Sabbath 1 140 afternoon. 3 140 Go 9 140 from 11 140 Corlears 13 140 Hook 17 140 to 19 140 Coenties 23 140 Slip, 27 140 and 29 140 from 31 140 thence, 33 140 by 37 140 Whitehall, 39 140 northward. 41 140 What 43 140 do 47 140 you 51 140 see?--Posted 53 140 like 57 140 silent 59 140 sentinels 61 140 all 67 140 around 69 140 the 71 140 town, 73 140 stand 79 140 thousands 81 140 upon 83 140 thousands 87 140 of 89 140 mortal 93 140 men 97 140 fixed 99 140 in 101 140 ocean 103 140 reveries. 107 140 Some 109 140 leaning 111 140 against 113 140 the 117 140 spiles; 121 140 some 123 140 seated 127 140 upon 129 140 the 131 140 pier-heads; 137 140 some 139 140 looking 1 141 over 2 141 the 4 141 bulwarks 5 141 of 7 141 ships 8 141 from 10 141 China; 11 141 some 13 141 high 14 141 aloft 16 141 in 17 141 the 19 141 rigging, 20 141 as 22 141 if 23 141 striving 25 141 to 26 141 get 28 141 a 29 141 still 31 141 better 32 141 seaward 34 141 peep. 35 141 But 37 141 these 38 141 are 40 141 all 41 141 landsmen; 43 141 of 44 141 week 46 141 days 49 141 pent 50 141 up 52 141 in 53 141 lath 55 141 and 56 141 plaster--tied 58 141 to 59 141 counters, 61 141 nailed 62 141 to 64 141 benches, 65 141 clinched 67 141 to 68 141 desks. 70 141 How 71 141 then 73 141 is 74 141 this? 76 141 Are 77 141 the 79 141 green 80 141 fields 82 141 gone? 83 141 What 85 141 do 86 141 they 88 141 here? 89 141 But 91 141 look! 92 141 here 95 141 come 97 141 more 98 141 crowds, 100 141 pacing 101 141 straight 103 141 for 104 141 the 106 141 water, 107 141 and 109 141 seemingly 110 141 bound 112 141 for 113 141 a 115 141 dive. 116 141 Strange! 118 141 Nothing 119 141 will 121 141 content 122 141 them 124 141 but 125 141 the 127 141 extremest 128 141 limit 130 141 of 131 141 the 133 141 land; 134 141 loitering 136 141 under 137 141 the 139 141 shady 140 141 lee 1 142 of 3 142 yonder 5 142 warehouses 7 142 will 9 142 not 11 142 suffice. 13 142 No. 15 142 They 17 142 must 19 142 get 21 142 just 23 142 as 25 142 nigh 27 142 the 29 142 water 31 142 as 33 142 they 35 142 possibly 37 142 can 39 142 without 41 142 falling 43 142 in. 45 142 And 47 142 there 49 142 they 51 142 stand--miles 53 142 of 55 142 them--leagues. 57 142 Inlanders 59 142 all, 61 142 they 63 142 come 65 142 from 67 142 lanes 69 142 and 73 142 alleys, 75 142 streets 77 142 and 79 142 avenues--north, 81 142 east, 83 142 south, 85 142 and 87 142 west. 89 142 Yet 91 142 here 93 142 they 95 142 all 97 142 unite. 99 142 Tell 101 142 me, 103 142 does 105 142 the 107 142 magnetic 109 142 virtue 111 142 of 113 142 the 115 142 needles 117 142 of 119 142 the 121 142 compasses 123 142 of 125 142 all 127 142 those 129 142 ships 131 142 attract 133 142 them 135 142 thither? 137 142 Once 139 142 more. 141 142 Say 1 143 you 2 143 are 3 143 in 4 143 the 5 143 country; 6 143 in 7 143 some 8 143 high 9 143 land 10 143 of 12 143 lakes. 14 143 Take 15 143 almost 16 143 any 17 143 path 18 143 you 19 143 please, 20 143 and 21 143 ten 23 143 to 24 143 one 25 143 it 27 143 carries 28 143 you 29 143 down 30 143 in 31 143 a 32 143 dale, 34 143 and 35 143 leaves 36 143 you 37 143 there 38 143 by 40 143 a 41 143 pool 42 143 in 43 143 the 45 143 stream. 46 143 There 47 143 is 48 143 magic 49 143 in 50 143 it. 51 143 Let 53 143 the 54 143 most 56 143 absent-minded 57 143 of 58 143 men 59 143 be 60 143 plunged 61 143 in 62 143 his 63 143 deepest 64 143 reveries--stand 67 143 that 68 143 man 69 143 on 70 143 his 71 143 legs, 72 143 set 73 143 his 74 143 feet 75 143 a-going, 76 143 and 79 143 he 80 143 will 81 143 infallibly 82 143 lead 83 143 you 84 143 to 85 143 water, 86 143 if 87 143 water 89 143 there 90 143 be 92 143 in 93 143 all 94 143 that 95 143 region. 96 143 Should 97 143 you 98 143 ever 100 143 be 101 143 athirst 102 143 in 103 143 the 105 143 great 106 143 American 107 143 desert, 108 143 try 109 143 this 111 143 experiment, 112 143 if 113 143 your 114 143 caravan 115 143 happen 116 143 to 118 143 be 119 143 supplied 120 143 with 122 143 a 123 143 metaphysical 124 143 professor. 125 143 Yes, 126 143 as 127 143 every 128 143 one 129 143 knows, 131 143 meditation 133 143 and 134 143 water 135 143 are 136 143 wedded 137 143 for 138 143 ever. 139 143 But 140 143 here 141 143 is 142 143 an 1 144 artist. 5 144 He 7 144 desires 11 144 to 13 144 paint 17 144 you 19 144 the 23 144 dreamiest, 25 144 shadiest, 29 144 quietest, 31 144 most 35 144 enchanting 37 144 bit 41 144 of 43 144 romantic 47 144 landscape 49 144 in 53 144 all 55 144 the 59 144 valley 61 144 of 65 144 the 67 144 Saco. 71 144 What 73 144 is 77 144 the 79 144 chief 83 144 element 85 144 he 89 144 employs? 91 144 There 95 144 stand 97 144 his 101 144 trees, 103 144 each 107 144 with 109 144 a 113 144 hollow 115 144 trunk, 119 144 as 121 144 if 125 144 a 127 144 hermit 131 144 and 133 144 a 137 144 crucifix 139 144 were 143 144 within; 1 145 and 2 145 here 3 145 sleeps 4 145 his 6 145 meadow, 7 145 and 8 145 there 9 145 sleep 11 145 his 12 145 cattle; 13 145 and 14 145 up 16 145 from 17 145 yonder 18 145 cottage 19 145 goes 21 145 a 22 145 sleepy 23 145 smoke. 24 145 Deep 26 145 into 27 145 distant 28 145 woodlands 31 145 winds 32 145 a 33 145 mazy 34 145 way, 36 145 reaching 37 145 to 38 145 overlapping 39 145 spurs 41 145 of 42 145 mountains 43 145 bathed 44 145 in 46 145 their 47 145 hill-side 48 145 blue. 49 145 But 51 145 though 52 145 the 53 145 picture 54 145 lies 56 145 thus 57 145 tranced, 59 145 and 61 145 though 62 145 this 63 145 pine-tree 64 145 shakes 66 145 down 67 145 its 68 145 sighs 69 145 like 71 145 leaves 72 145 upon 73 145 this 74 145 shepherd's 76 145 head, 77 145 yet 78 145 all 79 145 were 81 145 vain, 82 145 unless 83 145 the 84 145 shepherd's 86 145 eye 88 145 were 89 145 fixed 91 145 upon 92 145 the 93 145 magic 94 145 stream 96 145 before 97 145 him. 98 145 Go 99 145 visit 101 145 the 102 145 Prairies 103 145 in 104 145 June, 106 145 when 107 145 for 108 145 scores 109 145 on 111 145 scores 112 145 of 113 145 miles 114 145 you 117 145 wade 118 145 knee-deep 119 145 among 121 145 Tiger-lilies--what 122 145 is 123 145 the 124 145 one 126 145 charm 127 145 wanting?--Water--there 128 145 is 129 145 not 131 145 a 132 145 drop 133 145 of 134 145 water 136 145 there! 137 145 Were 138 145 Niagara 139 145 but 141 145 a 142 145 cataract 143 145 of 144 145 sand, 1 146 would 3 146 you 5 146 travel 7 146 your 9 146 thousand 11 146 miles 13 146 to 15 146 see 17 146 it? 19 146 Why 21 146 did 23 146 the 25 146 poor 27 146 poet 29 146 of 31 146 Tennessee, 33 146 upon 35 146 suddenly 37 146 receiving 39 146 two 41 146 handfuls 43 146 of 45 146 silver, 47 146 deliberate 49 146 whether 51 146 to 53 146 buy 55 146 him 57 146 a 59 146 coat, 61 146 which 63 146 he 65 146 sadly 67 146 needed, 69 146 or 71 146 invest 75 146 his 77 146 money 79 146 in 81 146 a 83 146 pedestrian 85 146 trip 87 146 to 89 146 Rockaway 91 146 Beach? 93 146 Why 95 146 is 97 146 almost 99 146 every 101 146 robust 103 146 healthy 105 146 boy 107 146 with 109 146 a 111 146 robust 113 146 healthy 115 146 soul 117 146 in 119 146 him, 121 146 at 123 146 some 125 146 time 127 146 or 129 146 other 131 146 crazy 133 146 to 135 146 go 137 146 to 139 146 sea? 141 146 Why 143 146 upon 145 146 your 1 147 first 2 147 voyage 4 147 as 5 147 a 8 147 passenger, 10 147 did 11 147 you 13 147 yourself 16 147 feel 17 147 such 19 147 a 20 147 mystical 22 147 vibration, 23 147 when 25 147 first 26 147 told 29 147 that 31 147 you 32 147 and 34 147 your 37 147 ship 38 147 were 40 147 now 41 147 out 43 147 of 44 147 sight 46 147 of 47 147 land? 50 147 Why 52 147 did 53 147 the 55 147 old 58 147 Persians 59 147 hold 61 147 the 62 147 sea 64 147 holy? 65 147 Why 67 147 did 68 147 the 71 147 Greeks 73 147 give 74 147 it 76 147 a 79 147 separate 80 147 deity, 82 147 and 83 147 own 85 147 brother 86 147 of 88 147 Jove? 89 147 Surely 92 147 all 94 147 this 95 147 is 97 147 not 100 147 without 101 147 meaning. 103 147 And 104 147 still 106 147 deeper 107 147 the 109 147 meaning 110 147 of 113 147 that 115 147 story 116 147 of 118 147 Narcissus, 121 147 who 122 147 because 124 147 he 125 147 could 127 147 not 128 147 grasp 130 147 the 131 147 tormenting, 134 147 mild 136 147 image 137 147 he 139 147 saw 142 147 in 143 147 the 145 147 fountain, 146 147 plunged 1 148 into 3 148 it 5 148 and 7 148 was 9 148 drowned. 11 148 But 13 148 that 15 148 same 17 148 image, 19 148 we 21 148 ourselves 23 148 see 25 148 in 27 148 all 29 148 rivers 31 148 and 33 148 oceans. 35 148 It 39 148 is 41 148 the 43 148 image 45 148 of 47 148 the 49 148 ungraspable 51 148 phantom 53 148 of 55 148 life; 57 148 and 59 148 this 61 148 is 63 148 the 65 148 key 67 148 to 69 148 it 71 148 all. 73 148 Now, 75 148 when 77 148 I 79 148 say 81 148 that 83 148 I 85 148 am 87 148 in 89 148 the 91 148 habit 93 148 of 95 148 going 97 148 to 99 148 sea 101 148 whenever 103 148 I 105 148 begin 107 148 to 109 148 grow 113 148 hazy 115 148 about 117 148 the 119 148 eyes, 121 148 and 123 148 begin 125 148 to 127 148 be 129 148 over 131 148 conscious 133 148 of 135 148 my 137 148 lungs, 139 148 I 141 148 do 143 148 not 145 148 mean 147 148 to 1 149 have 2 149 it 3 149 inferred 4 149 that 5 149 I 6 149 ever 7 149 go 8 149 to 9 149 sea 10 149 as 11 149 a 12 149 passenger. 13 149 For 14 149 to 15 149 go 16 149 as 17 149 a 18 149 passenger 19 149 you 20 149 must 21 149 needs 22 149 have 23 149 a 24 149 purse, 25 149 and 26 149 a 27 149 purse 28 149 is 29 149 but 30 149 a 31 149 rag 32 149 unless 33 149 you 34 149 have 35 149 something 36 149 in 37 149 it. 38 149 Besides, 39 149 passengers 40 149 get 41 149 sea-sick--grow 42 149 quarrelsome--don't 43 149 sleep 44 149 of 45 149 nights--do 46 149 not 47 149 enjoy 48 149 themselves 49 149 much, 50 149 as 51 149 a 52 149 general 53 149 thing;--no, 54 149 I 55 149 never 56 149 go 57 149 as 58 149 a 59 149 passenger; 60 149 nor, 61 149 though 62 149 I 63 149 am 64 149 something 65 149 of 66 149 a 67 149 salt, 68 149 do 69 149 I 70 149 ever 71 149 go 72 149 to 73 149 sea 74 149 as 75 149 a 76 149 Commodore, 77 149 or 78 149 a 79 149 Captain, 80 149 or 81 149 a 82 149 Cook. 83 149 I 84 149 abandon 85 149 the 86 149 glory 87 149 and 88 149 distinction 89 149 of 90 149 such 91 149 offices 92 149 to 93 149 those 94 149 who 95 149 like 96 149 them. 97 149 For 98 149 my 99 149 part, 100 149 I 101 149 abominate 102 149 all 103 149 honourable 104 149 respectable 105 149 toils, 106 149 trials, 107 149 and 108 149 tribulations 109 149 of 110 149 every 111 149 kind 112 149 whatsoever. 113 149 It 114 149 is 115 149 quite 116 149 as 117 149 much 118 149 as 119 149 I 120 149 can 121 149 do 122 149 to 123 149 take 124 149 care 125 149 of 126 149 myself, 127 149 without 128 149 taking 129 149 care 130 149 of 131 149 ships, 132 149 barques, 133 149 brigs, 134 149 schooners, 135 149 and 136 149 what 137 149 not. 138 149 And 139 149 as 140 149 for 141 149 going 142 149 as 143 149 cook,--though 144 149 I 145 149 confess 146 149 there 147 149 is 148 149 considerable 1 150 glory 7 150 in 11 150 that, 13 150 a 17 150 cook 19 150 being 23 150 a 29 150 sort 31 150 of 37 150 officer 41 150 on 43 150 ship-board--yet, 47 150 somehow, 49 150 I 53 150 never 59 150 fancied 61 150 broiling 67 150 fowls;--though 71 150 once 73 150 broiled, 77 150 judiciously 79 150 buttered, 83 150 and 89 150 judgmatically 91 150 salted 97 150 and 101 150 peppered, 103 150 there 107 150 is 109 150 no 113 150 one 119 150 who 121 150 will 127 150 speak 131 150 more 133 150 respectfully, 137 150 not 139 150 to 143 150 say 149 150 reverentially, 1 151 of 2 151 a 3 151 broiled 4 151 fowl 5 151 than 6 151 I 7 151 will. 8 151 It 9 151 is 10 151 out 11 151 of 12 151 the 13 151 idolatrous 14 151 dotings 15 151 of 16 151 the 17 151 old 18 151 Egyptians 19 151 upon 20 151 broiled 21 151 ibis 22 151 and 23 151 roasted 24 151 river 25 151 horse, 26 151 that 27 151 you 28 151 see 29 151 the 30 151 mummies 31 151 of 32 151 those 33 151 creatures 34 151 in 35 151 their 36 151 huge 37 151 bake-houses 38 151 the 39 151 pyramids. 40 151 No, 41 151 when 42 151 I 43 151 go 44 151 to 45 151 sea, 46 151 I 47 151 go 48 151 as 49 151 a 50 151 simple 51 151 sailor, 52 151 right 53 151 before 54 151 the 55 151 mast, 56 151 plumb 57 151 down 58 151 into 59 151 the 60 151 forecastle, 61 151 aloft 62 151 there 63 151 to 64 151 the 65 151 royal 66 151 mast-head. 67 151 True, 68 151 they 69 151 rather 70 151 order 71 151 me 72 151 about 73 151 some, 74 151 and 75 151 make 76 151 me 77 151 jump 78 151 from 79 151 spar 80 151 to 81 151 spar, 82 151 like 83 151 a 84 151 grasshopper 85 151 in 86 151 a 87 151 May 88 151 meadow. 89 151 And 90 151 at 91 151 first, 92 151 this 93 151 sort 94 151 of 95 151 thing 96 151 is 97 151 unpleasant 98 151 enough. 99 151 It 100 151 touches 101 151 one's 102 151 sense 103 151 of 104 151 honour, 105 151 particularly 106 151 if 107 151 you 108 151 come 109 151 of 110 151 an 111 151 old 112 151 established 113 151 family 114 151 in 115 151 the 116 151 land, 117 151 the 118 151 Van 119 151 Rensselaers, 120 151 or 121 151 Randolphs, 122 151 or 123 151 Hardicanutes. 124 151 And 125 151 more 126 151 than 127 151 all, 128 151 if 129 151 just 130 151 previous 131 151 to 132 151 putting 133 151 your 134 151 hand 135 151 into 136 151 the 137 151 tar-pot, 138 151 you 139 151 have 140 151 been 141 151 lording 142 151 it 143 151 as 144 151 a 145 151 country 146 151 schoolmaster, 147 151 making 148 151 the 149 151 tallest 150 151 boys 1 152 stand 3 152 in 5 152 awe 7 152 of 9 152 you. 11 152 The 13 152 transition 15 152 is 17 152 a 21 152 keen 23 152 one, 25 152 I 27 152 assure 29 152 you, 31 152 from 33 152 a 35 152 schoolmaster 37 152 to 39 152 a 41 152 sailor, 43 152 and 45 152 requires 47 152 a 49 152 strong 51 152 decoction 53 152 of 55 152 Seneca 59 152 and 61 152 the 63 152 Stoics 65 152 to 67 152 enable 69 152 you 71 152 to 73 152 grin 75 152 and 77 152 bear 79 152 it. 81 152 But 83 152 even 85 152 this 87 152 wears 89 152 off 91 152 in 93 152 time. 97 152 What 99 152 of 101 152 it, 103 152 if 105 152 some 107 152 old 109 152 hunks 111 152 of 113 152 a 115 152 sea-captain 117 152 orders 119 152 me 121 152 to 123 152 get 125 152 a 127 152 broom 129 152 and 131 152 sweep 135 152 down 137 152 the 139 152 decks? 141 152 What 143 152 does 145 152 that 147 152 indignity 149 152 amount 151 152 to, 1 153 weighed, 2 153 I 4 153 mean, 5 153 in 7 153 the 8 153 scales 10 153 of 11 153 the 13 153 New 14 153 Testament? 16 153 Do 19 153 you 20 153 think 22 153 the 23 153 archangel 25 153 Gabriel 26 153 thinks 28 153 anything 29 153 the 31 153 less 32 153 of 35 153 me, 37 153 because 38 153 I 40 153 promptly 41 153 and 43 153 respectfully 44 153 obey 46 153 that 47 153 old 49 153 hunks 50 153 in 52 153 that 53 153 particular 55 153 instance? 56 153 Who 58 153 ain't 59 153 a 61 153 slave? 62 153 Tell 64 153 me 65 153 that. 67 153 Well, 70 153 then, 71 153 however 73 153 the 74 153 old 76 153 sea-captains 77 153 may 79 153 order 80 153 me 82 153 about--however 83 153 they 86 153 may 88 153 thump 89 153 and 91 153 punch 92 153 me 94 153 about, 95 153 I 97 153 have 98 153 the 100 153 satisfaction 101 153 of 103 153 knowing 104 153 that 106 153 it 107 153 is 109 153 all 110 153 right; 112 153 that 113 153 everybody 115 153 else 116 153 is 118 153 one 121 153 way 122 153 or 124 153 other 125 153 served 127 153 in 128 153 much 130 153 the 131 153 same 133 153 way--either 134 153 in 137 153 a 139 153 physical 140 153 or 142 153 metaphysical 143 153 point 145 153 of 146 153 view, 148 153 that 149 153 is; 151 153 and 152 153 so 1 154 the 3 154 universal 5 154 thump 9 154 is 13 154 passed 15 154 round, 17 154 and 19 154 all 23 154 hands 25 154 should 27 154 rub 29 154 each 31 154 other's 37 154 shoulder-blades, 39 154 and 41 154 be 43 154 content. 45 154 Again, 47 154 I 51 154 always 53 154 go 57 154 to 59 154 sea 61 154 as 65 154 a 67 154 sailor, 69 154 because 71 154 they 73 154 make 75 154 a 79 154 point 81 154 of 83 154 paying 85 154 me 87 154 for 89 154 my 93 154 trouble, 95 154 whereas 97 154 they 101 154 never 103 154 pay 107 154 passengers 109 154 a 111 154 single 113 154 penny 115 154 that 117 154 I 123 154 ever 125 154 heard 127 154 of. 129 154 On 131 154 the 135 154 contrary, 137 154 passengers 139 154 themselves 141 154 must 145 154 pay. 149 154 And 151 154 there 153 154 is 1 155 all 2 155 the 3 155 difference 4 155 in 6 155 the 7 155 world 8 155 between 9 155 paying 11 155 and 12 155 being 13 155 paid. 14 155 The 16 155 act 17 155 of 18 155 paying 19 155 is 21 155 perhaps 22 155 the 23 155 most 24 155 uncomfortable 26 155 infliction 27 155 that 28 155 the 29 155 two 32 155 orchard 33 155 thieves 34 155 entailed 36 155 upon 37 155 us. 38 155 But 39 155 BEING 41 155 PAID,--what 42 155 will 43 155 compare 44 155 with 46 155 it? 47 155 The 48 155 urbane 49 155 activity 51 155 with 52 155 which 53 155 a 54 155 man 56 155 receives 57 155 money 58 155 is 59 155 really 61 155 marvellous, 63 155 considering 64 155 that 66 155 we 67 155 so 68 155 earnestly 69 155 believe 71 155 money 72 155 to 73 155 be 74 155 the 76 155 root 77 155 of 78 155 all 79 155 earthly 81 155 ills, 82 155 and 83 155 that 84 155 on 86 155 no 87 155 account 88 155 can 89 155 a 91 155 monied 92 155 man 94 155 enter 96 155 heaven. 97 155 Ah! 98 155 how 99 155 cheerfully 101 155 we 102 155 consign 103 155 ourselves 104 155 to 106 155 perdition! 107 155 Finally, 108 155 I 109 155 always 111 155 go 112 155 to 113 155 sea 114 155 as 116 155 a 117 155 sailor, 118 155 because 119 155 of 121 155 the 122 155 wholesome 123 155 exercise 126 155 and 127 155 pure 128 155 air 129 155 of 131 155 the 132 155 fore-castle 133 155 deck. 134 155 For 136 155 as 137 155 in 138 155 this 139 155 world, 141 155 head 142 155 winds 143 155 are 144 155 far 146 155 more 147 155 prevalent 148 155 than 149 155 winds 151 155 from 152 155 astern 153 155 (that 154 155 is, 1 156 if 5 156 you 7 156 never 11 156 violate 17 156 the 19 156 Pythagorean 23 156 maxim), 25 156 so 29 156 for 31 156 the 35 156 most 37 156 part 41 156 the 43 156 Commodore 47 156 on 49 156 the 53 156 quarter-deck 55 156 gets 59 156 his 61 156 atmosphere 67 156 at 71 156 second 73 156 hand 77 156 from 79 156 the 83 156 sailors 85 156 on 89 156 the 95 156 forecastle. 97 156 He 101 156 thinks 103 156 he 107 156 breathes 109 156 it 113 156 first; 115 156 but 119 156 not 121 156 so. 125 156 In 127 156 much 131 156 the 133 156 same 137 156 way 139 156 do 145 156 the 149 156 commonalty 151 156 lead 155 156 their 1 157 leaders 2 157 in 3 157 many 4 157 other 5 157 things, 6 157 at 7 157 the 8 157 same 9 157 time 10 157 that 11 157 the 12 157 leaders 13 157 little 14 157 suspect 15 157 it. 16 157 But 17 157 wherefore 18 157 it 19 157 was 20 157 that 21 157 after 22 157 having 23 157 repeatedly 24 157 smelt 25 157 the 26 157 sea 27 157 as 28 157 a 29 157 merchant 30 157 sailor, 31 157 I 32 157 should 33 157 now 34 157 take 35 157 it 36 157 into 37 157 my 38 157 head 39 157 to 40 157 go 41 157 on 42 157 a 43 157 whaling 44 157 voyage; 45 157 this 46 157 the 47 157 invisible 48 157 police 49 157 officer 50 157 of 51 157 the 52 157 Fates, 53 157 who 54 157 has 55 157 the 56 157 constant 57 157 surveillance 58 157 of 59 157 me, 60 157 and 61 157 secretly 62 157 dogs 63 157 me, 64 157 and 65 157 influences 66 157 me 67 157 in 68 157 some 69 157 unaccountable 70 157 way--he 71 157 can 72 157 better 73 157 answer 74 157 than 75 157 any 76 157 one 77 157 else. 78 157 And, 79 157 doubtless, 80 157 my 81 157 going 82 157 on 83 157 this 84 157 whaling 85 157 voyage, 86 157 formed 87 157 part 88 157 of 89 157 the 90 157 grand 91 157 programme 92 157 of 93 157 Providence 94 157 that 95 157 was 96 157 drawn 97 157 up 98 157 a 99 157 long 100 157 time 101 157 ago. 102 157 It 103 157 came 104 157 in 105 157 as 106 157 a 107 157 sort 108 157 of 109 157 brief 110 157 interlude 111 157 and 112 157 solo 113 157 between 114 157 more 115 157 extensive 116 157 performances. 117 157 I 118 157 take 119 157 it 120 157 that 121 157 this 122 157 part 123 157 of 124 157 the 125 157 bill 126 157 must 127 157 have 128 157 run 129 157 something 130 157 like 131 157 this: 132 157 "GRAND 133 157 CONTESTED 134 157 ELECTION 135 157 FOR 136 157 THE 137 157 PRESIDENCY 138 157 OF 139 157 THE 140 157 UNITED 141 157 STATES. 142 157 "WHALING 143 157 VOYAGE 144 157 BY 145 157 ONE 146 157 ISHMAEL. 147 157 "BLOODY 148 157 BATTLE 149 157 IN 150 157 AFFGHANISTAN." 151 157 Though 152 157 I 153 157 cannot 154 157 tell 155 157 why 156 157 it 1 158 was 3 158 exactly 5 158 that 7 158 those 9 158 stage 11 158 managers, 13 158 the 15 158 Fates, 17 158 put 19 158 me 21 158 down 23 158 for 25 158 this 27 158 shabby 29 158 part 31 158 of 33 158 a 35 158 whaling 37 158 voyage, 39 158 when 41 158 others 43 158 were 45 158 set 47 158 down 49 158 for 51 158 magnificent 53 158 parts 55 158 in 57 158 high 59 158 tragedies, 61 158 and 63 158 short 65 158 and 67 158 easy 69 158 parts 71 158 in 73 158 genteel 75 158 comedies, 77 158 and 81 158 jolly 83 158 parts 85 158 in 87 158 farces--though 89 158 I 91 158 cannot 93 158 tell 95 158 why 97 158 this 99 158 was 101 158 exactly; 103 158 yet, 105 158 now 107 158 that 109 158 I 111 158 recall 113 158 all 115 158 the 117 158 circumstances, 119 158 I 121 158 think 123 158 I 125 158 can 127 158 see 129 158 a 131 158 little 133 158 into 135 158 the 137 158 springs 139 158 and 141 158 motives 143 158 which 145 158 being 147 158 cunningly 149 158 presented 151 158 to 153 158 me 155 158 under 157 158 various 1 159 disguises, 2 159 induced 4 159 me 5 159 to 7 159 set 8 159 about 10 159 performing 11 159 the 13 159 part 14 159 I 16 159 did, 17 159 besides 19 159 cajoling 20 159 me 22 159 into 23 159 the 25 159 delusion 26 159 that 28 159 it 29 159 was 31 159 a 32 159 choice 34 159 resulting 35 159 from 37 159 my 38 159 own 40 159 unbiased 41 159 freewill 43 159 and 44 159 discriminating 46 159 judgment. 47 159 Chief 49 159 among 50 159 these 52 159 motives 55 159 was 56 159 the 58 159 overwhelming 59 159 idea 61 159 of 62 159 the 64 159 great 65 159 whale 67 159 himself. 68 159 Such 70 159 a 71 159 portentous 73 159 and 74 159 mysterious 76 159 monster 77 159 roused 79 159 all 80 159 my 82 159 curiosity. 83 159 Then 85 159 the 86 159 wild 88 159 and 89 159 distant 91 159 seas 92 159 where 94 159 he 95 159 rolled 97 159 his 98 159 island 100 159 bulk; 101 159 the 103 159 undeliverable, 104 159 nameless 107 159 perils 109 159 of 110 159 the 112 159 whale; 113 159 these, 115 159 with 116 159 all 118 159 the 119 159 attending 121 159 marvels 122 159 of 124 159 a 125 159 thousand 127 159 Patagonian 128 159 sights 130 159 and 131 159 sounds, 133 159 helped 134 159 to 136 159 sway 137 159 me 139 159 to 140 159 my 142 159 wish. 143 159 With 145 159 other 146 159 men, 148 159 perhaps, 149 159 such 151 159 things 152 159 would 154 159 not 155 159 have 157 159 been 158 159 inducements; 1 160 but 3 160 as 7 160 for 9 160 me, 11 160 I 13 160 am 17 160 tormented 19 160 with 21 160 an 23 160 everlasting 27 160 itch 29 160 for 31 160 things 33 160 remote. 37 160 I 39 160 love 41 160 to 43 160 sail 47 160 forbidden 49 160 seas, 51 160 and 53 160 land 57 160 on 59 160 barbarous 61 160 coasts. 63 160 Not 67 160 ignoring 69 160 what 71 160 is 73 160 good, 77 160 I 79 160 am 81 160 quick 83 160 to 87 160 perceive 89 160 a 91 160 horror, 93 160 and 97 160 could 99 160 still 101 160 be 103 160 social 107 160 with 109 160 it--would 111 160 they 113 160 let 117 160 me--since 119 160 it 121 160 is 123 160 but 127 160 well 129 160 to 131 160 be 133 160 on 137 160 friendly 139 160 terms 141 160 with 143 160 all 147 160 the 149 160 inmates 151 160 of 153 160 the 157 160 place 159 160 one 1 161 lodges 2 161 in. 3 161 By 4 161 reason 5 161 of 6 161 these 8 161 things, 9 161 then, 10 161 the 11 161 whaling 12 161 voyage 13 161 was 15 161 welcome; 16 161 the 17 161 great 18 161 flood-gates 19 161 of 20 161 the 22 161 wonder-world 24 161 swung 25 161 open, 26 161 and 27 161 in 29 161 the 30 161 wild 31 161 conceits 32 161 that 33 161 swayed 34 161 me 36 161 to 37 161 my 38 161 purpose, 39 161 two 40 161 and 41 161 two 43 161 there 44 161 floated 45 161 into 47 161 my 48 161 inmost 50 161 soul, 51 161 endless 52 161 processions 53 161 of 54 161 the 55 161 whale, 57 161 and, 58 161 mid 59 161 most 60 161 of 61 161 them 62 161 all, 64 161 one 65 161 grand 66 161 hooded 67 161 phantom, 68 161 like 71 161 a 72 161 snow 73 161 hill 74 161 in 75 161 the 76 161 air. 78 161 CHAPTER 79 161 2 80 161 The 81 161 Carpet-Bag. 82 161 I 83 161 stuffed 85 161 a 86 161 shirt 87 161 or 88 161 two 89 161 into 90 161 my 93 161 old 94 161 carpet-bag, 95 161 tucked 96 161 it 97 161 under 99 161 my 100 161 arm, 101 161 and 102 161 started 103 161 for 104 161 Cape 106 161 Horn 107 161 and 108 161 the 109 161 Pacific. 110 161 Quitting 111 161 the 113 161 good 114 161 city 116 161 of 117 161 old 118 161 Manhatto, 120 161 I 121 161 duly 122 161 arrived 123 161 in 124 161 New 125 161 Bedford. 127 161 It 128 161 was 129 161 a 130 161 Saturday 131 161 night 132 161 in 134 161 December. 135 161 Much 136 161 was 137 161 I 139 161 disappointed 141 161 upon 142 161 learning 143 161 that 144 161 the 145 161 little 146 161 packet 148 161 for 149 161 Nantucket 150 161 had 151 161 already 152 161 sailed, 153 161 and 155 161 that 156 161 no 157 161 way 158 161 of 159 161 reaching 160 161 that 1 162 place 5 162 would 7 162 offer, 11 162 till 13 162 the 17 162 following 19 162 Monday. 23 162 As 25 162 most 29 162 young 31 162 candidates 35 162 for 37 162 the 41 162 pains 43 162 and 47 162 penalties 49 162 of 53 162 whaling 55 162 stop 59 162 at 61 162 this 65 162 same 67 162 New 71 162 Bedford, 73 162 thence 77 162 to 79 162 embark 83 162 on 85 162 their 89 162 voyage, 91 162 it 95 162 may 97 162 as 101 162 well 103 162 be 107 162 related 109 162 that 113 162 I, 115 162 for 119 162 one, 121 162 had 125 162 no 127 162 idea 131 162 of 133 162 so 137 162 doing. 139 162 For 143 162 my 145 162 mind 149 162 was 151 162 made 155 162 up 157 162 to 161 162 sail 1 163 in 2 163 no 3 163 other 4 163 than 5 163 a 6 163 Nantucket 7 163 craft, 8 163 because 9 163 there 10 163 was 11 163 a 12 163 fine, 13 163 boisterous 14 163 something 15 163 about 16 163 everything 17 163 connected 18 163 with 19 163 that 20 163 famous 21 163 old 22 163 island, 23 163 which 24 163 amazingly 25 163 pleased 26 163 me. 27 163 Besides 28 163 though 29 163 New 30 163 Bedford 31 163 has 32 163 of 33 163 late 34 163 been 35 163 gradually 36 163 monopolising 37 163 the 38 163 business 39 163 of 40 163 whaling, 41 163 and 42 163 though 43 163 in 44 163 this 45 163 matter 46 163 poor 47 163 old 48 163 Nantucket 49 163 is 50 163 now 51 163 much 52 163 behind 53 163 her, 54 163 yet 55 163 Nantucket 56 163 was 57 163 her 58 163 great 59 163 original--the 60 163 Tyre 61 163 of 62 163 this 63 163 Carthage;--the 64 163 place 65 163 where 66 163 the 67 163 first 68 163 dead 69 163 American 70 163 whale 71 163 was 72 163 stranded. 73 163 Where 74 163 else 75 163 but 76 163 from 77 163 Nantucket 78 163 did 79 163 those 80 163 aboriginal 81 163 whalemen, 82 163 the 83 163 Red-Men, 84 163 first 85 163 sally 86 163 out 87 163 in 88 163 canoes 89 163 to 90 163 give 91 163 chase 92 163 to 93 163 the 94 163 Leviathan? 95 163 And 96 163 where 97 163 but 98 163 from 99 163 Nantucket, 100 163 too, 101 163 did 102 163 that 103 163 first 104 163 adventurous 105 163 little 106 163 sloop 107 163 put 108 163 forth, 109 163 partly 110 163 laden 111 163 with 112 163 imported 113 163 cobblestones--so 114 163 goes 115 163 the 116 163 story--to 117 163 throw 118 163 at 119 163 the 120 163 whales, 121 163 in 122 163 order 123 163 to 124 163 discover 125 163 when 126 163 they 127 163 were 128 163 nigh 129 163 enough 130 163 to 131 163 risk 132 163 a 133 163 harpoon 134 163 from 135 163 the 136 163 bowsprit? 137 163 Now 138 163 having 139 163 a 140 163 night, 141 163 a 142 163 day, 143 163 and 144 163 still 145 163 another 146 163 night 147 163 following 148 163 before 149 163 me 150 163 in 151 163 New 152 163 Bedford, 153 163 ere 154 163 I 155 163 could 156 163 embark 157 163 for 158 163 my 159 163 destined 160 163 port, 161 163 it 162 163 became 1 164 a 3 164 matter 5 164 of 7 164 concernment 9 164 where 11 164 I 13 164 was 15 164 to 17 164 eat 19 164 and 21 164 sleep 23 164 meanwhile. 25 164 It 27 164 was 29 164 a 31 164 very 33 164 dubious-looking, 35 164 nay, 37 164 a 39 164 very 43 164 dark 45 164 and 47 164 dismal 49 164 night, 51 164 bitingly 53 164 cold 55 164 and 57 164 cheerless. 59 164 I 61 164 knew 63 164 no 65 164 one 67 164 in 69 164 the 71 164 place. 73 164 With 75 164 anxious 77 164 grapnels 79 164 I 81 164 had 83 164 sounded 85 164 my 87 164 pocket, 89 164 and 91 164 only 93 164 brought 95 164 up 97 164 a 99 164 few 101 164 pieces 103 164 of 105 164 silver,--So, 107 164 wherever 109 164 you 111 164 go, 113 164 Ishmael, 115 164 said 117 164 I 119 164 to 121 164 myself, 125 164 as 127 164 I 129 164 stood 131 164 in 133 164 the 135 164 middle 137 164 of 139 164 a 141 164 dreary 143 164 street 145 164 shouldering 147 164 my 149 164 bag, 151 164 and 153 164 comparing 155 164 the 157 164 gloom 159 164 towards 161 164 the 163 164 north 1 165 with 2 165 the 4 165 darkness 7 165 towards 8 165 the 13 165 south--wherever 14 165 in 16 165 your 17 165 wisdom 19 165 you 23 165 may 26 165 conclude 28 165 to 29 165 lodge 31 165 for 32 165 the 34 165 night, 37 165 my 38 165 dear 41 165 Ishmael, 43 165 be 46 165 sure 47 165 to 49 165 inquire 52 165 the 53 165 price, 56 165 and 58 165 don't 59 165 be 61 165 too 62 165 particular. 64 165 With 67 165 halting 68 165 steps 71 165 I 73 165 paced 74 165 the 76 165 streets, 79 165 and 82 165 passed 83 165 the 86 165 sign 89 165 of 91 165 "The 92 165 Crossed 94 165 Harpoons"--but 97 165 it 98 165 looked 101 165 too 103 165 expensive 104 165 and 106 165 jolly 107 165 there. 109 165 Further 112 165 on, 113 165 from 116 165 the 118 165 bright 119 165 red 122 165 windows 124 165 of 127 165 the 128 165 "Sword-Fish 131 165 Inn," 133 165 there 134 165 came 136 165 such 137 165 fervent 139 165 rays, 142 165 that 146 165 it 148 165 seemed 149 165 to 151 165 have 152 165 melted 157 165 the 158 165 packed 161 165 snow 163 165 and 164 165 ice 1 166 from 3 166 before 5 166 the 7 166 house, 9 166 for 11 166 everywhere 13 166 else 15 166 the 17 166 congealed 19 166 frost 21 166 lay 23 166 ten 25 166 inches 27 166 thick 29 166 in 31 166 a 33 166 hard, 35 166 asphaltic 37 166 pavement,--rather 39 166 weary 41 166 for 43 166 me, 45 166 when 47 166 I 49 166 struck 51 166 my 53 166 foot 55 166 against 57 166 the 59 166 flinty 61 166 projections, 63 166 because 65 166 from 67 166 hard, 69 166 remorseless 71 166 service 73 166 the 75 166 soles 77 166 of 79 166 my 81 166 boots 85 166 were 87 166 in 89 166 a 91 166 most 93 166 miserable 95 166 plight. 97 166 Too 99 166 expensive 101 166 and 103 166 jolly, 105 166 again 107 166 thought 109 166 I, 111 166 pausing 113 166 one 115 166 moment 117 166 to 119 166 watch 121 166 the 123 166 broad 125 166 glare 127 166 in 129 166 the 131 166 street, 133 166 and 135 166 hear 137 166 the 139 166 sounds 141 166 of 143 166 the 145 166 tinkling 147 166 glasses 149 166 within. 151 166 But 153 166 go 155 166 on, 157 166 Ishmael, 159 166 said 161 166 I 163 166 at 165 166 last; 1 167 don't 2 167 you 3 167 hear? 4 167 get 5 167 away 6 167 from 7 167 before 8 167 the 9 167 door; 10 167 your 11 167 patched 12 167 boots 13 167 are 14 167 stopping 15 167 the 16 167 way. 17 167 So 18 167 on 19 167 I 20 167 went. 21 167 I 22 167 now 23 167 by 24 167 instinct 25 167 followed 26 167 the 27 167 streets 28 167 that 29 167 took 30 167 me 31 167 waterward, 32 167 for 33 167 there, 34 167 doubtless, 35 167 were 36 167 the 37 167 cheapest, 38 167 if 39 167 not 40 167 the 41 167 cheeriest 42 167 inns. 43 167 Such 44 167 dreary 45 167 streets! 46 167 blocks 47 167 of 48 167 blackness, 49 167 not 50 167 houses, 51 167 on 52 167 either 53 167 hand, 54 167 and 55 167 here 56 167 and 57 167 there 58 167 a 59 167 candle, 60 167 like 61 167 a 62 167 candle 63 167 moving 64 167 about 65 167 in 66 167 a 67 167 tomb. 68 167 At 69 167 this 70 167 hour 71 167 of 72 167 the 73 167 night, 74 167 of 75 167 the 76 167 last 77 167 day 78 167 of 79 167 the 80 167 week, 81 167 that 82 167 quarter 83 167 of 84 167 the 85 167 town 86 167 proved 87 167 all 88 167 but 89 167 deserted. 90 167 But 91 167 presently 92 167 I 93 167 came 94 167 to 95 167 a 96 167 smoky 97 167 light 98 167 proceeding 99 167 from 100 167 a 101 167 low, 102 167 wide 103 167 building, 104 167 the 105 167 door 106 167 of 107 167 which 108 167 stood 109 167 invitingly 110 167 open. 111 167 It 112 167 had 113 167 a 114 167 careless 115 167 look, 116 167 as 117 167 if 118 167 it 119 167 were 120 167 meant 121 167 for 122 167 the 123 167 uses 124 167 of 125 167 the 126 167 public; 127 167 so, 128 167 entering, 129 167 the 130 167 first 131 167 thing 132 167 I 133 167 did 134 167 was 135 167 to 136 167 stumble 137 167 over 138 167 an 139 167 ash-box 140 167 in 141 167 the 142 167 porch. 143 167 Ha! 144 167 thought 145 167 I, 146 167 ha, 147 167 as 148 167 the 149 167 flying 150 167 particles 151 167 almost 152 167 choked 153 167 me, 154 167 are 155 167 these 156 167 ashes 157 167 from 158 167 that 159 167 destroyed 160 167 city, 161 167 Gomorrah? 162 167 But 163 167 "The 164 167 Crossed 165 167 Harpoons," 166 167 and 1 168 "The 5 168 Sword-Fish?"--this, 11 168 then 13 168 must 17 168 needs 19 168 be 23 168 the 25 168 sign 29 168 of 31 168 "The 37 168 Trap." 41 168 However, 43 168 I 47 168 picked 53 168 myself 55 168 up 59 168 and 61 168 hearing 65 168 a 67 168 loud 71 168 voice 73 168 within, 79 168 pushed 83 168 on 85 168 and 89 168 opened 95 168 a 97 168 second, 101 168 interior 103 168 door. 107 168 It 109 168 seemed 113 168 the 115 168 great 121 168 Black 125 168 Parliament 127 168 sitting 131 168 in 137 168 Tophet. 139 168 A 143 168 hundred 145 168 black 149 168 faces 151 168 turned 155 168 round 157 168 in 163 168 their 167 168 rows 1 169 to 2 169 peer; 3 169 and 4 169 beyond, 5 169 a 6 169 black 7 169 Angel 8 169 of 9 169 Doom 10 169 was 11 169 beating 12 169 a 14 169 book 15 169 in 16 169 a 17 169 pulpit. 18 169 It 19 169 was 20 169 a 21 169 negro 22 169 church; 23 169 and 24 169 the 25 169 preacher's 27 169 text 28 169 was 29 169 about 30 169 the 31 169 blackness 32 169 of 33 169 darkness, 34 169 and 35 169 the 36 169 weeping 37 169 and 38 169 wailing 40 169 and 41 169 teeth-gnashing 42 169 there. 43 169 Ha, 44 169 Ishmael, 45 169 muttered 46 169 I, 47 169 backing 48 169 out, 49 169 Wretched 50 169 entertainment 51 169 at 53 169 the 54 169 sign 55 169 of 56 169 'The 57 169 Trap!' 58 169 Moving 59 169 on, 60 169 I 61 169 at 62 169 last 63 169 came 64 169 to 66 169 a 67 169 dim 68 169 sort 69 169 of 70 169 light 71 169 not 72 169 far 73 169 from 74 169 the 75 169 docks, 76 169 and 77 169 heard 79 169 a 80 169 forlorn 81 169 creaking 82 169 in 83 169 the 84 169 air; 85 169 and 86 169 looking 87 169 up, 88 169 saw 89 169 a 90 169 swinging 92 169 sign 93 169 over 94 169 the 95 169 door 96 169 with 97 169 a 98 169 white 99 169 painting 100 169 upon 101 169 it, 102 169 faintly 103 169 representing 105 169 a 106 169 tall 107 169 straight 108 169 jet 109 169 of 110 169 misty 111 169 spray, 112 169 and 113 169 these 114 169 words 115 169 underneath--"The 116 169 Spouter 118 169 Inn:--Peter 119 169 Coffin." 120 169 Coffin?--Spouter?--Rather 121 169 ominous 122 169 in 123 169 that 124 169 particular 125 169 connexion, 126 169 thought 127 169 I. 128 169 But 129 169 it 131 169 is 132 169 a 133 169 common 134 169 name 135 169 in 136 169 Nantucket, 137 169 they 138 169 say, 139 169 and 140 169 I 141 169 suppose 142 169 this 144 169 Peter 145 169 here 146 169 is 147 169 an 148 169 emigrant 149 169 from 150 169 there. 151 169 As 152 169 the 153 169 light 154 169 looked 155 169 so 157 169 dim, 158 169 and 159 169 the 160 169 place, 161 169 for 162 169 the 163 169 time, 164 169 looked 165 169 quiet 166 169 enough, 167 169 and 168 169 the 1 170 dilapidated 3 170 little 7 170 wooden 9 170 house 11 170 itself 13 170 looked 19 170 as 21 170 if 23 170 it 27 170 might 29 170 have 31 170 been 33 170 carted 37 170 here 39 170 from 41 170 the 43 170 ruins 47 170 of 49 170 some 53 170 burnt 57 170 district, 59 170 and 61 170 as 63 170 the 67 170 swinging 69 170 sign 71 170 had 73 170 a 77 170 poverty-stricken 79 170 sort 81 170 of 83 170 creak 87 170 to 89 170 it, 91 170 I 93 170 thought 97 170 that 99 170 here 101 170 was 103 170 the 107 170 very 109 170 spot 111 170 for 113 170 cheap 117 170 lodgings, 121 170 and 123 170 the 127 170 best 129 170 of 131 170 pea 133 170 coffee. 137 170 It 139 170 was 141 170 a 143 170 queer 147 170 sort 149 170 of 151 170 place--a 157 170 gable-ended 159 170 old 161 170 house, 163 170 one 167 170 side 169 170 palsied 1 171 as 2 171 it 4 171 were, 5 171 and 7 171 leaning 8 171 over 10 171 sadly. 11 171 It 13 171 stood 14 171 on 16 171 a 17 171 sharp 20 171 bleak 22 171 corner, 23 171 where 25 171 that 26 171 tempestuous 28 171 wind 29 171 Euroclydon 31 171 kept 32 171 up 34 171 a 35 171 worse 37 171 howling 40 171 than 41 171 ever 43 171 it 44 171 did 46 171 about 47 171 poor 49 171 Paul's 50 171 tossed 52 171 craft. 53 171 Euroclydon, 55 171 nevertheless, 56 171 is 58 171 a 59 171 mighty 61 171 pleasant 62 171 zephyr 64 171 to 65 171 any 67 171 one 68 171 in-doors, 70 171 with 71 171 his 73 171 feet 74 171 on 77 171 the 79 171 hob 80 171 quietly 82 171 toasting 83 171 for 85 171 bed. 86 171 "In 88 171 judging 89 171 of 91 171 that 92 171 tempestuous 94 171 wind 97 171 called 98 171 Euroclydon," 100 171 says 101 171 an 103 171 old 104 171 writer--of 106 171 whose 107 171 works 109 171 I 110 171 possess 112 171 the 113 171 only 115 171 copy 116 171 extant--"it 118 171 maketh 119 171 a 121 171 marvellous 122 171 difference, 124 171 whether 125 171 thou 127 171 lookest 128 171 out 130 171 at 131 171 it 134 171 from 136 171 a 137 171 glass 139 171 window 140 171 where 142 171 the 143 171 frost 145 171 is 146 171 all 148 171 on 149 171 the 151 171 outside, 154 171 or 155 171 whether 157 171 thou 158 171 observest 160 171 it 161 171 from 163 171 that 164 171 sashless 166 171 window, 167 171 where 169 171 the 170 171 frost 1 172 is 3 172 on 5 172 both 7 172 sides, 9 172 and 11 172 of 13 172 which 15 172 the 17 172 wight 19 172 Death 21 172 is 23 172 the 25 172 only 27 172 glazier." 29 172 True 31 172 enough, 33 172 thought 35 172 I, 37 172 as 39 172 this 41 172 passage 45 172 occurred 47 172 to 49 172 my 51 172 mind--old 53 172 black-letter, 55 172 thou 57 172 reasonest 59 172 well. 61 172 Yes, 63 172 these 65 172 eyes 67 172 are 69 172 windows, 71 172 and 73 172 this 75 172 body 77 172 of 79 172 mine 81 172 is 83 172 the 85 172 house. 87 172 What 89 172 a 91 172 pity 93 172 they 95 172 didn't 97 172 stop 99 172 up 101 172 the 103 172 chinks 105 172 and 107 172 the 109 172 crannies 111 172 though, 113 172 and 115 172 thrust 117 172 in 119 172 a 121 172 little 123 172 lint 125 172 here 127 172 and 131 172 there. 133 172 But 135 172 it's 137 172 too 139 172 late 141 172 to 143 172 make 145 172 any 147 172 improvements 149 172 now. 151 172 The 153 172 universe 155 172 is 157 172 finished; 159 172 the 161 172 copestone 163 172 is 165 172 on, 167 172 and 169 172 the 171 172 chips 1 173 were 2 173 carted 3 173 off 4 173 a 5 173 million 6 173 years 7 173 ago. 8 173 Poor 9 173 Lazarus 10 173 there, 11 173 chattering 12 173 his 13 173 teeth 14 173 against 15 173 the 16 173 curbstone 17 173 for 18 173 his 19 173 pillow, 20 173 and 21 173 shaking 22 173 off 23 173 his 24 173 tatters 25 173 with 26 173 his 27 173 shiverings, 28 173 he 29 173 might 30 173 plug 31 173 up 32 173 both 33 173 ears 34 173 with 35 173 rags, 36 173 and 37 173 put 38 173 a 39 173 corn-cob 40 173 into 41 173 his 42 173 mouth, 43 173 and 44 173 yet 45 173 that 46 173 would 47 173 not 48 173 keep 49 173 out 50 173 the 51 173 tempestuous 52 173 Euroclydon. 53 173 Euroclydon! 54 173 says 55 173 old 56 173 Dives, 57 173 in 58 173 his 59 173 red 60 173 silken 61 173 wrapper--(he 62 173 had 63 173 a 64 173 redder 65 173 one 66 173 afterwards) 67 173 pooh, 68 173 pooh! 69 173 What 70 173 a 71 173 fine 72 173 frosty 73 173 night; 74 173 how 75 173 Orion 76 173 glitters; 77 173 what 78 173 northern 79 173 lights! 80 173 Let 81 173 them 82 173 talk 83 173 of 84 173 their 85 173 oriental 86 173 summer 87 173 climes 88 173 of 89 173 everlasting 90 173 conservatories; 91 173 give 92 173 me 93 173 the 94 173 privilege 95 173 of 96 173 making 97 173 my 98 173 own 99 173 summer 100 173 with 101 173 my 102 173 own 103 173 coals. 104 173 But 105 173 what 106 173 thinks 107 173 Lazarus? 108 173 Can 109 173 he 110 173 warm 111 173 his 112 173 blue 113 173 hands 114 173 by 115 173 holding 116 173 them 117 173 up 118 173 to 119 173 the 120 173 grand 121 173 northern 122 173 lights? 123 173 Would 124 173 not 125 173 Lazarus 126 173 rather 127 173 be 128 173 in 129 173 Sumatra 130 173 than 131 173 here? 132 173 Would 133 173 he 134 173 not 135 173 far 136 173 rather 137 173 lay 138 173 him 139 173 down 140 173 lengthwise 141 173 along 142 173 the 143 173 line 144 173 of 145 173 the 146 173 equator; 147 173 yea, 148 173 ye 149 173 gods! 150 173 go 151 173 down 152 173 to 153 173 the 154 173 fiery 155 173 pit 156 173 itself, 157 173 in 158 173 order 159 173 to 160 173 keep 161 173 out 162 173 this 163 173 frost? 164 173 Now, 165 173 that 166 173 Lazarus 167 173 should 168 173 lie 169 173 stranded 170 173 there 171 173 on 172 173 the 1 174 curbstone 5 174 before 7 174 the 11 174 door 13 174 of 17 174 Dives, 19 174 this 23 174 is 25 174 more 31 174 wonderful 35 174 than 37 174 that 41 174 an 43 174 iceberg 47 174 should 49 174 be 53 174 moored 55 174 to 59 174 one 61 174 of 65 174 the 67 174 Moluccas. 71 174 Yet 73 174 Dives 77 174 himself, 79 174 he 83 174 too 85 174 lives 89 174 like 91 174 a 95 174 Czar 97 174 in 101 174 an 103 174 ice 107 174 palace 109 174 made 113 174 of 115 174 frozen 119 174 sighs, 121 174 and 125 174 being 127 174 a 131 174 president 133 174 of 137 174 a 139 174 temperance 143 174 society, 149 174 he 151 174 only 155 174 drinks 157 174 the 161 174 tepid 163 174 tears 167 174 of 169 174 orphans. 173 174 But 1 175 no 2 175 more 3 175 of 4 175 this 6 175 blubbering 8 175 now, 9 175 we 11 175 are 12 175 going 13 175 a-whaling, 16 175 and 17 175 there 18 175 is 19 175 plenty 22 175 of 23 175 that 24 175 yet 26 175 to 27 175 come. 29 175 Let 31 175 us 32 175 scrape 33 175 the 34 175 ice 36 175 from 37 175 our 38 175 frosted 39 175 feet, 41 175 and 43 175 see 44 175 what 46 175 sort 47 175 of 48 175 a 51 175 place 52 175 this 53 175 "Spouter" 54 175 may 57 175 be. 58 175 CHAPTER 59 175 3 61 175 The 62 175 Spouter-Inn. 64 175 Entering 66 175 that 67 175 gable-ended 68 175 Spouter-Inn, 69 175 you 71 175 found 72 175 yourself 73 175 in 74 175 a 76 175 wide, 78 175 low, 79 175 straggling 81 175 entry 82 175 with 83 175 old-fashioned 86 175 wainscots, 87 175 reminding 88 175 one 89 175 of 92 175 the 93 175 bulwarks 94 175 of 96 175 some 97 175 condemned 99 175 old 101 175 craft. 102 175 On 103 175 one 104 175 side 106 175 hung 107 175 a 108 175 very 109 175 large 111 175 oilpainting 113 175 so 114 175 thoroughly 116 175 besmoked, 117 175 and 118 175 every 121 175 way 122 175 defaced, 123 175 that 124 175 in 127 175 the 128 175 unequal 129 175 crosslights 131 175 by 132 175 which 134 175 you 136 175 viewed 137 175 it, 138 175 it 139 175 was 141 175 only 142 175 by 143 175 diligent 144 175 study 146 175 and 148 175 a 149 175 series 151 175 of 152 175 systematic 153 175 visits 156 175 to 157 175 it, 158 175 and 159 175 careful 162 175 inquiry 163 175 of 164 175 the 166 175 neighbors, 167 175 that 169 175 you 171 175 could 172 175 any 173 175 way 174 175 arrive 1 176 at 3 176 an 5 176 understanding 7 176 of 9 176 its 13 176 purpose. 15 176 Such 17 176 unaccountable 19 176 masses 21 176 of 23 176 shades 25 176 and 27 176 shadows, 29 176 that 31 176 at 35 176 first 37 176 you 39 176 almost 41 176 thought 43 176 some 45 176 ambitious 47 176 young 49 176 artist, 51 176 in 53 176 the 57 176 time 59 176 of 61 176 the 63 176 New 65 176 England 67 176 hags, 69 176 had 71 176 endeavored 73 176 to 75 176 delineate 79 176 chaos 81 176 bewitched. 83 176 But 85 176 by 87 176 dint 89 176 of 91 176 much 93 176 and 95 176 earnest 97 176 contemplation, 101 176 and 103 176 oft 105 176 repeated 107 176 ponderings, 109 176 and 111 176 especially 113 176 by 115 176 throwing 117 176 open 119 176 the 123 176 little 125 176 window 127 176 towards 129 176 the 131 176 back 133 176 of 135 176 the 137 176 entry, 139 176 you 141 176 at 145 176 last 147 176 come 149 176 to 151 176 the 153 176 conclusion 155 176 that 157 176 such 159 176 an 161 176 idea, 163 176 however 167 176 wild, 169 176 might 171 176 not 173 176 be 175 176 altogether 1 177 unwarranted. 2 177 But 4 177 what 5 177 most 7 177 puzzled 8 177 and 10 177 confounded 11 177 you 13 177 was 14 177 a 16 177 long, 17 177 limber, 19 177 portentous, 20 177 black 22 177 mass 23 177 of 25 177 something 26 177 hovering 28 177 in 29 177 the 31 177 centre 32 177 of 34 177 the 35 177 picture 37 177 over 38 177 three 40 177 blue, 41 177 dim, 43 177 perpendicular 44 177 lines 46 177 floating 47 177 in 49 177 a 50 177 nameless 52 177 yeast. 53 177 A 55 177 boggy, 56 177 soggy, 58 177 squitchy 61 177 picture 62 177 truly, 64 177 enough 65 177 to 67 177 drive 68 177 a 70 177 nervous 71 177 man 73 177 distracted. 74 177 Yet 76 177 was 77 177 there 79 177 a 80 177 sort 82 177 of 83 177 indefinite, 85 177 half-attained, 86 177 unimaginable 88 177 sublimity 89 177 about 91 177 it 92 177 that 94 177 fairly 95 177 froze 97 177 you 98 177 to 100 177 it, 101 177 till 103 177 you 104 177 involuntarily 106 177 took 107 177 an 109 177 oath 110 177 with 112 177 yourself 113 177 to 115 177 find 116 177 out 119 177 what 121 177 that 122 177 marvellous 124 177 painting 125 177 meant. 127 177 Ever 128 177 and 130 177 anon 131 177 a 133 177 bright, 134 177 but, 136 177 alas, 137 177 deceptive 139 177 idea 140 177 would 142 177 dart 143 177 you 145 177 through.--It's 146 177 the 148 177 Black 149 177 Sea 151 177 in 152 177 a 154 177 midnight 155 177 gale.--It's 157 177 the 158 177 unnatural 160 177 combat 161 177 of 163 177 the 164 177 four 166 177 primal 167 177 elements.--It's 169 177 a 170 177 blasted 172 177 heath.--It's 173 177 a 175 177 Hyperborean 176 177 winter 1 178 scene.--It's 3 178 the 5 178 breaking-up 7 178 of 9 178 the 11 178 icebound 13 178 stream 15 178 of 17 178 Time. 19 178 But 21 178 at 23 178 last 25 178 all 27 178 these 29 178 fancies 31 178 yielded 33 178 to 35 178 that 37 178 one 39 178 portentous 41 178 something 43 178 in 45 178 the 47 178 picture's 49 178 midst. 51 178 THAT 53 178 once 55 178 found 57 178 out, 59 178 and 61 178 all 63 178 the 65 178 rest 67 178 were 69 178 plain. 71 178 But 73 178 stop; 75 178 does 77 178 it 79 178 not 81 178 bear 83 178 a 85 178 faint 87 178 resemblance 91 178 to 93 178 a 95 178 gigantic 97 178 fish? 99 178 even 101 178 the 103 178 great 105 178 leviathan 107 178 himself? 109 178 In 111 178 fact, 113 178 the 115 178 artist's 117 178 design 119 178 seemed 121 178 this: 123 178 a 125 178 final 127 178 theory 129 178 of 131 178 my 133 178 own, 135 178 partly 137 178 based 139 178 upon 141 178 the 143 178 aggregated 145 178 opinions 147 178 of 149 178 many 151 178 aged 153 178 persons 155 178 with 157 178 whom 159 178 I 161 178 conversed 163 178 upon 165 178 the 167 178 subject. 169 178 The 171 178 picture 173 178 represents 175 178 a 177 178 Cape-Horner 1 179 in 2 179 a 3 179 great 4 179 hurricane; 5 179 the 6 179 half-foundered 7 179 ship 8 179 weltering 9 179 there 10 179 with 11 179 its 12 179 three 13 179 dismantled 14 179 masts 15 179 alone 16 179 visible; 17 179 and 18 179 an 19 179 exasperated 20 179 whale, 21 179 purposing 22 179 to 23 179 spring 24 179 clean 25 179 over 26 179 the 27 179 craft, 28 179 is 29 179 in 30 179 the 31 179 enormous 32 179 act 33 179 of 34 179 impaling 35 179 himself 36 179 upon 37 179 the 38 179 three 39 179 mast-heads. 40 179 The 41 179 opposite 42 179 wall 43 179 of 44 179 this 45 179 entry 46 179 was 47 179 hung 48 179 all 49 179 over 50 179 with 51 179 a 52 179 heathenish 53 179 array 54 179 of 55 179 monstrous 56 179 clubs 57 179 and 58 179 spears. 59 179 Some 60 179 were 61 179 thickly 62 179 set 63 179 with 64 179 glittering 65 179 teeth 66 179 resembling 67 179 ivory 68 179 saws; 69 179 others 70 179 were 71 179 tufted 72 179 with 73 179 knots 74 179 of 75 179 human 76 179 hair; 77 179 and 78 179 one 79 179 was 80 179 sickle-shaped, 81 179 with 82 179 a 83 179 vast 84 179 handle 85 179 sweeping 86 179 round 87 179 like 88 179 the 89 179 segment 90 179 made 91 179 in 92 179 the 93 179 new-mown 94 179 grass 95 179 by 96 179 a 97 179 long-armed 98 179 mower. 99 179 You 100 179 shuddered 101 179 as 102 179 you 103 179 gazed, 104 179 and 105 179 wondered 106 179 what 107 179 monstrous 108 179 cannibal 109 179 and 110 179 savage 111 179 could 112 179 ever 113 179 have 114 179 gone 115 179 a 116 179 death-harvesting 117 179 with 118 179 such 119 179 a 120 179 hacking, 121 179 horrifying 122 179 implement. 123 179 Mixed 124 179 with 125 179 these 126 179 were 127 179 rusty 128 179 old 129 179 whaling 130 179 lances 131 179 and 132 179 harpoons 133 179 all 134 179 broken 135 179 and 136 179 deformed. 137 179 Some 138 179 were 139 179 storied 140 179 weapons. 141 179 With 142 179 this 143 179 once 144 179 long 145 179 lance, 146 179 now 147 179 wildly 148 179 elbowed, 149 179 fifty 150 179 years 151 179 ago 152 179 did 153 179 Nathan 154 179 Swain 155 179 kill 156 179 fifteen 157 179 whales 158 179 between 159 179 a 160 179 sunrise 161 179 and 162 179 a 163 179 sunset. 164 179 And 165 179 that 166 179 harpoon--so 167 179 like 168 179 a 169 179 corkscrew 170 179 now--was 171 179 flung 172 179 in 173 179 Javan 174 179 seas, 175 179 and 176 179 run 177 179 away 178 179 with 1 180 by 7 180 a 11 180 whale, 13 180 years 17 180 afterwards 19 180 slain 23 180 off 29 180 the 31 180 Cape 37 180 of 41 180 Blanco. 43 180 The 47 180 original 49 180 iron 53 180 entered 59 180 nigh 61 180 the 67 180 tail, 71 180 and, 73 180 like 77 180 a 79 180 restless 83 180 needle 89 180 sojourning 91 180 in 97 180 the 101 180 body 103 180 of 107 180 a 109 180 man, 113 180 travelled 119 180 full 121 180 forty 127 180 feet, 131 180 and 133 180 at 137 180 last 139 180 was 143 180 found 149 180 imbedded 151 180 in 157 180 the 161 180 hump. 163 180 Crossing 167 180 this 169 180 dusky 173 180 entry, 179 180 and 1 181 on 2 181 through 3 181 yon 4 181 low-arched 5 181 way--cut 6 181 through 7 181 what 8 181 in 9 181 old 10 181 times 11 181 must 12 181 have 13 181 been 14 181 a 15 181 great 16 181 central 17 181 chimney 18 181 with 19 181 fireplaces 20 181 all 21 181 round--you 22 181 enter 23 181 the 24 181 public 25 181 room. 26 181 A 27 181 still 28 181 duskier 29 181 place 30 181 is 31 181 this, 32 181 with 33 181 such 34 181 low 35 181 ponderous 36 181 beams 37 181 above, 38 181 and 39 181 such 40 181 old 41 181 wrinkled 42 181 planks 43 181 beneath, 44 181 that 45 181 you 46 181 would 47 181 almost 48 181 fancy 49 181 you 50 181 trod 51 181 some 52 181 old 53 181 craft's 54 181 cockpits, 55 181 especially 56 181 of 57 181 such 58 181 a 59 181 howling 60 181 night, 61 181 when 62 181 this 63 181 corner-anchored 64 181 old 65 181 ark 66 181 rocked 67 181 so 68 181 furiously. 69 181 On 70 181 one 71 181 side 72 181 stood 73 181 a 74 181 long, 75 181 low, 76 181 shelf-like 77 181 table 78 181 covered 79 181 with 80 181 cracked 81 181 glass 82 181 cases, 83 181 filled 84 181 with 85 181 dusty 86 181 rarities 87 181 gathered 88 181 from 89 181 this 90 181 wide 91 181 world's 92 181 remotest 93 181 nooks. 94 181 Projecting 95 181 from 96 181 the 97 181 further 98 181 angle 99 181 of 100 181 the 101 181 room 102 181 stands 103 181 a 104 181 dark-looking 105 181 den--the 106 181 bar--a 107 181 rude 108 181 attempt 109 181 at 110 181 a 111 181 right 112 181 whale's 113 181 head. 114 181 Be 115 181 that 116 181 how 117 181 it 118 181 may, 119 181 there 120 181 stands 121 181 the 122 181 vast 123 181 arched 124 181 bone 125 181 of 126 181 the 127 181 whale's 128 181 jaw, 129 181 so 130 181 wide, 131 181 a 132 181 coach 133 181 might 134 181 almost 135 181 drive 136 181 beneath 137 181 it. 138 181 Within 139 181 are 140 181 shabby 141 181 shelves, 142 181 ranged 143 181 round 144 181 with 145 181 old 146 181 decanters, 147 181 bottles, 148 181 flasks; 149 181 and 150 181 in 151 181 those 152 181 jaws 153 181 of 154 181 swift 155 181 destruction, 156 181 like 157 181 another 158 181 cursed 159 181 Jonah 160 181 (by 161 181 which 162 181 name 163 181 indeed 164 181 they 165 181 called 166 181 him), 167 181 bustles 168 181 a 169 181 little 170 181 withered 171 181 old 172 181 man, 173 181 who, 174 181 for 175 181 their 176 181 money, 177 181 dearly 178 181 sells 179 181 the 180 181 sailors 1 182 deliriums 3 182 and 5 182 death. 9 182 Abominable 11 182 are 15 182 the 17 182 tumblers 19 182 into 23 182 which 25 182 he 27 182 pours 29 182 his 31 182 poison. 33 182 Though 37 182 true 41 182 cylinders 43 182 without--within, 45 182 the 47 182 villanous 51 182 green 53 182 goggling 55 182 glasses 57 182 deceitfully 59 182 tapered 61 182 downwards 67 182 to 69 182 a 71 182 cheating 73 182 bottom. 75 182 Parallel 79 182 meridians 81 182 rudely 83 182 pecked 85 182 into 87 182 the 89 182 glass, 93 182 surround 95 182 these 97 182 footpads' 99 182 goblets. 101 182 Fill 103 182 to 107 182 THIS 109 182 mark, 111 182 and 113 182 your 115 182 charge 121 182 is 123 182 but 125 182 a 127 182 penny; 129 182 to 131 182 THIS 135 182 a 137 182 penny 139 182 more; 141 182 and 145 182 so 149 182 on 151 182 to 153 182 the 155 182 full 157 182 glass--the 159 182 Cape 163 182 Horn 165 182 measure, 167 182 which 171 182 you 173 182 may 177 182 gulp 179 182 down 181 182 for 1 183 a 2 183 shilling. 4 183 Upon 5 183 entering 7 183 the 8 183 place 10 183 I 11 183 found 13 183 a 14 183 number 16 183 of 17 183 young 19 183 seamen 20 183 gathered 22 183 about 23 183 a 25 183 table, 26 183 examining 28 183 by 29 183 a 31 183 dim 32 183 light 34 183 divers 35 183 specimens 37 183 of 38 183 SKRIMSHANDER. 40 183 I 41 183 sought 43 183 the 44 183 landlord, 46 183 and 47 183 telling 49 183 him 50 183 I 52 183 desired 53 183 to 55 183 be 56 183 accommodated 58 183 with 59 183 a 62 183 room, 64 183 received 65 183 for 67 183 answer 68 183 that 70 183 his 71 183 house 73 183 was 74 183 full--not 76 183 a 77 183 bed 79 183 unoccupied. 80 183 "But 82 183 avast," 83 183 he 85 183 added, 86 183 tapping 88 183 his 89 183 forehead, 91 183 "you 92 183 haint 94 183 no 95 183 objections 97 183 to 98 183 sharing 100 183 a 101 183 harpooneer's 103 183 blanket, 104 183 have 106 183 ye? 107 183 I 109 183 s'pose 110 183 you 112 183 are 113 183 goin' 115 183 a-whalin', 116 183 so 118 183 you'd 119 183 better 121 183 get 124 183 used 125 183 to 127 183 that 128 183 sort 130 183 of 131 183 thing." 133 183 I 134 183 told 136 183 him 137 183 that 139 183 I 140 183 never 142 183 liked 143 183 to 145 183 sleep 146 183 two 148 183 in 149 183 a 151 183 bed; 152 183 that 154 183 if 155 183 I 157 183 should 158 183 ever 160 183 do 161 183 so, 163 183 it 164 183 would 166 183 depend 167 183 upon 169 183 who 170 183 the 172 183 harpooneer 173 183 might 175 183 be, 176 183 and 178 183 that 179 183 if 181 183 he 182 183 (the 1 184 landlord) 3 184 really 5 184 had 7 184 no 9 184 other 11 184 place 13 184 for 15 184 me, 17 184 and 19 184 the 21 184 harpooneer 25 184 was 27 184 not 29 184 decidedly 31 184 objectionable, 33 184 why 35 184 rather 37 184 than 39 184 wander 41 184 further 43 184 about 45 184 a 47 184 strange 49 184 town 51 184 on 53 184 so 55 184 bitter 57 184 a 59 184 night, 61 184 I 63 184 would 65 184 put 67 184 up 71 184 with 73 184 the 75 184 half 77 184 of 79 184 any 81 184 decent 83 184 man's 85 184 blanket. 87 184 "I 89 184 thought 91 184 so. 93 184 All 95 184 right; 97 184 take 99 184 a 101 184 seat. 103 184 Supper?--you 105 184 want 107 184 supper? 109 184 Supper'll 111 184 be 113 184 ready 117 184 directly." 119 184 I 121 184 sat 123 184 down 125 184 on 127 184 an 129 184 old 131 184 wooden 133 184 settle, 135 184 carved 137 184 all 139 184 over 141 184 like 143 184 a 145 184 bench 147 184 on 149 184 the 151 184 Battery. 153 184 At 155 184 one 157 184 end 159 184 a 163 184 ruminating 165 184 tar 167 184 was 169 184 still 171 184 further 173 184 adorning 175 184 it 177 184 with 179 184 his 181 184 jack-knife, 183 184 stooping 1 185 over 2 185 and 3 185 diligently 4 185 working 6 185 away 7 185 at 8 185 the 9 185 space 11 185 between 12 185 his 13 185 legs. 14 185 He 16 185 was 17 185 trying 18 185 his 19 185 hand 21 185 at 22 185 a 23 185 ship 24 185 under 26 185 full 27 185 sail, 28 185 but 29 185 he 31 185 didn't 32 185 make 33 185 much 34 185 headway, 36 185 I 38 185 thought. 39 185 At 41 185 last 42 185 some 43 185 four 44 185 or 46 185 five 47 185 of 48 185 us 49 185 were 51 185 summoned 52 185 to 53 185 our 54 185 meal 56 185 in 57 185 an 58 185 adjoining 59 185 room. 61 185 It 62 185 was 63 185 cold 64 185 as 66 185 Iceland--no 67 185 fire 68 185 at 69 185 all--the 71 185 landlord 72 185 said 73 185 he 76 185 couldn't 77 185 afford 78 185 it. 79 185 Nothing 81 185 but 82 185 two 83 185 dismal 84 185 tallow 86 185 candles, 87 185 each 88 185 in 89 185 a 91 185 winding 92 185 sheet. 93 185 We 94 185 were 96 185 fain 97 185 to 98 185 button 99 185 up 101 185 our 102 185 monkey 103 185 jackets, 104 185 and 106 185 hold 107 185 to 108 185 our 109 185 lips 112 185 cups 113 185 of 114 185 scalding 116 185 tea 117 185 with 118 185 our 119 185 half 121 185 frozen 122 185 fingers. 123 185 But 124 185 the 126 185 fare 127 185 was 128 185 of 129 185 the 131 185 most 132 185 substantial 133 185 kind--not 134 185 only 136 185 meat 137 185 and 138 185 potatoes, 139 185 but 141 185 dumplings; 142 185 good 143 185 heavens! 144 185 dumplings 146 185 for 147 185 supper! 149 185 One 151 185 young 152 185 fellow 153 185 in 154 185 a 156 185 green 157 185 box 158 185 coat, 159 185 addressed 161 185 himself 162 185 to 163 185 these 164 185 dumplings 166 185 in 167 185 a 168 185 most 169 185 direful 171 185 manner. 172 185 "My 173 185 boy," 174 185 said 176 185 the 177 185 landlord, 178 185 "you'll 179 185 have 181 185 the 182 185 nightmare 183 185 to 184 185 a 1 186 dead 5 186 sartainty." 7 186 "Landlord," 11 186 I 13 186 whispered, 17 186 "that 19 186 aint 23 186 the 25 186 harpooneer 29 186 is 35 186 it?" 37 186 "Oh, 41 186 no," 43 186 said 47 186 he, 49 186 looking 53 186 a 55 186 sort 59 186 of 61 186 diabolically 65 186 funny, 67 186 "the 71 186 harpooneer 73 186 is 77 186 a 79 186 dark 83 186 complexioned 85 186 chap. 89 186 He 91 186 never 95 186 eats 97 186 dumplings, 101 186 he 103 186 don't--he 107 186 eats 109 186 nothing 113 186 but 115 186 steaks, 119 186 and 121 186 he 125 186 likes 127 186 'em 131 186 rare." 133 186 "The 137 186 devil 139 186 he 143 186 does," 145 186 says 149 186 I. 151 186 "Where 157 186 is 161 186 that 163 186 harpooneer? 167 186 Is 169 186 he 173 186 here?" 175 186 "He'll 179 186 be 181 186 here 185 186 afore 1 187 long," 2 187 was 3 187 the 4 187 answer. 5 187 I 6 187 could 7 187 not 8 187 help 9 187 it, 10 187 but 12 187 I 13 187 began 14 187 to 15 187 feel 16 187 suspicious 18 187 of 19 187 this 20 187 "dark 21 187 complexioned" 23 187 harpooneer. 24 187 At 25 187 any 26 187 rate, 27 187 I 28 187 made 29 187 up 30 187 my 31 187 mind 32 187 that 35 187 if 36 187 it 37 187 so 38 187 turned 39 187 out 40 187 that 41 187 we 42 187 should 43 187 sleep 45 187 together, 46 187 he 47 187 must 48 187 undress 49 187 and 50 187 get 52 187 into 53 187 bed 54 187 before 56 187 I 57 187 did. 58 187 Supper 59 187 over, 60 187 the 61 187 company 62 187 went 63 187 back 64 187 to 65 187 the 67 187 bar-room, 69 187 when, 70 187 knowing 71 187 not 72 187 what 73 187 else 74 187 to 75 187 do 76 187 with 78 187 myself, 79 187 I 80 187 resolved 81 187 to 82 187 spend 83 187 the 84 187 rest 86 187 of 87 187 the 89 187 evening 90 187 as 91 187 a 92 187 looker 93 187 on. 94 187 Presently 95 187 a 96 187 rioting 97 187 noise 98 187 was 100 187 heard 101 187 without. 103 187 Starting 104 187 up, 105 187 the 106 187 landlord 107 187 cried, 108 187 "That's 109 187 the 111 187 Grampus's 112 187 crew. 113 187 I 114 187 seed 115 187 her 116 187 reported 117 187 in 118 187 the 120 187 offing 122 187 this 123 187 morning; 124 187 a 125 187 three 126 187 years' 127 187 voyage, 128 187 and 129 187 a 130 187 full 131 187 ship. 133 187 Hurrah, 134 187 boys; 135 187 now 137 187 we'll 138 187 have 139 187 the 140 187 latest 141 187 news 142 187 from 144 187 the 145 187 Feegees." 146 187 A 147 187 tramping 148 187 of 149 187 sea 150 187 boots 151 187 was 152 187 heard 155 187 in 156 187 the 157 187 entry; 158 187 the 159 187 door 160 187 was 161 187 flung 162 187 open, 163 187 and 164 187 in 166 187 rolled 167 187 a 168 187 wild 169 187 set 171 187 of 172 187 mariners 173 187 enough. 174 187 Enveloped 175 187 in 177 187 their 178 187 shaggy 179 187 watch 180 187 coats, 181 187 and 182 187 with 183 187 their 184 187 heads 185 187 muffled 186 187 in 1 188 woollen 3 188 comforters, 5 188 all 7 188 bedarned 9 188 and 11 188 ragged, 13 188 and 15 188 their 17 188 beards 19 188 stiff 21 188 with 23 188 icicles, 25 188 they 27 188 seemed 29 188 an 31 188 eruption 33 188 of 35 188 bears 37 188 from 39 188 Labrador. 41 188 They 43 188 had 45 188 just 49 188 landed 51 188 from 53 188 their 55 188 boat, 57 188 and 59 188 this 61 188 was 63 188 the 65 188 first 67 188 house 69 188 they 71 188 entered. 73 188 No 75 188 wonder, 77 188 then, 79 188 that 81 188 they 83 188 made 85 188 a 87 188 straight 89 188 wake 91 188 for 93 188 the 95 188 whale's 97 188 mouth--the 99 188 bar--when 101 188 the 103 188 wrinkled 105 188 little 107 188 old 109 188 Jonah, 111 188 there 113 188 officiating, 115 188 soon 117 188 poured 119 188 them 121 188 out 123 188 brimmers 125 188 all 127 188 round. 129 188 One 131 188 complained 133 188 of 135 188 a 137 188 bad 139 188 cold 143 188 in 145 188 his 147 188 head, 149 188 upon 151 188 which 153 188 Jonah 155 188 mixed 157 188 him 159 188 a 161 188 pitch-like 163 188 potion 165 188 of 167 188 gin 169 188 and 171 188 molasses, 173 188 which 175 188 he 177 188 swore 179 188 was 181 188 a 183 188 sovereign 185 188 cure 187 188 for 1 189 all 2 189 colds 4 189 and 5 189 catarrhs 8 189 whatsoever, 10 189 never 11 189 mind 13 189 of 16 189 how 17 189 long 19 189 standing, 20 189 or 22 189 whether 23 189 caught 25 189 off 26 189 the 29 189 coast 31 189 of 32 189 Labrador, 34 189 or 37 189 on 38 189 the 40 189 weather 41 189 side 43 189 of 44 189 an 46 189 ice-island. 47 189 The 50 189 liquor 52 189 soon 53 189 mounted 55 189 into 58 189 their 59 189 heads, 61 189 as 62 189 it 64 189 generally 65 189 does 67 189 even 68 189 with 71 189 the 73 189 arrantest 74 189 topers 76 189 newly 79 189 landed 80 189 from 82 189 sea, 83 189 and 85 189 they 86 189 began 88 189 capering 89 189 about 92 189 most 94 189 obstreperously. 95 189 I 97 189 observed, 100 189 however, 101 189 that 103 189 one 104 189 of 106 189 them 107 189 held 109 189 somewhat 110 189 aloof, 113 189 and 115 189 though 116 189 he 118 189 seemed 121 189 desirous 122 189 not 124 189 to 125 189 spoil 127 189 the 128 189 hilarity 130 189 of 131 189 his 134 189 shipmates 136 189 by 137 189 his 139 189 own 142 189 sober 143 189 face, 145 189 yet 146 189 upon 148 189 the 149 189 whole 151 189 he 152 189 refrained 155 189 from 157 189 making 158 189 as 160 189 much 163 189 noise 164 189 as 166 189 the 167 189 rest. 169 189 This 170 189 man 172 189 interested 173 189 me 176 189 at 178 189 once; 179 189 and 181 189 since 184 189 the 185 189 sea-gods 187 189 had 188 189 ordained 1 190 that 3 190 he 7 190 should 9 190 soon 11 190 become 13 190 my 17 190 shipmate 21 190 (though 23 190 but 27 190 a 29 190 sleeping-partner 31 190 one, 33 190 so 37 190 far 39 190 as 41 190 this 43 190 narrative 47 190 is 49 190 concerned), 51 190 I 53 190 will 59 190 here 61 190 venture 63 190 upon 67 190 a 69 190 little 71 190 description 73 190 of 77 190 him. 79 190 He 81 190 stood 83 190 full 87 190 six 89 190 feet 91 190 in 93 190 height, 97 190 with 99 190 noble 101 190 shoulders, 103 190 and 107 190 a 109 190 chest 111 190 like 113 190 a 117 190 coffer-dam. 119 190 I 121 190 have 123 190 seldom 127 190 seen 129 190 such 131 190 brawn 137 190 in 139 190 a 141 190 man. 143 190 His 147 190 face 149 190 was 151 190 deeply 153 190 brown 157 190 and 159 190 burnt, 161 190 making 163 190 his 167 190 white 169 190 teeth 173 190 dazzling 177 190 by 179 190 the 181 190 contrast; 183 190 while 187 190 in 189 190 the 1 191 deep 2 191 shadows 3 191 of 4 191 his 5 191 eyes 6 191 floated 7 191 some 8 191 reminiscences 9 191 that 10 191 did 11 191 not 12 191 seem 13 191 to 14 191 give 15 191 him 16 191 much 17 191 joy. 18 191 His 19 191 voice 20 191 at 21 191 once 22 191 announced 23 191 that 24 191 he 25 191 was 26 191 a 27 191 Southerner, 28 191 and 29 191 from 30 191 his 31 191 fine 32 191 stature, 33 191 I 34 191 thought 35 191 he 36 191 must 37 191 be 38 191 one 39 191 of 40 191 those 41 191 tall 42 191 mountaineers 43 191 from 44 191 the 45 191 Alleghanian 46 191 Ridge 47 191 in 48 191 Virginia. 49 191 When 50 191 the 51 191 revelry 52 191 of 53 191 his 54 191 companions 55 191 had 56 191 mounted 57 191 to 58 191 its 59 191 height, 60 191 this 61 191 man 62 191 slipped 63 191 away 64 191 unobserved, 65 191 and 66 191 I 67 191 saw 68 191 no 69 191 more 70 191 of 71 191 him 72 191 till 73 191 he 74 191 became 75 191 my 76 191 comrade 77 191 on 78 191 the 79 191 sea. 80 191 In 81 191 a 82 191 few 83 191 minutes, 84 191 however, 85 191 he 86 191 was 87 191 missed 88 191 by 89 191 his 90 191 shipmates, 91 191 and 92 191 being, 93 191 it 94 191 seems, 95 191 for 96 191 some 97 191 reason 98 191 a 99 191 huge 100 191 favourite 101 191 with 102 191 them, 103 191 they 104 191 raised 105 191 a 106 191 cry 107 191 of 108 191 "Bulkington! 109 191 Bulkington! 110 191 where's 111 191 Bulkington?" 112 191 and 113 191 darted 114 191 out 115 191 of 116 191 the 117 191 house 118 191 in 119 191 pursuit 120 191 of 121 191 him. 122 191 It 123 191 was 124 191 now 125 191 about 126 191 nine 127 191 o'clock, 128 191 and 129 191 the 130 191 room 131 191 seeming 132 191 almost 133 191 supernaturally 134 191 quiet 135 191 after 136 191 these 137 191 orgies, 138 191 I 139 191 began 140 191 to 141 191 congratulate 142 191 myself 143 191 upon 144 191 a 145 191 little 146 191 plan 147 191 that 148 191 had 149 191 occurred 150 191 to 151 191 me 152 191 just 153 191 previous 154 191 to 155 191 the 156 191 entrance 157 191 of 158 191 the 159 191 seamen. 160 191 No 161 191 man 162 191 prefers 163 191 to 164 191 sleep 165 191 two 166 191 in 167 191 a 168 191 bed. 169 191 In 170 191 fact, 171 191 you 172 191 would 173 191 a 174 191 good 175 191 deal 176 191 rather 177 191 not 178 191 sleep 179 191 with 180 191 your 181 191 own 182 191 brother. 183 191 I 184 191 don't 185 191 know 186 191 how 187 191 it 188 191 is, 189 191 but 190 191 people 1 192 like 5 192 to 7 192 be 11 192 private 13 192 when 17 192 they 19 192 are 23 192 sleeping. 25 192 And 29 192 when 31 192 it 35 192 comes 37 192 to 41 192 sleeping 43 192 with 47 192 an 49 192 unknown 53 192 stranger, 55 192 in 59 192 a 61 192 strange 65 192 inn, 67 192 in 71 192 a 73 192 strange 77 192 town, 79 192 and 83 192 that 85 192 stranger 89 192 a 91 192 harpooneer, 95 192 then 97 192 your 101 192 objections 103 192 indefinitely 107 192 multiply. 109 192 Nor 113 192 was 115 192 there 119 192 any 121 192 earthly 125 192 reason 127 192 why 131 192 I 133 192 as 137 192 a 139 192 sailor 143 192 should 145 192 sleep 149 192 two 151 192 in 155 192 a 157 192 bed, 161 192 more 163 192 than 167 192 anybody 169 192 else; 173 192 for 175 192 sailors 179 192 no 181 192 more 185 192 sleep 187 192 two 191 192 in 1 193 a 2 193 bed 3 193 at 4 193 sea, 5 193 than 6 193 bachelor 7 193 Kings 8 193 do 9 193 ashore. 10 193 To 11 193 be 12 193 sure 13 193 they 14 193 all 15 193 sleep 16 193 together 17 193 in 18 193 one 19 193 apartment, 20 193 but 21 193 you 22 193 have 23 193 your 24 193 own 25 193 hammock, 26 193 and 27 193 cover 28 193 yourself 29 193 with 30 193 your 31 193 own 32 193 blanket, 33 193 and 34 193 sleep 35 193 in 36 193 your 37 193 own 38 193 skin. 39 193 The 40 193 more 41 193 I 42 193 pondered 43 193 over 44 193 this 45 193 harpooneer, 46 193 the 47 193 more 48 193 I 49 193 abominated 50 193 the 51 193 thought 52 193 of 53 193 sleeping 54 193 with 55 193 him. 56 193 It 57 193 was 58 193 fair 59 193 to 60 193 presume 61 193 that 62 193 being 63 193 a 64 193 harpooneer, 65 193 his 66 193 linen 67 193 or 68 193 woollen, 69 193 as 70 193 the 71 193 case 72 193 might 73 193 be, 74 193 would 75 193 not 76 193 be 77 193 of 78 193 the 79 193 tidiest, 80 193 certainly 81 193 none 82 193 of 83 193 the 84 193 finest. 85 193 I 86 193 began 87 193 to 88 193 twitch 89 193 all 90 193 over. 91 193 Besides, 92 193 it 93 193 was 94 193 getting 95 193 late, 96 193 and 97 193 my 98 193 decent 99 193 harpooneer 100 193 ought 101 193 to 102 193 be 103 193 home 104 193 and 105 193 going 106 193 bedwards. 107 193 Suppose 108 193 now, 109 193 he 110 193 should 111 193 tumble 112 193 in 113 193 upon 114 193 me 115 193 at 116 193 midnight--how 117 193 could 118 193 I 119 193 tell 120 193 from 121 193 what 122 193 vile 123 193 hole 124 193 he 125 193 had 126 193 been 127 193 coming? 128 193 "Landlord! 129 193 I've 130 193 changed 131 193 my 132 193 mind 133 193 about 134 193 that 135 193 harpooneer.--I 136 193 shan't 137 193 sleep 138 193 with 139 193 him. 140 193 I'll 141 193 try 142 193 the 143 193 bench 144 193 here." 145 193 "Just 146 193 as 147 193 you 148 193 please; 149 193 I'm 150 193 sorry 151 193 I 152 193 cant 153 193 spare 154 193 ye 155 193 a 156 193 tablecloth 157 193 for 158 193 a 159 193 mattress, 160 193 and 161 193 it's 162 193 a 163 193 plaguy 164 193 rough 165 193 board 166 193 here"--feeling 167 193 of 168 193 the 169 193 knots 170 193 and 171 193 notches. 172 193 "But 173 193 wait 174 193 a 175 193 bit, 176 193 Skrimshander; 177 193 I've 178 193 got 179 193 a 180 193 carpenter's 181 193 plane 182 193 there 183 193 in 184 193 the 185 193 bar--wait, 186 193 I 187 193 say, 188 193 and 189 193 I'll 190 193 make 191 193 ye 192 193 snug 1 194 enough." 3 194 So 5 194 saying 7 194 he 9 194 procured 11 194 the 13 194 plane; 15 194 and 17 194 with 19 194 his 21 194 old 23 194 silk 25 194 handkerchief 27 194 first 29 194 dusting 31 194 the 33 194 bench, 35 194 vigorously 37 194 set 39 194 to 41 194 planing 43 194 away 45 194 at 47 194 my 49 194 bed, 51 194 the 53 194 while 55 194 grinning 57 194 like 59 194 an 61 194 ape. 63 194 The 65 194 shavings 67 194 flew 69 194 right 71 194 and 73 194 left; 75 194 till 77 194 at 79 194 last 81 194 the 83 194 plane-iron 85 194 came 87 194 bump 89 194 against 91 194 an 93 194 indestructible 95 194 knot. 99 194 The 101 194 landlord 103 194 was 105 194 near 107 194 spraining 109 194 his 111 194 wrist, 113 194 and 115 194 I 117 194 told 119 194 him 121 194 for 123 194 heaven's 125 194 sake 127 194 to 129 194 quit--the 131 194 bed 133 194 was 135 194 soft 137 194 enough 139 194 to 141 194 suit 143 194 me, 145 194 and 147 194 I 149 194 did 151 194 not 153 194 know 155 194 how 157 194 all 159 194 the 161 194 planing 163 194 in 165 194 the 167 194 world 169 194 could 171 194 make 173 194 eider 175 194 down 177 194 of 179 194 a 181 194 pine 183 194 plank. 185 194 So 187 194 gathering 189 194 up 191 194 the 193 194 shavings 1 195 with 2 195 another 4 195 grin, 7 195 and 8 195 throwing 11 195 them 14 195 into 16 195 the 17 195 great 19 195 stove 22 195 in 23 195 the 28 195 middle 29 195 of 31 195 the 32 195 room, 34 195 he 37 195 went 38 195 about 41 195 his 43 195 business, 44 195 and 46 195 left 47 195 me 49 195 in 53 195 a 56 195 brown 58 195 study. 59 195 I 61 195 now 62 195 took 64 195 the 67 195 measure 68 195 of 71 195 the 73 195 bench, 74 195 and 76 195 found 77 195 that 79 195 it 82 195 was 83 195 a 86 195 foot 88 195 too 89 195 short; 92 195 but 94 195 that 97 195 could 98 195 be 101 195 mended 103 195 with 106 195 a 107 195 chair. 109 195 But 112 195 it 113 195 was 116 195 a 118 195 foot 119 195 too 121 195 narrow, 122 195 and 124 195 the 127 195 other 128 195 bench 131 195 in 133 195 the 134 195 room 136 195 was 137 195 about 139 195 four 142 195 inches 146 195 higher 148 195 than 149 195 the 151 195 planed 152 195 one--so 154 195 there 157 195 was 158 195 no 161 195 yoking 163 195 them. 164 195 I 166 195 then 167 195 placed 172 195 the 173 195 first 176 195 bench 178 195 lengthwise 179 195 along 181 195 the 184 195 only 187 195 clear 188 195 space 191 195 against 193 195 the 194 195 wall, 1 196 leaving 3 196 a 5 196 little 9 196 interval 11 196 between, 13 196 for 15 196 my 17 196 back 19 196 to 23 196 settle 25 196 down 27 196 in. 29 196 But 31 196 I 33 196 soon 37 196 found 39 196 that 41 196 there 43 196 came 45 196 such 47 196 a 51 196 draught 53 196 of 55 196 cold 57 196 air 59 196 over 61 196 me 65 196 from 67 196 under 69 196 the 71 196 sill 73 196 of 75 196 the 79 196 window, 81 196 that 83 196 this 85 196 plan 87 196 would 89 196 never 93 196 do 95 196 at 97 196 all, 99 196 especially 101 196 as 103 196 another 107 196 current 109 196 from 111 196 the 113 196 rickety 115 196 door 117 196 met 121 196 the 123 196 one 125 196 from 127 196 the 129 196 window, 131 196 and 135 196 both 137 196 together 139 196 formed 141 196 a 143 196 series 145 196 of 149 196 small 151 196 whirlwinds 153 196 in 155 196 the 157 196 immediate 159 196 vicinity 163 196 of 165 196 the 167 196 spot 169 196 where 171 196 I 173 196 had 177 196 thought 179 196 to 181 196 spend 183 196 the 185 196 night. 187 196 The 191 196 devil 193 196 fetch 195 196 that 1 197 harpooneer, 2 197 thought 3 197 I, 4 197 but 5 197 stop, 6 197 couldn't 7 197 I 8 197 steal 9 197 a 10 197 march 11 197 on 12 197 him--bolt 13 197 his 14 197 door 15 197 inside, 16 197 and 17 197 jump 18 197 into 19 197 his 20 197 bed, 21 197 not 22 197 to 23 197 be 24 197 wakened 25 197 by 26 197 the 27 197 most 28 197 violent 29 197 knockings? 30 197 It 31 197 seemed 32 197 no 33 197 bad 34 197 idea; 35 197 but 36 197 upon 37 197 second 38 197 thoughts 39 197 I 40 197 dismissed 41 197 it. 42 197 For 43 197 who 44 197 could 45 197 tell 46 197 but 47 197 what 48 197 the 49 197 next 50 197 morning, 51 197 so 52 197 soon 53 197 as 54 197 I 55 197 popped 56 197 out 57 197 of 58 197 the 59 197 room, 60 197 the 61 197 harpooneer 62 197 might 63 197 be 64 197 standing 65 197 in 66 197 the 67 197 entry, 68 197 all 69 197 ready 70 197 to 71 197 knock 72 197 me 73 197 down! 74 197 Still, 75 197 looking 76 197 round 77 197 me 78 197 again, 79 197 and 80 197 seeing 81 197 no 82 197 possible 83 197 chance 84 197 of 85 197 spending 86 197 a 87 197 sufferable 88 197 night 89 197 unless 90 197 in 91 197 some 92 197 other 93 197 person's 94 197 bed, 95 197 I 96 197 began 97 197 to 98 197 think 99 197 that 100 197 after 101 197 all 102 197 I 103 197 might 104 197 be 105 197 cherishing 106 197 unwarrantable 107 197 prejudices 108 197 against 109 197 this 110 197 unknown 111 197 harpooneer. 112 197 Thinks 113 197 I, 114 197 I'll 115 197 wait 116 197 awhile; 117 197 he 118 197 must 119 197 be 120 197 dropping 121 197 in 122 197 before 123 197 long. 124 197 I'll 125 197 have 126 197 a 127 197 good 128 197 look 129 197 at 130 197 him 131 197 then, 132 197 and 133 197 perhaps 134 197 we 135 197 may 136 197 become 137 197 jolly 138 197 good 139 197 bedfellows 140 197 after 141 197 all--there's 142 197 no 143 197 telling. 144 197 But 145 197 though 146 197 the 147 197 other 148 197 boarders 149 197 kept 150 197 coming 151 197 in 152 197 by 153 197 ones, 154 197 twos, 155 197 and 156 197 threes, 157 197 and 158 197 going 159 197 to 160 197 bed, 161 197 yet 162 197 no 163 197 sign 164 197 of 165 197 my 166 197 harpooneer. 167 197 "Landlord! 168 197 said 169 197 I, 170 197 "what 171 197 sort 172 197 of 173 197 a 174 197 chap 175 197 is 176 197 he--does 177 197 he 178 197 always 179 197 keep 180 197 such 181 197 late 182 197 hours?" 183 197 It 184 197 was 185 197 now 186 197 hard 187 197 upon 188 197 twelve 189 197 o'clock. 190 197 The 191 197 landlord 192 197 chuckled 193 197 again 194 197 with 195 197 his 196 197 lean 1 198 chuckle, 5 198 and 7 198 seemed 13 198 to 17 198 be 19 198 mightily 23 198 tickled 25 198 at 29 198 something 31 198 beyond 35 198 my 37 198 comprehension. 41 198 "No," 43 198 he 47 198 answered, 49 198 "generally 53 198 he's 59 198 an 61 198 early 65 198 bird--airley 67 198 to 71 198 bed 73 198 and 79 198 airley 83 198 to 85 198 rise--yes, 89 198 he's 91 198 the 95 198 bird 97 198 what 101 198 catches 103 198 the 107 198 worm. 109 198 But 113 198 to-night 115 198 he 119 198 went 125 198 out 127 198 a 131 198 peddling, 133 198 you 137 198 see, 139 198 and 145 198 I 149 198 don't 151 198 see 155 198 what 157 198 on 161 198 airth 163 198 keeps 167 198 him 169 198 so 173 198 late, 175 198 unless, 179 198 may 181 198 be, 185 198 he 191 198 can't 193 198 sell 197 198 his 1 199 head." 2 199 "Can't 3 199 sell 4 199 his 5 199 head?--What 6 199 sort 7 199 of 8 199 a 9 199 bamboozingly 10 199 story 11 199 is 12 199 this 13 199 you 14 199 are 15 199 telling 16 199 me?" 17 199 getting 18 199 into 19 199 a 20 199 towering 21 199 rage. 22 199 "Do 23 199 you 24 199 pretend 25 199 to 26 199 say, 27 199 landlord, 28 199 that 29 199 this 30 199 harpooneer 31 199 is 32 199 actually 33 199 engaged 34 199 this 35 199 blessed 36 199 Saturday 37 199 night, 38 199 or 39 199 rather 40 199 Sunday 41 199 morning, 42 199 in 43 199 peddling 44 199 his 45 199 head 46 199 around 47 199 this 48 199 town?" 49 199 "That's 50 199 precisely 51 199 it," 52 199 said 53 199 the 54 199 landlord, 55 199 "and 56 199 I 57 199 told 58 199 him 59 199 he 60 199 couldn't 61 199 sell 62 199 it 63 199 here, 64 199 the 65 199 market's 66 199 overstocked." 67 199 "With 68 199 what?" 69 199 shouted 70 199 I. 71 199 "With 72 199 heads 73 199 to 74 199 be 75 199 sure; 76 199 ain't 77 199 there 78 199 too 79 199 many 80 199 heads 81 199 in 82 199 the 83 199 world?" 84 199 "I 85 199 tell 86 199 you 87 199 what 88 199 it 89 199 is, 90 199 landlord," 91 199 said 92 199 I 93 199 quite 94 199 calmly, 95 199 "you'd 96 199 better 97 199 stop 98 199 spinning 99 199 that 100 199 yarn 101 199 to 102 199 me--I'm 103 199 not 104 199 green." 105 199 "May 106 199 be 107 199 not," 108 199 taking 109 199 out 110 199 a 111 199 stick 112 199 and 113 199 whittling 114 199 a 115 199 toothpick, 116 199 "but 117 199 I 118 199 rayther 119 199 guess 120 199 you'll 121 199 be 122 199 done 123 199 BROWN 124 199 if 125 199 that 126 199 ere 127 199 harpooneer 128 199 hears 129 199 you 130 199 a 131 199 slanderin' 132 199 his 133 199 head." 134 199 "I'll 135 199 break 136 199 it 137 199 for 138 199 him," 139 199 said 140 199 I, 141 199 now 142 199 flying 143 199 into 144 199 a 145 199 passion 146 199 again 147 199 at 148 199 this 149 199 unaccountable 150 199 farrago 151 199 of 152 199 the 153 199 landlord's. 154 199 "It's 155 199 broke 156 199 a'ready," 157 199 said 158 199 he. 159 199 "Broke," 160 199 said 161 199 I--"BROKE, 162 199 do 163 199 you 164 199 mean?" 165 199 "Sartain, 166 199 and 167 199 that's 168 199 the 169 199 very 170 199 reason 171 199 he 172 199 can't 173 199 sell 174 199 it, 175 199 I 176 199 guess." 177 199 "Landlord," 178 199 said 179 199 I, 180 199 going 181 199 up 182 199 to 183 199 him 184 199 as 185 199 cool 186 199 as 187 199 Mt. 188 199 Hecla 189 199 in 190 199 a 191 199 snow-storm--"landlord, 192 199 stop 193 199 whittling. 194 199 You 195 199 and 196 199 I 197 199 must 198 199 understand 1 200 one 3 200 another, 7 200 and 9 200 that 11 200 too 13 200 without 17 200 delay. 19 200 I 21 200 come 23 200 to 27 200 your 29 200 house 31 200 and 33 200 want 37 200 a 39 200 bed; 41 200 you 43 200 tell 47 200 me 49 200 you 51 200 can 53 200 only 57 200 give 59 200 me 61 200 half 63 200 a 67 200 one; 69 200

17 208 in 19 208 my 21 208 life. 23 208 I 25 208 tore 27 208 myself 29 208 out 31 208 of 33 208 it 35 208 in 37 208 such 41 208 a 43 208 hurry 45 208 that 47 208 I 49 208 gave 51 208 myself 53 208 a 55 208 kink 57 208 in 59 208 the 61 208 neck. 63 208 I 67 208 sat 69 208 down 71 208 on 73 208 the 75 208 side 77 208 of 79 208 the 81 208 bed, 83 208 and 85 208 commenced 87 208 thinking 89 208 about 93 208 this 95 208 head-peddling 97 208 harpooneer, 99 208 and 101 208 his 103 208 door 105 208 mat. 107 208 After 109 208 thinking 111 208 some 113 208 time 115 208 on 119 208 the 121 208 bed-side, 123 208 I 125 208 got 127 208 up 129 208 and 131 208 took 133 208 off 135 208 my 137 208 monkey 139 208 jacket, 141 208 and 145 208 then 147 208 stood 149 208 in 151 208 the 153 208 middle 155 208 of 157 208 the 159 208 room 161 208 thinking. 163 208 I 165 208 then 167 208 took 171 208 off 173 208 my 175 208 coat, 177 208 and 179 208 thought 181 208 a 183 208 little 185 208 more 187 208 in 189 208 my 191 208 shirt 193 208 sleeves. 197 208 But 199 208 beginning 201 208 to 203 208 feel 205 208 very 207 208 cold 1 209 now, 2 209 half 3 209 undressed 4 209 as 5 209 I 6 209 was, 7 209 and 8 209 remembering 9 209 what 10 209 the 12 209 landlord 13 209 said 14 209 about 15 209 the 16 209 harpooneer's 17 209 not 18 209 coming 20 209 home 21 209 at 23 209 all 24 209 that 25 209 night, 26 209 it 27 209 being 28 209 so 29 209 very 30 209 late, 31 209 I 32 209 made 34 209 no 35 209 more 36 209 ado, 37 209 but 39 209 jumped 40 209 out 41 209 of 42 209 my 43 209 pantaloons 45 209 and 46 209 boots, 47 209 and 48 209 then 49 209 blowing 50 209 out 51 209 the 52 209 light 53 209 tumbled 54 209 into 56 209 bed, 58 209 and 59 209 commended 60 209 myself 61 209 to 62 209 the 63 209 care 64 209 of 65 209 heaven. 67 209 Whether 68 209 that 69 209 mattress 70 209 was 71 209 stuffed 72 209 with 73 209 corn-cobs 74 209 or 75 209 broken 78 209 crockery, 79 209 there 80 209 is 81 209 no 82 209 telling, 83 209 but 84 209 I 85 209 rolled 86 209 about 87 209 a 89 209 good 90 209 deal, 91 209 and 92 209 could 93 209 not 94 209 sleep 96 209 for 97 209 a 98 209 long 100 209 time. 101 209 At 102 209 last 103 209 I 104 209 slid 105 209 off 106 209 into 107 209 a 108 209 light 109 209 doze, 111 209 and 112 209 had 113 209 pretty 115 209 nearly 116 209 made 117 209 a 118 209 good 119 209 offing 120 209 towards 122 209 the 123 209 land 124 209 of 125 209 Nod, 126 209 when 127 209 I 128 209 heard 129 209 a 130 209 heavy 131 209 footfall 134 209 in 135 209 the 136 209 passage, 137 209 and 138 209 saw 139 209 a 140 209 glimmer 141 209 of 142 209 light 144 209 come 145 209 into 146 209 the 147 209 room 148 209 from 149 209 under 150 209 the 151 209 door. 153 209 Lord 155 209 save 156 209 me, 157 209 thinks 158 209 I, 159 209 that 160 209 must 161 209 be 162 209 the 163 209 harpooneer, 164 209 the 166 209 infernal 167 209 head-peddler. 168 209 But 169 209 I 170 209 lay 172 209 perfectly 173 209 still, 174 209 and 175 209 resolved 177 209 not 178 209 to 179 209 say 180 209 a 181 209 word 182 209 till 183 209 spoken 184 209 to. 185 209 Holding 186 209 a 188 209 light 189 209 in 191 209 one 192 209 hand, 193 209 and 194 209 that 195 209 identical 196 209 New 197 209 Zealand 199 209 head 200 209 in 201 209 the 202 209 other, 203 209 the 204 209 stranger 205 209 entered 206 209 the 207 209 room, 208 209 and 1 210 without 11 210 looking 13 210 towards 17 210 the 19 210 bed, 23 210 placed 29 210 his 31 210 candle 37 210 a 41 210 good 43 210 way 47 210 off 53 210 from 59 210 me 61 210 on 67 210 the 71 210 floor 73 210 in 79 210 one 83 210 corner, 89 210 and 97 210 then 101 210 began 103 210 working 107 210 away 109 210 at 113 210 the 121 210 knotted 127 210 cords 131 210 of 137 210 the 139 210 large 143 210 bag 149 210 I 151 210 before 157 210 spoke 163 210 of 167 210 as 169 210 being 173 210 in 179 210 the 181 210 room. 187 210 I 191 210 was 193 210 all 197 210 eagerness 199 210 to 209 210 see 1 211 his 2 211 face, 3 211 but 4 211 he 5 211 kept 6 211 it 7 211 averted 8 211 for 9 211 some 10 211 time 11 211 while 12 211 employed 13 211 in 14 211 unlacing 15 211 the 16 211 bag's 17 211 mouth. 18 211 This 19 211 accomplished, 20 211 however, 21 211 he 22 211 turned 23 211 round--when, 24 211 good 25 211 heavens! 26 211 what 27 211 a 28 211 sight! 29 211 Such 30 211 a 31 211 face! 32 211 It 33 211 was 34 211 of 35 211 a 36 211 dark, 37 211 purplish, 38 211 yellow 39 211 colour, 40 211 here 41 211 and 42 211 there 43 211 stuck 44 211 over 45 211 with 46 211 large 47 211 blackish 48 211 looking 49 211 squares. 50 211 Yes, 51 211 it's 52 211 just 53 211 as 54 211 I 55 211 thought, 56 211 he's 57 211 a 58 211 terrible 59 211 bedfellow; 60 211 he's 61 211 been 62 211 in 63 211 a 64 211 fight, 65 211 got 66 211 dreadfully 67 211 cut, 68 211 and 69 211 here 70 211 he 71 211 is, 72 211 just 73 211 from 74 211 the 75 211 surgeon. 76 211 But 77 211 at 78 211 that 79 211 moment 80 211 he 81 211 chanced 82 211 to 83 211 turn 84 211 his 85 211 face 86 211 so 87 211 towards 88 211 the 89 211 light, 90 211 that 91 211 I 92 211 plainly 93 211 saw 94 211 they 95 211 could 96 211 not 97 211 be 98 211 sticking-plasters 99 211 at 100 211 all, 101 211 those 102 211 black 103 211 squares 104 211 on 105 211 his 106 211 cheeks. 107 211 They 108 211 were 109 211 stains 110 211 of 111 211 some 112 211 sort 113 211 or 114 211 other. 115 211 At 116 211 first 117 211 I 118 211 knew 119 211 not 120 211 what 121 211 to 122 211 make 123 211 of 124 211 this; 125 211 but 126 211 soon 127 211 an 128 211 inkling 129 211 of 130 211 the 131 211 truth 132 211 occurred 133 211 to 134 211 me. 135 211 I 136 211 remembered 137 211 a 138 211 story 139 211 of 140 211 a 141 211 white 142 211 man--a 143 211 whaleman 144 211 too--who, 145 211 falling 146 211 among 147 211 the 148 211 cannibals, 149 211 had 150 211 been 151 211 tattooed 152 211 by 153 211 them. 154 211 I 155 211 concluded 156 211 that 157 211 this 158 211 harpooneer, 159 211 in 160 211 the 161 211 course 162 211 of 163 211 his 164 211 distant 165 211 voyages, 166 211 must 167 211 have 168 211 met 169 211 with 170 211 a 171 211 similar 172 211 adventure. 173 211 And 174 211 what 175 211 is 176 211 it, 177 211 thought 178 211 I, 179 211 after 180 211 all! 181 211 It's 182 211 only 183 211 his 184 211 outside; 185 211 a 186 211 man 187 211 can 188 211 be 189 211 honest 190 211 in 191 211 any 192 211 sort 193 211 of 194 211 skin. 195 211 But 196 211 then, 197 211 what 198 211 to 199 211 make 200 211 of 201 211 his 202 211 unearthly 203 211 complexion, 204 211 that 205 211 part 206 211 of 207 211 it, 208 211 I 209 211 mean, 210 211 lying 1 212 round 3 212 about, 5 212 and 7 212 completely 9 212 independent 11 212 of 13 212 the 15 212 squares 17 212 of 19 212 tattooing. 21 212 To 23 212 be 25 212 sure, 27 212 it 29 212 might 31 212 be 33 212 nothing 35 212 but 37 212 a 39 212 good 41 212 coat 43 212 of 45 212 tropical 47 212 tanning; 49 212 but 51 212 I 55 212 never 57 212 heard 59 212 of 61 212 a 63 212 hot 65 212 sun's 67 212 tanning 69 212 a 71 212 white 73 212 man 75 212 into 77 212 a 79 212 purplish 81 212 yellow 83 212 one. 85 212 However, 87 212 I 89 212 had 91 212 never 93 212 been 95 212 in 97 212 the 99 212 South 101 212 Seas; 103 212 and 105 212 perhaps 107 212 the 109 212 sun 111 212 there 113 212 produced 115 212 these 117 212 extraordinary 119 212 effects 121 212 upon 123 212 the 125 212 skin. 127 212 Now, 129 212 while 131 212 all 133 212 these 135 212 ideas 137 212 were 139 212 passing 141 212 through 143 212 me 145 212 like 147 212 lightning, 149 212 this 151 212 harpooneer 153 212 never 155 212 noticed 157 212 me 161 212 at 163 212 all. 165 212 But, 167 212 after 169 212 some 171 212 difficulty 173 212 having 175 212 opened 177 212 his 179 212 bag, 181 212 he 183 212 commenced 185 212 fumbling 187 212 in 189 212 it, 191 212 and 193 212 presently 195 212 pulled 197 212 out 199 212 a 201 212 sort 203 212 of 205 212 tomahawk, 207 212 and 209 212 a 211 212 seal-skin 1 213 wallet 2 213 with 4 213 the 5 213 hair 7 213 on. 8 213 Placing 10 213 these 11 213 on 13 213 the 14 213 old 16 213 chest 17 213 in 19 213 the 20 213 middle 22 213 of 23 213 the 25 213 room, 26 213 he 28 213 then 29 213 took 31 213 the 32 213 New 34 213 Zealand 35 213 head--a 37 213 ghastly 38 213 thing 40 213 enough--and 41 213 crammed 43 213 it 44 213 down 46 213 into 47 213 the 49 213 bag. 50 213 He 52 213 now 53 213 took 55 213 off 56 213 his 58 213 hat--a 59 213 new 61 213 beaver 62 213 hat--when 64 213 I 65 213 came 67 213 nigh 68 213 singing 70 213 out 73 213 with 74 213 fresh 76 213 surprise. 77 213 There 79 213 was 80 213 no 82 213 hair 83 213 on 85 213 his 86 213 head--none 88 213 to 89 213 speak 91 213 of 92 213 at 94 213 least--nothing 95 213 but 97 213 a 98 213 small 100 213 scalp-knot 101 213 twisted 103 213 up 104 213 on 106 213 his 107 213 forehead. 109 213 His 110 213 bald 112 213 purplish 113 213 head 115 213 now 116 213 looked 118 213 for 119 213 all 121 213 the 122 213 world 124 213 like 125 213 a 127 213 mildewed 128 213 skull. 130 213 Had 131 213 not 133 213 the 134 213 stranger 136 213 stood 137 213 between 139 213 me 140 213 and 143 213 the 145 213 door, 146 213 I 148 213 would 149 213 have 151 213 bolted 152 213 out 154 213 of 155 213 it 157 213 quicker 158 213 than 160 213 ever 161 213 I 163 213 bolted 164 213 a 166 213 dinner. 167 213 Even 169 213 as 170 213 it 172 213 was, 173 213 I 175 213 thought 176 213 something 178 213 of 179 213 slipping 181 213 out 182 213 of 184 213 the 185 213 window, 187 213 but 188 213 it 190 213 was 191 213 the 193 213 second 194 213 floor 196 213 back. 197 213 I 199 213 am 200 213 no 202 213 coward, 203 213 but 205 213 what 206 213 to 208 213 make 209 213 of 211 213 this 212 213 head-peddling 1 214 purple 3 214 rascal 5 214 altogether 7 214 passed 9 214 my 11 214 comprehension. 13 214 Ignorance 15 214 is 17 214 the 19 214 parent 21 214 of 23 214 fear, 25 214 and 27 214 being 29 214 completely 31 214 nonplussed 33 214 and 35 214 confounded 37 214 about 39 214 the 41 214 stranger, 43 214 I 45 214 confess 47 214 I 49 214 was 51 214 now 53 214 as 55 214 much 57 214 afraid 59 214 of 61 214 him 63 214 as 65 214 if 67 214 it 69 214 was 71 214 the 73 214 devil 75 214 himself 77 214 who 79 214 had 81 214 thus 83 214 broken 85 214 into 87 214 my 89 214 room 91 214 at 93 214 the 95 214 dead 97 214 of 99 214 night. 101 214 In 103 214 fact, 105 214 I 109 214 was 111 214 so 113 214 afraid 115 214 of 117 214 him 119 214 that 121 214 I 123 214 was 125 214 not 127 214 game 129 214 enough 131 214 just 133 214 then 135 214 to 137 214 address 139 214 him, 141 214 and 143 214 demand 145 214 a 147 214 satisfactory 149 214 answer 151 214 concerning 153 214 what 155 214 seemed 157 214 inexplicable 159 214 in 161 214 him. 163 214 Meanwhile, 165 214 he 167 214 continued 169 214 the 171 214 business 173 214 of 175 214 undressing, 177 214 and 179 214 at 181 214 last 183 214 showed 185 214 his 187 214 chest 189 214 and 191 214 arms. 193 214 As 195 214 I 197 214 live, 199 214 these 201 214 covered 203 214 parts 205 214 of 207 214 him 209 214 were 211 214 checkered 213 214 with 1 215 the 2 215 same 3 215 squares 4 215 as 6 215 his 7 215 face; 8 215 his 9 215 back, 11 215 too, 12 215 was 13 215 all 14 215 over 16 215 the 17 215 same 18 215 dark 19 215 squares; 21 215 he 22 215 seemed 23 215 to 24 215 have 26 215 been 27 215 in 28 215 a 29 215 Thirty 31 215 Years' 32 215 War, 33 215 and 34 215 just 36 215 escaped 37 215 from 38 215 it 39 215 with 41 215 a 42 215 sticking-plaster 44 215 shirt. 46 215 Still 47 215 more, 48 215 his 49 215 very 51 215 legs 52 215 were 53 215 marked, 54 215 as 56 215 if 57 215 a 58 215 parcel 59 215 of 61 215 dark 62 215 green 63 215 frogs 64 215 were 66 215 running 67 215 up 68 215 the 69 215 trunks 71 215 of 72 215 young 73 215 palms. 74 215 It 76 215 was 77 215 now 78 215 quite 79 215 plain 81 215 that 82 215 he 83 215 must 84 215 be 87 215 some 88 215 abominable 89 215 savage 91 215 or 92 215 other 93 215 shipped 94 215 aboard 96 215 of 97 215 a 98 215 whaleman 99 215 in 101 215 the 102 215 South 103 215 Seas, 104 215 and 106 215 so 107 215 landed 108 215 in 109 215 this 111 215 Christian 112 215 country. 113 215 I 114 215 quaked 116 215 to 117 215 think 118 215 of 119 215 it. 121 215 A 122 215 peddler 123 215 of 124 215 heads 126 215 too--perhaps 127 215 the 128 215 heads 131 215 of 132 215 his 133 215 own 134 215 brothers. 136 215 He 137 215 might 138 215 take 139 215 a 141 215 fancy 142 215 to 143 215 mine--heavens! 144 215 look 146 215 at 147 215 that 148 215 tomahawk! 149 215 But 151 215 there 152 215 was 153 215 no 154 215 time 156 215 for 157 215 shuddering, 158 215 for 159 215 now 161 215 the 162 215 savage 163 215 went 164 215 about 166 215 something 167 215 that 168 215 completely 169 215 fascinated 171 215 my 173 215 attention, 174 215 and 176 215 convinced 177 215 me 178 215 that 179 215 he 181 215 must 182 215 indeed 183 215 be 184 215 a 186 215 heathen. 187 215 Going 188 215 to 189 215 his 191 215 heavy 192 215 grego, 193 215 or 194 215 wrapall, 196 215 or 197 215 dreadnaught, 198 215 which 199 215 he 201 215 had 202 215 previously 203 215 hung 204 215 on 206 215 a 207 215 chair, 208 215 he 209 215 fumbled 211 215 in 212 215 the 213 215 pockets, 214 215 and 1 216 produced 5 216 at 7 216 length 11 216 a 13 216 curious 17 216 little 19 216 deformed 23 216 image 25 216 with 29 216 a 31 216 hunch 35 216 on 37 216 its 41 216 back, 43 216 and 47 216 exactly 49 216 the 53 216 colour 55 216 of 59 216 a 61 216 three 65 216 days' 67 216 old 71 216 Congo 73 216 baby. 77 216 Remembering 79 216 the 83 216 embalmed 85 216 head, 89 216 at 91 216 first 95 216 I 97 216 almost 101 216 thought 103 216 that 107 216 this 109 216 black 113 216 manikin 115 216 was 119 216 a 121 216 real 125 216 baby 127 216 preserved 131 216 in 133 216 some 137 216 similar 139 216 manner. 143 216 But 145 216 seeing 149 216 that 151 216 it 155 216 was 157 216 not 161 216 at 163 216 all 167 216 limber, 169 216 and 173 216 that 175 216 it 179 216 glistened 181 216 a 185 216 good 187 216 deal 191 216 like 193 216 polished 197 216 ebony, 199 216 I 203 216 concluded 205 216 that 209 216 it 211 216 must 215 216 be 1 217 nothing 2 217 but 3 217 a 4 217 wooden 5 217 idol, 6 217 which 8 217 indeed 9 217 it 10 217 proved 11 217 to 12 217 be. 13 217 For 15 217 now 16 217 the 17 217 savage 18 217 goes 19 217 up 20 217 to 22 217 the 23 217 empty 24 217 fire-place, 25 217 and 26 217 removing 27 217 the 29 217 papered 30 217 fire-board, 32 217 sets 33 217 up 34 217 this 36 217 little 37 217 hunch-backed 38 217 image, 39 217 like 40 217 a 41 217 tenpin, 43 217 between 44 217 the 45 217 andirons. 46 217 The 47 217 chimney 48 217 jambs 50 217 and 51 217 all 52 217 the 53 217 bricks 54 217 inside 55 217 were 57 217 very 58 217 sooty, 59 217 so 60 217 that 61 217 I 64 217 thought 65 217 this 66 217 fire-place 67 217 made 68 217 a 69 217 very 71 217 appropriate 72 217 little 73 217 shrine 74 217 or 75 217 chapel 76 217 for 78 217 his 79 217 Congo 80 217 idol. 81 217 I 82 217 now 83 217 screwed 85 217 my 86 217 eyes 87 217 hard 88 217 towards 89 217 the 90 217 half 92 217 hidden 94 217 image, 95 217 feeling 96 217 but 97 217 ill 99 217 at 100 217 ease 101 217 meantime--to 102 217 see 103 217 what 104 217 was 106 217 next 107 217 to 108 217 follow. 109 217 First 110 217 he 111 217 takes 113 217 about 114 217 a 115 217 double 116 217 handful 117 217 of 118 217 shavings 120 217 out 121 217 of 122 217 his 123 217 grego 125 217 pocket, 127 217 and 128 217 places 129 217 them 130 217 carefully 131 217 before 132 217 the 134 217 idol; 135 217 then 136 217 laying 137 217 a 138 217 bit 139 217 of 141 217 ship 142 217 biscuit 143 217 on 144 217 top 145 217 and 146 217 applying 148 217 the 149 217 flame 150 217 from 151 217 the 152 217 lamp, 153 217 he 156 217 kindled 157 217 the 158 217 shavings 159 217 into 160 217 a 162 217 sacrificial 163 217 blaze. 164 217 Presently, 165 217 after 166 217 many 167 217 hasty 169 217 snatches 170 217 into 171 217 the 172 217 fire, 173 217 and 174 217 still 176 217 hastier 177 217 withdrawals 178 217 of 179 217 his 180 217 fingers 181 217 (whereby 183 217 he 184 217 seemed 185 217 to 187 217 be 188 217 scorching 190 217 them 191 217 badly), 192 217 he 193 217 at 194 217 last 195 217 succeeded 197 217 in 198 217 drawing 199 217 out 200 217 the 201 217 biscuit; 202 217 then 204 217 blowing 205 217 off 206 217 the 207 217 heat 208 217 and 209 217 ashes 211 217 a 212 217 little, 213 217 he 214 217 made 215 217 a 216 217 polite 1 218 offer 3 218 of 5 218 it 7 218 to 9 218 the 11 218 little 13 218 negro. 15 218 But 17 218 the 19 218 little 21 218 devil 23 218 did 25 218 not 27 218 seem 29 218 to 31 218 fancy 33 218 such 35 218 dry 37 218 sort 39 218 of 41 218 fare 43 218 at 45 218 all; 47 218 he 49 218 never 51 218 moved 53 218 his 55 218 lips. 57 218 All 59 218 these 61 218 strange 63 218 antics 65 218 were 67 218 accompanied 69 218 by 71 218 still 73 218 stranger 75 218 guttural 77 218 noises 79 218 from 81 218 the 83 218 devotee, 85 218 who 87 218 seemed 89 218 to 91 218 be 93 218 praying 95 218 in 97 218 a 99 218 sing-song 101 218 or 103 218 else 105 218 singing 107 218 some 111 218 pagan 113 218 psalmody 115 218 or 117 218 other, 119 218 during 121 218 which 123 218 his 125 218 face 127 218 twitched 129 218 about 131 218 in 133 218 the 135 218 most 137 218 unnatural 139 218 manner. 141 218 At 143 218 last 145 218 extinguishing 147 218 the 149 218 fire, 151 218 he 153 218 took 155 218 the 157 218 idol 159 218 up 161 218 very 163 218 unceremoniously, 165 218 and 167 218 bagged 169 218 it 171 218 again 173 218 in 175 218 his 177 218 grego 179 218 pocket 181 218 as 183 218 carelessly 185 218 as 187 218 if 189 218 he 191 218 were 193 218 a 195 218 sportsman 197 218 bagging 199 218 a 201 218 dead 203 218 woodcock. 205 218 All 207 218 these 209 218 queer 211 218 proceedings 213 218 increased 215 218 my 217 218 uncomfortableness, 1 219 and 2 219 seeing 4 219 him 5 219 now 7 219 exhibiting 8 219 strong 10 219 symptoms 11 219 of 13 219 concluding 14 219 his 16 219 business 17 219 operations, 19 219 and 20 219 jumping 22 219 into 23 219 bed 25 219 with 26 219 me, 28 219 I 29 219 thought 31 219 it 32 219 was 34 219 high 35 219 time, 37 219 now 38 219 or 40 219 never, 41 219 before 43 219 the 44 219 light 46 219 was 47 219 put 49 219 out, 50 219 to 52 219 break 53 219 the 55 219 spell 56 219 in 58 219 which 59 219 I 61 219 had 62 219 so 64 219 long 65 219 been 67 219 bound. 68 219 But 70 219 the 71 219 interval 74 219 I 76 219 spent 77 219 in 79 219 deliberating 80 219 what 82 219 to 83 219 say, 85 219 was 86 219 a 88 219 fatal 89 219 one. 91 219 Taking 92 219 up 94 219 his 95 219 tomahawk 97 219 from 98 219 the 100 219 table, 101 219 he 103 219 examined 104 219 the 106 219 head 107 219 of 109 219 it 110 219 for 112 219 an 113 219 instant, 115 219 and 116 219 then 118 219 holding 119 219 it 121 219 to 122 219 the 124 219 light, 125 219 with 127 219 his 128 219 mouth 130 219 at 131 219 the 133 219 handle, 134 219 he 136 219 puffed 137 219 out 139 219 great 140 219 clouds 142 219 of 143 219 tobacco 145 219 smoke. 148 219 The 149 219 next 151 219 moment 152 219 the 154 219 light 155 219 was 157 219 extinguished, 158 219 and 160 219 this 161 219 wild 163 219 cannibal, 164 219 tomahawk 166 219 between 167 219 his 169 219 teeth, 170 219 sprang 172 219 into 173 219 bed 175 219 with 176 219 me. 178 219 I 179 219 sang 181 219 out, 182 219 I 184 219 could 185 219 not 187 219 help 188 219 it 190 219 now; 191 219 and 193 219 giving 194 219 a 196 219 sudden 197 219 grunt 199 219 of 200 219 astonishment 202 219 he 203 219 began 205 219 feeling 206 219 me. 208 219 Stammering 209 219 out 211 219 something, 212 219 I 214 219 knew 215 219 not 217 219 what, 218 219 I 1 220 rolled 3 220 away 7 220 from 9 220 him 13 220 against 17 220 the 19 220 wall, 21 220 and 23 220 then 27 220 conjured 29 220 him, 31 220 whoever 37 220 or 39 220 whatever 41 220 he 43 220 might 47 220 be, 49 220 to 51 220 keep 53 220 quiet, 57 220 and 59 220 let 61 220 me 63 220 get 67 220 up 69 220 and 71 220 light 73 220 the 79 220 lamp 81 220 again. 83 220 But 87 220 his 89 220 guttural 91 220 responses 93 220 satisfied 97 220 me 101 220 at 103 220 once 107 220 that 109 220 he 111 220 but 113 220 ill 117 220 comprehended 119 220 my 123 220 meaning. 127 220 "Who-e 129 220 debel 131 220 you?"--he 133 220 at 137 220 last 139 220 said--"you 141 220 no 147 220 speak-e, 149 220 dam-me, 151 220 I 153 220 kill-e." 157 220 And 159 220 so 161 220 saying 163 220 the 167 220 lighted 169 220 tomahawk 171 220 began 173 220 flourishing 177 220 about 179 220 me 181 220 in 183 220 the 189 220 dark. 191 220 "Landlord, 193 220 for 197 220 God's 199 220 sake, 201 220 Peter 203 220 Coffin!" 207 220 shouted 211 220 I. 213 220 "Landlord! 217 220 Watch! 219 220 Coffin! 1 221 Angels! 2 221 save 3 221 me!" 4 221 "Speak-e! 5 221 tell-ee 6 221 me 7 221 who-ee 8 221 be, 9 221 or 10 221 dam-me, 11 221 I 12 221 kill-e!" 14 221 again 15 221 growled 16 221 the 18 221 cannibal, 19 221 while 20 221 his 21 221 horrid 22 221 flourishings 23 221 of 24 221 the 25 221 tomahawk 27 221 scattered 28 221 the 29 221 hot 30 221 tobacco 31 221 ashes 32 221 about 33 221 me 35 221 till 36 221 I 37 221 thought 38 221 my 40 221 linen 41 221 would 42 221 get 43 221 on 44 221 fire. 45 221 But 46 221 thank 47 221 heaven, 48 221 at 49 221 that 50 221 moment 53 221 the 54 221 landlord 55 221 came 56 221 into 57 221 the 58 221 room 59 221 light 60 221 in 61 221 hand, 62 221 and 63 221 leaping 64 221 from 66 221 the 67 221 bed 69 221 I 70 221 ran 71 221 up 72 221 to 73 221 him. 74 221 "Don't 75 221 be 76 221 afraid 77 221 now," 79 221 said 80 221 he, 81 221 grinning 82 221 again, 83 221 "Queequeg 84 221 here 86 221 wouldn't 87 221 harm 88 221 a 89 221 hair 90 221 of 92 221 your 93 221 head." 94 221 "Stop 95 221 your 96 221 grinning," 97 221 shouted 98 221 I, 99 221 "and 100 221 why 101 221 didn't 103 221 you 105 221 tell 106 221 me 107 221 that 108 221 that 109 221 infernal 110 221 harpooneer 111 221 was 112 221 a 113 221 cannibal?" 114 221 "I 115 221 thought 116 221 ye 118 221 know'd 120 221 it;--didn't 121 221 I 122 221 tell 123 221 ye, 124 221 he 125 221 was 126 221 a 127 221 peddlin' 128 221 heads 129 221 around 131 221 town?--but 132 221 turn 133 221 flukes 134 221 again 135 221 and 137 221 go 138 221 to 139 221 sleep. 140 221 Queequeg, 141 221 look 142 221 here--you 144 221 sabbee 145 221 me, 146 221 I 147 221 sabbee--you 148 221 this 149 221 man 150 221 sleepe 151 221 you--you 152 221 sabbee?" 154 221 "Me 155 221 sabbee 157 221 plenty"--grunted 158 221 Queequeg, 159 221 puffing 160 221 away 161 221 at 162 221 his 163 221 pipe 164 221 and 165 221 sitting 166 221 up 167 221 in 168 221 bed. 171 221 "You 172 221 gettee 173 221 in," 174 221 he 175 221 added, 176 221 motioning 177 221 to 178 221 me 179 221 with 180 221 his 181 221 tomahawk, 183 221 and 184 221 throwing 185 221 the 186 221 clothes 188 221 to 189 221 one 190 221 side. 191 221 He 192 221 really 193 221 did 194 221 this 196 221 in 197 221 not 198 221 only 199 221 a 200 221 civil 201 221 but 202 221 a 203 221 really 205 221 kind 206 221 and 207 221 charitable 209 221 way. 210 221 I 211 221 stood 212 221 looking 213 221 at 214 221 him 215 221 a 216 221 moment. 217 221 For 218 221 all 219 221 his 220 221 tattooings 1 222 he 5 222 was 7 222 on 11 222 the 13 222 whole 17 222 a 19 222 clean, 23 222 comely 25 222 looking 29 222 cannibal. 31 222 What's 35 222 all 41 222 this 43 222 fuss 47 222 I 49 222 have 53 222 been 55 222 making 59 222 about, 61 222 thought 65 222 I 67 222 to 71 222 myself--the 73 222 man's 77 222 a 79 222 human 83 222 being 85 222 just 89 222 as 91 222 I 95 222 am: 97 222 he 101 222 has 103 222 just 107 222 as 109 222 much 113 222 reason 115 222 to 119 222 fear 121 222 me, 125 222 as 127 222 I 131 222 have 133 222 to 137 222 be 139 222 afraid 143 222 of 145 222 him. 149 222 Better 151 222 sleep 155 222 with 157 222 a 161 222 sober 163 222 cannibal 167 222 than 169 222 a 173 222 drunken 175 222 Christian. 179 222 "Landlord," 181 222 said 187 222 I, 191 222 "tell 193 222 him 197 222 to 199 222 stash 203 222 his 205 222 tomahawk 209 222 there, 211 222 or 215 222 pipe, 217 222 or 221 222 whatever 1 223 you 2 223 call 3 223 it; 4 223 tell 5 223 him 6 223 to 7 223 stop 8 223 smoking, 9 223 in 10 223 short, 11 223 and 12 223 I 13 223 will 14 223 turn 15 223 in 16 223 with 17 223 him. 18 223 But 19 223 I 20 223 don't 21 223 fancy 22 223 having 23 223 a 24 223 man 25 223 smoking 26 223 in 27 223 bed 28 223 with 29 223 me. 30 223 It's 31 223 dangerous. 32 223 Besides, 33 223 I 34 223 ain't 35 223 insured." 36 223 This 37 223 being 38 223 told 39 223 to 40 223 Queequeg, 41 223 he 42 223 at 43 223 once 44 223 complied, 45 223 and 46 223 again 47 223 politely 48 223 motioned 49 223 me 50 223 to 51 223 get 52 223 into 53 223 bed--rolling 54 223 over 55 223 to 56 223 one 57 223 side 58 223 as 59 223 much 60 223 as 61 223 to 62 223 say--I 63 223 won't 64 223 touch 65 223 a 66 223 leg 67 223 of 68 223 ye." 69 223 "Good 70 223 night, 71 223 landlord," 72 223 said 73 223 I, 74 223 "you 75 223 may 76 223 go." 77 223 I 78 223 turned 79 223 in, 80 223 and 81 223 never 82 223 slept 83 223 better 84 223 in 85 223 my 86 223 life. 87 223 CHAPTER 88 223 4 89 223 The 90 223 Counterpane. 91 223 Upon 92 223 waking 93 223 next 94 223 morning 95 223 about 96 223 daylight, 97 223 I 98 223 found 99 223 Queequeg's 100 223 arm 101 223 thrown 102 223 over 103 223 me 104 223 in 105 223 the 106 223 most 107 223 loving 108 223 and 109 223 affectionate 110 223 manner. 111 223 You 112 223 had 113 223 almost 114 223 thought 115 223 I 116 223 had 117 223 been 118 223 his 119 223 wife. 120 223 The 121 223 counterpane 122 223 was 123 223 of 124 223 patchwork, 125 223 full 126 223 of 127 223 odd 128 223 little 129 223 parti-coloured 130 223 squares 131 223 and 132 223 triangles; 133 223 and 134 223 this 135 223 arm 136 223 of 137 223 his 138 223 tattooed 139 223 all 140 223 over 141 223 with 142 223 an 143 223 interminable 144 223 Cretan 145 223 labyrinth 146 223 of 147 223 a 148 223 figure, 149 223 no 150 223 two 151 223 parts 152 223 of 153 223 which 154 223 were 155 223 of 156 223 one 157 223 precise 158 223 shade--owing 159 223 I 160 223 suppose 161 223 to 162 223 his 163 223 keeping 164 223 his 165 223 arm 166 223 at 167 223 sea 168 223 unmethodically 169 223 in 170 223 sun 171 223 and 172 223 shade, 173 223 his 174 223 shirt 175 223 sleeves 176 223 irregularly 177 223 rolled 178 223 up 179 223 at 180 223 various 181 223 times--this 182 223 same 183 223 arm 184 223 of 185 223 his, 186 223 I 187 223 say, 188 223 looked 189 223 for 190 223 all 191 223 the 192 223 world 193 223 like 194 223 a 195 223 strip 196 223 of 197 223 that 198 223 same 199 223 patchwork 200 223 quilt. 201 223 Indeed, 202 223 partly 203 223 lying 204 223 on 205 223 it 206 223 as 207 223 the 208 223 arm 209 223 did 210 223 when 211 223 I 212 223 first 213 223 awoke, 214 223 I 215 223 could 216 223 hardly 217 223 tell 218 223 it 219 223 from 220 223 the 221 223 quilt, 222 223 they 1 224 so 3 224 blended 5 224 their 9 224 hues 11 224 together; 13 224 and 15 224 it 17 224 was 19 224 only 23 224 by 25 224 the 27 224 sense 29 224 of 31 224 weight 33 224 and 37 224 pressure 39 224 that 41 224 I 43 224 could 45 224 tell 47 224 that 51 224 Queequeg 53 224 was 55 224 hugging 57 224 me. 59 224 My 61 224 sensations 65 224 were 67 224 strange. 69 224 Let 71 224 me 73 224 try 75 224 to 79 224 explain 81 224 them. 83 224 When 85 224 I 87 224 was 89 224 a 93 224 child, 95 224 I 97 224 well 99 224 remember 101 224 a 103 224 somewhat 107 224 similar 109 224 circumstance 111 224 that 113 224 befell 115 224 me; 117 224 whether 121 224 it 123 224 was 125 224 a 127 224 reality 129 224 or 131 224 a 135 224 dream, 137 224 I 139 224 never 141 224 could 143 224 entirely 145 224 settle. 149 224 The 151 224 circumstance 153 224 was 155 224 this. 157 224 I 159 224 had 163 224 been 165 224 cutting 167 224 up 169 224 some 171 224 caper 173 224 or 177 224 other--I 179 224 think 181 224 it 183 224 was 185 224 trying 187 224 to 191 224 crawl 193 224 up 195 224 the 197 224 chimney, 199 224 as 201 224 I 205 224 had 207 224 seen 209 224 a 211 224 little 213 224 sweep 215 224 do 219 224 a 221 224 few 223 224 days 1 225 previous; 2 225 and 4 225 my 7 225 stepmother 8 225 who, 11 225 somehow 13 225 or 14 225 other, 16 225 was 17 225 all 19 225 the 22 225 time 23 225 whipping 26 225 me, 28 225 or 29 225 sending 31 225 me 32 225 to 34 225 bed 37 225 supperless,--my 38 225 mother 41 225 dragged 43 225 me 44 225 by 46 225 the 47 225 legs 49 225 out 52 225 of 53 225 the 56 225 chimney 58 225 and 59 225 packed 61 225 me 62 225 off 64 225 to 67 225 bed, 68 225 though 71 225 it 73 225 was 74 225 only 76 225 two 77 225 o'clock 79 225 in 82 225 the 83 225 afternoon 86 225 of 88 225 the 89 225 21st 91 225 June, 92 225 the 94 225 longest 97 225 day 98 225 in 101 225 the 103 225 year 104 225 in 106 225 our 107 225 hemisphere. 109 225 I 112 225 felt 113 225 dreadfully. 116 225 But 118 225 there 119 225 was 121 225 no 122 225 help 124 225 for 127 225 it, 128 225 so 131 225 up 133 225 stairs 134 225 I 136 225 went 137 225 to 139 225 my 142 225 little 143 225 room 146 225 in 148 225 the 149 225 third 151 225 floor, 152 225 undressed 154 225 myself 157 225 as 158 225 slowly 161 225 as 163 225 possible 164 225 so 166 225 as 167 225 to 169 225 kill 172 225 time, 173 225 and 176 225 with 178 225 a 179 225 bitter 181 225 sigh 182 225 got 184 225 between 187 225 the 188 225 sheets. 191 225 I 193 225 lay 194 225 there 196 225 dismally 197 225 calculating 199 225 that 202 225 sixteen 203 225 entire 206 225 hours 208 225 must 209 225 elapse 211 225 before 212 225 I 214 225 could 217 225 hope 218 225 for 221 225 a 223 225 resurrection. 224 225 Sixteen 1 226 hours 3 226 in 5 226 bed! 7 226 the 9 226 small 11 226 of 13 226 my 15 226 back 17 226 ached 19 226 to 21 226 think 23 226 of 25 226 it. 27 226 And 29 226 it 31 226 was 33 226 so 35 226 light 37 226 too; 39 226 the 41 226 sun 43 226 shining 45 226 in 47 226 at 49 226 the 51 226 window, 53 226 and 55 226 a 57 226 great 59 226 rattling 61 226 of 63 226 coaches 65 226 in 67 226 the 69 226 streets, 71 226 and 73 226 the 75 226 sound 77 226 of 79 226 gay 81 226 voices 83 226 all 85 226 over 87 226 the 89 226 house. 91 226 I 93 226 felt 95 226 worse 97 226 and 99 226 worse--at 101 226 last 103 226 I 105 226 got 107 226 up, 109 226 dressed, 111 226 and 115 226 softly 117 226 going 119 226 down 121 226 in 123 226 my 125 226 stockinged 127 226 feet, 129 226 sought 131 226 out 133 226 my 135 226 stepmother, 137 226 and 139 226 suddenly 141 226 threw 143 226 myself 145 226 at 147 226 her 149 226 feet, 151 226 beseeching 153 226 her 155 226 as 157 226 a 159 226 particular 161 226 favour 163 226 to 165 226 give 167 226 me 169 226 a 171 226 good 173 226 slippering 175 226 for 177 226 my 179 226 misbehaviour; 181 226 anything 183 226 indeed 185 226 but 187 226 condemning 189 226 me 191 226 to 193 226 lie 195 226 abed 197 226 such 199 226 an 201 226 unendurable 203 226 length 205 226 of 207 226 time. 209 226 But 211 226 she 213 226 was 215 226 the 217 226 best 219 226 and 221 226 most 223 226 conscientious 225 226 of 1 227 stepmothers, 2 227 and 3 227 back 4 227 I 5 227 had 6 227 to 7 227 go 8 227 to 9 227 my 10 227 room. 11 227 For 12 227 several 13 227 hours 14 227 I 15 227 lay 16 227 there 17 227 broad 18 227 awake, 19 227 feeling 20 227 a 21 227 great 22 227 deal 23 227 worse 24 227 than 25 227 I 26 227 have 27 227 ever 28 227 done 29 227 since, 30 227 even 31 227 from 32 227 the 33 227 greatest 34 227 subsequent 35 227 misfortunes. 36 227 At 37 227 last 38 227 I 39 227 must 40 227 have 41 227 fallen 42 227 into 43 227 a 44 227 troubled 45 227 nightmare 46 227 of 47 227 a 48 227 doze; 49 227 and 50 227 slowly 51 227 waking 52 227 from 53 227 it--half 54 227 steeped 55 227 in 56 227 dreams--I 57 227 opened 58 227 my 59 227 eyes, 60 227 and 61 227 the 62 227 before 63 227 sun-lit 64 227 room 65 227 was 66 227 now 67 227 wrapped 68 227 in 69 227 outer 70 227 darkness. 71 227 Instantly 72 227 I 73 227 felt 74 227 a 75 227 shock 76 227 running 77 227 through 78 227 all 79 227 my 80 227 frame; 81 227 nothing 82 227 was 83 227 to 84 227 be 85 227 seen, 86 227 and 87 227 nothing 88 227 was 89 227 to 90 227 be 91 227 heard; 92 227 but 93 227 a 94 227 supernatural 95 227 hand 96 227 seemed 97 227 placed 98 227 in 99 227 mine. 100 227 My 101 227 arm 102 227 hung 103 227 over 104 227 the 105 227 counterpane, 106 227 and 107 227 the 108 227 nameless, 109 227 unimaginable, 110 227 silent 111 227 form 112 227 or 113 227 phantom, 114 227 to 115 227 which 116 227 the 117 227 hand 118 227 belonged, 119 227 seemed 120 227 closely 121 227 seated 122 227 by 123 227 my 124 227 bed-side. 125 227 For 126 227 what 127 227 seemed 128 227 ages 129 227 piled 130 227 on 131 227 ages, 132 227 I 133 227 lay 134 227 there, 135 227 frozen 136 227 with 137 227 the 138 227 most 139 227 awful 140 227 fears, 141 227 not 142 227 daring 143 227 to 144 227 drag 145 227 away 146 227 my 147 227 hand; 148 227 yet 149 227 ever 150 227 thinking 151 227 that 152 227 if 153 227 I 154 227 could 155 227 but 156 227 stir 157 227 it 158 227 one 159 227 single 160 227 inch, 161 227 the 162 227 horrid 163 227 spell 164 227 would 165 227 be 166 227 broken. 167 227 I 168 227 knew 169 227 not 170 227 how 171 227 this 172 227 consciousness 173 227 at 174 227 last 175 227 glided 176 227 away 177 227 from 178 227 me; 179 227 but 180 227 waking 181 227 in 182 227 the 183 227 morning, 184 227 I 185 227 shudderingly 186 227 remembered 187 227 it 188 227 all, 189 227 and 190 227 for 191 227 days 192 227 and 193 227 weeks 194 227 and 195 227 months 196 227 afterwards 197 227 I 198 227 lost 199 227 myself 200 227 in 201 227 confounding 202 227 attempts 203 227 to 204 227 explain 205 227 the 206 227 mystery. 207 227 Nay, 208 227 to 209 227 this 210 227 very 211 227 hour, 212 227 I 213 227 often 214 227 puzzle 215 227 myself 216 227 with 217 227 it. 218 227 Now, 219 227 take 220 227 away 221 227 the 222 227 awful 223 227 fear, 224 227 and 225 227 my 226 227 sensations 1 228 at 5 228 feeling 7 228 the 11 228 supernatural 13 228 hand 17 228 in 23 228 mine 25 228 were 29 228 very 31 228 similar, 35 228 in 37 228 their 41 228 strangeness, 43 228 to 47 228 those 49 228 which 53 228 I 55 228 experienced 59 228 on 61 228 waking 65 228 up 67 228 and 71 228 seeing 73 228 Queequeg's 77 228 pagan 79 228 arm 83 228 thrown 85 228 round 89 228 me. 91 228 But 97 228 at 101 228 length 103 228 all 107 228 the 109 228 past 113 228 night's 115 228 events 119 228 soberly 121 228 recurred, 125 228 one 127 228 by 131 228 one, 137 228 in 139 228 fixed 143 228 reality, 145 228 and 149 228 then 151 228 I 155 228 lay 157 228 only 161 228 alive 163 228 to 167 228 the 169 228 comical 173 228 predicament. 175 228 For 179 228 though 181 228 I 185 228 tried 187 228 to 191 228 move 193 228 his 197 228 arm--unlock 199 228 his 203 228 bridegroom 205 228 clasp--yet, 211 228 sleeping 215 228 as 217 228 he 221 228 was, 223 228 he 227 228 still 1 229 hugged 2 229 me 3 229 tightly, 4 229 as 5 229 though 6 229 naught 7 229 but 8 229 death 9 229 should 10 229 part 11 229 us 12 229 twain. 13 229 I 14 229 now 15 229 strove 16 229 to 17 229 rouse 18 229 him--"Queequeg!"--but 19 229 his 20 229 only 21 229 answer 22 229 was 23 229 a 24 229 snore. 25 229 I 26 229 then 27 229 rolled 28 229 over, 29 229 my 30 229 neck 31 229 feeling 32 229 as 33 229 if 34 229 it 35 229 were 36 229 in 37 229 a 38 229 horse-collar; 39 229 and 40 229 suddenly 41 229 felt 42 229 a 43 229 slight 44 229 scratch. 45 229 Throwing 46 229 aside 47 229 the 48 229 counterpane, 49 229 there 50 229 lay 51 229 the 52 229 tomahawk 53 229 sleeping 54 229 by 55 229 the 56 229 savage's 57 229 side, 58 229 as 59 229 if 60 229 it 61 229 were 62 229 a 63 229 hatchet-faced 64 229 baby. 65 229 A 66 229 pretty 67 229 pickle, 68 229 truly, 69 229 thought 70 229 I; 71 229 abed 72 229 here 73 229 in 74 229 a 75 229 strange 76 229 house 77 229 in 78 229 the 79 229 broad 80 229 day, 81 229 with 82 229 a 83 229 cannibal 84 229 and 85 229 a 86 229 tomahawk! 87 229 "Queequeg!--in 88 229 the 89 229 name 90 229 of 91 229 goodness, 92 229 Queequeg, 93 229 wake!" 94 229 At 95 229 length, 96 229 by 97 229 dint 98 229 of 99 229 much 100 229 wriggling, 101 229 and 102 229 loud 103 229 and 104 229 incessant 105 229 expostulations 106 229 upon 107 229 the 108 229 unbecomingness 109 229 of 110 229 his 111 229 hugging 112 229 a 113 229 fellow 114 229 male 115 229 in 116 229 that 117 229 matrimonial 118 229 sort 119 229 of 120 229 style, 121 229 I 122 229 succeeded 123 229 in 124 229 extracting 125 229 a 126 229 grunt; 127 229 and 128 229 presently, 129 229 he 130 229 drew 131 229 back 132 229 his 133 229 arm, 134 229 shook 135 229 himself 136 229 all 137 229 over 138 229 like 139 229 a 140 229 Newfoundland 141 229 dog 142 229 just 143 229 from 144 229 the 145 229 water, 146 229 and 147 229 sat 148 229 up 149 229 in 150 229 bed, 151 229 stiff 152 229 as 153 229 a 154 229 pike-staff, 155 229 looking 156 229 at 157 229 me, 158 229 and 159 229 rubbing 160 229 his 161 229 eyes 162 229 as 163 229 if 164 229 he 165 229 did 166 229 not 167 229 altogether 168 229 remember 169 229 how 170 229 I 171 229 came 172 229 to 173 229 be 174 229 there, 175 229 though 176 229 a 177 229 dim 178 229 consciousness 179 229 of 180 229 knowing 181 229 something 182 229 about 183 229 me 184 229 seemed 185 229 slowly 186 229 dawning 187 229 over 188 229 him. 189 229 Meanwhile, 190 229 I 191 229 lay 192 229 quietly 193 229 eyeing 194 229 him, 195 229 having 196 229 no 197 229 serious 198 229 misgivings 199 229 now, 200 229 and 201 229 bent 202 229 upon 203 229 narrowly 204 229 observing 205 229 so 206 229 curious 207 229 a 208 229 creature. 209 229 When, 210 229 at 211 229 last, 212 229 his 213 229 mind 214 229 seemed 215 229 made 216 229 up 217 229 touching 218 229 the 219 229 character 220 229 of 221 229 his 222 229 bedfellow, 223 229 and 224 229 he 225 229 became, 226 229 as 227 229 it 228 229 were, 1 230 reconciled 3 230 to 7 230 the 9 230 fact; 11 230 he 13 230 jumped 17 230 out 19 230 upon 21 230 the 27 230 floor, 29 230 and 31 230 by 33 230 certain 37 230 signs 39 230 and 41 230 sounds 43 230 gave 47 230 me 49 230 to 51 230 understand 53 230 that, 57 230 if 59 230 it 61 230 pleased 63 230 me, 67 230 he 71 230 would 73 230 dress 77 230 first 79 230 and 81 230 then 83 230 leave 87 230 me 89 230 to 91 230 dress 93 230 afterwards, 97 230 leaving 99 230 the 101 230 whole 103 230 apartment 107 230 to 109 230 myself. 111 230 Thinks 113 230 I, 117 230 Queequeg, 119 230 under 121 230 the 123 230 circumstances, 127 230 this 129 230 is 131 230 a 133 230 very 137 230 civilized 139 230 overture; 141 230 but, 143 230 the 147 230 truth 149 230 is, 151 230 these 153 230 savages 157 230 have 159 230 an 163 230 innate 167 230 sense 169 230 of 171 230 delicacy, 173 230 say 177 230 what 179 230 you 181 230 will; 183 230 it 187 230 is 189 230 marvellous 191 230 how 193 230 essentially 197 230 polite 199 230 they 201 230 are. 203 230 I 209 230 pay 211 230 this 213 230 particular 217 230 compliment 219 230 to 221 230 Queequeg, 223 230 because 227 230 he 229 230 treated 1 231 me 2 231 with 4 231 so 5 231 much 8 231 civility 10 231 and 13 231 consideration, 16 231 while 17 231 I 19 231 was 20 231 guilty 23 231 of 25 231 great 26 231 rudeness; 29 231 staring 31 231 at 32 231 him 34 231 from 37 231 the 38 231 bed, 40 231 and 41 231 watching 43 231 all 46 231 his 47 231 toilette 50 231 motions; 52 231 for 53 231 the 58 231 time 59 231 my 61 231 curiosity 62 231 getting 64 231 the 65 231 better 67 231 of 68 231 my 71 231 breeding. 73 231 Nevertheless, 74 231 a 76 231 man 79 231 like 80 231 Queequeg 82 231 you 83 231 don't 85 231 see 86 231 every 89 231 day, 92 231 he 94 231 and 95 231 his 97 231 ways 100 231 were 101 231 well 103 231 worth 104 231 unusual 106 231 regarding. 107 231 He 109 231 commenced 113 231 dressing 115 231 at 116 231 top 118 231 by 122 231 donning 124 231 his 125 231 beaver 127 231 hat, 128 231 a 130 231 very 131 231 tall 134 231 one, 136 231 by 137 231 the 139 231 by, 142 231 and 145 231 then--still 146 231 minus 148 231 his 149 231 trowsers--he 151 231 hunted 152 231 up 155 231 his 157 231 boots. 158 231 What 160 231 under 163 231 the 164 231 heavens 166 231 he 167 231 did 169 231 it 170 231 for, 172 231 I 173 231 cannot 178 231 tell, 179 231 but 181 231 his 184 231 next 185 231 movement 188 231 was 190 231 to 191 231 crush 193 231 himself--boots 194 231 in 197 231 hand, 199 231 and 200 231 hat 202 231 on--under 205 231 the 206 231 bed; 208 231 when, 211 231 from 212 231 sundry 214 231 violent 215 231 gaspings 218 231 and 221 231 strainings, 223 231 I 226 231 inferred 227 231 he 229 231 was 230 231 hard 1 232 at 3 232 work 5 232 booting 7 232 himself; 9 232 though 11 232 by 13 232 no 15 232 law 17 232 of 19 232 propriety 21 232 that 23 232 I 25 232 ever 27 232 heard 31 232 of, 33 232 is 35 232 any 37 232 man 39 232 required 41 232 to 43 232 be 45 232 private 47 232 when 49 232 putting 51 232 on 53 232 his 55 232 boots. 57 232 But 59 232 Queequeg, 61 232 do 63 232 you 65 232 see, 67 232 was 69 232 a 71 232 creature 73 232 in 75 232 the 77 232 transition 79 232 stage--neither 81 232 caterpillar 83 232 nor 85 232 butterfly. 89 232 He 91 232 was 93 232 just 95 232 enough 97 232 civilized 99 232 to 101 232 show 103 232 off 105 232 his 107 232 outlandishness 109 232 in 111 232 the 113 232 strangest 115 232 possible 117 232 manners. 119 232 His 121 232 education 123 232 was 125 232 not 127 232 yet 129 232 completed. 131 232 He 133 232 was 135 232 an 137 232 undergraduate. 139 232 If 141 232 he 143 232 had 147 232 not 149 232 been 151 232 a 153 232 small 155 232 degree 157 232 civilized, 159 232 he 161 232 very 163 232 probably 165 232 would 167 232 not 169 232 have 171 232 troubled 173 232 himself 175 232 with 177 232 boots 179 232 at 181 232 all; 183 232 but 185 232 then, 187 232 if 189 232 he 191 232 had 193 232 not 195 232 been 197 232 still 199 232 a 201 232 savage, 205 232 he 207 232 never 209 232 would 211 232 have 213 232 dreamt 215 232 of 217 232 getting 219 232 under 221 232 the 223 232 bed 225 232 to 227 232 put 229 232 them 231 232 on. 1 233 At 2 233 last, 3 233 he 4 233 emerged 5 233 with 6 233 his 7 233 hat 8 233 very 9 233 much 10 233 dented 11 233 and 12 233 crushed 13 233 down 14 233 over 15 233 his 16 233 eyes, 17 233 and 18 233 began 19 233 creaking 20 233 and 21 233 limping 22 233 about 23 233 the 24 233 room, 25 233 as 26 233 if, 27 233 not 28 233 being 29 233 much 30 233 accustomed 31 233 to 32 233 boots, 33 233 his 34 233 pair 35 233 of 36 233 damp, 37 233 wrinkled 38 233 cowhide 39 233 ones--probably 40 233 not 41 233 made 42 233 to 43 233 order 44 233 either--rather 45 233 pinched 46 233 and 47 233 tormented 48 233 him 49 233 at 50 233 the 51 233 first 52 233 go 53 233 off 54 233 of 55 233 a 56 233 bitter 57 233 cold 58 233 morning. 59 233 Seeing, 60 233 now, 61 233 that 62 233 there 63 233 were 64 233 no 65 233 curtains 66 233 to 67 233 the 68 233 window, 69 233 and 70 233 that 71 233 the 72 233 street 73 233 being 74 233 very 75 233 narrow, 76 233 the 77 233 house 78 233 opposite 79 233 commanded 80 233 a 81 233 plain 82 233 view 83 233 into 84 233 the 85 233 room, 86 233 and 87 233 observing 88 233 more 89 233 and 90 233 more 91 233 the 92 233 indecorous 93 233 figure 94 233 that 95 233 Queequeg 96 233 made, 97 233 staving 98 233 about 99 233 with 100 233 little 101 233 else 102 233 but 103 233 his 104 233 hat 105 233 and 106 233 boots 107 233 on; 108 233 I 109 233 begged 110 233 him 111 233 as 112 233 well 113 233 as 114 233 I 115 233 could, 116 233 to 117 233 accelerate 118 233 his 119 233 toilet 120 233 somewhat, 121 233 and 122 233 particularly 123 233 to 124 233 get 125 233 into 126 233 his 127 233 pantaloons 128 233 as 129 233 soon 130 233 as 131 233 possible. 132 233 He 133 233 complied, 134 233 and 135 233 then 136 233 proceeded 137 233 to 138 233 wash 139 233 himself. 140 233 At 141 233 that 142 233 time 143 233 in 144 233 the 145 233 morning 146 233 any 147 233 Christian 148 233 would 149 233 have 150 233 washed 151 233 his 152 233 face; 153 233 but 154 233 Queequeg, 155 233 to 156 233 my 157 233 amazement, 158 233 contented 159 233 himself 160 233 with 161 233 restricting 162 233 his 163 233 ablutions 164 233 to 165 233 his 166 233 chest, 167 233 arms, 168 233 and 169 233 hands. 170 233 He 171 233 then 172 233 donned 173 233 his 174 233 waistcoat, 175 233 and 176 233 taking 177 233 up 178 233 a 179 233 piece 180 233 of 181 233 hard 182 233 soap 183 233 on 184 233 the 185 233 wash-stand 186 233 centre 187 233 table, 188 233 dipped 189 233 it 190 233 into 191 233 water 192 233 and 193 233 commenced 194 233 lathering 195 233 his 196 233 face. 197 233 I 198 233 was 199 233 watching 200 233 to 201 233 see 202 233 where 203 233 he 204 233 kept 205 233 his 206 233 razor, 207 233 when 208 233 lo 209 233 and 210 233 behold, 211 233 he 212 233 takes 213 233 the 214 233 harpoon 215 233 from 216 233 the 217 233 bed 218 233 corner, 219 233 slips 220 233 out 221 233 the 222 233 long 223 233 wooden 224 233 stock, 225 233 unsheathes 226 233 the 227 233 head, 228 233 whets 229 233 it 230 233 a 231 233 little 232 233 on 1 234 his 5 234 boot, 7 234 and 11 234 striding 17 234 up 19 234 to 23 234 the 25 234 bit 29 234 of 31 234 mirror 35 234 against 37 234 the 41 234 wall, 43 234 begins 47 234 a 49 234 vigorous 53 234 scraping, 55 234 or 59 234 rather 61 234 harpooning 67 234 of 71 234 his 73 234 cheeks. 77 234 Thinks 79 234 I, 83 234 Queequeg, 85 234 this 89 234 is 95 234 using 97 234 Rogers's 101 234 best 103 234 cutlery 107 234 with 109 234 a 113 234 vengeance. 115 234 Afterwards 119 234 I 121 234 wondered 125 234 the 127 234 less 131 234 at 133 234 this 137 234 operation 139 234 when 145 234 I 149 234 came 151 234 to 155 234 know 157 234 of 161 234 what 163 234 fine 167 234 steel 173 234 the 175 234 head 179 234 of 181 234 a 185 234 harpoon 187 234 is 191 234 made, 193 234 and 197 234 how 199 234 exceedingly 203 234 sharp 205 234 the 209 234 long 211 234 straight 215 234 edges 217 234 are 223 234 always 227 234 kept. 229 234 The 233 234 rest 1 235 of 2 235 his 3 235 toilet 4 235 was 6 235 soon 7 235 achieved, 8 235 and 9 235 he 11 235 proudly 12 235 marched 13 235 out 14 235 of 16 235 the 17 235 room, 18 235 wrapped 19 235 up 21 235 in 22 235 his 23 235 great 24 235 pilot 26 235 monkey 27 235 jacket, 28 235 and 29 235 sporting 31 235 his 32 235 harpoon 33 235 like 34 235 a 36 235 marshal's 37 235 baton. 38 235 CHAPTER 39 235 5 41 235 Breakfast. 42 235 I 43 235 quickly 44 235 followed 46 235 suit, 48 235 and 49 235 descending 51 235 into 52 235 the 53 235 bar-room 54 235 accosted 56 235 the 57 235 grinning 58 235 landlord 59 235 very 61 235 pleasantly. 62 235 I 63 235 cherished 64 235 no 66 235 malice 67 235 towards 68 235 him, 69 235 though 71 235 he 72 235 had 73 235 been 74 235 skylarking 76 235 with 77 235 me 78 235 not 79 235 a 81 235 little 82 235 in 83 235 the 84 235 matter 86 235 of 87 235 my 88 235 bedfellow. 89 235 However, 91 235 a 92 235 good 93 235 laugh 96 235 is 97 235 a 98 235 mighty 99 235 good 101 235 thing, 102 235 and 103 235 rather 104 235 too 106 235 scarce 107 235 a 108 235 good 109 235 thing; 111 235 the 112 235 more's 113 235 the 114 235 pity. 116 235 So, 117 235 if 118 235 any 119 235 one 121 235 man, 122 235 in 123 235 his 124 235 own 126 235 proper 127 235 person, 128 235 afford 129 235 stuff 131 235 for 132 235 a 133 235 good 134 235 joke 136 235 to 137 235 anybody, 138 235 let 139 235 him 142 235 not 143 235 be 144 235 backward, 146 235 but 147 235 let 148 235 him 149 235 cheerfully 151 235 allow 152 235 himself 153 235 to 154 235 spend 156 235 and 157 235 be 158 235 spent 159 235 in 161 235 that 162 235 way. 163 235 And 164 235 the 166 235 man 167 235 that 168 235 has 169 235 anything 171 235 bountifully 172 235 laughable 173 235 about 174 235 him, 176 235 be 177 235 sure 178 235 there 179 235 is 181 235 more 182 235 in 183 235 that 184 235 man 186 235 than 187 235 you 189 235 perhaps 191 235 think 192 235 for. 193 235 The 194 235 bar-room 196 235 was 197 235 now 198 235 full 199 235 of 201 235 the 202 235 boarders 203 235 who 204 235 had 206 235 been 207 235 dropping 208 235 in 209 235 the 211 235 night 212 235 previous, 213 235 and 214 235 whom 216 235 I 217 235 had 218 235 not 219 235 as 221 235 yet 222 235 had 223 235 a 224 235 good 226 235 look 227 235 at. 228 235 They 229 235 were 231 235 nearly 232 235 all 233 235 whalemen; 234 235 chief 1 236 mates, 3 236 and 5 236 second 7 236 mates, 9 236 and 11 236 third 13 236 mates, 15 236 and 17 236 sea 19 236 carpenters, 21 236 and 23 236 sea 25 236 coopers, 27 236 and 29 236 sea 31 236 blacksmiths, 33 236 and 35 236 harpooneers, 37 236 and 39 236 ship 41 236 keepers; 43 236 a 45 236 brown 47 236 and 49 236 brawny 51 236 company, 53 236 with 55 236 bosky 57 236 beards; 61 236 an 63 236 unshorn, 65 236 shaggy 67 236 set, 69 236 all 71 236 wearing 73 236 monkey 75 236 jackets 77 236 for 79 236 morning 81 236 gowns. 83 236 You 85 236 could 87 236 pretty 89 236 plainly 91 236 tell 93 236 how 95 236 long 97 236 each 99 236 one 101 236 had 103 236 been 105 236 ashore. 107 236 This 109 236 young 111 236 fellow's 113 236 healthy 115 236 cheek 117 236 is 119 236 like 121 236 a 123 236 sun-toasted 125 236 pear 127 236 in 129 236 hue, 131 236 and 133 236 would 135 236 seem 137 236 to 139 236 smell 141 236 almost 143 236 as 145 236 musky; 147 236 he 149 236 cannot 151 236 have 153 236 been 155 236 three 157 236 days 159 236 landed 161 236 from 163 236 his 165 236 Indian 167 236 voyage. 169 236 That 171 236 man 173 236 next 175 236 him 179 236 looks 181 236 a 183 236 few 185 236 shades 187 236 lighter; 189 236 you 191 236 might 193 236 say 195 236 a 197 236 touch 199 236 of 201 236 satin 203 236 wood 205 236 is 207 236 in 209 236 him. 211 236 In 213 236 the 215 236 complexion 217 236 of 219 236 a 221 236 third 223 236 still 225 236 lingers 227 236 a 229 236 tropic 231 236 tawn, 233 236 but 235 236 slightly 1 237 bleached 2 237 withal; 4 237 HE 5 237 doubtless 7 237 has 8 237 tarried 10 237 whole 11 237 weeks 13 237 ashore. 14 237 But 16 237 who 17 237 could 19 237 show 20 237 a 22 237 cheek 23 237 like 25 237 Queequeg? 26 237 which, 28 237 barred 29 237 with 31 237 various 32 237 tints, 34 237 seemed 35 237 like 37 237 the 38 237 Andes' 40 237 western 41 237 slope, 43 237 to 44 237 show 46 237 forth 47 237 in 49 237 one 50 237 array, 52 237 contrasting 53 237 climates, 55 237 zone 56 237 by 58 237 zone. 59 237 "Grub, 61 237 ho!" 62 237 now 64 237 cried 65 237 the 67 237 landlord, 68 237 flinging 70 237 open 71 237 a 73 237 door, 74 237 and 76 237 in 77 237 we 80 237 went 82 237 to 83 237 breakfast. 85 237 They 86 237 say 88 237 that 89 237 men 91 237 who 92 237 have 94 237 seen 95 237 the 97 237 world, 98 237 thereby 100 237 become 101 237 quite 103 237 at 104 237 ease 106 237 in 107 237 manner, 109 237 quite 110 237 self-possessed 112 237 in 113 237 company. 115 237 Not 116 237 always, 118 237 though: 119 237 Ledyard, 121 237 the 122 237 great 124 237 New 125 237 England 127 237 traveller, 128 237 and 130 237 Mungo 131 237 Park, 133 237 the 134 237 Scotch 136 237 one; 137 237 of 139 237 all 140 237 men, 142 237 they 143 237 possessed 145 237 the 146 237 least 148 237 assurance 149 237 in 151 237 the 152 237 parlor. 154 237 But 155 237 perhaps 157 237 the 160 237 mere 161 237 crossing 163 237 of 164 237 Siberia 166 237 in 167 237 a 169 237 sledge 170 237 drawn 172 237 by 173 237 dogs 175 237 as 176 237 Ledyard 178 237 did, 179 237 or 181 237 the 182 237 taking 184 237 a 185 237 long 187 237 solitary 188 237 walk 190 237 on 191 237 an 193 237 empty 194 237 stomach, 196 237 in 197 237 the 199 237 negro 200 237 heart 202 237 of 203 237 Africa, 205 237 which 206 237 was 208 237 the 209 237 sum 211 237 of 212 237 poor 214 237 Mungo's 215 237 performances--this 217 237 kind 218 237 of 220 237 travel, 221 237 I 223 237 say, 224 237 may 226 237 not 227 237 be 229 237 the 230 237 very 232 237 best 233 237 mode 235 237 of 236 237 attaining 1 238 a 3 238 high 5 238 social 9 238 polish. 11 238 Still, 13 238 for 15 238 the 19 238 most 23 238 part, 25 238 that 27 238 sort 29 238 of 31 238 thing 33 238 is 37 238 to 39 238 be 41 238 had 43 238 anywhere. 45 238 These 47 238 reflections 53 238 just 55 238 here 57 238 are 59 238 occasioned 61 238 by 65 238 the 67 238 circumstance 69 238 that 71 238 after 73 238 we 75 238 were 79 238 all 81 238 seated 83 238 at 87 238 the 89 238 table, 93 238 and 95 238 I 97 238 was 99 238 preparing 101 238 to 103 238 hear 107 238 some 109 238 good 111 238 stories 113 238 about 115 238 whaling; 117 238 to 121 238 my 123 238 no 125 238 small 127 238 surprise, 129 238 nearly 131 238 every 135 238 man 137 238 maintained 139 238 a 141 238 profound 143 238 silence. 145 238 And 149 238 not 151 238 only 155 238 that, 157 238 but 159 238 they 163 238 looked 165 238 embarrassed. 167 238 Yes, 169 238 here 171 238 were 173 238 a 177 238 set 179 238 of 181 238 sea-dogs, 183 238 many 185 238 of 191 238 whom 193 238 without 195 238 the 197 238 slightest 199 238 bashfulness 201 238 had 205 238 boarded 207 238 great 209 238 whales 211 238 on 213 238 the 215 238 high 219 238 seas--entire 223 238 strangers 225 238 to 227 238 them--and 229 238 duelled 233 238 them 235 238 dead 237 238 without 1 239 winking; 2 239 and 3 239 yet, 4 239 here 5 239 they 6 239 sat 7 239 at 8 239 a 9 239 social 10 239 breakfast 11 239 table--all 12 239 of 13 239 the 14 239 same 15 239 calling, 16 239 all 17 239 of 18 239 kindred 19 239 tastes--looking 20 239 round 21 239 as 22 239 sheepishly 23 239 at 24 239 each 25 239 other 26 239 as 27 239 though 28 239 they 29 239 had 30 239 never 31 239 been 32 239 out 33 239 of 34 239 sight 35 239 of 36 239 some 37 239 sheepfold 38 239 among 39 239 the 40 239 Green 41 239 Mountains. 42 239 A 43 239 curious 44 239 sight; 45 239 these 46 239 bashful 47 239 bears, 48 239 these 49 239 timid 50 239 warrior 51 239 whalemen! 52 239 But 53 239 as 54 239 for 55 239 Queequeg--why, 56 239 Queequeg 57 239 sat 58 239 there 59 239 among 60 239 them--at 61 239 the 62 239 head 63 239 of 64 239 the 65 239 table, 66 239 too, 67 239 it 68 239 so 69 239 chanced; 70 239 as 71 239 cool 72 239 as 73 239 an 74 239 icicle. 75 239 To 76 239 be 77 239 sure 78 239 I 79 239 cannot 80 239 say 81 239 much 82 239 for 83 239 his 84 239 breeding. 85 239 His 86 239 greatest 87 239 admirer 88 239 could 89 239 not 90 239 have 91 239 cordially 92 239 justified 93 239 his 94 239 bringing 95 239 his 96 239 harpoon 97 239 into 98 239 breakfast 99 239 with 100 239 him, 101 239 and 102 239 using 103 239 it 104 239 there 105 239 without 106 239 ceremony; 107 239 reaching 108 239 over 109 239 the 110 239 table 111 239 with 112 239 it, 113 239 to 114 239 the 115 239 imminent 116 239 jeopardy 117 239 of 118 239 many 119 239 heads, 120 239 and 121 239 grappling 122 239 the 123 239 beefsteaks 124 239 towards 125 239 him. 126 239 But 127 239 THAT 128 239 was 129 239 certainly 130 239 very 131 239 coolly 132 239 done 133 239 by 134 239 him, 135 239 and 136 239 every 137 239 one 138 239 knows 139 239 that 140 239 in 141 239 most 142 239 people's 143 239 estimation, 144 239 to 145 239 do 146 239 anything 147 239 coolly 148 239 is 149 239 to 150 239 do 151 239 it 152 239 genteelly. 153 239 We 154 239 will 155 239 not 156 239 speak 157 239 of 158 239 all 159 239 Queequeg's 160 239 peculiarities 161 239 here; 162 239 how 163 239 he 164 239 eschewed 165 239 coffee 166 239 and 167 239 hot 168 239 rolls, 169 239 and 170 239 applied 171 239 his 172 239 undivided 173 239 attention 174 239 to 175 239 beefsteaks, 176 239 done 177 239 rare. 178 239 Enough, 179 239 that 180 239 when 181 239 breakfast 182 239 was 183 239 over 184 239 he 185 239 withdrew 186 239 like 187 239 the 188 239 rest 189 239 into 190 239 the 191 239 public 192 239 room, 193 239 lighted 194 239 his 195 239 tomahawk-pipe, 196 239 and 197 239 was 198 239 sitting 199 239 there 200 239 quietly 201 239 digesting 202 239 and 203 239 smoking 204 239 with 205 239 his 206 239 inseparable 207 239 hat 208 239 on, 209 239 when 210 239 I 211 239 sallied 212 239 out 213 239 for 214 239 a 215 239 stroll. 216 239 CHAPTER 217 239 6 218 239 The 219 239 Street. 220 239 If 221 239 I 222 239 had 223 239 been 224 239 astonished 225 239 at 226 239 first 227 239 catching 228 239 a 229

a 19 240 civilized 23 240 town, 29 240 that 31 240 astonishment 37 240 soon 41 240 departed 43 240 upon 47 240 taking 49 240 my 53 240 first 59 240 daylight 61 240 stroll 67 240 through 71 240 the 73 240 streets 77 240 of 79 240 New 83 240 Bedford. 89 240 In 91 240 thoroughfares 97 240 nigh 101 240 the 103 240 docks, 107 240 any 109 240 considerable 113 240 seaport 119 240 will 121 240 frequently

179 240 Chestnut 181 240 streets, 187 240 Mediterranean 191 240 mariners 193 240 will 197 240 sometimes 199 240 jostle 203 240 the 209 240 affrighted 211 240 ladies. 217 240 Regent 221 240 Street 223

241 last-mentioned 29 241 haunts 30 241 you 31 241 see 32 241 only 33 241 sailors; 34 241 but 35 241 in 36 241 New 37 241 Bedford, 38 241 actual 39 241 cannibals 40 241 stand 41 241 chatting 42 241 at

makes 59 241 a 60 241 stranger 61 241 stare. 62 241 But, 63 241 besides 64 241 the 65 241 Feegeeans, 66 241 Tongatobooarrs, 67 241 Erromanggoans, 68 241 Pannangians, 69 241 and 70 241 Brighggians, 71 241 and, 72 241 besides 73 241 the 74 241 wild 75 241 specimens 76 241 of 77 241 the 78 241 whaling-craft 79 241 which 80 241 unheeded 81 241 reel 82 241 about 83 241 the 84 241 streets, 85 241 you 86 241 will 87 241 see 88 241 other 89 241 sights 90 241 still 91 241 more 92 241 curious, 93 241 certainly 94 241 more 95 241 comical. 96 241 There 97 241 weekly 98 241 arrive 99 241 in 100 241 this 101 241 town 102 241 scores 103 241 of 104 241 green 105 241 Vermonters 106 241 and 107 241 New 108 241 Hampshire 109 241 men, 110 241 all 111 241 athirst 112 241 for 113 241 gain 114 241 and 115 241

them 160 241 but 161 241 a 162 241 few 163 241 hours 164 241 old. 165 241 Look 166 241 there! 167 241 that 168 241 chap 169 241 strutting 170 241 round 171 241 the 172 241 corner. 173 241 He 174 241

202 241 with 203 241 a 204 241 country-bred 205 241 one--I 206 241 mean 207 241 a 208 241 downright 209 241 bumpkin 210 241 dandy--a 211 241 fellow 212 241 that, 213 241 in 214 241 the 215 241

241 Now 231 241 when 232 241 a 233 241 country 234 241 dandy 235 241 like 236 241 this 237 241 takes 238 241 it 239 241 into 240 241 his 1 242 head 3 242 to 5 242 make 7 242 a 9 242 distinguished 13

242 reaching 47 242 the 49 242 seaport. 51 242 In 53 242 bespeaking 57 242 his 59 242 sea-outfit, 61 242 he 63 242 orders 65 242 bell-buttons 67 242 to 69 242 his 71 242 waistcoats; 73 242 straps 75 242 to 79 242 his 81 242 canvas 83 242 trowsers. 85 242 Ah, 87 242 poor 89 242 Hay-Seed! 91 242 how 93 242 bitterly 95 242 will 97 242 burst 101 242 those 103 242 straps 105 242 in 107 242 the 109 242 first 111 242 howling 113 242 gale, 115 242 when 117 242 thou 119 242 art 123 242 driven, 125 242 straps, 127 242 buttons, 129 242 and 131 242 all, 133 242 down 135 242 the 137 242 throat 139 242 of 141 242 the 145 242 tempest. 147 242 But 149 242 think 151 242 not 153 242 that 155 242 this 157 242 famous 159 242 town 161 242 has 163 242 only 167 242 harpooneers, 169 242 cannibals, 171 242 and 173 242 bumpkins 175 242 to 177 242 show 179 242 her 181 242 visitors. 183 242 Not 185 242 at 189 242 all. 191 242 Still 193 242 New 195 242 Bedford 197 242 is 199 242 a 201 242 queer 203 242 place. 205 242 Had 207 242 it 211 242 not 213 242 been 215 242 for 217 242 us 219 242 whalemen, 221 242 that 223 242 tract 225 242 of 227 242 land 229 242 would 233 242 this 235 242 day 237 242 perhaps 239 242 have 241 242 been 1 243 in 2 243 as 4 243 howling 5 243 condition 7 243 as 8 243 the 10 243 coast 11 243 of 13 243 Labrador. 14 243 As 16 243 it 17 243 is, 19 243 parts 20 243 of 22 243 her 23 243 back 25 243 country 26 243 are 28 243 enough 29 243 to 31 243 frighten 32 243 one, 34 243 they 35 243 look 37 243 so 38 243 bony. 40 243 The 41 243 town 43 243 itself 44 243 is 46 243 perhaps 47 243 the 49 243 dearest 50 243 place 52 243 to 53 243 live 55 243 in, 56 243 in 58 243 all 59 243 New 61 243 England. 62 243 It 64 243 is 65 243 a 67 243 land 68 243 of 70 243 oil, 71 243 true 73 243 enough: 74 243 but 76 243 not 77 243 like 79 243 Canaan; 80 243 a 82 243 land, 83 243 also, 85 243 of 86 243 corn 88 243 and 89 243 wine. 91 243 The 92 243 streets 94 243 do 95 243 not 97 243 run 98 243 with 100 243 milk; 101 243 nor 103 243 in 104 243 the 106 243 spring-time 107 243 do 109 243 they 110 243 pave 112 243 them 113 243 with 115 243 fresh 116 243 eggs. 118 243 Yet, 119 243 in 121 243 spite 122 243 of 124 243 this, 125 243 nowhere 127 243 in 128 243 all 130 243 America 131 243 will 133 243 you 134 243 find 136 243 more 137 243 patrician-like 139 243 houses; 140 243 parks 142 243

1 246 shaggy 5 246 jacket 7 246 of 11 246 the 13 246 cloth 17 246 called 19 246 bearskin, 23 246 I 25 246 fought 29 246 my 31 246 way 35 246 against 37 246 the 43 246 stubborn 47 246 storm. 49 246 Entering, 53 246 I 55 246 found 59 246 a 61 246 small 65 246 scattered 67 246 congregation 71 246 of 73 246 sailors, 77 246 and 79 246 sailors' 83 246 wives 85 246 and 89 246 widows. 91 246 A 95 246 muffled 97 246 silence 101 246 reigned, 103 246 only 107 246 broken 109 246 at 113 246 times 115 246 by 119 246 the 121 246 shrieks 125 246 of 127 246 the 131 246 storm. 133 246 Each 137 246 silent 139 246 worshipper 143 246 seemed 145 246 purposely 149 246 sitting 151 246 apart 155 246 from 157 246 the 161 246 other, 163 246 as 167 246 if 169 246 each 173 246 silent 175 246 grief 179 246 were 181 246 insular 185 246 and 187 246 incommunicable. 191 246 The 193 246 chaplain 197 246 had 199 246 not 203 246 yet 209 246 arrived; 211 246 and 215 246 there 217 246 these 221 246 silent 223 246 islands 227 246 of 229 246 men 233 246 and 235 246 women 239 246 sat 241 246 steadfastly 245 246 eyeing 1 247 several 2 247 marble 3 247 tablets, 4 247 with 5 247 black 6 247 borders, 7 247 masoned 8 247 into 9 247 the 10 247 wall 11 247 on 12 247 either 14 247 side 15 247 the 16 247 pulpit. 17 247 Three 18 247 of 20 247 them 21 247 ran 22 247 something 23 247 like 24 247 the 25 247 following, 27 247 but 28 247 I 29 247 do 30 247 not 31 247 pretend 32 247 to 33 247 quote:-- 34 247 SACRED 35 247 TO 36 247 THE 37 247 MEMORY 40 247 OF 41 247 JOHN 42 247 TALBOT, 43 247 Who, 44 247 at 45 247 the 46

