign
of
good
luck
for
those
masts
are
rooted
in
a
hold
that
is
going
to
be
chock
a
block
with
sperm
oil
dye
see
and
so
all
that
sperm
will
work
up
into
the
masts
like
sap
in
a
tree
yes
our
three
masts
will
yet
be
as
three
spermaceti
candles
thats
the
good
promise
we
saw
at
that
moment
starbuck
caught
sight
of
stubbs
face
slowly
beginning
to
glimmer
into
sight
glancing
upwards
he
cried
see
see
and
once
more
the
high
tapering
flames
were
beheld
with
what
seemed
redoubled
supernaturalness
in
their
pallor
the
corpusants
have
mercy
on
us
all
cried
stubb
again
at
the
base
of
the
mainmast
full
beneath
the
doubloon
and
the
flame
the
parsee
was
kneeling
in
ahabs
front
but
with
his
head
bowed
away
from
him
while
near
by
from
the
arched
and
overhanging
rigging
where
they
had
just
been
engaged
securing
a
spar
a
number
of
the
seamen
arrested
by
the
glare
now
cohered
together
and
hung
pendulous
like
a
knot
of
numbed
wasps
from
a
drooping
orchard
twig
in
various
enchanted
attitudes
like
the
standing
or
stepping
or
running
skeletons
in
herculaneum
others
remained
rooted
to
the
deck
but
all
their
eyes
upcast
aye
aye
men
cried
ahab
look
up
at
it
mark
it
well
the
white
flame
but
lights
the
way
to
the
white
whale
hand
me
those
main
mast
links
there
i
would
fain
feel
this
pulse
and
let
mine
beat
against
it
blood
against
fire
so
then
turning
the
last
link
held
fast
in
his
left
hand
he
put
his
foot
upon
the
parsee
and
with
fixed
upward
eye
and
high
flung
right
arm
he
stood
erect
before
the
lofty
tri
pointed
trinity
of
flames
oh
thou
clear
spirit
of
clear
fire
whom
on
these
seas
i
as
persian
once
did
worship
till
in
the
sacramental
act
so
burned
by
thee
that
to
this
hour
i
bear
the
scar
i
now
know
thee
thou
clear
spirit
and
i
now
know
that
thy
right
worship
is
defiance
to
neither
love
nor
reverence
wilt
thou
be
kind
and
een
for
hate
thou
canst
but
kill
and
all
are
killed
no
fearless
fool
now
fronts
thee
i
own
thy
speechless
placeless
power
but
to
the
last
gasp
of
my
earthquake
life
will
dispute
its
unconditional
unintegral
mastery
in
me
in
the
midst
of
the
personified
impersonal
a
personality
stands
here
though
but
a
point
at
best
whencesoeer
i
came
wheresoeer
i
go
yet
while
i
earthly
live
the
queenly
personality
lives
in
me
and
feels
her
royal
rights
but
war
is
pain
and
hate
is
woe
come
in
thy
lowest
form
of
love
and
i
will
kneel
and
kiss
thee
but
at
thy
highest
come
as
mere
supernal
power
and
though
thou
launchest
navies
of
full
freighted
worlds
theres
that
in
here
that
still
remains
indifferent
oh
thou
clear
spirit
of
thy
fire
thou
madest
me
and
like
a
true
child
of
fire
i
breathe
it
back
to
thee
sudden
repeated
flashes
of
lightning
the
nine
flames
leap
lengthwise
to
thrice
their
previous
height
ahab
with
the
rest
closes
his
eyes
his
right
hand
pressed
hard
upon
them
i
own
thy
speechless
placeless
power
said
i
not
so
nor
was
it
wrung
from
me
nor
do
i
now
drop
these
links
thou
canst
blind
but
i
can
then
grope
thou
canst
consume
but
i
can
then
be
ashes
take
the
homage
of
these
poor
eyes
and
shutter
hands
i
would
not
take
it
the
lightning
flashes
through
my
skull
mine
eye
balls
ache
and
ache
my
whole
beaten
brain
seems
as
beheaded
and
rolling
on
some
stunning
ground
oh
oh
yet
blindfold
yet
will
i
talk
to
thee
light
though
thou
be
thou
leapest
out
of
darkness
but
i
am
darkness
leaping
out
of
light
leaping
out
of
thee
the
javelins
cease
open
eyes
see
or
not
there
burn
the
flames
oh
thou
magnanimous
now
do
i
glory
in
my
genealogy
but
thou
art
but
my
fiery
father
my
sweet
mother
i
know
not
oh
cruel
what
hast
thou
done
with
her
there
lies
my
puzzle
but
thine
is
greater
thou
knowest
not
how
came
ye
hence
callest
thyself
unbegotten
certainly
knowest
not
thy
beginning
hence
callest
thyself
unbegun
i
know
that
of
me
which
thou
knowest
not
of
thyself
oh
thou
omnipotent
there
is
some
unsuffusing
thing
beyond
thee
thou
clear
spirit
to
whom
all
thy
eternity
is
but
time
all
thy
creativeness

through
thee
thy
flaming
self
my
scorched
eyes

dimly
see
it
oh
thou
foundling
fire
thou
hermit
immemorial
thou
too
hast
thy
incommunicable
riddle
thy
unparticipated
grief
here
again
with
haughty
agony
i
read
my
sire
leap
leap
up
and

i
leap
with
thee
i

with
thee

thee
the
boat
the
boat
cried
starbuck
look
at
thy
boat
old
man
ahabs
harpoon
the
one
forged
at
perths
fire
remained
firmly
lashed
in
its
conspicuous
crotch
so
that
it
projected
beyond
his
whale
boats
bow
but
the
sea
that
had
stove
its
bottom
had
caused
the
loose
leather
sheath
to
drop
off
and
from
the
keen
steel
barb
there
now
came
a
levelled
flame
of
pale
forked
fire
as
the
silent
harpoon
burned
there
like
a
serpents
tongue
starbuck
grasped
ahab
by
the
arm
god
god
is
against
thee
old
man
forbear
tis
an
ill
voyage
ill
begun
ill
continued
let
me
square
the
yards
while
we
may
old
man
and
make
a
fair
wind
of
it
homewards
to
go
on
a
better
voyage
than
this
overhearing
starbuck
the
panic
stricken
crew
instantly
ran
to
the
braces
though
not
a
sail
was
left
aloft
for
the
moment
all
the
aghast
mates
thoughts
seemed
theirs
they
raised
a
half
mutinous
cry
but
dashing
the
rattling
lightning
links
to
the
deck
and
snatching
the
burning
harpoon
ahab
waved
it
like
a
torch
among
them
swearing
to
transfix
with
it
the
first
sailor
that
but
cast
loose
a
ropes
end
petrified
by
his
aspect
and
still
more
shrinking
from
the
fiery
dart
that
he
held
the
men
fell
back
in
dismay
and
ahab
again
spoke
all
your
oaths
to
hunt
the
white
whale
are
as
binding
as
mine
and
heart
soul
and
body
lungs
and
life
old
ahab
is
bound
and
that
ye
may
know
to
what
tune
this
heart
beats
look
ye
here
thus
i
blow
out
the
last
fear
and
with
one
blast
of
his
breath
he
extinguished
the
flame
as
in
the
hurricane
that
sweeps
the
plain

the
neighborhood
of
some
lone
gigantic
elm
whose
very
height
and
strength
but
render
it
so
much
the
more
unsafe
because
so
much
the
more
a
mark
for
thunderbolts
so
at
those
last
words
of
ahabs
many
of
the
mariners
did
run
from
him
in
a
terror
of
dismay
ahab
standing
by
the
helm
starbuck
approaching
him
we
must
send
down
the
main
top
sail
yard

band

but

wind
rises
but
it
has
not
got
up
to
my
table
lands
yet
quick
and
see
to
it
by
masts
and
keels
he
takes

for
the
hunch
backed
skipper
of
some
coasting
smack
send
down
my
main
top
sail
yard
ho
gluepots
loftiest
trucks
were
made
for
wildest
winds
and
this
brain
truck
of
mine
now
sails
amid
the
cloud
scud
shall
i
strike
that
oh
none
but
cowards
send
down
their
brain
trucks
in
tempest
time
what
a
hooroosh

i
would
een
take

for
sublime
did
i
not
know
that
the
colic
is
a
noisy
malady
oh
take
medicine
take
medicine
stubb
and
flask
mounted
on
them
and
passing
additional
lashings
over
the
anchors
there
hanging
no
stubb
you
may
pound
that
knot
there
as
much
as
you
please
but
you
will
never
pound
into
me
what
you
were
just
now
saying
and
how
long
ago
is
it
since
you
said
the
very
contrary
didnt
you
once
say
that
whatever
ship
ahab
sails
in
that
ship
should
pay
something
extra
on
its
insurance
policy
just
as
though
it
were
loaded
with
powder
barrels
aft
and
boxes
of
lucifers
forward
stop
now
didnt
you
say
so
well
suppose
i
did
what
then
ive
part
changed
my
flesh
since
that
time
why
not
my
mind
besides
supposing
we
are
loaded
with
powder
barrels
aft
and
lucifers
forward
how
the
devil
could
the
lucifers
get
afire
in
this
drenching
spray
here
why
my
little
man
you
have
pretty
red
hair
but
you
couldnt
get
afire
now
shake
yourself
youre
aquarius
or
the
water
bearer
flask
might
fill
pitchers
at
your
coat
collar
dont
you
see
then
that
for
these
extra
risks
the
marine
insurance
companies
have
extra
guarantees
here
are
hydrants
flask
but
hark
again
and
ill
answer
ye
the
other
thing
first
take
your
leg
off
from
the
crown
of
the
anchor
here
though
so
i
can
pass
the
rope
now
listen
whats
the
mighty
difference
between
holding
a
masts
lightning
rod
in
the
storm
and
standing
close
by
a
mast
that
hasnt
got
any
lightning
rod
at
all
in
a
storm
dont
you
see
you
timber
head
that
no
harm
can
come
to
the
holder
of
the
rod
unless
the
mast
is
first
struck
what
are
you
talking
about
then
not
one
ship
in
a
hundred
carries
rods
and
ahab
aye
man
and
all
of
us
were
in
no
more
danger
then
in
my
poor
opinion
than
all
the
crews
in
ten
thousand
ships
now
sailing
the
seas
why
you
king
post
you
i
suppose
you
would
have
every
man
in
the
world
go
about
with
a
small
lightning
rod
running
up
the
corner
of
his
hat
like
a
militia
officers
skewered
feather
and
trailing
behind
like
his
sash
why
dont
ye
be
sensible
flask
its
easy
to
be
sensible
why
dont
ye
then
any
man
with
half
an
eye
can
be
sensible
i
dont
know
that
stubb
you
sometimes
find
it
rather
hard
yes
when
a
fellows
soaked
through
its
hard
to
be
sensible
thats
a
fact
and
i
am
about
drenched
with
this
spray
never
mind
catch
the
turn
there
and
pass
it
seems
to
me
we
are
lashing
down
these
anchors
now
as
if
they
were
never
going
to
be
used
again
tying
these
two
anchors
here
flask
seems
like
tying
a
mans
hands
behind
him
and
what
big
generous
hands
they
are
to
be
sure
these
are
your
iron
fists
hey
what
a
hold
they
have
too
i
wonder
flask
whether
the
world
is
anchored
anywhere
if
she
is
she
swings
with
an
uncommon
long
cable
though
there
hammer
that
knot
down
and
weve
done
so
next
to
touching
land
lighting
on
deck
is
the
most
satisfactory
i
say
just
wring
out
my
jacket
skirts
will
ye
thank
ye
they
laugh
at
long
togs
so
flask
but
seems
to
me
a
long
tailed
coat
ought
always
to
be
worn
in
all
storms
afloat
the
tails
tapering
down
that
way
serve
to
carry
off
the
water
dye
see
same
with
cocked
hats
the
cocks
form
gable
end
eave
troughs
flask
no
more
monkey
jackets
and
tarpaulins
for
me
i
must
mount
a
swallow
tail
and
drive
down
a
beaver
so
halloa
whew
there
goes
my
tarpaulin
overboard
lord
lord
that
the
winds
that
come
from
heaven
should
be
so
unmannerly
this
is
a
nasty
night
lad
the
main
top
sail
yard
tashtego
passing
new
lashings
around
it
um
um
um
stop
that
thunder
plenty
too
much
thunder
up
here
whats
the
use
of
thunder
um
um
um
we
dont
want
thunder
we
want
rum
give
us
a
glass
of
rum
um
um
um
during
the
most
violent
shocks
of
the
typhoon
the
man
at
the
pequods
jaw
bone
tiller
had
several
times
been
reelingly
hurled
to
the
deck
by
its
spasmodic
motions
even
though
preventer
tackles
had
been
attached
to
it
for
they
were
slack
because
some
play
to
the
tiller
was
indispensable
in
a
severe
gale
like
this
while
the
ship
is
but
a
tossed
shuttle
cock
to
the
blast
it
is
by
no
means
uncommon
to
see
the
needles
in
the
compasses
at
intervals
go
round
and
round
it
was
thus
with
the
pequods
at
almost
every
shock
the
helmsman
had
not
failed
to
notice
the
whirling
velocity
with
which
they
revolved
upon
the
cards
it
is
a
sight
that
hardly
any
one
can
behold
without
some
sort
of
unwonted
emotion
some
hours
after
midnight
the
typhoon
abated
so
much
that
through
the
strenuous
exertions
of
starbuck
and
stubb
one
engaged
forward
and
the
other
aft
the
shivered
remnants
of
the
jib
and
fore
and
main
top
sails
were
cut
adrift
from
the
spars
and
went
eddying
away
to
leeward
like
the
feathers
of
an
albatross
which
sometimes
are
cast
to
the
winds
when
that
storm
tossed
bird
is
on
the
wing
the
three
corresponding
new
sails
were
now
bent
and
reefed
and
a
storm
trysail
was
set
further
aft
so
that
the
ship
soon
went
through
the
water
with
some
precision
again
and
the
course
for
the
present
east
south
east
which
he
was
to
steer
if
practicable
was
once
more
given
to
the
helmsman
for
during
the
violence
of
the
gale
he
had
only
steered
according
to
its
vicissitudes
but
as
he
was
now
bringing
the
ship
as
near
her
course
as
possible
watching
the
compass
meanwhile
lo
a
good
sign
the
wind
seemed
coming
round
astern
aye
the
foul
breeze
became
fair
instantly
the
yards
were
squared
to
the
lively
song
of
ho
the
fair
wind
oh
he
yo
cheerly
men
the
crew
singing
for
joy
that
so
promising
an
event
should
so
soon
have
falsified
the
evil
portents
preceding
it
in
compliance
with
the
standing
order
of
his
commander
to
report
immediately
and
at
any
one
of
the
twenty
four
hours
any
decided
change
in
the
affairs
of
the
deck
starbuck
had
no
sooner
trimmed
the
yards
to
the
breeze
however
reluctantly
and
gloomily
than
he
mechanically
went
below
to
apprise
captain
ahab
of
the
circumstance
ere
knocking
at
his
state
room
he
involuntarily
paused
before
it
a
moment
the
cabin
lamp
taking
long
swings
this
way
and
that
was
burning
fitfully
and
casting
fitful
shadows
upon
the
old
mans
bolted
door
a
thin
one
with
fixed
blinds
inserted
in
place
of
upper
panels
the
isolated
subterraneousness
of
the
cabin
made
a
certain
humming
silence
to
reign
there
though
it
was
hooped
round
by
all
the
roar
of
the
elements
the
loaded
muskets
in
the
rack
were
shiningly
revealed
as
they
stood
upright
against
the
forward
bulkhead
starbuck
was
an
honest
upright
man
but
out
of
starbucks
heart
at
that
instant
when
he
saw
the
muskets
there
strangely
evolved
an
evil
thought
but
so
blent
with
its
neutral
or
good
accompaniments
that
for
the
instant
he
hardly
knew
it
for
itself
he
would
have
shot
me
once
he
murmured
yes
theres
the
very
musket
that
he
pointed
at
me
that
one
with
the
studded
stock
let
me
touch
it
lift
it
strange
that
i
who
have
handled
so
many
deadly
lances
strange
that
i
should
shake
so
now
loaded
i
must
see
aye
aye
and
powder
in
the
pan
thats
not
good
best
spill
it
wait
ill
cure
myself
of
this
ill
hold
the
musket
boldly
while
i
think
i
come
to
report
a
fair
wind
to
him
but
how
fair
fair
for
death
and
doom
thats
fair
for
moby
dick
its
a
fair
wind
thats
only
fair
for
that
accursed
fish
the
very
tube
he
pointed
at
me
the
very
one
this
one
i
hold
it
here
he
would
have
killed
me
with
the
very
thing
i
handle
now
aye
and
he
would
fain
kill
all
his
crew
does
he
not
say
he
will
not
strike
his
spars
to
any
gale
has
he
not
dashed
his
heavenly
quadrant
and
in
these
same
perilous
seas
gropes
he
not
his
way
by
mere
dead
reckoning
of
the
error
abounding
log
and
in
this
very
typhoon
did
he
not
swear
that
he
would
have
no
lightning
rods
but
shall
this
crazed
old
man
be
tamely
suffered
to
drag
a
whole
ships
company
down
to
doom
with
him
yes
it
would
make
him
the
wilful
murderer
of
thirty
men
and
more
if
this
ship
come
to
any
deadly
harm
and
come
to
deadly
harm
my
soul
swears
this
ship
will
if
ahab
have
his
way
if
then
he
were
this
instant
put
aside
that
crime
would
not
be
his
ha
is
he
muttering
in
his
sleep
yes
just
there
in
there
hes
sleeping
sleeping
aye
but
still
alive
and
soon
awake
again
i
cant
withstand
thee
then
old
man
not
reasoning
not
remonstrance
not
entreaty
wilt
thou
hearken
to
all
this
thou
scornest
flat
obedience
to
thy
own
flat
commands
this
is
all
thou
breathest
aye
and
sayst
the
men
have
vowd
thy
vow
sayst
all
of
us
are
ahabs
great
god
forbid
but
is
there
no
other
way
no
lawful
way
make
him
a
prisoner
to
be
taken
home
what
hope
to
wrest
this
old
mans
living
power
from
his
own
living
hands
only
a
fool
would
try
it
say
he
were
pinioned
even
knotted
all
over
with
ropes
and
hawsers
chained
down
to
ring
bolts
on
this
cabin
floor
he
would
be
more
hideous
than
a
caged
tiger
then
i
could
not
endure
the
sight
could
not
possibly
fly
his
howlings
all
comfort
sleep
itself
inestimable
reason
would
leave
me
on
the
long
intolerable
voyage
what
then
remains
the
land
is
hundreds
of
leagues
away
and
locked
japan
the
nearest
i
stand
alone
here
upon
an
open
sea
with
two
oceans
and
a
whole
continent
between
me
and
law
aye
aye
tis
so
is
heaven
a
murderer
when
its
lightning
strikes
a
would
be
murderer
in
his
bed
tindering
sheets
and
skin
together
and
would
i
be
a
murderer
then
if
and
slowly
stealthily
and
half
sideways
looking
he
placed
the
loaded
muskets
end
against
the
door
on
this
level
ahabs
hammock
swings
within
his
head
this
way
a
touch
and
starbuck
may
survive
to
hug
his
wife
and
child
again
oh
mary
mary
boy
boy
boy
but
if
i
wake
thee
not
to
death
old
man
who
can
tell
to
what
unsounded
deeps
starbucks
body
this
day
week
may
sink
with
all
the
crew
great
god
where
art
thou
shall
i
shall
i
the
wind
has
gone
down
and
shifted
sir
the
fore
and
main
topsails
are
reefed
and
set
she
heads
her
course
stern
all
oh
moby
dick
i
clutch
thy
heart
at
last
such
were
the
sounds
that
now
came
hurtling
from
out
the
old
mans
tormented
sleep
as
if
starbucks
voice
had
caused
the
long
dumb
dream
to
speak
the
yet
levelled
musket
shook
like
a
drunkards
arm
against
the
panel
starbuck
seemed
wrestling
with
an
angel
but
turning
from
the
door
he
placed
the
death
tube
in
its
rack
and
left
the
place
hes
too
sound
asleep
mr
stubb
go
thou
down
and
wake
him
and
tell
him
i
must
see
to
the
deck
here
thou
knowst
what
to
say
next
morning
the
not
yet
subsided
sea
rolled
in
long
slow
billows
of
mighty
bulk
and
striving
in
the
pequods
gurgling
track
pushed
her
on
like
giants
palms
outspread
the
strong
unstaggering
breeze
abounded
so
that
sky
and
air
seemed
vast
outbellying
sails
the
whole
world
boomed
before
the
wind
muffled
in
the
full
morning
light
the
invisible
sun
was
only
known
by
the
spread
intensity
of
his
place
where
his
bayonet
rays
moved
on
in
stacks
emblazonings
as
of
crowned
babylonian
kings
and
queens
reigned
over
everything
the
sea
was
as
a
crucible
of
molten
gold
that
bubblingly
leaps
with
light
and
heat
long
maintaining
an
enchanted
silence
ahab
stood
apart
and
every
time
the
tetering
ship
loweringly
pitched
down
her
bowsprit
he
turned
to
eye
the
bright
suns
rays
produced
ahead
and
when
she
profoundly
settled
by
the
stern
he
turned
behind
and
saw
the
suns
rearward
place
and
how
the
same
yellow
rays
were
blending
with
his
undeviating
wake
ha
ha
my
ship
thou
mightest
well
be
taken
now
for
the
sea
chariot
of
the
sun
ho
ho
all
ye
nations
before
my
prow
i
bring
the
sun
to
ye
yoke
on
the
further
billows
hallo
a
tandem
i
drive
the
sea
but
suddenly
reined
back
by
some
counter
thought
he
hurried
towards
the
helm
huskily
demanding
how
the
ship
was
heading
east
sou
east
sir
said
the
frightened
steersman
thou
liest
smiting
him
with
his
clenched
fist
heading
east
at
this
hour
in
the
morning
and
the
sun
astern
upon
this
every
soul
was
confounded
for
the
phenomenon
just
then
observed
by
ahab
had
unaccountably
escaped
every
one
else
but
its
very
blinding
palpableness
must
have
been
the
cause
thrusting
his
head
half
way
into
the
binnacle
ahab
caught
one
glimpse
of
the
compasses
his
uplifted
arm
slowly
fell
for
a
moment
he
almost
seemed
to
stagger
standing
behind
him
starbuck
looked
and
lo
the
two
compasses
pointed
east
and
the
pequod
was
as
infallibly
going
west
but
ere
the
first
wild
alarm
could
get
out
abroad
among
the
crew
the
old
man
with
a
rigid
laugh
exclaimed
i
have
it
it
has
happened
before
mr
starbuck
last
nights
thunder
turned
our
compasses
thats
all
thou
hast
before
now
heard
of
such
a
thing
i
take
it
aye
but
never
before
has
it
happened
to
me
sir
said
the
pale
mate
gloomily
here
it
must
needs
be
said
that
accidents
like
this
have
in
more
than
one
case
occurred
to
ships
in
violent
storms
the
magnetic
energy
as
developed
in
the
mariners