184 247 his 185 247 Memory 186 247 BY 187 247 HIS 188 247 WIDOW. 189 247 Shaking 191 247 off 192 247 the 193 247 sleet 194 247 from 196 247 my 197 247 ice-glazed 198 247 hat 199 247 and 200 247 jacket, 201 247 I 202 247 seated 203 247 myself 204 247 near 205 247 the 206 247 door, 207 247 and 210 247 turning 211 247 sideways 212 247 was 213 247 surprised 214 247 to 215 247 see 216 247 Queequeg 217 247 near 218 247 me. 219 247 Affected 220 247 by 222 247 the 223 247 solemnity 224 247 of 225 247 the 226 247 scene, 227 247 there 229 247 was 230 247 a 231 247 wondering 232 247 gaze 233 247 of 235 247 incredulous 236 247 curiosity 237 247 in 238 247 his 239 247 countenance. 240 247 This 241 247 savage 242 247 was 243 247 the 244 247 only 245 247 person 246 247 present 1 248 who 3 248 seemed 5 248 to 7 248 notice 9 248 my 11 248 entrance; 13 248 because 15 248 he 17 248 was 19 248 the 21 248 only 23 248 one 25 248 who 27 248 could 29 248 not 33 248 read, 35 248 and, 37 248 therefore, 39 248 was 41 248 not 43 248 reading 45 248 those 47 248 frigid 49 248 inscriptions 51 248 on 53 248 the 55 248 wall. 57 248 Whether 59 248 any 61 248 of 63 248 the 65 248 relatives 67 248 of 69 248 the 71 248 seamen 73 248 whose 75 248 names 77 248 appeared 79 248 there 81 248 were 83 248 now 85 248 among 87 248 the 89 248 congregation, 91 248 I 95 248 knew 97 248 not; 99 248 but 101 248 so 103 248 many 105 248 are 107 248 the 109 248 unrecorded 111 248 accidents 113 248 in 115 248 the 117 248 fishery, 119 248 and 121 248 so 123 248 plainly 125 248 did 127 248 several 129 248 women 131 248 present 133 248 wear 135 248 the 137 248 countenance 139 248 if 141 248 not 143 248 the 145 248 trappings 147 248 of 149 248 some 151 248 unceasing 153 248 grief, 157 248 that 159 248 I 161 248 feel 163 248 sure 165 248 that 167 248 here 169 248 before 171 248 me 173 248 were 175 248 assembled 177 248 those, 179 248 in 181 248 whose 183 248 unhealing 185 248 hearts 187 248 the 189 248 sight 191 248 of 193 248 those 195 248 bleak 197 248 tablets 199 248 sympathetically 201 248 caused 203 248 the 205 248 old 207 248 wounds 209 248 to 211 248 bleed 213 248 afresh. 215 248 Oh! 219 248 ye 221 248 whose 223 248 dead 225 248 lie 227 248 buried 229 248 beneath 231 248 the 233 248 green 235 248 grass; 237 248 who 239 248 standing 241 248 among 243 248 flowers 245 248 can 247 248 say--here, 1 249 HERE 2 249 lies 4 249 my 5 249 beloved; 7 249 ye 8 249 know 10 249 not 11 249 the 13 249 desolation 14 249 that 16 249 broods 17 249 in 19 249 bosoms 20 249 like 22 249 these. 23 249 What 25 249 bitter 26 249 blanks 28 249 in 29 249 those 31 249 black-bordered 32 249 marbles 34 249 which 35 249 cover 37 249 no 38 249 ashes! 40 249 What 41 249 despair 43 249 in 44 249 those 46 249 immovable 47 249 inscriptions! 49 249 What 50 249 deadly 52 249 voids 53 249 and 55 249 unbidden 56 249 infidelities 58 249 in 59 249 the 61 249 lines 62 249 that 64 249 seem 65 249 to 67 249 gnaw 68 249 upon 70 249 all 71 249 Faith, 73 249 and 74 249 refuse 76 249 resurrections 77 249 to 79 249 the 80 249 beings 82 249 who 85 249 have 86 249 placelessly 88 249 perished 89 249 without 91 249 a 92 249 grave. 94 249 As 95 249 well 97 249 might 98 249 those 100 249 tablets 101 249 stand 103 249 in 104 249 the 106 249 cave 107 249 of 109 249 Elephanta 110 249 as 112 249 here. 113 249 In 115 249 what 116 249 census 118 249 of 119 249 living 121 249 creatures, 122 249 the 124 249 dead 125 249 of 127 249 mankind 128 249 are 130 249 included; 131 249 why 133 249 it 134 249 is 136 249 that 137 249 a 139 249 universal 140 249 proverb 142 249 says 143 249 of 145 249 them, 146 249 that 148 249 they 149 249 tell 151 249 no 152 249 tales, 154 249 though 155 249 containing 157 249 more 158 249 secrets 160 249 than 161 249 the 163 249 Goodwin 164 249 Sands; 167 249 how 169 249 it 170 249 is 172 249 that 173 249 to 175 249 his 176 249 name 178 249 who 179 249 yesterday 181 249 departed 182 249 for 184 249 the 185 249 other 187 249 world, 188 249 we 190 249 prefix 191 249 so 193 249 significant 194 249 and 196 249 infidel 197 249 a 199 249 word, 200 249 and 202 249 yet 203 249 do 205 249 not 206 249 thus 208 249 entitle 209 249 him, 211 249 if 212 249 he 214 249 but 215 249 embarks 217 249 for 218 249 the 220 249 remotest 221 249 Indies 223 249 of 224 249 this 226 249 living 227 249 earth; 229 249 why 230 249 the 232 249 Life 233 249 Insurance 235 249 Companies 236 249 pay 238 249 death-forfeitures 239 249 upon 241 249 immortals; 242 249 in 244 249 what 245 249 eternal, 247 249 unstirring 248 249 paralysis, 1 250 and 3 250 deadly, 7 250 hopeless 9 250 trance, 11 250 yet 13 250 lies 17 250 antique 19 250 Adam 21 250 who 23 250 died 27 250 sixty 29 250 round 31 250 centuries 33 250 ago; 37 250 how 39 250 it 41 250 is 43 250 that 47 250 we 49 250 still 51 250 refuse 53 250 to 57 250 be 59 250 comforted 61 250 for 63 250 those 67 250 who 69 250 we 71 250 nevertheless 73 250 maintain 77 250 are 79 250 dwelling 81 250 in 83 250 unspeakable 87 250 bliss; 89 250 why 91 250 all 93 250 the 97 250 living 99 250 so 101 250 strive 103 250 to 107 250 hush 109 250 all 111 250 the 113 250 dead; 117 250 wherefore 119 250 but 121 250 the 123 250 rumor 127 250 of 129 250 a 131 250 knocking 133 250 in 137 250 a 139 250 tomb 141 250 will 143 250 terrify 147 250 a 149 250 whole 151 250 city. 153 250 All 157 250 these 159 250 things 161 250 are 163 250 not 167 250 without 169 250 their 171 250 meanings. 173 250 But 177 250 Faith, 179 250 like 181 250 a 183 250 jackal, 187 250 feeds 189 250 among 191 250 the 193 250 tombs, 197 250 and 199 250 even 201 250 from 203 250 these 207 250 dead 209 250 doubts 211 250 she 213 250 gathers 217 250 her 219 250 most 221 250 vital 223 250 hope. 227 250 It 229 250 needs 231 250 scarcely 233 250 to 237 250 be 239 250 told, 241 250 with 243 250 what 247 250 feelings, 249 250 on 1 251 the 2 251 eve 3 251 of 4 251 a 5 251 Nantucket 6 251 voyage, 7 251 I 8 251 regarded 9 251 those 10 251 marble 11 251 tablets, 12 251 and 13 251 by 14 251 the 15 251 murky 16 251 light 17 251 of 18 251 that 19 251 darkened, 20 251 doleful 21 251 day 22 251 read 23 251 the 24 251 fate 25 251 of 26 251 the 27 251 whalemen 28 251 who 29 251 had 30 251 gone 31 251 before 32 251 me. 33 251 Yes, 34 251 Ishmael, 35 251 the 36 251 same 37 251 fate 38 251 may 39 251 be 40 251 thine. 41 251 But 42 251 somehow 43 251 I 44 251 grew 45 251 merry 46 251 again. 47 251 Delightful 48 251 inducements 49 251 to 50 251 embark, 51 251 fine 52 251 chance 53 251 for 54 251 promotion, 55 251 it 56 251 seems--aye, 57 251 a 58 251 stove 59 251 boat 60 251 will 61 251 make 62 251 me 63 251 an 64 251 immortal 65 251 by 66 251 brevet. 67 251 Yes, 68 251 there 69 251 is 70 251 death 71 251 in 72 251 this 73 251 business 74 251 of 75 251 whaling--a 76 251 speechlessly 77 251 quick 78 251 chaotic 79 251 bundling 80 251 of 81 251 a 82 251 man 83 251 into 84 251 Eternity. 85 251 But 86 251 what 87 251 then? 88 251 Methinks 89 251 we 90 251 have 91 251 hugely 92 251 mistaken 93 251 this 94 251 matter 95 251 of 96 251 Life 97 251 and 98 251 Death. 99 251 Methinks 100 251 that 101 251 what 102 251 they 103 251 call 104 251 my 105 251 shadow 106 251 here 107 251 on 108 251 earth 109 251 is 110 251 my 111 251 true 112 251 substance. 113 251 Methinks 114 251 that 115 251 in 116 251 looking 117 251 at 118 251 things 119 251 spiritual, 120 251 we 121 251 are 122 251 too 123 251 much 124 251 like 125 251 oysters 126 251 observing 127 251 the 128 251 sun 129 251 through 130 251 the 131 251 water, 132 251 and 133 251 thinking 134 251 that 135 251 thick 136 251 water 137 251 the 138 251 thinnest 139 251 of 140 251 air. 141 251 Methinks 142 251 my 143 251 body 144 251 is 145 251 but 146 251 the 147 251 lees 148 251 of 149 251 my 150 251 better 151 251 being. 152 251 In 153 251 fact 154 251 take 155 251 my 156 251 body 157 251 who 158 251 will, 159 251 take 160 251 it 161 251 I 162 251 say, 163 251 it 164 251 is 165 251 not 166 251 me. 167 251 And 168 251 therefore 169 251 three 170 251 cheers 171 251 for 172 251 Nantucket; 173 251 and 174 251 come 175 251 a 176 251 stove 177 251 boat 178 251 and 179 251 stove 180 251 body 181 251 when 182 251 they 183 251 will, 184 251 for 185 251 stave 186 251 my 187 251 soul, 188 251 Jove 189 251 himself 190 251 cannot. 191 251 CHAPTER 192 251 8 193 251 The 194 251 Pulpit. 195 251 I 196 251 had 197 251 not 198 251 been 199 251 seated 200 251 very 201 251 long 202 251 ere 203 251 a 204 251 man 205 251 of 206 251 a 207 251 certain 208 251 venerable 209 251 robustness 210 251 entered; 211 251 immediately 212 251 as 213 251 the 214 251 storm-pelted 215 251 door 216 251 flew 217 251 back 218 251 upon 219 251 admitting 220 251 him, 221 251 a 222 251 quick 223 251 regardful 224 251 eyeing 225 251 of 226 251 him 227 251 by 228 251 all 229 251 the 230 251 congregation, 231 251 sufficiently 232 251 attested 233 251 that 234 251 this 235 251 fine 236 251 old 237 251 man 238 251 was 239 251 the 240 251 chaplain. 241 251 Yes, 242 251 it 243 251 was 244 251 the 245 251 famous 246 251 Father 247 251 Mapple, 248 251 so 249 251 called 250 251 by 1 252 the 5 252 whalemen, 11 252 among 13 252 whom 17 252 he 19 252 was 23 252 a 25 252 very 29 252 great 31 252 favourite. 37 252 He 41 252 had 43 252 been 47 252 a 53 252 sailor 55 252 and 59 252 a 61 252 harpooneer 65 252 in 67 252 his 71 252 youth, 73 252 but 79 252 for 83 252 many 85 252 years 89 252 past 95 252 had 97 252 dedicated 101 252 his 103 252 life 107 252 to 109 252 the 113 252 ministry. 115 252 At 121 252 the 125 252 time 127 252 I 131 252 now 137 252 write 139 252 of, 143 252 Father 145 252 Mapple 149 252 was 151 252 in 155 252 the 157 252 hardy 163 252 winter 167 252 of 169 252 a 173 252 healthy 179 252 old 181 252 age; 185 252 that 187 252 sort 191 252 of 193 252 old 197 252 age 199 252 which 205 252 seems 209 252 merging 211 252 into 215 252 a 221 252 second 223 252 flowering 227 252 youth, 229 252 for 233 252 among 235 252 all 239 252 the 241 252 fissures 247 252 of 251 252 his 1 253 wrinkles, 2 253 there 3 253 shone 4 253 certain 5 253 mild 6 253 gleams 7 253 of 8 253 a 9 253 newly 10 253 developing 12 253 bloom--the 13 253 spring 14 253 verdure 15 253 peeping 16 253 forth 17 253 even 18 253 beneath 19 253 February's 20 253 snow. 21 253 No 24 253 one 25 253 having 26 253 previously 27 253 heard 28 253 his 29 253 history, 30 253 could 31 253 for 32 253 the 34 253 first 35 253 time 36 253 behold 37 253 Father 38 253 Mapple 39 253 without 40 253 the 41 253 utmost 42 253 interest, 43 253 because 45 253 there 47 253 were 48 253 certain 49 253 engrafted 50 253 clerical 51 253 peculiarities 52 253 about 53 253 him, 54 253 imputable 56 253 to 57 253 that 58 253 adventurous 59 253 maritime 60 253 life 61 253 he 62 253 had 63 253 led. 64 253 When 65 253 he 67 253 entered 68 253 I 70 253 observed 71 253 that 72 253 he 73 253 carried 74 253 no 75 253 umbrella, 76 253 and 78 253 certainly 79 253 had 80 253 not 81 253 come 82 253 in 83 253 his 84 253 carriage, 85 253 for 86 253 his 87 253 tarpaulin 89 253 hat 90 253 ran 91 253 down 93 253 with 94 253 melting 95 253 sleet, 96 253 and 97 253 his 98 253 great 100 253 pilot 101 253 cloth 102 253 jacket 103 253 seemed 104 253 almost 105 253 to 106 253 drag 107 253 him 108 253 to 109 253 the 111 253 floor 112 253 with 113 253 the 114 253 weight 116 253 of 117 253 the 118 253 water 119 253 it 120 253 had 122 253 absorbed. 123 253 However, 124 253 hat 125 253 and 126 253 coat 127 253 and 128 253 overshoes 129 253 were 130 253 one 131 253 by 133 253 one 134 253 removed, 135 253 and 136 253 hung 137 253 up 139 253 in 140 253 a 141 253 little 142 253 space 144 253 in 145 253 an 146 253 adjacent 147 253 corner; 148 253 when, 149 253 arrayed 150 253 in 151 253 a 152 253 decent 153 253 suit, 155 253 he 156 253 quietly 157 253 approached 158 253 the 159 253 pulpit. 160 253 Like 162 253 most 163 253 old 164 253 fashioned 166 253 pulpits, 167 253 it 168 253 was 169 253 a 170 253 very 171 253 lofty 172 253 one, 173 253 and 174 253 since 175 253 a 177 253 regular 178 253 stairs 179 253 to 180 253 such 181 253 a 182 253 height 183 253 would, 185 253 by 186 253 its 188 253 long 189 253 angle 190 253 with 191 253 the 192 253 floor, 193 253 seriously 194 253 contract 195 253 the 196 253 already 197 253 small 199 253 area 200 253 of 201 253 the 202 253 chapel, 203 253 the 204 253 architect, 205 253 it 206 253 seemed, 208 253 had 210 253 acted 211 253 upon 212 253 the 213 253 hint 214 253 of 215 253 Father 216 253 Mapple, 217 253 and 218 253 finished 219 253 the 221 253 pulpit 222 253 without 223 253 a 224 253 stairs, 225 253 substituting 226 253 a 227 253 perpendicular 228 253 side 229 253 ladder, 232 253 like 233 253 those 234 253 used 235 253 in 236 253 mounting 237 253 a 238 253 ship 239 253 from 240 253 a 241 253 boat 243 253 at 244 253 sea. 245 253 The 246 253 wife 247 253 of 248 253 a 249 253 whaling 250 253 captain 251 253 had 252 253 provided 1 254 the 3 254 chapel 5 254 with 7 254 a 9 254 handsome 11 254 pair 13 254 of 15 254 red 17 254 worsted 19 254 man-ropes 21 254 for 23 254 this 25 254 ladder, 27 254 which, 29 254 being 31 254 itself 33 254 nicely 35 254 headed, 37 254 and 39 254 stained 41 254 with 43 254 a 45 254 mahogany 47 254 colour, 49 254 the 51 254 whole 53 254 contrivance, 55 254 considering 57 254 what 59 254 manner 61 254 of 63 254 chapel 65 254 it 67 254 was, 69 254 seemed 71 254 by 73 254 no 75 254 means 77 254 in 79 254 bad 81 254 taste. 83 254 Halting 85 254 for 87 254 an 89 254 instant 91 254 at 93 254 the 95 254 foot 97 254 of 99 254 the 101 254 ladder, 103 254 and 105 254 with 107 254 both 109 254 hands 111 254 grasping 113 254 the 115 254 ornamental 117 254 knobs 119 254 of 121 254 the 123 254 man-ropes, 125 254 Father 129 254 Mapple 131 254 cast 133 254 a 135 254 look 137 254 upwards, 139 254 and 141 254 then 143 254 with 145 254 a 147 254 truly 149 254 sailor-like 151 254 but 153 254 still 155 254 reverential 157 254 dexterity, 159 254 hand 161 254 over 163 254 hand, 165 254 mounted 167 254 the 169 254 steps 171 254 as 173 254 if 175 254 ascending 177 254 the 179 254 main-top 181 254 of 183 254 his 185 254 vessel. 187 254 The 189 254 perpendicular 191 254 parts 193 254 of 195 254 this 197 254 side 199 254 ladder, 201 254 as 203 254 is 205 254 usually 207 254 the 209 254 case 211 254 with 213 254 swinging 215 254 ones, 217 254 were 219 254 of 221 254 cloth-covered 223 254 rope, 225 254 only 227 254 the 229 254 rounds 231 254 were 233 254 of 235 254 wood, 237 254 so 239 254 that 241 254 at 243 254 every 245 254 step 247 254 there 249 254 was 251 254 a 253 254 joint. 1 255 At 2 255 my 4 255 first 7 255 glimpse 8 255 of 11 255 the 13 255 pulpit, 14 255 it 16 255 had 19 255 not 22 255 escaped 23 255 me 26 255 that 28 255 however 29 255 convenient 31 255 for 32 255 a 37 255 ship, 38 255 these 41 255 joints 43 255 in 44 255 the 46 255 present 47 255 instance 49 255 seemed 52 255 unnecessary. 53 255 For 56 255 I 58 255 was 59 255 not 61 255 prepared 62 255 to 64 255 see 67 255 Father 71 255 Mapple 73 255 after 74 255 gaining 76 255 the 77 255 height, 79 255 slowly 82 255 turn 83 255 round, 86 255 and 88 255 stooping 89 255 over 91 255 the 92 255 pulpit, 94 255 deliberately 97 255 drag 98 255 up 101 255 the 103 255 ladder 104 255 step 106 255 by 107 255 step, 109 255 till 112 255 the 113 255 whole 116 255 was 118 255 deposited 121 255 within, 122 255 leaving 124 255 him 127 255 impregnable 128 255 in 131 255 his 133 255 little 134 255 Quebec. 137 255 I 139 255 pondered 142 255 some 143 255 time 146 255 without 148 255 fully 149 255 comprehending 151 255 the 152 255 reason 154 255 for 157 255 this. 158 255 Father 161 255 Mapple 163 255 enjoyed 164 255 such 166 255 a 167 255 wide 169 255 reputation 172 255 for 173 255 sincerity 176 255 and 178 255 sanctity, 179 255 that 181 255 I 182 255 could 184 255 not 188 255 suspect 191 255 him 193 255 of 194 255 courting 196 255 notoriety 197 255 by 199 255 any 202 255 mere 203 255 tricks 206 255 of 208 255 the 209 255 stage. 211 255 No, 212 255 thought 214 255 I, 217 255 there 218 255 must 223 255 be 224 255 some 226 255 sober 227 255 reason 229 255 for 232 255 this 233 255 thing; 236 255 furthermore, 239 255 it 241 255 must 242 255 symbolize 244 255 something 247 255 unseen. 248 255 Can 251 255 it 253 255 be, 254 255 then, 1 256 that 3 256 by 5 256 that 7 256 act 9 256 of 11 256 physical 13 256 isolation, 15 256 he 17 256 signifies 19 256 his 21 256 spiritual 23 256 withdrawal 25 256 for 27 256 the 29 256 time, 31 256 from 33 256 all 35 256 outward 37 256 worldly 39 256 ties 41 256 and 43 256 connexions? 45 256 Yes, 47 256 for 49 256 replenished 51 256 with 53 256 the 55 256 meat 57 256 and 59 256 wine 61 256 of 63 256 the 65 256 word, 67 256 to 69 256 the 71 256 faithful 73 256 man 75 256 of 77 256 God, 79 256 this 81 256 pulpit, 83 256 I 85 256 see, 87 256 is 89 256 a 91 256 self-containing 93 256 stronghold--a 95 256 lofty 97 256 Ehrenbreitstein, 99 256 with 101 256 a 103 256 perennial 105 256 well 107 256 of 109 256 water 111 256 within 113 256 the 115 256 walls. 117 256 But 119 256 the 121 256 side 123 256 ladder 125 256 was 127 256 not 129 256 the 131 256 only 133 256 strange 135 256 feature 137 256 of 139 256 the 141 256 place, 143 256 borrowed 145 256 from 147 256 the 149 256 chaplain's 151 256 former 153 256 sea-farings. 155 256 Between 157 256 the 159 256 marble 161 256 cenotaphs 163 256 on 165 256 either 167 256 hand 169 256 of 171 256 the 173 256 pulpit, 175 256 the 177 256 wall 179 256 which 181 256 formed 183 256 its 185 256 back 187 256 was 189 256 adorned 191 256 with 193 256 a 195 256 large 197 256 painting 199 256 representing 201 256 a 203 256 gallant 205 256 ship 207 256 beating 209 256 against 211 256 a 213 256 terrible 215 256 storm 217 256 off 219 256 a 221 256 lee 223 256 coast 225 256 of 227 256 black 229 256 rocks 231 256 and 233 256 snowy 235 256 breakers. 237 256 But 239 256 high 241 256 above 243 256 the 245 256 flying 247 256 scud 249 256 and 251 256 dark-rolling 253 256 clouds, 255 256 there 1 257 floated 2 257 a 3 257 little 4 257 isle 5 257 of 6 257 sunlight, 7 257 from 8 257 which 9 257 beamed 10 257 forth 11 257 an 12 257 angel's 13 257 face; 14 257 and 15 257 this 16 257 bright 17 257 face 18 257 shed 19 257 a 20 257 distinct 21 257 spot 22 257 of 23 257 radiance 24 257 upon 25 257 the 26 257 ship's 27 257 tossed 28 257 deck, 29 257 something 30 257 like 31 257 that 32 257 silver 33 257 plate 34 257 now 35 257 inserted 36 257 into 37 257 the 38 257 Victory's 39 257 plank 40 257 where 41 257 Nelson 42 257 fell. 43 257 "Ah, 44 257 noble 45 257 ship," 46 257 the 47 257 angel 48 257 seemed 49 257 to 50 257 say, 51 257 "beat 52 257 on, 53 257 beat 54 257 on, 55 257 thou 56 257 noble 57 257 ship, 58 257 and 59 257 bear 60 257 a 61 257 hardy 62 257 helm; 63 257 for 64 257 lo! 65 257 the 66 257 sun 67 257 is 68 257 breaking 69 257 through; 70 257 the 71 257 clouds 72 257 are 73 257 rolling 74 257 off--serenest 75 257 azure 76 257 is 77 257 at 78 257 hand." 79 257 Nor 80 257 was 81 257 the 82 257 pulpit 83 257 itself 84 257 without 85 257 a 86 257 trace 87 257 of 88 257 the 89 257 same 90 257 sea-taste 91 257 that 92 257 had 93 257 achieved 94 257 the 95 257 ladder 96 257 and 97 257 the 98 257 picture. 99 257 Its 100 257 panelled 101 257 front 102 257 was 103 257 in 104 257 the 105 257 likeness 106 257 of 107 257 a 108 257 ship's 109 257 bluff 110 257 bows, 111 257 and 112 257 the 113 257 Holy 114 257 Bible 115 257 rested 116 257 on 117 257 a 118 257 projecting 119 257 piece 120 257 of 121 257 scroll 122 257 work, 123 257 fashioned 124 257 after 125 257 a 126 257 ship's 127 257 fiddle-headed 128 257 beak. 129 257 What 130 257 could 131 257 be 132 257 more 133 257 full 134 257 of 135 257 meaning?--for 136 257 the 137 257 pulpit 138 257 is 139 257 ever 140 257 this 141 257 earth's 142 257 foremost 143 257 part; 144 257 all 145 257 the 146 257 rest 147 257 comes 148 257 in 149 257 its 150 257 rear; 151 257 the 152 257 pulpit 153 257 leads 154 257 the 155 257 world. 156 257 From 157 257 thence 158 257 it 159 257 is 160 257 the 161 257 storm 162 257 of 163 257 God's 164 257 quick 165 257 wrath 166 257 is 167 257 first 168 257 descried, 169 257 and 170 257 the 171 257 bow 172 257 must 173 257 bear 174 257 the 175 257 earliest 176 257 brunt. 177 257 From 178 257 thence 179 257 it 180 257 is 181 257 the 182 257 God 183 257 of 184 257 breezes 185 257 fair 186 257 or 187 257 foul 188 257 is 189 257 first 190 257 invoked 191 257 for 192 257 favourable 193 257 winds. 194 257 Yes, 195 257 the 196 257 world's 197 257 a 198 257 ship 199 257 on 200 257 its 201 257 passage 202 257 out, 203 257 and 204 257 not 205 257 a 206 257 voyage 207 257 complete; 208 257 and 209 257 the 210 257 pulpit 211 257 is 212 257 its 213 257 prow. 214 257 CHAPTER 215 257 9 216 257 The 217 257 Sermon. 218 257 Father 219 257 Mapple 220 257 rose, 221 257 and 222 257 in 223 257 a 224 257 mild 225 257 voice 226 257 of 227 257 unassuming 228 257 authority 229 257 ordered 230 257 the 231 257 scattered 232 257 people 233 257 to 234 257 condense. 235 257 "Starboard 236 257 gangway, 237 257 there! 238 257 side 239 257 away 240 257 to 241 257 larboard--larboard 242 257 gangway 243 257 to 244 257 starboard! 245 257 Midships! 246 257 midships!" 247 257 There 248 257 was 249 257 a 250 257 low 251 257 rumbling 252 257 of 253 257 heavy 254 257 sea-boots 255 257 among 256 257 the 1 258 benches, 5 258 and 7 258 a 11 258 still 13 258 slighter 17 258 shuffling 19 258 of 23 258 women's 25 258 shoes, 29 258 and 31 258 all 35 258 was 37 258 quiet 41 258 again, 47 258 and 49 258 every 53 258 eye 55 258 on 59 258 the 61 258 preacher. 65 258 He 67 258 paused 71 258 a 73 258 little; 77 258 then 79 258 kneeling 83 258 in 85 258 the 89 258 pulpit's 91 258 bows, 95 258 folded 97 258 his 101 258 large 103 258 brown 107 258 hands 109 258 across 113 258 his 115 258 chest, 119 258 uplifted 121 258 his 125 258 closed 127 258 eyes, 131 258 and 133 258 offered 137 258 a 139 258 prayer 143 258 so 145 258 deeply 149 258 devout 151 258 that 155 258 he 157 258 seemed 161 258 kneeling 163 258 and 167 258 praying 169 258 at 173 258 the 175 258 bottom 179 258 of 181 258 the 185 258 sea. 187 258 This 191 258 ended, 193 258 in 197 258 prolonged 199 258 solemn 203 258 tones, 205 258 like 209 258 the 211 258 continual 217 258 tolling 221 258 of 223 258 a 227 258 bell 229 258 in 233 258 a 235 258 ship 239 258 that 241 258 is 245 258 foundering 247 258 at 251 258 sea 253 258 in 257 258 a 1 259 fog--in 2 259 such 3 259 tones 4 259 he 5 259 commenced 6 259 reading 8 259 the 9 259 following 10 259 hymn; 11 259 but 12 259 changing 13 259 his 15 259 manner 16 259 towards 17 259 the 18 259 concluding 19 259 stanzas, 20 259 burst 22 259 forth 23 259 with 24 259 a 25 259 pealing 26 259 exultation 27 259 and 29 259 joy-- 30 259 "The 31 259 ribs 32 259 and 33 259 terrors 34 259 in 36 259 the 38 259 whale, 39 259 Arched 40 259 over 41 259 me 43 259 a 44 259 dismal 45 259 gloom, 46 259 While 47 259 all 48 259 God's 50 259 sun-lit 51 259 waves 52 259 rolled 53 259 by, 54 259 And 55 259 lift 57 259 me 58 259 deepening 59 259 down 60 259 to 61 259 doom. 62 259 "I 64 259 saw 65 259 the 66 259 opening 67 259 maw 68 259 of 69 259 hell, 71 259 With 72 259 endless 73 259 pains 75 259 and 76 259 sorrows 78 259 there; 79 259 Which 80 259 none 81 259 but 82 259 they 83 259 that 85 259 feel 86 259 can 87 259 tell-- 88 259 Oh, 89 259 I 90 259 was 92 259 plunging 93 259 to 94 259 despair. 95 259 "In 96 259 black 97 259 distress, 99 259 I 100 259 called 101 259 my 102 259 God, 103 259 When 104 259 I 106 259 could 107 259 scarce 108 259 believe 109 259 him 110 259 mine, 113 259 He 114 259 bowed 115 259 his 116 259 ear 117 259 to 118 259 my 120 259 complaints-- 121 259 No 122 259 more 123 259 the 124 259 whale 125 259 did 127 259 me 128 259 confine. 129 259 "With 130 259 speed 131 259 he 132 259 flew 134 259 to 135 259 my 136 259 relief, 137 259 As 138 259 on 139 259 a 141 259 radiant 142 259 dolphin 143 259 borne; 144 259 Awful, 145 259 yet 146 259 bright, 149 259 as 150 259 lightning 151 259 shone 152 259 The 153 259 face 155 259 of 156 259 my 157 259 Deliverer 158 259 God. 159 259 "My 160 259 song 162 259 for 163 259 ever 164 259 shall 165 259 record 166 259 That 167 259 terrible, 169 259 that 170 259 joyful 171 259 hour; 172 259 I 173 259 give 174 259 the 176 259 glory 177 259 to 178 259 my 179 259 God, 180 259 His 181 259 all 183 259 the 184 259 mercy 186 259 and 187 259 the 188 259 power. 190 259 Nearly 191 259 all 192 259 joined 193 259 in 194 259 singing 195 259 this 197 259 hymn, 198 259 which 199 259 swelled 200 259 high 201 259 above 202 259 the 204 259 howling 205 259 of 206 259 the 207 259 storm. 208 259 A 209 259 brief 211 259 pause 212 259 ensued; 213 259 the 214 259 preacher 215 259 slowly 216 259 turned 218 259 over 219 259 the 220 259 leaves 221 259 of 223 259 the 225 259 Bible, 226 259 and 227 259 at 228 259 last, 229 259 folding 230 259 his 232 259 hand 233 259 down 234 259 upon 235 259 the 236 259 proper 237 259 page, 239 259 said: 240 259 "Beloved 241 259 shipmates, 242 259 clinch 243 259 the 244 259 last 246 259 verse 247 259 of 248 259 the 249 259 first 250 259 chapter 251 259 of 253 259 Jonah--'And 254 259 God 255 259 had 256 259 prepared 257 259 a 258 259 great 1 260 fish 3 260 to 7 260 swallow 9 260 up 11 260 Jonah.'" 17 260 "Shipmates, 19 260 this 21 260 book, 23 260 containing 27 260 only 29 260 four 31 260 chapters--four 33 260 yarns--is 37 260 one 41 260 of 43 260 the 47 260 smallest 49 260 strands 51 260 in 53 260 the 57 260 mighty 59 260 cable 61 260 of 63 260 the 67 260 Scriptures. 69 260 Yet 71 260 what 73 260 depths 77 260 of 79 260 the 81 260 soul 83 260 does 87 260 Jonah's 89 260 deep 93 260 sealine 97 260 sound! 99 260 what 101 260 a 103 260 pregnant 107 260 lesson 109 260 to 111 260 us 113 260 is 119 260 this 121 260 prophet! 123 260 What 127 260 a 129 260 noble 131 260 thing 133 260 is 137 260 that 139 260 canticle 141 260 in 147 260 the 149 260 fish's 151 260 belly! 153 260 How 157 260 billow-like 159 260 and 161 260 boisterously 163 260 grand! 167 260 We 171 260 feel 173 260 the 177 260 floods 179 260 surging 181 260 over 183 260 us; 187 260 we 189 260 sound 191 260 with 193 260 him 197 260 to 199 260 the 201 260 kelpy 203 260 bottom 207 260 of 209 260 the 211 260 waters; 213 260 sea-weed 217 260 and 219 260 all 223 260 the 227 260 slime 229 260 of 231 260 the 233 260 sea 237 260 is 239 260 about 241 260 us! 243 260 But 249 260 WHAT 251 260 is 253 260 this 257 260 lesson 259 260 that 1 261 the 2 261 book 4 261 of 5 261 Jonah 7 261 teaches? 8 261 Shipmates, 10 261 it 11 261 is 13 261 a 14 261 two-stranded 16 261 lesson; 17 261 a 19 261 lesson 20 261 to 22 261 us 23 261 all 25 261 as 26 261 sinful 28 261 men, 31 261 and 32 261 a 34 261 lesson 35 261 to 37 261 me 38 261 as 40 261 a 41 261 pilot 43 261 of 44 261 the 46 261 living 47 261 God. 49 261 As 50 261 sinful 52 261 men, 53 261 it 55 261 is 56 261 a 59 261 lesson 61 261 to 62 261 us 64 261 all, 65 261 because 67 261 it 68 261 is 70 261 a 71 261 story 73 261 of 74 261 the 76 261 sin, 77 261 hard-heartedness, 79 261 suddenly 80 261 awakened 82 261 fears, 83 261 the 85 261 swift 86 261 punishment, 88 261 repentance, 89 261 prayers, 91 261 and 92 261 finally 94 261 the 95 261 deliverance 97 261 and 98 261 joy 100 261 of 101 261 Jonah. 103 261 As 104 261 with 106 261 all 107 261 sinners 109 261 among 110 261 men, 112 261 the 113 261 sin 115 261 of 118 261 this 119 261 son 121 261 of 122 261 Amittai 124 261 was 125 261 in 127 261 his 128 261 wilful 130 261 disobedience 131 261 of 133 261 the 134 261 command 136 261 of 137 261 God--never 139 261 mind 140 261 now 142 261 what 143 261 that 146 261 command 148 261 was, 149 261 or 151 261 how 152 261 conveyed--which 154 261 he 155 261 found 157 261 a 158 261 hard 160 261 command. 161 261 But 163 261 all 164 261 the 166 261 things 167 261 that 169 261 God 170 261 would 172 261 have 173 261 us 175 261 do 176 261 are 178 261 hard 179 261 for 181 261 us 182 261 to 184 261 do--remember 185 261 that--and 187 261 hence, 188 261 he 190 261 oftener 191 261 commands 193 261 us 194 261 than 196 261 endeavors 197 261 to 199 261 persuade. 200 261 And 202 261 if 205 261 we 206 261 obey 208 261 God, 209 261 we 211 261 must 212 261 disobey 214 261 ourselves; 215 261 and 217 261 it 218 261 is 220 261 in 221 261 this 223 261 disobeying 224 261 ourselves, 226 261 wherein 227 261 the 229 261 hardness 230 261 of 233 261 obeying 235 261 God 236 261 consists. 238 261 "With 239 261 this 241 261 sin 242 261 of 244 261 disobedience 245 261 in 247 261 him, 248 261 Jonah 250 261 still 251 261 further 253 261 flouts 254 261 at 256 261 God, 257 261 by 259 261 seeking 260 261 to 1 262 flee 3 262 from 5 262 Him. 7 262 He 9 262 thinks 11 262 that 13 262 a 15 262 ship 17 262 made 19 262 by 21 262 men 23 262 will 25 262 carry 27 262 him 29 262 into 31 262 countries 33 262 where 35 262 God 37 262 does 39 262 not 41 262 reign, 43 262 but 45 262 only 47 262 the 49 262 Captains 51 262 of 53 262 this 55 262 earth. 57 262 He 59 262 skulks 61 262 about 63 262 the 65 262 wharves 67 262 of 69 262 Joppa, 71 262 and 73 262 seeks 75 262 a 77 262 ship 79 262 that's 81 262 bound 83 262 for 85 262 Tarshish. 87 262 There 89 262 lurks, 91 262 perhaps, 93 262 a 95 262 hitherto 97 262 unheeded 99 262 meaning 101 262 here. 103 262 By 105 262 all 107 262 accounts 109 262 Tarshish 111 262 could 113 262 have 115 262 been 117 262 no 119 262 other 121 262 city 123 262 than 125 262 the 127 262 modern 129 262 Cadiz. 133 262 That's 135 262 the 137 262 opinion 139 262 of 141 262 learned 143 262 men. 145 262 And 147 262 where 149 262 is 151 262 Cadiz, 153 262 shipmates? 155 262 Cadiz 157 262 is 159 262 in 161 262 Spain; 163 262 as 165 262 far 167 262 by 169 262 water, 171 262 from 173 262 Joppa, 175 262 as 177 262 Jonah 179 262 could 181 262 possibly 183 262 have 185 262 sailed 187 262 in 189 262 those 191 262 ancient 193 262 days, 195 262 when 197 262 the 199 262 Atlantic 201 262 was 203 262 an 205 262 almost 207 262 unknown 209 262 sea. 211 262 Because 213 262 Joppa, 215 262 the 217 262 modern 219 262 Jaffa, 221 262 shipmates, 223 262 is 225 262 on 227 262 the 229 262 most 231 262 easterly 233 262 coast 235 262 of 237 262 the 239 262 Mediterranean, 241 262 the 243 262 Syrian; 245 262 and 247 262 Tarshish 249 262 or 251 262 Cadiz 253 262 more 255 262 than 257 262 two 259 262 thousand 261 262 miles 1 263 to 2 263 the 3 263 westward 4 263 from 5 263 that, 6 263 just 7 263 outside 8 263 the 9 263 Straits 10 263 of 11 263 Gibraltar. 12 263 See 13 263 ye 14 263 not 15 263 then, 16 263 shipmates, 17 263 that 18 263 Jonah 19 263 sought 20 263 to 21 263 flee 22 263 world-wide 23 263 from 24 263 God? 25 263 Miserable 26 263 man! 27 263 Oh! 28 263 most 29 263 contemptible 30 263 and 31 263 worthy 32 263 of 33 263 all 34 263 scorn; 35 263 with 36 263 slouched 37 263 hat 38 263 and 39 263 guilty 40 263 eye, 41 263 skulking 42 263 from 43 263 his 44 263 God; 45 263 prowling 46 263 among 47 263 the 48 263 shipping 49 263 like 50 263 a 51 263 vile 52 263 burglar 53 263 hastening 54 263 to 55 263 cross 56 263 the 57 263 seas. 58 263 So 59 263 disordered, 60 263 self-condemning 61 263 is 62 263 his 63 263 look, 64 263 that 65 263 had 66 263 there 67 263 been 68 263 policemen 69 263 in 70 263 those 71 263 days, 72 263 Jonah, 73 263 on 74 263 the 75 263 mere 76 263 suspicion 77 263 of 78 263 something 79 263 wrong, 80 263 had 81 263 been 82 263 arrested 83 263 ere 84 263 he 85 263 touched 86 263 a 87 263 deck. 88 263 How 89 263 plainly 90 263 he's 91 263 a 92 263 fugitive! 93 263 no 94 263 baggage, 95 263 not 96 263 a 97 263 hat-box, 98 263 valise, 99 263 or 100 263 carpet-bag,--no 101 263 friends 102 263 accompany 103 263 him 104 263 to 105 263 the 106 263 wharf 107 263 with 108 263 their 109 263 adieux. 110 263 At 111 263 last, 112 263 after 113 263 much 114 263 dodging 115 263 search, 116 263 he 117 263 finds 118 263 the 119 263 Tarshish 120 263 ship 121 263 receiving 122 263 the 123 263 last 124 263 items 125 263 of 126 263 her 127 263 cargo; 128 263 and 129 263 as 130 263 he 131 263 steps 132 263 on 133 263 board 134 263 to 135 263 see 136 263 its 137 263 Captain 138 263 in 139 263 the 140 263 cabin, 141 263 all 142 263 the 143 263 sailors 144 263 for 145 263 the 146 263 moment 147 263 desist 148 263 from 149 263 hoisting 150 263 in 151 263 the 152 263 goods, 153 263 to 154 263 mark 155 263 the 156 263 stranger's 157 263 evil 158 263 eye. 159 263 Jonah 160 263 sees 161 263 this; 162 263 but 163 263 in 164 263 vain 165 263 he 166 263 tries 167 263 to 168 263 look 169 263 all 170 263 ease 171 263 and 172 263 confidence; 173 263 in 174 263 vain 175 263 essays 176 263 his 177 263 wretched 178 263 smile. 179 263 Strong 180 263 intuitions 181 263 of 182 263 the 183 263 man 184 263 assure 185 263 the 186 263 mariners 187 263 he 188 263 can 189 263 be 190 263 no 191 263 innocent. 192 263 In 193 263 their 194 263 gamesome 195 263 but 196 263 still 197 263 serious 198 263 way, 199 263 one 200 263 whispers 201 263 to 202 263 the 203 263 other--"Jack, 204 263 he's 205 263 robbed 206 263 a 207 263 widow;" 208 263 or, 209 263 "Joe, 210 263 do 211 263 you 212 263 mark 213 263 him; 214 263 he's 215 263 a 216 263 bigamist;" 217 263 or, 218 263 "Harry 219 263 lad, 220 263 I 221 263 guess 222 263 he's 223 263 the 224 263 adulterer 225 263 that 226 263 broke 227 263 jail 228 263 in 229 263 old 230 263 Gomorrah, 231 263 or 232 263 belike, 233 263 one 234 263 of 235 263 the 236 263 missing 237 263 murderers 238 263 from 239 263 Sodom." 240 263 Another 241 263 runs 242 263 to 243 263 read 244 263 the 245 263 bill 246 263 that's 247 263 stuck 248 263 against 249 263 the 250 263 spile 251 263 upon 252 263 the 253 263 wharf 254 263 to 255 263 which 256 263 the 257 263 ship 258 263 is 259 263 moored, 260 263 offering 261 263 five 262 263 hundred 1 264 gold 5 264 coins 7 264 for 13 264 the 17 264 apprehension 19 264 of 23 264 a 25 264 parricide, 29 264 and 31 264 containing 35 264 a 37 264 description 41 264 of 43 264 his 47 264 person. 49 264 He 53 264 reads, 59 264 and 61 264 looks 65 264 from 67 264 Jonah 71 264 to 73 264 the 79 264 bill; 83 264 while 85 264 all 89 264 his 91 264 sympathetic 95 264 shipmates 97 264 now 101 264 crowd 103 264 round 107 264 Jonah, 109 264 prepared 113 264 to 115 264 lay 119 264 their 125 264 hands 127 264 upon 131 264 him. 133 264 Frighted 137 264 Jonah 139 264 trembles, 145 264 and 149 264 summoning 151 264 all 155 264 his 157 264 boldness 161 264 to 163 264 his 167 264 face, 169 264 only 173 264 looks 175 264 so 179 264 much 181 264 the 185 264 more 191 264 a 193 264 coward. 197 264 He 199 264 will 203 264 not 205 264 confess 211 264 himself 215 264 suspected; 217 264 but 221 264 that 223 264 itself 227 264 is 229 264 strong 233 264 suspicion. 235 264 So 239 264 he 241 264 makes 245 264 the 247 264 best 251 264 of 257 264 it; 259 264 and 263 264 when 1 265 the 2 265 sailors 3 265 find 4 265 him 6 265 not 7 265 to 8 265 be 9 265 the 11 265 man 12 265 that 13 265 is 14 265 advertised, 16 265 they 17 265 let 18 265 him 19 265 pass, 21 265 and 22 265 he 23 265 descends 24 265 into 26 265 the 27 265 cabin. 28 265 "'Who's 29 265 there?' 31 265 cries 32 265 the 33 265 Captain 34 265 at 36 265 his 37 265 busy 38 265 desk, 39 265 hurriedly 41 265 making 42 265 out 43 265 his 44 265 papers 46 265 for 47 265 the 48 265 Customs--'Who's 49 265 there?' 51 265 Oh! 52 265 how 54 265 that 56 265 harmless 57 265 question 58 265 mangles 59 265 Jonah! 61 265 For 62 265 the 63 265 instant 64 265 he 66 265 almost 67 265 turns 68 265 to 69 265 flee 71 265 again. 72 265 But 73 265 he 74 265 rallies. 76 265 'I 77 265 seek 78 265 a 79 265 passage 81 265 in 82 265 this 83 265 ship 84 265 to 86 265 Tarshish; 87 265 how 88 265 soon 89 265 sail 91 265 ye, 92 265 sir?' 93 265 Thus 94 265 far 96 265 the 97 265 busy 98 265 Captain 99 265 had 101 265 not 102 265 looked 103 265 up 104 265 to 107 265 Jonah, 108 265 though 109 265 the 111 265 man 112 265 now 113 265 stands 114 265 before 116 265 him; 117 265 but 118 265 no 119 265 sooner 121 265 does 122 265 he 123 265 hear 124 265 that 126 265 hollow 127 265 voice, 128 265 than 129 265 he 131 265 darts 132 265 a 133 265 scrutinizing 134 265 glance. 136 265 'We 137 265 sail 138 265 with 139 265 the 141 265 next 142 265 coming 143 265 tide,' 144 265 at 146 265 last 147 265 he 148 265 slowly 149 265 answered, 151 265 still 152 265 intently 153 265 eyeing 154 265 him. 156 265 'No 157 265 sooner, 158 265 sir?'--'Soon 161 265 enough 162 265 for 163 265 any 164 265 honest 166 265 man 167 265 that 168 265 goes 169 265 a 171 265 passenger.' 172 265 Ha! 173 265 Jonah, 174 265 that's 176 265 another 177 265 stab. 178 265 But 179 265 he 181 265 swiftly 182 265 calls 183 265 away 184 265 the 186 265 Captain 187 265 from 188 265 that 189 265 scent. 191 265 'I'll 192 265 sail 193 265 with 194 265 ye,'--he 196 265 says,--'the 197 265 passage 198 265 money 199 265 how 201 265 much 202 265 is 203 265 that?--I'll 204 265 pay 206 265 now.' 207 265 For 208 265 it 209 265 is 211 265 particularly 213 265 written, 214 265 shipmates, 216 265 as 217 265 if 218 265 it 219 265 were 221 265 a 222 265 thing 223 265 not 224 265 to 226 265 be 227 265 overlooked 228 265 in 229 265 this 231 265 history, 232 265 'that 233 265 he 234 265 paid 236 265 the 237 265 fare 238 265 thereof' 239 265 ere 241 265 the 242 265 craft 243 265 did 244 265 sail. 246 265 And 247 265 taken 248 265 with 249 265 the 251 265 context, 252 265 this 253 265 is 254 265 full 256 265 of 257 265 meaning. 258 265 "Now 259 265 Jonah's 261 265 Captain, 262 265 shipmates, 263 265 was 264 265 one 1 266 whose 3 266 discernment 5 266 detects 9 266 crime 11 266 in 13 266 any, 15 266 but 17 266 whose 23 266 cupidity 25 266 exposes 27 266 it 29 266 only 31 266 in 33 266 the 37 266 penniless. 39 266 In 41 266 this 43 266 world, 45 266 shipmates, 47 266 sin 51 266 that 53 266 pays 55 266 its 59 266 way 61 266 can 65 266 travel 67 266 freely, 69 266 and 71 266 without 73 266 a 75 266 passport; 79 266 whereas 81 266 Virtue, 83 266 if 85 266 a 87 266 pauper, 89 266 is 93 266 stopped 97 266 at 99 266 all 101 266 frontiers. 103 266 So 107 266 Jonah's 109 266 Captain 111 266 prepares 113 266 to 115 266 test 117 266 the 121 266 length 123 266 of 125 266 Jonah's 127 266 purse, 129 266 ere 131 266 he 135 266 judge 137 266 him 139 266 openly. 141 266 He 143 266 charges 145 266 him 149 266 thrice 151 266 the 153 266 usual 155 266 sum; 157 266 and 159 266 it's 163 266 assented 165 266 to. 167 266 Then 169 266 the 173 266 Captain 177 266 knows 179 266 that 181 266 Jonah 183 266 is 185 266 a 187 266 fugitive; 191 266 but 193 266 at 195 266 the 197 266 same 199 266 time 201 266 resolves 205 266 to 207 266 help 211 266 a 213 266 flight 215 266 that 219 266 paves 221 266 its 223 266 rear 225 266 with 227 266 gold. 229 266 Yet 233 266 when 235 266 Jonah 237 266 fairly 239 266 takes 241 266 out 243 266 his 249 266 purse, 251 266 prudent 253 266 suspicions 255 266 still 257 266 molest 261 266 the 263 266 Captain. 265 266 He 1 267 rings 2 267 every 4 267 coin 5 267 to 7 267 find 8 267 a 10 267 counterfeit. 11 267 Not 13 267 a 14 267 forger, 16 267 any 17 267 way, 19 267 he 20 267 mutters; 22 267 and 23 267 Jonah 25 267 is 26 267 put 28 267 down 29 267 for 31 267 his 32 267 passage. 34 267 'Point 35 267 out 37 267 my 38 267 state-room, 40 267 Sir,' 41 267 says 43 267 Jonah 44 267 now, 46 267 'I'm 47 267 travel-weary; 49 267 I 50 267 need 52 267 sleep.' 53 267 'Thou 55 267 lookest 56 267 like 58 267 it,' 59 267 says 61 267 the 62 267 Captain, 64 267 'there's 65 267 thy 67 267 room.' 68 267 Jonah 70 267 enters, 71 267 and 73 267 would 74 267 lock 76 267 the 77 267 door, 79 267 but 80 267 the 82 267 lock 83 267 contains 85 267 no 86 267 key. 88 267 Hearing 91 267 him 92 267 foolishly 94 267 fumbling 95 267 there, 97 267 the 98 267 Captain 100 267 laughs 101 267 lowly 103 267 to 104 267 himself, 106 267 and 107 267 mutters 109 267 something 110 267 about 112 267 the 113 267 doors 115 267 of 116 267 convicts' 118 267 cells 119 267 being 121 267 never 122 267 allowed 124 267 to 125 267 be 127 267 locked 128 267 within. 130 267 All 131 267 dressed 133 267 and 134 267 dusty 136 267 as 137 267 he 139 267 is, 140 267 Jonah 142 267 throws 143 267 himself 145 267 into 146 267 his 148 267 berth, 149 267 and 151 267 finds 152 267 the 154 267 little 155 267 state-room 157 267 ceiling 158 267 almost 160 267 resting 161 267 on 163 267 his 164 267 forehead. 166 267 The 167 267 air 169 267 is 170 267 close, 172 267 and 173 267 Jonah 175 267 gasps. 176 267 Then, 179 267 in 181 267 that 182 267 contracted 184 267 hole, 185 267 sunk, 187 267 too, 188 267 beneath 190 267 the 191 267 ship's 193 267 water-line, 194 267 Jonah 196 267 feels 197 267 the 199 267 heralding 200 267 presentiment 202 267 of 203 267 that 205 267 stifling 206 267 hour, 208 267 when 209 267 the 211 267 whale 212 267 shall 214 267 hold 215 267 him 217 267 in 218 267 the 220 267 smallest 221 267 of 223 267 his 224 267 bowels' 226 267 wards. 227 267 "Screwed 229 267 at 230 267 its 232 267 axis 233 267 against 235 267 the 236 267 side, 238 267 a 239 267 swinging 241 267 lamp 242 267 slightly 244 267 oscillates 245 267 in 247 267 Jonah's 248 267 room; 250 267 and 251 267 the 253 267 ship, 254 267 heeling 256 267 over 257 267 towards 259 267 the 260 267 wharf 262 267 with 263 267 the 265 267 weight 266 267 of 1 268 the 3 268 last 5 268 bales 7 268 received, 9 268 the 11 268 lamp, 13 268 flame 15 268 and 17 268 all, 19 268 though 21 268 in 23 268 slight 25 268 motion, 27 268 still 29 268 maintains 31 268 a 33 268 permanent 35 268 obliquity 37 268 with 39 268 reference 41 268 to 43 268 the 45 268 room; 47 268 though, 49 268 in 51 268 truth, 53 268 infallibly 55 268 straight 57 268 itself, 59 268 it 61 268 but 63 268 made 65 268 obvious 69 268 the 71 268 false, 73 268 lying 75 268 levels 77 268 among 79 268 which 81 268 it 83 268 hung. 85 268 The 87 268 lamp 89 268 alarms 91 268 and 93 268 frightens 95 268 Jonah; 97 268 as 99 268 lying 101 268 in 103 268 his 105 268 berth 107 268 his 109 268 tormented 111 268 eyes 113 268 roll 115 268 round 117 268 the 119 268 place, 121 268 and 123 268 this 125 268 thus 127 268 far 129 268 successful 131 268 fugitive 133 268 finds 135 268 no 137 268 refuge 139 268 for 141 268 his 143 268 restless 145 268 glance. 147 268 But 149 268 that 151 268 contradiction 153 268 in 155 268 the 157 268 lamp 159 268 more 161 268 and 163 268 more 165 268 appals 167 268 him. 169 268 The 171 268 floor, 173 268 the 175 268 ceiling, 177 268 and 179 268 the 181 268 side, 183 268 are 185 268 all 187 268 awry. 189 268 'Oh! 191 268 so 193 268 my 195 268 conscience 197 268 hangs 199 268 in 203 268 me!' 205 268 he 207 268 groans, 209 268 'straight 211 268 upwards, 213 268 so 215 268 it 217 268 burns; 219 268 but 221 268 the 223 268 chambers 225 268 of 227 268 my 229 268 soul 231 268 are 233 268 all 235 268 in 237 268 crookedness!' 239 268 "Like 241 268 one 243 268 who 245 268 after 247 268 a 249 268 night 251 268 of 253 268 drunken 255 268 revelry 257 268 hies 259 268 to 261 268 his 263 268 bed, 265 268 still 267 268 reeling, 1 269 but 2 269 with 3 269 conscience 4 269 yet 5 269 pricking 6 269 him, 7 269 as 8 269 the 9 269 plungings 10 269 of 11 269 the 12 269 Roman 13 269 race-horse 14 269 but 15 269 so 16 269 much 17 269 the 18 269 more 19 269 strike 20 269 his 21 269 steel 22 269 tags 23 269 into 24 269 him; 25 269 as 26 269 one 27 269 who 28 269 in 29 269 that 30 269 miserable 31 269 plight 32 269 still 33 269 turns 34 269 and 35 269 turns 36 269 in 37 269 giddy 38 269 anguish, 39 269 praying 40 269 God 41 269 for 42 269 annihilation 43 269 until 44 269 the 45 269 fit 46 269 be 47 269 passed; 48 269 and 49 269 at 50 269 last 51 269 amid 52 269 the 53 269 whirl 54 269 of 55 269 woe 56 269 he 57 269 feels, 58 269 a 59 269 deep 60 269 stupor 61 269 steals 62 269 over 63 269 him, 64 269 as 65 269 over 66 269 the 67 269 man 68 269 who 69 269 bleeds 70 269 to 71 269 death, 72 269 for 73 269 conscience 74 269 is 75 269 the 76 269 wound, 77 269 and 78 269 there's 79 269 naught 80 269 to 81 269 staunch 82 269 it; 83 269 so, 84 269 after 85 269 sore 86 269 wrestlings 87 269 in 88 269 his 89 269 berth, 90 269 Jonah's 91 269 prodigy 92 269 of 93 269 ponderous 94 269 misery 95 269 drags 96 269 him 97 269 drowning 98 269 down 99 269 to 100 269 sleep. 101 269 "And 102 269 now 103 269 the 104 269 time 105 269 of 106 269 tide 107 269 has 108 269 come; 109 269 the 110 269 ship 111 269 casts 112 269 off 113 269 her 114 269 cables; 115 269 and 116 269 from 117 269 the 118 269 deserted 119 269 wharf 120 269 the 121 269 uncheered 122 269 ship 123 269 for 124 269 Tarshish, 125 269 all 126 269 careening, 127 269 glides 128 269 to 129 269 sea. 130 269 That 131 269 ship, 132 269 my 133 269 friends, 134 269 was 135 269 the 136 269 first 137 269 of 138 269 recorded 139 269 smugglers! 140 269 the 141 269 contraband 142 269 was 143 269 Jonah. 144 269 But 145 269 the 146 269 sea 147 269 rebels; 148 269 he 149 269 will 150 269 not 151 269 bear 152 269 the 153 269 wicked 154 269 burden. 155 269 A 156 269 dreadful 157 269 storm 158 269 comes 159 269 on, 160 269 the 161 269 ship 162 269 is 163 269 like 164 269 to 165 269 break. 166 269 But 167 269 now 168 269 when 169 269 the 170 269 boatswain 171 269 calls 172 269 all 173 269 hands 174 269 to 175 269 lighten 176 269 her; 177 269 when 178 269 boxes, 179 269 bales, 180 269 and 181 269 jars 182 269 are 183 269 clattering 184 269 overboard; 185 269 when 186 269 the 187 269 wind 188 269 is 189 269 shrieking, 190 269 and 191 269 the 192 269 men 193 269 are 194 269 yelling, 195 269 and 196 269 every 197 269 plank 198 269 thunders 199 269 with 200 269 trampling 201 269 feet 202 269 right 203 269 over 204 269 Jonah's 205 269 head; 206 269 in 207 269 all 208 269 this 209 269 raging 210 269 tumult, 211 269 Jonah 212 269 sleeps 213 269 his 214 269 hideous 215 269 sleep. 216 269 He 217 269 sees 218 269 no 219 269 black 220 269 sky 221 269 and 222 269 raging 223 269 sea, 224 269 feels 225 269 not 226 269 the 227 269 reeling 228 269 timbers, 229 269 and 230 269 little 231 269 hears 232 269 he 233 269 or 234 269 heeds 235 269 he 236 269 the 237 269 far 238 269 rush 239 269 of 240 269 the 241 269 mighty 242 269 whale, 243 269 which 244 269 even 245 269 now 246 269 with 247 269 open 248 269 mouth 249 269 is 250 269 cleaving 251 269 the 252 269 seas 253 269 after 254 269 him. 255 269 Aye, 256 269 shipmates, 257 269 Jonah 258 269 was 259 269 gone 260 269 down 261 269 into 262 269 the 263 269 sides 264 269 of 265 269 the 266 269 ship--a 267 269 berth 268 269 in 1 270 the 7 270 cabin 11 270 as 13 270 I 17 270 have 19 270 taken 23 270 it, 29 270 and 31 270 was 37 270 fast 41 270 asleep. 43 270 But 47 270 the 49 270 frightened 53 270 master 59 270 comes 61 270 to 67 270 him, 71 270 and 73 270 shrieks 77 270 in 79 270 his 83 270 dead 89 270 ear, 91 270 'What 97 270 meanest 101 270 thou, 103 270 O, 107 270 sleeper! 109 270 arise!' 113 270 Startled 119 270 from 121 270 his 127 270 lethargy 131 270 by 133 270 that 137 270 direful 139 270 cry, 143 270 Jonah 149 270 staggers 151 270 to 157 270 his 161 270 feet, 163 270 and 167 270 stumbling 169 270 to 173 270 the 179 270 deck, 181 270 grasps 187 270 a 191 270 shroud, 193 270 to 197 270 look 199 270 out 203 270 upon 209 270 the 211 270 sea. 217 270 But 221 270 at 223 270 that 227 270 moment 229 270 he 233 270 is 239 270 sprung 241 270 upon 247 270 by 251 270 a 253 270 panther 257 270 billow 259 270 leaping 263 270 over 269 270 the 1 271 bulwarks. 2 271 Wave 3 271 after 4 271 wave 5 271 thus 6 271 leaps 7 271 into 8 271 the 9 271 ship, 10 271 and 11 271 finding 12 271 no 13 271 speedy 14 271 vent 15 271 runs 16 271 roaring 17 271 fore 18 271 and 19 271 aft, 20 271 till 21 271 the 22 271 mariners 23 271 come 24 271 nigh 25 271 to 26 271 drowning 27 271 while 28 271 yet 29 271 afloat. 30 271 And 31 271 ever, 32 271 as 33 271 the 34 271 white 35 271 moon 36 271 shows 37 271 her 38 271 affrighted 39 271 face 40 271 from 41 271 the 42 271 steep 43 271 gullies 44 271 in 45 271 the 46 271 blackness 47 271 overhead, 48 271 aghast 49 271 Jonah 50 271 sees 51 271 the 52 271 rearing 53 271 bowsprit 54 271 pointing 55 271 high 56 271 upward, 57 271 but 58 271 soon 59 271 beat 60 271 downward 61 271 again 62 271 towards 63 271 the 64 271 tormented 65 271 deep. 66 271 "Terrors 67 271 upon 68 271 terrors 69 271 run 70 271 shouting 71 271 through 72 271 his 73 271 soul. 74 271 In 75 271 all 76 271 his 77 271 cringing 78 271 attitudes, 79 271 the 80 271 God-fugitive 81 271 is 82 271 now 83 271 too 84 271 plainly 85 271 known. 86 271 The 87 271 sailors 88 271 mark 89 271 him; 90 271 more 91 271 and 92 271 more 93 271 certain 94 271 grow 95 271 their 96 271 suspicions 97 271 of 98 271 him, 99 271 and 100 271 at 101 271 last, 102 271 fully 103 271 to 104 271 test 105 271 the 106 271 truth, 107 271 by 108 271 referring 109 271 the 110 271 whole 111 271 matter 112 271 to 113 271 high 114 271 Heaven, 115 271 they 116 271 fall 117 271 to 118 271 casting 119 271 lots, 120 271 to 121 271 see 122 271 for 123 271 whose 124 271 cause 125 271 this 126 271 great 127 271 tempest 128 271 was 129 271 upon 130 271 them. 131 271 The 132 271 lot 133 271 is 134 271 Jonah's; 135 271 that 136 271 discovered, 137 271 then 138 271 how 139 271 furiously 140 271 they 141 271 mob 142 271 him 143 271 with 144 271 their 145 271 questions. 146 271 'What 147 271 is 148 271 thine 149 271 occupation? 150 271 Whence 151 271 comest 152 271 thou? 153 271 Thy 154 271 country? 155 271 What 156 271 people? 157 271 But 158 271 mark 159 271 now, 160 271 my 161 271 shipmates, 162 271 the 163 271 behavior 164 271 of 165 271 poor 166 271 Jonah. 167 271 The 168 271 eager 169 271 mariners 170 271 but 171 271 ask 172 271 him 173 271 who 174 271 he 175 271 is, 176 271 and 177 271 where 178 271 from; 179 271 whereas, 180 271 they 181 271 not 182 271 only 183 271 receive 184 271 an 185 271 answer 186 271 to 187 271 those 188 271 questions, 189 271 but 190 271 likewise 191 271 another 192 271 answer 193 271 to 194 271 a 195 271 question 196 271 not 197 271 put 198 271 by 199 271 them, 200 271 but 201 271 the 202 271 unsolicited 203 271 answer 204 271 is 205 271 forced 206 271 from 207 271 Jonah 208 271 by 209 271 the 210 271 hard 211 271 hand 212 271 of 213 271 God 214 271 that 215 271 is 216 271 upon 217 271 him. 218 271 "'I 219 271 am 220 271 a 221 271 Hebrew,' 222 271 he 223 271 cries--and 224 271 then--'I 225 271 fear 226 271 the 227 271 Lord 228 271 the 229 271 God 230 271 of 231 271 Heaven 232 271 who 233 271 hath 234 271 made 235 271 the 236 271 sea 237 271 and 238 271 the 239 271 dry 240 271 land!' 241 271 Fear 242 271 him, 243 271 O 244 271 Jonah? 245 271 Aye, 246 271 well 247 271 mightest 248 271 thou 249 271 fear 250 271 the 251 271 Lord 252 271 God 253 271 THEN! 254 271 Straightway, 255 271 he 256 271 now 257 271 goes 258 271 on 259 271 to 260 271 make 261 271 a 262 271 full 263 271 confession; 264 271 whereupon 265 271 the 266 271 mariners 267 271 became 268 271 more 269 271 and 270 271 more 1 272 appalled, 3 272 but 5 272 still 7 272 are 9 272 pitiful. 11 272 For 13 272 when 15 272 Jonah, 19 272 not 21 272 yet 23 272 supplicating 25 272 God 27 272 for 29 272 mercy, 31 272 since 33 272 he 35 272 but 37 272 too 39 272 well 41 272 knew 43 272 the 45 272 darkness 47 272 of 49 272 his 53 272 deserts,--when 55 272 wretched 57 272 Jonah 59 272 cries 61 272 out 63 272 to 65 272 them 67 272 to 69 272 take 71 272 him 73 272 and 75 272 cast 77 272 him 79 272 forth 81 272 into 83 272 the 87 272 sea, 89 272 for 91 272 he 93 272 knew 95 272 that 97 272 for 99 272 HIS 101 272 sake 103 272 this 105 272 great 107 272 tempest 109 272 was 111 272 upon 113 272 them; 115 272 they 117 272 mercifully 121 272 turn 123 272 from 125 272 him, 127 272 and 129 272 seek 131 272 by 133 272 other 135 272 means 137 272 to 139 272 save 141 272 the 143 272 ship. 145 272 But 147 272 all 149 272 in 151 272 vain; 155 272 the 157 272 indignant 159 272 gale 161 272 howls 163 272 louder; 165 272 then, 167 272 with 169 272 one 171 272 hand 173 272 raised 175 272 invokingly 177 272 to 179 272 God, 181 272 with 183 272 the 185 272 other 189 272 they 191 272 not 193 272 unreluctantly 195 272 lay 197 272 hold 199 272 of 201 272 Jonah. 203 272 "And 205 272 now 207 272 behold 209 272 Jonah 211 272 taken 213 272 up 215 272 as 217 272 an 219 272 anchor 223 272 and 225 272 dropped 227 272 into 229 272 the 231 272 sea; 233 272 when 235 272 instantly 237 272 an 239 272 oily 241 272 calmness 243 272 floats 245 272 out 247 272 from 249 272 the 251 272 east, 253 272 and 257 272 the 259 272 sea 261 272 is 263 272 still, 265 272 as 267 272 Jonah 269 272 carries 271 272 down 1 273 the 2 273 gale 4 273 with 5 273 him, 8 273 leaving 10 273 smooth 11 273 water 16 273 behind. 17 273 He 19 273 goes 20 273 down 22 273 in 23 273 the 25 273 whirling 29 273 heart 31 273 of 32 273 such 34 273 a 37 273 masterless 38 273 commotion 40 273 that 41 273 he 43 273 scarce 44 273 heeds 46 273 the 47 273 moment 50 273 when 53 273 he 55 273 drops 58 273 seething 59 273 into 61 273 the 62 273 yawning 64 273 jaws 67 273 awaiting 68 273 him; 71 273 and 73 273 the 74 273 whale 76 273 shoots-to 79 273 all 80 273 his 82 273 ivory 83 273 teeth, 85 273 like 86 273 so 88 273 many 89 273 white 92 273 bolts, 94 273 upon 95 273 his 97 273 prison. 100 273 Then 101 273 Jonah 103 273 prayed 106 273 unto 107 273 the 109 273 Lord 110 273 out 113 273 of 115 273 the 116 273 fish's 118 273 belly. 121 273 But 122 273 observe 124 273 his 125 273 prayer, 127 273 and 128 273 learn 131 273 a 134 273 weighty 136 273 lesson. 137 273 For 139 273 sinful 142 273 as 145 273 he 146 273 is, 148 273 Jonah 149 273 does 151 273 not 152 273 weep 155 273 and 157 273 wail 158 273 for 160 273 direct 163 273 deliverance. 164 273 He 166 273 feels 167 273 that 170 273 his 172 273 dreadful 173 273 punishment 176 273 is 178 273 just. 179 273 He 181 273 leaves 184 273 all 185 273 his 187 273 deliverance 188 273 to 190 273 God, 191 273 contenting 193 273 himself 194 273 with 197 273 this, 199 273 that 200 273 spite 202 273 of 205 273 all 206 273 his 209 273 pains 211 273 and 212 273 pangs, 214 273 he 215 273 will 218 273 still 220 273 look 223 273 towards 226 273 His 227 273 holy 229 273 temple. 230 273 And 232 273 here, 233 273 shipmates, 235 273 is 236 273 true 239 273 and 241 273 faithful 242 273 repentance; 244 273 not 248 273 clamorous 250 273 for 251 273 pardon, 253 273 but 254 273 grateful 256 273 for 257 273 punishment. 262 273 And 263 273 how 265 273 pleasing 268 273 to 269 273 God 271 273 was 272 273 this 1 274 conduct 3 274 in 5 274 Jonah, 7 274 is 9 274 shown 11 274 in 13 274 the 15 274 eventual 17 274 deliverance 19 274 of 21 274 him 23 274 from 25 274 the 27 274 sea 29 274 and 31 274 the 33 274 whale. 35 274 Shipmates, 37 274 I 39 274 do 41 274 not 43 274 place 45 274 Jonah 47 274 before 49 274 you 51 274 to 53 274 be 55 274 copied 57 274 for 59 274 his 61 274 sin 63 274 but 65 274 I 67 274 do 69 274 place 71 274 him 73 274 before 75 274 you 77 274 as 79 274 a 81 274 model 83 274 for 85 274 repentance. 87 274 Sin 89 274 not; 91 274 but 93 274 if 95 274 you 97 274 do, 99 274 take 101 274 heed 103 274 to 105 274 repent 107 274 of 109 274 it 111 274 like 113 274 Jonah." 115 274 While 117 274 he 119 274 was 121 274 speaking 123 274 these 125 274 words, 127 274 the 129 274 howling 131 274 of 133 274 the 135 274 shrieking, 139 274 slanting 141 274 storm 143 274 without 145 274 seemed 147 274 to 149 274 add 151 274 new 153 274 power 155 274 to 157 274 the 159 274 preacher, 161 274 who, 163 274 when 165 274 describing 167 274 Jonah's 169 274 sea-storm, 171 274 seemed 173 274 tossed 175 274 by 177 274 a 179 274 storm 181 274 himself. 183 274 His 185 274 deep 187 274 chest 189 274 heaved 191 274 as 193 274 with 195 274 a 197 274 ground-swell; 199 274 his 201 274 tossed 203 274 arms 205 274 seemed 207 274 the 209 274 warring 211 274 elements 213 274 at 215 274 work; 217 274 and 219 274 the 221 274 thunders 223 274 that 225 274 rolled 227 274 away 229 274 from 231 274 off 233 274 his 235 274 swarthy 237 274 brow, 239 274 and 241 274 the 243 274 light 245 274 leaping 247 274 from 249 274 his 251 274 eye, 253 274 made 255 274 all 257 274 his 259 274 simple 261 274 hearers 263 274 look 265 274 on 267 274 him 269 274 with 271 274 a 273 274 quick 1 275 fear 2 275 that 3 275 was 4 275 strange 6 275 to 7 275 them. 8 275 There 9 275 now 12 275 came 13 275 a 14 275 lull 16 275 in 17 275 his 18 275 look, 19 275 as 21 275 he 23 275 silently 24 275 turned 26 275 over 27 275 the 28 275 leaves 29 275 of 31 275 the 32 275 Book 34 275 once 36 275 more; 37 275 and, 38 275 at 39 275 last, 41 275 standing 42 275 motionless, 43 275 with 46 275 closed 47 275 eyes, 48 275 for 49 275 the 51 275 moment, 52 275 seemed 53 275 communing 54 275 with 56 275 God 57 275 and 58 275 himself. 59 275 But 61 275 again 62 275 he 63 275 leaned 64 275 over 67 275 towards 68 275 the 69 275 people, 71 275 and 72 275 bowing 73 275 his 74 275 head 76 275 lowly, 78 275 with 79 275 an 81 275 aspect 82 275 of 83 275 the 84 275 deepest 86 275 yet 87 275 manliest 89 275 humility, 91 275 he 92 275 spake 93 275 these 94 275 words: 96 275 "Shipmates, 97 275 God 98 275 has 101 275 laid 102 275 but 103 275 one 104 275 hand 106 275 upon 107 275 you; 108 275 both 109 275 his 111 275 hands 112 275 press 113 275 upon 114 275 me. 116 275 I 117 275 have 118 275 read 119 275 ye 122 275 by 123 275 what 124 275 murky 126 275 light 127 275 may 128 275 be 129 275 mine 131 275 the 133 275 lesson 134 275 that 136 275 Jonah 137 275 teaches 138 275 to 139 275 all 141 275 sinners; 142 275 and 144 275 therefore 146 275 to 147 275 ye, 148 275 and 149 275 still 151 275 more 152 275 to 153 275 me, 156 275 for 157 275 I 158 275 am 159 275 a 161 275 greater 162 275 sinner 163 275 than 164 275 ye. 166 275 And 167 275 now 168 275 how 169 275 gladly 171 275 would 172 275 I 173 275 come 174 275 down 177 275 from 178 275 this 179 275 mast-head 181 275 and 182 275 sit 183 275 on 184 275 the 186 275 hatches 188 275 there 189 275 where 191 275 you 192 275 sit, 193 275 and 194 275 listen 196 275 as 197 275 you 199 275 listen, 201 275 while 202 275 some 203 275 one 204 275 of 206 275 you 207 275 reads 208 275 ME 211 275 that 212 275 other 213 275 and 214 275 more 216 275 awful 217 275 lesson 218 275 which 219 275 Jonah 221 275 teaches 222 275 to 223 275 ME, 224 275 as 226 275 a 227 275 pilot 228 275 of 229 275 the 232 275 living 233 275 God. 234 275 How 236 275 being 237 275 an 238 275 anointed 239 275 pilot-prophet, 241 275 or 243 275 speaker 244 275 of 246 275 true 247 275 things, 248 275 and 249 275 bidden 251 275 by 252 275 the 254 275 Lord 256 275 to 257 275 sound 258 275 those 259 275 unwelcome 261 275 truths 262 275 in 263 275 the 266 275 ears 267 275 of 268 275 a 269 275 wicked 271 275 Nineveh, 272 275 Jonah, 273 275 appalled 274 275 at 1 276 the 5 276 hostility 7 276 he 11 276 should 13 276 raise, 17 276 fled 19 276 from 25 276 his 29 276 mission, 31 276 and 35 276 sought 37 276 to 41 276 escape 43 276 his 47 276 duty 49 276 and 53 276 his 55 276 God 59 276 by 61 276 taking 65 276 ship 67 276 at 71 276 Joppa. 73 276 But 77 276 God 79 276 is 83 276 everywhere; 85 276 Tarshish 89 276 he 91 276 never 95 276 reached. 97 276 As 101 276 we 103 276 have 107 276 seen, 109 276 God 113 276 came 119 276 upon 121 276 him 125 276 in 127 276 the 131 276 whale, 133 276 and 137 276 swallowed 139 276 him 143 276 down 145 276 to 149 276 living 151 276 gulfs 155 276 of 157 276 doom, 163 276 and 167 276 with 169 276 swift 173 276 slantings 175 276 tore 179 276 him 181 276 along 185 276 'into 187 276 the 191 276 midst 193 276 of 197 276 the 199 276 seas,' 203 276 where 205 276 the 209 276 eddying 211 276 depths 215 276 sucked 217 276 him 221 276 ten 223 276 thousand 227 276 fathoms 229 276 down, 233 276 and 235 276 'the 239 276 weeds 241 276 were 245 276 wrapped 247 276 about 251 276 his 257 276 head,' 259 276 and 263 276 all 265 276 the 269 276 watery 271 276 world 275 276 of 1 277 woe 2 277 bowled 3 277 over 4 277 him. 5 277 Yet 6 277 even 7 277 then 8 277 beyond 9 277 the 10 277 reach 11 277 of 12 277 any 13 277 plummet--'out 14 277 of 15 277 the 16 277 belly 17 277 of 18 277 hell'--when 19 277 the 20 277 whale 21 277 grounded 22 277 upon 23 277 the 24 277 ocean's 25 277 utmost 26 277 bones, 27 277 even 28 277 then, 29 277 God 30 277 heard 31 277 the 32 277 engulphed, 33 277 repenting 34 277 prophet 35 277 when 36 277 he 37 277 cried. 38 277 Then 39 277 God 40 277 spake 41 277 unto 42 277 the 43 277 fish; 44 277 and 45 277 from 46 277 the 47 277 shuddering 48 277 cold 49 277 and 50 277 blackness 51 277 of 52 277 the 53 277 sea, 54 277 the 55 277 whale 56 277 came 57 277 breeching 58 277 up 59 277 towards 60 277 the 61 277 warm 62 277 and 63 277 pleasant 64 277 sun, 65 277 and 66 277 all 67 277 the 68 277 delights 69 277 of 70 277 air 71 277 and 72 277 earth; 73 277 and 74 277 'vomited 75 277 out 76 277 Jonah 77 277 upon 78 277 the 79 277 dry 80 277 land;' 81 277 when 82 277 the 83 277 word 84 277 of 85 277 the 86 277 Lord 87 277 came 88 277 a 89 277 second 90 277 time; 91 277 and 92 277 Jonah, 93 277 bruised 94 277 and 95 277 beaten--his 96 277 ears, 97 277 like 98 277 two 99 277 sea-shells, 100 277 still 101 277 multitudinously 102 277 murmuring 103 277 of 104 277 the 105 277 ocean--Jonah 106 277 did 107 277 the 108 277 Almighty's 109 277 bidding. 110 277 And 111 277 what 112 277 was 113 277 that, 114 277 shipmates? 115 277 To 116 277 preach 117 277

lay 67 279 him 68 279 down, 70 279 can 71 279 say 73 279 with 74 279 his 76 279 final 77 279 breath--O 79 279 Father!--chiefly 80 279 known 82 279 to 83 279 me 85 279 by 86 279 Thy 88 279 rod--mortal 89 279 or 91 279 immortal, 92 279 here 94 279 I 95 279 die. 97 279 I 98 279 have 100 279 striven 101 279 to 103 279 be 104 279 Thine, 106 279 more 107 279 than 109 279 to 110 279 be 112 279 this 113 279 world's, 115 279 or 116 279 mine 118 279 own. 119 279 Yet 121 279 this 122 279 is 125 279 nothing: 127 279 I 128 279 leave 130 279 eternity 131 279 to 133 279 Thee; 134 279 for 136 279 what 137 279 is 139 279 man 140 279 that 142 279 he 143 279 should 145 279 live 146 279 out 148 279 the 149 279 lifetime 151 279 of 152 279 his 154 279 God?" 157 279 He 158 279 said 160 279 no 161 279 more, 163 279 but 164 279 slowly 166 279 waving 167 279 a 169 279 benediction, 170 279 covered 172 279 his 173 279 face 175 279 with 176 279 his 178 279 hands, 179 279 and 181 279 so 182 279 remained 184 279 kneeling, 185 279 till 187 279 all 188 279 the 190 279 people 191 279 had 193 279 departed, 194 279 and 196 279 he 197 279 was 199 279 left 200 279 alone 202 279 in 203 279 the 205 279 place. 206 279 CHAPTER 208 279 10 209 279 A 211 279 Bosom 212 279 Friend. 214 279 Returning 215 279 to 218 279 the 220 279 Spouter-Inn 221 279 from 223 279 the 224 279 Chapel, 226 279 I 227 279 found 229 279 Queequeg 230 279 there 232 279 quite 233 279 alone; 235 279 he 236 279 having 238 279 left 239 279 the 241 279 Chapel 242 279 before 244 279 the 245 279 benediction 247 279 some 250 279 time. 251 279 He 253 279 was 254 279 sitting 256 279 on 257 279 a 259 279 bench 260 279 before 262 279 the 263 279 fire, 265 279 with 266 279 his 268 279 feet 269 279 on 271 279 the 272 279 stove 274 279 hearth, 275 279 and 277 279 in 278 279 one 1 280 hand 3 280 was 9 280 holding 11 280 close 13 280 up 17 280 to 19 280 his 23 280 face 27 280 that 29 280 little 31 280 negro 33 280 idol 37 280 of 39 280 his; 41 280 peering 43 280 hard 47 280 into 51 280 its 53 280 face, 57 280 and 59 280 with 61 280 a 67 280 jack-knife 69 280 gently 71 280 whittling 73 280 away 79 280 at 81 280 its 83 280 nose, 87 280 meanwhile 89 280 humming 93 280 to 97 280 himself 99 280 in 101 280 his 103 280 heathenish 107 280 way. 109 280 But 111 280 being 113 280 now 117 280 interrupted, 121 280 he 123 280 put 127 280 up 129 280 the 131 280 image; 137 280 and 139 280 pretty 141 280 soon, 143 280 going 149 280 to 151 280 the 153 280 table, 157 280 took 159 280 up 163 280 a 167 280 large 169 280 book 171 280 there, 173 280 and 177 280 placing 179 280 it 181 280 on 183 280 his 187 280 lap 191 280 began 193 280 counting 197 280 the 199 280 pages 201 280 with 207 280 deliberate 209 280 regularity; 211 280 at 213 280 every 219 280 fiftieth 221 280 page--as 223 280 I 227 280 fancied--stopping 229 280 a 233 280 moment, 237 280 looking 239 280 vacantly 241 280 around 243 280 him, 247 280 and 249 280 giving 251 280 utterance 253 280 to 257 280 a 261 280 long-drawn 263 280 gurgling 267 280 whistle 269 280 of 271 280 astonishment. 277 280 He 279 280 would 1 281 then 2 281 begin 3 281 again 4 281 at 5 281 the 6 281 next 7 281 fifty; 8 281 seeming 9 281 to 10 281 commence 11 281 at 12 281 number 13 281 one 14 281 each 15 281 time, 16 281 as 17 281 though 18 281 he 19 281 could 20 281 not 21 281 count 22 281 more 23 281 than 24 281 fifty, 25 281 and 26 281 it 27 281 was 28 281 only 29 281 by 30 281 such 31 281 a 32 281 large 33 281 number 34 281 of 35 281 fifties 36 281 being 37 281 found 38 281 together, 39 281 that 40 281 his 41 281 astonishment 42 281 at 43 281 the 44 281 multitude 45 281 of 46 281 pages 47 281 was 48 281 excited. 49 281 With 50 281 much 51 281 interest 52 281 I 53 281 sat 54 281 watching 55 281 him. 56 281 Savage 57 281 though 58 281 he 59 281 was, 60 281 and 61 281 hideously 62 281 marred 63 281 about 64 281 the 65 281 face--at 66 281 least 67 281 to 68 281 my 69 281 taste--his 70 281 countenance 71 281 yet 72 281 had 73 281 a 74 281 something 75 281 in 76 281 it 77 281 which 78 281 was 79 281 by 80 281 no 81 281 means 82 281 disagreeable. 83 281 You 84 281 cannot 85 281 hide 86 281 the 87 281 soul. 88 281 Through 89 281 all 90 281 his 91 281 unearthly 92 281 tattooings, 93 281 I 94 281 thought 95 281 I 96 281 saw 97 281 the 98 281 traces 99 281 of 100 281 a 101 281 simple 102 281 honest 103 281 heart; 104 281 and 105 281 in 106 281 his 107 281 large, 108 281 deep 109 281 eyes, 110 281 fiery 111 281 black 112 281 and 113 281 bold, 114 281 there 115 281 seemed 116 281 tokens 117 281 of 118 281 a 119 281 spirit 120 281 that 121 281 would 122 281 dare 123 281 a 124 281 thousand 125 281 devils. 126 281 And 127 281 besides 128 281 all 129 281 this, 130 281 there 131 281 was 132 281 a 133 281 certain 134 281 lofty 135 281 bearing 136 281 about 137 281 the 138 281 Pagan, 139 281 which 140 281 even 141 281 his 142 281 uncouthness 143 281 could 144 281 not 145 281 altogether 146 281 maim. 147 281 He 148 281 looked 149 281 like 150 281 a 151 281 man 152 281 who 153 281 had 154 281 never 155 281 cringed 156 281 and 157 281 never 158 281 had 159 281 had 160 281 a 161 281 creditor. 162 281 Whether 163 281 it 164 281 was, 165 281 too, 166 281 that 167 281 his 168 281 head 169 281 being 170 281 shaved, 171 281 his 172 281 forehead 173 281 was 174 281 drawn 175 281 out 176 281 in 177 281 freer 178 281 and 179 281 brighter 180 281 relief, 181 281 and 182 281 looked 183 281 more 184 281 expansive 185 281 than 186 281 it 187 281 otherwise 188 281 would, 189 281 this 190 281 I 191 281 will 192 281 not 193 281 venture 194 281 to 195 281 decide; 196 281 but 197 281 certain 198 281 it 199 281 was 200 281 his 201 281 head 202 281 was 203 281 phrenologically 204 281 an 205 281 excellent 206 281 one. 207 281 It 208 281 may 209 281 seem 210 281 ridiculous, 211 281 but 212 281 it 213 281 reminded 214 281 me 215 281 of 216 281 General 217 281 Washington's 218 281 head, 219 281 as 220 281 seen 221 281 in 222 281 the 223 281 popular 224 281 busts 225 281 of 226 281 him. 227 281 It 228 281 had 229 281 the 230 281 same 231 281 long 232 281 regularly 233 281 graded 234 281 retreating 235 281 slope 236 281 from 237 281 above 238 281 the 239 281 brows, 240 281 which 241 281 were 242 281 likewise 243 281 very 244 281 projecting, 245 281 like 246 281 two 247 281 long 248 281 promontories 249 281 thickly 250 281 wooded 251 281 on 252 281 top. 253 281 Queequeg 254 281 was 255 281 George 256 281 Washington 257 281 cannibalistically 258 281 developed. 259 281 Whilst 260 281 I 261 281 was 262 281 thus 263 281 closely 264 281 scanning 265 281 him, 266 281 half-pretending 267 281 meanwhile 268 281 to 269 281 be 270 281 looking 271 281 out 272 281 at 273 281 the 274 281 storm 275 281 from 276 281 the 277 281 casement, 278 281 he 279 281 never 280 281 heeded 1 282 my 5 282 presence, 7 282 never 11 282 troubled 13 282 himself 17 282 with 19 282 so 23 282 much 25 282 as 29 282 a 31 282 single 35 282 glance; 37 282 but 41 282 appeared 43 282 wholly 49 282 occupied 53 282 with 55 282 counting 59 282 the 61 282 pages 65 282 of 67 282 the 71 282 marvellous 73 282 book. 77 282 Considering 79 282 how 83 282 sociably 85 282 we 89 282 had 91 282 been 95 282 sleeping 97 282 together 101 282 the 103 282 night 107 282 previous, 109 282 and 113 282 especially 115 282 considering 119 282 the 121 282 affectionate 125 282 arm 127 282 I 131 282 had 133 282 found 137 282 thrown 139 282 over 143 282 me 145 282 upon 149 282 waking 151 282 in 155 282 the 157 282 morning, 161 282 I 163 282 thought 167 282 this 169 282 indifference 173 282 of 175 282 his 179 282 very 181 282 strange. 185 282 But 187 282 savages 191 282 are 193 282 strange 197 282 beings; 199 282 at 203 282 times 205 282 you 209 282 do 211 282 not 215 282 know 217 282 exactly 221 282 how 223 282 to 227 282 take 229 282 them. 233 282 At 239 282 first 241 282 they 245 282 are 247 282 overawing; 251 282 their 253 282 calm 257 282 self-collectedness 259 282 of 263 282 simplicity 265 282 seems 269 282 a 271 282 Socratic 275 282 wisdom. 277 282 I 281 282 had 1 283 noticed 2 283 also 3 283 that 4 283 Queequeg 5 283 never 6 283 consorted 7 283 at 8 283 all, 9 283 or 10 283 but 11 283 very 12 283 little, 13 283 with 14 283 the 15 283 other 16 283 seamen 17 283 in 18 283 the 19 283 inn. 20 283 He 21 283 made 22 283 no 23 283 advances 24 283 whatever; 25 283 appeared 26 283 to 27 283 have 28 283 no 29 283 desire 30 283 to 31 283 enlarge 32 283 the 33 283 circle 34 283 of 35 283 his 36 283 acquaintances. 37 283 All 38 283 this 39 283 struck 40 283 me 41 283 as 42 283 mighty 43 283 singular; 44 283 yet, 45 283 upon 46 283 second 47 283 thoughts, 48 283 there 49 283 was 50 283 something 51 283 almost 52 283 sublime 53 283 in 54 283 it. 55 283 Here 56 283 was 57 283 a 58 283 man 59 283 some 60 283 twenty 61 283 thousand 62 283 miles 63 283 from 64 283 home, 65 283 by 66 283 the 67 283 way 68 283 of 69 283 Cape 70 283 Horn, 71 283 that 72 283 is--which 73 283 was 74 283 the 75 283 only 76 283 way 77 283 he 78 283 could 79 283 get 80 283 there--thrown 81 283 among 82 283 people 83 283 as 84 283 strange 85 283 to 86 283 him 87 283 as 88 283 though 89 283 he 90 283 were 91 283 in 92 283 the 93 283 planet 94 283 Jupiter; 95 283 and 96 283 yet 97 283 he 98 283 seemed 99 283 entirely 100 283 at 101 283 his 102 283 ease; 103 283 preserving 104 283 the 105 283 utmost 106 283 serenity; 107 283 content 108 283 with 109 283 his 110 283 own 111 283 companionship; 112 283 always 113 283 equal 114 283 to 115 283 himself. 116 283 Surely 117 283 this 118 283 was 119 283 a 120 283 touch 121 283 of 122 283 fine 123 283 philosophy; 124 283 though 125 283 no 126 283 doubt 127 283 he 128 283 had 129 283 never 130 283 heard 131 283 there 132 283 was 133 283 such 134 283 a 135 283 thing 136 283 as 137 283 that. 138 283 But, 139 283 perhaps, 140 283 to 141 283 be 142 283 true 143 283 philosophers, 144 283 we 145 283 mortals 146 283 should 147 283 not 148 283 be 149 283 conscious 150 283 of 151 283 so 152 283 living 153 283 or 154 283 so 155 283 striving. 156 283 So 157 283 soon 158 283 as 159 283 I 160 283 hear 161 283 that 162 283 such 163 283 or 164 283 such 165 283 a 166 283 man 167 283 gives 168 283 himself 169 283 out 170 283 for 171 283 a 172 283 philosopher, 173 283 I 174 283 conclude 175 283 that, 176 283 like 177 283 the 178 283 dyspeptic 179 283 old 180 283 woman, 181 283 he 182 283 must 183 283 have 184 283 "broken 185 283 his 186 283 digester." 187 283 As 188 283 I 189 283 sat 190 283 there 191 283 in 192 283 that 193 283 now 194 283 lonely 195 283 room; 196 283 the 197 283 fire 198 283 burning 199 283 low, 200 283 in 201 283 that 202 283 mild 203 283 stage 204 283 when, 205 283 after 206 283 its 207 283 first 208 283 intensity 209 283 has 210 283 warmed 211 283 the 212 283 air, 213 283 it 214 283 then 215 283 only 216 283 glows 217 283 to 218 283 be 219 283 looked 220 283 at; 221 283 the 222 283 evening 223 283 shades 224 283 and 225 283 phantoms 226 283 gathering 227 283 round 228 283 the 229 283 casements, 230 283 and 231 283 peering 232 283 in 233 283 upon 234 283 us 235 283 silent, 236 283 solitary 237 283 twain; 238 283 the 239 283 storm 240 283 booming 241 283 without 242 283 in 243 283 solemn 244 283 swells; 245 283 I 246 283 began 247 283 to 248 283 be 249 283 sensible 250 283 of 251 283 strange 252 283 feelings. 253 283 I 254 283 felt 255 283 a 256 283 melting 257 283 in 258 283 me. 259 283 No 260 283 more 261 283 my 262 283 splintered 263 283 heart 264 283 and 265 283 maddened 266 283 hand 267 283 were 268 283 turned 269 283 against 270 283 the 271 283 wolfish 272 283 world. 273 283 This 274 283 soothing 275 283 savage 276 283 had 277 283 redeemed 278 283 it. 279 283 There 280 283 he 281 283 sat, 282 283 his 1 284 very 3 284 indifference 5 284 speaking 7 284 a 9 284 nature 11 284 in 13 284 which 15 284 there 17 284 lurked 19 284 no 21 284 civilized 23 284 hypocrisies 25 284 and 27 284 bland 29 284 deceits. 31 284 Wild 33 284 he 35 284 was; 37 284 a 39 284 very 41 284 sight 43 284 of 45 284 sights 47 284 to 49 284 see; 51 284 yet 53 284 I 55 284 began 57 284 to 59 284 feel 61 284 myself 63 284 mysteriously 65 284 drawn 67 284 towards 69 284 him. 73 284 And 75 284 those 77 284 same 79 284 things 81 284 that 83 284 would 85 284 have 87 284 repelled 89 284 most 91 284 others, 93 284 they 95 284 were 97 284 the 99 284 very 101 284 magnets 103 284 that 105 284 thus 107 284 drew 109 284 me. 111 284 I'll 113 284 try 115 284 a 117 284 pagan 119 284 friend, 121 284 thought 123 284 I, 125 284 since 127 284 Christian 129 284 kindness 131 284 has 133 284 proved 135 284 but 137 284 hollow 139 284 courtesy. 141 284 I 143 284 drew 145 284 my 147 284 bench 149 284 near 151 284 him, 153 284 and 155 284 made 157 284 some 159 284 friendly 161 284 signs 163 284 and 165 284 hints, 167 284 doing 169 284 my 171 284 best 173 284 to 175 284 talk 177 284 with 179 284 him 181 284 meanwhile. 183 284 At 185 284 first 187 284 he 189 284 little 191 284 noticed 193 284 these 195 284 advances; 197 284 but 199 284 presently, 201 284 upon 203 284 my 205 284 referring 207 284 to 209 284 his 211 284 last 215 284 night's 217 284 hospitalities, 219 284 he 221 284 made 223 284 out 225 284 to 227 284 ask 229 284 me 231 284 whether 233 284 we 235 284 were 237 284 again 239 284 to 241 284 be 243 284 bedfellows. 245 284 I 247 284 told 249 284 him 251 284 yes; 253 284 whereat 255 284 I 257 284 thought 259 284 he 261 284 looked 263 284 pleased, 265 284 perhaps 267 284 a 269 284 little 271 284 complimented. 273 284 We 275 284 then 277 284 turned 279 284 over 281 284 the 283 284 book 1 285 together, 2 285 and 4 285 I 7 285 endeavored 8 285 to 11 285 explain 13 285 to 14 285 him 16 285 the 17 285 purpose 22 285 of 23 285 the 26 285 printing, 28 285 and 29 285 the 31 285 meaning 32 285 of 34 285 the 37 285 few 41 285 pictures 43 285 that 44 285 were 46 285 in 47 285 it. 49 285 Thus 52 285 I 53 285 soon 56 285 engaged 58 285 his 59 285 interest; 61 285 and 62 285 from 64 285 that 67 285 we 68 285 went 71 285 to 73 285 jabbering 74 285 the 77 285 best 79 285 we 82 285 could 83 285 about 86 285 the 88 285 various 89 285 outer 91 285 sights 92 285 to 94 285 be 97 285 seen 98 285 in 101 285 this 103 285 famous 104 285 town. 106 285 Soon 107 285 I 109 285 proposed 112 285 a 113 285 social 116 285 smoke; 118 285 and, 119 285 producing 121 285 his 122 285 pouch 124 285 and 127 285 tomahawk, 128 285 he 131 285 quietly 134 285 offered 136 285 me 137 285 a 139 285 puff. 142 285 And 143 285 then 146 285 we 148 285 sat 149 285 exchanging 151 285 puffs 154 285 from 157 285 that 158 285 wild 161 285 pipe 163 285 of 164 285 his, 166 285 and 167 285 keeping 169 285 it 172 285 regularly 173 285 passing 176 285 between 178 285 us. 179 285 If 181 285 there 182 285 yet 184 285 lurked 187 285 any 188 285 ice 191 285 of 193 285 indifference 194 285 towards 196 285 me 197 285 in 199 285 the 202 285 Pagan's 203 285 breast, 206 285 this 208 285 pleasant, 211 285 genial 212 285 smoke 214 285 we 217 285 had, 218 285 soon 221 285 thawed 223 285 it 224 285 out, 226 285 and 227 285 left 229 285 us 232 285 cronies. 233 285 He 236 285 seemed 238 285 to 239 285 take 241 285 to 242 285 me 244 285 quite 248 285 as 251 285 naturally 253 285 and 254 285 unbiddenly 256 285 as 257 285 I 259 285 to 262 285 him; 263 285 and 268 285 when 269 285 our 271 285 smoke 272 285 was 274 285 over, 277 285 he 278 285 pressed 281 285 his 283 285 forehead 284 285 against 1 286 mine, 3 286 clasped 5 286 me 7 286 round 9 286 the 15 286 waist, 17 286 and 19 286 said 21 286 that 23 286 henceforth 25 286 we 27 286 were 29 286 married; 31 286 meaning, 35 286 in 37 286 his 41 286 country's 43 286 phrase, 45 286 that 47 286 we 49 286 were 51 286 bosom 53 286 friends; 57 286 he 59 286 would 61 286 gladly 63 286 die 67 286 for 69 286 me, 71 286 if 73 286 need 75 286 should 79 286 be. 81 286 In 83 286 a 85 286 countryman, 87 286 this 89 286 sudden 93 286 flame 95 286 of 97 286 friendship 101 286 would 103 286 have 105 286 seemed 107 286 far 109 286 too 111 286 premature, 113 286 a 115 286 thing 119 286 to 123 286 be 125 286 much 127 286 distrusted; 129 286 but 131 286 in 133 286 this 135 286 simple 137 286 savage 139 286 those 141 286 old 145 286 rules 147 286 would 149 286 not 151 286 apply. 153 286 After 155 286 supper, 157 286 and 159 286 another 161 286 social 163 286 chat 167 286 and 171 286 smoke, 173 286 we 175 286 went 177 286 to 179 286 our 181 286 room 183 286 together. 185 286 He 189 286 made 191 286 me 193 286 a 197 286 present 199 286 of 201 286 his 203 286 embalmed 205 286 head; 207 286 took 211 286 out 213 286 his 215 286 enormous 217 286 tobacco 219 286 wallet, 223 286 and 225 286 groping 227 286 under 229 286 the 233 286 tobacco, 235 286 drew 237 286 out 239 286 some 241 286 thirty 243 286 dollars 245 286 in 249 286 silver; 251 286 then 255 286 spreading 257 286 them 259 286 on 261 286 the 263 286 table, 265 286 and 267 286 mechanically 269 286 dividing 271 286 them 277 286 into 279 286 two 281 286 equal 283 286 portions, 285 286 pushed 1 287 one 2 287 of 3 287 them 4 287 towards 5 287 me, 6 287 and 8 287 said 9 287 it 10 287 was 11 287 mine. 12 287 I 13 287 was 15 287 going 16 287 to 17 287 remonstrate; 18 287 but 19 287 he 20 287 silenced 22 287 me 23 287 by 24 287 pouring 25 287 them 26 287 into 27 287 my 29 287 trowsers' 30 287 pockets. 31 287 I 32 287 let 33 287 them 34 287 stay. 36 287 He 37 287 then 38 287 went 39 287 about 40 287 his 43 287 evening 44 287 prayers, 45 287 took 46 287 out 47 287 his 48 287 idol, 50 287 and 51 287 removed 52 287 the 53 287 paper 54 287 fireboard. 55 287 By 57 287 certain 58 287 signs 59 287 and 60 287 symptoms, 61 287 I 62 287 thought 64 287 he 65 287 seemed 66 287 anxious 67 287 for 68 287 me 69 287 to 71 287 join 72 287 him; 73 287 but 74 287 well 75 287 knowing 76 287 what 78 287 was 79 287 to 80 287 follow, 81 287 I 83 287 deliberated 85 287 a 86 287 moment 87 287 whether, 88 287 in 89 287 case 90 287 he 92 287 invited 93 287 me, 94 287 I 95 287 would 96 287 comply 97 287 or 99 287 otherwise. 100 287 I 101 287 was 102 287 a 103 287 good 104 287 Christian; 106 287 born 107 287 and 108 287 bred 109 287 in 110 287 the 111 287 bosom 113 287 of 114 287 the 115 287 infallible 116 287 Presbyterian 117 287 Church. 118 287 How 120 287 then 121 287 could 122 287 I 124 287 unite 125 287 with 127 287 this 128 287 wild 129 287 idolator 130 287 in 131 287 worshipping 132 287 his 134 287 piece 135 287 of 136 287 wood? 137 287 But 138 287 what 139 287 is 141 287 worship? 142 287 thought 143 287 I. 144 287 Do 145 287 you 146 287 suppose 148 287 now, 149 287 Ishmael, 150 287 that 151 287 the 152 287 magnanimous 153 287 God 155 287 of 156 287 heaven 157 287 and 158 287 earth--pagans 159 287 and 160 287 all 162 287 included--can 163 287 possibly 165 287 be 166 287 jealous 167 287 of 169 287 an 170 287 insignificant 171 287 bit 172 287 of 173 287 black 174 287 wood? 176 287 Impossible! 177 287 But 178 287 what 179 287 is 180 287 worship?--to 181 287 do 183 287 the 184 287 will 185 287 of 186 287 God--THAT 187 287 is 188 287 worship. 190 287 And 191 287 what 192 287 is 193 287 the 194 287 will 195 287 of 197 287 God?--to 198 287 do 199 287 to 200 287 my 201 287 fellow 202 287 man 204 287 what 206 287 I 207 287 would 208 287 have 209 287 my 211 287 fellow 212 287 man 213 287 to 214 287 do 215 287 to 216 287 me--THAT 218 287 is 219 287 the 220 287 will 221 287 of 222 287 God. 223 287 Now, 225 287 Queequeg 226 287 is 227 287 my 228 287 fellow 229 287 man. 230 287 And 232 287 what 233 287 do 234 287 I 235 287 wish 236 287 that 237 287 this 239 287 Queequeg 240 287 would 241 287 do 242 287 to 243 287 me? 244 287 Why, 247 287 unite 248 287 with 249 287 me 250 287 in 251 287 my 253 287 particular 254 287 Presbyterian 255 287 form 256 287 of 257 287 worship. 258 287 Consequently, 260 287 I 261 287 must 262 287 then 263 287 unite 264 287 with 265 287 him 267 287 in 268 287 his; 269 287 ergo, 270 287 I 271 287 must 272 287 turn 274 287 idolator. 275 287 So 276 287 I 277 287 kindled 278 287 the 279 287 shavings; 281 287 helped 282 287 prop 283 287 up 284 287 the 285 287 innocent 286 287 little 1 288 idol; 5 288 offered 7 288 him 11 288 burnt 13 288 biscuit 17 288 with 19 288 Queequeg; 23 288 salamed 25 288 before 29 288 him 31 288 twice 35 288 or 37 288 thrice; 41 288 kissed 43 288 his 47 288 nose; 49 288 and 53 288 that 55 288 done, 59 288 we 61 288 undressed 65 288 and 67 288 went 71 288 to 73 288 bed, 77 288 at 79 288 peace 83 288 with 85 288 our 89 288 own 91 288 consciences 95 288 and 97 288 all 101 288 the 103 288 world. 107 288 But 109 288 we 113 288 did 115 288 not 119 288 go 121 288 to 125 288 sleep 127 288 without 131 288 some 133 288 little 137 288 chat. 139 288 How 143 288 it 145 288 is 149 288 I 151 288 know 155 288 not; 157 288 but 161 288 there 163 288 is 167 288 no 169 288 place 173 288 like 175 288 a 179 288 bed 181 288 for 185 288 confidential 187 288 disclosures 191 288 between 193 288 friends. 197 288 Man 199 288 and 203 288 wife, 205 288 they 209 288 say, 211 288 there 215 288 open 217 288 the 221 288 very

288 over 271 288 old 275 288 times 277 288 till 281 288 nearly 283 288 morning. 287 288 Thus, 1 289 then, 2 289 in 3 289 our 4 289 hearts' 5 289 honeymoon, 6 289 lay 7 289 I 8 289 and 9 289 Queequeg--a 10 289 cosy, 11 289 loving 12 289 pair. 13 289 CHAPTER 14 289 11 15 289 Nightgown. 16 289 We 18 289 had 19 289 lain 20 289 thus 21 289 in 22 289 bed, 23 289 chatting 24 289 and 25 289 napping 26 289 at 27 289 short 28 289 intervals, 29 289 and 30 289 Queequeg 31 289 now 32 289 and 33 289 then 35 289 affectionately 36 289 throwing 37 289 his 38 289 brown 39 289 tattooed 40 289 legs 41 289 over 42 289 mine, 43 289 and 44 289 then 45 289 drawing 46 289 them 47 289 back; 48 289 so 49 289 entirely 50 289 sociable 52 289 and 53 289 free 54 289 and 55 289 easy 56 289 were 57 289 we; 58 289 when, 59 289 at 60 289 last, 61 289 by 62 289 reason 63 289 of 64 289 our 65 289 confabulations, 66 289 what 67 289 little 69 289 nappishness 70 289 remained 71 289 in 72 289 us 73 289 altogether 74 289 departed, 75 289 and 76 289 we 77 289 felt 78 289 like 79 289 getting 80 289 up 81 289 again, 82 289 though 83 289 day-break 84 289 was 86 289 yet 87 289 some 88 289 way 89 289 down 90 289 the 91 289 future. 92 289 Yes, 93 289 we 94 289 became 95 289 very 96 289 wakeful; 97 289 so 98 289 much 99 289 so 100 289 that 101 289 our 103 289 recumbent 104 289 position 105 289 began 106 289 to 107 289 grow 108 289 wearisome, 109 289 and 110 289 by 111 289 little 112 289 and 113 289 little 114 289 we 115 289 found 116 289 ourselves 117 289 sitting 118 289 up; 120 289 the 121 289 clothes 122 289 well 123 289 tucked 124 289 around 125 289 us, 126 289 leaning 127 289 against 128 289 the 129 289 head-board 130 289 with 131 289 our 132 289 four 133 289 knees 134 289 drawn 135 289 up 137 289 close 138 289 together, 139 289 and 140 289 our 141 289 two 142 289 noses 143 289 bending 144 289 over 145 289 them, 146 289 as 147 289 if 148 289 our 149 289 kneepans 150 289 were 151 289 warming-pans. 152 289 We 154 289 felt 155 289 very 156 289 nice 157 289 and 158 289 snug, 159 289 the 160 289 more 161 289 so 162 289 since 163 289 it 164 289 was 165 289 so 166 289 chilly 167 289 out 168 289 of 169 289 doors; 171 289 indeed 172 289 out 173 289 of 174 289 bed-clothes 175 289 too, 176 289 seeing 177 289 that 178 289 there 179 289 was 180 289 no 181 289 fire 182 289 in 183 289 the 184 289 room. 185 289 The 186 289 more 188 289 so, 189 289 I 190 289 say, 191 289 because 192 289 truly 193 289 to 194 289 enjoy 195 289 bodily 196 289 warmth, 197 289 some 198 289 small 199 289 part 200 289 of 201 289 you 202 289 must 203 289 be 205 289 cold, 206 289 for 207 289 there 208 289 is 209 289 no 210 289 quality 211 289 in 212 289 this 213 289 world 214 289 that 215 289 is 216 289 not 217 289 what 218 289 it 219 289 is 220 289 merely 222 289 by 223 289 contrast. 224 289 Nothing 225 289 exists 226 289 in 227 289 itself. 228 289 If 229 289 you 230 289 flatter 231 289 yourself 232 289 that 233 289 you 234 289 are 235 289 all 236 289 over 237 289 comfortable, 239 289 and 240 289 have 241 289 been 242 289 so 243 289 a 244 289 long 245 289 time, 246 289 then 247 289 you 248 289 cannot 249 289 be 250 289 said 251 289 to 252 289 be 253 289 comfortable 254 289 any 256 289 more. 257 289 But 258 289 if, 259 289 like 260 289 Queequeg 261 289 and 262 289 me 263 289 in 264 289 the 265 289 bed, 266 289 the 267 289 tip 268 289 of 269 289 your 270 289 nose 271 289 or 273 289 the 274 289 crown 275 289 of 276 289 your 277 289 head 278 289 be 279 289 slightly 280 289 chilled, 281 289 why 282 289 then, 283 289 indeed, 284 289 in 285 289 the 286 289 general 287 289 consciousness 288 289 you 1 290 feel 3 290 most 7 290 delightfully 9 290 and 11 290 unmistakably 13 290 warm. 17 290 For 19 290 this 21 290 reason 23 290 a 27 290 sleeping 31 290 apartment 33 290 should 37 290 never 39 290 be 41 290 furnished 43 290 with 47 290 a 49 290 fire, 51 290 which 53 290 is 57 290 one 59 290 of 61 290 the 63 290 luxurious 67 290 discomforts 69 290 of 71 290 the 73 290 rich. 77 290 For 79 290 the 81 290 height 83 290 of 89 290 this 91 290 sort 93 290 of 97 290 deliciousness 99 290 is 101 290 to 103 290 have 107 290 nothing 109 290 but 111 290 the 113 290 blanket 117 290 between 119 290 you 121 290 and 123 290 your 127 290 snugness 129 290 and 131 290 the 133 290 cold 137 290 of 139 290 the 141 290 outer 143 290 air. 147 290 Then 149 290 there 151 290 you 153 290 lie 157 290 like 159 290 the 161 290 one 163 290 warm 167 290 spark 169 290 in 171 290 the 173 290 heart 177 290 of 179 290 an 181 290 arctic 183 290 crystal. 187 290 We 189 290 had 191 290 been 193 290 sitting 197 290 in 199 290 this 201 290 crouching 207 290 manner 209 290 for 211 290 some 213 290 time, 217 290 when 219 290 all 221 290 at 223 290 once 227 290 I 229 290 thought 231 290 I 233 290 would 237 290 open 239 290 my 241 290 eyes; 243 290 for 247 290 when 249 290 between 251 290 sheets, 253 290 whether 257 290 by 259 290 day 263 290 or 267 290 by 269 290 night, 271 290 and 273 290 whether 277 290 asleep 279 290 or 281 290 awake, 283 290 I 287 290 have 289 290 a 1 291 way 2 291 of 4 291 always 5 291 keeping 7 291 my 8 291 eyes 10 291 shut, 11 291 in 13 291 order 14 291 the 16 291 more 17 291 to 19 291 concentrate 20 291 the 22 291 snugness 23 291 of 25 291 being 26 291 in 28 291 bed. 29 291 Because 31 291 no 32 291 man 34 291 can 35 291 ever 37 291 feel 38 291 his 40 291 own 41 291 identity 43 291 aright 44 291 except 46 291 his 47 291 eyes 49 291 be 50 291 closed; 52 291 as 53 291 if 55 291 darkness 56 291 were 58 291 indeed 59 291 the 61 291 proper 62 291 element 64 291 of 65 291 our 67 291 essences, 68 291 though 70 291 light 71 291 be 73 291 more 74 291 congenial 76 291 to 77 291 our 79 291 clayey 80 291 part. 82 291 Upon 83 291 opening 85 291 my 86 291 eyes 88 291 then, 89 291 and 91 291 coming 92 291 out 94 291 of 95 291 my 98 291 own 100 291 pleasant 101 291 and 103 291 self-created 104 291 darkness 106 291 into 107 291 the 109 291 imposed 110 291 and 112 291 coarse 113 291 outer 115 291 gloom 116 291 of 118 291 the 119 291 unilluminated 121 291 twelve-o'clock-at-night, 122 291 I 124 291 experienced 125 291 a 127 291 disagreeable 128 291 revulsion. 130 291 Nor 131 291 did 133 291 I 134 291 at 136 291 all 137 291 object 139 291 to 140 291 the 142 291 hint 143 291 from 145 291 Queequeg 146 291 that 148 291 perhaps 149 291 it 151 291 were 152 291 best 154 291 to 155 291 strike 157 291 a 158 291 light, 160 291 seeing 161 291 that 163 291 we 164 291 were 166 291 so 167 291 wide 169 291 awake; 170 291 and 172 291 besides 173 291 he 175 291 felt 176 291 a 178 291 strong 179 291 desire 181 291 to 182 291 have 184 291 a 185 291 few 187 291 quiet 188 291 puffs 190 291 from 191 291 his 193 291 Tomahawk. 196 291 Be 197 291 it 199 291 said, 200 291 that 202 291 though 203 291 I 205 291 had 206 291 felt 208 291 such 209 291 a 211 291 strong 212 291 repugnance 214 291 to 215 291 his 217 291 smoking 218 291 in 220 291 the 221 291 bed 223 291 the 224 291 night 226 291 before, 227 291 yet 229 291 see 230 291 how 232 291 elastic 233 291 our 235 291 stiff 236 291 prejudices 238 291 grow 239 291 when 241 291 love 242 291 once 244 291 comes 245 291 to 247 291 bend 248 291 them. 250 291 For 251 291 now 253 291 I 254 291 liked 256 291 nothing 257 291 better 259 291 than 260 291 to 262 291 have 263 291 Queequeg 265 291 smoking 266 291 by 268 291 me, 269 291 even 271 291 in 272 291 bed, 274 291 because 275 291 he 277 291 seemed 278 291 to 280 291 be 281 291 full 283 291 of 284 291 such 286 291 serene 287 291 household 289 291 joy 290 291 then. 1 292 I 3 292 no 5 292 more 7 292 felt 9 292 unduly 11 292 concerned 13 292 for 15 292 the 17 292 landlord's 19 292 policy 21 292 of 23 292 insurance. 25 292 I 27 292 was 29 292 only 31 292 alive 33 292 to 35 292 the 37 292 condensed 39 292 confidential 41 292 comfortableness 43 292 of 45 292 sharing 47 292 a 49 292 pipe 51 292 and 53 292 a 55 292 blanket 57 292 with 59 292 a 61 292 real 63 292 friend. 65 292 With 67 292 our 69 292 shaggy 71 292 jackets 75 292 drawn 77 292 about 79 292 our 81 292 shoulders, 83 292 we 85 292 now 87 292 passed 89 292 the 91 292 Tomahawk 93 292 from 95 292 one 97 292 to 99 292 the 101 292 other, 103 292 till 105 292 slowly 107 292 there 109 292 grew 111 292 over 113 292 us 115 292 a 117 292 blue 119 292 hanging 121 292 tester 123 292 of 125 292 smoke, 127 292 illuminated 129 292 by 131 292 the 133 292 flame 135 292 of 137 292 the 139 292 new-lit 141 292 lamp. 143 292 Whether 145 292 it 147 292 was 149 292 that 151 292 this 153 292 undulating 155 292 tester 157 292 rolled 159 292 the 161 292 savage 163 292 away 165 292 to 167 292 far 169 292 distant 171 292 scenes, 173 292 I 175 292 know 177 292 not, 179 292 but 181 292 he 183 292 now 185 292 spoke 187 292 of 189 292 his 191 292 native 193 292 island; 195 292 and, 197 292 eager 199 292 to 201 292 hear 203 292 his 205 292 history, 207 292 I 209 292 begged 211 292 him 213 292 to 215 292 go 217 292 on 221 292 and 223 292 tell 225 292 it. 227 292 He 229 292 gladly 231 292 complied. 233 292 Though 235 292 at 237 292 the 239 292 time 241 292 I 243 292 but 245 292 ill 247 292 comprehended 249 292 not 251 292 a 253 292 few 255 292 of 257 292 his 259 292 words, 261 292 yet 263 292 subsequent 265 292 disclosures, 267 292 when 269 292 I 271 292 had 273 292 become 275 292 more 277 292 familiar 279 292 with 281 292 his 283 292 broken 285 292 phraseology, 287 292 now 289 292 enable 291 292 me 1 293 to 2 293 present 3 293 the 4 293 whole 5 293 story 6 293 such 7 293 as 8 293 it 9 293 may 10 293 prove 11 293 in 12 293 the 13 293 mere 14 293 skeleton 15 293 I 16 293 give. 17 293 CHAPTER 18 293 12 19 293 Biographical. 20 293 Queequeg 21 293 was 22 293 a 23 293 native 24 293 of 25 293 Rokovoko, 26 293 an 27 293 island 28 293 far 29 293 away 30 293 to 31 293 the 32 293 West 33 293 and 34 293 South. 35 293 It 36 293 is 37 293 not 38 293 down 39 293 in 40 293 any 41 293 map; 42 293 true 43 293 places 44 293 never 45 293 are. 46 293 When 47 293 a 48 293 new-hatched 49 293 savage 50 293 running 51 293 wild 52 293 about 53 293 his 54 293 native 55 293 woodlands 56 293 in 57 293 a 58 293 grass 59 293 clout, 60 293 followed 61 293 by 62 293 the 63 293 nibbling 64 293 goats, 65 293 as 66 293 if 67 293 he 68 293 were 69 293 a 70 293 green 71 293 sapling; 72 293 even 73 293 then, 74 293 in 75 293 Queequeg's 76 293 ambitious 77 293 soul, 78 293 lurked 79 293 a 80 293 strong 81 293 desire 82 293 to 83 293 see 84 293 something 85 293 more 86 293 of 87 293 Christendom 88 293 than 89 293 a 90 293 specimen 91 293 whaler 92 293 or 93 293 two. 94 293 His 95 293 father 96 293 was 97 293 a 98 293 High 99 293 Chief, 100 293 a 101 293 King; 102 293 his 103 293 uncle 104 293 a 105 293 High 106 293 Priest; 107 293 and 108 293 on 109 293 the 110 293 maternal 111 293 side 112 293 he 113 293 boasted 114 293 aunts 115 293 who 116 293 were 117 293 the 118 293 wives 119 293 of 120 293 unconquerable 121 293 warriors. 122 293 There 123 293 was 124 293 excellent 125 293 blood 126 293 in 127 293 his 128 293 veins--royal 129 293 stuff; 130 293 though 131 293 sadly 132 293 vitiated, 133 293 I 134 293 fear, 135 293 by 136 293 the 137 293 cannibal 138 293 propensity 139 293 he 140 293 nourished 141 293 in 142 293 his 143 293 untutored 144 293 youth. 145 293 A 146 293 Sag 147 293 Harbor 148 293 ship 149 293 visited 150 293 his 151 293 father's 152 293 bay, 153 293 and 154 293 Queequeg 155 293 sought 156 293 a 157 293 passage 158 293 to 159 293 Christian 160 293 lands. 161 293 But 162 293 the 163 293 ship, 164 293 having 165 293 her 166 293 full 167 293 complement 168 293 of 169 293 seamen, 170 293 spurned 171 293 his 172 293 suit; 173 293 and 174 293 not 175 293 all 176 293 the 177 293 King 178 293 his 179 293 father's 180 293 influence 181 293 could 182 293 prevail. 183 293 But 184 293 Queequeg 185 293 vowed 186 293 a 187 293 vow. 188 293 Alone 189 293 in 190 293 his 191 293 canoe, 192 293 he 193 293 paddled 194 293 off 195 293 to 196 293 a 197 293 distant 198 293 strait, 199 293 which 200 293 he 201 293 knew 202 293 the 203 293 ship 204 293 must 205 293 pass 206 293 through 207 293 when 208 293 she 209 293 quitted 210 293 the 211 293 island. 212 293 On 213 293 one 214 293 side 215 293 was 216 293 a 217 293 coral 218 293 reef; 219 293 on 220 293 the 221 293 other 222 293 a 223 293 low 224 293 tongue 225 293 of 226 293 land, 227 293 covered 228 293 with 229 293 mangrove 230 293 thickets 231 293 that 232 293 grew 233 293 out 234 293 into 235 293 the 236 293 water. 237 293 Hiding 238 293 his 239 293 canoe, 240 293 still 241 293 afloat, 242 293 among 243 293 these 244 293 thickets, 245 293 with 246 293 its 247 293 prow 248 293 seaward, 249 293 he 250 293 sat 251 293 down 252 293 in 253 293 the 254 293 stern, 255 293 paddle 256 293 low 257 293 in 258 293 hand; 259 293 and 260 293 when 261 293 the 262 293 ship 263 293 was 264 293 gliding 265 293 by, 266 293 like 267 293 a 268 293 flash 269 293 he 270 293 darted 271 293 out; 272 293 gained 273 293 her 274 293 side; 275 293 with 276 293 one 277 293 backward 278 293 dash 279 293 of 280 293 his 281 293 foot 282 293 capsized 283 293 and 284 293 sank 285 293 his 286 293 canoe; 287 293 climbed 288 293 up 289 293 the 290 293 chains; 291 293 and 292 293 throwing 1 294 himself 5 294 at 11 294 full 13 294 length 17 294 upon 19 294 the 23 294 deck, 25 294 grappled 29 294 a 31 294 ring-bolt 37 294 there, 41 294 and 43 294 swore 47 294 not 53 294 to 55 294 let 59 294 it 61 294 go, 65 294 though 67 294 hacked 71 294 in 73 294 pieces. 79 294 In 83 294 vain 85 294 the 89 294 captain 95 294 threatened 97 294 to 101 294 throw 103 294 him 107 294 overboard; 109 294 suspended 113 294 a 115 294 cutlass 121 294 over 125 294 his 127 294 naked 131 294 wrists; 137 294 Queequeg 139 294 was 143 294 the 145 294 son 149 294 of 151 294 a 155 294 King, 157 294 and 163 294 Queequeg 167 294 budged 169 294 not. 173 294 Struck 179 294 by 181 294 his 185 294 desperate 187 294 dauntlessness, 191 294 and 193 294 his 197 294 wild 199 294 desire 205 294 to 209 294 visit 211 294 Christendom, 215 294 the 221 294 captain 223 294 at 227 294 last 229 294 relented, 233 294 and 235 294 told 239 294 him 241 294 he 247 294 might 251 294 make 253 294 himself 257 294 at 263 294 home. 265 294 But 269 294 this 271 294 fine 275 294 young 277 294 savage--this 281 294 sea 283 294 Prince 289 294 of 293 294 Wales, 1 295 never 2 295 saw 3 295 the 4 295 Captain's 6 295 cabin. 7 295 They 8 295 put 9 295 him 11 295 down 12 295 among 13 295 the 14 295 sailors, 16 295 and 17 295 made 18 295 a 19 295 whaleman 21 295 of 22 295 him. 23 295 But 24 295 like 26 295 Czar 27 295 Peter 28 295 content 29 295 to 31 295 toil 32 295 in 33 295 the 34 295 shipyards 36 295 of 37 295 foreign 38 295 cities, 39 295 Queequeg 41 295 disdained 42 295 no 43 295 seeming 44 295 ignominy, 46 295 if 47 295 thereby 48 295 he 49 295 might 51 295 happily 52 295 gain 53 295 the 54 295 power 56 295 of 57 295 enlightening 58 295 his 61 295 untutored 62 295 countrymen. 63 295 For 64 295 at 66 295 bottom--so 67 295 he 68 295 told 69 295 me--he 71 295 was 72 295 actuated 73 295 by 74 295 a 76 295 profound 77 295 desire 78 295 to 79 295 learn 81 295 among 82 295 the 83 295 Christians, 84 295 the 86 295 arts 87 295 whereby 88 295 to 89 295 make 91 295 his 92 295 people 93 295 still 94 295 happier 96 295 than 97 295 they 98 295 were; 99 295 and 101 295 more 102 295 than 103 295 that, 104 295 still 106 295 better 107 295 than 108 295 they 109 295 were. 111 295 But, 112 295 alas! 113 295 the 114 295 practices 116 295 of 117 295 whalemen 119 295 soon 121 295 convinced 122 295 him 123 295 that 124 295 even 126 295 Christians 127 295 could 128 295 be 129 295 both 131 295 miserable 132 295 and 133 295 wicked; 134 295 infinitely 136 295 more 137 295 so, 138 295 than 139 295 all 141 295 his 142 295 father's 143 295 heathens. 144 295 Arrived 146 295 at 147 295 last 148 295 in 149 295 old 151 295 Sag 152 295 Harbor; 153 295 and 154 295 seeing 156 295 what 157 295 the 158 295 sailors 159 295 did 161 295 there; 162 295 and 163 295 then 164 295 going 166 295 on 167 295 to 168 295 Nantucket, 169 295 and 171 295 seeing 172 295 how 173 295 they 174 295 spent 176 295 their 178 295 wages 179 295 in 181 295 that 182 295 place 183 295 also, 184 295 poor 186 295 Queequeg 187 295 gave 188 295 it 189 295 up 191 295 for 192 295 lost. 193 295 Thought 194 295 he, 196 295 it's 197 295 a 198 295 wicked 199 295 world 201 295 in 202 295 all 203 295 meridians; 204 295 I'll 206 295 die 207 295 a 208 295 pagan. 209 295 And 211 295 thus 212 295 an 213 295 old 214 295 idolator 216 295 at 217 295 heart, 218 295 he 219 295 yet 221 295 lived 222 295 among 223 295 these 224 295 Christians, 226 295 wore 227 295 their 228 295 clothes, 229 295 and 231 295 tried 232 295 to 233 295 talk 234 295 their 237 295 gibberish. 238 295 Hence 239 295 the 241 295 queer 242 295 ways 243 295 about 244 295 him, 246 295 though 247 295 now 248 295 some 249 295 time 251 295 from 252 295 home. 253 295 By 254 295 hints, 256 295 I 257 295 asked 258 295 him 259 295 whether 261 295 he 262 295 did 263 295 not 264 295 propose 266 295 going 267 295 back, 268 295 and 269 295 having 271 295 a 272 295 coronation; 273 295 since 274 295 he 276 295 might 277 295 now 278 295 consider 279 295 his 281 295 father 282 295 dead 283 295 and 284 295 gone, 286 295 he 287 295 being 288 295 very 289 295 old 291 295 and 292 295 feeble 293 295 at 294 295 the 1 296 last 3 296 accounts. 5 296 He 7 296 answered 9 296 no, 11 296 not 13 296 yet; 15 296 and 17 296 added 19 296 that 21 296 he 23 296 was 25 296 fearful 27 296 Christianity, 29 296 or 31 296 rather 33 296 Christians, 35 296 had 39 296 unfitted 41 296 him 43 296 for 45 296 ascending 47 296 the 49 296 pure 51 296 and 53 296 undefiled 55 296 throne 57 296 of 59 296 thirty 61 296 pagan 63 296 Kings 65 296 before 67 296 him. 69 296 But 71 296 by 73 296 and 75 296 by, 77 296 he 79 296 said, 81 296 he 83 296 would 85 296 return,--as 87 296 soon 89 296 as 91 296 he 93 296 felt 95 296 himself 97 296 baptized 99 296 again. 101 296 For 103 296 the 105 296 nonce, 107 296 however, 109 296 he 113 296 proposed 115 296 to 117 296 sail 119 296 about, 121 296 and 123 296 sow 125 296 his 127 296 wild 129 296 oats 131 296 in 133 296 all 135 296 four 137 296 oceans. 139 296 They 141 296 had 143 296 made 145 296 a 147 296 harpooneer 149 296 of 151 296 him, 153 296 and 155 296 that 157 296 barbed 159 296 iron 161 296 was 163 296 in 165 296 lieu 167 296 of 169 296 a 171 296 sceptre 173 296 now. 175 296 I 177 296 asked 179 296 him 181 296 what 183 296 might 187 296 be 189 296 his 191 296 immediate 193 296 purpose, 195 296 touching 197 296 his 199 296 future 201 296 movements. 203 296 He 205 296 answered, 207 296 to 209 296 go 211 296 to 213 296 sea 215 296 again, 217 296 in 219 296 his 221 296 old 223 296 vocation. 225 296 Upon 227 296 this, 229 296 I 231 296 told 233 296 him 235 296 that 237 296 whaling 239 296 was 241 296 my 243 296 own 245 296 design, 247 296 and 249 296 informed 251 296 him 253 296 of 255 296 my 257 296 intention 261 296 to 263 296 sail 265 296 out 267 296 of 269 296 Nantucket, 271 296 as 273 296 being 275 296 the 277 296 most 279 296 promising 281 296 port 283 296 for 285 296 an 287 296 adventurous 289 296 whaleman 291 296 to 293 296 embark 295 296 from. 1 297 He 2 297 at 4 297 once 5 297 resolved 7 297 to 8 297 accompany 10 297 me 13 297 to 14 297 that 16 297 island, 17 297 ship 19 297 aboard 20 297 the 23 297 same 25 297 vessel, 26 297 get 28 297 into 29 297 the 31 297 same 32 297 watch, 34 297 the 35 297 same 37 297 boat, 38 297 the 40 297 same 41 297 mess 43 297 with 46 297 me, 47 297 in 49 297 short 50 297 to 52 297 share 53 297 my 56 297 every 58 297 hap; 59 297 with 61 297 both 62 297 my 64 297 hands 65 297 in 67 297 his, 68 297 boldly 70 297 dip 71 297 into 73 297 the 74 297 Potluck 76 297 of 79 297 both 80 297 worlds. 82 297 To 83 297 all 85 297 this 86 297 I 89 297 joyously 91 297 assented; 92 297 for 94 297 besides 95 297 the 97 297 affection 98 297 I 100 297 now 101 297 felt 103 297 for 104 297 Queequeg, 106 297 he 107 297 was 109 297 an 112 297 experienced 113 297 harpooneer, 115 297 and 116 297 as 118 297 such, 119 297 could 122 297 not 124 297 fail 125 297 to 127 297 be 128 297 of 130 297 great 131 297 usefulness 133 297 to 134 297 one, 136 297 who, 137 297 like 139 297 me, 140 297 was 142 297 wholly 145 297 ignorant 146 297 of 148 297 the 149 297 mysteries 151 297 of 152 297 whaling, 155 297 though 157 297 well 158 297 acquainted 160 297 with 161 297 the 163 297 sea, 164 297 as 166 297 known 167 297 to 169 297 merchant 170 297 seamen. 172 297 His 173 297 story 175 297 being 178 297 ended 179 297 with 181 297 his 182 297 pipe's 184 297 last 185 297 dying 188 297 puff, 190 297 Queequeg 191 297 embraced 193 297 me, 194 297 pressed 196 297 his 197 297 forehead 199 297 against 200 297 mine, 202 297 and 203 297 blowing 205 297 out 206 297 the 208 297 light, 211 297 we 212 297 rolled 214 297 over 215 297 from 217 297 each 218 297 other, 221 297 this 223 297 way 224 297 and 226 297 that, 227 297 and 229 297 very 230 297 soon 232 297 were 233 297 sleeping. 235 297 CHAPTER 236 297 13 238 297 Wheelbarrow. 239 297 Next 241 297 morning, 244 297 Monday, 245 297 after 247 297 disposing 248 297 of 250 297 the 251 297 embalmed 254 297 head 256 297 to 257 297 a 259 297 barber, 260 297 for 262 297 a 263 297 block, 265 297 I 266 297 settled 268 297 my 269 297 own 271 297 and 272 297 comrade's 274 297 bill; 277 297 using, 278 297 however, 280 297 my 281 297 comrade's 283 297 money. 284 297 The 287 297 grinning 289 297 landlord, 290 297 as 292 297 well 293 297 as 295 297 the 296 297 boarders, 1 298 seemed 3 298 amazingly 5 298 tickled 7 298 at 9 298 the 11 298 sudden 13 298 friendship 15 298 which 17 298 had 19 298 sprung 21 298 up 23 298 between 25 298 me 27 298 and 29 298 Queequeg--especially 31 298 as 33 298 Peter 35 298 Coffin's 37 298 cock 39 298 and 41 298 bull 43 298 stories 45 298 about 47 298 him 49 298 had 51 298 previously 53 298 so 55 298 much 57 298 alarmed 59 298 me 61 298 concerning 63 298 the 65 298 very 67 298 person 69 298 whom 71 298 I 73 298 now 75 298 companied 77 298 with. 79 298 We 81 298 borrowed 83 298 a 85 298 wheelbarrow, 87 298 and 89 298 embarking 91 298 our 93 298 things, 95 298 including 97 298 my 99 298 own 101 298 poor 103 298 carpet-bag, 105 298 and 107 298 Queequeg's 109 298 canvas 111 298 sack 113 298 and 115 298 hammock, 117 298 away 119 298 we 121 298 went 123 298 down 125 298 to 127 298 "the 129 298 Moss," 131 298 the 133 298 little 135 298 Nantucket 137 298 packet 139 298 schooner 141 298 moored 143 298 at 145 298 the 147 298 wharf. 151 298 As 153 298 we 155 298 were 157 298 going 159 298 along 161 298 the 163 298 people 165 298 stared; 167 298 not 169 298 at 171 298 Queequeg 173 298 so 175 298 much--for 177 298 they 179 298 were 181 298 used 183 298 to 185 298 seeing 187 298 cannibals 189 298 like 191 298 him 193 298 in 195 298 their 197 298 streets,--but 199 298 at 201 298 seeing 203 298 him 205 298 and 207 298 me 209 298 upon 211 298 such 213 298 confidential 215 298 terms. 217 298 But 219 298 we 221 298 heeded 223 298 them 225 298 not, 227 298 going 229 298 along 231 298 wheeling 233 298 the 235 298 barrow 237 298 by 239 298 turns, 241 298 and 243 298 Queequeg 245 298 now 247 298 and 249 298 then 251 298 stopping 253 298 to 255 298 adjust 257 298 the 259 298 sheath 261 298 on 263 298 his 265 298 harpoon 267 298 barbs. 269 298 I 271 298 asked 273 298 him 275 298 why 277 298 he 279 298 carried 281 298 such 283 298 a 285 298 troublesome 287 298 thing 289 298 with 291 298 him 293 298 ashore, 295 298 and 297 298 whether 1 299 all 2 299 whaling 3 299 ships 4 299 did 5 299 not 6 299 find 7 299 their 8 299 own 9 299 harpoons. 10 299 To 11 299 this, 12 299 in 14 299 substance, 15 299 he 16 299 replied, 17 299 that 18 299 though 19 299 what 20 299 I 21 299 hinted 22 299 was 24 299 true 25 299 enough, 27 299 yet 28 299 he 29 299 had 30 299 a 31 299 particular 32 299 affection 33 299 for 34 299 his 35 299 own 36 299 harpoon, 37 299 because 38 299 it 40 299 was 41 299 of 42 299 assured 43 299 stuff, 44 299 well 45 299 tried 47 299 in 48 299 many 49 299 a 50 299 mortal 51 299 combat, 53 299 and 54 299 deeply 55 299 intimate 56 299 with 57 299 the 58 299 hearts 59 299 of 60 299 whales. 61 299 In 62 299 short, 63 299 like 64 299 many 66 299 inland 67 299 reapers 68 299 and 70 299 mowers, 71 299 who 72 299 go 73 299 into 74 299 the 75 299 farmers' 76 299 meadows 77 299 armed 79 299 with 80 299 their 81 299 own 82 299 scythes--though 83 299 in 84 299 no 85 299 wise 86 299 obliged 87 299 to 88 299 furnish 89 299 them--even 90 299 so, 93 299 Queequeg, 94 299 for 95 299 his 96 299 own 97 299 private 98 299 reasons, 99 299 preferred 100 299 his 101 299 own 102 299 harpoon. 103 299 Shifting 105 299 the 106 299 barrow 107 299 from 108 299 my 109 299 hand 110 299 to 111 299 his, 112 299 he 113 299 told 114 299 me 116 299 a 118 299 funny 119 299 story 120 299 about 121 299 the 122 299 first 123 299 wheelbarrow 124 299 he 125 299 had 126 299 ever 127 299 seen. 128 299 It 129 299 was 131 299 in 132 299 Sag 133 299 Harbor. 134 299 The 135 299 owners 136 299 of 137 299 his 139 299 ship, 140 299 it 141 299 seems, 142 299 had 144 299 lent 145

seem 163 299 ignorant 164 299 about 165 299 the 166 299 thing--though 167 299 in 168 299 truth 170 299 he 171 299 was 172 299 entirely 173 299 so, 174 299 concerning 175 299 the 176 299 precise 177

194 299 and 196 299 then 197 299 shoulders 198 299 the 199 299 barrow 200 299 and 201 299 marches 202 299 up 203 299 the 204 299 wharf. 205 299 "Why," 206 299 said 209 299 I, 210 299 "Queequeg, 211 299 you 212 299 might 213 299 have 214 299 known 215 299 better 216 299 than 217 299 that, 218 299 one 219 299 would 220 299 think. 222 299 Didn't 223 299 the 224 299 people 225 299 laugh?" 226 299 Upon 227 299 this, 228 299 he 229 299 told 231 299 me 232 299 another 233 299 story. 235 299 The 236 299 people 237 299 of 238 299 his 239 299 island 240 299 of 241 299 Rokovoko, 242 299 it 243 299

those 293 300 people 299 300 have 1 301 their 2 301 grace 3 301 as 4 301 well 5 301 as 6 301 we--though 8 301 Queequeg 9 301 told 10 301 me 11 301 that 12 301 unlike 13 301 us, 15 301 who 16 301 at 17 301 such 18 301 times 19 301 look 20 301 downwards 22 301 to 23 301 our 24 301 platters, 25 301 they, 26 301 on 27 301 the 29 301 contrary, 30 301 copying 31 301 the 32 301 ducks, 33 301 glance 34 301 upwards 36 301 to 37 301 the 38 301 great 39 301 Giver 40 301 of 41 301 all 44 301 feasts--Grace, 45 301 I 46 301 say, 47 301 being 48 301 said, 50 301 the 51 301 High 52 301 Priest 53 301 opens 54 301 the 55 301 banquet 57 301 by 58 301 the 59 301 immemorial 60 301 ceremony 61 301 of 62 301 the 64 301 island; 65 301 that 66 301 is, 67 301 dipping 68 301 his 69 301 consecrated 71 301 and 72 301 consecrating 73 301 fingers 74 301 into 75 301 the 76 301 bowl 78 301 before 79 301 the 80 301 blessed 81 301 beverage 82 301 circulates. 83 301 Seeing 85 301 himself 87 301 placed 88 301 next 89 301 the 90 301 Priest, 92 301 and 93 301 noting 94 301 the 95 301 ceremony, 96 301 and 97 301 thinking 99 301 himself--being 100 301 Captain 101 301 of 102 301 a 103 301 ship--as 104 301 having 106 301 plain 107 301 precedence 108 301 over 109 301 a 110 301 mere 111 301 island 113 301 King, 114 301 especially 115 301 in 116 301 the 117 301 King's 118 301 own 120 301 house--the 121 301 Captain 122

141 301 finger-glass. 142 301 "Now," 143 301 said 144 301 Queequeg, 145 301 "what 146 301 you 148 301 tink 149 301 now?--Didn't 150 301 our 151 301 people 152 301 laugh?" 153 301 At 155 301 last, 156 301 passage 157 301 paid, 158 301 and 159 301 luggage 160 301 safe, 162 301 we 163 301 stood 164 301 on 165 301 board 166 301 the 167 301 schooner. 169 301 Hoisting 170 301 sail, 171 301 it 173 301 glided 174 301 down 176 301 the 177 301 Acushnet 178 301 river. 179 301 On 180 301 one 181 301 side, 183 301 New 184 301 Bedford 185 301 rose 186 301 in 187 301 terraces 188 301 of 190 301 streets, 191 301 their 192 301 ice-covered 193 301 trees 194 301 all 195 301 glittering 197 301 in 198 301 the 199 301 clear, 200 301 cold 201 301 air. 202 301 Huge 204 301 hills 205 301 and 206 301 mountains 207 301 of 208 301 casks 209 301 on 211 301 casks 212 301 were 213 301 piled 214 301 upon 216 301 her 218 301 wharves, 219 301 and 220 301 side 221 301 by 222 301 side 223 301 the 225 301 world-wandering 226 301 whale 227 301 ships 228 301 lay 229 301 silent 230 301 and 232 301 safely 233 301 moored 234 301 at 235 301 last; 236 301 while 237 301 from 239 301 others 240 301 came 241 301 a 242 301 sound 243 301 of 244 301 carpenters 246 301 and 247 301 coopers, 248 301 with 249 301 blended 250 301 noises 251 301 of 253 301 fires 254 301 and 255 301 forges 256 301 to 257 301 melt 260 301 the 261 301 pitch, 262 301 all 263 301 betokening 264 301 that 265 301 new 267 301 cruises 268 301 were 269 301 on 270 301 the 271 301 start; 272 301 that 274 301 one 275 301 most 276 301 perilous 277 301 and 278 301 long 279 301 voyage 281 301 ended, 282 301 only 283 301 begins 284 301 a 285 301 second; 286 301 and 288 301 a 289 301 second 290 301 ended, 291 301 only 292 301 begins 293 301 a 295 301 third, 296 301 and 297 301 so 298 301 on, 299 301 for 300 301 ever 1 302 and 3 302 for 5 302 aye. 7 302 Such 9 302 is 11 302 the 13 302 endlessness, 15 302 yea, 17 302 the 19 302 intolerableness 21 302 of 23 302 all 25 302 earthly 27 302 effort. 29 302 Gaining 31 302 the 33 302 more 35 302 open 37 302 water, 39 302 the 41 302 bracing 43 302 breeze 45 302 waxed 47 302 fresh; 49 302 the 51 302 little 53 302 Moss 55 302 tossed 57 302 the 59 302 quick 61 302 foam 63 302 from 65 302 her 67 302 bows, 69 302 as 71 302 a 73 302 young 75 302 colt 77 302 his 79 302 snortings. 81 302 How 83 302 I 85 302 snuffed 87 302 that 89 302 Tartar 91 302 air!--how 93 302 I 95 302 spurned 97 302 that 99 302 turnpike 101 302 earth!--that 103 302 common 105 302 highway 107 302 all 109 302 over 111 302 dented 113 302 with 115 302 the 117 302 marks 119 302 of 121 302 slavish 123 302 heels 125 302 and 127 302 hoofs; 129 302 and 131 302 turned 133 302 me 135 302 to 137 302 admire 139 302 the 141 302 magnanimity 143 302 of 145 302 the 147 302 sea 149 302 which 153 302 will 155 302 permit 157 302 no 159 302 records. 161 302 At 163 302 the 165 302 same 167 302 foam-fountain, 169 302 Queequeg 171 302 seemed 173 302 to 175 302 drink 177 302 and 179 302 reel 181 302 with 183 302 me. 185 302 His 187 302 dusky 189 302 nostrils 191 302 swelled 193 302 apart; 195 302 he 197 302 showed 199 302 his 201 302 filed 203 302 and 205 302 pointed 207 302 teeth. 209 302 On, 211 302 on 213 302 we 215 302 flew; 217 302 and 219 302 our 221 302 offing 223 302 gained, 225 302 the 227 302 Moss 229 302 did 231 302 homage 233 302 to 235 302 the 237 302 blast; 239 302 ducked 241 302 and 243 302 dived 245 302 her 247 302 bows 249 302 as 251 302 a 253 302 slave 255 302 before 257 302 the 259 302 Sultan. 261 302 Sideways 263 302 leaning, 265 302 we 267 302 sideways 269 302 darted; 271 302 every 273 302 ropeyarn 275 302 tingling 277 302 like 279 302 a 281 302 wire; 283 302 the 285 302 two 287 302 tall 289 302 masts 291 302 buckling 293 302 like 295 302 Indian 297 302 canes 299 302 in 301 302 land 1 303 tornadoes. 2 303 So 4 303 full 5 303 of 7 303 this 8 303 reeling 10 303 scene 11 303 were 13 303 we, 14 303 as 16 303 we 17 303 stood 19 303 by 20 303 the 22 303 plunging 23 303 bowsprit, 25 303 that 26 303 for 28 303 some 29 303 time 31 303 we 32 303 did 34 303 not 35 303 notice 37 303 the 38 303 jeering 40 303 glances 41 303 of 43 303 the 44 303 passengers, 46 303 a 47 303 lubber-like 49 303 assembly, 50 303 who 52 303 marvelled 53 303 that 55 303 two 56 303 fellow 58 303 beings 59 303 should 61 303 be 62 303 so 64 303 companionable; 65 303 as 67 303 though 68 303 a 70 303 white 71 303 man 73 303 were 74 303 anything 76 303 more 77 303 dignified 79 303 than 80 303 a 82 303 whitewashed 83 303 negro. 85 303 But 86 303 there 88 303 were 89 303 some 91 303 boobies 92 303 and 94 303 bumpkins 95 303 there, 97 303 who, 98 303 by 100 303 their 103 303 intense 104 303 greenness, 106 303 must 107 303 have 109 303 come 110 303 from 112 303 the 113 303 heart 115 303 and 116 303 centre 118 303 of 119 303 all 121 303 verdure. 122 303 Queequeg 124 303 caught 125 303 one 127 303 of 128 303 these 130 303 young 131 303 saplings 133 303 mimicking 134 303 him 136 303 behind 137 303 his 139 303 back. 140 303 I 142 303 thought 143 303 the 145 303 bumpkin's 146 303 hour 148 303 of 149 303 doom 151 303 was 152 303 come. 154 303 Dropping 155 303 his 157 303 harpoon, 158 303 the 160 303 brawny 161 303 savage 163 303 caught 164 303 him 166 303 in 167 303 his 169 303 arms, 170 303 and 172 303 by 173 303 an 175 303 almost 176 303 miraculous 178 303 dexterity 179 303 and 181 303 strength, 182 303 sent 184 303 him 185 303 high 187 303 up 188 303 bodily 190 303 into 191 303 the 193 303 air; 194 303 then 196 303 slightly 197 303 tapping 199 303 his 200 303 stern 203 303 in 205 303 mid-somerset, 206 303 the 208 303 fellow 209 303 landed 211 303 with 212 303 bursting 214 303 lungs 215 303 upon 217 303 his 218 303 feet, 220 303 while 221 303 Queequeg, 223 303 turning 224 303 his 226 303 back 227 303 upon 229 303 him, 230 303 lighted 232 303 his 233 303 tomahawk 235 303 pipe 236 303 and 238 303 passed 239 303 it 241 303 to 242 303 me 244 303 for 245 303 a 247 303 puff. 248 303 "Capting! 250 303 Capting! 251 303 yelled 253 303 the 254 303 bumpkin, 256 303 running 257 303 towards 259 303 that 260 303 officer; 262 303 "Capting, 263 303 Capting, 265 303 here's 266 303 the 268 303 devil." 269 303 "Hallo, 271 303 YOU 272 303 sir," 274 303 cried 275 303 the 277 303 Captain, 278 303 a 280 303 gaunt 281 303 rib 283 303 of 284 303 the 286 303 sea, 287 303 stalking 289 303 up 290 303 to 292 303 Queequeg, 293 303 "what 295 303 in 296 303 thunder 298 303 do 299 303 you 301 303 mean 302 303 by 1 304 that? 3 304 Don't 5 304 you 7 304 know 9 304 you 11 304 might 13 304 have 15 304 killed 17 304 that 21 304 chap?" 23 304 "What 25 304 him 27 304 say?" 29 304 said 31 304 Queequeg, 33 304 as 35 304 he 37 304 mildly 39 304 turned 41 304 to 43 304 me. 45 304 "He 47 304 say," 49 304 said 51 304 I, 53 304 "that 55 304 you 59 304 came 61 304 near 63 304 kill-e 65 304 that 67 304 man 69 304 there," 71 304 pointing 73 304 to 75 304 the 77 304 still 79 304 shivering 81 304 greenhorn. 83 304 "Kill-e," 85 304 cried 87 304 Queequeg, 89 304 twisting 91 304 his 93 304 tattooed 97 304 face 99 304 into 101 304 an 103 304 unearthly 105 304 expression 107 304 of 109 304 disdain, 111 304 "ah! 113 304 him 115 304 bevy 117 304 small-e 119 304 fish-e; 121 304 Queequeg 123 304 no 125 304 kill-e 127 304 so 129 304 small-e 131 304 fish-e; 135 304 Queequeg 137 304 kill-e 139 304 big 141 304 whale!" 143 304 "Look 145 304 you," 147 304 roared 149 304 the 151 304 Captain, 153 304 "I'll 155 304 kill-e 157 304 YOU, 159 304 you 161 304 cannibal, 163 304 if 165 304 you 167 304 try 169 304 any 173 304 more 175 304 of 177 304 your 179 304 tricks 181 304 aboard 183 304 here; 185 304 so 187 304 mind 189 304 your 191 304 eye." 193 304 But 195 304 it 197 304 so 199 304 happened 201 304 just 203 304 then, 205 304 that 207 304 it 211 304 was 213 304 high 215 304 time 217 304 for 219 304 the 221 304 Captain 223 304 to 225 304 mind 227 304 his 229 304 own 231 304 eye. 233 304 The 235 304 prodigious 237 304 strain 239 304 upon 241 304 the 243 304 main-sail 245 304 had 249 304 parted 251 304 the 253 304 weather-sheet, 255 304 and 257 304 the 259 304 tremendous 261 304 boom 263 304 was 265 304 now 267 304 flying 269 304 from 271 304 side 273 304 to 275 304 side, 277 304 completely 279 304 sweeping 281 304 the 283 304 entire 287 304 after 289 304 part 291 304 of 293 304 the 295 304 deck. 297 304 The 299 304 poor 301 304 fellow 303 304 whom 1 305 Queequeg 2 305 had 3 305 handled 4 305 so 6 305 roughly, 7 305 was 8 305 swept 9 305 overboard; 11 305 all 12 305 hands 13 305 were 14 305 in 16 305 a 17 305 panic; 18 305 and 19 305 to 21 305 attempt 22 305 snatching 23 305 at 24 305 the 26 305 boom 27 305 to 28 305 stay 29 305 it, 31 305 seemed 32 305 madness. 33 305 It 34 305 flew 36 305 from 37 305 right 38 305 to 39 305 left, 41 305 and 42 305 back 43 305 again, 44 305 almost 46 305 in 47 305 one 48 305 ticking 49 305 of 51 305 a 52 305 watch, 53 305 and 54 305 every 56 305 instant 57 305 seemed 58 305 on 59 305 the 62 305 point 63 305 of 64 305 snapping 66 305 into 67 305 splinters. 68 305 Nothing 69 305 was 71 305 done, 72 305 and 73 305 nothing 74 305 seemed 76 305 capable 77 305 of 78 305 being 79 305 done; 81 305 those 82 305 on 83 305 deck 84 305 rushed 86 305 towards 87 305 the 88 305 bows, 89 305 and 91 305 stood 92 305 eyeing 93 305 the 94 305 boom 96 305 as 97 305 if 98 305 it 99 305 were 101 305 the 102 305 lower 103 305 jaw 104 305 of 106 305 an 107 305 exasperated 108 305 whale. 109 305 In 111 305 the 112 305 midst 113 305 of 114 305 this 116 305 consternation, 117 305 Queequeg 118 305 dropped 119 305 deftly 121 305 to 123 305 his 124 305 knees, 126 305 and 127 305 crawling 128 305 under 129 305 the 131 305 path 132 305 of 133 305 the 134 305 boom, 136 305 whipped 137 305 hold 138 305 of 139 305 a 141 305 rope, 142 305 secured 143 305 one 144 305 end 146 305 to 147 305 the 148 305 bulwarks, 149 305 and 151 305 then 152 305 flinging 153 305 the 154 305 other 156 305 like 157 305 a 158 305 lasso, 159 305 caught 161 305 it 162 305 round 163 305 the 164 305 boom 166 305 as 167 305 it 168 305 swept 169 305 over 171 305 his 172 305 head, 173 305 and 174 305 at 176 305 the 177 305 next 178 305 jerk, 179 305 the 181 305 spar 182 305 was 184 305 that 186 305 way 187 305 trapped, 188 305 and 189 305 all 191 305 was 192 305 safe. 193 305 The 194 305 schooner 196 305 was 197 305 run 198 305 into 199 305 the 201 305 wind, 202 305 and 203 305 while 204 305 the 206 305 hands 207 305 were 208 305 clearing 209 305 away 211 305 the 212 305 stern 213 305 boat, 214 305 Queequeg, 216 305 stripped 217 305 to 218 305 the 219 305 waist, 221 305 darted 222 305 from 223 305 the 224 305 side 226 305 with 227 305 a 228 305 long 229 305 living 231 305 arc 232 305 of 233 305 a 234 305 leap. 236 305 For 237 305 three 238 305 minutes 239 305 or 241 305 more 242 305 he 243 305 was 246 305 seen 247 305 swimming 248 305 like 249 305 a 251 305 dog, 252 305 throwing 253 305 his 254 305 long 256 305 arms 257 305 straight 258 305 out 259 305 before 261 305 him, 262 305 and 263 305 by 264 305 turns 266 305 revealing 267 305 his 268 305 brawny 269 305 shoulders 271 305 through 272 305 the 273 305 freezing 274 305 foam. 276 305 I 277 305 looked 278 305 at 279 305 the 281 305 grand 282 305 and 283 305 glorious 284 305 fellow, 286 305 but 287 305 saw 288 305 no 289 305 one 291 305 to 292 305 be 293 305 saved. 294 305 The 296 305 greenhorn 297 305 had 298 305 gone 299 305 down. 301 305 Shooting 302 305 himself 303 305 perpendicularly 304 305 from 1 306 the 5 306 water, 7 306 Queequeg, 11 306 now 13 306 took 19 306 an 23 306 instant's 25 306 glance 29 306 around 31 306 him, 35 306 and 37 306 seeming 41 306 to 43 306 see 47 306 just 49 306 how 53 306 matters 55 306 were, 59 306 dived 61 306 down 65 306 and 67 306 disappeared. 71 306 A 73 306 few 77 306 minutes 79 306 more, 83 306 and 89 306 he 91 306 rose 95 306 again, 97 306 one 101 306 arm 103 306 still 107 306 striking 109 306 out, 113 306 and 115 306 with 121 306 the 125 306 other 127 306 dragging 131 306 a 133 306 lifeless 137 306 form. 139 306 The 143 306 boat 145 306 soon 149 306 picked 151 306 them 155 306 up. 157 306 The 161 306 poor 163 306 bumpkin 167 306 was 169 306 restored. 173 306 All 175 306 hands 179 306 voted 181 306 Queequeg 185 306 a 191 306 noble 193 306 trump; 197 306 the 199 306 captain 203 306 begged 205 306 his 209 306 pardon. 211 306 From 215 306 that 217 306 hour 223 306 I 227 306 clove 229 306 to 233 306 Queequeg 235 306 like 239 306 a 241 306 barnacle; 245 306 yea, 247 306 till 251 306 poor 253 306 Queequeg 257 306 took 259 306 his 263 306 last 265 306 long 269 306 dive. 271 306 Was 275 306 there 277 306 ever 281 306 such 283 306 unconsciousness? 287 306 He 293 306 did 295 306 not 299 306 seem 301 306 to 305 306 think 1 307 that 2 307 he 3 307 at 4 307 all 5 307 deserved 6 307 a 7 307 medal 8 307 from 9 307 the 10 307 Humane 11 307 and 12 307 Magnanimous 13 307 Societies. 14 307 He 15 307 only 16 307 asked 17 307 for 18 307 water--fresh 19 307 water--something 20 307 to 21 307 wipe 22 307 the 23 307 brine 24 307 off; 25 307 that 26 307 done, 27 307 he 28 307 put 29 307 on 30 307 dry 31 307 clothes, 32 307 lighted 33 307 his 34 307 pipe, 35 307 and 36 307 leaning 37 307 against 38 307 the 39 307 bulwarks, 40 307 and 41 307 mildly 42 307 eyeing 43 307 those 44 307 around 45 307 him, 46 307 seemed 47 307 to 48 307 be 49 307 saying 50 307 to 51 307 himself--"It's 52 307 a 53 307 mutual, 54 307 joint-stock 55 307 world, 56 307 in 57 307 all 58 307 meridians. 59 307 We 60 307 cannibals 61 307 must 62 307 help 63 307 these 64 307 Christians." 65 307 CHAPTER 66 307 14 67 307 Nantucket. 68 307 Nothing 69 307 more 70 307 happened 71 307 on 72 307 the 73 307 passage 74 307 worthy 75 307 the 76 307 mentioning; 77 307 so, 78 307 after 79 307 a 80 307 fine 81 307 run, 82 307 we 83 307 safely 84 307 arrived 85 307 in 86 307 Nantucket. 87 307 Nantucket! 88 307 Take 89 307 out 90 307 your 91 307 map 92 307 and 93 307 look 94 307 at 95 307 it. 96 307 See 97 307 what 98 307 a 99 307 real 100 307 corner 101 307 of 102 307 the 103 307 world 104 307 it 105 307 occupies; 106 307 how 107 307 it 108 307 stands 109 307 there, 110 307 away 111 307 off 112 307 shore, 113 307 more 114 307 lonely 115 307 than 116 307 the 117 307 Eddystone 118 307 lighthouse. 119 307 Look 120 307 at 121 307 it--a 122 307 mere 123 307 hillock, 124 307 and 125 307 elbow 126 307 of 127 307 sand; 128 307 all 129 307 beach, 130 307 without 131 307 a 132 307 background. 133 307 There 134 307 is 135 307 more 136 307 sand 137 307 there 138 307 than 139 307 you 140 307 would 141 307 use 142 307 in 143 307 twenty 144 307 years 145 307 as 146 307 a 147 307 substitute 148 307 for 149 307 blotting 150 307 paper. 151 307 Some 152 307 gamesome 153 307 wights 154 307 will 155 307 tell 156 307 you 157 307 that 158 307 they 159 307 have 160 307 to 161 307 plant 162 307 weeds 163 307 there, 164 307 they 165 307 don't 166 307 grow 167 307 naturally; 168 307 that 169 307 they 170 307 import 171 307 Canada 172 307 thistles; 173 307 that 174 307 they 175 307 have 176 307 to 177 307 send 178 307 beyond 179 307 seas 180 307 for 181 307 a 182 307 spile 183 307 to 184 307 stop 185 307 a 186 307 leak 187 307 in 188 307 an 189 307 oil 190 307 cask; 191 307 that 192 307 pieces 193 307 of 194 307 wood 195 307 in 196 307 Nantucket 197 307 are 198 307 carried 199 307 about 200 307 like 201 307 bits 202 307 of 203 307 the 204 307 true 205 307 cross 206 307 in 207 307 Rome; 208 307 that 209 307 people 210 307 there 211 307 plant 212 307 toadstools 213 307 before 214 307 their 215 307 houses, 216 307 to 217 307 get 218 307 under 219 307 the 220 307 shade 221 307 in 222 307 summer 223 307 time; 224 307 that 225 307 one 226 307 blade 227 307 of 228 307 grass 229 307 makes 230 307 an 231 307 oasis, 232 307 three 233 307 blades 234 307 in 235 307 a 236 307 day's 237 307 walk 238 307 a 239 307 prairie; 240 307 that 241 307 they 242 307 wear 243 307 quicksand 244 307 shoes, 245 307 something 246 307 like 247 307 Laplander 248 307 snow-shoes; 249 307 that 250 307 they 251 307 are 252 307 so 253 307 shut 254 307 up, 255 307 belted 256 307 about, 257 307 every 258 307 way 259 307 inclosed, 260 307 surrounded, 261 307 and 262 307 made 263 307 an 264 307 utter 265 307 island 266 307 of 267 307 by 268 307 the 269 307 ocean, 270 307 that 271 307 to 272 307 their 273 307 very 274 307 chairs 275 307 and 276 307 tables 277 307 small 278 307 clams 279 307 will 280 307 sometimes 281 307 be 282 307 found 283 307 adhering, 284 307 as 285 307 to 286 307 the 287 307 backs 288 307 of 289 307 sea 290 307 turtles. 291 307 But 292 307 these 293 307 extravaganzas 294 307 only 295 307 show 296 307 that 297 307 Nantucket 298 307 is 299 307 no 300 307 Illinois. 301 307 Look 302 307 now 303 307 at 304 307 the 305 307 wondrous 306 307 traditional 1 308 story 3 308 of 5 308 how 9 308 this 13 308 island 15 308 was 17 308 settled 19 308 by 23 308 the 25 308 red-men. 27 308 Thus 29 308 goes 31 308 the 37 308 legend. 39 308 In 41 308 olden 43 308 times 45 308 an 47 308 eagle 51 308 swooped 53 308 down 57 308 upon 59 308 the 61 308 New 65 308 England 67 308 coast, 69 308 and 71 308 carried 73 308 off 75 308 an 79 308 infant 81 308 Indian 83 308 in 85 308 his 87 308 talons. 89 308 With 93 308 loud 95 308 lament 97 308 the 101 308 parents 103 308 saw

us; 174 317 and, 175 317 in 176 317 order 177 317 to 178 317 do 179 317 so, 180 317 had 181 317 already 182 317 pitched 183 317 upon 184 317 a 185 317 vessel, 186 317 which, 187 317 if 188 317 left 189 317 to 190 317 myself, 191 317 I, 192 317 Ishmael, 193 317 should 194 317 infallibly 195 317 light 196 317 upon, 197 317 for 198 317 all 199 317 the 200 317 world 201 317 as 202 317 though 203 317 it 204 317 had 205 317 turned 206 317 out 207 317 by 208 317 chance; 209 317 and 210 317 in 211 317 that 212 317 vessel 213 317 I 214 317 must 215 317 immediately 216 317 ship 217 317 myself, 218 317 for 219 317 the 220 317 present 221 317 irrespective 222 317 of 223 317 Queequeg. 224 317 I 225 317 have 226 317 forgotten 227 317 to 228 317 mention 229 317 that, 230 317 in 231 317 many 232 317 things, 233 317 Queequeg 234 317 placed 235 317 great 236 317 confidence 237 317 in 238 317 the 239 317 excellence 240 317 of 241 317 Yojo's 242 317 judgment 243 317 and 244 317 surprising 245 317 forecast 246 317 of 247 317 things; 248 317 and 249 317 cherished 250 317 Yojo 251 317 with 252 317 considerable 253 317 esteem, 254 317 as 255 317 a 256 317 rather 257 317 good 258 317 sort 259 317 of 260 317 god, 261 317 who 262 317 perhaps 263 317 meant 264 317 well 265 317 enough 266 317 upon 267 317 the 268 317 whole, 269 317 but 270 317 in 271 317 all 272 317 cases 273 317 did 274 317 not 275 317 succeed 276 317 in 277 317 his 278 317 benevolent 279 317 designs. 280 317 Now, 281 317 this 282 317 plan 283 317 of 284 317 Queequeg's, 285 317 or 286 317 rather 287 317 Yojo's, 288 317 touching 289 317 the 290 317 selection 291 317 of 292 317 our 293 317 craft; 294 317 I 295 317 did 296 317 not 297 317 like 298 317 that 299 317 plan 300 317 at 301 317 all. 302 317 I 303 317 had 304 317 not 305 317 a 306 317 little 307 317 relied 308 317 upon 309 317 Queequeg's 310 317 sagacity 311 317 to 312 317 point 313 317 out 314 317 the 315 317 whaler 316 317 best 1 318 fitted 5 318 to 7 318 carry 11 318 us 13 318 and 17 318 our 19 318 fortunes 23 318 securely. 25 318 But 29 318 as 31 318 all 35 318 my 37 318 remonstrances 41 318 produced 43 318 no 47 318 effect 49 318 upon 55 318 Queequeg, 59 318 I 61 318 was 65 318 obliged 67 318 to 71 318 acquiesce; 73 318 and 77 318 accordingly 79 318 prepared 83 318 to 85 318 set 89 318 about 91 318 this 95 318 business 97 318 with 101 318 a 103 318 determined 107 318 rushing 109 318 sort 113 318 of 115 318 energy 119 318 and 121 318 vigor, 125 318 that 127 318 should 131 318 quickly 133 318 settle 137 318 that 139 318 trifling 143 318 little 145 318 affair. 149 318 Next 151 318 morning 155 318 early, 157 318 leaving 161 318 Queequeg 163 318 shut 167 318 up 169 318 with 173 318 Yojo 175 318 in 179 318 our 181 318 little 185 318 bedroom--for 187 318 it 191 318 seemed 193 318 that 197 318 it 199 318 was 203 318 some 205 318 sort 209 318 of 211 318 Lent 215 318 or 217 318 Ramadan, 221 318 or 223 318 day 227 318 of 229 318 fasting, 233 318 humiliation, 235 318 and 239 318 prayer 241 318 with 245 318 Queequeg 247 318 and 251 318 Yojo 253 318 that 257 318 day; 259 318 HOW 263 318 it 269 318 was 271 318 I 275 318 never 277 318 could 281 318 find 283 318 out, 287 318 for, 289 318 though 293 318 I 295 318 applied 299 318 myself 301 318 to 305 318 it 307 318 several 311 318 times, 313 318 I 317 318 never 1 319 could 2 319 master 3 319 his 4 319 liturgies 5 319 and 6 319 XXXIX 7 319 Articles--leaving 8 319 Queequeg, 9 319 then, 10 319 fasting 12 319 on 13 319 his 14 319 tomahawk 15 319 pipe, 16 319 and 17 319 Yojo 18 319 warming 19 319 himself 20 319 at 21 319 his 23 319 sacrificial 24 319 fire 25 319 of 26 319 shavings, 27 319 I 28 319 sallied 30 319 out 31 319 among 32 319 the 34 319 shipping. 35 319 After 36 319 much 37 319 prolonged 38 319 sauntering 39 319 and 40 319 many 41 319 random 42 319 inquiries, 43 319 I 45 319 learnt 46 319 that 47 319 there 48 319 were 49 319 three 50 319 ships 51 319 up 52 319 for 53 319 three-years' 54 319 voyages--The 56 319 Devil-dam, 57 319 the 59 319 Tit-bit, 60 319 and 61 319 the 62 319 Pequod. 63 319 DEVIL-DAM, 64 319 I 65 319 do 67 319 not 68 319 know 69 319 the 70 319 origin 71 319 of; 72 319 TIT-BIT 73 319 is 74 319 obvious; 75 319 PEQUOD, 76 319 you 78 319 will 79 319 no 80 319 doubt 81 319 remember, 82 319 was 83 319 the 84 319 name 85 319 of 86 319 a 89 319 celebrated 90 319 tribe 91 319 of 92 319 Massachusetts 93 319 Indians; 94 319 now 95 319 extinct 96 319 as 97 319 the 98 319 ancient 100 319 Medes. 101 319 I 102 319 peered 103 319 and 104 319 pryed 105 319 about 106 319 the 107 319 Devil-dam; 108 319 from 109 319 her, 111 319 hopped 112 319 over 113 319 to 114 319 the 115 319 Tit-bit; 117 319 and 118 319 finally, 119 319 going 120 319 on 122 319 board 123 319 the 124 319 Pequod, 125 319 looked 126 319 around 127 319 her 128 319 for 129 319 a 130 319 moment, 131 319 and 133 319 then 134 319 decided 135 319 that 136 319 this 137 319 was 138 319 the 139 319 very 140 319 ship 141 319 for 142 319 us. 144 319 You 146 319 may 147 319 have 148 319 seen 149 319 many 150 319 a 151 319 quaint 152 319 craft 153 319 in 155 319 your 156 319 day, 157 319 for 158 319 aught 159 319 I 160 319 know;--square-toed 161 319 luggers; 162 319 mountainous 163 319 Japanese 164 319 junks; 166 319 butter-box 167 319 galliots, 168 319 and 169 319 what 170 319 not; 171 319 but 172 319 take 173 319 my 175 319 word 177 319 for 178 319 it, 179 319 you 180 319 never 181 319 saw 182 319 such 183 319 a 184 319 rare 185 319 old 186 319 craft 188 319 as 189 319 this 190 319 same 191 319 rare 192 319 old 193 319 Pequod. 194 319 She 195 319 was 196 319 a 197 319 ship 199 319 of 200 319 the 201 319 old 202 319 school, 204 319 rather 205 319 small 206 319 if 207 319 anything; 208 319 with 210 319 an 211 319 old-fashioned 212 319 claw-footed 213 319 look 214 319 about 215 319 her. 216 319 Long 217 319 seasoned 218 319 and 219 319 weather-stained 221 319 in 222

271 319 were 272 319 lost 273 319 overboard 274 319 in 276 319 a 277 319 gale--her 278 319 masts 279 319 stood 280 319 stiffly 281 319 up 282 319 like 283 319 the 284 319 spines 285 319 of 287 319 the

291 320 tricking 293 320 herself 297 320 forth 299 320 in 301 320 the 303 320 chased 307 320 bones 309 320 of 311 320 her 313 320 enemies. 317 320 All 319 320 round, 1 321 her 2 321 unpanelled, 4 321 open 5 321 bulwarks 7 321 were 8 321 garnished 10 321 like 11 321 one 13 321 continuous 14 321 jaw, 16 321 with 17 321 the 19 321 long 20 321 sharp 22 321 teeth 23 321 of 25 321 the 26 321 sperm 28

52 321 ran 53 321 not 55 321 through 56 321 base 58 321 blocks 59 321 of 61 321 land 62 321 wood, 64 321 but 65 321 deftly 67 321 travelled 68 321 over 70 321 sheaves 71 321 of 73 321 sea-ivory. 74 321 Scorning 76 321 a 77 321 turnstile 79 321 wheel 80 321 at 82 321 her 83 321 reverend 85 321 helm, 86 321 she 88 321 sported 89 321 there 91 321 a 92 321 tiller; 94 321 and 95 321 that 97 321 tiller 98 321 was 100 321 in 101 321 one 103 321 mass, 104 321 curiously 106 321 carved 109 321 from 110 321 the 112 321 long 113 321 narrow 115 321 lower 116 321 jaw 118 321 of 119 321 her 121 321 hereditary 122 321 foe. 124 321 The 125 321 helmsman 127 321 who 128 321 steered 130 321 by 131 321 that 133 321 tiller 134 321 in 136 321 a 137 321 tempest, 139 321 felt 140 321 like 142 321 the 143 321 Tartar, 145 321 when 146 321 he 148 321 holds 149 321 back 151 321 his 152 321 fiery 154 321 steed 155 321 by 157 321 clutching 158 321 its 160 321 jaw. 161 321 A 163 321 noble 164 321 craft, 166 321 but 167 321 somehow 169 321 a 170 321 most 172 321 melancholy! 173 321 All 175 321 noble 176 321 things 178 321 are 179 321 touched 181 321 with 182 321 that. 184 321 Now 185 321 when 187 321 I 188 321 looked 190 321 about 191 321 the 193 321 quarter-deck, 194 321 for 196 321 some 197 321 one 199 321 having 200 321 authority, 202 321 in 203 321 order 205 321 to 206 321 propose 208 321 myself 209 321 as 211 321 a 212 321 candidate 215 321 for 217 321 the 218 321 voyage, 220 321 at 221 321 first 223 321 I 224 321 saw 226 321 nobody; 227 321 but 229 321 I 230 321 could 232 321 not 233 321 well 235 321 overlook 236 321 a 238 321 strange 239 321 sort 241 321 of 242 321 tent, 244 321 or 245 321 rather 247 321 wigwam, 248 321 pitched 250 321 a 251 321 little 253 321 behind 254 321 the 256 321 main-mast. 257 321 It 259 321 seemed 260 321 only 262 321 a 263 321 temporary 265 321 erection 266 321 used 268 321 in 269 321 port. 271 321 It 272 321 was 274 321 of 275 321 a 277 321 conical 278 321 shape, 280 321 some 281 321 ten 283 321 feet 284 321 high; 286 321 consisting 287 321 of 289 321 the 290 321 long, 292 321 huge 293 321 slabs 295 321 of 296 321 limber 298 321 black 299 321 bone 301 321 taken 302 321 from 304 321 the 305 321 middle 307 321 and 308 321 highest 310 321 part 311 321 of 313 321 the 314 321 jaws 316 321 of 317 321 the 319 321 right-whale. 320 321 Planted 1 322 with 3 322 their 5 322 broad 9 322 ends 11 322 on 13 322 the 15 322 deck, 17 322 a 19 322 circle 25 322 of 27 322 these 29 322 slabs 31 322 laced 33 322 together, 37 322 mutually 39 322 sloped 41 322 towards 43 322 each 45 322 other, 47 322 and 51 322 at 53 322 the 55 322 apex 57 322 united 59 322 in 61 322 a 65 322 tufted 67 322 point, 71 322 where 73 322 the 75 322 loose 79 322 hairy 81 322 fibres 83 322 waved 85 322 to 87 322 and 89 322 fro 93 322 like 95 322 the 97 322 top-knot 99 322 on 101 322 some 103 322 old 107 322 Pottowottamie 109 322 Sachem's 111 322 head. 113 322 A 117 322 triangular 121 322 opening 123 322 faced 125 322 towards 127 322 the 129 322 bows 131 322 of 135 322 the 137 322 ship, 139 322 so 141 322 that 143 322 the 145 322 insider 149 322 commanded 151 322 a 153 322 complete 155 322 view 157 322 forward. 159 322 And 163 322 half 165 322 concealed 167 322 in 169 322 this 171 322 queer 173 322 tenement, 177 322 I 179 322 at 181 322 length 183 322 found 185 322 one 187 322 who 191 322 by 193 322 his 195 322 aspect 197 322 seemed 199 322 to 201 322 have 205 322 authority; 209 322 and 211 322 who, 213 322 it 215 322 being 219 322 noon, 221 322 and 223 322 the 225 322 ship's 227 322 work 229 322 suspended, 233 322 was 235 322 now 237 322 enjoying 239 322 respite 241 322 from 243 322 the 247 322 burden 249 322 of 251 322 command. 255 322 He 257 322 was 261 322 seated 263 322 on 265 322 an 267 322 old-fashioned 269 322 oaken 271 322 chair, 275 322 wriggling 277 322 all 279 322 over 281 322 with 283 322 curious 285 322 carving; 289 322 and 291 322 the 293 322 bottom 295 322 of 297 322 which 303 322 was 305 322 formed 307 322 of 309 322 a 311 322 stout 313 322 interlacing 317 322 of 319 322 the 321 322 same 1 323 elastic 2 323 stuff 3 323 of 4 323 which 5 323 the 6 323 wigwam 7 323 was 8 323 constructed. 9 323 There 10 323 was 11 323 nothing 12 323 so 13 323 very 14 323 particular, 15 323 perhaps, 16 323 about 18 323 the 20 323 appearance 21 323 of 22 323 the 23 323 elderly 24 323 man 25 323 I 26 323 saw; 27 323 he 28 323 was 29 323 brown 30 323 and 31 323 brawny, 32 323 like 33 323 most 35 323 old 36 323 seamen, 37 323 and 39 323 heavily 40 323 rolled 41 323 up 42 323 in 43 323 blue 44 323 pilot-cloth, 45 323 cut 46 323 in 47 323 the 48 323 Quaker 49 323 style; 50 323 only 52 323 there 53 323 was 54 323 a 55 323 fine 56 323 and 58 323 almost 59 323 microscopic 60 323 net-work 61 323 of 62 323 the 63 323 minutest 64 323 wrinkles 65 323 interlacing 66 323 round 67 323 his 69 323 eyes, 70 323 which 71 323 must 72 323 have 73 323 arisen 74 323 from 75 323 his 77 323 continual 78 323 sailings 79 323 in 80 323 many 81 323 hard 82 323 gales, 83 323 and 84 323 always 86 323 looking 87 323 to 88 323 windward;--for 89 323 this 90 323 causes 91 323 the 92 323 muscles 93 323 about 94 323 the 96 323 eyes 97 323 to 98 323 become 99 323 pursed 100 323 together. 101 323 Such 103 323 eye-wrinkles 104 323 are 105 323 very 106 323 effectual 107 323 in 108 323 a 109 323 scowl. 110 323 "Is 111 323 this 112 323 the 113 323 Captain 115 323 of 116 323 the 117 323 Pequod?" 118 323 said 120 323 I, 121 323 advancing 122 323 to 123 323 the 124 323 door 125 323 of 126 323 the 127 323 tent. 128 323 "Supposing 129 323 it 130 323 be 131 323 the 132 323 captain 134 323 of 135 323 the 137 323 Pequod, 138 323 what 139 323 dost 140 323 thou 141 323 want 142 323 of 143 323 him?" 144 323 he 145 323 demanded. 146 323 "I 147 323 was 148 323 thinking 149 323 of 150 323 shipping." 151 323 "Thou 154 323 wast, 155 323 wast 156 323 thou? 157 323

these 321 323 things. 322 323 I 1 324 saw 5 324 that 7 324 under 11 324 the 13 324 mask 17 324 of 19 324 these 23 324 half 25 324 humorous 29 324 innuendoes, 31 324 this 35 324 old 37 324 seaman, 41

of 85 324 all 89 324 aliens, 91 324 unless 95 324 they 97 324 hailed 101 324 from 103 324 Cape 107 324 Cod 109 324 or 113 324 the 115 324 Vineyard. 119 324 "But 121 324 what 125 324 takes 127 324 thee

324 mistaken 317 324 then. 319 324 I 323 324 thought 1 325 I 2 325 was 3 325 speaking 4 325 to 6 325 the 7 325 Captain 8 325 himself." 9 325 "Thou 11 325 art 12 325 speaking 14 325 to 16 325 Captain

but 228 325 said 229 325 as 231 325 calmly 232 325 as 233 325 I 236 325 could, 237 325 "What 238 325 you 239 325 say 241 325 is 242 325 no 243 325 doubt 244 325 true 246 325 enough, 248 325 sir; 249

though 268 325 indeed 269 325 I 271 325 might 272 325 have 274 325 inferred 276 325 as 277 325 much 278 325 from 279 325 the 281 325 simple 282 325 fact 283 325 of 284 325 the 287 325 accident." 288

jump 169 326 after 171 326 it? 173 326 Answer, 175 326 quick!" 177 326 "I 179 326 am, 181 326 sir, 183 326 if 185 326 it 187 326 should 189 326 be 191 326 positively 193 326 indispensable 195 326 to 197 326 do 199 326 so; 201 326 not 203 326 to 205 326 be 207 326 got 209 326 rid 211 326 of, 213 326 that 215 326 is; 217 326 which 219 326 I 221 326 don't 223 326 take 225 326 to 227 326 be 229 326 the 231 326 fact." 233 326 "Good 235 326 again. 237 326 Now 239 326 then, 241 326 thou 243 326 not 245 326 only 247 326 wantest 249 326 to 251 326 go 253 326 a-whaling, 255 326 to 257 326 find 259 326 out 261 326 by 263 326 experience 265 326 what 267 326 whaling 269 326 is, 271 326 but 273 326 ye 275 326 also 277 326 want 279 326 to 281 326 go 283 326 in 285 326 order 287 326 to 289 326 see 291 326 the 293 326 world? 295 326 Was 297 326 not 299 326 that 301 326 what 303 326 ye 305 326 said? 307 326 I 309 326 thought 311 326 so. 313 326 Well 315 326 then, 317 326 just 319 326 step 321 326 forward 323 326 there, 325 326 and 1 327 take 2 327 a 4 327 peep 5 327 over 7 327 the 8 327 weather-bow, 10 327 and 11 327 then 13 327 back 14 327 to 16 327 me 17 327 and 19 327 tell 20 327 me 22 327 what 23 327 ye 25 327 see 26 327 there." 28 327 For 29 327 a 31 327 moment 32 327 I 34 327 stood 35 327 a 37 327 little 38 327 puzzled 40 327 by 41 327 this 43 327 curious 44 327 request, 46 327 not 47 327 knowing 49 327 exactly 50 327 how 52 327 to 53 327 take 55 327 it, 56 327 whether 58 327 humorously 59 327 or 61 327 in 62 327 earnest. 64 327 But 65 327 concentrating 67 327 all 68 327 his 70 327 crow's 71 327 feet 73 327 into 74 327 one 76 327 scowl, 77 327 Captain 79 327 Peleg 80 327 started 82 327 me 83 327 on 85 327 the 86 327 errand. 88 327 Going 89 327 forward 91 327 and 92 327 glancing 94 327 over 95 327 the 97 327 weather 98 327 bow, 100 327 I 101 327 perceived 103 327 that 104 327 the 106 327 ship 107 327 swinging 110 327 to 112 327 her 113 327 anchor 115 327 with 116 327 the 118 327 flood-tide, 119 327 was 121 327 now 122 327 obliquely 124 327 pointing 125 327 towards 127 327 the 128 327 open 130 327 ocean. 131 327 The 133 327 prospect 134 327 was 136 327 unlimited, 137 327 but 139 327 exceedingly 140 327 monotonous 142 327 and 143 327 forbidding; 145 327 not 146 327 the 148 327 slightest 149 327 variety 151 327 that 152 327 I 154 327 could 155 327 see. 157 327 "Well, 158 327 what's 160 327 the 161 327 report?" 163 327 said 164 327 Peleg 166 327 when 167 327 I 169 327 came 170 327 back; 172 327 "what 173 327 did 175 327 ye 176 327 see?" 178 327 "Not 179 327 much," 181 327 I 182 327 replied--"nothing 184 327 but 185 327 water; 187 327 considerable 188 327 horizon 190 327 though, 191 327 and 193 327 there's 194 327 a 196 327 squall 197 327 coming 199 327 up, 200 327 I 202 327 think." 203 327 "Well, 205 327 what 206 327 does 208 327 thou 209 327 think 211 327 then 212 327 of 214 327 seeing 215 327 the 217 327 world? 220 327 Do 221 327 ye 223 327 wish 224 327 to 226 327 go 227 327 round 229 327 Cape 230 327 Horn 232 327 to 233 327 see 235 327 any 236 327 more 238 327 of 239 327 it, 241 327 eh? 242 327 Can't 244 327 ye 245 327 see 247 327 the 248 327 world 250 327 where 251 327 you 253 327 stand?" 254 327 I 256 327 was 257 327 a 259 327 little 260 327 staggered, 262 327 but 263 327 go 265 327 a-whaling 266 327 I 268 327 must, 269 327 and 271 327 I 272 327 would; 274 327 and 275 327 the 277 327 Pequod 278 327 was 280 327 as 281 327 good 283 327 a 284 327 ship 286 327 as 287 327 any--I 289 327 thought 290 327 the 292 327 best--and 293 327 all 295 327 this 296 327 I 298 327 now 299 327 repeated 301 327 to 302 327 Peleg. 304 327 Seeing 305 327 me 307 327 so 308 327 determined, 310 327 he 311 327 expressed 313 327 his 314 327 willingness 316 327 to 317 327 ship 319 327 me. 320 327 "And 322 327 thou 323 327 mayest 325 327 as 326 327 well 1 328 sign 3 328 the 5 328 papers 7 328 right 9 328 off," 11 328 he 13 328 added--"come 15 328 along 17 328 with 19 328 ye." 21 328 And 23 328 so 25 328 saying, 27 328 he 29 328 led 31 328 the 33 328 way 35 328 below 37 328 deck 39 328 into 43 328 the 45 328 cabin. 47 328 Seated 49 328 on 51 328 the 53 328 transom 55 328 was 57 328 what 59 328 seemed 61 328 to 63 328 me 65 328 a 67 328 most 69 328 uncommon 71 328 and 73 328 surprising 75 328 figure. 77 328 It 79 328 turned 81 328 out 83 328 to 85 328 be 87 328 Captain 89 328 Bildad, 91 328 who 93 328 along 95 328 with 97 328 Captain 99 328 Peleg 101 328 was 103 328 one 105 328 of 107 328 the 109 328 largest 111 328 owners 113 328 of 115 328 the 117 328 vessel; 119 328 the 121 328 other 125 328 shares, 127 328 as 129 328 is 131 328 sometimes 133 328 the 135 328 case 137 328 in 139 328 these 141 328 ports, 143 328 being 145 328 held 147 328 by 149 328 a 151 328 crowd 153 328 of 155 328 old 157 328 annuitants; 159 328 widows, 161 328 fatherless 163 328 children, 165 328 and 167 328 chancery 169 328 wards; 171 328 each 173 328 owning 175 328 about 177 328 the 179 328 value 181 328 of 183 328 a 185 328 timber 187 328 head, 189 328 or 191 328 a 193 328 foot 195 328 of 197 328 plank, 199 328 or 201 328 a 203 328 nail 207 328 or 209 328 two 211 328 in 213 328 the 215 328 ship. 217 328 People 219 328 in 221 328 Nantucket 223 328 invest 225 328 their 227 328 money 229 328 in 231 328 whaling 233 328 vessels, 235 328 the 237 328 same 239 328 way 241 328 that 243 328 you 245 328 do 247 328 yours 249 328 in 251 328 approved 253 328 state 255 328 stocks 257 328 bringing 259 328 in 261 328 good 263 328 interest. 265 328 Now, 267 328 Bildad, 269 328 like 271 328 Peleg, 273 328 and 275 328 indeed 277 328 many 279 328 other 281 328 Nantucketers, 283 328 was 285 328 a 289 328 Quaker, 291 328 the 293 328 island 295 328 having 297 328 been 299 328 originally 301 328 settled 303 328 by 305 328 that 307 328 sect; 309 328 and 311 328 to 313 328 this 315 328 day 317 328 its 319 328 inhabitants 321 328 in 323 328 general 325 328 retain 327 328 in 1 329 an 2 329 uncommon 3 329 measure 4 329 the 5 329 peculiarities 6 329 of 8 329 the 9 329 Quaker, 10 329 only 11 329 variously 12 329 and 13 329 anomalously 15 329 modified 16 329 by 17 329 things 18 329 altogether 19 329 alien 20 329 and 22 329 heterogeneous. 23 329 For 24 329 some 25 329 of 26 329 these 27 329 same 29 329 Quakers 30 329 are 31 329 the 32 329 most 33 329 sanguinary 34 329 of 36 329 all 37 329 sailors 38 329 and 39 329 whale-hunters. 40 329 They 41 329 are 43 329 fighting 44 329 Quakers; 45 329 they 46 329 are 48 329 Quakers 50 329 with 51 329 a 52 329 vengeance. 53 329 So 54 329 that 55 329 there 57 329 are 58 329 instances 59 329 among 60 329 them 61 329 of 62 329 men, 64 329 who, 65 329 named 66 329 with 67 329 Scripture 68 329 names--a 69 329 singularly 71 329 common 72 329 fashion 73 329 on 74 329 the 75 329 island--and 76 329 in 78 329 childhood 79 329 naturally 80 329 imbibing 81 329 the 82 329 stately 83 329 dramatic 85 329 thee 86 329 and 87 329 thou 88 329 of 89 329 the 90 329 Quaker 92 329 idiom; 93 329 still, 95 329 from 96 329 the 97 329 audacious, 99 329 daring, 100 329 and 101 329 boundless 102 329 adventure 103 329 of 104 329 their 106 329 subsequent 107 329 lives, 108 329 strangely 109 329 blend 110 329 with 111 329 these 113 329 unoutgrown 114 329 peculiarities, 115 329 a 116 329 thousand 117 329 bold 118 329 dashes 120 329 of 121 329 character, 122 329 not 123 329 unworthy 124 329 a 125 329 Scandinavian 127 329 sea-king, 128 329 or 129 329 a 130 329 poetical 131 329 Pagan 132 329 Roman. 134 329 And 135 329 when 136 329 these 137 329 things 138 329 unite 139 329 in 142 329 a 143 329 man 144 329 of 145 329 greatly 146 329 superior 148 329 natural 149 329 force, 150 329 with 151 329 a 152 329 globular 153 329 brain 155 329 and 156 329 a 157 329 ponderous 158 329 heart; 159 329 who 160 329 has 162 329 also 163 329 by 164 329 the 165 329 stillness 166 329 and 167 329 seclusion 169 329 of 170 329 many 171 329 long 172 329 night-watches 173 329 in 174 329 the 176 329 remotest 177 329 waters, 178 329 and 179 329 beneath 180 329 constellations 181 329 never 183 329 seen 184 329 here 185 329 at 186 329 the 187 329 north, 190 329 been 191 329 led 192 329 to 193 329 think 194 329 untraditionally 195 329 and 197 329 independently; 198 329 receiving 199 329 all 200 329 nature's 201 329 sweet 202 329 or 204 329 savage 205 329 impressions 206 329 fresh 207 329 from 208 329 her 209 329 own 211 329 virgin 212 329 voluntary 213 329 and 214 329 confiding 215 329 breast, 216 329 and 218 329 thereby 219 329 chiefly, 220 329 but 221 329 with 222 329 some 223 329 help 225 329 from 226 329 accidental 227 329 advantages, 228 329 to 229 329 learn 230 329 a 232 329 bold 233 329 and 234 329 nervous 236 329 lofty 237 329 language--that 239 329 man 240 329 makes 241 329 one 242 329 in 243 329 a 244 329 whole 246 329 nation's 247 329 census--a 248 329 mighty 249 329 pageant 250 329 creature, 251 329 formed 253 329 for 254 329 noble 255 329 tragedies. 256 329 Nor 257 329 will 258 329 it 260 329 at 261 329 all 262 329 detract 263 329 from 264 329 him, 265 329 dramatically 267 329 regarded, 268 329 if 269 329 either 270 329 by 271 329 birth 272 329 or 274 329 other 275 329 circumstances, 276 329 he 277 329 have 278 329 what 279 329 seems 281 329 a 283 329 half 284 329 wilful 285 329 overruling 286 329 morbidness 288 329 at 289 329 the 290 329 bottom 291 329 of 292 329 his 293 329 nature. 295 329 For 296 329 all 297 329 men 298 329 tragically 299 329 great 300 329 are 302 329 made 303 329 so 304 329 through 305 329 a 306 329 certain 307 329 morbidness. 309 329 Be 310 329 sure 311 329 of 312 329 this, 313 329 O 314 329 young 316 329 ambition, 317 329 all 318 329 mortal 319 329 greatness 320 329 is 321 329 but 323 329 disease. 324 329 But, 325 329 as 326 329 yet 327 329 we 328 329 have 1 330 not 7 330 to 13 330 do 17 330 with 19 330 such 23 330 an 29 330 one, 31 330 but 37 330 with 41 330 quite 43 330 another; 47 330 and 49 330 still 53 330 a 59 330 man, 61 330 who, 67 330 if 71 330 indeed 73 330 peculiar, 79 330 it 83 330 only 89 330 results 91 330 again 97 330 from 101 330 another 103 330 phase 107 330 of 109 330 the 113 330 Quaker, 119 330 modified 127 330 by 131 330 individual 133 330 circumstances. 137 330 Like 139 330 Captain 149 330 Peleg, 151 330 Captain 157 330 Bildad 161 330 was 163 330 a 167 330 well-to-do, 169 330 retired 173 330 whaleman. 179 330 But 181 330 unlike 191 330 Captain 193 330 Peleg--who 197 330 cared 199 330 not 203 330 a 211 330 rush 217 330 for 221 330 what 223 330 are 227 330 called 229 330 serious 233 330 things, 239 330 and 241 330 indeed 247 330 deemed 251 330 those 257 330 self-same 259 330 serious 263 330 things 269 330 the 271 330 veriest 277 330 of 281 330 all 283 330 trifles--Captain 287 330 Bildad 289 330 had 293 330 not 299 330 only 301 330 been 307 330 originally 311 330 educated 313 330 according 317 330 to 323 330 the 329 330 strictest 1 331 sect 2 331 of 3 331 Nantucket 4 331 Quakerism, 5 331 but 6 331 all 7 331 his 8 331 subsequent 9 331 ocean 10 331 life, 11 331 and 12 331 the 13 331 sight 14 331 of 15 331 many 16 331 unclad, 17 331 lovely 18 331 island 19 331 creatures, 20 331 round 21 331 the 22 331 Horn--all 23 331 that 24 331 had 25 331 not 26 331 moved 27 331 this 28 331 native 29 331 born 30 331 Quaker 31 331 one 32 331 single 33 331 jot, 34 331 had 35 331 not 36 331 so 37 331 much 38 331 as 39 331 altered 40 331 one 41 331 angle 42 331 of 43 331 his 44 331 vest. 45 331 Still, 46 331 for 47 331 all 48 331 this 49 331 immutableness, 50 331 was 51 331 there 52 331 some 53 331 lack 54 331 of 55 331 common 56 331 consistency 57 331 about 58 331 worthy 59 331 Captain 60 331 Peleg. 61 331 Though 62 331 refusing, 63 331 from 64 331 conscientious 65 331 scruples, 66 331 to 67 331 bear 68 331 arms 69 331 against 70 331 land 71 331 invaders, 72 331 yet 73 331 himself 74 331 had 75 331 illimitably 76 331 invaded 77 331 the 78 331 Atlantic 79 331 and 80 331 Pacific; 81 331 and 82 331 though 83 331 a 84 331 sworn 85 331 foe 86 331 to 87 331 human 88 331 bloodshed, 89 331 yet 90 331 had 91 331 he 92 331 in 93 331 his 94 331 straight-bodied 95 331 coat, 96 331 spilled 97 331 tuns 98 331 upon 99 331 tuns 100 331 of 101 331 leviathan 102 331 gore. 103 331 How 104 331 now 105 331 in 106 331 the 107 331 contemplative 108 331 evening 109 331 of 110 331 his 111 331 days, 112 331 the 113 331 pious 114 331 Bildad 115 331 reconciled 116 331 these 117 331 things 118 331 in 119 331 the 120 331 reminiscence, 121 331 I 122 331 do 123 331 not 124 331 know; 125 331 but 126 331 it 127 331 did 128 331 not 129 331 seem 130 331 to 131 331 concern 132 331 him 133 331 much, 134 331 and 135 331 very 136 331 probably 137 331 he 138 331 had 139 331 long 140 331 since 141 331 come 142 331 to 143 331 the 144 331 sage 145 331 and 146 331 sensible 147 331 conclusion 148 331 that 149 331 a 150 331 man's 151 331 religion 152 331 is 153 331 one 154 331 thing, 155 331 and 156 331 this 157 331 practical 158 331 world 159 331 quite 160 331 another. 161 331 This 162 331 world 163 331 pays 164 331 dividends. 165 331 Rising 166 331 from 167 331 a 168 331 little 169 331 cabin-boy 170 331 in 171 331 short 172 331 clothes 173 331 of 174 331 the 175 331 drabbest 176 331 drab, 177 331 to 178 331 a 179 331 harpooneer 180 331 in 181 331 a 182 331 broad 183 331 shad-bellied 184 331 waistcoat; 185 331 from 186 331 that 187 331 becoming 188 331 boat-header, 189 331 chief-mate, 190 331 and 191 331 captain, 192 331 and 193 331 finally 194 331 a 195 331 ship 196 331 owner; 197 331 Bildad, 198 331 as 199 331 I 200 331 hinted 201 331 before, 202 331 had 203 331 concluded 204 331 his 205 331 adventurous 206 331 career 207 331 by 208 331 wholly 209 331 retiring 210 331 from 211 331 active 212 331 life 213 331 at 214 331 the 215 331 goodly 216 331 age 217 331 of 218 331 sixty, 219 331 and 220 331 dedicating 221 331 his 222 331 remaining 223 331 days 224 331 to 225 331 the 226 331 quiet 227 331 receiving 228 331 of 229 331 his 230 331 well-earned 231 331 income. 232 331 Now, 233 331 Bildad, 234 331 I 235 331 am 236 331 sorry 237 331 to 238 331 say, 239 331 had 240 331 the 241 331 reputation 242 331 of 243 331 being 244 331 an 245 331 incorrigible 246 331 old 247 331 hunks, 248 331 and 249 331 in 250 331 his 251 331 sea-going 252 331 days, 253 331 a 254 331 bitter, 255 331 hard 256 331 task-master. 257 331 They 258 331 told 259 331 me 260 331 in 261 331 Nantucket, 262 331 though 263 331 it 264 331 certainly 265 331 seems 266 331 a 267 331 curious 268 331 story, 269 331 that 270 331 when 271 331 he 272 331 sailed 273 331 the 274 331 old 275 331 Categut 276 331 whaleman, 277 331 his 278 331 crew, 279 331 upon 280 331 arriving 281 331 home, 282 331 were 283 331 mostly 284 331 all 285 331 carried 286 331 ashore 287 331 to 288 331 the 289 331 hospital, 290 331 sore 291 331 exhausted 292 331 and 293 331 worn 294 331 out. 295 331 For 296 331 a 297 331 pious 298 331 man, 299 331 especially 300 331 for 301 331 a 302 331 Quaker, 303 331 he 304 331 was 305 331 certainly 306 331 rather 307 331 hard-hearted, 308 331 to 309 331 say 310 331 the 311 331 least. 312 331 He 313 331 never 314 331 used 315 331 to 316 331 swear, 317 331 though, 318 331 at 319 331 his 320 331 men, 321 331 they 322 331 said; 323 331 but 324 331 somehow 325 331 he 326 331 got 327 331 an 328 331 inordinate 329 331 quantity 330 331 of 1 332 cruel, 3 332 unmitigated 5 332 hard 7 332 work 9 332 out 11 332 of 13 332 them. 15 332 When 17 332 Bildad 19 332 was 21 332 a 23 332 chief-mate, 25 332 to 27 332 have 29 332 his 31 332 drab-coloured 33 332 eye 35 332 intently 37 332 looking 39 332 at 41 332 you, 43 332 made 45 332 you 47 332 feel 49 332 completely 51 332 nervous, 53 332 till 55 332 you 57 332 could 59 332 clutch 61 332 something--a 63 332 hammer 65 332 or 67 332 a 69 332 marling-spike, 71 332 and 73 332 go 75 332 to 77 332 work 79 332 like 81 332 mad, 85 332 at 87 332 something 89 332 or 91 332 other, 93 332 never 95 332 mind 97 332 what. 99 332 Indolence 101 332 and 103 332 idleness 105 332 perished 107 332 before 109 332 him. 111 332 His 113 332 own 115 332 person 117 332 was 119 332 the 121 332 exact 123 332 embodiment 125 332 of 127 332 his 129 332 utilitarian 131 332 character. 133 332 On 135 332 his 137 332 long, 139 332 gaunt 141 332 body, 143 332 he 145 332 carried 147 332 no 149 332 spare 151 332 flesh, 153 332 no 155 332 superfluous 157 332 beard, 159 332 his 161 332 chin 163 332 having 165 332 a 167 332 soft, 169 332 economical 171 332 nap 173 332 to 175 332 it, 177 332 like 179 332 the 181 332 worn 183 332 nap 185 332 of 187 332 his 189 332 broad-brimmed 191 332 hat. 193 332 Such, 195 332 then, 197 332 was 199 332 the 201 332 person 203 332 that 205 332 I 207 332 saw 209 332 seated 211 332 on 213 332 the 215 332 transom 217 332 when 219 332 I 221 332 followed 223 332 Captain 225 332 Peleg 227 332 down 229 332 into 231 332 the 233 332 cabin. 235 332 The 237 332 space 239 332 between 241 332 the 243 332 decks 245 332 was 247 332 small; 251 332 and 253 332 there, 255 332 bolt-upright, 257 332 sat 259 332 old 261 332 Bildad, 263 332 who 265 332 always 267 332 sat 269 332 so, 271 332 and 273 332 never 275 332 leaned, 277 332 and 279 332 this 281 332 to 283 332 save 285 332 his 287 332 coat 289 332 tails. 291 332 His 293 332 broad-brim 295 332 was 297 332 placed 299 332 beside 301 332 him; 303 332 his 305 332 legs 307 332 were 309 332 stiffly 311 332 crossed; 313 332 his 315 332 drab 317 332 vesture 319 332 was 321 332 buttoned 323 332 up 325 332 to 327 332 his 329 332 chin; 331 332 and 1 333 spectacles 2 333 on 4 333 nose, 5 333 he 7 333 seemed 8 333 absorbed 10 333 in 11 333 reading 13 333 from 14 333 a 16 333 ponderous 17 333 volume. 19 333 "Bildad," 20 333 cried 22 333 Captain 23 333 Peleg, 25 333 "at 26 333 it 28 333 again, 29 333 Bildad, 31 333 eh? 32 333 Ye 34 333 have 35 333 been 38 333 studying 40 333 those 41 333 Scriptures, 43 333 now, 44 333 for 46 333 the 47 333 last 49 333 thirty 50 333 years, 52 333 to 53 333 my 55 333 certain 56 333 knowledge. 58 333 How 59 333 far 61 333 ye 62 333 got, 64 333 Bildad?" 65 333 As 67 333 if 68 333 long 70 333 habituated 71 333 to 73 333 such 76 333 profane 77 333 talk 79 333 from 80 333 his 82 333 old 83 333 shipmate, 85 333 Bildad, 86 333 without 88 333 noticing 89 333 his 91 333 present 92 333 irreverence, 94 333 quietly 95 333 looked 97 333 up, 98 333 and 100 333 seeing 101 333 me, 103 333 glanced 104 333 again 106 333 inquiringly 107 333 towards 109 333 Peleg. 110 333 "He 112 333 says 113 333 he's 115 333 our 116 333 man, 118 333 Bildad," 119 333 said 121 333 Peleg, 122 333 "he 124 333 wants 125 333 to 127 333 ship." 128 333 "Dost 130 333 thee?" 131 333 said 133 333 Bildad, 134 333 in 136 333 a 137 333 hollow 139 333 tone, 140 333 and 142 333 turning 143 333 round 145 333 to 146 333 me. 149 333 "I 151 333 dost," 152 333 said 154 333 I 155 333 unconsciously, 157 333 he 158 333 was 160 333 so 161 333 intense 163 333 a 164 333 Quaker. 166 333 "What 167 333 do 169 333 ye 170 333 think 172 333 of 173 333 him, 175 333 Bildad?" 176 333 said 178 333 Peleg. 179 333 "He'll 181 333 do," 182 333 said 184 333 Bildad, 187 333 eyeing 188 333 me, 190 333 and 191 333 then 193 333 went 194 333 on 196 333 spelling 197 333 away 199 333 at 200 333 his 202 333 book 203 333 in 205 333 a 206 333 mumbling 208 333 tone 209 333 quite 211 333 audible. 212 333 I 214 333 thought 215 333 him 217 333 the 218 333 queerest 220 333 old 221 333 Quaker 223 333 I 224 333 ever 226 333 saw, 227 333 especially 229 333 as 230 333 Peleg, 232 333 his 233 333 friend 235 333 and 236 333 old 238 333 shipmate, 239 333 seemed 241 333 such 242 333 a 244 333 blusterer. 245 333 But 247 333 I 248 333 said 250 333 nothing, 251 333 only 253 333 looking 254 333 round 256 333 me 257 333 sharply. 260 333 Peleg 262 333 now 263 333 threw 265 333 open 266 333 a 268 333 chest, 269 333 and 271 333 drawing 272 333 forth 274 333 the 275 333 ship's 277 333 articles, 278 333 placed 280 333 pen 281 333 and 283 333 ink 284 333 before 286 333 him, 287 333 and 289 333 seated 290 333 himself 292 333 at 293 333 a 295 333 little 298 333 table. 299 333 I 301 333 began 302 333 to 304 333 think 305 333 it 307 333 was 308 333 high 310 333 time 311 333 to 313 333 settle 314 333 with 316 333 myself 317 333 at 319 333 what 320 333 terms 322 333 I 323 333 would 325 333 be 326 333 willing 328 333 to 329 333 engage 331 333 for 332 333 the 1 334 voyage. 3 334 I 5 334 was 7 334 already 9 334 aware 11 334 that 13 334 in 15 334 the 17 334 whaling 19 334 business 21 334 they 23 334 paid 25 334 no 27 334 wages; 29 334 but 31 334 all 33 334 hands, 35 334 including 37 334 the 39 334 captain, 41 334 received 43 334 certain 45 334 shares 47 334 of 49 334 the 51 334 profits 53 334 called 55 334 lays, 57 334 and 59 334 that 61 334 these 63 334 lays 65 334 were 67 334 proportioned 69 334 to 71 334 the 73 334 degree 75 334 of 77 334 importance 79 334 pertaining 81 334 to 83 334 the 85 334 respective 87 334 duties 89 334 of 91 334 the 93 334 ship's 95 334 company. 97 334 I 99 334 was 101 334 also 103 334 aware 105 334 that 107 334 being 109 334 a 111 334 green 113 334 hand 115 334 at 117 334 whaling, 119 334 my 121 334 own 123 334 lay 125 334 would 127 334 not 129 334 be 131 334 very 133 334 large; 135 334 but 137 334 considering 139 334 that 141 334 I 143 334 was 145 334 used 147 334 to 149 334 the 151 334 sea, 153 334 could 155 334 steer 157 334 a 159 334 ship, 161 334 splice 163 334 a 165 334 rope, 169 334 and 171 334 all 173 334 that, 175 334 I 177 334 made 179 334 no 181 334 doubt 183 334 that 185 334 from 187 334 all 189 334 I 191 334 had 193 334 heard 195 334 I 197 334 should 199 334 be 201 334 offered 203 334 at 205 334 least 207 334 the 209 334 275th 211 334 lay--that 213 334 is, 215 334 the 217 334 275th 219 334 part 221 334 of 223 334 the 225 334 clear 227 334 net 229 334 proceeds 231 334 of 233 334 the 235 334 voyage, 237 334 whatever 239 334 that 241 334 might 243 334 eventually 245 334 amount 247 334 to. 249 334 And 251 334 though 253 334 the 255 334 275th 257 334 lay 259 334 was 261 334 what 263 334 they 265 334 call 267 334 a 269 334 rather 271 334 LONG 273 334 LAY, 275 334 yet 277 334 it 279 334 was 281 334 better 283 334 than 285 334 nothing; 287 334 and 289 334 if 291 334 we 293 334 had 295 334 a 297 334 lucky 299 334 voyage, 301 334 might 303 334 pretty 305 334 nearly 307 334 pay 309 334 for 311 334 the 313 334 clothing 315 334 I 317 334 would 319 334 wear 321 334 out 323 334 on 325 334 it, 327 334 not 329 334 to 331 334 speak 333 334 of 1 335 my 2 335 three 3 335 years' 4 335 beef 6 335 and 7 335 board, 8 335 for 9 335 which 11 335 I 12 335 would 13 335 not 14 335 have 16 335 to 17 335 pay 18 335 one 19 335 stiver. 21 335 It 22 335 might 23 335 be 24 335 thought 26 335 that 27 335 this 28 335 was 29 335 a 31 335 poor 32 335 way 33 335 to 34 335 accumulate 36 335 a 37 335 princely 38 335 fortune--and 39 335 so 41 335 it 42 335 was, 43 335 a 44 335 very 46 335 poor 47 335 way 48 335 indeed. 49 335 But 51 335 I 52 335 am 53 335 one 54 335 of 56 335 those 57 335 that 58 335 never 59 335 take 61 335 on 62 335 about 63 335 princely 64 335 fortunes, 66 335 and 68 335 am 69 335 quite 71 335 content 72 335 if 73 335 the 74 335 world 76 335 is 77 335 ready 78 335 to 79 335 board 81 335 and 82 335 lodge 83 335 me, 84 335 while 86 335 I 87 335 am 88 335 putting 89 335 up 91 335 at 92 335 this 93 335 grim 94 335 sign 96 335 of 97 335 the 98 335 Thunder 99 335 Cloud. 101 335 Upon 102 335 the 103 335 whole, 104 335 I 106 335 thought 107 335 that 108 335 the 109 335 275th 111 335 lay 112 335 would 113 335 be 114 335 about 116 335 the 117 335 fair 118 335 thing, 119 335 but 121 335 would 122 335 not 123 335 have 124 335 been 126 335 surprised 127 335 had 128 335 I 129 335 been 131 335 offered 132 335 the 133 335 200th, 136 335 considering 137 335 I 138 335 was 139 335 of 141 335 a 142 335 broad-shouldered 143 335 make. 144 335 But 146 335 one 147 335 thing, 148 335 nevertheless, 149 335 that 151 335 made 152 335 me 153 335 a 154 335 little 156 335 distrustful 157 335 about 158 335 receiving 159 335 a 161 335 generous 162 335 share 163 335 of 164 335 the 166 335 profits 167 335 was 168 335 this: 169 335 Ashore, 171 335 I 172 335 had 173 335 heard 174 335 something 176 335 of 177 335 both 178 335 Captain 179 335 Peleg 181 335 and 182 335 his 183 335 unaccountable 184 335 old 186 335 crony 187 335 Bildad; 188 335 how 189 335 that 191 335 they 192 335 being 193 335 the 194 335 principal 196 335 proprietors 197 335 of 198 335 the 199 335 Pequod, 202 335 therefore 203 335 the 204 335 other 206 335 and 207 335 more 208 335 inconsiderable 209 335 and 211 335 scattered 212 335 owners, 213 335 left 214 335 nearly 216 335 the 217 335 whole 218 335 management 219 335 of 221 335 the 222 335 ship's 223 335 affairs 224 335 to 226 335 these 227 335 two. 228 335 And 229 335 I 231 335 did 232 335 not 233 335 know 234 335 but 236 335 what 237 335 the 238 335 stingy 239 335 old 241 335 Bildad 242 335 might 243 335 have 244 335 a 246 335 mighty 247 335 deal 248 335 to 249 335 say 251 335 about 252 335 shipping 253 335 hands, 254 335 especially 256 335 as 257 335 I 258 335 now 259 335 found 261 335 him 262 335 on 263 335 board 264 335 the 266 335 Pequod, 267 335 quite 269 335 at 271 335 home 272 335 there 273 335 in 274 335 the 276 335 cabin, 277 335 and 278 335 reading 279 335 his 281 335 Bible 282 335 as 283 335 if 284 335 at 286 335 his 287 335 own 288 335 fireside. 289 335 Now 291 335 while 292 335 Peleg 293 335 was 294 335 vainly 296 335 trying 297 335 to 298 335 mend 299 335 a 301 335 pen 302 335 with 303 335 his 304 335 jack-knife, 306 335 old 307 335 Bildad, 308 335 to 309 335 my 311 335 no 312 335 small 313 335 surprise, 314 335 considering 316 335 that 317 335 he 318 335 was 319 335 such 321 335 an 322 335 interested 323 335 party 324 335 in 326 335 these 327 335 proceedings; 328 335 Bildad 329 335 never 331 335 heeded 332 335 us, 333 335 but 334 335 went 1 336 on 5 336 mumbling 11 336 to 13 336 himself 17 336 out 19 336 of 23 336 his 25 336 book, 29 336 "LAY 31 336 not 37 336 up 41 336