needle
is
as
all
know
essentially
one
with
the
electricity
beheld
in
heaven
hence
it
is
not
to
be
much
marvelled
at
that
such
things
should
be
in
instances
where
the
lightning
has
actually
struck
the
vessel
so
as
to
smite
down
some
of
the
spars
and
rigging
the
effect
upon
the
needle
has
at
times
been
still
more
fatal
all
its
loadstone
virtue
being
annihilated
so
that
the
before
magnetic
steel
was
of
no
more
use
than
an
old
wifes
knitting
needle
but
in
either
case
the
needle
never
again
of
itself
recovers
the
original
virtue
thus
marred
or
lost
and
if
the
binnacle
compasses
be
affected
the
same
fate
reaches
all
the
others
that
may
be
in
the
ship
even
were
the
lowermost
one
inserted
into
the
kelson
deliberately
standing
before
the
binnacle
and
eyeing
the
transpointed
compasses
the
old
man
with
the
sharp
of
his
extended
hand
now
took
the
precise
bearing
of
the
sun
and
satisfied
that
the
needles
were
exactly
inverted
shouted
out
his
orders
for
the
ships
course
to
be
changed
accordingly
the
yards
were
hard
up
and
once
more
the
pequod
thrust
her
undaunted
bows
into
the
opposing
wind
for
the
supposed
fair
one
had
only
been
juggling
her
meanwhile
whatever
were
his
own
secret
thoughts
starbuck
said
nothing
but
quietly
he
issued
all
requisite
orders
while
stubb
and
flask
who
in
some
small
degree
seemed
then
to
be
sharing
his
feelings
likewise
unmurmuringly
acquiesced
as
for
the
men
though
some
of
them
lowly
rumbled
their
fear
of
ahab
was
greater
than
their
fear
of
fate
but
as
ever
before
the
pagan
harpooneers
remained
almost
wholly
unimpressed
or
if
impressed
it
was
only
with
a
certain
magnetism
shot
into
their
congenial
hearts
from
inflexible
ahabs
for
a
space
the
old
man
walked
the
deck
in
rolling
reveries
but
chancing
to
slip
with
his
ivory
heel
he
saw
the
crushed
copper
sight
tubes
of
the
quadrant
he
had
the
day
before
dashed
to
the
deck
thou
poor
proud
heaven
gazer
and
suns
pilot
yesterday
i
wrecked
thee
and
to
day
the
compasses
would
feign
have
wrecked
me
so
so
but
ahab
is
lord
over
the
level
load
stone
yet
mr
starbuck
a
lance
without
a
pole
a
top
maul
and
the
smallest
of
the
sail
makers
needles
quick
accessory
perhaps
to
the
impulse
dictating
the
thing
he
was
now
about
to
do
were
certain
prudential
motives
whose
object
might
have
been
to
revive
the
spirits
of
his
crew
by
a
stroke
of
his
subtile
skill
in
a
matter
so
wondrous
as
that
of
the
inverted
compasses
besides
the
old
man
well
knew
that
to
steer
by
transpointed
needles
though
clumsily
practicable
was
not
a
thing
to
be
passed
over
by
superstitious
sailors
without
some
shudderings
and
evil
portents
men
said
he
steadily
turning
upon
the
crew
as
the
mate
handed
him
the
things
he
had
demanded
my
men
the
thunder
turned
old
ahabs
needles
but
out
of
this
bit
of
steel
ahab
can
make
one
of
his
own
that
will
point
as
true
as
any
abashed
glances
of
servile
wonder
were
exchanged
by
the
sailors
as
this
was
said
and
with
fascinated
eyes
they
awaited
whatever
magic
might
follow
but
starbuck
looked
away
with
a
blow
from
the
top
maul
ahab
knocked
off
the
steel
head
of
the
lance
and
then
handing
to
the
mate
the
long
iron
rod
remaining
bade
him
hold
it
upright
without
its
touching
the
deck
then
with
the
maul
after
repeatedly
smiting
the
upper
end
of
this
iron
rod
he
placed
the
blunted
needle
endwise
on
the
top
of
it
and
less
strongly
hammered
that
several
times
the
mate
still
holding
the
rod
as
before
then
going
through
some
small
strange
motions
with
it
whether
indispensable
to
the
magnetizing
of
the
steel
or
merely
intended
to
augment
the
awe
of
the
crew
is
uncertain
he
called
for
linen
thread
and
moving
to
the
binnacle
slipped
out
the
two
reversed
needles
there
and
horizontally
suspended
the
sail
needle
by
its
middle
over
one
of
the
compass
cards
at
first
the
steel
went
round
and
round
quivering
and
vibrating
at
either
end
but
at
last
it
settled
to
its
place
when
ahab
who
had
been
intently
watching
for
this
result
stepped
frankly
back
from
the
binnacle
and
pointing
his
stretched
arm
towards
it
exclaimed
look
ye
for
yourselves
if
ahab
be
not
the
lord
of
the
level
loadstone
the
sun
is
east
and
that
compass
swears
it
one
after
another
they
peered
in
for
nothing
but
their
own
eyes
could
persuade
such
ignorance
as
theirs
and
one
after
another
they
slunk
away
in
his
fiery
eyes
of
scorn
and
triumph
you
then
saw
ahab
in
all
his
fatal
pride
while
now
the
fated
pequod
had
been
so
long
afloat
this
voyage
the
log
and
line
had
but
very
seldom
been
in
use
owing
to
a
confident
reliance
upon
other
means
of
determining
the
vessels
place
some
merchantmen
and
many
whalemen
especially
when
cruising
wholly
neglect
to
heave
the
log
though
at
the
same
time
and
frequently
more
for
forms
sake
than
anything
else
regularly
putting
down
upon
the
customary
slate
the
course
steered
by
the
ship
as
well
as
the
presumed
average
rate
of
progression
every
hour
it
had
been
thus
with
the
pequod
the
wooden
reel
and
angular
log
attached
hung
long
untouched
just
beneath
the
railing
of
the
after
bulwarks
rains
and
spray
had
damped
it
the
sun
and
wind
had
warped
it
all
the
elements
had
combined
to
rot
a
thing
that
hung
so
idly
but
heedless
of
all
this
his
mood
seized
ahab
as
he
happened
to
glance
upon
the
reel
not
many
hours
after
the
magnet
scene
and
he
remembered
how
his
quadrant
was
no
more
and
recalled
his
frantic
oath
about
the
level
log
and
line
the
ship
was
sailing
plungingly
astern
the
billows
rolled
in
riots
forward
there
heave
the
log
two
seamen
came
the
golden
hued
tahitian
and
the
grizzly
manxman
take
the
reel
one
of
ye
ill
heave
they
went
towards
the
extreme
stern
on
the
ships
lee
side
where
the
deck
with
the
oblique
energy
of
the
wind
was
now
almost
dipping
into
the
creamy
sidelong
rushing
sea
the
manxman
took
the
reel
and
holding
it
high
up
by
the
projecting
handle
ends
of
the
spindle
round
which
the
spool
of
line
revolved
so
stood
with
the
angular
log
hanging
downwards
till
ahab
advanced
to
him
ahab
stood
before
him
and
was
lightly
unwinding
some
thirty
or
forty
turns
to
form
a
preliminary
hand
coil
to
toss
overboard
when
the
old
manxman
who
was
intently
eyeing
both
him
and
the
line
made
bold
to
speak
sir
i
mistrust
it
this
line
looks
far
gone
long
heat
and
wet
have
spoiled
it
twill
hold
old
gentleman
long
heat
and
wet
have
they
spoiled
thee
thou
seemst
to
hold
or
truer
perhaps
life
holds
thee
not
thou
it
i
hold
the
spool
sir
but
just
as
my
captain
says
with
these
grey
hairs
of
mine
tis
not
worth
while
disputing
specially
with
a
superior
wholl
neer
confess
whats
that
there
nows
a
patched
professor
in
queen
natures
granite
founded
college
but
methinks
hes
too
subservient
where
wert
thou
born
in
the
little
rocky
isle
of
man
sir
excellent
thoust
hit
the
world
by
that
i
know
not
sir
but
i
was
born
there
in
the
isle
of
man
hey
well
the
other
way
its
good
heres
a
man
from
man
a
man
born
in
once
independent
man
and
now
unmanned
of
man
which
is
sucked
in
by
what
up
with
the
reel
the
dead
blind
wall
butts
all
inquiring
heads
at
last
up
with
it
so
the
log
was
heaved
the
loose
coils
rapidly
straightened
out
in
a
long
dragging
line
astern
and
then
instantly
the
reel
began
to
whirl
in
turn
jerkingly
raised
and
lowered
by
the
rolling
billows
the
towing
resistance
of
the
log
caused
the
old
reelman
to
stagger
strangely
hold
hard
snap
the
overstrained
line
sagged
down
in
one
long
festoon
the
tugging
log
was
gone
i
crush
the
quadrant
the
thunder
turns
the
needles
and
now
the
mad
sea
parts
the
log
line
but
ahab
can
mend
all
haul

there
he
goes
now
to

to
me
the
skewer

loosening
out
of
the
middle
of
the
world

perhaps

yet
full
of

sweet

gratitude
come
i
feel
prouder
leading
thee
by
thy
black
hand
than
though
i
grasped
an
emperors
there
go
two
daft
ones
now
muttered
the
old
manxman
one
daft
with
strength
the
other
daft
with
weakness
but
heres
the
end
of
the
rotten
line
all
dripping
too
mend
it
eh
i
think
we
had
best
have
a
new
line
altogether
ill
see
mr
stubb
about
it
steering
now
south
eastward
by
ahabs
levelled
steel
and
her
progress
solely
determined
by
ahabs
level
log
and
line
the
pequod
held
on
her
path
towards
the
equator
making
so
long
a
passage
through
such
unfrequented
waters
descrying
no
ships
and
ere
long
sideways
impelled
by
unvarying
trade
winds
over
waves
monotonously
mild
all
these
seemed
the
strange
calm
things
preluding
some
riotous
and
desperate
scene
at
last
when
the
ship
drew
near
to
the
outskirts
as
it
were
of
the
equatorial
fishing
ground
and
in
the
deep
darkness
that
goes
before
the
dawn
was
sailing
by
a
cluster
of
rocky
islets
the
watch
then
headed
by
flask
was
startled
by
a
cry
so
plaintively
wild
and
unearthly
like
half
articulated
wailings
of
the
ghosts
of
all
herods
murdered
innocents
that
one
and
all
they
started
from
their
reveries
and
for
the
space
of
some
moments
stood
or
sat
or
leaned
all
transfixedly
listening
like
the
carved
roman
slave
while
that
wild
cry
remained
within
hearing
the
christian
or
civilized
part
of
the
crew
said
it
was
mermaids
and
shuddered
but
the
pagan
harpooneers
remained
unappalled
yet
the
grey
manxman
the
oldest
mariner
of
all
declared
that
the
wild
thrilling
sounds
that
were
heard
were
the
voices
of
newly
drowned
men
in
the
sea
below
in
his
hammock
ahab
did
not
hear
of
this
till
grey
dawn
when
he
came
to
the
deck
it
was
then
recounted
to
him
by
flask
not
unaccompanied
with
hinted
dark
meanings
he
hollowly
laughed
and
thus
explained
the
wonder
those
rocky
islands
the
ship
had
passed
were
the
resort
of
great
numbers
of
seals
and
some
young
seals
that
had
lost
their
dams
or
some
dams
that
had
lost
their
cubs
must
have
risen
nigh
the
ship
and
kept
company
with
her
crying
and
sobbing
with
their
human
sort
of
wail
but
this
only
the
more
affected
some
of
them
because
most
mariners
cherish
a
very
superstitious
feeling
about
seals
arising
not
only
from
their
peculiar
tones
when
in
distress
but
also
from
the
human
look
of
their
round
heads
and
semi
intelligent
faces
seen
peeringly
uprising
from
the
water
alongside
in
the
sea
under
certain
circumstances
seals
have
more
than
once
been
mistaken
for
men
but
the
bodings
of
the
crew
were
destined
to
receive
a
most
plausible
confirmation
in
the
fate
of
one
of
their
number
that
morning
at
sun
rise
this
man
went
from
his
hammock
to
his
mast
head
at
the
fore
and
whether
it
was
that
he
was
not
yet
half
waked
from
his
sleep
for
sailors
sometimes
go
aloft
in
a
transition
state
whether
it
was
thus
with
the
man
there
is
now
no
telling
but
be
that
as
it
may
he
had
not
been
long
at
his
perch
when
a
cry
was
heard
a
cry
and
a
rushing
and
looking
up
they
saw
a
falling
phantom
in
the
air
and
looking
down
a
little
tossed
heap
of
white
bubbles
in
the
blue
of
the
sea
the
life
buoy
a
long
slender
cask
was
dropped
from
the
stern
where
it
always
hung
obedient
to
a
cunning
spring
but
no
hand
rose
to
seize
it
and
the
sun
having
long
beat
upon
this
cask
it
had
shrunken
so
that
it
slowly
filled
and
the
parched
wood
also
filled
at
its
every
pore
and
the
studded
iron
bound
cask
followed
the
sailor
to
the
bottom
as
if
to
yield
him
his
pillow
though
in
sooth
but
a
hard
one
and
thus
the
first
man
of
the
pequod
that
mounted
the
mast
to
look
out
for
the
white
whale
on
the
white
whales
own
peculiar
ground
that
man
was
swallowed
up
in
the
deep
but
few
perhaps
thought
of
that
at
the
time
indeed
in
some
sort
they
were
not
grieved
at
this
event
at
least
as
a
portent
for
they
regarded
it
not
as
a
foreshadowing
of
evil
in
the
future
but
as
the
fulfilment
of
an
evil
already
presaged
they
declared
that
now
they
knew
the
reason
of
those
wild
shrieks
they
had
heard
the
night
before
but
again
the
old
manxman
said
nay
the
lost
life
buoy
was
now
to
be
replaced
starbuck
was
directed
to
see
to
it
but
as
no
cask
of
sufficient
lightness
could
be
found
and
as
in
the
feverish
eagerness
of
what
seemed
the
approaching
crisis
of
the
voyage
all
hands
were
impatient
of
any
toil
but
what
was
directly
connected
with
its
final
end
whatever
that
might
prove
to
be
therefore
they
were
going
to
leave
the
ships
stern
unprovided
with
a
buoy
when
by
certain
strange
signs
and
inuendoes
queequeg
hinted
a
hint
concerning
his
coffin
a
life
buoy
of
a
coffin
cried
starbuck
starting
rather
queer
that
i
should
say
said
stubb
it
will
make
a
good
enough
one
said
flask
the
carpenter
here
can
arrange
it
easily
bring
it
up
theres
nothing
else
for
it
said
starbuck
after
a
melancholy
pause
rig
it
carpenter
do
not
look
at
me
so
the
coffin
i
mean
dost
thou
hear
me
rig
it
and
shall
i
nail
down
the
lid
sir
moving

nothing
with
that
coffin
and
now
im
ordered
to
make
a
life
buoy
of
it
its
like
turning
an
old
coat
going
to
bring
the
flesh
on
the
other
side
now
i
dont
like
this
cobbling
sort
of
business
i
dont
like
it
at
all
its
undignified
its
not
my
place
let
tinkers
brats
do
tinkerings
we
are
their
betters
i
like
to
take
in
hand
none
but
clean
virgin
fair
and
square
mathematical
jobs
something
that
regularly
begins
at
the
beginning
and
is
at
the
middle
when
midway
and
comes
to
an
end
at
the
conclusion
not
a
cobblers
job
thats
at
an
end
in
the
middle
and
at
the
beginning
at
the
end
its
the
old
womans
tricks
to
be
giving
cobbling
jobs
lord
what
an
affection
all
old
women
have
for
tinkers
i
know
an
old
woman
of
sixty
five
who
ran
away
with
a
bald
headed
young
tinker
once
and
thats
the
reason
i
never
would
work
for
lonely
widow
old
women
ashore
when
i
kept
my
job
shop
in
the
vineyard
they
might
have
taken
it
into
their
lonely
old
heads
to
run
off
with
me
but
heigh
ho
there
are
no
caps
at
sea
but
snow
caps
let
me
see
nail
down
the
lid
caulk
the
seams
pay
over
the
same
with
pitch
batten
them
down
tight
and
hang
it
with
the
snap
spring
over
the
ships
stern
were
ever
such
things
done
before
with
a
coffin
some
superstitious
old
carpenters
now
would
be
tied
up
in
the
rigging
ere
they
would
do
the
job
but
im
made
of
knotty
aroostook
hemlock
i
dont
budge
cruppered
with
a
coffin
sailing
about
with
a
grave
yard
tray
but
never
mind
we
workers
in
woods
make
bridal
bedsteads
and
card
tables
as
well
as
coffins
and
hearses
we
work
by
the
month
or
by
the
job
or
by
the
profit
not
for
us
to
ask
the
why
and
wherefore
of
our
work
unless
it
be
too
confounded
cobbling
and
then
we
stash
it
if
we
can
hem
ill
do
the
job
now
tenderly
ill
have
me
lets
see
how
many
in
the
ships
company
all

but
ive
forgotten
any
way
ill
have
me
thirty
separate
turks
headed
life
lines
each
three
feet
long
hanging
all
round
to
the
coffin
then
if
the
hull
go
down
therell
be
thirty
lively
fellows
all
fighting
for
one
coffin
a
sight
not
seen
very
often
beneath
the
sun
come
hammer
calking
iron
pitch
pot
and
marling
spike
lets
to
it
the
coffin
laid
upon
two
line
tubs
between
the
vice
bench
and
the
open
hatchway
the
carpenter
calking
its
seams
the
string
of
twisted
oakum
slowly
unwinding
from
a
large
roll
of
it
placed
in
the
bosom
of
his
frock
ahab
comes
slowly
from
the
cabin
gangway
and
hears
pip
following
him
back
lad
i
will
be
with
ye
again
presently
he
goes
not
this
hand
complies
with
my
humor
more
genially
than
that
boy
middle
aisle
of
a
church
whats
here
life
buoy
sir
mr
starbucks
orders
oh
look
sir
beware
the
hatchway
thank
ye
man
thy
coffin
lies
handy
to
the
vault
sir
the
hatchway
oh
so
it
does
sir
so
it
does
art
not
thou
the
leg
maker
look
did
not
this
stump
come
from
thy
shop
i
believe
it
did
sir
does
the
ferrule
stand
sir
well
enough
but
art
thou
not
also
the
undertaker
aye
sir
i
patched
up
this
thing
here
as
a
coffin
for
queequeg
but
theyve
set
me
now
to
turning
it
into
something
else
then
tell
me
art
thou
not
an
arrant
all
grasping
inter
meddling
monopolizing
heathenish
old
scamp
to
be
one
day
making
legs
and
the
next
day
coffins
to
clap
them
in
and
yet
again
life
buoys
out
of
those
same
coffins
thou
art
as
unprincipled
as
the
gods
and
as
much
of
a
jack
of
all
trades
but
i
do
not
mean
anything
sir
i
do
as
i
do
the
gods
again
hark
ye
dost
thou
not
ever
sing
working
about
a
coffin
the
titans
they
say
hummed
snatches
when
chipping
out
the
craters
for
volcanoes
and
the
grave
digger
in
the
play
sings
spade
in
hand
dost
thou
never
sing
sir
do
i
sing
oh
im
indifferent
enough
sir
for
that
but
the
reason
why
the
grave
digger
made
music
must
have
been
because
there
was
none
in
his
spade
sir
but
the
calking
mallet
is
full
of
it
hark
to
it
aye
and
thats
because
the
lid
theres
a
sounding
board
and
what
in
all
things
makes
the
sounding
board
is
this
theres
naught
beneath
and
yet
a
coffin
with
a
body
in
it
rings
pretty
much
the
same
carpenter
hast
thou
ever
helped
carry
a
bier
and
heard
the
coffin
knock
against
the
churchyard
gate
going
in
faith
sir
ive
faith
whats
that
why
faith
sir
its
only
a
sort
of
exclamation
like
thats
all
sir
um
um
go
on
i
was
about
to
say
sir
that
art
thou
a
silk
worm
dost
thou
spin
thy
own
shroud
out
of
thyself
look
at
thy
bosom
despatch
and
get
these
traps
out
of
sight
he
goes
aft
that
was
sudden
now
but
squalls
come
sudden
in
hot
latitudes
ive
heard
that
the
isle
of
albemarle
one
of
the
gallipagos
is
cut
by
the
equator
right
in
the
middle
seems
to
me
some
sort
of
equator
cuts
yon
old
man
too
right
in
his
middle
hes
always
under
the
line
fiery
hot
i
tell
ye
hes
looking
this
way
come
oakum
quick
here
we
go
again
this
wooden
mallet
is
the
cork
and
im
the
professor
of
musical
glasses
tap
tap
ahab
to
himself
theres
a
sight
theres
sound
the
greyheaded
woodpecker
tapping
the
hollow
tree
blind
and
dumb
might
well
be
envied
now
see
that
thing
rests
on
two
line
tubs
full
of
tow
lines
a
most
malicious
wag
that
fellow
rat
tat
so
mans
seconds
tick
oh
how
immaterial
are
all
materials
what
things
real
are
there
but
imponderable
thoughts
here
nows
the
very
dreaded
symbol
of
grim
death
by
a
mere
hap
made
the
expressive
sign
of
the
help
and
hope
of
most
endangered
life
a
life
buoy
of
a
coffin
does
it
go
further
can
it
be
that
in
some
spiritual
sense
the
coffin
is
after
all
but
an
immortality
preserver
ill
think
of
that
but
no
so
far
gone
am
i
in
the
dark
side
of
earth
that
its
other
side
the
theoretic
bright
one
seems
but
uncertain
twilight
to
me
will
ye
never
have
done
carpenter
with
that
accursed
sound
i
go
below
let
me
not
see
that
thing
here
when
i
return
again
now
then
pip
well
talk
this
over
i
do
suck
most
wondrous
philosophies
from
thee
some
unknown
conduits
from
the
unknown
worlds
must
empty
into
thee
next
day
a
large
ship
the
rachel
was
descried
bearing
directly
down
upon
the
pequod
all
her
spars
thickly
clustering
with
men
at
the
time
the
pequod
was
making
good
speed
through
the
water
but
as
the
broad
winged
windward
stranger
shot
nigh
to
her
the
boastful
sails
all
fell
together
as
blank
bladders
that
are
burst
and
all
life
fled
from
the
smitten
hull
bad
news
she
brings
bad
news
muttered
the
old
manxman
but
ere
her
commander
who
with
trumpet
to
mouth
stood
up
in
his
boat
ere
he
could
hopefully
hail
ahabs
voice
was
heard
hast
seen
the
white
whale
aye
yesterday
have
ye
seen
a
whale
boat
adrift
throttling
his
joy
ahab
negatively
answered
this
unexpected
question
and
would
then
have
fain
boarded
the
stranger
when
the
stranger
captain
himself
having
stopped
his
vessels
way
was
seen
descending
her
side
a
few
keen
pulls
and
his
boat
hook
soon
clinched
the
pequods
main
chains
and
he
sprang
to
the
deck
immediately
he
was
recognized
by
ahab
for
a
nantucketer
he
knew
but
no
formal
salutation
was
exchanged
where
was
he
not
killed
not
killed
cried
ahab
closely
advancing
how
was
it
it
seemed
that
somewhat
late
on
the
afternoon
of
the
day
previous
while
three
of
the
strangers
boats
were
engaged
with
a
shoal
of
whales
which
had
led
them
some
four
or
five
miles
from
the
ship
and
while
they
were
yet
in
swift
chase
to
windward
the
white
hump
and
head
of
moby
dick
had
suddenly
loomed
up
out
of
the
blue
water
not
very
far
to
leeward
whereupon
the
fourth
rigged
boat
a
reserved
one
had
been
instantly
lowered
in
chase
after
a
keen
sail
before
the
wind
this
fourth
boat
the
swiftest
keeled
of
all
seemed
to
have
succeeded
in
fastening
at
least
as
well
as
the
man
at
the
mast
head
could
tell
anything
about
it
in
the
distance
he
saw
the
diminished
dotted
boat
and
then
a
swift
gleam
of
bubbling
white
water
and
after
that
nothing
more
whence
it
was
concluded
that
the
stricken
whale
must
have
indefinitely
run
away
with
his
pursuers
as
often
happens
there
was
some
apprehension
but
no
positive
alarm
as
yet
the
recall
signals
were
placed
in
the
rigging
darkness
came
on
and
forced
to
pick
up
her
three
far
to
windward
boats
ere
going
in
quest
of
the
fourth
one
in
the
precisely
opposite
direction
the
ship
had
not
only
been
necessitated
to
leave
that
boat
to
its
fate
till
near
midnight
but
for
the
time
to
increase
her
distance
from
it
but
the
rest
of
her
crew
being
at
last
safe
aboard
she
crowded
all
sail
stunsail
on
stunsail
after
the
missing
boat
kindling
a
fire
in
her
try
pots
for
a
beacon
and
every
other
man
aloft
on
the
look
out
but
though
when
she
had
thus
sailed
a
sufficient
distance
to
gain
the
presumed
place
of
the
absent
ones
when
last
seen
though
she
then
paused
to
lower
her
spare
boats
to
pull
all
around
her
and
not
finding
anything
had
again
dashed
on
again
paused
and
lowered
her
boats
and
though
she
had
thus
continued
doing
till
day
light
yet
not
the
least
glimpse
of
the
missing
keel
had
been
seen
the
story
told
the
stranger
captain
immediately
went
on
to
reveal
his
object
in
boarding
the
pequod
he
desired
that
ship
to
unite
with
his
own
in
the
search
by
sailing
over
the
sea
some
four
or
five
miles
apart
on
parallel
lines
and
so
sweeping
a
double
horizon
as
it
were
i
will
wager
something
now
whispered
stubb
to
flask
that
some
one
in
that
missing
boat
wore
off
that
captains
best
coat
mayhap
his
watch
hes
so
cursed
anxious
to
get
it
back
who
ever
heard
of
two
pious
whale
ships
cruising
after
one
missing
whale
boat
in
the
height
of
the
whaling
season
see
flask
only
see
how
pale
he
looks
pale
in
the
very
buttons
of
his
eyes
look
it
wasnt
the
coat
it
must
have
been
the
my
boy
my
own
boy
is
among
them
for
gods
sake
i
beg
i
conjure
here
exclaimed
the
stranger
captain
to
ahab
who
thus
far
had
but
icily
received
his
petition
for
eight
and
forty
hours
let
me
charter
your
ship
i
will
gladly
pay
for
it
and
roundly
pay
for
it
if
there
be
no
other
way
for
eight
and
forty
hours
only
only
that
you
must
oh
you
must
and
you
shall
do
this
thing
his
son
cried
stubb
oh
its
his
son
hes
lost
i
take
back
the
coat
and
watch
what
says
ahab
we
must
save
that
boy
hes
drowned
with
the
rest
on
em
last
night
said
the
old
manx
sailor
standing
behind
them
i
heard
all
of
ye
heard
their
spirits
now
as
it
shortly
turned
out
what
made
this
incident
of
the
rachels
the
more
melancholy
was
the
circumstance
that
not
only
was
one
of
the
captains
sons
among
the
number
of
the
missing
boats
crew
but
among
the
number
of
the
other
boats
crews
at
the
same
time
but
on
the
other
hand
separated
from
the
ship
during
the
dark
vicissitudes
of
the
chase
there
had
been
still
another
son
as
that
for
a
time
the
wretched
father
was
plunged
to
the
bottom
of
the
cruellest
perplexity
which
was
only
solved
for
him
by
his
chief
mates
instinctively
adopting
the
ordinary
procedure
of
a
whale
ship
in
such
emergencies
that
is
when
placed
between
jeopardized
but
divided
boats
always
to
pick
up
the
majority
first
but
the
captain
for
some
unknown
constitutional
reason
had
refrained
from
mentioning
all
this
and
not
till
forced
to
it
by
ahabs
iciness
did
he
allude
to
his
one
yet
missing
boy
a
little
lad
but
twelve
years
old
whose
father
with
the
earnest
but
unmisgiving
hardihood
of
a
nantucketers
paternal
love
had
thus
early
sought
to
initiate
him
in
the
perils
and
wonders
of
a
vocation
almost
immemorially
the
destiny
of
all
his
race
nor
does
it
unfrequently
occur
that
nantucket
captains
will
send
a
son
of
such
tender
age
away
from
them
for
a
protracted
three
or
four
years
voyage
in
some
other
ship
than
their
own
so
that
their
first
knowledge
of
a
whalemans
career
shall
be
unenervated
by
any
chance
display
of
a
fathers
natural
but
untimely
partiality
or
undue
apprehensiveness
and
concern
meantime
now
the
stranger
was
still
beseeching
his
poor
boon
of
ahab
and
ahab
still
stood
like
an
anvil
receiving
every
shock
but
without
the
least
quivering
of
his
own
i
will
not
go
said
the
stranger
till
you
say
aye
to
me
do
to
me
as
you
would
have
me
do
to
you
in
the
like
case
for
you
too
have
a
boy
captain
ahab
though
but
a
child
and
nestling
safely
at
home
now
a
child
of
your
old
age
too
yes
yes
you
relent
i
see
it
run
run
men
now
and
stand
by
to
square
in
the
yards
avast
cried
ahab
touch
not
a
rope
yarn
then
in
a
voice
that
prolongingly
moulded
every
word
captain
gardiner
i
will
not
do
it
even
now
i
lose
time
good
bye
good
bye
god
bless
ye
man
and
may
i
forgive
myself
but
i
must
go
mr
starbuck
look
at
the
binnacle
watch
and
in
three
minutes
from
this
present
instant
warn
off
all
strangers
then
brace
forward
again
and
let
the
ship
sail
as
before
hurriedly
turning
with
averted
face
he
descended
into
his
cabin
leaving
the
strange
captain
transfixed
at
this
unconditional
and
utter
rejection
of
his
so
earnest
suit
but
starting
from
his
enchantment
gardiner
silently
hurried
to
the
side
more
fell
than
stepped
into
his
boat
and
returned
to
his
ship
soon
the
two
ships
diverged
their
wakes
and
long
as
the
strange
vessel
was
in
view
she
was
seen
to
yaw
hither
and
thither
at
every
dark
spot
however
small
on
the
sea
this
way
and
that
her
yards
were
swung
round
starboard
and
larboard
she
continued
to
tack
now
she
beat
against
a
head
sea
and
again
it
pushed
her
before
it
while
all
the
while
her
masts
and
yards
were
thickly
clustered
with
men
as
three
tall
cherry
trees
when
the
boys
are
cherrying
among
the
boughs
but
by
her
still
halting
course
and
winding
woful
way
you
plainly
saw
that
this
ship
that
so
wept
with
spray
still
remained
without
comfort
she
was