143 336 reply, 145 336 "the 149 336 seven 151 336 hundred 155 336 and 157 336 seventy-seventh 163 336 wouldn't 167 336 be 169 336 too 173 336 much, 179 336 would 181 336 it?--'where 185 336 moth 187

an 4 337 exceedingly 5 337 LONG 6 337 LAY 7 337 that, 8 337 indeed; 9 337 and 10 337 though 11 337 from 12 337 the 13 337 magnitude 14 337 of 15 337 the 16 337 figure 17 337 it 18 337 might 19 337 at 20 337 first 21 337 deceive 22 337 a 23 337 landsman, 24 337 yet 25 337 the 26 337 slightest 27 337 consideration 28 337 will 29 337 show 30 337 that 31 337 though 32 337 seven 33 337 hundred 34 337 and 35 337 seventy-seven 36 337 is 37 337 a 38 337 pretty 39 337 large 40 337 number, 41 337 yet, 42 337 when 43 337 you 44 337 come 45 337 to 46 337 make 47 337 a 48 337 TEENTH 49 337 of 50 337 it, 51 337 you 52 337 will 53 337 then 54 337 see, 55 337 I 56 337 say, 57 337 that 58 337 the 59 337 seven 60 337 hundred 61 337 and 62 337 seventy-seventh 63 337 part 64 337 of 65 337 a 66 337 farthing

thought 83 337 at 84 337 the 85 337 time. 86 337 "Why, 87 337 blast 88 337 your 89 337 eyes, 90 337 Bildad," 91 337 cried 92 337 Peleg, 93 337 "thou 94 337 dost 95 337 not 96 337 want 97 337 to 98 337

337 again 113 337 said 114 337 Bildad, 115 337 without 116 337 lifting 117 337 his 118 337 eyes; 119 337 and 120 337 then 121 337 went 122 337 on 123 337 mumbling--"for 124 337 where 125 337 your 126 337 treasure 127 337 is, 128 337 there 129 337 will 130 337 your 131 337 heart 132 337 be 133 337 also." 134 337 "I 135 337 am 136 337 going 137 337 to 138 337 put 139 337 him 140 337 down 141 337 for 142 337 the 143 337 three 144 337 hundredth," 145 337 said 146 337 Peleg, 147 337 "do 148 337 ye 149 337 hear 150 337 that, 151 337 Bildad! 152 337 The 153 337 three 154 337 hundredth 155 337 lay, 156 337 I 157 337 say." 158 337 Bildad 159 337 laid 160 337 down 161 337 his 162 337 book, 163 337 and 164 337 turning 165 337 solemnly 166 337 towards 167 337 him 168 337 said, 169 337 "Captain 170 337 Peleg, 171 337 thou 172 337 hast 173 337 a 174 337 generous 175 337 heart; 176 337 but 177 337 thou 178 337 must 179 337 consider 180 337 the 181 337 duty 182 337 thou 183 337 owest 184 337 to 185 337

"Thou 229 337 Bildad!" 230 337 roared 231 337 Peleg, 232 337 starting 233 337 up 234 337 and 235 337 clattering 236 337 about 237 337 the 238 337 cabin. 239 337 "Blast 240 337 ye, 241 337 Captain 242

339 astonishment, 8 339 he 10 339 sat 11 339 down 13 339 again 14 339 on 16 339 the 17 339 transom 19 339 very 20 339 quietly, 22 339 and 23 339 seemed 25 339 to 26 339 have 28 339 not 29 339 the 31 339 slightest 32 339 intention 34 339 of 35 339 withdrawing. 37 339 He 38 339 seemed 40 339 quite 41 339 used 43 339 to 44 339 impenitent 46 339 Peleg 47 339 and 49 339 his 50 339 ways. 52 339 As 53 339 for 55 339 Peleg, 56 339 after 58 339 letting 59 339 off 61 339 his 62 339 rage 64 339 as 65 339 he 67 339 had, 68 339 there 70 339 seemed 71 339 no 73 339 more 74 339 left 76 339 in 77 339 him, 79 339 and 80 339 he, 82 339 too, 83 339 sat 85 339 down 86 339 like 88 339 a 89 339 lamb, 91 339 though 92 339 he 94 339 twitched 95 339 a 97 339 little 98 339 as 100 339 if 101 339 still 103 339 nervously 104 339 agitated. 106 339 "Whew!" 107 339 he 109 339 whistled 110 339 at 112 339 last--"the 115 339 squall's 116 339 gone 118 339 off 119 339 to 121 339 leeward, 122 339 I 124 339 think. 125 339 Bildad, 127 339 thou 128 339 used 130 339 to 131 339 be 133 339 good 134 339 at 136 339 sharpening 137 339 a 139 339 lance, 140 339 mend 142 339 that 143 339 pen, 145 339 will 146 339 ye. 148 339 My 149 339 jack-knife 151 339 here 152 339 needs 154 339 the 155 339 grindstone. 157 339 That's 158 339 he; 160 339 thank 161 339 ye, 163 339 Bildad. 164 339 Now 166 339 then, 167 339 my 169 339 young 170 339 man, 172 339 Ishmael's 173 339 thy 175 339 name, 176 339 didn't 178 339 ye 179 339 say? 181 339 Well 182 339 then, 184 339 down 185 339 ye 187 339 go 188 339 here, 190 339 Ishmael, 191 339 for 193 339 the 194 339 three 196 339 hundredth 197 339 lay." 199 339 "Captain 200 339 Peleg," 202 339 said 203 339 I, 205 339 "I 206 339 have 208 339 a 209 339 friend 211 339 with 212 339 me 214 339 who 215 339 wants 217 339 to 218 339 ship 220 339 too--shall 221 339 I 223 339 bring 224 339 him 227 339 down 229 339 to-morrow?" 230 339 "To 232 339 be 233 339 sure," 235 339 said 236 339 Peleg. 238 339 "Fetch 239 339 him 241 339 along, 242 339 and 244 339 we'll 245 339 look 247 339 at 248 339 him." 250 339 "What 251 339 lay 253 339 does 254 339 he 256 339 want?" 257 339 groaned 259 339 Bildad, 260 339 glancing 262 339 up 263 339 from 265 339 the 266 339 book 268 339 in 269 339 which 271 339 he 272 339 had 274 339 again 275 339 been 277 339 burying 278 339 himself. 280 339 "Oh! 281 339 never 283 339 thee 284 339 mind 286 339 about 287 339 that, 289 339 Bildad," 290 339 said 292 339 Peleg. 293 339 "Has 295 339 he 296 339 ever 298 339 whaled 299 339 it 301 339 any?" 302 339 turning 304 339 to 305 339 me. 307 339 "Killed 308 339 more 310 339 whales 311 339 than 313 339 I 314 339 can 316 339 count, 317 339 Captain 319 339 Peleg." 320 339 "Well, 322 339 bring 323 339 him 325 339 along 326 339 then." 328 339 And, 329 339 after 331 339 signing 332 339 the 334 339 papers, 335 339 off 337 339 I 338 339 went; 1 340 nothing 3 340 doubting 7 340 but 9 340 that 11 340 I 13 340 had 19 340 done 21 340 a 23 340 good 27 340 morning's 29 340 work, 31 340 and 33 340 that 37 340 the 39 340 Pequod 41 340 was 43 340 the 47 340 identical 49 340 ship 53 340 that 57 340 Yojo 59 340 had 61 340 provided 63 340 to 67 340 carry 69 340 Queequeg 71 340 and 73 340 me 77 340 round 79 340 the 81 340 Cape. 83 340 But 87 340 I 89 340 had 91 340 not 93 340 proceeded 97 340 far, 99 340 when 101 340 I 103 340 began 107 340 to 109 340 bethink 111 340 me 113 340 that 117 340 the 121 340 Captain 123 340 with 127 340 whom 129 340 I 131 340 was 133 340 to 137 340 sail 139 340 yet 141 340 remained 143 340 unseen 147 340 by 149 340 me; 151 340 though, 157 340 indeed, 159 340 in 161 340 many 163 340 cases, 167 340 a 169 340 whale-ship 171 340 will 173 340 be 177 340 completely 179 340 fitted 181 340 out, 183 340 and 189 340 receive 191 340 all 193 340 her 197 340 crew 199 340 on 201 340 board, 203 340 ere 207 340 the 209 340 captain 211 340 makes 213 340 himself 217 340 visible 219 340 by 223 340 arriving 227 340 to 229 340 take 231 340 command; 233 340 for 237 340 sometimes 239 340 these 241 340 voyages 243 340 are 247 340 so 249 340 prolonged, 251 340 and 253 340 the 257 340 shore 259 340 intervals 261 340 at 263 340 home 267 340 so 269 340 exceedingly 271 340 brief, 273 340 that 277 340 if 279 340 the 281 340 captain 283 340 have 287 340 a 291 340 family, 293 340 or 297 340 any 299 340 absorbing 301 340 concernment 303 340 of 307 340 that 309 340 sort, 311 340 he 313 340 does 317 340 not 319 340 trouble 321 340 himself 327 340 much 329 340 about 331 340 his 333 340 ship 337 340 in 339 340 port, 1 341 but 2 341 leaves 3 341 her 4 341 to 5 341 the 6 341 owners 7 341 till 8 341 all 9 341 is 10 341 ready 12 341 for 13 341 sea. 14 341 However, 15 341 it 16 341 is 17 341 always 18 341 as 19 341 well 20 341 to 21 341 have 23 341 a 24 341 look 25 341 at 26 341 him 27 341 before 28 341 irrevocably 29 341 committing 30 341 yourself 32 341 into 34 341 his 35 341 hands. 36 341 Turning 37 341 back 38 341 I 39 341 accosted 40 341 Captain 41 341 Peleg, 42 341 inquiring 43 341 where 45 341 Captain 46 341 Ahab 47 341 was 48 341 to 49 341 be 50 341 found. 51 341 "And 52 341 what 53 341 dost 54 341 thou 56 341 want 57 341 of 58 341 Captain 59 341 Ahab? 60 341 It's 61 341 all 63 341 right 64 341 enough; 65 341 thou 67 341 art 68 341 shipped." 69 341 "Yes, 70 341 but 71 341 I 72 341 should 73 341 like 74 341 to 75 341 see 76 341 him." 78 341 "But 79 341 I 80 341 don't 81 341 think 82 341 thou 83 341 wilt 84 341 be 85 341 able 86 341 to 87 341 at 89 341 present. 90 341 I 91 341 don't 92 341 know 94 341 exactly 95 341 what's 96 341 the 97 341 matter 98 341 with 100 341 him; 101 341 but 102 341 he 103 341 keeps 104 341 close 105 341 inside 106 341 the 107 341 house; 108 341 a 109 341 sort 111 341 of 112 341 sick, 113 341 and 114 341 yet 115 341 he 116 341 don't 117 341 look 118 341 so. 119 341 In 120 341 fact, 122 341 he 123 341 ain't 125 341 sick; 126 341 but 127 341 no, 128 341 he 129 341 isn't 130 341 well 131 341 either. 133 341 Any 134 341 how, 135 341 young 136 341 man, 137 341 he 138 341 won't 139 341 always 140 341 see 141 341 me, 142 341 so 144 341 I 145 341 don't 146 341 suppose 147 341 he 148 341 will 149 341 thee. 150 341 He's 151 341 a 152 341 queer 153 341 man, 156 341 Captain 157 341 Ahab--so 158 341 some 159 341 think--but 160 341 a 161 341 good 162 341 one. 163 341 Oh, 164 341 thou'lt 166 341 like 167 341 him 168 341 well 169 341 enough; 170 341 no 171 341 fear, 172 341 no 173 341 fear. 174 341 He's 175 341 a 177 341 grand, 178 341 ungodly, 179 341 god-like 180 341 man, 181 341 Captain 182 341 Ahab; 183 341 doesn't 184 341 speak 185 341 much; 188 341 but, 189 341 when 190 341 he 191 341 does 192 341 speak, 193 341 then 194 341 you 195 341 may 196 341 well 197 341 listen. 199 341 Mark 200 341 ye, 201 341 be 202 341 forewarned; 203 341 Ahab's 204 341 above 205 341 the 206 341 common; 207 341 Ahab's 208 341 been 210 341 in 211 341 colleges, 212 341 as 213 341 well 214 341 as 215 341 'mong 216 341 the 218 341 cannibals; 219 341 been 221 341 used 222 341 to 223 341 deeper 224 341 wonders 225 341 than 226 341 the 227 341 waves; 228 341 fixed 229 341 his 230 341 fiery 232 341 lance 233 341 in 234 341 mightier, 235 341 stranger 236 341 foes 237 341 than 238 341 whales. 239 341 His 240 341 lance! 241 341 aye, 243 341 the 244 341 keenest 245 341 and 246 341 the 247 341 surest 249 341 that 250 341 out 251 341 of 252 341 all 254 341 our 255 341 isle! 256 341 Oh! 257 341 he 258 341 ain't 259 341 Captain 260 341 Bildad; 261 341 no, 262 341 and 263 341 he 265 341 ain't 266 341 Captain 267 341 Peleg; 268 341 HE'S 269 341 AHAB, 270 341 boy; 271 341 and 272 341 Ahab 273 341 of 274 341 old, 276 341 thou 277 341 knowest, 278 341 was 280 341 a 281 341 crowned 282 341 king!" 283 341 "And 284 341 a 285 341 very 287 341 vile 288 341 one. 289 341 When 290 341 that 291 341 wicked 292 341 king 293 341 was 294 341 slain, 295 341 the 296 341 dogs, 298 341 did 299 341 they 300 341 not 301 341 lick 302 341 his 303 341 blood?" 304 341 "Come 305 341 hither 306 341 to 307 341 me--hither, 309 341 hither," 311 341 said 312 341 Peleg, 313 341 with 314 341 a 315 341 significance 316 341 in 317 341 his 318 341 eye 320 341 that 321 341 almost 322 341 startled 323 341 me. 324 341 "Look 325 341 ye, 326 341 lad; 327 341 never 328 341 say 329 341 that 331 341 on 332 341 board 333 341 the 334 341 Pequod. 335 341 Never 336 341 say 337 341 it 338 341 anywhere. 339 341 Captain 340 341 Ahab 1 342 did 5 342 not 7 342 name 11 342 himself. 13 342 'Twas 17 342 a 23 342 foolish, 25 342 ignorant 29 342 whim 31 342 of 35 342 his 37 342 crazy, 41 342 widowed 43 342 mother, 47 342 who 49 342 died 53 342 when 55 342 he 59 342 was 61 342 only 65 342 a 67 342 twelvemonth 71 342 old. 73 342 And 77 342 yet 79 342 the 83 342 old 85 342 squaw 89 342 Tistig, 91 342 at 97 342 Gayhead, 101 342 said 103 342 that 107 342 the 109 342 name 113 342 would 115 342 somehow 119 342 prove 121 342 prophetic. 125 342 And, 127 342 perhaps, 131 342 other 137 342 fools 139 342 like 143 342 her 145 342 may 149 342 tell 151 342 thee 155 342 the 157 342 same. 161 342 I 163 342 wish 167 342 to 169 342 warn 173 342 thee. 175 342 It's 179 342 a 181 342 lie. 185 342 I 187 342 know 191 342 Captain 193 342 Ahab 197 342 well; 199 342 I've 203 342 sailed 205 342 with 211 342 him 215 342 as 217 342 mate 221 342 years 223 342 ago; 227 342 I 229 342 know 233 342 what 235 342 he 239 342 is--a 241 342 good 245 342 man--not 251 342 a 253 342 pious, 257 342 good 259 342 man, 263 342 like 265 342 Bildad, 269 342 but 271 342 a 275 342 swearing 277 342 good 281 342 man--something 283 342 like 287 342 me--only 289 342 there's 293 342 a 295 342 good 299 342 deal 301 342 more 305 342 of 307 342 him. 311 342 Aye, 313 342 aye, 317 342 I 319 342 know 325 342 that 329 342 he 331 342 was 335 342 never 337 342 very 341 342 jolly; 1 343 and 2 343 I 3 343 know 4 343 that 5 343 on 6 343 the 8 343 passage 9 343 home, 10 343 he 11 343 was 12 343 a 13 343 little 15 343 out 16 343 of 17 343 his 18 343 mind 19 343 for 20 343 a 22 343 spell; 23 343 but 24 343 it 25 343 was 26 343 the 27 343 sharp 29 343 shooting 30 343 pains 31 343 in 32 343 his 33 343 bleeding 34 343 stump 36 343 that 37 343 brought 38 343 that 39 343 about, 40 343 as 41 343 any 43 343 one 44 343 might 45 343 see. 46 343 I 47 343 know, 48 343 too, 50 343 that 51 343 ever 52 343 since 53 343 he 54 343 lost 55 343 his 57 343 leg 58 343 last 59 343 voyage 60 343 by 61 343 that 62 343 accursed 64 343 whale, 65 343 he's 66 343 been 67 343 a 68 343 kind 69 343 of 71 343 moody--desperate 72 343 moody, 73 343 and 74 343 savage 75 343 sometimes; 76 343 but 78 343 that 79 343 will 80 343 all 81 343 pass 82 343 off. 83 343 And 85 343 once 86 343 for 87 343 all, 88 343 let 89 343 me 90 343 tell 92 343 thee 93 343 and 94 343 assure 95 343 thee, 96 343 young 97 343 man, 99 343 it's 100 343 better 101 343 to 102 343 sail 103 343 with 104 343 a 106 343 moody 107 343 good 108 343 captain 109 343 than 110 343 a 111 343 laughing 113 343 bad 114 343 one. 115 343 So 116 343 good-bye 117 343 to 118 343 thee--and 120 343 wrong 121 343 not 122 343 Captain 123 343 Ahab, 124 343 because 125 343 he 127 343 happens 128 343 to 129 343 have 130 343 a 131 343 wicked 132 343 name. 134 343 Besides, 135 343 my 136 343 boy, 137 343 he 138 343 has 139 343 a 141 343 wife--not 142 343 three 143 343 voyages 144 343 wedded--a 145 343 sweet, 146 343 resigned 148 343 girl. 149 343 Think 150 343 of 151 343 that; 152 343 by 153 343 that 155 343 sweet 156 343 girl 157 343 that 158 343 old 159 343 man 160 343 has 162 343 a 163 343 child: 164 343 hold 165 343 ye 166 343 then 167 343 there 169 343 can 170 343 be 171 343 any 172 343 utter, 173 343 hopeless 174 343 harm 176 343 in 177 343 Ahab? 178 343 No, 179 343 no, 180 343 my 181 343 lad; 183 343 stricken, 184 343 blasted, 185 343 if 186 343 he 187 343 be, 188 343 Ahab 190 343 has 191 343 his 192 343 humanities!" 193 343 As 194 343 I 195 343 walked 197 343 away, 198 343 I 199 343 was 200 343 full 201 343 of 202 343 thoughtfulness; 204 343 what 205 343 had 206 343 been 207 343 incidentally 208 343 revealed 209 343 to 211 343 me 212 343 of 213 343 Captain 214 343 Ahab, 215 343 filled 216 343 me 218 343 with 219 343 a 220 343 certain 221 343 wild 222 343 vagueness 223 343 of 225 343 painfulness 226 343 concerning 227 343 him. 228 343 And 229 343 somehow, 230 343 at 232 343 the 233 343 time, 234 343 I 235 343 felt 236 343 a 237 343 sympathy 239 343 and 240 343 a 241 343 sorrow 242 343 for 243 343 him, 244 343 but 246 343 for 247 343 I 248 343 don't 249 343 know 250 343 what, 251 343 unless 253 343 it 254 343 was 255 343 the 256 343 cruel 257 343 loss 258 343 of 260 343 his 261 343 leg. 262 343 And 263 343 yet 264 343 I 265 343 also 267 343 felt 268 343 a 269 343 strange 270 343 awe 271 343 of 272 343 him; 274 343 but 275 343 that 276 343 sort 277 343 of 278 343 awe, 279 343 which 281 343 I 282 343 cannot 283 343 at 284 343 all 285 343 describe, 286 343 was 288 343 not 289 343 exactly 290 343 awe; 291 343 I 292 343 do 293 343 not 295 343 know 296 343 what 297 343 it 298 343 was. 299 343 But 300 343 I 302 343 felt 303 343 it; 304 343 and 305 343 it 306 343 did 307 343 not 309 343 disincline 310 343 me 311 343 towards 312 343 him; 313 343 though 314 343 I 316 343 felt 317 343 impatience 318 343 at 319 343 what 320 343 seemed 321 343 like 323 343 mystery 324 343 in 325 343 him, 326 343 so 327 343 imperfectly 328 343 as 330 343 he 331 343 was 332 343 known 333 343 to 334 343 me 335 343 then. 337 343 However, 338 343 my 339 343 thoughts 340 343 were 341 343 at 342 343 length 1 344 carried 3 344 in 5 344 other 7 344 directions, 9 344 so 11 344 that 13 344 for 15 344 the 17 344 present 19 344 dark 21 344 Ahab 23 344 slipped 25 344 my 27 344 mind. 29 344 CHAPTER 31 344 17 33 344 The 35 344 Ramadan. 37 344 As 39 344 Queequeg's 41 344 Ramadan, 45 344 or 47 344 Fasting 49 344 and 51 344 Humiliation, 53 344 was 55 344 to 57 344 continue 59 344 all 61 344 day, 63 344 I 65 344 did 67 344 not 69 344 choose 71 344 to 73 344 disturb 75 344 him 77 344 till 79 344 towards 81 344 night-fall; 83 344 for 85 344 I 87 344 cherish 89 344 the 91 344 greatest 93 344 respect 95 344 towards 97 344 everybody's 99 344 religious 101 344 obligations, 103 344 never 105 344 mind 107 344 how 109 344 comical, 111 344 and 113 344 could 115 344 not 117 344 find 119 344 it 121 344 in 123 344 my 125 344 heart 127 344 to 131 344 undervalue 133 344 even 135 344 a 137 344 congregation 139 344 of 141 344 ants 143 344 worshipping 145 344 a 147 344 toad-stool; 149 344 or 151 344 those 153 344 other 155 344 creatures 157 344 in 159 344 certain 161 344 parts 163 344 of 165 344 our 167 344 earth, 169 344 who 171 344 with 173 344 a 175 344 degree 177 344 of 179 344 footmanism 181 344 quite 183 344 unprecedented 185 344 in 187 344 other 189 344 planets, 191 344 bow 193 344 down 195 344 before 197 344 the 199 344 torso 201 344 of 203 344 a 205 344 deceased 207 344 landed 209 344 proprietor 211 344 merely 213 344 on 217 344 account 219 344 of 221 344 the 223 344 inordinate 225 344 possessions 227 344 yet 229 344 owned 231 344 and 233 344 rented 235 344 in 237 344 his 239 344 name. 241 344 I 243 344 say, 245 344 we 247 344 good 249 344 Presbyterian 251 344 Christians 253 344 should 255 344 be 257 344 charitable 259 344 in 261 344 these 263 344 things, 265 344 and 267 344 not 269 344 fancy 271 344 ourselves 273 344 so 275 344 vastly 277 344 superior 279 344 to 281 344 other 283 344 mortals, 285 344 pagans 287 344 and 289 344 what 291 344 not, 293 344 because 295 344 of 297 344 their 299 344 half-crazy 303 344 conceits 305 344 on 307 344 these 309 344 subjects. 311 344 There 313 344 was 315 344 Queequeg, 317 344 now, 319 344 certainly 321 344 entertaining 323 344 the 325 344 most 327 344 absurd 329 344 notions 331 344 about 333 344 Yojo 335 344 and 337 344 his 339 344 Ramadan;--but 341 344 what 343 344 of 1 345 that? 2 345 Queequeg 4 345 thought 7 345 he 8 345 knew 11 345 what 13 345 he 14 345 was 16 345 about, 17 345 I 19 345 suppose; 22 345 he 26 345 seemed 28 345 to 29 345 be 31 345 content; 32 345 and 34 345 there 37 345 let 38 345 him 41 345 rest. 43 345 All 44 345 our 47 345 arguing 49 345 with 52 345 him 53 345 would 56 345 not 58 345 avail; 59 345 let 61 345 him 62 345 be, 64 345 I 67 345 say: 68 345 and 71 345 Heaven 73 345 have 74 345 mercy 76 345 on 77 345 us 79 345 all--Presbyterians 82 345 and 83 345 Pagans 86 345 alike--for 88 345 we 89 345 are 91 345 all 94 345 somehow 97 345 dreadfully 98 345 cracked 101 345 about 103 345 the 104 345 head, 106 345 and 107 345 sadly 109 345 need 112 345 mending. 113 345 Towards 116 345 evening, 118 345 when 119 345 I 121 345 felt 122 345 assured 124 345 that 127 345 all 128 345 his 131 345 performances 133 345 and 134 345 rituals 136 345 must 137 345 be 139 345 over, 142 345 I 143 345 went 146 345 up 148 345 to 149 345 his 151 345 room 152 345 and 154 345 knocked 157 345 at 158 345 the 163 345 door; 164 345 but 166 345 no 167 345 answer. 169 345 I 172 345 tried 173 345 to 176 345 open 178 345 it, 179 345 but 181 345 it 182 345 was 187 345 fastened 188 345 inside. 191 345 "Queequeg," 193 345 said 194 345 I 196 345 softly 197 345 through 199 345 the 202 345 key-hole:--all 203 345 silent. 206 345 "I 208 345 say, 209 345 Queequeg! 211 345 why 212 345 don't 214 345 you 217 345 speak? 218 345 It's 221 345 I--Ishmael." 223 345 But 224 345 all 226 345 remained 227 345 still 229 345 as 232 345 before. 233 345 I 236 345 began 238 345 to 239 345 grow 241 345 alarmed. 242 345 I 244 345 had 247 345 allowed 248 345 him 251 345 such 254 345 abundant 256 345 time; 257 345 I 259 345 thought 262 345 he 263 345 might 266 345 have 268 345 had 269 345 an 271 345 apoplectic 272 345 fit. 274 345 I 277 345 looked 278 345 through 281 345 the 283 345 key-hole; 284 345 but 286 345 the 287 345 door 289 345 opening 292 345 into 293 345 an 296 345 odd 298 345 corner 301 345 of 302 345 the 304 345 room, 307 345 the 308 345 key-hole 311 345 prospect 313 345 was 314 345 but 316 345 a 317 345 crooked 319 345 and 323 345 sinister 326 345 one. 328 345 I 329 345 could 331 345 only 332 345 see 334 345 part 337 345 of 338 345 the 341 345 foot-board 343 345 of 344 345 the 1 346 bed 3 346 and 5 346 a 7 346 line 9 346 of 11 346 the 13 346 wall, 15 346 but 17 346 nothing 19 346 more. 21 346 I 23 346 was 25 346 surprised 27 346 to 29 346 behold 31 346 resting 33 346 against 35 346 the 37 346 wall 39 346 the 41 346 wooden 43 346 shaft 45 346 of 47 346 Queequeg's 49 346 harpoon, 51 346 which 53 346 the 55 346 landlady 57 346 the 59 346 evening 61 346 previous 63 346 had 65 346 taken 67 346 from 69 346 him, 71 346 before 73 346 our 75 346 mounting 77 346 to 79 346 the 81 346 chamber. 83 346 That's 85 346 strange, 87 346 thought 89 346 I; 91 346 but 93 346 at 95 346 any 97 346 rate, 99 346 since 101 346 the 103 346 harpoon 105 346 stands 107 346 yonder, 109 346 and 111 346 he 113 346 seldom 115 346 or 117 346 never 119 346 goes 121 346 abroad 123 346 without 125 346 it, 127 346 therefore 129 346 he 131 346 must 133 346 be 135 346 inside 137 346 here, 139 346 and 141 346 no 143 346 possible 145 346 mistake. 147 346 "Queequeg!--Queequeg!"--all 149 346 still. 151 346 Something 153 346 must 155 346 have 157 346 happened. 159 346 Apoplexy! 161 346 I 163 346 tried 165 346 to 167 346 burst 169 346 open 171 346 the 175 346 door; 177 346 but 179 346 it 181 346 stubbornly 183 346 resisted. 185 346 Running 187 346 down 189 346 stairs, 191 346 I 193 346 quickly 195 346 stated 197 346 my 199 346 suspicions 201 346 to 203 346 the 205 346 first 207 346 person 209 346 I 211 346 met--the 213 346 chamber-maid. 215 346 "La! 217 346 la!" 219 346 she 221 346 cried, 223 346 "I 225 346 thought 227 346 something 229 346 must 231 346 be 233 346 the 235 346 matter. 237 346 I 239 346 went 241 346 to 243 346 make 245 346 the 247 346 bed 249 346 after 251 346 breakfast, 253 346 and 255 346 the 257 346 door 259 346 was 261 346 locked; 263 346 and 265 346 not 267 346 a 269 346 mouse 271 346 to 273 346 be 275 346 heard; 277 346 and 279 346 it's 281 346 been 283 346 just 285 346 so 287 346 silent 289 346 ever 291 346 since. 293 346 But 295 346 I 297 346 thought, 299 346 may 301 346 be, 303 346 you 305 346 had 307 346 both 309 346 gone 311 346 off 313 346 and 315 346 locked 317 346 your 319 346 baggage 321 346 in 323 346 for 325 346 safe 327 346 keeping. 329 346 La! 331 346 la, 333 346 ma'am!--Mistress! 335 346 murder! 337 346 Mrs. 339 346 Hussey! 341 346 apoplexy!"--and 343 346 with 345 346 these 1 347 cries, 2 347 she 3 347 ran 4 347 towards 5 347 the 6 347 kitchen, 7 347 I 8 347 following. 9 347 Mrs. 10 347 Hussey 11 347 soon 12 347 appeared, 13 347 with 14 347 a 15 347 mustard-pot 16 347 in 17 347 one 18 347 hand 19 347 and 20 347 a 21 347 vinegar-cruet 22 347 in 23 347 the 24 347 other, 25 347 having 26 347 just 27 347 broken 28 347 away 29 347 from 30 347 the 31 347 occupation 32 347 of 33 347 attending 34 347 to 35 347 the 36 347 castors, 37 347 and 38 347 scolding 39 347 her 40 347 little 41 347 black 42 347 boy 43 347 meantime. 44 347 "Wood-house!" 45 347 cried 46 347 I, 47 347 "which 48 347 way 49 347 to 50 347 it? 51 347 Run 52 347 for 53 347 God's 54 347 sake, 55 347 and 56 347 fetch 57 347 something 58 347 to 59 347 pry 60 347 open 61 347 the 62 347 door--the 63 347 axe!--the 64 347 axe! 65 347 he's 66 347 had 67 347 a 68 347 stroke; 69 347 depend 70 347 upon 71 347 it!"--and 72 347 so 73 347 saying 74 347 I 75 347 was 76 347 unmethodically 77 347 rushing 78 347 up 79 347 stairs 80 347 again 81 347 empty-handed, 82 347 when 83 347 Mrs. 84 347 Hussey 85 347 interposed 86 347 the 87 347 mustard-pot 88 347 and 89 347 vinegar-cruet, 90 347 and 91 347 the 92 347 entire 93 347 castor 94 347 of 95 347 her 96 347 countenance. 97 347 "What's 98 347 the 99 347 matter 100 347 with 101 347 you, 102 347 young 103 347 man?" 104 347 "Get 105 347 the 106 347 axe! 107 347 For 108 347 God's 109 347 sake, 110 347 run 111 347 for 112 347 the 113 347 doctor, 114 347 some 115 347 one, 116 347 while 117 347 I 118 347 pry 119 347 it 120 347 open!" 121 347 "Look 122 347 here," 123 347 said 124 347 the 125 347 landlady, 126 347 quickly 127 347 putting 128 347 down 129 347 the 130 347 vinegar-cruet, 131 347 so 132 347 as 133 347 to 134 347 have 135 347 one 136 347 hand 137 347 free; 138 347 "look 139 347 here; 140 347 are 141 347 you 142 347 talking 143 347 about 144 347 prying 145 347 open 146 347 any 147 347 of 148 347 my 149 347 doors?"--and 150 347 with 151 347 that 152 347 she 153 347 seized 154 347 my 155 347 arm. 156 347 "What's 157 347 the 158 347 matter 159 347 with 160 347 you? 161 347 What's 162 347 the 163 347 matter 164 347 with 165 347 you, 166 347 shipmate?" 167 347 In 168 347 as 169 347 calm, 170 347 but 171 347 rapid 172 347 a 173 347 manner 174 347 as 175 347 possible, 176 347 I 177 347 gave 178 347 her 179 347 to 180 347 understand 181 347 the 182 347 whole 183 347 case. 184 347 Unconsciously 185 347 clapping 186 347 the 187 347 vinegar-cruet 188 347 to 189 347 one 190 347 side 191 347 of 192 347 her 193 347 nose, 194 347 she 195 347 ruminated 196 347 for 197 347 an 198 347 instant; 199 347 then 200 347 exclaimed--"No! 201 347 I 202 347 haven't 203 347 seen 204 347 it 205 347 since 206 347 I 207 347 put 208 347 it 209 347 there." 210 347 Running 211 347 to 212 347 a 213 347 little 214 347 closet 215 347 under 216 347 the 217 347 landing 218 347 of 219 347 the 220 347 stairs, 221 347 she 222 347 glanced 223 347 in, 224 347 and 225 347 returning, 226 347 told 227 347 me 228 347 that 229 347 Queequeg's 230 347 harpoon 231 347 was 232 347 missing. 233 347 "He's 234 347 killed 235 347 himself," 236 347 she 237 347 cried. 238 347 "It's 239 347 unfort'nate 240 347 Stiggs 241 347 done 242 347

force 331 347 open 332 347 the 333 347 door. 334 347 "I 335 347 don't 336 347 allow 337 347 it; 338 347 I 339 347 won't 340 347 have 341 347 my 342 347 premises 343 347 spoiled. 344 347 Go 345 347 for

348 side-pocket, 53 348 "here's 55 348 a 59 348 key 61 348 that'll 65 348 fit, 67 348 I 71 348 guess; 73 348 let's 77 348 see." 79 348 And 83 348 with 85 348 that, 89 348 she 91 348 turned 95 348 it 97 348 in 101 348 the 103 348 lock; 107 348 but, 109 348 alas! 113 348 Queequeg's 115 348 supplemental 119 348 bolt 121 348 remained 125 348 unwithdrawn 127 348 within. 131 348 "Have 133 348 to 137 348 burst 139 348 it 143 348 open," 149 348 said 151 348 I, 155 348 and 157 348 was 161 348 running 163 348 down 167 348 the 169 348 entry 173 348 a 175 348 little, 179 348 for 181 348 a 185 348 good 187 348 start, 191 348 when 193 348 the 197 348 landlady 199 348 caught 205 348 at 209 348 me, 211 348 again 215 348 vowing 217 348 I 221 348 should 223 348 not 227 348 break 229 348 down 233 348 her 235 348 premises; 239 348 but 241 348 I 245 348 tore 247 348 from 251 348 her, 253 348 and 257 348 with 259 348 a 263 348 sudden 265 348 bodily 269 348 rush 271 348 dashed 275 348 myself 277 348 full 281 348 against 283 348 the 287 348 mark. 289 348 With 293 348 a 295 348 prodigious 299 348 noise 301 348 the 305 348 door 307 348 flew 311 348 open, 313 348 and 317 348 the 323 348 knob 325 348 slamming 329 348 against 331 348 the 335 348 wall, 337 348 sent 341 348 the 343 348 plaster 347 348 to 1 349 the 2 349 ceiling; 3 349 and 4 349 there, 5 349 good 6 349 heavens! 7 349 there 8 349 sat 9 349 Queequeg, 10 349 altogether 11 349 cool 12 349 and 13 349 self-collected; 14 349 right 15 349 in 16 349 the 17 349 middle 18 349 of 19 349 the 20 349 room; 21 349 squatting 22 349 on 23 349 his 24 349 hams, 25 349 and 26 349 holding 27 349 Yojo 28 349 on 29 349 top 30 349 of 31 349 his 32 349 head. 33 349 He 34 349 looked 35 349 neither 36 349 one 37 349 way 38 349 nor 39 349 the 40 349 other 41 349 way, 42 349 but 43 349 sat 44 349 like 45 349 a 46 349 carved 47 349 image 48 349 with 49 349 scarce 50 349 a 51 349 sign 52 349 of 53 349 active 54 349 life. 55 349 "Queequeg," 56 349 said 57 349 I, 58 349 going 59 349 up 60 349 to 61 349 him, 62 349 "Queequeg, 63 349 what's 64 349 the 65 349 matter 66 349 with 67 349 you?" 68 349 "He 69 349 hain't 70 349 been 71 349 a 72 349 sittin' 73 349 so 74 349 all 75 349 day, 76 349 has 77 349 he?" 78 349 said 79 349 the 80 349 landlady. 81 349 But 82 349 all 83 349 we 84 349 said, 85 349 not 86 349 a 87 349 word 88 349 could 89 349 we 90 349 drag 91 349 out 92 349 of 93 349 him; 94 349 I 95 349 almost 96 349 felt 97 349 like 98 349 pushing 99 349 him 100 349 over, 101 349 so 102 349 as 103 349 to 104 349 change 105 349 his 106 349 position, 107 349 for 108 349 it 109 349 was 110 349 almost 111 349 intolerable, 112 349 it 113 349 seemed 114 349 so 115 349 painfully 116 349 and 117 349 unnaturally 118 349 constrained; 119 349 especially, 120 349 as 121 349 in 122 349 all 123 349 probability 124 349 he 125 349 had 126 349 been 127 349 sitting 128 349 so 129 349 for 130 349 upwards 131 349 of 132 349 eight 133 349 or 134 349 ten 135 349 hours, 136 349 going 137 349 too 138 349 without 139 349 his 140 349 regular 141 349 meals. 142 349 "Mrs. 143 349 Hussey," 144 349 said 145 349 I, 146 349 "he's 147 349 ALIVE 148 349 at 149 349 all 150 349 events; 151 349 so 152 349 leave 153 349 us, 154 349 if 155 349 you 156 349 please, 157 349 and 158 349 I 159 349 will 160 349 see 161 349 to 162 349 this 163 349 strange 164 349 affair 165 349 myself." 166 349 Closing 167 349 the 168 349 door 169 349 upon 170 349 the 171 349 landlady, 172 349 I 173 349 endeavored 174 349 to 175 349 prevail 176 349 upon 177 349 Queequeg 178 349 to 179 349 take 180 349 a 181 349 chair; 182 349 but 183 349 in 184 349 vain. 185 349 There 186 349 he 187 349 sat; 188 349 and 189 349 all 190 349 he 191 349 could 192 349 do--for 193 349 all 194 349 my 195 349 polite 196 349 arts 197 349 and 198 349 blandishments--he 199 349 would 200 349 not 201 349 move 202 349 a 203 349 peg, 204 349 nor 205 349 say 206 349 a 207 349 single 208 349 word, 209 349 nor 210 349 even 211 349 look 212 349 at 213 349 me, 214 349 nor 215 349 notice 216 349 my 217 349 presence 218 349 in 219 349 the 220 349 slightest 221 349 way. 222 349 I 223 349 wonder, 224 349 thought 225 349 I, 226 349 if 227 349 this 228 349 can 229 349 possibly 230 349 be 231 349 a 232 349 part 233 349 of 234 349 his 235 349 Ramadan; 236 349 do 237 349 they 238 349 fast 239 349 on 240 349 their 241 349 hams 242 349 that 243 349 way 244 349 in 245 349 his 246 349 native 247 349 island. 248 349 It 249 349 must 250 349 be 251 349 so; 252 349 yes, 253 349 it's 254 349 part 255 349 of 256 349 his 257 349 creed, 258 349 I 259 349 suppose; 260 349 well, 261 349 then, 262 349 let 263 349 him 264 349 rest; 265 349 he'll 266 349 get 267 349 up 268 349 sooner 269 349 or 270 349 later, 271 349 no 272 349 doubt. 273 349 It 274 349 can't 275 349 last 276 349 for 277 349 ever, 278 349 thank 279 349 God, 280 349 and 281 349 his 282 349 Ramadan 283 349 only 284 349 comes 285 349 once 286 349 a 287 349 year; 288 349 and 289 349 I 290 349 don't 291 349 believe 292 349 it's 293 349 very 294 349 punctual 295 349 then. 296 349 I 297 349 went 298 349 down 299 349 to 300 349 supper. 301 349 After 302 349 sitting 303 349 a 304 349 long 305 349 time 306 349 listening 307 349 to 308 349 the 309 349 long 310 349 stories 311 349 of 312 349 some 313 349 sailors 314 349 who 315 349 had 316 349 just 317 349 come 318 349 from 319 349 a 320 349 plum-pudding 321 349 voyage, 322 349 as 323 349 they 324 349 called 325 349 it 326 349 (that 327 349 is, 328 349 a 329 349 short 330 349 whaling-voyage 331 349 in 332 349 a 333 349 schooner 334 349 or 335 349 brig, 336 349 confined 337 349 to 338 349 the 339 349 north 340 349 of 341 349 the 342 349 line, 343 349 in 344 349 the 345 349 Atlantic 346 349 Ocean 347 349 only); 348 349 after 1 350 listening 3 350 to 9 350 these 11 350 plum-puddingers 13 350 till 17 350 nearly 19 350 eleven 23 350 o'clock, 27 350 I 29 350 went 31 350 up 33 350 stairs 37 350 to 39 350 go 41 350 to 43 350 bed, 47 350 feeling 51 350 quite 53 350 sure 57 350 by 59 350 this 61 350 time 67 350 Queequeg 69 350 must 71 350 certainly 73 350 have 79 350 brought 81 350 his 83 350 Ramadan 87 350 to 89 350 a 93 350 termination. 97 350 But 99 350 no; 101 350 there 103 350 he 107 350 was 109 350 just 111 350 where 113 350 I 117 350 had 121 350 left 123 350 him; 127 350 he 129 350 had 131 350 not 137 350 stirred 139 350 an 141 350 inch. 143 350 I 149 350 began 151 350 to 153 350 grow 157 350 vexed 159 350 with 163 350 him; 167 350 it 169 350 seemed 171 350 so 173 350 downright 177 350 senseless 179 350 and 181 350 insane 183 350 to 187 350 be 191 350 sitting 193 350 there 197 350 all 199 350 day 201 350 and 207 350 half 209 350 the 211 350 night 213 350 on 219 350 his 221 350 hams 223 350 in 227 350 a 229 350 cold 233 350 room, 237 350 holding 239 350 a 241 350 piece 243 350 of 247 350 wood 249 350 on 251 350 his 253 350 head. 257 350 "For 261 350 heaven's 263 350 sake, 267 350 Queequeg, 269 350 get 271 350 up 277 350 and 279 350 shake 281 350 yourself; 283 350 get 289 350 up 291 350 and 293 350 have 297 350 some 299 350 supper. 303 350 You'll 307 350 starve; 309 350 you'll 311 350 kill 313 350 yourself, 317 350 Queequeg." 319 350 But 321 350 not 323 350 a 327 350 word 331 350 did 333 350 he 337 350 reply. 339 350 Despairing 341 350 of 347 350 him, 349 350 therefore, 1 351 I 2 351 determined 4 351 to 5 351 go 7 351 to 8 351 bed 10 351 and 11 351 to 14 351 sleep; 16 351 and 17 351 no 19 351 doubt, 20 351 before 22 351 a 23 351 great 25 351 while, 28 351 he 29 351 would 31 351 follow 32 351 me. 34 351 But 35 351 previous 37 351 to 38 351 turning 40 351 in, 41 351 I 43 351 took 44 351 my 46 351 heavy 47 351 bearskin 49 351 jacket, 50 351 and 53 351 threw 55 351 it 56 351 over 58 351 him, 59 351 as 61 351 it 62 351 promised 64 351 to 67 351 be 68 351 a 70 351 very 71 351 cold 73 351 night; 74 351 and 76 351 he 77 351 had 79 351 nothing 80 351 but 82 351 his 83 351 ordinary 85 351 round 86 351 jacket 88 351 on. 89 351 For 92 351 some 94 351 time, 95 351 do 97 351 all 98 351 I 100 351 would, 101 351 I 103 351 could 106 351 not 107 351 get 109 351 into 110 351 the 112 351 faintest 113 351 doze. 115 351 I 116 351 had 118 351 blown 119 351 out 121 351 the 122 351 candle; 124 351 and 125 351 the 127 351 mere 128 351 thought 131 351 of 133 351 Queequeg--not 134 351 four 136 351 feet 137 351 off--sitting 139 351 there 140 351 in 142 351 that 145 351 uneasy 146 351 position, 148 351 stark 149 351 alone 151 351 in 152 351 the 154 351 cold 155 351 and 157 351 dark; 158 351 this 160 351 made 161 351 me 163 351 really 164 351 wretched. 166 351 Think 167 351 of 170 351 it; 172 351 sleeping 173 351 all 175 351 night 176 351 in 178 351 the 179 351 same 181 351 room 184 351 with 185 351 a 187 351 wide 188 351 awake 190 351 pagan 191 351 on 193 351 his 194 351 hams 196 351 in 197 351 this 199 351 dreary, 200 351 unaccountable 202 351 Ramadan! 203 351 But 205 351 somehow 206 351 I 209 351 dropped 211 351 off 212 351 at 214 351 last, 215 351 and 217 351 knew 218 351 nothing 220 351 more 223 351 till 224 351 break 226 351 of 227 351 day; 229 351 when, 230 351 looking 232 351 over 233 351 the 235 351 bedside, 236 351 there 238 351 squatted 239 351 Queequeg, 241 351 as 242 351 if 244 351 he 245 351 had 248 351 been 250 351 screwed 251 351 down 253 351 to 254 351 the 256 351 floor. 257 351 But 259 351 as 262 351 soon 263 351 as 265 351 the 266 351 first 268 351 glimpse 269 351 of 271 351 sun 272 351 entered 274 351 the 275 351 window, 277 351 up 278 351 he 280 351 got, 281 351 with 283 351 stiff 284 351 and 287 351 grating 289 351 joints, 290 351 but 292 351 with 293 351 a 295 351 cheerful 296 351 look; 298 351 limped 301 351 towards 302 351 me 304 351 where 305 351 I 307 351 lay; 308 351 pressed 310 351 his 311 351 forehead 313 351 again 314 351 against 316 351 mine; 317 351 and 319 351 said 320 351 his 322 351 Ramadan 323 351 was 326 351 over. 328 351 Now, 329 351 as 331 351 I 332 351 before 334 351 hinted, 335 351 I 337 351 have 340 351 no 341 351 objection 343 351 to 344 351 any 346 351 person's 347 351 religion, 349 351 be 350 351 it 1 352 what 3 352 it 5 352 may, 7 352 so 9 352 long 13 352 as 15 352 that 17 352 person 19 352 does 21 352 not 23 352 kill 25 352 or 27 352 insult 29 352 any 31 352 other 35 352 person, 37 352 because 39 352 that 41 352 other 43 352 person 45 352 don't 47 352 believe 49 352 it 51 352 also. 53 352 But 57 352 when 59 352 a 61 352 man's 63 352 religion 65 352 becomes 67 352 really 69 352 frantic; 71 352 when 73 352 it 75 352 is 79 352 a 81 352 positive 83 352 torment 85 352 to 87 352 him; 89 352 and, 91 352 in 93 352 fine, 95 352 makes 97 352 this 101 352 earth 103 352 of 105 352 ours 107 352 an 109 352 uncomfortable 111 352 inn 113 352 to 115 352 lodge 117 352 in; 119 352 then 123 352 I 125 352 think 127 352 it 129 352 high 131 352 time 133 352 to 135 352 take 137 352 that 139 352 individual 141 352 aside 145 352 and 147 352 argue 149 352 the 151 352 point 153 352 with 155 352 him. 157 352 And 159 352 just 161 352 so 163 352 I 167 352 now 169 352 did 171 352 with 173 352 Queequeg. 175 352 "Queequeg," 177 352 said 179 352 I, 181 352 "get 183 352 into 185 352 bed 189 352 now, 191 352 and 193 352 lie 195 352 and 197 352 listen 199 352 to 201 352 me." 203 352 I 205 352 then 207 352 went 211 352 on, 213 352 beginning 215 352 with 217 352 the 219 352 rise 221 352 and 223 352 progress 225 352 of 227 352 the 229 352 primitive 233 352 religions, 235 352 and 237 352 coming 239 352 down 241 352 to 243 352 the 245 352 various 247 352 religions 249 352 of 251 352 the 255 352 present 257 352 time, 259 352 during 261 352 which 263 352 time 265 352 I 267 352 labored 269 352 to 271 352 show 273 352 Queequeg 277 352 that 279 352 all 281 352 these 283 352 Lents, 285 352 Ramadans, 287 352 and 289 352 prolonged 291 352 ham-squattings 293 352 in 295 352 cold, 299 352 cheerless 301 352 rooms 303 352 were 305 352 stark 307 352 nonsense; 309 352 bad 311 352 for 313 352 the 315 352 health; 317 352 useless 321 352 for 323 352 the 325 352 soul; 327 352 opposed, 329 352 in 331 352 short, 333 352 to 335 352 the 337 352 obvious 339 352 laws 343 352 of 345 352 Hygiene 347 352 and 349 352 common 351 352 sense. 1 353 I 2 353 told 3 353 him, 4 353 too, 5 353 that 6 353 he 7 353 being 8 353 in 9 353 other 10 353 things 11 353 such 12 353 an 13 353 extremely 14 353 sensible 15 353 and 16 353 sagacious 17 353 savage, 18 353 it 19 353 pained 20 353 me, 21 353 very 22 353 badly 23 353 pained 24 353 me, 25 353 to 26 353 see 27 353 him 28 353 now 29 353 so 30 353 deplorably 31 353 foolish 32 353 about 33 353 this 34 353 ridiculous 35 353 Ramadan 36 353 of 37 353 his. 38 353 Besides, 39 353 argued 40 353 I, 41 353 fasting 42 353 makes 43 353 the 44 353 body 45 353 cave 46 353 in; 47 353 hence 48 353 the 49 353 spirit 50 353 caves 51 353 in; 52 353 and 53 353 all 54 353 thoughts 55 353 born 56 353 of 57 353 a 58 353 fast 59 353 must 60 353 necessarily 61 353 be 62 353 half-starved. 63 353 This 64 353 is 65 353 the 66 353 reason 67 353 why 68 353 most 69 353 dyspeptic 70 353 religionists 71 353 cherish 72 353 such 73 353 melancholy 74 353 notions 75 353 about 76 353 their 77 353 hereafters. 78 353 In 79 353 one 80 353 word, 81 353 Queequeg, 82 353 said 83 353 I, 84 353 rather 85 353 digressively; 86 353 hell 87 353 is 88 353 an 89 353 idea 90 353 first 91 353 born 92 353 on 93 353 an 94 353 undigested 95 353 apple-dumpling; 96 353 and 97 353 since 98 353 then 99 353 perpetuated 100 353 through 101 353 the 102 353 hereditary 103 353 dyspepsias 104 353 nurtured 105 353 by 106 353 Ramadans. 107 353 I 108 353 then 109 353 asked 110 353 Queequeg 111 353 whether 112 353 he 113 353 himself 114 353 was 115 353 ever 116 353 troubled 117 353 with 118 353 dyspepsia; 119 353 expressing 120 353 the 121 353 idea 122 353 very 123 353 plainly, 124 353 so 125 353 that 126 353 he 127 353 could 128 353 take 129 353 it 130 353 in. 131 353 He 132 353 said 133 353 no; 134 353 only 135 353 upon 136 353 one 137 353 memorable 138 353 occasion. 139 353 It 140 353 was 141 353 after 142 353 a 143 353 great 144 353 feast 145 353 given 146 353 by 147 353 his 148 353 father 149 353 the 150 353 king, 151 353 on 152 353 the 153 353 gaining 154 353 of 155 353 a 156 353 great 157 353 battle 158 353 wherein 159 353 fifty 160 353 of 161 353 the 162 353 enemy 163 353 had 164 353 been 165 353 killed 166 353 by 167 353 about 168 353 two 169 353 o'clock 170 353 in 171 353 the 172 353 afternoon, 173 353 and 174 353 all 175 353 cooked 176 353 and 177 353 eaten 178 353 that 179 353 very 180 353 evening. 181 353 "No 182 353 more, 183 353 Queequeg," 184 353 said 185 353 I, 186 353 shuddering; 187 353 "that 188 353 will 189 353 do;" 190 353 for 191 353 I 192 353 knew 193 353 the 194 353 inferences 195 353 without 196 353 his 197 353 further 198 353 hinting 199 353 them. 200 353 I 201 353 had 202 353 seen 203 353 a 204 353 sailor 205 353 who 206 353 had 207 353 visited 208 353 that 209 353 very 210 353 island, 211 353 and 212 353 he 213 353 told 214 353 me 215 353 that 216 353 it 217 353 was 218 353 the 219 353 custom, 220 353 when 221 353 a 222 353 great 223 353 battle 224 353 had 225 353 been 226 353 gained 227 353 there, 228 353 to 229 353 barbecue 230 353 all 231 353 the 232 353 slain 233 353 in 234 353 the 235 353 yard 236 353 or 237 353 garden 238 353 of 239 353 the 240 353 victor; 241 353 and 242 353 then, 243 353 one 244 353 by 245 353 one, 246 353 they 247 353 were 248 353 placed 249 353 in 250 353 great 251 353 wooden 252 353 trenchers, 253 353 and 254 353 garnished 255 353 round 256 353 like 257 353 a 258 353 pilau, 259 353 with 260 353 breadfruit 261 353 and 262 353 cocoanuts; 263 353 and 264 353 with 265 353 some 266 353 parsley 267 353 in 268 353 their 269 353 mouths, 270 353 were 271 353 sent 272 353 round 273 353 with 274 353 the 275 353 victor's 276 353 compliments 277 353 to 278 353 all 279 353 his 280 353 friends, 281 353 just 282 353 as 283 353 though 284 353 these 285 353 presents 286 353 were 287 353 so 288 353 many 289 353 Christmas 290 353 turkeys. 291 353 After 292 353 all, 293 353 I 294 353 do 295 353 not 296 353 think 297 353 that 298 353 my 299 353 remarks 300 353 about 301 353 religion 302 353 made 303 353 much 304 353 impression 305 353 upon 306 353 Queequeg. 307 353 Because, 308 353 in 309 353 the 310 353 first 311 353 place, 312 353 he 313 353 somehow 314 353 seemed 315 353 dull 316 353 of 317 353 hearing 318 353 on 319 353 that 320 353 important 321 353 subject, 322 353 unless 323 353 considered 324 353 from 325 353 his 326 353 own 327 353 point 328 353 of 329 353 view; 330 353 and, 331 353 in 332 353 the 333 353 second 334 353 place, 335 353 he 336 353 did 337 353 not 338 353 more 339 353 than 340 353 one 341 353 third 342 353 understand 343 353 me, 344 353 couch 345 353 my 346 353 ideas 347 353 simply 348 353 as 349 353 I 350 353 would; 351 353 and, 352 353 finally, 1 354 he 5 354 no 7 354 doubt 11 354 thought 13 354 he 17 354 knew 19 354 a 23 354 good 25 354 deal 29 354 more 31 354 about 35 354 the 37 354 true 41 354 religion 43 354 than 47 354 I 49 354 did. 53 354 He 55 354 looked 61 354 at 65 354 me 67 354 with 71 354 a 73 354 sort 77 354 of 79 354 condescending 83 354 concern 85 354 and 89 354 compassion, 91 354 as 95 354 though 97 354 he 101 354 thought 103 354 it 107 354 a 109 354 great 113 354 pity 115 354 that 119 354 such 121 354 a 125 354 sensible 127 354 young 131 354 man 133 354 should 137 354 be 139 354 so 143 354 hopelessly 145 354 lost 149 354 to 151 354 evangelical 155 354 pagan 157 354 piety. 161 354 At 163 354 last 167 354 we 169 354 rose 173 354 and 175 354 dressed; 179 354 and 181 354 Queequeg, 185 354 taking 187 354 a 191 354 prodigiously 193 354 hearty 197 354 breakfast 199 354 of 203 354 chowders 205 354 of 209 354 all 211 354 sorts, 215 354 so 217 354 that 221 354 the 223 354 landlady 227 354 should 229 354 not 233 354 make 235 354 much 239 354 profit 241 354 by 245 354 reason 247 354 of 251 354 his 253 354 Ramadan, 257 354 we 259 354 sallied 263 354 out 265 354 to 269 354 board 271 354 the 275 354 Pequod, 277 354 sauntering 281 354 along, 283 354 and 287 354 picking 289 354 our 293 354 teeth 299 354 with 301 354 halibut 305 354 bones. 307 354 CHAPTER 311 354 18 313 354 His 317 354 Mark. 319 354 As 323 354 we 325 354 were 329 354 walking 331 354 down 335 354 the 337 354 end 341 354 of 343 354 the 347 354 wharf 349 354 towards 353 354 the 1 355 ship, 2 355 Queequeg 3 355 carrying 4 355 his 6 355 harpoon, 7 355 Captain 8 355 Peleg 9 355 in 11 355 his 12 355 gruff 13 355 voice 14 355 loudly 16 355 hailed 17 355 us 18 355 from 19 355 his 21 355 wigwam, 22 355 saying 23 355 he 24 355 had 26 355 not 27 355 suspected 28 355 my 29 355 friend 31 355 was 32 355 a 33 355 cannibal, 34 355 and 36 355 furthermore 37 355 announcing 38 355 that 39 355 he 41 355 let 42 355 no 43 355 cannibals 44 355 on 46 355 board 47 355 that 48 355 craft, 49 355 unless 51 355 they 52 355 previously 53 355 produced 54 355 their 56 355 papers. 57 355 "What 58 355 do 59 355 you 61 355 mean 62 355 by 63 355 that, 64 355 Captain 66 355 Peleg?" 67 355 said 68 355 I, 69 355 now 72 355 jumping 73 355 on 74 355 the 76 355 bulwarks, 77 355 and 78 355 leaving 79 355 my 81 355 comrade 82 355 standing 83 355 on 84 355 the 86 355 wharf. 87 355 "I 88 355 mean," 89 355 he 91 355 replied, 92 355 "he 93 355 must 94 355 show 96 355 his 97 355 papers." 98 355 "Yes," 99 355 said 101 355 Captain 102 355 Bildad 103 355 in 104 355 his 106 355 hollow 107 355 voice, 108 355 sticking 109 355 his 111 355 head 112 355 from 113 355 behind 114 355

followed 12 361 him. 13 361 There 14 361 he 15 361 stood, 16 361 very 17 361 quietly 18 361 overlooking 20 361 some 21 361 sailmakers 22 361 who 23 361 were 24 361 mending 25 361 a 26 361 top-sail 27 361 in 28 361 the 29 361 waist. 30 361 Now 31 361 and 32 361 then 33 361 he 34 361 stooped 35 361 to 36 361 pick 37 361 up 39 361 a 40 361 patch, 41 361 or 42 361 save 43 361 an 44 361 end 45 361 of

words 96 361 were 97 361 put 98 361 to 99 361 us 100 361 by 101 361 a 102 361 stranger, 103 361 who, 104 361 pausing 105 361 before 106 361 us, 107 361 levelled 108 361 his 109 361 massive 110 361 forefinger 111 361 at 112 361 the 113 361 vessel 115 361 in 116 361 question. 117 361 He 118 361 was 119 361 but 120 361 shabbily 121 361 apparelled 122 361 in 123 361 faded 124 361 jacket 125 361 and 126 361 patched 127 361 trowsers; 128 361 a 129 361 rag 130 361 of 131 361 a 132 361 black 134 361 handkerchief 135 361 investing 136 361 his 137 361 neck. 138 361 A 139 361 confluent 140 361

156 361 ribbed 157 361 bed 158 361 of 159 361 a 160 361 torrent, 161 361 when 162 361 the 163 361 rushing 164 361 waters 165 361 have 166 361 been 167 361 dried 168 361 up. 169 361 "Have 170 361 ye 172 361 shipped 173 361 in 174 361 her?" 175 361 he 176 361 repeated. 177 361 "You 178 361 mean 179 361 the 180 361 ship 181 361 Pequod, 182 361 I 183 361 suppose," 184 361 said 185 361 I, 186 361 trying 187 361 to 188 361 gain 189 361 a 191 361 little 192 361 more 193 361 time 194 361 for 195 361 an 196 361 uninterrupted 197 361 look 198 361 at 199 361 him. 200 361 "Aye, 201 361 the 202 361 Pequod--that 203 361 ship 204 361 there," 205 361 he 206 361 said, 207 361 drawing 208 361 back 210 361 his 211 361 whole 212 361 arm, 213 361 and 214 361 then 215 361 rapidly 216 361 shoving 217 361 it 218 361 straight 219 361 out 220 361 from 221 361 him, 222 361 with 223 361 the 224 361 fixed 225 361 bayonet 226 361 of 227 361 his 229 361 pointed 230 361 finger 231 361 darted 232 361 full 233 361 at 234 361 the 235 361 object. 236 361 "Yes," 237 361 said 238 361 I, 239 361 "we 240 361 have 241 361 just 242 361 signed 243 361 the 244 361 articles." 245 361 "Anything 246 361 down 248 361

326 361 said 327 361 the 328 361 stranger, 329 361 placing 330 361 a 331 361 nervous 332 361 emphasis 333 361 upon 334 361 the 335 361 word 336 361 HE. 337 361 "Queequeg," 338 361 said 339 361 I, 340 361 "let's 341 361 go; 343 361 this 344 361 fellow 345 361 has 346 361 broken 347 361 loose 348 361 from 349 361 somewhere; 350 361 he's 351 361 talking 352 361 about 353 361 something 354 361 and 355

362 when 323 362 he 325 362 gives 327 362 an 329 362 order. 331 362 Step 333 362 and 335 362 growl; 337 362 growl 339 362 and 341 362 go--that's 343 362 the 345 362 word 347 362 with 349 362 Captain 351 362 Ahab. 353 362 But 355 362 nothing 357 362 about 359 362 that 361 362 thing 1 363 that 2 363 happened 4 363 to 5 363 him 7 363 off 8 363 Cape 10 363 Horn, 13 363 long 14 363 ago, 16 363 when 17 363 he 19 363 lay 20 363 like 23 363 dead 25 363 for 26 363 three 28 363 days 29 363 and 31 363 nights; 32 363 nothing 34 363 about 35 363 that 37 363 deadly 38 363 skrimmage 40 363 with 41 363 the 43 363 Spaniard 46 363 afore 47 363 the 49 363 altar 50 363 in 52 363 Santa?--heard 53 363 nothing 56 363 about 58 363 that, 59 363 eh? 61 363 Nothing 62 363 about 64 363 the 65 363 silver 67 363 calabash 68 363 he 70 363 spat 71 363 into? 73 363 And 74 363 nothing 76 363 about 79 363 his 80 363 losing 82 363 his 83 363 leg 85 363 last 86 363 voyage, 89 363 according 91 363 to 92 363 the 94 363 prophecy. 95 363 Didn't 97 363 ye 98 363 hear 100 363 a 101 363 word 103 363 about 104 363 them 106 363 matters 107 363 and 109 363 something 112 363 more, 113 363 eh? 115 363 No, 116 363 I 118 363 don't 119 363 think 122 363 ye 124 363 did; 125 363 how 127 363 could 128 363 ye? 130 363 Who 131 363 knows 133 363 it? 134 363 Not 136 363 all 137 363 Nantucket, 139 363 I 140 363 guess. 142 363 But 145 363 hows'ever, 146 363 mayhap, 148 363 ye've 149 363 heard 151 363 tell 152 363 about 155 363 the 157 363 leg, 158 363 and 160 363 how 161 363 he 163 363 lost 164 363 it; 166 363 aye, 167 363 ye 169 363 have 170 363 heard 172 363 of 173 363 that, 175 363 I 178 363 dare 179 363 say. 181 363 Oh 182 363 yes, 184 363 THAT 185 363 every 188 363 one 190 363 knows 191 363 a'most--I 193 363 mean 194 363 they 196 363 know 197 363 he's 199 363 only 200 363 one 202 363 leg; 203 363 and 205 363 that 206 363 a 208 363 parmacetti 211 363 took 212 363 the 214 363 other 215 363 off." 217 363 "My 218 363 friend," 221 363 said 223 363 I, 224 363 "what 226 363 all 227 363 this 229 363 gibberish 230 363 of 232 363 yours 233 363 is 235 363 about, 236 363 I 238 363 don't 239 363 know, 241 363 and 244 363 I 245 363 don't 247 363 much 248 363 care; 250 363 for 251 363 it 254 363 seems 256 363 to 257 363 me 259 363 that 260 363 you 262 363 must 263 363 be 265 363 a 266 363 little 268 363 damaged 269 363 in 271 363 the 272 363 head. 274 363 But 277 363 if 278 363 you 280 363 are 281 363 speaking 283 363 of 284 363 Captain 287 363 Ahab, 289 363 of 290 363 that 292 363 ship 293 363 there, 295 363 the 296 363 Pequod, 298 363 then 299 363 let 301 363 me 302 363 tell 304 363 you, 305 363 that 307 363 I 310 363 know 311 363 all 313 363 about 314 363 the 316 363 loss 317 363 of 320 363 his 322 363 leg." 323 363 "ALL 325 363 about 326 363 it, 328 363 eh--sure 329 363 you 331 363 do?--all?" 332 363 "Pretty 334 363 sure." 335 363 With 337 363 finger 338 363 pointed 340 363 and 343 363 eye 344 363 levelled 346 363 at 347 363 the 349 363 Pequod, 350 363 the 353 363 beggar-like 355 363 stranger 356 363 stood 358 363 a 359 363 moment, 361 363 as 362 363 if 1 364 in 3 364 a 5 364 troubled 9 364 reverie; 11 364 then 15 364 starting 17 364 a 19 364 little, 23 364 turned 25 364 and 27 364 said:--"Ye've 29 364 shipped, 31 364 have 33 364 ye? 37 364 Names 41 364 down 43 364 on 45 364 the 47 364 papers? 51 364 Well, 53 364 well, 55 364 what's 57 364 signed, 59 364 is 61 364 signed; 67 364 and 69 364 what's 71 364 to 73 364 be, 75 364 will 79 364 be; 81 364 and 83 364 then 85 364 again, 87 364 perhaps 89 364 it 93 364 won't 95 364 be, 97 364 after 99 364 all. 101 364 Anyhow, 103 364 it's 107 364 all 109 364 fixed 111 364 and 113 364 arranged 115 364 a'ready; 121 364 and 123 364 some 125 364 sailors 127 364 or 129 364 other 131 364 must 135 364 go 137 364 with 139 364 him, 141 364 I 145 364 suppose; 149 364 as 151 364 well 153 364 these 155 364 as 157 364 any 159 364 other 163 364 men, 165 364 God 167 364 pity 171 364 'em! 173 364 Morning 177 364 to 179 364 ye, 181 364 shipmates, 183 364 morning; 185 364 the 187 364 ineffable 191 364 heavens 193 364 bless 197 364 ye; 199 364 I'm 201 364 sorry 205 364 I 207 364 stopped 209 364 ye." 211 364 "Look 213 364 here, 215 364 friend," 219 364 said 223 364 I, 225 364 "if 227 364 you 229 364 have 233 364 anything 235 364 important 237 364 to 239 364 tell 241 364 us, 243 364 out 249 364 with 251 364 it; 253 364 but 255 364 if 257 364 you 261 364 are 263 364 only 265 364 trying 267 364 to 269 364 bamboozle 271 364 us, 275 364 you 277 364 are 279 364 mistaken 281 364 in 283 364 your 285 364 game; 289 364 that's 291 364 all 293 364 I 295 364 have 297 364 to 303 364 say." 305 364 "And 307 364 it's 309 364 said 311 364 very 313 364 well, 317 364 and 319 364 I 321 364 like 323 364 to 327 364 hear 331 364 a 333 364 chap 335 364 talk 337 364 up 339 364 that 341 364 way; 345 364 you 347 364 are 349 364 just 353 364 the 355 364 man 359 364 for 361 364 him--the 363 364 likes 1 365 of 2 365 ye. 3 365 Morning 4 365 to 6 365 ye, 7 365 shipmates, 8 365 morning! 9 365 Oh! 11 365 when 12 365 ye 13 365 get 14 365 there, 16 365 tell 17 365 'em 18 365 I've 19 365 concluded 21 365 not 22 365 to 23 365 make 24 365 one 26 365 of 27 365 'em." 28 365 "Ah, 29 365 my 31 365 dear 32 365 fellow, 33 365 you 34 365 can't 36 365 fool 37 365 us 38 365 that 39 365 way--you 41 365 can't 42 365 fool 43 365 us. 44 365 It 46 365 is 47 365 the 48 365 easiest 49 365 thing 51 365 in 52 365 the 53 365 world 54 365 for 56 365 a 57 365 man 58 365 to 59 365 look 61 365 as 62 365 if 63 365 he 64 365 had 66 365 a 67 365 great 68 365 secret 69 365 in 71 365 him." 72 365 "Morning 74 365 to 76 365 ye, 77 365 shipmates, 78 365 morning." 79 365 "Morning 81 365 it 82 365 is," 83 365 said 84 365 I. 86 365 "Come 87 365 along, 88 365 Queequeg, 89 365 let's 91 365 leave 92 365 this 93 365 crazy 94 365 man. 96 365 But 97 365 stop, 98 365 tell 99 365 me 101 365 your 102 365 name, 103 365 will 104 365 you?" 106 365 "Elijah." 107 365 Elijah! 108 365 thought 109 365 I, 111 365 and 112 365 we 113 365 walked 114 365 away, 116 365 both 117 365 commenting, 118 365 after 119 365 each 121 365 other's 122 365 fashion, 123 365 upon 124 365 this 126 365 ragged 127 365 old 128 365 sailor; 129 365 and 131 365 agreed 132 365 that 133 365 he 134 365 was 136 365 nothing 137 365 but 138 365 a 139 365 humbug, 141 365 trying 142 365 to 143 365 be 144 365 a 147 365 bugbear. 148 365 But 149 365 we 151 365 had 152 365 not 153 365 gone 154 365 perhaps 156 365 above 157 365 a 158 365 hundred 159 365 yards, 161 365 when 162 365 chancing 163 365 to 164 365 turn 166 365 a 167 365 corner, 168 365 and 169 365 looking 171 365 back 172 365 as 173 365 I 174 365 did 176 365 so, 177 365 who 178 365 should 179 365 be 181 365 seen 182 365 but 183 365 Elijah 184 365 following 186 365 us, 187 365 though 188 365 at 189 365 a 191 365 distance. 192 365 Somehow, 193 365 the 194 365 sight 196 365 of 197 365 him 198 365 struck 199 365 me 201 365 so, 202 365 that 203 365 I 204 365 said 206 365 nothing 207 365 to 208 365 Queequeg 209 365 of 211 365 his 212 365 being 213 365 behind, 214 365 but 216 365 passed 217 365 on 218 365 with 221 365 my 222 365 comrade, 223 365 anxious 224 365 to 226 365 see 227 365 whether 228 365 the 229 365 stranger 231 365 would 232 365 turn 233 365 the 234 365 same 236 365 corner 237 365 that 238 365 we 239 365 did. 241 365 He 242 365 did; 243 365 and 244 365 then 246 365 it 247 365 seemed 248 365 to 249 365 me 251 365 that 252 365 he 253 365 was 254 365 dogging 256 365 us, 257 365 but 258 365 with 259 365 what 261 365 intent 262 365 I 263 365 could 264 365 not 266 365 for 267 365 the 268 365 life 269 365 of 271 365 me 272 365 imagine. 273 365 This 274 365 circumstance, 276 365 coupled 277 365 with 278 365 his 279 365 ambiguous, 281 365 half-hinting, 282 365 half-revealing, 283 365 shrouded 284 365 sort 286 365 of 287 365 talk, 288 365 now 289 365 begat 291 365 in 293 365 me 294 365 all 296 365 kinds 297 365 of 298 365 vague 299 365 wonderments 301 365 and 302 365 half-apprehensions, 303 365 and 304 365 all 306 365 connected 307 365 with 308 365 the 309 365 Pequod; 311 365 and 312 365 Captain 313 365 Ahab; 314 365 and 316 365 the 317 365 leg 318 365 he 319 365 had 321 365 lost; 322 365 and 323 365 the 324 365 Cape 326 365 Horn 327 365 fit; 328 365 and 329 365 the 331 365 silver 332 365 calabash; 333 365 and 334 365 what 336 365 Captain 337 365 Peleg 338 365 had 339 365 said 341 365 of 342 365 him, 343 365 when 344 365 I 346 365 left 347 365 the 348 365 ship 349 365 the 351 365 day 352 365 previous; 353 365 and 354 365 the 356 365 prediction 357 365 of 358 365 the 359 365 squaw 361 365 Tistig; 362 365 and 363 365 the 364 365 voyage 1 366 we 5 366 had 7 366 bound 11 366 ourselves 13 366 to 17 366 sail; 19 366 and 23 366 a 25 366 hundred 29 366 other 31 366 shadowy 35 366 things. 37 366 I 41 366 was 43 366 resolved 47 366 to 49 366 satisfy 53 366 myself 55 366 whether 59 366 this 65 366 ragged 67 366 Elijah 71 366 was 73 366 really 77 366 dogging 79 366 us 83 366 or 85 366 not, 89 366 and 91 366 with 95 366 that 97 366 intent 101 366 crossed 103 366 the 107 366 way 109 366 with 113 366 Queequeg, 115 366 and 119 366 on 121 366 that 125 366 side 127 366 of 131 366 it 133 366 retraced 137 366 our 139 366 steps. 143 366 But 145 366 Elijah 149 366 passed 151 366 on, 155 366 without 157 366 seeming 161 366 to 163 366 notice 167 366 us. 169 366 This 173 366 relieved 175 366 me; 179 366 and 181 366 once 185 366 more, 187 366 and 191 366 finally 193 366 as 197 366 it 199 366 seemed 203 366 to 205 366 me, 209 366 I 211 366 pronounced 215 366 him 217 366 in 221 366 my 223 366 heart, 227 366 a 229 366 humbug. 233 366 CHAPTER 235 366 20 239 366 All 241 366 Astir. 245 366 A 247 366 day 251 366 or 253 366 two 257 366 passed, 259 366 and 263 366 there 265 366 was 269 366 great 271 366 activity 275 366 aboard 277 366 the 281 366 Pequod. 283 366 Not 287 366 only 289 366 were 293 366 the 295 366 old 299 366 sails 301 366 being 307 366 mended, 311 366 but 313 366 new 317 366 sails 319 366 were 323 366 coming 325 366 on 329 366 board, 331 366 and 335 366 bolts 337 366 of 341 366 canvas, 343 366 and 347 366 coils 349 366 of 353 366 rigging; 355 366 in 359 366 short, 361 366 everything 365 366 betokened 1 367 that 2 367 the 3 367 ship's 4 367 preparations 5 367 were 6 367 hurrying 7 367 to 8 367 a 9 367 close. 10 367 Captain 11 367 Peleg 12 367 seldom 13 367 or 14 367 never 15 367 went 16 367 ashore, 17 367 but 18 367 sat 19 367 in 20 367 his 21 367 wigwam 22 367 keeping 23 367 a 24 367 sharp 25 367 look-out 26 367 upon 27 367 the 28 367 hands: 29 367 Bildad 30 367 did 31 367 all 32 367 the 33 367 purchasing 34 367 and 35 367 providing 36 367 at 37 367 the 38 367 stores; 39 367 and 40 367 the 41 367 men 42 367 employed 43 367 in 44 367 the 45 367 hold 46 367 and 47 367 on 48 367 the 49 367 rigging 50 367 were 51 367 working 52 367 till 53 367 long 54 367 after 55 367 night-fall. 56 367 On 57 367 the 58 367 day 59 367 following 60 367 Queequeg's 61 367 signing 62 367 the 63 367 articles, 64 367 word 65 367 was 66 367 given 67 367 at 68 367 all 69 367 the 70 367 inns 71 367 where 72 367 the 73 367 ship's 74 367 company 75 367 were 76 367 stopping, 77 367 that 78 367 their 79 367 chests 80 367 must 81 367 be 82 367 on 83 367 board 84 367 before 85 367 night, 86 367 for 87 367 there 88 367 was 89 367 no 90 367 telling 91 367 how 92 367 soon 93 367 the 94 367 vessel 95 367 might 96 367 be 97 367 sailing. 98 367 So 99 367 Queequeg 100 367 and 101 367 I 102 367 got 103 367 down 104 367 our 105 367 traps, 106 367 resolving, 107 367 however, 108 367 to 109 367 sleep 110 367 ashore 111 367 till 112 367 the 113 367 last. 114 367 But 115 367 it 116 367 seems 117 367 they 118 367 always 119 367 give 120 367 very 121 367 long 122 367 notice 123 367 in 124 367 these 125 367 cases, 126 367 and 127 367 the 128 367 ship 129 367 did 130 367 not 131 367 sail 132 367 for 133 367 several 134 367 days. 135 367 But 136 367 no 137 367 wonder; 138 367 there 139 367 was 140 367 a 141 367 good 142 367 deal 143 367 to 144 367 be 145 367 done, 146 367 and 147 367 there 148 367 is 149 367 no 150 367 telling 151 367 how 152 367 many 153 367 things 154 367 to 155 367 be 156 367 thought 157 367 of, 158 367 before 159 367 the 160 367 Pequod 161 367 was 162 367 fully 163 367 equipped. 164 367 Every 165 367 one 166 367 knows 167 367 what 168 367 a 169 367 multitude 170 367 of 171 367 things--beds, 172 367 sauce-pans, 173 367 knives 174 367 and 175 367 forks, 176 367 shovels 177 367 and 178 367 tongs, 179 367 napkins, 180 367 nut-crackers, 181 367 and 182 367 what 183 367 not, 184 367 are 185 367 indispensable 186 367 to 187 367 the 188 367 business 189 367 of 190 367 housekeeping. 191 367 Just 192 367 so 193 367 with 194 367 whaling, 195 367 which 196 367 necessitates 197 367 a 198 367 three-years' 199 367 housekeeping 200 367 upon 201 367 the 202 367 wide 203 367 ocean, 204 367 far 205 367 from 206 367 all 207 367 grocers, 208 367 costermongers, 209 367 doctors, 210 367 bakers, 211 367 and 212 367 bankers. 213 367 And 214 367 though 215 367 this 216 367 also 217 367 holds 218 367 true 219 367 of 220 367 merchant 221 367 vessels, 222 367 yet 223 367 not 224 367 by 225 367 any 226 367 means 227 367 to 228 367 the 229 367 same 230 367 extent 231 367 as 232 367 with 233 367 whalemen. 234 367 For 235 367 besides 236 367 the 237 367 great 238 367 length 239 367 of 240 367 the 241 367 whaling 242 367 voyage, 243 367 the 244 367 numerous 245 367 articles 246 367 peculiar 247 367 to 248 367 the 249 367 prosecution 250 367 of 251 367 the 252 367 fishery, 253 367 and 254 367 the 255 367 impossibility 256 367 of 257 367 replacing 258 367 them 259 367 at 260 367 the 261 367 remote 262 367 harbors 263 367 usually 264 367 frequented, 265 367 it 266 367 must 267 367 be 268 367 remembered, 269 367 that 270 367 of 271 367 all 272 367 ships, 273 367 whaling 274 367 vessels 275 367 are 276 367 the 277 367 most 278 367 exposed 279 367 to 280 367 accidents 281 367 of 282 367 all 283 367 kinds, 284 367 and 285 367 especially 286 367 to 287 367 the 288 367 destruction 289 367 and 290 367 loss 291 367 of 292 367 the 293 367 very 294 367 things 295 367 upon 296 367 which 297 367 the 298 367 success 299 367 of 300 367 the 301 367 voyage 302 367 most 303 367 depends. 304 367 Hence, 305 367 the 306 367 spare 307 367 boats, 308 367 spare 309 367 spars, 310 367 and 311 367 spare 312 367 lines 313 367 and 314 367 harpoons, 315 367 and 316 367 spare 317 367 everythings, 318 367 almost, 319 367 but 320 367 a 321 367 spare 322 367 Captain 323 367 and 324 367 duplicate 325 367 ship. 326 367 At 327 367 the 328 367 period 329 367 of 330 367 our 331 367 arrival 332 367 at 333 367 the 334 367 Island, 335 367 the 336 367 heaviest 337 367 storage 338 367 of 339 367 the 340 367 Pequod 341 367 had 342 367 been 343 367 almost 344 367 completed; 345 367 comprising 346 367 her 347 367 beef, 348 367 bread, 349 367 water, 350 367 fuel, 351 367 and 352 367 iron 353 367 hoops 354 367 and 355 367 staves. 356 367 But, 357 367 as 358 367 before 359 367 hinted, 360 367 for 361 367 some 362 367 time 363 367 there 364 367 was 365 367 a 366 367 continual 1 368 fetching 3 368 and 5 368 carrying 7 368 on 9 368 board 11 368 of 13 368 divers 15 368 odds 17 368 and 19 368 ends 21 368 of 25 368 things, 27 368 both 29 368 large 31 368 and 33 368 small. 35 368 Chief 37 368 among 39 368 those 41 368 who 43 368 did 45 368 this 47 368 fetching 49 368 and 51 368 carrying 53 368 was 55 368 Captain 57 368 Bildad's 59 368 sister, 61 368 a 63 368 lean 65 368 old 67 368 lady 71 368 of 73 368 a 75 368 most 77 368 determined 79 368 and 81 368 indefatigable 83 368 spirit, 85 368 but 87 368 withal 89 368 very 91 368 kindhearted, 93 368 who 95 368 seemed 97 368 resolved 99 368 that, 101 368 if 103 368 SHE 105 368 could 107 368 help 109 368 it, 111 368 nothing 113 368 should 117 368 be 119 368 found 121 368 wanting 123 368 in 125 368 the 127 368 Pequod, 129 368 after 131 368 once 133 368 fairly 135 368 getting 137 368 to 139 368 sea. 141 368 At 143 368 one 145 368 time 147 368 she 149 368 would 151 368 come 153 368 on 155 368 board 157 368 with 159 368 a 163 368 jar 165 368 of 167 368 pickles 169 368 for 171 368 the 173 368 steward's 175 368 pantry; 177 368 another 179 368 time 181 368 with 183 368 a 185 368 bunch 187 368 of 189 368 quills 191 368 for 193 368 the 195 368 chief 197 368 mate's 199 368 desk, 201 368 where 203 368 he 205 368 kept 209 368 his 211 368 log; 213 368 a 215 368 third 217 368 time 219 368 with 221 368 a 223 368 roll 225 368 of 227 368 flannel 229 368 for 231 368 the 233 368 small 235 368 of 237 368 some 239 368 one's 241 368 rheumatic 243 368 back. 245 368 Never 247 368 did 249 368 any 251 368 woman 255 368 better 257 368 deserve 259 368 her 261 368 name, 263 368 which 265 368 was 267 368 Charity--Aunt 269 368 Charity, 271 368 as 273 368 everybody 275 368 called 277 368 her. 279 368 And 281 368 like 283 368 a 285 368 sister 287 368 of 289 368 charity 291 368 did 293 368 this 295 368 charitable 297 368 Aunt 301 368 Charity 303 368 bustle 305 368 about 307 368 hither 309 368 and 311 368 thither, 313 368 ready 315 368 to 317 368 turn 319 368 her 321 368 hand 323 368 and 325 368 heart 327 368 to 329 368 anything 331 368 that 333 368 promised 335 368 to 337 368 yield 339 368 safety, 341 368 comfort, 343 368 and 347 368 consolation 349 368 to 351 368 all 353 368 on 355 368 board 357 368 a 359 368 ship 361 368 in 363 368 which 365 368 her 367 368 beloved 1 369 brother 2 369 Bildad 4 369 was 5 369 concerned, 7 369 and 8 369 in 10 369 which 11 369 she 13 369 herself 14 369 owned 16 369 a 17 369 score 19 369 or 20 369 two 22 369 of 23 369 well-saved 25 369 dollars. 26 369 But 28 369 it 29 369 was 31 369 startling 32 369 to 34 369 see 35 369 this 37 369 excellent 38 369 hearted 40 369 Quakeress 43 369 coming 44 369 on 46 369 board, 47 369 as 49 369 she 50 369 did 52 369 the 53 369 last 55 369 day, 56 369 with 58 369 a 59 369 long 61 369 oil-ladle 62 369 in 64 369 one 65 369 hand, 67 369 and 68 369 a 70 369 still 71 369 longer 73 369 whaling 74 369 lance 76 369 in 77 369 the 79 369 other. 80 369 Nor 83 369 was 85 369 Bildad 86 369 himself 88 369 nor 89 369 Captain 91 369 Peleg 92 369 at 94 369 all 95 369 backward. 97 369 As 98 369 for 100 369 Bildad, 101 369 he 103 369 carried 104 369 about 106 369 with 107 369 him 109 369 a 110 369 long 112 369 list 113 369 of 115 369 the 116 369 articles 118 369 needed, 119 369 and 121 369 at 122 369 every 124 369 fresh 125 369 arrival, 127 369 down 128 369 went 130 369 his 131 369 mark 133 369 opposite 134 369 that 136 369 article 137 369 upon 139 369 the 140 369 paper. 142 369 Every 143 369 once 145 369 in 146 369 a 148 369 while 149 369 Peleg 151 369 came 152 369 hobbling 154 369 out 155 369 of 157 369 his 158 369 whalebone 160 369 den, 161 369 roaring 163 369 at 166 369 the 167 369 men 169 369 down 170 369 the 172 369 hatchways, 173 369 roaring 175 369 up 176 369 to 178 369 the 179 369 riggers 181 369 at 182 369 the 184 369 mast-head, 185 369 and 187 369 then 188 369 concluded 190 369 by 191 369 roaring 193 369 back 194 369 into 196 369 his 197 369 wigwam. 199 369 During 200 369 these 202 369 days 203 369 of 206 369 preparation, 208 369 Queequeg 209 369 and 211 369 I 212 369 often 214 369 visited 215 369 the 217 369 craft, 218 369 and 220 369 as 221 369 often 223 369 I 224 369 asked 226 369 about 227 369 Captain 229 369 Ahab, 230 369 and 232 369 how 233 369 he 235 369 was, 236 369 and 238 369 when 239 369 he 241 369 was 242 369 going 244 369 to 245 369 come 247 369 on 248 369 board 250 369 his 251 369 ship. 253 369 To 254 369 these 256 369 questions 257 369 they 259 369 would 260 369 answer, 262 369 that 263 369 he 265 369 was 266 369 getting 268 369 better 269 369 and 271 369 better, 272 369 and 274 369 was 275 369 expected 277 369 aboard 278 369 every 280 369 day; 281 369 meantime, 283 369 the 284 369 two 286 369 captains, 289 369 Peleg 290 369 and 292 369 Bildad, 293 369 could 295 369 attend 296 369 to 298 369 everything 299 369 necessary 301 369 to 302 369 fit 304 369 the 305 369 vessel 307 369 for 308 369 the 310 369 voyage. 311 369 If 313 369 I 314 369 had 316 369 been 317 369 downright 319 369 honest 320 369 with 322 369 myself, 323 369 I 325 369 would 326 369 have 329 369 seen 331 369 very 332 369 plainly 334 369 in 335 369 my 337 369 heart 338 369 that 340 369 I 341 369 did 343 369 but 344 369 half 346 369 fancy 347 369 being 349 369 committed 350 369 this 352 369 way 353 369 to 355 369 so 356 369 long 358 369 a 359 369 voyage, 361 369 without 362 369 once 364 369 laying 365 369 my 367 369 eyes 368 369 on 1 370 the 3 370 man 7 370 who 9 370 was 11 370 to 13 370 be 17 370 the 19 370 absolute 21 370 dictator 23 370 of 27 370 it, 29 370 so 31 370 soon 33 370 as 39 370 the 41 370 ship 43 370 sailed 47 370 out 49 370 upon 51 370 the 53 370 open 57 370 sea. 59 370 But 61 370 when 63 370 a 67 370 man 69 370 suspects 71 370 any 73 370 wrong, 77 370 it 79 370 sometimes 81 370 happens 83 370 that 87 370 if 89 370 he 91 370 be 93 370 already 97 370 involved 99 370 in 101 370 the 103 370 matter, 107 370 he 109 370 insensibly 113 370 strives 117 370 to 119 370 cover 121 370 up 123 370 his 127 370 suspicions 129 370 even 131 370 from 133 370 himself. 137 370 And 139 370 much 141 370 this 143 370 way 147 370 it 149 370 was 151 370 with 153 370 me. 157 370 I 159 370 said 161 370 nothing, 163 370 and 167 370 tried 169 370 to 171 370 think 173 370 nothing. 177 370 At 179 370 last 181 370 it 183 370 was 187 370 given 189 370 out 191 370 that 193 370 some 197 370 time 199 370 next 201 370 day 203 370 the 207 370 ship 209 370 would 211 370 certainly 213 370 sail. 217 370 So 219 370 next 221 370 morning, 223 370 Queequeg 227 370 and 229 370 I 231 370 took 233 370 a 237 370 very 239 370 early 241 370 start. 243 370 CHAPTER 247 370 21 249 370 Going 251 370 Aboard. 253 370 It 257 370 was 261 370 nearly 263 370 six 267 370 o'clock, 269 370 but 271 370 only 273 370 grey 277 370 imperfect 279 370 misty 281 370 dawn, 283 370 when 287 370 we 289 370 drew 291 370 nigh 293 370 the 297 370 wharf. 299 370 "There 301 370 are 303 370 some 307 370 sailors 309 370 running 311 370 ahead 313 370 there, 317 370 if 319 370 I 321 370 see 323 370 right," 327 370 said 329 370 I 331 370 to 337 370 Queequeg, 339 370 "it 341 370 can't 343 370 be 347 370 shadows; 349 370 she's 351 370 off 353 370 by 357 370 sunrise, 359 370 I 361 370 guess; 363 370 come 367 370 on!" 369 370 "Avast!" 1 371 cried 2 371 a 3 371 voice, 4 371 whose 5 371 owner 6 371 at 8 371 the 9 371 same 10 371 time 11 371 coming 12 371 close 13 371 behind 15 371 us, 16 371 laid 17 371 a 18 371 hand 19 371 upon 20 371 both 22 371 our 23 371 shoulders, 24 371 and 25 371 then 26 371 insinuating 27 371 himself 29 371 between 30 371 us, 31 371 stood 32 371 stooping 33 371 forward 34 371 a 36 371 little, 37 371 in 38 371 the 39 371 uncertain 40 371 twilight, 41 371 strangely 43 371 peering 44 371 from 45 371 Queequeg 46 371 to 47 371 me. 48 371 It 50 371 was 51 371 Elijah. 52 371 "Going 54 371 aboard?" 55 371 "Hands 57 371 off, 58 371 will 59 371 you," 60 371 said 61 371 I. 62 371 "Lookee 64 371 here," 65 371 said 66 371 Queequeg, 67 371 shaking 68 371 himself, 69 371 "go 71 371 'way!" 72 371 "Ain't 73 371 going 74 371 aboard, 75 371 then?" 76 371 "Yes, 78 371 we 79 371 are," 80 371 said 81 371 I, 82 371 "but 83 371 what 85 371 business 86 371 is 87 371 that 88 371 of 89 371 yours? 90 371 Do 92 371 you 93 371 know, 94 371 Mr. 95 371 Elijah, 96 371 that 97 371 I 99 371 consider 100 371 you 101 371 a 102 371 little 103 371 impertinent?" 104 371 "No, 107 371 no, 108 371 no; 109 371 I 110 371 wasn't 111 371 aware 113 371 of 114 371 that," 115 371 said 116 371 Elijah, 117 371 slowly 118 371 and 120 371 wonderingly 121 371 looking 122 371 from 123 371 me 124 371 to 125 371 Queequeg, 127 371 with 128 371 the 129 371 most 130 371 unaccountable 131 371 glances. 132 371 "Elijah," 134 371 said 135 371 I, 136 371 "you 137 371 will 138 371 oblige 139 371 my 141 371 friend 142 371 and 143 371 me 144 371 by 145 371 withdrawing. 146 371 We 148 371 are 149 371 going 150 371 to 151 371 the 152 371 Indian 153 371 and 155 371 Pacific 156 371 Oceans, 157 371 and 158 371 would 160 371 prefer 162 371 not 163 371 to 164 371 be 165 371 detained." 166 371 "Ye 167 371 be, 169 371 be 170 371 ye? 171 371 Coming 172 371 back 173 371 afore 174 371 breakfast?" 176 371 "He's 177 371 cracked, 178 371 Queequeg," 179 371 said 180 371 I, 181 371 "come 183 371 on." 184 371 "Holloa!" 185 371 cried 186 371 stationary 187 371 Elijah, 188 371 hailing 190 371 us 191 371 when 192 371 we 193 371 had 194 371 removed 195 371 a 197 371 few 198 371 paces. 199 371 "Never 200 371 mind 201 371 him," 202 371 said 204 371 I, 205 371 "Queequeg, 206 371 come 207 371 on." 208 371 But 209 371 he 211 371 stole 213 371 up 214 371 to 215 371 us 216 371 again, 218 371 and 219 371 suddenly 220 371 clapping 221 371 his 222 371 hand 223 371 on 225 371 my 226 371 shoulder, 227 371 said--"Did 228 371 ye 229 371 see 230 371 anything 232 371 looking 233 371 like 234 371 men 235 371 going 236 371 towards 237 371 that 239 371 ship 240 371 a 241 371 while 242 371 ago?" 243 371 Struck 244 371 by 246 371 this 247 371 plain 248 371 matter-of-fact 249 371 question, 250 371 I 251 371 answered, 253 371 saying, 254 371 "Yes, 255 371 I 256 371 thought 257 371 I 258 371 did 260 371 see 261 371 four 262 371 or 263 371 five 264 371 men; 267 371 but 268 371 it 269 371 was 270 371 too 271 371 dim 272 371 to 274 371 be 275 371 sure." 276 371 "Very 277 371 dim, 278 371 very 279 371 dim," 281 371 said 282 371 Elijah. 283 371 "Morning 284 371 to 285 371 ye." 286 371 Once 288 371 more 289 371 we 290 371 quitted 291 371 him; 292 371 but 293 371 once 295 371 more 296 371 he 297 371 came 298 371 softly 299 371 after 300 371 us; 302 371 and 303 371 touching 304 371 my 305 371 shoulder 306 371 again, 307 371 said, 309 371 "See 310 371 if 311 371 you 312 371 can 313 371 find 314 371 'em 316 371 now, 317 371 will 319 371 ye? 320 371 "Find 321 371 who?" 323 371 "Morning 324 371 to 325 371 ye! 326 371 morning 327 371 to 328 371 ye!" 330 371 he 331 371 rejoined, 332 371 again 333 371 moving 334 371 off. 335 371 "Oh! 337 371 I 338 371 was 339 371 going 340 371 to 341 371 warn 342 371 ye 344 371 against--but 345 371 never 346 371 mind, 347 371 never 348 371 mind--it's 349 371 all 351 371 one, 352 371 all 353 371 in 354 371 the 355 371 family 356 371 too;--sharp 358 371 frost 359 371 this 360 371 morning, 361 371 ain't 362 371 it? 363 371 Good-bye 365 371 to 366 371 ye. 367 371 Shan't 368 371 see 369 371 ye 370 371 again 1 372 very 5 372 soon, 7 372 I 11 372 guess; 13 372 unless 17 372 it's 19 372 before 23 372 the 25 372 Grand 29 372 Jury." 35 372 And 37 372 with 41 372 these 43 372 cracked 47 372 words 49 372 he 53 372 finally 55 372 departed, 59 372 leaving 61 372 me, 65 372 for 67 372 the 71 372 moment, 73 372 in 77 372 no 79 372 small 83 372 wonderment 85 372 at 89 372 his 91 372 frantic 95 372 impudence. 97 372 At 101 372 last, 103 372 stepping 107 372 on 109 372 board 113 372 the 115 372 Pequod, 119 372 we 121 372 found 125 372 everything 127 372 in 131 372 profound 133 372 quiet, 137 372 not 139 372 a 143 372 soul 145 372 moving. 149 372 The 151 372 cabin 157 372 entrance 161 372 was 163 372 locked 167 372 within; 169 372 the 173 372 hatches 175 372 were 179 372 all 181 372 on, 185 372 and 187 372 lumbered 191 372 with 193 372 coils 197 372 of 199 372 rigging. 203 372 Going 205 372 forward 209 372 to 211 372 the 215 372 forecastle, 221 372 we 223 372 found 227 372 the 229 372 slide 233 372 of 235 372 the 239 372 scuttle 241 372 open. 245 372 Seeing 247 372 a 251 372 light, 253 372 we 257 372 went 259 372 down, 263 372 and 265 372 found 269 372 only 271 372 an 275 372 old 277 372 rigger 281 372 there, 283 372 wrapped 287 372 in 289 372 a 293 372 tattered 295 372 pea-jacket. 299 372 He 301 372 was 305 372 thrown 307 372 at 311 372 whole 313 372 length 317 372 upon 319 372 two 323 372 chests, 325 372 his 329 372 face 331 372 downwards 335 372 and 337 372 inclosed 343 372 in 347 372 his 349 372 folded 353 372 arms. 355 372 The 359 372 profoundest 361 372 slumber 365 372 slept 367 372 upon 371 372 him. 1 373 "Those 2 373 sailors 3 373 we 4 373 saw, 5 373 Queequeg, 6 373 where 7 373 can 8 373 they 9 373 have 10 373 gone 11 373 to?" 12 373 said 13 373 I, 14 373 looking 15 373 dubiously 16 373 at 17 373 the 18 373 sleeper. 19 373 But 20 373 it 21 373 seemed 22 373 that, 23 373 when 24 373 on 25 373 the 26 373 wharf, 27 373 Queequeg 28 373 had 29 373 not 30 373 at 31 373 all 32 373 noticed 33 373 what 34 373 I 35 373 now 36 373 alluded 37 373 to; 38 373 hence 39 373 I 40 373 would 41 373 have 42 373 thought 43 373 myself 44 373 to 45 373 have 46 373 been 47 373 optically 48 373 deceived 49 373 in 50 373 that 51 373 matter, 52 373 were 53 373 it 54 373 not 55 373 for 56 373 Elijah's 57 373 otherwise 58 373 inexplicable 59 373 question. 60 373 But 61 373 I 62 373 beat 63 373 the 64 373 thing 65 373 down; 66 373 and 67 373 again 68 373 marking 69 373 the 70 373 sleeper, 71 373 jocularly 72 373 hinted 73 373 to 74 373 Queequeg 75 373 that 76 373 perhaps 77 373 we 78 373 had 79 373 best 80 373 sit 81 373 up 82 373 with 83 373 the 84 373 body; 85 373 telling 86 373 him 87 373 to 88 373 establish 89 373 himself 90 373 accordingly. 91 373 He 92 373 put 93 373 his 94 373 hand 95 373 upon 96 373 the 97 373 sleeper's 98 373 rear, 99 373 as 100 373 though 101 373 feeling 102 373 if 103 373 it 104 373 was 105 373 soft 106 373 enough; 107 373 and 108 373 then, 109 373 without 110 373 more 111 373 ado, 112 373 sat 113 373 quietly 114 373 down 115 373 there. 116 373 "Gracious! 117 373 Queequeg, 118 373 don't 119 373 sit 120 373 there," 121 373 said 122 373 I. 123 373 "Oh! 124 373 perry 125 373 dood 126 373 seat," 127 373 said 128 373 Queequeg, 129 373 "my 130 373 country 131 373 way; 132 373 won't 133 373 hurt 134 373 him 135 373 face." 136 373 "Face!" 137 373 said 138 373 I, 139 373 "call 140 373 that 141 373 his 142 373 face? 143 373 very 144 373 benevolent 145 373 countenance 146 373 then; 147 373 but 148 373 how 149 373 hard 150 373 he 151 373 breathes, 152 373 he's 153 373 heaving 154 373 himself; 155 373 get 156 373 off, 157 373 Queequeg, 158 373 you 159 373 are 160 373 heavy, 161 373 it's 162 373 grinding 163 373 the 164 373 face 165 373 of 166 373 the 167 373 poor. 168 373 Get 169 373 off, 170 373 Queequeg! 171 373 Look, 172 373 he'll 173 373 twitch 174 373 you 175 373 off 176 373 soon. 177 373 I 178 373 wonder 179 373 he 180 373 don't 181 373 wake." 182 373 Queequeg 183 373 removed 184 373 himself 185 373 to 186 373 just 187 373 beyond 188 373 the 189 373 head 190 373 of 191 373 the 192 373 sleeper, 193 373 and 194 373 lighted 195 373 his 196 373 tomahawk 197 373 pipe. 198 373 I 199 373 sat 200 373 at 201 373 the 202 373 feet. 203 373 We 204 373 kept 205 373 the 206 373 pipe 207 373 passing 208 373 over 209 373 the 210 373 sleeper, 211 373 from 212 373 one 213 373 to 214 373 the 215 373 other. 216 373 Meanwhile, 217 373 upon 218 373 questioning 219 373 him 220 373 in 221 373 his 222 373 broken 223 373 fashion, 224 373 Queequeg 225 373 gave 226 373 me 227 373 to 228 373 understand 229 373 that, 230 373 in 231 373 his 232 373 land, 233 373 owing 234 373 to 235 373 the 236 373 absence 237 373 of 238 373 settees 239 373 and 240 373 sofas 241 373 of 242 373 all 243 373 sorts, 244 373 the 245 373 king, 246 373 chiefs, 247 373 and 248 373 great 249 373 people 250 373 generally, 251 373 were 252 373 in 253 373 the 254 373 custom 255 373 of 256 373 fattening 257 373 some 258 373 of 259 373 the 260 373 lower 261 373 orders 262 373 for 263 373 ottomans; 264 373 and 265 373 to 266 373 furnish 267 373 a 268 373 house 269 373 comfortably 270 373 in 271 373 that 272 373 respect, 273 373 you 274 373 had 275 373 only 276 373 to 277 373 buy 278 373 up 279 373 eight 280 373 or 281 373 ten 282 373 lazy 283 373 fellows, 284 373 and 285 373 lay 286 373 them 287 373 round 288 373 in 289 373 the 290 373 piers 291 373 and 292 373 alcoves. 293 373 Besides, 294 373 it 295 373 was 296 373 very 297 373 convenient 298 373 on 299 373 an 300 373 excursion; 301 373 much 302 373 better 303 373 than 304 373 those 305 373 garden-chairs 306 373 which 307 373 are 308 373 convertible 309 373 into 310 373 walking-sticks; 311 373 upon 312 373 occasion, 313 373 a 314 373 chief 315 373 calling 316 373 his 317 373 attendant, 318 373 and 319 373 desiring 320 373 him 321 373 to 322 373 make 323 373 a 324 373 settee 325 373 of 326 373 himself 327 373 under 328 373 a 329 373 spreading 330 373 tree, 331 373 perhaps 332 373 in 333 373 some 334 373 damp 335 373 marshy 336 373 place. 337 373 While 338 373 narrating 339 373 these 340 373 things, 341 373 every 342 373 time 343 373 Queequeg 344 373 received 345 373 the 346 373 tomahawk 347 373 from 348 373 me, 349 373 he 350 373 flourished 351 373 the 352 373 hatchet-side 353 373 of 354 373 it 355 373 over 356 373 the 357 373 sleeper's 358 373 head. 359 373 "What's 360 373 that 361 373 for, 362 373 Queequeg?" 363 373 "Perry 364 373 easy, 365 373 kill-e; 366 373 oh! 367 373 perry 368 373 easy! 369 373 He 370 373 was 371 373 going 372 373 on 1 374 with 3 374 some 5 374 wild 7 374 reminiscences 9 374 about 13 374 his 15 374 tomahawk-pipe, 19 374 which, 21 374 it 23 374 seemed, 25 374 had 27 374 in 29 374 its 31 374 two 35 374 uses 37 374 both 39 374 brained 41 374 his 43 374 foes 45 374 and 47 374 soothed 49 374 his 53 374 soul, 57 374 when 59 374 we 61 374 were 63 374 directly 65 374 attracted 67 374 to 69 374 the 71 374 sleeping 73 374 rigger. 75 374 The 79 374 strong 81 374 vapour 83 374 now 87 374 completely 89 374 filling 91 374 the 93 374 contracted 95 374 hole, 97 374 it 101 374 began 103 374 to 105 374 tell 107 374 upon 109 374 him. 111 374 He 113 374 breathed 115 374 with 117 374 a 123 374 sort 125 374 of 127 374 muffledness; 129 374 then 131 374 seemed 133 374 troubled 135 374 in 137 374 the 139 374 nose; 141 374 then 145 374 revolved 147 374 over 149 374 once 151 374 or 155 374 twice; 157 374 then 159 374 sat 161 374 up 163 374 and 167 374 rubbed 169 374 his 171 374 eyes. 173 374 "Holloa!" 175 374 he 177 374 breathed 179 374 at 181 374 last, 183 374 "who 185 374 be 189 374 ye 191 374 smokers?" 193 374 "Shipped 195 374 men," 197 374 answered 199 374 I, 201 374 "when 203 374 does 205 374 she 207 374 sail?" 211 374 "Aye, 213 374 aye, 215 374 ye 217 374 are 219 374 going 223 374 in 225 374 her, 227 374 be 229 374 ye? 233 374 She 235 374 sails 237 374 to-day. 239 374 The 241 374 Captain 243 374 came 245 374 aboard 247 374 last 249 374 night." 251 374 "What 257 374 Captain?--Ahab?" 259 374 "Who 261 374 but 263 374 him 265 374 indeed?" 267 374 I 269 374 was 271 374 going 273 374 to 277 374 ask 279 374 him 281 374 some 283 374 further 285 374 questions 287 374 concerning 291 374 Ahab, 293 374 when 295 374 we 299 374 heard 301 374 a 303 374 noise 305 374 on 307 374 deck. 309 374 "Holloa! 311 374 Starbuck's 313 374 astir," 315 374 said 317 374 the 321 374 rigger. 325 374 "He's 327 374 a 329 374 lively 331 374 chief 333 374 mate, 335 374 that; 337 374 good 339 374 man, 343 374 and 345 374 a 347 374 pious; 349 374 but 351 374 all 353 374 alive 355 374 now, 359 374 I 361 374 must 365 374 turn 367 374 to." 369 374 And 371 374 so 373 374 saying 1 375 he 2 375 went 4 375 on 7 375 deck, 8 375 and 11 375 we 13 375 followed. 14 375 It 16 375 was 17 375 now 19 375 clear 22 375 sunrise. 23 375 Soon 26 375 the 28 375 crew 29 375 came 31 375 on 32 375 board 34 375 in 37 375 twos 38 375 and 41 375 threes; 43 375 the 44 375 riggers 46 375 bestirred 47 375 themselves; 49 375 the 52 375 mates 53 375 were 56 375 actively 58 375 engaged; 59 375 and 61 375 several 62 375 of 64 375 the 67 375 shore 68 375 people 71 375 were 73 375 busy 74 375 in 76 375 bringing 77 375 various 79 375 last 82 375 things 83 375 on 86 375 board. 88 375 Meanwhile 89 375 Captain 91 375 Ahab 92 375 remained 94 375 invisibly 97 375 enshrined 98 375 within 101 375 his 103 375 cabin. 104 375 CHAPTER 106 375 22 107 375 Merry 109 375 Christmas. 112 375 At 113 375 length, 116 375 towards 118 375 noon, 119 375 upon 121 375 the 122 375 final 124 375 dismissal 127 375 of 128 375 the 131 375 ship's 133 375 riggers, 134 375 and 136 375 after 137 375 the 139 375 Pequod 142 375 had 143 375 been 146 375 hauled 148 375 out 149 375 from 151 375 the 152 375 wharf, 154 375 and 157 375 after 158 375 the 161 375 ever-thoughtful 163 375 Charity 164 375 had 166 375 come 167 375 off 169 375 in 172 375 a 173 375 whale-boat, 176 375 with 178 375 her 179 375 last 181 375 gift--a 182 375 night-cap 184 375 for 187 375 Stubb, 188 375 the 191 375 second 193 375 mate, 194 375 her 196 375 brother-in-law, 197 375 and 199 375 a 202 375 spare 203 375 Bible 206 375 for 208 375 the 209 375 steward--after 211 375 all 212 375 this, 214 375 the 217 375 two 218 375 Captains, 221 375 Peleg 223 375 and 224 375 Bildad, 226 375 issued 227 375 from 229 375 the 232 375 cabin, 233 375 and 236 375 turning 238 375 to 239 375 the 241 375 chief 242 375 mate, 244 375 Peleg 247 375 said: 248 375 "Now, 251 375 Mr. 253 375 Starbuck, 254 375 are 256 375 you 257 375 sure 259 375 everything 262 375 is 263 375 right? 266 375 Captain 268 375 Ahab 269 375 is 271 375 all 272 375 ready--just 274 375 spoke 277 375 to 278 375 him--nothing 281 375 more 283 375 to 284 375 be 286 375 got 287 375 from 289 375 shore, 292 375 eh? 293 375 Well, 296 375 call 298 375 all 299 375 hands, 301 375 then. 302 375 Muster 304 375 'em 307 375 aft 308 375 here--blast 311 375 'em!" 313 375 "No 314 375 need 316 375 of 317 375 profane 319 375 words, 322 375 however 323 375 great 326 375 the 328 375 hurry, 329 375 Peleg," 331 375 said 332 375 Bildad, 334 375 "but 337 375 away 338 375 with 341 375 thee, 343 375 friend 344 375 Starbuck, 346 375 and 347 375 do 349 375 our 352 375 bidding." 353 375 How 356 375 now! 358 375 Here 359 375 upon 361 375 the 362 375 very 364 375 point 367 375 of 368 375 starting 371 375 for 373 375 the 374 375 voyage, 1 376 Captain 3 376 Peleg 5 376 and 7 376 Captain 9 376 Bildad 11 376 were 13 376 going 15 376 it 17 376 with 19 376 a 21 376 high 23 376 hand 25 376 on 27 376 the 29 376 quarter-deck, 31 376 just 33 376 as 35 376 if 37 376 they 39 376 were 41 376 to 43 376 be 45 376 joint-commanders 49 376 at 51 376 sea, 53 376 as 55 376 well 57 376 as 59 376 to 61 376 all 63 376 appearances 65 376 in 67 376 port. 69 376 And, 71 376 as 73 376 for 75 376 Captain 77 376 Ahab, 79 376 no 81 376 sign 83 376 of 85 376 him 87 376 was 89 376 yet 91 376 to 93 376 be 95 376 seen; 97 376 only, 99 376 they 101 376 said 103 376 he 105 376 was 107 376 in 109 376 the 111 376 cabin. 113 376 But 115 376 then, 117 376 the 119 376 idea 121 376 was, 123 376 that 125 376 his 127 376 presence 129 376 was 131 376 by 133 376 no 135 376 means 137 376 necessary 139 376 in 143 376 getting 145 376 the 147 376 ship 149 376 under 151 376 weigh, 153 376 and 155 376 steering 157 376 her 159 376 well 161 376 out 163 376 to 165 376 sea. 167 376 Indeed, 169 376 as 171 376 that 173 376 was 175 376 not 177 376 at 179 376 all 181 376 his 183 376 proper 185 376 business, 187 376 but 189 376 the 191 376 pilot's; 193 376 and 195 376 as 197 376 he 199 376 was 201 376 not 203 376 yet 205 376 completely 207 376 recovered--so 209 376 they 211 376 said--therefore, 213 376 Captain 215 376 Ahab 217 376 stayed 219 376 below. 221 376 And 223 376 all 225 376 this 227 376 seemed 229 376 natural 231 376 enough; 233 376 especially 237 376 as 239 376 in 241 376 the 243 376 merchant 245 376 service 247 376 many 249 376 captains 251 376 never 253 376 show 255 376 themselves 257 376 on 259 376 deck 261 376 for 263 376 a 265 376 considerable 267 376 time 269 376 after 271 376 heaving 273 376 up 275 376 the 277 376 anchor, 279 376 but 281 376 remain 283 376 over 285 376 the 287 376 cabin 289 376 table, 291 376 having 293 376 a 295 376 farewell 297 376 merry-making 299 376 with 301 376 their 303 376 shore 305 376 friends, 307 376 before 309 376 they 311 376 quit 313 376 the 315 376 ship 317 376 for 319 376 good 321 376 with 323 376 the 325 376 pilot. 327 376 But 331 376 there 333 376 was 335 376 not 337 376 much 339 376 chance 341 376 to 343 376 think 345 376 over 347 376 the 349 376 matter, 351 376 for 353 376 Captain 355 376 Peleg 357 376 was 359 376 now 361 376 all 363 376 alive. 365 376 He 367 376 seemed 369 376 to 371 376 do 373 376 most 375 376 of 1 377 the 2 377 talking 3 377 and 4 377 commanding, 5 377 and 6 377 not 7 377 Bildad. 8 377 "Aft 9 377 here, 10 377 ye 11 377 sons 12 377 of 14 377 bachelors," 15 377 he 16 377 cried, 17 377 as 18 377 the 19 377 sailors 20 377 lingered 21 377 at 22 377 the 23 377 main-mast. 24 377 "Mr. 25 377 Starbuck, 27 377 drive'em 28 377 aft." 30 377 "Strike 31 377 the 32 377 tent 33 377 there!"--was 34 377 the 35 377 next 36 377 order. 37 377 As 38 377 I 40 377 hinted 41 377 before, 42 377 this 43 377 whalebone 44 377 marquee 45 377 was 46 377 never 47 377 pitched 48 377 except 49 377 in 50 377 port; 51 377 and 53 377 on 54 377 board 55 377 the 56 377 Pequod, 57 377 for 59 377 thirty 60 377 years, 61 377 the 62 377 order 63 377 to 64 377 strike 66 377 the 67 377 tent 68 377 was 69 377 well 70 377 known 71 377 to 72 377 be 73 377 the 74 377 next 75 377 thing 76 377 to 77 377 heaving 79 377 up 80 377 the 81 377 anchor. 82 377 "Man 83 377 the 84 377 capstan! 85 377 Blood 86 377 and 88 377 thunder!--jump!"--was 89 377 the 90 377 next 92 377 command, 93 377 and 94 377 the 95 377 crew 96 377 sprang 97 377 for 98 377 the 99 377 handspikes. 100 377 Now 101 377 in 102 377 getting 103 377 under 105 377 weigh, 106 377 the 107 377 station 108 377 generally 109 377 occupied 110 377 by 111 377 the 112 377 pilot 113 377 is 114 377 the 115 377 forward 118 377 part 119 377 of 120 377 the 121 377 ship. 122 377 And 123 377 here 124 377 Bildad, 125 377 who, 126 377 with 127 377 Peleg, 128 377 be 129 377 it 131 377 known, 132 377 in 133 377 addition 134 377 to 135 377 his 136 377 other 137 377 officers, 138 377 was 139 377 one 140 377 of 141 377 the 142 377 licensed 144 377 pilots 146 377 of 147 377 the 148 377 port--he 149 377 being 150 377 suspected 151 377 to 152 377 have 153 377 got 154 377 himself 155 377 made 157 377 a 158 377 pilot 159 377 in 160 377 order 161 377 to 162 377 save 163 377 the 164 377 Nantucket 165 377 pilot-fee 166 377 to 167 377 all 168 377 the 170 377 ships 171 377 he 172 377 was 173 377 concerned 175 377 in, 176 377 for 177 377 he 178 377 never 179 377 piloted 180 377 any 181 377 other 183 377 craft--Bildad, 184 377 I 185 377 say, 186 377 might 187 377 now 188 377 be 189 377 seen 190 377 actively 191 377 engaged 192 377 in 193 377 looking 194 377 over 196 377 the 197 377 bows 198 377 for 199 377 the 200 377 approaching 201 377 anchor, 202 377 and 204 377 at 205 377 intervals 206 377 singing 207 377 what 209 377 seemed 210 377 a 211 377 dismal 212 377 stave 213 377 of 214 377 psalmody, 215 377 to 216 377 cheer 217 377 the 218 377 hands 219 377 at 220 377 the 222 377 windlass, 223 377 who 224 377 roared 225 377 forth 226 377 some 227 377 sort 228 377 of 229 377 a 230 377 chorus 231 377 about 233 377 the 235 377 girls 236 377 in 237 377 Booble 238 377 Alley, 239 377 with 240 377 hearty 241 377 good 242 377 will. 243 377 Nevertheless, 244 377 not 245 377 three 246 377 days 248 377 previous, 249 377 Bildad 250 377 had 251 377 told 252 377 them 253 377 that 254 377 no 255 377 profane 256 377 songs 257 377 would 258 377 be 259 377 allowed 262 377 on 263 377 board 264 377 the 265 377 Pequod, 266 377 particularly 267 377 in 268 377 getting 269 377 under 270 377 weigh; 271 377 and 272 377 Charity, 274 377 his 275 377 sister, 276 377 had 277 377 placed 278 377 a 279 377 small 280 377 choice 281 377 copy 282 377 of 283 377 Watts 284 377 in 285 377 each 287 377 seaman's 288 377 berth. 289 377 Meantime, 291 377 overseeing 292 377 the 293 377 other 294 377 part 295 377 of 296 377 the 297 377 ship, 298 377 Captain 300 377 Peleg 301 377 ripped 302 377 and 303 377 swore 304 377 astern 305 377 in 306 377 the 307 377 most 308 377 frightful 309 377 manner. 310 377 I 311 377 almost 313 377 thought 314 377 he 315 377 would 316 377 sink 317 377 the 318 377 ship 320 377 before 321 377 the 322 377 anchor 323 377 could 324 377 be 326 377 got 327 377 up; 328 377 involuntarily 329 377 I 330 377 paused 331 377 on 332 377 my 333 377 handspike, 334 377 and 335 377 told 336 377 Queequeg 337 377 to 339 377 do 340 377 the 341 377 same, 342 377 thinking 343 377 of 344 377 the 345 377 perils 346 377 we 347 377 both 349 377 ran, 350 377 in 352 377 starting 353 377 on 354 377 the 355 377 voyage 356 377 with 357 377 such 358 377 a 359 377 devil 360 377 for 361 377 a 362 377 pilot. 363 377 I 365 377 was 366 377 comforting 367 377 myself, 368 377 however, 369 377 with 370 377 the 371 377 thought 372 377 that 373 377 in 374 377 pious 375 377 Bildad 376 377 might 1 378 be 5 378 found 11 378 some 13 378 salvation, 17 378 spite 19 378 of 23 378 his 25 378 seven 29 378 hundred 31 378 and 37 378 seventy-seventh 41 378 lay; 43 378 when 47 378 I 53 378 felt 55 378 a 59 378 sudden 61 378 sharp 65 378 poke 67 378 in 71 378 my 73 378 rear, 79 378 and 83 378 turning 85 378 round, 89 378 was 95 378 horrified 97 378 at 101 378 the 103 378 apparition 107 378 of 109 378 Captain 113 378 Peleg 115 378 in 121 378 the 125 378 act 127 378 of 131 378 withdrawing 137 378 his 139 378 leg 143 378 from 145 378 my 149 378 immediate 151 378 vicinity. 155 378 That 157 378 was 163 378 my 167 378 first 169 378 kick. 173 378 "Is 179 378 that 181 378 the 185 378 way 187 378 they 191 378 heave 193 378 in 197 378 the 199 378 marchant 205 378 service?" 209 378 he 211 378 roared. 215 378 "Spring, 221 378 thou 223 378 sheep-head; 227 378 spring, 229 378 and 233 378 break 235 378 thy 239 378 backbone! 241 378 Why 247 378 don't 251 378 ye 253 378 spring, 257 378 I 263 378 say, 265 378 all 269 378 of 271 378 ye--spring! 275 378 Quohog! 277 378 spring, 281 378 thou 283 378 chap 289 378 with 293 378 the 295 378 red 299 378 whiskers; 305 378 spring 307 378 there, 311 378 Scotch-cap; 313 378 spring, 317 378 thou 319 378 green 323 378 pants. 325 378 Spring, 331 378 I 335 378 say, 337 378 all 341 378 of 347 378 ye, 349 378 and 353 378 spring 355 378 your 359 378 eyes 361 378 out!" 365 378 And 367 378 so 373 378 saying, 377 378 he 1 379 moved 2 379 along 3 379 the 4 379 windlass, 5 379 here 6 379 and 7 379 there 8 379 using 9 379 his 10 379 leg 11 379 very 12 379 freely, 13 379 while 14 379 imperturbable 15 379 Bildad 16 379 kept 17 379 leading 18 379 off 19 379 with 20 379 his 21 379 psalmody. 22 379 Thinks 23 379 I, 24 379 Captain 25 379 Peleg 26 379 must 27 379 have 28 379 been 29 379 drinking 30 379 something 31 379 to-day. 32 379 At 33 379 last 34 379 the 35 379 anchor 36 379 was 37 379 up, 38 379 the 39 379 sails 40 379 were 41 379 set, 42 379 and 43 379 off 44 379 we 45 379 glided. 46 379 It 47 379 was 48 379 a 49 379 short, 50 379 cold 51 379 Christmas; 52 379 and 53 379 as 54 379 the 55 379 short 56 379 northern 57 379 day 58 379 merged 59 379 into 60 379 night, 61 379 we 62 379 found 63 379 ourselves 64 379 almost 65 379 broad 66 379 upon 67 379 the 68 379 wintry 69 379 ocean, 70 379 whose 71 379 freezing 72 379 spray 73 379 cased 74 379 us 75 379 in 76 379 ice, 77 379 as 78 379 in 79 379 polished 80 379 armor. 81 379 The 82 379 long 83 379 rows 84 379 of 85 379 teeth 86 379 on 87 379 the 88 379 bulwarks 89 379 glistened 90 379 in 91 379 the 92 379 moonlight; 93 379 and 94 379 like 95 379 the 96 379 white 97 379 ivory 98 379 tusks 99 379 of 100 379 some 101 379 huge 102 379 elephant, 103 379 vast 104 379 curving 105 379 icicles 106 379 depended 107 379 from 108 379 the 109 379 bows. 110 379 Lank 111 379 Bildad, 112 379 as 113 379 pilot, 114 379 headed 115 379 the 116 379 first 117 379 watch, 118 379 and 119 379 ever 120 379 and 121 379 anon, 122 379 as 123 379 the 124 379 old 125 379 craft 126 379 deep 127 379 dived 128 379 into 129 379 the 130 379 green 131 379 seas, 132 379 and 133 379 sent 134 379 the 135 379 shivering 136 379 frost 137 379 all 138 379 over 139 379 her, 140 379 and 141 379 the 142 379 winds 143 379 howled, 144 379 and 145 379 the 146 379 cordage 147 379 rang, 148 379 his 149 379 steady 150 379 notes 151 379 were 152 379 heard,-- 153 379 "Sweet 154 379 fields 155 379 beyond 156 379 the 157 379 swelling 158 379 flood, 159 379 Stand 160 379 dressed 161 379 in 162 379 living 163 379 green. 164 379 So 165 379 to 166 379 the 167 379 Jews 168 379 old 169 379 Canaan 170 379 stood, 171 379 While 172 379 Jordan 173 379 rolled 174 379 between." 175 379 Never 176 379 did 177 379 those 178 379 sweet 179 379 words 180 379 sound 181 379 more 182 379 sweetly 183 379 to 184 379 me 185 379 than 186 379 then. 187 379 They 188 379 were 189 379 full 190 379 of 191 379 hope 192 379 and 193 379 fruition. 194 379 Spite 195 379 of 196 379 this 197 379 frigid 198 379 winter 199 379 night 200 379 in 201 379 the 202 379 boisterous 203 379 Atlantic, 204 379 spite 205 379 of 206 379 my 207 379 wet 208 379 feet 209 379 and 210 379 wetter 211 379 jacket, 212 379 there 213 379 was 214 379 yet, 215 379 it 216 379 then 217 379 seemed 218 379 to 219 379 me, 220 379 many 221 379 a 222 379 pleasant 223 379 haven 224 379 in 225 379 store; 226 379 and 227 379 meads 228 379 and 229 379 glades 230 379 so 231 379 eternally 232 379 vernal, 233 379 that 234 379 the 235 379 grass 236 379 shot 237 379 up 238 379 by 239 379 the 240 379 spring, 241 379 untrodden, 242 379 unwilted, 243 379 remains 244 379 at 245 379 midsummer. 246 379 At 247 379 last 248 379 we 249 379 gained 250 379 such 251 379 an 252 379 offing, 253 379 that 254 379 the 255 379 two 256 379 pilots 257 379 were 258 379 needed 259 379 no 260 379 longer. 261 379 The 262 379 stout 263 379 sail-boat 264 379 that 265 379 had 266 379 accompanied 267 379 us 268 379 began 269 379 ranging 270 379 alongside. 271 379 It 272 379 was 273 379 curious 274 379 and 275 379 not 276 379 unpleasing, 277 379 how 278 379 Peleg 279 379 and 280 379 Bildad 281 379 were 282 379 affected 283 379 at 284 379 this 285 379 juncture, 286 379 especially 287 379 Captain 288 379 Bildad. 289 379 For 290 379 loath 291 379 to 292 379 depart, 293 379 yet; 294 379 very 295 379 loath 296 379 to 297 379 leave, 298 379 for 299 379 good, 300 379 a 301 379 ship 302 379 bound 303 379 on 304 379 so 305 379 long 306 379 and 307 379 perilous 308 379 a 309 379 voyage--beyond 310 379 both 311 379 stormy 312 379 Capes; 313 379 a 314 379 ship 315 379 in 316 379 which 317 379 some 318 379 thousands 319 379 of 320 379 his 321 379 hard 322 379 earned 323 379 dollars 324 379 were 325 379 invested; 326 379 a 327 379 ship, 328 379 in 329 379 which 330 379 an 331 379 old 332 379 shipmate 333 379 sailed 334 379 as 335 379 captain; 336 379 a 337 379 man 338 379 almost 339 379 as 340 379 old 341 379 as 342 379 he, 343 379 once 344 379 more 345 379 starting 346 379 to 347 379 encounter 348 379 all 349 379 the 350 379 terrors 351 379 of 352 379 the 353 379 pitiless 354 379 jaw; 355 379 loath 356 379 to 357 379 say 358 379 good-bye 359 379 to 360 379 a 361 379 thing 362 379 so 363 379 every 364 379 way 365 379 brimful 366 379 of 367 379 every 368 379 interest 369 379 to 370 379 him,--poor 371 379 old 372 379 Bildad 373 379 lingered 374 379 long; 375 379 paced 376 379 the 377 379 deck 378 379 with 1 380 anxious 3 380 strides; 7 380 ran 9 380 down 11 380 into 13 380 the 17 380 cabin 21 380 to 23 380 speak 27 380 another 29 380 farewell 31 380 word 33 380 there; 37 380 again 39 380 came 41 380 on 43 380 deck, 47 380 and 49 380 looked 51 380 to 53 380 windward; 59 380 looked 61 380 towards 63 380 the 67 380 wide 69 380 and 71 380 endless 73 380 waters, 77 380 only 79 380 bounded 81 380 by 83 380 the 87 380 far-off 89 380 unseen 91 380 Eastern 93 380 Continents; 97 380 looked 99 380 towards 101 380 the 103 380 land; 107 380 looked 109 380 aloft; 111 380 looked 113 380 right 117 380 and 119 380 left; 121 380 looked 123 380 everywhere 127 380 and 129 380 nowhere; 131 380 and 137 380 at 139 380 last, 141 380 mechanically 143 380 coiling 147 380 a 149 380 rope 151 380 upon 153 380 its 157 380 pin, 159 380 convulsively 161 380 grasped 163 380 stout 167 380 Peleg 169 380 by 173 380 the 177 380 hand, 179 380 and 181 380 holding 183 380 up 187 380 a 189 380 lantern, 191 380 for 193 380 a 197 380 moment 199 380 stood 201 380 gazing 203 380 heroically 207 380 in 211 380 his 213 380 face, 217 380 as 219 380 much 221 380 as 223 380 to 227 380 say, 229 380 "Nevertheless, 231 380 friend 233 380 Peleg, 237 380 I 239 380 can 241 380 stand 243 380 it; 249 380 yes, 251 380 I 253 380 can." 257 380 As 259 380 for 261 380 Peleg 263 380 himself, 267 380 he 269 380 took 271 380 it 273 380 more 277 380 like 279 380 a 281 380 philosopher; 283 380 but 287 380 for 289 380 all 291 380 his 293 380 philosophy, 297 380 there 299 380 was 301 380 a 303 380 tear 307 380 twinkling 309 380 in 311 380 his 313 380 eye, 317 380 when 319 380 the 321 380 lantern 327 380 came 329 380 too 331 380 near. 333 380 And 337 380 he, 339 380 too, 341 380 did 343 380 not 347 380 a 349 380 little 351 380 run 353 380 from 357 380 cabin 359 380 to 363 380 deck--now 367 380 a 369 380 word 371 380 below, 373 380 and 377 380 now 379 380 a 1 381 word 2 381 with 4 381 Starbuck, 5 381 the 7 381 chief 8 381 mate. 10 381 But, 11 381 at 13 381 last, 14 381 he 16 381 turned 17 381 to 19 381 his 20 381 comrade, 22 381 with 23 381 a 25 381 final 26 381 sort 28 381 of 29 381 look 31 381 about 32 381 him,--"Captain 34 381 Bildad--come, 35 381 old 37 381 shipmate, 38 381 we 40 381 must 41 381 go. 43 381 Back 44 381 the 46 381 main-yard 47 381 there! 49 381

71 381 Luck 73 381 to 74 381 ye, 76 381 Starbuck--luck 77 381 to 79 381 ye, 80 381 Mr. 82 381 Stubb--luck 83 381 to 85 381 ye, 86 381 Mr. 88 381 Flask--good-bye 89 381 and 91 381 good 92 381 luck 94

118 381 old 119 381 Nantucket. 121 381 Hurrah 122 381 and 124 381 away!" 125 381 "God 128 381 bless 130 381 ye, 131 381 and 133 381 have 134 381 ye 136 381 in 137 381 His 139 381 holy 140 381 keeping, 142 381 men," 143 381 murmured 145 381 old 146 381 Bildad, 148 381 almost 149 381 incoherently. 151 381 "I 152 381 hope 154 381 ye'll 155 381 have 157 381 fine 158 381 weather 160 381 now, 161 381 so 163 381 that 164 381 Captain 166 381 Ahab 167 381 may 169 381 soon 170 381 be 172 381 moving 173 381 among 175 381 ye--a 176 381 pleasant 178 381 sun 179 381 is 181 381 all 182 381 he 184 381 needs,

251 381 Mr. 253 381 Starbuck, 256 381 mind 257 381 that 259 381 cooper 260 381 don't 262 381 waste 263 381 the 265 381 spare 266 381 staves. 268 381 Oh! 269 381 the 271 381 sail-needles 272 381 are

381 miss 298 381 a 299 381 fair 301 381 chance 302 381 either, 304 381 that's 305 381 rejecting 307 381 Heaven's 308 381 good 310 381 gifts. 311 381 Have 313 381 an 314 381 eye 316 381 to 317 381 the 319 381 molasses 320 381 tierce, 322 381 Mr. 323 381 Stubb; 325 381 it 326 381 was 328 381 a 329 381 little 331 381 leaky, 332 381 I 334 381 thought. 335 381 If 337 381 ye 338 381 touch 340 381 at 341 381 the 343 381 islands, 344 381 Mr. 346 381 Flask, 347 381 beware 349 381 of 350 381 fornication. 352 381 Good-bye, 353 381 good-bye! 355 381 Don't 356 381 keep 358 381 that 359 381 cheese 361 381 too 362 381 long 364 381 down 365 381 in 367 381 the 368 381 hold, 370 381 Mr. 371 381 Starbuck; 373 381 it'll 374 381 spoil. 376 381 Be 377 381 careful 379 381 with 380 381 the 1 382 butter--twenty 3 382 cents 5 382 the 7 382 pound 9 382 it 11 382 was, 13 382 and 15 382 mind 17 382 ye, 19 382 if--" 21 382 "Come, 23 382 come, 25 382 Captain 27 382 Bildad; 29 382 stop 31 382 palavering,--away!" 33 382 and 35 382 with 37 382 that, 39 382 Peleg 41 382 hurried 43 382 him 45 382 over 47 382 the 49 382 side, 51 382 and 53 382 both 55 382 dropt 57 382 into 59 382 the 61 382 boat. 63 382 Ship 65 382 and 67 382 boat 69 382 diverged; 71 382 the 73 382 cold, 75 382 damp 77 382 night 79 382 breeze 81 382 blew 83 382 between; 85 382 a 87 382 screaming 89 382 gull 91 382 flew 93 382 overhead; 95 382 the 97 382 two 99 382 hulls 101 382 wildly 103 382 rolled; 105 382 we 107 382 gave 109 382 three 111 382 heavy-hearted 113 382 cheers, 115 382 and 117 382 blindly 119 382 plunged 121 382 like 123 382 fate 125 382 into 127 382 the 129 382 lone 131 382 Atlantic. 133 382 CHAPTER 135 382 23 137 382 The 139 382 Lee 141 382 Shore. 143 382 Some 145 382 chapters 147 382 back, 149 382 one 151 382 Bulkington 153 382 was 155 382 spoken 157 382 of, 159 382 a 161 382 tall, 163 382 newlanded 165 382 mariner, 167 382 encountered 169 382 in 171 382 New 173 382 Bedford 175 382 at 177 382 the 179 382 inn. 181 382 When 183 382 on 185 382 that 187 382 shivering 189 382 winter's 193 382 night, 195 382 the 197 382 Pequod 199 382 thrust 201 382 her 203 382 vindictive 205 382 bows 207 382 into 209 382 the 211 382 cold 213 382 malicious 215 382 waves, 217 382 who 219 382 should 221 382 I 223 382 see 225 382 standing 227 382 at 229 382 her 231 382 helm 233 382 but 235 382 Bulkington! 237 382 I 239 382 looked 241 382 with 243 382 sympathetic 245 382 awe 247 382 and 249 382 fearfulness 251 382 upon 253 382 the 255 382 man, 257 382 who 259 382 in 261 382 mid-winter 263 382 just 265 382 landed 267 382 from 269 382 a 271 382 four 273 382 years' 275 382 dangerous 277 382 voyage, 279 382 could 281 382 so 283 382 unrestingly 285 382 push 287 382 off 289 382 again 291 382 for 293 382 still 295 382 another 297 382 tempestuous 299 382 term. 301 382 The 303 382 land 305 382 seemed 307 382 scorching 309 382 to 311 382 his 313 382 feet. 315 382 Wonderfullest 317 382 things 319 382 are 321 382 ever 323 382 the 325 382 unmentionable; 327 382 deep 329 382 memories 331 382 yield 333 382 no 335 382 epitaphs; 337 382 this 339 382 six-inch 341 382 chapter 343 382 is 345 382 the 347 382 stoneless 349 382 grave 351 382 of 353 382 Bulkington. 355 382 Let 357 382 me 359 382 only 361 382 say 363 382 that 365 382 it 367 382 fared 369 382 with 371 382 him 373 382 as 375 382 with 377 382 the 379 382 storm-tossed 381 382 ship, 1 383 that 2 383 miserably 3 383 drives 4 383 along 5 383 the 6 383 leeward 7 383 land. 8 383 The 9 383 port 10 383 would 11 383 fain 12 383 give 13 383 succor; 14 383 the 15 383 port 16 383 is 17 383 pitiful; 18 383 in 19 383 the 20 383 port 21 383 is 22 383 safety, 23 383 comfort, 24 383 hearthstone, 25 383 supper, 26 383 warm 27 383 blankets, 28 383 friends, 29 383 all 30 383 that's 31 383 kind 32 383 to 33 383 our 34 383 mortalities. 35 383 But 36 383 in 37 383 that 38 383 gale, 39 383 the 40 383 port, 41 383 the 42 383 land, 43 383 is 44 383 that 45 383 ship's 46 383 direst 47 383 jeopardy; 48 383 she 49 383 must 50 383 fly 51 383 all 52 383 hospitality; 53 383 one 54 383 touch 55 383 of 56 383 land, 57 383 though 58 383 it 59 383 but 60 383 graze 61 383 the 62 383 keel, 63 383 would 64 383 make 65 383 her 66 383 shudder 67 383 through 68 383 and 69 383 through. 70 383 With 71 383 all 72 383 her 73 383 might 74 383 she 75 383 crowds 76 383 all 77 383 sail 78 383 off 79 383 shore; 80 383 in 81 383 so 82 383 doing, 83 383 fights 84 383 'gainst 85 383 the 86 383 very 87 383 winds 88 383 that 89 383 fain 90 383 would 91 383 blow 92 383 her 93 383 homeward; 94 383 seeks 95 383 all 96 383 the 97 383 lashed 98 383 sea's 99 383 landlessness 100 383 again; 101 383 for 102 383 refuge's 103 383 sake 104 383 forlornly 105 383 rushing 106 383 into 107 383 peril; 108 383 her 109 383 only 110 383 friend 111 383 her 112 383 bitterest 113 383 foe! 114 383 Know 115 383 ye 116 383 now, 117 383 Bulkington? 118 383 Glimpses 119 383 do 120 383 ye 121 383 seem 122 383 to 123 383 see 124 383 of 125 383 that 126 383 mortally 127 383 intolerable 128 383 truth; 129 383 that 130 383 all 131 383 deep, 132 383 earnest 133 383 thinking 134 383 is 135 383 but 136 383 the 137 383 intrepid 138 383 effort 139 383 of 140 383 the 141 383 soul 142 383 to 143 383 keep 144 383 the 145 383 open 146 383 independence 147 383 of 148 383 her 149 383 sea; 150 383 while 151 383 the 152 383 wildest 153 383 winds 154 383 of 155 383 heaven 156 383 and 157 383 earth 158 383 conspire 159 383 to 160 383 cast 161 383 her 162 383 on 163 383 the 164 383 treacherous, 165 383 slavish 166 383 shore? 167 383 But 168 383 as 169 383 in 170 383 landlessness 171 383 alone 172 383 resides 173 383 highest 174 383 truth, 175 383 shoreless, 176 383 indefinite 177 383 as 178 383 God--so, 179 383 better 180 383 is 181 383 it 182 383 to 183 383 perish 184 383 in 185 383 that 186 383 howling 187 383 infinite, 188 383 than 189 383 be 190 383 ingloriously 191 383 dashed 192 383 upon 193 383 the 194 383 lee, 195 383 even 196 383 if 197 383 that 198 383 were 199 383 safety! 200 383 For 201 383 worm-like, 202 383 then, 203 383 oh! 204 383 who 205 383 would 206 383 craven 207 383 crawl 208 383 to 209 383 land! 210 383 Terrors 211 383 of 212 383 the 213 383 terrible! 214 383 is 215 383 all 216 383 this 217 383 agony 218 383 so 219 383 vain? 220 383 Take 221 383 heart, 222 383 take 223 383 heart, 224 383 O 225 383 Bulkington! 226 383 Bear 227 383 thee 228 383 grimly, 229 383 demigod! 230 383 Up 231 383 from 232 383 the 233 383 spray 234 383 of 235 383 thy 236 383 ocean-perishing--straight 237 383 up, 238 383 leaps 239 383 thy 240 383 apotheosis! 241 383 CHAPTER 242 383 24 243 383 The 244 383 Advocate. 245 383 As 246 383 Queequeg 247 383 and 248 383 I 249 383 are 250 383 now 251 383 fairly 252 383 embarked 253 383 in 254 383 this 255 383 business 256 383 of 257 383 whaling; 258 383 and 259 383 as 260 383 this 261 383 business 262 383 of 263 383 whaling 264 383 has 265 383 somehow 266 383 come 267 383 to 268 383 be 269 383 regarded 270 383 among 271 383 landsmen 272 383 as 273 383 a 274 383 rather 275 383 unpoetical 276 383 and 277 383 disreputable 278 383 pursuit; 279 383 therefore, 280 383 I 281 383 am 282 383 all 283 383 anxiety 284 383 to 285 383 convince 286 383 ye, 287 383 ye 288 383 landsmen, 289 383 of 290 383 the 291 383 injustice 292 383 hereby 293 383 done 294 383 to 295 383 us 296 383 hunters 297 383 of 298 383 whales. 299 383 In 300 383 the 301 383 first 302 383 place, 303 383 it 304 383 may 305 383 be 306 383 deemed 307 383 almost 308 383 superfluous 309 383 to 310 383 establish 311 383 the 312 383 fact, 313 383 that 314 383 among 315 383 people 316 383 at 317 383 large, 318 383 the 319 383 business 320 383 of 321 383 whaling 322 383 is 323 383 not 324 383 accounted 325 383 on 326 383 a 327 383 level 328 383 with 329 383 what 330 383 are 331 383 called 332 383 the 333 383 liberal 334 383 professions. 335 383 If 336 383 a 337 383 stranger 338 383 were 339 383 introduced 340 383 into 341 383 any 342 383 miscellaneous 343 383 metropolitan 344 383 society, 345 383 it 346 383 would 347 383 but 348 383 slightly 349 383 advance 350 383 the 351 383 general 352 383 opinion 353 383 of 354 383 his 355 383 merits, 356 383 were 357 383 he 358 383 presented 359 383 to 360 383 the 361 383 company 362 383 as 363 383 a 364 383 harpooneer, 365 383 say; 366 383 and 367 383 if 368 383 in 369 383 emulation 370 383 of 371 383 the 372 383 naval 373 383 officers 374 383 he 375 383 should 376 383 append 377 383 the 378 383 initials 379 383 S.W.F. 380 383 (Sperm 381 383 Whale 382 383 Fishery) 1 384 to 5 384 his 7 384 visiting 11 384 card, 13 384 such 17 384 a 19 384 procedure 23 384 would 25 384 be 29 384 deemed 31 384 pre-eminently 35 384 presuming 37 384 and 41 384 ridiculous. 43 384 Doubtless 47 384 one 49 384 leading 53 384 reason 55 384 why 59 384 the 61 384 world 65 384 declines 67 384 honouring 71 384 us 73 384 whalemen, 77 384 is 79 384 this: 83 384 they 85 384 think 89 384 that, 91 384 at 95 384 best, 97 384 our 101 384 vocation 103 384 amounts 107 384 to 109 384 a 113 384 butchering 115 384 sort 119 384 of 121 384 business; 125 384 and 127 384 that 131 384 when 133 384 actively 137 384 engaged 139 384 therein, 143 384 we 145 384 are 149 384 surrounded 151 384 by 155 384 all 157 384 manner 161 384 of 163 384 defilements. 167 384 Butchers 169 384 we 173 384 are, 175 384 that 179 384 is 181 384 true. 185 384 But 187 384 butchers, 191 384 also, 193 384 and 197 384 butchers 199 384 of 203 384 the 205 384 bloodiest 209 384 badge 211 384 have 215 384 been 217 384 all 221 384 Martial 223 384 Commanders 227 384 whom 229 384 the 233 384 world 235 384 invariably 239 384 delights 241 384 to 245 384 honour. 247 384 And 251 384 as 253 384 for 257 384 the 259 384 matter 263 384 of 265 384 the 269 384 alleged 271 384 uncleanliness 275 384 of 277 384 our 281 384 business, 283 384 ye 287 384 shall 289 384 soon 293 384 be 295 384 initiated 299 384 into 301 384 certain 305 384 facts 307 384 hitherto 311 384 pretty 313 384 generally 317 384 unknown, 319 384 and 323 384 which, 325 384 upon 329 384 the 331 384 whole, 335 384 will 337 384 triumphantly 341 384 plant 343 384 the 347 384 sperm 349 384 whale-ship 353 384 at 355 384 least 359 384 among 361 384 the 365 384 cleanliest 367 384 things 371 384 of 373 384 this 377 384 tidy 379 384 earth. 383 384 But 1 385 even 2 385 granting 3 385 the 4 385 charge 6 385 in 8 385 question 9 385 to 12 385 be 13 385 true; 16 385 what 17 385 disordered 18 385 slippery 19 385 decks 23 385 of 24 385 a 26 385 whale-ship 27 385 are 29 385 comparable 31 385 to 32 385 the 34 385 unspeakable 36 385 carrion 37 385 of 38 385 those 39 385 battle-fields 41 385 from 43 385 which 46 385 so 47 385 many 48 385 soldiers 51 385 return 52 385 to 53 385 drink 54 385 in 57 385 all 58 385 ladies' 59 385 plaudits? 61 385 And 62 385 if 64 385 the 67 385 idea 68 385 of 69 385 peril 71 385 so 72 385 much 73 385 enhances 74 385 the 76 385 popular 78 385 conceit 79 385 of 81 385 the 82 385 soldier's 83 385 profession; 86 385 let 87 385 me 89 385 assure 92 385 ye 93 385 that 94 385 many 96 385 a 97 385 veteran 101 385 who 102 385 has 103 385 freely 104 385 marched 106 385 up 107 385 to 108 385 a 109 385 battery, 111 385 would 113 385 quickly 114 385 recoil 116 385 at 117 385 the 118 385 apparition 122 385 of 123 385 the 124 385 sperm 127 385 whale's 128 385 vast 129 385 tail, 131 385 fanning 134 385 into 136 385 eddies 137 385 the 138 385 air 139 385 over 141 385 his 142 385 head. 144 385 For 146 385 what 148 385 are 149 385 the 151 385 comprehensible 152 385 terrors 153 385 of 156 385 man 157 385 compared 158 385 with 159 385 the 162 385 interlinked 163 385 terrors 164 385 and 166 385 wonders 167 385 of 169 385 God! 171 385 But, 172 385 though 173 385 the 174 385 world 177 385 scouts 178 385 at 179 385 us 181 385 whale 183 385 hunters, 184 385 yet 186 385 does 188 385 it 191 385 unwittingly 192 385 pay 193 385 us 194 385 the 197 385 profoundest 199 385 homage; 201 385 yea, 202 385 an 204 385 all-abounding 206 385 adoration! 207 385 for 208 385 almost 211 385 all 212 385 the 213 385 tapers, 214 385 lamps, 216 385 and 218 385 candles 219 385 that 221 385 burn 222 385 round 223 385 the 226 385 globe, 227 385 burn, 228 385 as 229 385 before 232 385 so 233 385 many 234 385 shrines, 236 385 to 237 385 our 239 385 glory! 241 385 But 243 385 look 244 385 at 246 385 this 247 385 matter 248 385 in 249 385 other 251 385 lights; 254 385 weigh 256 385 it 257 385 in 258 385 all 261 385 sorts 262 385 of 263 385 scales; 267 385 see 268 385 what 269 385 we 271 385 whalemen 272 385 are, 274 385 and 276 385 have 277 385 been. 278 385 Why 279 385 did 281 385 the 282 385 Dutch 283 385 in 284 385 De 288 385 Witt's 289 385 time 291 385 have 292 385 admirals 293 385 of 296 385 their 298 385 whaling 299 385 fleets? 302 385 Why 303 385 did 304 385 Louis 306 385 XVI. 307 385 of 309 385 France, 311 385 at 312 385 his 313 385 own 314 385 personal 316 385 expense, 317 385 fit 318 385 out 321 385 whaling 323 385 ships 324 385 from 326 385 Dunkirk, 327 385 and 328 385 politely 331 385 invite 332 385 to 333 385 that 334 385 town 337 385 some 338 385 score 339 385 or 342 385 two 344 385 of 346 385 families 347 385 from 348 385 our 349 385 own 351 385 island 353 385 of 354 385 Nantucket? 356 385 Why 358 385 did 359 385 Britain 361 385 between 362 385 the 366 385 years 367 385 1750 368 385 and 369 385 1788 372 385 pay 373 385 to 376 385 her 377 385 whalemen 379 385 in 381 385 bounties 382 385 upwards 383 385 of 384 385 L1,000,000? 1 386 And 3 386 lastly, 5 386 how 7 386 comes 9 386 it 11 386 that 13 386 we 15 386 whalemen 17 386 of 19 386 America 21 386 now 23 386 outnumber 25 386 all 27 386 the 29 386 rest 31 386 of 33 386 the 35 386 banded 37 386 whalemen 39 386 in 41 386 the 43 386 world; 45 386 sail 47 386 a 49 386 navy 51 386 of 53 386 upwards 55 386 of 57 386 seven 59 386 hundred 61 386 vessels; 63 386 manned 65 386 by 67 386 eighteen 69 386 thousand 71 386 men; 73 386 yearly 75 386 consuming 77 386 4,000,000 79 386 of 81 386 dollars; 83 386 the 85 386 ships 87 386 worth, 89 386 at 91 386 the 93 386 time 95 386 of 97 386 sailing, 99 386 $20,000,000! 101 386 and 103 386 every 105 386 year 107 386 importing 109 386 into 111 386 our 113 386 harbors 115 386 a 117 386 well 119 386 reaped 121 386 harvest 123 386 of 125 386 $7,000,000. 127 386 How 129 386 comes 131 386 all 133 386 this, 135 386 if 137 386 there 139 386 be 141 386 not 143 386 something 145 386 puissant 147 386 in 149 386 whaling? 151 386 But 153 386 this 155 386 is 157 386 not 159 386 the 161 386 half; 163 386 look 165 386 again. 167 386 I 169 386 freely 171 386 assert, 173 386 that 175 386 the 177 386 cosmopolite 179 386 philosopher 181 386 cannot, 183 386 for 185 386 his 187 386 life, 189 386 point 191 386 out 195 386 one 197 386 single 199 386 peaceful 201 386 influence, 203 386 which 205 386 within 207 386 the 209 386 last 211 386 sixty 213 386 years 215 386 has 217 386 operated 219 386 more 221 386 potentially 223 386 upon 225 386 the 227 386 whole 229 386 broad 231 386 world, 233 386 taken 235 386 in 237 386 one 239 386 aggregate, 241 386 than 243 386 the 245 386 high 247 386 and 249 386 mighty 251 386 business 253 386 of 255 386 whaling. 257 386 One 259 386 way 261 386 and 263 386 another, 265 386 it 267 386 has 269 386 begotten 271 386 events 273 386 so 275 386 remarkable 277 386 in 279 386 themselves, 281 386 and 283 386 so 285 386 continuously 287 386 momentous 289 386 in 291 386 their 293 386 sequential 295 386 issues, 297 386 that 299 386 whaling 301 386 may 303 386 well 305 386 be 307 386 regarded 309 386 as 311 386 that 313 386 Egyptian 315 386 mother, 317 386 who 319 386 bore 321 386 offspring 323 386 themselves 325 386 pregnant 327 386 from 329 386 her 331 386 womb. 333 386 It 335 386 would 337 386 be 339 386 a 341 386 hopeless, 343 386 endless 345 386 task 347 386 to 349 386 catalogue 351 386 all 353 386 these 355 386 things. 357 386 Let 359 386 a 361 386 handful 363 386 suffice. 365 386 For 367 386 many 369 386 years 371 386 past 373 386 the 375 386 whale-ship 377 386 has 379 386 been 381 386 the 383 386 pioneer 385 386 in 1 387 ferreting 2 387 out 4 387 the 5 387 remotest 7 387 and 8 387 least 10 387 known 11 387 parts 13 387 of 14 387 the 16 387 earth. 17 387 She 19 387 has 20 387 explored 22 387 seas 23 387 and 25 387 archipelagoes 26 387 which 28 387 had 29 387 no 31 387 chart, 32 387 where 34 387 no 35 387 Cook 37 387 or 38 387 Vancouver 40 387 had 41 387 ever 44 387 sailed. 46 387 If 47 387 American 49 387 and 50 387 European 52 387 men-of-war 53 387 now 55 387 peacefully 56 387 ride 58 387 in 59 387 once 61 387 savage 62 387 harbors, 64 387 let 65 387 them 67 387 fire 68 387 salutes 70 387 to 71 387 the 73 387 honour 74 387 and 76 387 glory 77 387 of 79 387 the 80 387 whale-ship, 82 387 which 83 387 originally 85 387 showed 88 387 them 89 387 the 91 387 way, 92 387 and 94 387 first 95 387 interpreted 97 387 between 98 387 them 100 387 and 101 387 the 103 387 savages. 104 387 They 106 387 may 107 387 celebrate 109 387 as 110 387 they 112 387 will 113 387 the 115 387 heroes 116 387 of 118 387 Exploring 119 387 Expeditions, 121 387 your 122 387 Cooks, 124 387 your 125 387 Krusensterns; 127 387 but 128 387 I 130 387 say 131 387 that 133 387 scores 134 387 of 136 387 anonymous 137 387 Captains 139 387 have 140 387 sailed 142 387 out 143 387 of 145 387 Nantucket, 146 387 that 148 387 were 149 387 as 151 387 great, 152 387 and 154 387 greater 155 387 than 157 387 your 158 387 Cook 160 387 and 161 387 your 163 387 Krusenstern. 164 387 For 166 387 in 167 387 their 169 387 succourless 170 387 empty-handedness, 173 387 they, 175 387 in 176 387 the 178 387 heathenish 179 387 sharked 181 387 waters, 182 387 and 184 387 by 185 387 the 187 387 beaches 188 387 of 190 387 unrecorded, 191 387 javelin 193 387 islands, 194 387 battled 196 387 with 197 387 virgin 199 387 wonders 200 387 and 202 387 terrors 203 387 that 205 387 Cook 206 387 with 208 387 all 209 387 his 211 387 marines 212 387 and 214 387 muskets 217 387 would 218 387 not 220 387 willingly 221 387 have 223 387 dared. 224 387 All 226 387 that 227 387 is 229 387 made 230 387 such 232 387 a 233 387 flourish 235 387 of 236 387 in 238 387 the 239 387 old 241 387 South 242 387 Sea 244 387 Voyages, 245 387 those 247 387 things 248 387 were 250 387 but 251 387 the 253 387 life-time 254 387 commonplaces 256 387 of 257 387 our 259 387 heroic 260 387 Nantucketers. 262 387 Often, 263 387 adventures 265 387 which 266 387 Vancouver 268 387 dedicates 269 387 three 271 387 chapters 272 387 to, 274 387 these 275 387 men 277 387 accounted 278 387 unworthy 280 387 of 281 387 being 283 387 set 284 387 down 286 387 in 287 387 the 289 387 ship's 290 387 common 292 387 log. 293 387 Ah, 295 387 the 296 387 world! 298 387 Oh, 299 387 the 302 387 world! 304 387 Until 305 387 the 307 387 whale 308 387 fishery 310 387 rounded 311 387 Cape 313 387 Horn, 314 387 no 316 387 commerce 317 387 but 319 387 colonial, 320 387 scarcely 322 387 any 323 387 intercourse 325 387 but 326 387 colonial, 328 387 was 329 387 carried 331 387 on 332 387 between 334 387 Europe 335 387 and 337 387 the 338 387 long 340 387 line 341 387 of 343 387 the 346 387 opulent 347 387 Spanish 349 387 provinces 350 387 on 352 387 the 353 387 Pacific 355 387 coast. 356 387 It 358 387 was 359 387 the 361 387 whaleman 362 387 who 364 387 first 365 387 broke 367 387 through 368 387 the 370 387 jealous 371 387 policy 373 387 of 374 387 the 376 387 Spanish 377 387 crown, 379 387 touching 380 387 those 382 387 colonies; 383 387 and, 385 387 if 386 387 space 1 388 permitted, 3 388 it 5 388 might 7 388 be 9 388 distinctly 11 388 shown 13 388 how 15 388 from 17 388 those 19 388 whalemen 21 388 at 23 388 last 25 388 eventuated 27 388 the 29 388 liberation 31 388 of 33 388 Peru, 35 388 Chili, 37 388 and 39 388 Bolivia 41 388 from 43 388 the 45 388 yoke 47 388 of 49 388 Old 51 388 Spain, 53 388 and 55 388 the 57 388 establishment 59 388 of 61 388 the 63 388 eternal 65 388 democracy 67 388 in 69 388 those 71 388 parts. 73 388 That 75 388 great 77 388 America 79 388 on 81 388 the 83 388 other 85 388 side 87 388 of 89 388 the 91 388 sphere, 93 388 Australia, 95 388 was 99 388 given 101 388 to 103 388 the 105 388 enlightened 107 388 world 109 388 by 111 388 the 113 388 whaleman. 115 388 After 117 388 its 119 388 first 121 388 blunder-born 123 388 discovery 125 388 by 127 388 a 129 388 Dutchman, 131 388 all 133 388 other 135 388 ships 137 388 long 139 388 shunned 141 388 those 143 388 shores 145 388 as 147 388 pestiferously 149 388 barbarous; 151 388 but 153 388 the 155 388 whale-ship 157 388 touched 159 388 there. 161 388 The 163 388 whale-ship 165 388 is 167 388 the 169 388 true 171 388 mother 173 388 of 175 388 that 177 388 now 179 388 mighty 181 388 colony. 183 388 Moreover, 185 388 in 187 388 the 189 388 infancy 191 388 of 193 388 the 195 388 first 197 388 Australian 199 388 settlement, 201 388 the 203 388 emigrants 205 388 were 207 388 several 209 388 times 211 388 saved 213 388 from 215 388 starvation 217 388 by 219 388 the 221 388 benevolent 223 388 biscuit 225 388 of 227 388 the 229 388 whale-ship 231 388 luckily 233 388 dropping 235 388 an 237 388 anchor 239 388 in 241 388 their 243 388 waters. 245 388 The 247 388 uncounted 249 388 isles 251 388 of 253 388 all 255 388 Polynesia 257 388 confess 259 388 the 261 388 same 263 388 truth, 265 388 and 267 388 do 269 388 commercial 271 388 homage 273 388 to 275 388 the 277 388 whale-ship, 279 388 that 281 388 cleared 283 388 the 285 388 way 287 388 for 289 388 the 293 388 missionary 295 388 and 297 388 the 299 388 merchant, 301 388 and 303 388 in 305 388 many 307 388 cases 309 388 carried 311 388 the 313 388 primitive 315 388 missionaries 317 388 to 319 388 their 321 388 first 323 388 destinations. 325 388 If 327 388 that 329 388 double-bolted 331 388 land, 333 388 Japan, 335 388 is 337 388 ever 339 388 to 341 388 become 343 388 hospitable, 345 388 it 347 388 is 349 388 the 351 388 whale-ship 353 388 alone 355 388 to 357 388 whom 359 388 the 361 388 credit 363 388 will 365 388 be 367 388 due; 369 388 for 371 388 already 373 388 she 375 388 is 377 388 on 379 388 the 381 388 threshold. 383 388 But 385 388 if, 387 388 in 1 389 the 2 389 face 3 389 of 4 389 all 5 389 this, 6 389 you 7 389 still 8 389 declare 9 389 that 10 389 whaling 11 389 has 12 389 no 13 389 aesthetically 14 389 noble 15 389 associations 16 389 connected 17 389 with 18 389 it, 19 389 then 20 389 am 21 389 I 22 389 ready 23 389 to 24 389 shiver 25 389 fifty 26 389 lances 27 389 with 28 389 you 29 389 there, 30 389 and 31 389 unhorse 32 389 you 33 389 with 34 389 a 35 389 split 36 389 helmet 37 389 every 38 389 time. 39 389 The 40 389 whale 41 389 has 42 389 no 43 389 famous 44 389 author, 45 389 and 46 389 whaling 47 389 no 48 389 famous 49 389 chronicler, 50 389 you 51 389 will 52 389 say. 53 389 THE 54 389 WHALE 55 389 NO 56 389 FAMOUS 57 389 AUTHOR, 58

389 Other, 106 389 the 107 389 Norwegian 108 389 whale-hunter 109 389 of 110 389 those 111 389 times! 112 389 And 113 389 who 114 389 pronounced 115 389 our 116 389 glowing 117 389 eulogy 118 389 in

WHALING 219 389 NOT 220 389 RESPECTABLE? 221 389 Whaling 222 389 is 223 389 imperial! 224 389 By 225 389 old 226 389 English 227 389 statutory 228 389 law, 229 389 the 230 389 whale 231 389 is 232 389

more! 365 389 I 366 389 know 367 389 a 368 389 man 369 389 that, 370 389 in 371 389 his 372 389 lifetime, 373 389 has 374 389 taken 375 389 three 376 389 hundred 377 389 and 378 389 fifty 379 389 whales. 380 389 I 381 389 account 382 389 that 383 389 man 384 389 more 385 389 honourable 386 389 than 387 389 that 388 389 great 1 390 captain 7 390 of 11 390 antiquity 17 390 who 19 390 boasted 23 390 of 29 390 taking 31 390 as 37 390 many 41 390 walled 43 390 towns. 47 390 And, 49 390 as 53 390 for 59 390 me, 61 390 if, 67 390 by 71 390 any 73 390 possibility, 77 390 there 79 390 be 83 390 any 89 390 as 97 390 yet 101 390 undiscovered 103 390 prime 107 390 thing 109 390 in 113 390 me; 119 390 if 121 390 I 127 390 shall 131 390 ever 133 390 deserve 137 390 any 139 390 real 149 390 repute 151 390 in 157 390 that 161 390 small 163 390 but 167 390 high 173 390 hushed 179 390 world 181 390 which 187 390 I 191 390 might 193 390 not 197 390 be 199 390 unreasonably 203 390 ambitious 209 390 of; 211 390 if 217 390 hereafter 223 390 I 227 390 shall 229 390 do 233 390 anything 239 390 that, 241 390 upon 251 390 the 253 390 whole, 257 390 a 259 390 man 263 390 might 269 390 rather 271 390 have 277 390 done 281 390 than 283 390 to 287 390 have 289 390 left 293 390 undone; 301 390 if, 307 390 at 311 390 my 313 390 death, 317 390 my 319 390 executors, 323 390 or 329 390 more 331 390 properly

all 2 391 the 3 391 honour 4 391 and 5 391 the 6 391 glory 7 391 to 8 391 whaling; 9 391 for 10 391 a 11 391 whale-ship 12 391 was 13 391 my 14 391 Yale 15 391 College 16 391 and 18 391 my 19 391 Harvard. 20 391 CHAPTER 21 391 25 22 391 Postscript. 24 391 In 25 391 behalf 26 391 of 27 391 the 28 391 dignity 29 391 of 30 391 whaling, 31 391 I 32 391 would 33 391 fain 35 391 advance 36 391 naught 37 391 but 38 391 substantiated 39 391 facts. 40 391 But 41 391 after 42 391 embattling 43 391 his 44 391 facts, 45 391 an 47 391 advocate 48 391 who 49 391 should 50 391 wholly 52 391 suppress 53 391 a 54 391 not 55 391 unreasonable 56 391 surmise, 57 391 which 58 391 might 59 391 tell 60 391 eloquently 61 391 upon 62 391 his 63 391 cause--such 64 391 an 65 391 advocate, 66 391 would 67 391 he 70 391 not 71 391 be 72 391 blameworthy? 73 391 It 74 391 is 75 391 well 76 391 known 77 391 that 78 391 at 79 391 the 80 391 coronation 81 391 of 82 391 kings 83 391 and 84 391 queens, 86 391 even 87 391 modern 88 391 ones, 89 391 a 90 391 certain 91 391 curious 93 391 process 94 391 of 95 391 seasoning 96 391 them 97 391 for 98 391 their 99 391 functions 100 391 is 101 391 gone 103 391 through. 104 391 There 105 391 is 106 391 a 107 391 saltcellar 108 391 of 109 391 state, 110 391 so 111 391 called, 112 391 and 113 391 there 114 391 may 116 391 be 117 391 a 118 391 castor 120 391 of 121 391 state. 122 391 How 123 391 they 124 391 use 125 391 the 126 391 salt, 127 391 precisely--who 128 391 knows? 129 391 Certain 130 391 I 131 391 am, 132 391 however, 133 391 that 134 391 a 135 391 king's 137 391 head 139 391 is 140 391 solemnly 141 391 oiled 142 391 at 143 391 his 144 391 coronation, 145 391 even 146 391 as 147 391 a 148 391 head 149 391 of 150 391 salad. 151 391 Can 152 391 it 154 391 be, 155 391 though, 156 391 that 157 391 they 158 391 anoint 159 391 it 160 391 with 162 391 a 163 391 view 164 391 of 165 391 making 166 391 its 167 391 interior 168 391 run 169 391 well, 171 391 as 172 391 they 173 391 anoint 174 391 machinery? 175 391 Much 176 391 might 177 391 be 178 391 ruminated 179 391 here, 180 391 concerning 181 391 the 182 391 essential 183 391 dignity 185 391 of 186 391 this 188 391 regal 189 391 process, 190 391 because 191 391 in 192 391 common 193 391 life 194 391 we 195 391 esteem 196 391 but 197 391 meanly 198 391 and 199 391 contemptibly 200 391 a 201 391 fellow 202 391 who 203 391 anoints 205 391 his 206 391 hair, 208 391 and 209 391 palpably 210 391 smells 211 391 of 212 391 that 213 391 anointing. 214 391 In 215 391 truth, 216 391 a 217 391 mature 218 391 man 219 391 who 220 391 uses 222 391 hair-oil, 223 391 unless 224 391 medicinally, 225 391 that 226 391 man 227 391 has 228 391 probably 229 391 got 231 391 a 232 391 quoggy 233 391 spot 234 391 in 235 391 him 236 391 somewhere. 237 391 As 239 391 a 240 391 general 241 391 rule, 242 391 he 243 391 can't 244 391 amount 245 391 to 246 391 much 247 391 in 248 391 his 249 391 totality. 250 391 But 251 391 the 252 391 only 254 391 thing 256 391 to 257 391 be 258 391 considered 259 391 here, 260 391 is 261 391 this--what 262 391 kind 263 391 of 264 391 oil 265 391 is 266 391 used 267 391 at 268 391 coronations? 269 391 Certainly 270 391 it 271 391 cannot 273 391 be 274 391 olive 275 391 oil, 277 391 nor 278 391 macassar 279 391 oil, 280 391 nor 281 391 castor 282 391 oil, 283 391 nor 284 391 bear's 285 391 oil, 286 391 nor 287 391 train 288 391 oil, 290 391 nor 291 391 cod-liver 292 391 oil. 293 391 What 294 391 then 295 391 can 296 391 it 297 391 possibly 298 391 be, 300 391 but 301 391 sperm 302 391 oil 303 391 in 304 391 its 305 391 unmanufactured, 307 391 unpolluted 308 391 state, 309 391 the 310 391 sweetest 311 391 of 312 391 all 313 391 oils? 314 391 Think 315 391 of 316 391 that, 317 391 ye 318 391 loyal 319 391 Britons! 320 391 we 321 391 whalemen 324 391 supply 325 391 your 326 391 kings 327 391 and 328 391 queens 329 391 with 330 391 coronation 331 391 stuff! 332 391 CHAPTER 333 391 26 334 391 Knights 335 391 and 336 391 Squires. 337 391 The 338 391 chief 339 391 mate 341 391 of 342 391 the 343 391 Pequod 344 391 was 346 391 Starbuck, 347 391 a 348 391 native 349 391 of 350 391 Nantucket, 351 391 and 352 391 a 353 391 Quaker 354 391 by 355 391 descent. 356 391 He 358 391 was 359 391 a 360 391 long, 361 391 earnest 362 391 man, 363 391 and 364 391 though 365 391 born 366 391 on 367 391 an 369 391 icy 370 391 coast, 371 391 seemed 372 391 well 373 391 adapted 375 391 to 376 391 endure 377 391 hot 378 391 latitudes, 379 391 his 380 391 flesh 381 391 being 382 391 hard 383 391 as 384 391 twice-baked 385 391 biscuit. 386 391 Transported 387 391 to 388 391 the 389 391 Indies, 390 391 his 1 392 live 3 392 blood 5 392 would 9 392 not 11 392 spoil 13 392 like 15 392 bottled 17 392 ale. 19 392 He 23 392 must 25 392 have 27 392 been 29 392 born 31 392 in 33 392 some 37 392 time 39 392 of 41 392 general 43 392 drought 45 392 and 47 392 famine, 51 392 or 53 392 upon 55 392 one 57 392 of 59 392 those 61 392 fast 65 392 days 67 392 for 69 392 which 71 392 his 73 392 state 75 392 is 79 392 famous. 81 392 Only 83 392 some 85 392 thirty 87 392 arid 89 392 summers 93 392 had 95 392 he 97 392 seen; 99 392 those 101 392 summers 103 392 had 107 392 dried 109 392 up 111 392 all 113 392 his 115 392 physical 117 392 superfluousness. 121 392 But 123 392 this, 125 392 his 127 392 thinness, 129 392 so 131 392 to 135 392 speak, 137 392 seemed 139 392 no 141 392 more 143 392 the 145 392 token 149 392 of 151 392 wasting 153 392 anxieties 155 392 and 157 392 cares, 159 392 than 163 392 it 165 392 seemed 167 392 the 169 392 indication 171 392 of 173 392 any 177 392 bodily 179 392 blight. 181 392 It 183 392 was 185 392 merely 187 392 the 191 392 condensation 193 392 of 195 392 the 197 392 man. 199 392 He 201 392 was 205 392 by 207 392 no 209 392 means 211 392 ill-looking; 213 392 quite 215 392 the 219 392 contrary. 221 392 His 223 392 pure 225 392 tight 227 392 skin 229 392 was 233 392 an 235 392 excellent 237 392 fit; 239 392 and 241 392 closely 243 392 wrapped 247 392 up 249 392 in 251 392 it, 253 392 and 255 392 embalmed 257 392 with 261 392 inner 263 392 health 265 392 and 267 392 strength, 269 392 like 271 392 a 275 392 revivified 277 392 Egyptian, 279 392 this 281 392 Starbuck 283 392 seemed 285 392 prepared 289 392 to 291 392 endure 293 392 for 295 392 long 297 392 ages 299 392 to 303 392 come, 305 392 and 307 392 to 309 392 endure 311 392 always, 313 392 as 317 392 now; 319 392 for 321 392 be 323 392 it 325 392 Polar 327 392 snow 331 392 or 333 392 torrid 335 392 sun, 337 392 like 339 392 a 341 392 patent 345 392 chronometer, 347 392 his 349 392 interior 351 392 vitality 353 392 was 355 392 warranted 359 392 to 361 392 do 363 392 well 365 392 in 367 392 all 369 392 climates. 373 392 Looking 375 392 into 377 392 his 379 392 eyes, 381 392 you 383 392 seemed 387 392 to 389 392 see 391 392 there 1 393 the 2 393 yet 4 393 lingering 5 393 images 7 393 of 8 393 those 10 393 thousand-fold 11 393 perils 13 393 he 14 393 had 16 393 calmly 17 393 confronted 19 393 through 20 393 life. 22 393 A 23 393 staid, 25 393 steadfast 26 393 man, 28 393 whose 29 393 life 31 393 for 32 393 the 34 393 most 35 393 part 37 393 was 38 393 a 40 393 telling 41 393 pantomime 43 393 of 44 393 action, 46 393 and 47 393 not 49 393 a 50 393 tame 52 393 chapter 53 393 of 55 393 sounds. 56 393 Yet, 58 393 for 59 393 all 61 393 his 62 393 hardy 64 393 sobriety 65 393 and 67 393 fortitude, 68 393 there 70 393 were 71 393 certain 73 393 qualities 74 393 in 76 393 him 77 393 which 79 393 at 80 393 times 82 393 affected, 83 393 and 85 393 in 86 393 some 88 393 cases 89 393 seemed 91 393 well 92 393 nigh 94 393 to 95 393 overbalance 97 393 all 98 393 the 100 393 rest. 101 393 Uncommonly 103 393 conscientious 104 393 for 106 393 a 107 393 seaman, 109 393 and 110 393 endued 112 393 with 113 393 a 115 393 deep 116 393 natural 118 393 reverence, 119 393 the 121 393 wild 122 393 watery 124 393 loneliness 125 393 of 127 393 his 128 393 life 130 393 did 133 393 therefore 134 393 strongly 136 393 incline 137 393 him 139 393 to 140 393 superstition; 142 393 but 143 393 to 145 393 that 146 393 sort 148 393 of 149 393 superstition, 151 393 which 152 393 in 154 393 some 155 393 organizations 157 393 seems 158 393 rather 160 393 to 161 393 spring, 163 393 somehow, 164 393 from 166 393 intelligence 167 393 than 169 393 from 170 393 ignorance. 172 393 Outward 173 393 portents 175 393 and 176 393 inward 178 393 presentiments 179 393 were 181 393 his. 182 393 And 184 393 if 185 393 at 187 393 times 188 393 these 190 393 things 191 393 bent 193 393 the 194 393 welded 196 393 iron 197 393 of 199 393 his 200 393 soul, 202 393 much 203 393 more 205 393 did 206 393 his 208 393 far-away 209 393 domestic 211 393 memories 212 393 of 214 393 his 215 393 young 217 393 Cape 218 393 wife 220 393 and 221 393 child, 223 393 tend 224 393 to 226 393 bend 227 393 him 229 393 still 230 393 more 232 393 from 233 393 the 235 393 original 236 393 ruggedness 238 393 of 239 393 his 241 393 nature, 242 393 and 244 393 open 245 393 him 247 393 still 248 393 further 250 393 to 251 393 those 253 393 latent 254 393 influences 256 393 which, 257 393 in 259 393 some 260 393 honest-hearted 263 393 men, 265 393 restrain 266 393 the 268 393 gush 269 393 of 271 393 dare-devil 272 393 daring, 274 393 so 275 393 often 277 393 evinced 278 393 by 280 393 others 281 393 in 283 393 the 284 393 more 286 393 perilous 287 393 vicissitudes 289 393 of 290 393 the 292 393 fishery. 293 393 "I 295 393 will 296 393 have 298 393 no 299 393 man 301 393 in 302 393 my 304 393 boat," 305 393 said 307 393 Starbuck, 308 393 "who 310 393 is 311 393 not 313 393 afraid 314 393 of 316 393 a 317 393 whale." 319 393 By 320 393 this, 322 393 he 323 393 seemed 325 393 to 326 393 mean, 328 393 not 329 393 only 331 393 that 332 393 the 334 393 most 335 393 reliable 337 393 and 338 393 useful 340 393 courage 341 393 was 343 393 that 344 393 which 346 393 arises 347 393 from 349 393 the 350 393 fair 352 393 estimation 353 393 of 355 393 the 356 393 encountered 358 393 peril, 359 393 but 361 393 that 362 393 an 364 393 utterly 365 393 fearless 367 393 man 368 393 is 370 393 a 371 393 far 373 393 more 374 393 dangerous 376 393 comrade 377 393 than 379 393 a 380 393 coward. 382 393 "Aye, 383 393 aye," 385 393 said 386 393 Stubb, 388 393 the 389 393 second 391 393 mate, 392 393 "Starbuck, 1 394 there, 3 394 is 5 394 as 7 394 careful 9 394 a 11 394 man 13 394 as 15 394 you'll 17 394 find 19 394 anywhere 21 394 in 23 394 this 25 394 fishery." 27 394 But 29 394 we 31 394 shall 33 394 ere 35 394 long 37 394 see 39 394 what 41 394 that 43 394 word 45 394 "careful" 47 394 precisely 49 394 means 51 394 when 53 394 used 55 394 by 57 394 a 59 394 man 61 394 like 63 394 Stubb, 65 394 or 67 394 almost 69 394 any 71 394 other 73 394 whale 75 394 hunter. 77 394 Starbuck 79 394 was 81 394 no 83 394 crusader 85 394 after 87 394 perils; 89 394 in 91 394 him 93 394 courage 95 394 was 97 394 not 99 394 a 101 394 sentiment; 103 394 but 105 394 a 107 394 thing 109 394 simply 111 394 useful 113 394 to 115 394 him, 117 394 and 119 394 always 121 394 at 123 394 hand 125 394 upon 127 394 all 129 394 mortally 131 394 practical 133 394 occasions. 135 394 Besides, 137 394 he 139 394 thought, 141 394 perhaps, 143 394 that 145 394 in 147 394 this 149 394 business 151 394 of 153 394 whaling, 155 394 courage 157 394 was 159 394 one 161 394 of 163 394 the 165 394 great 167 394 staple 169 394 outfits 171 394 of 173 394 the 175 394 ship, 177 394 like 179 394 her 181 394 beef 183 394 and 185 394 her 187 394 bread, 189 394 and 191 394 not 193 394 to 195 394 be 199 394 foolishly 201 394 wasted. 203 394 Wherefore 205 394 he 207 394 had 209 394 no 211 394 fancy 213 394 for 215 394 lowering 217 394 for 219 394 whales 221 394 after 223 394 sun-down; 225 394 nor 227 394 for 229 394 persisting 231 394 in 233 394 fighting 235 394 a 237 394 fish 239 394 that 241 394 too 243 394 much 245 394 persisted 247 394 in 249 394 fighting 251 394 him. 253 394 For, 255 394 thought 257 394 Starbuck, 259 394 I 261 394 am 263 394 here 265 394 in 267 394 this 269 394 critical 271 394 ocean 273 394 to 275 394 kill 277 394 whales 279 394 for 281 394 my 283 394 living, 285 394 and 287 394 not 289 394 to 291 394 be 293 394 killed 295 394 by 297 394 them 299 394 for 301 394 theirs; 303 394 and 305 394 that 307 394 hundreds 309 394 of 311 394 men 313 394 had 315 394 been 317 394 so 319 394 killed 321 394 Starbuck 323 394 well 325 394 knew. 327 394 What 329 394 doom 331 394 was 333 394 his 335 394 own 337 394 father's? 339 394 Where, 341 394 in 343 394 the 345 394 bottomless 347 394 deeps, 349 394 could 351 394 he 353 394 find 355 394 the 357 394 torn 359 394 limbs 361 394 of 363 394 his 365 394 brother? 367 394 With 369 394 memories 371 394 like 373 394 these 375 394 in 377 394 him, 379 394 and, 381 394 moreover, 383 394 given 385 394 to 387 394 a 389 394 certain 391 394 superstitiousness, 393 394 as 1 395 has 2 395 been 3 395 said; 4 395 the 6 395 courage 7 395 of 8 395 this 9 395 Starbuck 11 395 which 12 395 could, 13 395 nevertheless, 14 395 still 16 395 flourish, 17 395 must 18 395 indeed 19 395 have 21 395 been 22 395 extreme. 23 395 But 24 395 it 26 395 was 27 395 not 28 395 in 29 395 reasonable 31 395 nature 32 395 that 33 395 a 34 395 man 36 395 so 37 395 organized, 38 395 and 39 395 with 41 395 such 42 395 terrible 43 395 experiences 44 395 and 46 395 remembrances 47 395 as 48 395 he 49 395 had; 51 395 it 52 395 was 53 395 not 54 395 in 56 395 nature 57 395 that 58 395 these 59 395 things 61 395 should 62 395 fail 63 395 in 64 395 latently 66 395 engendering 67 395 an 68 395 element 69 395 in 71 395 him, 72 395 which, 73 395 under 74 395 suitable 76 395 circumstances, 77 395 would 78 395 break 81 395 out 82 395 from 83 395 its 84 395 confinement, 86 395 and 87 395 burn 88 395 all 89 395 his 91 395 courage 92 395 up. 93 395 And 94 395 brave 96 395 as 97 395 he 98 395 might 99 395 be, 101 395 it 102 395 was 103 395 that 104 395 sort 106 395 of 107 395 bravery 108 395 chiefly, 109 395 visible 111 395 in 112 395 some 113 395 intrepid 114 395 men, 116 395 which, 117 395 while 118 395 generally 119 395 abiding 121 395 firm 122 395 in 123 395 the 124 395 conflict 126 395 with 127 395 seas, 128 395 or 129 395 winds, 131 395 or 132 395 whales, 133 395 or 134 395 any 136 395 of 137 395 the 138 395 ordinary 139 395 irrational 141 395 horrors 142 395 of 143 395 the 144 395 world, 146 395 yet 147 395 cannot 148 395 withstand 149 395 those 151 395 more 152 395 terrific, 153 395 because 154 395 more 156 395 spiritual 157 395 terrors, 159 395 which 161 395 sometimes 162 395 menace 163 395 you 164 395 from 166 395 the 167 395 concentrating 168 395 brow 169 395 of 171 395 an 172 395 enraged 173 395 and 174 395 mighty 176 395 man. 177 395 But 178 395 were 179 395 the 181 395 coming 182 395 narrative 183 395 to 184 395 reveal 186 395 in 187 395 any 188 395 instance, 189 395 the 191 395 complete 192 395 abasement 193 395 of 194 395 poor 196 395 Starbuck's 197 395 fortitude, 198 395 scarce 199 395 might 201 395 I 202 395 have 203 395 the 204 395 heart 206 395 to 207 395 write 208 395 it; 209 395 for 211 395 it 212 395 is 213 395 a 214 395 thing 216 395 most 217 395 sorrowful, 218 395 nay 219 395 shocking, 221 395 to 222 395 expose 223 395 the 224 395 fall 226 395 of 227 395 valour 228 395 in 229 395 the 231 395 soul. 232 395 Men 233 395 may 234 395 seem 236 395 detestable 238 395 as 239 395 joint 241 395 stock-companies 242 395 and 243 395 nations; 244 395 knaves, 246 395 fools, 247 395 and 248 395 murderers 249 395 there 251 395 may 252 395 be; 253 395 men 254 395 may 256 395 have 257 395 mean 258 395 and 259 395 meagre 261 395 faces; 262 395 but 263 395 man, 264 395 in 266 395 the 267 395 ideal, 268 395 is 269 395 so 271 395 noble 272 395 and 273 395 so 274 395 sparkling, 276 395 such 277 395 a 278 395 grand 279 395 and 281 395 glowing 282 395 creature, 283 395 that 284 395 over 286 395 any 287 395 ignominious 288 395 blemish 289 395 in 291 395 him 292 395 all 293 395 his 294 395 fellows 296 395 should 297 395 run 298 395 to 299 395 throw 301 395 their 302 395 costliest 303 395 robes. 304 395 That 306 395 immaculate 307 395 manliness 308 395 we 309 395 feel 311 395 within 312 395 ourselves, 313 395 so 314 395 far 317 395 within 318 395 us, 319 395 that 321 395 it 322 395 remains 323 395 intact 324 395 though 326 395 all 327 395 the 328 395 outer 329 395 character 331 395 seem 332 395 gone; 333 395 bleeds 334 395 with 336 395 keenest 337 395 anguish 338 395 at 339 395 the 341 395 undraped 342 395 spectacle 343 395 of 344 395 a 346 395 valor-ruined 347 395 man. 348 395 Nor 349 395 can 351 395 piety 352 395 itself, 353 395 at 354 395 such 356 395 a 357 395 shameful 358 395 sight, 359 395 completely 361 395 stifle 362 395 her 363 395 upbraidings 364 395 against 366 395 the 367 395 permitting 368 395 stars. 369 395 But 371 395 this 372 395 august 373 395 dignity 374 395 I 376 395 treat 377 395 of, 378 395 is 379 395 not 381 395 the 382 395 dignity 383 395 of 384 395 kings 386 395 and 387 395 robes, 388 395 but 389 395 that 391 395 abounding 392 395 dignity 393 395 which 394 395 has 1 396 no 5 396 robed 7 396 investiture. 13 396 Thou 17 396 shalt 19 396 see 23 396 it 25 396 shining 29 396 in 31 396 the 35 396 arm 37 396 that 41 396 wields 43 396 a 47 396 pick 49 396 or 53 396 drives 59 396 a 61 396 spike; 65 396 that 67 396 democratic 71 396 dignity 73 396 which, 79 396 on 83 396 all 85 396 hands, 89 396 radiates 91 396 without 95 396 end 97 396 from 101 396 God; 103 396 Himself! 107 396 The 109 396 great 113 396 God 115 396 absolute! 119 396 The 125 396 centre 127 396 and 131 396 circumference 133 396 of 137 396 all 139 396 democracy! 145 396 His 149 396 omnipresence, 151 396 our 155 396 divine 157 396 equality! 161 396 If, 163 396 then, 167 396 to 169 396 meanest 173 396 mariners, 175 396 and 179 396 renegades 181 396 and 185 396 castaways, 191 396 I 193 396 shall 197 396 hereafter 199 396 ascribe 203 396 high 205 396 qualities, 211 396 though 215 396 dark; 217 396 weave 221 396 round 223 396 them 227 396 tragic 229 396

120 397 second 121 397 mate. 122 397 He 123 397 was 124 397 a 125 397 native 126 397 of 127 397 Cape 128 397 Cod; 129 397 and 130 397 hence, 131 397 according 132 397 to 133 397 local 134 397 usage, 135 397 was 136 397 called 137 397 a 138 397 Cape-Cod-man. 139 397 A 140 397 happy-go-lucky; 141 397 neither 142 397 craven 143 397 nor 144 397 valiant; 145 397 taking 146 397 perils 147 397 as 148 397 they 149 397 came 150 397 with 151 397 an 152 397 indifferent 153 397 air; 154 397 and 155 397 while 156 397 engaged 157 397 in 158 397 the 159 397 most 160 397 imminent 161 397 crisis 162 397 of 163 397 the 164 397 chase, 165 397 toiling 166 397 away, 167 397 calm 168 397 and 169 397 collected 170 397 as 171 397 a 172 397 journeyman 173 397 joiner 174 397 engaged 175 397 for 176 397 the 177 397 year. 178 397 Good-humored, 179 397 easy, 180 397 and 181 397 careless, 182 397 he 183 397 presided 184 397 over 185 397 his 186 397 whale-boat 187 397 as 188 397 if 189 397 the 190 397 most 191 397 deadly 192 397 encounter 193 397 were 194 397 but 195 397 a 196 397 dinner, 197 397 and 198 397 his 199 397 crew 200 397 all 201 397 invited 202 397 guests. 203 397 He 204 397 was 205 397 as 206 397 particular 207 397 about 208 397 the 209 397 comfortable 210 397 arrangement 211 397 of 212 397 his 213 397 part 214 397 of 215 397 the 216 397 boat, 217 397 as 218 397 an 219 397 old 220 397 stage-driver 221 397 is 222 397 about 223 397 the 224 397 snugness 225 397 of 226 397 his 227 397 box. 228 397 When 229 397 close 230 397 to 231 397 the 232 397 whale, 233 397 in 234 397 the 235 397 very 236 397 death-lock 237 397 of 238 397 the 239 397 fight, 240 397 he 241 397 handled 242 397 his 243 397 unpitying 244 397 lance 245 397 coolly 246 397 and 247 397 off-handedly, 248 397 as 249 397 a 250 397 whistling 251 397 tinker 252 397 his 253 397 hammer. 254 397 He 255 397 would 256 397 hum 257 397 over 258 397 his 259 397 old 260 397 rigadig 261 397 tunes 262 397 while 263 397 flank 264 397 and 265 397 flank 266 397 with 267 397 the 268 397 most 269 397 exasperated 270 397 monster. 271 397 Long 272 397 usage 273 397 had, 274 397 for 275 397 this 276 397 Stubb, 277 397 converted 278 397 the 279 397 jaws 280 397 of 281 397 death 282 397 into 283 397 an 284 397 easy 285 397 chair. 286 397 What 287 397 he 288 397 thought 289 397 of 290 397 death 291 397 itself, 292 397 there 293 397 is 294 397 no 295 397 telling. 296 397 Whether 297 397 he 298 397 ever 299 397 thought 300 397 of 301 397 it 302 397 at 303 397 all, 304 397 might 305 397 be 306 397 a 307 397 question; 308 397 but, 309 397 if 310 397 he 311 397 ever 312 397 did 313 397 chance 314 397 to 315 397 cast 316 397 his 317 397 mind 318 397 that 319 397 way 320 397 after 321 397 a 322 397 comfortable 323 397 dinner, 324 397 no 325 397 doubt, 326 397 like 327 397 a 328 397 good 329 397 sailor, 330 397 he 331 397 took 332 397 it 333 397 to 334 397 be 335 397 a 336 397 sort 337 397 of 338 397 call 339 397 of 340 397 the 341 397 watch 342 397 to 343 397 tumble 344 397 aloft, 345 397 and 346 397 bestir 347 397 themselves 348 397 there, 349 397 about 350 397 something 351 397 which 352 397 he 353 397 would 354 397 find 355 397 out 356 397 when 357 397 he 358 397 obeyed 359 397 the 360 397 order, 361 397 and 362 397 not 363 397 sooner. 364 397 What, 365 397 perhaps, 366 397 with 367 397 other 368 397 things, 369 397 made 370 397 Stubb 371 397 such 372 397 an 373 397 easy-going, 374 397 unfearing 375 397 man, 376 397 so 377 397 cheerily 378 397 trudging 379 397 off 380 397 with 381 397 the 382 397 burden 383 397 of 384 397 life 385 397 in 386 397 a 387 397 world 388 397 full 389 397 of 390 397 grave 391 397 pedlars, 392 397 all 393 397 bowed 394 397 to 395 397 the 396 397 ground 1 398 with 3 398 their 5 398 packs; 7 398 what 9 398 helped 11 398 to 13 398 bring 15 398 about 17 398 that 19 398 almost 21 398 impious 23 398 good-humor 25 398 of 27 398 his; 29 398 that 31 398 thing 33 398 must 35 398 have 37 398 been 39 398 his 41 398 pipe. 43 398 For, 45 398 like 47 398 his 49 398 nose, 51 398 his 53 398 short, 55 398 black 57 398 little 59 398 pipe 61 398 was 63 398 one 65 398 of 67 398 the 69 398 regular 71 398 features 73 398 of 75 398 his 77 398 face. 79 398 You 81 398 would 83 398 almost 85 398 as 87 398 soon 89 398 have 91 398 expected 93 398 him 95 398 to 97 398 turn 99 398 out 101 398 of 103 398 his 105 398 bunk 107 398 without 109 398 his 111 398 nose 113 398 as 115 398 without 117 398 his 119 398 pipe. 121 398 He 123 398 kept 125 398 a 127 398 whole 129 398 row 131 398 of 133 398 pipes 135 398 there 137 398 ready 139 398 loaded, 141 398 stuck 143 398 in 145 398 a 147 398 rack, 149 398 within 151 398 easy 153 398 reach 155 398 of 157 398 his 159 398 hand; 161 398 and, 163 398 whenever 165 398 he 167 398 turned 169 398 in, 171 398 he 173 398 smoked 175 398 them 177 398 all 179 398 out 181 398 in 183 398 succession, 185 398 lighting 187 398 one 189 398 from 191 398 the 193 398 other 195 398 to 197 398 the 201 398 end 203 398 of 205 398 the 207 398 chapter; 209 398 then 211 398 loading 213 398 them 215 398 again 217 398 to 219 398 be 221 398 in 223 398 readiness 225 398 anew. 227 398 For, 229 398 when 231 398 Stubb 233 398 dressed, 235 398 instead 237 398 of 239 398 first 241 398 putting 243 398 his 245 398 legs 247 398 into 249 398 his 251 398 trowsers, 253 398 he 255 398 put 257 398 his 259 398 pipe 261 398 into 263 398 his 265 398 mouth. 267 398 I 269 398 say 271 398 this 273 398 continual 275 398 smoking 277 398 must 279 398 have 281 398 been 283 398 one 285 398 cause, 287 398 at 289 398 least, 291 398 of 293 398 his 295 398 peculiar 297 398 disposition; 299 398 for 301 398 every 303 398 one 305 398 knows 307 398 that 309 398 this 311 398 earthly 313 398 air, 315 398 whether 317 398 ashore 319 398 or 321 398 afloat, 323 398 is 325 398 terribly 327 398 infected 329 398 with 331 398 the 333 398 nameless 335 398 miseries 337 398 of 339 398 the 341 398 numberless 343 398 mortals 345 398 who 347 398 have 349 398 died 351 398 exhaling 353 398 it; 355 398 and 357 398 as 359 398 in 361 398 time 363 398 of 365 398 the 367 398 cholera, 369 398 some 371 398 people 373 398 go 375 398 about 377 398 with 379 398 a 381 398 camphorated 383 398 handkerchief 385 398 to 387 398 their 389 398 mouths; 391 398 so, 393 398 likewise, 395 398 against 397 398 all 1 399 mortal 2 399 tribulations, 4 399 Stubb's 5 399 tobacco 8 399 smoke 10 399 might 11 399 have 13 399 operated 16 399 as 17 399 a 20 399 sort 22 399 of 23 399 disinfecting 25 399 agent. 26 399 The 29 399 third 31 399 mate 32 399 was 34 399 Flask, 37 399 a 40 399 native 41 399 of 43 399 Tisbury, 44 399 in 46 399 Martha's 47 399 Vineyard. 50 399 A 52 399 short, 53 399 stout, 55 399 ruddy 58 399 young 59 399 fellow, 61 399 very 62 399 pugnacious 64 399 concerning 65 399 whales, 67 399 who 68 399 somehow 71 399 seemed 73 399 to 74 399 think 79 399 that 80 399 the 82 399 great 83 399 leviathans 85 399 had 86 399 personally 88 399 and 89 399 hereditarily 92 399 affronted 94 399 him; 97 399 and 100 399 therefore 101 399 it 103 399 was 104 399 a 106 399 sort 107 399 of 109 399 point 110 399 of 113 399 honour 115 399 with 116 399 him, 118 399 to 121 399 destroy 122 399 them 124 399 whenever 125 399 encountered. 127 399 So 128 399 utterly 130 399 lost 131 399 was 134 399 he 136 399 to 137 399 all 139 399 sense 142 399 of 143 399 reverence 145 399 for 146 399 the 148 399 many 149 399 marvels 151 399 of 155 399 their 157 399 majestic 158 399 bulk 160 399 and 163 399 mystic 164 399 ways; 166 399 and 167 399 so 169 399 dead 170 399 to 172 399 anything 173 399 like 176 399 an 178 399 apprehension 179 399 of 181 399 any 184 399 possible 185 399 danger 187 399 from 188 399 encountering 191 399 them; 193 399 that 194 399 in 197 399 his 199 399 poor 200 399 opinion, 202 399 the 205 399 wondrous 206 399 whale 208 399 was 211 399 but 212 399 a 214 399 species 215 399 of 218 399 magnified 220 399 mouse, 221 399 or 223 399 at 226 399 least 227 399 water-rat, 229 399 requiring 230 399 only 232 399 a 233 399 little 235 399 circumvention 236 399 and 239 399 some 241 399 small 242 399 application 244 399 of 248 399 time 250 399 and 251 399 trouble 253 399 in 254 399 order 256 399 to 257 399 kill 260 399 and 262 399 boil. 263 399 This 265 399 ignorant, 268 399 unconscious 269 399 fearlessness 271 399 of 272 399 his 274 399 made 275 399 him 277 399 a 278 399 little 281 399 waggish 283 399 in 284 399 the 286 399 matter 289 399 of 290 399 whales; 292 399 he 293 399 followed 295 399 these 296 399 fish 298 399 for 299 399 the 302 399 fun 305 399 of 307 399 it; 310 399 and 311 399 a 313 399 three 314 399 years' 316 399 voyage 317 399 round 319 399 Cape 320 399 Horn 325 399 was 326 399 only 328 399 a 331 399 jolly 332 399 joke 334 399 that 335 399 lasted 337 399 that 338 399 length 340 399 of 341 399 time. 344 399 As 346 399 a 347 399 carpenter's 349 399 nails 352 399 are 353 399 divided 355 399 into 356 399 wrought 358 399 nails 359 399 and 362 399 cut 365 399 nails; 367 399 so 368 399 mankind 370 399 may 373 399 be 374 399 similarly 376 399 divided. 377 399 Little 379 399 Flask 382 399 was 383 399 one 386 399 of 388 399 the 389 399 wrought 391 399 ones; 394 399 made 395 399 to 397 399 clinch 398 399 tight 1 400 and 3 400 last 7 400 long. 9 400 They 11 400

world's 224 403 grievances 225 403 before 226 403 that 227 403 bar 228 403 from 229 403 which 230 403 not 231 403 very 232 403 many 233 403 of 235 403 them 236 403 ever 237 403 come 238 403 back. 239 403 Black 240 403 Little 241 403 Pip--he 242 403 never 243 403 did--oh, 244 403 no! 245 403 he 246 403 went 249 403 before. 250 403 Poor 251 403 Alabama 252 403 boy! 253 403 On 254 403 the 255 403

403 the 271 403 eternal 272 403 time, 274 403 when 275 403 sent 276 403 for, 277 403 to 278 403 the 280 403 great 281 403 quarter-deck 282 403 on 283 403 high, 284 403 he 285 403 was 287 403 bid 288 403 strike 289 403 in 290 403 with 291 403 angels, 292 403 and 293 403 beat 294 403 his 295 403 tambourine 296 403 in 297 403 glory; 298 403 called 300 403 a 301 403 coward 302 403 here, 303 403 hailed 304 403 a 305 403 hero 306 403 there! 307 403 CHAPTER 308 403 28 309 403 Ahab. 311 403 For 313 403 several 314 403 days 315 403 after 316 403 leaving 317 403 Nantucket, 318 403 nothing 319 403 above 320 403 hatches 321 403 was 322 403 seen 323 403 of 324 403 Captain 326 403 Ahab. 327 403 The 328 403 mates 329 403 regularly 330 403 relieved 331 403 each 332 403 other 333 403 at 334 403 the 335 403 watches, 336 403 and 337 403 for 339 403 aught 340 403 that 342 403 could 343 403 be 344 403 seen 345 403 to 346 403 the 347 403 contrary, 348 403 they 349 403 seemed 350 403 to 352 403 be 353 403 the 354 403 only 355 403 commanders 356 403 of 357 403 the 358 403 ship; 359 403 only 360 403 they 361 403 sometimes 362 403 issued 363 403 from 365 403 the 366 403 cabin 367 403 with 368 403 orders 369 403 so 370 403 sudden 371 403 and 373 403 peremptory, 374 403 that 375 403 after 376 403 all 378 403 it 379 403 was 380 403 plain 381 403 they 382 403 but 383 403 commanded 384 403 vicariously. 385 403 Yes, 386 403 their 387 403 supreme 388 403 lord 389 403 and 391 403 dictator 392 403 was 393 403 there, 394 403 though 395 403 hitherto 396 403 unseen 397 403 by 398 403 any 399 403 eyes 400 403 not 401 403 permitted 402 403 to 1 404 penetrate 3 404 into 5 404 the 7 404 now 9 404 sacred 11 404 retreat 13 404 of 15 404 the 17 404 cabin. 19 404 Every 21 404 time 23 404 I 25 404 ascended 27 404 to 29 404 the 31 404 deck 33 404 from 35 404 my 37 404 watches 39 404 below, 41 404 I 43 404 instantly 45 404 gazed 47 404 aft 49 404 to 51 404 mark 53 404 if 55 404 any 57 404 strange 59 404 face 61 404 were 63 404 visible; 65 404 for 67 404 my 69 404 first 71 404 vague 73 404 disquietude 75 404 touching 77 404 the 79 404 unknown 81 404 captain, 83 404 now 85 404 in 87 404 the 89 404 seclusion 91 404 of 93 404 the 95 404 sea, 97 404 became 99 404 almost 103 404 a 105 404 perturbation. 107 404 This 109 404 was 111 404 strangely 113 404 heightened 115 404 at 117 404 times 119 404 by 121 404 the 123 404 ragged 125 404 Elijah's 127 404 diabolical 129 404 incoherences 131 404 uninvitedly 133 404 recurring 135 404 to 137 404 me, 139 404 with 141 404 a 143 404 subtle 145 404 energy 147 404 I 149 404 could 151 404 not 153 404 have 155 404 before 157 404 conceived 159 404 of. 161 404 But 163 404 poorly 165 404 could 167 404 I 169 404 withstand 171 404 them, 173 404 much 175 404 as 177 404 in 179 404 other 181 404 moods 183 404 I 185 404 was 187 404 almost 189 404 ready 191 404 to 193 404 smile 195 404 at 197 404 the 199 404 solemn 201 404 whimsicalities 203 404 of 205 404 that 207 404 outlandish 209 404 prophet 211 404 of 213 404 the 215 404 wharves. 217 404 But 219 404 whatever 221 404 it 223 404 was 225 404 of 227 404 apprehensiveness 229 404 or 231 404 uneasiness--to 233 404 call 235 404 it 237 404 so--which 239 404 I 241 404 felt, 243 404 yet 245 404 whenever 247 404 I 249 404 came 251 404 to 253 404 look 255 404 about 257 404 me 259 404 in 261 404 the 263 404 ship, 265 404 it 267 404 seemed 269 404 against 271 404 all 273 404 warrantry 275 404 to 277 404 cherish 279 404 such 281 404 emotions. 283 404 For 285 404 though 287 404 the 289 404 harpooneers, 291 404 with 293 404 the 295 404 great 297 404 body 299 404 of 301 404 the 305 404 crew, 307 404 were 309 404 a 311 404 far 313 404 more 315 404 barbaric, 317 404 heathenish, 319 404 and 321 404 motley 323 404 set 325 404 than 327 404 any 329 404 of 331 404 the 333 404 tame 335 404 merchant-ship 337 404 companies 339 404 which 341 404 my 343 404 previous 345 404 experiences 347 404 had 349 404 made 351 404 me 353 404 acquainted 355 404 with, 357 404 still 359 404 I 361 404 ascribed 363 404 this--and 365 404 rightly 367 404 ascribed 369 404 it--to 371 404 the 373 404 fierce 375 404 uniqueness 377 404 of 379 404 the 381 404 very 383 404 nature 385 404 of 387 404 that 389 404 wild 391 404 Scandinavian 393 404 vocation 395 404 in 397 404 which 399 404 I 401 404 had 403 404 so 1 405 abandonedly 2 405 embarked. 4 405 But 7 405 it 8 405 was 11 405 especially 13 405 the 14 405 aspect 16 405 of 17 405 the 19 405 three 22 405 chief 23 405 officers 26 405 of 28 405 the 29 405 ship, 31 405 the 32 405 mates, 34 405 which 37 405 was 38 405 most 41 405 forcibly 43 405 calculated 44 405 to 46 405 allay 47 405 these 49 405 colourless 52 405 misgivings, 53 405 and 56 405 induce 58 405 confidence 59 405 and 61 405 cheerfulness 62 405 in 64 405 every 67 405 presentment 68 405 of 71 405 the 73 405 voyage. 74 405 Three 76 405 better, 77 405 more 79 405 likely 82 405 sea-officers 83 405 and 86 405 men, 88 405 each 89 405 in 91 405 his 92 405 own 94 405 different 97 405 way, 98 405 could 101 405 not 103 405 readily 104 405 be 106 405 found, 107 405 and 109 405 they 112 405 were 113 405 every 116 405 one 118 405 of 119 405 them 121 405 Americans; 122 405 a 124 405 Nantucketer, 127 405 a 128 405 Vineyarder, 131 405 a 133 405 Cape 134 405 man. 136 405 Now, 137 405 it 139 405 being 142 405 Christmas 143 405 when 146 405 the 148 405 ship 149 405 shot 151 405 from 152 405 out 154 405 her 157 405 harbor, 158 405 for 161 405 a 163 405 space 164 405 we 166 405 had 167 405 biting 169 405 Polar 172 405 weather, 173 405 though 176 405 all 178 405 the 179 405 time 181 405 running 182 405 away 184 405 from 187 405 it 188 405 to 191 405 the 193 405 southward; 194 405 and 196 405 by 197 405 every 199 405 degree 202 405 and 203 405 minute 206 405 of 208 405 latitude 209 405 which 211 405 we 212 405 sailed, 214 405 gradually 217 405 leaving 218 405 that 221 405 merciless 223 405 winter, 224 405 and 226 405 all 227 405 its 229 405 intolerable 232 405 weather 233 405 behind 236 405 us. 238 405 It 239 405 was 241 405 one 242 405 of 244 405 those 247 405 less 248 405 lowering, 251 405 but 253 405 still 254 405 grey 256 405 and 257 405 gloomy 259 405 enough 262 405 mornings 263 405 of 266 405 the 268 405 transition, 269 405 when 271 405 with 272 405 a 274 405 fair 277 405 wind 278 405 the 281 405 ship 283 405 was 284 405 rushing 286 405 through 287 405 the 289 405 water 292 405 with 293 405 a 296 405 vindictive 298 405 sort 299 405 of 301 405 leaping 302 405 and 304 405 melancholy 307 405 rapidity, 308 405 that 311 405 as 313 405 I 314 405 mounted 316 405 to 317 405 the 319 405 deck 322 405 at 323 405 the 326 405 call 328 405 of 329 405 the 331 405 forenoon 332 405 watch, 334 405 so 337 405 soon 338 405 as 341 405 I 343 405 levelled 344 405 my 346 405 glance 347 405 towards 349 405 the 352 405 taffrail, 353 405 foreboding 356 405 shivers 358 405 ran 359 405 over 361 405 me. 362 405 Reality 364 405 outran 367 405 apprehension; 368 405 Captain 371 405 Ahab 373 405 stood 374 405 upon 376 405 his 377 405 quarter-deck. 379 405 There 382 405 seemed 383 405 no 386 405 sign 388 405 of 389 405 common 391 405 bodily 392 405 illness 394 405 about 397 405 him, 398 405 nor 401 405 of 403 405 the 404 405 recovery 1 406 from 3 406 any. 5 406 He 9 406 looked 11 406 like 13 406 a 15 406 man 17 406 cut 19 406 away 23 406 from 25 406 the 27 406 stake, 31 406 when 33 406 the 37 406 fire 39 406 has 41 406 overrunningly 43 406 wasted 45 406 all 47 406 the 51 406 limbs 53 406 without 55 406 consuming 57 406 them, 59 406 or 61 406 taking 65 406 away 67 406 one 69 406 particle 71 406 from 73 406 their 75 406 compacted 79 406 aged 81 406 robustness. 83 406 His 85 406 whole 89 406 high, 93 406 broad 95 406 form, 97 406 seemed 99 406 made 101 406 of 103 406 solid 107 406 bronze, 109 406 and 111 406 shaped 113 406 in 115 406 an 117 406 unalterable 121 406 mould, 123 406 like 125 406 Cellini's 127 406 cast 129 406 Perseus. 131 406 Threading 135 406 its 137 406 way 139 406 out 141 406 from 143 406 among 149 406 his 151 406 grey 153 406 hairs, 155 406 and 157 406 continuing 159 406 right 163 406 down 165 406 one 167 406 side 169 406 of 171 406 his 173 406 tawny 177 406 scorched 179 406 face 181 406 and 183 406 neck, 185 406 till 187 406 it 191 406 disappeared 193 406 in 195 406 his 197 406 clothing, 199 406 you 201 406 saw 205 406 a 207 406 slender 209 406 rod-like 211 406 mark, 213 406 lividly 215 406 whitish. 219 406 It 221 406 resembled 223 406 that 225 406 perpendicular 227 406 seam 229 406 sometimes 233 406 made 235 406 in 237 406 the 239 406 straight, 241 406 lofty 243 406 trunk 247 406 of 249 406 a 251 406 great 253 406 tree, 255 406 when 257 406 the 263 406 upper 265 406 lightning 267 406 tearingly 269 406 darts 271 406 down 275 406 it, 277 406 and 279 406 without 281 406 wrenching 283 406 a 285 406 single 289 406 twig, 291 406 peels 293 406 and 295 406 grooves 297 406 out 299 406 the 303 406 bark 305 406 from 307 406 top 309 406 to 311 406 bottom, 313 406 ere 317 406 running 321 406 off 323 406 into 325 406 the 327 406 soil, 331 406 leaving 333 406 the 335 406 tree 337 406 still 339 406 greenly 341 406 alive, 345 406 but 347 406 branded. 349 406 Whether 351 406 that 353 406 mark 355 406 was 359 406 born 361 406 with 363 406 him, 365 406 or 367 406 whether 369 406 it 373 406 was 375 406 the 379 406 scar 381 406 left 383 406 by 387 406 some 389 406 desperate 391 406 wound, 393 406 no 395 406 one 397 406 could 401 406 certainly 403 406 say. 405 406 By 1 407 some 2 407 tacit 3 407 consent, 4 407 throughout 5 407 the 6 407 voyage 7 407 little 8 407 or 9 407 no 10 407 allusion 12 407 was 13 407 made 14 407 to 15 407 it, 16 407 especially 17 407 by 18 407 the 19 407 mates. 20 407 But 21 407 once 23 407 Tashtego's 24 407 senior, 25 407 an 26 407 old 27 407 Gay-Head 28 407 Indian 29 407 among 30 407 the 31 407 crew, 32 407 superstitiously 34 407 asserted 35 407 that 36 407 not 38 407 till 39 407 he 40 407 was 41 407 full 42 407 forty 43 407 years 45 407 old 46 407 did 47 407 Ahab 48 407 become 49 407 that 50 407 way 51 407 branded, 52 407 and 53 407 then 54 407 it 56 407 came 57 407 upon 58 407 him, 59 407 not 60 407 in 61 407 the 62 407 fury 63 407 of 64 407 any 65 407 mortal 67 407 fray, 68 407 but 69 407 in 70 407 an 71 407 elemental 72 407 strife 73 407 at 75 407 sea. 76 407 Yet, 78 407 this 79 407 wild 80 407 hint 81 407 seemed 82 407 inferentially 83 407 negatived, 84 407 by 85 407 what 86 407 a 87 407 grey 89 407 Manxman 90 407 insinuated, 91 407 an 92 407 old 93 407 sepulchral 94 407 man, 95 407 who, 96 407 having 97 407 never 98 407 before 100 407 sailed 101 407 out 102 407 of 103 407 Nantucket, 104 407 had 105 407 never 106 407 ere 107 407 this 108 407 laid 109 407 eye 112 407 upon 113 407 wild 114 407 Ahab. 115 407 Nevertheless, 116 407 the 117 407 old 118 407 sea-traditions, 119 407 the 120 407 immemorial 122 407 credulities, 123 407 popularly 124 407 invested 125 407 this 126 407 old 127 407 Manxman 128 407 with 129 407 preternatural 130 407 powers 131 407 of 133 407 discernment. 134 407 So 135 407 that 136 407 no 137 407 white 138 407 sailor 139 407 seriously 140 407 contradicted 141 407 him 142 407 when 144 407 he 145 407 said 146 407 that 147 407 if 149 407 ever 150 407 Captain 151 407 Ahab 152 407 should 153 407 be 155 407 tranquilly 156 407 laid 157 407 out--which 158 407 might 159 407 hardly 160 407 come 161 407 to 162 407 pass, 163 407 so 164 407 he 166 407 muttered--then, 167 407 whoever 168 407 should 169 407 do 170 407 that 171 407 last 172 407 office 173 407 for 174 407 the 175 407 dead, 177 407 would 178 407 find 179 407 a 180 407 birth-mark 181 407 on 182 407 him 183 407 from 184 407 crown 186 407 to 188 407 sole. 189 407 So 190 407 powerfully 191 407 did 192 407 the 193 407 whole 194 407 grim 195 407 aspect 196 407 of 197 407 Ahab 199 407 affect 200 407 me, 201 407 and 202 407 the 203 407 livid 204 407 brand 205 407 which 206 407 streaked 207 407 it, 208 407 that 210 407 for 211 407 the 212 407 first 213 407 few 214 407 moments 215 407 I 216 407 hardly 217 407 noted 218 407 that 219 407 not 221 407 a 223 407 little 224 407 of 225 407 this 226 407 overbearing 227 407 grimness 228 407 was 229 407 owing 230 407 to 232 407 the 233 407 barbaric 234 407 white 235 407 leg 236 407 upon 237 407 which 238 407 he 239 407 partly 240 407 stood. 241 407 It 243 407 had 244 407 previously 245 407 come 246 407 to 247 407 me 248 407 that 249 407 this 250 407 ivory 251 407 leg 252 407 had 254 407 at 255 407 sea 256 407 been 257 407 fashioned 258 407 from 260 407 the 261 407 polished 262 407 bone 263 407 of 265 407 the 266 407 sperm 267 407 whale's 268 407 jaw. 269 407 "Aye, 270 407 he 271 407 was 272 407 dismasted 273 407 off 274 407 Japan," 276 407 said 277 407 the 278 407 old 279 407 Gay-Head 280 407 Indian 281 407 once; 282 407 "but 283 407 like 284 407 his 285 407 dismasted 287 407 craft, 288 407 he 289 407 shipped 290 407 another 291 407 mast 292 407 without 293 407 coming 294 407 home 295 407 for 298 407 it. 299 407 He 300 407 has 301 407 a 302 407 quiver 303 407 of 304 407 'em." 305 407 I 306 407 was 307 407 struck 309 407 with 310 407 the 311 407 singular 312 407 posture 313 407 he 314 407 maintained. 315 407 Upon 316 407 each 317 407 side 318 407 of 320 407 the 321 407 Pequod's 322 407 quarter 323 407 deck, 324 407 and 325 407 pretty 326 407 close 327 407 to 328 407 the 329 407 mizzen 331 407 shrouds, 332 407 there 334 407 was 335 407 an 336 407 auger 337 407 hole, 338 407 bored 339 407 about 340 407 half 342 407 an 343 407 inch 344 407 or 345 407 so, 346 407 into 347 407 the 348 407 plank. 349 407 His 350 407 bone 351 407 leg 353 407 steadied 354 407 in 355 407 that 356 407 hole; 357 407 one 358 407 arm 359 407 elevated, 360 407 and 361 407 holding 362 407 by 364 407 a 365 407 shroud; 366 407 Captain 367 407 Ahab 368 407 stood 369 407 erect, 371 407 looking 372 407 straight 373 407 out 375 407 beyond 376 407 the 377 407 ship's 378 407 ever-pitching 379 407 prow. 380 407 There 381 407 was 382 407 an 383 407 infinity 384 407 of 386 407 firmest 387 407 fortitude, 388 407 a 389 407 determinate, 390 407 unsurrenderable 391 407 wilfulness, 392 407 in 393 407 the 394 407 fixed 395 407 and 397 407 fearless, 398 407 forward 399 407 dedication 400 407 of 401 407 that 402 407 glance. 403 407 Not 404 407 a 405 407 word 406 407 he 1 408 spoke; 5 408 nor 7 408 did 11 408 his 13 408 officers 19 408 say 23 408 aught 25 408 to 29 408 him; 31 408 though 35 408 by 37 408 all 41 408 their 43 408 minutest 47 408 gestures 49 408 and 53 408 expressions, 55 408 they 59 408 plainly 61 408 showed 65 408 the 67 408 uneasy, 71 408 if 73 408 not 77 408 painful, 79 408 consciousness 83 408 of 89 408 being 91 408 under 95 408 a 97 408 troubled 101 408 master-eye. 103 408 And 107 408 not 109 408 only 113 408 that, 115 408 but 121 408 moody 125 408 stricken 127 408 Ahab 131 408 stood 133 408 before 137 408 them 139 408 with 143 408 a 145 408 crucifixion 149 408 in 151 408 his 155 408 face; 157 408 in 161 408 all 163 408 the 167 408 nameless 169 408 regal 173 408 overbearing 175 408 dignity 179 408 of 181 408 some 185 408 mighty 191 408 woe. 193 408 Ere 197 408 long, 199 408 from 203 408 his 205 408 first 209 408 visit 211 408 in 215 408 the 217 408 air, 223 408 he 227 408 withdrew 229 408 into 233 408 his 235 408 cabin. 239 408 But 241 408 after 245 408 that 247 408 morning, 251 408 he 253 408 was 257 408 every 259 408 day 263 408 visible 265 408 to 269 408 the 271 408 crew; 275 408 either 277 408 standing 281 408 in 283 408 his 287 408 pivot-hole, 293 408 or 295 408 seated 299 408 upon 301 408 an 305 408 ivory 307 408 stool 311 408 he 313 408 had; 317 408 or 319 408 heavily 325 408 walking 329 408 the 331 408 deck. 335 408 As 337 408 the 341 408 sky 343 408 grew 347 408 less 349 408 gloomy; 353 408 indeed, 355 408 began 359 408 to 361 408 grow 365 408 a 367 408 little 371 408 genial, 373 408 he 377 408 became 379 408 still 383 408 less 385 408 and 389 408 less 395 408 a 397 408 recluse; 401 408 as 403 408 if, 407 408 when 1 409 the 2 409 ship 3 409 had 4 409 sailed 5 409 from 6 409 home, 7 409 nothing 8 409 but 9 409 the 10 409 dead 11 409 wintry 12 409 bleakness 13 409 of 14 409 the 15 409 sea 16 409 had 17 409 then 18 409 kept 19 409 him 20 409 so 21 409 secluded. 22 409 And, 23 409 by 24 409 and 25 409 by, 26 409 it 27 409 came 28 409 to 29 409 pass, 30 409 that 31 409 he 32 409 was 33 409 almost 34 409 continually 35 409 in 36 409 the 37 409 air; 38 409 but, 39 409 as 40 409 yet, 41 409 for 42 409 all 43 409 that 44 409 he 45 409 said, 46 409 or 47 409 perceptibly 48 409 did, 49 409 on 50 409 the 51 409 at 52 409 last 53 409 sunny 54 409 deck, 55 409 he 56 409 seemed 57 409 as 58 409 unnecessary 59 409 there 60 409 as 61 409 another 62 409 mast. 63 409 But 64 409 the 65 409 Pequod 66 409 was 67 409 only 68 409 making 69 409 a 70 409 passage 71 409 now; 72 409 not 73 409 regularly 74 409 cruising; 75 409 nearly 76 409 all 77 409 whaling 78 409 preparatives 79 409 needing 80 409 supervision 81 409 the 82 409 mates 83 409 were 84 409 fully 85 409 competent 86 409 to, 87 409 so 88 409 that 89 409 there 90 409 was 91 409 little 92 409 or 93 409 nothing, 94 409 out 95 409 of 96 409 himself, 97 409 to 98 409 employ 99 409 or 100 409 excite 101 409 Ahab, 102 409 now; 103 409 and 104 409 thus 105 409 chase 106 409 away, 107 409 for 108 409 that 109 409 one 110 409 interval, 111 409 the 112 409 clouds 113 409 that 114 409 layer 115 409 upon 116 409 layer 117 409 were 118 409 piled 119 409 upon 120 409 his 121 409 brow, 122 409 as 123 409 ever 124 409 all 125 409 clouds 126 409 choose 127 409 the 128 409 loftiest 129 409 peaks 130 409 to 131 409 pile 132 409 themselves 133 409 upon. 134 409 Nevertheless, 135 409 ere 136 409 long, 137 409 the 138 409 warm, 139 409 warbling 140 409 persuasiveness 141 409 of 142 409 the 143 409 pleasant, 144 409 holiday 145 409 weather 146 409 we 147 409 came 148 409 to, 149 409 seemed 150 409 gradually 151 409 to 152 409 charm 153 409 him 154 409 from 155 409 his 156 409 mood. 157 409 For, 158 409 as 159 409 when 160 409 the 161 409 red-cheeked, 162 409 dancing 163 409 girls, 164 409 April 165 409

194 409 glad-hearted 195 409 visitants; 196 409 so 197 409 Ahab 198 409 did, 199 409 in 200 409 the 201 409 end, 202 409 a 203 409 little 204 409 respond 205 409 to 206 409 the 207 409 playful 208 409 allurings 209 409 of 210 409 that 211 409 girlish 212 409 air. 213 409 More 214 409 than 215 409 once 216 409 did 217 409 he 218 409 put 219 409 forth 220 409 the 221 409 faint 222 409 blossom 223 409 of 224 409 a 225 409 look, 226 409 which, 227 409 in 228 409 any 229 409 other 230 409 man, 231 409 would 232 409 have 233 409 soon 234 409 flowered 235 409 out 236 409 in 237 409 a 238 409 smile. 239 409 CHAPTER 240 409 29 241 409 Enter 242 409 Ahab; 243 409 to 244 409 Him, 245 409 Stubb. 246 409 Some 247 409 days 248 409 elapsed, 249 409 and 250 409 ice 251 409 and 252 409 icebergs 253 409 all 254 409 astern, 255 409 the 256 409 Pequod 257 409 now 258 409 went 259 409 rolling 260 409 through 261 409 the 262 409 bright 263 409 Quito 264 409 spring, 265 409 which, 266 409 at 267 409 sea, 268 409 almost 269 409 perpetually 270 409 reigns 271 409 on 272 409 the 273 409 threshold 274 409 of 275 409 the 276 409 eternal 277 409 August 278 409 of 279 409 the 280 409 Tropic. 281 409 The 282 409

Persian 296 409 sherbet, 297 409 heaped 298 409 up--flaked 299 409 up, 300 409 with 301 409 rose-water 302 409 snow. 303 409 The 304 409 starred 305 409 and 306 409 stately 307 409 nights 308 409

409 that 352 409 unwaning 353 409 weather 354 409 did 355 409 not 356 409 merely 357 409 lend 358 409 new 359 409 spells 360 409 and 361 409 potencies 362 409 to 363 409 the 364 409 outward 365 409 world. 366 409 Inward 367 409 they 368 409 turned 369 409 upon 370 409 the 371 409 soul, 372 409 especially 373 409 when 374 409 the 375 409 still 376 409 mild 377 409 hours 378 409 of 379 409 eve 380 409 came 381 409 on; 382 409 then, 383 409 memory 384 409 shot 385 409 her 386 409 crystals 387 409 as 388 409 the 389 409 clear 390 409 ice 391 409 most 392 409 forms 393 409 of 394 409 noiseless 395

410 Old 3 410 age 7 410 is 9 410 always 11 410 wakeful; 13 410 as 17 410 if, 19 410 the 21 410 longer 23 410 linked 27 410 with 29 410 life, 31 410 the 33 410 less 37 410 man 39 410 has 43 410 to 47 410 do 49 410 with 51 410 aught 53 410 that 57 410 looks 59 410 like 61 410 death. 63 410 Among 67 410 sea-commanders, 69 410 the 71 410 old 73 410 greybeards 77 410 will 79 410 oftenest 81 410 leave 83 410 their 87 410 berths 89 410 to 91 410 visit 93 410 the 97 410 night-cloaked 99 410 deck. 101 410 It 103 410 was 107 410 so 109 410 with 111 410 Ahab; 113 410 only 117 410 that 119 410 now, 121 410 of 127 410 late, 129 410 he 131 410 seemed 133 410 so 137 410 much 139 410 to 141 410 live 143 410 in 147 410 the 149 410 open 151 410 air, 153 410 that 157 410 truly 159 410 speaking, 161 410 his 163 410 visits 167 410 were 169 410 more 171 410 to 173 410 the 177 410 cabin, 179 410 than 181 410 from 183 410 the 187 410 cabin 189 410 to 191 410 the 193 410 planks. 197 410 "It 199 410 feels 201 410 like 203 410 going 207 410 down 209 410 into 211 410 one's 213 410 tomb,"--he 217 410 would 219 410 mutter 221 410 to 223 410 himself--"for 227 410 an 229 410 old 231 410 captain 233 410 like 237 410 me 239 410 to 241 410 be 243 410 descending 247 410 this 249 410 narrow 251 410 scuttle, 253 410 to 257 410 go 259 410 to 261 410 my 263 410 grave-dug 267 410 berth." 269 410 So, 271 410 almost 273 410 every 277 410 twenty-four 279 410 hours, 281 410 when 283 410 the 289 410 watches 291 410 of 293 410 the 297 410 night 299 410 were 301 410 set, 303 410 and 307 410 the 309 410 band 311 410 on 313 410 deck 317 410 sentinelled 319 410 the 321 410 slumbers 323 410 of 327 410 the 329 410 band 331 410 below; 333 410 and 337 410 when 339 410 if 341 410 a 343 410 rope 347 410 was 349 410 to 351 410 be 353 410 hauled 357 410 upon 359 410 the 361 410 forecastle, 363 410 the 367 410 sailors 371 410 flung 373 410 it 377 410 not 379 410 rudely 381 410 down, 383 410 as 387 410 by 389 410 day, 391 410 but 393 410 with 397 410 some 399 410 cautiousness 401 410 dropt 403 410 it 407 410 to 409 410 its 1 411 place 2 411 for 4 411 fear 5 411 of 7 411 disturbing 8 411 their 10 411 slumbering 11 411 shipmates; 13 411 when 14 411 this 16 411 sort 17 411 of 19 411 steady 20 411 quietude 22 411 would 23 411 begin 25 411 to 26 411 prevail, 28 411 habitually, 29 411 the 31 411 silent 32 411 steersman 34 411 would 35 411 watch 37 411 the 38 411 cabin-scuttle; 40 411 and 41 411 ere 43 411 long 44 411 the 46 411 old 47 411 man 49 411 would 50 411 emerge, 52 411 gripping 53 411 at 55 411 the 56 411 iron 58 411 banister, 59 411 to 61 411 help 62 411 his 64 411 crippled 65 411 way. 67 411 Some 68 411 considering 70 411 touch 71 411 of 73 411 humanity 74 411 was 76 411 in 77 411 him; 79 411 for 80 411 at 82 411 times 83 411 like 85 411 these, 86 411 he 88 411 usually 89 411 abstained 91 411 from 92 411 patrolling 94 411 the 95 411 quarter-deck; 97 411 because 98 411 to 100 411 his 101 411 wearied 103 411 mates, 104 411 seeking 106 411 repose 107 411 within 109 411 six 110 411 inches 112 411 of 113 411 his 115 411 ivory 116 411 heel, 118 411 such 119 411 would 121 411 have 122 411 been 124 411 the 125 411 reverberating 127 411 crack 128 411 and 130 411 din 131 411 of 133 411 that 134 411 bony 136 411 step, 139 411 that 140 411 their 142 411 dreams 143 411 would 145 411 have 146 411 been 148 411 on 149 411 the 151 411 crunching 152 411 teeth 154 411 of 155 411 sharks. 157 411 But 158 411 once, 160 411 the 161 411 mood 163 411 was 164 411 on 166 411 him 167 411 too 169 411 deep 170 411 for 172 411 common 173 411 regardings; 175 411 and 176 411 as 178 411 with 179 411 heavy, 181 411 lumber-like 182 411 pace 184 411 he 185 411 was 187 411 measuring 188 411 the 190 411 ship 191 411 from 193 411 taffrail 194 411 to 196 411 mainmast, 197 411 Stubb, 199 411 the 200 411 old 202 411 second 203 411 mate, 205 411 came 206 411 up 208 411 from 209 411 below, 211 411 with 212 411 a 214 411 certain 215 411 unassured, 217 411 deprecating 218 411 humorousness, 220 411 hinted 221 411 that 223 411 if 224 411 Captain 226 411 Ahab 227 411 was 229 411 pleased 230 411 to 232 411 walk 233 411 the 235 411 planks, 236 411 then, 238 411 no 239 411 one 241 411 could 242 411 say 244 411 nay; 245 411 but 247 411 there 248 411 might 250 411 be 251 411 some 253 411 way 254 411 of 256 411 muffling 257 411 the 259 411 noise; 260 411 hinting 262 411 something 263 411 indistinctly 265 411 and 266 411 hesitatingly 268 411 about 269 411 a 271 411 globe 272 411 of 275 411 tow, 277 411 and 278 411 the 280 411 insertion 281 411 into 283 411 it, 284 411 of 286 411 the 287 411 ivory 289 411 heel. 290 411 Ah! 292 411 Stubb, 293 411 thou 295 411 didst 296 411 not 298 411 know 299 411 Ahab 301 411 then. 302 411 "Am 304 411 I 305 411 a 307 411 cannon-ball, 308 411 Stubb," 310 411 said 311 411 Ahab, 313 411 "that 314 411 thou 316 411 wouldst 317 411 wad 319 411 me 320 411 that 322 411 fashion? 323 411 But 325 411 go 326 411 thy 328 411 ways; 329 411 I 331 411 had 332 411 forgot. 334 411 Below 335 411 to 337 411 thy 338 411 nightly 340 411 grave; 341 411 where 343 411 such 344 411 as 346 411 ye 347 411 sleep 349 411 between 350 411 shrouds, 352 411 to 353 411 use 355 411 ye 356 411 to 358 411 the 359 411 filling 361 411 one 362 411 at 364 411 last.--Down, 365 411 dog, 367 411 and 368 411 kennel!" 370 411 Starting 371 411 at 373 411 the 374 411 unforseen 376 411 concluding 377 411 exclamation 379 411 of 380 411 the 382 411 so 383 411 suddenly 385 411 scornful 386 411 old 388 411 man, 389 411 Stubb 391 411 was 392 411 speechless 394 411 a 395 411 moment; 397 411 then 398 411 said 400 411 excitedly, 401 411 "I 403 411 am 404 411 not 406 411 used 407 411 to 409 411 be

33 412 between 35 412 his 37 412 set 39 412 teeth, 41 412 and 43 412 violently 45 412 moving 47 412 away, 49 412 as 51 412 if 53 412 to 55 412 avoid 57 412 some 59 412 passionate 61 412 temptation. 63 412 "No, 65 412 sir; 67 412 not 69 412 yet," 71 412 said 73 412 Stubb, 75 412 emboldened, 77 412 "I 79 412 will 81 412 not 83 412 tamely 85 412 be 87 412 called 89 412 a 91 412 dog, 93 412 sir." 95 412 "Then 97 412 be 99 412 called 101 412 ten 105 412 times 107 412 a 109 412 donkey, 111 412 and 113 412 a 115 412 mule, 117 412 and 119 412 an 121 412 ass, 123 412 and 125 412 begone, 127 412 or 129 412 I'll 131 412 clear 133 412 the 135 412 world 137 412 of 139 412 thee!" 141 412 As 143 412 he 145 412 said 147 412 this, 149 412 Ahab 151 412 advanced 153 412 upon 155 412 him 157 412 with 159 412 such 161 412 overbearing 163 412 terrors 165 412 in 167 412 his 169 412 aspect, 171 412 that 173 412 Stubb 175 412 involuntarily 177 412 retreated. 179 412 "I 181 412 was 183 412 never 185 412 served 187 412 so 189 412 before 191 412 without 193 412 giving 195 412 a 197 412 hard 199 412 blow 201 412 for 203 412 it," 205 412 muttered 207 412 Stubb, 209 412 as 211 412 he 213 412 found 215 412 himself 217 412 descending 219 412 the 221 412 cabin-scuttle. 223 412 "It's 225 412 very 227 412 queer. 229 412 Stop, 231 412 Stubb; 233 412 somehow, 235 412 now, 237 412 I 239 412 don't 241 412 well 243 412 know 245 412 whether 247 412 to 249 412 go 251 412 back 253 412 and 255 412 strike 257 412 him, 259 412 or--what's 261 412 that?--down 263 412 here 265 412 on 267 412 my 269 412 knees 271 412 and 273 412 pray 275 412 for 277 412 him? 279 412 Yes, 281 412 that 283 412 was 285 412 the 287 412 thought 289 412 coming 291 412 up 293 412 in 295 412 me; 297 412 but 299 412 it 301 412 would 303 412 be 305 412 the 307 412 first 311 412 time 313 412 I 315 412 ever 317 412 DID 319 412 pray. 321 412 It's 323 412 queer; 325 412 very 327 412 queer; 329 412 and 331 412 he's 333 412 queer 335 412

sailed 367 412 with. 369 412 How 371 412 he 373 412 flashed 375 412 at 377 412 me!--his 379 412 eyes 381 412 like 383 412 powder-pans! 385 412 is 387 412 he 389 412 mad? 391 412 Anyway 393 412 there's

421 priority 15 421 of 16 421 his 17 421 claims, 18 421 and 19 421 the 20 421 profound 21 421 ignorance 22 421 which, 23 421 till 24 421 some 25 421 seventy 26 421 years 27 421 back, 28 421 invested 29 421 the 30 421 then 31 421 fabulous 32 421 or 33 421 utterly 34 421 unknown 35 421 sperm-whale, 36 421 and 37 421 which 38 421 ignorance 39 421 to 40 421 this 41 421 present 42 421 day 43 421 still 44 421 reigns 45 421 in 46 421 all 47 421 but 48 421 some 49 421 few 50 421 scientific 51 421 retreats 52 421 and 53 421 whale-ports; 54 421 this 55 421 usurpation 56 421 has 57 421 been 58 421 every 59 421 way 60 421 complete. 61 421 Reference 62 421 to 63 421 nearly 64 421 all 65 421 the 66 421 leviathanic 67 421 allusions 68 421 in 69 421 the 70 421 great 71 421 poets 72 421 of 73 421 past 74 421 days, 75 421 will 76 421 satisfy 77 421 you 78 421 that 79 421 the 80 421 Greenland 81 421 whale, 82 421 without 83 421 one 84 421 rival, 85 421 was 86 421 to 87 421 them 88 421 the 89 421 monarch 90 421 of 91 421 the 92 421 seas. 93 421 But 94 421 the 95 421 time 96 421 has 97 421 at 98 421 last 99 421 come 100 421 for 101 421 a 102 421 new 103 421 proclamation. 104 421 This 105 421 is 106 421 Charing 107 421 Cross; 108 421 hear 109 421 ye! 110 421 good 111 421 people 112 421 all,--the 113 421 Greenland 114 421 whale 115 421 is 116 421 deposed,--the 117 421 great 118 421 sperm 119 421 whale 120 421 now 121 421 reigneth! 122 421 There 123 421 are 124 421 only 125 421 two 126 421 books 127 421 in 128 421 being 129 421 which 130 421 at 131 421 all 132 421 pretend 133 421 to 134 421 put 135 421 the 136 421 living 137 421 sperm 138 421 whale 139 421 before 140 421 you, 141 421 and 142 421 at 143 421 the 144 421 same 145 421 time, 146 421 in 147 421 the 148 421 remotest 149 421 degree 150 421 succeed 151 421 in 152 421 the 153 421 attempt. 154 421 Those 155 421 books 156 421 are 157 421 Beale's 158 421 and 159 421 Bennett's; 160 421 both 161 421 in 162 421 their 163 421 time 164 421 surgeons 165 421 to 166 421 English 167 421 South-Sea 168 421 whale-ships, 169 421 and 170 421 both 171 421 exact 172 421 and 173 421 reliable 174 421 men. 175 421 The 176 421 original 177 421 matter 178 421 touching 179 421 the 180 421 sperm 181 421 whale 182 421 to 183 421 be 184 421 found 185 421 in 186 421 their 187 421 volumes 188 421 is 189 421 necessarily 190 421 small; 191 421 but 192 421 so 193 421 far 194 421 as 195 421 it 196 421 goes, 197 421 it 198 421 is 199 421 of 200 421 excellent 201 421 quality, 202 421 though 203 421 mostly 204 421 confined 205 421 to 206 421 scientific 207 421 description. 208 421 As 209 421 yet, 210 421 however, 211 421 the 212 421 sperm 213 421 whale, 214 421 scientific 215 421 or 216 421 poetic, 217 421 lives 218 421 not 219 421 complete 220 421 in 221 421 any 222 421 literature. 223 421 Far 224 421 above 225 421 all 226 421 other 227 421 hunted 228 421 whales, 229 421 his 230 421 is 231 421 an 232 421 unwritten 233 421 life. 234 421 Now 235 421 the 236 421 various 237 421 species 238 421 of 239 421 whales 240 421 need 241 421 some 242 421 sort 243 421 of 244 421 popular 245 421 comprehensive 246 421 classification, 247 421 if 248 421 only 249 421 an 250 421 easy 251 421 outline 252 421 one 253 421 for 254 421 the 255 421 present, 256 421 hereafter 257 421 to 258 421 be 259 421 filled 260 421 in 261 421 all 262 421 its 263 421 departments 264 421 by 265 421 subsequent 266 421 laborers. 267 421 As 268 421 no 269 421 better 270 421 man 271 421 advances 272 421 to 273 421 take 274 421 this 275 421 matter 276 421 in 277 421 hand, 278 421 I 279 421 hereupon 280 421 offer 281 421 my 282 421 own 283 421 poor 284 421 endeavors. 285 421 I 286 421 promise 287 421 nothing 288 421 complete; 289 421 because 290 421 any 291 421 human 292 421 thing 293 421 supposed 294 421 to 295 421 be 296 421 complete, 297 421 must 298 421 for 299 421 that 300 421 very 301 421 reason 302 421 infallibly 303 421 be 304 421 faulty. 305 421 I 306 421 shall 307 421 not 308 421 pretend 309 421 to 310 421 a 311 421 minute 312 421 anatomical 313 421 description 314 421 of 315 421 the 316 421 various 317 421 species, 318 421 or--in 319 421 this 320 421 place 321 421 at 322 421 least--to 323 421 much 324 421 of 325 421 any 326 421 description. 327 421 My 328 421 object 329 421 here 330 421 is 331 421 simply 332 421 to 333 421 project 334 421 the 335 421 draught 336 421 of 337 421 a 338 421 systematization 339 421 of 340 421 cetology. 341 421 I 342 421 am 343 421 the 344 421 architect, 345 421 not 346 421 the 347 421 builder. 348 421 But 349 421 it 350 421 is 351 421 a 352 421 ponderous 353 421 task; 354 421 no 355 421 ordinary 356 421 letter-sorter 357 421 in 358 421 the 359 421 Post-Office 360 421 is 361 421 equal 362 421 to 363 421 it. 364 421 To 365 421 grope 366 421 down 367 421 into 368 421 the 369 421 bottom 370 421 of 371 421 the 372 421 sea 373 421 after 374 421 them; 375 421 to 376 421 have 377 421 one's 378 421 hands 379 421 among 380 421 the 381 421 unspeakable 382 421 foundations, 383 421 ribs, 384 421 and 385 421 very 386 421 pelvis 387 421 of 388 421 the 389 421 world; 390 421 this 391 421 is 392 421 a 393 421 fearful 394 421 thing. 395 421 What 396 421 am 397 421 I 398 421 that 399 421 I 400 421 should 401 421 essay 402 421 to 403 421 hook 404 421 the 405 421 nose 406 421 of 407 421 this 408 421 leviathan! 409 421 The 410 421 awful 411 421 tauntings 412 421 in 413 421 Job 414 421 might 415 421 well 416 421 appal 417 421 me. 418 421 "Will 419 421 he 420 421 the 1 422 (leviathan) 3 422 make 5 422 a 7 422 covenant 9 422 with 11 422 thee? 13 422 Behold 15 422 the 17 422 hope 19 422 of 21 422 him 23 422 is 25 422 vain! 27 422 But 29 422 I 31 422 have 33 422 swam 35 422 through 37 422 libraries 39 422 and 41 422 sailed 43 422 through 45 422 oceans; 47 422 I 49 422 have 51 422 had 53 422 to 55 422 do 57 422 with 59 422 whales 61 422 with 63 422 these 65 422 visible 67 422 hands; 69 422 I 71 422 am 73 422 in 75 422 earnest; 77 422 and 79 422 I 81 422 will 83 422 try. 85 422 There 87 422 are 89 422 some 91 422 preliminaries 93 422 to 95 422 settle. 97 422 First: 99 422 The 101 422 uncertain, 103 422 unsettled 105 422 condition 107 422 of 109 422 this 111 422 science 113 422 of 115 422 Cetology 117 422 is 119 422 in 121 422 the 123 422 very 125 422 vestibule 127 422 attested 129 422 by 131 422 the 133 422 fact, 135 422 that 137 422 in 139 422 some 141 422 quarters 143 422 it 145 422 still 147 422 remains 149 422 a 151 422 moot 153 422 point 155 422 whether 157 422 a 159 422 whale 161 422 be 163 422 a 165 422 fish. 167 422 In 169 422 his 171 422 System 173 422 of 175 422 Nature, 177 422 A.D. 179 422 1776, 181 422 Linnaeus 183 422 declares, 185 422 "I 187 422 hereby 189 422 separate 191 422 the 193 422 whales 195 422 from 197 422 the 199 422 fish." 201 422 But 203 422 of 205 422 my 207 422 own 209 422 knowledge, 213 422 I 215 422 know 217 422 that 219 422 down 221 422 to 223 422 the 225 422 year 227 422 1850, 229 422 sharks 231 422 and 233 422 shad, 235 422 alewives 237 422 and 239 422 herring, 241 422 against 243 422 Linnaeus's 245 422 express 247 422 edict, 249 422 were 251 422 still 253 422 found 255 422 dividing 257 422 the 259 422 possession 261 422 of 263 422 the 265 422 same 267 422 seas 269 422 with 271 422 the 273 422 Leviathan. 275 422 The 277 422 grounds 279 422 upon 281 422 which 283 422 Linnaeus 285 422 would 287 422 fain 289 422 have 291 422 banished 293 422 the 295 422 whales 297 422 from 299 422 the 301 422 waters, 303 422 he 305 422 states 307 422 as 309 422 follows: 311 422 "On 313 422 account 315 422 of 317 422 their 319 422 warm 321 422 bilocular 323 422 heart, 325 422 their 327 422 lungs, 329 422 their 331 422 movable 333 422 eyelids, 335 422 their 337 422 hollow 339 422 ears, 341 422 penem 343 422 intrantem 345 422 feminam 347 422 mammis 349 422 lactantem," 351 422 and 353 422 finally, 355 422 "ex 357 422 lege 359 422 naturae 361 422 jure 363 422 meritoque." 365 422 I 367 422 submitted 369 422 all 371 422 this 373 422 to 375 422 my 377 422 friends 379 422 Simeon 381 422 Macey 383 422 and 385 422 Charley 387 422 Coffin, 389 422 of 391 422 Nantucket, 393 422 both 395 422 messmates 397 422 of 399 422 mine 401 422 in 403 422 a 405 422 certain 407 422 voyage, 409 422 and 411 422 they 413 422 united 415 422 in 417 422 the 419 422 opinion 421 422 that 1 423 the 2 423 reasons 4 423 set 5 423 forth 7 423 were 8 423 altogether 10 423 insufficient. 11 423 Charley 13 423 profanely 14 423 hinted 16 423 they 17 423 were 19 423 humbug. 20 423 Be 22 423 it 23 423 known 25 423 that, 26 423 waiving 28 423 all 29 423 argument, 31 423 I 32 423 take 34 423 the 35 423 good 37 423 old 38 423 fashioned 40 423 ground 41 423 that 43 423 the 44 423 whale 46 423 is 49 423 a 50 423 fish, 52 423 and 53 423 call 55 423 upon 56 423 holy 58 423 Jonah 59 423 to 61 423 back 62 423 me. 64 423 This 65 423 fundamental 67 423 thing 68 423 settled, 70 423 the 71 423 next 73 423 point 74 423 is, 76 423 in 77 423 what 79 423 internal 80 423 respect 82 423 does 83 423 the 85 423 whale 86 423 differ 88 423 from 89 423 other 91 423 fish. 92 423 Above, 95 423 Linnaeus 97 423 has 98 423 given 100 423 you 101 423 those 103 423 items. 104 423 But 106 423 in 107 423 brief, 109 423 they 110 423 are 112 423 these: 113 423 lungs 115 423 and 116 423 warm 118 423 blood; 119 423 whereas, 121 423 all 122 423 other 124 423 fish 125 423 are 127 423 lungless 128 423 and 130 423 cold 131 423 blooded. 133 423 Next: 134 423 how 136 423 shall 137 423 we 139 423 define 140 423 the 142 423 whale, 143 423 by 145 423 his 146 423 obvious 148 423 externals, 149 423 so 151 423 as 152 423 conspicuously 154 423 to 155 423 label 157 423 him 158 423 for 160 423 all 161 423 time 163 423 to 164 423 come? 166 423 To 167 423 be 169 423 short, 170 423 then, 172 423 a 173 423 whale 175 423 is 176 423 A 178 423 SPOUTING 179 423 FISH 181 423 WITH 182 423 A 184 423 HORIZONTAL 185 423 TAIL. 187 423 There 190 423 you 191 423 have 193 423 him. 194 423 However 196 423 contracted, 197 423 that 199 423 definition 200 423 is 202 423 the 203 423 result 205 423 of 206 423 expanded 208 423 meditation. 209 423 A 211 423 walrus 212 423 spouts 214 423 much 215 423 like 217 423 a 218 423 whale, 220 423 but 221 423 the 223 423 walrus 224 423 is 226 423 not 227 423 a 229 423 fish, 230 423 because 232 423 he 233 423 is 236 423 amphibious. 238 423 But 239 423 the 241 423 last 242 423 term 244 423 of 245 423 the 247 423 definition 248 423 is 250 423 still 251 423 more 253 423 cogent, 254 423 as 256 423 coupled 257 423 with 259 423 the 260 423 first. 262 423 Almost 263 423 any 265 423 one 266 423 must 268 423 have 269 423 noticed 271 423 that 272 423 all 274 423 the 275 423 fish 277 423 familiar 278 423 to 280 423 landsmen 281 423 have 283 423 not 284 423 a 286 423 flat, 287 423 but 289 423 a 290 423 vertical, 292 423 or 293 423 up-and-down 295 423 tail. 296 423 Whereas, 298 423 among 299 423 spouting 301 423 fish 302 423 the 304 423 tail, 305 423 though 307 423 it 308 423 may 310 423 be 311 423 similarly 313 423 shaped, 314 423 invariably 316 423 assumes 317 423 a 319 423 horizontal 320 423 position. 322 423 By 323 423 the 325 423 above 326 423 definition 328 423 of 331 423 what 332 423 a 334 423 whale 335 423 is, 337 423 I 338 423 do 340 423 by 341 423 no 343 423 means 344 423 exclude 346 423 from 347 423 the 349 423 leviathanic 350 423 brotherhood 352 423 any 353 423 sea 355 423 creature 356 423 hitherto 358 423 identified 359 423 with 361 423 the

any 386 423 fish 388 423 hitherto 389 423 authoritatively 391 423 regarded 392 423 as 394 423 alien.* 395 423 Hence, 397 423 all 398 423 the 400 423 smaller, 401 423 spouting, 403 423 and 404 423 horizontal 406 423 tailed 407 423 fish 409 423 must 410 423 be 412 423 included 413 423 in 415 423 this 416 423 ground-plan 418 423 of 419 423 Cetology. 421 423 Now, 422 423 then, 1 424 come 3 424 the

Macrocephalus 18 425 of 19 425 the 21 425 Long 22 425 Words. 23 425 He 24 425 is, 26 425 without 27 425 doubt, 28 425 the 29 425 largest 31 425 inhabitant 32 425 of 33 425 the 36 425 globe; 37 425 the 38 425 most 39 425 formidable 41 425 of 42 425 all 43 425 whales 44 425 to 46 425 encounter; 47 425 the 48 425 most 49 425 majestic 52 425 in 53 425 aspect; 54 425 and 56 425 lastly, 57 425 by 58 425

substance, 79 425 spermaceti, 81 425 is 82 425 obtained. 83 425 All 84 425 his 86 425 peculiarities 87 425 will, 88 425 in 89 425 many 91 425 other 92 425 places, 93 425 be 94 425 enlarged 96 425 upon. 97 425 It 98 425 is 99 425 chiefly 101 425 with 103 425 his 104 425 name 106 425 that 107 425 I 108 425 now 109 425 have 111 425 to 112 425 do. 113 425 Philologically 114 425 considered, 116 425 it 117 425 is 118 425 absurd. 121 425 Some 122 425 centuries 123 425 ago, 124 425 when 126 425 the 127 425 Sperm 128 425 whale 129 425 was 131 425 almost 132 425 wholly 133 425 unknown 134 425 in 137 425 his 138 425 own 139 425 proper 141 425 individuality, 142 425 and 143 425 when 144 425 his 146 425 oil 147 425 was 148 425 only 149 425 accidentally 151 425 obtained 152 425 from 154 425 the 156 425 stranded 157 425 fish; 158 425 in 159 425 those 161 425 days 162 425 spermaceti, 163 425 it 164 425 would 166 425 seem, 167 425 was 168 425 popularly 169 425 supposed 171 425 to 172 425 be 173 425 derived 174 425 from 176 425 a 177 425 creature 178 425 identical 179 425 with 181 425 the 182 425 one 183 425 then 184 425 known 186 425 in 188 425 England 189 425 as 191 425 the 192 425 Greenland 193 425 or 194 425 Right 196 425 Whale. 197 425 It 198 425 was 199 425 the 201 425 idea 202 425 also, 203 425 that 206 425 this 207 425 same 208 425 spermaceti 209 425 was 211 425 that 212 425 quickening 213 425 humor 214 425 of 216 425 the 217 425 Greenland 218 425 Whale 219 425 which 222 425 the 223 425 first 224 425 syllable 226 425 of 227 425 the 228 425 word 229 425 literally 231 425 expresses. 232 425 In 233 425 those 234 425 times, 236 425 also, 237 425 spermaceti 239 425 was 241 425 exceedingly 242 425 scarce, 243 425 not 244 425 being 246 425 used 247 425 for 248 425 light, 249 425 but 251 425 only 252 425 as 253 425 an 254 425 ointment 256 425 and 257 425 medicament. 258 425 It 259 425 was 261 425 only 262 425 to 263 425 be 264 425 had 266 425 from 267 425 the 268 425 druggists 269 425 as 271 425 you 273 425 nowadays 274 425 buy 276 425 an 277 425 ounce 278 425 of 279 425 rhubarb. 281 425 When, 282 425 as 283 425 I 284 425 opine, 286 425 in 287 425 the 288 425 course 291 425 of 292 425 time, 293 425 the 294 425 true 296 425 nature 297 425 of 298 425 spermaceti 299 425 became 301 425 known, 302 425 its 303 425 original 304 425 name 307 425 was 308 425 still 309 425 retained 311 425 by 312 425 the 313 425 dealers; 314 425 no 316 425 doubt 317 425 to 318 425 enhance 319 425 its 321 425 value 322 425 by 324 425 a 326 425 notion 327 425 so 328 425 strangely 329 425 significant 331 425 of 332 425 its 333 425 scarcity. 334 425 And 336 425 so 337 425 the 338 425 appellation 339 425 must 341 425 at 342 425 last 343 425 have 344 425 come 346 425 to 347 425 be 348 425 bestowed 349 425 upon 351 425 the 352 425 whale 353 425 from 354 425 which 356 425 this 358 425 spermaceti 359 425 was 361 425 really 362 425 derived. 363 425 BOOK 364 425 I. 366 425 (FOLIO),

386 425 being 387 425 the 388 425 one 389 425 first 392 425 regularly 393 425 hunted 394 425 by 396 425 man. 397 425 It 398 425 yields 399 425 the 401 425 article 402 425 commonly 403 425 known 404

41 426 The 43 426 Whale; 47 426 the 49 426 Greenland 53 426 Whale; 55 426 the 59 426 Black 61 426 Whale; 65 426 the 67 426 Great 73 426 Whale; 77 426 the 79 426 True 83 426 Whale; 85 426 the 89 426 Right 91 426 Whale. 95 426 There 97 426 is 101 426 a 103 426 deal 107 426 of 109 426 obscurity 113 426 concerning 115 426 the 119 426 identity 121 426 of 125 426 the 127 426 species 131 426 thus 133 426 multitudinously 137 426 baptised. 139 426 What 143 426 then 145 426 is 149 426 the 151 426 whale, 155 426 which 157 426 I 161 426 include 163 426 in 167 426 the 169 426 second 173 426 species 175 426 of 179 426 my 181 426 Folios? 185 426 It 187 426 is 191 426 the 193 426 Great 197 426 Mysticetus 199 426 of 203 426 the 205 426 English 209 426 naturalists; 211 426 the 215 426 Greenland 217 426

426 Walfish 263 426 of 265 426 the 269 426 Swedes. 271 426 It 275 426 is 277 426 the 281 426 whale 283 426 which 287 426 for 289 426 more 293 426 than 295 426 two 299 426 centuries 301 426 past 305 426 has 307 426 been 311 426 hunted 313 426 by 317 426 the 319 426 Dutch 323 426 and 325 426 English 329 426 in 331 426 the 335 426 Arctic 337 426 seas; 341 426 it 343 426 is 347 426 the 349 426 whale 353 426 which 359 426 the 361 426 American 365 426 fishermen 367 426 have 371 426 long 373 426 pursued 377 426 in 379 426 the 383 426 Indian 385 426 ocean, 389 426 on 391 426 the 395 426 Brazil 397

ground 64 427 a 65 427 radical 66 427 distinction. 67 427 It 68 427 is 69 427 by 71 427 endless 72 427 subdivisions 73 427 based 74 427 upon 75 427 the 76 427 most 78 427 inconclusive 79 427 differences, 80 427 that 81 427 some 82 427 departments 83 427 of 85 427 natural 86 427 history 87 427 become 88 427 so 89 427 repellingly 90 427 intricate. 92 427 The 93 427 right 94 427 whale 95 427 will 96 427 be 97 427 elsewhere 99 427 treated 100 427 of 101 427 at 102 427 some 103 427 length, 104 427 with 106 427 reference 107 427 to 108 427 elucidating 109 427 the 110 427 sperm 111 427 whale.

427 and 180 427 in 181 427 his 184 427 baleen, 185 427 the 186 427 Fin-back 187 427 resembles 188 427 the 190 427 right 191 427 whale, 192 427 but 193 427 is 194 427 of 195 427 a 197 427 less 198 427 portly 199 427 girth, 200 427 and 201 427 a 202 427 lighter 204 427 colour, 205 427 approaching 206 427 to 207 427 olive. 208 427 His 209 427 great 211 427 lips 212 427 present 213 427 a 214 427 cable-like 215 427 aspect, 216 427 formed 218 427 by 219 427 the 220 427 intertwisting, 221 427 slanting 222 427 folds 223 427 of 225 427 large 226 427 wrinkles. 227 427 His 228 427 grand 229 427 distinguishing 230 427 feature, 232 427 the 233 427 fin, 234 427 from 235 427 which 236 427 he 237 427 derives 239 427 his 240 427 name, 241 427 is 242 427 often 243 427 a 246 427 conspicuous 247 427 object. 248 427 This 249 427 fin 250 427 is 251 427 some 253 427 three 254 427 or 255 427 four 256 427 feet 257 427 long, 258 427 growing 260 427 vertically 261 427 from 262 427 the 263 427 hinder 264 427 part 265 427 of 267 427 the 268 427 back, 269 427 of 270 427 an 271 427 angular 272 427 shape, 274 427 and 275 427 with 276 427 a 277 427 very 278 427 sharp 279 427 pointed 281 427 end. 282 427 Even 283 427 if 284 427 not 285 427 the 286 427 slightest 288 427 other 289 427 part 290 427 of 291 427 the 292 427 creature 293 427 be 295 427 visible, 296 427 this 297 427 isolated 298 427 fin 299 427 will, 300 427 at 302 427 times, 303 427 be 304 427 seen 306 427 plainly 307 427 projecting 309 427 from 310 427 the 311 427 surface. 312 427 When 313 427 the 314 427 sea 316 427 is 317 427 moderately 318 427 calm, 319 427 and 320 427 slightly 321 427 marked 323 427 with 324 427 spherical 325 427 ripples, 326 427 and 327 427 this 328 427 gnomon-like 330 427 fin 331 427 stands 332 427 up 333 427 and 334 427 casts 335 427 shadows 337 427 upon 338 427 the 339 427 wrinkled 340 427 surface, 341 427 it 342 427 may 344 427 well 345 427 be 346 427 supposed 347 427 that 348 427 the 349 427 watery 351 427 circle 352 427 surrounding 353 427 it 354 427 somewhat 355 427 resembles 356 427 a 358 427 dial, 359 427 with 360 427 its 361 427 style 362 427 and 363 427 wavy 365 427 hour-lines 367 427 graved 368 427 on 369 427 it. 370 427 On 372 427 that 373 427 Ahaz-dial 374 427 the 375 427 shadow 376 427 often 377 427 goes 379 427 back. 380 427 The 381 427 Fin-Back 382 427 is 383 427 not 384 427 gregarious. 386 427 He 387 427 seems 388 427 a 389 427 whale-hater, 390 427 as 391 427 some 393 427 men 394 427 are 395 427 man-haters. 396 427 Very 397 427 shy; 398 427 always 400 427 going 401 427 solitary; 402 427 unexpectedly 403 427 rising 404 427 to 405 427 the 407 427 surface 408 427 in 409 427 the 410 427 remotest 411 427 and 412 427 most 414 427 sullen 415 427 waters; 416 427 his 417 427 straight 418 427 and 419 427 single 421 427 lofty 422 427 jet 423 427 rising 424 427 like 425 427 a 426 427 tall 1 428 misanthropic 3 428 spear 5 428 upon 7 428 a 9 428 barren 11 428 plain; 13 428 gifted 15 428 with 17 428 such 19 428 wondrous 21 428 power 23 428 and 25 428 velocity 27 428 in 29 428 swimming, 31 428 as 33 428 to 35 428 defy 37 428 all 39 428 present 41 428 pursuit 43 428 from 45 428 man; 47 428 this 49 428 leviathan 51 428 seems 53 428 the 55 428 banished 57 428 and 59 428 unconquerable 61 428 Cain 63 428 of 65 428 his 67 428 race, 69 428 bearing 71 428 for 73 428 his 75 428 mark 77 428 that 79 428 style 81 428 upon 83 428 his 85 428 back. 87 428 From 89 428 having 91 428 the 93 428 baleen 95 428 in 97 428 his 99 428 mouth, 101 428 the 103 428 Fin-Back 105 428 is 109 428 sometimes 111 428 included 113 428 with 115 428 the 117 428 right 119 428 whale, 121 428 among 123 428 a 125 428 theoretic 127 428 species 129 428 denominated 131 428 WHALEBONE 133 428 WHALES, 135 428 that 137 428 is, 139 428 whales 141 428 with 143 428 baleen. 145 428 Of 147 428 these 149 428 so 151 428 called 153 428 Whalebone 155 428 whales, 157 428 there 159 428 would 161 428 seem 163 428 to 165 428 be 167 428 several 169 428 varieties, 171 428 most 173 428 of 175 428 which, 177 428 however, 179 428 are 181 428 little 183 428 known. 185 428 Broad-nosed 187 428 whales 189 428 and 191 428 beaked 193 428 whales; 195 428 pike-headed 197 428 whales; 199 428 bunched 201 428 whales; 203 428 under-jawed 205 428 whales 207 428 and 209 428 rostrated 211 428 whales, 213 428 are 215 428 the 217 428 fishermen's 219 428 names 221 428 for 223 428 a 225 428 few 227 428 sorts. 229 428 In 231 428 connection 233 428 with 235 428 this 237 428 appellative 239 428 of 241 428 "Whalebone 243 428 whales," 245 428 it 247 428 is 249 428 of 251 428 great 253 428 importance 255 428 to 257 428 mention, 259 428 that 261 428 however 263 428 such 265 428 a 267 428 nomenclature 269 428 may 271 428 be 273 428 convenient 275 428 in 277 428 facilitating 279 428 allusions 281 428 to 283 428 some 285 428 kind 287 428 of 289 428 whales, 291 428 yet 293 428 it 295 428 is 297 428 in 299 428 vain 301 428 to 303 428 attempt 305 428 a 307 428 clear 309 428 classification 311 428 of 313 428 the 315 428 Leviathan, 317 428 founded 319 428 upon 323 428 either 325 428 his 327 428 baleen, 329 428 or 331 428 hump, 333 428 or 335 428 fin, 337 428 or 339 428 teeth; 341 428 notwithstanding 343 428 that 345 428 those 347 428 marked 349 428 parts 351 428 or 353 428 features 355 428 very 357 428 obviously 359 428 seem 361 428 better 363 428 adapted 365 428 to 367 428 afford 369 428 the 371 428 basis 373 428 for 375 428 a 377 428 regular 379 428 system 381 428 of 383 428 Cetology 385 428 than 387 428 any 389 428 other 391 428 detached 393 428 bodily 395 428 distinctions, 397 428 which 399 428 the 401 428 whale, 403 428 in 405 428 his 407 428 kinds, 409 428 presents. 411 428 How 413 428 then? 415 428 The 417 428 baleen, 419 428 hump, 421 428 back-fin, 423 428 and 425 428 teeth; 427 428 these 1 429 are 2 429 things 4 429 whose 5 429 peculiarities 7 429 are 8 429 indiscriminately 10 429 dispersed 14 429 among 16 429 all 17 429 sorts 19 429 of 20 429 whales, 23 429 without 25 429 any 28 429 regard 29 429 to 31 429 what 32 429 may 34 429 be 35 429 the 37 429 nature 38 429 of 40 429 their 41 429 structure 43 429 in 46 429 other 47 429 and 49 429 more 50 429 essential 53 429 particulars. 56 429 Thus, 58 429 the 59 429 sperm 61 429 whale 62 429 and 64 429 the 67 429 humpbacked 68 429 whale, 70 429 each 71 429 has 73 429 a 74 429 hump; 76 429 but 79 429 there 80 429 the 82 429 similitude 83 429 ceases. 85 429 Then, 86 429 this 89 429 same 92 429 humpbacked 94 429 whale 95 429 and 97 429 the 98 429 Greenland 100 429 whale, 101 429 each 103 429 of 106 429 these 107 429 has 109 429 baleen; 112 429 but 113 429 there 115 429 again 116 429 the 118 429 similitude 119 429 ceases. 122 429 And 124 429 it 125 429 is 127 429 just 128 429 the 131 429 same 133 429 with 134 429 the 136 429 other 137 429 parts 139 429 above 140 429 mentioned. 142 429 In 145 429 various 146 429 sorts 148 429 of 149 429 whales, 151 429 they 152 429 form 155 429 such 157 429 irregular 158 429 combinations; 160 429 or, 161 429 in 163 429 the 164 429 case 166 429 of 167 429 any 170 429 one 172 429 of 173 429 them 175 429 detached, 178 429 such 179 429 an 181 429 irregular 184 429 isolation; 185 429 as 188 429 utterly 190 429 to 191 429 defy 193 429 all 194 429 general 196 429 methodization 197 429 formed 199 429 upon 200 429 such 202 429 a 203 429 basis. 205 429 On 206 429 this 211 429 rock 212 429 every 214 429 one 215 429 of 217 429 the 218 429 whale-naturalists 223 429 has 224 429 split. 226 429 But 227 429 it 229 429 may 230 429 possibly 232 429 be 233 429 conceived 235 429 that, 236 429 in 238 429 the 239 429 internal 241 429 parts 244 429 of 245 429 the 248 429 whale, 250 429 in 251 429 his 254 429 anatomy--there, 256 429 at 257 429 least, 259 429 we 262 429 shall 263 429 be 265 429 able 266 429 to 268 429 hit 269 429 the 271 429 right 272 429 classification. 274 429 Nay; 277 429 what 278 429 thing, 280 429 for 281 429 example, 283 429 is 284 429 there 287 429 in 289 429 the 290 429 Greenland 292 429 whale's 293 429 anatomy 295 429 more 296 429 striking 298 429 than 301 429 his 302 429 baleen? 304 429 Yet 305 429 we 307 429 have 310 429 seen 311 429 that 313 429 by 314 429 his 316 429 baleen 317 429 it 320 429 is 322 429 impossible 323 429 correctly 326 429 to 328 429 classify 329 429 the 331 429 Greenland 332 429 whale. 334 429 And 335 429 if 337 429 you 340 429 descend 343 429 into 344 429 the 346 429 bowels 347 429 of 349 429 the 350 429 various 353 429 leviathans, 355 429 why 356 429 there 358 429 you 359 429 will 361 429 not 362 429 find 365 429 distinctions 367 429 a 368 429 fiftieth 370 429 part 371 429 as 373 429 available 376 429 to 379 429 the 380 429 systematizer 382 429 as 383 429 those 386 429 external 388 429 ones 389 429 already 391 429 enumerated. 392 429 What 394 429 then 395 429 remains? 397 429 nothing 398 429 but 400 429 to 401 429 take 404 429 hold 406 429 of 409 429 the 410 429 whales 412 429 bodily, 413 429 in 415 429 their 419 429 entire 421 429 liberal 422 429 volume, 424 429 and 425 429 boldly 427 429 sort 428 429 them 1 430 that 3 430 way. 7 430 And 9 430 this 11 430 is 13 430 the 17 430 Bibliographical 19 430 system 21 430 here 23 430 adopted; 27 430 and 29 430 it 31 430 is 33 430 the 37 430 only 39 430 one 41 430 that 47 430 can 49 430 possibly 51 430 succeed, 53 430 for 57 430 it 59 430 alone 61 430 is 63 430 practicable. 67 430 To 69 430 proceed. 71 430 BOOK 73 430 I. 77 430 (FOLIO) 79 430 CHAPTER 81 430 IV. 83 430 (HUMP-BACK).--This 87 430 whale 89 430 is 91 430 often 93 430 seen 97 430 on 99 430 the 101 430 northern 103 430 American 107 430 coast. 109 430 He 111 430 has 113 430 been 117 430 frequently 119 430 captured 121 430 there, 123 430 and 127 430 towed 131 430 into 133 430 harbor. 137 430 He 139 430 has 141 430 a 143 430 great 147 430 pack 149 430 on 151 430 him 153 430 like 157 430 a 159 430 peddler; 161 430 or 163 430 you 167 430 might 169 430 call 171 430 him 173 430 the 177 430 Elephant 179 430 and 181 430 Castle 183 430 whale. 187 430 At 189 430 any 191 430 rate, 193 430 the 197 430 popular 199 430 name 201 430 for 203 430 him 207 430 does 209 430 not 211 430 sufficiently 213 430 distinguish 217 430 him, 219 430 since 221 430 the 223 430 sperm 227 430 whale 229 430 also 231 430 has 233 430 a 237 430 hump 239 430 though 241 430 a 243 430 smaller 247 430 one. 249 430 His 251 430 oil 253 430 is 257 430 not 259 430 very 261 430 valuable. 263 430 He 267 430 has 269 430 baleen. 271 430 He 273 430 is 277 430 the 279 430 most 281 430 gamesome 283 430 and 287 430 light-hearted 289 430 of 291 430 all 293 430 the 297 430 whales, 299 430 making 303 430 more 307 430 gay 309 430 foam 311 430 and 313 430 white 317 430 water 319 430 generally 321 430 than 323 430 any 327 430 other 329 430 of 331 430 them. 333 430 BOOK 337 430 I. 339 430 (FOLIO), 341 430 CHAPTER 343 430 V. 347 430 (RAZOR-BACK).--Of 349 430 this 351 430 whale 353 430 little 357 430 is 359 430 known 361 430 but 363 430 his 367 430 name. 369 430 I 371 430 have 373 430 seen 377 430 him 379 430 at 381 430 a 383 430 distance 389 430 off 391 430 Cape 393 430 Horn. 397 430 Of 399 430 a 401 430 retiring 403 430 nature, 407 430 he 409 430 eludes 411 430 both 413 430 hunters 417 430 and 419 430 philosophers. 421 430 Though 423 430 no 427 430 coward, 429 430 he 1 431 has 2 431 never 3 431 yet 4 431 shown 5 431 any 6 431 part 7 431 of 8 431 him 9 431 but 10 431 his 11 431 back, 12 431 which 13 431 rises 14 431 in 15 431 a 16 431 long 17 431 sharp 18 431 ridge. 19 431 Let 20 431 him 21 431 go. 22 431 I 23 431 know 24 431 little 25 431 more 26 431 of 27 431 him, 28 431 nor 29 431 does 30 431 anybody 31 431 else. 32 431 BOOK 33 431 I. 34 431 (FOLIO), 35 431 CHAPTER 36 431 VI. 37 431 (SULPHUR-BOTTOM).--Another 38 431 retiring 39 431 gentleman, 40 431 with 41 431 a 42 431 brimstone 43 431 belly, 44 431 doubtless 45 431 got 46 431 by 47 431 scraping 48 431 along 49 431 the 50 431 Tartarian 51 431 tiles 52 431 in 53 431 some 54 431 of 55 431 his 56 431 profounder 57 431 divings. 58 431 He 59 431 is 60 431 seldom 61 431 seen; 62 431 at 63 431 least 64 431 I 65 431 have 66 431 never 67 431 seen 68 431 him 69 431 except 70 431 in 71 431 the 72 431 remoter 73 431 southern 74 431 seas, 75 431 and 76 431 then 77 431 always 78 431 at 79 431 too 80 431 great 81 431 a 82 431 distance 83 431 to 84 431 study 85 431 his 86 431 countenance. 87 431 He 88 431 is 89 431 never 90 431 chased; 91 431 he 92 431 would 93 431 run 94 431 away 95 431 with 96 431 rope-walks 97 431 of 98 431 line. 99 431 Prodigies 100 431 are 101 431 told 102 431 of 103 431 him. 104 431 Adieu, 105 431 Sulphur 106 431 Bottom! 107 431 I 108 431 can 109 431 say 110 431 nothing 111 431 more 112 431 that 113 431 is 114 431 true 115 431 of 116 431 ye, 117 431 nor 118 431 can 119 431 the 120 431 oldest 121 431 Nantucketer. 122 431 Thus 123 431 ends 124 431 BOOK 125 431 I. 126 431 (FOLIO), 127 431 and 128 431 now 129 431 begins 130 431 BOOK 131 431 II. 132 431 (OCTAVO). 133 431 OCTAVOES.*--These 134 431 embrace 135 431 the 136 431 whales 137 431 of 138 431 middling 139 431 magnitude, 140 431 among 141 431 which 142 431 present 143 431 may 144 431 be 145 431 numbered:--I., 146 431 the 147 431 GRAMPUS; 148 431 II., 149 431 the 150 431 BLACK 151 431 FISH; 152 431 III., 153 431 the 154 431 NARWHALE; 155 431 IV., 156 431 the 157 431 THRASHER; 158 431 V., 159 431 the 160 431 KILLER. 161 431 *Why 162 431 this 163 431 book 164 431 of 165 431 whales 166 431 is 167 431 not 168 431 denominated 169 431 the 170 431 Quarto 171 431 is 172 431 very 173 431 plain. 174 431 Because, 175 431 while 176 431 the 177 431 whales 178 431 of 179 431 this 180 431 order, 181 431 though 182 431 smaller 183 431 than 184 431 those 185 431 of 186 431 the 187 431 former 188 431 order, 189 431 nevertheless 190 431 retain 191 431 a 192 431 proportionate 193 431 likeness 194 431 to 195 431 them 196 431 in 197 431 figure, 198 431 yet 199 431 the 200 431 bookbinder's 201 431 Quarto 202 431 volume 203 431 in 204 431 its 205 431 dimensioned 206 431 form 207 431 does 208 431 not 209 431 preserve 210 431 the 211 431 shape 212 431 of 213 431 the 214 431 Folio 215 431 volume, 216 431 but 217 431 the 218 431 Octavo 219 431 volume 220 431 does. 221 431 BOOK 222 431 II. 223 431 (OCTAVO), 224 431 CHAPTER 225 431 I. 226 431 (GRAMPUS).--Though 227 431 this 228 431 fish, 229 431 whose 230 431 loud 231 431 sonorous 232 431 breathing, 233 431 or 234 431 rather 235 431 blowing, 236 431 has 237 431 furnished 238 431 a 239 431 proverb 240 431 to 241 431 landsmen, 242 431 is 243 431 so 244 431 well 245 431 known 246 431 a 247 431 denizen 248 431 of 249 431 the 250 431 deep, 251 431 yet 252 431 is 253 431 he 254 431 not 255 431 popularly 256 431 classed 257 431 among 258 431 whales. 259 431 But 260 431 possessing 261 431 all 262 431 the 263 431 grand 264 431 distinctive 265 431 features 266 431 of 267 431 the 268 431 leviathan, 269 431 most 270 431 naturalists 271 431 have 272 431 recognised 273 431 him 274 431 for 275 431 one. 276 431 He 277 431 is 278 431 of 279 431 moderate 280 431 octavo 281 431 size, 282 431 varying 283 431 from 284 431 fifteen 285 431 to 286 431 twenty-five 287 431 feet 288 431 in 289 431 length, 290 431 and 291 431 of 292 431 corresponding 293 431 dimensions 294 431 round 295 431 the 296 431 waist. 297 431 He 298 431 swims 299 431 in 300 431 herds; 301 431 he 302 431 is 303 431 never 304 431 regularly 305 431 hunted, 306 431 though 307 431 his 308 431 oil 309 431 is 310 431 considerable 311 431 in 312 431 quantity, 313 431 and 314 431 pretty 315 431 good 316 431 for 317 431 light. 318 431 By 319 431 some 320 431 fishermen 321 431 his 322 431 approach 323 431 is 324 431 regarded 325 431 as 326 431 premonitory 327 431 of 328 431 the 329 431 advance 330 431 of 331 431 the 332 431 great 333 431 sperm 334 431 whale. 335 431 BOOK 336 431 II. 337 431 (OCTAVO), 338 431 CHAPTER 339 431 II. 340 431 (BLACK 341 431 FISH).--I 342 431 give 343 431 the 344 431 popular 345 431 fishermen's 346 431 names 347 431 for 348 431 all 349 431 these 350 431 fish, 351 431 for 352 431 generally 353 431 they 354 431 are 355 431 the 356 431 best. 357 431 Where 358 431 any 359 431 name 360 431 happens 361 431 to 362 431 be 363 431 vague 364 431 or 365 431 inexpressive, 366 431 I 367 431 shall 368 431 say 369 431 so, 370 431 and 371 431 suggest 372 431 another. 373 431 I 374 431 do 375 431 so 376 431 now, 377 431 touching 378 431 the 379 431 Black 380 431 Fish, 381 431 so-called, 382 431 because 383 431 blackness 384 431 is 385 431 the 386 431 rule 387 431 among 388 431 almost 389 431 all 390 431 whales. 391 431 So, 392 431 call 393 431 him 394 431 the 395 431 Hyena 396 431 Whale, 397 431 if 398 431 you 399 431 please. 400 431 His 401 431 voracity 402 431 is 403 431 well 404 431 known, 405 431 and 406 431 from 407 431 the 408 431 circumstance 409 431 that 410 431 the 411 431 inner 412 431 angles 413 431 of 414 431 his 415 431 lips 416 431 are 417 431 curved 418 431 upwards, 419 431 he 420 431 carries 421 431 an 422 431 everlasting 423 431 Mephistophelean 424 431 grin 425 431 on 426 431 his 427 431 face. 428 431 This 429 431 whale 430 431 averages 1 432 some 5 432 sixteen 7 432 or 11 432 eighteen 13 432 feet 17 432 in 19 432 length. 23 432 He 25 432 is 29 432 found 31 432 in 35 432 almost 37 432 all 41 432 latitudes. 43 432 He 47 432 has 49 432 a 53 432 peculiar 55 432 way 59 432 of 61 432 showing 65 432 his 67 432 dorsal 71 432 hooked 73 432 fin 77 432 in 79 432 swimming, 83 432 which 85 432 looks 89 432 something 91 432 like 95 432 a 97 432 Roman 101 432 nose. 103 432 When 107 432 not 109 432 more 113 432 profitably 115 432 employed, 119 432 the 121 432 sperm 125 432 whale 127 432 hunters 131 432 sometimes 133 432 capture 137 432 the 139 432 Hyena 143 432 whale, 145 432 to 149 432 keep 151 432 up 155 432 the 157 432 supply 161 432 of 163 432 cheap 167 432 oil 169 432 for 173 432 domestic 175 432 employment--as 179 432 some 181 432 frugal 185 432 housekeepers, 187 432 in 191 432 the 193 432 absence 197 432 of 199 432 company, 203 432 and 205 432 quite 209 432 alone 211 432 by 215 432 themselves, 217 432 burn 221 432 unsavory 223 432 tallow 227 432 instead 229 432 of 233 432 odorous 235 432 wax. 239 432 Though 241 432 their 245 432 blubber 247 432 is 251 432 very 253 432 thin, 257 432 some 259 432 of 263 432 these 265 432 whales 269 432 will 271 432 yield 275 432 you 277 432 upwards 281 432 of 283 432 thirty 287 432 gallons 289 432 of 293 432 oil. 295 432 BOOK 299 432 II. 301 432 (OCTAVO), 305 432 CHAPTER 307 432 III. 311 432 (NARWHALE), 313 432 that 317 432 is, 319 432 NOSTRIL 323 432 WHALE.--Another 325 432 instance 329 432 of 331 432 a 335 432 curiously 337 432 named 341 432 whale, 343 432 so 347 432 named 349 432 I 353 432 suppose 355 432 from 359 432 his 361 432 peculiar 365 432 horn 367 432 being 371 432 originally 373 432 mistaken 377 432 for 379 432 a 383 432 peaked 385 432 nose. 389 432 The 391 432 creature 395 432 is 397 432 some 401 432 sixteen 403 432 feet 407 432 in 409 432 length, 413 432 while 415 432 its 419 432 horn 421 432 averages 425 432 five 427 432 feet, 431 432 though 1 433 some 2 433 exceed 3 433 ten, 4 433 and 5 433 even 6 433 attain 7 433 to 8 433 fifteen 9 433 feet. 10 433 Strictly 11 433 speaking, 12 433 this 13 433 horn 14 433 is 15 433 but 16 433 a 17 433 lengthened 18 433 tusk, 19 433 growing 20 433 out 21 433 from 22 433 the 23 433 jaw 24 433 in 25 433 a 26 433 line 27 433 a 28 433 little 29 433 depressed 30 433 from 31 433 the 32 433 horizontal. 33 433 But 34 433 it 35 433 is 36 433 only 37 433 found 38 433 on 39 433 the 40 433 sinister 41 433 side, 42 433 which 43 433 has 44 433 an 45 433 ill 46 433 effect, 47 433 giving 48 433 its 49 433 owner 50 433 something 51 433 analogous 52 433 to 53 433 the 54 433 aspect 55 433 of 56 433 a 57 433 clumsy 58 433 left-handed 59 433 man. 60 433 What 61 433 precise 62 433 purpose 63 433 this 64 433 ivory 65 433 horn 66 433 or 67 433 lance 68 433 answers, 69 433 it 70 433 would 71 433 be 72 433 hard 73 433 to 74 433 say. 75 433 It 76 433 does 77 433 not 78 433 seem 79 433 to 80 433 be 81 433 used 82 433 like 83 433 the 84 433 blade 85 433 of 86 433 the 87 433 sword-fish 88 433 and 89 433 bill-fish; 90 433 though 91 433 some 92 433 sailors 93 433 tell 94 433 me 95 433 that 96 433 the 97 433 Narwhale 98 433 employs 99 433 it 100 433 for 101 433 a 102 433 rake 103 433 in 104 433 turning 105 433 over 106 433 the 107 433 bottom 108 433 of 109 433 the 110 433 sea 111 433 for 112 433 food. 113 433 Charley 114 433 Coffin 115 433 said 116 433 it 117 433 was 118 433 used 119 433 for 120 433 an 121 433 ice-piercer; 122 433 for 123 433 the 124 433 Narwhale, 125 433 rising 126 433 to 127 433 the 128 433 surface 129 433 of 130 433 the 131 433 Polar 132 433 Sea, 133 433 and 134 433 finding 135 433 it 136 433 sheeted 137 433 with 138 433 ice, 139 433 thrusts 140 433 his 141 433 horn 142 433 up, 143 433 and 144 433 so 145 433 breaks 146 433 through. 147 433 But 148 433 you 149 433 cannot 150 433 prove 151 433 either 152 433 of 153 433 these 154 433 surmises 155 433 to 156 433 be 157 433 correct. 158 433 My 159 433 own 160 433 opinion 161 433 is, 162 433 that 163 433 however 164 433 this 165 433 one-sided 166 433 horn 167 433 may 168 433 really 169 433 be 170 433 used 171 433 by 172 433 the 173 433 Narwhale--however 174 433 that 175 433 may 176 433 be--it 177 433 would 178 433 certainly 179 433 be 180 433 very 181 433 convenient 182 433 to 183 433 him 184 433 for 185 433 a 186 433 folder 187 433 in 188 433 reading 189 433 pamphlets. 190 433 The 191 433 Narwhale 192 433 I 193 433 have 194 433 heard 195 433 called 196 433 the 197 433 Tusked 198 433 whale, 199 433 the 200 433 Horned 201 433 whale, 202 433 and 203 433 the 204 433 Unicorn 205 433 whale. 206 433 He 207 433 is 208 433 certainly 209 433 a 210 433 curious 211 433 example 212 433 of 213 433 the 214 433 Unicornism 215 433 to 216 433 be 217 433 found 218 433 in 219 433 almost 220 433 every 221 433 kingdom 222 433 of 223 433 animated 224 433 nature. 225 433 From 226 433 certain 227 433 cloistered 228 433 old 229 433 authors 230 433 I 231 433 have 232 433 gathered 233 433 that 234 433 this 235 433 same 236 433 sea-unicorn's 237 433 horn 238 433 was 239 433 in 240 433 ancient 241 433 days 242 433 regarded 243 433 as 244 433 the 245 433 great 246 433 antidote 247 433 against 248 433 poison, 249 433 and 250 433 as 251 433 such, 252 433 preparations 253 433 of 254 433 it 255 433 brought 256 433 immense 257 433 prices. 258 433 It 259 433 was 260 433 also 261 433 distilled 262 433 to 263 433 a 264 433 volatile 265 433 salts 266 433 for 267 433 fainting 268 433 ladies, 269 433 the 270 433 same 271 433 way 272 433 that 273 433 the 274 433 horns 275 433 of 276 433 the 277 433 male 278 433 deer 279 433 are 280 433 manufactured 281 433 into 282 433 hartshorn. 283 433 Originally 284 433 it 285 433 was 286 433 in 287 433 itself 288 433 accounted 289 433 an 290 433 object 291 433 of 292 433 great 293 433 curiosity. 294 433 Black 295 433 Letter 296 433 tells 297 433 me 298 433 that 299 433 Sir 300 433 Martin 301 433 Frobisher 302 433 on 303 433 his 304 433 return 305 433 from 306 433 that 307 433 voyage, 308 433 when 309 433 Queen 310 433 Bess 311 433 did 312 433 gallantly 313 433 wave 314 433 her 315 433 jewelled 316 433 hand 317 433 to 318 433 him 319 433 from 320 433 a 321 433 window 322 433 of 323 433 Greenwich 324 433 Palace, 325 433 as 326 433 his 327 433 bold 328 433 ship 329 433 sailed 330 433 down 331 433 the 332 433 Thames; 333 433 "when 334 433 Sir 335 433 Martin 336 433 returned 337 433 from 338 433 that 339 433 voyage," 340 433 saith 341 433 Black 342 433 Letter, 343 433 "on 344 433 bended 345 433 knees 346 433 he 347 433

433 period 363 433 after 364 433 hung 365 433 in 366 433 the 367 433 castle 368 433 at 369 433 Windsor." 370 433 An 371 433 Irish 372 433 author 373 433 avers 374 433 that 375 433 the 376 433 Earl 377 433 of 378 433 Leicester, 379 433 on 380 433 bended 381 433 knees, 382 433 did 383 433 likewise 384 433 present 385 433 to 386 433 her 387 433 highness 388 433 another 389 433 horn, 390 433 pertaining 391 433 to 392 433 a 393 433 land 394 433 beast 395 433 of 396 433 the 397 433 unicorn 398 433 nature. 399 433 The 400 433 Narwhale 401 433 has 402 433 a 403 433 very 404 433 picturesque, 405 433 leopard-like 406 433 look, 407 433 being 408 433 of 409 433 a 410 433 milk-white 411 433 ground 412 433 colour, 413 433 dotted 414 433 with 415 433 round 416 433 and 417 433 oblong 418 433 spots 419 433 of 420 433 black. 421 433 His 422 433 oil 423 433 is 424 433 very 425 433 superior, 426 433 clear 427 433 and 428 433 fine; 429 433 but 430 433 there 431 433 is 432 433 little 1 434 of 3 434 it, 5 434 and 9 434 he 11 434 is 13 434 seldom 15 434 hunted. 17 434 He 19 434 is 23 434 mostly 25 434 found 27 434 in 29 434 the 33 434 circumpolar 37 434 seas. 39 434 BOOK 41 434 II. 43 434 (OCTAVO), 45 434 CHAPTER 47 434 IV. 51 434 (KILLER).--Of 53 434 this 55 434 whale 57 434 little 59 434 is 61 434 precisely 65 434 known 67 434 to 69 434 the 71 434 Nantucketer, 73 434 and 75 434 nothing 79 434 at 81 434 all 83 434 to 85 434 the 87 434 professed 89 434 naturalist. 95 434 From 97 434 what 99 434 I 101 434 have 103 434 seen 107 434 of 109 434 him 111 434 at 113 434 a 115 434 distance, 117 434 I 121 434 should 123 434 say 125 434 that 127 434 he 129 434 was 131 434 about 135 434 the 137 434 bigness 139 434 of 141 434 a 143 434 grampus. 145 434 He 149 434 is 151 434 very 153 434 savage--a 157 434 sort 159 434 of 163 434 Feegee 165 434 fish. 167 434 He 169 434 sometimes 171 434 takes 173 434 the 177 434 great 179 434 Folio 181 434 whales 183 434 by 185 434 the 187 434 lip, 191 434 and 193 434 hangs 195 434 there 197 434 like 199 434 a 201 434 leech, 205 434 till 207 434 the 209 434 mighty 211 434 brute 213 434 is 215 434 worried 219 434 to 221 434 death. 223 434 The 225 434 Killer 227 434 is 229 434 never 233 434 hunted. 235 434 I 237 434 never 239 434 heard 241 434 what 243 434 sort 247 434 of 249 434 oil 251 434 he 253 434 has. 255 434 Exception 257 434 might 261 434 be 263 434 taken 265 434 to 267 434 the 269 434 name 271 434 bestowed 275 434 upon 277 434 this 281 434 whale, 283 434 on 285 434 the 289 434 ground 291 434 of 293 434 its 295 434 indistinctness. 297 434 For 299 434 we 303 434 are 305 434 all 307 434 killers, 309 434 on 311 434 land 313 434 and 317 434 on 319 434 sea; 321 434 Bonapartes 323 434 and 325 434 Sharks 327 434 included. 331 434 BOOK 333 434 II. 335 434 (OCTAVO), 337 434 CHAPTER 339 434 V. 345 434 (THRASHER).--This 347 434 gentleman 349 434 is 351 434 famous 353 434 for 355 434 his 359 434 tail, 361 434 which 363 434 he 365 434 uses 367 434 for 369 434 a 373 434 ferule 375 434 in 377 434 thrashing 379 434 his 381 434 foes. 383 434 He 387 434 mounts 389 434 the 391 434 Folio 393 434 whale's 395 434 back, 397 434 and 401 434 as 405 434 he 407 434 swims, 409 434 he 411 434 works 415 434 his 417 434 passage 419 434 by 421 434 flogging 423 434 him; 425 434 as 429 434 some 431 434 schoolmasters 433 434 get 1 435 along 2 435 in 4 435 the 7 435 world 8 435 by 11 435 a 13 435 similar 14 435 process. 16 435 Still 17 435 less 19 435 is 22 435 known 23 435 of 26 435 the 28 435 Thrasher 31 435 than 32 435 of 34 435 the 37 435 Killer. 38 435 Both 41 435 are 43 435 outlaws, 44 435 even 46 435 in 47 435 the 49 435 lawless 52 435 seas. 53 435 Thus 56 435 ends 59 435 BOOK 61 435 II. 62 435 (OCTAVO), 64 435 and 67 435 begins 68 435 BOOK 71 435 III.

435 the 127 435 subject, 128 435 it 131 435 may 133 435 possibly 134 435 seem 136 435 strange, 137 435 that 139 435 fishes 142 435 not 143 435 commonly 146 435 exceeding 148 435 four 149 435 or 151 435 five 152 435 feet 154 435 should 157 435 be 158 435 marshalled 161 435 among 163 435 WHALES--a 164 435 word, 166 435 which, 167 435 in 169 435 the 172 435 popular 173 435 sense, 176 435 always 178 435 conveys 179 435 an 181 435 idea 182 435 of 184 435 hugeness. 187 435 But 188 435 the 191 435 creatures 193 435 set 194 435 down 196 435 above 197 435 as 199 435 Duodecimoes 202 435 are 206 435 infallibly 208 435 whales, 209 435 by 211 435 the 212 435 terms 214 435 of 217 435 my 218 435 definition 221 435 of 223 435 what 224 435 a 226 435 whale 227 435 is--i.e. 229 435 a 233 435 spouting 236 435 fish, 238 435 with 239 435 a 241 435 horizontal 242 435 tail. 244 435 BOOK 247 435 III. 248 435 (DUODECIMO), 251 435 CHAPTER 253 435 1. 254 435 (HUZZA 256 435 PORPOISE).--This 257 435 is 259 435 the 262 435 common 263 435 porpoise 266 435 found 268 435 almost 269 435 all 271 435 over 272 435 the 274 435 globe. 277 435 The 278 435 name 281 435 is 283 435 of 284 435 my 286 435 own 287 435 bestowal; 289 435 for 292 435 there 293 435 are 296 435 more 298 435 than 299 435 one 301 435 sort 302 435 of 304 435 porpoises, 307 435 and 308 435 something 311 435 must 313 435 be 314 435 done 316 435 to 317 435 distinguish 322 435 them. 323 435 I 326 435 call 328 435 him 329 435 thus, 331 435 because 332 435 he 334 435 always 337 435 swims 338 435 in 341 435 hilarious 343 435 shoals, 344 435 which 346 435 upon 347 435 the 349 435 broad 352 435 sea 353 435 keep 356 435 tossing 358 435 themselves 359 435 to 361 435 heaven 362 435 like 364 435 caps 367 435 in 368 435 a 371 435 Fourth-of-July 373 435 crowd. 374 435 Their 376 435 appearance 379 435 is 382 435 generally 383 435 hailed 386 435 with 388 435 delight 389 435 by 391 435 the 392 435 mariner. 394 435 Full 397 435 of 398 435 fine 401 435 spirits, 403 435 they 404 435 invariably 407 435 come 409 435 from 412 435 the 413 435 breezy 416 435 billows 418 435 to 419 435 windward. 421 435 They 422 435 are 424 435 the 427 435 lads 428 435 that 431 435 always 433 435 live 434 435 before 1 436 the 3 436 wind. 5 436 They 7 436 are 9 436 accounted 11 436 a 13 436 lucky 15 436 omen. 17 436 If 19 436 you 21 436 yourself 23 436 can 25 436 withstand 27 436 three 29 436 cheers 31 436 at 33 436 beholding 35 436 these 37 436 vivacious 39 436 fish, 41 436 then 43 436 heaven 45 436 help 47 436 ye; 49 436 the 51 436 spirit 53 436 of 55 436 godly 57 436 gamesomeness 59 436 is 61 436 not 63 436 in 65 436 ye. 67 436 A 69 436 well-fed, 71 436 plump 73 436 Huzza 75 436 Porpoise 77 436 will 79 436 yield 81 436 you 83 436 one 85 436 good 87 436 gallon 89 436 of 91 436 good 93 436 oil. 95 436 But 97 436 the 99 436 fine 101 436 and 103 436 delicate 105 436 fluid 107 436 extracted 111 436 from 113 436 his 115 436 jaws 117 436 is 119 436 exceedingly 121 436 valuable. 123 436 It 125 436 is 127 436 in 129 436 request 131 436 among 133 436 jewellers 135 436 and 137 436 watchmakers. 139 436 Sailors 141 436 put 143 436 it 145 436 on 147 436 their 149 436 hones. 151 436 Porpoise 153 436 meat 155 436 is 157 436 good 159 436 eating, 161 436 you 163 436 know. 165 436 It 167 436 may 169 436 never 171 436 have 173 436 occurred 175 436 to 177 436 you 179 436 that 181 436 a 183 436 porpoise 185 436 spouts. 187 436 Indeed, 189 436 his 191 436 spout 193 436 is 195 436 so 197 436 small 199 436 that 201 436 it 203 436 is 205 436 not 207 436 very 209 436 readily 211 436 discernible. 213 436 But 215 436 the 217 436 next 219 436 time 221 436 you 223 436 have 225 436 a 227 436 chance, 229 436 watch 231 436 him; 233 436 and 235 436 you 237 436 will 239 436 then 241 436 see 243 436 the 245 436 great 247 436 Sperm 249 436 whale 251 436 himself 253 436 in 255 436 miniature. 257 436 BOOK 259 436 III. 261 436 (DUODECIMO), 263 436 CHAPTER 265

Pacific. 295 436 He 297 436 is 299 436 somewhat 301 436 larger 303 436 than 305 436 the 307 436 Huzza 309 436 Porpoise, 311 436 but 313 436 much 315 436 of 317 436 the 319 436 same 321 436 general 323 436 make. 325 436 Provoke 329 436 him, 331 436 and 333 436 he 335 436 will 337 436 buckle 339 436 to 341 436 a 343 436 shark. 345 436 I 347 436 have 349 436 lowered 351 436 for 353 436 him 355 436 many 357 436 times, 359 436 but 361 436 never 363 436 yet 365 436 saw 367 436 him 369 436 captured. 371 436 BOOK 373 436 III. 375 436 (DUODECIMO), 377 436 CHAPTER 379 436 III. 381 436 (MEALY-MOUTHED

distinct 108 437 as 109 437 the 110 437 mark 111 437 in 112 437 a 113 437 ship's 116 437 hull, 117 437 called 118 437 the 119 437 "bright 120 437 waist," 121 437 that 122 437 line 123 437 streaks 124 437 him 125 437 from 126 437 stem 127 437 to 128 437 stern, 129 437 with 130 437 two 131 437 separate 132 437 colours, 134 437 black 135 437 above 136 437 and 137 437 white 139 437 below. 140 437 The 141 437 white 142 437 comprises 143 437 part 144 437 of 145 437 his 146 437 head, 147 437 and 148 437 the 149 437 whole 150 437 of 151 437 his 153 437 mouth, 154 437 which 155 437 makes 156 437 him 157 437 look 158 437 as 159 437 if 160 437 he 162 437 had 163 437 just 164 437 escaped 165 437 from 166 437 a 167 437 felonious 168 437 visit 169 437 to 170 437 a 172 437 meal-bag. 173 437 A 174 437 most 175 437 mean 176 437 and 177 437 mealy 178 437 aspect! 179 437 His 180 437 oil 181 437 is 182 437 much 183 437 like 185 437 that 186 437 of 187 437 the 188 437 common 189 437 porpoise. 191 437 Beyond 192 437 the 193 437 DUODECIMO, 194 437 this 195 437 system 196 437 does 197 437 not 198 437 proceed, 199 437 inasmuch 200 437 as 201 437 the 202 437 Porpoise 203 437 is 204 437 the 205 437 smallest 206 437 of 208 437 the 210 437 whales. 211 437 Above, 212 437 you 213 437 have 214 437 all 215 437 the 216 437 Leviathans 217 437 of 218 437 note. 219 437 But 220 437 there 221 437 are 222 437 a 223 437 rabble 224 437 of 225 437 uncertain, 226 437 fugitive, 227 437 half-fabulous 229 437 whales, 231 437 which, 232 437 as 233 437 an 234 437 American 235 437 whaleman, 236 437 I 237 437 know 238 437 by 239 437 reputation, 240 437 but 241 437 not 242 437 personally. 243 437 I 244 437 shall 245 437 enumerate 246 437 them 248 437 by 249 437 their 250 437 fore-castle 251 437 appellations; 252 437 for 254 437 possibly 255 437 such 256 437 a 257 437 list 258 437 may 259 437 be 260 437 valuable 261 437 to 262 437 future 263 437 investigators, 264 437 who 265 437 may 267 437 complete 268 437 what 269 437 I 270 437 have 271 437 here 272 437 but 273 437 begun. 274 437 If 275 437 any 277 437 of 278 437 the 279 437 following 280 437 whales, 281 437 shall 282 437 hereafter 283 437 be 284 437 caught 286 437 and 287 437 marked, 288 437 then 289 437 he 290 437 can 291 437 readily 292 437 be 293 437 incorporated 294 437 into 295 437 this 296 437 System, 297 437 according 298 437 to 300 437 his 301 437 Folio, 302 437 Octavo, 303 437 or 305 437 Duodecimo 306 437 magnitude:--The 307 437 Bottle-Nose 308 437 Whale; 309 437 the 310 437 Junk 311 437 Whale; 312 437 the 313 437 Pudding-Headed 314 437 Whale; 315 437 the 316 437 Cape 317 437 Whale; 318 437 the 319 437 Leading 320 437 Whale; 321 437 the 324 437 Cannon 325 437 Whale; 326 437 the 327 437 Scragg 328 437 Whale; 329 437 the 330 437 Coppered 331 437 Whale; 332 437 the 333 437 Elephant 334 437 Whale; 335 437 the 336 437 Iceberg 337 437 Whale; 338 437 the 339 437 Quog 340 437 Whale; 341 437 the 343 437 Blue 344 437 Whale; 346 437 etc. 347 437 From 348 437 Icelandic, 349 437 Dutch, 350 437 and 351 437 old 352 437 English 353 437 authorities, 354 437 there 355 437 might 356 437 be 357 437 quoted 358 437 other 359 437 lists 360 437 of 362 437 uncertain 363 437 whales, 364 437 blessed 365 437 with 366 437 all 367 437 manner 369 437 of 370 437 uncouth 371 437 names. 372 437 But 373 437 I 374 437 omit 375 437 them 376 437 as 377 437 altogether 378 437 obsolete; 379 437 and 381 437 can 382 437 hardly 383 437 help 384 437 suspecting 385 437 them 386 437 for 387 437 mere 388 437 sounds, 389 437 full 390 437 of 392 437 Leviathanism, 393 437 but 394 437 signifying 395 437 nothing. 396 437 Finally: 397 437 It 398 437 was 400 437 stated 401 437 at 402 437 the 403 437 outset, 404 437 that 405 437 this 406 437 system 407 437 would 408 437 not 409 437 be 410 437 here, 411 437 and 412 437 at 413 437 once, 415 437 perfected. 416 437 You 417 437 cannot 419 437 but 420 437 plainly 421 437 see 422 437 that 423 437 I 424 437 have 425 437 kept 426 437 my 427 437 word. 428 437 But 429 437 I 430 437 now 431 437 leave 432 437 my 433 437 cetological 434 437 System 435 437 standing 436 437 thus 1 438 unfinished, 5 438 even 7 438 as 11 438 the 13 438 great 17 438 Cathedral 19 438 of 23 438 Cologne 25 438 was 29 438 left, 31 438 with 35 438 the 37 438 crane 41 438 still 43 438 standing 47 438 upon 49 438 the 53 438 top 55 438 of 59 438 the 61 438 uncompleted 65 438 tower. 67 438 For 71 438 small 77 438 erections 79 438 may 83 438 be 85 438 finished 89 438 by 91 438 their 95 438 first 97 438 architects; 101 438 grand 103 438 ones, 107 438 true 109 438 ones, 113 438 ever 115 438 leave 119 438 the 121 438 copestone 125 438 to 127 438 posterity. 131 438 God 133 438 keep 137 438 me 139 438 from 143 438 ever 145 438 completing 149 438 anything. 151 438 This 155 438 whole 157 438 book 161 438 is 163 438 but 167 438 a 169 438 draught--nay, 173 438 but 175 438 the 179 438 draught 181 438 of 185 438 a 187 438 draught. 191 438 Oh, 193 438 Time, 197 438 Strength, 199 438 Cash, 203 438 and 205 438 Patience! 209 438 CHAPTER 211 438 33 215 438 The 217 438 Specksynder. 221 438 Concerning 223 438 the 227 438 officers 229 438 of 233 438 the 235 438 whale-craft, 239 438 this 241 438 seems 245 438 as 247 438 good 251 438 a 253 438 place 257 438 as 259 438 any 263 438 to 265 438 set 269 438 down 271 438 a 275 438 little 277 438 domestic 281 438 peculiarity 283 438 on 287 438 ship-board, 289 438 arising 293 438 from 295 438 the 299 438 existence 301 438 of 305 438 the 307 438 harpooneer 311 438 class 313 438 of 317 438 officers, 319 438 a 323 438 class 325 438 unknown 329 438 of 331 438 course 335 438 in 337 438 any 341 438 other 343 438 marine 347 438 than 349 438 the 353 438 whale-fleet. 355 438 The 359 438 large 361 438 importance 367 438 attached 371 438 to 373 438 the 377 438 harpooneer's 379 438 vocation 383 438 is 385 438 evinced 389 438 by 391 438 the 395 438 fact, 397 438 that 401 438 originally 403 438 in 407 438 the 409 438 old 413 438 Dutch 415 438 Fishery, 419 438 two 421 438 centuries 425 438 and 427 438 more 431 438 ago, 433 438 the 437 438 command 1 439 of 2 439 a 3 439 whale 4 439 ship 5 439 was 6 439 not 7 439 wholly 8 439 lodged 9 439 in 10 439 the 11 439 person 12 439 now 13 439 called 14 439 the 15 439 captain, 16 439 but 17 439 was 18 439 divided 19 439 between 20 439 him 21 439 and 22 439 an 23 439 officer 24 439 called 25 439 the 26 439 Specksynder. 27 439 Literally 28 439 this 29 439 word 30 439 means 31 439 Fat-Cutter; 32 439 usage, 33 439 however, 34 439 in 35 439 time 36 439 made 37 439 it 38 439 equivalent 39 439 to 40 439 Chief 41 439 Harpooneer. 42 439 In 43 439 those 44 439 days, 45 439 the 46 439 captain's 47 439 authority 48 439 was 49 439 restricted 50 439 to 51 439 the 52 439 navigation 53 439 and 54 439 general 55 439 management 56 439 of 57 439 the 58 439 vessel; 59 439 while 60 439 over 61 439 the 62 439 whale-hunting 63 439 department 64 439 and 65 439 all 66 439 its 67 439 concerns, 68 439 the 69 439 Specksynder 70 439 or 71 439 Chief 72 439 Harpooneer 73 439 reigned 74 439 supreme. 75 439 In 76 439 the 77 439 British 78 439 Greenland 79 439 Fishery, 80 439 under 81 439 the 82 439 corrupted 83 439 title 84 439 of 85 439 Specksioneer, 86 439 this 87 439 old 88 439 Dutch 89 439 official 90 439 is 91 439 still 92 439 retained, 93 439 but 94 439 his 95 439 former 96 439 dignity 97 439 is 98 439 sadly 99 439 abridged. 100 439 At 101 439 present 102 439 he 103 439 ranks 104 439 simply 105 439 as 106 439 senior 107 439 Harpooneer; 108 439 and 109 439 as 110 439 such, 111 439 is 112 439 but 113 439 one 114 439 of 115 439 the 116 439 captain's 117 439 more 118 439 inferior 119 439 subalterns. 120 439 Nevertheless, 121 439 as 122 439 upon 123 439 the 124 439 good 125 439 conduct 126 439 of 127 439 the 128 439 harpooneers 129 439 the 130 439 success 131 439 of 132 439 a 133 439 whaling 134 439 voyage 135 439 largely 136 439 depends, 137 439 and 138 439 since 139 439 in 140 439 the 141 439 American 142 439 Fishery 143 439 he 144 439 is 145 439 not 146 439 only 147 439 an 148 439 important 149 439 officer 150 439 in 151 439 the 152 439 boat, 153 439 but 154 439 under 155 439 certain 156 439 circumstances 157 439 (night 158 439 watches 159 439 on 160 439 a 161 439 whaling 162 439 ground) 163 439 the 164 439 command 165 439 of 166 439 the 167 439 ship's 168 439 deck 169 439 is 170 439 also 171 439 his; 172 439 therefore 173 439 the 174 439 grand 175 439 political 176 439 maxim 177 439 of 178 439 the 179 439 sea 180 439 demands, 181 439 that 182 439 he 183 439 should 184 439 nominally 185 439 live 186 439 apart 187 439 from 188 439 the 189 439 men 190 439 before 191 439 the 192 439 mast, 193 439 and 194 439 be 195 439 in 196 439 some 197 439 way 198 439 distinguished 199 439 as 200 439 their 201 439 professional 202 439 superior; 203 439 though 204 439 always, 205 439 by 206 439 them, 207 439 familiarly 208 439 regarded 209 439 as 210 439 their 211 439 social 212 439 equal. 213 439 Now, 214 439 the 215 439 grand 216 439 distinction 217 439 drawn 218 439 between 219 439 officer 220 439 and 221 439 man 222 439 at 223 439 sea, 224 439 is 225 439 this--the 226 439 first 227 439 lives 228 439 aft, 229 439 the 230 439 last 231 439 forward. 232 439 Hence, 233 439 in 234 439 whale-ships 235 439 and 236 439 merchantmen 237 439 alike, 238 439 the 239 439 mates 240 439 have 241 439 their 242 439 quarters 243 439 with 244 439 the 245 439 captain; 246 439 and 247 439 so, 248 439 too, 249 439 in 250 439 most 251 439 of 252 439 the 253 439 American 254 439 whalers 255 439 the 256 439 harpooneers 257 439 are 258 439 lodged 259 439 in 260 439 the 261 439 after 262 439 part 263 439 of 264 439 the 265 439 ship. 266 439 That 267 439 is 268 439 to 269 439 say, 270 439 they 271 439 take 272 439 their 273 439 meals 274 439 in 275 439 the 276 439 captain's 277 439 cabin, 278 439 and 279 439 sleep 280 439 in 281 439 a 282 439 place 283 439 indirectly 284 439 communicating 285 439 with 286 439 it. 287 439 Though 288 439 the 289 439 long 290 439 period 291 439 of 292 439 a 293 439 Southern 294 439 whaling 295 439 voyage 296 439 (by 297 439 far 298 439 the 299 439 longest 300 439 of 301 439 all 302 439 voyages 303 439 now 304 439 or 305 439 ever 306 439 made 307 439 by 308 439 man), 309 439 the 310 439 peculiar 311 439 perils 312 439 of 313 439 it, 314 439 and 315 439 the 316 439 community 317 439 of 318 439 interest 319 439 prevailing 320 439 among 321 439 a 322 439 company, 323 439 all 324 439 of 325 439 whom, 326 439 high 327 439 or 328 439 low, 329 439 depend 330 439 for 331 439 their 332 439 profits, 333 439 not 334 439 upon 335 439 fixed 336 439 wages, 337 439 but 338 439 upon 339 439 their 340 439 common 341 439 luck, 342 439 together 343 439 with 344 439 their 345 439 common 346 439 vigilance, 347 439 intrepidity, 348 439 and 349 439 hard 350 439 work; 351 439 though 352 439 all 353 439 these 354 439 things 355 439 do 356 439 in 357 439 some 358 439 cases 359 439 tend 360 439 to 361 439 beget 362 439 a 363 439 less 364 439 rigorous 365 439 discipline 366 439 than 367 439 in 368 439 merchantmen 369 439 generally; 370 439 yet, 371 439 never 372 439 mind 373 439 how 374 439 much 375 439 like 376 439 an 377 439 old 378 439 Mesopotamian 379 439 family 380 439 these 381 439 whalemen 382 439 may, 383 439 in 384 439 some 385 439 primitive 386 439 instances, 387 439 live 388 439 together; 389 439 for 390 439 all 391 439 that, 392 439 the 393 439 punctilious 394 439 externals, 395 439 at 396 439 least, 397 439 of 398 439 the 399 439 quarter-deck 400 439 are 401 439 seldom 402 439 materially 403 439 relaxed, 404 439 and 405 439 in 406 439 no 407 439 instance 408 439 done 409 439 away. 410 439 Indeed, 411 439 many 412 439 are 413 439 the 414 439 Nantucket 415 439 ships 416 439 in 417 439 which 418 439 you 419 439 will 420 439 see 421 439 the 422 439 skipper 423 439 parading 424 439 his 425 439 quarter-deck 426 439 with 427 439 an 428 439 elated 429 439 grandeur 430 439 not 431 439 surpassed 432 439 in 433 439 any 434 439 military 435 439 navy; 436 439 nay, 437 439 extorting 438 439 almost 1 440 as 3 440 much 7 440 outward 9 440 homage 13 440 as 17 440 if 19 440 he 21 440 wore 23 440 the 27 440 imperial 29 440 purple, 31 440 and 37 440 not 39 440 the 41 440 shabbiest 43 440 of 47 440 pilot-cloth. 49 440 And 51 440 though 53 440 of 57 440 all 59 440 men 61 440 the 63 440 moody 67 440 captain 69 440 of 71 440 the 73 440 Pequod 79 440 was 81 440 the 83 440 least 87 440 given 89 440 to 91 440 that 93 440 sort 97 440 of 101 440 shallowest 103 440 assumption; 107 440 and 109 440 though 111 440 the 113 440 only 117 440 homage 119 440 he 123 440 ever 127 440 exacted, 129 440 was 131 440 implicit, 133 440 instantaneous 137 440 obedience; 139 440 though 141 440 he 147 440 required 149 440 no 151 440 man 153 440 to 157 440 remove 159 440 the 161 440 shoes 163 440 from 167 440 his 169 440 feet 171 440 ere 173 440 stepping 177 440 upon 179 440 the 181 440 quarter-deck; 183 440 and 189 440 though 191 440 there 193 440 were 197 440 times 199 440 when, 201 440 owing 203 440 to 207 440 peculiar 211 440 circumstances 213 440 connected 217 440 with 219 440 events 221 440 hereafter 223 440 to 227 440 be 229 440 detailed, 233 440 he 237 440 addressed 239 440 them 241 440 in 243 440 unusual 247 440 terms, 249 440 whether 251 440 of 257 440 condescension 259 440 or 261 440 IN 263 440 TERROREM, 267 440 or 269 440 otherwise; 271 440 yet 273 440 even 277 440 Captain 279 440 Ahab 281 440 was 283 440 by 287 440 no 289 440 means 291 440 unobservant 293 440 of 299 440 the 301 440 paramount 303 440 forms 307 440 and 309 440 usages 311 440 of 313 440 the 317 440 sea. 321 440 Nor, 323 440 perhaps, 327 440 will 329 440 it 331 440 fail 333 440 to 337 440 be 339 440 eventually 343 440 perceived, 347 440 that 349 440 behind 351 440 those 353 440 forms 357 440 and 359 440 usages, 361 440 as 367 440 it 369 440 were, 371 440 he 373 440 sometimes 377 440 masked 379 440 himself; 381 440 incidentally 383 440 making 387 440 use 389 440 of 391 440 them 393 440 for 397 440 other 399 440 and 401 440 more 403 440 private 409 440 ends 411 440 than 413 440 they 417 440 were 419 440 legitimately 421 440 intended 423 440 to 427 440 subserve. 431 440 That 433 440 certain 437 440 sultanism 439 440 of 1 441 his 2 441 brain, 4 441 which 5 441 had 8 441 otherwise 10 441 in 11 441 a 13 441 good 16 441 degree 17 441 remained 19 441 unmanifested; 20 441 through 22 441 those 23 441 forms 25 441 that 26 441 same 29 441 sultanism 31 441 became 32 441 incarnate 34 441 in 37 441 an 38 441 irresistible 40 441 dictatorship. 41 441 For 43 441 be 44 441 a 46 441 man's 47 441 intellectual 50 441 superiority 52 441 what 53 441 it 55 441 will, 58 441 it 59 441 can 61 441 never 62 441 assume 64 441 the 65 441 practical, 67 441 available 68 441 supremacy 71 441 over 73 441 other 74 441 men, 76 441 without 79 441 the 80 441 aid 82 441 of 83 441 some 85 441 sort 86 441 of 88 441 external 89 441 arts 92 441 and 94 441 entrenchments, 95 441 always, 97 441 in 100 441 themselves, 101 441 more 103 441 or 104 441 less 106 441 paltry 107 441 and 109 441 base. 110 441 This 113 441 it 115 441 is, 116 441 that 118 441 for 121 441 ever 122 441 keeps 124 441 God's 125 441 true 127 441 princes 128 441 of 130 441 the 131 441 Empire 134 441 from 136 441 the 137 441 world's 139 441 hustings; 142 441 and 143 441 leaves 145 441 the 146 441 highest 148 441 honours 149 441 that 151 441 this 152 441 air 155 441 can 157 441 give, 158 441 to 160 441 those 163 441 men 164 441 who 166 441 become 167 441 famous 169 441 more 170 441 through 172 441 their 173 441 infinite 176 441 inferiority 178 441 to 179 441 the 181 441 choice 184 441 hidden 185 441 handful 187 441 of 188 441 the 190 441 Divine 191 441 Inert, 193 441 than 194 441 through 197 441 their 199 441 undoubted 200 441 superiority 202 441 over 205 441 the 206 441 dead 208 441 level 209 441 of 211 441 the 212 441 mass. 214 441 Such 215 441 large 218 441 virtue 220 441 lurks 221 441 in 223 441 these 226 441 small 227 441 things 229 441 when 230 441 extreme 232 441 political 233 441 superstitions 235 441 invest 236 441 them, 239 441 that 241 441 in 242 441 some 244 441 royal 247 441 instances 248 441 even 250 441 to 251 441 idiot 253 441 imbecility 254 441 they 256 441 have 257 441 imparted 260 441 potency. 262 441 But 263 441 when, 265 441 as 268 441 in 269 441 the 271 441 case 272 441 of 274 441 Nicholas 275 441 the 277 441 Czar, 278 441 the 281 441 ringed 283 441 crown 284 441 of 286 441 geographical 289 441 empire 290 441 encircles 292 441 an 293 441 imperial 295 441 brain; 296 441 then, 298 441 the 299 441 plebeian 302 441 herds 304 441 crouch 305 441 abased 307 441 before 310 441 the 311 441 tremendous 313 441 centralization. 314 441 Nor, 316 441 will 317 441 the 319 441 tragic 320 441 dramatist 323 441 who 325 441 would 326 441 depict 328 441 mortal 331 441 indomitableness 332 441 in 334 441 its 335 441 fullest 337 441 sweep 338 441 and 340 441 direct 341 441 swing, 344 441 ever 346 441 forget 347 441 a 349 441 hint, 352 441 incidentally 353 441 so 355 441 important 356 441 in 358 441 his 359 441 art, 361 441 as 362 441 the 365 441 one 367 441 now 368 441 alluded 370 441 to. 373 441 But 374 441 Ahab, 376 441 my 377 441 Captain, 379 441 still 380 441 moves 382 441 before 383 441 me 386 441 in 388 441 all 389 441 his 391 441 Nantucket 394 441 grimness 395 441 and 397 441 shagginess; 398 441 and 400 441 in 401 441 this 403 441 episode 404 441 touching 407 441 Emperors 409 441 and 410 441 Kings, 412 441 I 415 441 must 416 441 not 418 441 conceal 419 441 that 421 441 I 422 441 have 424 441 only 425 441 to 428 441 do 430 441 with 431 441 a 433 441 poor 436 441 old 437 441 whale-hunter 439 441 like 440 441 him; 1 442 and, 3 442 therefore, 5 442 all 7 442 outward 9 442 majestical 11 442 trappings 15 442 and 19 442 housings 21 442 are 23 442 denied 25 442 me. 27 442 Oh, 29 442 Ahab! 31 442 what 33 442 shall 35 442 be 37 442 grand 41 442 in 43 442 thee, 45 442 it 47 442 must 49 442 needs 53 442 be 55 442 plucked 57 442 at 59 442 from 61 442 the 63 442 skies, 67 442 and 69 442 dived 71 442 for 73 442 in 75 442 the 77 442 deep, 79 442 and 81 442 featured 83 442 in 87 442 the 89 442 unbodied 93 442 air! 95 442 CHAPTER 97 442 34 99 442 The 101 442 Cabin-Table. 103 442 It 105 442 is 107 442 noon; 109 442 and 111 442 Dough-Boy, 113 442 the 115 442 steward, 121 442 thrusting 123 442 his 125 442 pale 127 442 loaf-of-bread 129 442 face 131 442 from 133 442 the 135 442 cabin-scuttle, 137 442 announces 139 442 dinner 141 442 to 145 442 his 147 442 lord 149 442 and 151 442 master; 155 442 who, 157 442 sitting 159 442 in 161 442 the 163 442 lee 165 442 quarter-boat, 167 442 has 171 442 just 173 442 been 175 442 taking 177 442 an 179 442 observation 181 442 of 183 442 the 185 442 sun; 189 442 and 191 442 is 193 442 now 197 442 mutely 199 442 reckoning 201 442 the 203 442 latitude 205 442 on 207 442 the 209 442 smooth, 211 442 medallion-shaped 213 442 tablet, 215 442 reserved 217 442 for 219 442 that 223 442 daily 225 442 purpose 227 442 on 229 442 the 231 442 upper 233 442 part 235 442 of 237 442 his 239 442 ivory 241 442 leg. 243 442 From 245 442 his 249 442 complete 251 442 inattention 253 442 to 257 442 the 259 442 tidings, 261 442 you 263 442 would 265 442 think 267 442 that 269 442 moody 271 442 Ahab 275 442 had 277 442 not 279 442 heard 281 442 his 283 442 menial. 285 442 But 287 442 presently, 291 442 catching 293 442 hold 295 442 of 297 442 the 301 442 mizen 303 442 shrouds, 305 442 he 307 442 swings 309 442 himself 311 442 to 313 442 the 315 442 deck, 317 442 and 319 442 in 321 442 an 327 442 even, 329 442 unexhilarated 331 442 voice, 333 442 saying, 335 442 "Dinner, 337 442 Mr. 339 442 Starbuck," 341 442 disappears 343 442 into 345 442 the 347 442 cabin. 349 442 When 353 442 the 355 442 last 359 442 echo 361 442 of 363 442 his 365 442 sultan's 367 442 step 369 442 has 371 442 died 373 442 away, 375 442 and 379 442 Starbuck, 381 442 the 383 442 first 385 442 Emir, 387 442 has 389 442 every 393 442 reason 395 442 to 397 442 suppose 399 442 that 401 442 he 405 442 is 407 442 seated, 409 442 then 411 442 Starbuck 413 442 rouses 415 442 from 417 442 his 419 442 quietude, 421 442 takes 423 442 a 427 442 few 431 442 turns 433 442 along 435 442 the 437 442 planks, 439 442 and, 441 442 after 1 443 a 2 443 grave 3 443 peep 4 443 into 5 443 the 6 443 binnacle, 7 443 says, 8 443 with 9 443 some 10 443 touch 11 443 of 12 443 pleasantness, 13 443 "Dinner, 14 443 Mr. 15 443 Stubb," 16 443 and 17 443 descends 18 443 the 19 443 scuttle. 20 443 The 21 443 second 22 443 Emir 23 443 lounges 24 443 about 25 443 the 26 443 rigging 27 443 awhile, 28 443 and 29 443 then 30 443 slightly 31 443 shaking 32 443 the 33 443 main 34 443 brace, 35 443 to 36 443 see 37 443 whether 38 443 it 39 443 will 40 443 be 41 443 all 42 443 right 43 443 with 44 443 that 45 443 important 46 443 rope, 47 443 he 48 443 likewise 49 443 takes 50 443 up 51 443 the 52 443 old 53 443 burden, 54 443 and 55 443 with 56 443 a 57 443 rapid 58 443 "Dinner, 59 443 Mr. 60 443 Flask," 61 443 follows 62 443 after 63 443 his 64 443 predecessors. 65 443 But 66 443 the 67 443 third 68 443 Emir, 69 443 now 70 443 seeing 71 443 himself 72 443 all 73 443 alone 74 443 on 75 443 the 76 443 quarter-deck, 77 443 seems 78 443 to 79 443 feel 80 443 relieved 81 443 from 82 443 some 83 443 curious 84 443 restraint; 85 443 for, 86 443 tipping 87 443 all 88 443 sorts 89 443 of 90 443 knowing 91 443 winks 92 443 in 93 443 all 94 443 sorts 95 443 of 96 443 directions, 97 443 and 98 443 kicking 99 443 off 100 443 his 101 443 shoes, 102 443 he 103 443 strikes 104 443 into 105 443 a 106 443 sharp 107 443 but 108 443 noiseless 109 443 squall 110 443 of 111 443 a 112 443 hornpipe 113 443 right 114 443 over 115 443 the 116 443 Grand 117 443 Turk's 118 443 head; 119 443 and 120 443 then, 121 443 by 122 443 a 123 443 dexterous 124 443 sleight, 125 443 pitching 126 443 his 127 443 cap 128 443 up 129 443 into 130 443 the 131 443 mizentop 132 443 for 133 443 a 134 443 shelf, 135 443 he 136 443 goes 137 443 down 138 443 rollicking 139 443 so 140 443 far 141 443 at 142 443 least 143 443 as 144 443 he 145 443 remains 146 443 visible 147 443 from 148 443 the 149 443 deck, 150 443 reversing 151 443 all 152 443 other 153 443 processions, 154 443 by 155 443 bringing 156 443 up 157 443 the 158 443 rear 159 443 with 160 443 music. 161 443 But 162 443 ere 163 443 stepping 164 443 into 165 443 the 166 443 cabin 167 443 doorway 168 443 below, 169 443 he 170 443 pauses, 171 443 ships 172 443 a 173 443 new 174 443 face 175 443 altogether, 176 443 and, 177 443 then, 178 443 independent, 179 443 hilarious 180 443 little 181 443 Flask 182 443 enters 183 443 King 184 443 Ahab's 185 443 presence, 186 443 in 187 443 the 188 443 character 189 443 of 190 443 Abjectus, 191 443 or 192 443 the 193 443 Slave. 194 443 It 195 443 is 196 443 not 197 443 the 198 443 least 199 443 among 200 443 the 201 443 strange 202 443 things 203 443 bred 204 443 by 205 443 the 206 443 intense 207 443 artificialness 208 443 of 209 443 sea-usages, 210 443 that 211 443 while 212 443 in 213 443 the 214 443 open 215 443 air 216 443 of 217 443 the 218 443 deck 219 443 some 220 443 officers 221 443 will, 222 443 upon 223 443 provocation, 224 443 bear 225 443 themselves 226 443 boldly 227 443 and 228 443 defyingly 229 443 enough 230 443 towards 231 443 their 232 443 commander; 233 443 yet, 234 443 ten 235 443 to 236 443 one, 237 443 let 238 443 those 239 443 very 240 443 officers 241 443 the 242 443 next 243 443 moment 244 443 go 245 443 down 246 443 to 247 443 their 248 443 customary 249 443 dinner 250 443 in 251 443 that 252 443 same 253 443 commander's 254 443 cabin, 255 443 and 256 443 straightway 257 443 their 258 443 inoffensive, 259 443 not 260 443 to 261 443 say 262 443 deprecatory 263 443 and 264 443 humble 265 443 air 266 443 towards 267 443 him, 268 443 as 269 443 he 270 443 sits 271 443 at 272 443 the 273 443 head 274 443 of 275 443 the 276 443 table; 277 443 this 278 443 is 279 443 marvellous, 280 443 sometimes 281 443 most 282 443 comical. 283 443 Wherefore 284 443 this 285 443 difference? 286 443 A 287 443 problem? 288 443 Perhaps 289 443 not. 290 443 To 291 443 have 292 443 been 293 443 Belshazzar, 294 443 King 295 443 of 296 443 Babylon; 297 443 and 298 443 to 299 443 have 300 443 been 301 443 Belshazzar, 302 443 not 303 443 haughtily 304 443 but 305 443 courteously, 306 443 therein 307 443 certainly 308 443 must 309 443 have 310 443 been 311 443 some 312 443 touch 313 443 of 314 443 mundane 315 443 grandeur. 316 443 But 317 443 he 318 443 who 319 443 in 320 443 the 321 443 rightly 322 443 regal 323 443 and 324 443 intelligent 325 443 spirit 326 443 presides 327 443 over 328 443 his 329 443 own 330 443 private 331 443 dinner-table 332 443 of 333 443 invited 334 443 guests, 335 443 that 336 443 man's 337 443 unchallenged 338 443 power 339 443 and 340 443 dominion 341 443 of 342 443 individual 343 443 influence 344 443 for 345 443 the 346 443 time; 347 443 that 348 443 man's 349 443 royalty 350 443 of 351 443 state 352 443 transcends 353 443 Belshazzar's, 354 443 for 355 443 Belshazzar 356 443 was 357 443 not 358 443 the 359 443 greatest. 360 443 Who 361 443 has 362 443 but 363 443 once 364 443 dined 365 443 his 366 443 friends, 367 443 has 368 443 tasted 369 443 what 370 443 it 371 443 is 372 443 to 373 443 be 374 443 Caesar. 375 443 It 376 443 is 377 443 a 378 443 witchery 379 443 of 380 443 social 381 443 czarship 382 443 which 383 443 there 384 443 is 385 443 no 386 443 withstanding. 387 443 Now, 388 443 if 389 443 to 390 443 this 391 443 consideration 392 443 you 393 443 superadd 394 443 the 395 443 official 396 443 supremacy 397 443 of 398 443 a 399 443 ship-master, 400 443 then, 401 443 by 402 443 inference, 403 443 you 404 443 will 405 443 derive 406 443 the 407 443 cause 408 443 of 409 443 that 410 443 peculiarity 411 443 of 412 443 sea-life 413 443 just 414 443 mentioned. 415 443 Over 416 443 his 417 443 ivory-inlaid 418 443 table, 419 443 Ahab 420 443 presided 421 443 like 422 443 a 423 443 mute, 424 443 maned 425 443 sea-lion 426 443 on 427 443 the 428 443 white 429 443 coral 430 443 beach, 431 443 surrounded 432 443 by 433 443 his 434 443 warlike 435 443 but 436 443 still 437 443 deferential 438 443 cubs. 439 443 In 440 443 his 441 443 own 442 443 proper 1 444 turn, 5 444 each 7 444 officer 11 444 waited 13 444 to 17 444 be 19 444 served. 23 444 They 25 444 were 29 444 as 31 444 little 35 444 children 41 444 before 43 444 Ahab; 47 444 and 49 444 yet, 53 444 in 55 444 Ahab, 59 444 there 61 444 seemed 65 444 not 67 444 to 71 444 lurk 73 444 the 77 444 smallest 79 444 social 83 444 arrogance. 85 444 With 89 444 one 91 444 mind, 95 444 their 97 444 intent 101 444 eyes 103 444 all 107 444 fastened 109 444 upon 113 444 the 115 444 old 119 444 man's 121 444 knife, 125 444 as 127 444 he 131 444 carved 133 444 the 137 444 chief 139 444 dish 143 444 before 145 444 him. 149 444 I 151 444 do 155 444 not 157 444 suppose 161 444 that 163 444 for 167 444 the 169 444 world 173 444 they 175 444 would 179 444 have 181 444 profaned 187 444 that 191 444 moment 193 444 with 197 444 the 199 444 slightest 203 444 observation, 205 444 even 209 444 upon 211 444 so 215 444 neutral 217 444 a 221 444 topic 223 444 as 227 444 the 229 444 weather. 233 444 No! 235 444 And 239 444 when 241 444 reaching 245 444 out 247 444 his 251 444 knife 253 444 and 257 444 fork, 263 444 between 265 444 which 269 444 the 271 444 slice 275 444 of 277 444 beef 281 444 was 283 444 locked, 287 444 Ahab 289 444 thereby 293 444 motioned 295 444 Starbuck's 299 444 plate 301 444 towards 305 444 him, 307 444 the 311 444 mate 313 444 received 317 444 his 319 444 meat 323 444 as 325 444 though 329 444 receiving 331 444 alms; 335 444 and 337 444 cut 341 444 it 343 444 tenderly; 347 444 and 349 444 a 353 444 little 355 444 started 359 444 if, 361 444 perchance, 365 444 the 367 444 knife 371 444 grazed 373 444 against 377 444 the 379 444 plate; 383 444 and 385 444 chewed 389 444 it 391 444 noiselessly; 395 444 and 397 444 swallowed 401 444 it, 403 444 not 409 444 without 413 444 circumspection. 415 444 For, 419 444 like 421 444 the 425 444 Coronation 427 444 banquet 431 444 at 433 444 Frankfort, 437 444 where 439 444 the 443 444 German 1 445 Emperor 2 445 profoundly 3 445 dines 4 445 with 6 445 the 7 445 seven 8 445 Imperial 9 445 Electors, 11 445 so 12 445 these 13 445 cabin 14 445 meals 16 445 were 17 445 somehow 18 445 solemn 19 445 meals, 21 445 eaten 22 445 in 23 445 awful 24 445 silence; 26 445 and 27 445 yet 28 445 at 29 445 table 31 445 old 32 445 Ahab 33 445 forbade 34 445 not 36 445 conversation; 37 445 only 38 445 he 39 445 himself 41 445 was 42 445 dumb. 43 445 What 44 445 a 46 445 relief 47 445 it 48 445 was 49 445 to 51 445 choking 52 445 Stubb, 53 445 when 54 445 a 56 445 rat 57 445 made 58 445 a 59 445 sudden 61 445 racket 62 445 in 63 445 the 64 445 hold 66 445 below. 67 445 And 68 445 poor 69 445 little 71 445 Flask, 72 445 he 73 445 was 74 445 the 76 445 youngest 77 445 son, 78 445 and 79 445 little 81 445 boy 82 445 of 83 445 this 84 445 weary 86 445 family 87 445 party. 88 445 His 91 445 were 92 445 the 93 445 shinbones 94 445 of 96 445 the 97 445 saline 98 445 beef; 99 445 his 101 445 would 102 445 have 103 445 been 104 445 the 106 445 drumsticks. 107 445 For 108 445 Flask 109 445 to 111 445 have 112 445 presumed 113 445 to 114 445 help 116 445 himself, 117 445 this 118 445 must 119 445 have 121 445 seemed 122 445 to 123 445 him 124 445 tantamount 126 445 to 127 445 larceny 128 445 in 129 445 the 131 445 first 132 445 degree. 133 445 Had 134 445 he 136 445 helped 137 445 himself 138 445 at 139 445 that 141 445 table, 142 445 doubtless, 143 445 never 144 445 more 146 445 would 147 445 he 148 445 have 149 445 been 151 445 able 152 445 to 153 445 hold 154 445 his 156 445 head 157 445 up 158 445 in 159 445 this 161 445 honest 162 445 world; 163 445 nevertheless, 164 445 strange 166 445 to 167 445 say, 168 445 Ahab 169 445 never 171 445 forbade 172 445 him. 173 445 And 174 445 had 176 445 Flask 177 445 helped 179 445 himself, 181 445 the 182 445 chances 183 445 were 184 445 Ahab 186 445 had 187 445 never 188 445 so 189 445 much 191 445 as 192 445 noticed 193 445 it. 194 445 Least 196 445 of 197 445 all, 198 445 did 199 445 Flask 201 445 presume 202 445 to 203 445 help 204 445 himself 206 445 to 207 445 butter. 208 445 Whether 209 445 he 211 445 thought 212 445 the 213 445 owners 214 445 of 216 445 the 217 445 ship 218 445 denied 219 445 it 221 445 to 222 445 him, 223 445 on 224 445 account 226 445 of 227 445 its 228 445 clotting 229 445 his 231 445 clear, 232 445 sunny 233 445 complexion; 234 445 or 236 445 whether 237 445 he 238 445 deemed 239 445 that, 241 445 on 242 445 so 243 445 long 244 445 a 246 445 voyage 247 445 in 248 445 such 249 445 marketless 251 445 waters, 252 445 butter 253 445 was 254 445 at 256 445 a 257 445 premium, 258 445 and 259 445 therefore 261 445 was 262 445 not 263 445 for 264 445 him, 266 445 a 268 445 subaltern; 269 445 however 271 445 it 272 445 was, 273 445 Flask, 274 445 alas! 276 445 was 277 445 a 278 445 butterless 279 445 man! 281 445 Another 282 445 thing. 283 445 Flask 284 445 was 286 445 the 287 445 last 288 445 person 289 445 down 291 445 at 292 445 the 293 445 dinner, 294 445 and 296 445 Flask 297 445 is 298 445 the 299 445 first 301 445 man 302 445 up. 303 445 Consider! 304 445 For 306 445 hereby 307 445 Flask's 308 445 dinner 309 445 was 311 445 badly 312 445 jammed 313 445 in 314 445 point 316 445 of 317 445 time. 318 445 Starbuck 319 445 and 321 445 Stubb 322 445 both 323 445 had 324 445 the 326 445 start 327 445 of 328 445 him; 329 445 and 331 445 yet 332 445 they 333 445 also 334 445 have 336 445 the 337 445 privilege 338 445 of 339 445 lounging 341 445 in 342 445 the 343 445 rear. 344 445 If 346 445 Stubb 347 445 even, 348 445 who 349 445 is 351 445 but 352 445 a 353 445 peg 354 445 higher 357 445 than 358 445 Flask, 359 445 happens 361 445 to 362 445 have 363 445 but 364 445 a 366 445 small 367 445 appetite, 368 445 and 369 445 soon 371 445 shows 372 445 symptoms 373 445 of 374 445 concluding 376 445 his 377 445 repast, 378 445 then 379 445 Flask 381 445 must 382 445 bestir 383 445 himself, 384 445 he 386 445 will 387 445 not 388 445 get 389 445 more 391 445 than 392 445 three 393 445 mouthfuls 394 445 that 396 445 day; 397 445 for 398 445 it 399 445 is 401 445 against 402 445 holy 403 445 usage 404 445 for 406 445 Stubb 407 445 to 408 445 precede 409 445 Flask 411 445 to 412 445 the 413 445 deck. 414 445 Therefore 416 445 it 417 445 was 418 445 that 419 445 Flask 421 445 once 422 445 admitted 423 445 in 424 445 private, 426 445 that 427 445 ever 428 445 since 429 445 he 431 445 had 432 445 arisen 433 445 to 434 445 the 436 445 dignity 437 445 of 438 445 an 439 445 officer, 441 445 from 442 445 that 443 445 moment 444 445 he 1 446 had 3 446 never 5 446 known 7 446 what 9 446 it 11 446 was 13 446 to 15 446 be 17 446 otherwise 19 446 than 21 446 hungry, 23 446 more 25 446 or 27 446 less. 29 446 For 31 446 what 33 446 he 35 446 ate 37 446 did 39 446 not 41 446 so 43 446 much 45 446 relieve 47 446 his 49 446 hunger, 51 446 as 53 446 keep 55 446 it 57 446 immortal 59 446 in 61 446 him. 63 446 Peace 65 446 and 67 446 satisfaction, 69 446 thought 71 446 Flask, 73 446

446 there's 169 446 the 171 446 insanity 173 446 of 175 446 life! 177 446 Besides, 179 446 if 181 446 it 183 446 were 185 446 so 187 446 that 189 446 any 191 446 mere 193 446 sailor 195 446 of 197 446 the 199 446 Pequod 201 446 had 203 446 a 205 446 grudge 207 446 against 209 446 Flask 211 446 in 213 446 Flask's 215 446 official 217 446 capacity, 219 446 all 221 446 that 225 446 sailor 227 446 had 229 446 to 231 446 do, 233 446 in 235 446 order 237 446 to 239 446 obtain 241 446 ample 243 446 vengeance, 245 446 was 247 446 to 249 446 go 251 446 aft 253 446 at 255 446 dinner-time, 257 446 and 259 446 get 261 446 a 263 446 peep 265 446 at 267 446 Flask 269 446 through 271 446 the 273 446 cabin 275 446 sky-light, 277 446 sitting 279 446 silly 281 446 and 283 446 dumfoundered 285 446 before 287 446 awful 289 446 Ahab. 291 446 Now, 293 446 Ahab 295 446 and 297 446 his 299 446 three 301 446 mates 303 446 formed 305 446 what 307 446 may 309 446 be 311 446 called 313 446 the 315 446 first 317 446 table 319 446 in 321 446 the 323 446 Pequod's 325 446 cabin. 327 446 After 329 446 their 331 446 departure, 333 446 taking 335 446 place 337 446 in 339 446 inverted 341 446 order 343 446 to 345 446 their 347 446 arrival, 349 446 the 351 446 canvas 353 446 cloth 355 446 was 357 446 cleared, 359 446 or 361 446 rather 363 446 was 365 446 restored 367 446 to 369 446 some 371 446 hurried 373 446 order 375 446 by 377 446 the 379 446 pallid 381 446 steward. 383 446 And 385 446 then 387 446 the 389 446 three 391 446 harpooneers 393 446 were 395 446 bidden 397 446 to 399 446 the 401 446 feast, 403 446 they 405 446 being 407 446 its 409 446 residuary 411 446 legatees. 413 446 They 415 446 made 417 446 a 419 446 sort 421 446 of 423 446 temporary 425 446 servants' 427 446 hall 429 446 of 431 446 the 433 446 high 435 446 and 437 446 mighty 439 446 cabin. 441 446 In 443 446 strange 445 446 contrast 1 447 to 2 447 the 4 447 hardly 5 447 tolerable 7 447 constraint 8 447 and 10 447 nameless 11 447 invisible 13 447 domineerings 14 447 of 16 447 the 17 447 captain's 19 447 table, 20 447 was 22 447 the 23 447 entire 25 447 care-free 26 447 license 28 447 and 29 447 ease, 31 447 the 32 447 almost 34 447 frantic 35 447 democracy 37 447 of 38 447 those 40 447 inferior 41 447 fellows 43 447 the 44 447 harpooneers. 46 447 While 47 447 their 49 447 masters, 50 447 the 52 447 mates, 53 447 seemed 55 447 afraid 56 447 of 58 447 the 59 447 sound 61 447 of 62 447 the 64 447 hinges 65 447 of 67 447 their 68 447 own 70 447 jaws, 71 447 the 73 447 harpooneers 74 447 chewed 76 447 their 77 447 food 79 447 with 80 447 such 82 447 a 83 447 relish 85 447 that 86 447 there 88 447 was 89 447 a 91 447 report 92 447 to 94 447 it. 95 447 They 97 447 dined 98 447 like 100 447 lords; 101 447 they 103 447 filled 104 447 their 106 447 bellies 107 447 like 109 447 Indian 110 447 ships 112 447 all 113 447 day 115 447 loading 116 447 with 118 447 spices. 119 447 Such 121 447 portentous 122 447 appetites 124 447 had 125 447 Queequeg 127 447 and 128 447 Tashtego, 130 447 that 131 447 to 133 447 fill 134 447 out 136 447 the 137 447 vacancies 139 447 made 140 447 by 142 447 the 143 447 previous 145 447 repast, 146 447 often 148 447 the 151 447 pale 152 447 Dough-Boy 154 447 was 155 447 fain 157 447 to 158 447 bring 160 447 on 161 447 a 163 447 great 164 447 baron 166 447 of 167 447 salt-junk, 169 447 seemingly 170 447 quarried 172 447 out 173 447 of 175 447 the 176 447 solid 178 447 ox. 179 447 And 181 447 if 182 447 he 184 447 were 185 447 not 187 447 lively 188 447 about 190 447 it, 191 447 if 193 447 he 194 447 did 196 447 not 197 447 go 199 447 with 200 447 a 202 447 nimble 203 447 hop-skip-and-jump, 205 447 then 206 447 Tashtego 208 447 had 209 447 an 211 447 ungentlemanly 212 447 way 214 447 of 215 447 accelerating 217 447 him 218 447 by 220 447 darting 221 447 a 223 447 fork 224 447 at 226 447 his 227 447 back, 229 447 harpoon-wise. 230 447 And 232 447 once 233 447 Daggoo, 235 447 seized 236 447 with 238 447 a 239 447 sudden 241 447 humor, 242 447 assisted 244 447 Dough-Boy's 245 447 memory 247 447 by 248 447 snatching 250 447 him 251 447 up 253 447 bodily, 254 447 and 256 447 thrusting 257 447 his 259 447 head 260 447 into 262 447 a 263 447 great 265 447 empty 266 447 wooden 268 447 trencher, 269 447 while 271 447 Tashtego, 272 447 knife 274 447 in 275 447 hand, 277 447 began 278 447 laying 280 447 out 281 447 the 283 447 circle 284 447 preliminary 286 447 to 287 447 scalping 289 447 him. 290 447 He 292 447 was 293 447 naturally 295 447 a 296 447 very 299 447 nervous, 301 447 shuddering 302 447 sort 304 447 of 305 447 little 307 447 fellow, 308 447 this 310 447 bread-faced 311 447 steward; 313 447 the 314 447 progeny 316 447 of 317 447 a 319 447 bankrupt 320 447 baker 322 447 and 323 447 a 325 447 hospital 326 447 nurse. 328 447 And 329 447 what 331 447 with 332 447 the 334 447 standing 335 447 spectacle 337 447 of 338 447 the 340 447 black 341 447 terrific 343 447 Ahab, 344 447 and 346 447 the 347 447 periodical 349 447 tumultuous 350 447 visitations 352 447 of 353 447 these 355 447 three 356 447 savages, 358 447 Dough-Boy's 359 447 whole 361 447 life 362 447 was 364 447 one 365 447 continual 367 447 lip-quiver. 368 447 Commonly, 370 447 after 371 447 seeing 373 447 the 374 447 harpooneers 376 447 furnished 377 447 with 379 447 all 380 447 things 382 447 they 383 447 demanded, 385 447 he 386 447 would 388 447 escape 389 447 from 391 447 their 392 447 clutches 394 447 into 395 447 his 397 447 little 398 447 pantry 400 447 adjoining, 401 447 and 403 447 fearfully 404 447 peep 406 447 out 407 447 at 409 447 them 410 447 through 412 447 the 413 447 blinds 415 447 of 416 447 its 418 447 door, 419 447 till 421 447 all 422 447 was 424 447 over. 425 447 It 427 447 was 428 447 a 430 447 sight 431 447 to 433 447 see 434 447 Queequeg 436 447 seated 437 447 over 439 447 against 440 447 Tashtego, 442 447 opposing 443 447 his 445 447 filed 446 447 teeth 1 448 to 3 448 the 5 448 Indian's: 9 448 crosswise 11 448 to 13 448 them, 15 448 Daggoo 17 448 seated 19 448 on 23 448 the 25 448 floor, 27 448 for 29 448 a 31 448 bench 33 448 would 37 448 have 39 448 brought 41 448 his 43 448 hearse-plumed 45 448 head 47 448 to 51 448 the 53 448 low 55 448 carlines; 57 448 at 59 448 every 61 448 motion 65 448 of 67 448 his 69 448 colossal 71 448 limbs, 73 448 making 75 448 the 79 448 low 81 448 cabin 83 448 framework 85 448 to 87 448 shake, 89 448 as 93 448 when 95 448 an 97 448 African 99 448 elephant 101 448 goes 103 448 passenger 107 448 in 109 448 a 111 448 ship. 113 448 But 115 448 for 117 448 all 121 448 this, 123 448 the 125 448 great 127 448 negro 129 448 was 131 448 wonderfully 135 448 abstemious, 137 448 not 139 448 to 141 448 say 143 448 dainty. 145 448 It 149 448 seemed 151 448 hardly 153 448 possible 155 448 that 157 448 by 159 448 such 163 448 comparatively 165 448 small 167 448 mouthfuls 169 448 he 171 448 could 173 448 keep 177 448 up 179 448 the 181 448 vitality 183 448 diffused 185 448 through 187 448 so 191 448 broad, 193 448 baronial, 195 448 and 197 448 superb 199 448 a 201 448 person. 205 448 But, 207 448 doubtless, 209 448 this 211 448 noble 213 448 savage 215 448 fed 219 448 strong 221 448 and 223 448 drank 225 448 deep 227 448 of 229 448 the 233 448 abounding 235 448 element 237 448 of 239 448 air; 241 448 and 243 448 through 247 448 his 249 448 dilated 251 448 nostrils 253 448 snuffed 255 448 in 257 448 the 261 448 sublime 263 448 life 265 448 of 267 448 the 269 448 worlds. 271 448 Not 275 448 by 277 448 beef 279 448 or 281 448 by 283 448 bread, 285 448 are 289 448 giants 291 448 made 293 448 or 295 448 nourished. 297 448 But 299 448 Queequeg, 303 448 he 305 448 had 307 448 a 309 448 mortal, 311 448 barbaric 313 448 smack 317 448 of 319 448 the 321 448 lip 323 448 in 325 448 eating--an 327 448 ugly 331 448 sound 333 448 enough--so 335 448 much 337 448 so, 339 448 that 341 448 the 345 448 trembling 347 448 Dough-Boy 349 448 almost 351 448 looked 353 448 to 355 448 see 359 448 whether 361 448 any 363 448 marks 365 448 of 367 448 teeth 369 448 lurked 373 448 in 375 448 his 377 448 own 379 448 lean 381 448 arms. 383 448 And 387 448 when 389 448 he 391 448 would 393 448 hear 395 448 Tashtego 397 448 singing 401 448 out 403 448 for 405 448 him 407 448 to 409 448 produce 411 448 himself, 415 448 that 417 448 his 419 448 bones 421 448 might 423 448 be 425 448 picked, 429 448 the 431 448 simple-witted 433 448 steward 435 448 all 437 448 but 439 448 shattered 443 448 the 445 448 crockery 447 448 hanging 1 449 round 2 449 him 3 449 in 4 449 the 5 449 pantry, 6 449 by 7 449 his 8 449 sudden 9 449 fits 10 449 of 11 449 the 12 449 palsy. 13 449 Nor 14 449 did 15 449 the 16 449 whetstone 17 449 which 18 449 the 19 449 harpooneers 20 449 carried 21 449 in 22 449 their 23 449 pockets, 24 449 for 25 449 their 26 449 lances 27 449 and 28 449 other 29 449 weapons; 30 449 and 31 449 with 32 449 which 33 449 whetstones, 34 449 at 35 449 dinner, 36 449 they 37 449 would 38 449 ostentatiously 39 449 sharpen 40 449 their 41 449 knives; 42 449 that 43 449 grating 44 449 sound 45 449 did 46 449 not 47 449 at 48 449 all 49 449 tend 50 449 to 51 449 tranquillize 52 449 poor 53 449 Dough-Boy. 54 449 How 55 449 could 56 449 he 57 449 forget 58 449 that 59 449 in 60 449 his 61 449 Island 62 449 days, 63 449 Queequeg, 64 449 for 65 449 one, 66 449 must 67 449 certainly 68 449 have 69 449 been 70 449 guilty 71 449 of 72 449 some 73 449 murderous, 74 449 convivial 75 449 indiscretions. 76 449 Alas! 77 449 Dough-Boy! 78 449 hard 79 449 fares 80 449 the 81 449 white 82 449 waiter 83 449 who 84 449 waits 85 449 upon 86 449 cannibals. 87 449 Not 88 449 a 89 449 napkin 90 449 should 91 449 he 92 449 carry 93 449 on 94 449 his 95 449 arm, 96 449 but 97 449 a 98 449 buckler. 99 449 In 100 449 good 101 449 time, 102 449 though, 103 449 to 104 449 his 105 449 great 106 449 delight, 107 449 the 108 449 three 109 449 salt-sea 110 449 warriors 111 449 would 112 449 rise 113 449 and 114 449 depart; 115 449 to 116 449 his 117 449 credulous, 118 449 fable-mongering 119 449 ears, 120 449 all 121 449 their 122 449 martial 123 449 bones 124 449 jingling 125 449 in 126 449 them 127 449 at 128 449 every 129 449 step, 130 449 like 131 449 Moorish 132 449 scimetars 133 449 in 134 449 scabbards. 135 449 But, 136 449 though 137 449 these 138 449 barbarians 139 449 dined 140 449 in 141 449 the 142 449 cabin, 143 449 and 144 449 nominally 145 449 lived 146 449 there; 147 449 still, 148 449 being 149 449 anything 150 449 but 151 449 sedentary 152 449 in 153 449 their 154 449 habits, 155 449 they 156 449 were 157 449 scarcely 158 449 ever 159 449 in 160 449 it 161 449 except 162 449 at 163 449 mealtimes, 164 449 and 165 449 just 166 449 before 167 449 sleeping-time, 168 449 when 169 449 they 170 449 passed 171 449 through 172 449 it 173 449 to 174 449 their 175 449 own 176 449 peculiar 177 449 quarters. 178 449 In 179 449 this 180 449 one 181 449 matter, 182 449 Ahab 183 449 seemed 184 449 no 185 449 exception 186 449 to 187 449 most 188 449 American 189 449 whale 190 449 captains, 191 449 who, 192 449 as 193 449 a 194 449 set, 195 449 rather 196 449 incline 197 449 to 198 449 the 199 449 opinion 200 449 that 201 449 by 202 449 rights 203 449 the 204 449 ship's 205 449 cabin 206 449 belongs 207 449 to 208 449 them; 209 449 and 210 449 that 211 449 it 212 449 is 213 449 by 214 449 courtesy 215 449 alone 216 449 that 217 449 anybody 218 449 else 219 449 is, 220 449 at 221 449 any 222 449 time, 223 449 permitted 224 449 there. 225 449 So 226 449 that, 227 449 in 228 449 real 229 449 truth, 230 449 the 231 449 mates 232 449 and 233 449 harpooneers 234 449 of 235 449 the 236 449 Pequod 237 449 might 238 449 more 239 449 properly 240 449 be 241 449 said 242 449 to 243 449 have 244 449 lived 245 449 out 246 449 of 247 449 the 248 449 cabin 249 449 than 250 449 in 251 449 it. 252 449 For 253 449 when 254 449 they 255 449 did 256 449 enter 257 449 it, 258 449 it 259 449 was 260 449 something 261 449 as 262 449 a 263 449 street-door 264 449 enters 265 449 a 266 449 house; 267 449 turning 268 449 inwards 269 449 for 270 449 a 271 449 moment, 272 449 only 273 449 to 274 449 be 275 449 turned 276 449 out 277 449 the 278 449 next; 279 449 and, 280 449 as 281 449 a 282 449 permanent 283 449 thing, 284 449 residing 285 449 in 286 449 the 287 449 open 288 449 air. 289 449 Nor 290 449 did 291 449 they 292 449 lose 293 449 much 294 449 hereby; 295 449 in 296 449 the 297 449 cabin 298 449 was 299 449 no 300 449 companionship; 301 449 socially, 302 449 Ahab 303 449 was 304 449 inaccessible. 305 449 Though 306 449 nominally 307 449 included 308 449 in 309 449 the 310 449 census 311 449 of 312 449 Christendom, 313 449 he 314 449 was 315 449 still 316 449 an 317 449 alien 318 449 to 319 449 it. 320 449 He 321 449 lived 322 449 in 323 449 the 324 449 world, 325 449 as 326 449 the 327 449 last 328 449 of 329 449 the 330 449 Grisly 331 449 Bears 332 449 lived 333 449 in 334 449 settled 335 449 Missouri. 336 449 And 337 449 as 338 449 when 339 449 Spring 340 449 and 341 449 Summer 342 449 had 343 449 departed, 344 449 that 345 449 wild 346 449 Logan 347 449 of 348 449 the 349 449 woods, 350 449 burying 351 449 himself 352 449 in 353 449 the 354 449 hollow 355 449 of 356 449 a 357 449 tree, 358 449 lived 359 449 out 360 449 the 361 449 winter 362 449 there, 363 449 sucking 364 449 his 365 449 own 366 449 paws; 367 449 so, 368 449 in 369 449 his 370 449 inclement, 371 449 howling 372 449 old 373 449 age, 374 449 Ahab's 375 449 soul, 376 449 shut 377 449 up 378 449 in 379 449 the 380 449 caved 381 449 trunk 382 449 of 383 449 his 384 449 body, 385 449 there 386 449 fed 387 449 upon 388 449 the 389 449 sullen 390 449 paws 391 449 of 392 449 its 393 449 gloom! 394 449 CHAPTER 395 449 35 396 449 The 397 449 Mast-Head. 398 449 It 399 449 was 400 449 during 401 449 the 402 449 more 403 449 pleasant 404 449 weather, 405 449 that 406 449 in 407 449 due 408 449 rotation 409 449 with 410 449 the 411 449 other 412 449 seamen 413 449 my 414 449 first 415 449 mast-head 416 449 came 417 449 round. 418 449 In 419 449 most 420 449 American 421 449 whalemen 422 449 the 423 449 mast-heads 424 449 are 425 449 manned 426 449 almost 427 449 simultaneously 428 449 with 429 449 the 430 449 vessel's 431 449 leaving 432 449 her 433 449 port; 434 449 even 435 449 though 436 449 she 437 449 may 438 449 have 439 449 fifteen 440 449 thousand 441 449 miles, 442 449 and 443 449 more, 444 449 to 445 449 sail 446 449 ere 447 449 reaching 448 449 her 1 450 proper 7 450 cruising 11 450 ground. 13 450 And 17 450 if, 19 450 after 23 450 a 29 450 three, 31 450 four, 37 450 or 41 450 five 43 450 years' 47 450 voyage 49 450 she 53 450 is 59 450 drawing 61 450 nigh 67 450 home 71 450 with 73 450 anything 77 450 empty 79 450 in 83 450 her--say, 89 450 an 91 450 empty 97 450 vial 101 450 even--then, 103 450 her 107 450 mast-heads 109 450 are 113 450 kept 119 450 manned 121 450 to 127 450 the 131 450 last; 133 450 and 137 450 not 139 450 till 143 450 her 149 450 skysail-poles 151 450 sail 157 450 in 161 450 among 163 450 the 167 450 spires 169 450 of 173 450 the 179 450 port, 181 450 does 187 450 she 191 450 altogether 193 450 relinquish 197 450 the 199 450 hope 203 450 of 209 450 capturing 211 450 one 217 450 whale 221 450 more. 223 450 Now, 227 450 as 229 450 the 233 450 business 239 450 of 241 450 standing 247 450 mast-heads, 251 450 ashore 253 450 or 257 450 afloat, 259 450 is 263 450 a 269 450 very 271 450 ancient 277 450 and 281 450 interesting 283 450 one, 287 450 let 289 450 us 293 450 in 299 450 some 301 450 measure 307 450 expatiate 311 450 here. 313 450 I 317 450 take 319 450 it, 323 450 that 329 450 the 331 450 earliest 337 450 standers 341 450 of 343 450 mast-heads 347 450 were 349 450 the 353 450 old 359 450 Egyptians; 361 450 because, 367 450 in 371 450 all 373 450 my 377 450 researches, 379 450 I 383 450 find 389 450 none 391 450 prior 397 450 to 401 450 them. 403 450 For 407 450 though 409 450 their 413 450 progenitors, 419 450 the 421 450 builders 427 450 of 431 450 Babel, 433 450 must 437 450 doubtless, 439 450 by 443 450 their 449 450 tower, 1 451 have 2 451 intended 3 451 to 4 451 rear 5 451 the 6 451 loftiest 7 451 mast-head 8 451 in 9 451 all 10 451 Asia, 12 451 or 13 451 Africa 14 451 either; 15 451 yet 16 451 (ere 17 451 the 18 451 final 19 451 truck 20 451 was 21 451 put 23 451 to 24 451 it) 25 451 as 26 451 that 27 451 great 28 451 stone 29 451 mast 30 451 of 31 451 theirs 32 451 may 34 451 be 35 451 said 36 451 to 37 451 have 38 451 gone 39 451 by 40 451 the 42 451 board, 43 451 in 45 451 the 46 451 dread 47 451 gale 48 451 of 49 451 God's 50 451 wrath; 51 451 therefore, 52 451 we 53 451 cannot 54 451 give 56 451 these 57 451 Babel 58 451 builders 59 451 priority 60 451 over 61 451 the 62 451 Egyptians. 63 451 And 64 451 that 65 451 the 67 451 Egyptians 68 451 were 69 451 a 70 451 nation 71 451 of 72 451 mast-head 73 451 standers, 74 451 is 75 451 an 76 451 assertion 78 451 based 79 451 upon 80 451 the 81 451 general 83 451 belief 84 451 among 85 451 archaeologists, 86 451 that 87 451 the 89 451 first 90 451 pyramids 91 451 were 92 451 founded 93 451 for 94 451 astronomical 95 451 purposes: 96 451 a 97 451 theory 98 451 singularly 100 451 supported 101 451 by 102 451 the 103 451 peculiar 104 451 stair-like 105 451 formation 106 451 of 107 451 all 108 451 four 109 451 sides 111 451 of 112 451 those 113 451 edifices; 114 451 whereby, 115 451 with 116 451 prodigious 117 451 long 118 451 upliftings 119 451 of 120 451 their 122 451 legs, 124 451 those 125 451 old 126 451 astronomers 127 451 were 128 451 wont 129 451 to 130 451 mount 131 451 to 133 451 the 134 451 apex, 135 451 and 136 451 sing 137 451 out 138 451 for 139 451 new 140 451 stars; 141 451 even 142 451 as 144 451 the 145 451 look-outs 146 451 of 147 451 a 148 451 modern 149 451 ship 150 451 sing 151 451 out 152 451 for 153 451 a 155 451 sail, 156 451 or 157 451 a 158 451 whale 159 451 just 160 451 bearing 161 451 in 162 451 sight. 163 451 In 166 451 Saint 167 451 Stylites, 168 451 the 169 451 famous 170 451 Christian 171 451 hermit 172 451 of 173 451 old 174 451 times, 175 451 who 177 451 built 178 451 him 179 451 a 180 451 lofty 181 451 stone 182 451 pillar 183 451 in 184 451 the 185 451 desert 186 451 and 188 451 spent 189 451 the 190 451 whole 191 451 latter 192 451 portion 193 451 of 194 451 his 195 451 life 196 451 on 197 451 its 199 451 summit, 200 451 hoisting 201 451 his 202 451 food 203 451 from 204 451 the 206 451 ground 207 451 with 208 451 a 210 451 tackle; 211 451 in 212 451 him 213 451 we 214 451 have 215 451 a 216 451 remarkable 217 451 instance 218 451 of 219 451 a 221 451 dauntless 222 451 stander-of-mast-heads; 223 451 who 224 451 was 225 451 not 226 451 to 227 451 be 228 451 driven 229 451 from 230 451 his 232 451 place 233 451 by 234 451 fogs 235 451 or 236 451 frosts, 237 451 rain, 238 451 hail, 239 451 or 240 451 sleet; 241 451 but 243 451 valiantly 244 451 facing 245 451 everything 247 451 out 248 451 to 249 451 the 250 451 last, 251 451 literally 252 451 died 254 451 at 255 451 his 256 451 post. 257 451 Of 258 451 modern 259 451 standers-of-mast-heads 260 451 we 261 451 have 262 451 but 263 451 a 265 451 lifeless 266 451 set; 267 451 mere 268 451 stone, 269 451 iron, 270 451 and 271 451 bronze 272 451 men; 273 451 who, 274 451 though 276 451 well 277 451 capable 278 451 of 279 451 facing 280 451 out 281 451 a 282 451 stiff 283 451 gale, 284 451 are 285 451 still 288 451 entirely 289 451 incompetent 290 451 to 291 451 the 292 451 business 293 451 of 294 451 singing 295 451 out 296 451 upon 298 451 discovering 299 451 any 300 451 strange 301 451 sight. 302 451 There 303 451 is 304 451 Napoleon; 305 451 who, 306 451 upon 307 451 the 309 451 top 310 451 of 311 451 the 312 451 column 313 451 of 314 451 Vendome, 315 451 stands 316 451 with 317 451 arms 318 451 folded, 320 451 some 321 451 one 322 451 hundred 323 451 and 324 451 fifty 325 451 feet 326 451 in 327 451 the 329 451 air; 331 451 careless, 332 451 now, 333 451 who 334 451 rules 335 451 the 336 451 decks 337 451 below; 338 451 whether 339 451 Louis 340 451 Philippe, 342 451 Louis 343 451 Blanc, 344 451 or 345 451 Louis 346 451 the 347 451 Devil. 348 451 Great 349 451 Washington, 350 451 too, 351 451 stands 353 451 high 354 451 aloft 355 451 on 356 451 his 357 451 towering 358 451 main-mast 359 451 in 360 451 Baltimore, 361 451 and 362 451 like 364 451 one 365 451 of 366 451 Hercules' 367 451 pillars, 368 451 his 370 451 column 371 451 marks 372 451 that 373 451 point 375 451 of 376 451 human 377 451 grandeur 378 451 beyond 379 451 which 380 451 few 381 451 mortals 382 451 will 383 451 go. 384 451 Admiral 386 451 Nelson, 387 451 also, 388 451 on 389 451 a 390 451 capstan 391 451 of 392 451 gun-metal, 393 451 stands 394 451 his 395 451 mast-head 397 451 in 398 451 Trafalgar 399 451 Square; 400 451 and 401 451 ever 402 451 when 403 451 most 404 451 obscured 405 451 by 406 451 that 408 451 London 409 451 smoke, 411 451 token 412 451 is 413 451 yet 414 451 given 415 451 that 416 451 a 417 451 hidden 419 451 hero 420 451 is 421 451 there; 422 451 for 423 451 where 424 451 there 425 451 is 426 451 smoke, 427 451 must 428 451 be 430 451 fire. 431 451 But 432 451 neither 433 451 great 434 451 Washington, 435 451 nor 436 451 Napoleon, 437 451 nor 438 451 Nelson, 439 451 will 441 451 answer 442 451 a 443 451 single 444 451 hail 445 451 from 446 451 below, 447 451 however 448 451 madly 449 451 invoked 450 451 to 1 452 befriend 3 452 by 5 452 their 7 452 counsels 9 452 the 11 452 distracted 13 452 decks 15 452 upon 17 452 which 19 452 they 21 452 gaze; 23 452 however 25 452 it 27 452 may 29 452 be 31 452 surmised, 33 452 that 35 452 their 37 452 spirits 39 452 penetrate 41 452 through 43 452 the 45 452 thick 47 452 haze 49 452 of 51 452 the 53 452 future, 55 452 and 57 452 descry 59 452 what 61 452 shoals 63 452 and 65 452 what 67 452 rocks 69 452 must 71 452 be 73 452 shunned. 75 452 It 77 452 may 79 452 seem 81 452 unwarrantable 83 452 to 85 452 couple 87 452 in 89 452 any 91 452 respect 93 452 the 95 452 mast-head 97 452 standers 99 452 of 101 452 the 103 452 land 105 452 with 107 452 those 109 452 of 111 452 the 115 452 sea; 117 452 but 119 452 that 121 452 in 123 452 truth 125 452 it 127 452 is 129 452 not 131 452 so, 133 452 is 135 452 plainly 137 452 evinced 139 452 by 141 452 an 143 452 item 145 452 for 147 452 which 149 452 Obed 151 452 Macy, 153 452 the 155 452 sole 157 452 historian 159 452 of 161 452 Nantucket, 163 452 stands 165 452 accountable. 167 452 The 169 452 worthy 171 452 Obed 173 452 tells 175 452 us, 177 452 that 179 452 in 181 452 the 183 452 early 185 452 times 187 452 of 189 452 the 191 452 whale 193 452 fishery, 195 452 ere 197 452 ships 199 452 were 201 452 regularly 203 452 launched 205 452 in 207 452 pursuit 209 452 of 211 452 the 213 452 game, 215 452 the 217 452 people 219 452 of 221 452 that 223 452 island 225 452 erected 227 452 lofty 229 452 spars 231 452 along 233 452 the 235 452 sea-coast, 237 452 to 239 452 which 241 452 the 243 452 look-outs 245 452 ascended 247 452 by 249 452 means 251 452 of 253 452 nailed 255 452 cleats, 257 452 something 259 452 as 261 452 fowls 263 452 go 265 452 upstairs 267 452 in 269 452 a 271

plainly 451 455 a 452 455 labor 453 455 of 454 455 love 1 456 for 5 456 Captain 7 456 Sleet 11 456 to 13 456 describe, 17 456 as 23 456 he 25 456 does, 29 456 all 31 456 the 35 456 little 37 456 detailed 41 456 conveniences 43 456 of 47 456 his 49 456 crow's-nest; 53 456 but 55 456 though 59 456 he 61 456 so 65 456 enlarges 67 456 upon 71 456 many 73 456 of 77 456 these, 79 456 and 83 456 though 85 456 he 89 456 treats 91 456 us 97 456 to 101 456 a 103 456 very 107 456 scientific 109 456 account 113 456 of 115 456 his 119 456 experiments 121 456 in 125 456 this 127 456 crow's-nest, 131 456 with 137 456 a 139 456 small 143 456 compass 145 456 he 149 456 kept 151 456 there 155 456 for 157 456 the 161 456 purpose 163 456 of 167 456 counteracting 169 456 the 173 456 errors 175 456 resulting 179 456 from 181 456 what 185 456 is 187 456 called 191 456 the 193 456 "local 197 456 attraction" 199 456 of 203 456 all 205 456 binnacle 211 456 magnets; 215 456 an 217 456 error 221 456 ascribable 223 456 to 227 456 the 229 456 horizontal 233 456 vicinity 235 456 of 239 456 the 241 456 iron 245 456 in 251 456 the 253 456 ship's 257 456 planks, 259 456 and 263 456 in 265 456 the 269 456 Glacier's 271 456 case, 275 456 perhaps, 277 456 to 281 456 there 283 456 having 287 456 been 289 456 so 293 456 many 295 456 broken-down 299 456 blacksmiths 301 456 among 305 456 her 307 456 crew; 311 456 I 313 456 say, 317 456 that 319 456 though 325 456 the 329 456 Captain 331 456 is 335 456 very 337 456 discreet 341 456 and 343 456 scientific 347 456 here, 349 456 yet, 353 456 for 355 456 all 359 456 his 365 456 learned 367 456 "binnacle 371 456 deviations," 373 456 "azimuth 377 456 compass 379 456 observations," 383 456 and 385 456 "approximate 389 456 errors," 391 456 he 395 456 knows 397 456 very 401 456 well, 403 456 Captain 407 456 Sleet, 409 456 that 413 456 he 415 456 was 419 456 not 421 456 so 425 456 much 427 456 immersed 431 456 in 433 456 those 439 456 profound 443 456 magnetic 445 456 meditations, 449 456 as 451 456 to 455 456 fail 1 457 being 2 457 attracted 3 457 occasionally 4 457 towards 5 457 that 6 457 well 7 457 replenished 8 457 little 9 457 case-bottle, 10 457 so 11 457 nicely 12 457 tucked 13 457 in 14 457 on 15 457 one 16 457 side 17 457 of 18 457 his 19 457 crow's 20 457 nest, 21 457 within 22 457 easy 23 457 reach 24 457 of 25 457 his 26 457 hand. 27 457 Though, 28 457 upon 29 457 the 30 457 whole, 31 457 I 32 457 greatly 33 457 admire 34 457 and 35 457 even 36 457 love 37 457 the 38 457 brave, 39 457 the 40 457 honest, 41 457 and 42 457 learned 43 457 Captain; 44 457 yet 45 457 I 46 457 take 47 457 it 48 457 very 49 457 ill 50 457 of 51 457 him 52 457 that 53 457 he 54 457 should 55 457 so 56 457 utterly 57 457 ignore 58 457 that 59 457 case-bottle, 60 457 seeing 61 457 what 62 457 a 63 457 faithful 64 457 friend 65 457 and 66 457 comforter 67 457 it 68 457 must 69 457 have 70 457 been, 71 457 while 72 457 with 73 457 mittened 74 457 fingers 75 457 and 76 457 hooded 77 457 head 78 457 he 79 457 was 80 457 studying 81 457 the 82 457 mathematics 83 457 aloft 84 457 there 85 457 in 86 457 that 87 457 bird's 88 457

457 so 105 457 snugly 106 457 housed 107 457 aloft 108 457 as 109 457 Captain 110 457 Sleet 111 457 and 112 457 his 113 457 Greenlandmen 114 457 were; 115 457 yet 116 457 that 117 457 disadvantage 118 457 is 119 457 greatly 120 457 counter-balanced 121 457 by 122 457 the 123 457 widely 124 457 contrasting 125 457 serenity 126 457 of 127 457 those 128 457 seductive 129 457 seas 130 457 in 131 457 which 132 457 we 133 457 South 134 457 fishers 135 457 mostly 136 457 float. 137 457 For 138 457 one, 139 457 I 140 457 used 141 457 to 142 457 lounge 143 457 up 144 457 the 145 457 rigging 146 457 very 147 457 leisurely, 148 457 resting 149 457 in 150 457 the 151 457 top 152 457 to 153 457 have 154 457 a 155 457 chat 156 457 with 157 457 Queequeg, 158 457 or 159 457 any 160 457 one 161 457 else

457 these 352 457 monitions 353 457 at 354 457 all 355 457 unneeded. 356 457 For 357 457 nowadays, 358 457 the 359 457 whale-fishery 360 457 furnishes 361 457 an 362 457 asylum 363 457 for 364 457

young 433 457 philosophers 434 457 to 435 457 task, 436 457 upbraiding 437 457 them 438 457 with 439 457 not 440 457 feeling 441 457 sufficient 442 457 "interest" 443 457 in 444 457 the 445 457

39 458 young 41 458 Platonists 43 458 have 45 458 a 47 458 notion 49 458 that 51 458 their 53 458 vision 55 458 is 57 458 imperfect; 59 458 they 61 458 are 63 458 short-sighted; 65 458 what 67 458 use, 69 458 then, 71 458 to 73 458 strain 75 458 the 77 458 visual 79 458 nerve? 81 458 They 83 458 have 85 458 left 87 458 their 89 458 opera-glasses 91 458 at 93 458 home. 95 458 "Why, 97 458 thou

10 459 life 11 459 imparted 13 459 by 14 459 a 16 459 gently 19 459 rolling 20 459 ship; 22 459 by 23 459 her, 25 459 borrowed 26 459 from 28 459 the 29 459 sea; 31 459 by 32 459 the 35 459 sea, 37 459 from 38 459 the 40 459 inscrutable 41 459 tides 43 459 of 44 459 God. 46 459 But 47 459 while 49 459 this 50 459 sleep, 52 459 this 53 459 dream 55 459 is 56 459 on 58 459 ye, 59 459 move 61 459 your 62 459 foot 64 459 or 65 459 hand 67 459 an 70 459 inch; 71 459 slip 73 459 your 74 459 hold 76 459 at 77 459 all; 79 459 and 80 459 your 82 459 identity 83 459 comes 86 459 back 88 459 in 89 459 horror. 91 459 Over 92 459 Descartian 94 459 vortices 95 459 you 97 459 hover. 98 459 And 100 459 perhaps, 101 459 at 103 459 mid-day, 104 459 in 106 459 the 107 459 fairest 109 459 weather, 110 459 with 112 459 one 113 459 half-throttled 115 459 shriek 116 459 you 118 459 drop 121 459 through 122 459 that 124 459 transparent 125 459 air 127 459 into 128 459 the 130 459 summer 131 459 sea, 133 459 no 134 459 more 137 459 to 139 459 rise 140 459 for 142 459 ever. 143 459 Heed 145 459 it 146 459 well, 148 459 ye 149 459 Pantheists! 151 459 CHAPTER 152 459 36 154 459 The 155 459 Quarter-Deck. 157 459 (ENTER 158 459 AHAB: 160 459 THEN, 161 459 ALL) 163 459 It 164 459 was 166 459 not 167 459 a 169 459 great 172 459 while 173 459 after 175 459 the 176 459 affair 178 459 of 179 459 the 181 459 pipe, 182 459 that 184 459 one 185 459 morning 188 459 shortly 190 459 after 191 459 breakfast, 193 459 Ahab, 194 459 as 196 459 was 197 459 his 199 459 wont, 200 459 ascended 202 459 the 203 459 cabin-gangway 205 459 to 206 459 the 208 459 deck. 209 459 There 211 459 most 212 459 sea-captains 214 459 usually 215 459 walk 217 459 at 218 459 that 220 459 hour, 223 459 as 224 459 country 226 459 gentlemen, 227 459 after 229 459 the 230 459 same 232 459 meal, 233 459 take 235 459 a 236 459 few 239 459 turns 241 459 in 242 459 the 244 459 garden. 245 459 Soon 247 459 his 248 459 steady, 250 459 ivory 251 459 stride 253 459 was 254 459 heard, 256 459 as 257 459 to 259 459 and 260 459 fro 262 459 he 263 459 paced 265 459 his 266 459 old 268 459 rounds, 269 459 upon 271 459 planks 274 459 so 275 459 familiar 277 459 to 278 459 his 280 459 tread, 281 459 that 283 459 they 284 459 were 286 459 all 287 459 over 290 459 dented, 292 459 like 293 459 geological 295 459 stones, 296 459 with 298 459 the 299 459 peculiar 301 459 mark 302 459 of 304 459 his 305 459 walk. 307 459 Did 308 459 you 310 459 fixedly 311 459 gaze, 313 459 too, 314 459 upon 316 459 that 317 459 ribbed 319 459 and 320 459 dented 322 459 brow; 325 459 there 326 459 also, 328 459 you 329 459 would 331 459 see 332 459 still 334 459 stranger 335 459 foot-prints--the 337 459 foot-prints 338 459 of 341 459 his 343 459 one 344 459 unsleeping, 346 459 ever-pacing 347 459 thought. 349 459 But 350 459 on 352 459 the 353 459 occasion 355 459 in 356 459 question, 358 459 those 359 459 dents 361 459 looked 362 459 deeper, 364 459 even 365 459 as 367 459 his 368 459 nervous 370 459 step 371 459 that 373 459 morning 376 459 left 377 459 a 379 459 deeper 380 459 mark. 382 459 And, 383 459 so 385 459 full 386 459 of 388 459 his 389 459 thought 392 459 was 394 459 Ahab, 395 459 that 397 459 at 398 459 every 400 459 uniform 401 459 turn 403 459 that 404 459 he 406 459 made, 407 459 now 409 459 at 410 459 the 412 459 main-mast 413 459 and 415 459 now 416 459 at 418 459 the 419 459 binnacle, 421 459 you 422 459 could 424 459 almost 427 459 see 428 459 that 430 459 thought 431 459 turn 433 459 in 434 459 him 436 459 as 437 459 he 439 459 turned, 440 459 and 443 459 pace 445 459 in 446 459 him 448 459 as 449 459 he 451 459 paced; 452 459 so 454 459 completely 455 459 possessing 457 459 him, 458 459 indeed, 1 460 that 3 460 it 7 460 all 9 460 but 11 460 seemed 13 460 the 17 460 inward 19 460 mould 21 460 of 27 460 every 29 460 outer 31 460 movement. 33 460 "D'ye 37 460 mark 39 460 him, 41 460 Flask?" 43 460 whispered 47 460 Stubb; 49 460 "the 51 460 chick 53 460 that's 57 460 in 59 460 him 61 460 pecks 63 460 the 67 460 shell. 71 460 'Twill 73 460 soon 77 460 be 79 460 out." 81 460 The 83 460 hours 87 460 wore 89 460 on;--Ahab 91 460 now 93 460 shut 97 460 up 99 460 within 101 460 his 103 460 cabin; 107 460 anon, 109 460 pacing 111 460 the 113 460 deck, 117 460 with 119 460 the 121 460 same 123 460 intense 127 460 bigotry 129 460 of 131 460 purpose 133 460 in 137 460 his 139 460 aspect. 141 460 It 143 460 drew 147 460 near 149 460 the 151 460 close 153 460 of 157 460 day. 159 460 Suddenly 163 460 he 167 460 came 169 460 to 171 460 a 173 460 halt 177 460 by 179 460 the 181 460 bulwarks, 183 460 and 187 460 inserting 189 460 his 191 460 bone 193 460 leg 197 460 into 199 460 the 201 460 auger-hole 203 460 there, 209 460 and 211 460 with 213 460 one 217 460 hand 219 460 grasping 221 460 a 223 460 shroud, 227 460 he 229 460 ordered 231 460 Starbuck 233 460 to 237 460 send 239 460 everybody 241 460 aft. 243 460 "Sir!" 247 460 said 249 460 the 251 460 mate, 257 460 astonished 259 460 at 261 460 an 263 460 order 267 460 seldom 269 460 or 271 460 never 273 460 given 277 460 on 279 460 ship-board 281 460 except 283 460 in 287 460 some 289 460 extraordinary 291 460 case. 293 460 "Send 297 460 everybody 301 460 aft," 303 460 repeated 307 460 Ahab. 309 460 "Mast-heads, 311 460 there! 313 460 come 317 460 down!" 319 460 When 321 460 the 323 460 entire 327 460 ship's 329 460 company 331 460 were 333 460 assembled, 337 460 and 339 460 with 341 460 curious 343 460 and 347 460 not 349 460 wholly 351 460 unapprehensive 353 460 faces, 357 460 were 359 460 eyeing 361 460 him, 363 460 for 367 460 he 369 460 looked 371 460 not 373 460 unlike 377 460 the 379 460 weather 381 460 horizon 383 460 when 387 460 a 389 460 storm 393 460 is 397 460 coming 399 460 up, 401 460 Ahab, 403 460 after 407 460 rapidly 409 460 glancing 411 460 over 413 460 the 417 460 bulwarks, 419 460 and 421 460 then 423 460 darting 427 460 his 429 460 eyes 431 460 among 433 460 the 439 460 crew, 441 460 started 443 460 from 447 460 his 449 460 standpoint; 451 460 and 453 460 as 457 460 though 459 460 not 1 461 a 2 461 soul 3 461 were 4 461 nigh 5 461 him 6 461 resumed 7 461 his 8 461 heavy 9 461 turns 10 461 upon 11 461 the 12 461 deck. 13 461 With 14 461 bent 15 461 head 16 461 and 17 461 half-slouched 18 461 hat 19 461 he 20 461 continued 21 461 to 22 461 pace, 23 461 unmindful 24 461 of 25 461 the 26 461 wondering 27 461 whispering 28 461 among 29 461 the 30 461 men; 31 461 till 32 461 Stubb 33 461 cautiously 34 461 whispered 35 461 to 36 461 Flask, 37 461 that 38 461 Ahab 39 461 must 40 461 have 41 461 summoned 42 461 them 43 461 there 44 461 for 45 461 the 46 461 purpose 47 461 of 48 461 witnessing 49 461 a 50 461 pedestrian 51 461 feat. 52 461 But 53 461 this 54 461 did 55 461 not 56 461 last 57 461 long. 58 461 Vehemently 59 461 pausing, 60 461 he 61 461 cried:-- 62 461 "What 63 461 do 64 461 ye 65 461 do 66 461 when 67 461 ye 68 461 see 69 461 a 70 461 whale, 71 461 men?" 72 461 "Sing 73 461 out 74 461 for 75 461 him!" 76 461 was 77 461 the 78 461 impulsive 79 461 rejoinder 80 461 from 81 461 a 82 461 score 83 461 of 84 461 clubbed 85 461 voices. 86 461 "Good!" 87 461 cried 88 461 Ahab, 89 461 with 90 461 a 91 461 wild 92 461 approval 93 461 in 94 461 his 95 461 tones; 96 461 observing 97 461 the 98 461 hearty 99 461 animation 100 461 into 101 461 which 102 461 his 103 461 unexpected 104 461 question 105 461 had 106 461 so 107 461 magnetically 108 461 thrown 109 461 them. 110 461 "And 111 461 what 112 461 do 113 461 ye 114 461 next, 115 461 men?" 116 461 "Lower 117 461 away, 118 461 and 119 461 after 120 461 him!" 121 461 "And 122 461 what 123 461 tune 124 461 is 125 461 it 126 461 ye 127 461 pull 128 461 to, 129 461 men?" 130 461 "A 131 461 dead 132 461 whale 133 461 or 134 461 a 135 461 stove 136 461 boat!" 137 461 More 138 461 and 139 461 more 140 461 strangely 141 461 and 142 461 fiercely 143 461 glad 144 461 and 145 461 approving, 146 461 grew 147 461 the 148 461 countenance 149 461 of 150 461 the 151 461 old 152 461 man 153 461 at 154 461 every 155 461 shout; 156 461 while 157 461 the 158 461 mariners 159 461 began 160 461 to 161 461 gaze 162 461 curiously 163 461 at 164 461 each 165 461 other, 166 461 as 167 461 if 168 461 marvelling 169 461 how 170 461 it 171 461 was 172 461 that 173 461 they 174 461 themselves 175 461 became 176 461 so 177 461 excited 178 461 at 179 461 such 180 461 seemingly 181 461 purposeless 182 461 questions. 183 461 But, 184 461 they 185 461 were 186 461 all 187 461 eagerness 188 461 again, 189 461 as 190 461 Ahab, 191 461 now 192 461 half-revolving 193 461 in 194 461 his 195 461 pivot-hole, 196 461 with 197 461 one 198 461 hand 199 461 reaching 200 461 high 201 461 up 202 461 a 203 461 shroud, 204 461 and 205 461 tightly, 206 461 almost 207 461 convulsively 208 461 grasping 209 461 it, 210 461 addressed 211 461 them 212 461 thus:-- 213 461 "All 214 461 ye 215 461 mast-headers 216 461 have 217 461 before 218 461 now 219 461 heard 220 461 me 221 461 give 222 461 orders 223 461 about 224 461 a 225 461 white 226 461 whale. 227 461 Look 228 461 ye! 229 461 d'ye 230 461 see 231 461 this 232 461 Spanish 233 461 ounce 234 461 of 235 461 gold?"--holding 236 461 up 237 461 a 238 461 broad 239 461 bright 240 461 coin 241 461 to 242 461 the 243 461 sun--"it 244 461 is 245 461 a 246 461 sixteen 247 461 dollar 248 461 piece, 249 461 men. 250 461 D'ye 251 461 see 252 461 it? 253 461 Mr. 254 461 Starbuck, 255 461 hand 256 461 me 257 461 yon 258 461 top-maul." 259 461 While 260 461 the 261 461 mate 262 461 was 263 461 getting 264 461 the 265 461 hammer, 266 461 Ahab, 267 461 without 268 461 speaking, 269 461 was 270 461 slowly 271 461 rubbing 272 461 the 273 461 gold 274 461 piece 275 461 against 276 461 the 277 461 skirts 278 461 of 279 461 his 280 461 jacket, 281 461 as 282 461 if 283 461 to 284 461 heighten 285 461 its 286 461 lustre, 287 461 and 288 461 without 289 461 using 290 461 any 291 461 words 292 461 was 293 461 meanwhile 294 461 lowly 295 461 humming 296 461 to 297 461 himself, 298 461 producing 299 461 a 300 461 sound 301 461 so 302 461 strangely 303 461 muffled 304 461 and 305 461 inarticulate 306 461 that 307 461 it 308 461 seemed 309 461 the 310 461 mechanical 311 461 humming 312 461 of 313 461 the 314 461 wheels 315 461 of 316 461 his 317 461 vitality 318 461 in 319 461 him. 320 461 Receiving 321 461 the 322 461 top-maul 323 461 from 324 461 Starbuck, 325 461 he 326 461 advanced 327 461 towards 328 461 the 329 461 main-mast 330 461 with 331 461 the 332 461 hammer 333 461 uplifted 334 461 in 335 461 one 336 461 hand, 337 461 exhibiting 338 461 the 339 461 gold 340 461 with 341 461 the 342 461 other, 343 461 and 344 461 with 345 461 a 346 461 high 347 461 raised 348 461 voice 349 461 exclaiming: 350 461 "Whosoever 351 461 of 352 461 ye 353 461 raises 354 461 me 355 461 a 356 461 white-headed 357 461 whale 358 461 with 359 461 a 360 461 wrinkled 361 461 brow 362 461 and 363 461 a 364 461 crooked 365 461 jaw; 366 461

465 then 4 465 could 7 465 I 8 465 do 11 465 the 13 465 other; 14 465 since 16 465 there 17 465 is 19 465 ever 22 465 a 23 465 sort 26 465 of 28 465 fair 29 465 play 32 465 herein, 34 465 jealousy 37