our

but
here
ill

though
this
stern
strikes
rocks
and
they
bulge
through
and
oysters
come
to
join
me
and
now
that
at
the
proper
time
and
place
after
so
long
and
wide
a
preliminary
cruise
ahab
all
other
whaling
waters
swept
seemed
to
have
chased
his
foe
into
an
ocean
fold
to
slay
him
the
more
securely
there
now
that
he
found
himself
hard
by
the
very
latitude
and
longitude
where
his
tormenting
wound
had
been
inflicted
now
that
a
vessel
had
been
spoken
which
on
the
very
day
preceding
had
actually
encountered
moby
dick
and
now
that
all
his
successive
meetings
with
various
ships
contrastingly
concurred
to
show
the
demoniac
indifference
with
which
the
white
whale
tore
his
hunters
whether
sinning
or
sinned
against
now
it
was
that
there
lurked
a
something
in
the
old
mans
eyes
which
it
was
hardly
sufferable
for
feeble
souls
to
see
as
the
unsetting
polar
star
which
through
the
livelong
arctic
six
months
night
sustains
its
piercing
steady
central
gaze
so
ahabs
purpose
now
fixedly
gleamed
down
upon
the
constant
midnight
of
the
gloomy
crew
it
domineered
above
them
so
that
all
their
bodings
doubts
misgivings
fears
were
fain
to
hide
beneath
their
souls
and
not
sprout
forth
a
single
spear
or
leaf
in
this
foreshadowing
interval
too
all
humor
forced
or
natural
vanished
stubb
no
more
strove
to
raise
a
smile
starbuck
no
more
strove
to
check
one
alike
joy
and
sorrow
hope
and
fear
seemed
ground
to
finest
dust
and
powdered
for
the
time
in
the
clamped
mortar
of
ahabs
iron
soul
like
machines
they
dumbly
moved
about
the
deck
ever
conscious
that
the
old
mans
despot
eye
was
on
them
but
did
you
deeply
scan
him
in
his
more
secret
confidential
hours
when
he
thought
no
glance
but
one
was
on
him
then
you
would
have
seen
that
even
as
ahabs
eyes
so
awed
the
crews
the
inscrutable
parsees
glance
awed
his
or
somehow
at
least
in
some
wild
way
at
times
affected
it
such
an
added
gliding
strangeness
began
to
invest
the
thin
fedallah
now
such
ceaseless
shudderings
shook
him
that
the
men
looked
dubious
at
him
half
uncertain
as
it
seemed
whether
indeed
he
were
a
mortal
substance
or
else
a
tremulous
shadow
cast
upon
the
deck
by
some
unseen
beings
body
and
that
shadow
was
always
hovering
there
for
not
by
night
even
had
fedallah
ever
certainly
been
known
to
slumber
or
go
below
he
would
stand
still
for
hours
but
never
sat
or
leaned
his
wan
but
wondrous
eyes
did
plainly
say
we
two
watchmen
never
rest
nor
at
any
time
by
night
or
day
could
the
mariners
now
step
up
the
deck
unless
ahab
was
before
them
either
standing
in
his
pivot
hole
or
exactly
pacing
the
planks
between
two
undeviating
limits
the
main
mast
and
the
mizen
or
else
they
saw
him
standing
in
the
cabin
scuttle
his
living
foot
advanced
upon
the
deck
as
if
to
step
his
hat
slouched
heavily
over
his
eyes
so
that
however
motionless
he
stood
however
the
days
and
nights
were
added
on
that
he
had
not
swung
in
his
hammock
yet
hidden
beneath
that
slouching
hat
they
could
never
tell
unerringly
whether
for
all
this
his
eyes
were
really
closed
at
times
or
whether
he
was
still
intently
scanning
them
no
matter
though
he
stood
so
in
the
scuttle
for
a
whole
hour
on
the
stretch
and
the
unheeded
night
damp
gathered
in
beads
of
dew
upon
that
stone
carved
coat
and
hat
the
clothes
that
the
night
had
wet
the
next
days
sunshine
dried
upon
him
and
so
day
after
day
and
night
after
night
he
went
no
more
beneath
the
planks
whatever
he
wanted
from
the
cabin
that
thing
he
sent
for
he
ate
in
the
same
open
air
that
is
his
two
only
meals
breakfast
and
dinner
supper
he
never
touched
nor
reaped
his
beard
which
darkly
grew
all
gnarled
as
unearthed
roots
of
trees
blown
over
which
still
grow
idly
on
at
naked
base
though
perished
in
the
upper
verdure
but
though
his
whole
life
was
now
become
one
watch
on
deck
and
though
the
parsees
mystic
watch
was
without
intermission
as
his
own
yet
these
two
never
seemed
to
speak
one
man
to
the
other
unless
at
long
intervals
some
passing
unmomentous
matter
made
it
necessary
though
such
a
potent
spell
seemed
secretly
to
join
the
twain
openly
and
to
the
awe
struck
crew
they
seemed
pole
like
asunder
if
by
day
they
chanced
to
speak
one
word
by
night
dumb
men
were
both
so
far
as
concerned
the
slightest
verbal
interchange
at
times
for
longest
hours
without
a
single
hail
they
stood
far
parted
in
the
starlight
ahab
in
his
scuttle
the
parsee
by
the
mainmast
but
still
fixedly
gazing
upon
each
other
as
if
in
the
parsee
ahab
saw
his
forethrown
shadow
in
ahab
the
parsee
his
abandoned
substance
and
yet
somehow
did
ahab
in
his
own
proper
self
as
daily
hourly
and
every
instant
commandingly
revealed
to
his
subordinates
ahab
seemed
an
independent
lord
the
parsee
but
his
slave
still
again
both
seemed
yoked
together
and
an
unseen
tyrant
driving
them
the
lean
shade
siding
the
solid
rib
for
be
this
parsee
what
he
may
all
rib
and
keel
was
solid
ahab
at
the
first
faintest
glimmering
of
the
dawn
his
iron
voice
was
heard
from
aft
man
the
mast
heads
and
all
through
the
day
till
after
sunset
and
after
twilight
the
same
voice
every
hour
at
the
striking
of
the
helmsmans
bell
was
heard
what
dye
see
sharp
sharp
but
when
three
or
four
days
had
slided
by
after
meeting
the
children
seeking
rachel
and
no
spout
had
yet
been
seen
the
monomaniac
old
man
seemed
distrustful
of
his
crews
fidelity
at
least
of
nearly
all
except
the
pagan
harpooneers
he
seemed
to
doubt
even
whether
stubb
and
flask
might
not
willingly
overlook
the
sight
he
sought
but
if
these
suspicions
were
really
his
he
sagaciously
refrained
from
verbally
expressing
them
however
his
actions
might
seem
to
hint
them
i
will
have
the
first
sight
of
the
whale
myself
he
said
aye
ahab
must
have
the
doubloon
and
with
his
own
hands
he
rigged
a
nest
of
basketed
bowlines
and
sending
a
hand
aloft
with
a
single
sheaved
block
to
secure
to
the
main
mast
head
he
received
the
two
ends
of
the
downward
reeved
rope
and
attaching
one
to
his
basket
prepared
a
pin
for
the
other
end
in
order
to
fasten
it
at
the
rail
this
done
with
that
end
yet
in
his
hand
and
standing
beside
the
pin
he
looked
round
upon
his
crew
sweeping
from
one
to
the
other
pausing
his
glance
long
upon
daggoo
queequeg
tashtego
but
shunning
fedallah
and
then
settling
his
firm
relying
eye
upon
the
chief
mate
said
take
the
rope
sir
i
give
it
into
thy
hands
starbuck
then
arranging
his
person
in
the
basket
he
gave
the
word
for
them
to
hoist
him
to
his
perch
starbuck
being
the
one
who
secured
the
rope
at
last
and
afterwards
stood
near
it
and
thus
with
one
hand
clinging
round
the
royal
mast
ahab
gazed
abroad
upon
the
sea
for
miles
and
miles
ahead
astern
this
side
and
that
within
the
wide
expanded
circle
commanded
at
so
great
a
height
when
in
working
with
his
hands
at
some
lofty
almost
isolated
place
in
the
rigging
which
chances
to
afford
no
foothold
the
sailor
at
sea
is
hoisted
up
to
that
spot
and
sustained
there
by
the
rope
under
these
circumstances
its
fastened
end
on
deck
is
always
given
in
strict
charge
to
some
one
man
who
has
the
special
watch
of
it
because
in
such
a
wilderness
of
running
rigging
whose
various
different
relations
aloft
cannot
always
be
infallibly
discerned
by
what
is
seen
of
them
at
the
deck
and
when
the
deck
ends
of
these
ropes
are
being
every
few
minutes
cast
down
from
the
fastenings
it
would
be
but
a
natural
fatality
if
unprovided
with
a
constant
watchman
the
hoisted
sailor
should
by
some
carelessness
of
the
crew
be
cast
adrift
and
fall
all
swooping
to
the
sea
so
ahabs
proceedings
in
this
matter
were
not
unusual
the
only
strange
thing
about
them
seemed
to
be
that
starbuck
almost
the
one
only
man
who
had
ever
ventured
to
oppose
him
with
anything
in
the
slightest
degree
approaching
to
decision
one
of
those
too
whose
faithfulness
on
the
look
out
he
had
seemed
to
doubt
somewhat
it
was
strange
that
this
was
the
very
man
he
should
select
for
his
watchman
freely
giving
his
whole
life
into
such
an
otherwise
distrusted
persons
hands
now
the
first
time
ahab
was
perched
aloft
ere
he
had
been
there
ten
minutes
one
of
those
red
billed
savage
sea
hawks
which
so
often
fly
incommodiously
close
round
the
manned
mast
heads
of
whalemen
in
these
latitudes
one
of
these
birds
came
wheeling
and
screaming
round
his
head
in
a
maze
of
untrackably
swift
circlings
then
it
darted
a
thousand
feet
straight
up
into
the
air
then
spiralized
downwards
and
went
eddying
again
round
his
head
but
with
his
gaze
fixed
upon
the
dim
and
distant
horizon
ahab
seemed
not
to
mark
this
wild
bird
nor
indeed
would
any
one
else
have
marked
it
much
it
being
no
uncommon
circumstance
only
now
almost
the
least
heedful
eye
seemed
to
see
some
sort
of
cunning
meaning
in
almost
every
sight
your
hat
your
hat
sir
suddenly
cried
the
sicilian
seaman
who
being
posted
at
the
mizen
mast
head
stood
directly
behind
ahab
though
somewhat
lower
than
his
level
and
with
a
deep
gulf
of
air
dividing
them
but
already
the
sable
wing
was
before
the
old
mans
eyes
the
long
hooked
bill
at
his
head
with
a
scream
the
black
hawk
darted
away
with
his
prize
an
eagle
flew
thrice
round
tarquins
head
removing
his
cap
to
replace
it
and
thereupon
tanaquil
his
wife
declared
that
tarquin
would
be
king
of
rome
but
only
by
the
replacing
of
the
cap
was
that
omen
accounted
good
ahabs
hat
was
never
restored
the
wild
hawk
flew
on
and
on
with
it
far
in
advance
of
the
prow
and
at
last
disappeared
while
from
the
point
of
that
disappearance
a
minute
black
spot
was
dimly
discerned
falling
from
that
vast
height
into
the
sea
the
intense
pequod
sailed
on
the
rolling
waves
and
days
went
by
the
life
buoy
coffin
still
lightly
swung
and
another
ship
most
miserably
misnamed
the
delight
was
descried
as
she
drew
nigh
all
eyes
were
fixed
upon
her
broad
beams
called
shears
which
in
some
whaling
ships
cross
the
quarter
deck
at
the
height
of
eight
or
nine
feet
serving
to
carry
the
spare
unrigged
or
disabled
boats
upon
the
strangers
shears
were
beheld
the
shattered
white
ribs
and
some
few
splintered
planks
of
what
had
once
been
a
whale
boat
but
you
now
saw
through
this
wreck
as
plainly
as
you
see
through
the
peeled
half
unhinged
and
bleaching
skeleton
of
a
horse
hast
seen
the
white
whale
look
replied
the
hollow
cheeked
captain
from
his
taffrail
and
with
his
trumpet
he
pointed
to
the
wreck
hast
killed
him
the
harpoon
is
not
yet
forged
that
will
ever
do
that
answered
the
other
sadly
glancing
upon
a
rounded
hammock
on
the
deck
whose
gathered
sides
some
noiseless
sailors
were
busy
in
sewing
together
not
forged
and
snatching
perths
levelled
iron
from
the
crotch
ahab
held
it
out
exclaiming
look
ye
nantucketer
here
in
this
hand
i
hold
his
death
tempered
in
blood
and
tempered
by
lightning
are
these
barbs
and
i
swear
to
temper
them
triply
in
that
hot
place
behind
the
fin
where
the
white
whale
most
feels
his
accursed
life
then
god
keep
thee
old
man
seest
thou
that
pointing
to
the
hammock
i
bury
but
one
of
five
stout
men
who
were
alive
only
yesterday
but
were
dead
ere
night
only
that
one
i
bury
the
rest
were
buried
before
they
died
you
sail
upon
their
tomb
then
turning
to
his
crew
are
ye
ready
there
place
the
plank
then
on
the
rail
and
lift
the
body
so
then
oh
god
advancing
towards
the
hammock
with
uplifted
hands
may
the
resurrection
and
the
life
brace
forward
up
helm
cried
ahab
like
lightning
to
his
men
but
the
suddenly
started
pequod
was
not
quick
enough
to
escape
the
sound
of
the
splash
that
the
corpse
soon
made
as
it
struck
the
sea
not
so
quick
indeed
but
that
some
of
the
flying
bubbles
might
have
sprinkled
her
hull
with
their
ghostly
baptism
as
ahab
now
glided
from
the
dejected
delight
the
strange
life
buoy
hanging
at
the
pequods
stern
came
into
conspicuous
relief
ha
yonder
look
yonder
men
cried
a
foreboding
voice
in
her
wake
in
vain
oh
ye
strangers
ye
fly
our
sad
burial
ye
but
turn
us
your
taffrail
to
show
us
your
coffin
it
was
a
clear
steel
blue
day
the
firmaments
of
air
and
sea
were
hardly
separable
in
that
all
pervading
azure
only
the
pensive
air
was
transparently
pure
and
soft
with
a
womans
look
and
the
robust
and
man
like
sea
heaved
with
long
strong
lingering
swells
as
samsons
chest
in
his
sleep
hither
and
thither
on
high
glided
the
snow
white
wings
of
small
unspeckled
birds
these
were
the
gentle
thoughts
of
the
feminine
air
but
to
and
fro
in
the
deeps
far
down
in
the
bottomless
blue
rushed
mighty
leviathans
sword
fish
and
sharks
and
these
were
the
strong
troubled
murderous
thinkings
of
the
masculine
sea
but
though
thus
contrasting
within
the
contrast
was
only
in
shades
and
shadows
without
those
two
seemed
one
it
was
only
the
sex
as
it
were
that
distinguished
them
aloft
like
a
royal
czar
and
king
the
sun
seemed
giving
this
gentle
air
to
this
bold
and
rolling
sea
even
as
bride
to
groom
and
at
the
girdling
line
of
the
horizon
a
soft
and
tremulous
motion
most
seen
here
at
the
equator
denoted
the
fond
throbbing
trust
the
loving
alarms
with
which
the
poor
bride
gave
her
bosom
away
tied
up
and
twisted
gnarled
and
knotted
with
wrinkles
haggardly
firm
and
unyielding
his
eyes
glowing
like
coals
that
still
glow
in
the
ashes
of
ruin
untottering
ahab
stood
forth
in
the
clearness
of
the
morn
lifting
his
splintered
helmet
of
a
brow
to
the
fair
girls
forehead
of
heaven
oh
immortal
infancy
and
innocency
of
the
azure
invisible
winged
creatures
that
frolic
all
round
us
sweet
childhood
of
air
and
sky
how
oblivious
were
ye
of
old
ahabs
close
coiled
woe
but
so
have
i
seen
little
miriam
and
martha
laughing
eyed
elves
heedlessly
gambol
around
their
old
sire
sporting
with
the
circle
of
singed
locks
which
grew
on
the
marge
of
that
burnt
out
crater
of
his
brain
slowly
crossing
the
deck
from
the
scuttle
ahab
leaned
over
the
side
and
watched
how
his
shadow
in
the
water
sank
and
sank
to
his
gaze
the
more
and
the
more
that
he
strove
to
pierce
the
profundity
but
the
lovely
aromas
in
that
enchanted
air
did
at
last
seem
to
dispel
for
a
moment
the
cankerous
thing
in
his
soul
that
glad
happy
air
that
winsome
sky
did
at
last
stroke
and
caress
him
the
step
mother
world
so
long
cruel
forbidding
now
threw
affectionate
arms
round
his
stubborn
neck
and
did
seem
to
joyously
sob
over
him
as
if
over
one
that
however
wilful
and
erring
she
could
yet
find
it
in
her
heart
to
save
and
to
bless
from
beneath
his
slouched
hat
ahab
dropped
a
tear
into
the
sea
nor
did
all
the
pacific
contain
such
wealth
as
that
one
wee
drop
starbuck
saw
the
old
man
saw
him
how
he
heavily
leaned
over
the
side
and
he
seemed
to
hear
in
his
own
true
heart
the
measureless
sobbing
that
stole
out
of
the
centre
of
the
serenity
around
careful
not
to
touch
him
or
be
noticed
by
him
he
yet
drew
near
to
him
and
stood
there
ahab
turned
starbuck
sir
oh
starbuck
it
is
a
mild
mild
wind
and
a
mild
looking
sky
on
such
a
day
very
much
such
a
sweetness
as
this
i
struck
my
first
whale
a
boy
harpooneer
of
eighteen
forty
forty
forty
years
ago
ago
forty
years
of
continual
whaling
forty
years
of
privation
and
peril
and
storm
time
forty
years
on
the
pitiless
sea
for
forty
years
has
ahab
forsaken
the
peaceful
land
for
forty
years
to
make
war
on
the
horrors
of
the
deep
aye
and
yes
starbuck
out
of
those
forty
years
i
have
not
spent
three
ashore
when
i
think
of
this
life
i
have
led
the
desolation
of
solitude
it
has
been
the
masoned
walled
town
of
a
captains
exclusiveness
which
admits
but
small
entrance
to
any
sympathy
from
the
green
country
without
oh
weariness
heaviness
guinea
coast
slavery
of
solitary
command
when
i
think
of
all
this
only
half
suspected
not
so
keenly
known
to
me
before
and
how
for
forty
years
i
have
fed
upon
dry
salted
fare
fit
emblem
of
the
dry
nourishment
of
my
soul
when
the
poorest
landsman
has
had
fresh
fruit
to
his
daily
hand
and
broken
the
worlds
fresh
bread
to
my
mouldy
crusts
away
whole
oceans
away
from
that
young
girl
wife
i
wedded
past
fifty
and
sailed
for
cape
horn
the
next
day
leaving
but
one
dent
in
my
marriage
pillow
wife
wife
rather
a
widow
with
her
husband
alive
aye
i
widowed
that
poor
girl
when
i
married
her
starbuck
and
then
the
madness
the
frenzy
the
boiling
blood
and
the
smoking
brow
with
which
for
a
thousand
lowerings
old
ahab
has
furiously
foamingly
chased
his
prey
more
a
demon
than
a
man
aye
aye
what
a
forty
years
fool
fool
old
fool
has
old
ahab
been
why
this
strife
of
the
chase
why
weary
and
palsy
the
arm
at
the
oar
and
the
iron
and
the
lance
how
the
richer
or
better
is
ahab
now
behold
oh
starbuck
is
it
not
hard
that
with
this
weary
load
i
bear
one
poor
leg
should
have
been
snatched
from
under
me
here
brush
this
old
hair
aside
it
blinds
me
that
i
seem
to
weep
locks
so
grey
did
never
grow
but
from
out
some
ashes
but
do
i
look
very
old
so
very
very
old
starbuck
i
feel
deadly
faint
bowed
and
humped
as
though
i
were
adam
staggering
beneath
the
piled
centuries
since
paradise
god
god
god
crack
my
heart
stave
my
brain
mockery
mockery
bitter
biting
mockery
of
grey
hairs
have
i
lived
enough
joy
to
wear
ye
and
seem
and
feel
thus
intolerably
old
close
stand
close
to
me
starbuck
let
me
look
into
a
human
eye
it
is
better
than
to
gaze
into
sea
or
sky
better
than
to
gaze
upon
god
by
the
green
land
by
the
bright
hearth
stone
this
is
the
magic
glass
man
i
see
my
wife
and
my
child
in
thine
eye
no
no
stay
on
board
on
board