466 of 93 466 the 95 466 mate, 97 466 Ahab 99 466 did 101 466 not 103 466 hear 105 466 his 107 466 foreboding 109 466 invocation; 111 466 nor 113 466 yet 115 466 the 117 466 low 119 466 laugh 121 466

183 466 sank 185 466 in. 187 466 For 189 466 again 191 466 Starbuck's 193 466 downcast 195 466 eyes 197 466 lighted 199 466 up 201 466 with 203 466 the 205 466 stubbornness 207 466 of 209 466 life; 211 466 the 213 466 subterranean 215 466 laugh 217 466 died 219 466 away; 221 466 the 223 466 winds 225 466 blew 227 466 on; 229 466 the 231 466 sails 235 466 filled 237 466 out; 239 466 the 241 466 ship 243 466 heaved 245 466 and 247 466 rolled 249 466 as 251 466 before. 253 466 Ah, 255 466 ye 257 466 admonitions 259 466 and 261 466 warnings! 263 466 why 265 466 stay 267 466 ye 269 466 not 271

little 329 466 external 331 466 to 333 466 constrain 335 466 us, 337 466 the 339 466 innermost 341 466 necessities 343 466 in 345 466 our 347 466 being, 349 466 these 351 466 still 353 466 drive 355 466 us 357 466 on. 359 466 "The 361 466 measure! 363 466 the 365 466 measure!" 367 466 cried 369 466 Ahab. 371 466 Receiving 373 466 the 375 466 brimming 377 466 pewter, 379 466 and 381 466 turning 383 466 to 385 466 the 387 466 harpooneers, 389 466 he 391 466 ordered 393 466 them 395 466 to 397 466 produce 399 466 their 401 466 weapons. 403 466 Then 405 466 ranging 407 466 them 409 466 before 411 466 him 413 466 near 415 466 the 417 466 capstan, 419 466 with 421 466 their 423 466 harpoons 425 466 in 427 466 their 429 466 hands, 431 466 while 433 466 his 435 466 three 437 466 mates 439 466 stood 441 466 at 443 466 his 445 466 side 447 466 with 449 466 their 451 466 lances, 453 466 and 455 466 the 457 466 rest 459 466 of 461 466 the 463 466 ship's 465 466 company 1 467 formed 2 467 a 3

165 482 Moby 167 482 Dick, 169 482 the 171 482 earlier 173 482 days 175 482 of 177 482 the 179 482 Sperm 181 482 Whale 183 482 fishery, 185 482 when 187 482 it 189 482 was 191 482 oftentimes 193 482 hard 195 482 to 197 482 induce 199 482 long 201 482 practised 203 482 Right 205 482 whalemen 207 482 to 209 482 embark 211 482 in 213 482 the 215 482 perils 217 482 of 219 482 this 221 482 new 223 482 and 225 482 daring 227 482 warfare; 229 482 such 231 482 men 233 482 protesting 235 482 that 237 482 although 239 482 other 243 482 leviathans 245 482 might 247 482 be 249 482 hopefully 251 482 pursued, 253 482 yet 255 482 to 257 482 chase 259 482 and 261 482 point 263 482 lance 265 482 at 267 482 such 269 482 an 271 482 apparition 273 482 as 275 482 the 277 482 Sperm 279 482 Whale 281 482 was 283 482 not 285 482 for 287 482 mortal 289 482 man. 291 482 That 293 482 to 295 482 attempt 297 482 it, 299 482 would 301 482 be 303 482 inevitably 305 482 to 307 482 be 309 482 torn 311 482 into 313 482 a 315 482 quick 317 482 eternity. 319 482 On 321 482 this 323 482 head, 325 482 there 327 482 are 329 482 some 331 482 remarkable 333 482 documents 335 482 that 337 482 may 339 482 be 341 482 consulted. 343 482 Nevertheless, 345 482 some 347 482 there 349 482 were, 351 482 who 353 482 even 355 482 in 357 482 the 359 482 face 361 482 of 363 482 these 365 482 things 367 482 were 369 482 ready 371 482 to 373 482 give 375 482 chase 377 482 to 379 482 Moby 381 482 Dick; 383 482 and 385 482 a 387 482 still 389 482 greater 391 482 number 393 482 who, 395 482 chancing 397 482 only 399 482 to 401 482 hear 403 482 of 405 482 him 407 482 distantly 409 482 and 411 482 vaguely, 413 482 without 415 482 the 417 482 specific 419 482 details 421 482 of 423 482 any 425 482 certain 427 482 calamity, 429 482 and 431 482 without 433 482 superstitious 435 482 accompaniments, 437 482 were 439 482 sufficiently 441 482 hardy 443 482 not 445 482 to 447 482 flee 449 482 from 451 482 the 453 482 battle 455 482 if 457 482 offered. 459 482 One 461 482 of 463 482 the 465 482 wild 467 482 suggestions 469 482 referred 471 482 to, 473 482 as 475 482 at 477 482 last 479 482 coming 481 482 to 1 483 be 2 483 linked 4 483 with 5 483 the 8 483 White 10 483 Whale 11 483 in 13 483 the 16 483 minds 17 483 of 19 483 the 20 483 superstitiously 22 483 inclined, 25 483 was 26 483 the 29 483 unearthly 31 483 conceit 32 483 that 34 483 Moby 37 483 Dick 38 483 was 40 483 ubiquitous; 41 483 that 43 483 he 44 483 had 47 483 actually 50 483 been 52 483 encountered 53 483 in 55 483 opposite 58 483 latitudes 59 483 at 61 483 one 62 483 and 64 483 the 65 483 same 67 483 instant 68 483 of 71 483 time. 73 483 Nor, 74 483 credulous 76 483 as 79 483 such 80 483 minds 82 483 must 83 483 have 85 483 been, 86 483 was 88 483 this 89 483 conceit 94 483 altogether 95 483 without 97 483 some 100 483 faint 101 483 show 103 483 of 104 483 superstitious 106 483 probability. 107 483 For 109 483 as 110 483 the 113 483 secrets 116 483 of 118 483 the 121 483 currents 122 483 in 124 483 the 125 483 seas 127 483 have 128 483 never 130 483 yet 131 483 been 134 483 divulged, 136 483 even 137 483 to 139 483 the 142 483 most 143 483 erudite 145 483 research; 146 483 so 148 483 the 149 483 hidden 151 483 ways 152 483 of 155 483 the 157 483 Sperm 158 483 Whale 160 483 when 163 483 beneath 164 483 the 166 483 surface 167 483 remain, 169 483 in 170 483 great 172 483 part, 173 483 unaccountable 176 483 to 178 483 his 179 483 pursuers; 181 483 and 185 483 from 187 483 time 188 483 to 190 483 time 191 483 have 193 483 originated 194 483 the 197 483 most 199 483 curious 200 483 and 202 483 contradictory 205 483 speculations 206 483 regarding 208 483 them, 209 483 especially 211 483 concerning 212 483 the 214 483 mystic 215 483 modes 218 483 whereby, 220 483 after 221 483 sounding 223 483 to 226 483 a 227 483 great 229 483 depth, 232 483 he 233 483 transports 235 483 himself 236 483 with 239 483 such 241 483 vast 242 483 swiftness 244 483 to 247 483 the 248 483 most 250 483 widely 251 483 distant 254 483 points. 256 483 It 257 483 is 260 483 a 262 483 thing 263 483 well 265 483 known 268 483 to 269 483 both 271 483 American 272 483 and 274 483 English 275 483 whale-ships, 277 483 and 278 483 as 281 483 well 283 483 a 284 483 thing 286 483 placed 289 483 upon 290 483 authoritative 292 483 record 293 483 years 295 483 ago 296 483 by 298 483 Scoresby, 302 483 that 304 483 some 305 483 whales 307 483 have 310 483 been 311 483 captured 313 483 far 314 483 north 316 483 in 317 483 the 319 483 Pacific, 320 483 in 323 483 whose 325 483 bodies 326 483 have 328 483 been 331 483 found 332 483 the 334 483 barbs 335 483 of 337 483 harpoons 338 483 darted 340 483 in 341 483 the 344 483 Greenland 346 483 seas. 347 483 Nor 349 483 is 352 483 it 353 483 to 355 483 be 356 483 gainsaid, 358 483 that 359 483 in 361 483 some 362 483 of 365 483 these 367 483 instances 370 483 it 373 483 has 374 483 been 376 483 declared 377 483 that 379 483 the 380 483 interval 382 483 of 383 483 time 386 483 between 388 483 the 389 483 two 394 483 assaults 395 483 could 397 483 not 398 483 have 400 483 exceeded 401 483 very 403 483 many 404 483 days. 407 483 Hence, 409 483 by 410 483 inference, 412 483 it 415 483 has 416 483 been 418 483 believed 419 483 by 421 483 some 422 483 whalemen, 424 483 that 425 483 the 428 483 Nor' 430 483 West 431 483 Passage, 433 483 so 436 483 long 439 483 a 440 483 problem 442 483 to 443 483 man, 445 483 was 446 483 never 449 483 a 451 483 problem 452 483 to 454 483 the 457 483 whale. 458 483 So 461 483 that 463 483 here, 464 483 in 466 483 the 467 483 real 470 483 living 472 483 experience 473 483 of 475 483 living 478 483 men, 479 483 the 481 483 prodigies 482 483 related 1 484 in 3 484 old 5 484 times 7 484 of 9 484 the 13 484 inland 15 484 Strello 17 484 mountain 19 484 in 21 484 Portugal 23 484 (near 25 484 whose 27 484 top 29 484 there 31 484 was 35 484 said 37 484 to 39 484 be 41 484 a 43 484 lake 45 484 in 47 484 which 49 484 the 51 484 wrecks 53 484 of 57 484 ships 59 484 floated 61 484 up 63 484 to 65 484 the 67 484 surface); 69 484 and 71 484 that 73 484 still 75 484 more 79 484 wonderful 81 484 story 83 484 of 85 484 the 87 484 Arethusa 89 484 fountain 91 484 near 93 484 Syracuse 95 484 (whose 97 484 waters 101 484 were 103 484 believed 105 484 to 107 484 have 109 484 come 111 484 from 113 484 the 115 484 Holy 117 484 Land 119 484 by 123 484 an 125 484 underground 127 484 passage); 129 484 these 131 484 fabulous 133 484 narrations 135 484 are 137 484 almost 139 484 fully 141 484 equalled 145 484 by 147 484 the 149 484 realities 151 484 of 153 484 the 155 484 whalemen. 157 484 Forced 159 484 into 161 484 familiarity, 163 484 then, 167 484 with 169 484 such 171 484 prodigies 173 484 as 175 484 these; 177 484 and 179 484 knowing 181 484 that 183 484 after 185 484 repeated, 189 484 intrepid 191 484 assaults, 193 484 the 195 484 White 197 484 Whale 199 484 had 201 484 escaped 203 484 alive; 205 484 it 207 484 cannot 211 484 be 213 484 much 215 484 matter 217 484 of 219 484 surprise 221 484 that 223 484 some 225 484 whalemen 227 484 should 229 484 go 233 484 still 235 484 further 237 484 in 239 484 their 241 484 superstitions; 243 484 declaring 245 484 Moby 247 484 Dick 249 484 not 251 484 only 255 484 ubiquitous, 257 484 but 259 484 immortal 261 484 (for 263 484 immortality 265 484 is 267 484 but 269 484 ubiquity 271 484 in 273 484 time); 277 484 that 279 484 though 281 484 groves 283 484 of 285 484 spears 287 484 should 289 484 be 291 484 planted 293 484 in 295 484 his 299 484 flanks, 301 484 he 303 484 would 305 484 still 307 484 swim 309 484 away 311 484 unharmed; 313 484 or 315 484 if 317 484 indeed 321 484 he 323 484 should 325 484 ever 327 484 be 329 484 made 331 484 to 333 484 spout 335 484 thick 337 484 blood, 339 484 such 343 484 a 345 484 sight 347 484 would 349 484 be 351 484 but 353 484 a 355 484 ghastly 357 484 deception; 359 484 for 361 484 again 365 484 in 367 484 unensanguined 369 484 billows 371 484 hundreds 373 484 of 375 484 leagues 377 484 away, 379 484 his 381 484 unsullied 383 484 jet 387 484 would 389 484 once 391 484 more 393 484 be 395 484 seen. 397 484 But 399 484 even 401 484 stripped 403 484 of 405 484 these 409 484 supernatural 411 484 surmisings, 413 484 there 415 484 was 417 484 enough 419 484 in 421 484 the 423 484 earthly 425 484 make 427 484 and 431 484 incontestable 433 484 character 435 484 of 437 484 the 439 484 monster 441 484 to 443 484 strike 445 484 the 447 484 imagination 449 484 with 453 484 unwonted 455 484 power. 457 484 For, 459 484 it 461 484 was 463 484 not 465 484 so 467 484 much 469 484 his 471 484 uncommon 475 484 bulk 477 484 that 479 484 so 481 484 much 483 484 distinguished 1 485 him 2 485 from 3 485 other 4 485 sperm 6 485 whales, 7 485 but, 8 485 as 9 485 was 11 485 elsewhere 12 485 thrown 13 485 out--a 14 485 peculiar 16 485 snow-white 17 485 wrinkled 18 485 forehead, 19 485 and 21 485 a 22 485 high, 23 485 pyramidical 24 485 white 26 485 hump. 27 485 These 28 485 were 29 485 his 31 485 prominent 32 485 features; 33 485 the 34 485 tokens 36 485 whereby, 37 485 even 38 485 in 39 485 the 41 485 limitless, 42 485 uncharted 43 485 seas, 44 485 he 46 485 revealed 47 485 his 48 485 identity, 49 485 at 51 485 a 52 485 long 53 485 distance, 54 485 to 56 485 those 57 485 who 58 485 knew 59 485 him. 61 485 The 62 485 rest 63 485 of 64 485 his 66 485 body 67 485 was 68 485 so 69 485 streaked, 71 485 and 72 485 spotted, 73 485 and 74 485 marbled 76 485 with 77 485 the 78 485 same 79 485 shrouded 81 485 hue, 82 485 that, 83 485 in 84 485 the 86 485 end, 87 485 he 88 485 had 89 485 gained 91 485 his 92 485 distinctive 93 485 appellation 94 485 of 96 485 the 98 485 White 99 485 Whale; 101 485 a 102 485 name, 103 485 indeed, 104 485 literally 106 485 justified 107 485 by 108 485 his 109 485 vivid 111 485 aspect, 112 485 when 113 485 seen 114 485 gliding 116 485 at 117 485 high 118 485 noon 119 485 through 121 485 a 122 485 dark 123 485 blue 124 485 sea, 126 485 leaving 127 485 a 128 485 milky-way 129 485 wake 131 485 of 132 485 creamy 133 485 foam, 134 485 all 136 485 spangled 137 485 with 138 485 golden 139 485 gleamings. 141 485 Nor 142 485 was 143 485 it 144 485 his 146 485 unwonted 147 485 magnitude, 148 485 nor 149 485 his 151 485 remarkable 152 485 hue, 153 485 nor 154 485 yet 156 485 his 157 485 deformed 158 485 lower 159 485 jaw, 161 485 that 162 485 so 163 485 much 164 485 invested 166 485 the 167 485 whale 168 485 with 169 485 natural 171 485 terror, 172 485 as 173 485 that 174 485 unexampled, 176 485 intelligent 177 485 malignity 178 485 which, 179 485 according 181 485 to 182 485 specific 183 485 accounts, 184 485 he 186 485 had 187 485 over 188 485 and 189 485 over 191 485 again 192 485 evinced 193 485 in 196 485 his 197 485 assaults. 198 485 More 199 485 than 201 485 all, 202 485 his 203 485 treacherous 204 485 retreats 206 485 struck 207 485 more 208 485 of 209 485 dismay 211 485 than 212 485 perhaps 213 485 aught 214 485 else. 216 485 For, 217 485 when 218 485 swimming 219 485 before 221 485 his 222 485 exulting 223 485 pursuers, 224 485 with 226 485 every 227 485 apparent 228 485 symptom 229 485 of 231 485 alarm, 232 485 he 233 485 had 234 485 several 236 485 times 237 485 been 238 485 known 239 485 to 241 485 turn 242 485 round 243 485 suddenly, 244 485 and, 246 485 bearing 247 485 down 248 485 upon 249 485 them, 251 485 either 252 485 stave 253 485 their 254 485 boats 256 485 to 257 485 splinters, 258 485 or 259 485 drive 261 485 them 262 485 back 263 485 in 264 485 consternation 266 485 to 267 485 their 268 485 ship. 269 485 Already 271 485 several 272 485 fatalities 273 485 had 274 485 attended 276 485 his 277 485 chase. 278 485 But 279 485 though 281 485 similar 282 485 disasters, 283 485 however 284 485 little 286 485 bruited 287 485 ashore, 288 485 were 289 485 by 292 485 no 293 485 means 294 485 unusual 296 485 in 297 485 the 298 485 fishery; 299 485 yet, 301 485 in 302 485 most 303 485 instances, 304 485 such 306 485 seemed 307 485 the 308 485 White 309 485 Whale's 311 485 infernal 312 485 aforethought 313 485 of 314 485 ferocity, 316 485 that 317 485 every 318 485 dismembering 319 485 or 321 485 death 322 485 that 323 485 he 324 485 caused, 326 485 was 327 485 not 328 485 wholly 329 485 regarded 331 485 as 332 485 having 333 485 been 334 485 inflicted 336 485 by 337 485 an 338 485 unintelligent 339 485 agent. 341 485 Judge, 342 485 then, 343 485 to 344 485 what 346 485 pitches 347 485 of 348 485 inflamed, 349 485 distracted 351 485 fury 352 485 the 353 485 minds 354 485 of 356 485 his 357 485 more 358 485 desperate 359 485 hunters 361 485 were 362 485 impelled, 363 485 when 364 485 amid 366 485 the 367 485 chips 368 485 of 369 485 chewed 371 485 boats, 372 485 and 373 485 the 374 485 sinking 376 485 limbs 377 485 of 378 485 torn 379 485 comrades, 381 485 they 382 485 swam 383 485 out 384 485 of 386 485 the 387 485 white 389 485 curds 391 485 of 392 485 the 393 485 whale's 394 485 direful 396 485 wrath 397 485 into 398 485 the 399 485 serene, 401 485 exasperating 402 485 sunlight, 403 485 that 404 485 smiled 406 485 on, 407 485 as 408 485 if 409 485 at 411 485 a 412 485 birth 413 485 or 414 485 a 416 485 bridal. 417 485 His 418 485 three 419 485 boats 421 485 stove 422 485 around 423 485 him, 424 485 and 426 485 oars 427 485 and 428 485 men 429 485 both 431 485 whirling 432 485 in 433 485 the 434 485 eddies; 436 485 one 437 485 captain, 438 485 seizing 439 485 the 441 485 line-knife 442 485 from 443 485 his 444 485 broken 446 485 prow, 447 485 had 448 485 dashed 449 485 at 451 485 the 452 485 whale, 453 485 as 454 485 an 456 485 Arkansas 457 485 duellist 458 485 at 459 485 his 461 485 foe, 462 485 blindly 463 485 seeking 464 485 with 466 485 a 467 485 six 468 485 inch 469 485 blade 471 485 to 472 485 reach 473 485 the 474 485 fathom-deep 476 485 life 477 485 of 478 485 the 479 485 whale. 481 485 That 482 485 captain 483 485 was 484 485 Ahab. 1 486 And 5 486 then 7 486 it 11 486 was, 13 486 that 17 486 suddenly 19 486 sweeping 23 486 his 25 486 sickle-shaped 29 486 lower 31 486 jaw 35 486 beneath 37 486 him, 41 486 Moby 43 486 Dick 47 486 had 49 486 reaped 53 486 away 55 486 Ahab's 59 486 leg, 61 486 as 65 486 a 67 486 mower 71 486 a 73 486 blade 77 486 of 79 486 grass 83 486 in 85 486 the 89 486 field. 91 486 No 95 486 turbaned 97 486 Turk, 101 486 no 103 486 hired 107 486 Venetian 109 486 or 113 486 Malay, 115 486 could 119 486 have 121 486 smote 125 486 him 127 486 with 131 486 more 133 486 seeming 137 486 malice. 139 486 Small 143 486 reason 145 486 was 149 486 there 151 486 to 155 486 doubt, 157 486 then, 161 486 that 163 486 ever 167 486 since 169 486 that 173 486 almost 175 486 fatal 179 486 encounter, 181 486 Ahab 185 486 had 187 486 cherished 191 486 a 193 486 wild 197 486 vindictiveness 199 486 against 203 486 the 205 486 whale, 209 486 all 211 486 the 215 486 more 217 486 fell 221 486 for 223 486 that 227 486 in 229 486 his 233 486 frantic 235 486 morbidness 239 486 he 241 486 at 245 486 last 247 486 came 251 486 to 253 486 identify 257 486 with 259 486 him, 263 486 not 265 486 only 269 486 all 271 486 his 275 486 bodily 277 486 woes, 281 486 but 283 486 all 287 486 his 289 486 intellectual 293 486 and 295 486 spiritual 299 486 exasperations. 301 486 The 305 486 White 307 486 Whale 311 486 swam 313 486 before 317 486 him 319 486 as 323 486 the 325 486 monomaniac 329 486 incarnation 331 486 of 335 486 all 337 486 those 341 486 malicious 343 486 agencies 347 486 which 349 486 some 353 486 deep 355 486 men 359 486 feel 361 486 eating 365 486 in 367 486 them, 371 486 till 373 486 they 377 486 are 379 486 left 383 486 living 385 486 on 389 486 with 391 486 half 395 486 a 397 486 heart 401 486 and 403 486 half 407 486 a 409 486 lung. 413 486 That 415 486 intangible 419 486 malignity 421 486 which 425 486 has 427 486 been 431 486 from 433 486 the 437 486 beginning; 439 486 to 443 486 whose 445 486 dominion 449 486 even 451 486 the 455 486 modern 457 486 Christians 461 486 ascribe 463 486 one-half 467 486 of 469 486 the 473 486 worlds; 475 486 which 479 486 the 481 486 ancient 485 486 Ophites 1 487 of 2 487 the 3 487 east 4 487 reverenced 5 487 in 6 487 their 7 487 statue 8 487 devil;--Ahab 9 487 did 10 487 not 11 487 fall 12 487 down 13 487 and 14 487 worship 15 487 it 16 487 like 17 487 them; 18 487 but 19 487 deliriously 20 487 transferring 21 487 its 22 487 idea 23 487 to 24 487 the 25 487 abhorred 26 487 white 27 487 whale, 28 487 he 29 487 pitted 30 487 himself, 31 487 all 32 487 mutilated, 33 487 against 34 487 it. 35 487 All 36 487 that 37 487 most 38 487 maddens 39 487 and 40 487 torments; 41 487 all 42 487 that 43 487 stirs 44 487 up 45 487 the 46 487 lees 47 487 of 48 487 things; 49 487 all 50 487 truth 51 487 with 52 487 malice 53 487 in 54 487 it; 55 487 all 56 487 that 57 487 cracks 58 487 the 59 487 sinews 60 487 and 61 487 cakes 62 487 the 63 487 brain; 64 487 all 65 487 the 66 487 subtle 67 487 demonisms 68 487 of 69 487 life 70 487 and 71 487 thought; 72 487 all 73 487 evil, 74 487 to 75 487 crazy 76 487 Ahab, 77 487 were 78 487 visibly 79 487 personified, 80 487 and 81 487 made 82 487 practically 83 487 assailable 84 487 in 85 487 Moby 86 487 Dick. 87 487 He 88 487 piled 89 487 upon 90 487 the 91 487 whale's 92 487 white 93 487 hump 94 487 the 95 487 sum 96 487 of 97 487 all 98 487 the 99 487 general 100 487 rage 101 487 and 102 487 hate 103 487 felt 104 487 by 105 487 his 106 487 whole 107 487 race 108 487 from 109 487 Adam 110 487 down; 111 487 and 112 487 then, 113 487 as 114 487 if 115 487 his 116 487 chest 117 487 had 118 487 been 119 487 a 120 487 mortar, 121 487 he 122 487 burst 123 487 his 124 487 hot 125 487 heart's 126 487 shell 127 487 upon 128 487 it. 129 487 It 130 487 is 131 487 not 132 487 probable 133 487 that 134 487 this 135 487 monomania 136 487 in 137 487 him 138 487 took 139 487 its 140 487 instant 141 487 rise 142 487 at 143 487 the 144 487 precise 145 487 time 146 487 of 147 487 his 148 487 bodily 149 487 dismemberment. 150 487 Then, 151 487 in 152 487 darting 153 487 at 154 487 the 155 487 monster, 156 487 knife 157 487 in 158 487 hand, 159 487 he 160 487 had 161 487 but 162 487 given 163 487 loose 164 487 to 165 487 a 166 487 sudden, 167 487 passionate, 168 487 corporal 169 487 animosity; 170 487 and 171 487 when 172 487 he 173 487 received 174 487 the 175 487 stroke 176 487 that 177 487 tore 178 487 him, 179 487 he 180 487 probably 181 487 but 182 487 felt 183 487 the 184 487 agonizing 185 487 bodily 186 487 laceration, 187 487 but 188 487 nothing 189 487 more. 190 487 Yet, 191 487 when 192 487 by 193 487 this 194 487 collision 195 487 forced 196 487 to 197 487 turn 198 487 towards 199 487 home, 200 487 and 201 487 for 202 487 long 203 487 months 204 487 of 205 487 days 206 487 and 207 487 weeks, 208 487 Ahab 209 487 and 210 487 anguish 211 487 lay 212 487 stretched 213 487 together 214 487 in 215 487 one 216 487 hammock, 217 487 rounding 218 487 in 219 487 mid 220 487 winter 221 487 that 222 487 dreary, 223 487 howling 224 487 Patagonian 225 487 Cape; 226 487 then 227 487 it 228 487 was, 229 487 that 230 487 his 231 487 torn 232 487 body 233 487 and 234 487 gashed 235 487 soul 236 487 bled 237 487 into 238 487 one 239 487 another; 240 487 and 241 487 so 242 487 interfusing, 243 487 made 244 487 him 245 487 mad. 246 487 That 247 487 it 248 487 was 249 487 only 250 487 then, 251 487 on 252 487 the 253 487 homeward 254 487 voyage, 255 487 after 256 487 the 257 487 encounter, 258 487 that 259 487 the 260 487 final 261 487 monomania 262 487 seized 263 487 him, 264 487 seems 265 487 all 266 487 but 267 487 certain 268 487 from 269 487 the 270 487 fact 271 487 that, 272 487 at 273 487 intervals 274 487 during 275 487 the 276 487 passage, 277 487 he 278 487 was 279 487 a 280 487 raving 281 487 lunatic; 282 487 and, 283 487 though 284 487 unlimbed 285 487 of 286 487 a 287 487 leg, 288 487 yet 289 487 such 290 487 vital 291 487 strength 292 487 yet 293 487 lurked 294 487 in 295 487 his 296 487 Egyptian 297 487 chest, 298 487 and 299 487 was 300 487 moreover 301 487 intensified 302 487 by 303 487 his 304 487 delirium, 305 487 that 306 487 his 307 487 mates 308 487 were 309 487 forced 310 487 to 311 487 lace 312 487 him 313 487 fast, 314 487 even 315 487 there, 316 487 as 317 487 he 318 487 sailed, 319 487 raving 320 487 in 321 487 his 322 487 hammock. 323 487 In 324 487 a 325 487 strait-jacket, 326 487 he 327 487 swung 328 487 to 329 487 the 330 487 mad 331 487 rockings 332 487 of 333 487 the 334 487 gales. 335 487 And, 336 487 when 337 487 running 338 487 into 339 487 more 340 487 sufferable 341 487 latitudes, 342 487 the 343 487 ship, 344 487 with 345 487 mild 346 487 stun'sails 347 487 spread, 348 487 floated 349 487 across 350 487 the 351 487 tranquil 352 487 tropics, 353 487 and, 354 487 to 355 487 all 356 487 appearances, 357 487 the 358 487 old 359 487 man's 360 487 delirium 361 487 seemed 362 487 left 363 487 behind 364 487 him 365 487 with 366 487 the 367 487 Cape 368 487 Horn 369 487 swells, 370 487 and 371 487 he 372 487 came 373 487 forth 374 487 from 375 487 his 376 487 dark 377 487 den 378 487 into 379 487 the 380 487 blessed 381 487 light 382 487 and 383 487 air; 384 487 even 385 487 then, 386 487 when 387 487 he 388 487 bore 389 487 that 390 487 firm, 391 487 collected 392 487 front, 393 487 however 394 487 pale, 395 487 and 396 487 issued 397 487 his 398 487 calm 399 487 orders 400 487 once 401 487 again; 402 487 and 403 487 his 404 487 mates 405 487 thanked 406 487 God 407 487 the 408 487 direful 409 487 madness 410 487 was 411 487 now 412 487 gone; 413 487 even 414 487 then, 415 487 Ahab, 416 487 in 417 487 his 418 487 hidden 419 487 self, 420 487 raved 421 487 on. 422 487 Human 423 487 madness 424 487 is 425 487 oftentimes 426 487 a 427 487 cunning 428 487 and 429 487 most 430 487 feline 431 487 thing. 432 487 When 433 487 you 434 487 think 435 487 it 436 487 fled, 437 487 it 438 487 may 439 487 have 440 487 but 441 487 become 442 487 transfigured 443 487 into 444 487 some 445 487 still 446 487 subtler 447 487 form. 448 487 Ahab's 449 487 full 450 487 lunacy 451 487 subsided 452 487 not, 453 487 but 454 487 deepeningly 455 487 contracted; 456 487 like 457 487 the 458 487 unabated 459 487 Hudson, 460 487 when 461 487 that 462 487 noble 463 487 Northman 464 487 flows 465 487 narrowly, 466 487 but 467 487 unfathomably 468 487 through 469 487 the 470 487 Highland 471 487 gorge. 472 487 But, 473 487 as 474 487 in 475 487 his 476 487 narrow-flowing 477 487 monomania, 478 487 not 479 487 one 480 487 jot 481 487 of 482 487 Ahab's 483 487 broad 484 487 madness 485 487 had 486 487 been 1 488 left 3 488 behind; 5 488 so 7 488 in 9 488 that 11 488 broad 13 488 madness, 15 488 not 17 488 one 19 488 jot 21 488 of 23 488 his 25 488 great 27 488 natural 29 488 intellect 31 488 had 33 488 perished. 35 488 That 37 488 before 39 488 living 41 488 agent, 43 488 now 45 488 became 47 488 the 49 488 living 51 488 instrument. 53 488 If 55 488 such 57 488 a 59 488 furious 63 488 trope 65 488 may 67 488 stand, 69 488 his 71 488 special 73 488 lunacy 75 488 stormed 77 488 his 79 488 general 81 488 sanity, 83 488 and 85 488 carried 87 488 it, 89 488 and 91 488 turned 93 488 all 95 488 its 97 488 concentred 99 488 cannon 101 488 upon 103 488 its 105 488 own 107 488 mad 109 488 mark; 111 488 so 113 488 that 115 488 far 117 488 from 119 488 having 121 488 lost 123 488 his 125 488 strength, 127 488 Ahab, 129 488 to 131 488 that 133 488 one 135 488 end, 137 488 did 139 488 now 141 488 possess 143 488 a 145 488 thousand 147 488 fold 149 488 more 151 488 potency 153 488 than 155 488 ever 157 488 he 159 488 had 161 488 sanely 163 488 brought 165 488 to 167 488 bear 169 488 upon 171 488 any 173 488 one 175 488 reasonable 177 488 object. 179 488 This 181 488 is 185 488 much; 187 488 yet 189 488 Ahab's 191 488 larger, 193 488 darker, 195 488 deeper 197 488 part 199 488 remains 201 488 unhinted. 203 488 But 205 488 vain 207 488 to 209 488 popularize 211 488 profundities, 213 488 and 215 488 all 217 488 truth 219 488 is 221 488 profound. 223 488 Winding 225 488 far 227 488 down 229 488 from 231 488 within 233 488 the 235 488 very 237 488 heart 239 488 of 241 488 this 243 488 spiked 245 488 Hotel 247 488 de 249 488 Cluny 251 488 where 253 488 we 255 488 here 257 488 stand--however 259 488 grand 261 488 and 263 488 wonderful, 265 488 now 267 488 quit 269 488 it;--and 271 488 take 273 488 your 275 488 way, 277 488

488 fantastic 311 488 towers 313 488 of 315 488 man's 317 488 upper 319 488 earth, 321 488 his 323 488 root 325 488 of 327 488 grandeur, 329 488 his 331 488 whole 333 488 awful 335 488 essence 337 488 sits 339 488 in 341 488 bearded 343 488 state; 345 488 an 347 488 antique 349 488 buried 351 488 beneath 353 488 antiquities, 355 488 and 357 488 throned 359 488 on 361 488 torsoes! 363 488 So 365 488 with 367 488 a 369 488 broken 371 488 throne, 373 488 the 375 488 great 377 488 gods 379 488 mock 381 488 that 383 488 captive 385 488 king; 387 488 so 389 488 like 391 488 a 393 488 Caryatid, 395 488 he 397 488 patient 399 488 sits, 401 488 upholding 403 488 on 405 488 his 407 488 frozen 409 488 brow 411 488 the 413 488 piled 415 488 entablatures 417 488 of 419 488 ages. 421 488 Wind 423 488 ye

455 488 aye, 457 488 he 459 488 did 461 488 beget 463 488 ye, 465 488 ye 467 488 young 469 488 exiled 471 488 royalties; 473 488 and 475 488 from 477 488 your 479 488 grim 481 488 sire 483 488 only 485 488 will 487 488 the 1 489 old 2 489 State-secret 4 489 come. 5 489 Now, 7 489 in 8 489 his 10 489 heart, 11 489 Ahab 13 489 had 14 489 some 16 489 glimpse 17 489 of 19 489 this, 20 489 namely: 22 489 all 23 489 my 25 489 means 26 489 are 28 489 sane, 29 489 my 31 489 motive 32 489 and 34 489 my 35 489 object 37 489 mad. 38 489 Yet 40 489 without 41 489 power 43 489 to 44 489 kill, 46 489 or 47 489 change, 49 489 or 50 489 shun 52 489 the 53 489 fact; 55 489 he 56 489 likewise 58 489 knew 59 489 that 61 489 to 62 489 mankind 64 489 he 65 489 did 67 489 long 68 489 dissemble; 70 489 in 71 489 some 73 489 sort, 74 489 did 76 489 still. 77 489 But 79 489 that 80 489 thing 82 489 of 83 489 his 85 489 dissembling 86 489 was 88 489 only 89 489 subject 91 489 to 92 489 his 94 489 perceptibility, 95 489 not 97 489 to 98 489 his 100 489 will 101 489 determinate. 103 489 Nevertheless, 104 489 so 106 489 well 107 489 did 109 489 he 110 489 succeed 112 489 in 113 489 that 115 489 dissembling, 116 489 that 118 489 when 119 489 with 121 489 ivory 122 489 leg 124 489 he 125 489 stepped 127 489 ashore 128 489 at 130 489 last, 131 489 no 133 489 Nantucketer 134 489 thought 136 489 him 137 489 otherwise 139 489 than 140 489 but 142 489 naturally 143 489 grieved, 145 489 and 146 489 that 148 489 to 149 489 the 151 489 quick, 152 489 with 154 489 the 155 489 terrible 157 489 casualty 158 489 which 160 489 had 161 489 overtaken 164 489 him. 166 489 The 167 489 report 169 489 of 170 489 his 172 489 undeniable 173 489 delirium 175 489 at 176 489 sea 178 489 was 179 489 likewise 181 489 popularly 182 489 ascribed 184 489 to 185 489 a 187 489 kindred 188 489 cause. 190 489 And 191 489 so 193 489 too, 194 489 all 196 489 the 197 489 added 199 489 moodiness 200 489 which 202 489 always 203 489 afterwards, 205 489 to 206 489 the 208 489 very 209 489 day 211 489 of 212 489 sailing 214 489 in 215 489 the 217 489 Pequod 218 489 on 220 489 the 221 489 present 223 489 voyage, 224 489 sat 226 489 brooding 227 489 on 229 489 his 230 489 brow. 232 489 Nor 233 489 is 235 489 it 236 489 so 238 489 very 239 489 unlikely, 241 489 that 242 489 far 244 489 from 245 489 distrusting 247 489 his 248 489 fitness 250 489 for 251 489 another 253 489 whaling 254 489 voyage, 256 489 on 257 489 account 259 489 of 260 489 such 262 489 dark 263 489 symptoms, 265 489 the 266 489 calculating 268 489 people 269 489 of 271 489 that 272 489 prudent 274 489 isle 275 489 were 277 489 inclined 278 489 to 280 489 harbor 281 489 the 283 489 conceit, 284 489 that 286 489 for 287 489 those 289 489 very 290 489 reasons 292 489 he 293 489 was 295 489 all 296 489 the 298 489 better 299 489 qualified 301 489 and 302 489 set 304 489 on 305 489 edge, 307 489 for 308 489 a 310 489 pursuit 311 489 so 313 489 full 314 489 of 316 489 rage 317 489 and 319 489 wildness 320 489 as 322 489 the 323 489 bloody 325 489 hunt 328 489 of 329 489 whales. 331 489 Gnawed 332 489 within 334 489 and 335 489 scorched 337

489 he 359 489 be 361 489 found, 362 489 would 364 489 seem 365 489 the 367 489 very 368 489 man 370 489 to 371 489 dart 373 489 his 374 489 iron 376 489 and 377 489 lift 379 489 his 380 489 lance 382

489 corporeally 406 489 incapacitated 407 489 for 409 489 that, 410 489 yet 412 489 such 413 489 an 415 489 one 416 489 would 418 489 seem 419 489 superlatively 421 489 competent 422 489 to 424 489

keyed 472 489 in 473 489 him, 475 489 Ahab 476 489 had 478 489 purposely 479 489 sailed 481 489 upon 482 489 the 484 489 present 485 489 voyage 487 489 with 488 489 the 1 490 one 3 490 only 9 490 and

471 490 so 473 490 aboundingly 477 490 responded 479 490 to 481 490 the 487 490 old 489 490 man's 1 491 ire--by 2 491 what 3 491 evil 4 491 magic 5 491 their 6 491 souls 7 491 were 8 491 possessed, 9 491 that 10 491 at 11 491 times 12 491 his 13 491 hate 14 491 seemed 15 491 almost 16 491 theirs; 17 491 the 18 491 White 19 491 Whale 20 491 as 21 491 much 22 491 their 23 491 insufferable 24 491 foe

491 was 165 491 to 166 491 Ahab, 167 491 has 168 491 been 169 491 hinted; 170 491 what, 171 491 at 172 491 times, 173 491 he 174 491 was 175 491 to 176 491 me, 177 491 as 178 491 yet 179 491 remains 180 491 unsaid. 181 491 Aside 182 491 from 183 491 those 184 491 more 185 491 obvious 186 491 considerations 187 491 touching 188 491 Moby 189 491 Dick, 190 491 which 191 491 could 192 491 not 193 491 but 194 491 occasionally 195 491 awaken 196 491 in 197 491 any 198 491 man's 199 491 soul 200 491 some 201 491 alarm, 202 491 there 203 491 was 204 491 another 205 491 thought, 206 491 or 207 491 rather 208 491 vague, 209 491 nameless 210 491 horror 211 491 concerning 212 491 him, 213 491 which 214 491 at 215 491 times 216 491 by 217 491 its 218 491 intensity 219 491 completely 220 491 overpowered 221 491 all 222 491 the 223 491 rest; 224 491 and 225 491 yet 226 491 so 227 491 mystical 228 491 and 229 491 well 230 491 nigh 231 491 ineffable 232 491 was 233 491 it, 234 491 that 235 491 I 236 491 almost 237 491 despair 238 491 of 239 491 putting 240 491 it 241 491 in 242 491 a 243 491 comprehensible 244 491 form. 245 491 It 246 491 was 247 491 the 248 491 whiteness 249 491 of 250

myself 266 491 here; 267 491 and 268 491 yet, 269 491 in 270 491 some 271 491 dim, 272 491 random 273 491 way, 274 491 explain 275 491 myself 276 491 I 277 491 must, 278 491 else 279 491 all 280 491 these 281 491 chapters 282 491 might 283 491 be 284 491 naught. 285 491 Though 286 491 in 287 491 many 288 491 natural 289 491 objects, 290 491 whiteness 291 491 refiningly 292 491 enhances 293 491

preeminence 322 491 in 323 491 this 324 491 hue; 325 491 even 326 491 the 327 491 barbaric, 328 491 grand 329 491 old 330 491 kings 331 491 of 332 491 Pegu 333 491 placing 334 491 the 335 491 title

ordinary 369 493 moods, 370 493 strangely 371 493 tallies 372 493 with 373 493 the 375 493 same 376 493 quality 378 493 in 379 493 the 380 493 Polar 381 493 quadruped. 382 493 This 383 493 peculiarity 384 493 is 385 493 most 386 493 vividly 387 493 hit 388 493 by 389 493 the 390 493 French 392 493 in 393 493 the 394 493 name 395 493 they 396 493 bestow 397 493 upon 398 493 that 399 493 fish. 400 493 The 401 493 Romish 402 493 mass 403 493 for 404 493 the 405 493 dead 407 493 begins 409 493 with 410 493 "Requiem 411 493 eternam" 412 493 (eternal 413 493 rest), 414 493 whence 415 493 REQUIEM 416 493 denominating 417 493 the 418 493 mass 419 493 itself, 420 493 and 421 493 any 422 493 other 423 493 funeral 424 493 music. 426 493 Now, 427 493 in 428 493 allusion 429 493 to 430 493 the 431 493 white, 432 493 silent 433 493 stillness 434 493 of 436 493 death 437 493 in 438 493 this 439 493 shark, 440 493 and 441 493 the 443 493 mild 444 493 deadliness 445 493 of 446 493 his 447 493 habits, 448 493 the 449 493 French 450 493 call 451 493 him 452 493 REQUIN. 453 493 Bethink 454 493 thee 455 493 of 456 493 the 457 493 albatross, 458 493 whence 460 493 come 461 493 those 462 493 clouds 463 493 of 465 493 spiritual 466 493 wonderment 467 493 and 468 493 pale 469 493 dread, 470 493 in 471 493 which 472 493 that 473 493 white 474 493 phantom 475 493 sails 477 493 in 478 493 all 479 493 imaginations? 480 493 Not 481 493 Coleridge 482 493 first 483 493 threw 484 493 that 485 493 spell; 486 493 but 487 493 God's 488 493 great, 489 493 unflattering 490 493 laureate, 491 493 Nature.* 492 493 *I 1 494 remember 3 494 the 5 494 first 7 494 albatross 9 494 I 11 494 ever 15 494 saw. 17 494 It 21 494 was 23 494 during 25 494 a 27 494 prolonged 29 494 gale, 31 494 in 33 494 waters 35 494 hard 37 494 upon 41 494 the 43 494 Antarctic 45 494 seas. 47 494 From 49 494 my 51 494 forenoon 53 494 watch 55 494 below, 59 494 I 61 494 ascended 63 494 to 67 494 the 69 494 overclouded 71 494 deck; 73 494 and 75 494 there, 77 494 dashed 79 494 upon 81 494 the 83 494 main 85 494 hatches, 87 494 I 89 494 saw 93 494 a 97 494 regal, 99 494 feathery 101 494 thing 103 494 of 105 494 unspotted 107 494 whiteness, 109 494 and 111 494 with 113 494 a 115 494 hooked, 119 494 Roman 121 494 bill 123 494 sublime. 125 494 At 127 494 intervals, 129 494 it 131 494 arched 135 494 forth 137 494 its 139 494 vast 141 494 archangel 145 494 wings, 147 494 as 149 494 if 151 494 to 153 494 embrace 155 494 some 157 494 holy 159 494 ark. 161 494 Wondrous 163 494 flutterings 165 494 and 167 494 throbbings 173 494 shook 175 494 it. 177 494 Though 179 494 bodily 181 494 unharmed, 183 494 it 185 494 uttered 187 494 cries, 189 494 as 191 494 some 193 494 king's 197 494 ghost 199 494 in 201 494 supernatural 203 494 distress. 205 494 Through 207 494 its 211 494 inexpressible, 213 494 strange 215 494 eyes, 217 494 methought 219 494 I 223 494 peeped 225 494 to 227 494 secrets 229 494 which 231 494 took 233 494 hold 235 494 of 237 494 God. 239 494 As 241 494 Abraham 243 494 before 245 494 the 249 494 angels, 251 494 I 253 494 bowed 255 494 myself; 257 494 the 259 494 white 261 494 thing 263 494 was 265 494 so 267 494 white, 269 494 its 271 494 wings 275 494 so 277 494 wide, 279 494 and 281 494 in 283 494 those 287 494 for 289 494 ever 291 494 exiled 293 494 waters, 295 494 I 297 494 had 301 494 lost 303 494 the 305 494 miserable 307 494 warping 309 494 memories 311 494 of 313 494 traditions 315 494 and 317 494 of 319 494 towns. 321 494 Long 327 494 I 329 494 gazed 331 494 at 333 494 that 335 494 prodigy 337 494 of 339 494 plumage. 341 494 I 343 494 cannot 345 494 tell, 347 494 can 349 494 only 353 494 hint, 355 494 the 357 494 things 359 494 that 363 494 darted 365 494 through 367 494 me 369 494 then. 371 494 But 373 494 at 375 494 last 379 494 I 381 494 awoke; 383 494 and 385 494 turning, 387 494 asked 389 494 a 391 494 sailor 393 494 what 395 494 bird 397 494 was 401 494 this. 405 494 A 407 494 goney, 409 494 he 411 494 replied. 413 494 Goney! 415 494 never 417 494 had 419 494 heard 421 494 that 423 494 name 425 494 before; 427 494 is 431 494 it 433 494 conceivable 435 494 that 439 494 this 441 494 glorious 443 494 thing 445 494 is 447 494 utterly 449 494 unknown 451 494 to 453 494 men 457 494 ashore! 459 494 never! 461 494 But 463 494 some 465 494 time 467 494 after, 469 494 I 471 494 learned 473 494 that 477 494 goney 479 494 was 483 494 some 485 494 seaman's 487 494 name 489 494 for 491 494 albatross. 493 494 So 1 495 that 2 495 by 4 495 no 7 495 possibility 8 495 could 13 495 Coleridge's 14 495 wild 16 495 Rhyme 17 495 have 19 495 had 23 495 aught 26 495 to 28 495 do 29 495 with 31 495 those 32 495 mystical 34 495 impressions 37 495 which 38 495 were 41 495 mine, 43 495 when 46 495 I 47 495 saw 49 495 that 52 495 bird 53 495 upon 56 495 our 58 495 deck. 59 495 For 61 495 neither 62 495 had 64 495 I 67 495 then 68 495 read 71 495 the 73 495 Rhyme, 74 495 nor 76 495 knew 79 495 the 82 495 bird 83 495 to 86 495 be 89 495 an 91 495 albatross. 92 495 Yet, 94 495 in 97 495 saying 98 495 this, 101 495 I 103 495 do 104 495 but 106 495 indirectly 107 495 burnish 109 495 a 112 495 little 113 495 brighter 116 495 the 118 495 noble 119 495 merit 122 495 of 124 495 the 127 495 poem 128 495 and 131 495 the 133 495 poet. 134 495 I 136 495 assert, 137 495 then, 139 495 that 142 495 in 146 495 the 148 495 wondrous 149 495 bodily 151 495 whiteness 152 495 of 157 495 the 158 495 bird 161 495 chiefly 163 495 lurks 164 495 the 166 495 secret 167 495 of 169 495 the 172 495 spell; 173 495 a 178 495 truth 179 495 the 181 495 more 182 495 evinced 184 495 in 188 495 this, 191 495 that 193 495 by 194 495 a 196 495 solecism 197 495 of 199 495 terms 202 495 there 203 495 are 206 495 birds 208 495 called 211 495 grey 212 495 albatrosses; 214 495 and 217 495 these 218 495 I 221 495 have 223 495 frequently 224 495 seen, 226 495 but 227 495 never 229 495 with 232 495 such 233 495 emotions 236 495 as 238 495 when 239 495 I 241 495 beheld 244 495 the 247 495 Antarctic 248 495 fowl. 251 495 But 254 495 how 256 495 had 257 495 the 259 495 mystic 262 495 thing 263 495 been 266 495 caught? 268 495 Whisper 269 495 it 271 495 not, 272 495 and 274 495 I 277 495 will 278 495 tell; 281 495 with 283 495 a 284 495 treacherous 287 495 hook 289 495 and 292 495 line, 293 495 as 296 495 the 298 495 fowl 299 495 floated 301 495 on 302 495 the 304 495 sea. 307 495 At 311 495 last 313 495 the 314 495 Captain 316 495 made 317 495 a 322 495 postman 323 495 of 326 495 it; 328 495 tying 329 495 a 331 495 lettered, 332 495 leathern 334 495 tally 337 495 round 338 495 its 343 495 neck, 344 495 with 346 495 the 347 495 ship's 349 495 time 353 495 and 356 495 place; 358 495 and 359 495 then 361 495 letting 362 495 it 364 495 escape. 367 495 But 368 495 I 371 495 doubt 373 495 not, 376 495 that 377 495 leathern 379 495 tally, 382 495 meant 383 495 for 386 495 man, 388 495 was 389 495 taken 391 495 off 392 495 in 394 495 Heaven, 397 495 when 398 495 the 401 495 white 403 495 fowl 404 495 flew 406 495 to 409 495 join 412 495 the 413 495 wing-folding, 416 495 the 419 495 invoking, 421 495 and 422 495 adoring 424 495 cherubim! 427 495 Most 428 495 famous 431 495 in 433 495 our 434 495 Western 436 495 annals 437 495 and 439 495 Indian 442 495 traditions 443 495 is 446 495 that 448 495 of 449 495 the 452 495 White 454 495 Steed 457 495 of 458 495 the 461 495 Prairies; 463 495 a 464 495 magnificent 466 495 milk-white 467 495 charger, 469 495 large-eyed, 472 495 small-headed, 476 495 bluff-chested, 478 495 and 479 495 with 481 495 the 482 495 dignity 487 495 of 488 495 a 491 495 thousand 493 495 monarchs 494 495 in 1 496 his 3 496 lofty, 5 496 overscorning 7 496 carriage. 9 496 He 11 496 was 13 496 the 15 496 elected 17 496 Xerxes 19 496 of 21 496 vast 23 496 herds 25 496 of 27 496 wild 29 496 horses, 33 496 whose 35 496 pastures 37 496 in 39 496 those 41 496 days 43 496 were 45 496 only 47 496 fenced 49 496 by 51 496 the 53 496 Rocky 55 496 Mountains 57 496 and 59 496 the 61 496 Alleghanies. 63 496 At 65 496 their 67 496 flaming 69 496 head 71 496 he 73 496 westward 75 496 trooped 77 496 it 79 496 like 81 496 that 83 496 chosen 85 496 star 87 496 which 89 496 every 91 496 evening 95 496 leads 97 496 on 99 496 the 101 496 hosts 103 496 of 105 496 light. 107 496 The 109 496 flashing 111 496 cascade 113 496 of 115 496 his 117 496 mane, 119 496 the 121 496 curving 123 496 comet 125 496 of 127 496 his 129 496 tail, 131 496 invested 133 496 him 135 496 with 137 496 housings 139 496 more 141 496 resplendent 143 496 than 145 496 gold 147 496 and 149 496 silver-beaters 151 496 could 153 496 have 157 496 furnished 159 496 him. 161 496 A 163 496 most 165 496 imperial 167 496 and 169 496 archangelical 171 496 apparition 173 496 of 175 496 that 177 496 unfallen, 179 496 western 181 496 world, 183 496 which 185 496 to 187 496 the 189 496 eyes 191 496 of 193 496 the 195 496 old 197 496 trappers 199 496 and 201 496 hunters 203 496 revived 205 496 the 207 496 glories 209 496 of 211 496 those 213 496 primeval 215 496 times 219 496 when 221 496 Adam 223 496 walked 225 496 majestic 227 496 as 229 496 a 231 496 god, 233 496 bluff-browed 235 496 and 237 496 fearless 239 496 as 241 496 this 243 496 mighty 245 496 steed. 247 496 Whether 249 496 marching 251 496 amid 253 496 his 255 496 aides 257 496 and 259 496 marshals 261 496 in 263 496 the 265 496 van 267 496 of 269 496 countless 271 496 cohorts 273 496 that 275 496 endlessly 277 496 streamed 281 496 it 283 496 over 285 496 the 287 496 plains, 289 496 like 291 496 an 293 496 Ohio; 295 496 or 297 496 whether 299 496 with 301 496 his 303 496 circumambient 305 496 subjects 307 496 browsing 309 496 all 311 496 around 313 496 at 315 496 the 317 496 horizon, 319 496 the 321 496 White 323 496 Steed 325 496 gallopingly 327 496 reviewed 329 496 them 331 496 with 333 496 warm 335 496 nostrils 337 496 reddening 339 496 through 343 496 his 345 496 cool 347 496 milkiness; 349 496 in 351 496 whatever 353 496 aspect 355 496 he 357 496 presented 359 496 himself, 361 496 always 363 496 to 365 496 the 367 496 bravest 369 496 Indians 371 496 he 373 496 was 375 496 the 377 496 object 379 496 of 381 496 trembling 383 496 reverence 385 496 and 387 496 awe. 389 496 Nor 391 496 can 393 496 it 395 496 be 397 496 questioned 399 496 from 401 496 what 405 496 stands 407 496 on 409 496 legendary 411 496 record 413 496 of 415 496 this 417 496 noble 419 496 horse, 421 496 that 423 496 it 425 496 was 427 496 his 429 496 spiritual 431 496 whiteness 433 496 chiefly, 435 496 which 437 496 so 439 496 clothed 441 496 him 443 496 with 445 496 divineness; 447 496 and 449 496 that 451 496 this 453 496 divineness 455 496 had 457 496 that 459 496 in 461 496 it 463 496 which, 467 496 though 469 496 commanding 471 496 worship, 473 496 at 475 496 the 477 496 same 479 496 time 481 496 enforced 483 496 a 485 496 certain 487 496 nameless 489 496 terror. 491 496 But 493 496 there 495 496 are 1 497 other 2 497 instances 3 497 where 4 497 this 5 497 whiteness 6 497 loses 8 497 all 9 497 that 10 497 accessory 11 497 and 12 497 strange 13 497 glory 15 497 which 16 497 invests 17 497 it 18 497 in 19 497 the 20 497 White 22 497 Steed 23 497 and 24 497 Albatross. 25 497 What 26 497 is 27 497 it 29 497 that 30 497 in 31 497 the 32 497 Albino 33 497 man 34 497 so 36 497 peculiarly 37 497 repels 38 497 and 39 497 often 40 497 shocks 41 497 the 43 497 eye, 44 497 as 45 497 that 46 497 sometimes 47 497 he 48 497 is 50 497 loathed 51 497 by 52 497 his 53 497 own 54 497 kith 55 497 and 57 497 kin! 58 497 It 59 497 is 60 497 that 61 497 whiteness 62 497 which 64 497 invests 65 497 him, 66 497 a 67 497 thing 68 497 expressed 69 497 by 72 497 the 73 497 name 74 497 he 75 497 bears. 76 497 The 78 497 Albino 79 497 is 80 497 as 81 497 well 82 497 made 83 497 as 85 497 other 86 497 men--has 87 497 no 88 497 substantive 89 497 deformity--and 90 497 yet 92 497 this 93 497 mere 94 497 aspect 95 497 of 96 497 all-pervading 97 497 whiteness 99 497 makes 100 497 him 101 497 more 102 497 strangely 103 497 hideous 104 497 than 106 497 the 107 497 ugliest 108 497 abortion. 109 497 Why 110 497 should 111 497 this 113 497 be 114 497 so? 115 497 Nor, 116 497 in 117 497 quite 118 497 other 120 497 aspects, 121 497 does 122 497 Nature 123 497 in 124 497 her 125 497 least 127 497 palpable 128 497 but 129 497 not 130 497 the 131 497 less 132 497 malicious 134 497 agencies, 135 497 fail 136 497 to 137 497 enlist 138 497 among 139 497 her 141 497 forces 143 497 this 144 497 crowning 145 497 attribute 146 497 of 148 497 the 149 497 terrible. 150 497 From 151 497 its 152 497 snowy 153 497 aspect, 155 497 the 156 497 gauntleted 157 497 ghost 158 497 of 159 497 the 160 497 Southern 162 497 Seas 163 497 has 164 497 been 165 497 denominated 166 497 the 167 497 White 169 497 Squall. 170 497 Nor, 171 497 in 172 497 some 173 497 historic 174 497 instances, 176 497 has 177 497 the 178 497 art 179 497 of 180 497 human 181 497 malice 183 497 omitted 184 497 so 185 497 potent 186 497 an 187 497 auxiliary. 188 497 How 190 497 wildly 191 497 it 192 497 heightens 193 497 the 194 497 effect 195 497 of 197 497 that 198 497 passage 199 497 in 200 497 Froissart, 201 497 when, 202 497 masked 204 497 in 205 497 the 206 497 snowy 207 497 symbol 208 497 of 209 497 their 211 497 faction, 212 497 the 214 497 desperate 215 497 White 216 497 Hoods 218 497 of 219 497 Ghent 220 497 murder 221 497 their 222 497 bailiff 223 497 in 225 497 the 226 497 market-place! 227 497 Nor, 228 497 in 229 497 some 230 497 things, 232 497 does 233 497 the 234 497 common, 235 497 hereditary 236 497 experience 237 497 of 239 497 all 240 497 mankind 241 497 fail 242 497 to 243 497 bear 244 497 witness 246 497 to 247 497 the 248 497 supernaturalism 249 497 of 250 497 this 251 497 hue. 253 497 It 254 497 cannot 255 497 well 256 497 be 257 497 doubted, 258 497 that 260 497 the 261 497 one 262 497 visible 263 497 quality 264 497 in 265 497 the 267 497 aspect 268 497 of 269 497 the 270 497 dead 271 497 which 272 497 most 274 497 appals 275 497 the 276 497 gazer, 277 497 is 278 497 the 279 497 marble 281 497 pallor 282 497 lingering 283 497 there; 285 497 as 286 497 if 288 497 indeed 289 497 that 290 497 pallor 291 497 were 292 497 as 293 497 much 295 497 like 296 497 the 297 497 badge 298 497 of 299 497 consternation 300 497 in 302 497 the 303 497 other 304 497 world, 305 497 as 306 497 of 307 497 mortal 309 497 trepidation 310 497 here. 311 497 And 312 497 from 313 497 that 314 497 pallor 316 497 of 317 497 the 318 497 dead, 319 497 we 320 497 borrow 321 497 the 323 497 expressive 324 497 hue 325 497 of 326 497 the 327 497 shroud 328 497 in 330 497 which 331 497 we 332 497 wrap 333 497 them. 334 497 Nor 335 497 even 337 497 in 338 497 our 339 497 superstitions 340 497 do 341 497 we 342 497 fail 344 497 to 345 497 throw 346 497 the 347 497 same 348 497 snowy 349 497 mantle 351 497 round 352 497 our 353 497 phantoms; 354 497 all 356 497 ghosts 358 497 rising 359 497 in 360 497 a 361 497 milk-white 362 497 fog--Yea, 363 497 while 365 497 these 366 497 terrors 367 497 seize 368 497 us, 369 497 let 370 497 us 372 497 add, 373 497 that 374 497 even 375 497 the 376 497 king 377 497 of 379 497 terrors, 380 497 when 381 497 personified 382 497 by 383 497 the 384 497 evangelist, 386 497 rides 387 497 on 388 497 his 389 497 pallid 390 497 horse. 391 497 Therefore, 393 497 in 394 497 his 395 497 other 396 497 moods, 397 497 symbolize 398 497 whatever 400 497 grand 401 497 or 402 497 gracious 403 497 thing 404 497 he 405 497 will 407 497 by 408 497 whiteness, 409 497 no 410 497 man 411 497 can 412 497 deny 414 497 that 415 497 in 416 497 its 417 497 profoundest 418 497 idealized 419 497 significance 421 497 it 422 497 calls 423 497 up 424 497 a 425 497 peculiar 428 497 apparition 429 497 to 430 497 the 431 497 soul. 432 497 But 433 497 though 435 497 without 436 497 dissent 437 497 this 438 497 point 439 497 be 440 497 fixed, 442 497 how 443 497 is 444 497 mortal 445 497 man 446 497 to 447 497 account 449 497 for 450 497 it? 451 497 To 452 497 analyse 453 497 it, 454 497 would 456 497 seem 457 497 impossible. 458 497 Can 459 497 we, 460 497 then, 461 497 by 463 497 the 464 497 citation 465 497 of 466 497 some 467 497 of 468 497 those 470 497 instances 471 497 wherein 472 497 this 473 497 thing 474 497 of 475 497 whiteness--though 477 497 for 478 497 the 479 497 time 480 497 either 481 497 wholly 482 497 or 484 497 in 485 497 great 486 497 part 487 497 stripped 488 497 of 489 497 all 491 497 direct 492 497 associations 493 497 calculated 494 497 to 495 497 impart 496 497 to 1 498 it 5 498 aught 7 498 fearful, 11 498 but 13 498 nevertheless, 17 498 is 19 498 found 23 498 to 25 498 exert 29 498 over 31 498 us 35 498 the 37 498 same 41 498 sorcery, 43 498 however 47 498 modified;--can 49 498 we 53 498 thus 55 498 hope 59 498 to 61 498 light 65 498 upon 67 498 some 71 498 chance 73 498 clue 77 498 to 79 498 conduct 85 498 us 89 498 to 91 498 the 95 498 hidden 97 498 cause 101 498 we 103 498 seek? 107 498 Let 109 498 us 113 498 try. 115 498 But 119 498 in 121 498 a 125 498 matter 127 498 like 131 498 this, 133 498 subtlety 137 498 appeals 139 498 to 143 498 subtlety, 145 498 and 149 498 without 151 498 imagination 155 498 no 157 498 man 161 498 can 163 498 follow 167 498 another 169 498 into 173 498 these 175 498 halls. 179 498 And 181 498 though, 185 498 doubtless, 187 498 some 191 498 at 193 498 least 197 498 of 199 498 the 203 498 imaginative 205 498 impressions 209 498 about 211 498 to 215 498 be 217 498 presented 221 498 may 223 498 have 227 498 been 229 498 shared 233 498 by 235 498 most 239 498 men, 241 498 yet 245 498 few 247 498 perhaps 251 498 were 253 498 entirely 257 498 conscious 259 498 of 263 498 them 265 498 at 269 498 the 271 498 time, 275 498 and 277 498 therefore 281 498 may 283 498 not 287 498 be 289 498 able 293 498 to 295 498 recall 299 498 them 301 498 now. 305 498 Why 307 498 to 311 498 the 313 498 man 317 498 of 319 498 untutored 323 498 ideality, 325 498 who 329 498 happens 331 498 to 335 498 be 337 498 but 341 498 loosely 343 498 acquainted 347 498 with 349 498 the 353 498 peculiar 355 498 character 359 498 of 361 498 the 365 498 day, 367 498 does 371 498 the 373 498 bare 377 498 mention 379 498 of 383 498 Whitsuntide 385 498 marshal 389 498 in 391 498 the 395 498 fancy 397 498 such 401 498 long, 403 498 dreary, 407 498 speechless 409 498 processions 413 498 of 419 498 slow-pacing 421 498 pilgrims, 425 498 down-cast 427 498 and 431 498 hooded 433 498 with 437 498 new-fallen 439 498 snow? 443 498 Or, 445 498 to 449 498 the 451 498 unread, 455 498 unsophisticated 457 498 Protestant 461 498 of 463 498 the 467 498 Middle 469 498 American 473 498 States, 475 498 why 479 498 does 481 498 the 485 498 passing 487 498 mention 491 498 of 493 498 a 497 498 White 1 499 Friar 2 499 or 3 499 a 4 499 White 5 499 Nun, 6 499 evoke 7 499 such 8 499 an 9 499 eyeless 10 499 statue 11 499 in 12 499 the 13 499 soul? 14 499 Or 15 499 what 16 499 is 17 499 there 18 499 apart 19 499 from 20 499 the 21 499 traditions 22 499 of 23 499 dungeoned 24 499 warriors 25 499 and 26 499 kings 27 499 (which 28 499 will 29 499 not 30 499 wholly 31 499 account 32 499 for 33 499 it) 34 499 that 35 499 makes 36 499 the 37 499 White 38 499 Tower 39 499 of 40 499 London 41 499 tell 42 499 so 43 499 much 44 499 more 45 499 strongly 46 499 on 47 499 the 48 499 imagination 49 499 of 50 499 an 51 499 untravelled 52 499 American, 53 499 than 54 499 those 55 499 other 56 499 storied 57 499 structures, 58 499 its 59 499 neighbors--the 60 499 Byward 61 499 Tower, 62 499 or 63 499 even 64 499 the 65 499 Bloody? 66 499 And 67 499 those 68 499 sublimer 69 499 towers, 70 499 the 71 499 White 72 499 Mountains 73 499 of 74 499 New 75 499 Hampshire, 76 499 whence, 77 499 in 78 499 peculiar 79 499 moods, 80 499 comes 81 499 that 82 499 gigantic 83 499 ghostliness 84 499 over 85 499 the 86 499 soul 87 499 at 88 499 the 89 499 bare 90 499 mention 91 499 of 92 499 that 93 499 name, 94 499 while 95 499 the 96 499 thought 97 499 of 98 499 Virginia's 99 499 Blue 100 499 Ridge 101 499 is 102 499 full 103 499 of 104 499 a 105 499 soft, 106 499 dewy, 107 499 distant 108 499 dreaminess? 109 499 Or 110 499 why, 111 499 irrespective 112 499 of 113 499 all 114 499 latitudes 115 499 and 116 499 longitudes, 117 499 does 118 499 the 119 499 name 120 499 of 121 499 the 122 499 White 123 499 Sea 124 499 exert 125 499 such 126 499 a 127 499 spectralness 128 499 over 129 499 the 130 499 fancy, 131 499 while 132 499 that 133 499 of 134 499 the 135 499 Yellow 136 499 Sea 137 499 lulls 138 499 us 139 499 with 140 499 mortal 141 499 thoughts 142 499 of 143 499 long 144 499 lacquered 145 499 mild 146 499 afternoons 147 499 on 148 499 the 149 499 waves, 150 499 followed 151 499 by 152 499 the 153 499 gaudiest 154 499 and 155 499 yet 156 499 sleepiest 157 499 of 158 499 sunsets? 159 499 Or, 160 499 to 161 499 choose 162 499 a 163 499 wholly 164 499 unsubstantial 165 499 instance, 166 499 purely 167 499 addressed 168 499 to 169 499 the 170 499 fancy, 171 499 why, 172 499 in 173 499 reading 174 499 the 175 499 old 176 499 fairy 177 499 tales 178 499 of 179 499 Central 180 499 Europe, 181 499 does 182 499 "the 183 499 tall 184 499 pale 185 499 man" 186 499 of 187 499 the 188 499 Hartz 189 499 forests, 190 499 whose 191 499 changeless 192 499 pallor 193 499 unrustlingly 194 499 glides 195 499 through 196 499 the 197 499 green 198 499 of 199 499 the 200 499 groves--why 201 499 is 202 499 this 203 499 phantom 204 499 more 205 499 terrible 206 499 than 207 499 all 208 499 the 209 499 whooping 210 499 imps 211 499 of 212 499 the 213 499 Blocksburg? 214 499 Nor 215 499 is 216 499 it, 217 499 altogether, 218 499 the 219 499 remembrance 220 499 of 221 499 her 222 499 cathedral-toppling 223 499 earthquakes; 224 499 nor 225 499 the 226 499 stampedoes 227 499 of 228 499 her 229 499 frantic 230 499 seas; 231 499 nor 232 499 the 233 499 tearlessness 234 499 of 235 499 arid 236 499 skies 237 499 that 238 499 never 239 499 rain; 240 499 nor 241 499 the 242 499 sight 243 499 of 244 499 her 245 499 wide 246 499 field 247 499 of 248 499 leaning 249 499 spires, 250 499 wrenched 251 499 cope-stones, 252 499 and 253 499 crosses 254 499 all 255 499 adroop 256 499 (like 257 499 canted 258 499 yards 259 499 of 260 499 anchored 261 499 fleets); 262 499 and 263 499 her 264 499 suburban 265 499 avenues 266 499 of 267 499 house-walls 268 499 lying 269 499 over 270 499 upon 271 499 each 272 499 other, 273 499 as 274 499 a 275 499 tossed 276 499 pack 277 499 of 278 499 cards;--it 279 499 is 280 499 not 281 499 these 282 499 things 283 499 alone 284 499 which 285 499 make 286 499 tearless 287 499 Lima, 288 499 the 289 499 strangest, 290 499 saddest 291 499 city 292 499 thou 293 499 can'st 294 499 see. 295 499 For 296 499 Lima 297 499 has 298 499 taken 299 499 the 300 499 white 301 499 veil; 302 499 and 303 499 there 304 499 is 305 499 a 306 499 higher 307 499 horror 308 499 in 309 499 this 310 499 whiteness 311 499 of 312 499 her 313 499 woe. 314 499 Old 315 499 as 316 499 Pizarro, 317 499 this 318 499 whiteness 319 499 keeps 320 499 her 321 499 ruins 322 499 for 323 499 ever 324 499 new; 325 499 admits 326 499 not 327 499 the 328 499 cheerful 329 499 greenness 330 499 of 331 499 complete 332 499 decay; 333 499 spreads 334 499 over 335 499 her 336 499 broken 337 499 ramparts 338 499 the 339 499 rigid 340 499 pallor 341 499 of 342 499 an 343 499 apoplexy 344 499 that 345 499 fixes 346 499 its 347 499 own 348 499 distortions. 349 499 I 350 499 know 351 499 that, 352 499 to 353 499 the 354 499 common 355 499 apprehension, 356 499 this 357 499 phenomenon 358 499 of 359 499 whiteness 360 499 is 361 499 not 362 499 confessed 363 499 to 364 499 be 365 499 the 366 499 prime 367 499 agent 368 499 in 369 499 exaggerating 370 499 the 371 499 terror 372 499 of 373 499 objects 374 499 otherwise 375 499 terrible; 376 499 nor 377 499 to 378 499 the 379 499 unimaginative 380 499 mind 381 499 is 382 499 there 383 499 aught 384 499 of 385 499 terror 386 499 in 387 499 those 388 499 appearances 389 499 whose 390 499 awfulness 391 499 to 392 499 another 393 499 mind 394 499 almost 395 499 solely 396 499 consists 397 499 in 398 499 this 399 499 one 400 499 phenomenon, 401 499 especially 402 499 when 403 499 exhibited 404 499 under 405 499 any 406 499 form 407 499 at 408 499 all 409 499 approaching 410 499 to 411 499 muteness 412 499 or 413 499 universality. 414 499 What 415 499 I 416 499 mean 417 499 by 418 499 these 419 499 two 420 499 statements 421 499 may 422 499 perhaps 423 499 be 424 499 respectively 425 499 elucidated 426 499 by 427 499 the 428 499 following 429 499 examples. 430 499 First: 431 499 The 432 499 mariner, 433 499 when 434 499 drawing 435 499 nigh 436 499 the 437 499 coasts 438 499 of 439 499 foreign 440 499 lands, 441 499 if 442 499 by 443 499 night 444 499 he 445 499 hear 446 499 the 447 499 roar 448 499 of 449 499 breakers, 450 499 starts 451 499 to 452 499 vigilance, 453 499 and 454 499 feels 455 499 just 456 499 enough 457 499 of 458 499 trepidation 459 499 to 460 499 sharpen 461 499 all 462 499 his 463 499 faculties; 464 499 but 465 499 under 466 499 precisely 467 499 similar 468 499 circumstances, 469 499 let 470 499 him 471 499 be 472 499 called 473 499 from 474 499 his 475 499 hammock 476 499 to 477 499 view 478 499 his 479 499 ship 480 499 sailing 481 499 through 482 499 a 483 499 midnight 484 499 sea 485 499 of 486 499 milky 487 499 whiteness--as 488 499 if 489 499 from 490 499 encircling 491 499 headlands 492 499 shoals 493 499 of 494 499 combed 495 499 white 496 499 bears 497 499 were 498 499 swimming 1 500 round 3 500 him, 7 500 then 9 500 he 11 500 feels 13 500 a 17 500 silent, 19 500 superstitious 21 500 dread; 23 500 the 27 500 shrouded 29 500 phantom 31 500 of 33 500 the 37 500 whitened 39 500 waters 41 500 is 43 500 horrible 47 500 to 49 500 him 51 500 as 53 500 a 57 500 real 59 500 ghost; 61 500 in 63 500 vain 67 500 the 69 500 lead 71 500 assures 73 500 him 77 500 he 79 500 is 81 500 still 83 500 off 87 500 soundings; 89 500 heart 91 500 and 93 500 helm 97 500 they 99 500 both 101 500 go 103 500 down; 107 500 he 109 500 never 111 500 rests 113 500 till 117 500 blue 119 500 water 121 500 is 123 500 under 127 500 him 129 500 again. 131 500 Yet 133 500 where 137 500 is 139 500 the 141 500 mariner 143 500 who 147 500 will 149 500 tell 151 500 thee, 153 500 "Sir, 157 500 it 159 500 was 161 500 not 163 500 so 167 500 much 169 500 the 171 500 fear 173 500 of 177 500 striking 179 500 hidden 181 500 rocks, 183 500 as 187 500 the 189 500 fear 191 500 of 193 500 that 197 500 hideous 199 500 whiteness 201 500 that 203 500 so 207 500 stirred 209 500 me?" 211 500 Second: 213 500 To 217 500 the 219 500 native 221 500 Indian 223 500 of 227 500 Peru, 229 500 the 231 500 continual 233 500 sight 237 500 of 239 500 the 241 500 snowhowdahed 243 500 Andes 247 500 conveys 249 500 naught 251 500 of 253 500 dread, 257 500 except, 259 500 perhaps, 261 500 in 263 500 the 267 500 mere 269 500 fancying 271 500 of 273 500 the 277 500 eternal 279 500 frosted 281 500 desolateness 283 500 reigning 287 500 at 289 500 such 291 500 vast 293 500 altitudes, 297 500 and 299 500 the 301 500 natural 303 500 conceit 307 500 of 309 500 what 311 500 a 313 500 fearfulness 317 500 it 319 500 would 321 500 be 323 500 to 327 500 lose 329 500 oneself 331 500 in 333 500 such 337 500 inhuman 339 500 solitudes. 341 500 Much 343 500 the 347 500 same 349 500 is 351 500 it 353 500 with 357 500 the 359 500 backwoodsman 361 500 of 363 500 the 367 500 West, 369 500 who 371 500 with 373 500 comparative 377 500 indifference 379 500 views 381 500 an 383 500 unbounded 387 500 prairie 389 500 sheeted 391 500 with 393 500 driven 397 500 snow, 399 500 no 401 500 shadow 403 500 of 407 500 tree 409 500 or 411 500 twig 413 500 to 417 500 break 419 500 the 421 500 fixed 423 500 trance 427 500 of 429 500 whiteness. 431 500 Not 433 500 so 437 500 the 439 500 sailor, 441 500 beholding 443 500 the 447 500 scenery 449 500 of 451 500 the 453 500 Antarctic 457 500 seas; 459 500 where 461 500 at 463 500 times, 467 500 by 469 500 some 471 500 infernal 473 500 trick 477 500 of 479 500 legerdemain 481 500 in 483 500 the 487 500 powers 489 500 of 491 500 frost 493 500 and 497 500 air, 499 500 he, 1 501 shivering 2 501 and 4 501 half 5 501 shipwrecked, 7 501 instead 8 501 of 10 501 rainbows 11 501 speaking 13 501 hope 14 501 and 16 501 solace 17 501 to 19 501 his 20 501 misery, 22 501 views 23 501 what 25 501 seems 26 501 a 28 501 boundless 29 501 churchyard 31 501 grinning 32 501 upon 34 501 him 35 501 with 37 501 its 38 501 lean 40 501 ice 41 501 monuments 43 501 and 44 501 splintered 46 501 crosses. 47 501 But 49 501 thou 50 501 sayest, 52 501 methinks 53 501 that 55 501 white-lead 56 501 chapter 58 501 about 59 501 whiteness 61 501 is 62 501 but 64 501 a 65 501 white 67 501 flag 68 501 hung 70 501 out 71 501 from 73 501 a 74 501 craven 76 501 soul; 77 501 thou 79 501 surrenderest 80 501 to 82 501 a 83 501 hypo, 85 501 Ishmael. 86 501 Tell 88 501 me, 89 501 why 91 501 this 92 501 strong 94 501 young 95 501 colt, 97 501 foaled 98 501 in 100 501 some 101 501 peaceful 103 501 valley 104 501 of 106 501 Vermont, 107 501 far 109 501 removed 110 501 from 112 501 all 113 501 beasts 115 501 of 116 501 prey--why 118 501 is 119 501 it 121 501 that 122 501 upon 124 501 the 125 501 sunniest 127 501 day, 128 501 if 130 501 you 131 501 but 133 501 shake 134 501 a 136 501 fresh 137 501 buffalo 139 501 robe 140 501 behind 142 501 him, 143 501 so 145 501 that 146 501 he 148 501 cannot 149 501 even 151 501 see 152 501 it, 154 501 but 155 501 only 157 501 smells 158 501 its 160 501 wild 161 501 animal 163 501 muskiness--why 164 501 will 166 501 he 169 501 start, 170 501 snort, 172 501 and 173 501 with 175 501 bursting 176 501 eyes 178 501 paw 179 501 the 181 501 ground 182 501 in 184 501 phrensies 185 501 of 187 501 affright? 188 501 There 190 501 is 191 501 no 193 501 remembrance 194 501 in 196 501 him 197 501 of 199 501 any 200 501 gorings 202 501 of 203 501 wild 205 501 creatures 206 501 in 208 501 his 209 501 green 211 501 northern 212 501 home, 214 501 so 215 501 that 217 501 the 218 501 strange 220 501 muskiness 221 501 he 223 501 smells 224 501 cannot 226 501 recall 227 501 to 229 501 him 230 501 anything 232 501 associated 233 501 with 235 501 the 236 501 experience 238 501 of 239 501 former 241 501 perils; 242 501 for 244 501 what 245 501 knows 247 501 he, 248 501 this 250 501 New 251 501 England 253 501 colt, 254 501 of 256 501 the 257 501 black 259 501 bisons 260 501 of 262 501 distant 263 501 Oregon? 265 501 No; 266 501 but 268 501 here 269 501 thou 271 501 beholdest 272 501 even 274 501 in 275 501 a 277 501 dumb 278 501 brute, 280 501 the 281 501 instinct 283 501 of 284 501 the 286 501 knowledge 287 501 of 289 501 the 290 501 demonism 292 501 in 293 501 the 295 501 world. 296 501 Though 298 501 thousands 299 501 of 301 501 miles 302 501 from 304 501 Oregon, 305 501 still 307 501 when 308 501 he 310 501 smells 311 501 that 313 501 savage 314 501 musk, 316 501 the 317 501 rending, 319 501 goring 320 501 bison 322 501 herds 323 501 are 325 501 as 326 501 present 328 501 as 329 501 to 331 501 the 332 501 deserted 335 501 wild 337 501 foal 338 501 of 340 501 the 341 501 prairies, 343 501 which 344 501 this 346 501 instant 347 501 they 349 501 may 350 501 be 352 501 trampling 353 501 into 355 501 dust. 356 501 Thus, 358 501 then, 359 501 the 361 501 muffled 362 501 rollings 364 501 of 365 501 a 367 501 milky 368 501 sea; 370 501 the 371 501 bleak 373 501 rustlings 374 501 of 376 501 the 377 501 festooned 379 501 frosts 380 501 of 382 501 mountains; 383 501 the 385 501 desolate 386 501 shiftings 388 501 of 389 501 the 391 501 windrowed 392 501 snows 394 501 of 395 501 prairies; 397 501 all 398 501 these, 400 501 to 401 501 Ishmael, 403 501 are 404 501 as 406 501 the 407 501 shaking 409 501 of 410 501 that 412 501 buffalo 413 501 robe 415 501 to 416 501 the 418 501 frightened 419 501 colt! 421 501 Though 422 501 neither 424 501 knows 425 501 where 427 501 lie 428 501 the 430 501 nameless 431 501 things 433 501 of 434 501 which 436 501 the 437 501 mystic 439 501 sign 440 501 gives 442 501 forth 443 501 such 445 501 hints; 446 501 yet 448 501 with 449 501 me, 451 501 as 452 501 with 454 501 the 455 501 colt, 457 501 somewhere 458 501 those 460 501 things 461 501 must 463 501 exist. 464 501 Though 466 501 in 467 501 many 469 501 of 470 501 its 472 501 aspects 473 501 this 475 501 visible 476 501 world 478 501 seems 479 501 formed 481 501 in 482 501 love, 484 501 the 485 501 invisible 487 501 spheres 488 501 were 490 501 formed 491 501 in 493 501 fright. 494 501 But 496 501 not 497 501 yet 499 501 have 500 501 we 1 502 solved 3 502 the 5 502 incantation 7 502 of 9 502 this 11 502 whiteness, 13 502 and 15 502 learned 17 502 why 19 502 it 21 502 appeals 23 502 with 25 502 such 27 502 power 29 502 to 31 502 the 33 502 soul; 35 502 and 37 502 more 39 502 strange 41 502 and 43 502 far 45 502 more 47 502 portentous--why, 49 502 as 51 502 we 53 502 have 55 502 seen, 57 502 it 59 502 is 61 502 at 63 502 once 65 502 the 67 502 most 69 502 meaning 71 502 symbol 73 502 of 75 502 spiritual 77 502 things, 79 502 nay, 81 502 the 83 502 very 85 502 veil 87 502 of 89 502 the 91 502 Christian's 93 502 Deity; 95 502 and 97 502 yet 99 502 should 101 502 be 103 502 as 105 502 it 107 502 is, 109 502 the 111 502 intensifying 113 502 agent 115 502 in 117 502 things 119 502 the 121 502 most 123 502 appalling 125 502 to 127 502 mankind. 129 502 Is 131 502 it 133 502 that 135 502 by 137 502 its 139 502 indefiniteness 141 502 it 143 502 shadows 145 502 forth 147 502 the 149 502 heartless 151 502 voids 153 502 and 155 502 immensities 157 502 of 159 502 the 161 502 universe, 163 502 and 165 502 thus 167 502 stabs 169 502 us 171 502 from 173 502 behind 175 502 with 177 502 the 179 502 thought 181 502 of 183 502 annihilation, 185 502 when 187 502 beholding 189 502 the 191 502 white 193 502 depths 195 502 of 197 502 the 199 502 milky 201 502 way? 203 502 Or 205 502 is 207 502 it, 209 502 that 211 502 as 213 502 in 215 502 essence 217 502 whiteness 219 502 is 221 502 not 223 502 so 225 502 much 227 502 a 229 502 colour 231 502 as 233 502 the 235 502 visible 237 502 absence 239 502 of 241 502 colour; 243 502 and 245 502 at 247 502 the 249 502 same 253 502 time 255 502 the 257 502 concrete 259 502 of 261 502 all 263 502 colours; 265 502 is 267 502 it 269 502 for 271 502 these 273 502 reasons 275 502 that 277 502 there 279 502 is 281 502 such 283 502 a 285 502 dumb 287 502 blankness, 289 502 full 291 502 of 293 502 meaning, 295 502 in 297 502 a 299 502 wide 301 502 landscape 303 502 of 305 502 snows--a 307 502 colourless, 309 502 all-colour 311 502 of 313 502 atheism 315 502 from 317 502 which 319 502 we 321 502

thus 421 504 pondered 425 504 over 431 504 his 433 504 charts. 437 504 Almost 439 504 every 443 504 night 445 504 they 449 504 were 451 504 brought 457 504 out; 461 504 almost 463 504 every 467 504 night 473 504 some 475 504 pencil 479 504 marks 481 504 were 485 504 effaced, 487 504 and 491 504 others 493 504 were 499 504 substituted. 503 504 For 1 505 with 2 505 the 3 505 charts 4 505 of 6 505 all 7 505 four 8 505 oceans 9 505 before 11 505 him, 12 505 Ahab 13 505 was 14 505 threading 16 505 a 17 505 maze 18 505 of 19 505 currents 21 505 and 22 505 eddies, 23 505 with 24 505 a 26 505 view

one 47 505 not 48 505 fully 49 505 acquainted 51 505 with 52 505 the 53 505 ways 54 505 of 56 505 the 57 505 leviathans, 58 505 it 59 505 might 61 505 seem 62 505 an 63 505 absurdly 64 505 hopeless 66 505 task 67 505 thus 68 505 to 69 505 seek 71 505 out 72 505 one 73 505 solitary 74 505 creature 76 505 in 77 505 the 78 505 unhooped 79 505 oceans 81 505 of 82 505 this 83 505 planet. 84 505 But 86 505 not 87 505 so 88 505 did 89 505 it 91 505 seem 92 505 to 93 505 Ahab, 94 505 who 96 505 knew 97 505 the 98 505 sets 99 505 of 102 505 all 103 505 tides 104 505 and 106 505 currents; 107 505 and 108 505 thereby 109 505 calculating 111 505 the 112 505 driftings 113 505 of 114 505 the 116 505 sperm 117 505 whale's 118 505 food; 119 505 and, 121 505 also, 122 505 calling 123 505 to 124 505 mind 126 505 the 127 505 regular, 128 505 ascertained 129 505 seasons 131 505 for 132 505 hunting 133 505 him 134 505 in 136 505 particular 137 505 latitudes; 138 505 could 139 505 arrive 141 505 at 142

concerning 178 505 the 179 505 periodicalness 181 505 of 182 505 the 183 505 sperm 184 505 whale's 186 505 resorting 187 505 to 188 505 given 189 505 waters, 191 505 that 192 505 many 193 505 hunters 194 505 believe 196 505 that, 197 505 could 198 505 he 199 505 be 201 505 closely 203 505 observed 204 505 and 206 505 studied 207 505 throughout 208 505 the 209 505 world; 211 505 were 212 505 the 213 505 logs 214 505 for 216 505 one 217 505 voyage 218 505 of 219 505 the 221 505 entire 222 505 whale 223 505 fleet 224 505 carefully 226 505 collated, 227 505 then 228 505 the 229 505 migrations 231 505 of 232 505 the 233 505 sperm 234 505 whale 236 505 would 237 505 be 238 505 found 239 505 to 241 505 correspond 242 505 in 243 505 invariability 244 505 to 246 505 those 247 505 of 248 505 the 249 505 herring-shoals 251 505 or 252 505 the 253 505 flights 254 505 of 256 505 swallows. 257 505 On 258 505 this 259 505 hint, 261 505 attempts 262 505 have 263 505 been 264 505 made 266 505 to 267 505 construct 268 505 elaborate 269 505 migratory 271 505 charts 272 505 of 273 505 the 274 505 sperm 276 505 whale.* 277 505 *Since 278 505 the 279 505 above 281 505 was 282 505 written, 283 505 the 284 505 statement 286 505 is 287 505 happily 288 505 borne 289 505 out 291 505 by 292 505 an 293 505 official 294 505 circular, 296 505 issued 297 505 by 298 505 Lieutenant 299 505 Maury, 301 505 of 302 505 the 304 505 National 306 505 Observatory, 307 505 Washington, 308 505 April 309 505 16th, 311 505 1851. 312 505 By 313 505 that 314 505 circular, 316 505 it 317 505 appears 318 505 that 319 505 precisely 321 505 such 322 505 a 323 505 chart 324 505 is 326 505 in 327 505 course 328 505 of 329 505 completion; 331 505 and 332 505 portions 333 505 of 334 505 it 336 505 are 337 505 presented 338 505 in 339 505 the 341 505 circular. 342 505 "This 343 505 chart 344 505 divides 346 505 the 347 505 ocean 348 505 into 349 505 districts 351 505 of 352 505 five 353 505 degrees 354 505 of 356 505 latitude 357 505 by 358 505 five 359 505 degrees 361 505 of 362 505 longitude; 363 505 perpendicularly 364 505 through 366 505 each 367 505 of 368 505 which 369 505 districts 371 505 are 372 505 twelve 373 505 columns 374 505 for 376 505 the 377 505 twelve 378 505 months; 379 505 and 381 505 horizontally 382 505 through 383 505 each 384 505 of 386 505 which 387 505 districts 388 505 are 389 505 three 391 505 lines; 392 505 one 393 505 to 394 505 show 396 505 the 397 505 number 398 505 of 399 505 days 401 505 that 402 505 have 403 505 been 406 505 spent 407 505 in 408 505 each 409 505 month 411 505 in 412 505 every 413 505 district, 414 505 and 416 505 the 417 505 two 418 505 others 419 505 to 421 505 show 422 505 the 423 505 number 424 505 of 426 505 days 427 505 in 428 505 which 429 505 whales, 431 505 sperm 432 505 or 433 505 right, 434 505 have 436 505 been 437 505 seen." 438 505 Besides, 439 505 when 441 505 making 442 505 a 443 505 passage 444 505 from 446 505 one 447 505 feeding-ground 448 505 to 449 505 another, 451 505 the 452 505 sperm 453 505 whales, 454 505 guided 456 505 by 457 505 some 458 505 infallible 459 505 instinct--say, 461 505 rather, 462 505 secret 463 505 intelligence 464 505 from 466 505 the 467 505 Deity--mostly 468 505 swim 469 505 in 471 505 VEINS, 472 505 as 473 505 they 474 505 are 476 505 called; 477 505 continuing 478 505 their 479 505 way 481 505 along 482 505 a 483 505 given 484 505 ocean-line 486 505 with 487 505 such 488 505 undeviating 489 505 exactitude, 491 505 that 492 505 no 493 505 ship 494 505 ever 496 505 sailed 497 505 her 498 505 course, 499 505 by 501 505 any 502 505 chart, 503 505 with 504 505 one 1 506 tithe 3 506 of 5 506 such 7 506 marvellous 9 506 precision. 13 506 Though, 15 506 in 17 506 these 19 506 cases, 21 506 the 25 506 direction 27 506 taken 29 506 by 31 506 any 35 506 one 37 506 whale 39 506 be 41 506 straight 43 506 as 45 506 a 47 506 surveyor's 49 506 parallel, 51 506 and 53 506 though 57 506 the 59 506 line 61 506 of 63 506 advance 65 506 be 67 506 strictly 71 506 confined 73 506 to 75 506 its 79 506 own 81 506 unavoidable, 83 506 straight 85 506 wake, 87 506 yet 89 506 the 91 506 arbitrary 93 506 VEIN 95 506 in 97 506 which 101 506 at 103 506 these 105 506 times 107 506 he 109 506 is 111 506 said 113 506 to 117 506 swim, 119 506 generally 123 506 embraces 125 506 some 127 506 few 129 506 miles 131 506 in 133 506 width 135 506 (more 137 506 or 139 506 less, 141 506 as 145 506 the 147 506 vein 149 506 is 151 506 presumed 153 506 to 155 506 expand 157 506 or 159 506 contract); 163 506 but 167 506 never 169 506 exceeds 171 506 the 173 506 visual 175 506 sweep 177 506 from 179 506 the 181 506 whale-ship's 183 506 mast-heads, 185 506 when 189 506 circumspectly 191 506 gliding 193 506 along 195 506 this 197 506 magic 199 506 zone. 201 506 The 203 506 sum 205 506 is, 211 506 that 213 506 at 215 506 particular 217 506 seasons 219 506 within 221 506 that 223 506 breadth 225 506 and 227 506 along 229 506 that 233 506 path, 235 506 migrating 237 506 whales 239 506 may 241 506 with 243 506 great 245 506 confidence 247 506 be 249 506 looked 251 506 for. 255 506 And 257 506 hence 259 506 not 261 506 only 263 506 at 265 506 substantiated 267 506 times, 269 506 upon 271 506 well 273 506 known 277 506 separate 279 506 feeding-grounds, 281 506 could 283 506 Ahab 285 506 hope 287 506 to 289 506 encounter 291 506 his 293 506 prey; 295 506 but 301 506 in 303 506 crossing 305 506 the 307 506 widest 309 506 expanses 311 506 of 313 506 water 315 506 between 317 506 those 321 506 grounds 323 506 he 325 506 could, 327 506 by 329 506 his 331 506 art, 333 506 so 335 506 place 337 506 and 339 506 time 343 506 himself 347 506 on 349 506 his 351 506 way, 353 506 as 355 506 even 357 506 then 359 506 not 361 506 to 365 506 be 367 506 wholly 369 506 without 371 506 prospect 373 506 of 375 506 a 377 506 meeting. 379 506 There 381 506 was 383 506 a 387 506 circumstance 389 506 which 393 506 at 395 506 first 397 506 sight 399 506 seemed 401 506 to 403 506 entangle 405 506 his 409 506 delirious 411 506 but 413 506 still 415 506 methodical 417 506 scheme. 419 506 But 421 506 not 423 506 so 425 506 in 427 506 the 431 506 reality, 433 506 perhaps. 435 506 Though 439 506 the 441 506 gregarious 443 506 sperm 445 506 whales 447 506 have 449 506 their 453 506 regular 455 506 seasons 457 506 for 459 506 particular 461 506 grounds, 463 506 yet 465 506 in 467 506 general 469 506 you 471 506 cannot 475 506 conclude 477 506 that 479 506 the 481 506 herds 485 506 which 487 506 haunted 489 506 such 491 506 and 493 506 such 497 506 a 499 506 latitude 501 506 or 503 506 longitude 505 506 this 1 507 year, 2 507 say, 4 507 will 5 507 turn 7 507 out 8 507 to 10 507 be 11 507 identically 14 507 the 16 507 same 17 507 with 19 507 those 20 507 that 22 507 were 23 507 found 25 507 there 28 507 the 29 507 preceding 31 507 season; 32 507 though 34 507 there 35 507 are 37 507 peculiar 38 507 and 40 507 unquestionable 41 507 instances 43 507 where 44 507 the 46 507 contrary 47 507 of 49 507 this 50 507 has 53 507 proved 55 507 true. 56 507 In 58 507 general, 59 507 the 61 507 same 62 507 remark, 64 507 only 67 507 within 68 507 a 70 507 less 71 507 wide 73 507 limit, 74 507 applies 76 507 to 77 507 the 79 507 solitaries 80 507 and 82 507 hermits 83 507 among 85 507 the 86 507 matured, 88 507 aged 89 507 sperm 92 507 whales. 94 507 So 95 507 that 97 507 though 98 507 Moby 100 507 Dick 101 507 had 103 507 in 106 507 a 107 507 former 109 507 year 110 507 been 112 507 seen, 113 507 for 115 507 example, 116 507 on 118 507 what 119 507 is 121 507 called 122 507 the 124 507 Seychelle 125 507 ground 127 507 in 128 507 the 131 507 Indian 133 507 ocean, 134 507 or 136 507 Volcano 137 507 Bay 139 507 on 140 507 the 142 507 Japanese 145 507 Coast; 146 507 yet 148 507 it 149 507 did 151 507 not 152 507 follow, 154 507 that 155 507 were 157 507 the 158 507 Pequod 160 507 to 161 507 visit 163 507 either 164 507 of 166 507 those 167 507 spots 170 507 at 172 507 any 173 507 subsequent 175 507 corresponding 176 507 season, 178 507 she 179 507 would 181 507 infallibly 184 507 encounter 185 507 him 187 507 there. 188 507 So, 190 507 too, 191 507 with 193 507 some 194 507 other 196 507 feeding 197 507 grounds, 199 507 where 200 507 he 202 507 had 203 507 at 205 507 times 206 507 revealed 209 507 himself. 211 507 But 212 507 all 214 507 these 215 507 seemed 217 507 only 218 507 his 220 507 casual 223 507 stopping-places 224 507 and 226 507 ocean-inns, 227 507 so 229 507 to 230 507 speak, 232 507 not 233 507 his 235 507 places 236 507 of 238 507 prolonged 239 507 abode. 241 507 And 242 507 where 244 507 Ahab's 245 507 chances 248 507 of 250 507 accomplishing 251 507 his 253 507 object 254 507 have 256 507 hitherto 257 507 been 259 507 spoken 262 507 of, 263 507 allusion 265 507 has 266 507 only 268 507 been 269 507 made 271 507 to 272 507 whatever 274 507 way-side, 275 507 antecedent, 277 507 extra 278 507 prospects 280 507 were 281 507 his, 283 507 ere 284 507 a 287 507 particular 289 507 set 290 507 time 292 507 or 293 507 place 295 507 were 296 507 attained, 298 507 when 301 507 all 302 507 possibilities 304 507 would 305 507 become 307 507 probabilities, 308 507 and, 310 507 as 311 507 Ahab 313 507 fondly 314 507 thought, 316 507 every 317 507 possibility 319 507 the 320 507 next 322 507 thing 323 507 to 326 507 a 328 507 certainty. 329 507 That 331 507 particular 332 507 set 334 507 time 335 507 and 337 507 place 340 507 were 341 507 conjoined 343 507 in 344 507 the 346 507 one 347 507 technical 349 507 phrase--the 350 507 Season-on-the-Line. 352 507 For 353 507 there 355 507 and 356 507 then, 358 507 for 359 507 several 361 507 consecutive 362 507 years, 365 507 Moby 367 507 Dick 368 507 had 370 507 been 371 507 periodically 373 507 descried, 374 507 lingering 376 507 in 379 507 those 380 507 waters 382 507 for 383 507 awhile, 385 507 as 386 507 the 388 507 sun, 389 507 in 391 507 its 392 507 annual 394 507 round, 395 507 loiters 397 507 for 398 507 a 400 507 predicted 401 507 interval 404 507 in 406 507 any 407 507 one 409 507 sign 410 507 of 412 507 the 413 507 Zodiac. 415 507 There 418 507 it 419 507 was, 421 507 too, 422 507 that 424 507 most 425 507 of 427 507 the 428 507 deadly 430 507 encounters 431 507 with 433 507 the 434 507 white 436 507 whale 437 507 had 439 507 taken 440 507 place; 443 507 there 445 507 the 446 507 waves 448 507 were 449 507 storied 451 507 with 452 507 his 454 507 deeds; 457 507 there 458 507 also 460 507 was 461 507 that 463 507 tragic 464 507 spot 466 507 where 467 507 the 469 507 monomaniac 470 507 old 472 507 man 473 507 had 475 507 found 476 507 the 478 507 awful 479 507 motive 482 507 to 484 507 his 485 507 vengeance. 487 507 But 488 507 in 490 507 the 491 507 cautious 493 507 comprehensiveness 496 507 and 497 507 unloitering 499 507 vigilance 500 507 with 502 507 which 503 507 Ahab 505 507 threw 506 507 his 1 508 brooding 3 508 soul 5 508 into 7 508 this 9 508 unfaltering 11 508 hunt, 13 508 he 15 508 would 17 508 not 19 508 permit 21 508 himself 23 508 to 25 508 rest 27 508 all 29 508 his 31 508 hopes 33 508 upon 35 508 the 37 508 one 39 508 crowning 41 508 fact 43 508 above 45 508 mentioned, 47 508 however 49 508 flattering 51 508 it 53 508 might 55 508 be 57 508 to 59 508 those 61 508 hopes; 63 508 nor 65 508 in 67 508 the 69 508 sleeplessness 71 508 of 73 508 his 75 508 vow 77 508 could 79 508 he 81 508 so 83 508 tranquillize 85 508 his 87 508 unquiet 89 508 heart 91 508 as 93 508 to 95 508 postpone 97 508 all 99 508 intervening 101 508 quest. 103 508 Now, 105 508 the 107 508 Pequod 109 508 had 111 508 sailed 113 508 from 115 508 Nantucket 117 508 at 119 508 the 121 508 very 123 508 beginning 125 508 of 129 508 the 131 508 Season-on-the-Line. 133 508 No 135 508 possible 137 508 endeavor 139 508 then 141 508 could 143 508 enable 145 508 her 147 508 commander 149 508 to 151 508 make 153 508 the 155 508 great 157 508 passage 159 508 southwards, 161 508 double 163 508 Cape 165 508 Horn, 167 508 and 169 508 then 171 508 running 173 508 down 175 508 sixty 177 508 degrees 179 508 of 181 508 latitude 183 508 arrive 185 508 in 187 508 the 189 508 equatorial 191 508 Pacific 193 508 in 195 508 time 197 508 to 199 508 cruise 201 508 there. 203 508 Therefore, 205 508 he 207 508 must 209 508 wait 211 508 for 213 508 the 215 508 next 217 508 ensuing 219 508 season. 221 508 Yet 223 508 the 225 508 premature 227 508 hour 229 508 of 231 508 the 233 508 Pequod's 235 508 sailing 237 508 had, 239 508 perhaps, 241 508 been 243 508 correctly 245 508 selected 247 508 by 249 508 Ahab, 251 508 with 253 508 a 255 508 view 257 508 to 259 508 this 261 508 very 263 508 complexion 265 508 of 267 508 things. 269 508 Because, 271 508 an 273 508 interval 275 508 of 277 508 three 279 508 hundred 281 508 and 283 508 sixty-five 285 508 days 287 508 and 289 508 nights 291 508 was 293 508 before 295 508 him; 297 508 an 299 508 interval 301 508 which, 303 508 instead 305 508 of 307 508 impatiently 309 508 enduring 311 508 ashore, 313 508 he 315 508 would 317 508 spend 319 508 in 321 508 a 323 508 miscellaneous 325 508 hunt; 327 508 if 329 508 by 331 508 chance 333 508 the 335 508 White 337 508 Whale, 339 508 spending 341 508 his 343 508 vacation 345 508 in 347 508 seas 349 508 far 351 508 remote 353 508 from 355 508 his 357 508 periodical 359 508 feeding-grounds, 361 508 should 363 508 turn 365 508 up 367 508 his 369 508 wrinkled 371 508 brow 373 508 off 375 508 the 377 508 Persian 379 508 Gulf, 383 508 or 385 508 in 387 508 the 389 508 Bengal 391 508 Bay, 393 508 or 395 508 China 397 508 Seas, 399 508 or 401 508 in 403 508 any 405 508 other 407 508 waters 409 508 haunted 411 508 by 413 508 his 415 508 race. 417 508 So 419 508 that 421 508 Monsoons, 423 508 Pampas, 425 508 Nor'-Westers, 427 508 Harmattans, 429 508 Trades; 431 508 any 433 508 wind 435 508 but 437 508 the 439 508 Levanter 441 508 and 443 508 Simoon, 445 508 might 447 508 blow 449 508 Moby 451 508 Dick 453 508 into 455 508 the 457 508 devious 459 508 zig-zag 461 508 world-circle 463 508 of 465 508 the 467 508 Pequod's 469 508 circumnavigating 471 508 wake. 473 508 But 475 508 granting 477 508 all 479 508 this; 481 508 yet, 483 508 regarded 485 508 discreetly 487 508 and 489 508 coolly, 491 508 seems 493 508 it 495 508 not 497 508 but 499 508 a 501 508 mad 503 508 idea, 505 508 this; 507 508 that 1 509 in 2 509 the 3 509 broad 4 509 boundless 5 509 ocean, 6 509 one 7 509 solitary 8 509 whale, 9 509 even 10 509 if 11 509 encountered, 12 509 should 13 509 be 14 509 thought 15 509 capable 16 509 of 17 509 individual 18 509 recognition 19 509 from 20 509 his 21 509 hunter, 22 509 even 23 509 as 24 509 a 25 509 white-bearded 26 509 Mufti 27 509 in 28 509 the 29 509 thronged 30 509 thoroughfares 31 509 of 32 509 Constantinople? 33 509 Yes. 34 509 For 35 509 the 36 509 peculiar 37 509 snow-white 38 509 brow 39 509 of 40 509 Moby 41 509 Dick, 42 509 and 43 509 his 44 509 snow-white 45 509 hump, 46 509 could 47 509 not 48 509 but 49 509 be 50 509 unmistakable. 51 509 And 52 509 have 53 509 I 54 509 not 55 509 tallied 56 509 the 57 509 whale, 58 509 Ahab 59 509 would 60 509 mutter 61 509 to 62 509 himself, 63 509 as 64 509 after 65 509 poring 66 509 over 67 509 his 68 509 charts 69 509 till 70 509 long 71 509 after 72 509 midnight 73 509 he 74 509 would 75 509 throw 76 509 himself 77 509 back 78 509 in 79 509 reveries--tallied 80 509 him, 81 509 and 82 509 shall 83 509 he 84 509 escape? 85 509 His 86 509 broad 87 509 fins 88 509 are 89 509 bored, 90 509 and 91 509 scalloped 92 509 out 93 509 like 94 509 a 95 509 lost 96 509 sheep's 97 509 ear! 98 509 And 99 509 here, 100 509 his 101 509 mad 102 509 mind 103 509 would 104 509 run 105 509 on 106 509 in 107 509 a 108 509 breathless 109 509 race; 110 509 till 111 509 a 112 509 weariness 113 509 and 114 509 faintness 115 509 of 116 509 pondering 117 509 came 118 509 over 119 509 him; 120 509 and 121 509 in 122 509 the 123 509 open 124 509 air 125 509 of 126 509 the 127 509 deck 128 509 he 129 509 would 130 509 seek 131 509 to 132 509 recover 133 509 his 134 509 strength. 135 509 Ah, 136 509 God! 137 509 what 138 509 trances 139 509 of 140 509 torments 141 509 does 142 509 that 143 509 man 144 509 endure 145 509 who 146 509 is 147 509 consumed 148 509 with 149 509 one 150 509 unachieved 151 509 revengeful 152 509 desire. 153 509 He 154 509 sleeps 155 509 with 156 509 clenched 157 509 hands; 158 509 and 159 509 wakes 160 509 with 161 509 his 162 509 own 163 509 bloody 164 509 nails 165 509 in 166 509 his 167 509 palms. 168 509 Often, 169 509 when 170 509 forced 171 509 from 172 509 his 173 509 hammock 174 509 by 175 509 exhausting 176 509 and 177 509 intolerably 178 509 vivid 179 509 dreams 180 509 of 181 509 the 182 509 night, 183 509 which, 184 509 resuming 185 509 his 186 509 own 187 509 intense 188 509 thoughts 189 509 through 190 509 the 191 509 day, 192 509 carried 193 509 them 194 509 on 195 509 amid 196 509 a 197 509 clashing 198 509 of 199 509 phrensies, 200 509 and 201 509 whirled 202 509 them 203 509 round 204 509 and 205 509 round 206 509 and 207 509 round 208 509 in 209 509 his 210 509 blazing 211 509 brain, 212 509 till 213 509 the 214 509 very 215 509 throbbing 216 509 of 217 509 his 218 509 life-spot 219 509 became 220 509 insufferable 221 509 anguish; 222 509 and 223 509 when, 224 509 as 225 509 was 226 509 sometimes 227 509 the 228 509 case, 229 509 these 230 509 spiritual 231 509 throes 232 509 in 233 509 him 234 509 heaved 235 509 his 236 509 being 237 509 up 238 509 from 239 509 its 240 509 base, 241 509 and 242 509 a 243 509 chasm 244 509 seemed 245 509 opening 246 509 in 247 509 him, 248 509 from 249 509 which 250 509 forked 251 509 flames 252 509 and 253 509 lightnings 254 509 shot 255 509 up, 256 509 and 257 509 accursed 258 509 fiends 259 509 beckoned 260 509 him 261 509 to 262 509 leap 263 509 down 264 509 among 265 509 them; 266 509 when 267 509 this 268 509 hell 269 509 in 270 509 himself 271 509 yawned 272 509 beneath 273 509 him, 274 509 a 275 509 wild 276 509 cry 277 509 would 278 509 be 279 509 heard 280 509 through 281 509 the 282 509 ship; 283 509 and 284 509 with 285 509 glaring 286 509 eyes 287 509 Ahab 288 509 would 289 509 burst 290 509 from 291 509 his 292 509 state 293 509 room, 294 509 as 295 509 though 296 509 escaping 297 509 from 298 509 a 299 509 bed 300 509 that 301 509 was 302 509 on 303 509 fire. 304 509 Yet 305 509 these, 306 509 perhaps, 307 509 instead 308 509 of 309 509 being 310 509 the 311 509 unsuppressable 312 509 symptoms 313 509 of 314 509 some 315 509 latent 316 509 weakness, 317 509 or 318 509 fright 319 509 at 320 509 his 321 509 own 322 509 resolve, 323 509 were 324 509 but 325 509 the 326 509 plainest 327 509 tokens 328 509 of 329 509 its 330 509 intensity. 331 509 For, 332 509 at 333 509 such 334 509 times, 335 509 crazy 336 509 Ahab, 337 509 the 338 509 scheming, 339 509 unappeasedly 340 509 steadfast 341 509 hunter 342 509 of 343 509 the 344 509 white 345 509 whale; 346 509 this 347 509 Ahab 348 509 that 349 509 had 350 509 gone 351 509 to 352 509 his 353 509 hammock, 354 509 was 355 509 not 356 509 the 357 509 agent 358 509 that 359 509 so 360 509 caused 361 509 him 362 509 to 363 509 burst 364 509 from 365 509 it 366 509 in 367 509 horror 368 509 again. 369 509 The 370 509 latter 371 509 was 372 509 the 373 509 eternal, 374 509 living 375 509 principle 376 509 or 377 509 soul 378 509 in 379 509 him; 380 509 and 381 509 in 382 509 sleep, 383 509 being 384 509 for 385 509 the 386 509 time 387 509 dissociated 388 509 from 389 509 the 390 509 characterizing 391 509 mind, 392 509 which 393 509 at 394 509 other 395 509 times 396 509 employed 397 509 it 398 509 for 399 509 its 400 509 outer 401 509 vehicle 402 509 or 403 509 agent, 404 509 it 405 509 spontaneously 406 509 sought 407 509 escape 408 509 from 409 509 the 410 509 scorching 411 509 contiguity 412 509 of 413 509 the 414 509 frantic 415 509 thing, 416 509 of 417 509 which, 418 509 for 419 509 the 420 509 time, 421 509 it 422 509 was 423 509 no 424 509 longer 425 509 an 426 509 integral. 427 509 But 428 509 as 429 509 the 430 509 mind 431 509 does 432 509 not 433 509 exist 434 509 unless 435 509 leagued 436 509 with 437 509 the 438 509 soul, 439 509 therefore 440 509 it 441 509 must 442 509 have 443 509 been 444 509 that, 445 509 in 446 509 Ahab's 447 509 case, 448 509 yielding 449 509 up 450 509 all 451 509 his 452 509 thoughts 453 509 and 454 509 fancies 455 509 to 456 509 his 457 509 one 458 509 supreme 459 509 purpose; 460 509 that 461 509 purpose, 462 509 by 463 509 its 464 509 own 465 509 sheer 466 509 inveteracy 467 509 of 468 509 will, 469 509 forced 470 509 itself 471 509 against 472 509 gods 473 509 and 474 509 devils 475 509 into 476 509 a 477 509 kind 478 509 of 479 509 self-assumed, 480 509 independent 481 509 being 482 509 of 483 509 its 484 509 own. 485 509 Nay, 486 509 could 487 509 grimly 488 509 live 489 509 and 490 509 burn, 491 509 while 492 509 the 493 509 common 494 509 vitality 495 509 to 496 509 which 497 509 it 498 509 was 499 509 conjoined, 500 509 fled 501 509 horror-stricken 502 509 from 503 509 the 504 509 unbidden 505 509 and 506 509 unfathered 507 509 birth. 508 509 Therefore, 1 510 the 7 510 tormented 11 510 spirit 13 510 that 19 510 glared 23 510 out 29 510 of 31 510 bodily 37 510 eyes, 41 510 when 43 510 what 47 510 seemed 49 510 Ahab 53 510 rushed 59 510 from 61 510 his 67 510 room, 71 510 was 73 510 for 77 510 the 79 510 time 83 510 but 89 510 a 91 510 vacated 97 510 thing, 101 510 a 103 510 formless 107 510 somnambulistic 109 510 being, 113 510 a 121 510 ray 127 510 of 131 510 living 133 510 light, 137 510 to 139 510 be 143 510 sure, 149 510 but 151 510 without 157 510 an 161 510 object 163 510 to 167 510 colour, 169 510 and 173 510 therefore 179 510 a 181 510 blankness 191 510 in 193 510 itself. 197 510 God 199 510 help 203 510 thee, 209 510 old 211 510 man, 217 510 thy 223 510 thoughts 227 510 have 229 510 created 233 510 a 239 510 creature 241 510 in 247 510 thee; 251 510 and 253 510 he 257 510 whose 259 510 intense 263 510 thinking 269 510 thus 271 510 makes 277 510 him 281 510 a 283 510 Prometheus; 287 510 a 293 510 vulture 299 510 feeds 301 510 upon 307 510 that 311 510 heart 313 510 for 317 510 ever; 319 510 that 329 510 vulture 331 510 the 337 510 very 341 510 creature 343 510 he 347 510 creates. 349 510 CHAPTER 353 510 45 359 510 The 361 510 Affidavit. 367 510 So 371 510 far 373 510 as 377 510 what 379 510 there 383 510 may 389 510 be 397 510 of 401 510 a 403 510 narrative 407 510 in 409 510 this 413 510 book; 419 510 and, 421 510 indeed, 427 510 as 431 510 indirectly 433 510 touching 437 510 one 439 510 or 443 510 two 449 510 very 451 510 interesting 457 510 and 461 510 curious 463 510 particulars 467 510 in 469 510 the 473 510 habits 479 510 of 481 510 sperm 487 510 whales, 491 510 the 497 510 foregoing 499 510 chapter, 503 510 in 509 510 its 1 511 earlier 2 511 part, 3 511 is 4 511 as 5 511 important 6 511 a 8 511 one 9 511 as 10 511 will 11 511 be 12 511 found 13 511 in 15 511 this 16 511 volume; 17 511 but 18 511 the 19 511 leading 20 511 matter 22 511 of 23 511 it 24 511 requires 25 511 to 26 511 be 27 511 still 29 511 further 30 511 and 31 511 more 32 511 familiarly 33 511 enlarged 34 511 upon, 36 511 in 37 511 order 38 511 to 39 511 be 40 511 adequately 41 511 understood, 43 511 and 44 511 moreover 45 511 to 46 511 take 47 511 away 48 511 any 50 511 incredulity 51 511 which 52 511 a 53 511 profound 54 511 ignorance 55 511 of 57 511 the 58 511 entire 59 511 subject 60 511 may 61 511 induce 62 511 in 64 511 some 65 511 minds, 66 511 as 67 511 to 68 511 the 69 511 natural 71 511 verity 72 511 of 74 511 the 75 511 main 76 511 points 78 511 of 79 511 this 80 511 affair. 81 511 I 82 511 care 83 511 not 85 511 to 86 511 perform 87 511 this 88 511 part 89 511 of 90 511 my 92 511 task 93 511 methodically; 94 511 but 95 511 shall 96 511 be 97 511 content 99 511 to 100 511 produce 101 511 the 102 511 desired 103 511 impression 104 511 by 106 511 separate 107 511 citations 108 511 of 109 511 items, 110 511 practically 111 511 or 113 511 reliably 114 511 known 115 511 to 116 511 me 117 511 as 118 511 a 120 511 whaleman; 121 511 and 122 511 from 123 511 these 124 511 citations, 125 511 I 127 511 take 128 511 it--the 129 511 conclusion 130 511 aimed 131 511 at 132 511 will 134 511 naturally 135 511 follow 136 511 of 137 511 itself. 138 511 First: 139 511 I 141 511 have 142 511 personally 143 511 known 144 511 three 145 511 instances 148 511 where 149 511 a 150 511 whale, 151 511 after 152 511 receiving 153 511 a 155 511 harpoon, 156 511 has 157 511 effected 158 511 a 159 511 complete 160 511 escape; 162 511 and, 163 511 after 164 511 an 165 511 interval 166 511 (in 167 511 one 169 511 instance 170 511 of 171 511 three 172 511 years), 173 511 has 174 511 been 176 511 again 177 511 struck 178 511 by 179 511 the 180 511 same 181 511 hand, 183 511 and 184 511 slain; 185 511 when 186 511 the 187 511 two 188 511 irons, 190 511 both 191 511 marked 192 511 by 193 511 the 194 511 same 195 511 private 197 511 cypher, 198 511 have 199 511 been 200 511 taken 201 511 from 202 511 the 204 511 body. 205 511 In 206 511 the 207 511 instance 208 511 where 209 511 three 211 511 years 212 511 intervened 213 511 between 214 511 the 215 511 flinging 216 511 of 218 511 the 220 511 two 221 511 harpoons; 222 511 and 223 511 I 225 511 think 226 511 it 227 511 may 228 511 have 229 511 been 230 511 something 232 511 more 233 511 than 234 511 that; 235 511 the 236 511 man 237 511 who 239 511 darted 240 511 them 241 511 happening, 242 511 in 243 511 the 244 511 interval, 246 511 to 247 511 go 248 511 in 249 511 a 250 511 trading 251 511 ship 253 511 on 254 511 a 255 511 voyage 256 511 to 257 511 Africa, 258 511 went 260 511 ashore 261 511 there, 262 511 joined 263 511 a 264 511 discovery 265 511 party, 267 511 and 268 511 penetrated 269 511 far 270 511 into 271 511 the 272 511 interior, 274 511 where 275 511 he 276 511 travelled 277 511 for 278 511 a 279 511 period 281 511 of 282 511 nearly 283 511 two 284 511 years, 285 511 often 286 511 endangered 288 511 by 289 511 serpents, 290 511 savages, 291 511 tigers, 293 511 poisonous 295 511 miasmas, 296 511 with 297 511 all 298 511 the 299 511 other 300 511 common 302 511 perils 303 511 incident 304 511 to 305 511 wandering 306 511 in 307 511 the 309 511 heart 310 511 of 311 511 unknown 312 511 regions. 313 511 Meanwhile, 314 511 the 316 511 whale 317 511 he 318 511 had 319 511 struck 320 511 must 321 511 also 323 511 have 324 511 been 325 511 on 326 511 its 327 511 travels; 328 511 no 330 511 doubt 331 511 it 332 511 had 333 511 thrice 334 511 circumnavigated 335 511 the 337 511 globe, 338 511 brushing 339 511 with 340 511 its 341 511 flanks 342 511 all 344 511 the 345 511 coasts 346 511 of 347 511 Africa; 348 511 but 349 511 to 351 511 no 352 511 purpose. 353 511 This 354 511 man 355 511 and 356 511 this 358 511 whale 359 511 again 360 511 came 361 511 together, 362 511 and 363 511 the 366 511 one 367 511 vanquished 368 511 the 369 511 other. 370 511 I 372 511 say 373 511 I, 374 511 myself, 375 511 have 376 511 known 377 511 three 379 511 instances 380 511 similar 381 511 to 382 511 this; 383 511 that 384 511 is 386 511 in 387 511 two 388 511 of 389 511 them 390 511 I 391 511 saw 393 511 the 394 511 whales 395 511 struck; 396 511 and, 397 511 upon 398 511 the 400 511 second 401 511 attack, 402 511 saw 403 511 the 404 511 two 405 511 irons 407 511 with 408 511 the 409 511 respective 410 511 marks 411 511 cut 412 511 in 414 511 them, 415 511 afterwards 416 511 taken 417 511 from 418 511 the 419 511 dead 421 511 fish. 422 511 In 423 511 the 424 511 three-year 425 511 instance, 426 511 it 428 511 so 429 511 fell 430 511 out 431 511 that 432 511 I 433 511 was 435 511 in 436 511 the 437 511 boat 439 511 both 440 511 times, 442 511 first 443 511 and 444 511 last, 445 511 and 446 511 the 447 511 last 449 511 time 450 511 distinctly 451 511 recognised 452 511 a 453 511 peculiar 454 511 sort 456 511 of 457 511 huge 458 511 mole 459 511 under 460 511 the 461 511 whale's 463 511 eye, 464 511 which 465 511 I 466 511 had 467 511 observed 468 511 there 470 511 three 471 511 years 472 511 previous. 473 511 I 474 511 say 475 511 three 477 511 years, 478 511 but 479 511 I 480 511 am 481 511 pretty 482 511 sure 484 511 it 485 511 was 486 511 more 487 511 than 488 511 that. 489 511 Here 491 511 are 492 511 three 493 511 instances, 494 511 then, 495 511 which 496 511 I 498 511 personally 499 511 know 500 511 the 501 511 truth 502 511 of; 503 511 but 505 511 I 506 511 have 507 511 heard 508 511 of 509 511 many 510 511 other 1 512 instances 3 512 from 5 512 persons 7 512 whose 9 512 veracity 11 512 in 13 512 the 15 512 matter 17 512 there 19 512 is 21 512 no 23 512 good 25 512 ground 27 512 to 29 512 impeach. 31 512 Secondly: 33 512 It 35 512 is 37 512 well 39 512 known 41 512 in 43 512 the 45 512 Sperm 47 512 Whale 49 512 Fishery, 51 512 however 53 512 ignorant 55 512 the 57 512 world 59 512 ashore 61 512 may 63 512 be 65 512 of 67 512 it, 69 512 that 71 512 there 73 512 have 75 512 been 77 512 several 79 512 memorable 81 512 historical 83 512 instances 85 512 where 87 512 a 89 512 particular 91 512 whale 93 512 in 95 512 the 97 512 ocean 99 512 has 101 512 been 103 512 at 105 512 distant 107 512 times 109 512 and 111 512 places 113 512 popularly 115 512 cognisable. 117 512 Why 119 512 such 121 512 a 123 512 whale 125 512 became 127 512 thus 129 512 marked 131 512 was 133 512 not 135 512 altogether 137 512 and 139 512 originally 141 512 owing 143 512 to 145 512 his 147 512 bodily 149 512 peculiarities 151 512 as 153 512 distinguished 155 512 from 157 512 other 159 512 whales; 161 512 for 163 512 however 165 512 peculiar 167 512 in 169 512 that 171 512 respect 173 512 any 175 512 chance 177 512 whale 179 512 may 181 512 be, 183 512 they 185 512 soon 187 512 put 189 512 an 191 512 end 193 512 to 195 512 his 197 512 peculiarities 199 512 by 201 512 killing 203 512 him, 205 512 and 207 512 boiling 209 512 him 211 512 down 213 512 into 215 512 a 217 512 peculiarly 219 512 valuable 221 512 oil. 223 512 No: 225 512 the 227 512 reason 229 512 was 231 512 this: 233 512 that 235 512 from 237 512 the 239 512 fatal 241 512 experiences 243 512 of 245 512 the 247 512 fishery 249 512 there 251 512 hung 253 512 a 255 512 terrible 257 512 prestige 259 512 of 261 512 perilousness 263 512 about 265 512 such 267 512 a 269 512 whale 271 512 as 273 512 there 275 512 did 277 512 about 279 512 Rinaldo 281 512 Rinaldini, 283 512 insomuch 285 512 that 287 512 most 289 512 fishermen 291 512 were 293 512 content 295 512 to 297 512 recognise 299 512 him 301 512 by 303 512 merely 305 512 touching 307 512 their 309 512 tarpaulins 311 512 when 313 512 he 315 512 would 317 512 be 319 512 discovered 321 512 lounging 323 512 by 325 512 them 327 512 on 329 512 the 331 512 sea, 333 512 without 335 512 seeking 337 512 to 339 512 cultivate 341 512 a 343 512 more 345 512 intimate 347 512 acquaintance. 349 512 Like 351 512 some 353 512 poor 355 512 devils 357 512 ashore 359 512 that 361 512 happen 363 512 to 365 512 know 367 512 an 369 512 irascible 371 512 great 373 512 man, 375 512 they 377 512 make 379 512 distant 381 512 unobtrusive 383 512 salutations 385 512 to 387 512 him 389 512 in 391 512 the 393 512 street, 395 512 lest 397 512 if 399 512 they 401 512 pursued 403 512 the 405 512 acquaintance 407 512 further, 409 512 they 411 512 might 413 512 receive 415 512 a 417 512 summary 419 512 thump 421 512 for 423 512 their 425 512 presumption. 427 512 But 429 512 not 431 512 only 433 512 did 435 512 each 437 512 of 439 512 these 441 512 famous 443 512 whales 445 512 enjoy 447 512 great 449 512 individual 451 512 celebrity--Nay, 453 512 you 455 512 may 457 512 call 459 512 it 461 512 an 463 512 ocean-wide 465 512 renown; 467 512 not 469 512 only 471 512 was 473 512 he 475 512 famous 477 512 in 479 512 life 481 512 and 483 512 now 485 512 is 487 512 immortal 489 512 in 491 512 forecastle 493 512 stories 495 512 after 497 512 death, 499 512 but 501 512 he 503 512 was 505 512 admitted 507 512 into 509 512 all 511 512 the 1 513 rights, 2 513 privileges, 4 513 and 5 513 distinctions 7 513 of 8 513 a 10 513 name; 11 513 had 13 513 as 14 513 much 16 513 a 17 513 name 20 513 indeed 22 513 as 23 513 Cambyses 25 513 or 26 513 Caesar. 28 513 Was 29 513 it 31 513 not 32 513

513 in 319 513 view, 320 513 as 322 513 in 325 513 setting 326 513 out 328 513 through 329 513 the 331 513 Narragansett 332 513 Woods, 334 513 Captain 335 513 Butler 337 513 of 338 513 old 340 513 had 341 513 it 343 513 in 344 513 his 346 513 mind 347 513 to 349 513 capture 350 513 that 352 513 notorious 353 513 murderous 355 513 savage 356 513 Annawon, 358 513 the 359 513 headmost 362 513 warrior 364 513 of 365 513 the 367 513 Indian 368 513 King 370 513 Philip. 371 513 I 373 513 do 374 513 not 376 513 know 377 513 where 379 513 I 382 513 can 383 513 find 385 513 a 386 513 better 388 513 place 389 513 than 391 513 just 392 513 here, 394 513 to 395 513 make 397 513 mention 398 513 of 400 513 one 401 513 or 403 513 two 404 513 other 406 513 things, 407 513 which 409 513 to 410 513 me 412 513 seem 413 513 important, 415 513 as 416 513 in 419 513 printed 421 513 form 422 513 establishing 424 513 in 425 513 all 427 513 respects 428 513 the 430 513 reasonableness 431 513 of 433 513 the 434 513 whole 436 513 story 439 513 of 440 513 the 442 513 White 443 513 Whale, 445 513 more 446 513 especially 448 513 the 449 513 catastrophe. 451 513 For 452 513 this 454 513 is 455 513 one 457 513 of 458 513 those 460 513 disheartening 461 513 instances 463 513 where 464 513 truth 466 513 requires 467 513 full 469 513 as 470 513 much 472 513 bolstering 473 513 as 476 513 error. 478 513 So 479 513 ignorant 481 513 are 482 513 most 484 513 landsmen 485 513 of 487 513 some 488 513 of 490 513 the 491 513 plainest 493 513 and 496 513 most 497 513 palpable 499 513 wonders 500 513 of 502 513 the 503 513 world, 505 513 that 506 513 without 508 513 some 509 513 hints 511 513 touching 512 513 the 1 514 plain 3 514 facts, 5 514 historical 7 514 and 9 514 otherwise, 11 514 of 13 514 the 15 514 fishery, 17 514 they 19 514 might 21 514 scout 23 514 at 25 514 Moby 27 514 Dick 29 514 as 31 514 a 33 514 monstrous 35 514 fable, 37 514 or 39 514 still 41 514 worse 43 514 and 45 514 more 47 514 detestable, 49 514 a 51 514 hideous 53 514 and 55 514 intolerable 57 514 allegory. 59 514 First: 61 514 Though 63 514 most 65 514 men 67 514 have 69 514 some 71 514 vague 73 514 flitting 75 514 ideas 77 514 of 79 514 the 81 514 general 83 514 perils 85 514 of 87 514 the 89 514 grand 91 514 fishery, 93 514 yet 95 514 they 97 514 have 99 514 nothing 101 514 like 103 514 a 105 514 fixed, 107 514 vivid 109 514 conception 111 514 of 113 514 those 115 514 perils, 117 514 and 119 514 the 121 514 frequency 123 514 with 125 514 which 127 514 they 129 514 recur. 131 514 One 133 514 reason 135 514 perhaps 137 514 is, 139 514 that 141 514 not 143 514 one 145 514 in 147 514 fifty 149 514 of 151 514 the 153 514 actual 155 514 disasters 157 514 and 159 514 deaths 161 514 by 163 514 casualties 165 514 in 167 514 the 169 514 fishery, 171 514 ever 173 514 finds 175 514 a 177 514 public 179 514 record 181 514 at 183 514 home, 185 514 however 187 514 transient 189 514 and 191 514 immediately 193 514 forgotten 195 514 that 197 514 record. 199 514 Do 201 514 you 203 514 suppose 205 514 that 207 514 that 209 514 poor 211 514 fellow 213 514 there, 215 514 who 217 514 this 219 514 moment 221 514 perhaps 223 514 caught 225 514 by 227 514 the 229 514 whale-line 231 514 off 233 514 the 235 514 coast 237 514 of 239 514 New 241 514 Guinea, 243 514 is 245 514 being 247 514 carried 249 514 down 251 514 to 253 514 the 255 514 bottom 259 514 of 261 514 the 263 514 sea 265 514 by 267 514 the 269 514 sounding 271 514 leviathan--do 273 514 you 275 514 suppose 277 514 that 279 514 that 281 514 poor 283 514 fellow's 285 514 name 287 514 will 289 514 appear 291 514 in 293 514 the 295 514 newspaper 297 514 obituary 299 514 you 301 514 will 303 514 read 305 514 to-morrow 307 514 at 309 514 your 311 514 breakfast? 313 514 No: 315 514 because 317 514 the 319 514 mails 321 514 are 323 514 very 325 514 irregular 327 514 between 329 514 here 331 514 and 333 514 New 335 514 Guinea. 337 514 In 339 514 fact, 341 514 did 343 514 you 345 514 ever 347 514 hear 349 514 what 351 514 might 353 514 be 355 514 called 357 514 regular 359 514 news 361 514 direct 363 514 or 365 514 indirect 367 514 from 369 514 New 371 514 Guinea? 373 514 Yet 375 514 I 377 514 tell 379 514 you 381 514 that 383 514 upon 385 514 one 387 514 particular 389 514 voyage 391 514 which 393 514 I 395 514 made 397 514 to 399 514 the 401 514 Pacific, 403 514 among 405 514 many 407 514 others 409 514 we 411 514 spoke 413 514 thirty 415 514 different 417 514 ships, 419 514 every 421 514 one 423 514 of 425 514 which 427 514 had 429 514 had 431 514 a 433 514 death 435 514 by 437 514 a 439 514 whale, 441 514 some 443 514 of 445 514 them 447 514 more 449 514 than 451 514 one, 453 514 and 455 514 three 457 514 that 459 514 had 461 514 each 463 514 lost 465 514 a 467 514 boat's 469 514 crew. 471 514 For 473 514 God's 475 514 sake, 477 514 be 479 514 economical 481 514 with 483 514 your 485 514 lamps 487 514 and 489 514 candles! 491 514 not 493 514 a 495 514 gallon 497 514 you 499 514 burn, 501 514 but 503 514 at 505 514 least 507 514 one 509 514 drop 511 514 of 513 514 man's 1 515 blood 2 515 was 3 515 spilled 4 515 for 6 515 it. 7 515 Secondly: 8 515 People 9 515 ashore 11 515 have 12 515 indeed 13 515 some 14 515 indefinite 16 515 idea 17 515 that 18 515 a 19 515 whale 21 515 is 22 515 an 23 515 enormous 24 515 creature 26 515 of 27 515 enormous 28 515 power; 29 515 but 31 515 I 32 515 have 33 515 ever 34 515 found 36 515 that 37 515 when 38 515 narrating 39 515 to 41 515 them 42 515 some 43 515 specific 44 515 example 46 515 of 47 515 this 48 515 two-fold 49 515 enormousness, 51 515 they 52 515 have 53 515 significantly 54 515 complimented 56 515 me 57 515 upon 58 515 my 59 515 facetiousness; 61 515 when, 62 515 I 63 515 declare 64 515 upon 66 515 my 67 515 soul, 68 515 I 69 515 had 71 515 no 72 515 more 73 515 idea 74 515 of 76 515 being 77 515 facetious 78 515 than 79 515 Moses, 81 515 when 82 515 he 83 515 wrote 84 515 the 86 515 history 87 515 of 88 515 the 89 515 plagues 91 515 of 92 515 Egypt. 93 515 But 94 515 fortunately 96 515 the 97 515 special 98 515 point 99 515 I 101 515 here 102 515 seek 104 515 can 106 515 be 107 515 established 108 515 upon 109 515 testimony 111 515 entirely 112 515 independent 113 515 of 114 515 my 116 515 own. 117 515 That 118 515 point 119 515 is 121 515 this: 122 515 The 123 515 Sperm 124 515 Whale 126 515 is 127 515 in 128 515 some 129 515 cases 131 515 sufficiently 132 515 powerful, 133 515 knowing, 134 515 and 136 515 judiciously 137 515 malicious, 138 515 as 139 515 with 141 515 direct 142 515 aforethought 143 515 to 144 515 stave 146 515 in, 147 515 utterly 148 515 destroy, 149 515 and 151 515 sink 152 515 a 153 515 large 154 515 ship; 156 515 and 157 515 what 158 515 is 159 515 more, 161 515 the 162 515 Sperm 163 515 Whale 164 515 HAS 166 515 done 167 515 it. 168 515 First: 169 515 In 171 515 the 172 515 year 173 515 1820 174 515 the 176 515 ship 177 515 Essex, 178 515 Captain 179 515 Pollard, 181 515 of 182 515 Nantucket, 183 515 was 184 515 cruising 186 515 in 187 515 the 188 515 Pacific 189 515 Ocean. 191 515 One 192 515 day 193 515 she 194 515 saw 196 515 spouts, 197 515 lowered 198 515 her 199 515 boats, 201 515 and 202 515 gave 203 515 chase 204 515 to 207 515 a 208 515 shoal 209 515 of 211 515 sperm 212 515 whales. 213 515 Ere 214 515 long, 216 515 several 217 515 of 218 515 the 219 515 whales 221 515 were 222 515 wounded; 223 515 when, 224 515 suddenly, 226 515 a 227 515 very 228 515 large 229 515 whale 231 515 escaping 232 515 from 233 515 the 234 515 boats, 236 515 issued 237 515 from 238 515 the 239 515 shoal, 241 515 and 242 515 bore 243 515 directly 244 515 down 246 515 upon 247 515 the 248 515 ship. 249 515 Dashing 251 515 his 252 515 forehead 253 515 against 254 515 her 256 515 hull, 257 515 he 258 515 so 259 515 stove 261 515 her 262 515 in, 263 515 that 264 515 in 266 515 less 267 515 than 268 515 "ten 269 515 minutes" 271 515 she 272 515 settled 273 515 down 274 515 and 276 515 fell 277 515 over. 278 515 Not 279 515 a 281 515 surviving 282 515 plank 283 515 of 284 515 her 286 515 has 287 515 been 288 515 seen 289 515 since. 291 515 After 292 515 the 293 515 severest 294 515 exposure, 296 515 part 297 515 of 298 515 the 299 515 crew 301 515 reached 302 515 the 303 515 land 304 515 in 306 515 their 307 515 boats. 308 515 Being 311 515 returned 312 515 home 313 515 at 314 515 last, 316 515 Captain 317 515 Pollard 318 515 once 319 515 more 321 515 sailed 322 515 for 323 515 the 324 515 Pacific 326 515 in 327 515 command 328 515 of 329 515 another 331 515 ship, 332 515 but 333 515 the 334 515 gods 336 515 shipwrecked 337 515 him 338 515 again 339 515 upon 341 515 unknown 342 515 rocks 343 515 and 344 515 breakers; 346 515 for 347 515 the 348 515 second 349 515 time 351 515 his 352 515 ship 353 515 was 354 515 utterly 356 515 lost, 357 515 and 358 515 forthwith 359 515 forswearing 361 515 the 362 515 sea, 363 515 he 364 515 has 366 515 never 367 515 tempted 368 515 it 369 515 since. 371 515 At 372 515 this 373 515 day 374 515 Captain 376 515 Pollard 377 515 is 378 515 a 379 515 resident 381 515 of 382 515 Nantucket. 383 515 I 384 515 have 386 515 seen 387 515 Owen 388 515 Chace, 389 515 who 391 515 was 392 515 chief 393 515 mate 394 515 of 396 515 the 397 515 Essex 398 515 at 399 515 the 401 515 time 402 515 of 403 515 the 404 515 tragedy; 406 515 I 407 515 have 408 515 read 409 515 his 411 515 plain 413 515 and 414 515 faithful 416 515 narrative; 417 515 I 418 515 have 419 515 conversed 421 515 with 422 515 his 423 515 son; 424 515 and 426 515 all 427 515 this 428 515 within 429 515 a 431 515 few 432 515 miles 433 515 of 434 515 the 436 515 scene 437 515 of 438 515 the 439 515 catastrophe.* 441 515 *The 442 515 following 443 515 are 444 515 extracts 446 515 from 447 515 Chace's 448 515 narrative: 449 515 "Every 451 515 fact 452 515 seemed 453 515 to 454 515 warrant 456 515 me 457 515 in 458 515 concluding 459 515 that 461 515 it 462 515 was 463 515 anything 464 515 but 466 515 chance 467 515 which 468 515 directed 469 515 his 471 515 operations; 472 515 he 473 515 made 474 515 two 476 515 several 477 515 attacks 478 515 upon 479 515 the 481 515 ship, 482 515 at 483 515 a 484 515 short 486 515 interval 487 515 between 488 515 them, 489 515 both 491 515 of 492 515 which, 493 515 according 494 515 to 496 515 their 497 515 direction, 498 515 were 499 515 calculated 501 515 to 502 515 do 503 515 us 504 515 the 506 515 most 507 515 injury, 508 515 by 509 515 being 511 515 made 512 515 ahead, 513 515 and 514 515 thereby 1 516 combining 5 516 the 7 516 speed 11 516 of 13 516 the 17 516 two 19 516 objects 23 516 for 25 516 the 29 516 shock; 31 516 to 35 516 effect 37 516 which, 41 516 the 47 516 exact 49 516 manoeuvres 53 516 which 55 516 he 59 516 made 61 516 were 65 516 necessary. 67 516 His 71 516 aspect 73 516 was 77 516 most 79 516 horrible, 83 516 and 85 516 such 89 516 as 91 516 indicated 95 516 resentment 97 516 and 101 516 fury. 103 516 He 107 516 came 109 516 directly 113 516 from 115 516 the 119 516 shoal 121 516 which 125 516 we 127 516 had 131 516 just 133 516 before 137 516 entered, 139 516 and 143 516 in 145 516 which 149 516 we 151 516 had 155 516 struck 157 516 three 161 516 of 163 516 his 167 516 companions, 169 516 as 173 516 if 175 516 fired 179 516 with 181 516 revenge 185 516 for 187 516 their 191 516 sufferings." 193 516 Again: 197 516 "At 199 516 all 203 516 events, 205 516 the 209 516 whole 211 516 circumstances 217 516 taken 221 516 together, 223 516 all 227 516 happening 229 516 before 233 516 my 235 516 own 239 516 eyes, 241 516 and 245 516 producing, 247 516 at 251 516 the 253 516 time, 257 516 impressions 259 516 in 263 516 my 265 516 mind 269 516 of 271 516 decided, 275 516 calculating 277 516 mischief, 281 516 on 283 516 the 287 516 part 289 516 of 293 516 the 295 516 whale 299 516 (many 305 516 of 307 516 which 311 516 impressions 313 516 I 317 516 cannot 319 516 now 323 516 recall), 325 516 induce 329 516 me 331 516 to 335 516 be 337 516 satisfied 341 516 that 343 516 I 347 516 am 349 516 correct 353 516 in 355 516 my 359 516 opinion." 361 516 Here 365 516 are 367 516 his 371 516 reflections 373 516 some 377 516 time 379 516 after 383 516 quitting 385 516 the 389 516 ship, 391 516 during 395 516 a 397 516 black 401 516 night 403 516 an 407 516 open 409 516 boat, 413 516 when 415 516 almost 419 516 despairing 421 516 of 425 516 reaching 427 516 any 431 516 hospitable 433 516 shore. 437 516 "The 439 516 dark 443 516 ocean 445 516 and 449 516 swelling 451 516 waters 455 516 were 457 516 nothing; 461 516 the 463 516 fears 467 516 of 469 516 being 475 516 swallowed 479 516 up 481 516 by 485 516 some 487 516 dreadful 491 516 tempest, 493 516 or 497 516 dashed 499 516 upon 503 516 hidden 505 516 rocks, 509 516 with 511 516 all 515 516 the 1 517 other 2 517 ordinary 3 517 subjects 4 517 of 5 517 fearful 6 517 contemplation, 7 517 seemed 8 517 scarcely 9 517 entitled 10 517 to 12 517 a 13 517 moment's 14 517 thought; 15 517 the 16 517 dismal 17 517 looking 18 517 wreck, 19 517 and 20 517 THE 21 517 HORRID 23 517 ASPECT 24 517 AND 25 517 REVENGE 26 517 OF 27 517 THE 28 517 WHALE, 29 517 wholly 30 517 engrossed 31 517 my 32 517 reflections, 34 517 until 35 517 day 36 517 again 37 517 made 38 517 its 39 517 appearance." 40 517 In 41 517 another 42 517 place--p. 43 517 45,--he 45 517 speaks 46 517 of 48 517 "THE 49 517 MYSTERIOUS 50 517 AND 51 517 MORTAL 52 517 ATTACK 53 517 OF 54 517 THE 56 517 ANIMAL." 57 517 Secondly: 58 517 The 59 517 ship 60 517 Union, 61 517 also 62 517 of 63 517 Nantucket, 64 517 was 65 517 in 67 517 the 68 517 year 69 517 1807 70 517 totally 71 517 lost 72 517 off 73 517 the 74 517 Azores 75 517 by 76 517 a 78 517 similar 79 517 onset, 80 517 but 81 517 the 82 517 authentic 83 517 particulars 84 517 of 85 517 this 86 517 catastrophe 87 517 I 89 517 have 90 517 never 91 517 chanced 92 517 to 93 517 encounter, 95 517 though 96 517 from 97 517 the 98 517 whale 100 517 hunters 101 517 I 102 517 have 103 517 now 104 517 and 105 517 then 106 517 heard 107 517 casual 108 517 allusions 109 517 to 111 517 it. 112 517 Thirdly: 113 517 Some 114 517 eighteen 115 517 or 116 517 twenty 117 517 years 118 517 ago 119 517 Commodore 120 517 J---, 122 517 then 123 517 commanding 124 517 an 125 517 American 126 517 sloop-of-war 127 517 of 128 517 the 129 517 first 130 517 class, 131 517 happened 133 517 to 134 517 be 135 517 dining 136 517 with 137 517 a 138 517 party 139 517 of 140 517 whaling 142 517 captains, 144 517 on 145 517 board 146 517 a 147 517 Nantucket 148 517 ship 149 517 in 150 517 the 151 517 harbor 152 517 of 153 517 Oahu, 155 517 Sandwich 156 517 Islands. 157 517 Conversation 158 517 turning 159 517 upon 160 517 whales, 161 517 the 162 517 Commodore 163 517 was 164 517 pleased 166 517 to 167 517 be 168 517 sceptical 169 517 touching 170 517 the 171 517 amazing 172 517 strength 173 517 ascribed 174 517 to 175 517 them 177 517 by 178 517 the 179 517 professional 180 517 gentlemen 181 517 present. 182 517 He 183 517 peremptorily 184 517 denied 185 517 for 186 517 example, 189 517 that 190 517 any 191 517 whale 192 517 could 193 517 so 194 517 smite 195 517 his 196 517 stout 197 517 sloop-of-war 199 517 as 200 517 to 201 517 cause 202 517 her 203 517 to 204 517 leak 205 517 so 206 517 much 207 517 as 208 517 a 210 517 thimbleful. 211 517 Very 212 517 good; 213 517 but 214 517 there 215 517 is 216 517 more 217 517 coming. 218 517 Some 219 517 weeks 221 517 after, 222 517 the 223 517 Commodore 224 517 set 225 517 sail 226 517 in 227 517 this 228 517 impregnable 229 517 craft 230 517 for 232 517 Valparaiso. 233 517 But 234 517 he 236 517 was 237 517 stopped 238 517 on 239 517 the 240 517 way 241 517 by 243 517 a 244 517 portly 245 517 sperm 246 517 whale, 247 517 that 248 517 begged 249 517 a 250 517 few 251 517 moments' 252 517 confidential 254 517 business 255 517 with 256 517 him. 257 517 That 258 517 business 259 517 consisted 260 517 in 261 517 fetching 262 517 the 263 517 Commodore's 265 517 craft 266 517 such 267 517 a 268 517 thwack, 269 517 that 270 517 with 271 517 all 272 517 his 273 517 pumps 274 517 going 276 517 he 277 517 made 278 517 straight 279 517 for 280 517 the 281 517 nearest 283 517 port 284 517 to 285 517 heave 287 517 down 288 517 and 289 517 repair. 290 517 I 291 517 am 292 517 not 293 517 superstitious, 294 517 but 295 517 I 296 517 consider 298 517 the 299 517 Commodore's 300 517 interview 301 517 with 302 517 that 303 517 whale 304 517 as 305 517 providential. 306 517 Was 307 517 not 309 517 Saul 310 517 of 311 517 Tarsus 312 517 converted 313 517 from 314 517 unbelief 315 517 by 316 517 a 317 517 similar 318 517 fright? 320 517 I 321 517 tell 322 517 you, 323 517 the 324 517 sperm 325 517 whale 326 517 will 327 517 stand 328 517 no 331 517 nonsense. 332 517 I 333 517 will 334 517 now 335 517 refer 336 517 you 337 517 to 338 517 Langsdorff's 339 517 Voyages 340 517 for 342 517 a 343 517 little 344 517 circumstance 345 517 in 346 517 point, 347 517 peculiarly 348 517 interesting 349 517 to 350 517 the 351 517 writer 353 517 hereof. 354 517 Langsdorff, 355 517 you 356 517 must 357 517 know 358 517 by 359 517 the 360 517 way, 361 517 was 362 517 attached 364 517 to 365 517 the 366 517 Russian 367 517 Admiral 368 517 Krusenstern's 369 517 famous 370 517 Discovery 371 517 Expedition 372 517 in 373 517 the 375 517 beginning 377 517 of 378 517 the 379 517 present 380 517 century. 381 517 Captain 382 517 Langsdorff 383 517 thus 384 517 begins 386 517 his 387 517 seventeenth 388 517 chapter: 389 517 "By 390 517 the 391 517 thirteenth 392 517 of 393 517 May 394 517 our 395 517 ship 397 517 was 398 517 ready 399 517 to 400 517 sail, 401 517 and 402 517 the 403 517 next 404 517 day 405 517 we 406 517 were 408 517 out 409 517 in 410 517 the 411 517 open 412 517 sea, 413 517 on 414 517 our 415 517 way 416 517 to 417 517 Ochotsh. 419 517 The 420 517 weather 421 517 was 422 517 very 424 517 clear 425 517 and 426 517 fine, 427 517 but 428 517 so 430 517 intolerably 431 517 cold 432 517 that 433 517 we 434 517 were 435 517 obliged 436 517 to 437 517 keep 438 517 on 439 517 our 441 517 fur 442 517 clothing. 443 517 For 444 517 some 445 517 days 446 517 we 447 517 had 448 517 very 449 517 little 450 517 wind; 452 517 it 453 517 was 454 517 not 455 517 till 456 517 the 457 517 nineteenth 458 517 that 459 517 a 460 517 brisk 461 517 gale 463 517 from 464 517 the 465 517 northwest 466 517 sprang 467 517 up. 468 517 An 469 517 uncommon 471 517 large 472 517 whale, 474 517 the 475 517 body 476 517 of 477 517 which 478 517 was 479 517 larger 480 517 than 481 517 the 482 517 ship 483 517 itself, 485 517 lay 486 517 almost 487 517 at 488 517 the 489 517 surface 490 517 of 491 517 the 492 517 water, 493 517 but 494 517 was 496 517 not 497 517 perceived 498 517 by 499 517 any 500 517 one 501 517 on 502 517 board 503 517 till 504 517 the 505 517 moment 507 517 when 508 517 the 509 517 ship, 510 517 which 511 517 was 512 517 in 513 517 full 514 517 sail, 515 517 was 516 517 almost 1 518 upon 3 518 him, 5 518 so 9 518 that 11 518 it 13 518 was 15 518 impossible 17 518 to 19 518 prevent 23 518 its 25 518 striking 27 518 against 29 518 him. 31 518 We 33 518 were 39 518 thus 41 518 placed 43 518 in 45 518 the 47 518 most 51 518 imminent 53 518 danger, 55 518 as 57 518 this 59 518 gigantic 61 518 creature, 65 518 setting 67 518 up 69 518 its 71 518 back, 73 518 raised 75 518 the 79 518 ship 81 518 three 83 518 feet 85 518 at 87 518 least 89 518 out 93 518 of 95 518 the 97 518 water. 99 518 The 101 518 masts 103 518 reeled, 107 518 and 109 518 the 113 518 sails 115 518 fell 117 518 altogether, 121 518 while 123 518 we 125 518 who 127 518 were 129 518 below 131 518 all 135 518 sprang 137 518 instantly 139 518 upon 141 518 the 143 518 deck, 145 518 concluding 149 518 that 151 518 we 153 518 had 155 518 struck 157 518 upon 159 518 some 163 518 rock; 165 518 instead 167 518 of 169 518 this 171 518 we 173 518 saw 177 518 the 179 518 monster 181 518 sailing 183 518 off 187 518 with 191 518 the 193 518 utmost 195 518 gravity 197 518 and 199 518 solemnity. 201 518 Captain 205 518 D'Wolf 207 518 applied 209 518 immediately 211 518 to 213 518 the 215 518 pumps 219 518 to 221 518 examine 223 518 whether 225 518 or 227 518 not 229 518 the 233 518 vessel 235 518 had 237 518 received 239 518 any 241 518 damage 243 518 from 247 518 the 249 518 shock, 251 518 but 253 518 we 255 518 found 257 518 that 261 518 very 263 518 happily 265 518 it 267 518 had 269 518 escaped 271 518 entirely 275 518 uninjured." 277 518 Now, 279 518 the 281 518 Captain 283 518 D'Wolf 285 518 here 289 518 alluded 291 518 to 293 518 as 295 518 commanding 297 518 the 299 518 ship 303 518 in 305 518 question, 307 518 is 309 518 a 311 518 New 313 518 Englander, 317 518 who, 319 518 after 321 518 a 323 518 long 325 518 life 327 518 of 331 518 unusual 335 518 adventures 337 518 as 339 518 a 341 518 sea-captain, 345 518 this 347 518 day 349 518 resides 351 518 in 353 518 the 355 518 village 359 518 of 361 518 Dorchester 363 518 near 365 518 Boston. 367 518 I 369 518 have 373 518 the 375 518 honour 377 518 of 379 518 being 381 518 a 383 518 nephew 387 518 of 389 518 his. 391 518 I 393 518 have 395 518 particularly 397 518 questioned 401 518 him 403 518 concerning 405 518 this 409 518 passage 411 518 in 415 518 Langsdorff. 417 518 He 419 518 substantiates 421 518 every 423 518 word. 425 518 The 429 518 ship, 431 518 however, 433 518 was 435 518 by 437 518 no 439 518 means 443 518 a 445 518 large 447 518 one: 449 518 a 451 518 Russian 453 518 craft 457 518 built 459 518 on 461 518 the 463 518 Siberian 465 518 coast, 467 518 and 471 518 purchased 473 518 by 475 518 my 477 518 uncle 479 518 after 485 518 bartering 487 518 away 489 518 the 491 518 vessel 493 518 in 495 518 which 499 518 he 501 518 sailed 503 518 from 505 518 home. 507 518 In 509 518 that 513 518 up 515 518 and 517 518 down 1 519 manly 2 519 book 4 519 of 5 519 old-fashioned 7 519 adventure, 8 519 so 10 519 full, 11 519 too, 13 519 of 14 519 honest 16 519 wonders--the 17 519 voyage 19 519 of 20 519 Lionel 22 519 Wafer, 23 519 one 25 519 of 26 519 ancient 28 519 Dampier's 29 519 old 31 519 chums--I 32 519 found 34 519 a 35 519 little 37 519 matter 38 519 set 40 519 down 41 519 so 43 519 like 44 519 that 46 519 just 47 519 quoted 49 519 from 50 519 Langsdorff, 52 519 that 53 519 I 55 519 cannot 56 519 forbear 58 519 inserting 59 519 it 61 519 here 62 519 for 64 519 a 65 519 corroborative 67 519 example, 68 519 if 70 519 such 71 519 be 73 519 needed. 74 519 Lionel, 76 519 it 77 519 seems, 79 519 was 80 519 on 82 519 his 83 519 way 85 519 to 86 519 "John 88 519 Ferdinando," 89 519 as 91 519 he 92 519 calls 94 519 the 95 519 modern 97 519 Juan 98 519 Fernandes. 100 519 "In 101 519 our 103 519 way 104 519 thither," 106 519 he 107 519 says, 109 519 "about 110 519 four 112 519 o'clock 113 519 in 115 519 the 116 519 morning, 118 519 when 119 519 we 121 519 were 122 519 about 124 519 one 125 519 hundred 127 519 and 128 519 fifty 130 519 leagues 131 519 from 133 519 the 134 519 Main 136 519 of 137 519 America, 139 519 our 140 519 ship 142 519 felt 143 519 a 145 519 terrible 146 519 shock, 148 519 which 149 519 put 151 519 our 152 519 men 154 519 in 155 519 such 157 519 consternation 158 519 that 160 519 they 161 519 could 163 519 hardly 164 519 tell 166 519 where 167 519 they 169 519 were 170 519 or 172 519 what 175 519 to 176 519 think; 178 519 but 179 519 every 181 519 one 182 519 began 184 519 to 185 519 prepare 187 519 for 188 519 death. 190 519 And, 191 519 indeed, 193 519 the 194 519 shock 196 519 was 197 519 so 199 519 sudden 200 519 and 202 519 violent, 203 519 that 205 519 we 206 519 took 208 519 it 209 519 for 211 519 granted 212 519 the 214 519 ship 215 519 had 217 519 struck 218 519 against 220 519 a 221 519 rock; 223 519 but 224 519 when 226 519 the 227 519 amazement 229 519 was 230 519 a 232 519 little 233 519 over, 235 519 we 236 519 cast 238 519 the 239 519 lead, 241 519 and 242 519 sounded, 244 519 but 245 519 found 247 519 no 248 519 ground. 250 519 .... 251 519 The 253 519 suddenness 254 519 of 256 519 the 257 519 shock 259 519 made 260 519 the 262 519 guns 263 519 leap 265 519 in 266 519 their 268 519 carriages, 269 519 and 271 519 several 272 519 of 274 519 the 275 519 men 277 519 were 278 519 shaken 280 519 out 281 519 of 283 519 their 284 519 hammocks. 286 519 Captain 287 519 Davis, 289 519 who 290 519 lay 292 519 with 293 519 his 295 519 head 296 519 on 298 519 a 299 519 gun, 301 519 was 302 519 thrown 304 519 out 305 519 of 307 519 his 308 519 cabin!" 310 519 Lionel 311 519 then 313 519 goes 314 519 on 316 519 to 317 519 impute 319 519 the 320 519 shock 322 519 to 323 519 an 325 519 earthquake, 326 519 and 328 519 seems 329 519 to 331 519 substantiate 332 519 the 334 519 imputation 335 519 by 337 519 stating 338 519 that 340 519 a 341 519 great 343 519 earthquake, 344 519 somewhere 347 519 about 349 519 that 350 519 time, 352 519 did 353 519 actually 355 519 do 356 519 great 358 519 mischief 359 519 along 361 519 the 362 519 Spanish 364 519 land. 365 519 But 367 519 I 368 519 should 370 519 not 371 519 much 373 519 wonder 374 519 if, 376 519 in 377 519 the 379 519 darkness 380 519 of 382 519 that 383 519 early 385 519 hour 386 519 of 388 519 the 389 519 morning, 391 519 the 392 519 shock 394 519 was 395 519 after 397 519 all 398 519 caused 400 519 by 401 519 an 403 519 unseen 404 519 whale 406 519 vertically 407 519 bumping 409 519 the 410 519 hull 412 519 from 413 519 beneath. 415 519 I 416 519 might 418 519 proceed 419 519 with 421 519 several 422 519 more 424 519 examples, 425 519 one 427 519 way 428 519 or 430 519 another 431 519 known 433 519 to 434 519 me, 436 519 of 437 519 the 439 519 great 440 519 power 442 519 and 443 519 malice 445 519 at 446 519 times 448 519 of 449 519 the 451 519 sperm 452 519 whale. 454 519 In 455 519 more 457 519 than 458 519 one 460 519 instance, 461 519 he 463 519 has 464 519 been 466 519 known, 467 519 not 469 519 only 470 519 to 472 519 chase 473 519 the 475 519 assailing 476 519 boats 478 519 back 479 519 to 481 519 their 482 519 ships, 484 519 but 485 519 to 487 519 pursue 488 519 the 490 519 ship 491 519 itself, 493 519 and 494 519 long 496 519 withstand 497 519 all 499 519 the 500 519 lances 502 519 hurled 503 519 at 505 519 him 506 519 from 508 519 its 509 519 decks. 511 519 The 512 519 English 514 519 ship 515 519 Pusie 517 519 Hall 518 519 can 1 520 tell 3 520 a 7 520 story 9 520 on 11 520 that 17 520 head; 19 520 and, 21 520 as 23 520 for 27 520 his 29 520 strength, 31 520 let 33 520 me 37 520 say, 41 520 that 43 520 there 47 520 have 49 520 been 51 520 examples 53 520 where 57 520 the 59 520 lines 61 520 attached 63 520 to 67 520 a 69 520 running 71 520 sperm 73 520 whale 77 520 have, 79 520 in 81 520 a 83 520 calm, 87 520 been 89 520 transferred 93 520 to 97 520 the 99 520 ship, 101 520 and 103 520 secured 107 520 there; 109 520 the 111 520 whale 113 520 towing 119 520 her 121 520 great 123 520 hull 127 520 through 129 520 the 131 520 water, 133 520 as 137 520 a 139 520 horse 141 520 walks 147 520 off 149 520 with 151 520 a 153 520 cart. 157 520 Again, 159 520 it 161 520 is 163 520 very 167 520 often 171 520 observed 173 520 that, 177 520 if 179 520 the 181 520 sperm 183 520 whale, 187 520 once 189 520 struck, 191 520 is 193 520 allowed 197 520 time 199 520 to 201 520 rally, 203 520 he 207 520 then 209 520 acts, 211 520 not 213 520 so 217 520 often 219 520 with 223 520 blind 227 520 rage, 229 520 as 231 520 with 233 520 wilful, 237 520 deliberate 239 520 designs 241 520 of 243 520 destruction 249 520 to 251 520 his 253 520 pursuers; 257 520 nor 259 520 is 261 520 it 263 520 without 267 520 conveying 269 520 some 271 520 eloquent 277 520 indication 279 520 of 281 520 his 283 520 character, 287 520 that 289 520 upon 291 520 being 293 520 attacked 297 520 he 301 520 will 303 520 frequently 307 520 open 309 520 his 311 520 mouth, 313 520 and 317 520 retain 319 520 it 321 520 in 323 520 that 327 520 dread 329 520 expansion 331 520 for 333 520 several 337 520 consecutive 339 520 minutes. 341 520 But 343 520 I 347 520 must 349 520 be 353 520 content 357 520 with 359 520 only 361 520 one 363 520 more 367 520 and 369 520 a 371 520 concluding 373 520 illustration; 379 520 a 381 520 remarkable 383 520 and 387 520 most 389 520 significant 391 520 one, 393 520 by 397 520 which 399 520 you 401 520 will 407 520 not 409 520 fail 411 520 to 413 520 see, 417 520 that 419 520 not 421 520 only 423 520 is 427 520 the 431 520 most 433 520 marvellous 437 520 event 439 520 in 441 520 this 443 520 book 447 520 corroborated 449 520 by 451 520 plain 453 520 facts 457 520 of 459 520 the 461 520 present 463 520 day, 467 520 but 469 520 that 471 520 these 473 520 marvels 477 520 (like 479 520 all 483 520 marvels) 487 520 are 489 520 mere 491 520 repetitions 493 520 of 497 520 the 499 520 ages; 501 520 so 503 520 that 509 520 for 511 520 the 513 520 millionth 517 520 time 519 520 we 1 521 say 2 521 amen 3 521 with 4 521 Solomon--Verily 5 521 there 6 521 is 7 521 nothing 8 521 new 9 521 under 10 521 the 11 521 sun. 12 521 In 13 521 the 14 521 sixth 15 521 Christian 16 521 century 17 521 lived 18 521 Procopius, 19 521 a 20 521 Christian 21 521 magistrate 22 521 of 23 521 Constantinople, 24 521 in 25 521 the 26 521 days 27 521 when 28 521 Justinian 29 521 was 30 521 Emperor 31 521 and 32 521 Belisarius 33 521 general. 34 521 As 35 521 many 36 521 know, 37 521 he 38 521 wrote 39 521 the 40 521 history 41 521 of 42 521 his 43 521 own 44 521 times, 45 521 a 46 521 work 47 521 every 48 521 way 49 521 of 50 521 uncommon 51 521 value. 52 521 By 53 521 the 54 521 best 55 521 authorities, 56 521 he 57 521 has 58 521 always 59 521 been 60 521 considered 61 521 a 62 521 most 63 521 trustworthy 64 521 and 65 521 unexaggerating 66 521 historian, 67 521 except 68 521 in 69 521 some 70 521 one 71 521 or 72 521 two 73 521 particulars, 74 521 not 75 521 at 76 521 all 77 521 affecting 78 521 the 79 521 matter 80 521 presently 81 521 to 82 521 be 83 521 mentioned. 84 521 Now, 85 521 in 86 521 this 87 521 history 88 521 of 89 521 his, 90 521 Procopius 91 521 mentions 92 521 that, 93 521 during 94 521 the 95 521 term 96 521 of 97 521 his 98 521 prefecture 99 521 at 100 521 Constantinople, 101 521 a 102 521 great 103 521 sea-monster 104 521 was 105 521 captured 106 521 in 107 521 the 108 521 neighboring 109 521 Propontis, 110 521 or 111 521 Sea 112 521 of 113 521 Marmora, 114 521 after 115 521 having 116 521 destroyed 117 521 vessels 118 521 at 119 521 intervals 120 521 in 121 521 those 122 521 waters 123 521 for 124 521 a 125 521 period 126 521 of 127 521 more 128 521 than 129 521 fifty 130 521 years. 131 521 A 132 521 fact 133 521 thus 134 521 set 135 521 down 136 521 in 137 521 substantial 138 521 history 139 521 cannot 140 521 easily 141 521 be 142 521 gainsaid. 143 521 Nor 144 521 is 145 521 there 146 521 any 147 521 reason 148 521 it 149 521 should 150 521 be. 151 521 Of 152 521 what 153 521 precise 154 521 species 155 521 this 156 521 sea-monster 157 521 was, 158 521 is 159 521 not 160 521 mentioned. 161 521 But 162 521 as 163 521 he 164 521 destroyed 165 521 ships, 166 521 as 167 521 well 168 521 as 169 521 for 170 521 other 171 521 reasons, 172 521 he 173 521 must 174 521 have 175 521 been 176 521 a 177 521 whale; 178 521 and 179 521 I 180 521 am 181 521 strongly 182 521 inclined 183 521 to 184 521 think 185 521 a 186 521 sperm 187 521 whale. 188 521 And 189 521 I 190 521 will 191 521 tell 192 521 you 193 521 why. 194 521 For 195 521 a 196 521 long 197 521 time 198 521 I 199 521 fancied 200 521 that 201 521 the 202 521 sperm 203 521 whale 204 521 had 205 521 been 206 521 always 207 521 unknown 208 521 in 209 521 the 210 521 Mediterranean 211 521 and 212 521 the 213 521 deep 214 521 waters 215 521 connecting 216 521 with 217 521 it. 218 521 Even 219 521 now 220 521 I 221 521 am 222 521 certain 223 521 that 224 521 those 225 521 seas 226 521 are 227 521 not, 228 521 and 229 521 perhaps 230 521 never 231 521 can 232 521 be, 233 521 in 234 521 the 235 521 present 236 521 constitution 237 521 of 238 521 things, 239 521 a 240 521 place 241 521 for 242 521 his 243 521 habitual 244 521 gregarious 245 521 resort. 246 521 But 247 521 further 248 521 investigations 249 521 have 250 521 recently 251 521 proved 252 521 to 253 521 me, 254 521 that 255 521 in 256 521 modern 257 521 times 258 521 there 259 521 have 260 521 been 261 521 isolated 262 521 instances 263 521 of 264 521 the 265 521 presence 266 521 of 267 521 the 268 521 sperm 269 521 whale 270 521 in 271 521 the 272 521 Mediterranean. 273 521 I 274 521 am 275 521 told, 276 521 on 277 521 good 278 521 authority, 279 521 that 280 521 on 281 521 the 282 521 Barbary 283 521 coast, 284 521 a 285 521 Commodore 286 521 Davis 287 521 of 288 521 the 289 521 British 290 521 navy 291 521 found 292 521 the 293 521 skeleton 294 521 of 295 521 a 296 521 sperm 297 521 whale. 298 521 Now, 299 521 as 300 521 a 301 521 vessel 302 521 of 303 521 war 304 521 readily 305 521 passes 306 521 through 307 521 the 308 521 Dardanelles, 309 521 hence 310 521 a 311 521 sperm 312 521 whale 313 521 could, 314 521 by 315 521 the 316 521 same 317 521 route, 318 521 pass 319 521 out 320 521 of 321 521 the 322 521 Mediterranean 323 521 into 324 521 the 325 521 Propontis. 326 521 In 327 521 the 328 521 Propontis, 329 521 as 330 521 far 331 521 as 332 521 I 333 521 can 334 521 learn, 335 521 none 336 521 of 337 521 that 338 521 peculiar 339 521 substance 340 521 called 341 521 BRIT 342 521 is 343 521 to 344 521 be 345 521 found, 346 521 the 347 521 aliment 348 521 of 349 521 the 350 521 right 351 521 whale. 352 521 But 353 521 I 354 521 have 355 521 every 356 521 reason 357 521 to 358 521 believe 359 521 that 360 521 the 361 521 food 362 521 of 363 521 the 364 521 sperm 365 521 whale--squid 366 521 or 367 521 cuttle-fish--lurks 368 521 at 369 521 the 370 521 bottom 371 521 of 372 521 that 373 521 sea, 374

with 445 521 the 446 521 hot 447 521 fire 448 521 of 449 521 his 450 521 purpose, 451 521 Ahab 452 521 in 453 521 all 454 521 his 455 521 thoughts 456 521 and 457 521 actions 458 521 ever 459 521 had 460 521 in 461 521 view 462 521 the 463 521 ultimate 464 521 capture 465 521 of 466 521 Moby 467 521 Dick; 468 521 though 469 521 he 470 521 seemed 471 521 ready 472 521 to 473 521 sacrifice 474 521 all 475 521 mortal 476 521 interests 477 521 to 478 521 that 479 521 one 480 521 passion; 481 521 nevertheless 482 521 it 483 521 may 484 521 have 485 521 been 486 521 that 487 521 he 488 521 was 489 521 by 490 521 nature 491 521 and 492 521 long 493 521 habituation 494 521 far 495 521 too 496 521 wedded 497 521 to 498 521 a 499 521 fiery 500 521 whaleman's 501 521 ways, 502 521 altogether 503 521 to 504 521 abandon 505 521 the 506 521 collateral 507 521 prosecution 508 521 of 509 521 the 510 521 voyage. 511 521 Or 512 521 at 513 521 least 514 521 if 515 521 this 516 521 were 517 521 otherwise, 518 521 there 519 521 were 520 521 not 1 522 wanting 5 522 other 7 522 motives 11 522 much 13 522 more 17 522 influential 19 522 with 23 522 him. 25 522 It 31 522 would 35 522 be 37 522 refining 41 522 too 43 522 much, 47 522 perhaps, 49 522 even 53 522 considering 55 522 his 59 522 monomania, 61 522 to 65 522 hint 67 522 that 71 522 his 73 522 vindictiveness 77 522 towards 79 522 the 83 522 White 85 522 Whale 89 522 might 91 522 have 95 522 possibly 97 522 extended 101 522 itself 103 522 in 107 522 some 109 522 degree 113 522 to 115 522 all 119 522 sperm 121 522 whales, 125 522 and 127 522 that 131 522 the 133 522 more 137 522 monsters 139 522 he 143 522 slew 149 522 by 151 522 so 155 522 much 157 522 the 161 522 more 163 522 he 167 522 multiplied 169 522 the 173 522 chances 175 522 that 179 522 each 181 522 subsequently 185 522 encountered 187 522 whale 191 522 would 193 522 prove 197 522 to 199 522 be 205 522 the 209 522 hated 211 522 one 215 522 he 217 522 hunted. 221 522 But 223 522 if 227 522 such 229 522 an 233 522 hypothesis 235 522 be 239 522 indeed 241 522 exceptionable, 245 522 there 247 522 were 251 522 still 253 522 additional 257 522 considerations 259 522 which, 263 522 though 265 522 not 269 522 so 271 522 strictly 275 522 according 277 522 with 281 522 the 283 522 wildness 287 522 of 289 522 his 293 522 ruling 295 522 passion, 299 522 yet 301 522 were 305 522 by 307 522 no 311 522 means 313 522 incapable 317 522 of 323 522 swaying 325 522 him. 329 522 To 331 522 accomplish 335 522 his 337 522 object 341 522 Ahab 343 522 must 347 522 use 349 522 tools; 353 522 and 355 522 of 359 522 all 361 522 tools 365 522 used 367 522 in 371 522 the 373 522 shadow 379 522 of 383 522 the 385 522 moon, 389 522 men 391 522 are 395 522 most 397 522 apt 401 522 to 403 522 get 407 522 out 409 522 of 413 522 order. 415 522 He 419 522 knew, 421 522 for 425 522 example, 427 522 that 431 522 however 433 522 magnetic 437 522 his 439 522 ascendency 443 522 in 445 522 some 449 522 respects 451 522 was 455 522 over 457 522 Starbuck, 461 522 yet 463 522 that 467 522 ascendency 469 522 did 473 522 not 475 522 cover 479 522 the 481 522 complete 485 522 spiritual 487 522 man 491 522 any 497 522 more 499 522 than 503 522 mere 505 522 corporeal 509 522 superiority 511 522 involves 515 522 intellectual 517 522 mastership; 521 522 for 1 523 to 2 523 the 3 523 purely 4 523 spiritual, 5 523 the 6 523 intellectual 7 523 but 8 523 stand 9 523 in 10 523 a 11 523 sort 12 523 of 13 523 corporeal 14 523 relation. 15 523 Starbuck's 16 523 body 17 523 and 18 523 Starbuck's 19 523 coerced 20 523 will 21 523 were 22 523 Ahab's, 23 523 so 24 523 long 25 523 as 26 523 Ahab 27 523 kept 28 523 his 29 523 magnet 30 523 at 31 523 Starbuck's 32 523 brain; 33 523 still 34 523 he 35 523 knew 36 523 that 37 523 for 38 523 all 39 523 this 40 523 the 41 523 chief 42 523 mate, 43 523 in 44 523 his 45 523 soul, 46 523 abhorred 47 523 his 48 523 captain's 49 523 quest, 50 523 and 51 523 could 52 523 he, 53 523 would 54 523 joyfully 55 523 disintegrate 56 523 himself 57 523 from 58 523 it, 59 523 or 60 523 even 61 523 frustrate 62 523 it. 63 523 It 64 523 might 65 523 be 66 523 that 67 523 a 68 523 long 69 523 interval 70 523 would 71 523 elapse 72 523 ere 73 523 the 74 523 White 75 523 Whale 76 523 was 77 523 seen. 78 523 During 79 523 that 80 523 long 81 523 interval 82 523 Starbuck 83 523 would 84 523 ever 85 523 be 86 523 apt 87 523 to 88 523 fall 89 523 into 90 523 open 91 523 relapses 92 523 of 93 523 rebellion 94 523 against 95 523 his 96 523 captain's 97 523 leadership, 98 523 unless 99 523 some 100 523 ordinary, 101 523 prudential, 102 523 circumstantial 103 523 influences 104 523 were 105 523 brought 106 523 to 107 523 bear 108 523 upon 109 523 him. 110 523 Not 111 523 only 112 523 that, 113 523 but 114 523 the 115 523 subtle 116 523 insanity 117 523 of 118 523 Ahab 119 523 respecting 120 523 Moby 121 523 Dick 122 523 was 123 523 noways 124 523 more 125 523 significantly 126 523 manifested 127 523 than 128 523 in 129 523 his 130 523 superlative 131 523 sense 132 523 and 133 523 shrewdness 134 523 in 135 523 foreseeing 136 523 that, 137 523 for 138 523 the 139 523 present, 140 523 the 141 523 hunt 142 523 should 143 523 in 144 523 some 145 523 way 146 523 be 147 523 stripped 148 523 of 149 523 that 150 523 strange 151 523 imaginative 152 523 impiousness 153 523 which 154 523 naturally 155 523 invested 156 523 it; 157 523 that 158 523 the 159 523 full 160 523 terror 161 523 of 162 523 the 163 523 voyage 164 523 must 165 523 be 166 523 kept 167 523 withdrawn 168 523 into 169 523 the 170 523 obscure 171 523 background 172 523 (for 173 523 few 174 523 men's 175 523 courage 176 523 is 177 523 proof 178 523 against 179 523 protracted 180 523 meditation 181 523 unrelieved 182 523 by 183 523 action); 184 523 that 185 523 when 186 523 they 187 523 stood 188 523 their 189 523 long 190 523 night 191 523 watches, 192 523 his 193 523 officers

523 eagerly 210 523 and 211 523 impetuously 212 523 the 213 523 savage 214 523 crew 215 523 had 216 523 hailed 217 523 the 218 523 announcement 219 523 of 220 523 his 221 523 quest; 222 523 yet 223 523 all 224 523 sailors 225 523 of 226 523 all 227 523 sorts 228 523 are 229 523 more 230 523 or 231 523 less 232 523 capricious 233 523 and 234 523 unreliable--they 235 523 live 236 523 in 237 523

obedience 85 524 to 87 524 him, 89 524 and 91 524 even 93 524 violently 95 524 wrest 97 524 from 99 524 him 101 524 the 103 524 command. 105 524 From 107 524 even 109 524 the 111 524 barely 113 524 hinted 115 524 imputation 117 524 of 119 524 usurpation, 121 524 and 123 524 the 125 524 possible 127 524 consequences 129 524 of 133 524 such 135 524 a 137 524 suppressed 139 524 impression 141 524 gaining 143 524 ground, 145 524 Ahab 147 524 must 149 524 of 151 524 course 153 524 have 155 524 been 157 524 most 159 524 anxious 161 524 to 163 524 protect 165 524 himself. 167 524 That 169 524 protection 171 524 could 173 524 only 175 524 consist 177 524 in 179 524 his 181 524 own 183 524 predominating 185 524 brain 187 524 and 189 524 heart 191 524 and 193 524 hand, 195 524 backed 197 524 by 199 524 a 201 524 heedful, 203 524 closely 205 524 calculating 207 524 attention 209 524 to 211 524 every 213 524 minute 215 524 atmospheric 217 524 influence 219 524 which 221 524 it 223 524 was 225 524 possible 227 524 for 229 524 his 231 524 crew 233 524 to 235 524 be 237 524 subjected 239 524 to. 241 524 For 243 524 all 245 524 these 247 524 reasons 249 524 then, 251 524 and 253 524 others 255 524 perhaps 257 524 too 259 524 analytic 261 524 to 263 524 be 265 524 verbally 267 524 developed 269 524 here, 271 524 Ahab 273 524 plainly 275 524 saw 277 524 that 279 524 he 281 524 must 283 524 still 285 524 in 287 524 a 289 524 good 291 524 degree 293 524 continue 295 524 true 297 524 to 299 524 the 301 524 natural, 303 524 nominal 305 524 purpose 307 524 of 309 524 the 311 524 Pequod's 313 524 voyage; 315 524 observe 317 524 all 319 524 customary 321 524 usages; 323 524 and 325 524 not 327 524 only 329 524 that, 331 524 but 333 524 force 335 524 himself 337 524 to 339 524 evince 341 524 all 343 524 his 345 524 well 347 524 known 349 524 passionate 351 524 interest 353 524 in 355 524 the 357 524 general 359 524 pursuit 361 524 of 363 524 his 365 524 profession. 367 524 Be 369 524 all 371 524 this 373 524 as 375 524 it 377 524 may, 379 524 his 381 524 voice 383 524 was 385 524 now 387 524 often 389 524 heard 391 524 hailing 395 524 the 397 524 three 399 524 mast-heads 401 524 and 403 524 admonishing 405 524 them 407 524 to 409 524 keep 411 524 a 413 524 bright 415 524 look-out, 417 524 and 419 524 not 421 524 omit 423 524 reporting 425 524 even 427 524 a 429 524 porpoise. 431 524 This 433 524 vigilance 435 524 was 437 524 not 439 524 long 441 524 without 443 524 reward. 445 524 CHAPTER 447 524 47 449 524 The 451 524 Mat-Maker. 453 524 It 455 524 was 457 524 a 459 524 cloudy, 461 524 sultry 463 524 afternoon; 465 524 the 467 524 seamen 469 524 were 471 524 lazily 473 524 lounging 475 524 about 477 524 the 479 524 decks, 481 524 or 483 524 vacantly 485 524 gazing 487 524 over 489 524 into 491 524 the 493 524 lead-coloured 495 524 waters. 497 524 Queequeg 499 524 and 501 524 I 503 524 were 505 524 mildly 507 524 employed 509 524 weaving 511 524 what 513 524 is 515 524 called 517 524 a 519 524 sword-mat, 521 524 for 523 524 an 1 525 additional 2 525 lashing 4 525 to 8 525 our 11 525 boat. 13 525 So 16 525 still 17 525 and 19 525 subdued 22 525 and 23 525 yet 26 525 somehow 29 525 preluding 31 525 was 32 525 all 34 525 the 37 525 scene, 38 525 and 41 525 such 43 525 an 44 525 incantation 46 525 of 47 525 reverie 52 525 lurked 53 525 in 58 525 the 59 525 air, 61 525 that 62 525 each 64 525 silent 67 525 sailor 68 525 seemed 71 525 resolved 73 525 into 74 525 his 76 525 own 79 525 invisible 82 525 self. 83 525 I 86 525 was 88 525 the 89 525 attendant 92 525 or 94 525 page 97 525 of 101 525 Queequeg, 103 525 while 104 525 busy 106 525 at 107 525 the 109 525 mat. 113 525 As 116 525 I 118 525 kept 121 525 passing 122 525 and 124 525 repassing 127 525 the 128 525 filling 131 525 or 134 525 woof 136 525 of 137 525 marline 139 525 between 142 525 the 143 525 long 146 525 yarns 148 525 of 149 525 the 151 525 warp, 152 525 using 157 525 my 158 525 own 163 525 hand 164 525 for 166 525 the 167 525 shuttle, 169 525 and 172 525 as 173 525 Queequeg, 176 525 standing 178 525 sideways, 179 525 ever 181 525 and 184 525 anon 187 525 slid 188 525 his 191 525 heavy 193 525 oaken 194 525 sword 197 525 between 199 525 the 202 525 threads, 206 525 and 208 525 idly 209 525 looking 211 525 off 212 525 upon 214 525 the 218 525 water, 221 525 carelessly 223 525 and 226 525 unthinkingly 227 525 drove 229 525 home 232 525 every 233 525 yarn: 236 525 I 239 525 say 241 525 so 242 525 strange 244 525 a 247 525 dreaminess 248 525 did 251 525 there 253 525 then 254 525 reign 256 525 all 257 525 over 262 525 the 263 525 ship 268 525 and 269 525 all 271 525 over 272 525 the 274 525 sea, 277 525 only 278 525 broken 281 525 by 283 525 the 284 525 intermitting 286 525 dull 289 525 sound 292 525 of 293 525 the 296 525 sword, 298 525 that 299 525 it 302 525 seemed 304 525 as 307 525 if 311 525 this 313 525 were 314 525 the 316 525 Loom 317 525 of 319 525 Time, 323 525 and 326 525 I 328 525 myself 331 525 were 332 525 a 334 525 shuttle 337 525 mechanically 338 525 weaving 341 525 and 344 525 weaving 346 525 away 347 525 at 349 525 the 352 525 Fates. 353 525 There 356 525 lay 358 525 the 359 525 fixed 361 525 threads 362 525 of 367 525 the 368 525 warp 373 525 subject 374 525 to 376 525 but 377 525 one 379 525 single, 382 525 ever 383 525 returning, 386 525 unchanging 388 525 vibration, 389 525 and 391 525 that 394 525 vibration 397 525 merely 398 525 enough 401 525 to 403 525 admit 404 525 of 407 525 the 409 525 crosswise 412 525 interblending 416 525 of 418 525 other 419 525 threads 421 525 with 422 525 its 424 525 own. 428 525 This 431 525 warp 433 525 seemed 436 525 necessity; 437 525 and 439 525 here, 442 525 thought 443 525 I, 446 525 with 449 525 my 451 525 own 452 525 hand 454 525 I 457 525 ply 458 525 my 461 525 own 463 525 shuttle 464 525 and 466 525 weave 467 525 my 472 525 own 473 525 destiny 478 525 into 479 525 these 481 525 unalterable 482 525 threads. 484 525 Meantime, 487 525 Queequeg's 488 525 impulsive, 491 525 indifferent 493 525 sword, 494 525 sometimes 496 525 hitting 499 525 the 502 525 woof 503 525 slantingly, 506 525 or 508 525 crookedly, 509 525 or 512 525 strongly, 514 525 or 517 525 weakly, 521 525 as 523 525 the 524 525 case 1 526 might 3 526 be; 5 526 and 7 526 by 9 526 this 11 526 difference 13 526 in 15 526 the 17 526 concluding 19 526 blow 21 526 producing 23 526 a 25 526 corresponding 27 526 contrast 29 526 in 31 526 the 33 526 final 35 526 aspect 37 526 of 39 526 the 41 526 completed 43 526 fabric; 45 526 this 47 526 savage's 49 526 sword, 51 526 thought 53 526 I, 55 526 which 57 526 thus 59 526 finally 61 526 shapes 63 526 and 65 526 fashions 67 526 both 69 526 warp 71 526 and 73 526 woof; 75 526 this 77 526 easy, 79 526 indifferent 81 526 sword 83 526 must 85 526 be 87 526 chance--aye, 89 526 chance, 91 526 free 93 526 will, 95 526 and 97 526 necessity--nowise 99 526 incompatible--all 101 526 interweavingly 103 526 working 105 526 together. 107 526 The 109 526 straight 111 526 warp 113 526 of 115 526 necessity, 117 526 not 119 526 to 121 526 be 123 526 swerved 125 526 from 127 526 its 129 526 ultimate 131 526 course--its 133 526 every 135 526 alternating 137 526 vibration, 139 526 indeed, 141 526 only 143 526 tending 145 526 to 147 526 that; 149 526 free 151 526 will 153 526 still 155 526 free 157 526 to 159 526 ply 161 526 her 163 526 shuttle 165 526 between 167 526 given 169 526 threads; 171 526 and 173 526 chance, 175 526 though 177 526 restrained 179 526 in 181 526 its 183 526 play 185 526 within 187 526 the 189 526 right 191 526 lines 193 526 of 195 526 necessity, 197 526 and 199 526 sideways 201 526 in 203 526 its 205 526 motions 207 526 directed 209 526 by 211 526 free 213 526 will, 215 526 though 217 526 thus 219 526 prescribed 221 526 to 223 526 by 225 526 both, 227 526 chance 229 526 by 231 526 turns 233 526 rules 235 526 either,

269 526 when 271 526 I 273 526 started 275 526 at 277 526 a 279 526 sound 281 526 so 283 526 strange, 285 526 long 287 526 drawn, 289 526 and 291 526 musically 293 526 wild 295 526 and 297 526 unearthly, 299 526 that 301 526 the 303 526 ball 305 526 of 307 526 free 309 526 will 311 526 dropped 313 526 from 315 526 my 317 526 hand, 319 526 and 321 526 I 323 526 stood 325 526 gazing 327 526 up 329 526 at 331 526 the 333 526 clouds 335 526 whence 337 526 that 339 526 voice 341 526 dropped 343 526 like 345 526 a 347 526 wing. 349 526 High 351 526 aloft 353 526 in 355 526 the 357 526 cross-trees 359 526 was 361 526 that 363 526 mad 365 526 Gay-Header, 367 526 Tashtego. 369 526 His 371 526 body 373 526 was 375 526 reaching 377 526 eagerly 379 526 forward, 381 526 his 383 526 hand 385 526 stretched 387 526 out 389 526 like 391 526 a 393 526 wand, 395 526 and 397 526 at 399 526 brief 401 526 sudden 403 526 intervals 405 526 he 407 526 continued 409 526 his 411 526 cries. 413 526 To 415 526 be 417 526 sure 419 526 the 421 526 same 423 526 sound 425 526 was 427 526 that 429 526 very 431 526 moment 433 526 perhaps 435 526 being 437 526 heard 439 526 all 441 526 over 443 526 the 445 526 seas, 447 526 from 449 526 hundreds 451 526 of 453 526 whalemen's 455 526 look-outs 457 526 perched 459 526 as 461 526 high 463 526 in 465 526 the 467 526 air; 469 526 but 471 526 from 473 526 few 475 526 of 477 526 those 479 526 lungs 481 526 could 483 526 that 485 526 accustomed 487 526 old 489 526 cry 491 526 have 493 526 derived 495 526 such 497 526 a 499 526 marvellous 501 526 cadence

527 so 5 527 wildly 6 527 and 7 527 eagerly 8 527 peering 9 527 towards 10 527 the 11 527 horizon, 12 527 you 13 527 would 14 527 have 15 527 thought 16 527 him 18 527 some 19 527 prophet 20 527 or 21 527 seer 22 527 beholding 23 527 the 24 527 shadows 25 527 of 26 527 Fate, 27 527 and 28 527 by 29 527 those 30 527 wild 32 527 cries 33 527 announcing 35 527 their 36 527 coming. 37 527 "There 38 527

105 527 and 106 527 the 107 527 whales 108 527 disappeared. 109 527 "Quick, 110 527 steward!" 111 527 cried 112 527 Ahab. 113 527 "Time! 114 527 time!" 115 527 Dough-Boy 116 527 hurried 117 527 below, 118 527 glanced 120 527 at 121 527 the 122 527 watch, 123 527 and 125 527 reported 126 527 the 127 527 exact 128 527 minute 129 527 to 130 527 Ahab. 131 527 The 132 527 ship 133 527 was 134 527 now 135 527 kept 137 527 away 138 527 from 139 527 the 140 527 wind, 141 527 and 142 527 she 143 527 went 144 527 gently 145 527 rolling 146 527 before 147 527 it. 148 527 Tashtego 149 527 reporting 150 527 that 151 527 the 152 527 whales 154 527 had 156 527 gone 157 527 down 158 527 heading 159 527 to 160 527 leeward, 161 527 we 162 527 confidently 163 527 looked 164 527 to 165 527 see 166 527 them 167 527 again 168 527 directly 169 527 in 171 527 advance 172 527 of 173 527 our 174 527 bows. 175 527 For 176 527 that 177 527 singular 178 527 craft 179 527 at 180 527 times 181 527 evinced 182 527 by 183 527 the 184 527 Sperm 185 527 Whale 188 527 when, 189 527 sounding 190 527 with 191 527 his 192 527 head 193 527 in 194 527 one 195 527 direction, 196 527 he 197 527 nevertheless, 198 527 while 199 527 concealed 200 527 beneath 201 527 the 202 527 surface, 203 527 mills 205 527 round, 206 527 and 207 527 swiftly 208 527 swims 209 527 off 210 527 in 211 527 the 212 527 opposite 213 527 quarter--this 214 527 deceitfulness 215 527 of 216 527 his 218 527 could 219 527 not 220 527 now 222 527 be 223 527 in 224 527 action; 225 527 for 226 527 there 227 527 was 228 527 no 229 527 reason 230 527 to 231 527 suppose 232 527 that 233 527 the 234 527 fish 235 527 seen 236 527 by 237 527 Tashtego 239 527 had 240 527 been 241 527 in 242 527 any 243 527 way 244 527 alarmed, 245 527 or 246 527 indeed 247 527 knew 249 527 at 250 527 all 251 527 of 252 527 our 253 527 vicinity. 254 527 One 256 527 of 257 527 the 258 527 men 259 527 selected 260 527 for 261 527 shipkeepers--that 262 527 is, 263 527 those 264 527 not 265 527 appointed 266 527 to 267 527 the 268 527 boats, 269 527 by 270 527 this 271 527 time 273 527 relieved 274 527 the 275 527 Indian 276 527 at 277 527 the 278 527 main-mast 280 527 head. 281 527 The 282 527 sailors 283 527 at 284 527 the 285 527 fore 286 527 and 287 527 mizzen 288 527 had 290 527 come 291 527 down; 292 527 the 293 527 line 294 527 tubs 295 527 were 296 527 fixed 297 527 in 298 527 their 299 527 places; 300 527 the 301 527 cranes 302 527 were 303 527 thrust 304 527 out; 305 527 the 307 527 mainyard 308 527 was 309 527 backed, 311 527 and 312 527 the 313 527 three 314 527 boats 315 527 swung 316 527 over 317 527 the 318 527 sea 319 527 like 320 527 three 321 527 samphire 322 527 baskets 324 527 over 325 527 high 326 527 cliffs. 327 527 Outside 328 527 of 329 527 the 330 527 bulwarks 331 527 their 332 527 eager 333 527 crews 334 527 with 335 527 one 336 527 hand 337 527 clung 338 527 to 339 527 the 342 527 rail, 343 527 while 344 527 one 345 527 foot 346 527 was 347 527 expectantly 348 527 poised 349 527 on 350 527 the 351 527 gunwale. 352 527 So 353 527 look 354 527 the 355 527 long 356 527 line 358 527 of 359 527 man-of-war's 360 527 men 361 527 about 362 527 to 363 527 throw 364 527 themselves 365 527 on 366 527 board 367 527 an 368 527 enemy's 369 527 ship. 370 527 But 371 527 at 373 527 this 375 527 critical 376 527 instant 377 527 a 378 527 sudden 379 527 exclamation 380 527 was 381 527 heard 382 527 that 383 527 took 384 527 every 385 527 eye 386 527 from 387 527 the 388 527 whale. 389 527 With 390 527 a 392 527 start 393 527 all 394 527 glared 395 527 at 396 527 dark 397 527 Ahab, 398 527 who 399 527 was 400 527 surrounded 401 527 by 402 527 five 404 527 dusky 405 527 phantoms 406 527 that 407 527 seemed 409 527 fresh 410 527 formed 411 527 out 412 527 of 413 527 air. 414 527 CHAPTER 415 527 48 416 527 The 417 527 First 418 527 Lowering. 419 527 The 420 527 phantoms, 421 527 for 422 527 so 423 527 they 424 527 then 426 527 seemed, 427 527 were 428 527 flitting 429 527 on 430 527 the 431 527 other 432 527 side 433 527 of 435 527 the 436 527 deck, 437 527 and, 438 527 with 439 527 a 440 527 noiseless 441 527 celerity, 443 527 were 444 527 casting 445 527 loose 446 527 the 447 527 tackles 448 527 and 449 527 bands 450 527 of 451 527 the 452 527 boat 453 527 which 454 527 swung 455 527 there. 456 527 This 457 527 boat 458 527 had 460 527 always 461 527 been 462 527 deemed 463 527 one 464 527 of 466 527 the 467 527 spare 468 527 boats, 469 527 though 470 527 technically 471 527 called 472 527 the 473 527 captain's, 474 527 on 475 527 account 477 527 of 478 527 its 479 527 hanging 480 527 from 481 527 the 482 527 starboard 483 527 quarter. 484 527 The 485 527 figure 486 527 that 487 527 now 488 527 stood 489 527 by 490 527 its 491 527 bows 492 527 was 494 527 tall 495 527 and 497 527 swart, 498 527 with 499 527 one 500 527 white 501 527 tooth 502 527 evilly 503 527 protruding 504 527 from 505 527 its 506 527 steel-like 507 527 lips. 508 527 A 509 527 rumpled 511 527 Chinese 512 527 jacket 513 527 of 514 527 black 515 527 cotton 516 527 funereally 517 527 invested 518 527 him, 519 527 with 520 527 wide 521 527 black 522 527 trowsers 523 527 of 524 527 the 525 527 same 526 527 dark 1 528 stuff. 5 528 But 7 528 strangely 13 528 crowning 17 528 this 19 528 ebonness 23 528 was 25 528 a 29 528 glistening 31 528 white 35 528 plaited 37 528 turban, 41 528 the 43 528 living 47 528 hair 49 528 braided 53 528 and 59 528 coiled 61 528 round 65 528 and 67 528 round 71 528 upon 73 528 his 79 528 head. 83 528 Less 85 528 swart 89 528 in 91 528 aspect, 95 528 the 97 528 companions 101 528 of 103 528 this 107 528 figure 109 528 were 113 528 of 115 528 that 119 528 vivid, 125 528 tiger-yellow 127 528 complexion 131 528 peculiar 133 528 to 137 528 some 139 528 of 145 528 the 149 528 aboriginal 151 528 natives 155 528 of 157 528 the 161 528 Manillas;--a 163 528 race 167 528 notorious 169 528 for 173 528 a 175 528 certain 179 528 diabolism 181 528 of 185 528 subtilty, 191 528 and 193 528 by 197 528 some 199 528 honest 203 528 white 205 528 mariners 211 528 supposed 215 528 to 217 528 be 221 528 the 223 528 paid 227 528 spies 229 528 and 233 528 secret 235 528 confidential 239 528 agents 241 528 on 245 528 the 247 528 water 251 528 of 257 528 the 259 528 devil, 263 528 their 265 528 lord, 269 528 whose 271 528 counting-room 277 528 they 281 528 suppose 283 528 to 287 528 be 289 528 elsewhere. 293 528 While 295 528 yet 299 528 the 301 528 wondering 305 528 ship's 307 528 company 311 528 were 313 528 gazing 317 528 upon 323 528 these 325 528 strangers, 329 528 Ahab 331 528 cried 335 528 out 337 528 to 343 528 the 347 528 white-turbaned 349 528 old 353 528 man 355 528 at 359 528 their 361 528 head, 365 528 "All 367 528 ready 371 528 there, 373 528 Fedallah?" 377 528 "Ready," 379 528 was 383 528 the 389 528 half-hissed 391 528 reply. 395 528 "Lower 397 528 away 401 528 then; 403 528 d'ye 409 528 hear?" 413 528 shouting 415 528 across 419 528 the 421 528 deck. 425 528 "Lower 427 528 away 431 528 there, 433 528 I 437 528 say." 439 528 Such 443 528 was 445 528 the 449 528 thunder 455 528 of 457 528 his 461 528 voice, 463 528 that 467 528 spite 469 528 of 475 528 their 479 528 amazement 481 528 the 485 528 men 487 528 sprang 491 528 over 493 528 the 497 528 rail; 499 528 the 503 528 sheaves 505 528 whirled 509 528 round 511 528 in 515 528 the 521 528 blocks; 523 528 with 527 528 a 1 529 wallow, 2 529 the 3 529 three 4 529 boats 5 529 dropped 6 529 into 7 529 the 8 529 sea; 9 529 while, 10 529 with 11 529 a 12 529 dexterous, 13 529 off-handed 14 529 daring, 15 529 unknown 16 529 in 17 529 any 18 529 other 19 529 vocation, 20 529 the 21 529 sailors, 22 529 goat-like, 24 529 leaped 25 529 down 26 529 the 27 529 rolling 28 529 ship's 29 529 side 30 529 into 31 529 the 32 529 tossed 33 529 boats 34 529 below. 35 529 Hardly 36 529 had 37 529 they 38 529 pulled 39 529 out 40 529 from 41 529 under 42 529 the 43 529 ship's 44 529 lee, 45 529 when 47 529 a 48 529 fourth 49 529 keel, 50 529 coming 51 529 from 52 529 the 53 529 windward 54 529 side, 55 529 pulled 56 529 round 57 529 under 58 529 the 59 529 stern, 60 529 and 61 529 showed 62 529 the 63 529 five 64 529 strangers 65 529 rowing 66 529 Ahab, 67 529 who, 68 529 standing 70 529 erect 71 529 in 72 529 the 73 529 stern, 74 529 loudly 75 529 hailed 76 529 Starbuck, 77 529 Stubb, 78 529 and 79 529 Flask, 80 529 to 81 529 spread 82 529 themselves 83 529 widely, 84 529 so 85 529 as 86 529 to 87 529 cover 88 529 a 89 529 large 90 529 expanse 91 529 of 93 529 water. 94 529 But 95 529 with 96 529 all 97 529 their 98 529 eyes 99 529 again 100 529 riveted 101 529 upon 102 529 the 103 529 swart 104 529 Fedallah 105 529 and 106 529 his 107 529 crew, 108 529 the 109 529 inmates 110 529 of 111 529 the 112 529 other 113 529 boats 114 529 obeyed 116 529 not 117 529 the 118 529 command. 119 529 "Captain 120 529 Ahab?--" 121 529 said 122 529 Starbuck. 123 529 "Spread 124 529 yourselves," 125 529 cried 126 529 Ahab; 127 529 "give 128 529 way, 129

cried 145 529 little 146 529 King-Post, 147 529 sweeping 148 529 round 149 529 his 150 529 great 151 529 steering 152 529 oar. 153 529 "Lay 154 529 back!" 155 529 addressing 156 529 his 157 529 crew. 158 529 "There!--there!--there 159 529 again! 160 529 There 162 529 she 163 529 blows 164 529 right 165 529 ahead, 166 529 boys!--lay 167 529 back!" 168 529 "Never 169 529 heed 170 529 yonder 171 529

spouted, 137 535 seemed 138 535 their 139 535 forerunning 141 535 couriers 142 535 and 143 535 detached 144 535 flying 146 535 outriders. 147 535 All 148 535 four 149 535 boats 151 535 were 152 535 now 153 535 in 154 535 keen 156 535 pursuit 157 535 of 158 535 that 159 535 one 161 535 spot 162 535 of 163 535 troubled 164 535 water 166 535 and 167 535 air. 168 535 But 169 535 it 171 535 bade 172 535 fair 173 535 to 174 535 outstrip 176 535 them; 177 535 it 178 535 flew 179 535 on 181 535 and 182 535 on, 183 535 as 184 535 a 186 535 mass 187 535 of 188 535 interblending 189 535 bubbles 191 535 borne 192 535 down 193 535 a 194 535 rapid 196 535 stream 197 535 from 198 535 the 199 535 hills. 201 535 "Pull, 202 535 pull, 203 535 my 204 535 good 206 535 boys," 207 535 said 208 535 Starbuck, 209 535 in 211 535 the 212 535 lowest 213 535 possible 216 535 but 217 535 intensest 218 535 concentrated 219 535 whisper 221 535 to 222 535 his 223 535 men; 224 535 while 226 535 the 227 535 sharp 228 535 fixed 229 535 glance 231 535 from 232 535 his 233 535 eyes 234 535 darted 236 535 straight 237 535 ahead 238 535 of 239 535 the 241 535 bow, 242 535 almost 243 535 seemed 244 535 as 246 535 two 247 535 visible 248 535 needles 249 535 in 251 535 two 252 535 unerring 253 535 binnacle 254 535 compasses. 256 535 He 257 535 did 258 535 not 259 535 say 261 535 much 262 535 to 263 535 his 264 535 crew, 266 535 though, 267 535 nor 268 535 did 269 535 his 271 535 crew 272 535 say 273 535 anything 274 535 to 276 535 him. 277 535 Only 278 535 the 279 535 silence 281 535 of 282 535 the 283 535 boat 284 535 was 286 535 at 287 535 intervals 288 535 startlingly 289 535 pierced 291 535 by 292 535 one 293 535 of 294 535 his 296 535 peculiar 297 535 whispers, 298 535 now 299 535 harsh 301 535 with 302 535 command, 303 535 now 304 535 soft 306 535 with 307 535 entreaty. 308 535 How 309 535 different 311 535 the 312 535 loud 313 535 little 314 535 King-Post. 316 535 "Sing 317 535 out 318 535 and 319 535 say 322 535 something, 323 535 my 324 535 hearties. 326 535 Roar 327 535 and 328 535 pull, 329 535 my 331 535 thunderbolts! 332 535 Beach 333 535 me, 334 535 beach 336 535 me 337 535 on 338 535 their 339 535 black 341 535 backs, 342 535 boys; 343 535 only 344 535 do 346 535 that 347 535 for 348 535 me, 349 535 and 351 535 I'll 352 535 sign 353 535 over 354 535 to 356 535 you 357 535 my 358 535 Martha's 359 535 Vineyard 361 535 plantation, 362 535 boys; 363 535 including 364 535 wife 366 535 and 367 535 children, 368 535 boys. 369 535 Lay 371 535 me 372 535 on--lay 373 535 me 374 535 on! 376 535 O 377 535 Lord, 378 535 Lord! 379 535 but 381 535 I 382 535 shall 383 535 go 384 535 stark, 386 535 staring 387 535 mad! 388 535 See! 389 535 see 391 535 that 392 535 white 393 535 water!" 394 535 And 396 535 so 397 535 shouting, 398 535 he 399 535 pulled 401 535 his 402 535 hat 403 535 from 404 535 his 406 535 head, 407 535 and 408 535 stamped 409 535 up 411 535 and 412 535 down 413 535 on 414 535 it; 416 535 then 417 535 picking 418 535 it 419 535 up, 421 535 flirted 422 535 it 423 535 far 424 535 off 426 535 upon 427 535 the 429 535 sea; 431 535 and 432 535 finally 433 535 fell 434 535 to 436 535 rearing 437 535 and 438 535 plunging 439 535 in 441 535 the 442 535 boat's 443 535 stern 444 535 like 446 535 a 447 535 crazed 448 535 colt 449 535 from 451 535 the 452 535 prairie. 453 535 "Look 454 535 at 456 535 that 457 535 chap 458 535 now," 459 535 philosophically 461 535 drawled 462 535 Stubb, 463 535 who, 464 535 with 466 535 his 467 535 unlighted 468 535 short 469 535 pipe, 471 535 mechanically 472 535 retained 473 535 between 474 535 his 476 535 teeth, 477 535 at 478 535 a 479 535 short 481 535 distance, 482 535 followed 483 535 after--"He's 484 535 got 486 535 fits, 487 535 that 488 535 Flask 489 535 has. 491 535 Fits? 492 535 yes, 493 535 give 494 535 him 496 535 fits--that's 497 535 the 498 535 very 499 535 word--pitch 501 535 fits 502 535 into 503 535 'em. 504 535 Merrily, 506 535 merrily, 507 535 hearts-alive. 508 535 Pudding 509 535 for 511 535 supper, 512 535 you 513 535 know;--merry's 514 535 the 516 535 word. 517 535 Pull, 518 535 babes--pull, 519 535 sucklings--pull, 521 535 all. 522 535 But 523 535 what 524 535 the 526 535 devil 527 535 are 528 535 you 529 535 hurrying 531 535 about? 532 535 Softly, 533 535 softly, 534 535 and 1 536 steadily, 3 536 my 5 536 men. 7 536 Only 9 536 pull, 11 536 and 13 536 keep 15 536 pulling; 17 536 nothing 19 536 more. 21 536 Crack 23 536 all 25 536 your 27 536 backbones, 29 536 and 31 536 bite 33 536 your 35 536 knives 37 536 in 39 536 two--that's 41 536 all. 43 536 Take 45 536 it 47 536 easy--why 49 536 don't 51 536 ye 53 536 take 55 536 it 57 536 easy, 59 536 I 61 536 say, 63 536 and 65 536 burst 69 536 all 71 536 your 73 536 livers 75 536 and 77 536 lungs!" 79 536 But 81 536 what 83 536 it 85 536 was 87 536 that 89 536 inscrutable 91 536 Ahab 93 536 said 95 536 to 97 536 that 99 536 tiger-yellow 101 536 crew 103 536 of 105 536 his--these 107 536 were 109 536 words 111 536 best 113 536 omitted 115 536 here; 117 536 for 119 536 you 121 536 live 123 536 under 125 536 the 127 536 blessed 129 536 light 131 536 of 133 536 the 135 536 evangelical 137 536 land. 139 536 Only 141 536 the 143 536 infidel 145 536 sharks 147 536 in 149 536 the 151 536 audacious 153 536 seas 155 536 may 157 536 give 159 536 ear 161 536 to 163 536 such 165 536 words, 167 536 when, 169 536 with 171 536 tornado 173 536 brow, 175 536 and 177 536 eyes 179 536 of 181 536 red 183 536 murder, 185 536 and 187 536 foam-glued 189 536 lips, 191 536 Ahab 193 536 leaped 195 536 after 197 536 his 199 536 prey. 203 536 Meanwhile, 205 536 all 207 536 the 209 536 boats 211 536 tore 213 536 on. 215 536 The 217 536 repeated 219 536 specific 221 536 allusions 223 536 of 225 536 Flask 227 536 to 229 536 "that 231 536 whale," 233 536 as 235 536 he 237 536 called 239 536 the 241 536 fictitious 243 536 monster 245 536 which 247 536 he 249 536 declared 251 536 to 253 536 be 255 536 incessantly 257 536 tantalizing 259 536 his 261 536 boat's 263 536 bow 265 536 with 267 536 its 269 536 tail--these 271 536 allusions 273 536 of 275 536 his 277 536 were 279 536 at 281 536 times 283 536 so 285 536 vivid 287 536 and 289 536 life-like, 291 536 that 293 536 they 295 536 would 297 536 cause 299 536 some 301 536 one 303 536 or 305 536 two 307 536 of 309 536 his 311 536 men 313 536 to 315 536 snatch 317 536 a 319 536 fearful 321 536 look 323 536 over 325 536 the 327 536 shoulder. 329 536 But 331 536 this 333 536 was 337 536 against 339 536 all 341 536 rule; 343 536 for 345 536 the 347 536 oarsmen 349 536 must 351 536 put 353 536 out 355 536 their 357 536 eyes, 359 536 and 361 536 ram 363 536 a 365 536 skewer 367 536 through 369 536 their 371 536 necks; 373 536 usage 375 536 pronouncing 377 536 that 379 536 they 381 536 must 383 536 have 385 536 no 387 536 organs 389 536 but 391 536 ears, 393 536 and 395 536 no 397 536 limbs 399 536 but 401 536 arms, 403 536 in 405 536 these 407 536 critical 409 536 moments. 411 536 It 413 536 was 415 536 a 417 536 sight 419 536 full 421 536 of 423 536 quick 425 536 wonder 427 536 and 429 536 awe! 431 536 The 433 536 vast 435 536 swells 437 536 of 439 536 the 441 536 omnipotent 443 536 sea; 445 536 the 447 536 surging, 449 536 hollow 451 536 roar 453 536 they 455 536 made, 457 536 as 459 536 they 461 536 rolled 463 536 along 465 536 the 467 536 eight 471 536 gunwales, 473 536 like 475 536 gigantic 477 536 bowls 479 536 in 481 536 a 483 536 boundless 485 536 bowling-green; 487 536 the 489 536 brief 491 536 suspended 493 536 agony 495 536 of 497 536 the 499 536 boat, 501 536 as 503 536 it 505 536 would 507 536 tip 509 536 for 511 536 an 513 536 instant 515 536 on 517 536 the 519 536 knife-like 521 536 edge 523 536 of 525 536 the 527 536 sharper 529 536 waves, 531 536 that 533 536 almost 535 536 seemed 1 537 threatening 2 537 to 4 537 cut 5 537 it 7 537 in 8 537 two; 10 537 the 11 537 sudden 13 537 profound 14 537 dip 16 537 into 17 537 the 19 537 watery 20 537 glens 22 537 and 23 537 hollows; 25 537 the 26 537 keen 28 537 spurrings 29 537 and 31 537 goadings 32 537 to 34 537 gain 35 537 the 37 537 top 38 537 of 40 537 the 41 537 opposite 43 537 hill; 44 537 the 46 537 headlong, 47 537 sled-like 49 537 slide 50 537 down 52 537 its 53 537 other 55 537 side;--all 56 537 these, 58 537 with 59 537 the 61 537 cries 62 537 of 64 537 the 65 537 headsmen 67 537 and 68 537 harpooneers, 70 537 and 71 537 the 73 537 shuddering 74 537 gasps 76 537 of 77 537 the 79 537 oarsmen, 80 537 with 82 537 the 83 537 wondrous 85 537 sight 86 537 of 88 537 the 89 537 ivory 91 537 Pequod 92 537 bearing 94 537 down 95 537 upon 97 537 her 98 537 boats 100 537 with 101 537 outstretched 103 537 sails, 104 537 like 106 537 a 107 537 wild 109 537 hen 110 537 after 112 537 her 113 537 screaming 115 537 brood;--all 116 537 this 118 537 was 119 537 thrilling. 121 537 Not 122 537 the 124 537 raw 125 537 recruit, 127 537 marching 128 537 from 130 537 the 131 537 bosom 133 537 of 134 537 his 136 537 wife 137 537 into 139 537 the 140 537 fever 142 537 heat 143 537 of 145 537 his 146 537 first 148 537 battle; 149 537 not 151 537 the 152 537 dead 154 537 man's 155 537 ghost 157 537 encountering 158 537 the 160 537 first 161 537 unknown 163 537 phantom 164 537 in 166 537 the 167 537 other 169 537 world;--neither 170 537 of 172 537 these 173 537 can 175 537 feel 176 537 stranger 178 537 and 181 537 stronger 182 537 emotions 184 537 than 185 537 that 187 537 man 188 537 does, 190 537 who 191 537 for 193 537 the 194 537 first 196 537 time 197 537 finds 199 537 himself 200 537 pulling 202 537 into 203 537 the 205 537 charmed, 206 537 churned 208 537 circle 209 537 of 211 537 the 212 537 hunted 214 537 sperm 215 537 whale. 217 537 The 218 537 dancing 220 537 white 221 537 water 223 537 made 224 537 by 226 537 the 227 537 chase 229 537 was 230 537 now 232 537 becoming 233 537 more 235 537 and 236 537 more 238 537 visible, 239 537 owing 241 537 to 242 537 the 244 537 increasing 245 537 darkness 247 537 of 248 537 the 250 537 dun 251 537 cloud-shadows 253 537 flung 254 537 upon 256 537 the 257 537 sea. 259 537 The 260 537 jets 262 537 of 263 537 vapour 265 537 no 266 537 longer 268 537 blended, 269 537 but 271 537 tilted 272 537 everywhere 274 537 to 275 537 right 277 537 and 278 537 left; 280 537 the 281 537 whales 283 537 seemed 284 537 separating 286 537 their 287 537 wakes. 289 537 The 290 537 boats 292 537 were 293 537 pulled 295 537 more 296 537 apart; 298 537 Starbuck 299 537 giving 301 537 chase 302 537 to 304 537 three 305 537 whales 307 537 running 308 537 dead 310 537 to 311 537 leeward. 313 537 Our 314 537 sail 316 537 was 317 537 now 319 537 set, 320 537 and, 322 537 with 323 537 the 325 537 still 326 537 rising 328 537 wind, 329 537 we 331 537 rushed 332 537 along; 334 537 the 335 537 boat 337 537 going 338 537 with 340 537 such 341 537 madness 343 537 through 344 537 the 346 537 water, 347 537 that 349 537 the 350 537 lee 352 537 oars 353 537 could 355 537 scarcely 356 537 be 359 537 worked 361 537 rapidly 362 537 enough 364 537 to 365 537 escape 367 537 being 368 537 torn 370 537 from 371 537 the 373 537 row-locks. 374 537 Soon 376 537 we 377 537 were 379 537 running 380 537 through 382 537 a 383 537 suffusing 385 537 wide 386 537 veil 388 537 of 389 537 mist; 391 537 neither 392 537 ship 394 537 nor 395 537 boat 397 537 to 398 537 be 400 537 seen. 401 537 "Give 403 537 way, 404 537 men," 406 537 whispered 407 537 Starbuck, 409 537 drawing 410 537 still 412 537 further 413 537 aft 415 537 the 416 537 sheet 418 537 of 419 537 his 421 537 sail; 422 537 "there 424 537 is 425 537 time 427 537 to 428 537 kill 430 537 a 431 537 fish 433 537 yet 434 537 before 436 537 the 437 537 squall 439 537 comes. 440 537 There's 442 537 white 443 537 water 445 537 again!--close 446 537 to! 448 537 Spring!" 449 537 Soon 451 537 after, 452 537 two 454 537 cries 455 537 in 457 537 quick 458 537 succession 460 537 on 461 537 each 463 537 side 464 537 of 466 537 us 467 537 denoted 469 537 that 470 537 the 472 537 other 473 537 boats 475 537 had 476 537 got 478 537 fast; 479 537 but 481 537 hardly 482 537 were 484 537 they 485 537 overheard, 487 537 when 488 537 with 490 537 a 491 537 lightning-like 493 537 hurtling 494 537 whisper 496 537 Starbuck 497 537 said: 499 537 "Stand 500 537 up!" 502 537 and 503 537 Queequeg, 505 537 harpoon 506 537 in 508 537 hand, 509 537 sprang 511 537 to 512 537 his 514 537 feet. 515 537 Though 517 537 not 518 537 one 520 537 of 521 537 the 523 537 oarsmen 524 537 was 526 537 then 527 537 facing 529 537 the 530 537 life 532 537 and 533 537 death 535 537 peril 536 537 so 1 538 close 3 538 to 5 538 them 7 538 ahead, 9 538 yet 11 538 with 13 538 their 15 538 eyes 17 538 on 19 538 the 21 538 intense 23 538 countenance 25 538 of 27 538 the 29 538 mate 31 538 in 33 538 the 35 538 stern 37 538 of 39 538 the 41 538 boat, 43 538 they 45 538 knew 47 538 that 49 538 the 51 538 imminent 53 538 instant 55 538 had 57 538 come; 59 538 they 61 538 heard, 63 538 too, 65 538 an 67 538 enormous 69 538 wallowing 71 538 sound 73 538 as 75 538 of 77 538 fifty 79 538 elephants 81 538 stirring 83 538 in 85 538 their 87 538 litter. 89 538 Meanwhile 91 538 the 93 538 boat 95 538 was 97 538 still 99 538 booming 101 538 through 103 538 the 105 538 mist, 107 538 the 109 538 waves 111 538 curling 113 538 and 115 538 hissing 117 538 around 119 538 us 121 538 like 123 538 the 125 538 erected 127 538 crests 129 538 of 131 538 enraged 133 538 serpents. 135 538 "That's 137 538 his 139 538 hump. 141 538 THERE, 143 538 THERE, 145 538 give 147 538 it 149 538 to 151 538 him!" 153 538 whispered 155 538 Starbuck. 157 538 A 159 538 short 161 538 rushing 163 538 sound 165 538 leaped 167 538 out 169 538 of 171 538 the 173 538 boat; 175 538 it 177 538 was 179 538 the 181 538 darted 183 538 iron 185 538 of 187 538 Queequeg. 189 538 Then 191 538 all 193 538 in 195 538 one 197 538 welded 199 538 commotion 201 538 came 203 538 an 205 538 invisible 207 538 push 209 538 from 211 538 astern, 213 538 while 215 538 forward 217 538 the 219 538 boat 221 538 seemed 223 538 striking 225 538 on 227 538 a 229 538 ledge; 231 538 the 233 538 sail 235 538 collapsed 237 538 and 239 538 exploded; 241 538 a 243 538 gush 245 538 of 247 538 scalding 249 538 vapour 251 538 shot 253 538 up 255 538 near 257 538 by; 259 538 something 261 538 rolled 263 538 and 265 538 tumbled 267 538 like 271 538 an 273 538 earthquake 275 538 beneath 277 538 us. 279 538 The 281 538 whole 283 538 crew 285 538 were 287 538 half 289 538 suffocated 291 538 as 293 538 they 295 538 were 297 538 tossed 299 538 helter-skelter 301 538 into 303 538 the 305 538 white 307 538 curdling 309 538 cream 311 538 of 313 538 the 315 538 squall. 317 538 Squall, 319 538 whale, 321 538 and 323 538 harpoon 325 538 had 327 538 all 329 538 blended 331 538 together; 333 538 and 335 538 the 337 538 whale, 339 538 merely 341 538 grazed 343 538 by 345 538 the 347 538 iron, 349 538 escaped. 351 538 Though 353 538 completely 355 538 swamped, 357 538 the 359 538 boat 361 538 was 363 538 nearly 365 538 unharmed. 367 538 Swimming 369 538 round 371 538 it 373 538 we 375 538 picked 377 538 up 379 538 the 381 538 floating 383 538 oars, 385 538 and 387 538 lashing 389 538 them 391 538 across 393 538 the 395 538 gunwale, 397 538 tumbled 399 538 back 401 538 to 403 538 our 405 538 places. 407 538 There 409 538 we 411 538 sat 413 538 up 415 538 to 417 538 our 419 538 knees 421 538 in 423 538 the 425 538 sea, 427 538 the 429 538 water 431 538 covering 433 538 every 435 538 rib 437 538 and 439 538 plank, 441 538 so 443 538 that 445 538 to 447 538 our 449 538 downward 451 538 gazing 453 538 eyes 455 538 the 457 538 suspended 459 538 craft 461 538 seemed 463 538 a 465 538 coral 467 538 boat 469 538 grown 471 538 up 473 538 to 475 538 us 477 538 from 479 538 the 481 538 bottom 483 538 of 485 538 the 487 538 ocean. 489 538 The 491 538 wind 493 538 increased 495 538 to 497 538 a 499 538 howl; 501 538 the 503 538 waves 505 538 dashed 507 538 their 509 538 bucklers 511 538 together; 513 538 the 515 538 whole 517 538 squall 519 538 roared, 521 538 forked, 523 538 and 525 538 crackled 527 538 around 529 538 us 531 538 like 533 538 a 535 538 white 537 538 fire 1 539 upon 2 539 the 3 539 prairie, 4 539 in 5 539 which, 6 539 unconsumed, 8 539 we 9 539 were 10 539 burning; 12 539 immortal 13 539 in 15 539 these 16 539 jaws 17 539 of 18 539 death! 19 539 In 20 539 vain 23 539 we 24 539 hailed 25 539 the 26 539 other 27 539 boats; 29 539 as 30 539 well 31 539 roar 32 539 to 34 539 the 36 539 live 37 539 coals 38 539 down 39 539 the 40 539 chimney 41 539 of 43 539 a 45 539 flaming 46 539 furnace 47 539 as 48 539 hail 50 539 those 51 539 boats 52 539 in 53 539 that 54 539 storm. 57 539 Meanwhile 58 539 the 59 539 driving 60 539 scud, 61 539 rack, 62 539 and 64 539 mist, 65 539 grew 67 539 darker 68 539 with 69 539 the 71 539 shadows 72 539 of 73 539 night; 74 539 no 75 539 sign 76 539 of 78 539 the 79 539 ship 80 539 could 81 539 be 82 539 seen. 83 539 The 85 539 rising 86 539 sea 87 539 forbade 89 539 all 90 539 attempts 92 539 to 93 539 bale 94 539 out 95 539 the 96 539 boat. 97 539 The 100 539 oars 101 539 were 102 539 useless 103 539 as 104 539 propellers, 106 539 performing 107 539 now 108 539 the 109 539 office 111 539 of 113 539 life-preservers. 114 539 So, 115 539 cutting 116 539 the 117 539 lashing 118 539 of 120 539 the 122 539 waterproof 123 539 match 124 539 keg, 125 539 after 127 539 many 128 539 failures 129 539 Starbuck 130 539 contrived 131 539 to 134 539 ignite 135 539 the 136 539 lamp 137 539 in 138 539 the 139 539 lantern; 141 539 then 142 539 stretching 144 539 it 145 539 on 146 539 a 148 539 waif 149 539 pole, 150 539 handed 151 539 it 152 539 to 153 539 Queequeg 155 539 as 156 539 the 157 539 standard-bearer 158 539 of 159 539 this 160 539 forlorn 162 539 hope. 163 539 There, 164 539 then, 166 539 he 167 539 sat, 169 539 holding 170 539 up 171 539 that 172 539 imbecile 173 539 candle 174 539 in 177 539 the 178 539 heart 179 539 of 180 539 that 181 539 almighty 183 539 forlornness. 184 539 There, 185 539 then, 186 539 he 188 539 sat, 190 539 the 191 539 sign 192 539 and 193 539 symbol 194 539 of 195 539 a 197 539 man 199 539 without 200 539 faith, 201 539 hopelessly 202 539 holding 204 539 up 205 539 hope 206 539 in 207 539 the 208 539 midst 211 539 of 212 539 despair. 213 539 Wet, 214 539 drenched 215 539 through, 216 539 and 218 539 shivering 219 539 cold, 221 539 despairing 222 539 of 223 539 ship 225 539 or 226 539 boat, 227 539 we 228 539 lifted 229 539 up 230 539 our 232 539 eyes 233 539 as 234 539 the 235 539 dawn 236 539 came 237 539 on. 239 539 The 240 539 mist 241 539 still 243 539 spread 244 539 over 246 539 the 247 539 sea, 248 539 the 249 539 empty 250 539 lantern 251 539 lay 254 539 crushed 255 539 in 256 539 the 257 539 bottom 258 539 of 260 539 the 261 539 boat. 262 539 Suddenly 263 539 Queequeg 265 539 started 267 539 to 268 539 his 269 539 feet, 270 539 hollowing 271 539 his 272 539 hand 274 539 to 276 539 his 277 539 ear. 278 539 We 279 539 all 281 539 heard 282 539 a 283 539 faint 284 539 creaking, 285 539 as 288 539 of 289 539 ropes 290 539 and 291 539 yards 292 539 hitherto 293 539 muffled 295 539 by 296 539 the 298 539 storm. 299 539 The 300 539 sound 302 539 came 303 539 nearer 304 539 and 305 539 nearer; 306 539 the 307 539 thick 309 539 mists 310 539 were 311 539 dimly 312 539 parted 313 539 by 314 539 a 316 539 huge, 317 539 vague 318 539 form. 320 539 Affrighted, 321 539 we 323 539 all 324 539 sprang 325 539 into 326 539 the 327 539 sea 328 539 as 331 539 the 332 539 ship 333 539 at 334 539 last 335 539 loomed 337 539 into 338 539 view, 339 539 bearing 340 539 right 342 539 down 344 539 upon 345 539 us 346 539 within 347 539 a 348 539 distance 349 539 of 351 539 not 353 539 much 354 539 more 355 539 than 356 539 its 358 539 length. 359 539 Floating 360 539 on 361 539 the 362 539 waves 365 539 we 366 539 saw 367 539 the 368 539 abandoned 369 539 boat, 370 539 as 372 539 for 373 539 one 375 539 instant 376 539 it 377 539 tossed 379 539 and 380 539 gaped 381 539 beneath 382 539 the 383 539 ship's 384 539 bows 386 539 like 387 539 a 388 539 chip 389 539 at 390 539 the 391 539 base 393 539 of 394 539 a 395 539 cataract; 397 539 and 398 539 then 400 539 the 401 539 vast 402 539 hull 403 539 rolled 404 539 over 405 539 it, 408 539 and 409 539 it 410 539 was 411 539 seen 412 539 no 414 539 more 415 539 till 416 539 it 417 539 came 419 539 up 421 539 weltering 422 539 astern. 423 539 Again 424 539 we 425 539 swam 426 539 for 428 539 it, 430 539 were 431 539 dashed 432 539 against 433 539 it 435 539 by 436 539 the 437 539 seas, 438 539 and 439 539 were 442 539 at 443 539 last 444 539 taken 445 539 up 446 539 and 447 539 safely 449 539 landed 450 539 on 452 539 board. 453 539 Ere 454 539 the 456 539 squall 457 539 came 458 539 close 459 539 to, 460 539 the 461 539 other 463 539 boats 464 539 had 465 539 cut 466 539 loose 467 539 from 468 539 their 470 539 fish 471 539 and 472 539 returned 474 539 to 475 539 the 477 539 ship 478 539 in 479 539 good 480 539 time. 481 539 The 482 539 ship 485 539 had 486 539 given 487 539 us 488 539 up, 489 539 but 491 539 was 492 539 still 493 539 cruising, 494 539 if 496 539 haply 498 539 it 499 539 might 500 539 light 501 539 upon 502 539 some 503 539 token 505 539 of 507 539 our 508 539 perishing,--an 509 539 oar 510 539 or 512 539 a 513 539 lance 514 539 pole. 515 539 CHAPTER 516 539 49 519 539 The 520 539 Hyena. 521 539 There 522 539 are 523 539 certain 524 539 queer 526 539 times 527 539 and 529 539 occasions 530 539 in 531 539 this 533 539 strange 534 539 mixed 535 539 affair 536 539 we 537 539 call 538 539 life 1 540 when 7 540 a 11 540 man 13 540 takes 17 540 this 19 540 whole 23 540 universe 29 540 for 31 540 a 37 540 vast 41 540 practical 43 540 joke, 47 540 though 49 540 the 53 540 wit 59 540 thereof 61 540 he 67 540 but 71 540 dimly 73 540 discerns, 77 540 and 79 540 more 83 540 than 89 540 suspects 91 540 that 97 540 the 101 540 joke 103 540 is 107 540 at 109 540 nobody's 113 540 expense 119 540 but 121 540 his 127 540 own. 131 540 However, 133 540 nothing 137 540 dispirits, 139 540 and 143 540 nothing 149 540 seems 151 540 worth 157 540 while 161 540 disputing. 163 540 He 167 540

541 turning 130 541 to 131 541 that 132 541 worthy, 133 541 who, 134 541 buttoned 135 541 up 136 541 in 137 541 his 138 541 oil-jacket, 139 541 was 140 541 now 141 541 calmly 142 541 smoking 143 541

219 541 said 220 541 I, 221 541 turning 222 541 to 223 541 little 224 541 King-Post, 225 541 who 226 541 was 227 541 standing 228 541 close 229 541 by; 230 541 "you 231 541 are 232 541 experienced 233

541 himself 265 541 back-foremost 266 541 into 267 541 death's 268 541 jaws?" 269 541 "Can't 270 541 you 271 541 twist 272 541 that 273 541 smaller?" 274 541 said 275 541 Flask. 276 541 "Yes, 277 541 that's 278 541 the 279 541 law. 280 541 I 281 541 should 282 541 like 283 541 to 284 541 see 285 541 a 286 541 boat's 287 541 crew 288 541 backing 289 541 water 290 541 up 291 541 to 292 541 a 293 541 whale 294 541 face 295 541 foremost. 296 541 Ha, 297 541 ha! 298 541 the 299 541 whale 300 541 would 301 541 give 302 541 them 303 541 squint 304 541 for 305 541 squint, 306 541 mind 307 541 that!" 308 541 Here 309 541 then, 310 541 from 311 541 three 312 541 impartial 313 541 witnesses, 314 541 I 315 541 had 316 541 a 317 541 deliberate 318 541 statement 319 541 of 320 541 the 321 541 entire 322 541 case. 323 541 Considering, 324 541 therefore, 325 541 that 326 541 squalls 327 541 and 328 541 capsizings 329 541 in 330 541 the 331 541 water 332 541 and 333 541 consequent 334 541 bivouacks 335 541 on 336 541 the 337 541 deep, 338 541 were 339 541 matters 340 541 of 341 541 common 342 541 occurrence 343 541 in 344 541 this 345 541 kind 346 541 of 347 541 life; 348 541 considering 349 541 that 350 541 at 351 541 the 352 541 superlatively 353 541 critical 354 541 instant 355 541 of 356 541 going 357 541 on 358 541 to 359 541 the 360 541 whale 361 541 I 362 541 must 363 541 resign 364 541 my 365 541 life 366 541 into 367 541 the 368 541 hands 369 541 of 370 541 him 371 541 who 372 541 steered 373 541 the 374 541 boat--oftentimes 375 541 a 376 541 fellow 377 541 who 378 541 at 379 541 that 380 541 very 381 541 moment 382 541 is 383 541 in 384 541 his 385 541 impetuousness 386 541 upon 387 541 the 388 541 point 389 541 of 390 541 scuttling 391 541 the 392 541 craft 393 541 with 394 541 his 395 541 own 396 541 frantic 397 541 stampings; 398 541 considering 399 541 that 400 541 the 401 541 particular 402 541 disaster 403 541 to 404 541 our 405 541 own 406 541 particular 407 541 boat 408 541 was 409 541 chiefly 410 541 to 411 541 be 412 541 imputed 413 541 to 414 541 Starbuck's 415 541 driving 416 541 on 417 541 to 418 541 his 419 541 whale 420 541 almost 421 541 in 422 541 the 423 541 teeth 424 541 of 425 541 a 426 541 squall, 427 541 and 428 541 considering 429 541 that 430 541 Starbuck, 431 541 notwithstanding, 432 541 was 433 541 famous 434 541 for 435 541 his 436 541 great 437 541 heedfulness 438 541 in 439 541 the 440 541 fishery; 441 541 considering 442 541 that 443 541 I 444 541 belonged 445 541 to 446 541 this 447 541 uncommonly 448 541 prudent 449 541 Starbuck's 450 541 boat; 451 541 and 452 541 finally 453 541 considering 454 541 in 455 541 what 456 541 a 457 541 devil's 458 541 chase 459 541 I 460 541 was 461 541 implicated, 462 541 touching 463 541 the 464 541 White 465 541 Whale: 466 541 taking 467 541 all 468 541 things 469 541 together, 470 541 I 471 541 say, 472 541 I 473 541 thought 474 541 I 475 541 might 476 541 as 477 541 well 478 541 go 479 541 below 480 541 and 481 541 make 482 541 a 483 541 rough 484 541 draft 485 541 of 486 541 my 487 541 will. 488 541 "Queequeg," 489 541 said 490 541 I, 491 541 "come 492 541 along, 493 541 you 494 541 shall 495 541 be 496 541 my 497 541 lawyer, 498 541 executor, 499 541 and 500 541 legatee." 501 541 It 502 541 may 503 541 seem 504 541 strange 505 541 that 506 541 of 507 541 all 508 541 men 509 541 sailors 510 541 should 511 541 be 512 541 tinkering 513 541 at 514 541 their 515 541 last 516 541 wills 517 541 and 518 541 testaments, 519 541 but 520 541 there 521 541 are 522 541 no 523 541 people 524 541 in 525 541 the 526 541 world 527 541 more 528 541 fond 529 541 of 530 541 that 531 541 diversion. 532 541 This 533 541 was 534 541 the 535 541 fourth 536 541 time 537 541 in 538 541 my 539 541 nautical 540 541 life 1 542 that 3 542 I 5 542 had 7 542 done 9 542 the 11 542 same 13 542 thing. 15 542 After 17 542 the 19 542 ceremony 21 542 was 23 542 concluded 25 542 upon 27 542 the 29 542 present 31 542 occasion, 33 542 I 35 542 felt 37 542 all 39 542 the 41 542 easier; 43 542 a 45 542 stone 47 542 was 49 542 rolled 51 542 away 53 542 from 55 542 my 57 542 heart. 59 542 Besides, 61 542 all 63 542 the 65 542 days 67 542 I 69 542 should 71 542 now 73 542 live 75 542 would 77 542 be 79 542 as 81 542 good 83 542 as 85 542 the 87 542 days 89 542 that 91 542 Lazarus 93 542 lived 95 542 after 97 542 his 99 542 resurrection; 101 542 a 103 542 supplementary 105 542 clean 107 542 gain 109 542 of 111 542 so 113 542 many 115 542 months 117 542 or 119 542 weeks 121 542 as 123 542 the 125 542 case 127 542 might 129 542 be. 131 542 I 133 542 survived 135 542 myself; 137 542 my 139 542 death 141 542 and 143 542 burial 145 542 were 147 542 locked 149 542 up 151 542 in 153 542 my 155 542 chest. 157 542 I 159 542 looked 161 542 round 163 542 me 165 542 tranquilly 167 542 and 169 542 contentedly, 171 542 like 173 542 a 175 542 quiet 177 542 ghost 179 542 with 181 542 a 183 542 clean 185 542 conscience 187 542 sitting 189 542 inside 191 542 the 193 542 bars 195 542 of 197 542 a 199 542 snug 201 542 family 203 542 vault. 205 542 Now 207 542 then, 209 542 thought 211 542 I, 213 542 unconsciously 215 542 rolling 217 542 up 219 542 the 221 542 sleeves 223 542 of 225 542 my 227 542 frock, 229 542 here 231 542 goes 233 542 for 235 542 a 237 542 cool, 239 542 collected 241 542 dive 243 542 at 245 542 death 247 542 and 249 542 destruction, 251 542 and 253 542 the 255 542 devil 257 542 fetch 259 542 the 261 542 hindmost. 263 542 CHAPTER 265 542 50 267 542 Ahab's 269 542 Boat 273

303 542 one 305 542 leg 307 542 you 309 542 would 311 542 not 313 542 catch 315 542 me 317 542 in 319 542 a 321 542 boat, 323 542 unless 325 542 maybe 327 542 to 329 542 stop 331 542 the 333 542 plug-hole 335 542 with 337 542 my 339 542 timber 341 542 toe. 343 542 Oh! 345 542 he's 347 542 a 349 542 wonderful 351 542 old 353 542 man!" 355 542 "I 357 542 don't 359 542 think 361 542 it 363 542 so 365 542 strange, 367 542 after 369 542 all, 371 542 on 373 542 that 375 542 account," 377 542 said 379 542 Flask. 381 542 "If 383 542 his 385 542 leg 387 542 were 389 542 off 391 542 at 393 542 the

542 one 427 542 knee, 429 542 and 431 542 good 433 542 part 435 542 of 437 542 the 439 542 other 441 542 left, 443 542 you 445 542 know." 447 542 "I 449 542 don't 451 542 know 453 542 that, 455 542 my 457 542 little 459 542 man; 461 542 I 463 542 never 465 542 yet 467 542 saw 469 542 him 471 542 kneel." 473 542 Among 475 542 whale-wise 477 542 people 479 542 it 481 542 has 483 542 often 485 542 been 487 542 argued 489 542 whether, 491 542 considering 493 542 the 495 542 paramount 497 542 importance 499 542 of 501 542 his 503 542 life 505 542 to 507 542 the 509 542 success 511 542 of 513 542 the 515 542 voyage, 517 542 it 519 542 is 521 542 right 523 542 for 525 542 a 527 542 whaling 529 542 captain 531 542 to 533 542 jeopardize 535 542 that 537 542 life 539 542 in 541 542 the 1 543 active 2 543 perils 4 543 of 5 543 the 7 543 chase. 8 543 So 10 543 Tamerlane's 11 543 soldiers 13 543 often 14 543 argued 16 543 with 17 543 tears 19 543 in 20 543 their 22 543 eyes, 23 543 whether 25 543 that 26 543 invaluable 28 543 life 29 543 of 31 543 his 32 543 ought 34 543 to 35 543 be 37 543 carried 38 543 into 40 543 the 41 543 thickest 43 543 of 44 543 the 46 543 fight. 47 543 But 49 543 with 50 543 Ahab 52 543 the 53 543 question 55 543 assumed 56 543 a 58 543 modified 59 543 aspect. 61 543 Considering 62 543 that 64 543 with 65 543 two 67 543 legs 68 543 man 70 543 is 71 543 but 73 543 a 74 543 hobbling 76 543 wight 77 543 in 79 543 all 80 543 times 82 543 of 83 543 danger; 85 543 considering 86 543 that 88 543 the 89 543 pursuit 91 543 of 92 543 whales 94 543 is 95 543 always 97 543 under 98 543 great 100 543 and 101 543 extraordinary 103 543 difficulties; 104 543 that 106 543 every 107 543 individual 109 543 moment, 110 543 indeed, 112 543 then 113 543 comprises 115 543 a 116 543 peril; 118 543 under 119 543 these 121 543 circumstances 122 543 is 124 543 it 125 543 wise 127 543 for 128 543 any 130 543 maimed 131 543 man 133 543 to 134 543 enter 136 543 a 137 543 whale-boat 139 543 in 140 543 the 142 543 hunt? 143 543 As 145 543 a 146 543 general 148 543 thing, 149 543 the 151 543 joint-owners 152 543 of 154 543 the 155 543 Pequod 157 543 must 158 543 have 160 543 plainly 161 543 thought 163 543 not. 164 543 Ahab 166 543 well 167 543 knew 169 543 that 170 543 although 172 543 his 173 543 friends 175 543 at 176 543 home 178 543 would 179 543 think 182 543 little 184 543 of 185 543 his 187 543 entering 188 543 a 190 543 boat 191 543 in 193 543 certain 194 543 comparatively 196 543 harmless 197 543 vicissitudes 199 543 of 200 543 the 202 543 chase, 203 543 for 205 543 the 206 543 sake 208 543 of 209 543 being 211 543 near 212 543 the 214 543 scene 215 543 of 217 543 action 218 543 and 220 543 giving 221 543 his 223 543 orders 224 543 in 226 543 person, 227 543 yet 229 543 for 230 543 Captain 232 543 Ahab 233 543 to 235 543 have 236 543 a 238 543 boat 239 543 actually 241 543 apportioned 242 543 to 244 543 him 245 543 as 247 543 a 248 543 regular 250 543 headsman 251 543 in 253 543 the 254 543 hunt--above 256 543 all 257 543 for 259 543 Captain 260 543 Ahab 262 543 to 263 543 be 265 543 supplied 266 543 with 268 543 five 269 543 extra 271 543 men, 272 543 as 274 543 that 275 543 same 277 543 boat's 278 543 crew, 280 543 he 281 543 well 283 543 knew 284 543 that 286 543 such 287 543 generous 289 543 conceits 290 543 never 292 543 entered 293 543 the 295 543 heads 296 543 of 298 543 the 299 543 owners 301 543 of 302 543 the 304 543 Pequod. 305 543 Therefore 307 543 he 308 543 had 310 543 not 311 543 solicited 313 543 a 314 543 boat's 316 543 crew 317 543 from 319 543 them, 320 543 nor 322 543 had 323 543 he 325 543 in 326 543 any 328 543 way 329 543 hinted 331 543 his 332 543 desires 334 543 on 335 543 that 337 543 head. 338 543 Nevertheless 340 543 he 341 543 had 343 543 taken 344 543 private 346 543 measures 347 543 of 349 543 his 350 543 own 352 543 touching 353 543 all 355 543 that 356 543 matter. 358 543 Until 359 543 Cabaco's 361 543 published 364 543 discovery, 365 543 the 367 543 sailors 368 543 had 370 543 little 371 543 foreseen 373 543 it, 374 543 though 376 543 to 377 543 be 379 543 sure 380 543 when, 382 543 after 383 543 being 385 543 a 386 543 little 388 543 while 389 543 out 391 543 of 392 543 port, 394 543 all 395 543 hands 397 543 had 398 543 concluded 400 543 the 401 543 customary 403 543 business 404 543 of 406 543 fitting 407 543 the 409 543 whaleboats 410 543 for 412 543 service; 413 543 when 415 543 some 416 543 time 418 543 after 419 543 this 421 543 Ahab 422 543 was 424 543 now 425 543 and 427 543 then 428 543 found 430 543 bestirring 431 543 himself 433 543 in 434 543 the 436 543 matter 437 543 of 439 543 making 440 543 thole-pins 442 543 with 443 543 his 445 543 own 446 543 hands 448 543 for 449 543 what 451 543 was 452 543 thought 454 543 to 455 543 be 457 543 one 458 543 of 460 543 the 461 543 spare 463 543 boats, 464 543 and 466 543 even 467 543 solicitously 469 543 cutting 470 543 the 472 543 small 473 543 wooden 475 543 skewers, 476 543 which 478 543 when 479 543 the 481 543 line 482 543 is 484 543 running 485 543 out 487 543 are 488 543 pinned 490 543 over 491 543 the 493 543 groove 494 543 in 496 543 the 497 543 bow: 499 543 when 500 543 all 502 543 this 503 543 was 505 543 observed 506 543 in 508 543 him, 509 543 and 511 543 particularly 512 543 his 514 543 solicitude 515 543 in 517 543 having 518 543 an 520 543 extra 521 543 coat 523 543 of 524 543 sheathing 526 543 in 527 543 the 529 543 bottom 530 543 of 532 543 the 533 543 boat, 535 543 as 536 543 if 538 543 to 539 543 make 541 543 it 542 543 better 1 544 withstand 3 544 the 5 544 pointed 7 544 pressure 9 544 of 11 544 his 13 544 ivory 15 544 limb; 19 544 and 21 544 also 23 544 the 25 544 anxiety 27 544 he 29 544 evinced 31 544 in 33 544 exactly 35 544 shaping 37 544 the 39 544 thigh 41 544 board, 43 544 or 45 544 clumsy 47 544 cleat, 49 544 as 53 544 it 55 544 is 57 544 sometimes 59 544 called, 61 544 the 63 544 horizontal 65 544 piece 67 544 in 69 544 the 71 544 boat's 73 544 bow 75 544 for 77 544 bracing 79 544 the 81 544 knee 83 544 against 87 544 in 89 544 darting 91 544 or 93 544 stabbing 95 544 at 97 544 the 99 544 whale; 101 544 when 103 544 it 105 544 was 107 544 observed 109 544 how 111 544 often 113 544 he 115 544 stood 117 544 up 121 544 in 123 544 that 125 544 boat 127 544 with 129 544 his 131 544 solitary 133 544 knee 135 544 fixed 137 544 in 139 544 the 141 544 semi-circular 143 544 depression 145 544 in 147 544 the 149 544 cleat, 151 544 and 155 544 with 157 544 the 159 544 carpenter's 161 544 chisel 163 544 gouged 165 544 out 167 544 a 169 544 little 171 544 here 173 544 and 175 544 straightened 177 544 it 179 544 a 181 544 little 183 544 there; 185 544 all 189 544 these 191 544 things, 193 544 I 195 544 say, 197 544 had 199 544 awakened 201 544 much 203 544 interest 205 544 and 207 544 curiosity 209 544 at 211 544 the 213 544 time. 215 544 But 217 544 almost 219 544 everybody 223 544 supposed 225 544 that 227 544 this 229 544 particular 231 544 preparative 233 544 heedfulness 235 544 in 237 544 Ahab 239 544 must 241 544 only 243 544 be 245 544 with 247 544 a 249 544 view 251 544 to 253 544 the 257 544 ultimate 259 544 chase 261 544 of 263 544 Moby 265 544 Dick; 267 544 for 269 544 he 271 544 had 273 544 already 275 544 revealed 277 544 his 279 544 intention 281 544 to 283 544 hunt 285 544 that 287 544 mortal 291 544 monster 293 544 in 295 544 person. 297 544 But 299 544 such 301 544 a 303 544 supposition 305 544 did 307 544 by 309 544 no 311 544 means 313 544 involve 315 544 the 317 544 remotest 319 544 suspicion 321 544 as 325 544 to 327 544 any 329 544 boat's 331 544 crew 333 544 being 335 544 assigned 337 544 to 339 544 that 341 544 boat. 343 544 Now, 345 544 with 347 544 the 349 544 subordinate 351 544 phantoms, 353 544 what 355 544 wonder 359 544 remained 361 544 soon 363 544 waned 365 544 away; 367 544 for 369 544 in 371 544 a 373 544 whaler 375 544 wonders 377 544 soon 379 544 wane. 381 544 Besides, 383 544 now 385 544 and 387 544 then 389 544 such 393 544 unaccountable 395 544 odds 397 544 and 399 544 ends 401 544 of 403 544 strange 405 544 nations 407 544 come 409 544 up 411 544 from 413 544 the 415 544 unknown 417 544 nooks 419 544 and 421 544 ash-holes 423 544 of 427 544 the 429 544 earth 431 544 to 433 544 man 435 544 these 437 544 floating 439 544 outlaws 441 544 of 443 544 whalers; 445 544 and 447 544 the 449 544 ships 451 544 themselves 453 544 often 455 544 pick 457 544 up 461 544 such 463 544 queer 465 544 castaway 467 544 creatures 469 544 found 471 544 tossing 473 544 about 475 544 the 477 544 open 479 544 sea 481 544 on 483 544 planks, 485 544 bits 487 544 of 489 544 wreck, 491 544 oars, 495 544 whaleboats, 497 544 canoes, 499 544 blown-off 501 544 Japanese 503 544 junks, 505 544 and 507 544 what 509 544 not; 511 544 that 513 544 Beelzebub 515 544 himself 517 544 might 519 544 climb 521 544 up 523 544 the 525 544 side 529 544 and 531 544 step 533 544 down 535 544 into 537 544 the 539 544 cabin 541 544 to 543 544 chat 1 545 with 2 545 the 3 545 captain, 4 545 and 6 545 it 7 545 would 8 545 not 9 545 create 11 545 any 12 545 unsubduable 13 545 excitement 14 545 in 16 545 the 17 545 forecastle. 18 545 But 19 545 be 21 545 all 22 545 this 23 545 as 24 545 it 26 545 may, 27 545 certain 28 545 it 29 545 is 31 545 that 32 545 while 33 545 the 34 545 subordinate 36 545 phantoms 37 545 soon 38 545 found 39 545 their 41 545 place 42 545 among 43 545 the 44 545 crew, 46 545 though 47 545 still 48 545 as 49 545 it 51 545 were 52 545 somehow 53 545 distinct 54 545 from 56 545 them, 57 545 yet 58 545 that 59 545 hair-turbaned 61 545 Fedallah 62 545 remained 63 545 a 64 545 muffled 66 545 mystery 67 545 to 68 545 the 69 545 last. 71 545 Whence 72 545 he 73 545 came 74 545 in 76 545 a 77 545 mannerly 78 545 world 79 545 like 81 545 this, 82 545 by 83 545 what 84 545 sort 86 545 of 87 545 unaccountable 88 545 tie 89 545 he 91 545 soon 92 545 evinced 93 545 himself 94 545 to 96 545 be 97 545 linked 98 545 with 99 545 Ahab's 101 545 peculiar 102 545 fortunes; 103 545 nay, 104 545 so 106 545 far 107 545 as 108 545 to 111 545 have 112 545 some 113 545 sort 114 545 of 116 545 a 117 545 half-hinted 118 545 influence; 119 545 Heaven 121 545 knows, 122 545 but 123 545 it 124 545 might 126 545 have 127 545 been 128 545 even 129 545 authority 131 545 over 132 545 him; 133 545 all 134 545 this 136 545 none 137 545 knew. 138 545 But 139 545 one 141 545 cannot 142 545 sustain 143 545 an 144 545 indifferent 146 545 air 147 545 concerning 148 545 Fedallah. 149 545 He 151 545 was 152 545 such 153 545 a 154 545 creature 156 545 as 157 545 civilized, 158 545 domestic 159 545 people 161 545 in 162 545 the 163 545 temperate 164 545 zone 166 545 only 167 545 see 168 545 in 169 545 their 171 545 dreams, 172 545 and 173 545 that 174 545 but 176 545 dimly; 177 545 but 178 545 the 179 545 like 181 545 of 182 545 whom 183 545 now 184 545 and 186 545 then 187 545 glide 188 545 among 189 545 the 191 545 unchanging 192 545 Asiatic 193 545 communities, 194 545 especially 196 545 the 197 545 Oriental 198 545 isles 199 545 to 201 545 the 202 545 east 203 545 of 204 545 the 206 545 continent--those 207 545 insulated, 208 545 immemorial, 209 545 unalterable 211 545 countries, 212 545 which 213 545 even 214 545 in 216 545 these 217 545 modern 219 545 days 221 545 still 222 545 preserve 223 545 much 224 545 of 226 545 the 227 545 ghostly 228 545 aboriginalness 229 545 of 231 545 earth's 232 545 primal 233 545 generations, 234 545 when 236 545 the 237 545 memory 238 545 of 239 545 the 241 545 first 242 545 man 243 545 was 244 545 a 246 545 distinct 247 545 recollection, 248 545 and 249 545 all 251 545 men 252 545 his 253 545 descendants, 254 545 unknowing 256 545 whence 257 545 he 258 545 came, 259 545 eyed 261 545 each 262 545 other

Helena. 391 545 It 392 545 was 393 545 while 394 545 gliding 396 545 through 397 545 these 398 545 latter 399 545 waters 401 545 that 402 545 one 403 545 serene 404 545 and 406 545 moonlight 407 545 night, 408 545 when 409 545 all 411 545 the 412 545 waves 413 545 rolled 414 545 by 416 545 like 417 545 scrolls 418 545 of 419 545 silver; 421 545 and, 422 545 by 423 545 their 424 545 soft, 426 545 suffusing 427 545 seethings, 428 545 made 429 545 what 431 545 seemed 432 545 a 433 545 silvery 434 545 silence, 437 545 not 438 545 a 439 545 solitude; 441 545 on 442 545 such 443 545 a 444 545 silent 446 545 night 447 545 a 448 545 silvery 449 545 jet 451 545 was 452 545 seen 453 545 far 454 545 in 456 545 advance 457 545 of 458 545 the 459 545 white 461 545 bubbles 462 545 at 463 545 the

god 483 545 uprising 484 545 from 486 545 the 487 545 sea. 488 545 Fedallah 489 545 first 491 545 descried 492 545 this 493 545 jet. 494 545 For 496 545 of 497 545 these 498 545 moonlight 499 545

there, 519 545 with 521 545 the 522 545 same 523 545 precision 524 545 as 526 545 if 527 545 it 528 545 had 529 545 been 531 545 day. 532 545 And 533 545 yet, 534 545 though 536 545 herds 537 545 of 538 545 whales 539 545 were 541 545 seen 542 545 by 543 545 night, 544 545 not 1 546 one 5 546 whaleman 11 546 in 17 546 a 19 546 hundred 23 546 would 25 546 venture 29 546 a 31 546 lowering 37 546

151 546 when, 155 546 after 157 546 spending 163 546 his 167 546 uniform 173 546 interval 179 546 there 181 546 for 185 546 several 187 546 successive 191 546 nights 193 546 without 197 546 uttering 199 546 a 205 546 single 209 546 sound; 211 546 when, 215 546 after 223 546 all 227 546 this 229 546 silence, 233 546 his 235 546 unearthly 239 546 voice 241 546 was 251 546 heard 253 546 announcing 257 546 that 263 546 silvery, 265 546 moon-lit 269 546 jet, 271 546 every 275 546 reclining 277 546 mariner 281 546 started 283 546 to 289 546 his 293 546 feet 295 546 as 305 546 if 307 546 some 311 546 winged 313 546 spirit 317 546 had 319 546 lighted 323 546 in 331 546 the 335 546 rigging, 337 546 and 341 546 hailed 347 546 the 349 546 mortal 353 546 crew. 355 546 "There 359 546 she 361 546 blows!" 365 546 Had 367 546 the 373 546 trump 379 546 of 383 546 judgment 389 546 blown, 391 546 they 395 546 could 397 546 not 401 546 have 407 546 quivered 409 546 more; 415 546 yet 419 546 still 421 546 they 425 546 felt 431 546 no 433 546 terror; 437 546 rather 439 546 pleasure. 443 546 For 445 546 though 449 546 it 451 546 was 457 546 a 461 546 most 463 546 unwonted 467 546 hour, 473 546 yet 475 546 so 479 546 impressive 485 546 was 487 546 the 491 546 cry, 493 546 and 499 546 so 503 546 deliriously 505 546 exciting, 509 546 that 515 546 almost 517 546 every 521 546 soul 523 546 on 527 546 board 529 546 instinctively 535 546 desired 541 546 a 545 546 lowering. 1 547 Walking 2 547 the 3 547 deck 4 547 with 5 547 quick, 6 547 side-lunging 7 547 strides, 8 547 Ahab 9 547 commanded 10 547 the 11 547 t'gallant 12 547 sails 13 547 and 14 547 royals 15 547 to 16 547 be 17 547 set, 18 547 and 19 547 every 20 547 stunsail 21 547 spread. 22 547 The 23 547 best 24 547 man 25 547 in 26 547 the 27 547 ship 28 547 must 29 547 take 30 547 the 31 547 helm. 32 547 Then, 33 547 with 34 547 every 35 547 mast-head 36 547 manned, 37 547 the 38 547 piled-up 39 547 craft 40 547 rolled 41 547 down 42 547 before 43 547 the 44 547 wind. 45 547 The 46 547 strange, 47 547 upheaving, 48 547 lifting 49 547 tendency 50 547 of 51 547 the 52 547 taffrail 53 547 breeze 54 547 filling 55 547 the 56 547 hollows 57 547 of 58 547 so 59 547 many 60 547 sails, 61 547 made 62 547 the 63 547 buoyant, 64 547 hovering 65 547 deck 66 547 to 67 547 feel 68 547 like 69 547 air 70 547 beneath 71 547 the 72 547 feet; 73 547 while 74 547 still 75 547 she 76 547 rushed 77 547 along, 78 547 as 79 547 if 80 547 two 81 547 antagonistic 82 547 influences 83 547 were 84 547 struggling 85 547 in 86 547 her--one 87 547 to 88 547 mount 89 547 direct 90 547 to 91 547 heaven, 92 547 the 93 547 other 94 547 to 95 547 drive 96 547 yawingly 97 547 to 98 547 some 99 547 horizontal 100 547 goal. 101 547 And 102 547 had 103 547 you 104 547 watched 105 547 Ahab's 106 547 face 107 547 that 108 547 night, 109 547 you 110 547 would 111 547 have 112 547 thought 113 547 that 114 547 in 115 547 him 116 547 also 117 547 two 118 547 different 119 547 things 120 547 were 121 547 warring. 122 547 While 123 547 his 124 547 one 125 547 live 126 547 leg 127 547 made 128 547 lively 129 547 echoes 130 547 along 131 547 the 132 547 deck, 133 547 every 134 547 stroke 135 547 of 136 547 his 137 547 dead 138 547 limb 139 547 sounded 140 547 like 141 547 a 142 547 coffin-tap. 143 547 On 144 547 life 145 547 and 146 547 death 147 547 this 148 547 old 149 547 man 150 547 walked. 151 547 But 152 547 though 153 547 the 154 547 ship 155 547 so 156 547 swiftly 157 547 sped, 158 547 and 159 547 though 160 547 from 161 547 every 162 547 eye, 163 547 like 164 547 arrows, 165 547 the 166 547 eager 167 547 glances 168 547 shot, 169 547 yet 170 547 the 171 547 silvery 172 547 jet 173 547 was 174 547 no 175 547 more 176 547 seen 177 547 that 178 547 night. 179 547 Every 180 547 sailor 181 547 swore 182 547 he 183 547 saw 184 547 it 185 547 once, 186 547 but 187 547 not 188 547 a 189 547 second 190 547 time. 191 547 This 192 547 midnight-spout 193 547 had 194 547 almost 195 547 grown 196 547 a 197 547 forgotten 198 547 thing, 199 547 when, 200 547 some 201 547 days 202 547 after, 203 547 lo! 204 547 at 205 547 the 206 547 same 207 547 silent 208 547 hour, 209 547 it 210 547 was 211 547 again 212 547 announced: 213 547 again 214 547 it 215 547 was 216 547 descried 217 547 by 218 547 all; 219 547 but 220 547 upon 221 547 making 222 547 sail 223 547 to 224 547 overtake 225 547 it, 226 547 once 227 547 more 228 547 it 229 547 disappeared 230 547 as 231 547 if 232 547 it 233 547 had 234 547 never 235 547 been. 236 547 And 237 547 so 238 547 it 239 547 served 240 547 us 241 547 night 242 547 after 243 547 night, 244 547 till 245 547 no 246 547 one 247 547 heeded 248 547 it 249 547 but 250 547 to 251 547 wonder 252 547 at 253 547 it. 254 547 Mysteriously 255 547 jetted 256 547 into 257 547 the 258 547 clear 259 547 moonlight, 260 547 or 261 547 starlight, 262 547 as 263 547 the 264 547 case 265 547 might 266 547 be; 267 547 disappearing 268 547 again 269 547 for 270 547 one 271 547 whole 272 547 day, 273 547 or 274 547 two 275 547 days, 276 547 or 277 547 three; 278 547 and 279 547 somehow 280 547 seeming 281 547 at 282 547 every 283 547 distinct 284 547 repetition 285 547 to 286 547 be 287 547 advancing 288 547 still 289 547 further 290 547 and 291 547 further 292 547 in 293 547 our 294 547 van, 295 547 this 296 547 solitary 297 547 jet 298 547 seemed 299 547 for 300 547 ever 301 547 alluring 302 547 us 303 547 on. 304 547 Nor 305 547 with 306 547 the 307 547 immemorial 308 547 superstition 309 547 of 310 547 their 311 547 race, 312 547 and 313 547 in 314 547 accordance 315 547 with 316 547 the 317 547 preternaturalness, 318 547 as 319 547 it 320 547 seemed, 321 547 which 322 547 in 323 547 many 324 547 things 325 547 invested 326 547 the 327 547 Pequod, 328 547 were 329 547 there 330 547 wanting 331 547 some 332 547 of 333 547 the 334 547 seamen 335 547 who 336 547 swore 337 547 that 338 547 whenever 339 547 and 340 547 wherever 341 547 descried; 342 547 at 343 547 however 344 547 remote 345 547 times, 346 547 or 347 547 in 348 547 however 349 547 far 350 547 apart 351 547 latitudes 352 547 and 353 547 longitudes, 354 547 that 355 547 unnearable 356 547 spout 357 547 was 358 547 cast 359 547 by 360 547 one 361 547 self-same 362 547 whale; 363 547 and 364 547 that 365 547 whale, 366 547 Moby 367 547 Dick. 368 547 For 369 547 a 370 547 time, 371 547 there 372 547 reigned, 373 547 too, 374 547 a 375 547 sense 376 547 of 377 547 peculiar 378 547 dread 379 547 at 380 547 this 381 547 flitting 382 547 apparition, 383 547 as 384 547 if 385 547 it 386 547 were 387 547 treacherously 388 547 beckoning 389 547 us 390 547 on 391 547 and 392 547 on, 393 547 in 394 547 order 395 547 that 396 547 the 397 547 monster 398 547 might 399 547 turn 400 547 round 401 547 upon 402 547 us, 403 547 and 404 547 rend 405 547 us 406 547 at 407 547 last 408 547 in 409 547 the 410 547 remotest 411 547 and 412 547 most 413 547 savage 414 547 seas. 415 547 These 416 547 temporary 417 547 apprehensions, 418 547 so 419 547 vague 420 547 but 421 547 so 422 547 awful, 423 547 derived 424 547 a 425 547 wondrous 426 547 potency 427 547 from 428 547 the 429 547 contrasting 430 547 serenity 431 547 of 432 547 the 433 547 weather, 434 547 in 435 547 which, 436 547 beneath 437 547 all 438 547 its 439 547 blue 440 547 blandness, 441 547 some 442 547 thought 443 547 there 444 547 lurked 445 547 a 446 547 devilish 447 547 charm, 448 547 as 449 547 for 450 547 days 451 547 and 452 547 days 453 547 we 454 547 voyaged 455 547 along, 456 547 through 457 547 seas 458 547 so 459 547 wearily, 460 547 lonesomely 461 547 mild, 462 547 that 463 547 all 464 547 space, 465 547 in 466 547 repugnance 467 547 to 468 547 our 469 547 vengeful 470 547 errand, 471 547 seemed 472 547 vacating 473 547 itself 474 547 of 475 547 life 476 547 before 477 547 our 478 547 urn-like 479 547 prow. 480 547 But, 481 547 at 482 547 last, 483 547 when 484 547 turning 485 547 to 486 547 the 487 547 eastward, 488 547 the 489 547 Cape 490 547 winds 491 547 began 492 547 howling 493 547 around 494 547 us, 495 547 and 496 547 we 497 547 rose 498 547 and 499 547 fell 500 547 upon 501 547 the 502 547 long, 503 547 troubled 504 547 seas 505 547 that 506 547 are 507 547 there; 508 547 when 509 547 the 510 547 ivory-tusked 511 547 Pequod 512 547 sharply 513 547 bowed 514 547 to 515 547 the 516 547 blast, 517 547 and 518 547 gored 519 547 the 520 547 dark 521 547 waves 522 547 in 523 547 her 524 547 madness, 525 547 till, 526 547 like 527 547 showers 528 547 of 529 547 silver 530 547 chips, 531 547 the 532 547 foam-flakes 533 547 flew 534 547 over 535 547 her 536 547 bulwarks; 537 547 then 538 547 all 539 547 this 540 547 desolate 541 547 vacuity 542 547 of 543 547 life 544 547 went 545 547 away, 546 547 but 1 548 gave 3 548 place 5 548 to 7 548 sights 9 548 more 11 548 dismal 13 548 than 15 548 before. 17 548 Close 19 548 to 21 548 our 23 548 bows, 25 548 strange 27 548 forms 29 548 in 31 548 the 33 548 water 35 548 darted 37 548 hither 39 548 and 41 548 thither 43 548 before 45 548 us; 47 548 while 49 548 thick 51 548 in 53 548 our 55 548 rear 57 548 flew 59 548 the 61 548 inscrutable 63 548 sea-ravens. 65 548 And 67 548 every 69 548 morning, 71 548 perched 73 548 on 75 548 our 77 548 stays, 79 548 rows 81 548 of 83 548 these 85 548 birds 87 548 were 89 548 seen; 91 548 and 93 548 spite 95 548 of 97 548 our 99 548 hootings, 101 548 for 103 548 a 105 548 long 107 548 time 109 548 obstinately 111 548 clung 113 548 to 115 548 the 117 548 hemp, 119 548 as 121 548 though 123 548 they 125 548 deemed 127 548 our 129 548 ship 131 548 some 133 548 drifting, 135 548 uninhabited 139 548 craft; 141 548 a 143 548 thing 145 548 appointed 147 548 to 149 548 desolation, 151 548 and 153 548 therefore 155 548 fit 157 548 roosting-place 159 548 for 161 548 their 163 548 homeless 165 548 selves. 167 548 And 169 548 heaved 171 548 and 173 548 heaved, 175 548 still 177 548 unrestingly 179 548 heaved 181 548 the 183 548 black 185 548 sea, 187 548 as 189 548 if 191 548 its 193 548 vast 195 548 tides 197 548 were 199 548 a 201 548 conscience; 203 548 and 205 548 the 207 548 great 209 548 mundane 211 548 soul 213 548 were 215 548 in 217 548 anguish 219 548 and 221 548 remorse 223 548 for 225 548 the 227 548 long 229 548 sin 231 548 and 233 548 suffering 235 548 it 237 548 had 239 548 bred. 241 548 Cape 243 548 of 245 548 Good 247 548 Hope, 249 548 do 251 548 they 253 548 call 255 548 ye? 257 548 Rather 259 548 Cape 261 548 Tormentoto, 263 548 as 265 548 called 267 548 of 269 548 yore; 271 548 for 273 548 long 275 548 allured 277 548 by 279 548 the 281 548 perfidious 283 548 silences 285 548 that 287 548 before 289 548 had 291 548 attended 293 548 us, 295 548 we 297 548 found 299 548 ourselves 301 548 launched 303 548 into 305 548 this 307 548 tormented 309 548 sea, 311 548 where 313 548 guilty 315 548 beings 317 548 transformed 319 548 into 321 548 those 323 548 fowls 325 548 and 327 548 these 329 548 fish, 331 548 seemed 333 548 condemned 335 548 to 337 548 swim 339 548 on 341 548 everlastingly 343 548 without 345 548 any 347 548 haven 349 548 in 351 548 store, 353 548 or 355 548 beat 357 548 that 359 548 black 361 548 air 363 548 without 365 548 any 367 548 horizon. 369 548 But 371 548 calm, 373 548 snow-white, 375 548 and 377 548 unvarying; 379 548 still 381 548 directing 383 548 its 385 548 fountain 387 548 of 389 548 feathers 391 548 to 393 548 the 395 548 sky; 397 548 still 399 548 beckoning 401 548 us 403 548 on 405 548 from 407 548 before, 409 548 the 413 548 solitary 415 548 jet 417 548 would 419 548 at 421 548 times 423 548 be 425 548 descried. 427 548 During 429 548 all 431 548 this 433 548 blackness 435 548 of 437 548 the 439 548 elements, 441 548 Ahab, 443 548 though 445 548 assuming 447 548 for 449 548 the 451 548 time 453 548 the 455 548 almost 457 548 continual 459 548 command 461 548 of 463 548 the 465 548 drenched 467 548 and 469 548 dangerous 471 548 deck, 473 548 manifested 475 548 the 477 548 gloomiest 479 548 reserve; 481 548 and 483 548 more 485 548 seldom 487 548 than 489 548 ever 491 548 addressed 493 548 his 495 548 mates. 497 548 In 499 548 tempestuous 501 548 times 503 548 like 505 548 these, 507 548 after 509 548 everything 511 548 above 513 548 and 515 548 aloft 517 548 has 519 548 been 521 548 secured, 523 548 nothing 525 548 more 527 548 can 529 548 be 531 548 done 533 548 but 535 548 passively 537 548 to 539 548 await 541 548 the 543 548 issue 545 548 of 547 548 the 1 549 gale. 2 549 Then 4 549 Captain 5 549 and 7 549 crew 8 549 become 10 549 practical 11 549 fatalists. 13 549 So, 14 549 with 16 549 his 17 549 ivory 19 549 leg 20 549 inserted 22 549 into 23 549 its 25 549 accustomed 26 549 hole, 28 549 and 29 549 with 31 549 one 32 549 hand 34 549 firmly 35 549 grasping 37 549 a 38 549 shroud, 40 549 Ahab 41 549 for 43 549 hours 44 549 and 46 549 hours 47 549 would 49 549 stand 50 549 gazing 52 549 dead 53 549 to 55 549 windward, 56 549 while 58 549 an 59 549 occasional 62 549 squall 64 549 of 65 549 sleet 67 549 or 68 549 snow 70 549 would 71 549 all 73 549 but 74 549 congeal 76 549 his 77 549 very 79 549 eyelashes 80 549 together. 82 549 Meantime, 83 549 the 85 549 crew 86 549 driven 88 549 from 89 549 the 91 549 forward 92 549 part 94 549 of 95 549 the 97 549 ship 98 549 by 100 549 the 101 549 perilous 103 549 seas 104 549 that 106 549 burstingly 107 549 broke 109 549 over 110 549 its 112 549 bows, 113 549 stood 115 549 in 116 549 a 118 549 line 119 549 along 121 549 the 124 549 bulwarks 125 549 in 127 549 the 128 549 waist; 130 549 and 131 549 the 133 549 better 134 549 to 136 549 guard 137 549 against 139 549 the 140 549 leaping 142 549 waves, 143 549 each 145 549 man 146 549 had 148 549 slipped 149 549 himself 151 549 into 152 549 a 154 549 sort 155 549 of 157 549 bowline 158 549 secured 160 549 to 161 549 the 163 549 rail, 164 549 in 166 549 which 167 549 he 169 549 swung 170 549 as 172 549 in 173 549 a 175 549 loosened 176 549 belt. 178 549 Few 179 549 or 181 549 no 182 549 words 184 549 were 185 549 spoken; 187 549 and 188 549 the 190 549 silent 191 549 ship, 193 549 as 194 549 if 196 549 manned 197 549 by 199 549 painted 200 549 sailors 202 549 in 203 549 wax, 205 549 day 206 549 after 208 549 day 209 549 tore 211 549 on 212 549 through 214 549 all 215 549 the 217 549 swift 218 549 madness 220 549 and 221 549 gladness 223 549 of 224 549 the 226 549 demoniac 227 549 waves. 229 549 By 230 549 night 232 549 the 233 549 same 235 549 muteness 236 549 of 238 549 humanity 239 549 before 241 549 the 242 549 shrieks 245 549 of 247 549 the 248 549 ocean 250 549 prevailed; 251 549 still 253 549 in 254 549 silence 256 549 the 257 549 men 259 549 swung 260 549 in 262 549 the 263 549 bowlines; 265 549 still 266 549 wordless 268 549 Ahab 269 549 stood 271 549 up 272 549 to 274 549 the 275 549 blast. 277 549 Even 278 549 when 280 549 wearied 281 549 nature 283 549 seemed 284 549 demanding 286 549 repose 287 549 he 289 549 would 290 549 not 292 549 seek 293 549 that 295 549 repose 296 549 in 298 549 his 299 549 hammock. 301 549 Never 302 549 could 304 549 Starbuck 307 549 forget 308 549 the 310 549 old 311 549 man's 313 549 aspect, 314 549 when 316 549 one 317 549 night 319 549 going 320 549 down 322 549 into 323 549 the 325 549 cabin 326 549 to 328 549 mark 329 549 how 331 549 the 332 549 barometer 334 549 stood, 335 549 he 337 549 saw 338 549 him 340 549 with 341 549 closed 343 549 eyes 344 549 sitting 346 549 straight 347 549 in 349 549 his 350 549 floor-screwed 352 549 chair; 353 549 the 355 549 rain 356 549 and 358 549 half-melted 359 549 sleet 361 549 of 362 549 the 364 549 storm 365 549 from 367 549 which 368 549 he 370 549 had 371 549 some 373 549 time 374 549 before 376 549 emerged, 377 549 still 379 549 slowly 380 549 dripping 382 549 from 383 549 the 385 549 unremoved 386 549 hat 388 549 and 389 549 coat. 391 549 On 392 549 the 394 549 table 395 549 beside 397 549 him 398 549 lay 400 549 unrolled 401 549 one 403 549 of 404 549 those 406 549 charts 407 549 of 409 549 tides 410 549 and 412 549 currents 413 549 which 415 549 have 416 549 previously 418 549 been 419 549 spoken 421 549 of. 422 549 His 424 549 lantern 425 549 swung 428 549 from 430 549 his 431 549 tightly 433 549 clenched 434 549 hand. 436 549 Though 437 549 the 439 549 body 440 549 was 442 549 erect, 443 549 the 445 549 head 446 549 was 448 549 thrown 449 549 back 451 549 so 452 549 that 454 549 the 455 549 closed 457 549 eyes 458 549 were 460 549 pointed 461 549 towards 463 549 the 464 549 needle 466 549 of 467 549 the 469 549 tell-tale 470 549 that 472 549 swung 473 549 from 475 549 a 476 549 beam 478 549 in 479 549 the 481 549 ceiling.* 482 549 *The 484 549 cabin-compass 485 549 is 487 549 called 490 549 the 491 549 tell-tale, 493 549 because 494 549 without 496 549 going 497 549 to 499 549 the 500 549 compass 502 549 at 503 549 the 505 549 helm, 506 549 the 508 549 Captain, 509 549 while 511 549 below, 512 549 can 514 549 inform 515 549 himself 517 549 of 518 549 the 520 549 course 521 549 of 523 549 the 524 549 ship. 526 549 Terrible 527 549 old 529 549 man! 530 549 thought 532 549 Starbuck 533 549 with 535 549 a 536 549 shudder, 538 549 sleeping 539 549 in 541 549 this 542 549 gale, 544 549 still 545 549 thou 547 549 steadfastly 548 549 eyest 1 550 thy 3 550 purpose. 7 550 CHAPTER 9 550 52 13 550 The 17 550 Albatross. 19 550 South-eastward 21 550 from 23 550 the 27 550 Cape, 29 550 off 31 550 the 37 550 distant 39 550 Crozetts, 41 550 a 43 550 good 47 550 cruising 49 550 ground 51 550 for 53 550 Right 57 550 Whalemen, 59 550 a 61 550 sail 63 550 loomed 67 550 ahead, 69 550 the 71 550 Goney 73 550 (Albatross) 79 550 by 81 550 name. 83 550 As 87 550 she 89 550 slowly 91 550 drew 93 550 nigh, 97 550 from 101 550 my 103 550 lofty 107 550 perch 109 550 at 111 550 the 113 550 fore-mast-head, 117 550 I 119 550 had 123 550 a 127 550 good 129 550 view 131 550 of 133 550 that 137 550 sight 139 550 so 141 550 remarkable 147 550 to 149 550 a 151 550 tyro 153 550 in 157 550 the 159 550 far 161 550 ocean 163 550 fisheries--a 167 550 whaler 169 550 at 171 550 sea, 173 550 and 177 550 long 179 550 absent 181 550 from 183 550 home. 189 550 As 191 550 if 193 550 the 197 550 waves 199 550 had 201 550 been 203 550 fullers, 207 550 this 211 550 craft 213 550 was 217 550 bleached 219 550 like 221 550 the 223 550 skeleton 227 550 of 229 550 a 233 550 stranded 237 550 walrus. 239 550 All 241 550 down 243 550 her 247 550 sides, 249 550 this 251 550 spectral 257 550 appearance 259 550 was 261 550 traced 263 550 with 267 550 long 269 550 channels 271 550 of 273 550 reddened 277 550 rust, 279 550 while 281 550 all 283 550 her 287 550 spars 289 550 and 291 550 her 293 550 rigging 299 550 were 301 550 like 303 550 the 307 550 thick 309 550 branches 311 550 of 313 550 trees 317 550 furred 321 550 over 323 550 with 327 550 hoar-frost. 329 550 Only 331 550 her 333 550 lower 337 550 sails 339 550 were 343 550 set. 347 550 A 349 550 wild 351 550 sight 353 550 it 357 550 was 359 550 to 361 550 see 367 550 her 369 550 long-bearded 371 550 look-outs 373 550 at 377 550 those 379 550 three 381 550 mast-heads. 383 550 They 387 550 seemed 389 550 clad 391 550 in 393 550 the 397 550 skins 399 550 of 401 550 beasts, 403 550 so 409 550 torn 411 550 and 413 550 bepatched 417 550 the 419 550 raiment 421 550 that 423 550 had 427 550 survived 431 550 nearly 433 550 four 437 550 years 439 550 of 441 550 cruising. 443 550 Standing 447 550 in 449 550 iron 453 550 hoops 457 550 nailed 459 550 to 461 550 the 463 550 mast, 467 550 they 469 550 swayed 471 550 and 477 550 swung 479 550 over 481 550 a 483 550 fathomless 487 550 sea; 489 550 and 491 550 though, 493 550 when 497 550 the 499 550 ship 501 550 slowly 503 550 glided 507 550 close 509 550 under 511 550 our 513 550 stern, 519 550 we 521 550 six 523 550 men 527 550 in 529 550 the 531 550 air 533 550 came 537 550 so 541 550 nigh 543 550 to 547 550 each 549 550 other 1 551 that 2 551 we 3 551 might 4 551 almost 5 551 have 6 551 leaped 7 551 from 8 551 the 9 551 mast-heads 10 551 of 11 551 one 12 551 ship 13 551 to 14 551 those 15 551 of 16 551 the 17 551 other; 18 551 yet, 20 551 those 21 551 forlorn-looking 22 551 fishermen, 23 551 mildly 24 551 eyeing 25 551 us 26 551 as 27 551 they 28 551 passed, 30 551 said 31 551 not 32 551 one 33 551 word 34 551 to 35 551 our 36 551 own 37 551 look-outs, 39 551 while 40 551 the 41 551 quarter-deck 42 551 hail 43 551 was 44 551 being 45 551 heard 46 551 from 47 551 below. 48 551 "Ship 49 551 ahoy! 50 551 Have 51 551 ye 52 551 seen 53 551 the 54 551 White 55 551 Whale?" 56 551 But 59 551 as 60 551 the 61 551 strange 62 551 captain, 63 551 leaning 64 551 over 65 551 the 66 551 pallid 67 551 bulwarks, 68 551 was 69 551 in 70 551 the 71 551 act 72 551 of 73 551 putting 74 551 his 75 551 trumpet 77 551 to 78 551 his 79 551 mouth, 80 551 it 81 551 somehow 82 551 fell 83 551 from 84 551 his 85 551 hand 86 551 into 88 551 the 89 551 sea; 90 551 and 91 551 the 92 551 wind 93 551 now 94 551 rising 96 551 amain, 97 551 he 98 551 in 99 551 vain 100 551 strove 101 551 to 102 551 make 103 551 himself 104 551 heard 105 551 without 106 551 it. 107 551 Meantime 108 551 his 109 551 ship 110 551 was 111 551 still 112 551 increasing 113 551 the 115 551 distance 117 551 between. 118 551 While 119 551 in 120 551 various 121 551 silent 122 551 ways 123 551 the 124 551 seamen 125 551 of 126 551 the 127 551 Pequod 128 551 were 129 551 evincing 130 551 their 131 551 observance 132 551 of 134 551 this 135 551 ominous 136 551 incident 137 551 at 138 551 the 139 551 first 140 551 mere 141 551 mention 142 551 of 143 551 the 144 551 White 146 551 Whale's 147 551 name 148 551 to 149 551 another 150 551 ship, 151 551 Ahab 153 551 for 154 551 a 155 551 moment 156 551 paused; 157 551 it 158 551 almost 159 551 seemed 160 551 as 161 551 though 162 551 he 163 551 would 164 551 have 165 551 lowered 166 551 a 167 551 boat 168 551 to 169 551 board 170 551 the 172 551 stranger, 173 551 had 175 551 not 176 551 the 177 551 threatening 178 551 wind 179 551 forbade. 180 551 But 181 551 taking 182 551 advantage 183 551 of 184 551 his 185 551 windward 186 551 position, 187 551 he 188 551 again 189 551 seized 191 551 his 192 551 trumpet, 193 551 and 194 551 knowing 195 551 by 196 551 her 197 551 aspect 198 551 that 199 551 the 200 551 stranger 201 551 vessel 202 551 was 204 551 a 205 551 Nantucketer 206 551 and 207 551 shortly 208 551 bound 210 551 home, 211 551 he 212 551 loudly 213 551 hailed--"Ahoy 214 551 there! 215 551 This 216 551 is 217 551 the 218 551 Pequod, 219 551 bound 220 551 round 221 551 the 222 551 world! 223 551 Tell 224 551 them 225 551 to 226 551 address 227 551 all 229 551 future 230 551 letters 231 551 to 233 551 the 234 551 Pacific 235 551 ocean! 236 551 and 237 551 this 238 551 time 239 551 three 240 551 years, 241 551 if 242 551 I 243 551 am 244 551 not 245 551 at 246 551 home, 248 551 tell 249 551 them 250 551 to 251 551 address 252 551 them 253 551 to--" 254 551 At 255 551 that 256 551 moment 257 551 the 258 551 two 259 551 wakes 260 551 were 262 551 fairly 263 551 crossed, 264 551 and 265 551 instantly, 267 551 then, 268 551 in 269 551 accordance 270 551 with 271 551 their 272 551 singular 273 551 ways, 274 551 shoals 275 551 of 276 551 small 277 551 harmless 278 551 fish, 279 551 that 280 551 for 281 551 some 282 551 days 283 551 before 284 551 had 286 551 been 287 551 placidly 288 551 swimming 289 551 by 291 551 our 292 551 side, 293 551 darted 294 551 away 295 551 with 296 551 what 297 551 seemed 298 551 shuddering 299 551 fins, 300 551 and 301 551 ranged 302 551 themselves 303 551 fore 305 551 and 306 551 aft 307 551 with 308 551 the 309 551 stranger's 310 551 flanks. 311 551 Though 312 551 in 313 551 the 314 551 course 315 551 of 316 551 his 317 551 continual 318 551 voyagings 320 551 Ahab 321 551 must 322 551 often 324 551 before 325 551 have 326 551 noticed 327 551 a 328 551 similar 329 551 sight, 330 551 yet, 331 551 to 332 551 any 333 551 monomaniac 334 551 man, 335 551 the 336 551 veriest 337 551 trifles 338 551 capriciously 339 551 carry 340 551 meanings. 341 551 "Swim 343 551 away 344 551 from 345 551 me, 346 551 do 347 551 ye?" 349 551 murmured 350 551 Ahab, 351 551 gazing 352 551 over 353 551 into 354 551 the 355 551 water. 356 551 There 357 551 seemed 358 551 but 359 551 little 360 551 in 362 551 the 363 551 words, 364 551 but 365 551 the 366 551 tone 367 551 conveyed 368 551 more 369 551 of 370 551 deep 371 551 helpless 372 551 sadness 373 551 than 374 551 the 375 551 insane 376 551 old 378 551 man 379 551 had 381 551 ever 382 551 before 383 551 evinced. 384 551 But 385 551 turning 386 551 to 387 551 the 388 551 steersman, 389 551 who 390 551 thus 391 551 far 392 551 had 393 551 been 394 551 holding 395 551 the 396 551 ship 397 551 in 398 551 the 400 551 wind 401 551 to 402 551 diminish 403 551 her 404 551 headway, 405 551 he 407 551 cried 408 551 out 409 551 in 410 551 his 411 551 old 412 551 lion 413 551 voice,--"Up 414 551 helm! 415 551 Keep 416 551 her 417 551 off 419 551 round 420 551 the 421 551 world!" 422 551 Round 423 551 the 424 551 world! 425 551 There 426 551 is 427 551 much 428 551 in 429 551 that 430 551 sound 431 551 to 432 551 inspire 433 551 proud 434 551 feelings; 436 551 but 438 551 whereto 439 551 does 440 551 all 441 551 that 442 551 circumnavigation 443 551 conduct? 444 551 Only 445 551 through 446 551 numberless 447 551 perils 448 551 to 449 551 the 450 551 very 451 551 point 452 551 whence 453 551 we 454 551 started, 455 551 where 457 551 those 458 551 that 459 551 we 460 551 left 461 551 behind 462 551 secure, 463 551 were 465 551 all 466 551 the 467 551 time 468 551 before 469 551 us. 470 551 Were 471 551 this 472 551 world 473 551 an 474 551 endless 476 551 plain, 477 551 and 478 551 by 479 551 sailing 480 551 eastward 481 551 we 482 551 could 483 551 for 484 551 ever 485 551 reach 486 551 new 487 551 distances, 488 551 and 489 551 discover 490 551 sights 491 551 more 492 551 sweet 495 551 and 496 551 strange 497 551 than 498 551 any 499 551 Cyclades 500 551 or 501 551 Islands 502 551 of 503 551 King 504 551 Solomon, 505 551 then 506 551 there 507 551 were 508 551 promise 509 551 in 510 551 the 511 551 voyage. 512 551 But 514 551 in 515 551 pursuit 516 551 of 517 551 those 518 551 far 519 551 mysteries 520 551 we 521 551 dream 523 551 of, 524 551 or 525 551 in 526 551 tormented 527 551 chase 528 551 of 529 551 that 530 551 demon 531 551 phantom 533 551 that, 534 551 some 535 551 time 536 551 or 537 551 other, 538 551 swims 539 551 before 540 551 all 541 551 human 542 551 hearts; 543 551 while 544 551 chasing 545 551 such 546 551 over 547 551 this 548 551 round 549 551 globe, 550 551 they 1 552 either 5 552 lead 7 552 us 11 552 on 13 552 in 17 552 barren 19 552 mazes 25 552 or 29 552 midway 31 552 leave 35 552 us 37 552 whelmed. 41 552 CHAPTER 43 552 53 47 552 The 49 552 Gam. 53 552 The 55 552 ostensible 59 552 reason 61 552 why 65 552 Ahab 67 552 did 71 552 not 73 552 go 77 552 on 79 552 board 83 552 of 85 552 the 89 552 whaler 91 552 we 95 552 had 97 552 spoken 101 552 was 103 552 this: 107 552 the 109 552 wind 113 552 and 119 552 sea 121 552 betokened 125 552 storms. 127 552 But 131 552 even 133 552 had 137 552 this 139 552 not 143 552 been 145 552 the 149 552 case, 151 552 he 155 552 would 157 552 not 163 552 after 167 552 all, 169 552 perhaps, 173 552 have 175 552 boarded 179 552 her--judging 181 552 by 185 552 his 187 552 subsequent 191 552 conduct 193 552 on 197 552 similar 199 552 occasions--if 203 552 so 205 552 it 209 552 had 211 552 been 215 552 that, 217 552 by 221 552 the 223 552 process 227 552 of 229 552 hailing, 233 552 he 235 552 had 239 552 obtained 241 552 a 245 552 negative 247 552 answer 251 552 to 257 552 the 259 552 question 263 552 he 265 552 put. 269 552 For, 271 552 as 275 552 it 277 552 eventually 281 552 turned 283 552 out, 287 552 he 289 552 cared 293 552 not 295 552 to 301 552 consort, 305 552 even 307 552 for 311 552 five 313 552 minutes, 317 552 with 319 552 any 323 552 stranger 325 552 captain, 329 552 except 331 552 he 335 552 could 337 552 contribute 341 552 some 343 552 of 347 552 that 349 552 information 353 552 he 355 552 so 359 552 absorbingly 361 552 sought. 365 552 But 367 552 all 371 552 this 373 552 might 377 552 remain 379 552 inadequately 383 552 estimated, 385 552 were 389 552 not 395 552 something 397 552 said 401 552 here 403 552 of 407 552 the 409 552 peculiar 413 552 usages 415 552 of 419 552 whaling-vessels 421 552 when 425 552 meeting 427 552 each 431 552 other 433 552 in 439 552 foreign 443 552 seas, 445 552 and 449 552 especially 451 552 on 455 552 a 457 552 common 461 552 cruising-ground. 463 552 If 467 552 two 469 552 strangers 473 552 crossing 475 552 the 479 552 Pine 481 552 Barrens 485 552 in 487 552 New 491 552 York 493 552 State, 497 552 or 499 552 the 503 552 equally 505 552 desolate 509 552 Salisbury 511 552 Plain 515 552 in 517 552 England; 521 552 if 523 552 casually 527 552 encountering 533 552 each 535 552 other 539 552 in 541 552 such 545 552 inhospitable 547 552 wilds, 551 552 these 1 553 twain, 2 553 for 3 553 the 4 553 life 5 553 of 6 553 them, 8 553 cannot 9 553 well 10 553 avoid 11 553 a 12 553 mutual 13 553 salutation; 15 553 and 16 553 stopping 17 553 for 18 553 a 19 553 moment 20 553 to 22 553 interchange 23 553 the 24 553 news; 25 553 and, 26 553 perhaps, 27 553 sitting 29 553 down 30 553 for 31 553 a 32 553 while 33 553 and 34 553 resting 36 553 in 37 553 concert: 38 553 then, 39 553 how 40 553 much 41 553 more 43 553 natural 44 553 that 45 553 upon 46 553 the 47 553 illimitable 48 553 Pine 50 553 Barrens 51 553 and 52 553 Salisbury 53 553 Plains 54 553 of 55 553 the 57 553 sea, 58 553 two 59 553 whaling 60 553 vessels 61 553 descrying 62 553 each 64 553 other 65 553 at 66 553 the 67 553 ends 68 553 of 69 553 the 71 553 earth--off 72 553 lone 73 553 Fanning's 74 553 Island, 75 553 or 76 553 the 78 553 far 80 553 away 81 553 King's 82 553 Mills; 83 553 how 85 553 much 86 553 more 87 553 natural, 88 553 I 89 553 say, 90 553 that 92 553 under 93 553 such 94 553 circumstances 95 553 these 96 553 ships 97 553 should 99 553 not 100 553 only 101 553 interchange 102 553 hails, 103 553 but 104 553 come 106 553 into 107 553 still 108 553 closer, 109 553 more 110 553 friendly 111 553 and 113 553 sociable 114 553 contact. 115 553 And 116 553 especially 117 553 would 118 553 this 120 553 seem 121 553 to 122 553 be 123 553 a 124 553 matter 125 553 of 127 553 course, 128 553 in 129 553 the 130 553 case 131 553 of 132 553 vessels 134 553 owned 135 553 in 136 553 one 137 553 seaport, 138 553 and 139 553 whose 141 553 captains, 142 553 officers, 143 553 and 144 553 not 145 553 a 146 553 few 148 553 of 149 553 the 150 553 men 151 553 are 152 553 personally 153 553 known 155 553 to 156 553 each 157 553 other; 159 553 and 160 553 consequently, 162 553 have 163 553 all 164 553 sorts 165 553 of 166 553 dear 167 553 domestic 169 553 things 170 553 to 171 553 talk 172 553 about. 173 553 For 174 553 the 176 553 long 177 553 absent 178 553 ship, 179 553 the 180 553 outward-bounder, 181 553 perhaps, 183 553 has 184 553 letters 185 553 on 186 553 board; 187 553 at 188 553 any 190 553 rate, 191 553 she 192 553 will 193 553 be 194 553 sure 195 553 to 197 553 let 198 553 her 199 553 have 200 553 some 201 553 papers 202 553 of 204 553 a 205 553 date 206 553 a 207 553 year 208 553 or 209 553 two 211 553 later 212 553 than 213 553 the 214 553 last 215 553 one 216 553 on 218 553 her 219 553 blurred 220 553 and 221 553 thumb-worn 222 553 files. 223 553 And 225 553 in 226 553 return 227 553 for 228 553 that 229 553 courtesy, 230 553 the 232 553 outward-bound 233 553 ship 234 553 would 235 553 receive 236 553 the 239 553 latest 240 553 whaling 241 553 intelligence 242 553 from 243 553 the 244 553 cruising-ground 246 553 to 247 553 which 248 553 she 249 553 may 250 553 be 251 553 destined, 253 553 a 254 553 thing 255 553 of 256 553 the 257 553 utmost 258 553 importance 260 553 to 261 553 her. 262 553 And 263 553 in 264 553 degree, 265 553 all 267 553 this 268 553 will 269 553 hold 270 553 true 271 553 concerning 272 553 whaling 274 553 vessels 275 553 crossing 276 553 each 277 553 other's 278 553 track 279 553 on 281 553 the 282 553 cruising-ground 283 553 itself, 284 553 even 285 553 though 286 553 they 288 553 are 289 553 equally 290 553 long 291 553 absent 292 553 from 293 553 home. 295 553 For 296 553 one 297 553 of 298 553 them 299 553 may 300 553 have 302 553 received 303 553 a 304 553 transfer 305 553 of 306 553 letters 307 553 from 309 553 some 310 553 third, 311 553 and 312 553 now 313 553 far 314 553 remote 317 553 vessel; 318 553 and 319 553 some 320 553 of 321 553 those 323 553 letters 324 553 may 325 553 be 326 553 for 327 553 the 328 553 people 330 553 of 331 553 the 332 553 ship 333 553 she 334 553 now 335 553 meets. 337 553 Besides, 338 553 they 339 553 would 340 553 exchange 341 553 the 342 553 whaling 344 553 news, 345 553 and 346 553 have 347 553 an 348 553 agreeable 349 553 chat. 351 553 For 352 553 not 353 553 only 354 553 would 355 553 they 356 553 meet 358 553 with 359 553 all 360 553 the 361 553 sympathies 362 553 of 363 553 sailors, 365 553 but 366 553 likewise 367 553 with 368 553 all 369 553 the 370 553 peculiar 372 553 congenialities 373 553 arising 374 553 from 375 553 a 376 553 common 377 553 pursuit 379 553 and 380 553 mutually 381 553 shared 382 553 privations 383 553 and 384 553 perils. 386 553 Nor 387 553 would 388 553 difference 389 553 of 390 553 country 391 553 make 393 553 any 394 553 very 396 553 essential 397 553 difference; 398 553 that 400 553 is, 401 553 so 402 553 long 403 553 as 404 553 both 405 553 parties 407 553 speak 408 553 one 409 553 language, 410 553 as 411 553 is 412 553 the 414 553 case 415 553 with 416 553 Americans 417 553 and 418 553 English. 419 553 Though, 421 553 to 422 553 be 423 553 sure, 424 553 from 425 553 the 426 553 small 428 553 number 429 553 of 430 553 English 431 553 whalers, 432 553 such 433 553 meetings 435 553 do 436 553 not 437 553 very 438 553 often 439 553 occur, 440 553 and 442 553 when 443 553 they 444 553 do 445 553 occur 446 553 there 447 553 is 449 553 too 450 553 apt 451 553 to 452 553 be 453 553 a 454 553 sort 456 553 of 457 553 shyness 458 553 between 459 553 them; 460 553 for 461 553 your 463 553 Englishman 464 553 is 465 553 rather 466 553 reserved, 467 553 and 468 553 your 470 553 Yankee, 471 553 he 472 553 does 473 553 not 475 553 fancy 477 553 that 478 553 sort 479 553 of 480 553 thing 481 553 in 482 553 anybody 484 553 but 485 553 himself. 486 553 Besides, 487 553 the 488 553 English 489 553 whalers 491 553 sometimes 492 553 affect 493 553 a 494 553 kind 495 553 of 496 553 metropolitan 498 553 superiority 499 553 over 500 553 the 501 553 American 502 553 whalers; 503 553 regarding 505 553 the 506 553 long, 507 553 lean 508 553 Nantucketer, 509 553 with 510 553 his 512 553 nondescript 513 553 provincialisms, 514 553 as 515 553 a 516 553 sort 517 553 of 519 553 sea-peasant. 520 553 But 521 553 where 522 553 this 523 553 superiority 524 553 in 526 553 the 527 553 English 528 553 whalemen 529 553 does 530 553 really 531 553 consist, 533 553 it 534 553 would 535 553 be 536 553 hard 537 553 to 538 553 say, 540 553 seeing 541 553 that 542 553 the 543 553 Yankees 544 553 in 545 553 one 547 553 day, 548 553 collectively, 549 553 kill 550 553 more 551 553 whales 552 553 than 1 554 all 3 554 the 5 554 English, 7 554 collectively, 9 554 in 11 554 ten 13 554 years. 15 554 But 17 554 this 19 554 is 21 554 a 23 554 harmless 25 554 little 27 554 foible 29 554 in 31 554 the 33 554 English 35 554 whale-hunters, 37 554 which 39 554 the 41 554 Nantucketer 43 554 does 45 554 not 47 554 take 49 554 much 51 554 to 53 554 heart; 55 554 probably, 57 554 because 59 554 he 61 554 knows 63 554 that 65 554 he 67 554 has 69 554 a 71 554 few 73 554 foibles 75 554 himself. 77 554 So, 79 554 then, 81 554 we 83 554 see 85 554 that 87 554 of 89 554 all 91 554 ships 93 554 separately 95 554 sailing 97 554 the 99 554 sea, 101 554 the 103 554 whalers 105 554 have 107 554 most 109 554 reason 111 554 to 113 554 be 115 554 sociable--and 117 554 they 119 554 are 121 554 so. 123 554 Whereas, 125 554 some 127 554 merchant 129 554 ships 131 554 crossing 133 554 each 135 554 other's 137 554 wake 139 554 in 141 554 the 143 554 mid-Atlantic, 145 554 will 147 554 oftentimes 149 554 pass 151 554 on 153 554 without 155 554 so 157 554 much 159 554 as 161 554 a 163 554 single 165 554 word 167 554 of 169 554 recognition, 171 554 mutually 173 554 cutting 175 554 each 177 554 other 179 554 on 181 554 the 183 554 high 185 554 seas, 187 554 like 189 554 a 191 554 brace 193 554 of 195 554 dandies 197 554 in 199 554 Broadway; 201 554 and 203 554 all 205 554 the 207 554 time 209 554 indulging, 211 554 perhaps, 213 554 in 215 554 finical 217 554 criticism 219 554 upon 221 554 each 223 554 other's 225 554 rig. 227 554 As 229 554 for 231 554 Men-of-War, 233 554 when 235 554 they 237 554 chance 239 554 to 241 554 meet 243 554 at 245 554 sea, 247 554 they 249 554 first 251 554 go 253 554 through 255 554 such 257 554 a 259 554 string 261 554 of 263 554 silly 265 554 bowings 267 554 and 269 554 scrapings, 271 554 such 273 554 a 275 554 ducking 279 554 of 281 554 ensigns, 283 554 that 285 554 there 287 554 does 289 554 not 291 554 seem 293 554 to 295 554 be 297 554 much 299 554 right-down 301 554 hearty 303 554 good-will 305 554 and 307 554 brotherly 309 554 love 311 554 about 313 554 it 315 554 at 317 554 all. 319 554 As 321 554 touching 323 554 Slave-ships 325 554 meeting, 327 554 why, 329 554 they 331 554 are 333 554 in 335 554 such 337 554 a 339 554 prodigious 341 554 hurry, 343 554 they 345 554 run 347 554 away 349 554 from 351 554 each 353 554 other 355 554 as 357 554 soon 359 554 as 361 554 possible. 363 554 And 365 554 as 367 554 for 369 554 Pirates, 371 554 when 373 554 they 375 554 chance 377 554 to 379 554 cross 381 554 each 383 554 other's 385 554 cross-bones, 387 554 the 389 554 first 391 554 hail 393 554 is--"How 395 554 many 397 554 skulls?"--the 399 554 same 401 554 way 403 554 that 405 554 whalers 407 554 hail--"How 409 554 many 411 554 barrels?" 413 554 And 415 554 that 417 554 question 419 554 once 421 554 answered, 423 554 pirates 425 554 straightway 427 554 steer 429 554 apart, 431 554 for 433 554 they 435 554 are 437 554 infernal 439 554 villains 441 554 on 443 554 both 445 554 sides, 447 554 and 449 554 don't 451 554 like 453 554 to 455 554 see 457 554 overmuch 459 554 of 461 554 each 463 554 other's 465 554 villanous 467 554 likenesses. 469 554 But 471 554 look 473 554 at 475 554 the 477 554 godly, 479 554 honest, 481 554 unostentatious, 483 554 hospitable, 485 554 sociable, 487 554 free-and-easy 489 554 whaler! 491 554 What 493 554 does 495 554 the 497 554 whaler 499 554 do 501 554 when 503 554 she 505 554 meets 507 554 another 509 554 whaler 511 554 in 513 554 any 515 554 sort 517 554 of 519 554 decent 521 554 weather? 523 554 She 525 554 has 527 554 a 529 554 "GAM," 531 554 a 533 554 thing 535 554 so 537 554 utterly 539 554 unknown 541 554 to 543 554 all 545 554 other 547 554 ships 549 554 that 551 554 they 553 554 never 1 555 heard 2 555 of 4 555 the 7 555 name 8 555 even; 11 555 and 13 555 if 14 555 by 16 555 chance 17 555 they 19 555 should 22 555 hear 23 555 of 26 555 it, 28 555 they 29 555 only 31 555 grin 32 555 at 34 555 it, 38 555 and 41 555 repeat 43 555 gamesome 44 555 stuff 46 555 about 47 555 "spouters" 49 555 and 52 555 "blubber-boilers," 53 555 and 56 555 such 58 555 like 59 555 pretty 61 555 exclamations. 62 555 Why 64 555 it 67 555 is 68 555 that 71 555 all 73 555 Merchant-seamen, 76 555 and 77 555 also 79 555 all 82 555 Pirates 83 555 and 86 555 Man-of-War's 88 555 men, 89 555 and 91 555 Slave-ship 92 555 sailors, 94 555 cherish 97 555 such 98 555 a 101 555 scornful 103 555 feeling 104 555 towards 106 555 Whale-ships; 107 555 this 109 555 is 112 555 a 113 555 question 116 555 it 118 555 would 119 555 be 121 555 hard 122 555 to 124 555 answer. 127 555 Because, 128 555 in 131 555 the 133 555 case 134 555 of 136 555 pirates, 137 555 say, 139 555 I 142 555 should 143 555 like 146 555 to 149 555 know 151 555 whether 152 555 that 154 555 profession 157 555 of 158 555 theirs 161 555 has 163 555 any 164 555 peculiar 166 555 glory 167 555 about 169 555 it. 172 555 It 173 555 sometimes 176 555 ends 178 555 in 179 555 uncommon 181 555 elevation, 182 555 indeed; 184 555 but 187 555 only 188 555 at 191 555 the 193 555 gallows. 194 555 And 196 555 besides, 197 555 when 199 555 a 202 555 man 203 555 is 206 555 elevated 208 555 in 209 555 that 211 555 odd 212 555 fashion, 214 555 he 217 555 has 218 555 no 221 555 proper 223 555 foundation 224 555 for 226 555 his 227 555 superior 229 555 altitude. 232 555 Hence, 233 555 I 236 555 conclude, 238 555 that 239 555 in 241 555 boasting 242 555 himself 244 555 to 247 555 be 248 555 high 251 555 lifted 253 555 above 254 555 a 256 555 whaleman, 257 555 in 262 555 that 263 555 assertion 266 555 the 268 555 pirate 269 555 has 271 555 no 272 555 solid 274 555 basis 277 555 to 278 555 stand 281 555 on. 283 555 But 284 555 what 286 555 is 287 555 a 289 555 GAM? 292 555 You 293 555 might 298 555 wear 299 555 out 301 555 your 302 555 index-finger 304 555 running 307 555 up 308 555 and 311 555 down 313 555 the 314 555 columns 316 555 of 317 555 dictionaries, 319 555 and 322 555 never 323 555 find 326 555 the 328 555 word. 329 555 Dr. 331 555 Johnson 332 555 never 334 555 attained 337 555 to 338 555 that 341 555 erudition; 343 555 Noah 344 555 Webster's 346 555 ark 347 555 does 349 555 not 352 555 hold 353 555 it. 356 555 Nevertheless, 358 555 this 359 555 same 361 555 expressive 362 555 word 364 555 has 367 555 now 368 555 for 371 555 many 373 555 years 374 555 been 376 555 in 377 555 constant 379 555 use 382 555

whale-boat 113 556 has 115 556 no 117 556 seat 119 556 astern, 121 556 no 123 556 sofa 125 556 of 127 556 that 129 556 sort 131 556 whatever, 133 556 and 135 556 no 137 556 tiller 141 556 at 143 556

admits 203 556 of 205 556 any 207 556 such 209 556 effeminacy; 211 556 and 213 556 therefore 215 556 as 217 556 in 219 556 gamming 221 556 a 223 556 complete 225 556 boat's 227 556 crew 229 556 must

409 556 this 411 556 any 413 556 very 415 556 easy 419 556 matter; 421 556 for 423 556 in 425 556 his 427 556 rear 429 556 is 431 556 the 433 556 immense 435 556 projecting 437 556 steering 439 556

499 556 can 501 556 only 503 556 expand 505 556 himself 507 556 sideways 509 556 by 511 556 settling 513 556 down 515 556 on 517 556 his 519 556 stretched 521 556 legs; 523 556 but 525 556 a 527 556 sudden, 529 556 violent 531 556 pitch 533 556 of 535 556 the 537 556 boat 539 556 will 541 556 often 543 556 go 545 556 far 547 556 to 549 556 topple 551 556 him, 553 556 because 555 556 length 1 557

world's 34 557 riveted 35 557 eyes, 36 557 it 37 557 would 38 557 never 39 557 do, 40 557 I 41 557 say, 42 557 for 43 557 this 44 557 straddling 45 557 captain 46 557 to 47 557 be 48 557 seen 49 557

556 557 to 1 558 my 5 558 first 7 558 learning 11 558 the 13 558 events 17 558 which 19 558 I 23 558 am 25 558 about 29 558 rehearsing 35 558 to 37 558 you, 41 558 gentlemen, 43 558 the 47 558 Town-Ho, 49 558 Sperm 53 558 Whaler 55 558 of 59 558 Nantucket, 61 558 was 65 558 cruising 67 558 in 71 558 your 73 558 Pacific 77 558 here, 79 558 not 83 558 very 85 558 many 89 558 days' 91 558 sail

northward 139 558 of 143 558 the 145 558 Line. 149 558 One 151 558 morning 157 558 upon 161 558 handling 163 558 the 167 558 pumps, 169 558 according 173 558 to 175 558 daily 179 558 usage, 181 558 it 185 558 was 187 558 observed 191 558 that 193 558 she 197 558 made 199 558 more 203 558 water 205 558 in 209 558 her 211 558 hold 215 558 than 221 558 common. 223 558 They 227 558 supposed 229 558 a 233 558 sword-fish 235 558 had 239 558 stabbed 241 558 her, 245 558 gentlemen. 247 558 But 251 558 the 253 558 captain, 257 558 having 259 558 some 263 558 unusual 265 558 reason 269 558 for 271 558 believing 275 558 that 277 558 rare 281 558 good 283 558 luck 287 558 awaited 289 558 him 293 558 in 295 558 those 299 558 latitudes; 301 558 and 305 558 therefore 307 558 being 311 558 very 313 558 averse 317 558 to 319 558 quit 323 558 them, 325 558 and 329 558 the 331 558 leak 335 558 not 337 558 being 343 558 then 347 558 considered 349 558 at 353 558 all 355 558 dangerous, 359 558 though, 361 558 indeed, 365 558 they 367 558 could 371 558 not 373 558 find 377 558 it 379 558 after 383 558 searching 385 558 the 389 558 hold 391 558 as 395 558 low 397 558 down 401 558 as 407 558 was 409 558 possible 413 558 in 415 558 rather 419 558 heavy 421 558 weather, 425 558 the 427 558 ship 431 558 still 433 558 continued 437 558 her 439 558 cruisings, 443 558 the 445 558 mariners 449 558 working 451 558 at 455 558 the 457 558 pumps 461 558 at 463 558 wide 467 558 and 469 558 easy 473 558 intervals; 475 558 but 479 558 no 481 558 good 485 558 luck 487 558 came; 491 558 more 493 558 days 497 558 went 499 558 by, 503 558 and 505 558 not 509 558 only 511 558 was 515 558 the 517 558 leak 521 558 yet 523 558 undiscovered, 529 558 but 533 558 it 535 558 sensibly 539 558 increased. 541 558 So 545 558 much 547 558 so, 551 558 that 553 558 now 557 558 taking 1 559 some 2 559 alarm, 3 559 the 4 559 captain, 5 559 making 6 559 all 7 559 sail, 8 559 stood 9 559 away 10 559 for 11 559 the 12 559 nearest 14 559 harbor 15 559 among 16 559 the 17 559 islands, 18 559 there 19 559 to 20 559 have 21 559 his 22 559 hull 23 559 hove 24 559 out 25 559 and 27 559 repaired. 28 559 "Though 29 559 no 30 559 small 31 559 passage 32 559 was 33 559 before 34 559 her, 35 559 yet, 36 559 if 37 559 the 38 559 commonest 40 559 chance 41 559 favoured, 42 559 he 44 559 did 45 559 not 46 559 at 47 559 all 48 559 fear 49 559 that 50 559 his 51 559 ship 53 559 would 54 559 founder 55 559 by 56 559 the 57 559 way, 58 559 because 59 559 his 60 559 pumps 61 559 were 62 559 of 63 559 the 64 559 best, 66 559 and 67 559 being 68 559 periodically 69 559 relieved 70 559 at 71 559 them, 72 559 those 73 559 six-and-thirty 74 559 men 75 559 of 76 559 his 77 559 could 79 559 easily 80 559 keep 81 559 the 82 559 ship 83 559 free; 84 559 never 85 559 mind 87 559 if 88 559 the 89 559 leak 90 559 should 92 559 double 93 559 on 94 559 her. 95 559 In 96 559 truth, 97 559 well 98 559 nigh 99 559 the 100 559

events, 363 560 he 367 560 had 369 560 proved 373 560 so 377 560 thus 379 560 far; 381 560 but 383 560 Radney 387 560 was 389 560 doomed 391 560 and 393 560 made 397 560 mad, 401 560 and 403 560 Steelkilt--but, 407 560 gentlemen, 409 560 you 411 560 shall 417 560 hear. 419 560 "It 421 560 was 423 560 not 429 560 more 431 560 than 433 560 a 437 560 day 439 560 or 443 560 two 447 560 at 449 560 the 451 560 furthest 453 560 after 457 560 pointing 459 560 her 461 560 prow 463 560 for 467 560 her 471 560 island 473 560 haven, 477 560 that 479 560 the 481 560 Town-Ho's 487 560 leak 489 560 seemed 491 560 again 493 560 increasing, 499 560 but 501 560 only 503 560 so 507 560 as 509 560 to 513 560 require 517 560 an 519 560 hour 521 560 or 523 560 more 527 560 at 529 560 the 531 560 pumps 533 560 every 537 560 day. 541 560 You 543 560 must 547 560 know 549 560 that 551 560 in 557 560 a 559 560 settled 1 561 and 2 561 civilized 4 561 ocean 5 561 like 7 561 our 8 561 Atlantic, 10 561 for 13 561 example, 14 561 some 16 561 skippers 19 561 think 20 561 little 23 561 of 25 561 pumping 26 561 their 28 561 whole 29 561 way 31 561 across 32 561 it; 35 561 though 37 561 of 38 561 a 40 561 still, 41 561 sleepy 43 561 night, 46 561 should 47 561 the 49 561 officer 50 561 of 52 561 the 53 561 deck 56 561 happen 58 561 to 59 561 forget 61 561 his 62 561 duty 64 561 in 65 561 that 67 561 respect, 70 561 the 71 561 probability 73 561 would 74 561 be 76 561 that 79 561 he 80 561 and 82 561 his 83 561 shipmates 86 561 would 89 561 never 91 561 again 92 561 remember 94 561 it, 95 561 on 97 561 account 98 561 of 100 561 all 101 561 hands 103 561 gently 104 561 subsiding 106 561 to 107 561 the 109 561 bottom. 112 561 Nor 113 561 in 115 561 the 116 561 solitary 118 561 and 122 561 savage 124 561 seas 125 561 far 127 561 from 128 561 you 130 561 to 131 561 the 133 561 westward, 134 561 gentlemen, 137 561 is 139 561 it 140 561 altogether 142 561 unusual 145 561 for 146 561 ships 148 561 to 149 561 keep 151 561 clanging 152 561 at 155 561 their 157 561 pump-handles 158 561 in 160 561 full 161 561 chorus 163 561 even 164 561 for 166 561 a 167 561 voyage 169 561 of 172 561 considerable 173 561 length; 175 561 that 178 561 is, 179 561 if 181 561 it 182 561 lie 184 561 along 185 561 a 188 561 tolerably 190 561 accessible 191 561 coast, 193 561 or 194 561 if 196 561 any 197 561 other 199 561 reasonable 200 561 retreat 202 561 is 203 561 afforded 205 561 them. 206 561 It 208 561 is 211 561 only 212 561 when 214 561 a 215 561 leaky 217 561 vessel 218 561 is 223 561 in 224 561 some 226 561 very 227 561 out 229 561 of 230 561 the 232 561 way 233 561 part 235 561 of 236 561 those 239 561 waters, 241 561 some 244 561 really 245 561 landless 247 561 latitude, 248 561 that 250 561 her 251 561 captain 254 561 begins 256 561 to 257 561 feel 259 561 a 260 561 little 262 561 anxious. 263 561 "Much 265 561 this 266 561 way 268 561 had 269 561 it 271 561 been 274 561 with 277 561 the 278 561 Town-Ho; 280 561 so 281 561 when 283 561 her 284 561 leak 287 561 was 290 561 found 292 561 gaining 293 561 once 295 561 more, 296 561 there 298 561 was 299 561 in 301 561 truth 302 561 some 304 561 small 305 561 concern 307 561 manifested 310 561 by 311 561 several 313 561 of 314 561 her 316 561 company; 317 561 especially 320 561 by 322 561 Radney 325 561 the 326 561 mate. 328 561 He 329 561 commanded 331 561 the 332 561 upper 334 561 sails 335 561 to 337 561 be 338 561 well 343 561 hoisted, 344 561 sheeted 346 561 home 347 561 anew, 349 561 and 350 561 every 353 561 way 355 561 expanded 356 561 to 358 561 the 359 561 breeze. 361 561 Now 362 561 this 364 561 Radney, 365 561 I 367 561 suppose, 368 561 was 370 561 as 371 561 little 373 561 of 376 561 a 377 561 coward, 379 561 and 380 561 as 382 561 little 383 561 inclined 386 561 to 388 561 any 389 561 sort 392 561 of 394 561 nervous 395 561 apprehensiveness 397 561 touching 398 561 his 400 561 own 401 561 person 403 561 as 404 561 any 406 561 fearless, 409 561 unthinking 410 561 creature 412 561 on 413 561 land 415 561 or 416 561 on 419 561 sea 421 561 that 422 561 you 424 561 can 427 561 conveniently 428 561 imagine, 430 561 gentlemen. 431 561 Therefore 433 561 when 434 561 he 436 561 betrayed 437 561 this 439 561 solicitude 443 561 about 445 561 the 446 561 safety 448 561 of 449 561 the 452 561 ship, 454 561 some 455 561 of 457 561 the 458 561 seamen 460 561 declared 461 561 that 463 561 it 464 561 was 466 561 only 467 561 on 469 561 account 470 561 of 472 561 his 475 561 being 478 561 a 479 561 part 481 561 owner 482 561 in 485 561 her. 487 561 So 488 561 when 490 561 they 491 561 were 494 561 working 496 561 that 497 561 evening 499 561 at 500 561 the 502 561 pumps, 503 561 there 505 561 was 508 561 on 509 561 this 511 561 head 512 561 no 514 561 small 515 561 gamesomeness 518 561 slily 520 561 going 521 561 on 523 561 among 524 561 them, 526 561 as 529 561 they 530 561 stood 532 561 with 533 561 their 535 561 feet 536 561 continually 538 561 overflowed 541 561 by 542 561 the 545 561 rippling 547 561 clear 548 561 water; 551 561 clear 553 561 as 554 561 any 556 561 mountain 557 561 spring, 559 561 gentlemen--that 560 561 bubbling 1 562 from 3 562 the 5 562 pumps 7 562 ran 9 562 across 11 562 the 13 562 deck, 15 562 and 17 562 poured 19 562 itself 21 562 out 23 562 in 25 562 steady 27 562 spouts 29 562 at 31 562 the 33 562 lee 35 562 scupper-holes. 37 562 "Now, 39 562 as 41 562 you 43 562 well 45 562 know, 47 562 it 49 562 is 51 562 not 53 562 seldom 55 562 the 57 562 case 59 562 in 61 562 this 63 562 conventional 65 562 world 67 562 of 69 562 ours--watery 71 562 or 73 562 otherwise; 75 562 that 77 562 when 79 562 a 81 562 person 83 562 placed 85 562 in 87 562 command 89 562 over 91 562 his 93 562 fellow-men 95 562 finds 97 562 one 99 562 of 101 562 them 103 562 to 105 562 be 107 562 very 109 562 significantly 111 562 his 113 562 superior 115 562 in 117 562 general 119 562 pride 121 562 of 123 562 manhood, 125 562 straightway 127 562 against 129 562 that 131 562 man 133 562 he 135 562 conceives 137 562 an 139 562 unconquerable 141 562 dislike 143 562 and 145 562 bitterness; 147 562 and 149 562 if 151 562 he 153 562 have 155 562 a 157 562 chance 159 562 he 161 562 will 163 562 pull 165 562 down 167 562 and 169 562 pulverize 171 562 that 173 562 subaltern's 175 562 tower, 177 562 and 179 562 make 181 562 a 183 562 little 185 562 heap 187 562 of 189 562 dust 191 562 of 193 562 it. 195 562 Be 197 562 this 199 562 conceit 201 562 of 203 562 mine 205 562 as 207 562 it 209 562 may, 211 562 gentlemen, 213 562 at 215 562 all 217 562 events 219 562 Steelkilt 221 562 was 223 562 a 225 562 tall 227 562 and 229 562 noble 231 562 animal 233 562 with 235 562 a 237 562 head 239 562 like 241 562 a 243 562 Roman, 245 562 and 247 562 a 249 562 flowing 251 562 golden 253 562 beard 255 562 like 257 562 the 259 562 tasseled 261 562 housings 263 562 of

Charlemagne's 325 562 father. 327 562 But 329 562 Radney, 331 562 the 333 562 mate, 335 562 was 337 562 ugly 339 562 as 341 562 a 343 562 mule; 345 562 yet 347 562 as 349 562 hardy, 351 562 as 353 562

563 went 186 563 forward 187 563 all 188 563 panting, 189 563 and 190 563 sat 191 563 himself 192 563 down 193 563 on 194 563 the 195 563 windlass; 196 563 his 197 563 face 198 563 fiery 199 563 red, 200 563 his 201 563 eyes 202 563 bloodshot, 203 563 and 204 563 wiping 205 563 the 206 563 profuse 207 563 sweat 208 563 from 209 563 his 210 563 brow. 211 563 Now 212 563 what 213 563 cozening 214 563 fiend 215 563 it 216 563 was, 217 563 gentlemen, 218 563 that 219 563 possessed 220 563 Radney 221 563 to 222 563 meddle 223 563 with 224 563 such 225 563 a 226 563 man 227 563 in 228 563 that 229 563 corporeally 230 563 exasperated 231 563 state, 232 563 I 233 563 know 234 563 not; 235 563 but 236 563 so 237 563 it 238 563 happened. 239 563 Intolerably 240 563 striding 241 563 along 242 563 the 243 563 deck, 244 563 the 245 563 mate 246 563 commanded 247 563 him 248 563 to 249 563 get 250 563 a 251 563 broom 252 563 and 253 563 sweep 254 563 down 255 563 the 256 563 planks, 257 563 and 258 563 also 259 563 a 260 563 shovel, 261 563 and 262 563 remove 263 563 some 264 563 offensive 265 563 matters 266 563 consequent 267 563 upon 268 563 allowing 269 563 a 270 563 pig 271 563 to 272 563 run 273 563 at 274 563 large. 275 563 "Now, 276 563 gentlemen, 277 563 sweeping 278 563 a 279 563 ship's 280 563 deck 281 563 at 282 563 sea 283 563 is 284 563 a 285 563 piece 286 563 of 287 563 household 288 563 work 289 563 which 290 563 in 291 563 all 292 563 times 293 563 but 294 563 raging 295 563 gales 296 563 is 297 563 regularly 298 563 attended 299 563 to 300 563 every 301 563 evening; 302 563 it 303 563 has 304 563 been 305 563 known 306 563 to 307 563 be 308 563 done 309 563 in 310 563 the 311 563 case 312 563 of 313 563 ships 314 563 actually 315 563 foundering 316 563 at 317 563 the 318 563 time. 319 563 Such, 320 563 gentlemen, 321 563 is 322 563 the 323 563 inflexibility 324 563 of 325 563 sea-usages 326 563 and 327 563 the 328 563 instinctive 329 563 love 330 563 of 331 563 neatness 332 563 in 333 563 seamen; 334 563 some 335 563 of 336 563 whom 337 563 would 338 563 not 339 563 willingly 340 563 drown 341 563 without 342 563 first 343 563 washing 344 563 their 345 563 faces. 346 563 But 347 563 in 348 563 all 349 563 vessels 350 563 this 351 563 broom 352 563 business 353 563 is 354 563 the 355 563 prescriptive 356 563 province 357 563 of 358 563 the 359 563 boys, 360 563 if 361 563 boys 362 563 there 363 563 be 364 563 aboard. 365 563 Besides, 366 563 it 367 563 was 368 563 the 369 563 stronger 370 563 men 371 563 in 372 563 the 373 563 Town-Ho 374 563 that 375 563 had 376 563 been 377 563 divided 378 563 into 379 563 gangs, 380 563 taking 381 563 turns 382 563 at 383 563 the 384 563 pumps; 385 563 and 386 563 being 387 563 the 388 563 most 389 563 athletic 390 563 seaman 391 563 of 392 563 them 393 563 all, 394 563 Steelkilt 395 563 had 396 563 been 397 563 regularly 398 563 assigned 399 563 captain 400 563 of 401 563 one 402 563 of 403 563 the 404 563 gangs; 405 563 consequently 406 563 he 407 563 should 408 563 have 409 563 been 410 563 freed 411 563 from 412 563 any 413 563 trivial 414 563 business 415 563 not 416 563 connected 417 563 with 418 563 truly 419 563 nautical 420 563 duties, 421 563 such 422 563 being 423 563 the 424 563 case 425 563 with 426 563 his 427 563 comrades. 428 563 I 429 563 mention 430 563 all 431 563 these 432 563 particulars 433 563 so 434 563 that 435 563 you 436 563 may 437 563 understand 438 563 exactly 439 563 how 440 563 this 441 563 affair 442 563 stood 443 563 between 444 563 the 445 563 two 446 563 men. 447 563 "But 448 563 there 449 563 was 450 563 more 451 563 than 452 563 this: 453 563 the 454 563 order 455 563 about 456 563 the 457 563 shovel 458 563 was 459 563 almost 460 563 as 461 563 plainly 462 563 meant 463 563 to 464 563 sting 465 563 and 466 563 insult 467 563 Steelkilt, 468 563 as 469 563 though 470 563 Radney 471 563 had 472 563 spat 473 563 in 474 563 his 475 563 face. 476 563 Any 477 563 man 478 563 who 479 563 has 480 563 gone 481 563 sailor 482 563 in 483 563 a 484 563 whale-ship 485 563 will 486 563 understand 487 563 this; 488 563 and 489 563 all 490 563 this 491 563 and 492 563 doubtless 493 563 much 494 563 more, 495 563 the 496 563 Lakeman 497 563 fully 498 563 comprehended 499 563 when 500 563 the 501 563 mate 502 563 uttered 503 563 his 504 563 command. 505 563 But 506 563 as 507 563 he 508 563 sat 509 563 still 510 563 for 511 563 a 512 563 moment, 513 563 and 514 563 as 515 563 he 516 563 steadfastly 517 563 looked 518 563 into 519 563 the 520 563 mate's 521 563 malignant 522 563 eye 523 563 and 524 563 perceived 525 563 the 526 563 stacks 527 563 of 528 563 powder-casks 529 563 heaped 530 563 up 531 563 in 532 563 him 533 563 and 534 563 the 535 563 slow-match 536 563 silently 537 563 burning 538 563 along 539 563 towards 540 563 them; 541 563 as 542 563 he 543 563 instinctively 544 563 saw 545 563 all 546 563 this, 547 563 that 548 563 strange 549 563 forbearance 550 563 and 551 563 unwillingness 552 563 to 553 563 stir 554 563 up 555 563 the 556 563 deeper 557 563 passionateness 558 563 in 559 563 any 560 563 already 561 563 ireful 562 563 being--a 1 564 repugnance 5 564 most 7 564 felt, 11 564 when 13 564 felt 17 564 at 19 564 all, 23 564 by 25 564 really 29 564 valiant 31 564 men 35 564 even 37 564 when 41 564 aggrieved--this 43 564 nameless 49 564 phantom 53 564 feeling, 55 564 gentlemen, 59 564 stole 61 564 over 65 564 Steelkilt. 67 564 "Therefore, 71 564 in 73 564 his 77 564 ordinary 79 564 tone, 83 564 only 85 564 a 89 564 little 91 564 broken 95 564 by 97 564 the 101 564 bodily 103 564 exhaustion 107 564 he 109 564 was 113 564 temporarily 115 564 in, 119 564 he 121 564 answered 125 564 him 127 564 saying 131 564 that 133 564 sweeping 137 564 the 139 564 deck 143 564 was 145 564 not 149 564 his 151 564 business, 155 564 and 157 564 he 161 564 would 163 564 not 167 564 do 169 564 it. 173 564 And 175 564 then, 179 564 without 181 564 at 185 564 all 187 564 alluding 191 564 to 193 564 the 197 564 shovel, 199 564 he 203 564 pointed 205 564 to 209 564 three 211 564 lads 215 564 as 217 564 the 221 564 customary 223 564 sweepers; 227 564 who, 229 564 not 233 564 being 239 564 billeted 241 564 at 245 564 the 247 564 pumps, 251 564 had 253 564 done 257 564 little 259 564 or 263 564 nothing 265 564 all 269 564 day. 271 564 To 275 564 this, 277 564 Radney 281 564 replied 283 564 with 287 564 an 289 564 oath, 293 564 in 295 564 a 299 564 most 301 564 domineering 305 564 and 307 564 outrageous 311 564 manner 313 564 unconditionally 317 564 reiterating 319 564 his 323 564 command; 325 564 meanwhile 331 564 advancing 335 564 upon 337 564 the 341 564 still 343 564 seated 347 564 Lakeman, 349 564 with 353 564 an 355 564 uplifted 359 564 cooper's 361 564 club 365 564 hammer 367 564 which 371 564 he 373 564 had 377 564 snatched 379 564 from 383 564 a 385 564 cask 389 564 near 391 564 by. 395 564 "Heated 397 564 and 401 564 irritated 403 564 as 407 564 he 409 564 was 413 564 by 415 564 his 419 564 spasmodic 421 564 toil 425 564 at 427 564 the 431 564 pumps, 433 564 for 437 564 all 439 564 his 443 564 first 445 564 nameless 449 564 feeling 451 564 of 455 564 forbearance 457 564 the 461 564 sweating 463 564 Steelkilt 467 564 could 469 564 but 473 564 ill 475 564 brook 479 564 this 481 564 bearing 485 564 in 487 564 the 491 564 mate; 493 564 but 497 564 somehow 499 564 still 503 564 smothering 505 564 the 509 564 conflagration 511 564 within 515 564 him, 521 564 without 523 564 speaking 527 564 he 529 564 remained 533 564 doggedly 535 564 rooted 539 564 to 541 564 his 545 564 seat, 547 564 till 551 564 at 553 564 last 557 564 the 559 564 incensed 563 564 Radney 1 565 shook 2 565 the 3 565 hammer 4 565 within 6 565 a 7 565 few 8 565 inches 9 565 of 11 565 his 12 565 face, 13 565 furiously 14 565 commanding 16 565 him 17 565 to 18 565 do 19 565 his 21 565 bidding. 22 565 "Steelkilt 23 565 rose, 24 565 and 26 565 slowly 27 565 retreating 28 565 round 29 565 the 31 565 windlass, 32 565 steadily 33 565 followed 34 565 by 36 565 the 37 565 mate 38 565 with 39 565 his 41 565 menacing 42 565 hammer, 43 565 deliberately 44 565 repeated 46 565 his 47 565 intention 48 565 not 49 565 to 51 565 obey. 52 565 Seeing, 53 565 however, 54 565 that 56 565 his 57 565 forbearance 58 565 had 59 565 not 61 565 the 62 565 slightest 63 565 effect, 64 565 by 66 565 an 67 565 awful 68 565 and 69 565 unspeakable 71 565 intimation 72 565 with 73 565 his 74 565 twisted 76 565 hand 77 565 he 78 565 warned 79 565 off 81 565 the 82 565 foolish 83 565 and 84 565 infatuated 86 565 man; 87 565 but 88 565 it 89 565 was 91 565 to 92 565 no 93 565 purpose. 94 565 And 96 565 in 97 565 this 98 565 way 99 565 the 101 565 two 102 565 went 103 565 once 104 565 slowly 106 565 round 107 565 the 108 565 windlass; 109 565 when, 111 565 resolved 112 565 at 114 565 last 116 565 no 117 565 longer 118 565 to 119 565 retreat, 121 565 bethinking 122 565 him 123 565 that 124 565 he 126 565 had 127 565 now 128 565 forborne 129 565 as 131 565 much 132 565 as 133 565 comported 134 565 with 136 565 his 137 565 humor, 138 565 the 139 565 Lakeman 141 565 paused 142 565 on 143 565 the 144 565 hatches 146 565 and 147 565 thus 148 565 spoke 149 565 to 151 565 the 152 565 officer: 153 565 "'Mr. 154 565 Radney, 156 565 I 157 565 will 158 565 not 159 565 obey 161 565 you. 162 565 Take 163 565 that 164 565 hammer 166 565 away, 167 565 or 168 565 look 169 565 to 171 565 yourself.' 172 565 But 173 565 the 174 565 predestinated 176 565 mate 177 565 coming 178 565 still 179 565 closer 181 565 to 182 565 him, 183 565 where 184 565 the 186 565 Lakeman 187 565 stood 188 565 fixed, 189 565 now 191 565 shook 192 565 the 193 565 heavy 194 565 hammer 196 565 within 197 565 an 198 565 inch 199 565 of 201 565 his 202 565 teeth; 203 565 meanwhile 204 565 repeating 206 565 a 207 565 string 208 565 of 209 565 insufferable 211 565 maledictions. 212 565 Retreating 213 565 not 214 565 the 216 565 thousandth 217 565 part 218 565 of 219 565 an 221 565 inch; 222 565 stabbing 223 565 him 224 565 in 227 565 the 228 565 eye 229 565 with 231 565 the 232 565 unflinching 233 565 poniard 234 565 of 236 565 his 237 565 glance, 238 565 Steelkilt, 239 565 clenching 241 565 his 242 565 right 243 565 hand 244 565 behind 246 565 him 247 565 and 248 565 creepingly 249 565 drawing 251 565 it 252 565 back, 253 565 told 254 565 his 256 565 persecutor 257 565 that 258 565 if 259 565 the 261 565 hammer 262 565 but 263 565 grazed 264 565 his 266 565 cheek 267 565 he 268 565 (Steelkilt) 269 565 would 271 565 murder 272 565 him. 273 565 But, 274 565 gentlemen, 276 565 the 277 565 fool 278 565 had 279 565 been 281 565 branded 282 565 for 283 565 the 284 565 slaughter 286 565 by 287 565 the 288 565 gods. 289 565 Immediately 291 565 the 292 565 hammer 293 565 touched 294 565 the 296 565 cheek; 297 565 the 298 565 next 299 565 instant 301 565 the 302 565 lower 303 565 jaw 304 565 of 306 565 the 307 565 mate 308 565 was 309 565 stove 311 565 in 312 565 his 313 565 head; 314 565 he 316 565 fell 317 565 on 318 565

161 568 and 163 568 his 165 568 desperadoes 167 568 were 169 568 too 171 568 much 173 568 for 175 568 them 177 568 all; 179 568 they 181 568 succeeded 183 568 in 185 568 gaining 187 568 the 189 568 forecastle 191 568 deck, 193 568 where, 195 568 hastily 197 568 slewing 199 568 about 201 568 three 203 568 or 205 568 four 207 568 large 209 568 casks 211 568 in 215 568 a 217 568 line 219 568 with 221 568 the 223 568 windlass, 225 568 these 227 568 sea-Parisians 229 568 entrenched 231 568 themselves 233 568 behind 235 568 the 237 568 barricade. 239 568 "'Come 241 568 out 243 568 of 245 568 that, 247 568 ye 249 568 pirates!' 251 568 roared 253 568 the 255 568 captain, 257 568 now 259 568 menacing 261 568 them 263 568 with 265 568 a 267 568 pistol 269 568 in 271 568 each 273 568 hand, 275 568 just 277 568 brought 279 568 to 281 568 him 283 568 by 285 568 the 287 568 steward. 289 568 'Come 291 568 out 293 568 of 295 568 that, 297 568 ye 299 568 cut-throats!' 301 568 "Steelkilt 303 568 leaped 305 568 on 307 568 the 309 568 barricade, 311 568 and 313 568 striding 315 568 up 317 568 and 319 568 down 321 568 there, 323 568 defied 325 568 the 327 568 worst 329 568 the 331 568 pistols 333 568 could 335 568 do; 337 568 but 339 568 gave 341 568 the 343 568 captain 345 568 to 347 568 understand 349 568 distinctly, 351 568 that 353 568 his 357 568 (Steelkilt's) 359 568 death 361 568 would 363 568 be 365 568 the 367 568 signal 369 568 for 371 568 a 373 568 murderous 375 568 mutiny 377 568 on 379 568 the 381 568 part 383 568 of 385 568 all 387 568 hands. 389 568 Fearing 391 568 in 393 568 his 395 568 heart 397 568 lest 399 568 this 401 568 might 403 568 prove 405 568 but 407 568 too 409 568 true, 411 568 the 413 568 captain 415 568 a 417 568 little 419 568 desisted, 421 568 but 423 568 still 425 568 commanded 427 568 the 429 568 insurgents 431 568 instantly 433 568 to 435 568 return 437 568 to 439 568 their 441 568 duty. 443 568 "'Will 445 568 you 447 568 promise 449 568 not 451 568 to 453 568 touch 455 568 us, 457 568 if 459 568 we 461 568 do?' 463 568 demanded 465 568 their 467 568 ringleader. 469 568 "'Turn 471 568 to! 473 568 turn 475 568 to!--I 477 568 make 479 568

569 fierce 21 569 cheer 22 569 was 23 569 their 24 569 response. 25 569 "The 26 569 Lakeman 27 569 now 28 569 patrolled 29 569 the 30 569 barricade, 31 569 all 32 569 the 33 569 while 34 569 keeping 35 569 his 36 569 eye 37 569 on 38 569 the 39 569 Captain, 40 569 and 41 569 jerking 42 569 out 43 569 such 44 569 sentences 45 569 as 46 569 these:--'It's 47 569 not 48 569 our 49 569 fault; 50 569

236 569 round 237 569 him 238 569 a 239 569 moment, 240 569 and 241 569 then 242 569 said:--'I 243 569 tell 244 569 you 245 569 what 246 569 it 247 569 is 248 569 now, 249 569 Captain, 250 569 rather

obedience 328 569 to 329 569 Steelkilt, 330 569 they 331 569 preceded 332 569 him 333 569 down 334 569 into 335 569 their 336 569 dark 337 569 den, 338 569 growlingly 339 569 disappearing, 340 569 like 341 569 bears 342 569 into 343 569 a 344 569 cave. 345 569 "As 346 569 the 347 569 Lakeman's 348 569 bare 349 569 head 350 569 was 351 569 just 352 569 level 353 569 with 354 569 the 355 569

slide 370 569 of 371 569 the 372 569 scuttle, 373 569 planted 374 569 their 375 569 group 376 569 of 377 569 hands 378 569 upon 379 569 it, 380 569 and 381 569 loudly 382 569 called 383 569 for 384 569 the 385 569 steward 386 569 to 387 569 bring 388 569 the 389 569 heavy 390 569 brass 391 569 padlock 392 569 belonging 393 569 to 394 569 the 395 569 companionway. 396 569 Then 397 569 opening 398 569 the 399 569 slide 400 569 a 401 569 little, 402 569 the 403 569 Captain 404 569 whispered 405 569 something 406 569 down 407 569 the 408 569 crack, 409 569 closed 410 569 it, 411 569 and 412 569 turned 413 569 the 414 569 key 415 569 upon 416 569 them--ten 417 569 in 418 569 number--leaving 419 569 on 420 569 deck 421 569 some 422 569 twenty 423 569 or 424 569 more, 425 569 who 426 569 thus 427 569 far 428 569 had 429 569 remained 430 569 neutral. 431 569 "All 432 569 night 433 569 a 434 569 wide-awake 435 569 watch 436 569 was 437 569 kept 438 569 by 439 569 all 440 569 the 441 569 officers, 442 569 forward 443 569 and 444 569 aft, 445 569 especially 446 569 about 447 569 the 448 569 forecastle 449 569 scuttle 450 569 and 451 569 fore 452 569 hatchway; 453 569 at 454 569 which 455 569 last 456 569 place 457 569 it 458 569 was 459 569 feared 460 569 the 461 569 insurgents 462 569 might 463 569 emerge, 464 569 after 465 569 breaking 466 569 through 467 569 the 468 569 bulkhead 469 569 below. 470 569 But 471 569 the 472 569 hours 473 569 of 474 569 darkness 475 569 passed 476 569 in 477 569 peace; 478 569 the 479 569 men 480 569 who 481 569 still 482 569 remained 483 569 at 484 569 their 485 569 duty 486 569 toiling 487 569 hard 488 569 at 489 569 the 490 569 pumps, 491 569 whose 492 569 clinking 493 569 and 494 569 clanking 495 569 at 496 569 intervals 497 569 through 498 569 the 499 569 dreary 500 569 night 501 569 dismally 502 569 resounded 503 569 through 504 569 the 505 569 ship. 506 569 "At 507 569 sunrise 508 569 the 509 569 Captain 510 569 went 511 569 forward, 512 569 and 513 569 knocking 514 569 on 515 569 the 516 569 deck, 517 569 summoned 518 569 the 519 569 prisoners 520 569 to 521 569 work; 522 569 but 523 569 with 524 569 a 525 569 yell 526 569 they 527 569 refused. 528 569 Water 529 569 was 530 569 then 531 569 lowered 532 569 down 533 569 to 534 569 them, 535 569 and 536 569 a 537 569 couple 538 569 of 539 569 handfuls 540 569 of 541 569 biscuit 542 569 were 543 569 tossed 544 569 after 545 569 it; 546 569 when 547 569 again 548 569 turning 549 569 the 550 569 key 551 569 upon 552 569 them 553 569 and 554 569 pocketing 555 569 it, 556 569 the 557 569 Captain 558 569 returned 559 569 to 560 569 the 561 569 quarter-deck. 562 569 Twice 563 569 every 564 569 day 565 569 for 566 569 three 567 569 days 568 569 this 1 570 was 7 570 repeated; 11 570 but 13 570 on 17 570 the 23 570 fourth 29 570 morning 31 570 a 37 570 confused 41 570 wrangling, 43 570 and 47 570 then 49 570 a 53 570 scuffling 59 570 was 61 570 heard, 67 570 as 71 570 the 73 570 customary 77 570 summons 79 570 was 83 570 delivered; 89 570 and 91 570 suddenly 97 570 four 101 570 men 103 570 burst 107 570 up 109 570 from 113 570 the 119 570 forecastle, 121 570 saying 127 570 they 131 570 were 137 570 ready 139 570 to 143 570 turn 149 570 to. 151 570 The 157 570 fetid 161 570 closeness 163 570 of 167 570 the 169 570 air, 173 570 and 179 570 a 181 570 famishing 187 570 diet, 191 570 united 193 570 perhaps 197 570 to 199 570 some 203 570 fears 211 570 of 217 570 ultimate 221 570 retribution, 223 570 had 227 570 constrained 229 570 them 233 570 to 239 570 surrender 241 570 at 251 570 discretion. 253 570 Emboldened 257 570 by 259 570 this, 263 570 the 269 570 Captain 271 570 reiterated 277 570 his 281 570 demand 283 570 to 287 570 the 289 570 rest, 293 570 but 299 570 Steelkilt 301 570 shouted 307 570 up 311 570 to 313 570 him 317 570 a 319 570 terrific 329 570 hint 331 570 to 337 570 stop 341 570 his 343 570 babbling 347 570 and 349 570 betake 353 570 himself 359 570 where 367 570 he 371 570 belonged. 373 570 On 377 570 the 379 570 fifth 383 570 morning 389 570 three 391 570 others 397 570 of 401 570 the 403 570 mutineers 407 570 bolted 409 570 up 413 570 into 419 570 the 421 570 air 427 570 from 431 570 the 433 570 desperate 439 570 arms 443 570 below 449 570 that 451 570 sought 457 570 to 461 570 restrain 463 570 them. 467 570 Only 469 570 three 473 570 were 479 570 left. 481 570 "'Better 487 570 turn 491 570 to, 493 570 now?' 497 570 said 499 570 the 503 570 Captain 509 570 with 511 570 a 517 570 heartless 521 570 jeer. 523 570 "'Shut 527 570 us 529 570 up 533 570 again, 539 570 will 541 570 ye!' 547 570 cried 553 570 Steelkilt. 557 570 "'Oh 559 570 certainly,' 563 570 the 569 570 Captain, 1 571 and 2 571 the 3 571 key 4 571 clicked. 5 571 "It 6 571 was 7 571 at 8 571 this 9 571 point, 10 571 gentlemen, 11 571 that 12 571 enraged 13 571 by 14 571 the 15 571 defection 16 571 of 17 571 seven 18 571 of 19 571 his 20 571 former 21 571 associates, 22 571 and 23 571 stung 24 571 by 25 571 the 26 571 mocking 27 571 voice 28 571 that 29 571 had 30 571 last 31 571 hailed 32 571 him, 33 571 and 34 571 maddened 35 571 by 36 571 his 37 571 long 38 571 entombment 39 571 in 40 571 a 41 571 place 42 571 as 43 571 black 44 571 as 45 571 the 46 571 bowels 47 571 of 48 571 despair; 49 571 it 50 571 was 51 571 then 52 571 that 53 571 Steelkilt 54 571 proposed 55 571 to 56 571 the 57 571 two 58 571 Canallers, 59 571 thus 60 571 far 61 571 apparently 62 571 of 63 571 one 64 571 mind 65 571 with 66 571 him, 67 571 to 68 571 burst 69 571 out 70 571 of 71 571 their 72 571 hole 73 571 at 74 571 the 75 571 next 76 571 summoning 77 571 of 78 571 the 79 571 garrison; 80 571 and 81 571 armed 82 571 with 83 571 their 84 571 keen 85 571 mincing 86 571 knives 87 571 (long, 88 571 crescentic, 89 571 heavy 90 571 implements 91 571 with 92 571 a 93 571 handle 94 571 at 95 571 each 96 571 end) 97 571 run 98 571 amuck 99 571 from 100 571 the 101 571 bowsprit 102 571 to 103 571 the 104 571 taffrail; 105 571 and 106 571 if 107 571 by 108 571 any 109 571 devilishness 110 571 of 111 571 desperation 112 571 possible, 113 571 seize 114 571 the 115 571 ship. 116 571 For 117 571 himself, 118 571 he 119 571 would 120 571 do 121 571 this, 122 571 he 123 571 said, 124 571 whether 125 571 they 126 571 joined 127 571 him 128 571 or 129 571 not. 130 571 That 131 571 was 132 571 the 133 571 last 134 571 night 135 571 he 136 571 should 137 571 spend 138 571 in 139 571 that 140 571 den. 141 571 But 142 571 the 143 571 scheme 144 571 met 145 571 with 146 571 no 147 571 opposition 148 571 on 149 571 the 150 571 part 151 571 of 152 571 the 153 571 other 154 571 two; 155 571 they 156 571 swore 157 571 they 158 571 were 159 571 ready 160 571 for 161 571 that, 162 571 or 163 571 for 164 571 any 165 571 other 166 571 mad 167 571 thing, 168 571 for 169 571 anything 170 571 in 171 571 short 172 571 but 173 571 a 174 571 surrender. 175 571 And 176 571 what 177 571 was 178 571 more, 179 571 they 180 571 each 181 571 insisted 182 571 upon 183 571 being 184 571 the 185 571 first 186 571 man 187 571 on 188 571 deck, 189 571 when 190 571 the 191 571 time 192 571 to 193 571 make 194 571 the 195 571 rush 196 571 should 197 571 come. 198 571 But 199 571 to 200 571 this 201 571 their 202 571 leader 203 571 as 204 571 fiercely 205 571 objected, 206 571 reserving 207 571 that 208 571 priority 209 571 for 210 571 himself; 211 571 particularly 212 571 as 213 571 his 214 571 two 215 571 comrades 216 571 would 217 571 not 218 571 yield, 219 571 the 220 571 one 221 571 to 222 571 the 223 571 other, 224 571 in 225 571 the 226 571 matter; 227 571 and 228 571 both 229 571 of 230 571 them 231 571 could 232 571 not 233 571 be 234 571 first, 235 571 for 236 571 the 237 571 ladder 238 571 would 239 571 but 240 571 admit 241 571 one 242 571 man 243 571 at 244 571 a 245 571 time. 246 571 And 247 571 here, 248 571 gentlemen, 249 571 the 250 571 foul 251 571 play 252 571 of 253 571 these 254 571 miscreants 255 571 must 256 571 come 257 571 out. 258 571 "Upon 259 571 hearing 260 571 the 261 571 frantic 262 571 project 263 571 of 264 571 their 265 571 leader, 266 571 each 267 571 in 268 571 his 269 571 own 270 571 separate 271 571 soul 272 571 had 273 571 suddenly 274 571 lighted, 275 571 it 276 571 would 277 571 seem, 278 571 upon 279 571 the 280 571 same 281 571 piece 282 571 of 283 571 treachery, 284 571 namely: 285 571 to 286 571 be 287 571 foremost 288 571 in 289 571 breaking 290 571 out, 291 571 in 292 571 order 293 571 to 294 571 be 295 571 the 296 571 first 297 571 of 298 571 the 299 571 three, 300 571 though 301 571 the 302 571 last 303 571 of 304 571 the 305 571 ten, 306 571 to 307 571 surrender; 308 571 and 309 571 thereby 310 571 secure 311 571 whatever 312 571 small 313 571 chance 314 571 of 315 571 pardon 316 571 such 317 571 conduct 318 571 might 319 571 merit. 320 571 But 321 571 when 322 571 Steelkilt 323 571 made 324 571 known 325 571 his 326 571 determination 327 571 still 328 571 to 329 571 lead 330 571 them 331 571 to 332 571 the 333 571 last, 334 571 they 335 571 in 336 571 some 337 571 way, 338 571 by 339 571 some 340 571 subtle 341 571 chemistry 342 571 of 343 571 villany, 344 571 mixed 345 571 their 346 571 before 347 571 secret 348 571 treacheries 349 571 together; 350 571 and 351 571 when 352 571 their 353 571 leader 354 571 fell 355 571 into 356 571 a 357 571 doze, 358 571 verbally 359 571 opened 360 571 their 361 571 souls 362 571 to 363 571 each 364 571 other 365 571 in 366 571 three 367 571 sentences; 368 571 and 369 571 bound 370 571 the 371 571 sleeper 372 571 with 373 571 cords, 374 571 and 375 571 gagged 376 571 him 377 571 with 378 571 cords; 379 571 and 380 571 shrieked 381 571 out 382 571 for 383 571 the 384 571 Captain 385 571 at 386 571 midnight. 387 571 "Thinking 388 571 murder 389 571 at 390 571 hand, 391 571 and 392 571 smelling 393 571 in 394 571 the 395 571 dark 396 571 for 397 571 the 398 571 blood, 399 571 he 400 571 and 401 571 all 402 571 his 403 571 armed 404 571 mates 405 571 and 406 571 harpooneers 407 571 rushed 408 571 for 409 571 the 410 571 forecastle. 411 571 In 412 571 a 413 571 few 414 571 minutes 415 571 the 416 571 scuttle 417 571 was 418 571 opened, 419 571 and, 420 571 bound 421 571 hand 422 571 and 423 571 foot, 424 571 the 425 571 still 426 571 struggling 427 571 ringleader 428 571 was 429 571 shoved 430 571 up 431 571 into 432 571 the 433 571 air 434 571 by 435 571 his 436 571 perfidious 437 571 allies, 438 571 who 439 571 at 440 571 once 441 571 claimed 442 571 the 443 571 honour 444 571 of 445 571 securing 446 571 a 447 571 man 448 571 who 449 571 had 450 571 been 451 571 fully 452 571 ripe 453 571 for 454 571 murder. 455 571 But 456 571 all 457 571 these 458 571 were 459 571 collared, 460 571 and 461 571 dragged 462 571 along 463 571 the 464 571 deck 465 571 like 466 571 dead 467 571 cattle; 468 571 and, 469 571 side 470 571 by 471 571 side, 472 571 were 473 571 seized 474 571 up 475 571 into 476 571 the 477 571 mizzen 478 571 rigging, 479 571 like 480 571 three 481 571 quarters 482 571 of 483 571 meat, 484 571 and 485 571 there 486 571 they 487 571 hung 488 571 till 489 571 morning. 490 571 'Damn 491 571 ye,' 492 571 cried 493 571 the 494 571 Captain, 495 571 pacing 496 571 to 497 571 and 498 571 fro 499 571 before 500 571 them, 501 571 'the 502 571 vultures 503 571 would 504 571 not 505 571 touch 506 571 ye, 507 571 ye 508 571 villains!' 509 571 "At 510 571 sunrise 511 571 he 512 571 summoned 513 571 all 514 571 hands; 515 571 and 516 571 separating 517 571 those 518 571 who 519 571 had 520 571 rebelled 521 571 from 522 571 those 523 571 who 524 571 had 525 571 taken 526 571 no 527 571 part 528 571 in 529 571 the 530 571 mutiny, 531 571 he 532 571 told 533 571 the 534 571 former 535 571 that 536 571 he 537 571 had 538 571 a 539 571 good 540

to--justice 555 571 demanded 556 571 it; 557 571 but 558 571 for 559 571 the 560 571 present, 561 571 considering 562 571 their 563 571 timely 564 571 surrender, 565 571 he 566 571 would 567 571 let 568 571 them 569 571 go 570 571 with 1 572 a 3 572 reprimand, 5 572 which 7 572 he 9 572 accordingly 15 572 administered 17 572 in 19 572 the 21 572 vernacular. 23 572 "'But 25 572 as 27 572 for 29

might 109 572 to 111 572 the 113 572 backs 115 572 of 119 572 the 123 572 two 125 572 traitors, 127 572 till 129 572 they 131 572 yelled 133 572 no 135 572 more, 137 572 but 139 572 lifelessly 141 572 hung 145 572 their 147 572 heads 149 572 sideways, 151 572 as 153 572 the 155 572 two 157 572 crucified 159 572 thieves 161 572 are 163 572 drawn. 167 572 "'My 171 572 wrist 173 572 is 175 572 sprained 177 572 with 179 572 ye!' 181 572 he 183 572 cried, 185 572 at 189 572 last; 191 572 'but 193 572 there 197 572 is 199 572 still 201 572 rope 203 572 enough 205 572 left 207 572 for 211 572

let 249 572 us 251 572 hear 255 572 what 257 572 he 259 572 can 261 572 say 263 572 for 265 572 himself.' 267 572 "For 269 572 a 271 572 moment 277 572 the 279 572 exhausted 281 572 mutineer 283 572 made 285 572 a 287 572 tremulous 289 572 motion 291 572 of 293 572 his 295 572 cramped 301 572 jaws, 303 572 and 305 572 then 307 572 painfully 309 572 twisting 311 572 round 313 572 his 315 572 head, 317 572 said 321 572 in 323 572 a 327 572 sort 329 572 of 331 572 hiss, 333 572 'What 335 572 I 337 572 say 339 572 is 343 572 this--and 345 572 mind 347 572 it 349 572 well--if 353 572 you 355 572

Captain 393 572 drew 395 572 off 397 572 with 399 572 the 401 572 rope 405 572 to 409 572 strike. 411 572 "'Best 413 572 not,' 415 572 hissed 417 572 the 419 572 Lakeman. 421 572 "'But 423 572 I 425 572 must,'--and 427 572 the 431 572 rope 433 572 was 435 572 once 437 572 more 439 572 drawn 441 572 back 443 572 for 445 572 the 447 572 stroke. 449 572 "Steelkilt 453 572 here 457 572 hissed 459 572 out 461 572 something, 463 572 inaudible 465 572 to 467 572 all 469 572 but 471 572 the 475 572 Captain; 477 572 who, 479 572 to 483 572 the 485 572 amazement 487 572 of 489 572 all 491 572 hands, 493 572 started 497 572 back, 499 572 paced 501 572 the 503 572 deck 505 572 rapidly 509 572 two 511 572 or 513 572 three 515 572 times, 519 572 and 521 572 then 523 572 suddenly 525 572 throwing 527 572 down 529 572 his 531 572 rope, 535 572 said, 537 572 'I 541 572 won't 543 572 do 545 572 it--let 547 572 him 549 572 go--cut 551 572 him 553 572 down: 555 572 d'ye 557 572 hear?' 563 572 But 565 572 as 567 572 the 569 572 junior 571 572 mates 1 573 were 2 573 hurrying 4 573 to 5 573 execute 7 573 the 8 573 order, 10 573 a 11 573 pale 13 573 man, 14 573 with 16 573 a 17 573 bandaged 19 573 head, 20 573 arrested 22 573 them--Radney 23 573 the 25 573 chief 26 573 mate. 28 573 Ever 29 573 since 31 573 the 32 573 blow, 34 573 he 35 573 had 37 573 lain 38 573 in 40 573 his 41 573 berth; 43 573 but 44 573 that 46 573 morning, 47 573 hearing 49 573 the 50 573 tumult 52 573 on 53 573 the 55 573 deck, 56 573 he 58 573 had 59 573 crept 61 573 out, 62 573 and 64 573 thus 65 573 far 67 573 had 68 573 watched 70 573 the 71 573 whole 73 573 scene. 74 573 Such 76 573 was 77 573 the 79 573 state 80 573 of 82 573 his 83 573 mouth, 85 573 that 86 573 he 88 573 could 89 573 hardly 91 573 speak; 92 573 but 94 573 mumbling 95 573 something 97 573 about 98 573 his 100 573 being 101 573 willing 103 573 and 104 573 able 106 573 to 107 573 do 109 573 what 110 573 the 112 573 captain 113 573 dared 115 573 not 116 573 attempt, 118 573 he 119 573 snatched 121 573 the 122 573 rope 124 573 and 125 573 advanced 127 573 to 128 573 his 130 573 pinioned 131 573 foe. 133 573 "'You 134 573 are 136 573 a 137 573 coward!' 139 573 hissed 140 573 the 142 573 Lakeman. 143 573 "'So 145 573 I 146 573 am, 148 573 but 149 573 take 151 573 that.' 152 573 The 154 573 mate 155 573 was 157 573 in 158 573 the 160 573 very 161 573 act 163 573 of 164 573 striking, 166 573 when 167 573 another 169 573 hiss 170 573 stayed 172 573 his 173 573 uplifted 175 573 arm. 176 573 He 178 573 paused: 179 573 and 181 573 then 182 573 pausing 184 573 no 185 573 more, 187 573 made 188 573 good 190 573 his 193 573 word, 194 573 spite 196 573 of 197 573 Steelkilt's 199 573 threat, 200 573 whatever 202 573 that 203 573 might 205 573 have 206 573 been. 208 573 The 209 573 three 211 573 men 212 573 were 214 573 then 215 573 cut 217 573 down, 218 573 all 220 573 hands 221 573 were 223 573 turned 224 573 to, 226 573 and, 227 573 sullenly 229 573 worked 230 573 by 232 573 the 233 573 moody 235 573 seamen, 236 573 the 238 573 iron 239 573 pumps 241 573 clanged 242 573 as 244 573 before. 245 573 "Just 247 573 after 248 573 dark 250 573 that 251 573 day, 253 573 when 254 573 one 256 573 watch 257 573 had 259 573 retired 260 573 below, 262 573 a 263 573 clamor 265 573 was 266 573 heard 268 573 in 269 573 the 271 573 forecastle; 272 573 and 274 573 the 275 573 two 277 573 trembling 278 573 traitors 280 573 running 281 573 up, 283 573 besieged 284 573 the 286 573 cabin 287 573 door, 289 573 saying 290 573 they 292 573 durst 293 573 not 295 573 consort 296 573 with 298 573 the 299 573 crew. 301 573 Entreaties, 302 573 cuffs, 304 573 and 305 573 kicks 307 573 could 308 573 not 310 573 drive 311 573 them 313 573 back, 314 573 so 316 573 at 317 573 their 319 573 own 320 573 instance 322 573 they 323 573 were 325 573 put 326 573 down 328 573 in 329 573 the 331 573 ship's 332 573 run 334 573 for 335 573 salvation. 337 573 Still, 338 573 no 340 573 sign 341 573 of 343 573 mutiny 344 573 reappeared 346 573 among 347 573 the 349 573 rest. 350 573 On 352 573 the 353 573 contrary, 355 573 it 356 573 seemed, 358 573 that 359 573 mainly 361 573 at 362 573 Steelkilt's 364 573 instigation, 365 573 they 367 573 had 368 573 resolved 370 573 to 371 573 maintain 373 573 the 374 573 strictest 376 573 peacefulness, 377 573 obey 379 573 all 380 573 orders 383 573 to 385 573 the 386 573 last, 388 573 and, 389 573 when 391 573 the 392 573 ship 394 573 reached 395 573 port, 397 573 desert 398 573 her 400 573 in 401 573 a 403 573 body. 404 573 But 406 573 in 407 573 order 409 573 to 410 573 insure 412 573 the 413 573 speediest 415 573 end 416 573 to 418 573 the 419 573 voyage, 421 573 they 422 573 all 424 573 agreed 425 573 to 427 573 another 428 573 thing--namely, 430 573 not 431 573 to 433 573 sing 434 573 out 436 573 for 437 573 whales, 439 573 in 440 573 case 442 573 any 443 573 should 445 573 be 446 573 discovered. 448 573 For, 449 573 spite 451 573 of 452 573 her 454 573 leak, 455 573 and 457 573 spite 458 573 of 460 573 all 461 573 her 463 573 other 464 573 perils, 466 573 the 467 573 Town-Ho 469 573 still 470 573 maintained 472 573 her 473 573 mast-heads, 475 573 and 476 573 her 478 573 captain 479 573 was 481 573 just 482 573 as 484 573 willing 485 573 to 487 573 lower 488 573 for 490 573 a 491 573 fish 493 573 that 494 573 moment, 496 573 as 497 573 on 499 573 the 500 573 day 502 573 his 503 573 craft 505 573 first 506 573 struck 508 573 the 509 573 cruising 511 573 ground; 512 573 and 514 573 Radney 515 573 the 517 573 mate 518 573 was 520 573 quite 521 573 as 523 573 ready 524 573 to 526 573 change 527 573 his 529 573 berth 530 573 for 532 573 a 533 573 boat, 535 573 and 536 573 with 538 573 his 539 573 bandaged 541 573 mouth 542 573 seek 544 573 to 545 573 gag 547 573 in 548 573 death 550 573 the 551 573 vital 553 573 jaw 554 573 of 556 573 the 557 573 whale. 559 573 "But 560 573 though 562 573 the 563 573 Lakeman 565 573 had 566 573 induced 568 573 the 569 573 seamen 571 573 to 572 573 adopt 1 574 this 3 574 sort 5 574 of 9 574 passiveness 11 574 in 13 574 their 15 574 conduct, 17 574 he 19 574 kept 23 574 his 25 574 own 27 574 counsel 29 574 (at 31 574 least 33 574 till 37 574 all 39 574 was 43 574 over) 45 574 concerning 47 574 his 51 574 own 53 574 proper 55 574 and 57 574 private 59 574 revenge 61 574 upon 65 574 the 67 574 man 69 574 who 71 574 had 73 574 stung 75 574 him 79 574 in 81 574 the 83 574 ventricles 85 574 of 87 574 his 89 574 heart. 93 574 He 95 574 was 97 574 in 99 574 Radney 101 574 the 103 574 chief 107 574 mate's 109 574 watch; 111 574 and 113 574 as 115 574 if 117 574 the 121 574 infatuated 125 574 man 127 574 sought 129 574 to 131 574 run 135 574 more 137 574 than 139 574 half 141 574 way 143 574 to 145 574 meet 149 574 his 151 574 doom, 153 574 after 155 574 the 157 574 scene 159 574 at 163 574 the 165 574 rigging, 167 574 he 169 574 insisted, 171 574 against 173 574 the 177 574 express 179 574 counsel 181 574 of 183 574 the 185 574 captain, 187 574 upon 191 574 resuming 193 574 the 195 574 head 197 574 of 199 574 his 201 574 watch 207 574 at 209 574 night. 211 574 Upon 213 574 this, 215 574 and 219 574 one 221 574 or 223 574 two 225 574 other 227 574 circumstances, 229 574 Steelkilt 233 574 systematically 235 574 built 237 574 the 239 574 plan 241 574 of 243 574 his 247 574 revenge. 249 574 "During 251 574 the 253 574 night, 255 574 Radney 257 574 had 261 574 an 263 574 unseamanlike 265 574 way 267 574 of 269 574 sitting 271 574 on 275 574 the 277 574 bulwarks 279 574 of 281 574 the 283 574 quarter-deck, 285 574 and 289 574 leaning 291 574 his 293 574 arm 295 574 upon 297 574 the 299 574 gunwale 303 574 of 305 574 the 307 574 boat 309 574 which 311 574 was 313 574 hoisted 317 574 up 319 574 there, 321 574 a 323 574 little 325 574 above 327 574 the 331 574 ship's 333 574 side. 335 574 In 337 574 this 339 574 attitude, 341 574 it 345 574 was 347 574 well 349 574 known, 351 574 he 353 574 sometimes 355 574 dozed. 359 574 There 361 574 was 363 574 a 365 574 considerable 367 574 vacancy 373 574 between 375 574 the 377 574 boat 379 574 and 381 574 the 383 574 ship, 387 574 and 389 574 down 391 574 between 393 574 this 395 574 was 397 574 the 401 574 sea. 403 574 Steelkilt 405 574 calculated 407 574 his 409 574 time, 411 574 and 415 574 found 417 574 that 419 574 his 421 574 next 423 574 trick 425 574 at 429 574 the 431 574 helm 433 574 would 435 574 come 437 574 round 439 574 at 443 574 two 445 574 o'clock, 447 574 in 449 574 the 453 574 morning 457 574 of 459 574 the 461 574 third 463 574 day 465 574 from 467 574 that 471 574 in 473 574 which 475 574 he 477 574 had 479 574 been 481 574 betrayed. 485 574 At 487 574 his 489 574 leisure, 491 574 he 493 574 employed 495 574 the 499 574 interval 501 574 in 503 574 braiding 505 574 something 507 574 very 509 574 carefully 513 574 in 515 574 his 517 574 watches 519 574 below. 521 574 "'What 523 574 are 527 574 you 529 574 making 531 574 there?' 535 574 said 537 574 a 541 574 shipmate. 543 574 "'What 545 574 do 547 574 you 549 574 think? 551 574 what 555 574 does 557 574 it 559 574 look 561 574 like?' 563 574 "'Like 565 574 a 569 574 lanyard 571 574 for 573 574 your 1 575 bag; 2 575 but 3 575 it's 4 575 an 6 575 odd 7 575 one, 8 575 seems 9 575 to 11 575 me.' 12 575 'Yes, 13 575 rather 14 575 oddish,' 16 575 said 17 575 the 18 575 Lakeman, 19 575 holding 21 575 it 22 575 at 24 575 arm's 26 575 length 27 575 before 28 575 him; 29 575 'but 31 575 I 32 575 think 33 575 it 34 575 will 36 575 answer. 37 575 Shipmate, 38 575 I 39 575 haven't 41 575 enough 42 575 twine,--have 43 575 you 44 575 any?' 47 575 "But 48 575 there 49 575 was 51 575 none 52 575 in 53 575 the 54 575 forecastle. 56 575 "'Then 57 575 I 58 575 must 59 575 get 61 575 some 62 575 from 63 575 old 64 575 Rad;' 66 575 and 67 575 he 68 575 rose 71 575 to 72 575 go 73 575 aft. 74 575 "'You 76 575 don't 77 575 mean 78 575 to 79 575 go 81 575 a 82 575 begging 83 575 to 84 575 HIM!' 86 575 said 87 575 a 88 575 sailor. 89 575 "'Why 91 575 not? 93 575 Do 94 575 you 96 575 think 97 575 he 98 575 won't 99 575 do 101 575 me 102 575 a 103 575 turn, 104 575 when 106 575 it's 107 575 to 108 575 help 109 575 himself 111 575 in 112 575 the 113 575 end, 114 575 shipmate?' 116 575 and 117 575 going 118 575 to 119 575 the 121 575 mate, 122 575 he 123 575 looked 124 575 at 126 575 him 127 575 quietly, 128 575 and 129 575 asked 131 575 him 132 575 for 133 575 some 134 575 twine 136 575 to 137 575 mend 139 575 his 141 575 hammock. 142 575 It 143 575 was 144 575 given 146 575 him--neither 147 575 twine 148 575 nor 149 575 lanyard 151 575 were 152 575 seen 153 575 again; 154 575 but 156 575 the 157 575 next 158 575 night 159 575 an 162 575 iron 163 575 ball, 164 575 closely 166 575 netted, 167 575 partly 168 575 rolled 169 575 from 171 575 the 172 575 pocket 173 575 of 174 575 the 176 575 Lakeman's 177 575 monkey 178 575 jacket, 179 575 as 181 575 he 182 575 was 183 575 tucking 186 575 the 187 575 coat 188 575 into 189 575 his 191 575 hammock 192 575 for 193 575 a 194 575 pillow. 196 575 Twenty-four 197 575 hours 198 575 after, 199 575 his 201 575 trick 202 575 at 203 575 the 204 575 silent 206 575 helm--nigh 208 575 to 209 575 the 211 575 man 212 575 who 213 575 was 214 575 apt 216 575 to 217 575 doze 218 575 over 219 575 the 221 575 grave 222 575 always 223 575 ready 224 575 dug 226 575 to 227 575 the 228 575 seaman's 229

the 248 575 mate 249 575 was 251 575 already 252 575 stark 254 575 and 256 575 stretched 257 575 as 258 575 a 259 575 corpse, 261 575 with 262 575 his 263 575 forehead 264 575 crushed 266 575 in. 267 575 "But, 268 575 gentlemen, 269 575 a 271 575 fool 272 575 saved 273 575 the 274 575 would-be 277 575 murderer 278 575 from 279 575 the 281 575 bloody 282 575 deed 283 575 he 284 575 had 286 575 planned. 287 575 Yet 288 575 complete 289 575 revenge 291 575 he 292 575 had, 293 575 and 294 575 without 296 575 being 297 575 the 298 575 avenger. 301 575 For 302 575 by 303 575 a 304 575 mysterious

some 566 575 little 567 575 time 568 575 past 569 575 it 571 575 had 572 575 been 573 575 plainly 574 575 beheld 1 576 from 5 576 the 7 576 three 11 576 sullen 13 576 mast-heads. 17 576 All 19 576 was

harpooneers, 71 576 who, 73 576 undeterred 77 576 by 79 576 fearful 83 576 rumours, 85 576 were 89 576 all 91 576 anxious 95 576 to 97 576 capture 101 576 so 103 576 famous 107 576 and 109 576

beauty 155 576 of 157 576 the 161 576 vast 163 576 milky 167 576 mass, 169 576 that 173 576 lit 175 576 up 179 576 by 181 576 a 185 576 horizontal 187 576 spangling 191 576 sun, 193 576 shifted 197 576 and 199 576 glistened 203 576 like 205 576 a 209 576 living 211 576 opal 215 576 in 217 576 the 221 576 blue 223 576 morning 227 576 sea. 229 576 Gentlemen, 233 576 a 235 576 strange 239 576 fatality 241 576 pervades 245 576 the 247 576 whole 251 576 career 253 576 of 257 576 these 259 576 events, 263 576 as 265 576 if 269 576 verily 271 576 mapped 275 576 out 277 576 before 281 576 the 283 576 world 287 576 itself 289 576 was 293 576 charted. 295 576 The 299 576 mutineer 301 576 was 305 576 the 307 576 bowsman 311 576 of 313 576 the 317 576 mate, 319 576 and 323 576 when 325 576

with 377 576 his 379 576 lance 383 576 in 385 576 the 389 576 prow, 391 576 and 395 576 haul 397 576 in 401 576 or 403 576 slacken 407 576 the 409 576 line, 413 576 at 415 576 the 419 576 word 421 576 of 425 576 command. 427 576 Moreover, 431 576 when 433 576 the 437 576 four 439 576 boats 443 576 were 445 576 lowered, 449 576 the 451 576 mate's 455 576 got 457 576 the 461 576 start; 463 576 and 467 576 none 469 576 howled 473 576 more 475 576 fiercely 479 576 with 481 576 delight 485 576 than 487 576 did 491 576 Steelkilt, 493 576 as 497 576 he 499 576 strained 503 576 at 505 576 his 509 576 oar. 511 576 After 515 576 a 517 576 stiff 521 576 pull, 523 576 their 527 576 harpooneer 529 576 got 533 576 fast, 535 576 and, 539 576 spear 541 576 in 545 576 hand, 547 576 Radney 551 576 sprang 553 576 to 557 576 the 559 576 bow. 563 576 He 565 576 was 569 576 always 571 576 a 575 576 furious 1 577 man, 2 577 it 3 577 seems, 4 577 in 5 577 a 6 577 boat. 7 577 And 8 577 now 9 577 his 10 577 bandaged 11 577 cry 12 577 was, 13 577 to 14 577 beach 15 577 him 16 577 on 17 577 the 18 577 whale's 19 577 topmost 20 577 back. 21 577 Nothing 22 577 loath, 23 577 his 24 577 bowsman 25 577 hauled 26 577 him 27 577 up 28 577 and 29 577 up, 30 577 through 31 577 a 32 577 blinding 33 577 foam 34 577 that 35 577 blent 36 577 two 37 577 whitenesses 38 577 together; 39 577 till 40 577 of 41 577 a 42 577 sudden 43 577 the 44 577 boat 45 577 struck 46 577 as 47 577 against 48 577 a 49 577 sunken 50 577 ledge, 51 577 and 52 577 keeling 53 577 over, 54 577 spilled 55 577 out 56 577 the 57 577 standing 58 577 mate. 59 577 That 60 577 instant, 61 577 as 62 577 he 63 577 fell 64 577 on 65 577 the 66 577 whale's 67 577 slippery 68 577 back, 69 577 the 70 577 boat 71 577 righted, 72 577 and 73 577 was 74 577 dashed 75 577 aside 76 577 by 77 577 the 78 577 swell, 79 577 while 80 577 Radney 81 577 was 82 577 tossed 83 577 over 84 577 into 85 577 the 86 577 sea, 87 577 on 88 577 the 89 577 other 90 577 flank 91 577 of 92 577 the 93 577 whale. 94 577 He 95 577 struck 96 577 out 97 577 through 98 577 the 99 577 spray, 100 577 and, 101 577 for 102 577 an 103 577 instant, 104 577 was 105 577 dimly 106 577 seen 107 577 through 108 577 that 109 577 veil, 110 577 wildly 111 577 seeking 112 577 to 113 577 remove 114 577 himself 115 577 from 116 577 the 117 577 eye 118 577 of 119 577 Moby 120 577 Dick. 121 577 But 122 577 the 123 577 whale 124 577 rushed 125 577 round 126 577 in 127 577 a 128 577 sudden 129 577 maelstrom; 130 577 seized 131 577 the 132 577 swimmer 133 577 between 134 577 his 135 577 jaws; 136 577 and 137 577 rearing 138 577 high 139 577 up 140 577 with 141 577 him, 142 577 plunged 143 577 headlong 144 577 again, 145 577 and 146 577 went 147 577 down. 148 577 "Meantime, 149 577 at 150 577 the 151 577 first 152 577 tap 153 577 of 154 577 the 155 577 boat's 156 577 bottom, 157 577 the 158 577 Lakeman 159 577 had 160 577 slackened 161 577 the 162 577 line, 163 577 so 164 577 as 165 577 to 166 577 drop 167 577 astern 168 577 from 169 577 the 170 577 whirlpool; 171 577 calmly 172 577 looking 173 577 on, 174 577 he 175 577 thought 176 577 his 177 577 own 178 577 thoughts. 179 577 But 180 577 a 181 577 sudden, 182 577 terrific, 183 577 downward 184 577 jerking 185 577 of 186 577 the 187 577 boat, 188 577 quickly 189 577 brought 190 577 his 191 577 knife 192 577 to 193 577 the 194 577 line. 195 577 He 196 577 cut 197 577 it; 198 577 and 199 577 the 200 577 whale 201 577 was 202 577 free. 203 577 But, 204 577 at 205 577 some 206 577 distance, 207 577 Moby 208 577 Dick 209 577 rose 210 577 again, 211 577 with 212 577 some 213 577 tatters 214 577 of 215 577 Radney's 216 577 red 217 577 woollen 218 577 shirt, 219 577 caught 220 577 in 221 577 the 222 577 teeth 223 577 that 224 577 had 225 577 destroyed 226 577 him. 227 577 All 228 577 four 229 577 boats 230 577 gave 231 577 chase 232 577 again; 233 577 but 234 577 the 235 577 whale 236 577 eluded 237 577 them, 238 577 and 239 577 finally 240 577 wholly 241 577 disappeared. 242 577 "In 243 577 good 244 577 time, 245 577 the 246 577 Town-Ho 247 577 reached 248 577 her 249 577 port--a 250 577 savage, 251 577 solitary 252 577 place--where 253 577 no 254 577 civilized 255 577 creature 256 577 resided. 257 577 There, 258 577 headed 259 577 by 260 577 the 261 577 Lakeman, 262 577 all 263 577 but 264 577 five 265 577 or 266 577 six 267 577 of 268 577 the 269 577 foremastmen 270 577 deliberately 271 577 deserted 272 577 among 273 577 the 274 577 palms; 275 577 eventually, 276 577 as 277 577 it 278 577 turned 279 577 out, 280 577 seizing 281 577 a 282 577 large 283 577 double 284 577 war-canoe 285 577 of 286 577 the 287 577 savages, 288 577 and 289 577 setting 290 577 sail 291 577 for 292 577 some 293 577 other 294 577 harbor. 295 577 "The 296 577 ship's 297 577 company 298 577 being 299 577 reduced 300 577 to 301 577 but 302 577 a 303 577 handful, 304 577 the 305 577 captain 306 577 called 307 577 upon 308 577 the 309 577 Islanders 310 577 to 311 577 assist 312 577 him 313 577 in 314 577 the 315 577 laborious 316 577 business 317 577 of 318 577 heaving 319 577 down 320 577 the 321 577 ship 322 577 to 323 577 stop 324 577 the 325 577 leak. 326 577 But 327 577 to 328 577 such 329 577 unresting 330 577 vigilance 331 577 over 332 577 their 333 577 dangerous 334 577 allies 335 577 was 336 577 this 337 577 small 338 577 band 339 577 of 340 577 whites 341 577 necessitated, 342 577 both 343 577 by 344 577 night 345 577 and 346 577 by 347 577 day, 348 577 and 349 577 so 350 577 extreme 351 577 was 352 577 the 353 577 hard 354 577 work 355 577 they 356 577 underwent, 357 577 that 358 577 upon 359 577 the 360 577 vessel 361 577 being 362 577 ready 363 577 again 364 577 for 365 577 sea, 366 577 they 367 577 were 368 577 in 369 577 such 370 577 a 371 577 weakened 372 577 condition 373 577 that 374 577 the 375 577 captain 376 577 durst 377 577 not 378 577 put 379 577 off 380 577 with 381 577 them 382 577 in 383 577 so 384 577 heavy 385 577 a 386 577 vessel. 387 577 After 388 577 taking 389 577 counsel 390 577 with 391 577 his 392 577 officers, 393 577 he 394 577

heinousness 533 582 of 535 582 mistake. 539 582 Look 541 582 at 545 582 that 547 582 popular 551 582 work 553 582 "Goldsmith's 557 582 Animated 559 582 Nature." 563 582 In 565 582 the 569 582 abridged 571 582 London 575 582 edition 577 582 of 581 582 1807, 1 583 there 2 583 are 3 583 plates 4 583 of 5 583 an 6 583 alleged 7 583 "whale" 8 583 and 9 583 a 10 583 "narwhale." 12 583 I 13 583 do 14 583 not 15 583 wish 16 583 to 17 583 seem 18 583 inelegant, 19 583 but 20 583 this 21 583 unsightly 23 583 whale 24 583 looks 25 583 much 26 583 like 27 583 an 28 583 amputated 29 583 sow; 30 583 and, 31 583 as 32 583 for 34 583 the 35 583 narwhale, 36 583 one 37 583 glimpse 38 583 at 39 583 it 40 583 is 41 583 enough 42 583 to 43 583 amaze 45 583 one, 46 583 that 47 583 in 48 583 this 49 583 nineteenth 50 583 century 51 583 such 52 583 a 54 583 hippogriff 56 583 could 57 583 be 58 583 palmed 59 583 for 60 583 genuine 61 583 upon 62 583 any 63 583 intelligent 64 583 public 65 583 of 67 583 schoolboys. 68 583 Then, 69 583 again, 70 583 in 71 583 1825, 72 583 Bernard 73 583 Germain, 74 583 Count 75 583 de 76 583 Lacepede, 78 583 a 79 583 great 80 583 naturalist, 81 583 published 82 583 a 83 583 scientific 84 583 systemized 85 583 whale 86 583 book, 87 583 wherein 89 583 are 90 583 several 91 583 pictures 92 583 of 93 583 the 94 583 different 95 583 species 96 583 of 97 583 the 98 583 Leviathan. 100 583 All 101 583 these 102 583 are 103 583 not 104 583 only 105 583 incorrect, 107 583 but 108 583 the 109 583 picture 111 583 of 112 583 the 113 583 Mysticetus 114 583 or 115 583 Greenland 116 583 whale 117 583 (that 118 583 is 119 583 to 120 583 say, 122 583 the 123 583 Right 124 583 whale), 125 583 even 126 583 Scoresby, 127 583 a 128 583 long 129 583 experienced 130 583 man 131 583 as 133 583 touching 134 583 that 135 583 species, 136 583 declares 137 583 not 138 583 to 139 583 have 140 583 its 141 583 counterpart 142 583 in 144 583 nature. 145 583 But 146 583 the 147 583 placing 148 583 of 149 583 the 150 583 cap-sheaf 151 583 to 152 583 all 153 583 this 155 583 blundering 156 583 business 157 583 was 158 583 reserved 160 583 for 161 583 the 162 583 scientific 163 583 Frederick 164 583 Cuvier, 166 583 brother 167 583 to 168 583 the 169 583 famous 170 583 Baron. 171 583 In 172 583 1836, 173 583 he 174 583 published 175 583 a 177 583 Natural 178 583 History 179 583 of 180 583 Whales, 181 583 in 182 583 which 183 583 he 184 583 gives 185 583 what 186 583 he 188 583 calls 189 583 a 190 583 picture 191 583 of 192 583 the 193 583 Sperm 194 583 Whale. 195 583 Before 196 583 showing 197 583 that 199 583 picture 200 583 to 201 583 any 202 583 Nantucketer, 203 583 you 204 583 had 205 583 best 206 583 provide 207 583 for 208 583 your 210 583 summary 211 583 retreat 213 583 from 214 583 Nantucket. 215 583 In 216 583 a 217 583 word, 218 583 Frederick 219 583 Cuvier's 221 583 Sperm 222 583 Whale 223 583 is 224 583 not 225 583 a 226 583 Sperm 227 583 Whale, 228 583 but 229 583 a 230 583 squash. 232 583 Of 233 583 course, 234 583 he 235 583 never 236 583 had 237 583 the 238 583 benefit 239 583 of 240 583 a 241 583 whaling 243 583 voyage 244 583 (such 245 583 men 246 583 seldom 247 583 have), 248 583 but 249 583 whence 250 583 he 251 583 derived 252 583 that 254 583 picture, 255 583 who 256 583 can 257 583 tell? 258 583 Perhaps 259 583 he 260 583 got 261 583 it 262 583 as 263 583 his 266 583 scientific 267 583 predecessor 268 583 in 269 583 the 270 583 same 271 583 field, 272 583 Desmarest, 273 583 got 274 583 one 276 583 of 277 583 his 278 583 authentic 279 583 abortions; 280 583 that 281 583 is, 282 583 from 283 583 a 284 583 Chinese 285 583 drawing. 287 583 And 288 583 what 289 583 sort 290 583 of 291 583 lively 292 583 lads 293 583 with 294 583 the 295 583 pencil 296 583 those 298 583 Chinese 299 583 are, 300 583 many 301 583 queer 302 583 cups 303 583 and 304 583 saucers 305 583 inform 306 583 us. 307 583 As 309 583 for 310 583 the 311 583 sign-painters' 312 583 whales 313 583 seen 314 583 in 315 583 the 316 583 streets 317 583 hanging 320 583 over 321 583 the 322 583 shops 323 583 of 324 583 oil-dealers, 325 583 what 326 583 shall 327 583 be 328 583 said 329 583 of 331 583 them? 332 583 They 333 583 are 334 583 generally 335 583 Richard 336 583 III. 337 583 whales, 338 583 with 339 583 dromedary 340 583 humps, 342 583 and 343 583 very 344 583 savage; 345 583 breakfasting 346 583 on 347 583 three 348 583 or 349 583 four 350 583 sailor 351 583 tarts, 353 583 that 354 583 is 355 583 whaleboats 356 583 full 357 583 of 358 583 mariners: 359 583 their 360 583 deformities 361 583 floundering 362 583 in 364 583 seas 365 583 of 366 583 blood 367 583 and 368 583 blue 369 583 paint. 370 583 But 372 583 these 373 583 manifold 375 583 mistakes 376 583 in 377 583 depicting 378 583 the 379 583 whale 380 583 are 381 583 not 382 583 so 383 583 very 384 583 surprising 386 583 after 387 583 all. 388 583 Consider! 389 583 Most 390 583 of 391 583 the 392 583 scientific 393 583 drawings 394 583 have 395 583 been 397 583 taken 398 583 from 399 583 the 400 583 stranded 401 583 fish; 402 583 and 403 583 these 404 583 are 405 583 about 406 583 as 408 583 correct 409 583 as 410 583 a 411 583 drawing 412 583 of 413 583 a 414 583 wrecked 415 583 ship, 416 583 with 417 583 broken 419 583 back, 420 583 would 421 583 correctly 422 583 represent 423 583 the 425 583 noble 426 583 animal 427 583 itself 428 583 in 430 583 all 431 583 its 432 583 undashed 433 583 pride 434 583 of 435 583 hull 436 583 and 437 583 spars. 438 583 Though 439 583 elephants 441 583 have 442 583 stood 443 583 for 444 583 their 445 583 full-lengths, 446 583 the 447 583 living 448 583 Leviathan 449 583 has 450 583 never 452 583 yet 453 583 fairly 454 583 floated 455 583 himself 456 583 for 457 583 his 458 583 portrait. 459 583 The 460 583 living 461 583 whale, 463 583 in 464 583 his 465 583 full 466 583 majesty 467 583 and 468 583 significance, 469 583 is 470 583 only 471 583 to 472 583 be 474 583 seen 475 583 at 476 583 sea 478 583 in 479 583 unfathomable 480 583 waters; 481 583 and 482 583 afloat 483 583 the 485 583 vast 486 583 bulk 487 583 of 488 583 him 489 583 is 490 583 out 491 583 of 492 583 sight, 493 583 like 494 583 a 496 583 launched 497 583 line-of-battle 498 583 ship; 499 583 and 500 583 out 501 583 of 502 583 that 503 583 element 504 583 it 505 583 is 507 583 a 508 583 thing 509 583 eternally 510 583 impossible 511 583 for 512 583 mortal 513 583 man 514 583 to 515 583 hoist 516 583 him 518 583 bodily 519 583 into 520 583 the 521 583 air, 522 583 so 523 583 as 524 583 to 525 583 preserve 526 583 all 527 583 his 529 583 mighty 531 583 swells 532 583 and 533 583 undulations. 534 583 And, 535 583 not 536 583 to 537 583 speak 538 583 of 540 583 the 541 583 highly 542 583 presumable 543 583 difference 544 583 of 545 583 contour 546 583 between 547 583 a 548 583 young 549 583 sucking 551 583 whale 552 583 and 553 583 a 554 583 full-grown 555 583 Platonian 556 583 Leviathan; 557 583 yet, 558 583 even 559 583 in 560 583 the 562 583 case 563 583 of 564 583 one 565 583 of 566 583 those 567 583 young 568 583 sucking 569 583 whales 570 583 hoisted 571 583 to 573 583 a 574 583 ship's 575 583 deck, 576 583 such 577 583 is 578 583 then 579 583 the 580 583 outlandish, 581 583 eel-like, 582 583 limbered, 1 584 varying 3 584 shape 5 584 of 7 584 him, 9 584 that 11 584 his 13 584 precise 15 584 expression 17 584 the 19 584 devil 21 584 himself 23 584 could 25 584 not 27 584 catch. 29 584 But 31 584 it 33 584 may 35 584 be 37 584 fancied, 39 584 that 41 584 from 43 584 the 45 584 naked 47 584 skeleton 49 584 of 51 584 the 53 584 stranded 55 584 whale, 57 584 accurate 59 584 hints 61 584 may 63 584 be 65 584 derived 67 584 touching 69 584 his 71 584 true 75 584 form. 77 584 Not 79 584 at 81 584 all. 83 584 For 85 584 it 87 584 is 89 584 one 91 584 of 93 584 the 95 584 more 97 584 curious 99 584 things 101 584 about 103 584 this 105 584 Leviathan, 107 584 that 109 584 his 111 584 skeleton 113 584 gives 115 584 very 117 584 little 119 584 idea 121 584 of 123 584 his 125 584 general 127 584 shape. 129 584 Though 131 584 Jeremy 133 584 Bentham's 135 584 skeleton, 137 584 which 139 584 hangs 141 584 for 143 584 candelabra 145 584 in 147 584 the 149 584 library 151 584 of 153 584 one 155 584 of 157 584 his 159 584 executors, 161 584 correctly 163 584 conveys 165 584 the 167 584 idea 169 584 of 171 584 a 173 584 burly-browed 175 584 utilitarian 177 584 old 179 584 gentleman, 181 584 with 183 584 all 185 584 Jeremy's 187 584 other 189 584 leading 191 584 personal 193 584 characteristics; 195 584 yet 197 584 nothing 199 584 of 201 584 this 203 584 kind 205 584 could 207 584 be 209 584 inferred 211 584 from 213 584 any 215 584 leviathan's 217 584 articulated 221 584 bones. 223 584 In 225 584 fact, 227 584 as 229 584 the 231 584 great 233 584 Hunter 235 584 says, 237 584 the 239 584 mere 241 584 skeleton 243 584 of 245 584 the 247 584 whale 249 584 bears 251 584 the 253 584 same 255 584 relation 257 584 to 259 584 the 261 584 fully 263 584 invested 265 584 and 267 584 padded 269 584 animal 271 584 as 273 584 the 275 584 insect 277 584 does 279 584 to 281 584 the 283 584 chrysalis 285 584 that 287 584 so 289 584 roundingly 291 584 envelopes 293 584 it. 295 584 This 297 584 peculiarity 299 584 is 301 584 strikingly 303 584 evinced 305 584 in 307 584 the 309 584 head, 311 584 as 313 584 in 315 584 some 317 584 part 319 584 of 321 584 this 323 584 book 325 584 will 327 584 be 329 584 incidentally 331 584 shown. 333 584 It 335 584 is 337 584 also 339 584 very 341 584 curiously 343 584 displayed 345 584 in 347 584 the 349 584 side 351 584 fin, 353 584 the 355 584 bones 357 584 of 359 584 which 361 584 almost 363 584 exactly 367 584 answer 369 584 to 371 584 the 373 584 bones 375 584 of 377 584 the 379 584 human 381 584 hand, 383 584 minus 385 584 only 387 584 the 389 584 thumb. 391 584 This 393 584 fin 395 584 has 397 584 four 399 584 regular 401 584 bone-fingers, 403 584 the 405 584 index, 407 584 middle, 409 584 ring, 411 584 and 413 584 little 415 584 finger. 417 584 But 419 584 all 421 584 these 423 584 are 425 584 permanently 427 584 lodged 429 584 in 431 584 their 433 584 fleshy 435 584 covering, 437 584 as 439 584 the 441 584 human 443 584 fingers 445 584 in 447 584 an 449 584 artificial 451 584 covering. 453 584 "However 455 584 recklessly 457 584 the 459 584 whale 461 584 may 463 584 sometimes 465 584 serve 467 584 us," 469 584 said 471 584 humorous 473 584 Stubb 475 584 one 477 584 day, 479 584 "he 481 584 can 483 584 never 485 584 be 487 584 truly 489 584 said 491 584 to 493 584 handle 495 584 us 497 584 without 499 584 mittens." 501 584 For 503 584 all 505 584 these 507 584 reasons, 509 584 then, 513 584 any 515 584 way 517 584 you 519 584 may 521 584 look 523 584 at 525 584 it, 527 584 you 529 584 must 531 584 needs 533 584 conclude 535 584 that 537 584 the 539 584 great 541 584 Leviathan 543 584 is 545 584 that 547 584 one 549 584 creature 551 584 in 553 584 the 555 584 world 557 584 which 559 584 must 561 584 remain 563 584 unpainted 565 584 to 567 584 the 569 584 last. 571 584 True, 573 584 one 575 584 portrait 577 584 may 579 584 hit 581 584 the 583 584 mark 1 585 much 2 585 nearer 4 585 than 7