not
when
i
do
when
branded
ahab
gives
chase
to
moby
dick
that
hazard
shall
not
be
thine
no

with
the
far
away
home
i
see
in
that
eye
oh
my
captain
my
captain
noble
soul
grand
old
heart
after
all
why
should
any
one
give
chase
to
that
hated
fish
away
with
me
let
us
fly
these
deadly
waters
let
us
home
wife
and
child
too
are
starbucks
wife
and
child
of
his
brotherly
sisterly
play
fellow
youth
even
as
thine
sir
are
the
wife
and
child
of
thy
loving
longing
paternal
old
age
away
let
us
away
this
instant
let
me
alter
the
course
how
cheerily
how
hilariously
o
my
captain
would
we
bowl
on
our
way
to
see
old
nantucket
again
i
think
sir
they
have
some
such
mild
blue
days
even
as
this
in
nantucket
they
have
they
have
i
have
seen
them
some
summer
days
in
the
morning
about
this
time
yes
it
is
his
noon
nap
now
the
boy
vivaciously
wakes
sits
up
in
bed
and
his
mother
tells
him
of
me
of
cannibal
old
me
how
i
am
abroad
upon
the
deep
but
will
yet
come
back
to
dance
him
again
tis
my
mary
my
mary
herself
she
promised
that
my
boy
every
morning
should
be
carried
to
the
hill
to
catch
the
first
glimpse
of
his
fathers
sail
yes
yes
no
more
it
is
done
we
head
for
nantucket
come
my
captain
study
out
the
course
and
let
us
away
see
see
the
boys
face
from
the
window
the
boys
hand
on
the
hill
but
ahabs
glance
was
averted
like
a
blighted
fruit
tree
he
shook
and
cast
his
last
cindered
apple
to
the
soil
what
is
it
what
nameless
inscrutable
unearthly
thing
is
it
what
cozzening
hidden
lord
and
master
and
cruel
remorseless
emperor
commands
me
that
against
all
natural
lovings
and
longings
i
so
keep
pushing
and
crowding
and
jamming
myself
on
all
the
time
recklessly
making
me
ready
to
do
what
in
my
own
proper
natural
heart
i
durst
not
so
much
as
dare
is
ahab
ahab
is
it
i
god
or
who
that
lifts
this
arm
but
if
the
great
sun
move
not
of
himself
but
is
as
an
errand
boy
in
heaven
nor
one
single
star
can
revolve
but
by
some
invisible
power
how
then
can
this
one
small
heart
beat
this
one
small
brain
think
thoughts
unless
god
does
that
beating
does
that
thinking
does
that
living
and
not
i
by
heaven
man
we
are
turned
round
and
round
in
this
world
like
yonder
windlass
and
fate
is
the
handspike
and
all
the
time
lo
that
smiling
sky
and
this
unsounded
sea
look
see
yon
albicore
who
put
it
into
him
to
chase
and
fang
that
flying
fish
where
do
murderers
go
man
whos
to
doom
when
the
judge
himself
is
dragged
to
the
bar
but
it
is
a
mild
mild
wind
and
a
mild
looking
sky
and
the
air
smells
now
as
if
it
blew
from
a
far
away
meadow
they
have
been
making
hay
somewhere
under
the
slopes
of
the
andes
starbuck
and
the
mowers
are
sleeping
among
the
new
mown
hay
sleeping
aye
toil
we
how
we
may
we
all
sleep
at
last
on
the
field
sleep
aye
and
rust
amid
greenness
as
last
years
scythes
flung
down
and
left
in
the
half
cut
swaths
starbuck
but
blanched
to
a
corpses
hue
with
despair
the
mate
had
stolen
away
ahab
crossed
the
deck
to
gaze
over
on
the
other
side
but
started
at
two
reflected
fixed
eyes
in
the
water
there
fedallah
was
motionlessly
leaning
over
the
same
rail
that
night
in
the
mid
watch
when
the
old
man
as
his
wont
at
intervals
stepped
forth
from
the
scuttle
in
which
he
leaned
and
went
to
his
pivot
hole
he
suddenly
thrust
out
his
face
fiercely
snuffing
up
the
sea
air
as
a
sagacious
ships
dog
will
in
drawing
nigh
to
some
barbarous
isle
he
declared
that
a
whale
must
be
near
soon
that
peculiar
odor
sometimes
to
a
great
distance
given
forth
by
the
living
sperm
whale
was
palpable
to
all
the
watch
nor
was
any
mariner
surprised
when
after
inspecting
the
compass
and
then
the
dog
vane
and
then
ascertaining
the
precise
bearing
of
the
odor
as
nearly
as
possible
ahab
rapidly
ordered
the
ships
course
to
be
slightly
altered
and
the
sail
to
be
shortened
the
acute
policy
dictating
these
movements
was
sufficiently
vindicated
at
daybreak
by
the
sight
of
a
long
sleek
on
the
sea
directly
and
lengthwise
ahead
smooth
as
oil
and
resembling
in
the
pleated
watery
wrinkles
bordering
it
the
polished
metallic
like
marks
of
some
swift
tide
rip
at
the
mouth
of
a
deep
rapid
stream
man
the
mast
heads
call
all
hands
thundering
with
the
butts
of
three
clubbed
handspikes
on
the
forecastle
deck
daggoo
roused
the
sleepers
with
such
judgment
claps
that
they
seemed
to
exhale
from
the
scuttle
so
instantaneously
did
they
appear
with
their
clothes
in
their
hands
what
dye
see
cried
ahab
flattening
his
face
to
the
sky
nothing
nothing
sir
was
the
sound
hailing
down
in
reply
tgallant
sails
stunsails
alow
and
aloft
and
on
both
sides
all
sail
being
set
he
now
cast
loose
the
life
line
reserved
for
swaying
him
to
the
main
royal
mast
head
and
in
a
few
moments
they
were
hoisting
him
thither
when
while
but
two
thirds
of
the
way
aloft
and
while
peering
ahead
through
the
horizontal
vacancy
between
the
main
top
sail
and
top
gallant
sail
he
raised
a
gull
like
cry
in
the
air
there
she
blows
there
she
blows
a
hump
like
a
snow
hill
it
is
moby
dick
fired
by
the
cry
which
seemed
simultaneously
taken
up
by
the
three
look
outs
the
men
on
deck
rushed
to
the
rigging
to
behold
the
famous
whale
they
had
so
long
been
pursuing
ahab
had
now
gained
his
final
perch
some
feet
above
the
other
look
outs
tashtego
standing
just
beneath
him
on
the
cap
of
the
top
gallant
mast
so
that
the
indians
head
was
almost
on
a
level
with
ahabs
heel
from
this
height
the
whale
was
now
seen
some
mile
or
so
ahead
at
every
roll
of
the
sea
revealing
his
high
sparkling
hump
and
regularly
jetting
his
silent
spout
into
the
air
to
the
credulous
mariners
it
seemed
the
same
silent
spout
they
had
so
long
ago
beheld
in
the
moonlit
atlantic
and
indian
oceans
and
did
none
of
ye
see
it
before
cried
ahab
hailing
the
perched
men
all
around
him
i
saw
him
almost
that
same
instant
sir
that
captain
ahab
did
and
i
cried
out
said
tashtego
not
the
same
instant
not
the
same
no
the
doubloon

mine
fate
reserved
the
doubloon
for
me
i
only
none
of
ye
could
have
raised
the
white
whale
first
there
she
blows
there
she
blows
there
she
blows
there

there

he
cried
in
long
drawn
lingering
methodic
tones
attuned
to
the
gradual
prolongings
of
the

visible

hes
going
to

he
slid
through

heading
straight
to
leeward

cried

boats
boats
soon
all
the
boats
but
starbucks
were
dropped
all
the
boat
sails
set
all
the
paddles
plying
with
rippling
swiftness
shooting
to
leeward
and
ahab
heading
the
onset
a
pale
death
glimmer
lit
up
fedallahs
sunken
eyes
a
hideous
motion
gnawed
his
mouth
like
noiseless
nautilus
shells
their
light
prows
sped
through
the
sea
but
only
slowly
they
neared
the
foe
as
they
neared
him
the
ocean
grew
still
more
smooth
seemed
drawing
a
carpet
over
its
waves
seemed
a
noon
meadow
so
serenely
it
spread
at
length
the
breathless
hunter
came
so
nigh
his
seemingly
unsuspecting
prey
that
his
entire
dazzling
hump
was
distinctly
visible
sliding
along
the
sea
as
if
an
isolated
thing
and
continually
set
in
a
revolving
ring
of
finest
fleecy
greenish
foam
he
saw
the
vast
involved
wrinkles
of
the
slightly
projecting
head
beyond
before
it
far
out
on
the
soft
turkish
rugged
waters
went
the
glistening
white
shadow
from
his
broad
milky
forehead
a
musical
rippling
playfully
accompanying
the
shade
and
behind
the
blue
waters
interchangeably
flowed
over
into
the
moving
valley
of
his
steady
wake
and
on
either
hand
bright
bubbles
arose
and
danced
by
his
side
but
these
were
broken
again
by
the
light
toes
of
hundreds
of
gay
fowl
softly
feathering
the
sea
alternate
with
their
fitful
flight
and
like
to
some
flag
staff
rising
from
the
painted
hull
of
an
argosy
the
tall
but
shattered
pole
of
a
recent
lance
projected
from
the
white
whales
back
and
at
intervals
one
of
the
cloud
of
soft
toed
fowls
hovering
and
to
and
fro
skimming
like
a
canopy
over
the
fish
silently
perched
and
rocked
on
this
pole
the
long
tail
feathers
streaming
like
pennons
a
gentle
joyousness
a
mighty
mildness
of
repose
in
swiftness
invested
the
gliding
whale
not
the
white
bull
jupiter
swimming
away
with
ravished
europa
clinging
to
his
graceful
horns
his
lovely
leering
eyes
sideways
intent
upon
the
maid
with
smooth
bewitching
fleetness
rippling
straight
for
the
nuptial
bower
in
crete
not
jove
not
that
great
majesty
supreme
did
surpass
the
glorified
white
whale
as
he
so
divinely
swam
on
each
soft
side
coincident
with
the
parted
swell
that
but
once
leaving
him
then
flowed
so
wide
away
on
each
bright
side
the
whale
shed
off
enticings
no
wonder
there
had
been
some
among
the
hunters
who
namelessly
transported
and
allured
by
all
this
serenity
had
ventured
to
assail
it
but
had
fatally
found
that
quietude
but
the
vesture
of
tornadoes
yet
calm
enticing
calm
oh
whale
thou
glidest
on
to
all
who
for
the
first
time
eye
thee
no
matter
how
many
in
that
same
way
thou
mayst
have
bejuggled
and
destroyed
before
and
thus
through
the
serene
tranquillities
of
the
tropical
sea
among
waves
whose
hand
clappings
were
suspended
by
exceeding
rapture
moby
dick
moved
on
still
withholding
from
sight
the
full
terrors
of
his
submerged
trunk
entirely
hiding
the
wrenched
hideousness
of
his
jaw
but
soon
the
fore
part
of
him
slowly
rose
from
the
water
for
an
instant
his
whole
marbleized
body
formed
a
high
arch
like
virginias
natural
bridge
and
warningly
waving
his
bannered
flukes
in
the
air
the
grand
god
revealed
himself
sounded
and
went
out
of
sight
hoveringly
halting
and
dipping
on
the
wing
the
white
sea
fowls
longingly
lingered
over
the
agitated
pool
that
he
left
with
oars
apeak
and
paddles
down
the
sheets
of
their
sails
adrift
the
three
boats
now
stilly
floated
awaiting
moby
dicks
reappearance
an
hour
said
ahab
standing
rooted
in
his
boats
stern
and
he
gazed
beyond
the
whales
place
towards
the
dim
blue
spaces
and
wide
wooing
vacancies
to
leeward
it
was
only
an
instant
for
again
his
eyes
seemed
whirling
round
in
his
head
as
he
swept
the
watery
circle
the
breeze
now
freshened
the
sea
began
to
swell
the
birds
the
birds
cried
tashtego
in
long
indian
file
as
when
herons
take
wing
the
white
birds
were
now
all
flying
towards
ahabs
boat
and
when
within
a
few
yards
began
fluttering
over
the
water
there
wheeling
round
and
round
with
joyous
expectant
cries
their
vision
was
keener
than
mans
ahab
could
discover
no
sign
in
the
sea
but
suddenly
as
he
peered
down
and
down
into
its
depths
he
profoundly
saw
a
white
living
spot
no
bigger
than
a
white
weasel
with
wonderful
celerity
uprising
and
magnifying
as
it
rose
till
it
turned
and
then
there
were
plainly
revealed
two
long
crooked
rows
of
white
glistening
teeth
floating
up
from
the
undiscoverable
bottom
it
was
moby
dicks
open
mouth
and
scrolled
jaw
his
vast
shadowed
bulk
still
half
blending
with
the
blue
of
the
sea
the
glittering
mouth
yawned
beneath
the
boat
like
an
open
doored
marble
tomb
and
giving
one
side
long
sweep
with
his
steering
oar
ahab
whirled
the
craft
aside
from
this
tremendous
apparition
then
calling
upon
fedallah
to
change
places
with
him
went
forward
to
the
bows
and
seizing
perths
harpoon
commanded
his
crew
to
grasp
their
oars
and
stand
by
to
stern
now
by
reason
of
this
timely
spinning
round
the
boat
upon
its
axis
its
bow
by
anticipation
was
made
to
face
the
whales
head
while
yet
under
water
but
as
if
perceiving
this
strategem
moby
dick
with
that
malicious
intelligence
ascribed
to
him
sidelingly
transplanted
himself
as
it
were
in
an
instant
shooting
his
pleated
head
lengthwise
beneath
the
boat
through
and
through
through
every
plank
and
each
rib
it
thrilled
for
an
instant
the
whale
obliquely
lying
on
his
back
in
the
manner
of
a
biting
shark
slowly
and
feelingly
taking
its
bows
full
within
his
mouth
so
that
the
long
narrow
scrolled
lower
jaw
curled
high
up
into
the
open
air
and
one
of
the
teeth
caught
in
a
row
lock
the
bluish
pearl
white
of
the
inside
of
the
jaw
was
within
six
inches
of
ahabs
head
and
reached
higher
than
that
in
this
attitude
the
white
whale
now
shook
the
slight
cedar
as
a
mildly
cruel
cat
her
mouse
with
unastonished
eyes
fedallah
gazed
and
crossed
his
arms
but
the
tiger
yellow
crew
were
tumbling
over
each
others
heads
to
gain
the
uttermost
stern
and
now
while
both
elastic
gunwales
were
springing
in
and
out
as
the
whale
dallied
with
the
doomed
craft
in
this
devilish
way
and
from
his
body
being
submerged
beneath
the
boat
he
could
not
be
darted
at
from
the
bows
for
the
bows
were
almost
inside
of
him
as
it
were
and
while
the
other
boats
involuntarily
paused
as
before
a
quick
crisis
impossible
to
withstand
then
it
was
that
monomaniac
ahab
furious
with
this
tantalizing
vicinity
of
his
foe
which
placed
him
all
alive
and
helpless
in
the
very
jaws
he
hated
frenzied
with
all
this
he
seized
the
long
bone
with
his
naked
hands
and
wildly
strove
to
wrench
it
from
its
gripe
as
now
he
thus
vainly
strove
the
jaw
slipped
from
him
the
frail
gunwales
bent
in
collapsed
and
snapped
as
both
jaws
like
an
enormous
shears
sliding
further
aft
bit
the
craft
completely
in
twain
and
locked
themselves
fast
again
in
the
sea
midway
between
the
two
floating
wrecks
these
floated
aside
the
broken
ends
drooping
the
crew
at
the
stern
wreck
clinging
to
the
gunwales
and
striving
to
hold
fast
to
the
oars
to
lash
them
across
at
that
preluding
moment
ere
the
boat
was
yet
snapped
ahab
the
first
to
perceive
the
whales
intent
by
the
crafty
upraising
of
his
head
a
movement
that
loosed
his
hold
for
the
time
at
that
moment
his
hand
had
made
one
final
effort
to
push
the
boat
out
of
the
bite
but
only
slipping
further
into
the
whales
mouth
and
tilting
over
sideways
as
it
slipped
the
boat
had
shaken
off
his
hold
on
the
jaw
spilled
him
out
of
it
as
he
leaned
to
the
push
and
so
he
fell
flat
faced
upon
the
sea
ripplingly
withdrawing
from
his
prey
moby
dick
now
lay
at
a
little
distance
vertically
thrusting
his
oblong
white
head
up
and
down
in
the
billows
and
at
the
same
time
slowly
revolving
his
whole
spindled
body
so
that
when
his
vast
wrinkled
forehead
rose
some
twenty
or
more
feet
out
of
the
water
the
now
rising
swells
with
all
their
confluent
waves
dazzlingly
broke
against
it
vindictively
tossing
their
shivered
spray
still
higher
into
the
air
so
in
a
gale
the
but
half
baffled
channel
billows
only
recoil
from
the
base
of
the
eddystone
triumphantly
to
overleap
its
summit
with
their
scud
but
soon
resuming
his
horizontal
attitude
moby
dick
swam
swiftly
round
and
round
the
wrecked
crew
sideways
churning
the
water
in
his
vengeful
wake
as
if
lashing
himself
up
to
still
another
and
more
deadly
assault
the
sight
of
the
splintered
boat
seemed
to
madden
him
as
the
blood
of
grapes
and
mulberries
cast
before
antiochuss
elephants
in
the
book
of
maccabees
meanwhile
ahab
half
smothered
in
the
foam
of
the
whales
insolent
tail
and
too
much
of
a
cripple
to
swim
though
he
could
still
keep
afloat
even
in
the
heart
of
such
a
whirlpool
as
that
helpless
ahabs
head
was
seen
like
a
tossed
bubble
which
the
least
chance
shock
might
burst
from
the
boats
fragmentary
stern
fedallah
incuriously
and
mildly
eyed
him
the
clinging
crew
at
the
other
drifting
end
could
not
succor
him
more
than
enough
was
it
for
them
to
look
to
themselves
for
so
revolvingly
appalling
was
the
white
whales
aspect
and
so
planetarily
swift
the
ever
contracting
circles
he
made
that
he
seemed
horizontally
swooping
upon
them
and
though
the
other
boats
unharmed
still
hovered
hard
by
still
they
dared
not
pull
into
the
eddy
to
strike
lest
that
should
be
the
signal
for
the
instant
destruction
of
the
jeopardized
castaways
ahab
and
all
nor
in
that
case
could
they
themselves
hope
to
escape
with
straining
eyes
then
they
remained
on
the
outer
edge
of
the
direful
zone
whose
centre
had
now
become
the
old
mans
head
meantime
from
the
beginning
all
this
had
been
descried
from
the
ships
mast
heads
and
squaring
her
yards
she
had
borne
down
upon
the
scene
and
was
now
so
nigh
that
ahab
in
the
water
hailed
her
sail
on
the
but
that
moment
a
breaking
sea
dashed
on
him
from
moby
dick
and
whelmed
him
for
the
time
but
struggling
out
of
it
again
and
chancing
to
rise
on
a
towering
crest
he
shouted
sail
on
the
whale
drive
him
off
the
pequods
prows
were
pointed
and
breaking
up
the
charmed
circle
she
effectually
parted
the
white
whale
from
his
victim
as
he
sullenly
swam
off
the
boats
flew
to
the
rescue
dragged
into
stubbs
boat
with
blood
shot
blinded
eyes
the
white
brine
caking
in
his
wrinkles
the
long
tension
of
ahabs
bodily
strength
did
crack
and
helplessly
he
yielded
to
his
bodys
doom
for
a
time
lying
all
crushed
in
the
bottom
of
stubbs
boat
like
one
trodden
under
foot
of
herds
of
elephants
far
inland
nameless
wails
came
from
him
as
desolate
sounds
from
out
ravines
but
this
intensity
of
his
physical
prostration
did
but
so
much
the
more
abbreviate
it
in
an
instants
compass
great
hearts
sometimes
condense
to
one
deep
pang
the
sum
total
of
those
shallow
pains
kindly
diffused
through
feebler
mens
whole
lives
and
so
such
hearts
though
summary
in
each
one
suffering
still
if
the
gods
decree
it
in
their
life
time
aggregate
a
whole
age
of
woe
wholly
made
up
of
instantaneous
intensities
for
even
in
their
pointless
centres
those
noble
natures
contain
the
entire
circumferences
of
inferior
souls
the
harpoon
said
ahab
half
way
rising
and
draggingly
leaning
on
one
bended
arm
is
it
safe
aye
sir
for
it
was
not
darted
this
is
it
said
stubb
showing
it
lay
it
before
me
any
missing
men
one
two
three
four
five
there
were
five
oars
sir
and
here
are
five
men
thats
good
help
me
man
i
wish
to
stand
so
so
i
see
him
there
there
going
to
leeward
still
what
a
leaping
spout
hands
off
from
me
the
eternal
sap
runs
up
in
ahabs
bones
again
set
the
sail
out
oars
the
helm
it
is
often
the
case
that
when
a
boat
is
stove
its
crew
being
picked
up
by
another
boat
help
to
work
that
second
boat
and
the
chase
is
thus
continued
with
what
is
called
double
banked
oars
it
was
thus
now
but
the
added
power
of
the
boat
did
not
equal
the
added
power
of
the
whale
for
he
seemed
to
have
treble
banked
his
every
fin
swimming
with
a
velocity
which
plainly
showed
that
if
now
under
these
circumstances
pushed
on
the
chase
would
prove
an
indefinitely
prolonged
if
not
a
hopeless
one
nor
could
any
crew
endure
for
so
long
a
period
such
an
unintermitted
intense
straining
at
the
oar
a
thing
barely
tolerable
only
in
some
one
brief
vicissitude
the
ship
itself
then
as
it
sometimes
happens
offered
the
most
promising
intermediate
means
of
overtaking
the
chase
accordingly
the
boats
now
made
for
her
and
were
soon
swayed
up
to
their
cranes
the
two
parts
of
the
wrecked
boat
having
been
previously
secured
by
her
and
then
hoisting
everything
to
her
side
and
stacking
her
canvas
high
up
and
sideways
outstretching
it
with
stun
sails
like
the
double
jointed
wings
of
an
albatross
the
pequod
bore
down
in
the
leeward
wake
of
moby
dick
at
the
well
known
methodic
intervals
the
whales
glittering
spout
was
regularly
announced
from
the
manned
mast
heads
and
when
he
would
be
reported
as
just
gone
down
ahab
would
take
the
time
and
then
pacing
the
deck
binnacle
watch
in
hand
so
soon
as
the
last
second
of
the
allotted
hour
expired
his
voice
was
heard
whose
is
the
doubloon
now
dye
see
him
and
if
the
reply
was
no
sir
straightway
he
commanded
them
to
lift
him
to
his
perch
in
this
way
the
day
wore
on
ahab
now
aloft
and
motionless
anon
unrestingly
pacing
the
planks
as
he
was
thus
walking
uttering
no
sound
except
to
hail
the
men
aloft
or
to
bid
them
hoist
a
sail
still
higher
or
to
spread
one
to
a
still
greater
breadth
thus
to
and
fro
pacing
beneath
his
slouched
hat
at
every
turn
he
passed
his
own
wrecked
boat
which
had
been
dropped
upon
the
quarter
deck
and
lay
there
reversed
broken
bow
to
shattered
stern
at
last
he
paused
before
it
and
as
in
an
already
over
clouded
sky
fresh
troops
of
clouds
will
sometimes
sail
across
so
over
the
old
mans
face
there
now
stole
some
such
added
gloom
as
this
stubb
saw
him
pause
and
perhaps
intending
not
vainly
though
to
evince
his
own
unabated
fortitude
and
thus
keep
up
a
valiant
place
in
his
captains
mind
he
advanced
and
eyeing
the
wreck
exclaimed
the
thistle
the
ass
refused
it
pricked
his
mouth
too
keenly
sir
ha
ha
what
soulless
thing
is
this
that