Durand." 577 587 One 578 587 of 579 587 them, 580 587 though 581 587 not 582 587 precisely 583 587 adapted 584 587 to 585 587 our 586 587 present 1 588 purpose, 5 588 nevertheless 11 588 deserves 13 588 mention 17 588 on 19 588 other 23 588 accounts. 25 588 It 29 588 is 31 588 a 37 588 quiet 41 588 noon-scene 43 588 among 47 588 the 53 588 isles 55 588 of 59 588 the 61 588 Pacific; 65 588 a 67

for 533 588 use; 535 588 three 541 588 oarsmen 545 588 are 547 588 just 551 588 setting 557 588 the 559 588 mast 563 588 in 565 588 its 569 588 hole; 571 588 while 575 588 from 577 588 a 583 588

representing 120 589 the 121 589 tragic 122 589 scene 123 589 in 125 589 which 126 589 he 127 589 lost 128 589 his 129 589 leg. 130 589 There 131 589 are 132 589 three 134 589 whales 135 589 and 136

589 the 353 589 skrimshandering 354 589 business. 355 589 But, 356 589 in 357 589 general, 358 589 they 359 589 toil 360 589 with 362 589 their 363 589 jack-knives 364 589 alone; 365 589 and, 366 589 with 367 589 that 368 589 almost 369 589 omnipotent 370 589 tool 371 589 of 373 589 the 374 589 sailor, 375 589 they 376 589 will 377 589 turn 378 589 you 379 589 out 381 589 anything 382 589 you 383

589 inevitably 398 589 restores 400 589 a 401 589 man 402 589 to 404 589 that 405 589 condition 406 589 in 407 589 which 408 589 God 409 589 placed 410 589 him, 411 589 i.e. 412 589 what 413 589 is

592 hunting 215 592 countries 217 592 of 219 592 India, 221 592 the 223 592 stranger 225 592 at 227 592 a 229 592 distance 231 592 will 233 592 sometimes 235 592 pass 237 592 on 239 592 the 241 592 plains 243 592 recumbent 245 592 elephants 247 592 without 249 592 knowing 251 592 them 253 592 to 255 592 be 257 592 such, 261 592 taking 263 592 them 265 592 for 267 592 bare, 269 592 blackened 271 592 elevations 273 592 of 275 592 the 277 592 soil; 279 592 even 281 592 so, 283 592 often, 285 592 with 287 592 him, 289 592 who 291 592 for 293 592 the 295 592 first 297 592 time 299 592 beholds 301 592 this 303 592 species 305 592 of 307 592 the 309 592 leviathans 311 592 of 313 592 the 315 592 sea. 317 592 And 319 592 even 321 592 when 323 592 recognised 325 592 at 327 592 last, 329 592 their 331 592 immense 335 592 magnitude 337 592 renders 339 592 it 341 592 very 343 592 hard 345 592 really 347 592 to 349 592 believe 351 592 that 353 592 such 355 592 bulky 357 592 masses 359 592 of 361 592 overgrowth 363 592 can 365 592 possibly 367 592 be 369 592 instinct, 371 592 in 373 592 all 375 592 parts, 377 592 with 379 592 the 381 592 same 383 592 sort 385 592 of 387 592 life 389 592 that 391 592 lives 393 592 in 395 592 a 397 592 dog 399 592 or 401 592 a 403 592 horse. 405 592 Indeed, 409 592 in 411 592 other 413 592 respects, 415 592 you 417 592 can 419 592 hardly 421 592 regard 423 592 any 425 592 creatures 427 592 of 429 592 the 431 592 deep 433 592 with 435 592 the 437 592 same 439 592 feelings 441 592 that 443 592 you 445 592 do 447 592 those 449 592 of 451 592 the 453 592 shore. 455 592 For 457 592 though 459 592 some 461 592 old 463 592 naturalists 465 592 have 467 592 maintained 469 592 that 471 592 all 473 592 creatures 475 592 of 477 592 the 479 592 land 483 592 are 485 592 of 487 592 their 489 592 kind 491 592 in 493 592 the 495 592 sea; 497 592 and 499 592 though 501 592 taking 503 592 a 505 592 broad 507 592 general 509 592 view 511 592 of 513 592 the 515 592 thing, 517 592 this 519 592 may 521 592 very 523 592 well 525 592 be; 527 592 yet 529 592 coming 531 592 to 533 592 specialties, 535 592 where, 537 592 for 539 592 example, 541 592 does 543 592 the 545 592 ocean 547 592 furnish 549 592 any 551 592 fish 553 592 that 557 592 in 559 592 disposition 561 592 answers 563 592 to 565 592 the 567 592 sagacious 569 592 kindness 571 592 of 573 592 the 575 592 dog? 577 592 The 579 592 accursed 581 592 shark 583 592 alone 585 592 can 587 592 in 589 592 any 591 592 generic 1 593 respect 2 593 be 3 593 said 4 593 to 5 593 bear 6 593 comparative 7 593 analogy 8 593 to 9 593 him. 10 593 But 11 593 though, 12 593 to 13 593 landsmen 14 593 in 15 593 general, 16 593 the 17 593 native 18 593 inhabitants 19 593 of 20 593 the 21 593 seas 22 593 have 23 593 ever 24 593 been 25 593 regarded 26 593 with 27 593 emotions 28 593 unspeakably 29 593 unsocial 30 593 and 31 593 repelling; 32 593 though 33 593 we 34 593 know 35 593 the 36 593 sea 37 593 to 38 593 be 39 593 an 40 593 everlasting 41 593 terra 42 593 incognita, 43 593 so 44 593 that 45 593 Columbus 46 593 sailed 47 593 over 48 593 numberless 49 593 unknown 50 593 worlds 51 593 to 52 593 discover 53 593 his 54 593 one 55 593 superficial 56 593 western 57 593 one; 58 593 though, 59 593 by 60 593 vast 61 593 odds, 62 593 the 63 593 most 64 593 terrific 65 593 of 66 593 all 67 593 mortal 68 593 disasters 69 593 have 70 593 immemorially 71 593 and 72 593 indiscriminately 73 593 befallen 74 593 tens 75 593 and 76 593 hundreds 77 593 of 78 593 thousands 79 593 of 80 593 those 81 593 who 82 593 have 83 593 gone 84 593 upon 85 593 the 86 593 waters; 87 593 though 88 593 but 89 593 a 90 593 moment's 91 593 consideration 92 593 will 93 593 teach, 94 593 that 95 593 however 96 593 baby 97 593 man 98 593 may 99 593 brag 100 593 of 101 593 his 102 593 science 103 593 and 104 593 skill, 105 593 and 106 593 however 107 593 much, 108 593 in 109 593 a 110 593 flattering 111 593 future, 112 593 that 113 593 science 114 593 and 115 593 skill 116 593 may 117 593 augment; 118 593 yet 119 593 for 120 593 ever 121 593 and 122 593 for 123 593 ever, 124 593 to 125 593 the 126 593 crack 127 593 of 128 593 doom, 129 593 the 130 593 sea 131 593 will 132 593 insult 133 593 and 134 593 murder 135 593 him, 136 593 and 137 593 pulverize 138 593 the 139 593 stateliest, 140 593 stiffest 141 593 frigate 142 593 he 143 593 can 144 593 make; 145 593 nevertheless, 146 593 by 147 593 the 148 593 continual 149 593 repetition 150 593 of 151 593 these 152 593 very 153 593 impressions, 154 593 man 155 593 has 156 593 lost 157 593 that 158 593 sense 159 593 of 160 593 the 161 593 full 162 593 awfulness 163 593 of 164 593 the 165 593 sea 166 593 which 167 593 aboriginally 168 593 belongs 169 593 to 170 593 it. 171 593 The 172 593 first 173 593 boat 174 593 we 175 593 read 176 593 of, 177 593 floated 178 593 on 179 593 an 180 593 ocean, 181 593 that 182 593 with 183 593 Portuguese 184 593 vengeance 185 593 had 186 593 whelmed 187 593 a 188 593 whole 189 593 world 190 593 without 191 593 leaving 192 593 so 193 593 much 194 593 as 195 593 a 196 593 widow. 197 593 That 198 593 same 199 593 ocean 200 593 rolls 201 593 now; 202 593 that 203 593 same 204 593 ocean 205 593 destroyed 206 593 the 207 593 wrecked 208 593 ships 209 593 of 210 593 last 211 593 year. 212 593 Yea, 213 593 foolish 214 593 mortals, 215 593 Noah's 216 593 flood 217 593 is 218 593 not 219 593 yet 220 593 subsided; 221 593 two 222 593 thirds 223 593 of 224 593 the 225 593 fair 226 593 world 227 593 it 228 593 yet 229 593 covers. 230 593 Wherein 231 593 differ 232 593 the 233 593 sea 234 593 and 235 593 the 236 593 land, 237 593 that 238 593 a 239 593 miracle 240 593 upon 241 593 one 242 593 is 243 593 not 244 593 a 245 593 miracle 246 593 upon 247 593 the 248 593 other? 249 593 Preternatural 250 593 terrors 251 593 rested 252 593 upon 253 593 the 254 593 Hebrews, 255 593 when 256 593 under 257 593 the 258 593 feet 259 593 of 260 593 Korah 261 593 and 262 593 his 263 593 company 264 593 the 265 593 live 266 593 ground 267 593 opened 268 593 and 269 593 swallowed 270 593 them 271 593 up 272 593

288 593 live 289 593 sea 290 593 swallows 291 593 up 292 593 ships 293 593 and 294 593 crews. 295 593 But 296 593 not 297 593 only 298 593 is 299 593 the 300 593 sea 301 593 such 302 593 a 303 593 foe 304 593 to 305 593 man 306 593 who 307 593 is 308 593 an 309 593 alien 310 593 to 311 593 it, 312 593 but 313 593 it 314 593 is 315 593 also 316 593 a 317 593 fiend 318 593 to 319 593 its 320 593 own 321 593 off-spring; 322 593 worse 323 593 than 324 593 the 325 593 Persian 326 593 host 327 593 who 328 593 murdered 329 593 his 330 593 own 331 593 guests; 332 593 sparing 333 593 not 334 593 the 335 593 creatures 336 593 which 337 593 itself 338 593 hath 339 593 spawned. 340 593 Like 341 593 a 342 593 savage 343 593 tigress 344 593 that 345 593 tossing 346 593 in 347 593 the 348 593 jungle 349 593 overlays 350 593 her 351 593 own 352 593 cubs, 353 593 so 354 593 the 355 593 sea 356 593 dashes 357 593 even 358 593 the 359 593 mightiest 360 593 whales 361 593 against 362 593 the 363 593 rocks, 364 593 and 365 593 leaves 366 593 them 367 593 there 368 593 side 369 593 by 370 593 side 371 593 with 372 593 the 373 593 split 374 593 wrecks 375 593 of 376 593 ships. 377 593 No 378 593 mercy, 379 593 no 380 593 power 381 593 but 382 593 its 383 593 own 384 593 controls 385 593 it. 386 593 Panting 387 593 and 388 593 snorting 389 593 like 390 593 a 391 593 mad 392 593 battle 393 593 steed 394 593 that 395 593 has 396 593 lost 397 593 its 398 593 rider, 399 593 the 400 593 masterless 401 593 ocean 402 593 overruns 403 593 the 404 593 globe. 405 593 Consider 406 593 the 407 593 subtleness 408 593 of 409 593 the 410 593 sea; 411 593 how 412 593 its 413 593 most 414 593 dreaded 415 593 creatures 416 593 glide 417 593 under 418 593 water, 419 593 unapparent 420 593 for 421 593 the 422 593 most 423 593 part, 424 593 and 425 593 treacherously 426 593 hidden 427 593 beneath 428 593 the 429 593 loveliest 430 593 tints 431 593 of 432 593 azure. 433 593 Consider 434 593 also 435

cannibalism 463 593 of 464 593 the 465 593 sea; 466 593 all 467 593 whose 468 593 creatures 469 593 prey 470 593 upon 471 593 each 472 593 other, 473 593 carrying 474 593 on 475 593 eternal 476 593 war 477 593 since 478 593 the 479 593 world 480 593 began. 481 593 Consider 482 593 all 483 593 this; 484 593 and 485 593 then 486 593 turn 487 593 to 488 593 this 489 593 green, 490 593 gentle, 491

not 507 593 find 508 593 a 509 593 strange 510 593 analogy 511 593 to 512 593 something 513 593 in 514 593 yourself? 515 593 For 516 593 as 517 593 this 518 593 appalling 519 593 ocean 520 593 surrounds 521 593 the 522 593 verdant 523 593 land, 524 593 so 525 593 in 526 593 the 527 593 soul 528 593 of 529 593 man 530 593 there 531 593 lies 532 593 one 533 593 insular 534 593 Tahiti, 535 593 full 536 593 of 537 593 peace 538 593 and 539 593 joy, 540 593 but 541 593 encompassed 542 593 by 543 593 all 544 593 the 545 593 horrors 546 593 of 547 593 the 548 593 half 549 593 known 550 593 life. 551 593 God 552 593 keep 553 593 thee! 554 593 Push 555 593 not 556 593 off 557 593 from 558 593 that 559 593 isle, 560 593 thou 561 593 canst 562 593 never 563 593 return! 564 593 CHAPTER 565

157 594 stillness 161 594 almost 163 594 preternatural 167 594 spread 169 594 over 173 594 the 175 594 sea, 179 594 however 181 594 unattended 185 594 with 191 594 any 193 594 stagnant 197 594 calm; 199 594 when 203 594 the 205 594 long 211 594 burnished 215 594 sun-glade 217 594 on 221 594 the 223 594 waters 227 594 seemed 229 594 a 233 594 golden 235 594 finger 239 594 laid 241 594 across 245 594 them, 247 594 enjoining 251 594 some 257 594 secrecy; 259 594 when 263 594 the 265 594 slippered 269 594 waves 271 594 whispered 277 594 together 281 594 as 283 594 they 287 594 softly 289 594 ran 293 594 on; 295 594 in 299 594 this 301 594 profound 305 594 hush 307 594 of 311 594 the 313 594 visible 317 594 sphere 323 594 a 325 594 strange 329 594 spectre 331 594 was 335 594 seen 337 594 by 343 594 Daggoo 347 594 from 349 594 the 353 594 main-mast-head. 355 594 In 359 594 the 361 594 distance, 365 594 a 367 594 great 371 594 white 373 594 mass 377 594 lazily 379 594 rose, 383 594 and 389 594 rising 391 594 higher 395 594 and 397 594 higher, 401 594 and 403 594 disentangling 409 594 itself 413 594 from 415 594 the 419 594 azure, 421 594 at 425 594 last 427 594 gleamed 431 594 before 433 594 our 437 594 prow 439 594 like 443 594 a 445 594 snow-slide, 449 594 new 455 594 slid 457 594 from 461 594 the 463 594 hills. 467 594 Thus 469 594 glistening 475 594 for 479 594 a 481 594 moment, 485 594 as 487 594 slowly 491 594 it 493 594 subsided, 497 594 and 499 594 sank. 503 594 Then 505 594 once 509 594 more 511 594 arose, 515 594 and 521 594 silently 523 594 gleamed. 527 594 It 529 594 seemed 533 594 not 535 594 a 541 594 whale; 545 594 and 547 594 yet 551 594 is 553 594 this 557 594 Moby 559 594 Dick? 563 594 thought 565 594 Daggoo. 569 594 Again 571 594 the 575 594 phantom 577 594 went 581 594 down, 587 594 but 589 594 on 593 594 re-appearing 1 595 once 2 595 more, 3 595 with 4 595 a 6 595 stiletto-like 8 595 cry 9 595 that 11 595 startled 12 595 every 13 595 man 16 595 from 18 595 his 19 595 nod, 22 595 the 23 595 negro 24 595 yelled 26 595 out--"There! 27 595 there 29 595 again! 31 595 there 32 595 she 33 595 breaches! 36 595 right 37 595 ahead! 38 595 The 39 595 White 41 595 Whale, 43 595 the 44 595 White 46 595 Whale!" 47 595 Upon 48 595 this, 52 595 the 53 595 seamen 54 595 rushed 57 595 to 58 595 the 59 595 yard-arms, 61 595 as 62 595 in 64 595 swarming-time 66 595 the 67 595 bees 69 595 rush 71 595 to 72 595 the 73 595 boughs. 74 595 Bare-headed 76 595 in 78 595 the 79 595 sultry 81 595 sun, 82 595 Ahab 83 595 stood 86 595 on 87 595 the 88 595 bowsprit, 89 595 and 92 595 with 93 595 one 94 595 hand 96 595 pushed 97 595 far 99 595 behind 101 595 in 103 595 readiness 104 595 to 106 595 wave 107 595 his 108 595 orders 109 595 to 111 595 the 113 595 helmsman, 114 595 cast 116 595 his 117 595 eager 118 595 glance 121 595 in 122 595 the 123 595 direction 124 595 indicated 127 595 aloft 128 595 by 129 595 the 131 595 outstretched 132 595 motionless 134 595 arm 137 595 of 138 595 Daggoo. 139 595 Whether 141 595 the 142 595 flitting 143 595 attendance 144 595 of 146 595 the 148 595 one 149 595 still 151 595 and 152 595 solitary 156 595 jet 157 595 had 158 595 gradually 159 595 worked 162 595 upon 163 595 Ahab, 164 595 so 166 595 that 167 595 he 169 595 was 171 595 now 172 595 prepared 173 595 to 174 595 connect 176 595 the 177 595 ideas 178 595 of 179 595 mildness 181 595 and 183 595 repose 184 595 with 186 595 the 188 595 first 191 595 sight 192 595 of 193 595 the 194 595 particular 197 595 whale 198 595 he 199 595 pursued; 201 595 however 202 595 this 206 595 was, 207 595 or 208 595 whether 209 595 his 211 595 eagerness 212 595 betrayed 213 595 him; 214 595 whichever 216 595 way 218 595 it 219 595 might 222 595 have 223 595 been, 226 595 no 227 595 sooner 228 595 did 229 595 he 232 595 distinctly 233 595 perceive 234 595 the 236 595 white 237 595 mass, 239 595 than 241 595 with 242 595 a 243 595 quick 244 595 intensity 246 595 he 247 595 instantly 248 595 gave 249 595 orders 251 595 for 253 595 lowering. 254 595 The 256 595 four 257 595 boats 258 595 were 261 595 soon 262 595 on 263 595 the 264 595 water; 267 595 Ahab's 268 595 in 269 595 advance, 271 595 and 274 595 all 276 595 swiftly 277 595 pulling 278 595 towards 279 595 their 281 595 prey. 282 595 Soon 283 595 it 284 595 went 286 595 down, 288 595 and 291 595 while, 292 595 with 293 595 oars 296 595 suspended, 297 595 we 298 595 were 299 595 awaiting 302 595 its 303 595 reappearance, 304 595 lo! 307 595 in 309 595 the 311 595 same 312 595 spot 313 595 where 314 595 it 316 595 sank, 317 595 once 318 595 more 319 595 it 321 595 slowly 324 595 rose. 326 595 Almost 327 595 forgetting 328 595 for 331 595 the 332 595 moment 333 595 all 334 595 thoughts 337 595 of 338 595 Moby 339 595 Dick, 341 595 we 342 595 now 344 595 gazed 346 595 at 347 595 the 348 595 most 349 595 wondrous 351 595 phenomenon 352 595 which 353 595 the 354 595 secret 356 595 seas 358 595 have 359 595 hitherto 361 595 revealed 362 595 to 363 595 mankind. 366 595 A 367 595 vast 368 595 pulpy 369 595 mass, 372 595 furlongs 373 595 in 376 595 length 377 595 and 379 595 breadth, 381 595 of 382 595 a 383 595 glancing 384 595 cream-colour, 386 595 lay 387 595 floating 388 595 on 389 595 the 393 595 water, 394 595 innumerable 396 595 long 397 595 arms 398 595 radiating 401 595 from 402 595 its 403 595 centre, 404 595 and 407 595 curling 409 595 and 411 595 twisting 412 595 like 414 595 a 416 595 nest 417 595 of 418 595 anacondas, 419 595 as 421 595 if 422 595 blindly 423 595 to 424 595 clutch 426 595 at 428 595 any 429 595 hapless 431 595 object 432 595 within 433 595 reach. 436 595 No 437 595 perceptible 438 595 face 439 595 or 443 595 front 444 595 did 446 595 it 447 595 have; 449 595 no 451 595 conceivable 452 595 token 453 595 of 454 595 either 456 595 sensation 457 595 or 458 595 instinct; 461 595 but 463 595 undulated 464 595 there 466 595 on 467 595 the 468 595 billows, 471 595 an 472 595 unearthly, 473 595 formless, 474 595 chance-like 477 595 apparition 478 595 of 479 595 life. 481 595 As 482 595 with 484 595 a 486 595 low 487 595 sucking 488 595 sound 489 595 it 491 595 slowly 492 595 disappeared 494 595 again, 496 595 Starbuck 498 595 still 499 595 gazing 501 595 at 502 595 the 503 595 agitated 506 595 waters 507 595 where 508 595 it 509 595 had 512 595 sunk, 513 595 with 514 595 a 516 595 wild 517 595 voice 519 595 exclaimed--"Almost 521 595 rather 522 595 had 523 595 I 524 595 seen 526 595 Moby 528 595 Dick 529 595 and 531 595 fought 533 595 him, 534 595 than 536 595 to 537 595 have 538 595 seen 541 595 thee, 542 595 thou 543 595 white 547 595 ghost!" 548 595 "What 549 595 was 551 595 it, 552 595 Sir?" 554 595 said 556 595 Flask. 557 595 "The 558 595 great 559 595 live 562 595 squid, 563 595 which, 564 595 they 566 595 say, 568 595 few 569 595 whale-ships 571 595 ever 572 595 beheld, 573 595 and 576 595 returned 577 595 to 579 595 their 582 595 ports 583 595 to 584 595 tell 586 595 of 587 595 it." 589 595 But 591 595 Ahab 592 595 said 593 595 nothing; 594 595 turning 1 596 his 3 596 boat, 5 596 he 7 596 sailed 9 596 back 11 596 to 13 596 the 15 596 vessel; 17 596 the 19 596 rest 21 596 as 23 596 silently 25 596 following. 27 596 Whatever 29 596 superstitions 31 596 the 33 596 sperm 35 596 whalemen 37 596 in 39 596 general 41 596 have 43 596 connected 45 596 with 47 596 the 49 596 sight 51 596 of 53 596 this 55 596 object, 57 596 certain 59 596 it 61 596 is, 63 596 that 65 596 a 67 596 glimpse 69 596 of 71 596 it 73 596 being 75 596 so 77 596 very 79 596 unusual, 81 596 that 83 596 circumstance 85 596 has 87 596 gone 89 596 far 91 596 to 93 596 invest 95 596 it 97 596 with 99 596 portentousness. 101 596 So 103 596 rarely 105 596 is 107 596 it 109 596 beheld, 111 596 that 113 596 though 115 596 one 117 596 and 119 596 all 121 596 of 123 596 them 125 596 declare 127 596 it 129 596 to 131 596 be 133 596 the 135 596 largest 137 596 animated 139 596 thing 141 596 in 143 596 the 145 596 ocean, 147 596 yet 151 596 very 153 596 few 155 596 of 157 596 them 159 596 have 161 596 any 163 596 but 165 596 the 167 596 most 169 596 vague 171 596 ideas 173 596 concerning 175 596 its 177 596 true 179 596 nature 181 596 and 183 596 form; 185 596 notwithstanding, 187 596 they 189 596 believe 191 596 it 193 596 to 195 596 furnish 197 596 to 199 596 the 201 596 sperm 203 596 whale 205 596 his 207 596 only 209 596 food. 211 596 For 213 596 though 215 596 other 217 596 species 219 596 of 221 596 whales 223 596 find 225 596 their 227 596 food 229 596 above 231 596 water, 233 596 and 235 596 may 237 596 be 239 596 seen 241 596 by 243 596 man 245 596 in 247 596 the 249 596 act 251 596 of 253 596 feeding, 255 596 the 257 596 spermaceti 259 596 whale 261 596 obtains 263 596 his 265 596 whole 267 596 food 269 596 in 271 596 unknown 273 596 zones 275 596 below 277 596 the 279 596 surface; 281 596 and 283 596 only 285 596 by 287 596 inference 289 596 is 291 596 it 293 596 that 295 596 any 297 596 one 299 596 can 301 596 tell 303 596 of 305 596 what, 307 596 precisely, 309 596 that 311 596 food 313 596 consists. 315 596 At 317 596 times, 319 596 when 321 596 closely 323 596 pursued, 325 596 he 327 596 will 329 596 disgorge 331 596 what 333 596 are 335 596 supposed 337 596 to 339 596 be 341 596 the 343 596 detached 345 596 arms 347 596 of 349 596 the 351 596 squid; 353 596 some 355 596 of 357 596 them 359 596 thus 361 596 exhibited 363 596 exceeding 365 596 twenty 367 596 and 369 596 thirty 371 596 feet 373 596 in 375 596 length. 377 596 They 379 596 fancy 381 596 that 383 596 the 385 596 monster 387 596 to 389 596 which 391 596 these 393 596 arms 395 596 belonged 397 596 ordinarily 399 596 clings 401 596 by 403 596 them 405 596 to 407 596 the 409 596 bed 411 596 of 413 596 the 415 596 ocean; 417 596 and 419 596 that 421 596 the 423 596 sperm 425 596 whale, 427 596 unlike 429 596 other 431 596 species, 433 596 is 435 596 supplied 437 596 with 439 596 teeth 441 596 in 443 596 order 445 596 to 449 596 attack 451 596 and 453 596 tear 455 596 it. 457 596 There 459 596 seems 461 596 some 463 596 ground 465 596 to 467 596 imagine 469 596 that 471 596 the 473 596 great 475 596 Kraken 477 596 of 479 596 Bishop 481 596 Pontoppodan 483 596 may 485 596 ultimately 487 596 resolve 489 596 itself 491 596 into 493 596 Squid. 495 596 The 497 596 manner 499 596 in 501 596 which 503 596 the 505 596 Bishop 507 596 describes 509 596 it, 511 596 as 513 596 alternately 515 596 rising 517 596 and 519 596 sinking, 521 596 with 523 596 some 525 596 other 527 596 particulars 529 596 he 531 596 narrates, 533 596 in 535 596 all 537 596 this 539 596 the 541 596 two 543 596 correspond. 545 596 But 547 596 much 549 596 abatement 551 596 is 553 596 necessary 555 596 with 557 596 respect 559 596 to 561 596 the 563 596 incredible 565 596 bulk 567 596 he 569 596 assigns 571 596 it. 573 596 By 575 596 some 577 596 naturalists 579 596 who 581 596 have 583 596 vaguely 585 596 heard 587 596 rumors 589 596 of 591 596 the 593 596 mysterious 595 596 creature, 1 597 here 2 597 spoken 4 597 of, 5 597 it 7 597 is 8 597 included 10 597 among 11 597 the 13 597 class 14 597 of 16 597 cuttle-fish, 17 597 to 19 597 which, 20 597 indeed, 22 597 in 23 597 certain 25 597 external 26 597 respects 28 597 it 29 597 would 31 597 seem 32 597 to 34 597 belong, 35 597 but 37 597 only 38 597 as 40 597 the 41 597 Anak 43 597 of 44 597 the 46 597 tribe. 47 597 CHAPTER 49 597 60 50 597 The

597 better 77 597 understanding 79 597 of 80 597 all 82 597 similar 83 597 scenes 85 597 elsewhere 86 597 presented, 88 597 I 89 597 have 91 597 here 92 597 to 94 597 speak 95 597 of 97 597 the 98 597 magical, 100 597 sometimes 101 597 horrible 103 597 whale-line. 104 597 The 106 597 line 107 597 originally 109 597 used 110 597 in 112 597 the 113 597 fishery 115 597 was 116 597 of 118 597 the 119 597 best 121 597 hemp, 122 597 slightly 124 597 vapoured 125 597 with 127 597 tar, 128 597 not 130 597 impregnated 131 597 with 133 597 it, 134 597 as 136 597 in 137 597 the 139 597 case 140 597 of 142 597 ordinary 143 597 ropes; 145 597 for 146 597 while 148 597 tar, 149 597 as 151 597 ordinarily 152 597 used, 154 597 makes 155 597 the 157 597 hemp 158 597 more 160 597 pliable 161 597 to 163 597 the 164 597 rope-maker, 166 597 and 167 597 also 169 597 renders 170 597 the 172 597 rope 173 597 itself 175 597 more 176 597 convenient 178 597 to 179 597 the 181 597 sailor 182 597 for 184 597 common 185 597 ship 187 597 use; 188 597 yet, 190 597 not 191 597 only 193 597 would 194 597 the 196 597 ordinary 197 597 quantity 200 597 too 202 597 much 203 597 stiffen 205 597 the 206 597 whale-line 208 597 for 209 597 the 211 597 close 212 597 coiling 214 597 to 215 597 which 217 597 it 218 597 must 220 597 be 221 597 subjected; 223 597 but 224 597 as 226 597 most 227 597 seamen 229 597 are 230 597 beginning 232 597 to 233 597 learn, 235 597 tar 236 597 in 238 597 general 239 597 by 241 597 no 242 597 means 244 597 adds 245 597 to 247 597 the 248 597 rope's 250 597 durability 251 597 or 253 597 strength, 254 597 however 256 597 much 257 597 it 259 597 may 260 597 give 262 597 it 263 597 compactness 265 597 and 266 597 gloss. 268 597 Of 269 597 late 271 597 years 272 597 the 274 597 Manilla 275 597 rope 277 597 has 278 597 in 280 597 the 281 597 American 283 597 fishery 284 597 almost 286 597 entirely 287 597 superseded 289 597 hemp 290 597 as 292 597 a 293 597 material 295 597 for 296 597 whale-lines; 298 597 for, 299 597 though 301 597 not 302 597 so 304 597 durable 305 597 as 307 597 hemp, 308 597 it 310 597 is 311 597 stronger, 313 597 and 314 597 far 316 597 more 317 597 soft 319 597 and 320 597 elastic; 322 597 and 323 597 I 325 597 will 326 597 add 328 597 (since 329 597 there 331 597 is 332 597 an 334 597 aesthetics 335 597 in 337 597 all 338 597

597 you 407 597 would 409 597 not 410 597 think 412 597 it 413 597 so 415 597 strong 416 597 as 418 597 it 419 597 really 421 597 is. 422 597 By 424 597 experiment 425 597 its 427 597 one 428 597 and

598 are 155 598 used 157 598 instead 159 598 of 163 598 one; 165 598 the 167 598 same 171 598 line 173 598 being 175 598 continuously 177 598 coiled 179 598 in 181 598 both 183 598 tubs. 185 598 There 187 598 is 189 598 some 191 598 advantage 193 598 in 197 598 this; 199 598 because 201 598 these 203 598 twin-tubs 205 598 being 209 598 so 211 598 small 213 598 they 215 598 fit 217 598 more 219 598 readily 223 598 into 225 598 the 227 598 boat, 229 598 and 231 598 do 233 598 not 235 598 strain 237 598 it 239 598 so 241 598 much; 243 598 whereas, 245 598 the 249 598 American 251 598 tub, 255 598

the 319 598 whale-boat 321 598 is 323 598 like 327 598 critical 329 598 ice, 331 598 which 333 598 will 335 598 bear 337 598 up 339 598 a 341 598 considerable 343 598 distributed 347 598 weight, 349 598 but 353 598 not 355 598 very 357 598 much 359 598 of 361 598 a 363 598 concentrated 365 598 one. 367 598 When 369 598 the 371 598 painted 373 598 canvas 375 598 cover 379 598 is 381 598 clapped 383 598 on 385 598 the 387 598 American 389 598 line-tub, 393 598 the 395 598 boat 397 598 looks 399 598 as 401 598 if 405 598 it 407 598 were 409 598 pulling 411 598 off 413 598 with 415 598 a 417

exposed; 451 598 the 453 598 lower 457 598 end 459 598 terminating 461 598 in 463 598 an 465 598 eye-splice 467 598 or 469 598 loop 471 598 coming 473 598 up 475 598 from 477 598 the 479 598 bottom

598 everything. 517 598 This 519 598 arrangement 521 598 of 523 598 the 525 598 lower 527 598 end 531 598 is 535 598 necessary 537 598 on 539 598 two 541 598 accounts. 543 598 First: 545 598 In 547 598 order 549 598 to 551 598 facilitate 553 598 the 555 598 fastening 557 598 to 561 598 it 563 598 of 565 598 an 567 598 additional 569 598 line 571 598 from 573 598 a 577 598 neighboring 579 598 boat, 581 598 in 583 598 case 587 598 the 589 598 stricken 591 598 whale 593 598 should 595 598 sound 597 598 so 1 599 deep 2 599 as 3 599 to 4 599 threaten 5 599 to 6 599 carry 7 599 off 8 599 the 9

indispensable 57 599 for 58 599 common 59 599 safety's 60 599 sake; 61 599 for 62 599 were 63 599 the 64 599 lower 65 599 end 66 599 of 67 599 the 68 599 line 69 599 in 70 599 any 71 599 way 72 599 attached 73 599 to 74 599 the 75 599 boat, 76 599 and 77 599 were 78 599 the 79 599 whale 80 599 then 81 599 to 82 599 run 83 599 the 84 599 line 85 599 out 86 599 to 87 599 the 88 599 end 89 599 almost 90 599 in 91 599 a 92 599 single, 93 599 smoking 94 599 minute 95 599 as 96 599 he 97 599 sometimes 98 599 does, 99 599 he 100 599 would 101 599 not 102 599 stop 103 599 there, 104 599 for 105 599 the 106 599 doomed 107 599 boat 108 599 would 109 599 infallibly 110 599 be 111 599 dragged 112 599 down 113 599 after 114 599 him 115 599 into 116 599 the 117 599 profundity 118 599 of 119 599 the 120 599 sea; 121 599 and 122 599 in 123 599 that 124 599 case 125 599 no 126 599 town-crier 127 599 would 128 599 ever 129 599 find 130 599 her 131 599 again. 132 599 Before 133 599 lowering 134 599 the 135 599 boat 136 599 for 137 599 the 138 599 chase, 139 599 the 140 599 upper 141 599 end 142 599 of 143 599 the 144 599 line 145 599 is 146 599 taken 147 599 aft 148 599 from 149 599 the 150

269 599 continues 270 599 its 271 599 way 272 599 to 273 599 the 274 599 gunwale 275 599 still 276 599 a 277 599 little 278 599 further 279 599 aft, 280 599 and 281 599 is 282 599 then 283 599 attached 284 599 to 285 599 the 286 599 short-warp--the 287 599 rope 288 599 which 289 599 is 290 599 immediately 291 599 connected 292 599 with 293 599 the 294 599 harpoon; 295 599 but 296 599 previous 297 599 to 298 599 that 299 599 connexion, 300 599 the 301 599 short-warp 302 599 goes 303 599 through 304 599 sundry 305 599 mystifications 306 599 too 307 599 tedious 308 599 to 309 599 detail. 310 599 Thus 311 599 the 312 599 whale-line 313 599 folds 314 599 the 315 599 whole 316 599 boat 317 599 in 318 599 its 319 599 complicated 320 599 coils, 321 599 twisting 322 599 and 323 599 writhing 324 599 around 325 599 it 326 599 in 327 599 almost 328 599 every 329 599 direction. 330 599 All 331 599 the 332 599 oarsmen 333 599 are 334 599 involved 335 599 in 336 599 its 337 599 perilous 338 599 contortions; 339 599 so 340 599 that 341 599 to 342 599 the 343 599 timid 344 599 eye 345 599 of 346 599 the 347 599 landsman, 348 599 they 349 599 seem 350 599 as 351 599 Indian 352 599 jugglers, 353 599 with 354 599 the 355 599 deadliest 356 599 snakes 357 599 sportively 358 599 festooning 359 599 their 360 599 limbs. 361 599 Nor 362 599 can 363 599 any 364 599 son 365 599 of 366 599 mortal 367 599 woman, 368 599 for 369 599 the 370 599 first 371 599 time, 372 599 seat 373 599 himself 374 599 amid 375 599 those 376 599 hempen 377 599 intricacies, 378 599 and 379 599 while 380 599 straining 381 599 his 382 599 utmost 383 599 at 384 599 the 385 599 oar, 386 599 bethink 387 599 him 388 599 that 389 599 at 390 599 any 391 599 unknown 392 599 instant 393 599 the 394 599 harpoon 395 599 may 396 599 be 397 599 darted, 398 599 and 399 599 all 400 599 these 401 599 horrible 402 599 contortions 403 599 be 404 599 put 405 599 in 406 599 play 407 599 like 408 599 ringed 409 599 lightnings; 410 599 he 411 599 cannot 412 599 be 413 599 thus 414 599 circumstanced 415 599 without 416 599 a 417 599 shudder 418 599 that 419 599 makes 420 599 the 421 599 very 422 599 marrow 423 599 in 424 599 his 425 599 bones 426 599 to 427 599 quiver 428 599 in 429 599 him 430 599 like 431 599 a 432 599 shaken 433 599 jelly. 434 599 Yet 435 599 habit--strange 436 599 thing! 437 599 what 438 599 cannot 439 599 habit 440 599 accomplish?--Gayer 441 599 sallies, 442 599 more 443 599 merry 444 599 mirth, 445 599 better 446 599 jokes, 447 599 and 448 599 brighter 449 599 repartees, 450 599 you 451 599 never 452 599 heard 453 599 over 454 599 your 455 599 mahogany, 456 599 than 457 599 you 458 599 will 459 599 hear 460 599 over 461 599 the 462 599 half-inch 463 599 white 464 599 cedar 465 599 of 466 599 the 467 599 whale-boat, 468 599 when 469 599 thus 470 599 hung 471 599 in 472 599 hangman's 473 599 nooses; 474 599 and, 475 599 like 476 599 the 477 599 six 478 599 burghers 479 599 of 480 599 Calais 481 599 before 482 599 King 483 599 Edward, 484 599 the 485 599 six 486 599 men 487 599 composing 488 599 the 489 599 crew 490 599 pull 491 599 into 492 599 the 493 599 jaws 494 599 of 495 599 death, 496 599 with 497 599 a 498 599 halter 499 599 around 500 599 every 501 599 neck, 502 599 as 503 599 you 504 599 may 505 599 say. 506 599 Perhaps 507 599 a 508 599 very 509 599 little 510 599 thought 511 599 will 512 599 now 513 599 enable 514 599 you 515 599 to 516 599 account 517 599 for 518 599 those 519 599 repeated 520 599 whaling 521 599 disasters--some 522 599 few 523 599 of 524 599 which 525 599 are 526 599 casually 527 599 chronicled--of 528 599 this 529 599 man 530 599 or 531 599 that 532 599 man 533 599 being 534 599 taken 535 599 out 536 599 of 537 599 the 538 599 boat 539 599 by 540 599 the 541 599 line, 542 599 and 543 599 lost. 544 599 For, 545 599 when 546 599 the 547 599 line 548 599 is 549 599 darting 550 599 out, 551 599 to 552 599 be 553 599 seated 554 599 then 555 599 in 556 599 the 557 599 boat, 558 599 is 559 599 like 560 599 being 561 599 seated 562 599 in 563 599 the 564 599 midst 565 599 of 566 599 the 567 599 manifold 568 599 whizzings 569 599 of 570 599 a 571 599 steam-engine 572 599 in 573 599 full 574 599 play, 575 599 when 576 599 every 577 599 flying 578 599 beam, 579 599 and 580 599 shaft, 581 599 and 582 599 wheel, 583 599 is 584 599 grazing 585 599 you. 586 599 It 587 599 is 588 599 worse; 589 599 for 590 599 you 591 599 cannot 592 599 sit 593 599 motionless 594 599 in 595 599 the 596 599 heart 597 599 of 598 599 these 1 600 perils, 7 600 because 11 600 the 13 600 boat 17 600 is 19 600 rocking 23 600 like 29 600 a 31 600 cradle, 37 600 and 41 600 you 43 600 are 47 600 pitched 49 600 one 53 600 way 59 600 and 61 600 the 67 600 other, 71 600 without 73 600 the 77 600 slightest 79 600 warning; 83 600 and 89 600 only 91 600 by 97 600 a 101 600 certain 103 600 self-adjusting 107 600 buoyancy 109 600 and 113 600 simultaneousness 119 600 of 121 600 volition 127 600 and 131 600 action, 133 600 can 137 600 you 139 600 escape 143 600 being 149 600 made 151 600 a 157 600 Mazeppa 161 600 of, 163 600 and 167 600 run 169 600 away 173 600 with 179 600 where 181 600 the 187 600 all-seeing 191 600 sun 193 600 himself 197 600 could 199 600 never 203 600 pierce 209 600 you 211 600 out. 217 600 Again: 221 600 as 223 600 the 227 600 profound 229 600 calm 233 600 which 239 600 only 241 600 apparently 247 600 precedes 251 600 and 253 600 prophesies 257 600 of 259 600 the 263 600 storm, 269 600 is 271 600 perhaps 277 600 more 281 600 awful 283 600 than 287 600 the 289 600 storm 293 600 itself; 299 600 for, 301 600 indeed, 307 600 the 311 600 calm 313 600 is 317 600 but 319 600 the 323 600 wrapper 329 600 and 331 600 envelope 337 600 of 341 600 the 343 600 storm; 347 600 and 349 600 contains 353 600 it 359 600 in 361 600 itself, 367 600 as 371 600 the 373 600 seemingly 377 600 harmless 379 600 rifle 383 600 holds 389 600 the 391 600 fatal 397 600 powder, 401 600 and 403 600 the 407 600 ball, 409 600 and 413 600 the 419 600 explosion; 421 600 so 427 600 the 431 600 graceful 433 600 repose 437 600 of 439 600 the 443 600 line, 449 600 as 451 600 it 457 600 silently 461 600 serpentines 463 600 about 467 600 the 469 600 oarsmen 473 600 before 479 600 being 481 600 brought 487 600 into 491 600 actual 493 600 play--this 497 600 is 499 600 a 503 600 thing 509 600 which 511 600 carries 517 600 more 521 600 of 523 600 true 527 600 terror 529 600 than 533 600 any 539 600 other 541 600 aspect 547 600 of 551 600 this 553 600 dangerous 557 600 affair. 559 600 But 563 600 why 569 600 say 571 600 more? 577 600 All 581 600 men 583 600 live 587 600 enveloped 589 600 in 593 600 whale-lines. 599 600 All 1 601 are 2 601 born 3 601 with 4 601 halters 5 601 round 6 601 their 7 601 necks; 8 601 but 9 601 it 10 601 is 11 601 only 12 601 when 13 601 caught 14 601 in 15 601 the 16 601 swift, 17 601 sudden 18 601 turn 19 601 of 20 601 death, 21 601 that 22 601 mortals 23 601 realize 24 601 the 25 601 silent, 26 601 subtle, 27 601 ever-present 28 601 perils 29 601 of 30 601 life. 31 601 And 32 601 if 33 601 you 34 601 be 35 601 a 36 601 philosopher, 37 601 though 38 601 seated 39 601 in 40 601 the 41 601 whale-boat, 42 601 you 43 601 would 44 601 not 45 601 at 46 601 heart 47 601 feel 48 601 one 49 601 whit 50 601 more 51 601 of 52 601 terror, 53 601 than 54 601 though 55 601 seated 56 601 before 57 601 your 58 601 evening 59 601 fire 60 601 with 61 601 a 62 601 poker, 63 601 and 64 601 not 65 601 a 66 601 harpoon, 67 601 by 68 601 your 69 601 side. 70 601 CHAPTER 71 601 61 72 601 Stubb 73 601 Kills 74 601 a 75 601 Whale. 76 601 If 77 601 to 78 601 Starbuck 79 601 the 80 601 apparition 81 601 of 82 601 the 83 601 Squid 84 601 was 85 601 a 86 601 thing 87 601 of 88 601 portents, 89 601 to 90 601 Queequeg 91 601 it 92 601 was 93 601 quite 94 601 a 95 601 different 96 601 object. 97 601 "When 98 601 you 99 601 see 100 601 him 101 601 'quid," 102 601 said 103 601 the 104 601 savage, 105 601 honing 106 601 his 107 601 harpoon 108 601 in 109 601 the 110 601 bow 111 601 of 112 601 his 113 601 hoisted 114 601 boat, 115 601 "then 116 601 you 117 601 quick 118 601 see 119 601 him 120 601 'parm 121 601 whale." 122 601 The 123 601 next 124 601 day 125 601 was 126 601 exceedingly 127 601 still 128 601 and 129 601 sultry, 130 601 and 131 601 with 132 601 nothing 133 601 special 134 601 to 135 601 engage 136 601 them, 137 601 the 138 601 Pequod's 139 601 crew 140 601 could 141 601 hardly 142 601 resist 143 601 the 144 601 spell 145 601 of 146 601 sleep 147 601 induced 148 601 by 149 601 such 150 601 a 151 601 vacant 152 601 sea. 153 601 For 154 601 this 155 601 part 156 601 of 157 601 the 158 601 Indian 159 601 Ocean 160 601 through 161 601 which 162 601 we 163 601 then 164 601 were 165 601 voyaging 166 601 is 167 601 not 168 601 what 169 601 whalemen 170 601 call 171 601 a 172 601 lively 173 601 ground; 174 601 that 175 601 is, 176 601 it 177 601 affords 178 601 fewer 179 601 glimpses 180 601 of 181 601 porpoises, 182 601 dolphins, 183 601 flying-fish, 184 601 and 185 601 other 186 601 vivacious 187 601 denizens 188 601 of 189 601 more 190 601 stirring 191 601 waters, 192 601 than 193 601 those 194 601 off 195 601 the 196 601 Rio 197 601 de 198 601 la 199 601 Plata, 200 601 or 201 601 the 202 601 in-shore 203 601 ground 204 601 off 205 601 Peru. 206 601 It 207 601 was 208 601 my 209 601 turn 210 601 to 211 601 stand 212 601 at 213 601 the 214 601 foremast-head; 215 601 and 216 601 with 217 601 my 218 601 shoulders 219 601 leaning 220 601 against 221 601 the 222 601 slackened 223 601 royal 224 601 shrouds, 225 601 to 226 601 and 227 601 fro 228 601 I 229 601 idly 230 601 swayed 231 601 in 232 601 what 233 601 seemed 234 601 an 235 601 enchanted 236 601 air. 237 601 No 238 601 resolution 239 601 could 240 601 withstand 241 601 it; 242 601 in 243 601 that 244 601 dreamy 245 601 mood 246 601 losing 247 601 all 248 601 consciousness, 249 601 at 250 601 last 251 601 my 252 601 soul 253 601 went 254 601 out 255 601 of 256 601 my 257 601 body; 258 601 though 259 601 my 260 601 body 261 601 still 262 601 continued 263 601 to 264 601 sway 265 601 as 266 601 a 267 601 pendulum 268 601 will, 269 601 long 270 601 after 271 601 the 272 601 power 273 601 which 274 601 first 275 601 moved 276 601 it 277 601 is 278 601 withdrawn. 279 601 Ere 280 601 forgetfulness 281 601 altogether 282 601 came 283 601 over 284 601 me, 285 601 I 286 601 had 287 601 noticed 288 601 that 289 601 the 290 601 seamen 291 601 at 292 601 the 293 601 main 294 601 and 295 601 mizzen-mast-heads 296 601 were 297 601 already 298 601 drowsy. 299 601 So 300 601 that 301 601 at 302 601 last 303 601 all 304 601 three 305 601 of 306 601 us 307 601 lifelessly 308 601 swung 309 601 from 310 601 the 311 601 spars, 312 601 and 313 601 for 314 601 every 315 601 swing 316 601 that 317 601 we 318 601 made 319 601 there 320 601 was 321 601 a 322 601 nod 323 601 from 324 601 below 325 601 from 326 601 the 327 601 slumbering 328 601 helmsman. 329 601 The 330 601 waves, 331 601 too, 332 601 nodded 333 601 their 334 601 indolent 335 601 crests; 336 601 and 337 601 across 338 601 the 339 601 wide 340 601 trance 341 601 of 342 601 the 343 601 sea, 344 601 east 345 601 nodded 346 601 to 347 601 west, 348 601 and 349 601 the 350 601 sun 351 601 over 352 601 all. 353 601 Suddenly 354 601 bubbles 355 601 seemed 356 601 bursting 357 601 beneath 358 601 my 359 601 closed 360 601 eyes; 361 601 like 362 601 vices 363 601 my 364 601 hands 365 601 grasped 366 601 the 367 601 shrouds; 368 601 some 369 601 invisible, 370 601 gracious 371 601 agency 372 601 preserved 373 601 me; 374 601 with 375 601 a 376 601 shock 377 601 I 378 601 came 379 601 back 380 601 to 381 601 life. 382 601 And 383 601 lo! 384 601 close 385 601 under 386 601 our 387 601 lee, 388 601 not 389 601 forty 390 601 fathoms 391 601 off, 392 601 a 393 601 gigantic 394 601 Sperm 395 601 Whale 396 601 lay 397 601 rolling 398 601 in 399 601 the 400 601 water 401 601 like 402 601 the 403 601 capsized 404 601 hull 405 601 of 406 601 a 407 601 frigate, 408 601 his 409 601 broad, 410 601 glossy 411 601 back, 412 601 of 413 601 an 414 601 Ethiopian 415 601 hue, 416 601 glistening 417 601 in 418 601 the 419 601 sun's 420 601 rays 421 601 like 422 601 a 423 601 mirror. 424 601 But 425 601 lazily 426 601 undulating 427 601 in 428 601 the 429 601 trough 430 601 of 431 601 the 432 601 sea, 433 601 and 434 601 ever 435 601 and 436 601 anon 437 601 tranquilly 438 601 spouting 439 601 his 440 601 vapoury 441 601 jet, 442 601 the 443 601 whale 444 601 looked 445 601 like 446 601 a 447 601 portly 448 601 burgher 449 601 smoking 450 601 his 451 601 pipe 452 601 of 453 601 a 454 601 warm 455 601 afternoon. 456 601 But 457 601 that 458 601 pipe, 459 601 poor 460 601 whale, 461 601 was 462 601 thy 463 601 last. 464 601 As 465 601 if 466 601 struck 467 601 by 468 601 some 469 601 enchanter's 470 601 wand, 471 601 the 472 601 sleepy 473 601 ship 474 601 and 475 601 every 476 601 sleeper 477 601 in 478 601 it 479 601 all 480 601 at 481 601 once 482 601 started 483 601 into 484 601 wakefulness; 485 601 and 486 601 more 487 601 than 488 601 a 489 601 score 490 601 of 491 601 voices 492 601 from 493 601 all 494 601 parts 495 601 of 496 601 the 497 601 vessel, 498 601 simultaneously 499 601 with 500 601 the 501 601 three 502 601 notes 503 601 from 504 601 aloft, 505 601 shouted 506 601 forth 507 601 the 508 601 accustomed 509 601 cry, 510 601 as 511 601 the 512 601 great 513 601 fish 514 601 slowly 515 601 and 516 601 regularly 517 601 spouted 518 601 the 519 601 sparkling 520 601 brine 521 601 into 522 601 the 523 601 air. 524 601 "Clear 525 601 away 526 601 the 527 601 boats! 528 601 Luff!" 529 601 cried 530 601 Ahab. 531 601 And 532 601 obeying 533 601 his 534 601 own 535 601 order, 536 601 he 537 601 dashed 538 601 the 539 601 helm 540 601 down 541 601 before 542 601 the 543 601 helmsman 544 601 could 545 601 handle 546 601 the 547 601 spokes. 548 601 The 549 601 sudden 550 601 exclamations 551 601 of 552 601 the 553 601 crew 554 601 must 555 601 have 556 601 alarmed 557 601 the 558 601 whale; 559 601 and 560 601 ere 561 601 the 562 601 boats 563 601 were 564 601 down, 565 601 majestically 566 601 turning, 567 601 he 568 601 swam 569 601 away 570 601 to 571 601 the 572 601 leeward, 573 601 but 574 601 with 575 601 such 576 601 a 577 601 steady 578 601 tranquillity, 579 601 and 580 601 making 581 601 so 582 601 few 583 601 ripples 584 601 as 585 601 he 586 601 swam, 587 601 that 588 601 thinking 589 601 after 590 601 all 591 601 he 592 601 might 593 601 not 594 601 as 595 601 yet 596 601 be 597 601 alarmed, 598 601 Ahab 599 601 gave 600 601 orders 1 602 that 3 602 not 5 602 an 9 602 oar 11 602 should 13 602 be 15 602 used, 17 602 and 19 602 no 23 602 man 25 602 must 27 602 speak 29 602 but 31 602 in 33 602 whispers. 37 602 So 39 602 seated 41 602 like 45 602 Ontario 47 602 Indians 51 602 on 53 602 the 55 602 gunwales 57 602 of 59 602 the 61 602 boats, 65 602 we 67 602 swiftly 69 602 but 71 602 silently 73 602 paddled 75 602 along; 79 602 the 81 602 calm 83 602 not 85 602 admitting 87 602 of 89 602 the 93 602 noiseless 95 602 sails 97 602 being 99 602 set. 101 602 Presently, 103 602 as 107 602 we 109 602 thus 111 602 glided 113 602 in 115 602 chase, 117 602 the 121 602 monster 123 602 perpendicularly 125 602 flitted 127 602 his 131 602 tail 135 602 forty 137 602 feet 139 602 into 141 602 the 143 602 air, 145 602 and 149 602 then 151 602 sank 153 602 out 155 602 of 157 602 sight 159 602 like 163 602 a 165 602 tower 167 602 swallowed 169 602 up. 171 602 "There 173 602 go 177 602 flukes!" 179 602 was 181 602 the 183 602 cry, 185 602 an 187 602 announcement 191 602 immediately 193 602 followed 195 602 by 197 602 Stubb's 199 602 producing 201 602 his 205 602 match 207 602 and 209 602 igniting 211 602 his 213 602 pipe, 219 602 for 221 602 now 223 602 a 225 602 respite 227 602 was 229 602 granted. 233 602 After 235 602 the 237 602 full 239 602 interval 241 602 of 243 602 his 247 602 sounding 249 602 had 251 602 elapsed, 253 602 the 255 602 whale 257 602 rose 261 602 again, 263 602 and 265 602 being 267 602 now 269 602 in 271 602 advance 275 602 of 277 602 the 279 602 smoker's 281 602 boat, 283 602 and 285 602 much 289 602 nearer 291 602 to 293 602 it 295 602 than 297 602 to 299 602 any 303 602 of 305 602 the 307 602 others, 309 602 Stubb 311 602 counted 313 602 upon 317 602 the 319 602 honour 321 602 of 323 602 the 325 602 capture. 327 602 It 331 602 was 333 602 obvious, 335 602 now, 337 602 that 339 602 the 341 602 whale 345 602 had 347 602 at 349 602 length 351 602 become 353 602 aware 355 602 of 359 602 his 361 602 pursuers. 363 602 All 365 602 silence 367 602 of 369 602 cautiousness 373 602 was 375 602 therefore 377 602 no 379 602 longer 381 602 of 383 602 use. 389 602 Paddles 391 602 were 393 602 dropped, 395 602 and 397 602 oars 401 602 came 403 602 loudly 405 602 into 407 602 play. 409 602 And 411 602 still 415 602 puffing 417 602 at 419 602 his 421 602 pipe, 423 602 Stubb 425 602 cheered 429 602 on 431 602 his 433 602 crew 435 602 to 437 602 the 439 602 assault. 443 602 Yes, 445 602 a 447 602 mighty 449 602 change 451 602 had 453 602 come 457 602 over 459 602 the 461 602 fish. 463 602 All 465 602 alive 467 602 to 471 602 his 475 602 jeopardy, 477 602 he 479 602 was 481 602 going 485 602 "head 487 602 out"; 489 602 that 491 602 part 493 602 obliquely 495 602 projecting 499 602 from 501 602 the 503 602 mad 505 602 yeast 507 602 which 509 602 he 513 602 brewed.* 515 602 *It 517 602 will 519 602 be 521 602 seen 523 602 in 527

602 whale's 565 602 enormous 569 602 head 571 602 consists. 573 602 Though 575 602 apparently 577 602 the 579 602 most 583 602 massive, 585 602 it 587 602 is 589 602 by 591 602 far 593 602 the 597 602

involve 314 607 a 315 607 slight 316 607 loss 317 607 of 318 607 speed 319 607 in 320 607 the 321 607 chase; 322 607 but 323 607 long 324 607 experience 325 607 in 326 607 various 327 607 whalemen 328

insure 374 607 the 375 607 greatest 376 607 efficiency 377 607 in 378 607 the 379 607 dart, 380 607 the 381 607 harpooneers 382 607 of 383 607 this 384 607 world 385 607 must 386 607 start 387 607 to

607 Crotch. 404 607 Out 405 607 of 406 607 the 407 607 trunk, 408 607 the 409 607 branches 410 607 grow; 411 607 out 412 607 of 413 607 them, 414 607 the 415 607 twigs. 416 607 So, 417 607 in 418 607 productive 419 607 subjects, 420 607 grow 421 607 the 422 607 chapters. 423 607 The 424 607 crotch 425 607 alluded 426 607 to 427 607 on 428 607 a 429 607 previous 430 607 page 431 607 deserves 432 607 independent 433 607 mention. 434 607 It 435 607 is 436 607 a 437 607 notched 438 607 stick 439 607 of 440 607 a 441 607 peculiar 442 607 form, 443 607 some 444 607 two 445 607 feet 446 607 in 447

461 607 purpose 462 607 of 463 607 furnishing 464 607 a 465 607 rest 466 607 for 467 607 the 468 607 wooden 469 607 extremity 470 607 of 471 607 the 472 607 harpoon, 473 607 whose 474 607 other 475 607 naked, 476 607 barbed 477 607 end 478 607 slopingly 479 607 projects 480 607 from 481 607 the 482 607 prow. 483 607 Thereby 484 607 the 485 607 weapon 486 607 is 487 607 instantly 488 607 at 489 607 hand 490 607 to 491 607 its 492 607 hurler, 493 607 who 494 607 snatches 495 607 it 496 607 up 497 607 as 498 607 readily 499 607 from 500 607 its 501 607 rest 502 607 as 503 607 a 504 607 backwoodsman 505 607 swings 506 607 his 507 607 rifle 508 607 from 509 607 the 510 607 wall. 511 607 It 512 607 is 513 607 customary 514 607 to 515 607 have 516 607 two 517 607 harpoons 518 607 reposing 519 607 in 520 607 the 521 607 crotch, 522 607 respectively 523 607 called 524 607 the 525 607 first 526 607 and 527 607 second 528 607 irons. 529 607 But 530 607 these 531 607 two 532 607 harpoons, 533 607 each 534 607 by 535 607 its 536 607 own 537 607 cord, 538 607 are 539 607 both 540 607 connected 541 607 with 542 607 the 543 607 line; 544 607 the 545 607 object 546 607 being 547 607 this: 548 607 to 549 607 dart 550 607 them 551 607 both, 552 607 if 553 607 possible, 554 607 one 555 607 instantly 556 607 after 557 607 the 558 607 other 559 607 into 560 607 the 561 607 same 562 607 whale; 563 607 so 564 607 that 565 607 if, 566 607 in 567 607 the 568 607 coming 569 607 drag, 570 607 one 571 607 should 572 607 draw 573 607 out, 574 607 the 575 607 other 576 607 may 577 607 still 578 607 retain 579 607 a 580 607 hold. 581 607 It 582 607 is 583 607 a 584 607 doubling 585 607 of 586 607 the 587 607 chances. 588 607 But 589 607 it 590 607 very 591 607 often 592 607 happens 593 607 that 594 607 owing 595 607 to 596 607 the 597 607 instantaneous, 598 607 violent, 599 607 convulsive 600 607 running 601 607 of 602 607 the 603 607 whale 604 607 upon 605 607 receiving 606 607 the 1 608 first 3 608 iron, 5 608 it 7 608 becomes 9 608 impossible 11 608 for 13 608 the 15 608 harpooneer, 17 608 however 21 608 lightning-like 23 608 in 25 608 his 27 608 movements, 29 608 to 31 608 pitch 33 608 the 35 608 second 37 608 iron 39 608 into 41 608 him. 43 608 Nevertheless, 45 608 as 47 608 the 49 608 second 51 608 iron 53 608 is 55 608 already 59 608 connected 61 608 with 63 608 the 65 608 line, 67 608 and 69 608 the 71 608 line 73 608 is 75 608 running, 77 608 hence 79 608 that 81 608 weapon 83 608 must, 85 608 at 87 608 all 89 608 events, 91 608 be 93 608 anticipatingly 97 608 tossed 99 608 out 101 608 of 103 608 the 105 608 boat, 107 608 somehow 109 608 and 111 608 somewhere; 113 608 else 115 608 the 117 608 most 119 608 terrible 121 608 jeopardy 123 608 would 125 608 involve 127 608 all 129 608 hands. 131 608 Tumbled 135 608 into 137 608 the 139 608 water, 141 608 it 143 608 accordingly 145 608 is 147 608 in 149 608 such 151 608 cases; 153 608 the 155 608 spare 157 608 coils 159 608 of 161 608 box 163 608 line 165 608 (mentioned 167 608 in 169 608 a 173 608 preceding 175 608 chapter) 177 608 making 179 608 this 181 608 feat, 183 608 in 185 608 most 187 608 instances, 189 608 prudently 191 608 practicable. 193 608 But 195 608 this 197 608 critical 199 608 act 201 608 is 203 608 not 205 608 always 207 608 unattended 211 608 with 213 608 the 215 608 saddest 217 608 and 219 608 most 221 608 fatal 223 608 casualties. 225 608 Furthermore: 227 608 you 229 608 must 231 608 know 233 608 that 235 608 when 237 608 the 239 608 second 241 608 iron 243 608 is 245 608 thrown 249 608 overboard, 251 608 it 253 608 thenceforth 255 608 becomes 257 608 a 259 608 dangling, 261 608 sharp-edged 263 608 terror, 265 608 skittishly 267 608 curvetting 269 608 about 271 608 both 273 608 boat 275 608 and 277 608 whale, 279 608 entangling 281 608 the 283 608 lines, 287 608 or 289 608 cutting 291 608 them, 293 608 and 295 608 making 297 608 a 299 608 prodigious 301 608 sensation 303 608 in 305 608 all 307 608 directions. 309 608 Nor, 311 608 in 313 608 general, 315 608 is 317 608 it 319 608 possible 321 608 to 325 608 secure 327 608 it 329 608

541 608 elucidate 543 608 several 545 608 most 547 608 important, 549 608 however 553 608 intricate 555 608 passages, 557 608 in 559 608 scenes 561 608 hereafter 563 608 to 565 608 be 567 608 painted. 569 608 CHAPTER 571 608 64 573 608 Stubb's 575 608 Supper. 577 608 Stubb's 579 608 whale 581 608 had 583 608 been 585 608 killed 587 608 some 591 608 distance 593 608 from 595 608 the 597 608 ship. 599 608 It 601 608 was 603 608 a 605 608 calm; 607 608 so, 1 609 forming 2 609 a 4 609 tandem 5 609 of 8 609 three 10 609 boats, 11 609 we 13 609 commenced 16 609 the 17 609 slow 19 609 business 20

349 609 not 352 609 come 353 609 forward 355 609 again 356 609 until 358 609 morning. 359 609 Though, 361 609 in 362 609 overseeing 365 609 the 367 609 pursuit 368 609 of 370 609 this 373 609 whale, 374 609 Captain 376 609 Ahab 379 609 had 380 609 evinced 382 609 his 383 609 customary 386 609 activity, 388 609 to 389 609 call 391 609 it 394 609 so; 395 609 yet 397 609 now 398 609 that 400 609 the 401 609 creature 403 609 was 404 609 dead, 407 609 some 409 609 vague 410 609 dissatisfaction, 412 609 or 415 609 impatience, 416 609 or 418 609 despair, 419 609 seemed 421 609 working 422 609 in 424 609 him; 425 609 as 428 609 if 430 609 the 431 609 sight 433 609 of 436 609 that 437 609 dead 439 609 body 440 609 reminded 442 609 him 443 609 that 445 609 Moby 446 609 Dick 449 609 was 451 609 yet 452 609 to 454 609 be 457 609 slain; 458 609 and 460 609 though 461 609 a 463 609 thousand 466 609 other 467 609 whales 470 609 were 472 609 brought 473 609 to 475 609 his 478 609 ship, 479 609 all

609 thrust 563 609 rattling 565 609 out 566 609 of 568 609 the 569 609 port-holes. 571 609 But 572 609 by 575 609 those 577 609 clanking 578 609 links, 583 609 the 584 609 vast 586 609 corpse 587 609

Englishmen, 430 617 who 431 617 long 432 617 ago 433 617 were 434 617 accidentally 435 617 left 436 617 in 437 617 Greenland 438 617 by 439 617 a 440 617 whaling 441 617 vessel--that 442 617 these 443

617 called 473 617 "fritters"; 474 617 which, 475 617 indeed, 476 617 they 477 617 greatly 478 617 resemble, 479 617 being 480 617 brown 481 617 and 482 617 crisp, 483 617 and 484 617 smelling 485 617 something 486 617 like 487 617 old 488 617 Amsterdam 489 617 housewives' 490 617 dough-nuts 491 617 or 492 617 oly-cooks, 493 617 when 494 617 fresh. 495 617 They 496 617 have 497 617 such 498 617 an

617 what 514 617 further 515 617 depreciates 516 617 the 517 617 whale 518 617 as 519 617 a 520 617 civilized 521 617 dish, 522 617 is 523 617 his 524 617 exceeding 525 617 richness. 526 617 He 527

319 618 a 323 618 dish 325 618 among 329 618 some 331 618 epicures; 335 618 and 337 618 every 341 618 one 343 618 knows 347 618 that 349 618 some 353 618 young 355 618 bucks 359 618 among 361 618 the 365 618 epicures, 367 618 by 371 618 continually 373 618 dining 377 618 upon 379 618 calves' 383 618 brains, 385 618 by 389 618 and 391 618 by 395 618 get 397 618 to 401 618 have 403 618 a 407 618 little 409 618 brains 413 618 of 415 618 their 419 618 own, 421 618 so 425 618 as 427 618 to 431 618 be 433 618 able 437 618 to 439 618 tell 443 618 a 445 618 calf's 449 618 head 451 618 from 455 618 their 457 618 own 461 618 heads; 463 618 which, 467 618 indeed, 469 618 requires 473 618 uncommon 475 618 discrimination. 479 618 And 481 618 that 485 618 is 487 618 the 491 618 reason 493 618 why 497 618 a 499 618 young 503 618 buck 505 618 with 509 618 an 511 618 intelligent 517 618 looking 521 618 calf's 523 618 head 527 618 before 529 618 him, 533 618 is 535 618 somehow 539 618 one 541 618 of

589 618 with 593 618 an 595 618 "Et 599 618 tu 601 618 Brute!" 605 618 expression. 607 618 It 611 618 is 613 618 not, 617 618 perhaps, 1 619 entirely 2 619 because 3 619 the 4 619 whale 5 619 is 6 619 so 7 619 excessively 8 619 unctuous 9 619 that 10 619 landsmen 11 619 seem 12 619 to 13 619 regard 14 619 the 15 619 eating 16 619 of 17 619 him 18 619 with 19 619 abhorrence; 20 619 that 21 619 appears 22 619 to 23 619 result, 24 619 in 25 619 some 26 619 way, 27 619 from 28 619 the 29 619 consideration 30 619 before 31 619 mentioned: 32 619 i.e. 33 619 that 34 619 a 35 619 man 36 619 should 37 619 eat 38 619 a 39 619 newly 40 619 murdered 41 619 thing 42 619 of 43 619 the 44 619 sea, 45 619 and 46 619 eat 47 619 it 48 619 too 49 619 by 50 619 its 51 619 own 52 619 light. 53 619 But 54 619 no 55 619 doubt 56 619 the 57 619 first 58 619 man 59 619 that 60 619 ever 61 619 murdered 62 619 an 63 619 ox 64 619 was 65 619 regarded 66 619 as 67 619 a 68 619 murderer; 69 619 perhaps 70 619 he 71 619 was 72 619 hung; 73 619 and 74 619 if 75 619 he 76 619 had 77 619 been 78 619 put 79 619 on 80 619 his 81 619 trial 82 619 by 83 619 oxen, 84 619 he 85 619 certainly 86 619 would 87 619 have 88 619 been; 89 619 and 90 619 he 91 619 certainly 92 619 deserved 93 619 it 94 619 if 95 619 any 96 619 murderer 97 619 does. 98 619 Go 99 619 to 100 619 the 101 619 meat-market 102 619 of 103 619 a

624 Whale 233 624 is 235 624 not 239 624 the 241 624 least 245 624 among 251 624 the 253 624 many 257 624 marvels 259 624 he 263 624 presents. 265 624 Almost 269 624 invariably 271 624 it 275 624 is 277 624 all 281 624 over 283 624 obliquely 287 624 crossed 289 624 and 293 624 re-crossed 295 624 with 301 624 numberless 305 624 straight 307 624 marks 311 624 in 313 624 thick 317 624 array, 319 624 something 323 624 like 329 624 those 331 624 in 335 624 the 337 624 finest 341 624 Italian 343 624 line 347 624 engravings. 349 624 But 353 624 these 355 624 marks 359 624 do 361 624 not 365 624 seem 367 624 to 371 624 be 373 624 impressed 379 624 upon 383 624 the 385 624 isinglass 389 624 substance 391 624 above 395 624 mentioned, 397 624 but 401 624 seem 407 624 to 409 624 be 413 624 seen 415 624 through 419 624 it, 421 624 as 425 624 if 427 624 they 431 624 were 433 624 engraved 437 624 upon 439 624 the 443 624 body 445 624 itself. 449 624 Nor 451 624 is 457 624 this 461 624 all. 463 624 In 467 624 some 469 624 instances, 473 624 to 475 624 the 479 624 quick, 485 624 observant 487 624 eye, 491 624 those 493 624 linear 497 624 marks, 499 624 as 503 624 in 505 624 a 509 624 veritable 511 624 engraving, 515 624 but 517 624 afford 521 624 the 523 624 ground 527 624 for 529 624 far 535 624 other 539 624 delineations. 541 624 These 545 624 are 547 624 hieroglyphical; 551 624 that 553 624 is, 557 624 if 563 624 you 565 624 call 569 624 those 571 624 mysterious 575 624 cyphers 577 624 on 581 624 the 583 624 walls 587 624 of 589 624 pyramids 593 624 hieroglyphics, 595 624 then 599 624 that 601 624 is 605 624 the 607 624 proper 613 624 word 617 624 to 619 624 use 623 624 in 1 625 the 2 625 present 3 625 connexion. 4 625 By 6 625 my 7 625 retentive 8 625 memory 9 625 of 11 625 the 12 625 hieroglyphics 13 625 upon 14 625 one 16 625 Sperm 17 625 Whale 18 625 in 19 625 particular, 21 625 I 22 625 was 23 625 much 24 625 struck 26 625 with 27 625 a 28 625 plate 29 625 representing 31 625 the 32 625 old 33 625 Indian 34 625 characters 36 625 chiselled 37 625 on 38 625 the 39 625 famous 41 625 hieroglyphic 42 625 palisades 43 625 on 44 625 the 46 625 banks 47 625 of 48 625 the 49 625 Upper 51 625 Mississippi. 52 625 Like 53 625 those 54 625 mystic 56 625 rocks, 57 625 too, 58 625 the 59 625 mystic-marked 61 625 whale 62 625 remains 63 625 undecipherable. 64 625 This 66 625 allusion 67 625 to 68 625 the 69 625 Indian 71 625 rocks 72 625 reminds 73 625 me 74 625 of 76 625 another 77 625 thing. 78 625 Besides 79 625 all 81 625 the 82 625 other 83 625 phenomena 84 625 which 86 625 the 87 625 exterior 88 625 of 89 625 the 91 625 Sperm 92 625 Whale 93 625 presents, 94 625 he 96 625 not 97 625 seldom 98 625 displays 99 625 the 101 625 back, 102 625 and 103 625 more 104 625 especially 106 625 his 107 625 flanks, 108 625 effaced 109 625 in 111 625 great 112 625 part 113 625 of 114 625 the 116 625 regular 117 625 linear 118 625 appearance, 119 625 by 121 625 reason 122 625 of 123 625 numerous 124 625 rude 126 625 scratches, 127 625 altogether 128 625 of 129 625 an 131 625 irregular, 132 625 random 133 625 aspect. 134 625 I 136 625 should 137 625 say 138 625 that 139 625 those 141 625 New 142 625 England 143 625 rocks 144 625 on 146 625 the 147 625 sea-coast, 148 625 which 149 625 Agassiz 151 625 imagines 152 625 to 153 625 bear 154 625 the 156 625 marks 157 625 of 158 625 violent 159 625 scraping 161 625 contact 162 625 with 163 625 vast 164 625 floating 166 625 icebergs--I 167 625 should 168 625 say, 169 625 that 171 625 those 172 625 rocks 173 625 must 174 625 not 176 625 a 177 625 little 178 625 resemble 179 625 the 181 625 Sperm 182 625 Whale 183 625 in 184 625 this 186 625 particular. 187 625 It 188 625 also 189 625 seems 191 625 to 192 625 me 193 625 that 194 625 such 196 625 scratches 197 625 in 198 625 the 199 625 whale 201 625 are 202 625 probably 203 625 made 204 625 by 206 625 hostile 207 625 contact 208 625 with 209 625 other 211 625 whales; 212 625 for 213 625 I 214 625 have 216 625 most 217 625 remarked 218 625 them 219 625 in 221 625 the 222 625 large, 223 625 full-grown 224 625 bulls 226 625 of 227 625 the 228 625 species. 229 625 A 231 625 word 232 625 or 233 625 two 234 625 more 236 625 concerning 237 625 this 238 625 matter 239 625 of 241 625 the 242 625 skin 243 625 or 244 625 blubber 246 625 of 247 625 the 248 625 whale. 249 625 It 251 625 has 252 625 already 253 625 been 254 625 said, 256 625 that 257 625 it 258 625 is 259 625 stript 261 625 from 262 625 him 263 625 in 264 625 long 266 625 pieces, 267 625 called 268 625 blanket-pieces. 269 625 Like 271 625 most 272 625 sea-terms, 273 625 this 274 625 one 276 625 is 277 625 very 278 625 happy 279 625 and 281 625 significant. 282 625 For 283 625 the 284 625 whale 286 625 is 287 625 indeed 288 625 wrapt 289 625 up 291 625 in 292 625 his 293 625 blubber 294 625 as 296 625 in 297 625 a 298 625 real 299 625 blanket 301 625 or 302 625 counterpane; 303 625 or, 304 625 still 306 625 better, 307 625 an 308 625 Indian 309 625 poncho 311 625 slipt 312 625 over 313 625 his 314 625 head, 316 625 and 317 625 skirting 318 625 his 319 625 extremity. 321 625 It 322 625 is 323 625 by 324 625 reason 326 625 of 327 625 this 328 625 cosy 329 625 blanketing 331 625 of 332 625 his 333 625 body, 334 625 that 336 625 the 337 625 whale 338 625 is 339 625

627 manner, 617 627 without 619 627 so 620 627 much 622 627 as 623 627 getting 625 627 one 626 627 single 1 628 peep 3 628 into 5 628 the 7 628 ever-contracting 9 628 gash 11 628 thus 13 628 made, 15 628 he 17 628 must 19 628 skilfully 21 628 steer 23 628 clear 25 628 of 27 628 all 29 628 adjacent, 31 628 interdicted 33 628 parts, 35 628 and 37 628 exactly 39 628 divide 41 628 the 43 628 spine 45

at 79 628 Stubb's 81 628 boast, 83 628 that 85 628 he 87 628 demanded 89 628 but 91 628 ten 93 628 minutes 95 628 to 97 628 behead 99 628 a 101 628 sperm 103 628 whale? 105 628 When 107 628 first 109

629 and 108 629 tell 109 629 us 110 629 the 112 629 secret 113 629 thing 114 629 that 115 629 is 116 629 in 117 629 thee. 118 629 Of 120 629 all 121 629 divers, 122 629 thou 123 629 hast 124 629 dived 125 629 the 126 629 deepest. 127 629 That 128 629 head 129 629 upon 130 629 which 131 629 the 132 629 upper 133 629 sun 134 629 now 135 629 gleams, 137 629 has 138 629 moved 139 629 amid 140 629 this 141 629 world's 142 629 foundations. 143 629 Where 144 629 unrecorded 145 629 names 146 629 and 147 629 navies 149 629 rust, 150 629 and 151 629 untold 152 629 hopes 154 629 and 155 629 anchors 156 629 rot; 157 629 where 158 629 in 159 629 her 160 629 murderous 161 629 hold 162 629 this 163 629 frigate 164 629 earth 165 629 is 166 629 ballasted 167 629 with 168 629 bones 169 629 of 171 629 millions 172 629 of 173 629 the 174 629 drowned; 175 629 there, 176 629 in 177 629 that 178 629 awful 179 629 water-land, 180 629 there 181 629 was 182 629 thy 183 629 most 184 629 familiar 186 629 home. 188 629 Thou 189 629 hast 190 629 been 191 629 where 192 629 bell 193 629 or 194 629 diver 195 629 never 196 629 went; 197 629 hast 198 629 slept 199 629 by 200 629 many 201 629 a 202 629 sailor's 203 629 side, 205 629 where 206 629 sleepless 207 629 mothers 208 629 would 209 629 give 210 629 their 211 629 lives 212 629 to 213 629 lay 214 629 them 215 629 down. 216 629 Thou 217 629 saw'st 218 629 the 219 629 locked 220 629 lovers 223 629 when 224 629 leaping 225 629 from 226 629 their 227 629 flaming 228 629 ship; 229 629 heart 230 629 to 231 629 heart 232 629 they 233 629 sank 234 629 beneath 235 629 the 236 629 exulting 237 629 wave; 239 629 true 240 629 to 241 629 each 242 629 other, 243 629 when 244 629 heaven 245 629 seemed 246 629 false 247 629 to 248 629 them. 249 629 Thou 250 629 saw'st 251 629 the 252 629 murdered 253 629 mate 254 629 when 256 629 tossed 257 629 by 258 629 pirates 260 629 from 261 629 the 262 629 midnight 263 629 deck; 264 629 for 265 629 hours 266 629 he 267 629 fell 268 629 into 269 629 the 270 629 deeper 271 629 midnight 273 629 of 274 629 the 275 629 insatiate 276 629 maw; 277 629 and 278 629 his 279 629 murderers 280 629 still 281 629 sailed 282 629 on 283 629 unharmed--while 284 629 swift 285 629 lightnings 286 629 shivered 287 629 the 288 629 neighboring 290 629 ship 291 629 that 292 629 would 293 629 have 294 629 borne 295 629 a 297 629 righteous 298 629 husband 299 629 to 300 629 outstretched, 301 629 longing 302 629 arms. 303 629 O 304 629 head! 305 629 thou 307 629 hast 308 629 seen 309 629 enough 310 629 to 311 629 split 312 629 the 313 629 planets 314 629 and 315 629 make 316 629 an 317 629 infidel 318 629 of 319 629 Abraham, 320 629 and 321 629 not 322 629 one 324 629 syllable 325 629 is 326 629 thine!" 327 629 "Sail 328 629 ho!" 329 629 cried 330 629 a 331 629 triumphant 332 629 voice 334 629 from 335 629 the 336 629 main-mast-head. 337 629 "Aye? 338 629 Well, 339 629 now, 341 629 that's 342 629 cheering," 343 629 cried 344 629 Ahab, 345 629 suddenly 346 629 erecting 347 629 himself, 348 629 while 349 629 whole 350 629 thunder-clouds 351 629 swept 352 629 aside 353 629 from 354 629 his 355 629 brow. 356 629 "That 358 629 lively 359 629 cry 360 629 upon 361 629 this 362 629 deadly 363 629 calm 364 629 might 365 629 almost 366 629 convert 367 629 a 368 629 better 369 629 man.--Where 371 629 away?" 372 629 "Three 373 629 points 375 629 on 376 629 the 377 629 starboard 378 629 bow, 379 629 sir, 380 629 and 381 629 bringing 382 629 down 383 629 her 384 629 breeze 385 629 to 386 629 us! 387 629 "Better 388 629 and 389 629 better, 390 629 man. 392 629 Would 393 629 now 394 629 St. 395 629 Paul 396 629 would 397 629 come 398 629 along 399 629 that 400 629 way, 401 629 and 402 629 to 403 629 my 404 629 breezelessness 405 629 bring 406 629 his 409 629 breeze! 410 629 O 411 629 Nature, 412 629 and 413 629 O 414 629 soul 415 629 of 416 629 man! 417 629 how 418 629 far 419 629 beyond 420 629 all 421 629 utterance 422 629 are 423 629 your 424 629 linked 426 629 analogies! 427 629 not 428 629 the 429 629 smallest 430 629 atom 431 629 stirs 432 629 or 433 629 lives 434 629 on 435 629 matter, 436 629 but 437 629 has 438 629 its 439 629 cunning 440 629 duplicate 441 629 in 443 629 mind." 445 629 CHAPTER 446 629 71 447 629 The 448 629 Jeroboam's 449 629 Story. 450 629 Hand 451 629 in 452 629 hand, 453 629 ship 454 629 and 455 629 breeze 456 629 blew 457 629 on; 458 629 but 460 629 the 461 629 breeze 462 629 came 463 629 faster 464 629 than 465 629 the 466 629 ship, 467 629 and 468 629 soon 469 629 the 470 629 Pequod 471 629 began 472 629 to 473 629 rock. 474 629 By 475 629 and 477 629 by, 478 629 through 479 629 the 480 629 glass 482 629 the 483 629 stranger's 484 629 boats 485 629 and 486 629 manned 487 629 mast-heads 488 629 proved 489 629 her 490 629 a 491 629 whale-ship. 492 629 But 494 629 as 495 629 she 496 629 was 497 629 so 498 629 far 499 629 to 500 629 windward, 501 629 and 502 629 shooting 503 629 by, 504 629 apparently 505 629 making 506 629 a 507 629 passage 508 629 to 509 629 some 511 629 other 512 629 ground, 513 629 the 514 629 Pequod 515 629 could 516 629 not 517 629 hope 519 629 to 520 629 reach 521 629 her. 522 629 So 523 629 the 524 629 signal 525 629 was 526 629 set 528 629 to 529 629 see 530 629 what 531 629 response 532 629 would 533 629 be 534 629 made. 535 629 Here 536 629 be 537 629 it 538 629 said, 539 629 that 540 629 like 541 629 the 542 629 vessels 543 629 of 545 629 military 546 629 marines, 547 629 the 548 629 ships 549 629 of 550 629 the 551 629 American 552 629 Whale 553 629 Fleet 554 629 have 556 629 each 557 629 a 558 629 private 559 629 signal; 560 629 all 562 629 which 563 629 signals 564 629 being 565 629 collected 566 629 in 567 629 a 568 629 book 569 629 with 570 629 the 571 629 names 572 629 of 573 629 the 574 629 respective 575 629 vessels 576 629 attached, 577 629 every 579 629 captain 580 629 is 581 629 provided 582 629 with 583 629 it. 584 629 Thereby, 585 629 the 586 629 whale 587 629 commanders 588 629 are 589 629 enabled 590 629 to 591 629 recognise 593 629 each 594 629 other 596 629 upon 597 629 the 598 629 ocean, 599 629 even 600 629 at 601 629 considerable 602 629 distances 603 629 and 604 629 with 605 629 no 606 629 small 607 629 facility. 608 629 The 609 629 Pequod's 610 629 signal 611 629 was 613 629 at 614 629 last 615 629 responded 616 629 to 617 629 by 618 629 the 619 629 stranger's 620 629 setting 621 629 her 622 629 own; 623 629 which 624 629 proved 625 629 the 626 629 ship 627 629 to 628 629 be 1 630 the 11 630 Jeroboam 13 630 of 17 630 Nantucket. 19 630 Squaring 23 630 her 29 630 yards, 31 630 she 37 630 bore 41 630 down, 43 630 ranged 47 630 abeam 53 630 under 59 630 the 61 630 Pequod's 67 630 lee, 71 630 and 73 630 lowered 79 630 a 83 630 boat; 89 630 it 97 630 soon 101 630 drew 103 630 nigh; 107 630 but, 109 630 as 113 630 the 121 630 side-ladder 127 630 was 131 630 being 137 630 rigged 139 630 by 143 630 Starbuck's 149 630 order 151 630 to 157 630 accommodate 163 630 the 167 630 visiting 169 630 captain, 173 630 the 179 630 stranger 181 630 in 187 630 question 191 630 waved 193 630 his 197 630 hand 199 630 from 209 630 his 211 630 boat's 221 630 stern 223 630 in 227 630 token 229 630 of 233 630 that 239 630 proceeding 241 630 being 247 630 entirely 251 630 unnecessary. 253 630 It 257 630 turned 263 630 out 269 630 that 271 630 the 277 630 Jeroboam 281 630 had 283 630 a 289 630 malignant 293 630 epidemic 299 630 on 307 630 board, 311 630 and 313 630 that 317 630 Mayhew, 319 630 her 323 630 captain, 331 630 was 337 630 fearful 341 630 of 347 630 infecting 349 630 the 353 630 Pequod's 359 630 company. 361 630 For, 367 630 though 373 630 himself 377 630 and 379 630 boat's 383 630 crew 389 630 remained 391 630 untainted, 397 630 and 401 630 though 403 630 his 407 630 ship 409 630 was 419 630 half 421 630 a 431 630 rifle-shot 433 630 off, 437 630 and 439 630 an 443 630 incorruptible 449 630 sea 451 630 and 457 630 air 461 630 rolling 463 630 and 467 630 flowing 473 630 between; 479 630 yet 481 630 conscientiously 487 630 adhering 491 630 to 493 630 the 499 630 timid 503 630 quarantine 509 630 of 517 630 the 521 630 land, 523 630 he 527 630 peremptorily 529 630 refused 533 630 to 541 630 come 547 630 into 551 630 direct 557 630 contact 559 630 with 563 630 the 569 630 Pequod. 571 630 But 577 630 this 583 630 did 587 630 by 589 630 no 593 630 means 599 630 prevent 601 630 all 607 630 communications. 611 630 Preserving 613 630 an 617 630 interval 619 630 of 629 630 some 1 631 few 2 631 yards 3 631 between 4 631 itself 5 631 and 6 631 the 7 631 ship, 8 631 the 9 631 Jeroboam's 10 631 boat 11 631 by 12 631 the 13 631 occasional 14 631 use 15 631 of 16 631 its 17 631 oars 18 631 contrived 19 631 to 20 631 keep 21 631 parallel 22 631 to 23 631 the 24 631 Pequod, 25 631 as 26 631 she 27 631 heavily 28 631 forged 29 631 through 30 631 the 31 631 sea 32 631 (for 33 631 by 34 631 this 35 631 time 36 631 it 37 631 blew 38 631 very 39 631 fresh), 40 631 with 41 631 her 42 631 main-topsail 43 631 aback; 44 631 though, 45 631 indeed, 46 631 at 47 631 times 48 631 by 49 631 the 50 631 sudden 51 631 onset 52 631 of 53 631 a 54 631 large 55 631 rolling 56 631 wave, 57 631 the 58 631 boat 59 631 would 60 631 be 61 631 pushed 62 631 some 63 631 way 64 631 ahead; 65 631 but 66 631 would 67 631 be 68 631 soon 69 631 skilfully 70 631 brought 71 631 to 72 631 her 73 631 proper 74 631 bearings 75 631 again. 76 631 Subject 77 631 to 78 631 this, 79 631 and 80 631 other 81 631 the 82 631 like 83 631 interruptions 84 631 now 85 631 and 86 631 then, 87 631 a 88 631 conversation 89 631 was 90 631 sustained 91 631 between 92 631 the 93 631 two 94 631 parties; 95 631 but 96 631 at 97 631 intervals 98 631 not 99 631 without 100 631 still 101 631 another 102 631 interruption 103 631 of 104 631 a 105 631 very 106 631 different 107 631 sort. 108 631 Pulling 109 631 an 110 631 oar 111 631 in 112 631 the 113 631 Jeroboam's 114 631 boat, 115 631 was 116 631 a 117 631 man 118 631 of 119 631 a 120 631 singular 121 631 appearance, 122 631 even 123 631 in 124 631 that 125 631 wild 126 631 whaling 127 631 life 128 631 where 129 631 individual 130 631 notabilities 131 631 make 132 631 up 133 631 all 134 631 totalities. 135 631 He 136 631 was 137 631 a 138 631 small, 139 631 short, 140 631 youngish 141 631 man, 142 631 sprinkled 143 631 all 144 631 over 145 631 his 146 631 face 147 631 with 148 631 freckles, 149 631 and 150 631 wearing 151 631 redundant 152 631 yellow 153 631 hair. 154 631 A 155 631 long-skirted, 156 631 cabalistically-cut 157 631 coat 158 631 of 159 631 a 160 631 faded 161 631 walnut 162 631 tinge 163 631 enveloped 164 631 him; 165 631 the 166 631 overlapping 167 631 sleeves 168 631 of 169 631 which 170 631 were 171 631 rolled 172 631 up 173 631 on 174 631 his 175 631 wrists. 176 631 A 177 631 deep, 178 631 settled, 179 631 fanatic 180 631 delirium 181 631 was 182 631 in 183 631 his 184 631 eyes. 185 631 So 186 631 soon 187 631 as 188 631 this 189 631 figure 190 631 had 191 631 been 192 631 first 193 631 descried, 194 631 Stubb 195 631 had 196 631 exclaimed--"That's 197 631 he! 198 631 that's 199 631 he!--the 200 631 long-togged 201 631 scaramouch 202 631 the 203 631 Town-Ho's 204 631 company 205 631 told 206 631 us 207 631 of!" 208 631 Stubb 209 631 here 210 631 alluded 211 631 to 212 631 a 213 631 strange 214 631 story 215 631 told 216 631 of 217 631 the 218 631 Jeroboam, 219 631 and 220 631 a 221 631 certain 222 631 man 223 631 among 224 631 her 225 631 crew, 226 631 some 227 631 time 228 631 previous 229 631 when 230 631 the 231 631 Pequod 232 631 spoke 233 631 the 234 631 Town-Ho. 235 631 According 236 631 to 237 631 this 238 631 account 239 631 and 240 631 what 241 631 was 242 631 subsequently 243 631 learned, 244 631 it 245 631 seemed 246 631 that 247 631 the 248 631 scaramouch 249 631 in 250 631 question 251 631 had 252 631 gained 253 631 a 254 631 wonderful 255 631 ascendency 256 631 over 257 631 almost 258 631 everybody 259 631 in 260 631 the 261 631 Jeroboam. 262 631 His 263 631 story 264 631 was 265 631 this: 266 631 He 267 631 had 268 631 been 269 631 originally 270 631 nurtured 271 631 among 272 631 the 273 631 crazy 274 631 society 275 631 of 276 631 Neskyeuna 277 631 Shakers, 278 631 where 279 631 he 280 631 had 281 631 been 282 631 a 283 631 great 284 631 prophet; 285 631 in 286 631 their 287 631 cracked, 288 631 secret 289 631 meetings 290 631 having 291 631 several 292 631 times 293 631 descended 294 631 from 295 631 heaven 296 631 by 297 631 the 298 631 way 299 631 of 300 631 a 301 631 trap-door, 302 631 announcing 303 631 the 304 631 speedy 305 631 opening 306 631 of 307 631 the 308 631 seventh 309 631 vial, 310 631 which 311 631 he 312 631 carried 313 631 in 314 631 his 315 631 vest-pocket; 316 631 but, 317 631 which, 318 631 instead 319 631 of 320 631 containing 321 631 gunpowder, 322 631 was 323 631 supposed 324 631 to 325 631 be 326 631 charged 327 631 with 328 631 laudanum. 329 631 A 330 631 strange, 331 631 apostolic 332 631 whim 333 631 having 334 631 seized 335 631 him, 336 631 he 337 631 had 338 631 left 339 631 Neskyeuna 340 631 for 341 631 Nantucket, 342 631 where, 343 631 with 344 631 that 345 631 cunning 346 631 peculiar 347 631 to 348 631 craziness, 349 631 he 350 631 assumed 351 631 a 352 631 steady, 353 631 common-sense 354 631 exterior, 355 631 and 356 631 offered 357 631 himself 358 631 as 359 631 a 360 631 green-hand 361 631 candidate 362 631 for 363 631 the 364 631 Jeroboam's 365 631 whaling 366 631 voyage. 367 631 They 368 631 engaged 369 631 him; 370 631 but 371 631 straightway 372 631 upon 373 631 the 374 631 ship's 375 631 getting 376 631 out 377 631 of 378 631 sight 379 631 of 380 631 land, 381 631 his 382 631 insanity 383 631 broke 384 631 out 385 631 in 386 631 a 387 631 freshet. 388 631 He 389 631 announced 390 631 himself 391 631 as 392 631 the 393 631 archangel 394 631 Gabriel, 395 631 and 396 631 commanded 397 631 the 398 631 captain 399 631 to 400 631 jump 401 631 overboard. 402 631 He 403 631 published 404 631 his 405 631 manifesto, 406 631 whereby 407 631 he 408 631 set 409 631 himself 410 631 forth 411 631 as 412 631 the 413 631 deliverer 414 631 of 415 631 the 416 631 isles 417 631 of 418 631 the 419 631 sea 420 631 and 421 631 vicar-general 422 631 of 423 631 all 424 631 Oceanica. 425 631 The 426 631 unflinching 427 631 earnestness 428 631 with 429 631 which 430 631 he 431 631 declared 432 631 these 433 631 things;--the 434 631 dark, 435 631 daring 436 631 play 437 631 of 438 631 his 439 631 sleepless, 440 631 excited 441 631 imagination, 442 631 and 443 631 all 444 631 the 445 631 preternatural 446 631 terrors 447 631 of 448 631 real 449 631 delirium, 450 631 united 451 631 to 452 631 invest 453 631 this 454 631 Gabriel 455 631 in 456 631 the 457 631 minds 458 631 of 459 631 the 460 631 majority 461 631 of 462 631 the 463 631 ignorant 464 631 crew, 465 631 with 466 631 an 467 631 atmosphere 468 631 of 469 631 sacredness. 470 631 Moreover, 471 631 they 472 631 were 473 631 afraid 474 631 of 475 631 him. 476 631 As 477 631 such 478 631 a 479 631 man, 480 631 however, 481 631 was 482 631 not 483 631 of 484 631 much 485 631 practical 486 631 use 487 631 in 488 631 the 489 631 ship, 490 631 especially 491 631 as 492 631 he 493 631 refused 494 631 to 495 631 work 496 631 except 497 631 when 498 631 he 499 631 pleased, 500 631 the 501 631 incredulous 502 631 captain 503 631 would 504 631 fain 505 631 have 506 631 been 507 631 rid 508 631 of 509 631 him; 510 631 but 511 631 apprised 512 631 that 513 631 that 514 631 individual's 515 631 intention 516 631 was 517 631 to 518 631 land 519 631 him 520 631 in 521 631 the 522 631 first 523 631 convenient 524 631 port, 525 631 the 526 631 archangel 527 631 forthwith 528 631 opened 529 631 all 530 631 his 531 631 seals 532 631 and 533 631 vials--devoting 534 631 the 535 631 ship 536 631 and 537 631 all 538 631 hands 539 631 to 540 631 unconditional 541 631 perdition, 542 631 in 543 631 case 544 631 this 545 631 intention 546 631 was 547 631 carried 548 631 out. 549 631 So 550 631 strongly 551 631 did 552 631 he 553 631 work 554 631 upon 555 631 his 556 631 disciples 557 631 among 558 631 the 559 631 crew, 560 631 that 561 631 at 562 631 last 563 631 in 564 631 a 565 631 body 566 631 they 567 631 went 568 631 to 569 631 the 570 631 captain 571 631 and 572 631 told 573 631 him 574 631 if 575 631 Gabriel 576 631 was 577 631 sent 578 631 from 579 631 the 580 631 ship, 581 631 not 582 631 a 583 631 man 584 631 of 585 631 them 586 631 would 587 631 remain. 588 631 He 589 631 was 590 631 therefore 591 631 forced 592 631 to 593 631 relinquish 594 631 his 595 631 plan. 596 631 Nor 597 631 would 598 631 they 599 631 permit 600 631 Gabriel 601 631 to 602 631 be 603 631 any 604 631 way 605 631 maltreated, 606 631 say 607 631 or 608 631 do 609 631 what 610 631 he 611 631 would; 612 631 so 613 631 that 614 631 it 615 631 came 616 631 to 617 631 pass 618 631 that 619 631 Gabriel 620 631 had 621 631 the 622 631 complete 623 631 freedom 624 631 of 625 631 the 626 631 ship. 627 631 The 628 631 consequence 629 631 of 630 631 all 1 632 this 3 632 was, 5 632 that 7 632 the 9 632 archangel 11 632 cared 13 632 little 15 632 or 17 632 nothing 19 632 for 21 632 the 23 632 captain 25 632 and 27 632 mates; 29 632 and 31 632 since 33 632 the 35 632 epidemic 37 632 had 39 632 broken 41 632 out, 43 632 he 45 632 carried 47 632 a 49 632 higher 51 632 hand 53 632 than 55 632 ever; 57 632 declaring 59 632 that 61 632 the 63 632 plague, 65 632 as 67 632 he 69 632 called 71 632 it, 73 632 was 75 632 at 77 632 his 81 632 sole 83 632 command; 85 632 nor 87 632 should 89 632 it 91 632 be 93 632 stayed 95 632 but 97 632 according 99 632 to 101 632 his 103 632 good 105 632 pleasure. 107 632 The 109 632 sailors, 111 632 mostly 113 632 poor 115 632 devils, 117 632 cringed, 119 632 and 121 632 some 123 632 of 125 632 them 127 632 fawned 129 632 before 131 632 him; 133 632 in 135 632 obedience 137 632 to 139 632 his 141 632 instructions, 143 632 sometimes 145 632 rendering 147 632 him 149 632 personal 151 632 homage, 153 632 as 155 632 to 157 632 a 159 632 god. 161 632 Such 163 632 things 165 632 may 167 632 seem 169 632 incredible; 171 632 but, 173 632 however 175 632 wondrous, 177 632 they 179 632 are 181 632 true. 183 632 Nor 185 632 is 187 632 the 189 632 history 191 632 of 193 632 fanatics 195 632 half 197 632 so 199 632 striking 201 632 in 203 632 respect 205 632 to 207 632 the 209 632 measureless 211 632 self-deception 213 632 of 215 632 the 217 632 fanatic 219 632 himself, 221 632 as 223 632 his 225 632 measureless 227 632 power 229 632 of 231 632 deceiving 233 632 and 235 632 bedevilling 239 632 so 241 632 many 243 632 others. 245 632 But 247 632 it 249 632 is 251 632 time 253 632 to 255 632 return 257 632 to 259 632 the 261 632 Pequod. 263 632 "I 265 632 fear 267 632 not 269 632 thy 271 632 epidemic, 273 632 man," 275 632 said 277 632 Ahab 279 632 from 281 632 the 283 632 bulwarks, 285 632 to 287 632 Captain 289 632 Mayhew, 291 632 who 293 632 stood 295 632 in 297 632 the 299 632 boat's 301 632 stern; 303 632 "come 305 632 on 307 632 board." 309 632 But 311 632 now 313 632 Gabriel 315 632 started 317 632 to 319 632 his 321 632 feet. 323 632 "Think, 325 632 think 327 632 of 329 632 the 331 632 fevers, 333 632 yellow 335 632 and 337 632 bilious! 339 632 Beware 341 632 of 343 632 the 345 632 horrible 347 632 plague!" 349 632 "Gabriel! 351 632 Gabriel!" 353 632 cried 355 632 Captain 357 632 Mayhew; 359 632 "thou 361 632 must 363 632 either--" 365 632 But 367 632 that 369 632 instant 371 632 a 373 632 headlong 375 632 wave 377 632 shot 379 632 the 381 632 boat 383 632 far 385 632 ahead, 387 632 and 389 632 its 391 632 seethings 393 632 drowned 397 632 all 399 632 speech. 401 632 "Hast 403 632 thou 405 632 seen 407 632 the 409 632 White 411 632 Whale?" 413 632 demanded 415 632 Ahab, 417 632 when 419 632 the 421 632 boat 423 632 drifted 425 632 back. 427 632 "Think, 429 632 think 431 632 of 433 632 thy 435 632 whale-boat, 437 632 stoven 439 632 and 441 632 sunk! 443 632 Beware 445 632 of 447 632 the 449 632 horrible 451 632 tail!" 453 632 "I 455 632 tell 457 632 thee 459 632 again, 461 632 Gabriel, 463 632 that--" 465 632 But 467 632 again 469 632 the 471 632 boat 473 632 tore 475 632 ahead 477 632 as 479 632 if 481 632 dragged 483 632 by 485 632 fiends. 487 632 Nothing 489 632 was 491 632 said 493 632 for 495 632 some 497 632 moments, 499 632 while 501 632 a 503 632 succession 505 632 of 507 632 riotous 509 632 waves 511 632 rolled 513 632 by, 515 632 which 517 632 by 519 632 one 521 632 of 523 632 those 525 632 occasional 527 632 caprices 529 632 of 531 632 the 533 632 seas 535 632 were 537 632 tumbling, 539 632 not 541 632 heaving 543 632 it. 545 632 Meantime, 547 632 the 549 632 hoisted 551 632 sperm 555 632 whale's 557 632 head 559 632 jogged 561 632 about 563 632 very 565 632 violently, 567 632 and 569 632 Gabriel 571 632 was 573 632 seen 575 632 eyeing 577 632 it 579 632 with 581 632 rather 583 632 more 585 632 apprehensiveness 587 632 than 589 632 his 591 632 archangel 593 632 nature 595 632 seemed 597 632 to 599 632 warrant. 601 632 When 603 632 this 605 632 interlude 607 632 was 609 632 over, 611 632 Captain 613 632 Mayhew 615 632 began 617 632 a 619 632 dark 621 632 story 623 632 concerning 625 632 Moby 627 632 Dick; 629 632 not, 631 632 however, 1 633 without 2 633 frequent 4 633 interruptions 5 633 from 7 633 Gabriel, 8 633 whenever 10 633 his 11 633 name 13 633 was 14 633 mentioned, 16 633 and 17 633 the 19 633 crazy 20 633 sea 22 633 that 23 633 seemed 25 633 leagued 26 633 with 28 633 him. 29 633 It 31 633 seemed 32 633 that 34 633 the 35 633 Jeroboam 37 633 had 38 633 not 40 633 long 41 633 left 43 633 home, 44 633 when 46 633 upon 47 633 speaking 49 633 a 50 633 whale-ship, 52 633 her 53 633 people 55 633 were 56 633 reliably 58 633 apprised 59 633 of 61 633 the 62 633 existence 64 633 of 65 633 Moby 67 633 Dick, 68 633 and 70 633 the 71 633 havoc 73 633 he 74 633 had 76 633 made. 77 633 Greedily 79 633 sucking 80 633 in 82 633 this 83 633 intelligence, 85 633 Gabriel 86 633 solemnly 88 633 warned 89 633 the 91 633 captain 92 633 against 94 633 attacking 95 633 the 97 633 White 98 633 Whale, 100 633 in 101 633 case 103 633 the 104 633 monster 106 633 should 107 633 be 109 633 seen; 110 633 in 112 633 his 113 633 gibbering 115 633 insanity, 116 633 pronouncing 118 633 the 119 633 White 121 633 Whale 122 633 to 124 633 be 125 633 no 127 633 less 128 633 a 130 633 being 131 633 than 133 633 the 134 633 Shaker 136 633 God 137 633 incarnated; 139 633 the 140 633 Shakers 142 633 receiving 143 633 the 145 633 Bible. 146 633 But 148 633 when, 149 633 some 151 633 year 152 633 or 154 633 two 155 633 afterwards, 157 633 Moby 158 633 Dick 160 633 was 161 633 fairly 163 633 sighted 164 633 from 166 633 the 167 633 mast-heads, 169 633 Macey, 170 633 the 172 633 chief 173 633 mate, 175 633 burned 176 633 with 178 633 ardour 179 633 to 181 633 encounter 182 633 him; 184 633 and 185 633 the 187 633 captain 188 633 himself 190 633 being 191 633 not 193 633 unwilling 194 633 to 196 633 let 197 633 him 199 633 have 200 633 the 202 633 opportunity, 203 633 despite 205 633 all 206 633 the 208 633 archangel's 209 633 denunciations 212 633 and 214 633 forewarnings, 215 633 Macey 217 633 succeeded 218 633 in 220 633 persuading 221 633 five 223 633 men 224 633 to 226 633 man 227 633 his 229 633 boat. 230 633 With 232 633 them 233 633 he 235 633 pushed 236 633 off; 238 633 and, 239 633 after 241 633 much 242 633 weary 244 633 pulling, 245 633 and 247 633 many 248 633 perilous, 250 633 unsuccessful 251 633 onsets, 253 633 he 254 633 at 256 633 last 257 633 succeeded 259 633 in 260 633 getting 262 633 one 263 633 iron 265 633 fast. 266 633 Meantime, 268 633 Gabriel, 269 633 ascending 271 633 to 272 633 the 274 633 main-royal 275 633 mast-head, 277 633 was 278 633 tossing 280 633 one 281 633 arm 283 633 in 284 633 frantic 286 633 gestures, 287 633 and 289 633 hurling 290 633 forth 292 633 prophecies 293 633 of 295 633 speedy 296 633 doom 298 633 to 299 633 the 301 633 sacrilegious 302 633 assailants 304 633 of 305 633 his 307 633 divinity. 308 633 Now, 310 633 while 311 633 Macey, 313 633 the 314 633 mate, 316 633 was 317 633 standing 319 633 up 320 633 in 322 633 his 323 633 boat's 325 633 bow, 326 633 and 328 633 with 329 633 all 331 633 the 332 633 reckless 334 633 energy 335 633 of 337 633 his 338 633 tribe 340 633 was 341 633 venting 343 633 his 344 633 wild 346 633 exclamations 347 633 upon 349 633 the 350 633 whale, 352 633 and 353 633 essaying 355 633 to 356 633 get 358 633 a 359 633 fair 361 633 chance 362 633 for 364 633 his 365 633 poised 367 633 lance, 368 633 lo! 370 633 a 371 633 broad 373 633 white 374 633 shadow 376 633 rose 377 633 from 379 633 the 380 633 sea; 382 633 by 383 633 its 385 633 quick, 386 633 fanning 388 633 motion, 389 633 temporarily 391 633 taking 392 633 the 394 633 breath 395 633 out 397 633 of 398 633 the 400 633 bodies 401 633 of 403 633 the 404 633 oarsmen. 406 633 Next 407 633 instant, 409 633 the 410 633 luckless 412 633 mate, 413 633 so 415 633 full 416 633 of 418 633 furious 419 633 life, 421 633 was 424 633 smitten 425 633 bodily 427 633 into 428 633 the 430 633 air, 431 633 and 433 633 making 434 633 a 436 633 long 437 633 arc 439 633 in 440 633 his 442 633 descent, 443 633 fell 445 633 into 446 633 the 448 633 sea 449 633 at 451 633 the 452 633 distance 454 633 of 455 633 about 457 633 fifty 458 633 yards. 460 633 Not 461 633 a 463 633 chip 464 633 of 466 633 the 467 633 boat 469 633 was 470 633 harmed, 472 633 nor 473 633 a 475 633 hair 476 633 of 478 633 any 479 633 oarsman's 481 633 head; 482 633 but 484 633 the 485 633 mate 487 633 for 488 633 ever 490 633 sank. 491 633 It 493 633 is 494 633 well 496 633 to 497 633 parenthesize 499 633 here, 500 633 that 502 633 of 503 633 the 505 633 fatal 506 633 accidents 508 633 in 509 633 the 511 633 Sperm-Whale 512 633 Fishery, 514 633 this 515 633 kind 517 633 is 518 633 perhaps 520 633 almost 521 633 as 523 633 frequent 524 633 as 526 633 any. 527 633 Sometimes, 529 633 nothing 530 633 is 532 633 injured 533 633 but 535 633 the 536 633 man 538 633 who 539 633 is 541 633 thus 542 633 annihilated; 544 633 oftener 545 633 the 547 633 boat's 548 633 bow 550 633 is 551 633 knocked 553 633 off, 554 633 or 556 633 the 557 633 thigh-board, 559 633 in 560 633 which 562 633 the 563 633 headsman 565 633 stands, 566 633 is 568 633 torn 569 633 from 571 633 its 572 633 place 574 633 and 575 633 accompanies 577 633 the 578 633 body. 580 633 But 581 633 strangest 583 633 of 584 633 all 586 633 is 587 633 the 589 633 circumstance, 590 633 that 592 633 in 593 633 more 595 633 instances 596 633 than 598 633 one, 599 633 when 601 633 the 602 633 body 604 633 has 605 633 been 607 633 recovered, 608 633 not 610 633 a 611 633 single 613 633 mark 614 633 of 616 633 violence 617 633 is 619 633 discernible; 620 633 the 622 633 man 623 633 being 625 633 stark 626 633 dead. 628 633 The 629 633 whole 631 633 calamity, 632 633 with 1 634 the 3 634 falling 5 634 form 7 634 of 9 634 Macey, 11 634 was 13 634 plainly 15 634 descried 17 634 from 19 634 the 21 634 ship. 23 634 Raising 25 634 a 27 634 piercing 29 634 shriek--"The 31 634 vial! 33 634 the 35 634 vial!" 37 634 Gabriel 39 634 called 41 634 off 43 634 the 45 634 terror-stricken 47 634 crew 49 634 from 51 634 the 53 634 further 55 634 hunting 57 634 of 59 634 the 61 634 whale. 63 634 This 65 634 terrible 67 634 event 69 634 clothed 71 634 the 73 634 archangel 75 634 with 77 634 added 79 634 influence; 81 634 because 83 634 his 85 634 credulous 87 634 disciples 89 634 believed 91 634 that 93 634 he 95 634 had 97 634 specifically 99 634 fore-announced 101 634 it, 103 634 instead 105 634 of 107 634 only 109 634 making 111 634 a 113 634 general 115 634 prophecy, 117 634 which 119 634 any 121 634 one 123 634 might 125 634 have 127 634 done, 129 634 and 131 634 so 133 634 have 135 634 chanced 137 634 to 139 634 hit 141 634 one 143 634 of 145 634 many 147 634 marks 149 634 in 151 634 the 153 634 wide 155 634 margin 157 634 allowed. 159 634 He 161 634 became 163 634 a 165 634 nameless 167 634 terror 169 634 to 171 634 the 173 634 ship. 175 634 Mayhew 177 634 having 179 634 concluded 181 634 his 183 634 narration, 185 634 Ahab 187 634 put 189 634 such 191 634 questions 193 634 to 195 634 him, 197 634 that 199 634 the 201 634 stranger 203 634 captain 205 634 could 207 634 not 209 634 forbear 211 634 inquiring 213 634 whether 215 634 he 217 634 intended 219 634 to 221 634 hunt 223 634 the 225 634 White 227 634 Whale, 229 634 if 231 634 opportunity 233 634 should 235 634 offer. 237 634 To 239 634 which 241 634 Ahab 243 634 answered--"Aye." 245 634 Straightway, 247 634 then, 249 634 Gabriel 251 634 once 253 634 more 255 634 started 257 634 to 259 634 his 261 634 feet, 263 634 glaring 265 634 upon 267 634 the 269 634 old 271 634 man, 273 634 and 275 634 vehemently 277 634 exclaimed, 279 634 with 281 634 downward 283 634 pointed 285 634 finger--"Think, 287 634 think 289 634 of 291 634 the 293 634 blasphemer--dead, 295 634 and 297 634 down 299 634 there!--beware 301 634 of 303 634 the 305 634 blasphemer's 307 634 end!" 309 634 Ahab 311 634 stolidly 313 634 turned 315 634 aside; 319 634 then 321 634 said 323 634 to 325 634 Mayhew, 327 634 "Captain, 329 634 I 331 634 have 333 634 just 335 634 bethought 337 634 me 339 634 of 341 634 my 343 634 letter-bag; 345 634 there 347 634 is 349 634 a 351 634 letter 353 634 for 355 634 one 357 634 of 359 634 thy 361 634 officers, 363 634 if 365 634 I 367 634 mistake 369 634 not. 371 634 Starbuck, 373 634 look 375 634 over 377 634 the 379 634 bag." 381 634 Every 383 634 whale-ship 385 634 takes 387 634 out 389 634 a 391 634 goodly 393 634 number 395 634 of 397 634 letters 399 634 for 401 634 various 403 634 ships, 405 634 whose 407 634 delivery 409 634 to 411 634 the 413 634 persons 415 634 to 417 634 whom 419 634 they 421 634 may 423 634 be 425 634 addressed, 427 634 depends 429 634 upon 431 634 the 433 634 mere 435 634 chance 437 634 of 439 634 encountering 441 634 them 443 634 in 445 634 the 447 634 four 449 634 oceans. 451 634 Thus, 453 634 most 455 634 letters 457 634 never 459 634 reach 461 634 their 463 634 mark; 465 634 and 467 634 many 469 634 are 471 634 only 473 634 received 475 634 after 477 634 attaining 479 634 an 481 634 age 483 634 of 485 634 two 487 634 or 489 634 three 491 634 years 493 634 or 495 634 more. 497 634 Soon 499 634 Starbuck 501 634 returned 503 634 with 505 634 a 507 634 letter 509 634 in 511 634 his 513 634 hand. 515 634 It 517 634 was 519 634 sorely 521 634 tumbled, 523 634 damp, 525 634 and 527 634 covered 529 634 with 531 634 a 533 634 dull, 535 634 spotted, 537 634 green 539 634 mould, 541 634 in 543 634 consequence 545 634 of 547 634 being 549 634 kept 551 634 in 553 634 a 555 634 dark 557 634 locker 559 634 of 561 634 the 563 634 cabin. 565 634 Of 567 634 such 569 634 a 571 634 letter, 573 634 Death 575 634 himself 577 634 might 579 634 well 581 634 have 583 634 been 585 634 the 587 634 post-boy. 589 634 "Can'st 591 634 not 593 634 read 595 634 it?" 597 634 cried 599 634 Ahab. 601 634 "Give 603 634 it 605 634 me, 607 634 man. 609 634 Aye, 611 634 aye, 613 634 it's 615 634 but 617 634 a 619 634 dim 621 634 scrawl;--what's 623 634 this?" 625 634 As 627 634 he 629 634 was 631 634 studying 633 634 it 1 635 out, 2 635 Starbuck 3 635 took 4 635 a 6 635 long 7 635 cutting-spade 8 635 pole, 9 635 and 11 635 with 12 635 his 13 635 knife 14 635 slightly 16 635 split 17 635 the 18 635 end, 19 635 to 21 635 insert 22 635 the 23 635 letter 24 635 there, 26 635 and 27 635 in 28 635 that 29 635 way, 31 635 hand 32 635 it 33 635 to 34 635 the 36 635 boat, 37 635 without 38 635 its 39 635 coming 41 635 any 42 635 closer 43 635 to 44 635 the 46 635 ship. 47 635 Meantime, 48 635 Ahab 49 635 holding 51 635 the 52 635 letter, 53 635 muttered, 54 635 "Mr. 56 635 Har--yes, 57 635 Mr. 58 635 Harry--(a 59 635 woman's 61 635 pinny 62 635 hand,--the 63 635 man's 64 635 wife, 66 635 I'll 67 635 wager)--Aye--Mr. 68 635 Harry 69 635 Macey, 71 635 Ship 72 635 Jeroboam;--why 73 635 it's 74 635 Macey, 76 635 and 77 635 he's 78 635 dead!" 79 635 "Poor 81 635 fellow! 82 635 poor 83 635 fellow! 84 635 and 86 635 from 87 635 his 88 635 wife," 89 635 sighed 91 635 Mayhew; 92 635 "but 93 635 let 94 635 me 96 635 have 97 635 it." 98 635 "Nay, 99 635 keep 101 635 it 102 635 thyself," 103 635 cried 104 635 Gabriel 106 635 to 107 635 Ahab; 108 635 "thou 109 635 art 111 635 soon 112 635 going 113 635 that 114 635 way." 116 635 "Curses 117 635 throttle 118 635 thee!" 119 635 yelled 121 635 Ahab. 122 635 "Captain 123 635 Mayhew, 124 635 stand 126 635 by 128 635 now 129 635 to 131 635 receive 132 635 it"; 133 635 and 134 635 taking 136 635 the 137 635 fatal 138 635 missive 139 635 from 141 635 Starbuck's 142 635 hands, 143 635 he 144 635 caught 146 635 it 147 635 in 148 635 the 149 635 slit 151 635 of 152 635 the 153 635 pole, 154 635 and 156 635 reached 157 635 it 158 635 over 159 635 towards 161 635 the 162 635 boat. 163 635 But 164 635 as 166 635 he 167 635 did 168 635 so, 169 635 the 171 635 oarsmen 172 635 expectantly 173 635 desisted 174 635 from 176 635 rowing; 177 635 the 178 635 boat 179 635 drifted 181 635 a 182 635 little 183 635 towards 184 635 the 186 635 ship's 187 635 stern; 188 635 so 189 635 that, 191 635 as 192 635 if 193 635 by 194 635 magic, 196 635 the 197 635 letter 198 635 suddenly 199 635 ranged 201 635 along 202 635 with 203 635 Gabriel's 204 635 eager 206 635 hand. 207 635 He 208 635 clutched 209 635 it 211 635 in 212 635 an 213 635 instant, 214 635 seized 216 635 the 217 635 boat-knife, 218 635 and 219 635 impaling 221 635 the 222 635 letter 223 635 on 224 635 it, 226 635 sent 227 635 it 228 635 thus 229 635 loaded 231 635 back 232 635 into 233 635 the 234 635 ship. 236 635 It 237 635 fell 238 635 at 239 635 Ahab's 241 635 feet. 242 635 Then 243 635 Gabriel 244 635 shrieked 246 635 out 247 635 to 248 635 his 249 635 comrades 251 635 to 252 635 give 253 635 way 256 635 with 257 635 their 258 635 oars, 259 635 and 261 635 in 262 635 that 263 635 manner 264 635 the

forward), 89 636 it 91 636 was 95 636 my 97 636 cheerful 101 636 duty 103 636 to 107 636 attend 109 636 upon 113 636 him 115 636 while 119 636 taking 121 636 that 125 636 hard-scrabble 127 636 scramble 131 636 upon 133 636 the 137 636 dead 139 636 whale's 143 636 back. 145 636 You 149 636 have 151 636 seen 155 636 Italian 157 636 organ-boys 161 636 holding 163 636 a 167 636 dancing-ape 169

down 217 636 there 221 636 in 223 636 the 227 636 sea, 229 636 by 233 636 what 235 636 is 239 636 technically 241 636 called 245 636 in 247 636 the 251 636 fishery 253 636 a 257 636 monkey-rope, 259 636 attached 263 636 to 269 636 a 271 636 strong 275 636 strip 277 636 of 281 636 canvas 283 636 belted 287 636 round 289 636 his 293 636 waist. 295 636 It 299 636 was 301 636 a 305 636 humorously 307 636 perilous 311 636 business 313 636 for 317 636 both 319 636 of 323 636 us. 325 636 For, 329 636 before 331 636 we 335 636 proceed 337 636 further, 341 636 it 343 636 must 347 636 be 349 636 said 353 636 that 355 636 the 359 636 monkey-rope 361 636 was 365 636 fast 367 636 at 373 636 both 377 636 ends; 379 636 fast 383 636 to 385 636 Queequeg's 389 636 broad 391 636 canvas 395 636 belt, 397 636 and 401 636 fast 403 636 to 407 636 my 409 636 narrow 413 636 leather 415 636 one. 419 636 So 421 636 that 425 636 for 427 636 better 431 636 or 433 636 for 437 636 worse, 439 636 we 443 636 two, 445 636 for 449 636 the 451 636 time, 455 636 were 457 636 wedded; 461 636 and 463 636 should 467 636 poor 469 636 Queequeg 473 636 sink 475 636 to 479 636 rise 481 636 no 485 636 more, 487 636 then 491 636 both 493 636 usage 497 636 and 499 636 honour 503 636 demanded, 505 636 that 509 636 instead 511 636 of 515 636 cutting 517 636 the 521 636 cord, 523 636 it 527 636 should 529 636 drag 533 636 me 535 636 down 539 636 in 541 636 his 545 636 wake. 547 636 So, 551 636 then, 553 636 an 557 636 elongated 559 636 Siamese 563 636 ligature 565 636 united 569 636 us. 571 636 Queequeg 575 636 was 577 636 my 581 636 own 587 636 inseparable 589 636 twin 593 636 brother; 595 636 nor 599 636 could 601 636 I 605 636 any 607 636 way 611 636 get 613 636 rid 617 636 of 619 636 the 623 636 dangerous 625 636 liabilities 629 636 which 631 636 the 635 636 hempen 1 637 bond 2 637 entailed. 3 637 So 4 637 strongly 5 637 and 6 637 metaphysically 8 637 did 9 637 I 10 637 conceive 11 637 of 12 637 my 15 637 situation 16 637 then, 17 637 that 18 637 while 19 637 earnestly 20 637 watching 22 637 his 23 637 motions, 24 637 I 25 637 seemed 27 637 distinctly 29 637 to 30 637 perceive 31 637 that 32 637 my 33 637 own 34 637 individuality 36 637 was 37 637 now 38 637 merged 40 637 in 41 637 a 43 637 joint 44 637 stock 45 637 company 46 637 of 47 637 two; 48 637 that 50 637 my 51 637 free 53 637 will 54 637 had 55 637 received 57 637 a 58 637 mortal 59 637 wound; 60 637 and 61 637 that 62 637 another's 64 637 mistake 66 637 or 67 637 misfortune 68 637 might 69 637 plunge 71 637 innocent 72 637 me 73 637 into 74 637 unmerited 75 637 disaster 76 637 and 79 637 death. 80 637 Therefore, 81 637 I 82 637 saw 83 637 that 85 637 here 86 637 was 87 637 a 88 637 sort 89 637 of 90 637 interregnum 92 637 in 93 637 Providence; 94 637 for 95 637 its 96 637 even-handed 97 637 equity 99 637 never 100 637 could 101 637 have 102 637 so 103 637 gross 106 637 an 107 637 injustice. 108 637 And 109 637 yet 110 637 still 111 637 further 113 637 pondering--while 114 637 I 115 637 jerked 116 637 him 118 637 now 120 637 and 121 637 then 122 637 from 123 637 between 124 637 the 125 637 whale 127 637 and 128 637 ship, 129 637 which 131 637 would 132 637 threaten 134 637 to 135 637 jam 136 637 him--still 137 637 further 138 637 pondering, 139 637 I 141 637 say, 142 637 I 144 637 saw 145 637 that 146 637 this 148 637 situation 149 637 of 150 637 mine 151 637 was 152 637 the 153 637 precise 155 637 situation 157 637 of 158 637 every 159 637 mortal 160 637 that 162 637 breathes; 163 637 only, 164 637 in 165 637 most 166 637 cases, 167 637 he, 170 637 one 171 637 way 172 637 or 173 637 other, 174 637 has 176 637 this 177 637 Siamese 178 637 connexion 179 637 with 180 637 a 181 637 plurality 183 637 of 184 637 other 185 637 mortals. 186 637 If 187 637 your 188 637 banker 190 637 breaks, 191 637 you 192 637 snap; 193 637 if 194 637 your 197 637 apothecary 198 637 by 199 637 mistake 200 637 sends 201 637 you 202 637 poison 204 637 in 205 637 your 206 637 pills, 207 637 you 209 637 die. 211 637 True, 212 637 you 213 637 may 214 637 say 215 637 that, 216 637 by 218 637 exceeding 219 637 caution, 220 637 you 222 637 may 223 637 possibly 225 637 escape 226 637 these 227 637 and 228 637 the 229 637 multitudinous 230 637 other 232 637 evil 233 637 chances 235 637 of 236 637 life. 237 637 But 239 637 handle 240 637 Queequeg's 241 637 monkey-rope 242 637 heedfully 243 637 as 244 637 I 246 637 would, 248 637 sometimes 249 637 he 250 637 jerked 251 637 it 253 637 so, 254 637 that 255 637 I 256 637 came 257 637 very 258 637 near 261 637 sliding 262 637 overboard. 263 637 Nor 264 637 could 265 637 I 267 637 possibly 268 637 forget 269 637 that, 270 637 do 271 637 what 272 637 I 274 637 would, 275 637 I 276 637 only 277 637 had 278 637 the 279 637 management 281 637 of 282 637 one 283 637 end 284 637 of 285 637 it.* 288 637 *The 289 637 monkey-rope 290 637 is 291 637 found 292 637 in 293 637 all 295 637 whalers; 296 637 but 297 637 it 298 637 was 300 637 only 302 637 in 303 637 the 304 637 Pequod 305 637 that 306 637 the 307 637 monkey 309 637 and 310 637 his 311 637 holder 313 637 were 314 637 ever 316 637 tied 317 637 together. 318 637 This 319 637 improvement 320 637 upon 321 637 the 323 637 original 324 637 usage 326 637 was 327 637 introduced 328 637 by 330 637 no 331 637 less 332 637 a 333 637 man 334 637 than 335 637 Stubb, 337 637 in 339 637 order 340 637 to 341 637 afford 342 637 the 344 637 imperilled 345 637 harpooneer 346 637 the 347 637 strongest 348 637 possible

that 367 637 I 368 637 would 369 637 often 370 637 jerk 372 637 poor 373 637 Queequeg 374 637 from 375 637 between 376 637 the 379 637 whale 380 637 and 381 637 the 382 637 ship--where 383 637 he 384 637 would 386 637 occasionally 387 637 fall, 388 637 from 389 637 the 391 637 incessant 393 637 rolling 394 637 and 395 637 swaying 396 637 of 397 637 both. 398 637 But 400 637 this 401 637 was 402 637 not 404 637 the 405 637 only 407 637 jamming 408 637 jeopardy 409 637 he 410 637 was 411 637 exposed 412 637 to. 414 637 Unappalled 415 637 by 417 637 the 418 637 massacre 419 637 made 421 637

him 591 643 such 592 643 a 593 643 wrenching 594 643 and 595 643 heaving, 596 643 that 597 643 his 598 643 tail 599 643 will 600 643 come 601 643 short 602 643 off 603 643 at 604 643 the 605 643 stump--do 606 643 you 607 643 see; 608 643 and 609 643 then, 610 643 I 611 643 rather 612 643 guess 613 643 when 614 643 he 615 643 finds 616 643 himself 617 643 docked 618 643 in 619 643 that 620 643 queer 621 643 fashion, 622 643 he'll 623 643 sneak 624 643 off 625 643 without 626 643 the 627 643 poor 628 643 satisfaction 629 643 of 630 643 feeling 631 643 his 632 643 tail 633 643 between 634 643 his 635 643 legs." 636 643 "And 637 643 what 638 643 will 639 643 you 640 643 do 641 643 with 642 643 the 1 644 tail, 3 644 Stubb?" 5 644 "Do 9 644 with 11 644 it? 13 644 Sell 15 644 it 17 644 for 19 644 an 25 644 ox 27 644 whip 29 644 when 31 644 we 33 644 get 37 644 home;--what 39 644 else?" 41 644 "Now, 43 644 do 45 644 you 47 644 mean 51 644 what 53 644 you 55 644 say, 57 644 and 59 644 have 61 644 been 65 644 saying 67 644 all 71 644 along, 73 644 Stubb?" 75 644 "Mean 79 644 or 81 644 not 83 644 mean, 85 644 here 87 644 we 89 644 are 93 644 at 95 644 the 97 644 ship." 99 644 The 101 644 boats 103 644 were 107 644 here 109 644 hailed, 111 644 to 113 644 tow 117 644 the 121 644 whale 123 644 on 125 644 the 127 644 larboard 129 644 side, 131 644 where 135 644 fluke 137 644 chains 139 644 and 141 644 other 143 644 necessaries 145 644 were 149 644 already 151 644 prepared 153 644 for 155 644 securing 157 644 him. 159 644 "Didn't 163 644 I 165 644 tell 167 644 you 169 644 so?" 171 644 said 173 644 Flask; 177 644 "yes, 179 644 you'll 181 644 soon 183 644 see 185 644 this 187 644 right 191 644 whale's 193 644 head 195 644 hoisted 197 644 up 199 644 opposite 201 644 that 205 644 parmacetti's." 209 644 In 211 644 good 213 644 time, 215 644 Flask's 219 644 saying 221 644 proved 223 644 true. 225 644 As 227 644 before, 229 644 the 233 644 Pequod 235 644 steeply 237 644 leaned 239 644 over 241 644 towards 243 644 the 247 644 sperm 249 644 whale's 251 644 head, 255 644 now, 257 644 by 261 644 the 263 644 counterpoise 265 644 of 267 644 both 269 644 heads, 271 644 she 275 644 regained 277 644 her 279 644 even 281 644 keel; 283 644 though 285 644 sorely 289 644 strained, 291 644 you 293 644 may 295 644 well 297 644 believe. 303 644 So, 305 644 when 307 644 on 309 644 one 311 644 side 313 644 you 317 644 hoist 319 644 in 321 644 Locke's 323 644 head, 325 644 you 327 644 go 331 644 over 333 644 that 335 644 way; 337 644 but 339 644 now, 341 644 on 347 644 the 349 644 other 351 644 side, 353 644 hoist 355 644 in 359 644 Kant's 361 644 and 363 644 you 365 644 come 367 644 back 369 644 again; 373 644 but 375 644 in 377 644 very 379 644 poor 381 644 plight. 383 644 Thus, 387 644 some 389 644 minds 393 644 for 395 644 ever 397 644 keep 401 644 trimming 403 644 boat. 405 644 Oh, 407 644 ye 409 644 foolish! 411 644 throw 415 644 all 417 644 these 419 644 thunder-heads 421 644 overboard, 423 644 and 425 644 then 429 644 you 431 644 will 433 644 float 435 644 light 439 644 and 443 644 right. 445 644 In 447 644 disposing 449 644 of 451 644 the 453 644 body 457 644 of 459 644 a 461 644 right 463 644 whale, 465 644 when 467 644 brought 471 644 alongside 473 644 the 475 644 ship, 477 644 the 479 644 same 481 644 preliminary 485 644 proceedings 487 644 commonly 489 644 take 491 644 place 493 644 as 495 644 in 499 644 the 501 644 case 503 644 of 505 644 a 507 644 sperm 509 644 whale; 513 644 only, 515 644 in 517 644 the 519 644 latter 521 644 instance, 523 644 the 527 644 head 531 644 is 533 644 cut 535 644 off 537 644 whole, 541 644 but 543 644 in 545 644 the 547 644 former 549 644 the 551 644 lips 555 644 and 557 644 tongue 559 644 are 561 644 separately 563 644 removed 565 644 and 569 644 hoisted 571 644 on 573 644 deck, 577 644 with 579 644 all 583 644 the 585 644 well 587 644 known 589 644 black 591 644 bone 593 644 attached 597 644 to 599 644 what 601 644 is 603 644 called 605 644 the 607 644 crown-piece. 611 644 But 613 644 nothing 615 644 like 617 644 this, 619 644 in 625 644 the 627 644 present 629 644 case, 631 644 had 633 644 been 635 644 done. 639 644 The 641 644 carcases 643 644 of 1 645 both 2 645 whales 4 645 had 7 645 dropped 8 645 astern; 11 645 and 13 645 the 14 645 head-laden 16 645 ship 17 645 not 19 645 a 22 645 little 23 645 resembled 26 645 a 28 645 mule 29 645 carrying 31 645 a 32 645 pair 34 645 of 37 645 overburdening 38 645 panniers. 41 645 Meantime, 44 645 Fedallah 46 645 was 47 645 calmly 49 645 eyeing 52 645 the 53 645 right 56 645 whale's 58 645 head, 59 645 and 61 645 ever 62 645 and 64 645 anon 67 645 glancing 68 645 from 71 645 the 73 645 deep 74 645 wrinkles 76 645 there 77 645 to 79 645 the 82 645 lines 83 645 in 88 645 his 89 645 own 91 645 hand. 92 645 And 94 645 Ahab 97 645 chanced 98 645 so 101 645 to 103 645 stand, 104 645 that 106 645 the 107 645 Parsee 109 645 occupied 112 645 his 113 645 shadow; 116 645 while, 118 645 if 119 645 the 121 645 Parsee's 122 645 shadow 124 645 was 127 645 there 128 645 at 131 645 all 133 645 it 134 645 seemed 136 645 only 137 645 to 139 645 blend 142 645 with, 143 645 and 146 645 lengthen 148 645 Ahab's. 149 645 As 151 645 the 152 645 crew 154 645 toiled 157 645 on, 158 645 Laplandish 161 645 speculations 163 645 were 164 645 bandied 166 645 among 167 645 them, 169 645 concerning 173 645 all 176 645 these 178 645 passing 179 645 things. 181 645 CHAPTER 182 645 74 184 645 The 187 645 Sperm 188 645 Whale's 191 645 Head--Contrasted 193 645 View. 194 645 Here, 196 645 now, 197 645 are 199 645 two 202 645 great 203 645 whales, 206 645 laying 208 645 their 209 645 heads 211 645 together; 212 645 let 214 645 us 217 645 join 218 645 them, 221 645 and 223 645 lay 224 645 together 226 645 our 227 645 own. 229 645 Of 232 645 the 233 645 grand 236 645 order 238 645 of 239 645 folio 241 645 leviathans, 242 645 the 244 645 Sperm 247 645 Whale 248 645 and 251 645 the 253 645 Right 254 645 Whale 256 645 are 257 645 by 259 645 far 262 645 the 263 645 most 266 645 noteworthy. 268 645 They 269 645 are 271 645 the 272 645 only 274 645 whales 277 645 regularly 278 645 hunted 281 645 by 283 645 man. 284 645 To 286 645 the 287 645 Nantucketer, 289 645 they 292 645 present 293 645 the 296 645 two 298 645 extremes 299 645 of 302 645 all 304 645 the 307 645 known 308 645 varieties 311 645 of 313 645 the 314 645 whale. 316 645 As 317 645 the 319 645 external 322 645 difference 323 645 between 326 645 them 328 645 is 329 645 mainly 331 645 observable 332 645 in 334 645 their 337 645 heads; 338 645 and 341 645 as 343 645 a 346 645 head 347 645 of 349 645 each 352 645 is 353 645 this 356 645 moment 358 645 hanging 359 645 from 361 645 the 362 645 Pequod's 364 645 side; 367 645 and 368 645 as 371 645 we 373 645 may 374 645 freely 376 645 go 377 645 from 379 645 one 382 645 to 383 645 the 386 645 other, 388 645 by 389 645 merely 391 645 stepping 392 645 across 394 645 the 397 645 deck:--where, 398 645 I 401 645 should 403 645 like 404 645 to 406 645 know, 407 645 will 409 645 you 412 645 obtain 413 645 a 416 645 better 418 645 chance 419 645 to 421 645 study 422 645 practical 424 645 cetology 427 645 than 428 645 here? 431 645 In 433 645 the 434 645 first 436 645 place, 437 645 you 439 645 are 442 645 struck 443 645 by 446 645 the 448 645 general 449 645 contrast 451 645 between 452 645 these 454 645 heads. 457 645 Both 458 645 are 461 645 massive 463 645 enough 464 645 in 466 645 all 467 645 conscience; 469 645 but 472 645 there 476 645 is 478 645 a 479 645 certain 481 645 mathematical 482 645 symmetry 484 645 in 487 645 the 488 645 Sperm 491 645 Whale's 493 645 which 494 645 the 496 645 Right 497 645 Whale's 499 645 sadly 502 645 lacks. 503 645 There 506 645 is 508 645 more 509 645 character 511 645 in 512 645 the 514 645 Sperm 517 645 Whale's 518 645 head. 521 645 As 523 645 you 524 645 behold 526 645 it, 527 645 you 529 645 involuntarily 532 645 yield 533 645 the 536 645 immense 538 645 superiority 539 645 to 541 645 him, 542 645 in 544 645 point 547 645 of 548 645 pervading 551 645 dignity. 553 645 In 554 645 the 556 645 present 557 645 instance, 562 645 too, 563 645 this 566 645 dignity 568 645 is 569 645 heightened 571 645 by 572 645 the 574 645 pepper 577 645 and 578 645 salt 581 645 colour 583 645 of 584 645 his 586 645 head 587 645 at 589 645 the 592 645 summit, 593 645 giving 596 645 token 598 645 of 599 645 advanced 601 645 age 604 645 and 607 645 large 608 645 experience. 611 645 In 613 645 short, 614 645 he 616 645 is 617 645 what 619 645 the 622 645 fishermen 623 645 technically 626 645 call 628 645 a 629 645 "grey-headed 631 645 whale." 632 645 Let 634 645 us 637 645 now 638 645 note 641 645 what 643 645 is 644 645 least 1 646 dissimilar 3 646 in 5 646 these 7 646 heads--namely, 9 646 the 11 646 two 13 646 most 15 646 important 21 646 organs, 23 646 the 25 646 eye 27 646 and 29 646 the 31 646 ear. 33 646 Far 35 646 back 37 646 on 39 646 the 41 646 side 43 646 of 45 646 the 47 646 head, 49 646 and 53 646 low 55 646 down, 59 646 near 61 646 the 63 646 angle 65 646 of 67 646 either 69 646 whale's 71 646 jaw, 73 646 if 75 646 you 77 646 narrowly 79 646 search, 81 646 you 83 646 will 87 646 at 89 646 last 91 646 see 93 646 a 97 646 lashless 99 646 eye, 101 646 which 103 646 you 105 646 would 107 646 fancy 109 646 to 111 646 be 113 646 a 115 646 young 117 646 colt's 121 646 eye; 123 646 so 125 646 out 127 646 of 129 646 all 131 646 proportion 135 646 is 137 646 it 139 646 to 141 646 the 143 646 magnitude 145 646 of 147 646 the 149 646 head. 151 646 Now, 155 646 from 157 646 this 159 646 peculiar 161 646 sideway 163 646 position 165 646 of 167 646 the 169 646 whale's 173 646 eyes, 175 646 it 177 646 is 179 646 plain 181 646 that 183 646 he 185 646 can 189 646 never 191 646 see 193 646 an 195 646 object 197 646 which 199 646 is 201 646 exactly 203 646 ahead, 205 646 no 207 646 more 211 646 than 213 646 he 215 646 can 217 646 one 219 646 exactly 223 646 astern. 225 646 In 227 646 a 229 646 word, 231 646 the 233 646 position 235 646 of 237 646 the 239 646 whale's 241 646 eyes 243 646 corresponds 245 646 to 249 646 that 251 646 of 253 646 a 257 646 man's 259 646 ears; 261 646 and 263 646 you 265 646 may 267 646 fancy, 269 646 for 271 646 yourself, 273 646 how 275 646 it 277 646 would 279 646 fare 281 646 with 283 646 you, 287 646 did 291 646 you 293 646 sideways 295 646 survey 297 646 objects 299 646 through 301 646 your 303 646 ears. 305 646 You 307 646 would 309 646 find 311 646 that 313 646 you 315 646 could 317 646 only 319 646 command 321 646 some 325 646 thirty 327 646 degrees 329 646 of 331 646 vision 333 646 in 335 646 advance 337 646 of 339 646 the 341 646 straight 343 646 side-line 345 646 of 347 646 sight; 349 646 and 351 646 about 353 646 thirty 355 646 more 359 646 behind 363 646 it. 365 646 If 367 646 your 369 646 bitterest 371 646 foe 373 646 were 375 646 walking 377 646 straight 379 646 towards 381 646 you, 383 646 with 385 646 dagger 387 646 uplifted 389 646 in 393 646 broad 395 646 day, 397 646 you 401 646 would 403 646 not 405 646 be 407 646 able 409 646 to 411 646 see 413 646 him, 415 646 any 417 646 more 419 646 than 421 646 if 423 646 he 427 646 were 429 646 stealing 431 646 upon 433 646 you 435 646 from 439 646 behind. 441 646 In 443 646 a 445 646 word, 447 646 you 449 646 would 451 646 have 453 646 two 455 646 backs, 457 646 so 461 646 to 463 646 speak; 465 646 but, 467 646 at 469 646 the 471 646 same 473 646 time, 477 646 also, 479 646 two 481 646 fronts 483 646 (side 485 646 fronts): 487 646 for 489 646 what 491 646 is 495 646 it 497 646 that 499 646 makes 501 646 the 503 646 front 505 646 of 507 646 a 509 646 man--what, 511 646 indeed, 515 646 but 517 646 his 519 646 eyes? 521 646 Moreover, 523 646 while 525 646 in 529 646 most 531 646 other 533 646 animals 535 646 that 537 646 I 539 646 can 541 646 now 543 646 think 545 646 of, 547 646 the 549 646 eyes 553 646 are 555 646 so 557 646 planted 559 646 as 563 646 imperceptibly 565 646 to 567 646 blend 569 646 their 571 646 visual 573 646 power, 575 646 so 577 646 as 579 646 to 581 646 produce 583 646 one 585 646 picture 587 646 and 591 646 not 593 646 two 597 646 to 599 646 the 601 646 brain; 603 646 the 605 646 peculiar 607 646 position 609 646 of 611 646 the 613 646 whale's 615 646 eyes, 617 646 effectually 619 646 divided 621 646 as 623 646 they 625 646 are 631 646 by 633 646 many 635 646 cubic 637 646 feet 639 646 of 641 646 solid 643 646 head, 645 646 which 1 647 towers 2 647 between 3 647 them 4 647 like 5 647 a 6 647 great 7 647 mountain 8 647 separating 9 647 two 10 647 lakes 11 647 in 12 647 valleys; 13 647 this, 14 647 of 15 647 course, 16 647 must 17 647 wholly 18 647 separate 19 647 the 20 647 impressions 21 647 which 22 647 each 23 647 independent 24 647 organ 25 647 imparts. 26 647 The 27 647 whale, 28 647 therefore, 29 647 must 30 647 see 31 647 one 32 647 distinct 33 647 picture 34 647 on 35 647 this 36 647 side, 37 647 and 38 647 another 39 647 distinct 40 647 picture 41 647 on 42 647 that 43 647 side; 44 647 while 45 647 all 46 647 between 47 647 must 48 647 be 49 647 profound 50 647 darkness 51 647 and 52 647 nothingness 53 647 to 54 647 him. 55 647 Man 56 647 may, 57 647 in 58 647 effect, 59 647 be 60 647 said 61 647 to 62 647 look 63 647 out 64 647 on 65 647 the 66 647 world 67 647 from 68 647 a 69 647 sentry-box 70 647 with 71 647 two 72 647 joined 73 647 sashes 74 647 for 75 647 his 76 647 window. 77 647 But 78 647 with 79 647 the 80 647 whale, 81 647 these 82 647 two 83 647 sashes 84 647 are 85 647 separately 86 647 inserted, 87 647 making 88 647 two 89 647 distinct 90 647 windows, 91 647 but 92 647 sadly 93 647 impairing 94 647 the 95 647 view. 96 647 This 97 647 peculiarity 98 647 of 99 647 the 100 647 whale's 101 647 eyes 102 647 is 103 647 a 104 647 thing 105 647 always 106 647 to 107 647 be 108 647 borne 109 647 in 110 647 mind 111 647 in 112 647 the 113 647 fishery; 114 647 and 115 647 to 116 647 be 117 647 remembered 118 647 by 119 647 the 120 647 reader 121 647 in 122 647 some 123 647 subsequent 124 647 scenes. 125 647 A 126 647 curious 127 647 and 128 647 most 129 647 puzzling 130 647 question 131 647 might 132 647 be 133 647 started 134 647 concerning 135 647 this 136 647 visual 137 647 matter 138 647 as 139 647 touching 140 647 the 141 647 Leviathan. 142 647 But 143 647 I 144 647 must 145 647 be 146 647 content 147 647 with 148 647 a 149 647 hint. 150 647 So 151 647 long 152 647 as 153 647 a 154 647 man's 155 647 eyes 156 647 are 157 647 open 158 647 in 159 647 the 160 647 light, 161 647 the 162 647 act 163 647 of 164 647 seeing 165 647 is 166 647 involuntary; 167 647 that 168 647 is, 169 647 he 170 647 cannot 171 647 then 172 647 help 173 647 mechanically 174 647 seeing 175 647 whatever 176 647 objects 177 647 are 178 647 before 179 647 him. 180 647 Nevertheless, 181 647 any 182 647 one's 183 647 experience 184 647 will 185 647 teach 186 647 him, 187 647 that 188 647 though 189 647 he 190 647 can 191 647 take 192 647 in 193 647 an 194 647 undiscriminating 195 647 sweep 196 647 of 197 647 things 198 647 at 199 647 one 200 647 glance, 201 647 it 202 647 is 203 647 quite 204 647 impossible 205 647 for 206 647 him, 207 647 attentively, 208 647 and 209 647 completely, 210 647 to 211 647 examine 212 647 any 213 647 two 214 647 things--however 215 647 large 216 647 or 217 647 however 218 647 small--at 219 647 one 220 647 and 221 647 the 222 647 same 223 647 instant 224 647 of 225 647 time; 226 647 never 227 647 mind 228 647 if 229 647 they 230 647 lie 231 647 side 232 647 by 233 647 side 234 647 and 235 647 touch 236 647 each 237 647 other. 238 647 But 239 647 if 240 647 you 241 647 now 242 647 come 243 647 to 244 647 separate 245 647 these 246 647 two 247 647 objects, 248 647 and 249 647 surround 250 647 each 251 647 by 252 647 a 253 647 circle 254 647 of 255 647 profound 256 647 darkness; 257 647 then, 258 647 in 259 647 order 260 647 to 261 647 see 262 647 one 263 647 of 264 647 them, 265 647 in 266 647 such 267 647 a 268 647 manner 269 647 as 270 647 to 271 647 bring 272 647 your 273 647 mind 274 647 to 275 647 bear 276 647 on 277 647 it, 278 647 the 279 647 other 280 647 will 281 647 be 282 647 utterly 283 647 excluded 284 647 from 285 647 your 286 647 contemporary 287 647 consciousness. 288 647 How 289 647 is 290 647 it, 291 647 then, 292 647 with 293 647 the 294 647 whale? 295 647 True, 296 647 both 297 647 his 298 647 eyes, 299 647 in 300 647 themselves, 301 647 must 302 647 simultaneously 303 647 act; 304 647 but 305 647 is 306 647 his 307 647 brain 308 647 so 309 647 much 310 647 more 311 647 comprehensive, 312 647 combining, 313 647 and 314 647 subtle 315 647 than 316 647 man's, 317 647 that 318 647 he 319 647 can 320 647 at 321 647 the 322 647 same 323 647 moment 324 647 of 325 647 time 326 647 attentively 327 647 examine 328 647 two 329 647 distinct 330 647 prospects, 331 647 one 332 647 on 333 647 one 334 647 side 335 647 of 336 647 him, 337 647 and 338 647 the 339 647 other 340 647 in 341 647 an 342 647 exactly 343 647 opposite 344 647 direction? 345 647 If 346 647 he 347 647 can, 348 647 then 349 647 is 350 647 it 351 647 as 352 647 marvellous 353 647 a 354 647 thing 355 647 in 356 647 him, 357 647 as 358 647 if 359 647 a 360 647 man 361 647 were 362 647 able 363 647 simultaneously 364 647 to 365 647 go 366 647 through 367 647 the 368 647 demonstrations 369 647 of 370 647 two 371 647 distinct 372 647 problems 373 647 in 374 647 Euclid. 375 647 Nor, 376 647 strictly 377 647 investigated, 378 647 is 379 647 there 380 647 any 381 647 incongruity 382 647 in 383 647 this 384 647 comparison. 385 647 It 386 647 may 387 647 be 388 647 but 389 647 an 390 647 idle 391 647 whim, 392 647 but 393 647 it 394 647 has 395 647 always 396 647 seemed 397 647 to 398 647 me, 399 647 that 400 647 the 401 647 extraordinary 402 647 vacillations 403 647 of 404 647 movement 405 647 displayed 406 647 by 407 647 some 408 647 whales 409 647 when 410 647 beset 411 647 by 412 647 three 413 647 or 414 647 four 415 647 boats; 416 647 the 417 647 timidity 418 647 and 419 647 liability 420 647 to 421 647 queer 422 647 frights, 423 647 so 424 647 common 425 647 to 426 647 such 427 647 whales; 428 647 I 429 647 think 430 647 that 431 647 all 432 647 this 433 647 indirectly 434 647 proceeds 435 647 from 436 647 the 437 647 helpless 438 647 perplexity 439 647 of 440 647 volition, 441 647 in 442 647 which 443 647 their 444 647 divided 445 647 and 446 647 diametrically 447 647 opposite 448 647 powers 449 647 of 450 647 vision 451 647 must 452 647 involve 453 647 them. 454 647 But 455 647 the 456 647 ear 457 647 of 458 647 the 459 647 whale 460 647 is 461 647 full 462 647 as 463 647 curious 464 647 as 465 647 the 466 647 eye. 467 647 If 468 647 you 469 647 are 470 647 an 471 647 entire 472 647 stranger 473 647 to 474 647 their 475 647 race, 476 647 you 477 647 might 478 647 hunt 479 647 over 480 647 these 481 647 two 482 647 heads 483 647 for 484 647 hours, 485 647 and 486 647 never 487 647 discover 488 647 that 489 647 organ. 490 647 The 491 647 ear 492 647 has 493 647 no 494 647 external 495 647 leaf 496 647 whatever; 497 647 and 498 647 into 499 647 the 500 647 hole 501 647 itself 502 647 you 503 647 can 504 647 hardly 505 647 insert 506 647 a 507 647 quill, 508 647 so 509 647 wondrously 510 647 minute 511 647 is 512 647 it. 513 647 It 514 647 is 515 647 lodged 516 647 a 517 647 little 518 647 behind 519 647 the 520 647 eye. 521 647 With 522 647 respect 523 647 to 524 647 their 525 647 ears, 526 647 this 527 647 important 528 647 difference 529 647 is 530 647 to 531 647 be 532 647 observed 533 647 between 534 647 the 535 647 sperm 536 647 whale 537 647 and 538 647 the 539 647 right. 540 647 While 541 647 the 542 647 ear 543 647 of 544 647 the 545 647 former 546 647 has 547 647 an 548 647 external 549 647 opening, 550 647 that 551 647 of 552 647 the 553 647 latter 554 647 is 555 647 entirely 556 647 and 557 647 evenly 558 647 covered 559 647 over 560 647 with 561 647 a 562 647 membrane, 563 647 so 564 647 as 565 647 to 566 647 be 567 647 quite 568 647 imperceptible 569 647 from 570 647 without. 571 647 Is 572 647 it 573 647 not 574 647 curious, 575 647 that 576 647 so 577 647 vast 578 647 a 579 647 being 580 647 as 581 647 the 582 647 whale 583 647 should 584 647 see 585 647 the 586 647 world 587 647 through 588 647 so 589 647 small 590 647 an 591 647 eye, 592 647 and 593 647 hear 594 647 the 595 647 thunder 596 647 through 597 647 an 598 647 ear 599 647 which 600 647 is 601 647 smaller 602 647 than 603 647 a 604 647 hare's? 605 647 But 606 647 if 607 647 his 608 647 eyes 609 647 were 610 647 broad 611 647 as 612 647 the 613 647 lens 614 647 of 615 647 Herschel's 616 647 great 617 647 telescope; 618 647 and 619 647 his 620 647 ears 621 647 capacious 622 647 as 623 647 the 624 647 porches 625 647 of 626 647 cathedrals; 627 647 would 628 647 that 629 647 make 630 647 him 631 647 any 632 647 longer 633 647 of 634 647 sight, 635 647 or 636 647 sharper 637 647 of 638 647 hearing? 639 647 Not 640 647 at 641 647 all.--Why 642 647 then 643 647 do 644 647 you 645 647 try 646 647 to 1 648 "enlarge" 5 648 your 7 648 mind? 11 648 Subtilize 13 648 it. 17 648 Let 19 648 us 23 648 now 25 648 with 29 648 whatever 31 648 levers 35 648 and 37 648 steam-engines 41 648 we 43 648 have 47 648 at 49 648 hand, 53 648 cant 55 648 over 59 648 the 61 648 sperm 65 648 whale's 67 648 head, 71 648 that 73 648 it 77 648 may 79 648 lie 83 648 bottom 85 648 up; 89 648 then, 91 648 ascending 95 648 by 97 648 a 101 648 ladder 103 648 to 107 648 the 109 648 summit, 113 648 have 115 648 a 119 648 peep 121 648 down 125 648 the 127 648 mouth; 131 648 and 133 648 were 137 648 it 139 648 not 143 648 that 145 648 the 149 648 body 151 648 is 155 648 now 157 648 completely 161 648 separated 163 648 from 167 648 it, 169 648 with 173 648 a 175 648 lantern 179 648 we 181 648 might 185 648 descend 187 648 into 191 648 the 193 648 great 197 648 Kentucky 199 648 Mammoth 203 648 Cave 205 648 of 209 648 his 211 648 stomach. 215 648 But 217 648 let 221 648 us 223 648 hold 227 648 on 229 648 here 233 648 by 235 648 this 239 648 tooth, 241 648 and 245 648 look 247 648 about 251 648 us 253 648 where 257 648 we 259 648 are. 263 648 What 265 648 a 269 648 really 271 648 beautiful 275 648 and 277 648 chaste-looking 281 648 mouth! 283 648 from 287 648 floor 289 648 to 293 648 ceiling, 295 648 lined, 299 648 or 301 648 rather 305 648 papered 307 648 with 311 648 a 313 648 glistening 317 648 white 319 648 membrane, 323 648 glossy 325 648 as 329 648 bridal 331 648 satins. 335 648 But 337 648 come 341 648 out 343 648 now, 347 648 and 349 648 look 353 648 at 355 648 this 359 648 portentous 361 648 lower 365 648 jaw, 367 648 which 371 648 seems 373 648 like 377 648 the 379 648 long 383 648 narrow 385 648 lid 389 648 of 391 648 an 395 648 immense 397 648 snuff-box, 401 648 with 403 648 the 407 648 hinge 409 648 at 413 648 one 415 648 end, 419 648 instead 421 648 of 425 648 one 427 648 side. 431 648 If 433 648 you 437 648 pry 439 648 it 443 648 up, 445 648 so 449 648 as 451 648 to 455 648 get 457 648 it 461 648 overhead, 463 648 and 467 648 expose 469 648 its 473 648 rows 475 648 of 479 648 teeth, 481 648 it 485 648 seems 487 648 a 491 648 terrific 493 648 portcullis; 497 648 and 499 648 such, 503 648 alas! 505 648 it 509 648 proves 511 648 to 515 648 many 517 648 a 521 648 poor 523 648 wight 527 648 in 529 648 the 533 648 fishery, 535 648 upon 539 648 whom 541 648 these 545 648 spikes 547 648 fall 551 648 with 553 648 impaling 557 648 force. 559 648 But 563 648 far 565 648 more 569 648 terrible 571 648 is 575 648 it 577 648 to 581 648 behold, 583 648 when 587 648 fathoms 589 648 down 593 648 in 595 648 the 599 648 sea, 601 648 you 605 648 see 607 648 some 611 648 sulky 613 648 whale, 617 648 floating 619 648 there 623 648 suspended, 625 648 with 629 648 his 631 648 prodigious 635 648 jaw, 637 648 some 641 648 fifteen 643 648 feet 647 648 long, 1 649 hanging 2 649 straight 3 649 down 4 649 at 5 649 right-angles 6 649 with 7 649 his 8 649 body, 9 649 for 10 649 all 12 649 the 13 649 world 14 649 like 15 649 a 16 649 ship's 17 649 jib-boom. 18 649 This 19 649 whale 20 649 is 21 649 not 23 649 dead; 24 649 he 25 649 is 26 649 only 27 649 dispirited; 28 649 out 29 649 of 30 649 sorts, 31 649 perhaps; 32 649 hypochondriac; 34 649 and 35 649 so 36 649 supine, 37 649 that 38 649 the 39 649 hinges 40 649 of 41 649 his 42 649 jaw 43 649 have 45 649 relaxed, 46 649 leaving 47 649 him 48 649 there 49 649 in 50 649 that 51 649 ungainly 52 649 sort 53 649 of 54 649 plight, 56 649 a 57 649 reproach 58 649 to 60 649 all 61 649 his 62 649 tribe, 63 649 who 64 649 must, 65 649 no 67 649 doubt, 68 649 imprecate 69 649 lock-jaws 70 649 upon 71 649 him. 72 649 In 73 649 most 74 649 cases 75 649 this 76 649 lower 78 649 jaw--being 79 649 easily 80 649 unhinged 81 649 by 82 649 a 83 649 practised 84 649 artist--is 85 649 disengaged 86 649 and 87 649 hoisted 89 649 on 90 649 deck 91 649 for 92 649 the 93 649 purpose 94 649 of 95 649 extracting 96 649 the 97 649 ivory 98 649 teeth, 100

649 all 116 649 sorts 117 649 of 119 649 curious 120 649 articles, 122 649 including 123 649 canes, 124 649 umbrella-stocks, 125 649 and 126 649 handles 127 649 to 128 649 riding-whips. 129 649 With 130 649 a 131 649 long, 133 649 weary 134 649 hoist 135 649 the 136 649 jaw 137 649 is 138 649 dragged 139 649 on 140 649 board, 141 649 as 142 649 if 144 649 it 145 649 were 146 649 an 147 649 anchor; 148 649 and 149 649 when 150 649 the 151 649 proper 152 649 time 153 649 comes--some 155 649 few 156 649 days 157 649 after 158 649 the 159 649 other 160 649 work--Queequeg, 161 649 Daggoo, 162 649 and 163 649 Tashtego, 164 649 being 166 649 all 167 649 accomplished 168 649 dentists, 169 649 are 170 649 set 171 649 to 172 649 drawing 173 649 teeth. 174 649 With 175 649 a 178 649 keen 179 649 cutting-spade, 180 649 Queequeg 181 649 lances 182 649 the 183 649 gums; 184 649 then 185 649 the 186 649 jaw 188 649 is 189 649 lashed 190 649 down 191 649 to 192 649 ringbolts, 193 649 and 194 649 a 195 649 tackle 196 649 being 197 649 rigged 199 649 from 200 649 aloft, 201 649 they 202 649 drag 203 649 out 204 649 these 205 649 teeth, 206 649 as 207 649 Michigan 208 649 oxen 210 649 drag

in 227 649 all; 228 649 in 229 649 old 230 649 whales, 232 649 much 233 649 worn 234 649 down, 235 649 but 237 649 undecayed; 238 649 nor 239 649 filled 240 649 after 241 649 our 243 649 artificial 244 649 fashion. 245 649 The 246 649 jaw 247 649 is 248 649 afterwards 249 649 sawn 250 649 into 251 649 slabs, 252 649 and 254 649 piled 255 649 away 256 649 like 257 649 joists 258 649 for 259 649 building 260 649 houses. 261 649 CHAPTER 262 649 75 263 649 The 265 649 Right 266 649 Whale's 267 649 Head--Contrasted 268 649 View. 269 649 Crossing 270 649 the 271 649 deck, 272 649 let 273 649 us

the 292 649 noble 293 649 Sperm 294 649 Whale's 296 649 head 298 649 may 299 649 be 300 649 compared 301 649 to 302 649 a 303 649 Roman 304 649 war-chariot 305 649 (especially 306 649 in 307 649 front, 309 649 where 310 649 it 311 649 is 312 649 so 313 649 broadly 314 649 rounded); 315 649 so, 316 649 at 317 649 a 318 649 broad 320 649 view, 321 649 the 322 649 Right 323 649 Whale's 324 649 head 325 649 bears 326 649 a 327 649 rather 328 649 inelegant 329 649 resemblance 331 649 to 332 649 a 333 649 gigantic 334 649 galliot-toed 335 649 shoe. 336 649 Two 337 649 hundred 338 649 years 339 649 ago 340 649 an 342 649 old 343 649 Dutch 344 649 voyager 345 649 likened 346 649 its 347 649 shape 348 649 to 349 649 that 350 649 of 351 649 a 353 649 shoemaker's 355 649 last. 356 649 And 357

thing, 469 649 which 470 649 the 471 649 Greenlanders 474 649 call 475 649 the 476 649 "crown," 477 649 and 478 649 the 479 649 Southern 480 649 fishers 481 649 the 482 649 "bonnet" 483 649 of 485 649

the 502 649 trunk 503 649 of 504 649 some 505 649 huge 507 649 oak, 508 649 with 509 649 a 510 649 bird's 511 649 nest 512 649 in 513 649 its 514 649 crotch. 515 649 At 516 649 any 518 649 rate, 519 649 when 520 649 you 521 649 watch 522 649 those 523 649 live 524 649 crabs 525 649 that 526 649 nestle 527 649 here 529 649 on 530 649 this 532 649 bonnet, 533 649 such 534 649 an 535 649 idea 536

mentioned. 451 650 The 453 650 edges 457 650 of 459 650 these 461 650 bones 463 650 are 467 650 fringed 469 650 with 471 650 hairy 473 650 fibres, 477 650 through 479 650 which 483 650 the 487 650 Right 489 650 Whale 491 650 strains 493 650 the 497 650 water, 499 650 and 501 650 in 503 650 whose 509 650 intricacies 511 650 he 513 650 retains 517 650 the 519 650 small 521 650 fish, 523 650 when 527 650 openmouthed 529 650 he 531 650 goes 537 650 through 539 650 the 541 650 seas 543 650 of 547 650 brit 549 650 in 551 650 feeding 553 650 time. 557 650 In 561 650 the 563 650 central 567 650 blinds 569 650 of 571 650 bone, 573 650 as 577 650 they 579 650 stand 581 650 in 583 650 their 587 650 natural 589 650 order, 591 650 there 593 650 are 597 650 certain 599 650 curious 601 650 marks, 603 650 curves, 607 650 hollows, 609 650 and 613 650 ridges, 617 650 whereby 619 650 some 621 650 whalemen 623 650 calculate 627 650 the 629 650 creature's 631 650 age, 633 650 as 639 650 the 641 650 age 643 650 of 647 650 an 649 650 oak 1 651 by 2 651 its 4 651 circular 5 651 rings. 8 651 Though 10 651 the 11 651 certainty 13 651 of 16 651 this 17 651 criterion 19 651 is 20 651 far 22 651 from 23 651 demonstrable, 25 651 yet 26 651 it 29 651 has 32 651 the 34 651 savor 37 651 of 38 651 analogical 40 651 probability. 41 651 At 43 651 any 44 651 rate, 46 651 if 47 651 we 50 651 yield 52 651 to 53 651 it, 55 651 we 58 651 must 59 651 grant 61 651 a 64 651 far 65 651 greater 67 651 age 68 651 to 71 651 the 73 651 Right 74 651 Whale 76 651 than 79 651 at 80 651 first 82 651 glance 83 651 will 85 651 seem 86 651 reasonable. 88 651 In 89 651 old 92 651 times, 94 651 there 95 651 seem 97 651 to 100 651 have 101 651 prevailed 103 651 the 104 651 most 106 651 curious 107 651 fancies 109 651 concerning 110 651 these 113 651 blinds. 115 651 One 116 651 voyager 118 651 in 121 651 Purchas 122 651 calls 125 651 them 127 651 the 128 651 wondrous 130 651 "whiskers" 131 651 inside 134 651 of 136 651 the 137 651 whale's 139 651 mouth;* 142 651 another, 143 651 "hogs' 145 651 bristles"; 146 651 a 148 651 third 149 651 old 151 651 gentleman 152 651 in 157 651 Hackluyt 158 651 uses 160 651 the 163 651 following 164 651 elegant 166 651 language: 167 651 "There 169 651 are 170 651 about 172 651 two 173 651 hundred 176 651 and 178 651 fifty 179 651 fins 181 651 growing 184 651 on 185 651 each 187 651 side 188 651 of 190 651 his 191 651 upper 193 651 CHOP, 194 651 which 197 651 arch 199 651 over 200 651 his 202 651 tongue 205 651 on 206 651 each 208 651 side 209 651 of 211 651 his 212 651 mouth." 214 651 *This 215 651 reminds 218 651 us 220 651 that 221 651 the 223 651 Right 226 651 Whale 227 651 really 229 651 has 230 651 a 232 651 sort 233 651 of 235 651 whisker, 236 651 or 239 651 rather 241 651 a 242 651 moustache, 244 651 consisting 247 651 of 250 651 a 251 651 few 253 651 scattered 254 651 white 256 651 hairs 257 651 on 260 651 the 262 651 upper 263 651 part 265 651 of 268 651 the 269 651 outer 271 651 end 272 651 of 274 651 the 275 651 lower 277 651 jaw. 278 651 Sometimes 281 651 these 283 651 tufts 284 651 impart 286 651 a 289 651 rather 290 651 brigandish 292 651 expression 293 651 to 295 651 his 296 651 otherwise 298 651 solemn 299 651 countenance. 302 651 As 304 651 every 305 651 one 307 651 knows, 311 651 these 313 651 same 314 651 "hogs' 316 651 bristles," 317 651 "fins," 319 651 "whiskers," 320 651 "blinds," 323 651 or 325 651 whatever 326 651 you 328 651 please, 331 651 furnish 332 651 to 334 651 the 335 651 ladies 337 651 their 338 651 busks 340 651 and 344 651 other 346 651 stiffening 347 651 contrivances. 349 651 But 352 651 in 353 651 this 355 651 particular, 356 651 the 358 651 demand 359 651 has 361 651 long 362 651 been 365 651 on 367 651 the 368 651 decline. 370 651 It 373 651 was 374 651 in 376 651 Queen 377 651 Anne's 379 651 time 380 651 that 382 651 the 383 651 bone 386 651 was 388 651 in 389 651 its 391 651 glory, 394 651 the 395 651 farthingale 397 651 being 398 651 then 400 651 all 401 651 the 404 651 fashion. 407 651 And 409 651 as 410 651 those 412 651 ancient 415 651 dames 416 651 moved 418 651 about 419 651 gaily, 421 651 though 422 651 in 424 651 the 425 651 jaws 428 651 of 430 651 the 431 651 whale, 433 651 as 436 651 you 437 651 may 439 651 say; 440 651 even 442 651 so, 443 651 in 445 651 a 446 651 shower, 449 651 with 451 651 the 452 651 like 454 651 thoughtlessness, 457 651 do 458 651 we 460 651 nowadays 461 651 fly 463 651 under 464 651 the 466 651 same 467 651 jaws 470 651 for 472 651 protection; 473 651 the 475 651 umbrella 478 651 being 479 651 a 481 651 tent 482 651 spread 484 651 over 485 651 the 487 651 same 488 651 bone. 491 651 But 493 651 now 494 651 forget 499 651 all 500 651 about 502 651 blinds 503 651 and 505 651 whiskers 506 651 for 508 651 a 509 651 moment, 512 651 and, 514 651 standing 515 651 in 517 651 the 520 651 Right 521 651 Whale's 523 651 mouth, 524 651 look 526 651 around 529 651 you 530 651 afresh. 533 651 Seeing 535 651 all 536 651 these 538 651 colonnades 541 651 of 542 651 bone 544 651 so 545 651 methodically 547 651 ranged 548 651 about, 550 651 would 551 651 you 554 651 not 556 651 think 557 651 you 559 651 were 562 651 inside 563 651 of 565 651 the 566 651 great 568 651 Haarlem 569 651 organ, 571 651 and 572 651 gazing 575 651 upon 577 651 its 578 651 thousand 580 651 pipes? 583 651 For 584 651 a 586 651 carpet 587 651 to 590 651 the 592 651 organ 593 651 we 596 651 have 598 651 a 599 651 rug 601 651 of 604 651 the 605 651 softest 607 651 Turkey--the 608 651 tongue, 610 651 which 611 651 is 613 651 glued, 614 651 as 617 651 it 619 651 were, 622 651 to 625 651 the 626 651 floor 628 651 of 629 651 the 631 651 mouth. 632 651 It 634 651 is 635 651 very 638 651 fat 640 651 and 641 651 tender, 643 651 and 646 651 apt 647 651 to 649 651 tear 650 651 in 1 652 pieces 3 652 in 5 652 hoisting 7 652 it 9 652 on 11 652 deck. 13 652 This 15 652 particular 17 652 tongue 19 652 now 21 652 before 23 652 us; 25 652 at 27 652 a 29 652 passing 31 652 glance 33 652 I 35 652 should 37 652 say 39 652 it 41 652 was 43 652 a 45 652 six-barreler; 47 652 that 49 652 is, 51 652 it 53 652 will 55 652 yield 57 652 you 59 652 about 61 652 that 63 652 amount 65 652 of 67 652 oil. 69 652 Ere 71 652 this, 73 652 you 75 652 must 77 652 have 79 652 plainly 81 652 seen 83 652 the 85 652 truth 87 652 of 89 652 what 91 652 I 93 652 started 95 652 with--that 97 652 the 99 652 Sperm 101 652 Whale 103 652 and 105 652 the 107 652 Right 109 652 Whale 111 652 have 113 652 almost 115 652 entirely 117 652 different 119 652 heads. 121 652 To 123 652 sum 125 652 up, 127 652 then: 129 652 in 131 652 the 133 652 Right 135 652 Whale's 137 652 there 139 652 is 141 652 no 143 652 great 145 652 well 147 652 of 149 652 sperm; 151 652 no 153 652 ivory 155 652 teeth 157 652 at 159 652 all; 161 652 no 165 652 long, 167 652 slender 169 652 mandible 171 652 of 173 652 a 175 652 lower 177 652 jaw, 179 652 like 181 652 the 183 652 Sperm 185 652 Whale's. 187 652 Nor 189 652 in 191 652 the 193 652 Sperm 195 652 Whale 197 652 are 199 652 there 201 652 any 203 652 of 205 652 those 207 652 blinds 209 652 of 211 652 bone; 213 652 no 215 652 huge 217 652 lower 219 652 lip; 221 652 and 223 652 scarcely 225 652 anything 227 652 of 229 652 a 231 652 tongue. 233 652 Again, 235 652 the 237 652 Right 239 652 Whale 241 652 has 243 652 two 245 652 external 247 652 spout-holes, 249 652 the 251 652 Sperm 253 652 Whale 255 652 only 257 652 one. 259 652 Look 261 652 your 263 652 last, 265 652 now, 267 652 on 269 652 these 271 652 venerable 273 652 hooded 275 652 heads, 277 652 while 279 652 they 281 652 yet 283 652 lie 285 652 together; 287 652 for 289 652 one 291 652 will 293 652 soon 295 652 sink, 297 652 unrecorded, 299 652 in 301 652 the 303 652 sea; 305 652 the 307 652 other 309 652 will 311 652 not 313 652 be 315 652 very 317 652 long 319 652 in 321 652 following. 323 652 Can 325 652 you 327 652 catch 329 652 the 331 652 expression 333 652 of 335 652 the 337 652 Sperm 339 652 Whale's 341 652 there? 343 652 It 345 652 is 347 652 the 349 652 same 351 652 he 353 652 died 355 652 with, 357 652 only 359 652 some 361 652 of 363 652 the 365 652 longer 367 652 wrinkles 369 652 in 371 652 the 373 652 forehead 375 652 seem 377 652 now 379 652 faded 381 652 away. 383 652 I 385 652 think 387 652 his 389 652 broad 391 652 brow 393 652 to 395 652 be 397 652 full 399 652 of 401 652 a 403 652 prairie-like 405 652 placidity, 407 652 born 409 652 of 411 652 a 413 652 speculative 415 652 indifference 417 652 as 419 652 to 421 652 death. 423 652 But 425 652 mark 427 652 the 429 652 other 431 652 head's 433 652 expression. 435 652 See 437 652 that 439 652 amazing 441 652 lower 443 652 lip, 445 652 pressed 447 652 by 449 652 accident 451 652 against 453 652 the 455 652 vessel's 457 652 side, 459 652 so 461 652 as 463 652 firmly 465 652 to 467 652 embrace 469 652 the 471 652 jaw. 473 652 Does 475 652 not 477 652 this 479 652 whole 481 652 head 483 652 seem 485 652 to 487 652 speak 491 652 of 493 652 an 495 652 enormous 497 652 practical 499 652 resolution 501 652 in 503 652 facing 505 652 death? 507 652 This 509 652 Right 511 652 Whale 513 652 I 515 652 take 517 652 to 519 652 have 521 652 been 523 652 a 525 652 Stoic; 527 652 the 529 652 Sperm 531 652 Whale, 533 652 a 535 652 Platonian, 537 652 who 539 652 might 541 652 have 543 652 taken 545 652 up 547 652 Spinoza 549 652 in 551 652 his 553 652 latter 555 652 years. 557 652 CHAPTER

its 615 652 compacted 617 652 collectedness. 619 652 I 621 652 would 623 652 have 625 652 you 627 652 investigate 629 652 it 631 652 now 633 652 with 635 652 the 637 652 sole 639 652 view 641 652 of

Moreover, 261 655 as 263 655 that 264 655 of 266 655 Heidelburgh 267 655 was 268 655 always 269 655 replenished 271 655 with 272 655 the 273 655 most 274 655 excellent 276 655 of 277 655 the 278 655

cabled 254 657 tackles 256 657 suspending 257 657 the 259 657 head; 260 657 or 262 657 whether 263 657 the 265 657 place 266 657 where 268 657 he 269 657 stood 271 657 was 272 657 so 274 657 treacherous 275 657 and 277 657 oozy; 278 657 or 280 657 whether 281 657 the 283 657 Evil 284 657 One 286 657 himself 287 657 would 289 657 have 290 657 it 293 657 to 295 657 fall 296 657 out 298 657

472 657 its 473 657 interior 475 657 bottom. 476 657 Meantime, 478 657 there 479 657 was 481 657 a 482 657 terrible 484 657 tumult. 485 657 Looking 487 657 over 488 657 the 490 657 side, 491 657 they 493 657 saw 494 657 the 496 657 before 497 657 lifeless 499 657 head 500 657 throbbing 502 657 and 503 657 heaving 505 657 just 506 657 below 508 657 the 509 657 surface 512 657 of 514 657 the 515 657

604 657 heard; 605 657 and 607 657 to 608 657 the 610 657 unspeakable 611 657 horror 613 657 of 614 657 all, 616 657 one 617 657 of 619 657 the 620 657 two 622 657 enormous 623 657 hooks 625 657 suspending 626 657 the 628 657 head 629 657 tore 631 657 out, 632 657 and 634 657 with 635 657 a 637 657 vast 638 657 vibration 640 657 the 641 657 enormous 643 657 mass 644 657 sideways 646 657 swung, 647 657 till 649 657 the 650 657 drunk 652 657 ship 653 657 reeled 655 657 and 656 657 shook 1 658 as 3 658 if 5 658 smitten 9 658 by 11 658 an 13 658 iceberg. 15 658 The 17 658 one 19 658

658 point 61 658 of 65 658 giving 67 658 way; 69 658 an 71 658 event 73 658 still 75 658 more 79 658 likely 81 658 from 83 658 the 85 658 violent 87 658 motions 89 658 of 93 658 the 95 658 head. 97 658 "Come 99 658 down, 101 658 come 103 658 down!" 107 658 yelled 109 658 the 111 658 seamen 113 658 to 115 658 Daggoo, 117 658 but 121 658 with 123 658 one 125 658 hand 127 658 holding 129 658 on 131 658 to 135 658 the 137 658 heavy 139 658 tackles, 143 658 so 145 658 that 149 658 if 151 658 the 153 658 head 155 658 should 157 658 drop, 159 658 he 163 658 would 165 658 still 167 658 remain 169 658 suspended; 171 658 the 173 658 negro 177 658 having 179 658 cleared 181 658 the 183 658 foul 185 658 line, 187 658 rammed 191 658 down 193 658 the 195 658 bucket 197 658 into 199 658 the 201 658 now 205 658 collapsed 207 658 well, 209 658 meaning 211 658 that 213 658 the 215 658 buried 219 658 harpooneer 221 658 should 223 658 grasp 225 658 it, 227 658 and 229 658 so 233 658 be 237 658 hoisted 239 658 out. 241 658 "In 243 658 heaven's 247 658 name, 249 658 man," 251 658 cried 253 658 Stubb, 255 658 "are 257 658 you 261 658 ramming 263 658 home 265 658 a 267 658 cartridge 269 658

dropped 373 658 into 375 658 the 377 658 sea, 379 658 like 381 658 Niagara's 383 658 Table-Rock 387 658 into 389 658 the 391 658 whirlpool; 393 658 the 395 658 suddenly 397 658 relieved 401 658 hull 403 658 rolled 405 658 away 407 658 from 409 658 it, 411 658 to 415 658 far 417 658 down 419 658 her 421 658 glittering 425 658 copper; 429 658 and 431 658 all 433 658 caught 435 658 their 437 658 breath, 439 658 as 443 658 half 445 658 swinging--now 447 658 over 449 658 the 451 658 sailors' 453 658 heads, 457 658 and 459 658 now 461 658 over 463 658 the 465 658 water--Daggoo, 467 658 through 471 658 a 473 658 thick 475 658 mist 477 658 of 479 658 spray, 481 658 was 485 658 dimly 487 658 beheld 489 658 clinging 491 658 to 493 658 the 495 658 pendulous 499 658 tackles, 501 658 while 503 658 poor, 505 658 buried-alive 507 658 Tashtego 509 658 was 513 658 sinking 515 658 utterly 519 658 down 521 658 to 523 658 the 527 658 bottom 529 658 of 531 658 the 533 658 sea! 535 658 But 537 658 hardly 541 658 had 543 658 the 545 658 blinding 547 658 vapour 549 658 cleared 551 658 away, 555 658 when 557 658 a 559 658 naked 561 658 figure 563 658 with 565 658 a 569 658 boarding-sword 571 658

a 607 658 loud 613 658 splash 615 658 announced 617 658 that 619 658 my 621 658 brave 625 658 Queequeg 627 658 had 629 658 dived 631 658 to 633 658 the 635 658 rescue. 639 658 One 641 658 packed 643 658 rush 645 658 was 647 658 made 649 658 to 653 658 the 655 658 side, 657 658 and 1 659 every 2 659 eye 3 659 counted 4 659 every 5 659 ripple, 6 659 as 7 659 moment 8 659 followed 9 659 moment, 10

27 659 into 28 659 a 29 659 boat 30 659 alongside, 31 659 and 32 659 pushed 33 659 a 34 659 little 35 659 off 36 659 from 37 659 the 38 659 ship. 39 659 "Ha! 40 659 ha!" 41 659 cried 42 659 Daggoo, 43

659 again 92 659 with 93 659 a 94 659 joyful 95 659 shout; 96 659 and 97 659 soon 98 659 after, 99 659 Queequeg 100 659 was 101 659 seen 102 659 boldly 103 659 striking 104 659 out 105 659 with 106

180 659 then 181 659 dropping 182 659 his 183 659 sword, 184 659 had 185 659 thrust 186 659 his 187 659 long 188 659 arm 189 659 far 190 659 inwards 191 659 and 192 659 upwards, 193 659 and 194 659 so 195 659 hauled 196 659 out 197 659 poor 198 659 Tash 199 659 by 200 659 the 201 659 head. 202 659 He 203 659 averred, 204 659 that 205 659 upon 206 659 first 207 659 thrusting 208 659 in 209 659 for

to 226 659 be, 227 659 and 228 659 might 229 659 occasion 230 659 great 231 659 trouble;--he 232 659 had 233 659 thrust 234 659 back 235 659 the 236 659 leg, 237 659 and 238 659 by 239 659 a 240 659 dexterous 241 659 heave 242 659 and 243 659 toss, 244 659 had 245 659 wrought 246 659 a 247 659 somerset 248 659 upon 249 659 the 250 659 Indian; 251 659 so 252 659 that 253 659 with 254 659 the 255 659 next 256 659 trial, 257 659 he 258 659 came 259 659 forth 260 659 in 261 659 the 262 659 good 263 659 old 264 659 way--head 265 659 foremost. 266 659 As 267 659 for 268 659 the 269 659 great 270 659 head 271 659 itself, 272 659 that 273 659 was 274 659 doing 275 659 as 276 659 well 277 659 as 278 659 could 279 659 be 280 659 expected. 281 659 And 282 659 thus, 283 659 through 284 659 the 285 659 courage 286 659 and 287 659 great 288 659 skill 289 659 in 290 659 obstetrics 291 659 of 292 659 Queequeg, 293 659 the 294 659 deliverance, 295 659 or 296 659 rather, 297 659 delivery 298 659 of 299 659 Tashtego, 300 659 was 301 659 successfully 302 659 accomplished, 303 659 in 304 659 the 305 659 teeth, 306 659 too, 307 659 of 308 659 the 309 659 most 310 659 untoward 311 659 and 312 659 apparently 313 659 hopeless 314 659 impediments; 315 659 which 316 659 is 317 659 a 318 659 lesson 319 659 by 320 659 no 321 659 means 322 659 to 323 659 be 324 659 forgotten. 325 659 Midwifery 326 659 should 327 659 be 328 659 taught 329 659 in 330 659 the 331 659 same 332 659 course 333 659 with 334 659 fencing 335 659 and 336 659 boxing, 337 659 riding 338 659 and 339 659 rowing. 340 659 I 341 659 know 342 659 that 343 659 this 344 659 queer 345 659 adventure 346 659 of 347 659 the 348 659 Gay-Header's 349 659 will 350 659 be 351 659 sure 352 659 to 353 659 seem 354 659 incredible 355 659 to 356 659 some 357 659 landsmen, 358 659 though 359 659 they 360 659 themselves 361 659 may 362 659 have 363 659 either 364 659 seen 365 659 or 366 659 heard 367 659 of 368 659 some 369 659 one's 370 659 falling 371 659 into 372 659 a 373 659 cistern 374 659 ashore; 375 659 an 376 659 accident 377 659 which 378 659 not 379 659 seldom 380 659 happens, 381 659 and 382 659 with 383 659 much 384 659 less 385 659 reason 386 659 too 387 659 than 388 659 the 389 659 Indian's, 390 659 considering 391 659 the 392 659 exceeding 393 659 slipperiness 394 659 of 395 659 the 396 659 curb 397 659 of 398 659 the 399 659 Sperm 400 659 Whale's 401 659 well. 402 659 But, 403 659 peradventure, 404 659 it 405 659 may 406 659 be 407 659 sagaciously 408 659 urged, 409 659 how 410 659 is 411 659 this? 412 659 We 413 659 thought 414 659 the 415 659 tissued, 416 659 infiltrated 417 659 head 418 659 of 419 659 the 420 659 Sperm 421 659 Whale, 422 659 was 423 659 the 424 659 lightest 425 659 and 426 659 most 427 659 corky 428 659 part 429 659 about 430 659 him; 431 659 and 432 659 yet 433 659 thou 434 659 makest 435 659 it 436 659 sink 437 659 in 438 659 an 439 659 element 440 659 of 441 659 a 442 659 far 443 659 greater 444 659 specific 445 659 gravity 446 659 than 447 659 itself. 448 659 We 449 659 have 450 659 thee 451 659 there. 452 659 Not 453 659 at 454 659 all, 455 659 but 456 659 I 457 659 have 458 659 ye; 459 659 for 460 659 at 461 659 the 462 659 time 463 659 poor 464 659 Tash 465 659 fell 466 659 in, 467 659 the 468 659 case 469 659 had 470 659 been 471 659 nearly 472 659 emptied 473 659 of 474 659 its 475 659 lighter 476 659 contents, 477 659 leaving 478 659 little 479 659 but 480 659 the 481 659 dense 482 659 tendinous 483 659 wall 484 659 of 485 659 the 486 659 well--a 487 659 double 488 659 welded, 489 659 hammered 490 659 substance, 491 659 as 492 659 I 493 659 have 494 659 before 495 659 said, 496 659 much 497 659 heavier 498 659 than 499 659 the 500 659 sea 501 659 water, 502 659 and 503 659 a 504 659 lump 505 659 of 506 659 which 507 659 sinks 508 659 in 509 659 it 510 659 like 511 659 lead 512 659 almost. 513 659 But 514 659 the 515 659 tendency 516 659 to 517 659 rapid 518 659 sinking 519 659 in 520 659 this 521 659 substance 522 659 was 523 659 in 524 659 the 525 659 present 526 659 instance 527 659 materially 528 659 counteracted 529 659 by 530 659 the 531 659 other 532 659 parts 533 659 of 534 659 the 535 659 head 536 659 remaining 537 659 undetached 538 659 from 539 659 it, 540 659 so 541 659 that 542 659 it 543 659 sank 544 659 very 545 659 slowly 546 659 and 547 659 deliberately 548 659 indeed, 549 659 affording 550 659 Queequeg 551 659 a 552 659 fair 553 659 chance 554 659 for 555 659 performing 556 659 his 557 659 agile 558 659 obstetrics 559 659 on 560 659 the 561 659 run, 562 659 as 563 659 you 564 659 may 565 659 say. 566 659 Yes, 567 659 it 568 659 was 569 659 a 570 659 running 571 659 delivery, 572 659 so 573 659 it 574 659 was. 575 659 Now, 576 659 had 577 659 Tashtego 578 659 perished 579 659 in 580 659 that 581 659 head, 582 659 it 583 659 had 584 659 been 585 659 a 586 659 very 587 659 precious 588 659 perishing; 589 659 smothered 590 659 in 591 659 the 592 659 very 593 659 whitest 594 659 and 595 659 daintiest 596 659 of 597 659 fragrant 598 659 spermaceti; 599 659 coffined, 600 659 hearsed, 601 659 and 602 659 tombed 603 659 in 604 659 the 605 659 secret 606 659 inner 607 659 chamber 608 659 and 609 659 sanctum 610 659 sanctorum 611 659 of 612 659 the 613 659 whale. 614 659 Only 615 659 one 616 659 sweeter 617 659 end 618 659 can 619 659 readily 620 659 be 621 659 recalled--the 622 659 delicious 623 659 death 624 659 of 625 659 an 626 659 Ohio 627 659 honey-hunter, 628 659 who 629 659 seeking 630 659 honey 631 659 in 632 659 the 633 659 crotch 634 659 of 635 659 a 636 659 hollow 637 659 tree, 638 659 found 639 659 such 640 659 exceeding 641 659 store 642 659 of 643 659 it, 644 659 that 645 659 leaning 646 659 too 647 659 far 648 659 over, 649 659 it 650 659 sucked 651 659 him 652 659 in, 653 659 so 654 659 that 655 659 he 656 659 died 657 659 embalmed. 658 659 How 1 660 many, 7 660