i
not
know
thee

thou
wert

nor

should
be
heard
before

aye
sir
said
starbuck
drawing
near
tis
a
solemn
sight
an
omen
and
an
ill
one
omen
omen
the

if
the

the
peopled
earth
nor

his
neighbors
cold
cold
i
shiver
how
now
aloft
there
dye
see
him
sing
out
for
every
spout
though
he
spout
ten
times
a
second
the
day
was
nearly
done
only
the
hem
of
his
golden
robe
was
rustling
soon
it
was
almost
dark
but
the
look
out
men
still
remained
unset
cant
see
the
spout
now
sir
too
dark
cried
a
voice
from
the
air
how
heading
when
last
seen
as
before
sir
straight
to
leeward
good
he
will
travel
slower
now
tis
night
down
royals
and
top
gallant
stun
sails
mr
starbuck
we
must
not
run
over
him
before
morning
hes
making
a
passage
now
and
may
heave
to
a
while
helm
there
keep
her
full
before
the

aloft
come
down
mr
stubb
send
a
fresh
hand
to
the
fore
mast
head
and
see
it
manned
till
morning
then
advancing
towards
the
doubloon
in
the
main
mast
men
this
gold
is
mine
for
i
earned
it
but
i
shall
let
it
abide
here
till
the
white
whale
is
dead
and
then
whosoever
of
ye
first
raises
him
upon
the
day
he
shall
be
killed
this

if
on

i
shall

then
ten
times
its
sum
shall
be
divided
among
all
of
ye
away
now
the
deck
is
thine
sir
and
so
saying
he
placed
himself
half
way
within
the
scuttle
and
slouching
his
hat
stood
there
till
dawn
except
when
at
intervals
rousing
himself
to
see
how
the
night
wore
on
this
motion
is
peculiar
to
the
sperm
whale
it
receives
its
designation
pitchpoling
from
its
being
likened
to
that
preliminary
up
and
down
poise
of
the
whale
lance
in
the
exercise
called
pitchpoling
previously
described
by
this
motion
the
whale
must
best
and
most
comprehensively
view
whatever
objects
may
be
encircling
him
at
day
break
the
three
mast
heads
were
punctually
manned
afresh
dye

him
cried
ahab
after
allowing
a
little
space
for
the
light
to
spread

nothing
sir
turn
up
all
hands
and
make
sail
he
travels
faster
than
i
thought
for
the
top
gallant
sails
aye
they
should
have
been
kept
on
her
all
night
but
no
matter
tis
but
resting
for
the
rush
here
be
it
said
that
this
pertinacious
pursuit
of
one
particular
whale
continued
through
day
into
night
and
through
night
into
day
is
a
thing
by
no
means
unprecedented
in
the
south
sea
fishery
for
such
is
the
wonderful
skill
prescience
of
experience
and
invincible
confidence
acquired
by
some
great
natural
geniuses
among
the
nantucket
commanders
that
from
the
simple
observation
of
a
whale
when
last
descried
they
will
under
certain
given
circumstances
pretty
accurately
foretell
both
the
direction
in
which
he
will
continue
to
swim
for
a
time
while
out
of
sight
as
well
as
his
probable
rate
of
progression
during
that
period
and
in
these
cases
somewhat
as
a
pilot
when
about
losing
sight
of
a
coast
whose
general
trending
he
well
knows
and
which
he
desires
shortly
to
return
to
again
but
at
some
further
point
like
as
this
pilot
stands
by
his
compass
and
takes
the
precise
bearing
of
the
cape
at
present
visible
in
order
the
more
certainly
to
hit
aright
the
remote
unseen
headland
eventually
to
be
visited
so
does
the
fisherman
at
his
compass
with
the
whale
for
after
being
chased
and
diligently
marked
through
several
hours
of
daylight
then
when
night
obscures
the
fish
the
creatures
future
wake
through
the
darkness
is
almost
as
established
to
the
sagacious
mind
of
the
hunter
as
the
pilots
coast
is
to
him
so
that
to
this
hunters
wondrous
skill
the
proverbial
evanescence
of
a
thing
writ
in
water
a
wake
is
to
all
desired
purposes
well
nigh
as
reliable
as
the
steadfast
land
and
as
the
mighty
iron
leviathan
of
the
modern
railway
is
so
familiarly
known
in
its
every
pace
that
with
watches
in
their
hands
men
time
his
rate
as
doctors
that
of
a
babys
pulse
and
lightly
say
of
it
the
up
train
or
the
down
train
will
reach
such
or
such
a
spot
at
such
or
such
an
hour
even
so
almost
there
are
occasions
when
these
nantucketers
time
that
other
leviathan
of
the
deep
according
to
the
observed
humor
of
his
speed
and
say
to
themselves
so
many
hours
hence
this
whale
will
have
gone
two
hundred
miles
will
have
about
reached
this
or
that
degree
of
latitude
or
longitude
but
to
render
this
acuteness
at
all
successful
in
the
end
the
wind
and
the
sea
must
be
the
whalemans
allies
for
of
what
present
avail
to
the
becalmed
or
windbound
mariner
is
the
skill
that
assures
him
he
is
exactly
ninety
three
leagues
and
a
quarter
from
his
port
inferable
from
these
statements
are
many
collateral
subtile
matters
touching
the
chase
of
whales
the
ship
tore
on
leaving
such
a
furrow
in
the
sea
as
when
a
cannon
ball
missent
becomes
a
plough
share
and
turns
up
the
level
field
by
salt
and
hemp
cried
stubb
but
this
swift
motion
of
the
deck
creeps
up
ones
legs
and
tingles
at
the
heart
this
ship
and
i
are
two
brave
fellows
ha
ha
some
one
take
me
up
and
launch
me
spine
wise
on
the
sea
for
by
live
oaks
my
spines
a
keel
ha
ha
we
go
the
gait
that
leaves
no
dust
behind
there
she
blows
she
blows
she
blows
right
ahead
was
now
the
mast
head
cry
aye
aye
cried
stubb
i
knew
it
ye
cant
escape
blow
on
and
split
your
spout
o
whale
the
mad
fiend
himself
is
after
ye
blow
your
trump
blister
your
lungs
ahab
will
dam
off
your
blood
as
a
miller
shuts
his
water
gate
upon
the
stream
and
stubb
did
but
speak
out
for
well
nigh
all
that
crew
the
frenzies
of
the
chase
had
by
this
time
worked
them
bubblingly
up
like
old
wine
worked
anew
whatever
pale
fears
and
forebodings
some
of
them
might
have
felt
before
these
were
not
only
now
kept
out
of
sight
through
the
growing
awe
of
ahab
but
they
were
broken
up
and
on
all
sides
routed
as
timid
prairie
hares
that
scatter
before
the
bounding
bison
the
hand
of
fate
had
snatched
all
their
souls
and
by
the
stirring
perils
of
the
previous
day
the
rack
of
the
past
nights
suspense
the
fixed
unfearing
blind
reckless
way
in
which
their
wild
craft
went
plunging
towards
its
flying
mark
by
all
these
things
their
hearts
were
bowled
along
the
wind
that
made
great
bellies
of
their
sails
and
rushed
the
vessel
on
by
arms
invisible
as
irresistible
this
seemed
the
symbol
of
that
unseen
agency
which
so
enslaved
them
to
the
race
they
were
one
man
not
thirty
for
as
the
one
ship
that
held
them
all
though
it
was
put
together
of
all
contrasting
things
oak
and
maple
and
pine
wood
iron
and
pitch
and
hemp
yet
all
these
ran
into
each
other
in
the
one
concrete
hull
which
shot
on
its
way
both
balanced
and
directed
by
the
long
central
keel
even
so
all
the
individualities
of
the
crew
this
mans
valor
that
mans
fear
guilt
and
guiltiness
all
varieties
were
welded
into
oneness
and
were
all
directed
to
that
fatal
goal
which
ahab
their
one
lord
and
keel
did
point
to
the
rigging
lived
the
mast
heads
like
the
tops
of
tall
palms
were
outspreadingly
tufted
with
arms
and
legs
clinging
to
a
spar
with
one
hand
some
reached
forth
the
other
with
impatient
wavings
others
shading
their
eyes
from
the
vivid
sunlight
sat
far
out
on
the
rocking
yards
all
the
spars
in
full
bearing
of
mortals
ready
and
ripe
for
their
fate
ah
how
they
still
strove
through
that
infinite
blueness
to
seek
out
the
thing
that
might
destroy
them
why
sing
ye
not
out
for
him
if
ye
see
him
cried
ahab
when
after
the
lapse
of
some
minutes
since
the
first
cry
no
more
had
been
heard
sway
me
up
men
ye
have
been
deceived
not
moby
dick
casts
one
odd
jet
that
way
and
then
disappears
it
was
even
so
in
their
headlong
eagerness
the
men
had
mistaken
some
other
thing
for
the
whale
spout
as
the
event
itself
soon
proved
for
hardly
had
ahab
reached
his
perch
hardly
was
the
rope
belayed
to
its
pin
on
deck
when
he
struck
the
key
note
to
an
orchestra
that
made
the
air
vibrate
as
with
the
combined
discharges
of
rifles
the
triumphant
halloo
of
thirty
buckskin
lungs
was
heard
as
much
nearer
to
the
ship
than
the
place
of
the
imaginary
jet
less
than
a
mile
ahead
moby
dick
bodily
burst
into
view
for
not
by
any
calm
and
indolent
spoutings
not
by
the
peaceable
gush
of
that
mystic
fountain
in
his
head
did
the
white
whale
now
reveal
his
vicinity
but
by
the
far
more
wondrous
phenomenon
of
breaching
rising
with
his
utmost
velocity
from
the
furthest
depths
the
sperm
whale
thus
booms
his
entire
bulk
into
the
pure
element
of
air
and
piling
up
a
mountain
of
dazzling
foam
shows
his
place
to
the
distance
of
seven
miles
and
more
in
those
moments
the
torn
enraged
waves
he
shakes
off
seem
his
mane
in
some
cases
this
breaching
is
his
act
of
defiance
there
she
breaches
there
she
breaches
was
the
cry
as
in
his
immeasureable
bravadoes
the
white
whale
tossed
himself
salmon
like
to
heaven
so
suddenly
seen
in
the
blue
plain
of
the
sea
and
relieved
against
the
still
bluer
margin
of
the
sky
the
spray
that
he
raised
for
the
moment
intolerably
glittered
and
glared
like
a
glacier
and
stood
there
gradually
fading
and
fading
away
from
its
first
sparkling
intensity
to
the
dim
mistiness
of
an
advancing
shower
in
a
vale
aye
breach
your
last
to
the
sun
moby
dick
cried
ahab
thy
hour
and
thy
harpoon
are
at
hand
down
down
all
of
ye
but
one
man
at
the
fore
the
boats
stand
by
unmindful
of
the
tedious
rope
ladders
of
the
shrouds
the
men
like
shooting
stars
slid
to
the
deck
by
the
isolated
back
stays
and
halyards
while
ahab
less
dartingly
but
still
rapidly
was
dropped
from
his
perch
lower
away
he
cried
so
soon
as
he
had
reached
his
boat
a
spare
one
rigged
the
afternoon
previous
mr
starbuck
the
ship
is
thine
keep
away
from
the
boats
but
keep
near
them
lower
all
as
if
to
strike
a
quick
terror
into
them
by
this
time
being
the
first
assailant
himself
moby
dick
had
turned
and
was
now
coming
for
the
three
crews
ahabs
boat
was
central
and
cheering
his
men
he
told
them
he
would
take
the
whale
head
and
head
that
is
pull
straight
up
to
his
forehead
a
not
uncommon
thing
for
when
within
a
certain
limit
such
a
course
excludes
the
coming
onset
from
the
whales
sidelong
vision
but
ere
that
close
limit
was
gained
and
while
yet
all
three
boats
were
plain
as
the
ships
three
masts
to
his
eye
the
white
whale
churning
himself
into
furious
speed
almost
in
an
instant
as
it
were
rushing
among
the
boats
with
open
jaws
and
a
lashing
tail
offered
appalling
battle
on
every
side
and
heedless
of
the
irons
darted
at
him
from
every
boat
seemed
only
intent
on
annihilating
each
separate
plank
of
which
those
boats
were
made
but
skilfully
manoeuvred
incessantly
wheeling
like
trained
chargers
in
the
field
the
boats
for
a
while
eluded
him
though
at
times
but
by
a
planks
breadth
while
all
the
time
ahabs
unearthly
slogan
tore
every
other
cry
but
his
to
shreds
but
at
last
in
his
untraceable
evolutions
the
white
whale
so
crossed
and
recrossed
and
in
a
thousand
ways
entangled
the
slack
of
the
three
lines
now
fast
to
him
that
they
foreshortened
and
of
themselves
warped
the
devoted
boats
towards
the
planted
irons
in
him
though
now
for
a
moment
the
whale
drew
aside
a
little
as
if
to
rally
for
a
more
tremendous
charge
seizing
that
opportunity
ahab
first
paid
out
more
line
and
then
was
rapidly
hauling
and
jerking
in
upon
it
again
hoping
that
way
to
disencumber
it
of
some
snarls
when
lo
a
sight
more
savage
than
the
embattled
teeth
of
sharks
caught
and
twisted
corkscrewed
in
the
mazes
of
the
line
loose
harpoons
and
lances
with
all
their
bristling
barbs
and
points
came
flashing
and
dripping
up
to
the
chocks
in
the
bows
of
ahabs
boat
only
one
thing
could
be
done
seizing
the
boat
knife
he
critically
reached
within
through
and
then
without
the
rays
of
steel
dragged
in
the
line
beyond
passed
it
inboard
to
the
bowsman
and
then
twice
sundering
the
rope
near
the
chocks
dropped
the
intercepted
fagot
of
steel
into
the
sea
and
was
all
fast
again
that
instant
the
white
whale
made
a
sudden
rush
among
the
remaining
tangles
of
the
other
lines
by
so
doing
irresistibly
dragged
the
more
involved
boats
of
stubb
and
flask
towards
his
flukes
dashed
them
together
like
two
rolling
husks
on
a
surf
beaten
beach
and
then
diving
down
into
the
sea
disappeared
in
a
boiling
maelstrom
in
which
for
a
space
the
odorous
cedar
chips
of
the
wrecks
danced
round
and
round
like
the
grated
nutmeg
in
a
swiftly
stirred
bowl
of
punch
while
the
two
crews
were
yet
circling
in
the
waters
reaching
out
after
the
revolving
line
tubs
oars
and
other
floating
furniture
while
aslope
little
flask
bobbed
up
and
down
like
an
empty
vial
twitching
his
legs
upwards
to
escape
the
dreaded
jaws
of
sharks
and
stubb
was
lustily
singing
out
for
some
one
to
ladle
him
up
and
while
the
old
mans
line
now
parting
admitted
of
his
pulling
into
the
creamy
pool
to
rescue
whom
he
could
in
that
wild
simultaneousness
of
a
thousand
concreted
perils
ahabs
yet
unstricken
boat
seemed
drawn
up
towards
heaven
by
invisible
wires
as
arrow
like
shooting
perpendicularly
from
the
sea
the
white
whale
dashed
his
broad
forehead
against
its
bottom
and
sent
it
turning
over
and
over
into
the
air
till
it
fell
again
gunwale
downwards
and
ahab
and
his
men
struggled
out
from
under
it
like
seals
from
a
seaside
cave
the
first
uprising
momentum
of
the
whale
modifying
its
direction
as
he
struck
the
surface
involuntarily
launched
him
along
it
to
a
little
distance
from
the
centre
of
the
destruction
he
had
made
and
with
his
back
to
it
he
now
lay
for
a
moment
slowly
feeling
with
his
flukes
from
side
to
side
and
whenever
a
stray
oar
bit
of
plank
the
least
chip
or
crumb
of
the
boats
touched
his
skin
his
tail
swiftly
drew
back
and
came
sideways
smiting
the
sea
but
soon
as
if
satisfied
that
his
work
for
that
time
was
done
he
pushed
his
pleated
forehead
through
the
ocean
and
trailing
after
him
the
intertangled
lines
continued
his
leeward
way
at
a
travellers
methodic
pace
as
before
the
attentive
ship
having
descried
the
whole
fight
again
came
bearing
down
to
the
rescue
and
dropping
a
boat
picked
up
the
floating
mariners
tubs
oars
and
whatever
else
could
be
caught
at
and
safely
landed
them
on
her
decks
some
sprained
shoulders
wrists
and
ankles
livid
contusions
wrenched
harpoons
and
lances
inextricable
intricacies
of
rope
shattered
oars
and
planks
all
these
were
there
but
no
fatal
or
even
serious
ill
seemed
to
have
befallen
any
one
as
with
fedallah
the
day
before
so
ahab
was
now
found
grimly
clinging
to
his
boats
broken
half
which
afforded
a
comparatively
easy
float
nor
did
it
so
exhaust
him
as
the
previous
days
mishap
but
when
he
was
helped
to
the
deck
all
eyes
were
fastened
upon
him
as
instead
of
standing
by
himself
he
still
half
hung
upon
the
shoulder
of
starbuck
who
had
thus
far
been
the
foremost
to
assist
him
his
ivory
leg
had
been
snapped
off
leaving
but
one
short
sharp
splinter
aye
aye
starbuck
tis
sweet
to
lean
sometimes
be
the
leaner
who
he
will
and
would
old
ahab
had
leaned
oftener
than
he
has
the
ferrule
has
not
stood
sir
said
the
carpenter
now
coming
up
i
put
good
work
into
that
leg
but
no
bones
broken
sir
i
hope
said
stubb
with
true
concern
aye
and
all
splintered
to
pieces
stubb
dye
see
it
but
even
with
a
broken
bone
old
ahab
is
untouched
and
i
account
no
living
bone
of
mine
one
jot
more
me
than
this
dead
one
thats
lost
nor
white
whale
nor
man
nor
fiend
can
so
much
as
graze
old
ahab
in
his
own
proper
and
inaccessible
being
can
any
lead
touch
yonder
floor
any
mast
scrape
yonder
roof
aloft
there
which
way
dead
to
leeward
sir
up
helm
then
pile
on
the
sail
again
ship
keepers
down
the
rest
of
the
spare
boats
and
rig
them
mr
starbuck
away
and
muster
the
boats
crews
let
me
first
help
thee
towards
the
bulwarks
sir
oh
oh
oh
how
this
splinter
gores
me
now
accursed
fate
that
the
unconquerable
captain
in
the
soul
should
have
such
a
craven
mate
sir
my
body
man
not
thee
give
me
something
for
a
cane
there
that
shivered
lance
will
do
muster
the
men
surely
i
have
not
seen
him
yet
by
heaven
it
cannot
be
missing
quick
call
them
all
the
old
mans
hinted
thought
was
true
upon
mustering
the
company
the
parsee
was
not
there
the
parsee
cried
stubb
he
must
have
been
caught
in
the
black
vomit
wrench
thee
run
all
of
ye
above
alow
cabin
forecastle
find
him
not
gone
not
gone
but
quickly
they
returned
to
him
with
the
tidings
that
the
parsee
was
nowhere
to
be
found
aye
sir
said
stubb
caught
among
the
tangles
of
your
line
i
thought
i
saw
him
dragging
under
my
line
my
line
gone
gone
what
means
that
little
word
what
death
knell
rings
in
it
that
old
ahab
shakes
as
if
he
were
the
belfry
the
harpoon

hour

but
in
this
matter
of
the
whale
be
the
front
of
thy
face
to
me
as
the
palm
of
this
hand
a
lipless
unfeatured
blank
ahab
is
for
ever
ahab
man
this
whole
acts
immutably
decreed
twas
rehearsed
by
thee
and
me
a
billion
years
before
this
ocean
rolled
fool
i
am
the
fates
lieutenant
i
act
under
orders
look
thou
underling
that
thou
obeyest
mine
stand
round
me
men
ye
see
an
old
man
cut
down
to
the
stump
leaning
on
a
shivered
lance
propped
up
on
a
lonely
foot
tis
ahab
his
bodys
part
but
ahabs
souls
a
centipede
that
moves
upon
a
hundred
legs
i
feel
strained
half
stranded
as
ropes
that
tow
dismasted
frigates
in
a
gale
and
i
may
look
so
but
ere
i
break
yell
hear
me
crack
and
till
ye
hear
that
know
that
ahabs
hawser
tows
his
purpose
yet
believe
ye
men
in
the
things
called
omens
then
laugh
aloud
and
cry
encore
for
ere
they
drown
drowning
things
will
twice
rise
to
the
surface
then
rise
again
to
sink
for
evermore
so
with
moby
dick
two
days
hes
floated
to
morrow
will
be
the
third
aye
men
hell
rise
once
more
but
only
to
spout
his
last
dye
feel
brave
men
brave
as
fearless
fire
cried
stubb
and
as
mechanical
muttered
ahab
then
as
the
men
went
forward
he
muttered
on
the
things
called
omens
and
yesterday
i
talked
the
same
to
starbuck
there
concerning
my
broken
boat
oh
how
valiantly
i
seek
to
drive
out
of
others
hearts
whats
clinched
so
fast
in
mine
the
parsee
the
parsee
gone
gone
and
he
was
to
go
before
but
still
was
to
be
seen
again
ere
i
could
perish
hows
that
theres
a
riddle
now
might
baffle
all
the
lawyers
backed
by
the
ghosts
of
the
whole
line
of
judges
like
a
hawks
beak
it
pecks
my
brain
ill
ill
solve
it
though
when
dusk
descended
the
whale
was
still
in
sight
to
leeward
so
once
more
the
sail
was
shortened
and
everything
passed
nearly
as
on
the
previous
night
only
the
sound
of
hammers
and
the
hum
of
the
grindstone
was
heard
till
nearly
daylight
as
the
men
toiled
by
lanterns
in
the
complete
and
careful
rigging
of
the
spare
boats
and
sharpening
their
fresh
weapons
for
the
morrow
meantime
of
the
broken
keel
of
ahabs
wrecked
craft
the
carpenter
made
him
another
leg
while
still
as
on
the
night
before
slouched
ahab
stood
fixed
within
his
scuttle
his
hid
heliotrope
glance
anticipatingly
gone
backward
on
its
dial
sat
due
eastward
for
the
earliest
sun
the
chase
third
day
the
morning
of
the
third
day
dawned
fair
and
fresh
and
once
more
the
solitary
night
man
at
the
fore
mast
head
was
relieved
by
crowds
of
the
daylight
look
outs
who
dotted
every
mast
and
almost
every
spar
dye
see
him
cried
ahab
but
the
whale
was
not
yet
in
sight
in
his
infallible
wake
though
but
follow
that
wake
thats
all
helm
there
steady
as
thou
goest
and
hast
been
going
what
a
lovely
day
again
were
it
a
new
made
world
and
made
for
a
summer
house
to
the
angels
and
this
morning
the
first
of
its
throwing
open
to
them
a
fairer
day
could
not
dawn
upon
that
world
heres
food
for
thought
had
ahab
time
to
think
but
ahab
never
thinks
he
only
feels
feels
feels
thats
tingling
enough
for
mortal
man
to
thinks
audacity
god
only
has
that
right
and
privilege
thinking
is
or
ought
to
be
a
coolness
and
a
calmness
and
our
poor
hearts
throb
and
our
poor
brains
beat
too
much
for
that
and
yet
ive
sometimes
thought
my
brain
was
very
calm
frozen
calm
this
old
skull
cracks
so
like
a
glass
in
which
the
contents
turned
to
ice
and
shiver
it
and
still
this
hair
is
growing
now
this
moment
growing
and
heat
must
breed
it
but
no
its
like
that
sort
of
common
grass
that
will
grow
anywhere
between
the
earthy
clefts
of
greenland
ice
or
in
vesuvius
lava
how
the
wild
winds
blow
it
they
whip
it
about
me
as
the
torn
shreds
of
split
sails
lash
the
tossed
ship
they
cling
to
a
vile
wind
that
has
no
doubt
blown
ere
this
through
prison
corridors
and
cells
and
wards
of
hospitals
and
ventilated
them
and
now
comes
blowing
hither
as
innocent
as
fleeces
out
upon
it
its
tainted
were
i
the
wind
id
blow
no
more
on
such
a
wicked
miserable
world
id
crawl
somewhere
to
a
cave
and
slink
there
and
yet
tis
a
noble
and
heroic
thing
the
wind
who
ever
conquered
it
in
every
fight
it
has
the
last
and
bitterest
blow
run
tilting
at
it
and
you
but
run
through
it
ha
a
coward
wind
that
strikes
stark
naked
men
but
will
not
stand
to
receive
a
single
blow
even
ahab
is
a
braver
thing
a
nobler
thing
that
that
would
now
the
wind
but
had
a
body
but
all
the
things
that
most
exasperate
and
outrage
mortal
man
all
these
things
are
bodiless
but
only
bodiless
as
objects
not
as
agents
theres
a
most
special
a
most
cunning
oh
a
most
malicious
difference
and
yet
i
say
again
and
swear
it
now
that
theres
something
all
glorious
and
gracious
in
the
wind
these
warm
trade
winds
at
least
that
in
the
clear
heavens
blow
straight
on
in
strong
and
steadfast
vigorous
mildness
and
veer
not
from
their
mark
however
the
baser
currents
of
the
sea
may
turn
and
tack
and
mightiest
mississippies
of
the
land
swift
and
swerve
about
uncertain
where
to
go
at
last
and
by
the
eternal
poles
these
same
trades
that
so
directly
blow
my
good
ship
on
these
trades
or
something
like
them
something
so
unchangeable
and
full
as
strong
blow
my
keeled
soul
along
to
it
aloft
there
what
dye
see
nothing
sir
nothing
and
noon
at
hand
the
doubloon
goes
a
begging
see
the
sun
aye
aye
it
must
be
so
ive
oversailed
him
how
got
the
start
aye
hes
chasing
me
now
not
i
him
thats
bad
i
might
have
known
it
too
fool
the
lines
the
harpoons
hes
towing
aye
aye
i
have
run
him
by
last
night
about
about
come
down
all
of
ye
but
the
regular
look
outs
man
the
braces
steering
as
she
had
done
the
wind
had
been
somewhat
on
the
pequods
quarter
so
that
now
being
pointed
in
the
reverse
direction
the
braced
ship
sailed
hard
upon
the
breeze
as
she
rechurned
the
cream
in
her
own
white
wake
against
the
wind
he
now
steers
for
the
open
jaw
murmured
starbuck
to
himself
as
he
coiled
the
new
hauled
main
brace
upon
the
rail
god
keep
us
but
already
my
bones
feel
damp
within
me
and
from
the
inside
wet
my
flesh
i
misdoubt
me
that
i
disobey
my
god
in
obeying
him
stand
by
to
sway
me
up
cried
ahab
advancing
to
the
hempen
basket
we
should
meet
him
soon
aye
aye
sir
and
straightway
starbuck
did
ahabs
bidding
and
once
more
ahab
swung
on
high
a
whole
hour
now
passed
gold
beaten
out
to
ages
time
itself
now
held
long
breaths
with
keen
suspense
but
at
last
some
three
points
off
the
weather
bow
ahab
descried
the
spout
again
and
instantly
from
the
three
mast
heads
three
shrieks
went
up
as
if
the
tongues
of
fire
had
voiced
it
forehead
to
forehead
i
meet
thee
this
third
time
moby
dick
on
deck
there
brace
sharper
up
crowd
her
into
the
winds
eye
hes
too
far
off
to
lower
yet
mr
starbuck
the
sails
shake
stand
over
that
helmsman
with
a
top
maul
so
so
he
travels
fast
and
i
must
down
but
let
me
have
one
more
good
round
look
aloft
here
at
the
sea
theres
time
for
that
an
old
old
sight
and
yet
somehow
so
young
aye
and
not
changed
a
wink
since
i
first
saw
it
a
boy
from
the
sand
hills
of
nantucket
the
same
the
same
the
same
to
noah
as
to
me
theres
a
soft
shower
to
leeward
such
lovely
leewardings
they
must
lead
somewhere
to
something
else
than
common
land
more
palmy
than
the
palms
leeward
the
white
whale
goes
that
way
look
to
windward
then
the
better
if
the
bitterer
quarter
but
good
bye
good
bye
old
mast
head
whats
this
green
aye
tiny
mosses
in
these
warped
cracks
no
such
green
weather
stains
on
ahabs
head
theres
the
difference
now
between
mans
old
age
and
matters
but
aye
old
mast
we
both
grow
old
together
sound
in
our
hulls
though
are
we
not
my
ship
aye
minus
a
leg
thats
all
by
heaven
this
dead
wood
has
the
better
of
my
live
flesh
every
way
i
cant
compare
with
it
and
ive
known
some
ships
made
of
dead
trees
outlast
the
lives
of
men
made
of
the
most
vital
stuff
of
vital
fathers
whats
that
he
said
he
should
still
go
before
me
my
pilot
and
yet
to
be
seen
again
but
where
will
i
have
eyes
at
the
bottom
of
the
sea
supposing
i
descend
those
endless
stairs
and
all
night
ive
been
sailing
from
him
wherever
he
did
sink
to
aye
aye
like
many
more
thou
toldst
direful
truth
as
touching
thyself
o
parsee
but
ahab
there
thy
shot
fell
short
good
by
mast
head
keep
a
good
eye
upon
the
whale
the
while
im
gone
well
talk
to
morrow
nay
to
night
when
the
white
whale
lies
down
there
tied
by
head
and
tail
he
gave
the
word
and
still
gazing
round
him
was
steadily
lowered
through
the
cloven
blue
air
to
the
deck
in
due
time
the
boats
were
lowered
but
as
standing
in
his
shallops
stern
ahab
just
hovered
upon
the
point
of
the
descent
he
waved
to
the
mate
who
held
one
of
the
tackle
ropes
on
deck
and
bade
him
pause
starbuck
sir
for
the
third
time
my
souls
ship
starts
upon
this
voyage
starbuck
aye
sir
thou
wilt
have
it
so
some
ships
sail
from
their
ports
and
ever
afterwards
are
missing
starbuck
truth
sir
saddest
truth
some
men
die
at
ebb
tide
some
at
low
water
some
at
the
full
of
the
flood
and
i
feel
now
like
a
billow
thats
all
one
crested
comb
starbuck
i
am
old
shake
hands
with
me
man
their
hands
met
their
eyes
fastened
starbucks
tears
the
glue
oh
my
captain
my
captain
noble
heart
go
not
go
not
see
its
a
brave
man
that
weeps
how
great
the
agony
of
the
persuasion
then
lower
away
cried
ahab
tossing
the
mates
arm
from
him
stand
by
the
crew
in
an
instant
the
boat
was
pulling
round
close
under
the
stern
the
sharks
the
sharks
cried
a
voice
from
the
low
cabin
window
there
o
master
my
master
come
back
but
ahab
heard
nothing
for
his
own
voice
was
high
lifted
then
and
the
boat
leaped
on
yet
the
voice
spake
true
for
scarce
had
he
pushed
from
the
ship
when
numbers
of
sharks
seemingly
rising
from
out
the
dark
waters
beneath
the
hull
maliciously
snapped
at
the
blades
of
the
oars
every
time
they
dipped
in
the
water
and
in
this
way
accompanied
the
boat
with
their
bites
it
is
a
thing
not
uncommonly
happening
to
the
whale
boats
in
those
swarming
seas
the
sharks
at
times
apparently
following
them
in
the
same
prescient
way
that
vultures
hover
over
the
banners
of
marching
regiments
in
the
east
but
these
were
the
first
sharks
that
had
been
observed
by
the
pequod
since
the
white
whale
had
been
first
descried
and
whether
it
was
that
ahabs
crew
were
all
such
tiger
yellow
barbarians
and
therefore
their
flesh
more
musky
to
the
senses
of
the
sharks
a
matter
sometimes
well
known
to
affect
them
however
it
was
they
seemed
to
follow
that
one
boat
without
molesting
the
others
heart
of
wrought
steel
murmured
starbuck
gazing
over
the
side
and
following
with
his
eyes
the
receding
boat
canst
thou
yet
ring
boldly
to
that
sight
lowering
thy
keel
among
ravening
sharks
and
followed
by
them
open
mouthed
to
the
chase
and
this
the
critical
third
day
for
when
three
days
flow
together
in
one
continuous
intense
pursuit
be
sure
the
first
is
the
morning
the
second
the
noon
and
the
third
the
evening
and
the
end
of
that
thing
be
that
end
what
it
may
oh
my
god
what
is
this
that
shoots
through
me
and
leaves
me
so
deadly
calm
yet
expectant
fixed
at
the
top
of
a
shudder
future
things
swim
before
me
as
in
empty
outlines
and
skeletons
all
the
past
is
somehow
grown
dim
mary
girl
thou
fadest
in
pale
glories
behind
me
boy
i
seem
to
see
but
thy
eyes
grown
wondrous
blue
strangest
problems
of
life
seem
clearing
but
clouds
sweep
between
is
my
journeys
end
coming
my
legs
feel
faint
like
his
who
has
footed
it
all
day
feel
thy
heart
beats
it
yet
stir
thyself
starbuck
stave
it
off
move
move
speak
aloud
mast
head
there
see
ye
my
boys
hand
on
the
hill
crazed
aloft
there
keep
thy
keenest
eye
upon
the
boats
mark
well
the
whale
ho
again
drive
off
that
hawk
see
he
pecks
he
tears
the
vane
pointing
to
the
red
flag
flying
at
the
main
truck
ha
he
soars
away
with
it
wheres
the
old
man
now
seest
thou
that
sight
oh
ahab
shudder
shudder
the
boats
had
not
gone
very
far
when
by
a
signal
from
the
mast
heads
a
downward
pointed
arm
ahab
knew
that
the
whale
had
sounded
but
intending
to
be
near
him
at
the
next
rising
he
held
on
his
way
a
little
sideways
from
the
vessel
the
becharmed
crew
maintaining
the
profoundest
silence
as
the
head
beat
waves
hammered
and
hammered
against
the
opposing
bow
drive
drive
in
your
nails
oh
ye
waves
to
their
uttermost
heads
drive
them
in
ye
but
strike
a
thing
without
a
lid
and
no
coffin
and
no
hearse
can
be
mine
and
hemp
only
can
kill
me
ha
ha
suddenly
the
waters
around
them
slowly
swelled
in
broad
circles
then
quickly
upheaved
as
if
sideways
sliding
from
a
submerged
berg
of
ice
swiftly
rising
to
the
surface
a
low
rumbling
sound
was
heard
a
subterraneous
hum
and
then
all
held
their
breaths
as
bedraggled
with
trailing
ropes
and
harpoons
and
lances
a
vast
form
shot
lengthwise
but
obliquely
from
the
sea
shrouded
in
a
thin
drooping
veil
of
mist
it
hovered
for
a
moment
in
the
rainbowed
air
and
then
fell
swamping
back
into
the
deep
crushed
thirty
feet
upwards
the
waters
flashed
for
an
instant
like
heaps
of
fountains
then
brokenly
sank
in
a
shower
of
flakes
leaving
the
circling
surface
creamed
like
new
milk
round
the
marble
trunk
of
the
whale
give
way
cried
ahab
to
the
oarsmen
and
the
boats
darted
forward
to
the
attack
but
maddened
by
yesterdays
fresh
irons
that
corroded
in
him
moby
dick
seemed
combinedly
possessed
by
all
the
angels
that
fell
from
heaven
the
wide
tiers
of
welded
tendons
overspreading
his
broad
white
forehead
beneath
the
transparent
skin
looked
knitted
together
as
head
on
he
came
churning
his
tail
among
the
boats
and
once
more
flailed
them
apart
spilling
out
the
irons
and
lances
from
the
two
mates
boats
and
dashing
in
one
side
of
the
upper
part
of
their
bows
but
leaving
ahabs
almost
without
a
scar
while
daggoo
and
queequeg
were
stopping
the
strained
planks
and
as
the
whale
swimming
out
from
them
turned
and
showed
one
entire
flank
as
he
shot
by
them
again
at
that
moment
a
quick
cry
went
up
lashed
round
and
round
to
the
fishs
back
pinioned
in
the
turns
upon
turns
in
which
during
the
past
night
the
whale
had
reeled
the
involutions
of
the
lines
around
him
the
half
torn
body
of
the
parsee
was
seen
his
sable
raiment
frayed
to
shreds
his
distended
eyes
turned
full
upon
old
ahab
the
harpoon
dropped
from
his
hand
befooled
befooled
drawing
in
a
long
lean
breath
aye
parsee
i
see
thee
again
aye
and
thou
goest
before
and
this
this
then
is
the
hearse
that
thou
didst
promise
but
i
hold
thee
to
the
last
letter
of
thy
word
where
is
the
second
hearse
away
mates
to
the
ship
those
boats
are
useless
now
repair
them
if
ye
can
in
time
and
return
to
me
if
not
ahab
is
enough
to
die
down
men
the
first
thing
that
but
offers
to
jump
from
this
boat
i
stand
in
that
thing
i
harpoon
ye
are
not
other
men
but
my
arms
and
my
legs
and
so
obey
me
wheres
the
whale
gone
down
again
but
he
looked
too
nigh
the
boat
for
as
if
bent
upon
escaping
with
the
corpse
he
bore
and
as
if
the
particular
place
of
the
last
encounter
had
been
but
a
stage
in
his
leeward
voyage
moby
dick
was
now
again
steadily
swimming
forward
and
had
almost
passed
the
ship
which
thus
far
had
been
sailing
in
the
contrary
direction
to
him
though
for
the
present
her
headway
had
been
stopped
he
seemed
swimming
with
his
utmost
velocity
and
now
only
intent
upon
pursuing
his
own
straight
path
in
the
sea
oh
ahab
cried
starbuck
not
too
late
is
it
even
now
the
third
day
to
desist
see
moby
dick
seeks
thee
not
it
is
thou
thou
that
madly
seekest
him
setting
sail
to
the
rising
wind
the
lonely
boat
was
swiftly
impelled
to
leeward
by
both
oars
and
canvas
and
at
last
when
ahab
was
sliding
by
the
vessel
so
near
as
plainly
to
distinguish
starbucks
face
as
he
leaned
over
the
rail
he
hailed
him
to
turn
the
vessel
about
and
follow
him
not
too
swiftly
at
a
judicious
interval
glancing
upwards
he
saw
tashtego
queequeg
and
daggoo
eagerly
mounting
to
the
three
mast
heads
while
the
oarsmen
were
rocking
in
the
two
staved
boats
which
had
but
just
been
hoisted
to
the
side
and
were
busily
at
work
in
repairing
them
one
after
the
other
through
the
portholes
as
he
sped
he
also
caught
flying
glimpses
of
stubb
and
flask
busying
themselves
on
deck
among
bundles
of
new
irons
and
lances
as
he
saw
all
this
as
he
heard
the
hammers
in
the
broken
boats
far
other
hammers
seemed
driving
a
nail
into
his
heart
but
he
rallied
and
now
marking
that
the
vane
or
flag
was
gone
from
the
main
mast
head
he
shouted
to
tashtego
who
had
just
gained
that
perch
to
descend
again
for
another
flag
and
a
hammer
and
nails
and
so
nail
it
to
the
mast
whether
fagged
by
the
three
days
running
chase
and
the
resistance
to
his
swimming
in
the
knotted
hamper
he
bore
or
whether
it
was
some
latent
deceitfulness
and
malice
in
him
whichever
was
true
the
white
whales
way
now
began
to
abate
as
it
seemed
from
the
boat
so
rapidly
nearing
him
once
more
though
indeed
the
whales
last
start
had
not
been
so
long
a
one
as
before
and
still
as
ahab
glided
over
the
waves
the
unpitying
sharks
accompanied
him
and
so
pertinaciously
stuck
to
the
boat
and
so
continually
bit
at
the
plying
oars
that
the
blades
became
jagged
and
crunched
and
left
small
splinters
in
the
sea
at
almost
every
dip
heed
them
not
those
teeth
but
give
new
rowlocks
to
your
oars
pull
on
tis
the
better
rest
the
sharks
jaw
than
the
yielding
water
but
at
every
bite
sir
the
thin
blades
grow
smaller
and
smaller
they
will
last
long
enough
pull
on
but
who
can
tell
he
muttered
whether
these
sharks
swim
to
feast
on
the
whale
or
on
ahab
but
pull
on
aye
all
alive
now
we
near
him
the
helm
take
the
helm
let
me
pass
and
so
saying
two
of
the
oarsmen
helped
him
forward
to
the
bows
of
the
still
flying
boat
at
length
as
the
craft
was
cast
to
one
side
and
ran
ranging
along
with
the
white
whales
flank
he
seemed
strangely
oblivious
of
its
advance
as
the
whale
sometimes
will
and
ahab
was
fairly
within
the
smoky
mountain
mist
which
thrown
off
from
the
whales
spout
curled
round
his
great
monadnock
hump
he
was
even
thus
close
to
him
when
with
body
arched
back
and
both
arms
lengthwise
high
lifted
to
the
poise
he
darted
his
fierce
iron
and
his
far
fiercer
curse
into
the
hated
whale
as
both
steel
and
curse
sank
to
the
socket
as
if
sucked
into
a
morass
moby
dick
sideways
writhed
spasmodically
rolled
his
nigh
flank
against
the
bow
and
without
staving
a
hole
in
it
so
suddenly
canted
the
boat
over
that
had
it
not
been
for
the
elevated
part
of
the
gunwale
to
which
he
then
clung
ahab
would
once
more
have
been
tossed
into
the
sea
as
it
was
three
of
the
oarsmen
who
foreknew
not
the
precise
instant
of
the
dart
and
were
therefore
unprepared
for
its
effects
these
were
flung
out
but
so
fell
that
in
an
instant
two
of
them
clutched
the
gunwale
again
and
rising
to
its
level
on
a
combing
wave
hurled
themselves
bodily
inboard
again
the
third
man
helplessly
dropping
astern
but
still
afloat
and
swimming
almost
simultaneously
with
a
mighty
volition
of
ungraduated
instantaneous
swiftness
the
white
whale
darted
through
the
weltering
sea
but
when
ahab
cried
out
to
the
steersman
to
take
new
turns
with
the
line
and
hold
it
so
and
commanded
the
crew
to
turn
round
on
their
seats
and
tow
the
boat
up
to
the
mark
the
moment
the
treacherous
line
felt
that
double
strain
and
tug
it
snapped
in
the
empty
air
what
breaks
in
me
some
sinew
cracks
tis
whole
again
oars
oars
burst
in
upon
him
hearing
the
tremendous
rush
of
the
sea
crashing
boat
the
whale
wheeled
round
to
present
his
blank
forehead
at
bay
but
in
that
evolution
catching
sight
of
the
nearing
black
hull
of
the
ship
seemingly
seeing
in
it
the
source
of
all
his
persecutions
bethinking
it
it
may
be
a
larger
and
nobler
foe
of
a
sudden
he
bore
down
upon
its
advancing
prow
smiting
his
jaws
amid
fiery
showers
of
foam
ahab
staggered
his
hand
smote
his
forehead
i
grow
blind
hands
stretch
out
before
me
that
i
may
yet
grope
my
way
ist
night
the
whale
the
ship
cried
the
cringing
oarsmen
oars
oars
slope
downwards
to
thy
depths
o
sea
that
ere
it
be
for
ever
too
late
ahab
may
slide
this
last
last
time
upon
his
mark
i
see
the
ship
the
ship
dash
on
my
men
will
ye
not
save
my
ship
but
as
the
oarsmen
violently
forced
their
boat
through
the
sledge
hammering
seas
the
before
whale
smitten
bow
ends
of
two
planks
burst
through
and
in
an
instant
almost
the
temporarily
disabled
boat
lay
nearly
level
with
the
waves
its
half
wading
splashing
crew
trying
hard
to
stop
the
gap
and
bale
out
the
pouring
water
meantime
for
that
one
beholding
instant
tashtegos
mast
head
hammer
remained
suspended
in
his
hand
and
the
red
flag
half
wrapping
him
as
with
a
plaid
then
streamed
itself
straight
out
from
him
as
his
own
forward
flowing
heart
while
starbuck
and
stubb
standing
upon
the
bowsprit
beneath
caught
sight
of
the
down
coming
monster
just
as
soon
as
he
the
whale
the
whale
up

oh
all

nearly
all
the
seamen
now
hung
inactive
hammers
bits
of
plank
lances
and
harpoons
mechanically
retained
in
their
hands
just
as
they
had
darted
from
their
various
employments
all
their
enchanted
eyes
intent
upon
the
whale
which
from
side
to
side
strangely
vibrating
his
predestinating
head
sent
a
broad
band
of
overspreading
semicircular
foam
before
him
as
he
rushed
retribution
swift
vengeance
eternal
malice
were
in
his
whole
aspect
and
spite
of
all
that
mortal
man
could
do
the
solid
white
buttress
of
his
forehead
smote
the
ships
starboard
bow
till
men
and
timbers
reeled
some
fell
flat
upon
their
faces
like
dislodged
trucks
the
heads
of
the
harpooneers
aloft
shook
on
their
bull
like
necks
through
the
breach
they
heard
the
waters
pour
as
mountain
torrents
down

flume
the

ahab
from

the

ran
quivering
along
its
keel
but
turning
under
water
swiftly
shot
to
the
surface
again
far
off
the
other
bow
but
within
a
few
yards
of
ahabs
boat
where
for
a
time

lay
quiescent

thus
i
give
up
the
spear
the

darted
the
stricken
whale
flew
forward
with
igniting
velocity
the
line
ran
through
the
groove
ran
foul
ahab
stooped
to
clear
it
he
did
clear
it
but
the
flying
turn
caught
him
round
the
neck
and
voicelessly
as
turkish
mutes
bowstring
their
victim
he
was
shot
out
of
the
boat
ere
the
crew
knew
he
was
gone
next
instant
the
heavy
eye
splice
in
the
ropes
final
end
flew
out
of
the
stark
empty
tub
knocked
down
an
oarsman
and
smiting
the
sea
disappeared
in
its
depths
for
an
instant
the
tranced
boats
crew
stood
still
then
turned
the
ship
great
god
where
is
the
ship
soon
they
through
dim
bewildering
mediums
saw
her
sidelong
fading
phantom
as
in
the
gaseous
fata
morgana
only
the
uppermost
masts
out
of
water
while
fixed
by
infatuation
or
fidelity
or
fate
to
their
once
lofty
perches
the
pagan
harpooneers
still
maintained
their
sinking
lookouts
on
the
sea
and
now
concentric
circles
seized
the
lone
boat
itself
and
all
its
crew
and
each
floating
oar
and
every
lance
pole
and
spinning
animate
and
inanimate
all
round
and
round
in
one
vortex
carried
the
smallest
chip
of
the
pequod
out
of
sight
but
as
the
last
whelmings
intermixingly
poured
themselves
over
the
sunken
head
of
the
indian
at
the
mainmast
leaving
a
few
inches
of
the
erect
spar
yet
visible
together
with
long
streaming
yards
of
the
flag
which
calmly
undulated
with
ironical
coincidings
over
the
destroying
billows
they
almost
touched
at
that
instant
a
red
arm
and
a
hammer
hovered
backwardly
uplifted
in
the
open
air
in
the
act
of
nailing
the
flag
faster
and
yet
faster
to
the
subsiding
spar
a
sky
hawk
that
tauntingly
had
followed
the
main
truck
downwards
from
its
natural
home
among
the
stars
pecking
at
the
flag
and
incommoding
tashtego
there
this
bird
now
chanced
to
intercept
its
broad
fluttering
wing
between
the
hammer
and
the
wood
and
simultaneously
feeling
that
etherial
thrill
the
submerged
savage
beneath
in
his
death
gasp
kept
his
hammer
frozen
there
and
so
the
bird
of
heaven
with
archangelic
shrieks
and
his
imperial
beak
thrust
upwards
and
his
whole
captive
form
folded
in
the
flag
of
ahab
went
down
with
his
ship
which
like
satan
would
not
sink
to
hell
till
she
had
dragged
a
living
part
of
heaven
along
with
her
and
helmeted
herself
with
it
now
small
fowls
flew
screaming
over
the
yet
yawning
gulf
a
sullen
white
surf
beat
against
its
steep
sides
then
all
collapsed
and
the
great
shroud
of
the
sea
rolled
on
as
it
rolled
five
thousand
years
ago