The 71 660 Prairie. 73 660 To 79 660 scan 83 660 the 89 660 lines 91 660 of 97 660 his 101 660 face, 103 660 or 107 660 feel 109 660 the 113 660 bumps 119 660 on 127 660 the 131 660 head 133 660 of 137 660 this 139 660 Leviathan; 149 660 this 151 660 is 157 660 a 161 660 thing 163 660 which 167 660 no 169 660 Physiognomist 173 660 or 179 660 Phrenologist 181 660 has 191 660 as 193 660 yet 197 660 undertaken. 199 660 Such 203 660 an 211 660 enterprise 217 660 would 221 660 seem 223 660 almost 227 660 as 229 660 hopeful 233 660 as 239 660 for 241 660 Lavater 247 660 to 251 660 have 257 660 scrutinized 259 660 the 263 660 wrinkles 269 660 on 271 660 the 277 660 Rock 281 660 of 283 660 Gibraltar, 287 660 or 289 660 for 293 660 Gall 299 660 to 301 660 have 307 660 mounted 311 660 a 313 660 ladder 317 660 and 323 660 manipulated 329 660 the 331 660 Dome 337 660 of 343 660 the 347 660 Pantheon. 349 660 Still, 353 660 in 359 660 that 361 660 famous 367 660 work 371 660 of 373 660 his, 377 660 Lavater 379 660 not 383 660 only 389 660 treats 391 660 of 397 660 the 401 660 various 403 660 faces 409 660 of 413 660 men, 419 660 but 421 660 also 427 660 attentively 431 660 studies 433 660 the 437 660 faces 439 660 of 443 660 horses, 449 660 birds, 457 660 serpents, 461 660 and 463 660 fish; 467 660 and 469 660 dwells 479 660 in 481 660 detail 487 660 upon 491 660 the 493 660 modifications 497 660 of 499 660 expression 503 660 discernible 509 660 therein. 511 660 Nor 521 660 have 523 660 Gall 527 660 and 529 660 his 533 660 disciple 541 660 Spurzheim 547 660 failed 551 660 to 553 660 throw 557 660 out 559 660 some 563 660 hints 569 660 touching 571 660 the 577 660 phrenological 581 660 characteristics 587 660 of 589 660 other 593 660 beings 599 660 than 601 660 man. 607 660 Therefore, 611 660 though 613 660 I 617 660 am 619 660 but 623 660 ill 629 660 qualified 631 660 for 637 660 a 641 660 pioneer, 643 660 in 647 660 the 653 660 application 659 660 of 1 661 these 2 661 two 3 661 semi-sciences 4 661 to 5 661 the 6 661 whale, 7 661 I 8 661 will 9 661 do 10 661 my 11 661 endeavor. 12 661 I 13 661 try 14 661 all 15 661 things; 16 661 I 17 661 achieve 18 661 what 19 661 I 20 661 can. 21 661 Physiognomically 22 661 regarded, 23 661 the 24 661 Sperm 25 661 Whale 26 661 is 27 661 an 28 661 anomalous 29 661 creature. 30 661 He 31 661 has 32 661 no 33 661 proper 34 661 nose. 35 661 And 36 661 since 37 661 the 38 661 nose 39 661 is 40 661 the 41 661 central 42 661 and 43 661 most 44 661 conspicuous 45 661 of 46 661 the 47 661 features; 48 661 and 49 661 since 50 661 it 51 661 perhaps 52 661 most 53 661 modifies 54 661 and 55 661 finally 56 661 controls 57 661 their 58 661 combined 59 661 expression; 60 661 hence 61 661 it 62 661 would 63 661 seem 64 661 that 65 661 its 66 661 entire 67 661 absence, 68 661 as 69 661 an 70 661 external 71 661 appendage, 72 661 must 73 661 very 74 661 largely 75 661 affect 76 661 the 77 661 countenance 78 661 of 79 661 the 80 661 whale. 81 661 For 82 661 as 83 661 in 84 661 landscape 85 661 gardening, 86 661 a 87 661 spire, 88 661 cupola, 89 661 monument, 90 661 or 91 661 tower 92 661 of 93 661 some 94 661 sort, 95 661 is 96 661 deemed 97 661 almost 98 661 indispensable 99 661 to 100 661 the 101 661 completion 102 661 of 103 661 the 104 661 scene; 105 661 so 106 661 no 107 661 face 108 661 can 109 661 be 110 661 physiognomically 111 661 in 112 661 keeping 113 661 without 114 661 the 115 661 elevated 116 661 open-work 117 661 belfry 118 661 of 119 661 the 120 661 nose. 121 661 Dash 122 661 the 123 661 nose 124 661 from 125 661 Phidias's 126 661 marble 127 661 Jove, 128 661 and 129 661 what 130 661 a 131 661 sorry 132 661 remainder! 133 661 Nevertheless, 134 661 Leviathan 135 661 is 136 661 of 137 661 so 138 661 mighty 139 661 a 140 661 magnitude, 141 661 all 142 661 his 143 661 proportions 144 661 are 145 661 so 146 661 stately, 147 661 that 148 661 the 149 661 same 150 661 deficiency 151 661 which 152 661 in 153 661 the 154 661 sculptured 155 661 Jove 156 661 were 157 661 hideous, 158 661 in 159 661 him 160 661 is 161 661 no 162 661 blemish 163 661 at 164 661 all. 165 661 Nay, 166 661 it 167 661 is 168 661 an 169 661 added 170 661 grandeur. 171 661 A 172 661 nose 173 661 to 174 661 the 175 661 whale 176 661 would 177 661 have 178 661 been 179 661 impertinent. 180 661 As 181 661 on 182 661 your 183 661 physiognomical 184 661 voyage 185 661 you 186 661 sail 187 661 round 188 661 his 189 661 vast 190 661 head 191 661 in 192 661 your 193 661 jolly-boat, 194 661 your 195 661 noble 196 661 conceptions 197 661 of 198 661 him 199 661 are 200 661 never 201 661 insulted 202 661 by 203 661 the 204 661 reflection 205 661 that 206 661 he 207 661 has 208 661 a 209 661 nose 210 661 to 211 661 be 212 661 pulled. 213 661 A 214 661 pestilent 215 661 conceit, 216 661 which 217 661 so 218 661 often 219 661 will 220 661 insist 221 661 upon 222 661 obtruding 223 661 even 224 661 when 225 661 beholding 226 661 the 227 661 mightiest 228 661 royal 229 661 beadle 230 661 on 231 661 his 232 661 throne. 233 661 In 234 661 some 235 661 particulars, 236 661 perhaps 237 661 the 238 661 most 239 661 imposing 240 661 physiognomical 241 661 view 242 661 to 243 661 be 244 661 had 245 661 of 246 661 the 247 661 Sperm 248 661 Whale, 249 661 is 250 661 that 251 661 of 252 661 the 253 661 full 254 661 front 255 661 of 256 661 his 257 661 head. 258 661 This 259 661 aspect 260 661 is 261 661 sublime. 262 661 In 263 661 thought, 264 661 a 265 661 fine 266 661 human 267 661 brow 268 661 is 269 661 like 270 661 the 271 661 East 272 661 when 273 661 troubled 274 661 with 275 661 the 276 661 morning. 277 661 In 278 661 the 279 661 repose 280 661 of 281 661 the 282 661 pasture, 283 661 the 284 661 curled 285 661 brow 286 661 of 287 661 the 288 661 bull 289 661 has 290 661 a 291 661 touch 292 661 of 293 661 the 294 661 grand 295 661 in 296 661 it. 297 661 Pushing 298 661 heavy 299 661 cannon 300 661 up 301 661 mountain 302 661 defiles, 303 661 the 304 661 elephant's 305 661 brow 306 661 is 307 661 majestic. 308 661 Human 309 661 or 310 661 animal, 311 661 the 312 661 mystical 313 661 brow 314 661 is 315 661 as 316 661 that 317 661 great 318 661 golden 319 661 seal 320 661 affixed 321 661 by 322 661 the 323 661 German 324 661 Emperors 325 661 to 326 661 their 327 661 decrees. 328 661 It 329 661 signifies--"God: 330 661 done 331 661 this 332 661 day 333 661 by 334 661 my 335 661 hand." 336 661 But 337 661 in 338 661 most 339 661 creatures, 340 661 nay 341 661 in 342 661 man 343 661 himself, 344 661 very 345 661 often 346 661 the 347 661 brow 348 661 is 349 661 but 350 661 a 351 661 mere 352 661 strip 353 661 of 354 661 alpine 355 661 land 356 661 lying 357 661 along 358 661 the 359 661 snow 360 661 line. 361 661 Few 362 661 are 363 661 the 364 661 foreheads 365 661 which 366 661 like 367 661 Shakespeare's 368 661 or 369 661 Melancthon's 370 661 rise 371 661 so 372 661 high, 373 661 and 374 661 descend 375 661 so 376 661 low, 377 661 that 378 661 the 379 661 eyes 380 661 themselves 381 661 seem 382 661 clear, 383 661 eternal, 384 661 tideless 385 661 mountain 386 661 lakes; 387 661 and 388 661 all 389 661 above 390 661 them 391 661 in 392 661 the 393 661 forehead's 394 661 wrinkles, 395 661 you 396 661 seem 397 661 to 398 661 track 399 661 the 400 661 antlered 401 661 thoughts 402 661 descending 403 661 there 404 661 to 405 661 drink, 406 661 as 407 661 the 408 661 Highland 409 661 hunters 410 661 track 411 661 the 412 661 snow 413 661 prints 414 661 of 415 661 the 416 661 deer. 417 661 But 418 661 in 419 661 the 420 661 great 421 661 Sperm 422 661 Whale, 423 661 this 424 661 high 425 661 and 426 661 mighty 427 661 god-like 428 661 dignity 429 661 inherent 430 661 in 431 661 the 432 661 brow 433 661 is 434 661 so 435 661 immensely 436 661 amplified, 437 661 that 438 661 gazing 439 661 on 440 661 it, 441 661 in 442 661 that 443 661 full 444 661 front 445 661 view, 446 661 you 447 661 feel 448 661 the 449 661 Deity 450 661 and 451 661 the 452 661 dread 453 661 powers 454 661 more 455 661 forcibly 456 661 than 457 661 in 458 661 beholding 459 661 any 460 661 other 461 661 object 462 661 in 463 661 living 464 661 nature. 465 661 For 466 661 you 467 661 see 468 661 no 469 661 one 470 661 point 471 661 precisely; 472 661 not 473 661 one 474 661 distinct 475 661 feature 476 661 is 477 661 revealed; 478 661 no 479 661 nose, 480 661 eyes, 481 661 ears, 482 661 or 483 661 mouth; 484 661 no 485 661 face; 486 661 he 487 661 has 488 661 none, 489 661 proper; 490 661 nothing 491 661 but 492 661 that 493 661 one 494 661 broad 495 661 firmament 496 661 of 497 661 a 498 661 forehead, 499 661 pleated 500 661 with 501 661 riddles; 502 661 dumbly 503 661 lowering 504 661 with 505 661 the 506 661 doom 507 661 of 508 661 boats, 509 661 and 510 661 ships, 511 661 and 512 661 men. 513 661 Nor, 514 661 in 515 661 profile, 516 661 does 517 661 this 518 661 wondrous 519 661 brow 520 661 diminish; 521 661 though 522 661 that 523 661 way 524 661 viewed 525 661 its 526 661 grandeur 527 661 does 528 661 not 529 661 domineer 530 661 upon 531 661 you 532 661 so. 533 661 In 534 661 profile, 535 661 you 536 661 plainly 537 661 perceive 538 661 that 539 661 horizontal, 540 661 semi-crescentic 541 661 depression 542 661 in 543 661 the 544 661 forehead's 545 661 middle, 546 661 which, 547 661 in 548 661 man, 549 661 is 550 661 Lavater's 551 661 mark 552 661 of 553 661 genius. 554 661 But 555 661 how? 556 661 Genius 557 661 in 558 661 the 559 661 Sperm 560 661 Whale? 561 661 Has 562 661 the 563 661 Sperm 564 661 Whale 565 661 ever 566 661 written 567 661 a 568 661 book, 569 661 spoken 570 661 a 571 661 speech? 572 661 No, 573 661 his 574 661 great 575 661 genius 576 661 is 577 661 declared 578 661 in 579 661 his 580 661 doing 581 661 nothing 582 661 particular 583 661 to 584 661 prove 585 661 it. 586 661 It 587 661 is 588 661 moreover 589 661 declared 590 661 in 591 661 his 592 661 pyramidical 593 661 silence. 594 661 And 595 661 this 596 661 reminds 597 661 me 598 661 that 599 661 had 600 661 the 601 661 great 602 661 Sperm 603 661 Whale 604 661 been 605 661 known 606 661 to 607 661 the 608 661 young 609 661 Orient 610 661 World, 611 661 he 612 661 would 613 661 have 614 661 been 615 661 deified 616 661 by 617 661 their 618 661 child-magian 619 661 thoughts. 620 661 They 621 661 deified 622 661 the 623 661 crocodile 624 661 of 625 661 the 626 661 Nile, 627 661 because 628 661 the 629 661 crocodile 630 661 is 631 661 tongueless; 632 661 and 633 661 the 634 661 Sperm 635 661 Whale 636 661 has 637 661 no 638 661 tongue, 639 661 or 640 661 at 641 661 least 642 661 it 643 661 is 644 661 so 645 661 exceedingly 646 661 small, 647 661 as 648 661 to 649 661 be 650 661 incapable 651 661 of 652 661 protrusion. 653 661 If 654 661 hereafter 655 661 any 656 661 highly 657 661 cultured, 658 661 poetical 659 661 nation 660 661 shall 1 662 lure 3 662 back 5 662 to 7 662 their 9 662 birth-right, 11 662 the 13 662 merry 15 662 May-day 17 662 gods 19 662 of 21 662 old; 23 662 and 25 662 livingly 27 662 enthrone 29 662 them 31 662 again 33 662 in 35 662 the 37 662 now 39 662 egotistical 41 662 sky; 43 662 in 45 662 the 47 662 now 49 662 unhaunted 51 662 hill; 53 662 then 55 662 be 57 662 sure, 59 662 exalted 61 662 to 63 662 Jove's 65 662 high 67 662 seat, 69 662 the 71 662 great 73 662 Sperm 75 662 Whale 77 662 shall 79 662 lord 81 662 it. 83 662 Champollion 85 662 deciphered 87 662 the 89 662 wrinkled 91 662 granite 93 662 hieroglyphics. 95 662 But 97 662 there 99 662 is 101 662 no 103 662 Champollion 105 662 to 107 662 decipher 109 662 the 111 662 Egypt 113 662 of 115 662 every 117 662 man's 119 662 and 121 662 every 123 662 being's 125 662 face. 127 662 Physiognomy, 129 662 like 131 662 every 133 662 other 135 662 human 137 662 science, 139 662 is 141 662 but 143 662 a 145 662 passing 147 662 fable. 149 662 If 151 662 then, 153 662 Sir 155 662 William 157 662 Jones, 159 662 who 161 662 read 163 662 in 165 662 thirty 167 662 languages, 169 662 could 171 662 not 173 662 read 175 662 the 177 662 simplest 179 662 peasant's 181 662 face 183 662 in 185 662 its 187 662 profounder 189 662 and 191 662 more 193 662 subtle 195 662 meanings, 197 662 how 199 662 may 201 662 unlettered 203 662 Ishmael 205 662 hope 207 662 to 209 662 read 211 662 the 213 662 awful 215 662 Chaldee 217 662 of 219 662 the 221 662 Sperm 223 662 Whale's 225 662 brow? 227 662 I 229 662 but 231 662 put 233 662 that 235 662 brow 237 662 before 239 662 you. 241 662 Read 243 662 it 245 662 if 247 662 you 249 662 can. 251 662 CHAPTER 253 662 80 255 662 The 257 662 Nut. 259 662 If 261 662 the 263 662 Sperm 265 662 Whale 267 662 be 269 662 physiognomically 271 662 a 273 662 Sphinx, 275 662 to 277 662 the 279 662 phrenologist 281 662 his 283 662 brain 285 662 seems 287 662 that 289 662 geometrical 291 662 circle 293 662 which 295 662 it 297 662 is 299 662 impossible 301 662 to 303 662 square. 305 662 In 307 662 the 309 662 full-grown 311 662 creature 313 662 the 315 662 skull 317 662 will 319 662 measure 321 662 at 323 662 least 325 662 twenty 327 662 feet 329 662 in 333 662 length. 335 662 Unhinge 337 662 the 339 662 lower 341 662 jaw, 343 662 and 345 662 the 347 662 side 349 662 view 351 662 of 353 662 this 355 662 skull 357 662 is 359 662 as 361 662 the 363 662 side 365 662 of 367 662 a 369 662 moderately 371 662 inclined 373 662 plane 375 662 resting 377 662 throughout 379 662 on 381 662 a 383 662 level 385 662 base. 387 662 But 389 662 in 391 662 life--as 393 662 we 395 662 have 397 662 elsewhere 399 662 seen--this 401 662 inclined 403 662 plane 405 662 is 407 662 angularly 409 662 filled 411 662 up, 413 662 and 415 662 almost 417 662 squared 419 662 by 421 662 the 423 662 enormous 425 662 superincumbent 427 662 mass 429 662 of 431 662 the 433 662 junk 435 662 and 437 662 sperm. 439 662 At 441 662 the 443 662 high 445 662 end 447 662 the 449 662 skull 451 662 forms 453 662 a 455 662 crater 457 662 to 459 662 bed 461 662 that 463 662 part 465 662 of 467 662 the 469 662 mass; 471 662 while 473 662 under 475 662 the 477 662 long 479 662 floor 481 662 of 483 662 this 485 662 crater--in 487 662 another 489 662 cavity 491 662 seldom 493 662 exceeding 495 662 ten 497 662 inches 499 662 in 501 662 length 503 662 and 505 662 as 507 662 many 509 662 in 511 662 depth--reposes 513 662 the 515 662 mere 517 662 handful 519 662 of 521 662 this 523 662 monster's 525 662 brain. 527 662 The 529 662

away 561 662 behind 563 662 its 565 662 vast 567 662 outworks, 569 662 like 571 662 the 573 662 innermost 575 662 citadel 577 662 within 579 662 the 581 662 amplified 583 662 fortifications 585 662 of 587 662 Quebec. 589 662 So 591 662 like 593 662 a 595 662 choice 597 662 casket 599 662 is 601 662 it 603 662 secreted 605 662 in 607 662 him, 609 662 that 611 662 I 613 662 have 615 662 known 617 662 some 619 662 whalemen 621 662 who 623 662 peremptorily 625 662 deny 627 662 that 629 662 the 631 662 Sperm 633 662 Whale 635 662 has 637 662 any 639 662 other 641 662 brain 643 662 than 645 662 that

11 663 folds, 14 663 courses, 16 663 and 19 663 convolutions, 20 663 to 22 663 their 23 663 apprehensions, 25 663 it 28 663 seems 29 663 more 31 663 in 32 663 keeping 35 663 with 37 663 the 38 663 idea 40 663 of 41 663 his 43 663 general 44 663 might 46 663 to 47 663 regard 49 663 that 50 663 mystic 53 663 part 55 663 of 56 663 him 58 663 as 59 663 the 61 663 seat 62 663 of 64 663 his 67 663 intelligence. 70 663 It 71 663 is 73 663 plain, 74 663 then, 76 663 that 77 663 phrenologically 79 663 the 80 663 head 82 663 of 83 663 this 86 663 Leviathan, 88 663 in 89 663 the 92 663 creature's 94 663 living 95 663 intact 97 663 state, 98 663 is 100 663 an 101 663 entire 103 663 delusion. 106 663 As 107 663 for 109 663 his 110 663 true 112 663 brain, 113 663 you 115 663 can 116 663 then 118 663 see 121 663 no 122 663 indications 124 663 of 125 663 it, 127 663 nor 128 663 feel 131 663 any. 133 663 The 134 663 whale, 137 663 like 139 663 all 140 663 things 142 663 that 145 663 are 146 663 mighty, 148 663 wears 149 663 a 151 663 false 152 663 brow 154 663 to 155 663 the 157 663 common 158 663 world. 160 663 If 161 663 you 163 663 unload 164 663 his 166 663 skull 167 663 of 172 663 its 173 663 spermy 175 663 heaps 176 663 and 178 663 then 179 663 take 181 663 a 184 663 rear 185 663 view 188 663 of 190 663 its 191 663 rear 193 663 end, 194 663 which 196 663 is 197 663 the 199 663 high 200 663 end, 202 663 you 203 663 will 205 663 be 206 663 struck 209 663 by 211 663 its 212 663 resemblance 214 663 to 215 663 the 217 663 human 218 663 skull, 220 663 beheld 223 663 in 224 663 the 226 663 same 227 663 situation, 229 663 and 230 663 from 232 663 the 233 663 same 235 663 point 236 663 of 239 663 view. 241 663 Indeed, 242 663 place 244 663 this 245 663 reversed 248 663 skull 250 663 (scaled 251 663 down 253 663 to 254 663 the 256 663 human 257 663 magnitude) 259 663 among 262 663 a 263 663 plate 265 663 of 266 663 men's 268 663 skulls, 269 663 and 271 663 you 274 663 would 275 663 involuntarily 277 663 confound 278 663 it 280 663 with 281 663 them; 283 663 and 284 663 remarking 287 663 the 290 663 depressions 292 663 on 293 663 one 295 663 part 296 663 of 298 663 its 301 663 summit, 302 663 in 304 663 phrenological 305 663 phrase 307 663 you 308 663 would 310 663 say--This 311 663 man 313 663 had 314 663 no 316 663 self-esteem, 317 663 and 319 663 no 320 663 veneration. 322 663 And 326 663 by 328 663 those 329 663 negations, 331 663 considered 332 663 along 334 663 with 335 663 the 337 663 affirmative 341 663 fact 343 663 of 344 663 his 346 663 prodigious 347 663 bulk 349 663 and 350 663 power, 352 663 you 353 663 can 355 663 best 356 663 form 358 663 to 359 663 yourself 361 663 the 362 663 truest, 365 663 though 367 663 not 368 663 the 370 663 most 371 663 exhilarating 373 663 conception 376 663 of 379 663 what 380 663 the 382 663 most 383 663 exalted 385 663 potency 386 663 is. 388 663 But 389 663 if 392 663 from 394 663 the 395 663 comparative 397 663 dimensions 398 663 of 400 663 the 401 663 whale's 404 663 proper 406 663 brain, 407 663 you 409 663 deem 410 663 it 412 663 incapable 413 663 of 415 663 being 418 663 adequately 419 663 charted, 421 663 then 422 663 I 424 663 have 427 663 another 428 663 idea 430 663 for 431 663 you. 433 663 If 434 663 you 436 663 attentively 437 663 regard 439 663 almost 440 663 any 443 663 quadruped's 445 663 spine, 446 663 you 448 663 will 449 663 be 451 663 struck 452 663 with 454 663 the 457 663 resemblance 458 663 of 460 663 its 461 663 vertebrae 463 663 to 464 663 a 466 663 strung 467 663 necklace 469 663 of 470 663 dwarfed 472 663 skulls, 473 663 all 475 663 bearing 478 663 rudimental 479 663 resemblance 482 663 to 484 663 the 485 663 skull 487 663 proper. 488 663 It 490 663 is 491 663 a 496 663 German 497 663 conceit, 499 663 that 500 663 the 502 663 vertebrae 503 663 are 505 663 absolutely 506 663 undeveloped 508 663 skulls. 509 663 But 511 663 the 512 663 curious 514 663 external 515 663 resemblance, 517 663 I 518 663 take 521 663 it 523 663 the 524 663 Germans 526 663 were 529 663 not 530 663 the 532 663 first 535 663 men 536 663 to 538 663 perceive. 539 663 A 541 663 foreign 542 663 friend 545 663 once 547 663 pointed 548 663 it 550 663 out 551 663 to 553 663 me, 554 663 in 556 663 the 557 663 skeleton 560 663 of 562 663 a 563 663 foe 565 663 he 566 663 had 568 663 slain, 569 663 and 571 663 with 574 663 the 575 663 vertebrae 577 663 of 580 663 which 581 663 he 583 663 was 584 663 inlaying, 586 663 in 587 663 a 589 663 sort 590 663 of 592 663 basso-relievo, 593 663 the 596 663 beaked 599 663 prow 601 663 of 602 663 his 604 663 canoe. 605 663 Now, 607 663 I 608 663 consider 610 663 that 613 663 the 614 663 phrenologists 616 663 have 617 663 omitted 619 663 an 620 663 important 622 663 thing 623 663 in 625 663 not 626 663 pushing 628 663 their 631 663 investigations 632 663 from 634 663 the 635 663 cerebellum 638 663 through 640 663 the 641 663 spinal 643 663 canal. 644 663 For 647 663 I 649 663 believe 652 663 that 653 663 much 655 663 of 656 663 a 658 663 man's 659 663 character 661 663 will 662 663 be 1 664 found 3 664 betokened 5 664 in 7 664 his 9 664 backbone. 11 664 I 13 664 would 15 664 rather 17 664 feel 19 664 your 21 664 spine 23 664 than 25 664 your 27 664 skull, 29 664 whoever 31 664 you 33 664 are. 35 664 A 37 664 thin 39 664 joist 41 664 of 43 664 a 45 664 spine 47 664 never 49 664 yet 51 664 upheld 53 664 a 55 664 full 57 664 and 59 664 noble 61 664 soul. 63 664 I 65 664 rejoice 67 664 in 69 664 my 71 664 spine, 73 664 as 75 664 in 77 664 the 79 664 firm 81 664 audacious 85 664 staff 87 664 of 89 664 that 91 664 flag 93 664 which 95 664 I 97 664 fling 99 664 half 101 664 out 103 664 to 105 664 the 107 664 world. 109 664 Apply 111 664 this 113 664 spinal 115 664 branch 117 664 of 119 664 phrenology 121 664 to 123 664 the 125 664 Sperm 127 664 Whale. 129 664 His 131 664 cranial 133 664 cavity 135 664 is 137 664 continuous 139 664 with 141 664 the 143 664 first 145 664 neck-vertebra; 147 664 and 149 664 in 151 664 that 153 664 vertebra 155 664 the 157 664 bottom 159 664 of 161 664 the 163 664 spinal 165 664 canal 167 664 will 169 664 measure 171 664 ten 173 664 inches 175 664 across, 177 664 being 179 664 eight 181 664 in 183 664 height, 185 664 and 187 664 of 189 664 a 191 664 triangular 193 664 figure 195 664 with 197 664 the 199 664 base 201 664 downwards. 203 664 As 205 664 it 207 664 passes 209 664 through 211 664 the 213 664 remaining 215 664 vertebrae 217 664 the 219 664 canal 221 664 tapers 223 664 in 225 664 size, 227 664 but 229 664 for 231 664 a 233 664 considerable 235 664 distance 237 664 remains 239 664 of 241 664 large 243 664 capacity. 245 664 Now, 247 664 of 251 664 course, 253 664 this 255 664 canal 257 664 is 259 664 filled 261 664 with 263 664 much 265 664 the 267 664 same 269 664 strangely 271 664 fibrous 273 664 substance--the 275 664 spinal 277 664 cord--as 279 664 the 281 664 brain; 283 664 and 285 664 directly 287 664 communicates 289 664 with 291 664 the 293 664 brain. 295 664 And 297 664 what 299 664 is 301 664 still 303 664 more, 305 664 for 307 664 many 309 664 feet 311 664 after 313 664 emerging 315 664 from 317 664 the 319 664 brain's 321 664 cavity, 323 664 the 325 664 spinal 327 664 cord 329 664 remains 331 664 of 333 664 an 335 664 undecreasing 337 664 girth, 339 664 almost 341 664 equal 343 664 to 345 664 that 347 664 of 349 664 the 351 664 brain. 353 664 Under 355 664 all 357 664 these 359 664 circumstances, 361 664 would 363 664 it 365 664 be 367 664 unreasonable 369 664 to 371 664 survey 373 664 and 375 664 map 377 664 out 379 664 the 381 664 whale's 383 664 spine 385 664 phrenologically? 387 664 For, 389 664 viewed 391 664 in 393 664 this 395 664 light, 397 664 the 399 664 wonderful 401 664 comparative 403 664 smallness 405 664 of 407 664 his 409 664 brain 411 664 proper 413 664 is 417 664 more 419 664 than 421 664 compensated 423 664 by 425 664 the 427 664 wonderful 429 664 comparative 431 664 magnitude 433 664 of 435 664 his 437 664 spinal 439 664 cord. 441 664 But 443 664 leaving 445 664 this 447 664 hint 449 664 to 451 664 operate 453 664 as 455 664 it 457 664 may 459 664 with 461 664 the 463 664 phrenologists, 465 664 I 467 664 would 469 664 merely 471 664 assume 473 664 the 475 664 spinal 477 664 theory 479 664 for 481 664 a 483 664 moment, 485 664 in 487 664 reference 489 664 to 491 664 the 493 664 Sperm 495 664 Whale's 497 664 hump. 499 664 This 501 664 august 503 664 hump, 505 664 if 507 664 I 509 664 mistake 511 664 not, 513 664 rises 515 664 over 517 664 one 519 664 of 521 664 the 523 664 larger 525 664 vertebrae, 527 664 and 529 664 is, 531 664 therefore, 533 664 in 535 664 some 537 664 sort, 539 664 the 541 664 outer 543 664 convex 545 664 mould 547 664 of 549 664 it. 551 664 From 553 664 its 555 664 relative 557 664 situation 559 664 then, 561 664 I 563 664 should 565 664 call 567 664 this 569 664 high 571 664 hump 573 664 the 575 664 organ 577 664 of 579 664 firmness 583 664 or 585 664 indomitableness 587 664 in 589 664 the 591 664 Sperm 593 664 Whale. 595 664 And 597 664 that 599 664 the 601 664 great 603 664 monster 605 664 is 607 664 indomitable, 609 664 you 611 664 will 613 664 yet 615 664 have 617 664 reason 619 664 to 621 664 know. 623 664 CHAPTER 625 664 81 627 664 The 629 664 Pequod 631 664 Meets 633 664 The 635 664 Virgin. 637 664 The 639 664 predestinated 641 664 day 643 664 arrived, 645 664 and 647 664 we 649 664 duly 651 664 met 653 664 the 655 664 ship 657 664 Jungfrau, 659 664 Derick 661 664 De 663 664 Deer, 1 665 master, 2 665 of 3 665 Bremen. 4 665 At 6 665 one 8 665 time 9 665 the 11 665 greatest 12 665 whaling 13 665 people 16 665 in 17 665 the 18 665 world, 22 665 the 23 665 Dutch 24 665 and 26 665 Germans 27 665 are 29 665 now 31 665 among 32 665 the 33 665 least; 34 665 but 36 665 here 37 665 and 39 665 there 41 665 at 43 665 very 44 665 wide 46 665 intervals 47 665 of 48 665 latitude 51 665 and 52 665 longitude, 53 665 you 54 665 still 58 665 occasionally 59 665 meet 61 665 with 62 665 their 64 665 flag 66 665 in 67 665 the 68 665 Pacific. 69 665 For 71 665 some 72 665 reason, 73 665 the 74 665 Jungfrau 78 665 seemed 79 665 quite 81 665 eager 82 665 to 83 665 pay 86 665 her 87 665 respects. 88 665 While 89 665 yet 92 665 some 93 665 distance 94 665 from 96 665 the 97 665 Pequod, 99 665 she 101 665 rounded 102 665 to, 103 665 and 104 665 dropping 106 665 a 107 665 boat, 108 665 her 109 665 captain 111 665 was 113 665 impelled 116 665 towards 117 665 us, 118 665 impatiently 121 665 standing 122 665 in 123 665 the 124 665 bows 127 665 instead 128 665 of 129 665 the 131 665 stern. 132 665 "What 134 665 has 136 665 he 137 665 in 138 665 his 139 665 hand 141 665 there?" 142 665 cried 143 665 Starbuck, 144 665 pointing 146 665 to 148 665 something 149 665 wavingly 151 665 held 153 665 by 156 665 the 157 665 German. 158 665 "Impossible!--a 159 665 lamp-feeder!" 162 665 "Not 163 665 that," 164 665 said 166 665 Stubb, 167 665 "no, 169 665 no, 172 665 it's 173 665 a 174 665 coffee-pot, 176 665 Mr. 177 665 Starbuck; 178 665 he's 179 665 coming 181 665 off 183 665 to 184 665 make 186 665 us 187 665 our 188 665 coffee, 191 665 is 192 665 the 193 665 Yarman; 194 665 don't 197 665 you 198 665 see 199 665 that 201 665 big 202 665 tin 204 665 can 206 665 there 207 665 alongside 208 665 of 211 665 him?--that's 212 665 his 213 665 boiling 214 665 water. 216 665 Oh! 218 665 he's 219 665 all 221 665 right, 222 665 is 223 665 the 226 665 Yarman." 227 665 "Go 229 665 along 232 665 with 233 665 you," 234 665 cried 236 665 Flask, 237 665 "it's 239 665 a 241 665 lamp-feeder 242 665 and 243 665 an 244 665 oil-can. 246 665 He's 248 665 out 249 665 of 251 665 oil, 253 665 and 254 665 has 256 665 come 257 665 a-begging." 258 665 However 261 665 curious 262 665 it 263 665 may 264 665 seem 267 665 for 268 665 an 269 665 oil-ship 271 665 to 272 665 be 274 665 borrowing 276 665 oil 277 665 on 278 665 the 279 665 whale-ground, 281 665 and 282 665 however 283 665 much 284 665 it 286 665 may 288 665 invertedly 289 665 contradict 291 665 the 292 665 old 293 665 proverb 296 665 about 297 665 carrying 298 665 coals 299 665 to 302 665 Newcastle, 303 665 yet 306 665 sometimes 307 665 such 309 665 a 311 665 thing 312 665 really 313 665 happens; 314 665 and 316 665 in 317 665 the 318 665 present 319 665 case 321 665 Captain 324 665 Derick 326 665 De 327 665 Deer 328 665 did 331 665 indubitably 332 665 conduct 333 665 a 334 665 lamp-feeder 337 665 as 338 665 Flask 339 665 did 341 665 declare. 344 665 As 346 665 he 347 665 mounted 348 665 the 349 665 deck, 351 665 Ahab 352 665 abruptly 353 665 accosted 354 665 him, 356 665 without 358 665 at 359 665 all 362 665 heeding 363 665 what 366 665 he 367 665 had 368 665 in 369 665 his 372 665 hand; 373 665 but 374 665 in 376 665 his 377 665 broken 379 665 lingo, 381 665 the 382 665 German 383 665 soon 384 665 evinced 386 665 his 387 665 complete 388 665 ignorance 389 665 of 391 665 the 393 665 White 394 665 Whale; 396 665 immediately 397 665 turning 398 665 the 401 665 conversation 402 665 to 403 665 his 404 665 lamp-feeder 407 665 and 408 665 oil 409 665 can, 411 665 with 412 665 some 414 665 remarks 416 665 touching 417 665 his 419 665 having 421 665 to 422 665 turn 423 665 into 424 665 his 426 665 hammock 428 665 at 429 665 night 431 665 in 432 665 profound 433 665 darkness--his 436 665 last 438 665 drop 439 665 of 442 665 Bremen 443 665 oil 444 665 being 446 665 gone, 447 665 and 449 665 not 451 665 a 452 665 single 453 665 flying-fish 454 665 yet 457 665 captured 458 665 to 459 665 supply 461 665 the 463 665 deficiency; 464 665 concluding 466 665 by 467 665 hinting 468 665 that 471 665 his 472 665 ship 473 665 was 474 665 indeed 477 665 what 478 665 in 479 665 the 481 665 Fishery 482 665 is 484 665 technically 486 665 called 487 665 a 488 665 CLEAN 489 665 one 491 665 (that 492 665 is, 493 665 an 496 665 empty 498 665 one), 499 665 well 501 665 deserving 502 665 the 503 665 name 506 665 of 507 665 Jungfrau 508 665 or 509 665 the 512 665 Virgin. 514 665 His 516 665 necessities 517 665 supplied, 519 665 Derick 521 665 departed; 522 665 but 523 665 he 524 665 had 526 665 not 527 665 gained 528 665 his 529 665 ship's 531 665 side, 533 665 when 534 665 whales 536 665 were 537 665 almost 538 665 simultaneously 541 665 raised 542 665 from 543 665 the 544 665 mast-heads 547 665 of 548 665 both 549 665 vessels; 552 665 and 554 665 so 556 665 eager 557 665 for 558 665 the 559 665 chase 561 665 was 562 665 Derick, 563 665 that 564 665 without 566 665 pausing 568 665 to 569 665 put 571 665 his 572 665 oil-can 573 665 and 576 665 lamp-feeder 577 665 aboard, 578 665 he 579 665 slewed 582 665 round 583 665 his 584 665 boat 586 665 and 587 665 made 591 665 after 592 665 the 593 665 leviathan 594 665 lamp-feeders. 596 665 Now, 597 665 the 598 665 game 599 665 having 601 665 risen 603 665 to 604 665 leeward, 606 665 he 607 665 and 611 665 the 612 665 other 613 665 three 614 665 German 617 665 boats 618 665 that 619 665 soon 621 665 followed 622 665 him, 624 665 had 626 665 considerably 628 665 the 629 665 start 631 665 of 632 665 the 633 665 Pequod's 634 665 keels. 636 665 There 638 665 were 639 665 eight 641 665 whales, 642 665 an 643 665 average 647 665 pod. 648 665 Aware 649 665 of 652 665 their 653 665 danger, 654 665 they 656 665 were 657 665 going 659 665 all 661 665 abreast 662 665 with 663 665 great 664 665 speed 1 666 straight 5 666 before 7 666 the 11 666 wind, 13 666 rubbing 17 666 their 19 666 flanks 23 666 as 25 666 closely 29 666 as 31 666 so 35 666 many 41 666 spans 43 666 of 47 666 horses 49 666 in 53 666 harness. 55 666 They 59 666 left 61 666 a 65 666 great, 67 666 wide 71 666 wake, 73 666 as 77 666 though 79 666 continually 83 666 unrolling 85 666 a 89 666 great 91 666 wide 95 666 parchment 97 666 upon 101 666 the 103 666 sea. 107 666 Full 109 666 in 113 666 this 115 666 rapid 119 666 wake, 121 666 and 125 666 many 127 666 fathoms 131 666 in 133 666 the 137 666 rear, 139 666 swam 143 666 a 145 666 huge, 149 666 humped 151 666 old 155 666 bull, 157 666 which 161 666 by 163 666 his 167 666 comparatively 169 666 slow 173 666 progress, 175 666 as 179 666 well 181 666 as 187 666 by 191 666 the 193 666 unusual 197 666 yellowish 199 666 incrustations 203 666 overgrowing 205 666 him, 209 666 seemed 211 666 afflicted 215 666 with 217 666 the 221 666 jaundice, 223 666 or 227 666 some 229 666 other 233 666 infirmity. 235 666 Whether 239 666 this 241 666 whale 245 666 belonged 247 666 to 251 666 the 253 666 pod 257 666 in 263 666 advance, 265 666 seemed 269 666 questionable; 271 666 for 275 666 it 277 666 is 281 666 not 283 666 customary 287 666 for 289 666 such 293 666 venerable 295 666 leviathans 299 666 to 301 666 be 305 666 at 307 666 all 311 666 social. 313 666 Nevertheless, 317 666 he 319 666 stuck 323 666 to 325 666 their 329 666 wake, 331 666 though 335 666 indeed 337 666 their 341 666 back 343 666 water 347 666 must 349 666 have 353 666 retarded 355 666 him, 359 666 because 361 666 the 365 666 white-bone 367 666 or 371 666 swell 373 666 at 377 666 his 379 666 broad 383 666 muzzle 385 666 was 389 666 a 391 666 dashed 395 666 one, 397 666 like 401 666 the 403 666 swell 409 666 formed 413 666 when 415 666 two 419 666 hostile 421 666 currents 425 666 meet. 427 666 His 431 666 spout 433 666 was 437 666 short, 439 666 slow, 443 666 and 445 666 laborious; 449 666 coming 451 666 forth 455 666 with 457 666 a 461 666 choking 463 666 sort 467 666 of 469 666 gush, 473 666 and 475 666 spending 479 666 itself 485 666 in 487 666 torn 491 666 shreds, 493 666 followed 497 666 by 499 666 strange 503 666 subterranean 505 666 commotions 509 666 in 511 666 him, 515 666 which 517 666 seemed 521 666 to 523 666 have 527 666 egress 529 666 at 533 666 his 535 666 other 539 666 buried 541 666 extremity, 545 666 causing 547 666 the 551 666 waters 553 666 behind 557 666 him 559 666 to 563 666 upbubble. 565 666 "Who's 569 666 got 571 666 some 575 666 paregoric?" 577 666 said 581 666 Stubb, 583 666 "he 587 666 has 589 666 the 593 666 stomach-ache, 595 666 I'm 599 666 afraid. 601 666 Lord, 605 666 think 607 666 of 611 666 having 613 666 half 617 666 an 619 666 acre 623 666 of 625 666 stomach-ache! 631 666 Adverse 635 666 winds 637 666 are 641 666 holding 643 666 mad 647 666 Christmas 649 666 in 653 666 him, 655 666 boys. 659 666 It's 661 666 the 665 666 first 1 667 foul 2 667 wind 3 667 I 4 667 ever 5 667 knew 6 667 to 7 667 blow 8 667 from 9 667 astern; 10 667 but 11 667 look, 12 667 did 13 667 ever 14 667 whale 15 667 yaw 16 667 so 17 667 before? 18 667 it 19 667 must 20 667 be, 21 667 he's 22 667 lost 24 667 his 25 667 tiller." 26 667 As 27 667 an 28 667 overladen 30 667 Indiaman 31 667 bearing 32 667 down 33 667 the 34 667 Hindostan 35 667 coast 36 667 with 37 667 a 38 667 deck 39 667 load 40 667 of 41 667 frightened 42 667 horses, 43 667 careens, 44 667 buries, 45 667 rolls, 47 667 and 48 667 wallows 49 667 on 50 667 her 51 667 way; 52 667 so 53 667 did 54 667 this 55 667 old 56 667 whale 57 667 heave 59 667 his 60 667 aged 61 667 bulk, 62 667 and 63 667 now 64 667 and 65 667 then 66 667 partly 67 667 turning 68 667 over 70 667 on 71 667 his 72 667 cumbrous 73 667 rib-ends, 74 667 expose 75 667 the 76 667 cause 77 667 of 78 667 his 79 667 devious 80 667 wake 81 667 in 82 667 the 83 667 unnatural 84 667 stump 85 667 of 86 667 his 88 667 starboard 89 667 fin. 90 667 Whether 91 667 he 93 667 had 94 667 lost 95 667 that 96 667 fin 97 667 in 98 667 battle, 99 667 or 100 667 had 101 667 been 102 667 born 103 667 without 104 667 it, 105 667 it 106 667 were 107 667 hard 108 667 to 109 667 say. 110 667 "Only 111 667 wait 112 667 a 113 667 bit, 114 667 old 117 667 chap, 118 667 and 119 667 I'll 120 667 give 121 667 ye 122 667 a 123 667 sling 124 667 for 125 667 that 126 667 wounded 127 667 arm," 128 667 cried 129 667 cruel 130 667 Flask, 131 667 pointing 132 667 to 133 667 the 134 667 whale-line 135 667 near 136 667 him. 137 667 "Mind 139 667 he 140 667 don't 141 667 sling 142 667 thee 143 667 with 144 667 it," 146 667 cried 147 667 Starbuck. 148 667 "Give 149 667 way, 150 667 or 151 667 the 152 667 German 153 667 will 154 667 have 155 667 him." 156 667 With 157 667 one 158 667 intent 159 667 all 160 667 the 162 667 combined 163 667 rival 164 667 boats 165 667 were 166 667 pointed 167 667 for 168 667 this 169 667 one 170 667 fish, 171 667 because 172 667 not 173 667 only 175 667 was 176 667 he 177 667 the 178 667 largest, 179 667 and 180 667 therefore 181 667 the 182 667 most 183 667 valuable 185 667 whale, 186 667 but 187 667 he 188 667 was 189 667 nearest 190 667 to 191 667 them, 192 667 and 193 667 the 194 667 other 195 667 whales 196 667 were 197 667 going 198 667 with 199 667 such 200 667 great 201 667 velocity, 202 667 moreover, 204 667 as 205 667 almost 206 667 to 208 667 defy 209 667 pursuit 210 667 for 211 667 the 212 667 time. 213 667 At 214 667 this 215 667 juncture 216 667 the 217 667 Pequod's 218 667 keels 219 667 had 220 667 shot 221 667 by 222 667 the 223 667 three 224 667 German 225 667 boats 226 667 last 227 667 lowered; 228 667 but 229 667 from 231 667 the 233 667 great 234 667 start 235 667 he 236 667 had 237 667 had, 238 667 Derick's 239 667 boat 240 667 still 241 667 led 242 667 the 243 667 chase, 244 667 though 245 667 every 246 667 moment 247 667 neared 248 667 by 249 667 his 250 667 foreign 251 667 rivals. 252 667 The 254 667 only 255 667 thing 256 667 they 257 667 feared, 258 667 was, 259 667 that 260 667 from 262 667 being 263 667 already 264 667 so 265 667 nigh 266 667 to 267 667 his 268 667 mark, 269 667 he 270 667 would 271 667 be 272 667 enabled 273 667 to 274 667 dart 275 667 his 277 667 iron 278 667 before 279 667 they 280 667 could 281 667 completely 282 667 overtake 283 667 and 284 667 pass 285 667 him. 286 667 As 287 667 for 288 667 Derick, 289 667 he 291 667 seemed 292 667 quite 293 667 confident 294 667 that 295 667 this 296 667 would 297 667 be 298 667 the 300 667 case, 301 667 and 302 667 occasionally 303 667 with 304 667 a 305 667 deriding 306 667 gesture 307 667 shook 308 667 his 309 667 lamp-feeder 310 667 at 311 667 the 312 667 other 313 667 boats. 314 667 "The 315 667 ungracious 316 667 and 317 667 ungrateful 318 667 dog!" 320 667 cried 321 667 Starbuck; 323 667 "he 324 667 mocks 325 667 and 326 667 dares 327 667 me 328 667 with 329 667 the 330 667 very 331 667 poor-box 332 667 I 333 667 filled 334 667 for 335 667 him 336 667 not 337 667 five 338 667 minutes 339 667 ago!"--then 340 667 in 341 667 his 342 667 old 343 667 intense 344 667 whisper--"Give 346 667 way, 347 667 greyhounds! 349 667 Dog 350 667 to 351 667 it!" 352 667 "I 353 667 tell 354 667 ye 355 667 what 356 667 it 357 667 is, 358 667 men"--cried 359 667 Stubb 360 667 to 361 667 his 362 667 crew--"it's 363 667 against 364 667 my 365 667 religion 366 667 to 367 667 get 369 667 mad; 370 667 but 371 667 I'd 372 667 like 373 667 to 374 667 eat 375 667 that 376 667

fearful 521 669 were 523 669 the 524 669 harpooneers 526 669 that 527 669 this 529 669 rapid 530 669 sounding 532 669 would 533 669 soon 535 669 exhaust 536 669 the 538 669 lines, 539 669 that 541 669 using 542 669 all 544 669 their 545 669 dexterous 547 669 might, 548 669 they 550 669 caught 551 669 repeated 553 669 smoking 554 669 turns 556 669 with 557 669 the 559 669 rope 560 669 to 562 669 hold 563 669 on; 565 669 till 566 669 at 568 669 last--owing 569 669 to 571 669 the 572 669 perpendicular 574 669 strain 575 669 from 577 669 the 578 669 lead-lined 580 669 chocks 581 669 of 583 669 the 584 669 boats, 586 669 whence 587 669 the 589 669 three 590 669 ropes 592 669 went 593 669 straight 595 669 down 596 669 into 598 669 the 599 669 blue--the 601 669 gunwales 602 669 of 604 669 the 605 669 bows 607 669 were 608 669 almost 610 669 even 611 669 with 613 669 the 614 669 water, 616 669 while 617 669 the 619 669 three 620 669 sterns 622 669 tilted 623 669 high 625 669 in 626 669 the 628 669 air. 629 669 And 631 669 the 632 669 whale 634 669 soon 635 669 ceasing 637 669 to 638 669 sound, 640 669 for 641 669 some 643 669 time 644 669 they 646 669 remained 647 669 in 649 669 that 650 669 attitude, 652 669 fearful 653 669 of 655 669 expending 656 669 more 658 669 line, 659 669 though 661 669 the 662 669 position 664 669 was 665 669 a 667 669 little 668 669 ticklish. 1 670 But 3 670 though 7 670 boats 9 670 have 11 670 been 13 670 taken 17 670 down 19 670 and 21 670 lost 23 670 in 27 670 this 29 670 way, 31 670 yet 33 670 it 37 670 is 39 670 this 41 670 "holding 43 670 on," 47 670 as 49 670 it 51 670 is 53 670 called; 57 670 this 59 670 hooking 61 670 up 63 670 by 69 670 the 71 670 sharp 73 670 barbs 77 670 of 79 670 his 81 670 live 83 670 flesh 87 670 from 89 670 the 91 670 back; 93 670 this 97 670 it 99 670 is 101 670 that 103 670 often 107 670 torments 109 670 the 111 670 Leviathan 113 670 into 117 670 soon 119 670 rising 121 670 again 123 670 to 127 670 meet 129 670 the 131 670 sharp 133 670 lance 137 670 of 139 670 his 141 670 foes. 143 670 Yet 147 670 not 149 670 to 151 670 speak 153 670 of 157 670 the 159 670 peril 161 670 of 163 670 the 167 670 thing, 169 670 it 171 670 is 173 670 to 177 670 be 179 670 doubted 181 670 whether 183 670 this 187 670 course 189 670 is 191 670 always 193 670 the 197 670 best; 199 670 for 203 670 it 207 670 is 209 670 but 211 670 reasonable 213 670 to 217 670 presume, 219 670 that 221 670 the 223 670 longer 227 670 the 229 670 stricken 231 670 whale 233 670 stays 237 670 under 239 670 water, 241 670 the 243 670 more 247 670 he 249 670 is 251 670 exhausted. 253 670 Because, 257 670 owing 259 670 to 261 670 the 263 670 enormous 267 670 surface 269 670 of 271 670 him--in 273 670 a 277 670 full 279 670 grown 281 670 sperm 283 670 whale 287 670 something 289 670 less 291 670 than 293 670 2000 297 670 square 299 670 feet--the 301 670 pressure 303 670 of 307 670 the 309 670 water 311 670 is 313 670 immense. 317 670 We 319 670 all 321 670 know 323 670 what 327 670 an 329 670 astonishing 331 670 atmospheric 333 670 weight 337 670 we 339 670 ourselves 341 670 stand 343 670 up 347 670 under; 349 670 even 351 670 here, 353 670 above-ground, 357 670 in 359 670 the 361 670 air; 363 670 how 367 670 vast, 369 670 then, 371 670 the 373 670 burden 377 670 of 379 670 a 381 670 whale, 383 670 bearing 387 670 on 389 670 his 391 670 back 393 670 a 397 670 column 399 670 of 401 670 two 403 670 hundred 407 670 fathoms 409 670 of 411 670 ocean! 413 670 It 417 670 must 419 670 at 421 670 least 423 670 equal 427 670 the 429 670 weight 431 670 of 433 670 fifty 437 670 atmospheres. 439 670 One 441 670 whaleman 443 670 has 447 670 estimated 449 670 it 451 670 at 453 670 the 457 670 weight 459 670 of 461 670 twenty 463 670 line-of-battle 467 670 ships, 471 670 with 473 670 all 477 670 their 479 670 guns, 481 670 and 483 670 stores, 487 670 and 489 670 men 491 670 on 493 670 board. 497 670 As 499 670 the 501 670 three 503 670 boats 507 670 lay 509 670 there 511 670 on 513 670 that 517 670 gently 519 670 rolling 521 670 sea, 523 670 gazing 527 670 down 529 670 into 531 670 its 533 670 eternal 537 670 blue 539 670 noon; 541 670 and 543 670 as 547 670 not 549 670 a 551 670 single 553 670 groan 557 670 or 559 670 cry 561 670 of 563 670 any 567 670 sort, 569 670 nay, 571 670 not 573 670 so 577 670 much 579 670 as 581 670 a 583 670 ripple 587 670 or 589 670 a 591 670 bubble 593 670 came 597 670 up 599 670 from 601 670 its 607 670 depths; 609 670 what 611 670 landsman 613 670 would 617 670 have 619 670 thought, 621 670 that 623 670 beneath 627 670 all 629 670 that 631 670 silence 633 670 and 637 670 placidity, 639 670 the 641 670 utmost 643 670 monster 647 670 of 649 670 the 651 670 seas 653 670 was 657 670 writhing 659 670 and 661 670 wrenching 663 670 in 667 670 agony! 669 670 Not 1 671 eight 2 671 inches 3 671 of 4 671 perpendicular 5 671 rope 6 671 were 7 671 visible 8 671 at 9 671 the 10 671 bows. 12 671 Seems 13 671 it 14 671 credible 15 671 that 16 671 by 17 671 three 18 671 such 19 671 thin 20 671 threads 21 671 the 23 671 great 24 671 Leviathan 25 671 was 26 671 suspended 27 671 like 28 671 the 29 671 big 30 671 weight 31 671 to 32 671 an 34 671 eight 35 671 day 36 671 clock. 37 671 Suspended? 38 671 and 39 671 to 40 671 what? 41 671 To 42 671 three 43 671 bits 45 671 of 46 671 board. 47 671 Is 48 671 this 49 671 the 50 671 creature 51 671 of 52 671 whom 53 671 it 54 671 was 56 671 once 57 671 so 58 671 triumphantly 59 671 said--"Canst 60 671 thou 62 671 fill 63 671 his 64 671 skin 65 671 with 67 671 barbed 68 671 irons? 69 671 or 70 671 his 71 671 head 72 671 with 73 671 fish-spears? 74 671 The 75 671 sword 76 671 of 78 671 him 79 671 that 80 671 layeth 81 671 at 82 671 him 83 671 cannot 84 671 hold, 85 671 the 86 671 spear, 87 671 the 89 671 dart, 90 671 nor 91 671 the 92 671 habergeon: 93 671 he 94 671 esteemeth 95 671 iron 96 671 as 97 671 straw; 98 671 the 100 671 arrow 101 671 cannot 102 671 make 103 671 him 104 671 flee; 105 671 darts 106 671 are 107 671 counted 108 671 as 109 671 stubble; 111 671 he 112 671 laugheth 113 671 at 114 671 the 115 671 shaking 116 671 of 117 671 a 118 671 spear!" 119 671 This 120 671 the 123 671 creature? 124 671 this 125 671 he? 126 671 Oh! 127 671 that 128 671 unfulfilments 129 671 should 130 671 follow 131 671 the 133 671 prophets. 134 671 For 135 671 with 136 671 the 137 671 strength 138 671 of 139 671 a 140 671 thousand 141 671 thighs 142 671 in 144 671 his 145 671 tail, 146 671 Leviathan 147 671 had 148 671 run 149 671 his 150 671 head 151 671 under 152 671 the 153 671 mountains 155 671 of 156 671 the 157 671 sea, 158 671 to 159 671 hide 160 671 him 161 671 from 162 671 the 163 671 Pequod's 164 671 fish-spears! 166 671 In 167 671 that 168 671 sloping 169 671 afternoon 170 671 sunlight, 171 671 the 172 671 shadows 173 671 that 174 671 the 175 671 three 177 671 boats 178 671 sent 179 671 down 180 671 beneath 181 671 the 182 671 surface, 184 671 must 185 671 have 186 671 been 188 671 long 189 671 enough 190 671 and 191 671 broad 192 671 enough 193 671 to 194 671 shade 195 671 half 196 671 Xerxes' 197 671 army. 199 671 Who 200 671 can 201 671 tell 202 671 how 203 671 appalling 204 671 to 205 671 the 206 671 wounded 207 671 whale 208 671 must 210 671 have 211 671 been 212 671 such 213 671 huge 214 671 phantoms 215 671 flitting 216 671 over 217 671 his 218 671 head! 219 671 "Stand 221 671 by, 222 671 men; 223 671 he 224 671 stirs," 225 671 cried 226 671 Starbuck, 227 671 as 228 671 the 229 671 three 230 671 lines 232 671 suddenly 233 671 vibrated 234 671 in 235 671 the 236 671 water, 237 671 distinctly 238 671 conducting 239 671 upwards 240 671 to 241 671 them, 243 671 as 245 671 by 246 671 magnetic 247 671 wires, 248 671 the 249 671 life 250 671 and 251 671 death 252 671 throbs 254 671 of 255 671 the 256 671 whale, 257 671 so 258 671 that 259 671 every 260 671 oarsman 261 671 felt 262 671 them 263 671 in 265 671 his 266 671 seat. 267 671 The 268 671 next 269 671 moment, 270 671 relieved 271 671 in 272 671 great 273 671 part 274 671 from 276 671 the 277 671 downward 278 671 strain 279 671 at 280 671 the 281 671 bows, 282 671 the 283 671 boats 284 671 gave 285 671 a 287 671 sudden 288 671 bounce 289 671 upwards, 290 671 as 291 671 a 292 671 small 293 671 icefield 294 671 will, 295 671 when 296 671 a 298 671 dense 299 671 herd 300 671 of 301 671 white 302 671 bears 303 671 are 304 671 scared 306 671 from 307 671 it 309 671 into 310 671 the 311 671 sea. 312 671 "Haul 313 671 in! 314 671 Haul 315 671 in!" 316 671 cried 317 671 Starbuck 318 671 again; 320 671 "he's 321 671 rising." 322 671 The 323 671 lines, 324 671 of 325 671 which, 326 671 hardly 327 671 an 328 671 instant 329 671 before, 331 671 not 332 671 one 333 671 hand's 334 671 breadth 335 671 could 336 671 have 337 671 been 338 671 gained, 339 671 were 340 671 now 342 671 in 343 671 long 344 671 quick 345 671 coils 346 671 flung 347 671 back 348 671 all 349 671 dripping 350 671 into 351 671 the 353 671 boats, 354 671 and 355 671 soon 356 671 the 357 671 whale 358 671 broke 359 671 water 360 671 within 361 671 two 362 671 ship's 364 671 lengths 365 671 of 367 671 the 368 671 hunters. 369 671 His 370 671 motions 371 671 plainly 372 671 denoted 373 671 his 375 671 extreme 376 671 exhaustion. 377 671 In 378 671 most 379 671 land 380 671 animals 381 671 there 382 671 are 383 671 certain 384 671 valves 386 671 or 387 671 flood-gates 388 671 in 389 671 many 390 671 of 391 671 their 392 671 veins, 393 671 whereby 394 671 when 395 671 wounded, 397 671 the 398 671 blood 399 671 is 400 671 in 401 671 some 402 671 degree 403 671 at 404 671 least 405 671 instantly 406 671 shut 408 671 off 409 671 in 410 671 certain 411 671 directions. 412 671 Not 413 671 so 414 671 with 415 671 the 416 671 whale; 417 671 one 419 671 of 420 671 whose 421 671 peculiarities 422 671 it 423 671 is 424 671 to 425 671 have 426 671 an 428 671 entire 430 671 non-valvular 431 671 structure 432 671 of 433 671 the 434 671 blood-vessels, 435 671 so 436 671 that 437 671 when 438 671 pierced 439 671 even 441 671 by 442 671 so 443 671 small 444 671 a 445 671 point 446 671 as 447 671 a 448 671 harpoon, 449 671 a 450 671 deadly 452 671 drain 453 671 is 454 671 at 455 671 once 456 671 begun 457 671 upon 458 671 his 459 671 whole 460 671 arterial 461 671 system; 463 671 and 464 671 when 465 671 this 466 671 is 467 671 heightened 468 671 by 469 671 the 470 671 extraordinary 471 671 pressure 472 671 of 474 671 water 475 671 at 476 671 a 477 671 great 478 671 distance 479 671 below 480 671 the 481 671 surface, 482 671 his 483 671 life 485 671 may 486 671 be 487 671 said 489 671 to 490 671 pour 491 671 from 492 671 him 493 671 in 494 671 incessant 496 671 streams. 497 671 Yet 498 671 so 499 671 vast 500 671 is 501 671 the 502 671 quantity 503 671 of 504 671 blood 505 671 in 507 671 him, 508 671 and 509 671 so 510 671 distant 511 671 and 512 671 numerous 513 671 its 514 671 interior 515 671 fountains, 516 671 that 518 671 he 519 671 will 520 671 keep 521 671 thus 522 671 bleeding 523 671 and 524 671 bleeding 525 671 for 526 671 a 527 671 considerable 529 671 period; 530 671 even 531 671 as 532 671 in 533 671 a 534 671 drought 535 671 a 536 671 river 537 671 will 538 671 flow, 540 671 whose 541 671 source 542 671 is 543 671 in 544 671 the 545 671 well-springs 546 671 of 547 671 far-off 548 671 and 551 671 undiscernible 552 671 hills. 553 671 Even 554 671 now, 555 671 when 556 671 the 557 671 boats 558 671 pulled 559 671 upon 560 671 this 562 671 whale, 563 671 and 564 671 perilously 565 671 drew 566 671 over 567 671 his 568 671 swaying 569 671 flukes, 570 671 and 571 671 the 573 671 lances 574 671 were 575 671 darted 576 671 into 577 671 him, 578 671 they 579 671 were 580 671 followed 581 671 by 582 671 steady 584 671 jets 585 671 from 586 671 the 587 671 new 588 671 made 589 671 wound, 590 671 which 591 671 kept 592 671 continually 593 671 playing, 595 671 while 596 671 the 597 671 natural 598 671 spout-hole 599 671 in 600 671 his 601 671 head 602 671 was 603 671 only 604 671 at 606 671 intervals, 607 671 however 608 671 rapid, 609 671 sending 611 671 its 612 671 affrighted 613 671 moisture 614 671 into 615 671 the 617 671 air. 618 671 From 619 671 this 620 671 last 621 671 vent 622 671 no 623 671 blood 624 671 yet 625 671 came, 626 671 because 628 671 no 629 671 vital 630 671 part 631 671 of 632 671 him 633 671 had 634 671 thus 635 671 far 636 671 been 637 671 struck. 639 671 His 640 671 life, 641 671 as 642 671 they 643 671 significantly 644 671 call 645 671 it, 646 671 was 647 671 untouched. 648 671 As 650 671 the 651 671 boats 652 671 now 653 671 more 654 671 closely 655 671 surrounded 656 671 him, 657 671 the 658 671 whole 659 671 upper 661 671 part 662 671 of 663 671 his 664 671 form, 665 671 with 666 671 much 667 671 of 668 671 it 669 671 that 670 671 is 1 672 ordinarily 5 672 submerged, 11 672 was 13 672 plainly 17 672 revealed. 19 672 His 23 672 eyes, 25 672 or 29 672 rather 31 672 the 37 672 places 41 672 where 43 672 his 47 672 eyes 53 672 had 55 672 been, 59 672 were 61 672 beheld. 65 672 As 67 672 strange 71 672 misgrown 73 672 masses 79 672 gather 83 672 in 85 672 the 89 672 knot-holes 95 672 of 97 672 the 101 672 noblest 103 672 oaks 107 672 when 109 672 prostrate, 113 672 so 115 672 from 121 672 the 125 672 points 127 672 which 131 672 the 137 672 whale's 139 672 eyes 143 672 had 145 672 once 149 672 occupied, 151 672 now 155 672 protruded 157 672 blind 163 672 bulbs, 167 672 horribly 169 672 pitiable 173 672 to 179 672 see. 181 672 But 185 672 pity 187 672 there 191 672 was 193 672 none. 197 672 For 199 672 all 205 672 his 209 672 old 211 672 age, 215 672 and 221 672 his 223 672 one 227 672 arm, 229 672 and 233 672 his 235 672 blind 239 672 eyes, 241 672 he 247 672 must 251 672 die 253 672 the 257 672 death 263 672 and 265 672 be 269 672 murdered, 271 672 in 275 672 order 277 672 to 281 672 light 283 672 the 289 672 gay 293 672 bridals 295 672 and 299 672 other 305 672 merry-makings 307 672 of 311 672 men, 313 672 and 317 672 also 319 672 to 323 672 illuminate 325 672 the 331 672 solemn 335 672 churches 337 672 that 341 672 preach 347 672 unconditional 349 672 inoffensiveness 353 672 by 355 672 all 359 672 to 361 672 all. 365 672 Still 367 672 rolling 373 672 in 377 672 his 379 672 blood, 383 672 at 389 672 last 391 672 he 395 672 partially 397 672 disclosed 401 672 a 403 672 strangely 407 672 discoloured 409 672 bunch 415 672 or 419 672 protuberance, 421 672 the 425 672 size 431 672 of 433 672 a 437 672 bushel, 439 672 low 443 672 down 445 672 on 449 672 the 451 672 flank. 457 672 "A 461 672 nice 463 672 spot," 467 672 cried 473 672 Flask; 475 672 "just 479 672 let 481 672 me 485 672 prick 487 672 him 491 672 there 493 672 once." 499 672 "Avast!" 503 672 cried 505 672 Starbuck, 509 672 "there's 515 672 no 517 672 need 521 672 of 523 672 that!" 527 672 But 529 672 humane 533 672 Starbuck 535 672 was 541 672 too 545 672 late. 547 672 At 551 672 the 557 672 instant 559 672 of 563 672 the 565 672 dart 569 672 an 571 672 ulcerous 575 672 jet 577 672 shot 583 672 from 587 672 this 589 672 cruel 593 672 wound, 599 672 and 601 672 goaded 605 672 by 607 672 it 611 672 into 613 672 more 617 672 than 619 672 sufferable 625 672 anguish, 629 672 the 631 672 whale 635 672 now 641 672 spouting 643 672 thick 647 672 blood, 649 672 with 653 672 swift 655 672 fury 659 672 blindly 661 672 darted 667 672 at 671 672 the 1 673 craft, 2 673 bespattering 3 673 them 4 673 and 5 673 their 6 673 glorying 7 673 crews 8 673 all 9 673 over 10 673 with 11 673 showers 12 673 of 13 673 gore, 14 673 capsizing 15 673 Flask's 16 673 boat 17 673 and 18 673 marring 19 673 the 20 673 bows. 21 673 It 22 673 was 23 673 his 24 673 death 25 673 stroke. 26 673 For, 27 673 by 28 673 this 29 673 time, 30 673 so 31 673 spent 32 673 was 33 673 he 34 673 by 35 673 loss 36 673 of 37 673 blood, 38 673 that 39 673 he 40 673 helplessly 41 673 rolled 42 673 away 43 673 from 44 673 the 45 673 wreck 46 673 he 47 673 had 48 673 made; 49 673 lay 50 673 panting 51 673 on 52 673 his 53 673 side, 54 673 impotently 55 673 flapped 56 673 with 57 673 his 58 673 stumped 59 673 fin, 60 673 then 61 673 over 62 673 and 63 673 over 64 673 slowly 65 673 revolved 66 673 like 67 673 a 68 673 waning 69 673 world; 70 673 turned 71 673 up 72 673 the 73 673 white 74 673 secrets 75 673 of 76 673 his 77 673 belly; 78 673 lay 79 673 like 80 673 a 81 673 log, 82 673 and 83 673 died. 84 673 It 85 673 was 86 673 most 87 673 piteous, 88 673 that 89 673 last 90 673 expiring 91 673 spout. 92 673 As 93 673 when 94 673 by 95 673 unseen 96 673 hands 97 673 the 98 673 water 99 673 is 100 673 gradually 101 673 drawn 102 673 off 103 673 from 104 673 some 105 673 mighty 106 673 fountain, 107 673 and 108 673 with 109 673 half-stifled 110 673 melancholy 111 673 gurglings 112 673 the 113 673 spray-column 114 673 lowers 115 673 and 116 673 lowers 117 673 to 118 673 the 119 673 ground--so 120 673 the 121 673 last 122 673 long 123 673 dying 124 673 spout 125 673 of 126 673 the 127 673 whale. 128 673 Soon, 129 673 while 130 673 the 131 673 crews 132 673 were 133 673 awaiting 134 673 the 135 673 arrival 136 673 of 137 673 the 138 673 ship, 139 673 the 140 673 body 141 673 showed 142 673 symptoms 143 673 of 144 673 sinking 145 673 with 146 673 all 147 673 its 148 673 treasures 149 673 unrifled. 150 673 Immediately, 151 673 by 152 673 Starbuck's 153 673 orders, 154 673 lines 155 673 were 156 673 secured 157 673 to 158 673 it 159 673 at 160 673 different 161 673 points, 162 673 so 163 673 that 164 673 ere 165 673 long 166 673 every 167 673 boat 168 673 was 169 673 a 170 673 buoy; 171 673 the 172 673 sunken 173 673 whale 174 673 being 175 673 suspended 176 673 a 177 673 few 178 673 inches 179 673 beneath 180 673 them 181 673 by 182 673 the 183 673 cords. 184 673 By 185 673 very 186 673 heedful 187 673 management, 188 673 when 189 673 the 190 673 ship 191 673 drew 192 673 nigh, 193 673 the 194 673 whale 195 673 was 196 673 transferred 197 673 to 198 673 her 199 673 side, 200 673 and 201 673 was 202 673 strongly 203 673 secured 204 673 there 205 673 by 206 673 the 207 673 stiffest 208 673 fluke-chains, 209 673 for 210 673 it 211 673 was 212 673 plain 213 673 that 214 673 unless 215 673 artificially 216 673 upheld, 217 673 the 218 673 body 219 673 would 220 673 at 221 673 once 222 673 sink 223 673 to 224 673 the 225 673 bottom. 226 673 It 227 673 so 228 673 chanced 229 673 that 230 673 almost 231 673 upon 232 673 first 233 673 cutting 234 673 into 235 673 him 236 673 with 237 673 the 238 673 spade, 239 673 the 240 673 entire 241 673 length 242 673 of 243 673 a 244 673 corroded 245 673 harpoon 246 673 was 247 673 found 248 673 imbedded 249 673 in 250 673 his 251 673 flesh, 252 673 on 253 673 the 254 673 lower 255 673 part 256 673 of 257 673 the 258 673 bunch 259 673 before 260 673 described. 261 673 But 262 673 as 263 673 the 264 673 stumps 265 673 of 266 673 harpoons 267 673 are 268 673 frequently 269 673 found 270 673 in 271 673 the 272 673 dead 273 673 bodies 274 673 of 275 673 captured 276 673 whales, 277 673 with 278 673 the 279 673 flesh 280 673 perfectly 281 673 healed 282 673 around 283 673 them, 284 673 and 285 673 no 286 673 prominence 287 673 of 288 673 any 289 673 kind 290 673 to 291 673 denote 292 673 their 293 673 place; 294 673 therefore, 295 673 there 296 673 must 297 673 needs 298 673 have 299 673 been 300 673 some 301 673 other 302 673 unknown 303 673 reason 304 673 in 305 673 the 306 673 present 307 673 case 308 673 fully 309 673 to 310 673 account 311 673 for 312 673 the 313 673 ulceration 314 673 alluded 315 673 to. 316 673 But 317 673 still 318 673 more 319 673 curious 320 673 was 321 673 the 322 673 fact 323 673 of 324 673 a 325 673 lance-head 326 673 of 327 673 stone 328 673 being 329 673 found 330 673 in 331 673 him, 332 673 not 333 673 far 334 673 from 335 673 the 336 673 buried 337 673 iron, 338 673 the 339 673 flesh 340 673 perfectly 341 673 firm 342 673 about 343 673 it. 344 673 Who 345 673 had 346 673 darted 347 673 that 348 673 stone 349 673 lance? 350 673 And 351 673 when? 352 673 It 353 673 might 354 673 have 355 673 been 356 673 darted 357 673 by 358 673 some 359 673 Nor' 360 673 West 361 673 Indian 362 673 long 363 673 before 364 673 America 365 673 was 366 673 discovered. 367 673 What 368 673 other 369 673 marvels 370 673 might 371 673 have 372 673 been 373 673 rummaged 374 673 out 375 673 of 376 673 this 377 673 monstrous 378 673 cabinet 379 673 there 380 673 is 381 673 no 382 673 telling. 383 673 But 384 673 a 385 673 sudden 386 673 stop 387 673 was 388 673 put 389 673 to 390 673 further 391 673 discoveries, 392 673 by 393 673 the 394 673 ship's 395 673 being 396 673 unprecedentedly 397 673 dragged 398 673 over 399 673 sideways 400 673 to 401 673 the 402 673 sea, 403 673 owing 404 673 to 405 673 the 406 673 body's 407 673 immensely 408 673 increasing 409 673 tendency 410 673 to 411 673 sink. 412 673 However, 413 673 Starbuck, 414 673 who 415 673 had 416 673 the 417 673 ordering 418 673 of 419 673 affairs, 420 673 hung 421 673 on 422 673 to 423 673 it 424 673 to 425 673 the 426 673 last; 427 673 hung 428 673 on 429 673 to 430 673 it 431 673 so 432 673 resolutely, 433 673 indeed, 434 673 that 435 673 when 436 673 at 437 673 length 438 673 the 439 673 ship 440 673 would 441 673 have 442 673 been 443 673 capsized, 444 673 if 445 673 still 446 673 persisting 447 673 in 448 673 locking 449 673 arms 450 673 with 451 673 the 452 673 body; 453 673 then, 454 673 when 455 673 the 456 673 command 457 673 was 458 673 given 459 673 to 460 673 break 461 673 clear 462 673 from 463 673 it, 464 673 such 465 673 was 466 673 the 467 673 immovable 468 673 strain 469 673 upon 470 673 the 471 673 timber-heads 472 673 to 473 673 which 474 673 the 475 673 fluke-chains 476 673 and 477 673 cables 478 673 were 479 673 fastened, 480 673 that 481 673 it 482 673 was 483 673 impossible 484 673 to 485 673 cast 486 673 them 487 673 off. 488 673 Meantime 489 673 everything 490 673 in 491 673 the 492 673 Pequod 493 673 was 494 673 aslant. 495 673 To 496 673 cross 497 673 to 498 673 the 499 673 other 500 673 side 501 673 of 502 673 the 503 673 deck 504 673 was 505 673 like 506 673 walking 507 673 up 508 673 the 509 673 steep 510 673 gabled 511 673 roof 512 673 of 513 673 a 514 673 house. 515 673 The 516 673 ship 517 673 groaned 518 673 and 519 673 gasped. 520 673 Many 521 673 of 522 673 the 523 673 ivory 524 673 inlayings 525 673 of 526 673 her 527 673 bulwarks 528 673 and 529 673 cabins 530 673 were 531 673 started 532 673 from 533 673 their 534 673 places, 535 673 by 536 673 the 537 673 unnatural 538 673 dislocation. 539 673 In 540 673 vain 541 673 handspikes 542 673 and 543 673 crows 544 673 were 545 673 brought 546 673 to 547 673 bear 548 673 upon 549 673 the 550 673 immovable 551 673 fluke-chains, 552 673 to 553 673 pry 554 673 them 555 673 adrift 556 673 from 557 673 the 558 673 timberheads; 559 673 and 560 673 so 561 673 low 562 673 had 563 673 the 564 673 whale 565 673 now 566 673 settled 567 673 that 568 673 the 569 673 submerged 570 673 ends 571 673 could 572 673 not 573 673 be 574 673 at 575 673 all 576 673 approached, 577 673 while 578 673 every 579 673 moment 580 673 whole 581 673 tons 582 673 of 583 673 ponderosity 584 673 seemed 585 673 added 586 673 to 587 673 the 588 673 sinking 589 673 bulk, 590 673 and 591 673 the 592 673 ship 593 673 seemed 594 673 on 595 673 the 596 673 point 597 673 of 598 673 going 599 673 over. 600 673 "Hold 601 673 on, 602 673 hold 603 673 on, 604 673 won't 605 673 ye?" 606 673 cried 607 673 Stubb 608 673 to 609 673 the 610 673 body, 611 673 "don't 612 673 be 613 673 in 614 673 such 615 673 a 616 673 devil 617 673 of

634 673 use 635 673 prying 636 673 there; 637 673 avast, 638 673 I 639 673 say 640 673 with 641 673 your 642 673 handspikes, 643 673 and 644 673 run 645 673 one 646 673 of 647 673 ye 648 673 for 649 673 a 650 673 prayer 651 673 book 652 673 and 653 673 a 654 673 pen-knife, 655 673 and 656 673 cut 657 673 the 658 673 big 659 673 chains." 660 673 "Knife? 661 673 Aye, 662 673 aye," 663 673 cried 664 673 Queequeg, 665 673 and 666 673 seizing 667 673 the 668 673 carpenter's 669 673 heavy 670 673 hatchet, 671 673 he 672 673 leaned 1 674 out 3 674 of 5 674 a 7 674 porthole, 9 674 and 11 674 steel 13 674 to 15 674 iron, 17 674 began 19 674 slashing 21 674 at 23 674 the 25 674 largest 27 674 fluke-chains. 29 674 But 31 674 a 33 674 few 35 674 strokes, 37 674 full 39 674 of 41 674 sparks, 43 674 were 45 674 given, 47 674 when 49 674 the 51 674 exceeding 53 674 strain 55 674 effected 57 674 the 59 674 rest. 61 674 With 63 674 a 65 674 terrific 67 674 snap, 69 674 every 71 674 fastening 73 674 went 75 674 adrift; 77 674 the 79 674 ship 81 674 righted, 83 674 the 85 674 carcase 87 674 sank. 89 674 Now, 91 674 this 93 674 occasional 95 674 inevitable 97 674 sinking 99 674 of 101 674 the 103 674 recently 105 674 killed 107 674 Sperm 109 674 Whale 111 674 is 113 674 a 115 674 very 117 674 curious 119 674 thing; 121 674 nor 123 674 has 125 674 any 127 674 fisherman 129 674 yet 131 674 adequately 133 674 accounted 135 674 for 137 674 it. 139 674 Usually 141 674 the 143 674 dead 145 674 Sperm 147 674 Whale 149 674 floats 151 674 with 153 674 great 155 674 buoyancy, 157 674 with 159 674 its 161 674 side 163 674 or 165 674 belly 167 674 considerably 169 674 elevated 171 674 above 173 674 the 175 674 surface. 177 674 If 179 674 the 181 674 only 183 674 whales 185 674 that 187 674 thus 189 674 sank 191 674 were 193 674 old, 195 674 meagre, 197 674 and 199 674 broken-hearted 201 674 creatures, 203 674 their 205 674 pads 207 674 of 209 674 lard 211 674 diminished 213 674 and 215 674 all 217 674 their 219 674 bones 221 674 heavy 223 674 and 225 674 rheumatic; 227 674 then 229 674 you 231 674 might 233 674 with 235 674 some 237 674 reason 239 674 assert 241 674 that 243 674 this 245 674 sinking 247 674 is 249 674 caused 251 674 by 253 674 an 255 674 uncommon 257 674 specific 259 674 gravity 261 674 in 263 674 the 265 674 fish 267 674 so 269 674 sinking, 271 674 consequent 273 674 upon 275 674 this 277 674 absence 279 674 of 281 674 buoyant 283 674 matter 285 674 in 287 674 him. 289 674 But 291 674 it 293 674 is 295 674 not 297 674 so. 299 674 For 301 674 young 303 674 whales, 305 674 in 307 674 the 309 674 highest 311 674 health, 313 674 and 315 674 swelling 317 674 with 319 674 noble 321 674 aspirations, 323 674 prematurely 325 674 cut 327 674 off 329 674 in 331 674 the 333 674 warm 335 674 flush 339 674 and 341 674 May 343 674 of 345 674 life, 347 674 with 349 674 all 351 674 their 353 674 panting 355 674 lard 357 674 about 359 674 them; 361 674 even 363 674 these 365 674 brawny, 367 674 buoyant 369 674 heroes 371 674 do 373 674 sometimes 375 674 sink. 377 674 Be 379 674 it 381 674 said, 383 674 however, 385 674 that 387 674 the 389 674 Sperm 391 674 Whale 393 674 is 395 674 far 397 674 less 399 674 liable 401 674 to 403 674 this 405 674 accident 407 674 than 409 674 any 411 674 other 413 674 species. 415 674 Where 417 674 one 419 674 of 421 674 that 423 674 sort 425 674 go 427 674 down, 429 674 twenty 431 674 Right 433 674 Whales 435 674 do. 437 674 This 439 674 difference 441 674 in 443 674 the 445 674 species 447 674 is 449 674 no 451 674 doubt 453 674 imputable 455 674 in 457 674 no 459 674 small 461 674 degree 463 674 to 465 674 the 467 674 greater 469 674 quantity 471 674 of 473 674 bone 475 674 in 477 674 the 479 674 Right 481 674 Whale; 483 674 his 485 674 Venetian 487 674 blinds 489 674 alone 491 674 sometimes 493 674 weighing 495 674 more 497 674 than 499 674 a 501 674 ton; 503 674 from 505 674 this 507 674 incumbrance 509 674 the 511 674 Sperm 513 674 Whale 515 674 is 517 674 wholly 519 674 free. 521 674 But 523 674 there 525 674 are 527 674 instances 529 674 where, 531 674 after 533 674 the 535 674 lapse 537 674 of 539 674 many 541 674 hours 543 674 or 545 674 several 547 674 days, 549 674 the 551 674 sunken 553 674 whale 555 674 again 557 674 rises, 559 674 more 561 674 buoyant 563 674 than 565 674 in 567 674 life. 569 674 But 571 674 the 573 674 reason 575 674 of 577 674 this 579 674 is 581 674 obvious. 583 674 Gases 585 674 are 587 674 generated 589 674 in 591 674 him; 593 674 he 595 674 swells 597 674 to 599 674 a 601 674 prodigious 603 674 magnitude; 605 674 becomes 607 674 a 609 674 sort 611 674 of 613 674 animal 615 674 balloon. 617 674 A 619 674 line-of-battle 621 674 ship 623 674 could 625 674 hardly 627 674 keep 629 674 him 631 674 under 633 674 then. 635 674 In 637 674 the 639 674 Shore 641 674 Whaling, 643 674 on 645 674 soundings, 647 674 among 649 674 the 651 674 Bays 653 674 of 655 674 New 657 674 Zealand, 659 674 when 661 674 a 663 674 Right 665 674 Whale 667 674 gives 669 674 token 671 674 of 673 674 sinking, 1 675 they 2 675 fasten 4 675 buoys 7 675 to 8 675 him, 11 675 with 13 675 plenty 14 675 of 16 675 rope; 17 675 so 19 675 that 22 675 when 23 675 the 26 675 body 28 675 has 29 675 gone 31 675 down, 32 675 they 34 675 know 37 675 where 38 675 to 41 675 look 43 675 for 44 675 it 46 675 when 47 675 it 49 675 shall 52 675 have 53 675 ascended 56 675 again. 58 675 It 59 675 was 61 675 not 62 675 long 64 675 after 67 675 the 68 675 sinking 71 675 of 73 675 the 74 675 body 76 675 that 77 675 a 79 675 cry 82 675 was 83 675 heard 86 675 from 88 675 the 89 675 Pequod's 91 675 mast-heads, 92 675 announcing 94 675 that 97 675 the 98 675 Jungfrau 101 675 was 103 675 again 104 675 lowering 106 675 her 107 675 boats; 109 675 though 112 675 the 113 675 only 116 675 spout 118 675 in 119 675 sight 121 675 was 122 675 that 124 675 of 127 675 a 128 675 Fin-Back, 131 675 belonging 133 675 to 134 675 the 136 675 species 137 675 of 139 675 uncapturable 142 675 whales, 143 675 because 146 675 of 148 675 its 149 675 incredible 151 675 power 152 675 of 154 675 swimming. 157 675 Nevertheless, 158 675 the 161 675 Fin-Back's 163 675 spout 164 675 is 166 675 so 167 675 similar 169 675 to 172 675 the 173 675 Sperm 176 675 Whale's, 178 675 that 179 675 by 181 675 unskilful 182 675 fishermen 184 675 it 187 675 is 188 675 often 191 675 mistaken 193 675 for 194 675 it. 196 675 And 197 675 consequently 199 675 Derick 202 675 and 203 675 all 206 675 his 208 675 host 209 675 were 211 675 now 212 675 in 214 675 valiant 217 675 chase 218 675 of 221 675 this 223 675 unnearable 224 675 brute. 226 675 The 227 675 Virgin 229 675 crowding 232 675 all 233 675 sail, 236 675 made 238 675 after 239 675 her 241 675 four 242 675 young 244 675 keels, 247 675 and 248 675 thus 251 675 they 253 675 all 254 675 disappeared 256 675 far 257 675 to 259 675 leeward, 262 675 still 263 675 in 266 675 bold, 268 675 hopeful 269 675 chase. 271 675 Oh! 272 675 many 274 675 are 277 675 the 278 675 Fin-Backs, 281 675 and 283 675 many 284 675 are 286 675 the 287 675 Dericks, 289 675 my 292 675 friend. 293 675 CHAPTER 296 675 82 298 675 The 299 675 Honour 301 675 and 302 675 Glory 304 675 of 307 675 Whaling. 308 675 There 311 675 are 313 675 some 314 675 enterprises 316 675 in 317 675 which 319 675 a 322 675 careful 323 675 disorderliness 326 675 is 328 675 the 329 675 true 331 675 method. 332 675 The 334 675 more 337 675 I 338 675 dive 341 675 into 343 675 this 344 675 matter 346 675 of 347 675 whaling, 349 675 and 352 675 push 353 675 my 356 675 researches 358 675 up 359 675 to 361 675 the 362 675 very 364 675 spring-head 367 675 of 368 675 it 371 675 so 373 675 much 374 675 the 376 675 more 377 675 am 379 675 I 382 675 impressed 383 675 with 386 675 its 388 675 great 389 675 honourableness 391 675 and 392 675 antiquity; 394 675 and 397 675 especially 398 675 when 401 675 I 403 675 find 404 675 so 406 675 many 407 675 great 409 675 demi-gods 412 675 and 413 675 heroes, 416 675 prophets 418 675 of 419 675 all 421 675 sorts, 422 675 who 424 675 one 427 675 way 428 675 or 431 675 other 433 675 have 434 675 shed 436 675 distinction 437 675 upon 439 675 it, 442 675 I 443 675 am 446 675 transported 448 675 with 449 675 the 451 675 reflection 452 675 that 454 675 I 457 675 myself 458 675 belong, 461 675 though 463 675 but 464 675 subordinately, 466 675 to 467 675 so 469 675 emblazoned 472 675 a 473 675 fraternity. 476 675 The 478 675 gallant 479 675 Perseus, 481 675 a 482 675 son 484 675 of 487 675 Jupiter, 488 675 was 491 675 the 493 675 first 494 675 whaleman; 496 675 and 497 675 to 499 675 the 502 675 eternal 503 675 honour 506 675 of 508

675 killed 538 675 with 539 675 any 541 675 sordid 542 675 intent. 544 675 Those 547 675 were 548 675 the 551 675 knightly 553 675 days 554 675 of 556 675 our 557 675 profession, 559 675 when 562 675

daughter 617 675 of 619 675 a 622 675 king, 623 675 was 626 675 tied 628 675 to 629 675 a 631 675 rock 632 675 on 634 675 the 637 675 sea-coast, 638 675 and 641 675 as 643 675 Leviathan 644 675 was 646 675 in 647 675 the 649 675 very 652 675 act 653 675 of 656 675 carrying 658 675 her 659 675 off, 661 675 Perseus, 662 675 the 664 675 prince 667 675 of 668 675 whalemen, 671 675 intrepidly 673 675 advancing, 674 675 harpooned 1 676 the 3 676 monster, 5 676 and 7 676 delivered 9 676 and 11 676 married 15 676 the 17 676 maid. 19 676 It 21 676 was 23 676 an 25 676 admirable 27 676 artistic 29 676 exploit, 31 676 rarely 33 676 achieved 35 676 by 37 676 the 41 676 best 43 676 harpooneers 45 676 of 47 676 the 49 676 present 51 676 day; 53 676 inasmuch 55 676 as 57 676 this 59 676 Leviathan 61 676 was 63 676 slain 67 676 at 69 676 the 71 676 very 73 676 first 75 676 dart. 77 676 And 79 676 let 81 676 no 83 676 man 85 676 doubt 87 676 this 89 676 Arkite 93 676 story; 95 676 for 97 676 in 99 676 the 101 676 ancient 103 676 Joppa, 105 676 now 107 676 Jaffa, 109 676 on 111 676 the 113 676 Syrian 115 676 coast, 119 676 in 121 676 one 123 676 of 125 676 the 127 676 Pagan 129 676 temples, 131 676 there 133 676 stood 135 676 for 137 676 many 139 676 ages 141 676 the 145 676 vast 147 676 skeleton 149 676 of 151 676 a 153 676 whale, 155 676 which 157 676 the 159 676 city's 161 676 legends 163 676 and 165 676 all 167 676 the 171 676 inhabitants 173 676 asserted 175 676 to 177 676 be 179 676 the 181 676 identical 183 676 bones 185 676 of 187 676 the 189 676 monster 191 676 that 193 676 Perseus 197 676 slew. 199 676 When 201 676 the 203 676 Romans 205 676 took 207 676 Joppa, 209 676 the 211 676 same 213 676 skeleton 215 676 was 217 676 carried 219 676 to 223 676 Italy 225 676 in 227 676 triumph. 229 676 What 231 676 seems 233 676 most 235 676 singular 237 676 and 239 676 suggestively 241 676 important 243 676 in 245 676 this 249 676 story, 251 676 is 253 676 this: 255 676 it 257 676 was 259 676 from 261 676 Joppa 263 676 that 265 676 Jonah 267 676 set 269 676 sail. 271 676 Akin 275 676 to 277 676 the 279 676 adventure 281 676 of 283 676 Perseus 285 676 and 287 676 Andromeda--indeed, 289 676 by 291 676 some 293 676 supposed 295 676 to 297 676 be 301 676 indirectly 303 676 derived 305 676 from 307 676 it--is 309 676 that 311 676 famous 313 676 story 315 676 of 317 676 St. 319 676 George 321 676 and 323 676 the 327 676 Dragon; 329 676 which 331 676 dragon 333 676 I 335 676 maintain 337 676 to 339 676 have 341 676 been 343 676 a 345 676 whale; 347 676 for 349 676 in 353 676 many 355 676 old 357 676 chronicles 359 676 whales 361 676 and 363 676 dragons 365 676 are 367 676 strangely 369 676 jumbled 371 676 together, 373 676 and 375 676 often 379 676 stand 381 676 for 383 676 each 385 676 other. 387 676 "Thou 389 676 art 391 676 as 393 676 a 395 676 lion 397 676 of 399 676 the 401 676 waters, 405 676 and 407 676 as 409 676 a 411 676 dragon 413 676 of 415 676 the 417 676 sea," 419 676 saith 421 676 Ezekiel; 423 676 hereby, 425 676 plainly 427 676 meaning 431 676 a 433 676 whale; 435 676 in 437 676 truth, 439 676 some 441 676 versions 443 676 of 445 676 the 447 676 Bible 449 676 use 451 676 that 453 676 word 457 676 itself. 459 676 Besides, 461 676 it 463 676 would 465 676 much 467 676 subtract 469 676 from 471 676 the 473 676 glory 475 676 of 477 676 the 479 676 exploit 483 676 had 485 676 St. 487 676 George 489 676 but 491 676 encountered 493 676 a 495 676 crawling 497 676 reptile 499 676 of 501 676 the 503 676 land, 505 676 instead 509 676 of 511 676 doing 513 676 battle 515 676 with 517 676 the 519 676 great 521 676 monster 523 676 of 525 676 the 527 676 deep. 529 676 Any 531 676 man 535 676 may 537 676 kill 539 676 a 541 676 snake, 543 676 but 545 676 only 547 676 a 549 676 Perseus, 551 676 a 553 676 St. 555 676 George, 557 676 a 561 676 Coffin, 563 676 have 565 676 the 567 676 heart 569 676 in 571 676 them 573 676 to 575 676 march 577 676 boldly 579 676 up 581 676 to 583 676 a 587 676 whale. 589 676 Let 591 676 not 593 676 the 595 676 modern 597 676 paintings 599 676 of 601 676 this 603 676 scene 605 676 mislead 607 676 us; 609 676 for 613 676 though 615 676 the 617 676 creature 619 676 encountered 621 676 by 623 676 that 625 676 valiant 627 676 whaleman 629 676 of 631 676 old 633 676 is 635 676 vaguely 639 676 represented 641 676 of 643 676 a 645 676 griffin-like 647 676 shape, 649 676 and 651 676 though 653 676 the 655 676 battle 657 676 is 659 676 depicted 661 676 on 665 676 land 667 676 and 669 676 the 671 676 saint 673 676 on 675 676 horseback, 1 677 yet 2 677 considering 3 677 the 4 677 great 5 677 ignorance 6 677 of 7 677 those 8 677 times, 9 677 when 10 677 the 11 677 true 12 677 form 13 677 of 14 677 the 15 677 whale 16 677 was 17 677 unknown 18 677 to 19 677 artists; 20 677 and 21 677 considering 22 677 that 23 677 as 24 677 in 25 677 Perseus' 26 677 case, 27 677 St. 28 677 George's 29 677 whale 30 677 might 31 677 have 32 677 crawled 33 677 up 34 677 out 35 677 of 36 677 the 37 677 sea 38 677 on 39 677 the 40 677 beach; 41 677 and 42 677 considering 43 677 that 44 677 the 45 677 animal 46 677 ridden 47 677 by 48 677 St. 49 677 George 50 677 might 51 677 have 52 677 been 53 677 only 54 677 a 55 677 large 56 677 seal, 57 677 or 58 677 sea-horse; 59 677 bearing 60 677 all 61 677 this 62 677 in 63 677 mind, 64 677 it 65 677 will 66 677 not 67 677 appear 68 677 altogether 69 677 incompatible 70 677 with 71 677 the 72 677 sacred 73 677 legend 74 677 and 75 677 the 76 677 ancientest 77 677 draughts 78 677 of 79 677 the 80 677 scene, 81 677 to 82 677 hold 83 677 this 84 677 so-called 85 677 dragon 86 677 no 87 677 other 88 677 than 89 677 the 90 677 great 91 677 Leviathan 92 677 himself. 93 677 In 94 677 fact, 95 677 placed 96 677 before 97 677 the 98 677 strict 99 677 and 100 677 piercing 101 677 truth, 102 677 this 103 677 whole 104 677 story 105 677 will 106 677 fare 107 677 like 108 677 that 109 677 fish, 110 677 flesh, 111 677 and 112 677 fowl 113 677 idol 114 677 of 115 677 the 116 677 Philistines, 117 677 Dagon 118 677 by 119 677 name; 120 677 who 121 677 being 122 677 planted 123 677 before 124 677 the 125 677 ark 126 677 of 127 677 Israel, 128 677 his 129 677 horse's 130 677 head 131 677 and 132 677 both 133 677 the 134 677 palms 135 677 of 136 677 his 137 677 hands 138 677 fell 139 677 off 140 677 from 141 677 him, 142 677 and 143 677 only 144 677 the 145 677 stump 146 677 or 147 677 fishy 148 677 part 149 677 of 150 677 him 151 677 remained. 152 677 Thus, 153 677 then, 154 677 one 155 677 of 156 677 our 157 677 own 158 677 noble 159 677 stamp, 160 677 even 161 677 a 162 677 whaleman, 163 677 is 164 677 the 165 677 tutelary 166 677 guardian 167 677 of 168 677 England; 169 677 and 170 677 by 171 677 good 172 677 rights, 173 677 we 174 677 harpooneers 175 677 of 176 677 Nantucket 177 677 should 178 677 be 179 677 enrolled 180 677 in 181 677 the 182 677 most 183 677 noble 184 677 order 185 677 of 186 677 St. 187 677 George. 188 677 And 189 677 therefore, 190 677 let 191 677 not 192 677 the 193 677 knights 194 677 of 195 677 that 196 677 honourable 197 677 company 198 677 (none 199 677 of 200 677 whom, 201 677 I 202 677 venture 203 677 to 204 677 say, 205 677 have 206 677 ever 207 677 had 208 677 to 209 677 do 210 677 with 211 677 a 212 677 whale 213 677 like 214 677 their 215 677 great 216 677 patron), 217 677 let 218 677 them 219 677 never 220 677 eye 221 677 a 222 677 Nantucketer 223 677 with 224 677 disdain, 225 677 since 226 677 even 227 677 in 228 677 our 229 677 woollen 230 677 frocks 231 677 and 232 677 tarred 233 677 trowsers 234 677 we 235 677 are 236 677 much 237 677 better 238 677 entitled 239 677 to 240 677 St. 241 677 George's 242 677 decoration 243 677 than 244 677 they. 245 677 Whether 246 677 to 247 677 admit 248 677 Hercules 249 677 among 250 677 us 251 677 or 252 677 not, 253 677 concerning 254 677 this 255 677 I 256 677 long 257 677 remained 258 677 dubious: 259 677 for 260 677 though 261 677 according 262 677 to 263 677 the 264 677 Greek 265 677 mythologies, 266 677 that 267 677 antique 268 677 Crockett 269 677 and 270 677 Kit 271 677 Carson--that 272 677 brawny 273 677 doer 274 677 of 275 677 rejoicing 276 677 good 277 677 deeds, 278 677 was 279 677 swallowed 280 677 down 281 677 and 282 677 thrown 283 677 up 284 677 by 285 677 a 286 677 whale; 287 677 still, 288 677 whether 289 677 that 290 677 strictly 291 677 makes 292 677 a 293 677 whaleman 294 677 of 295 677 him, 296 677 that 297 677 might 298 677 be 299 677 mooted. 300 677 It 301 677 nowhere 302 677 appears 303 677 that 304 677 he 305 677 ever 306 677 actually 307 677 harpooned 308 677 his 309 677 fish, 310 677 unless, 311 677 indeed, 312 677 from 313 677 the 314 677 inside. 315 677 Nevertheless, 316 677 he 317 677 may 318 677 be 319 677 deemed 320 677 a 321 677 sort 322 677 of 323 677 involuntary 324 677 whaleman; 325 677 at 326 677 any 327 677 rate 328 677 the 329 677 whale 330 677 caught 331 677 him, 332 677 if 333 677 he 334 677 did 335 677 not 336 677 the 337 677 whale. 338 677 I 339 677 claim 340 677 him 341 677 for 342 677 one 343 677 of 344 677 our 345 677 clan. 346 677 But, 347 677 by 348 677 the 349 677 best 350 677 contradictory 351 677 authorities, 352 677 this 353 677 Grecian 354 677 story 355 677 of 356 677 Hercules 357 677 and 358 677 the 359 677 whale 360 677 is 361 677 considered 362 677 to 363 677 be 364 677 derived 365 677 from 366 677 the 367 677 still 368 677 more 369 677 ancient 370 677 Hebrew 371 677 story 372 677 of 373 677 Jonah 374 677 and 375 677 the 376 677 whale; 377 677 and 378 677 vice 379 677 versa; 380 677 certainly 381 677 they 382 677 are 383 677 very 384 677 similar. 385 677 If 386 677 I 387 677 claim 388 677 the 389 677 demigod 390 677 then, 391 677 why 392 677 not 393 677 the 394 677 prophet? 395 677 Nor 396 677 do 397 677 heroes, 398 677 saints, 399 677 demigods, 400 677 and 401 677 prophets 402 677 alone 403 677 comprise 404 677 the 405 677 whole 406 677 roll 407 677 of 408 677 our 409 677 order. 410 677 Our 411 677 grand 412 677 master 413 677 is 414 677 still 415 677 to 416 677 be 417 677 named; 418 677 for 419 677 like 420 677 royal 421 677 kings 422 677 of 423 677 old 424 677 times, 425 677 we 426 677 find 427 677 the 428 677 head 429 677 waters 430 677 of 431 677 our 432 677 fraternity 433 677 in 434 677 nothing 435 677 short 436 677 of 437 677 the 438 677 great 439 677 gods 440 677 themselves. 441 677 That 442 677 wondrous 443 677 oriental 444 677 story 445 677 is 446 677 now 447 677 to 448 677 be 449 677 rehearsed 450 677 from 451 677 the 452 677 Shaster, 453 677 which 454 677 gives 455 677 us 456 677 the 457 677 dread 458 677 Vishnoo, 459 677 one 460 677 of 461 677 the 462 677 three 463 677 persons 464 677 in 465 677 the 466 677 godhead 467 677 of 468 677 the 469 677 Hindoos; 470 677 gives 471 677 us 472 677 this 473 677 divine 474 677 Vishnoo 475 677 himself 476 677 for 477 677 our 478 677 Lord;--Vishnoo, 479 677 who, 480 677 by 481 677 the 482 677 first 483 677 of 484 677 his 485 677 ten 486 677 earthly 487 677 incarnations, 488 677 has 489 677 for 490 677 ever 491 677 set 492 677 apart 493 677 and 494 677 sanctified 495 677 the 496 677 whale. 497 677 When 498 677 Brahma, 499 677 or 500 677 the 501 677 God 502 677 of 503 677 Gods, 504 677 saith 505 677 the 506 677 Shaster, 507 677 resolved 508 677 to 509 677 recreate 510 677 the 511 677 world 512 677 after 513 677 one 514 677 of 515 677 its 516 677 periodical 517 677 dissolutions, 518 677 he 519 677 gave 520 677 birth 521 677 to 522 677 Vishnoo, 523 677 to 524 677 preside 525 677 over 526 677 the 527 677 work; 528 677 but 529 677 the 530 677 Vedas, 531 677 or 532 677 mystical 533 677 books, 534 677 whose 535 677 perusal 536 677 would 537 677 seem 538 677 to 539 677 have 540 677 been 541 677 indispensable 542 677 to 543 677 Vishnoo 544 677 before 545 677 beginning 546 677 the 547 677 creation, 548 677 and 549 677 which 550 677 therefore 551 677 must 552 677 have 553 677 contained 554 677 something 555 677 in 556 677 the 557 677 shape 558 677 of 559 677 practical 560 677 hints 561 677 to 562 677 young 563 677 architects, 564 677 these 565 677 Vedas 566 677 were 567 677 lying 568 677 at 569 677 the 570 677 bottom 571 677 of 572 677 the 573 677 waters; 574 677 so 575 677 Vishnoo 576 677 became 577 677 incarnate 578 677 in 579 677 a 580 677 whale, 581 677 and 582 677 sounding 583 677 down 584 677 in 585 677 him 586 677 to 587 677 the 588 677 uttermost 589 677 depths, 590 677 rescued 591 677 the 592 677 sacred 593 677 volumes. 594 677 Was 595 677 not 596 677 this 597 677 Vishnoo 598 677 a 599 677 whaleman, 600 677 then? 601 677 even 602 677 as 603 677 a 604 677 man 605 677 who 606 677 rides 607 677 a 608 677 horse 609 677 is 610 677 called 611 677 a 612 677 horseman? 613 677 Perseus, 614 677 St. 615 677 George, 616 677 Hercules, 617 677 Jonah, 618 677 and 619 677 Vishnoo! 620 677 there's 621 677 a 622 677 member-roll 623 677 for 624 677 you! 625 677 What 626 677 club 627 677 but 628 677 the 629 677 whaleman's 630 677 can 631 677 head 632 677 off 633 677 like 634 677 that? 635 677 CHAPTER 636 677 83 637 677 Jonah 638 677 Historically 639 677 Regarded. 640 677 Reference 641 677 was 642 677 made 643 677 to 644 677 the 645 677 historical 646 677 story 647 677 of 648 677 Jonah 649 677 and 650 677 the 651 677 whale 652 677 in 653 677 the 654 677 preceding 655 677 chapter. 656 677 Now 657 677 some 658 677 Nantucketers 659 677 rather 660 677 distrust 661 677 this 662 677 historical 663 677 story 664 677 of 665 677 Jonah 666 677 and 667 677 the 668 677 whale. 669 677 But 670 677 then 671 677 there 672 677 were 673 677 some 674 677 sceptical 675 677 Greeks 676 677 and 1 678 Romans, 5 678 who, 7 678 standing 11 678 out 13 678 from 17 678 the 19 678 orthodox 23 678 pagans 25 678 of 29 678 their 31 678 times, 35 678 equally 37 678 doubted 41 678 the 43 678 story 47 678 of 49 678 Hercules 53 678 and 55 678 the 59 678 whale, 61 678 and 65 678 Arion 67 678 and 71 678 the 73 678 dolphin; 77 678 and 79 678 yet 83 678 their 85 678 doubting 89 678 those 91 678 traditions 95 678 did 97 678 not 101 678 make 103 678 those 107 678 traditions 109 678 one 115 678 whit 119 678 the 121 678 less 125 678 facts, 127 678 for 131 678 all 133 678 that. 137 678 One 139 678 old 143 678 Sag-Harbor 145 678 whaleman's 149 678 chief 151 678 reason 155 678 for 157 678 questioning 161 678 the 163 678 Hebrew 167 678 story 169 678 was 173 678 this:--He 175 678 had 179 678 one 181 678 of 185 678 those 187 678 quaint 191 678 old-fashioned 193 678 Bibles, 197 678 embellished 199 678 with 203 678 curious, 205 678 unscientific 209 678 plates; 211 678 one 215 678 of 217 678 which 221 678 represented 223 678 Jonah's 227 678 whale 229 678 with 233 678 two 235 678 spouts 239 678 in 241 678 his 245 678 head--a 247 678 peculiarity 251 678 only 253 678 true 257 678 with 259 678 respect 263 678 to 265 678 a 269 678 species 271 678 of 275 678 the 277 678 Leviathan 281 678 (the 283 678 Right 287 678 Whale, 289 678 and 293 678 the 295 678 varieties 299 678 of 301 678 that 305 678 order), 307 678 concerning 311 678 which 313 678 the 317 678 fishermen 319 678 have 323 678 this 325 678 saying, 329 678 "A 331 678 penny 335 678 roll 337 678 would 341 678 choke 343 678 him"; 347 678 his 349 678 swallow 353 678 is 355 678 so 359 678 very 361 678 small. 365 678 But, 367 678 to 371 678 this, 373 678 Bishop 377 678 Jebb's 379 678 anticipative 383 678 answer 385 678 is 389 678 ready. 391 678 It 395 678 is 397 678 not 401 678 necessary, 403 678 hints 407 678 the 409 678 Bishop, 413 678 that 415 678 we 419 678 consider 421 678 Jonah 425 678 as 427 678 tombed 431 678 in 433 678 the 437 678 whale's 439 678 belly, 443 678 but 445 678 as 449 678 temporarily 451 678 lodged 455 678 in 457 678 some 461 678 part 463 678 of 467 678 his 469 678 mouth. 473 678 And 475 678 this 479 678 seems 481 678 reasonable 485 678 enough 487 678 in 491 678 the 493 678 good 497 678 Bishop. 499 678 For 503 678 truly, 505 678 the 509 678 Right 511 678 Whale's 515 678 mouth 517 678 would 521 678 accommodate 523 678 a 527 678 couple 529 678 of 533 678 whist-tables, 535 678 and 539 678 comfortably 541 678 seat 545 678 all 547 678 the 551 678 players. 553 678 Possibly, 557 678 too, 559 678 Jonah 563 678 might 569 678 have 571 678 ensconced 575 678 himself 577 678 in 581 678 a 583 678 hollow 587 678 tooth; 589 678 but, 593 678 on 595 678 second 599 678 thoughts, 601 678 the 605 678 Right 607 678 Whale 611 678 is 613 678 toothless. 617 678 Another 619 678 reason 623 678 which 625 678 Sag-Harbor 629 678 (he 631 678 went 635 678 by 637 678 that 641 678 name) 643 678 urged 647 678 for 649 678 his 653 678 want 655 678 of 659 678 faith 661 678 in 665 678 this 667 678 matter 671 678 of 673 678 the 677 678 prophet, 1 679 was 2 679 something 3 679 obscurely 4 679 in 5 679 reference 6 679 to 8 679 his 9 679 incarcerated 10 679 body 11 679 and 12 679 the 13 679 whale's 15 679 gastric 16 679 juices. 17 679 But 18 679 this 19 679 objection 20 679 likewise 22 679 falls 23 679 to 24 679 the 25 679 ground, 26 679 because 27 679 a 29 679 German 30 679 exegetist 31 679 supposes 32 679 that 33 679 Jonah 34 679 must 36 679 have 37 679 taken 38 679 refuge 39 679 in 40 679 the 41 679 floating 43 679 body 44 679 of 45 679 a 46 679 DEAD 47 679 whale--even 48 679 as 50 679 the 51 679 French 52 679 soldiers 53 679 in 54 679 the 55 679 Russian 57 679 campaign 58 679 turned 59 679 their 60 679 dead 61 679 horses 62 679 into 64 679 tents, 65 679 and 66 679 crawled 67 679 into 68 679 them. 69 679 Besides, 71 679 it 72 679 has 73 679 been 74 679 divined 75 679 by 76 679 other 78 679 continental 79 679 commentators, 80 679 that 81 679 when 82 679 Jonah 83 679 was 85 679 thrown 86 679 overboard 87 679 from 88 679 the 89 679 Joppa 90 679 ship, 92 679 he 93 679 straightway 94 679 effected 95 679 his 96 679 escape 99 679 to 100 679 another 101 679 vessel 102 679 near 103 679 by, 104 679 some 106 679 vessel 107 679 with 108 679 a 109 679 whale 110 679 for 111 679 a 113 679 figure-head; 114 679 and, 115 679 I 116 679 would 117 679 add, 118 679 possibly 120 679 called 121 679 "The 122 679 Whale," 123 679 as 124 679 some 125 679 craft 127 679 are 128 679 nowadays 129 679 christened 130 679 the 131 679 "Shark," 132 679 the 134 679 "Gull," 135 679 the 136 679 "Eagle." 137 679 Nor 138 679 have 139 679 there 141 679 been 142 679 wanting 143 679 learned 144 679 exegetists 145 679 who 146 679 have 148 679 opined 149 679 that 150 679 the 151 679 whale 152 679 mentioned 153 679 in 155 679 the 156 679 book 157 679 of 158 679 Jonah 159 679 merely 160 679 meant 162 679 a 163 679 life-preserver--an 164 679 inflated 165 679 bag 166 679 of 167 679 wind--which 169 679 the 170 679 endangered 171 679 prophet 172 679 swam 173 679 to, 174 679 and 176 679 so 177 679 was 178 679 saved 179 679 from 180 679 a 181 679 watery 183 679 doom. 184 679 Poor 185 679 Sag-Harbor, 186 679 therefore, 187 679 seems 188 679 worsted 190 679 all 191 679 round. 192 679 But 193 679 he 195 679 had 197 679 still 198 679 another 199 679 reason 200 679 for 201 679 his 202 679 want 204 679 of 205 679 faith. 206 679 It 207 679 was 208 679 this, 209 679 if 211 679 I 212 679 remember 213 679 right: 214 679 Jonah 215 679 was 216 679 swallowed 218 679 by 219 679 the 220 679 whale 221 679 in 222 679 the 223 679 Mediterranean 225 679 Sea, 226 679 and 227 679 after 228 679 three 229 679 days 230 679 he 232 679 was 233 679 vomited 234 679 up 235 679 somewhere 236 679 within 237 679 three 239 679 days' 240 679 journey 241 679 of 242 679 Nineveh, 243 679 a 244 679 city 246 679 on 247 679 the 248 679 Tigris, 249 679 very 250 679 much 251 679 more 253 679 than 254 679 three 255 679 days' 256 679 journey 257 679 across 258 679 from 260 679 the 261 679 nearest 262 679 point 263 679 of 264 679 the 265 679 Mediterranean 267 679 coast. 268 679 How 269 679 is 270 679 that? 271 679 But 272 679 was 274 679 there 275 679 no 276 679 other 277 679 way 278 679 for 279 679 the 281 679 whale 282 679 to 283 679 land 284 679 the 285 679 prophet 286 679 within 288 679 that 289 679 short 290 679 distance 292 679 of 293 679 Nineveh? 295 679 Yes. 296 679 He 297 679 might 298 679 have 299 679 carried 300 679 him 302 679 round 303 679 by 304 679 the 305 679 way 306 679 of 307 679 the 309 679 Cape 310 679 of 311 679 Good 312 679 Hope. 313 679 But 314 679 not 316 679 to 317 679 speak 318 679 of 319 679 the 320 679 passage 321 679 through 323 679 the 324 679 whole 325 679 length 326 679 of 327 679 the 328 679 Mediterranean, 330 679 and 331 679 another 332 679 passage 333 679 up 334 679 the 335 679 Persian 337 679 Gulf 338 679 and 339 679 Red 340 679 Sea, 341 679 such 342 679 a 344 679 supposition 345 679 would 346 679 involve 347 679 the 348 679 complete 349 679 circumnavigation 351 679 of 352 679 all 353 679 Africa 354 679 in 355 679 three 356 679 days, 358 679 not 359 679 to 360 679 speak 361 679 of 362 679 the 363 679 Tigris 365 679 waters, 366 679 near 367 679 the 368 679 site 369 679 of 370 679 Nineveh, 372 679 being 373 679 too 374 679 shallow 375 679 for 376 679 any 377 679 whale 379 679 to 380 679 swim 381 679 in. 382 679 Besides, 383 679 this 384 679 idea 386 679 of 387 679 Jonah's 389 679 weathering 390 679 the 391 679 Cape 393 679 of 394 679 Good 395 679 Hope 396 679 at 397 679 so 398 679 early 400 679 a 401 679 day 402 679 would 403 679 wrest 404 679 the 405 679 honour 407 679 of 408 679 the 409 679 discovery 410 679 of 411 679 that 412 679 great 414 679 headland 415 679 from 416 679 Bartholomew 417 679 Diaz, 418 679 its 419 679 reputed 421 679 discoverer, 422 679 and 423 679 so 424 679 make 425 679 modern 426 679 history 428 679 a 429 679 liar. 430 679 But 431 679 all 432 679 these 433 679 foolish 435 679 arguments 436 679 of 437 679 old 438 679 Sag-Harbor 439 679 only 440 679 evinced 442 679 his 443 679 foolish 444 679 pride 445 679 of 446 679 reason--a 447 679 thing 449 679 still 450 679 more 451 679 reprehensible 452 679 in 453 679 him, 454 679 seeing 456 679 that 457 679 he 458 679 had 459 679 but 460 679 little 461 679 learning 463 679 except 464 679 what 465 679 he 466 679 had 467 679 picked 468 679 up 470 679 from 471 679 the 472 679 sun 473 679 and 474 679 the 475 679 sea. 477 679 I 478 679 say 479 679 it 480 679 only 481 679 shows 482 679 his 484 679 foolish, 486 679 impious 487 679 pride, 488 679 and 489 679 abominable, 491 679 devilish 492 679 rebellion 493 679 against 494 679 the 495 679 reverend 496 679 clergy. 498 679 For 499 679 by 500 679 a 501 679 Portuguese 502 679 Catholic 503 679 priest, 505 679 this 506 679 very 507 679 idea 508 679 of 509 679 Jonah's 510 679 going 512 679 to 513 679 Nineveh 514 679 via 515 679 the 516 679 Cape 517 679 of 519 679 Good 520 679 Hope 521 679 was 522 679 advanced 523 679 as 524 679 a 526 679 signal 527 679 magnification 528 679 of 529 679 the 530 679 general 531 679 miracle. 533 679 And 534 679 so 535 679 it 536 679 was. 537 679 Besides, 538 679 to 540 679 this 541 679 day, 542 679 the 543 679 highly 544 679 enlightened 545 679 Turks 547 679 devoutly 548 679 believe 549 679 in 550 679 the 551 679 historical 552 679 story 554 679 of 555 679 Jonah. 556 679 And 557 679 some 558 679 three 559 679 centuries 561 679 ago, 562 679 an 563 679 English 564 679 traveller 565 679 in 566 679 old 568 679 Harris's 569 679 Voyages, 570 679 speaks 571 679 of 572 679 a 573 679 Turkish 575 679 Mosque 576 679 built 577 679 in 578 679 honour 579 679 of 580 679 Jonah, 583 679 in 584 679 which 585 679 Mosque 586 679 was 587 679 a 589 679 miraculous 590 679 lamp 591 679 that 592 679 burnt 593 679 without 594 679 any 596 679 oil. 597 679 CHAPTER 598 679 84 599 679 Pitchpoling. 600 679 To 601 679 make 603 679 them 604 679 run 605 679 easily 606 679 and 607 679 swiftly, 608 679 the 610 679 axles 611 679 of 612 679 carriages 613 679 are 614 679 anointed; 615 679 and 617 679 for 618 679 much 619 679 the 620 679 same 621 679 purpose, 622 679 some 624 679 whalers 625 679 perform 626 679 an 627 679 analogous 628 679 operation 629 679 upon 631 679 their 632 679 boat; 633 679 they 634 679 grease 635 679 the 636 679 bottom. 638 679 Nor 639 679 is 640 679 it 641 679 to 642 679 be 643 679 doubted 645 679 that 646 679 as 647 679 such 648 679 a 649 679 procedure 650 679 can 652 679 do 653 679 no 654 679 harm, 655 679 it 656 679 may 657 679 possibly 659 679 be 660 679 of 661 679 no 662 679 contemptible 663 679 advantage; 664 679 considering 666 679 that 667 679 oil 668 679 and 669 679 water 670 679 are 671 679 hostile; 673 679 that 674 679 oil 675 679 is 676 679 a 677 679 sliding 678 679 thing, 1 680 and 3 680 that 7 680 the 9 680 object 11 680 in 13 680 view 19 680 is 21 680 to 23 680 make 27 680 the 29 680 boat 31 680 slide 33 680 bravely. 37 680 Queequeg 39 680 believed 41 680 strongly 43 680 in 47 680 anointing 49 680 his 53 680 boat, 57 680 and 59 680 one 61 680 morning 63 680 not 67 680 long 69 680 after 71 680 the 73 680 German 77 680 ship 79 680 Jungfrau 81 680 disappeared, 83 680 took 87 680 more 89 680 than 91 680 customary 93 680 pains 97 680 in 99 680 that 101 680 occupation; 103 680 crawling 107 680 under 109 680 its 111 680 bottom, 113 680 where 117 680 it 121 680 hung 123 680 over 127 680 the 129 680 side, 131 680 and 133 680 rubbing 137 680 in 139 680 the 141 680 unctuousness 143 680 as 147 680 though 149 680 diligently 151 680 seeking 157 680 to 159 680 insure 161 680 a 163 680 crop 167 680 of 169 680 hair 171 680 from 173 680 the 177 680 craft's 179 680 bald 181 680 keel. 183 680 He 189 680 seemed 191 680 to 193 680 be 197 680 working 199 680 in 201 680 obedience 203 680 to 207 680 some 209 680 particular 211 680 presentiment. 213 680 Nor 217 680 did 219 680 it 223 680 remain 227 680 unwarranted 229 680 by 231 680 the 233 680 event. 237 680 Towards 239 680 noon 241 680 whales 243 680 were 247 680 raised; 249 680 but 251 680 so 253 680 soon 257 680 as 259 680 the 261 680 ship 263 680 sailed 267 680 down 269 680 to 271 680 them, 273 680 they 277 680 turned 279 680 and 281 680 fled 283 680 with 287 680 swift 291 680 precipitancy; 293 680 a 297 680 disordered 299 680 flight, 301 680 as 303 680 of 307 680 Cleopatra's 309 680 barges 311 680 from 313 680 Actium. 317 680 Nevertheless, 319 680 the 321 680 boats 327 680 pursued, 329 680 and 331 680 Stubb's 333 680 was 337 680 foremost. 339 680 By 341 680 great 343 680 exertion, 347 680 Tashtego 349 680 at 351 680 last 353 680 succeeded 359 680 in 361 680 planting 363 680 one 367 680 iron; 369 680 but 371 680 the 373 680 stricken 377 680 whale, 379 680 without 381 680 at 383 680 all 387 680 sounding, 389 680 still 393 680 continued 397 680 his 399 680 horizontal 401 680 flight, 403 680 with 407 680 added 409 680 fleetness. 411 680 Such 413 680 unintermitted 417 680 strainings 419 680 upon 421 680 the 423 680 planted 427 680 iron 429 680 must 431 680 sooner 433 680 or 437 680 later 439 680 inevitably 441 680 extract 443 680 it. 447 680 It 449 680 became 451 680 imperative 453 680 to 457 680 lance 461 680 the 463 680 flying 467 680 whale, 469 680 or 471 680 be 473 680 content 477 680 to 479 680 lose 481 680 him. 483 680 But 487 680 to 489 680 haul 491 680 the 497 680 boat 499 680 up 501 680 to 503 680 his 507 680 flank 509 680 was 511 680 impossible, 513 680 he 517 680 swam 519 680 so 521 680 fast 523 680 and 529 680 furious. 531 680 What 533 680 then 537 680 remained? 539 680 Of 541 680 all 543 680 the 547 680 wondrous 549 680 devices 551 680 and 553 680 dexterities, 557 680 the 559 680 sleights 563 680 of 567 680 hand 569 680 and 571 680 countless 573 680 subtleties, 577 680 to 579 680 which 581 680 the 583 680 veteran 587 680 whaleman 589 680 is 591 680 so 593 680 often 597 680 forced, 599 680 none 601 680 exceed 603 680 that 607 680 fine 609 680 manoeuvre 611 680 with 613 680 the 617 680 lance 619 680 called 621 680 pitchpoling. 623 680 Small 627 680 sword, 631 680 or 633 680 broad 637 680 sword, 639 680 in 641 680 all 643 680 its 647 680 exercises 649 680 boasts 651 680 nothing 653 680 like 657 680 it. 659 680 It 661 680 is 667 680 only 669 680 indispensable 671 680 with 673 680 an 677 680 inveterate 679 680 running 1 681 whale; 2 681 its 4 681 grand 5 681 fact 7 681 and 8 681 feature 10 681 is 11 681 the 13 681 wonderful 14 681 distance 16 681 to 17 681 which 19 681 the 20 681 long 22 681 lance 23 681 is 25 681 accurately 26 681 darted 28 681 from 29 681 a 31 681 violently 32 681 rocking, 34 681 jerking 35 681 boat, 37 681 under 38 681 extreme 40 681 headway. 41 681 Steel 43 681 and 44 681 wood 46 681 included, 47 681 the 49 681 entire 50 681 spear 52 681 is 53 681 some 55 681 ten 56 681 or 58 681 twelve 59 681 feet 61 681 in 62 681 length; 64 681 the 65 681 staff 67 681 is 68 681 much 70 681 slighter 71 681 than 73 681 that 74 681 of 76 681 the 77 681 harpoon, 79 681 and 80 681 also 82 681 of 83 681 a 85 681 lighter 86 681 material--pine. 88 681 It 89 681 is 91 681 furnished 92 681 with 94 681 a 95 681 small 97 681 rope 98 681 called 100 681 a 101 681 warp, 103 681 of 104 681 considerable 106 681 length, 107 681 by 109 681 which 110 681 it 112 681 can 113 681 be 115 681 hauled 116 681 back 118 681 to 119 681 the 121 681 hand 122 681 after 124 681 darting. 125 681 But 127 681 before 128 681 going 130 681 further, 131 681 it 133 681 is 134 681 important 136 681 to 137 681 mention 139 681 here, 140 681 that 142 681 though 143 681 the 145 681 harpoon 146 681 may 148 681 be 149 681 pitchpoled 151 681 in 152 681 the 154 681 same 155 681 way 157 681 with 158 681 the 160 681 lance, 161 681 yet 163 681 it 164 681 is 166 681 seldom 167 681 done; 169 681 and 170 681 when 172 681 done, 173 681 is 175 681 still 176 681 less 178 681 frequently 179 681 successful, 181 681 on 182 681 account 184 681 of 185 681 the 187 681 greater 188 681 weight 190 681 and 191 681 inferior 193 681 length 194 681 of 196 681 the 197 681 harpoon 199 681 as 200 681 compared 202 681 with 203 681 the 205 681 lance, 206 681 which 208 681 in 209 681 effect 211 681 become 212 681 serious 214 681 drawbacks. 215 681 As 217 681 a 218 681 general 220 681 thing, 221 681 therefore, 223 681 you 224 681 must 226 681 first 229 681 get 230 681 fast 232 681 to 233 681 a 235 681 whale, 236 681 before 238 681 any 239 681 pitchpoling 241 681 comes 242 681 into 244 681 play. 245 681 Look 247 681 now 248 681 at 250 681 Stubb; 251 681 a 253 681 man 254 681 who 256 681 from 257 681 his 259 681 humorous, 260 681 deliberate 262 681 coolness 263 681 and 265 681 equanimity 266 681 in 268 681 the 269 681 direst 271 681 emergencies, 272 681 was 274 681 specially 275 681 qualified 277 681 to 278 681 excel 280 681 in 281 681 pitchpoling. 283 681 Look 284 681 at 286 681 him; 287 681 he 289 681 stands 290 681 upright 292 681 in 293 681 the 295 681 tossed 296 681 bow 298 681 of 299 681 the 301 681 flying 302 681 boat; 304 681 wrapt 305 681 in 307 681 fleecy 308 681 foam, 310 681 the 311 681 towing 313 681 whale 314 681 is 316 681 forty 317 681 feet 319 681 ahead. 320 681 Handling 322 681 the 323 681 long 325 681 lance 326 681 lightly, 328 681 glancing 329 681 twice 331 681 or 332 681 thrice 334 681 along 335 681 its 337 681 length 338 681 to 340 681 see 341 681 if 343 681 it 344 681 be 346 681 exactly 347 681 straight, 349 681 Stubb 350 681 whistlingly 352 681 gathers 353 681 up 355 681 the 356 681 coil 358 681 of 359 681 the 361 681 warp 362 681 in 364 681 one 365 681 hand, 367 681 so 368 681 as 370 681 to 371 681 secure 373 681 its 374 681 free 376 681 end 377 681 in 379 681 his 380 681 grasp, 382 681 leaving 383 681 the 385 681 rest 386 681 unobstructed. 388 681 Then 389 681 holding 391 681 the 392 681 lance 394 681 full 395 681 before 397 681 his 398 681 waistband's 400 681 middle, 401 681 he 403 681 levels 404 681 it 406 681 at 407 681 the 409 681 whale; 410 681 when, 412 681 covering 413 681 him 415 681 with 416 681 it, 418 681 he 419 681 steadily 421 681 depresses 422 681 the 424 681 butt-end 425 681 in 427 681 his 428 681 hand, 430 681 thereby 431 681 elevating 433 681 the 434 681 point 436 681 till 437 681 the 439 681 weapon 440 681 stands 442 681 fairly 443 681 balanced 445 681 upon 446 681 his 448 681 palm, 449 681 fifteen 451 681 feet 452 681 in 455 681 the 457 681 air. 458 681 He 460 681 minds 461 681 you 463 681 somewhat 464 681 of 466 681 a 467 681 juggler, 469 681 balancing 470 681 a 472 681 long 473 681 staff 475 681 on 476 681 his 478 681 chin. 479 681 Next 481 681 moment 482 681 with 484 681 a 485 681 rapid, 487 681 nameless 488 681 impulse, 490 681 in 491 681 a 493 681 superb 494 681 lofty 496 681 arch 497 681 the 499 681 bright 500 681 steel 502 681 spans 503 681 the 505 681 foaming 506 681 distance, 508 681 and 509 681 quivers 511 681 in 512 681 the 514 681 life 515 681 spot 517 681 of 518 681 the 520 681 whale. 521 681 Instead 523 681 of 524 681 sparkling 526 681 water, 527 681 he 529 681 now 530 681 spouts 532 681 red 533 681 blood. 535 681 "That 536 681 drove 538 681 the 539 681 spigot 541 681 out 542 681 of 544 681 him!" 545 681 cried 547 681 Stubb. 548 681 "'Tis 550 681 July's 551 681 immortal 553 681 Fourth; 554 681 all 556 681 fountains 557 681 must 559 681 run 560 681 wine 562 681 today! 563 681 Would 565 681 now, 566 681 it 568 681 were 569 681 old 571 681 Orleans 572 681 whiskey, 574 681 or 575 681 old 577 681 Ohio, 578 681 or 580 681 unspeakable 581 681 old 583 681 Monongahela! 584 681 Then, 586 681 Tashtego, 587 681 lad, 589 681 I'd 590 681 have 592 681 ye 593 681 hold 595 681 a 596 681 canakin 598 681 to 599 681 the 601 681 jet, 602 681 and 604 681 we'd 605 681 drink 607 681 round 608 681 it! 610 681 Yea, 611 681 verily, 613 681 hearts 614 681 alive, 616 681 we'd 617 681 brew 619 681 choice 620 681 punch 622 681 in 623 681 the 625 681 spread 626 681 of 628 681 his 629 681 spout-hole 631 681 there, 632 681 and 634 681 from 635 681 that 637 681 live 638 681 punch-bowl 640 681 quaff 641 681 the 643 681 living 644 681 stuff." 646 681 Again 647 681 and 649 681 again 650 681 to 652 681 such 653 681 gamesome 655 681 talk, 656 681 the 658 681 dexterous 659 681 dart 661 681 is 662 681 repeated, 664 681 the 665 681 spear 667 681 returning 668 681 to 670 681 its 671 681 master 673 681 like 674 681 a 676 681 greyhound 677 681 held 679 681 in 680 681 skilful 1 682 leash. 3 682 The 5 682 agonized 7 682 whale 9 682 goes 13 682 into 15 682 his 17 682 flurry; 19 682 the 21 682 tow-line 23 682 is 25 682 slackened, 27 682 and 29 682 the 35 682 pitchpoler 37 682 dropping 39 682 astern, 41 682 folds 43 682 his 45 682 hands, 47 682 and 49 682 mutely 51 682 watches 53 682 the 57 682 monster 59 682 die. 61 682 CHAPTER 63 682 85 65 682 The 67 682 Fountain. 69 682 That 71 682 for 73 682 six 75 682 thousand 79 682 years--and 81 682 no 83 682 one 85 682 knows 87 682 how 89 682 many 91 682 millions 95 682 of 97 682 ages 101 682 before--the 103 682 great 105 682 whales 107 682 should 109 682 have 111 682 been 113 682 spouting 115 682 all 117 682 over 119 682 the 123 682 sea, 125 682 and 127 682 sprinkling 129 682 and 131 682 mistifying 133 682 the 135 682 gardens 137 682 of 139 682 the 141 682 deep, 145 682 as 147 682 with 149 682 so 151 682 many 153 682 sprinkling 157 682 or 159 682 mistifying 161 682 pots; 163 682 and 167 682 that 169 682 for 171 682 some 173 682 centuries 175 682 back, 177 682 thousands 179 682 of 181 682 hunters 183 682 should 185 682 have 189 682 been 191 682 close 193 682 by 195 682 the 197 682 fountain 199 682 of 201 682 the 203 682 whale, 205 682 watching 207 682 these 211 682 sprinklings 213 682 and 215 682 spoutings--that 219 682 all 221 682 this 223 682 should 225 682 be, 227 682 and 229 682 yet, 233 682 that 235 682 down 237 682 to 239 682 this 241 682 blessed 243 682 minute 245 682 (fifteen 247 682 and 249 682 a 251 682 quarter 255 682 minutes 257 682 past 259 682 one 261 682 o'clock 263 682 P.M. 265 682 of 267 682 this 269 682 sixteenth 271 682 day 273 682 of 277 682 December, 281 682 A.D. 283 682 1851), 285 682 it 287 682 should 289 682 still 291 682 remain 293 682 a 295 682 problem, 299 682 whether 301 682 these 303 682 spoutings 305 682 are, 307 682 after 309 682 all, 311 682 really 313 682 water, 315 682 or 317 682 nothing 321 682 but 323 682 vapour--this 325 682 is 327 682 surely 329 682 a 331 682 noteworthy 333 682 thing. 335 682 Let 337 682 us, 339 682 then, 343 682 look 345 682 at 347 682 this 349 682 matter, 351 682 along 353 682 with 355 682 some 357 682 interesting 359 682 items 361 682 contingent. 365 682 Every 367 682 one 369 682 knows 371 682 that 373 682 by 375 682 the 377 682 peculiar 379 682 cunning 381 682 of 383 682 their 387 682 gills, 389 682 the 391 682 finny 393 682 tribes 395 682 in 397 682 general 399 682 breathe 401 682 the 405 682 air 409 682 which 411 682 at 413 682 all 415 682 times 417 682 is 419 682 combined 421 682 with 423 682 the 425 682 element 427 682 in 431 682 which 433 682 they 435 682 swim; 437 682 hence, 439 682 a 441 682 herring 443 682 or 445 682 a 447 682 cod 449 682 might 453 682 live 455 682 a 457 682 century, 459 682 and 461 682 never 463 682 once 467 682 raise 469 682 its 471 682 head 475 682 above 477 682 the 479 682 surface. 481 682 But 483 682 owing 485 682 to 487 682 his 489 682 marked 491 682 internal 493 682 structure 497 682 which 499 682 gives 501 682 him 503 682 regular 505 682 lungs, 507 682 like 509 682 a 511 682 human 513 682 being's, 515 682 the 519 682 whale 521 682 can 523 682 only 525 682 live 529 682 by 531 682 inhaling 533 682 the 535 682 disengaged 537 682 air 541 682 in 543 682 the 545 682 open 547 682 atmosphere. 549 682 Wherefore 551 682 the 553 682 necessity 555 682 for 557 682 his 559 682 periodical 563 682 visits 565 682 to 567 682 the 569 682 upper 571 682 world. 573 682 But 575 682 he 577 682 cannot 579 682 in 581 682 any 585 682 degree 587 682 breathe 591 682 through 593 682 his 595 682 mouth, 597 682 for, 599 682 in 601 682 his 603 682 ordinary 607 682 attitude, 609 682 the 611 682 Sperm 613 682 Whale's 615 682 mouth 617 682 is 619 682 buried 621 682 at 623 682 least 625 682 eight 629 682 feet 631 682 beneath 633 682 the 635 682 surface; 637 682 and 639 682 what 641 682 is 643 682 still 645 682 more, 647 682 his 653 682 windpipe 655 682 has 657 682 no 659 682 connexion 661 682 with 663 682 his 665 682 mouth. 667 682 No, 669 682 he 673 682 breathes 675 682 through 677 682 his 679 682 spiracle 681 682 alone; 1 683 and 2 683 this 3 683 is 4 683 on 5 683 the 6 683 top 7 683 of 8 683 his 9 683 head. 10 683 If 11 683 I 12 683 say, 13 683 that 14 683 in 15 683 any 16 683 creature 17 683 breathing 18 683 is 19 683 only 20 683 a 21 683 function 22 683 indispensable 23 683 to 24 683 vitality, 25 683 inasmuch 26 683 as 27 683 it 28 683 withdraws 29 683 from 30 683 the 31 683 air 32 683 a 33 683 certain 34 683 element, 35 683 which 36 683 being 37 683 subsequently 38 683 brought 39 683 into 40 683 contact 41 683 with 42 683 the 43 683 blood 44 683 imparts 45 683 to 46 683 the 47 683 blood 48 683 its 49 683 vivifying 50 683 principle, 51 683 I 52 683 do 53 683 not 54 683 think 55 683 I 56 683 shall 57 683 err; 58 683 though 59 683 I 60 683 may 61 683 possibly 62 683 use 63 683 some 64 683 superfluous 65 683 scientific 66 683 words. 67 683 Assume 68 683 it, 69 683 and 70 683 it 71 683 follows 72 683 that 73 683 if 74 683 all 75 683 the 76 683 blood 77 683 in 78 683 a 79 683 man 80 683 could 81 683 be 82 683 aerated 83 683 with 84 683 one 85 683 breath, 86 683 he 87 683 might 88 683 then 89 683 seal 90 683 up 91 683 his 92 683 nostrils 93 683 and 94 683 not 95 683 fetch 96 683 another 97 683 for 98 683 a 99 683 considerable 100 683 time. 101 683 That 102 683 is 103 683 to 104 683 say, 105 683 he 106 683 would 107 683 then 108 683 live 109 683 without 110 683 breathing. 111 683 Anomalous 112 683 as 113 683 it 114 683 may 115 683 seem, 116 683 this 117 683 is 118 683 precisely 119 683 the 120 683 case 121 683 with 122 683 the 123 683 whale, 124 683 who 125 683 systematically 126 683 lives, 127 683 by 128 683 intervals, 129 683 his 130 683 full 131 683 hour 132 683 and 133 683 more 134 683 (when 135 683 at 136 683 the 137 683 bottom) 138 683 without 139 683 drawing 140 683 a 141 683 single 142 683 breath, 143 683 or 144 683 so 145 683 much 146 683 as 147 683 in 148 683 any 149 683 way 150 683 inhaling 151 683 a 152 683 particle 153 683 of 154 683 air; 155 683 for, 156 683 remember, 157 683 he 158 683 has 159 683 no 160 683 gills. 161 683 How 162 683 is 163 683 this? 164 683 Between 165 683 his 166 683 ribs 167 683 and 168 683 on 169 683 each 170 683 side 171 683 of 172 683 his 173 683 spine 174 683 he 175 683 is 176 683 supplied 177 683 with 178 683 a 179 683 remarkable 180 683 involved 181 683 Cretan 182 683 labyrinth 183 683 of 184 683 vermicelli-like 185 683 vessels, 186 683 which 187 683 vessels, 188 683 when 189 683 he 190 683 quits 191 683 the 192 683 surface, 193 683 are 194 683 completely 195 683 distended 196 683 with 197 683 oxygenated 198 683 blood. 199 683 So 200 683 that 201 683 for 202 683 an 203 683 hour 204 683 or 205 683 more, 206 683 a 207 683 thousand 208 683 fathoms 209 683 in 210 683 the 211 683 sea, 212 683 he 213 683 carries 214 683 a 215 683 surplus 216 683 stock 217 683 of 218 683 vitality 219 683 in 220 683 him, 221 683 just 222 683 as 223 683 the 224 683 camel 225 683 crossing 226 683 the 227 683 waterless 228 683 desert 229 683 carries 230 683 a 231 683 surplus 232 683 supply 233 683 of 234 683 drink 235 683 for 236 683 future 237 683 use 238 683 in 239 683 its 240 683 four 241 683 supplementary 242 683 stomachs. 243 683 The 244 683 anatomical 245 683 fact 246 683 of 247 683 this 248 683 labyrinth 249 683 is 250 683 indisputable; 251 683 and 252 683 that 253 683 the 254 683 supposition 255 683 founded 256 683 upon 257 683 it 258 683 is 259 683 reasonable 260 683 and 261 683 true, 262 683 seems 263 683 the 264 683 more 265 683 cogent 266 683 to 267 683 me, 268 683 when 269 683 I 270 683 consider 271 683 the 272 683 otherwise 273 683 inexplicable 274 683 obstinacy 275 683 of 276 683 that 277 683 leviathan 278 683 in 279 683 HAVING 280 683 HIS 281 683 SPOUTINGS 282 683 OUT, 283 683 as 284 683 the 285 683 fishermen 286 683 phrase 287 683 it. 288 683 This 289 683 is 290 683 what 291 683 I 292 683 mean. 293 683 If 294 683 unmolested, 295 683 upon 296 683 rising 297 683 to 298 683 the 299 683 surface, 300 683 the 301 683 Sperm 302 683 Whale 303 683 will 304 683 continue 305 683 there 306 683 for 307 683 a 308 683 period 309 683 of 310 683 time 311 683 exactly 312 683 uniform 313 683 with 314 683 all 315 683 his 316 683 other 317 683 unmolested 318 683 risings. 319 683 Say 320 683 he 321 683 stays 322 683 eleven 323 683 minutes, 324 683 and 325 683 jets 326 683 seventy 327 683 times, 328 683 that 329 683 is, 330 683 respires 331 683 seventy 332 683 breaths; 333 683 then 334 683 whenever 335 683 he 336 683 rises 337 683 again, 338 683 he 339 683 will 340 683 be 341 683 sure 342 683 to 343 683 have 344 683 his 345 683 seventy 346 683 breaths 347 683 over 348 683 again, 349 683 to 350 683 a 351 683 minute. 352 683 Now, 353 683 if 354 683 after 355 683 he 356 683 fetches 357 683 a 358 683 few 359 683 breaths 360 683 you 361 683 alarm 362 683 him, 363 683 so 364 683 that 365 683 he 366 683 sounds, 367 683 he 368 683 will 369 683 be 370 683 always 371 683 dodging 372 683 up 373 683 again 374 683 to 375 683 make 376 683 good 377 683 his 378 683 regular 379 683 allowance 380 683 of 381 683 air. 382 683 And 383 683 not 384 683 till 385 683 those 386 683 seventy 387 683 breaths 388 683 are 389 683 told, 390 683 will 391 683 he 392 683 finally 393 683 go 394 683 down 395 683 to 396 683 stay 397 683 out 398 683 his 399 683 full 400 683 term 401 683 below. 402 683 Remark, 403 683 however, 404 683 that 405 683 in 406 683 different 407 683 individuals 408 683 these 409 683 rates 410 683 are 411 683 different; 412 683 but 413 683 in 414 683 any 415 683 one 416 683 they 417 683 are 418 683 alike. 419 683 Now, 420 683 why 421 683 should 422 683 the 423 683 whale 424 683 thus 425 683 insist 426 683 upon 427 683 having 428 683 his 429 683 spoutings 430 683 out, 431 683 unless 432 683 it 433 683 be 434 683 to 435 683 replenish 436 683 his 437 683 reservoir 438 683 of 439 683 air, 440 683 ere 441 683 descending 442 683 for 443 683 good? 444 683 How 445 683 obvious 446 683 is 447 683 it, 448 683 too, 449 683 that 450 683 this 451 683 necessity 452 683 for 453 683 the 454 683 whale's 455 683 rising 456 683 exposes 457 683 him 458 683 to 459 683 all 460 683 the 461 683 fatal 462 683 hazards 463 683 of 464 683 the 465 683 chase. 466 683 For 467 683 not 468 683 by 469 683 hook 470 683 or 471 683 by 472 683 net 473 683 could 474 683 this 475 683 vast 476 683 leviathan 477 683 be 478 683 caught, 479 683 when 480 683 sailing 481 683 a 482 683 thousand 483 683 fathoms 484 683 beneath 485 683 the 486 683 sunlight. 487 683 Not 488 683 so 489 683 much 490 683 thy 491 683 skill, 492 683 then, 493 683 O 494 683 hunter, 495 683 as 496 683 the 497 683 great 498 683 necessities 499 683 that 500 683 strike 501 683 the 502 683 victory 503 683 to 504 683 thee! 505 683 In 506 683 man, 507 683 breathing 508 683 is 509 683 incessantly 510 683 going 511 683 on--one 512 683 breath 513 683 only 514 683 serving 515 683 for 516 683 two 517 683 or 518 683 three 519 683 pulsations; 520 683 so 521 683 that 522 683 whatever 523 683 other 524 683 business 525 683 he 526 683 has 527 683 to 528 683 attend 529 683 to, 530 683 waking 531 683 or 532 683 sleeping, 533 683 breathe 534 683 he 535 683 must, 536 683 or 537 683 die 538 683 he 539 683 will. 540 683 But 541 683 the 542 683 Sperm 543 683 Whale 544 683 only 545 683 breathes 546 683 about 547 683 one 548 683 seventh 549 683 or 550 683 Sunday 551 683 of 552 683 his 553 683 time. 554 683 It 555 683 has 556 683 been 557 683 said 558 683 that 559 683 the 560 683 whale 561 683 only 562 683 breathes 563 683 through 564 683 his 565 683 spout-hole; 566 683 if 567 683 it 568 683 could 569 683 truthfully 570 683 be 571 683 added 572 683 that 573 683 his 574 683 spouts 575 683 are 576 683 mixed 577 683 with 578 683 water, 579 683 then 580 683 I 581 683 opine 582 683 we 583 683 should 584 683 be 585 683 furnished 586 683 with 587 683 the 588 683 reason 589 683 why 590 683 his 591 683 sense 592 683 of 593 683 smell 594 683 seems 595 683 obliterated 596 683 in 597 683 him; 598 683 for 599 683 the 600 683 only 601 683 thing 602 683 about 603 683 him 604 683 that 605 683 at 606 683 all 607 683 answers 608 683 to 609 683 his 610 683 nose 611 683 is 612 683 that 613 683 identical 614 683 spout-hole; 615 683 and 616 683 being 617 683 so 618 683 clogged 619 683 with 620 683 two 621 683 elements, 622 683 it 623 683 could 624 683 not 625 683 be 626 683 expected 627 683 to 628 683 have 629 683 the 630 683 power 631 683 of 632 683 smelling. 633 683 But 634 683 owing 635 683 to 636 683 the 637 683 mystery 638 683 of 639 683 the 640 683 spout--whether 641 683 it 642 683 be 643 683 water 644 683 or 645 683 whether 646 683 it 647 683 be 648 683 vapour--no 649 683 absolute 650 683 certainty 651 683 can 652 683 as 653 683 yet 654 683 be 655 683 arrived 656 683 at 657 683 on 658 683 this 659 683 head. 660 683 Sure 661 683 it 662 683 is, 663 683 nevertheless, 664 683 that 665 683 the 666 683 Sperm 667 683 Whale 668 683 has 669 683 no 670 683 proper 671 683 olfactories. 672 683 But 673 683 what 674 683 does 675 683 he 676 683 want 677 683 of 678 683 them? 679 683 No 680 683 roses, 681 683 no 682 683 violets, 1 684 no 5 684 Cologne-water 7 684 in 11 684 the 13 684 sea. 17 684 Furthermore, 23 684 as 25 684 his 29 684 windpipe 31 684 solely 35 684 opens 37 684 into 41 684 the 43 684 tube 47 684 of 49 684 his 53 684 spouting 55 684 canal, 59 684 and 61 684 as 65 684 that 67 684 long 71 684 canal--like 73 684 the 77 684 grand 79 684 Erie 83 684 Canal--is 85 684 furnished 89 684 with 91 684 a 97 684 sort 101 684 of 103 684 locks 107 684 (that 109 684 open 113 684 and 115 684 shut) 119 684 for 121 684 the 125 684 downward 127 684 retention 131 684 of 137 684 air 139 684 or 143 684 the 145 684 upward 149 684 exclusion 151 684 of 155 684 water, 157 684 therefore 161 684 the 163 684 whale 167 684 has 169 684 no 173 684 voice; 175 684 unless 179 684 you 181 684 insult 185 684 him 187 684 by 191 684 saying, 193 684 that 197 684 when 199 684 he 203 684 so 205 684 strangely 211 684 rumbles, 215 684 he 217 684 talks 221 684 through 223 684 his 227 684 nose. 229 684 But 233 684 then 235 684 again, 239 684 what 241 684 has 245 684 the 251 684 whale 253 684 to 257 684 say? 259 684 Seldom 263 684 have 265 684 I 269 684 known 271 684 any 275 684 profound 277 684 being 281 684 that 283 684 had 287 684 anything 289 684 to 293 684 say 295 684 to 299 684 this 301 684 world, 305 684 unless 307 684 forced 311 684 to 313 684 stammer 317 684 out 319 684 something 325 684 by 329 684 way 331 684 of 335 684 getting 337 684 a 341 684 living. 343 684 Oh! 347 684 happy 349 684 that 353 684 the 355 684 world 359 684 is 365 684 such 367 684 an 371 684 excellent 373 684 listener! 377 684 Now, 379 684 the 383 684 spouting 385 684 canal 389 684 of 391 684 the 395 684 Sperm 397 684 Whale, 401 684 chiefly 403 684 intended 407 684 as 409 684 it 413 684 is 415 684 for 419 684 the 421 684 conveyance 425 684 of 427 684 air, 431 684 and 433 684 for 439 684 several 443 684 feet 445 684 laid 449 684 along, 451 684 horizontally, 455 684 just 457 684 beneath 461 684 the 463 684 upper 467 684 surface 469 684 of 473 684 his 479 684 head, 481 684 and 485 684 a 487 684 little 491 684 to 493 684 one 497 684 side; 499 684 this 503 684 curious 505 684 canal 509 684 is 511 684 very 515 684 much 517 684 like 521 684 a 523 684 gas-pipe 527 684 laid 529 684 down 533 684 in 535 684 a 539 684 city 541 684 on 545 684 one 547 684 side 553 684 of 557 684 a 559 684 street. 563 684 But 565 684 the 569 684 question 571 684 returns 575 684 whether 577 684 this 581 684 gas-pipe 583 684 is 587 684 also 593 684 a 595 684 water-pipe; 599 684 in 601 684 other 605 684 words, 607 684 whether 611 684 the 613 684 spout 617 684 of 619 684 the 623 684 Sperm 625 684 Whale 629 684 is 631 684 the 635 684 mere 637 684 vapour 641 684 of 643 684 the 647 684 exhaled 649 684 breath, 653 684 or 655 684 whether 659 684 that 661 684 exhaled 667 684 breath 671 684 is 673 684 mixed 677 684 with 679 684 water 683 684 taken 1 685 in 2 685 at 3 685 the 4 685 mouth, 6 685 and 7 685 discharged 8 685 through 9 685 the 11 685 spiracle. 12 685 It 13 685 is 14 685 certain 16 685 that 17 685 the 18 685 mouth 19 685 indirectly 21 685 communicates 22 685 with 23 685 the 24 685 spouting 26 685 canal; 27 685 but 28 685 it 29 685 cannot 31 685 be 32 685 proved 33 685 that 34 685 this 36 685 is 37 685 for 38 685 the 39 685 purpose 41 685 of 42 685 discharging 43 685 water 44 685 through 46 685 the 47 685 spiracle. 48 685 Because 49 685 the 51 685 greatest 52 685 necessity 53 685 for 54 685 so 56 685 doing 57 685 would 58 685 seem 59 685 to 61 685 be, 62 685 when 63 685 in 64 685 feeding 66 685 he 67 685 accidentally 68 685 takes 69 685 in 71 685 water. 72 685 But 73 685 the 74 685 Sperm 76 685 Whale's 77 685 food 78 685 is 79 685 far 81 685 beneath 82 685 the 83 685 surface, 84 685 and 86 685 there 87 685 he 88 685 cannot 89 685 spout 91 685 even 92 685 if 93 685 he 94 685 would. 96 685 Besides, 97 685 if 98 685 you 99 685 regard 101 685 him 102 685 very 103 685 closely, 104 685 and 106 685 time 107 685 him 108 685 with 109 685 your 111 685 watch, 112 685 you 113 685 will 114 685 find 116 685 that 117 685 when 118 685 unmolested, 119 685 there 121 685 is 122 685 an 123 685 undeviating 124 685 rhyme 126 685 between 127 685 the 128 685 periods 129 685 of 131 685 his 132 685 jets 133 685 and 134 685 the 136 685 ordinary 138 685 periods 139 685 of 141 685 respiration. 142 685 But 143 685 why 144 685 pester 146 685 one 147 685 with 148 685 all 149 685 this 151 685 reasoning 152 685 on 153 685 the 154 685 subject? 156 685 Speak 157 685 out! 158 685 You 159 685 have 161 685 seen 162 685 him 163 685 spout; 164 685 then 166 685 declare 167 685 what 168 685 the 169 685 spout 171 685 is; 172 685 can 173 685 you 174 685 not 176 685 tell 177 685 water 178 685 from 179 685 air? 181 685 My 182 685 dear 183 685 sir, 184 685 in 186 685 this 187 685 world 188 685 it 189 685 is 191 685 not 192 685 so 193 685 easy 194 685 to 196 685 settle 197 685 these 198 685 plain 199 685 things. 201 685 I 202 685 have 203 685 ever 204 685 found 206 685 your 207 685 plain 208 685 things 209 685 the 211 685 knottiest 212 685 of 213 685 all. 214 685 And 216 685 as 217 685 for 218 685 this 219 685 whale 221 685 spout, 222 685 you 223 685 might 224 685 almost 226 685 stand 227 685 in 228 685 it, 229 685 and 231 685 yet 232 685 be 233 685 undecided 234 685 as 236 685 to 237 685 what 238 685 it 239 685 is 241 685 precisely. 242 685 The 243 685 central 244 685 body 246 685 of 247 685 it 248 685 is 249 685 hidden 251 685 in 252 685 the 253 685 snowy 254 685 sparkling 256 685 mist 257 685 enveloping 258 685 it; 259 685 and 261 685 how 262 685 can 263 685 you 264 685 certainly 266 685 tell 267 685 whether 268 685 any 269 685 water 271 685 falls 272 685 from 273 685 it, 276 685 when, 277 685 always, 278 685 when 279 685 you 281 685 are 282 685 close 283 685 enough 284 685 to 286 685 a 287 685 whale 288 685 to 289 685 get 291 685 a 292 685 close 293 685 view 294 685 of 296 685 his 297 685 spout, 298 685 he 299 685 is 301 685 in 302 685 a 303 685 prodigious 304 685 commotion, 306 685 the 307 685 water 308 685 cascading 309 685 all 311 685 around 312 685 him. 313 685 And 314 685 if 316 685 at 317 685 such 318 685 times 319 685 you 321 685 should 322 685 think 323 685 that 324 685 you 326 685 really 327 685 perceived 328 685 drops 329 685 of 331 685 moisture 332 685 in 333 685 the 334 685 spout, 336 685 how 337 685 do 338 685 you 339 685 know 341 685 that 342 685 they 343 685 are 344 685 not 346 685 merely 347 685 condensed 348 685 from 349 685 its 351 685 vapour; 352 685 or 353 685 how 354 685 do 356 685 you 357 685 know 358 685 that 359 685 they 361 685 are 362 685 not 363 685 those 364 685 identical 366 685 drops 367 685 superficially 368 685 lodged 369 685 in 371 685 the 372 685 spout-hole 373 685 fissure, 374 685 which 376 685 is 377 685 countersunk 378 685 into 379 685 the 381 685 summit 382 685 of 383 685 the 384 685 whale's 386 685 head? 387 685 For 388 685 even 389 685 when 391 685 tranquilly 392 685 swimming 393 685 through 394 685 the 396 685 mid-day 397 685 sea 398 685 in 399 685 a 401 685 calm, 402 685 with 403 685 his 404 685 elevated 406 685 hump 407 685 sun-dried 408 685 as 409 685 a 412 685 dromedary's 413 685 in 414 685 the 416 685 desert; 417 685 even 418 685 then, 419 685 the 421 685 whale 422 685 always 423 685 carries 424 685 a 426 685 small 427 685 basin 428 685 of 429 685 water 431 685 on 432 685 his 433 685 head, 434 685 as 436 685 under 437 685 a 438 685 blazing 439 685 sun 441 685 you 442 685 will 443 685 sometimes 444 685 see 446 685 a 447 685 cavity 448 685 in 449 685 a 451 685 rock 452 685 filled 453 685 up 454 685 with 456 685 rain. 457 685 Nor 458 685 is 459 685 it 461 685 at 462 685 all 463 685 prudent 464 685 for 466 685 the 467 685 hunter 468 685 to 469 685 be 471 685 over 472 685 curious 473 685 touching 474 685 the 476 685 precise 477 685 nature 478 685 of 479 685 the 481 685 whale 482 685 spout. 483 685 It 484 685 will 486 685 not 487 685 do 488 685 for 489 685 him 491 685 to 492 685 be 493 685 peering 494 685 into 496 685 it, 497 685 and 498 685 putting 499 685 his 501 685 face 502 685 in 503 685 it. 504 685 You 506 685 cannot 507 685 go 508 685 with 509 685 your 511 685 pitcher 512 685 to 513 685 this 514 685 fountain 516 685 and 517 685 fill 518 685 it, 519 685 and 521 685 bring 522 685 it 523 685 away. 524 685 For 526 685 even 527 685 when 528 685 coming 529 685 into 531 685 slight 532 685 contact 533 685 with 534 685 the 536 685 outer, 537 685 vapoury 538 685 shreds 539 685 of 541 685 the 542 685 jet, 543 685 which 544 685 will 546 685 often 547 685 happen, 549 685 your 551 685 skin 552 685 will 553 685 feverishly 554 685 smart, 556 685 from 557 685 the 558 685 acridness 559 685 of 561 685 the 562 685 thing 563 685 so 564 685 touching 566 685 it. 567 685 And 568 685 I 569 685 know 571 685 one, 572 685 who 573 685 coming 574 685 into 576 685 still 577 685 closer 578 685 contact 579 685 with 581 685 the 582 685 spout, 583 685 whether 584 685 with 586 685 some 587 685 scientific 588 685 object 589 685 in 591 685 view, 592 685 or 593 685 otherwise, 594 685 I 596 685 cannot 597 685 say, 598 685 the 599 685 skin 601 685 peeled 602 685 off 603 685 from 604 685 his 606 685 cheek 607 685 and 608 685 arm. 609 685 Wherefore, 611 685 among 612 685 whalemen, 613 685 the 614 685 spout 616 685 is 617 685 deemed 618 685 poisonous; 619 685 they 621 685 try 622 685 to 623 685 evade 624 685 it. 626 685 Another 627 685 thing; 628 685 I 629 685 have 631 685 heard 632 685 it 633 685 said, 634 685 and 636 685 I 637 685 do 638 685 not 639 685 much 641 685 doubt 642 685 it, 643 685 that 644 685 if 646 685 the 647 685 jet 648 685 is 649 685 fairly 651 685 spouted 652 685 into 653 685 your 654 685 eyes, 656 685 it 657 685 will 658 685 blind 659 685 you. 661 685 The 662 685 wisest 663 685 thing 664 685 the 666 685 investigator 667 685 can 668 685 do 669 685 then, 671 685 it 672 685 seems 673 685 to 674 685 me, 676 685 is 677 685 to 678 685 let 679 685 this 681 685 deadly 682 685 spout 683 685 alone. 684 685 Still, 1 686 we 3 686 can 5 686 hypothesize, 9 686 even 11 686 if 13 686 we 15 686 cannot 17 686 prove 19 686 and 23 686 establish. 25 686 My 27 686 hypothesis 29 686 is 31 686 this: 33 686 that 37 686 the 39 686 spout 41 686 is 43 686 nothing 45 686 but 47 686 mist. 51 686 And 53 686 besides 55 686 other 57 686 reasons, 59 686 to 61 686 this 65 686 conclusion 67 686 I 69 686 am 71 686 impelled, 73 686 by 75 686 considerations 79 686 touching 81 686 the 83 686 great 85 686 inherent 87 686 dignity 89 686 and 93 686 sublimity 95 686 of 97 686 the 99 686 Sperm 101 686 Whale; 103 686 I 107 686 account 109 686 him 111 686 no 113 686 common, 115 686 shallow 117 686 being, 121 686 inasmuch 123 686 as 125 686 it 127 686 is 129 686 an 131 686 undisputed 135 686 fact 137 686 that 139 686 he 141 686 is 143 686 never 145 686 found 149 686 on 151 686 soundings, 153 686 or 155 686 near 157 686 shores; 159 686 all 163 686 other 165 686 whales 167 686 sometimes 169 686 are. 171 686 He 173 686 is 177 686 both 179 686 ponderous 181 686 and 183 686 profound. 185 686 And 187 686 I 191 686 am 193 686 convinced 195 686 that 197 686 from 199 686 the 201 686 heads 205 686 of 207 686 all 209 686 ponderous 211 686 profound 213 686 beings, 215 686 such 219 686 as 221 686 Plato, 223 686 Pyrrho, 225 686 the 227 686 Devil, 229 686 Jupiter, 233 686 Dante, 235 686 and 237 686 so 239 686 on, 241 686 there 243 686 always 247 686 goes 249 686 up 251 686 a 253 686 certain 255 686 semi-visible 257 686 steam, 261 686 while 263 686 in 265 686 the 267 686 act 269 686 of 271 686 thinking 275 686 deep 277 686 thoughts. 279 686 While 281 686 composing 283 686 a 285 686 little 289 686 treatise 291 686 on 293 686 Eternity, 295 686 I 297 686 had 299 686 the 303 686 curiosity 305 686 to 307 686 place 309 686 a 311 686 mirror 313 686 before 317 686 me; 319 686 and 321 686 ere 323 686 long 325 686 saw 327 686 reflected 331 686 there, 333 686 a 335 686 curious 337 686 involved 339 686 worming 341 686 and 345 686 undulation 347 686 in 349 686 the 351 686 atmosphere 353 686 over 355 686 my 359 686 head. 361 686 The 363 686 invariable 365 686 moisture 367 686 of 369 686 my 373 686 hair, 375 686 while 377 686 plunged 379 686 in 381 686 deep 383 686 thought, 387 686 after 389 686 six 391 686 cups 393 686 of 395 686 hot 397 686 tea 401 686 in 403 686 my 405 686 thin 407 686 shingled 409 686 attic, 411 686 of 415 686 an 417 686 August 419 686 noon; 421 686 this 423 686 seems 425 686 an 429 686 additional 431 686 argument 433 686 for 435 686 the 437 686 above 439 686 supposition. 443 686 And 445 686 how 447 686 nobly 449 686 it 451 686 raises 453 686 our 457 686 conceit 459 686 of 461 686 the 463 686 mighty, 465 686 misty 467 686 monster, 471 686 to 473 686 behold 475 686 him 477 686 solemnly 479 686 sailing 481 686 through 485 686 a 487 686 calm 489 686 tropical 491 686 sea; 493 686 his 495 686 vast, 499 686 mild 501 686 head 503 686 overhung 505 686 by 507 686 a 509 686 canopy 513 686 of 515 686 vapour, 517 686 engendered 519 686 by 521 686 his 523 686 incommunicable 527 686 contemplations, 529 686 and 531 686 that 533 686 vapour--as 535 686 you 537 686 will 541 686 sometimes 543 686 see 545 686 it--glorified 547 686 by 549 686 a 551 686 rainbow, 555 686 as 557 686 if 559 686 Heaven 561 686 itself 563 686 had 565 686 put 569 686 its 571 686 seal 573 686 upon 575 686 his 577 686 thoughts. 579 686 For, 583 686 d'ye 585 686 see, 587 686 rainbows 589 686 do 591 686 not 593 686 visit 597 686 the 599 686 clear 601 686 air; 603 686 they 605 686 only 607 686 irradiate 611 686 vapour. 613 686 And 615 686 so, 617 686 through 619 686 all 621 686 the 625 686 thick 627 686 mists 629 686 of 631 686 the 633 686 dim 635 686 doubts 639 686 in 641 686 my 643 686 mind, 645 686 divine 647 686 intuitions 649 686 now 653 686 and 655 686 then 657 686 shoot, 659 686 enkindling 661 686 my 663 686 fog 667 686 with 669 686 a 671 686 heavenly 673 686 ray. 675 686 And 677 686 for 681 686 this 683 686 I 685 686 thank 1 687 God; 2 687 for 4 687 all 5 687 have 7 687 doubts; 8 687 many 10 687 deny; 11 687 but 13 687 doubts 14 687 or 16 687 denials, 17 687 few 19 687 along 20 687 with 22 687 them, 23 687 have 25 687 intuitions. 26 687 Doubts 28 687 of 29 687 all 31 687 things 32 687 earthly, 34 687 and 35 687 intuitions 37 687 of 38 687 some 40 687 things 41 687 heavenly; 43 687 this 44 687 combination 46 687 makes 47 687 neither 49 687 believer 50 687 nor 52 687 infidel, 53 687 but 55 687 makes 56 687 a 58 687 man 59 687 who 61 687 regards 62 687 them 64 687 both 65 687 with 67 687 equal 68 687 eye. 70 687 CHAPTER 71 687 86 73 687 The 74 687 Tail. 76 687 Other 77 687 poets 79 687 have 80 687 warbled 82 687 the 83 687 praises 85 687 of 86 687 the 88 687 soft 89 687 eye 91 687 of 92 687 the 94 687 antelope, 95 687 and 97 687 the 98 687 lovely 100 687 plumage 101 687 of 103 687 the 104 687 bird 106 687 that 107 687 never 109 687 alights; 110 687 less 112 687 celestial, 113 687 I 115 687 celebrate 116 687 a 118 687 tail. 119 687 Reckoning 121 687 the 122 687 largest 124 687 sized 125 687 Sperm 127 687 Whale's 128 687 tail 130 687 to 131 687 begin 133 687 at 134 687 that 136 687 point 137 687 of 139 687 the 140 687 trunk 142 687 where 143 687 it 145 687 tapers 146 687 to 148 687 about 149 687 the 151 687 girth 152 687 of 154 687 a 155 687 man, 157 687 it 158 687 comprises 160 687 upon 161 687 its 163 687 upper 164 687 surface 166 687 alone, 167 687 an 169 687 area 170 687 of 172 687 at 173 687 least 175 687 fifty 176 687 square 178 687 feet. 179 687 The 181 687 compact 182 687 round 184 687 body 185 687 of 187 687 its 188 687 root 190 687 expands 191 687 into 193 687 two 194 687 broad, 196 687 firm, 197 687 flat 199 687 palms 200 687 or 202 687 flukes, 203 687 gradually 205 687 shoaling 206 687 away 208 687 to 209 687 less 211 687 than 212 687 an 214 687 inch 215 687 in 217 687 thickness. 218 687 At 220 687 the 221 687 crotch 223 687 or 224 687 junction, 226 687 these 227 687 flukes 230 687 slightly 232 687 overlap, 233 687 then 235 687 sideways 236 687 recede 238 687 from 239 687 each 241 687 other 242 687 like 244 687 wings, 245 687 leaving 247 687 a 248 687 wide 250 687 vacancy 251 687 between. 253 687 In 254 687 no 256 687 living 257 687 thing 259 687 are 260 687 the 262 687 lines 263 687 of 265 687 beauty 266 687 more 268 687 exquisitely 269 687 defined 271 687 than 272 687 in 274 687 the 275 687 crescentic 277 687 borders 278 687 of 280 687 these 281 687 flukes. 283 687 At 284 687 its 286 687 utmost 287 687 expansion 289 687 in 290 687 the 292 687 full 293 687 grown 295 687 whale, 296 687 the 298 687 tail 299 687 will 301 687 considerably 302 687 exceed 304 687 twenty 305 687 feet 307 687 across. 308 687 The 310 687 entire 311 687 member 313 687 seems 314 687 a 316 687 dense 317 687 webbed 319 687 bed 320 687 of 322 687 welded 323 687 sinews; 325 687 but 326 687 cut 328 687 into 329 687 it, 331 687 and 332 687 you 334 687 find 335 687 that 337 687 three 338 687 distinct 340 687 strata 341 687 compose 343 687 it:--upper, 344 687 middle, 346 687 and 347 687 lower. 349 687 The 350 687 fibres 352 687 in 353 687 the 355 687 upper 356 687 and 358 687 lower 359 687 layers, 361 687 are 362 687 long 364 687 and 365 687 horizontal; 367 687 those 368 687 of 370 687 the 371 687 middle 373 687 one, 374 687 very 376 687 short, 377 687 and 379 687 running 380 687 crosswise 382 687 between 383 687 the 385 687 outside 386 687 layers. 388 687 This 389 687 triune 391 687 structure, 392 687 as 394 687 much 395 687 as 397 687 anything 398 687 else, 400 687 imparts 401 687 power 403 687 to 404 687 the 406 687 tail. 407 687 To 409 687 the 410 687 student 412 687 of 413 687 old 415 687 Roman 416 687 walls, 418 687 the 419 687 middle 421 687 layer 422 687 will 424 687 furnish 425 687 a 427 687 curious 428 687 parallel 430 687 to 431 687 the 433 687 thin 434 687 course 436 687 of 437 687 tiles 439 687 always 440 687 alternating 442 687 with 443 687 the 445 687 stone 446 687 in 448 687 those 449 687 wonderful 451 687 relics 452 687 of 454 687 the 455 687 antique, 457 687 and 460 687 which 461 687 undoubtedly 463 687 contribute 464 687 so 466 687 much 467 687 to 469 687 the 470 687 great 472 687 strength 473 687 of 475 687 the 476 687 masonry. 478 687 But 479 687 as 481 687 if 482 687 this 484 687 vast 485 687 local 487 687 power 488 687 in 490 687 the 491 687 tendinous 493 687 tail 494 687 were 496 687 not 497 687 enough, 499 687 the 500 687 whole 502 687 bulk 503 687 of 505 687 the 506 687 leviathan 508 687 is 509 687 knit 511 687 over 512 687 with 514 687 a 515 687 warp 517 687 and 518 687 woof 520 687 of 521 687 muscular 523 687 fibres 524 687 and 526 687 filaments, 527 687 which 529 687 passing 530 687 on 532 687 either 533 687 side 535 687 the 536 687 loins 538 687 and 539 687 running 541 687 down 542 687 into 544 687 the 545 687 flukes, 547 687 insensibly 548 687 blend 550 687 with 551 687 them, 553 687 and 554 687 largely 556 687 contribute 557 687 to 559 687 their 560 687 might; 562 687 so 563 687 that 565 687 in 566 687 the 568 687 tail 569 687 the 571 687 confluent 572 687 measureless 574 687 force 575 687 of 577 687 the 578 687 whole 580 687 whale 581 687 seems 583 687 concentrated 584 687 to 586 687 a 587 687 point. 589 687 Could 590 687 annihilation 592 687 occur 593 687 to 595 687 matter, 596 687 this 598 687 were 599 687 the 601 687 thing 602 687 to 604 687 do 605 687 it. 607 687 Nor 608 687 does 610 687 this--its 611 687 amazing 613 687 strength, 614 687 at 616 687 all 617 687 tend 619 687 to 620 687 cripple 622 687 the 623 687 graceful 625 687 flexion 626 687 of 628 687 its 629 687 motions; 631 687 where 632 687 infantileness 634 687 of 635 687 ease 637 687 undulates 638 687 through 640 687 a 641 687 Titanism 643 687 of 644 687 power. 646 687 On 647 687 the 649 687 contrary, 650 687 those 652 687 motions 653 687 derive 655 687 their 656 687 most 658 687 appalling 659 687 beauty 661 687 from 662 687 it. 664 687 Real 665 687 strength 667 687 never 668 687 impairs 670 687 beauty 671 687 or 673 687 harmony, 674 687 but 676 687 it 677 687 often 679 687 bestows 680 687 it; 682 687 and 683 687 in 685 687 everything 686 687 imposingly 1 688 beautiful, 3 688 strength 5 688 has 7 688 much 9 688 to 11 688 do 13 688 with 15 688 the 17 688 magic. 19 688 Take 21 688 away 23 688 the 25 688 tied 27 688 tendons 29 688 that 31 688 all 33 688 over 35 688 seem 37 688 bursting 39 688 from 41 688 the 45 688 marble 47 688 in 49 688 the 51 688 carved 53 688 Hercules, 55 688 and 57 688 its 59 688 charm 61 688 would 63 688 be 65 688 gone. 67 688 As 69 688 devout 71 688 Eckerman 73 688 lifted 75 688 the 77 688 linen 79 688 sheet 81 688 from 83 688 the 85 688 naked 87 688 corpse 89 688 of 91 688 Goethe, 93 688 he 95 688 was 97 688 overwhelmed 99 688 with 101 688 the 103 688 massive 105 688 chest 107 688 of 109 688 the 111 688 man, 113 688 that 115 688 seemed 117 688 as 119 688 a 121 688 Roman 123 688 triumphal 125 688 arch. 127 688 When 131 688 Angelo 133 688 paints 135 688 even 137 688 God 139 688 the 141 688 Father 143 688 in 145 688 human 147 688 form, 149 688 mark 151 688 what 153 688 robustness 155 688 is 157 688 there. 159 688 And 161 688 whatever 163 688 they 165 688 may 167 688 reveal 169 688 of 171 688 the 173 688 divine 175 688 love 177 688 in 179 688 the 181 688 Son, 183 688 the 185 688 soft, 187 688 curled, 189 688 hermaphroditical 191 688 Italian 193 688 pictures, 195 688 in 197 688 which 199 688 his 201 688 idea 203 688 has 205 688 been 207 688 most 209 688 successfully 211 688 embodied; 213 688 these 217 688 pictures, 219 688 so 221 688 destitute 223 688 as 225 688 they 227 688 are 229 688 of 231 688 all 233 688 brawniness, 235 688 hint 237 688 nothing 239 688 of 241 688 any 243 688 power, 245 688 but 247 688 the 249 688 mere 251 688 negative, 253 688 feminine 255 688 one 257 688 of 259 688 submission 261 688 and 263 688 endurance, 265 688 which 267 688 on 269 688 all 271 688 hands 273 688 it 275 688 is 277 688 conceded, 279 688 form 281 688 the 283 688 peculiar 285 688 practical 287 688 virtues 289 688 of 291 688 his 293 688 teachings. 295 688 Such 297 688 is 299 688 the 303 688 subtle 305 688 elasticity 307 688 of 309 688 the 311 688 organ 313 688 I 315 688 treat 317 688 of, 319 688 that 321 688 whether 323 688 wielded 325 688 in 327 688 sport, 329 688 or 331 688 in 333 688 earnest, 335 688 or 337 688 in 339 688 anger, 341 688 whatever 343 688 be 345 688 the 347 688 mood 349 688 it 351 688 be 353 688 in, 355 688 its 357 688 flexions 359 688 are 361 688 invariably 363 688 marked 365 688 by 367 688 exceeding 369 688 grace. 371 688 Therein 373 688 no 375 688 fairy's 377 688 arm 379 688 can 381 688 transcend 383 688 it. 385 688 Five 389 688 great 391 688 motions 393 688 are 395 688 peculiar 397 688 to 399 688 it. 401 688 First, 403 688 when 405 688 used 407 688 as 409 688 a 411 688 fin 413 688 for 415 688 progression; 417 688 Second, 419 688 when 421 688 used 423 688 as 425 688 a 427 688 mace 429 688 in 431 688 battle; 433 688 Third, 435 688 in 437 688 sweeping; 439 688 Fourth, 441 688 in 443 688 lobtailing; 445 688 Fifth, 447 688 in 449 688 peaking 451 688 flukes. 453 688 First: 455 688 Being 457 688 horizontal 459 688 in 461 688 its 463 688 position, 465 688 the 467 688 Leviathan's 469 688 tail 471 688 acts 475 688 in 477 688 a 479 688 different 481 688 manner 483 688 from 485 688 the 487 688 tails 489 688 of 491 688 all 493 688 other 495 688 sea 497 688 creatures. 499 688 It 501 688 never 503 688 wriggles. 505 688 In 507 688 man 509 688 or 511 688 fish, 513 688 wriggling 515 688 is 517 688 a 519 688 sign 521 688 of 523 688 inferiority. 525 688 To 527 688 the 529 688 whale, 531 688 his 533 688 tail 535 688 is 537 688 the 539 688 sole 541 688 means 543 688 of 545 688 propulsion. 547 688 Scroll-wise 549 688 coiled 551 688 forwards 553 688 beneath 555 688 the 557 688 body, 561 688 and 563 688 then 565 688 rapidly 567 688 sprung 569 688 backwards, 571 688 it 573 688 is 575 688 this 577 688 which 579 688 gives 581 688 that 583 688 singular 585 688 darting, 587 688 leaping 589 688 motion 591 688 to 593 688 the 595 688 monster 597 688 when 599 688 furiously 601 688 swimming. 603 688 His 605 688 side-fins 607 688 only 609 688 serve 611 688 to 613 688 steer 615 688 by. 617 688 Second: 619 688 It 621 688 is 623 688 a 625 688 little 627 688 significant, 629 688 that 631 688 while 633 688 one 635 688 sperm 637 688 whale 639 688 only 641 688 fights 643 688 another 647 688 sperm 649 688 whale 651 688 with 653 688 his 655 688 head 657 688 and 659 688 jaw, 661 688 nevertheless, 663 688 in 665 688 his 667 688 conflicts 669 688 with 671 688 man, 673 688 he 675 688 chiefly 677 688 and 679 688 contemptuously 681 688 uses 683 688 his 685 688 tail. 687 688 In 1 689 striking 2 689 at 3 689 a 4 689 boat, 5 689 he 6 689 swiftly 7 689 curves 8 689 away 9 689 his 10 689 flukes 11 689 from 12 689 it, 14 689 and 15 689 the 16 689 blow 17 689 is 18 689 only 19 689 inflicted 20 689 by 21 689 the 22 689 recoil. 23 689 If 24 689 it 25 689 be 27 689 made 28 689 in 29 689 the 30 689 unobstructed 31 689 air, 32 689 especially 33 689 if 34 689 it 35 689 descend 36 689 to 37 689 its 38 689 mark, 40 689 the 41 689 stroke 42 689 is 43 689 then 44 689 simply 45 689 irresistible. 46 689 No 47 689 ribs 48 689 of 49 689 man 50 689 or 51 689 boat 54 689 can 55 689 withstand 56 689 it. 57 689 Your 58 689 only 59 689 salvation 60 689 lies 61 689 in 62 689 eluding 63 689 it; 64 689 but 66 689 if 67 689 it 68 689 comes 69 689 sideways 70 689 through 71 689 the 72 689 opposing 73 689 water, 74 689 then 75 689 partly 76 689 owing 77 689 to 79 689 the 80 689 light 81 689 buoyancy 82 689 of 83 689 the 84 689 whale 85 689 boat, 86 689 and 87 689 the 88 689 elasticity 89 689 of 90 689 its 92 689 materials, 93 689 a 94 689 cracked 95 689 rib 96 689 or 97 689 a 98 689 dashed 99 689 plank 100 689 or 101 689 two, 102 689 a 103 689 sort 105 689 of 107 689 stitch 108 689 in 109 689 the 110 689 side, 111 689 is 112 689 generally 113 689 the 114 689 most 115 689 serious 116 689 result. 118 689 These 119 689 submerged 120 689 side 121 689 blows 122 689 are 123 689 so 124 689 often 125 689 received 126 689 in 127 689 the 128 689 fishery, 129 689 that 131 689 they 132 689 are 133 689 accounted 134 689 mere 135 689 child's 136 689 play. 137 689 Some 138 689 one 139 689 strips 140 689 off 141 689 a 142 689 frock, 144 689 and 145 689 the 146 689 hole 147 689 is 148 689 stopped. 149 689 Third: 150 689 I 151 689 cannot 152 689 demonstrate 153 689 it, 154 689 but 155 689 it 157 689 seems 158 689 to 160 689 me, 161 689 that 162 689 in 163 689 the 164 689 whale 165 689 the 166 689 sense 167 689 of 168 689 touch 170 689 is 171 689 concentrated 172 689 in 173 689 the 174 689 tail; 175 689 for 176 689 in 177 689 this 178 689 respect 179 689 there 180 689 is 181 689 a 183 689 delicacy 184 689 in 185 689 it 186 689 only 187 689 equalled 188 689 by 189 689 the 190 689 daintiness 191 689 of 192 689 the 193 689 elephant's 194 689 trunk. 196 689 This 197 689 delicacy 198 689 is 199 689 chiefly 200 689 evinced 201 689 in 202 689 the 203 689 action 204 689 of 205 689 sweeping, 206 689 when 207 689 in 209 689 maidenly 210 689 gentleness 211 689 the 213 689 whale 214 689 with 215 689 a 216 689 certain 217 689 soft 218 689 slowness 219 689 moves 220 689 his 222 689 immense 223 689 flukes 224 689 from 225 689 side 226 689 to 227 689 side 228 689 upon 229 689 the 230 689 surface 231 689 of 232 689 the 233 689 sea; 235 689 and 236 689 if 237 689 he 238 689 feel 239 689 but 240 689 a 241 689 sailor's 242 689 whisker, 243 689 woe 244 689 to 245 689 that 246 689 sailor, 248 689 whiskers 249 689 and 250 689 all. 251 689 What 252 689 tenderness 253 689 there 254 689 is 255 689 in 256 689 that 257 689 preliminary 258 689 touch! 259 689 Had 261 689 this 262 689 tail 263 689 any 264 689 prehensile 266 689 power, 267 689 I 268 689 should 269 689 straightway 270 689 bethink 271 689 me 272 689 of 274 689 Darmonodes' 275 689 elephant 276 689 that 277 689 so 278 689 frequented 279 689 the 280 689 flower-market, 281 689 and 282 689 with 283 689 low 284 689 salutations 285 689 presented 287 689 nosegays 288 689 to 289 689 damsels, 290 689 and 291 689 then 292 689 caressed 293 689 their 294 689 zones. 295 689 On 296 689 more 297 689 accounts 298 689 than 300 689 one, 301 689 a 302 689 pity 303 689 it 304 689 is 305 689 that 306 689 the 307 689 whale 308 689 does 309 689 not 310 689 possess 311 689 this 313 689 prehensile 314 689 virtue 315 689 in 316 689 his 317 689 tail; 319 689 for 320 689 I 321 689 have 322 689 heard 323 689 of 324 689 yet 326 689 another 327 689 elephant, 328 689 that 329 689 when 330 689 wounded 331 689 in 332 689 the 333 689 fight, 334 689 curved 335 689 round 336 689 his 337 689 trunk 339 689 and 340 689 extracted 341 689 the 342 689 dart. 343 689 Fourth: 344 689 Stealing 345 689 unawares 346 689 upon 347 689 the 348 689 whale 349 689 in 350 689 the 352 689 fancied 353 689 security 354 689 of 355 689 the 356 689 middle 357 689 of 358 689 solitary 359 689 seas, 360 689 you 361 689 find 362 689 him 363 689 unbent 365 689 from 366 689 the 367 689 vast 368 689 corpulence 369 689 of 370 689 his 372 689 dignity, 373 689 and 374 689 kitten-like, 375 689 he 376 689 plays 378 689 on 379 689 the 380 689 ocean 381 689 as 382 689 if 383 689 it 384 689 were 385 689 a 386 689 hearth. 387 689 But 388 689 still 389 689 you 391 689 see 392 689 his 393 689 power 394 689 in 395 689 his 396 689 play. 397 689 The 398 689 broad 399 689 palms 400 689 of 401 689 his 402 689 tail 404 689 are 405 689 flirted 406 689 high 407 689 into 408 689 the 409 689 air; 410 689 then 411 689 smiting 412 689 the 413 689 surface, 414 689 the 415 689 thunderous 417 689 concussion 418 689 resounds 419 689 for 420 689 miles. 421 689 You 422 689 would 423 689 almost 425 689 think 426 689 a 427 689 great 428 689 gun 430 689 had 431 689 been 432 689 discharged; 433 689 and 434 689 if 435 689 you 436 689 noticed 437 689 the 438 689 light 439 689 wreath 440 689 of 441 689 vapour 443 689 from 444 689 the 445 689 spiracle 446 689 at 447 689 his 448 689 other 449 689 extremity, 450 689 you 451 689 would 452 689 think 453 689 that 454 689 that 456 689 was 457 689 the 458 689 smoke 459 689 from 460 689 the 461 689 touch-hole. 462 689 Fifth: 463 689 As 464 689 in 465 689 the 466 689 ordinary 467 689 floating 469 689 posture 470 689 of 471 689 the 472 689 leviathan 473 689 the 474 689 flukes 475 689 lie 476 689 considerably 478 689 below 479 689 the 480 689 level 482 689 of 483 689 his 484 689 back, 485 689 they 486 689 are 487 689 then 488 689 completely 489 689 out 490 689 of 491 689 sight 492 689 beneath 493 689 the 495 689 surface; 496 689 but 497 689 when 498 689 he 499 689 is 500 689 about 501 689 to 502 689 plunge 503 689 into 504 689 the 505 689 deeps, 506 689 his 508 689 entire 509 689 flukes 510 689 with 511 689 at 512 689 least 513 689 thirty 514 689 feet 515 689 of 516 689 his 517 689 body 518 689 are 519 689 tossed 521 689 erect 522 689 in 523 689 the 524 689 air, 525 689 and 526 689 so 527 689 remain 528 689 vibrating 529 689 a 531 689 moment, 532 689 till 534 689 they 535 689 downwards 536 689 shoot 537 689 out 538 689 of 539 689 view. 540 689 Excepting 541 689 the 542 689 sublime 543 689 BREACH--somewhere 544 689 else 545 689 to 547 689 be 548 689 described--this 549 689 peaking 550 689 of 551 689 the 552 689 whale's 553 689 flukes 554 689 is 555 689 perhaps 556 689 the 557 689 grandest 558 689 sight 560 689 to 561 689 be 562 689 seen 563 689 in 564 689 all 565 689 animated 566 689 nature. 567 689 Out 568 689 of 569 689 the 570 689 bottomless 571 689 profundities 573 689 the 574 689 gigantic 575 689 tail 576 689 seems 577 689 spasmodically 578 689 snatching 579 689 at 580 689 the 581 689 highest 582 689 heaven. 584 689 So 586 689 in 587 689 dreams, 588 689 have 589 689 I 590 689 seen 591 689 majestic 592 689 Satan 593 689 thrusting 594 689 forth 595 689 his 596 689 tormented 597 689 colossal 599 689 claw 600 689 from 601 689 the 602 689 flame 603 689 Baltic 604 689 of 605 689 Hell. 606 689 But 607 689 in 608 689 gazing 609 689 at 610 689 such 612 689 scenes, 613 689 it 614 689 is 615 689 all 616 689 in 617 689 all 618 689 what 619 689 mood 620 689 you 621 689 are 622 689 in; 623 689 if 625 689 in 626 689 the 627 689 Dantean, 628 689 the 629 689 devils 630 689 will 631 689 occur 632 689 to 633 689 you; 634 689 if 635 689 in 638 689 that 639 689 of 640 689 Isaiah, 641 689 the 642 689 archangels. 643 689 Standing 644 689 at 645 689 the 646 689 mast-head 647 689 of 648 689 my 649 689 ship 651 689 during 652 689 a 653 689 sunrise 654 689 that 655 689 crimsoned 656 689 sky 657 689 and 658 689 sea, 659 689 I 660 689 once 661 689 saw 662 689 a 664 689 large 665 689 herd 666 689 of 667 689 whales 668 689 in 669 689 the 670 689 east, 671 689 all 672 689 heading 673 689 towards 674 689 the 675 689 sun, 677 689 and 678 689 for 679 689 a 680 689 moment 681 689 vibrating 682 689 in 683 689 concert 684 689 with 685 689 peaked 686 689 flukes. 687 689 As 688 689 it 1 690 seemed 7 690 to 11 690 me 13 690 at 17 690 the 19 690 time, 29 690 such 31 690 a 37 690 grand 41 690 embodiment 43 690 of 47 690 adoration 49 690 of 53 690 the 59 690 gods 61 690 was 67 690 never 71 690 beheld, 73 690 even 77 690 in

in 36 691 the 37 691 way 38 691 of 39 691 general 40 691 bulk 41 691 between 42 691 the 43 691 whale 44 691 and 45 691 the 46 691 elephant 47 691 is 48 691 preposterous, 49 691 inasmuch 50 691 as 51 691 in 52 691 that 53 691 particular 54 691 the 55 691 elephant 56 691 stands 57 691 in 58 691 much 59 691 the 60 691 same 61 691 respect 62 691 to 63 691 the 64 691 whale 65 691 that 66 691 a 67 691 dog 68 691 does 69 691 to 70 691 the 71 691 elephant; 72 691 nevertheless, 73 691 there 74 691 are 75 691 not 76 691 wanting 77 691 some 78 691 points 79 691 of 80 691 curious 81 691 similitude; 82 691 among 83 691 these 84 691 is 85 691 the 86 691 spout. 87 691 It 88 691 is 89 691 well 90 691 known 91 691 that 92 691 the 93 691 elephant 94 691 will 95 691 often 96 691 draw 97 691 up 98 691 water 99 691 or 100 691 dust 101 691 in 102 691 his 103 691 trunk, 104 691 and 105 691 then 106 691 elevating 107 691 it, 108 691 jet 109 691 it 110 691 forth 111 691 in 112 691 a 113 691 stream. 114 691 The 115 691 more 116 691 I 117 691 consider 118 691 this 119 691 mighty 120 691 tail, 121 691 the 122 691 more 123 691 do 124 691 I 125 691 deplore 126 691 my 127 691 inability 128 691 to 129 691 express 130 691 it. 131 691 At 132 691 times 133 691 there 134 691 are 135 691 gestures 136 691 in 137 691 it, 138 691 which, 139 691 though 140 691 they 141 691 would 142 691 well 143 691 grace 144 691 the 145 691 hand 146 691 of 147 691 man, 148 691 remain 149 691 wholly 150 691 inexplicable. 151 691 In 152 691 an 153 691 extensive 154 691 herd, 155 691 so 156 691 remarkable, 157 691 occasionally, 158 691 are 159 691 these 160 691 mystic 161 691 gestures, 162 691 that 163 691 I 164 691 have 165 691 heard 166 691 hunters 167 691 who 168 691 have 169 691 declared 170 691 them 171 691 akin 172 691 to 173 691 Free-Mason 174 691 signs 175 691 and 176 691 symbols; 177 691 that 178 691 the 179 691 whale, 180 691 indeed, 181 691 by 182 691 these 183 691 methods 184 691 intelligently 185 691 conversed 186 691 with 187 691 the 188 691 world. 189 691 Nor 190 691 are 191 691 there 192 691 wanting 193 691 other 194 691 motions 195 691 of 196 691 the 197 691 whale 198 691 in 199 691 his 200 691 general 201 691 body, 202 691 full 203 691 of 204 691 strangeness, 205 691 and 206 691 unaccountable 207 691 to 208 691 his 209 691 most 210 691 experienced 211 691 assailant. 212 691 Dissect 213 691 him 214 691 how 215 691 I 216 691 may, 217 691 then, 218 691 I 219 691 but 220 691 go 221 691 skin 222 691 deep; 223 691 I 224 691 know 225 691 him 226 691 not, 227 691 and 228 691 never 229 691 will. 230 691 But 231 691 if 232 691 I 233 691 know 234 691 not 235 691 even 236 691 the 237 691 tail 238 691 of 239 691 this 240 691 whale, 241 691 how 242 691 understand 243 691 his 244 691 head? 245 691 much 246 691 more, 247 691 how 248 691 comprehend 249 691 his 250 691 face, 251 691 when 252 691 face 253 691 he 254 691 has 255 691 none? 256 691 Thou 257 691 shalt 258 691 see 259 691 my 260 691 back 261 691 parts, 262 691 my 263 691 tail, 264 691 he 265 691 seems 266 691 to 267 691 say, 268 691 but 269 691 my 270 691 face 271 691 shall 272 691 not 273 691 be 274 691 seen. 275 691 But 276 691 I 277 691 cannot 278 691 completely 279 691 make 280 691 out 281 691 his 282 691 back 283 691 parts; 284 691 and 285 691 hint 286 691 what 287 691 he 288 691 will 289 691 about 290 691 his 291 691 face, 292 691 I 293 691 say 294 691 again 295 691 he 296 691 has 297 691 no 298 691 face. 299 691 CHAPTER 300 691 87 301 691 The 302 691 Grand 303 691 Armada. 304 691 The 305 691 long

319 691 the 320 691 most 321 691 southerly 322 691 point 323 691 of 324 691 all 325 691 Asia. 326 691 In 327 691 a 328 691 continuous 329 691 line 330 691 from 331 691 that 332 691 peninsula 333 691 stretch 334 691 the 335 691 long 336 691 islands 337 691 of 338 691 Sumatra, 339 691 Java, 340 691 Bally, 341 691 and 342 691 Timor; 343 691 which, 344 691 with 345 691 many 346 691 others, 347 691 form 348 691 a 349 691 vast 350 691 mole, 351 691 or 352 691 rampart, 353 691 lengthwise 354 691 connecting 355 691 Asia 356 691 with 357 691 Australia, 358 691 and 359 691 dividing 360 691 the 361 691 long 362 691 unbroken 363 691 Indian 364 691 ocean 365 691 from 366 691 the 367 691 thickly 368 691 studded 369 691 oriental 370 691 archipelagoes. 371 691 This 372 691 rampart 373 691 is 374 691 pierced 375 691 by 376 691 several 377 691 sally-ports 378 691 for 379 691 the 380 691 convenience 381 691 of 382 691 ships 383 691 and 384 691 whales; 385 691 conspicuous 386 691 among 387 691 which 388 691 are 389 691 the 390 691 straits 391 691 of 392 691 Sunda 393 691 and 394 691 Malacca. 395 691 By 396 691 the 397 691 straits 398 691 of 399 691 Sunda, 400 691 chiefly, 401 691 vessels 402 691

691 Sunda 418 691 divide 419 691 Sumatra 420 691 from 421 691 Java; 422 691 and 423 691 standing 424 691 midway 425 691 in 426 691 that 427 691 vast 428 691 rampart 429 691 of 430 691 islands, 431 691 buttressed 432 691 by 433 691 that 434 691 bold 435 691 green 436 691 promontory, 437 691 known 438 691 to 439 691 seamen 440 691 as 441 691 Java 442 691 Head; 443 691 they 444 691 not 445 691 a 446 691 little 447 691 correspond 448 691 to 449 691 the 450 691 central 451 691 gateway 452 691 opening 453 691 into 454 691 some 455 691 vast 456 691 walled 457 691 empire: 458 691 and 459 691 considering 460 691 the 461 691 inexhaustible 462 691 wealth 463 691 of 464 691 spices, 465 691 and 466 691 silks, 467 691 and 468 691 jewels, 469 691 and 470 691 gold, 471 691 and 472 691 ivory, 473 691 with 474 691 which 475 691 the 476 691 thousand 477 691 islands 478 691 of 479 691 that 480 691 oriental 481 691 sea 482 691 are 483 691 enriched, 484 691 it 485 691 seems 486 691 a 487 691 significant 488 691 provision 489 691 of 490 691 nature, 491 691 that 492 691 such 493 691 treasures, 494 691 by 495 691 the 496 691 very 497 691 formation 498 691 of 499 691 the 500 691 land, 501 691 should 502 691 at 503 691 least 504 691 bear 505 691 the 506 691 appearance, 507 691 however 508 691 ineffectual, 509 691 of 510 691 being 511 691 guarded 512 691 from 513 691 the 514 691 all-grasping 515 691 western 516 691 world. 517 691 The 518 691 shores 519 691 of 520 691 the 521 691 Straits 522 691 of 523 691 Sunda 524 691 are 525 691 unsupplied 526 691 with 527 691 those 528 691 domineering 529 691 fortresses 530 691 which 531 691 guard 532 691 the 533 691 entrances 534 691 to 535 691 the 536 691 Mediterranean, 537 691 the 538 691 Baltic, 539 691 and 540 691 the 541 691 Propontis. 542 691 Unlike 543 691 the 544 691 Danes, 545 691 these 546 691 Orientals 547 691 do 548 691 not 549 691 demand 550 691 the 551 691 obsequious 552 691 homage 553 691 of 554 691 lowered 555 691 top-sails 556 691 from 557 691 the 558 691 endless 559 691 procession 560 691 of 561 691 ships 562 691 before 563 691 the 564 691 wind, 565 691 which 566 691 for 567 691 centuries 568 691 past, 569 691 by 570 691 night 571 691 and 572 691 by 573 691 day, 574 691 have 575 691 passed 576 691 between 577 691 the 578 691 islands 579 691 of 580 691 Sumatra 581 691 and 582 691 Java, 583 691 freighted 584 691 with 585 691 the 586 691 costliest 587 691 cargoes 588 691 of 589 691 the 590 691 east. 591 691 But 592 691 while 593 691 they 594 691 freely 595 691 waive 596 691 a 597 691 ceremonial 598 691 like 599 691 this, 600 691 they 601 691 do 602 691 by 603 691 no 604 691 means 605 691 renounce 606 691 their 607 691 claim 608 691 to 609 691 more 610 691 solid 611 691 tribute. 612 691 Time 613 691 out 614 691 of 615 691 mind 616 691 the 617 691 piratical 618 691 proas 619 691 of 620 691 the 621 691 Malays, 622 691 lurking 623 691 among 624 691 the 625 691 low 626 691 shaded 627 691 coves 628 691 and 629 691 islets 630 691 of 631 691 Sumatra, 632 691 have 633 691 sallied 634 691 out 635 691 upon 636 691 the 637 691 vessels 638 691 sailing 639 691 through 640 691 the 641 691 straits, 642 691 fiercely 643 691 demanding 644 691 tribute 645 691 at 646 691 the 647 691 point 648 691 of 649 691 their 650 691 spears. 651 691 Though 652 691 by 653 691 the 654 691 repeated 655 691 bloody 656 691 chastisements 657 691 they 658 691 have 659 691 received 660 691 at 661 691 the 662 691 hands 663 691 of 664 691 European 665 691 cruisers, 666 691 the 667 691 audacity 668 691 of 669 691 these 670 691 corsairs 671 691 has 672 691 of 673 691 late 674 691 been 675 691 somewhat 676 691 repressed; 677 691 yet, 678 691 even 679 691 at 680 691 the 681 691 present 682 691 day, 683 691 we 684 691 occasionally 685 691 hear 686 691 of 687 691 English 688 691 and 689 691 American 690 691 vessels, 1 692 which, 3 692 in 5 692 those 7 692 waters, 9 692 have 11 692 been 13 692 remorselessly 15 692

694 number. 381 694 And 383 694 who 385 694 could 387 694 tell 389 694 whether, 391 694 in 393 694 that 395 694 congregated 397 694 caravan, 399 694 Moby 401 694 Dick 403 694 himself 405 694 might 407 694 not 409 694 temporarily 411 694 be 413 694 swimming, 415 694 like 417 694 the 419 694 worshipped 421 694 white-elephant 423 694 in 425 694 the 427 694 coronation 429 694 procession 431 694 of 433 694 the 435 694 Siamese! 437 694 So 439 694 with 441 694 stun-sail 443 694 piled 445 694 on 447 694 stun-sail, 449 694 we 451 694 sailed 453 694 along, 455 694 driving 457 694 these 459 694 leviathans 461 694 before 463 694 us; 465 694 when, 467 694 of 469 694 a 471 694 sudden, 473 694 the 475 694 voice 477 694 of 479 694 Tashtego 481 694 was 483 694 heard, 485 694 loudly 487 694 directing 489 694 attention 491 694 to 493 694 something 495 694 in 497 694 our 499 694 wake. 501 694 Corresponding 503 694 to 505 694 the 507 694 crescent 509 694 in 511 694 our 513 694 van, 515 694 we 517 694 beheld 519 694 another 521 694 in 523 694 our 525 694 rear. 527 694 It 529 694 seemed 531 694 formed 533 694 of 535 694 detached 537 694 white 539 694 vapours, 541 694 rising 543 694 and 545 694 falling 547 694 something 549 694 like 551 694 the 553 694 spouts 555 694 of 557 694 the 559 694 whales; 561 694 only 563 694 they 565 694 did 567 694 not 569 694 so 571 694 completely 573 694 come 575 694 and 577 694 go; 579 694 for 581 694 they 583 694 constantly 585 694 hovered, 587 694 without 589 694 finally 591 694 disappearing. 593 694 Levelling 595 694 his 597 694 glass 599 694 at 601 694 this 603 694 sight, 605 694 Ahab 607 694 quickly 609 694 revolved 611 694 in 613 694 his 615 694 pivot-hole, 617 694 crying, 619 694 "Aloft 621 694 there, 623 694 and 625 694 rig 627 694 whips 629 694 and 631 694 buckets 633 694 to 635 694 wet 637 694 the 639 694 sails;--Malays, 641 694 sir, 643 694 and 645 694 after 647 694 us!" 649 694 As 651 694 if 653 694 too 655 694 long 657 694 lurking 659 694 behind 661 694 the 663 694 headlands, 665 694 till 667 694 the 669 694 Pequod 671 694 should 673 694 fairly 675 694 have 677 694 entered 679 694 the 681 694 straits, 683 694 these 685 694 rascally 687 694 Asiatics 689 694 were 691 694 now 693 694 in 1 695 hot 2 695 pursuit, 3 695 to 4 695 make 6 695 up 7 695 for 8 695 their 9 695 over-cautious 11 695 delay. 12 695 But 13 695 when 14 695 the 16 695 swift 17 695 Pequod, 18 695 with 19 695 a 21 695 fresh 22 695 leading 23 695 wind, 24 695 was 26 695 herself 27 695 in 28 695 hot 29 695 chase; 31 695 how 32 695 very 33 695 kind 34 695 of 36 695 these 37 695 tawny 38 695 philanthropists 39 695 to 41 695 assist 42 695 in 43 695 speeding 44 695 her 46 695 on 47 695 to 48 695 her 49 695 own 51 695 chosen 52 695 pursuit,--mere 53 695 riding-whips 54 695 and 56 695 rowels 57 695 to 58 695 her, 59 695 that 61 695 they 62 695 were. 63 695 As 64 695 with 66 695 glass 67 695 under 68 695 arm, 69 695 Ahab 71 695 to-and-fro 72 695 paced 73 695 the 74 695 deck; 76 695 in 77 695 his 78 695 forward 79 695 turn 81 695 beholding 82 695 the 83 695 monsters 84 695 he 86 695 chased, 87 695 and 88 695 in 89 695 the 91 695 after 92 695 one 93 695 the 94 695 bloodthirsty 96 695 pirates 97 695 chasing 98 695 him; 99 695 some 101 695 such 102 695 fancy 103 695 as 104 695 the 106 695 above 107 695 seemed 108 695 his. 109 695 And 111 695 when 112 695 he 113 695 glanced 114 695 upon 116 695 the 117 695 green 118 695 walls 119 695 of 121 695 the 122 695 watery 123 695 defile 124 695 in 126 695 which 127 695 the 128 695 ship 129 695 was 131 695 then 132 695 sailing, 133 695 and 134 695 bethought 136 695 him 137 695 that 138 695 through 141 695 that 142 695 gate 143 695 lay 144 695 the 146 695 route 147 695 to 148 695 his 149 695 vengeance, 151 695 and 152 695 beheld, 153 695 how 154 695 that 156 695 through 157 695 that 158 695 same 159 695 gate 161 695 he 162 695 was 163 695 now 164 695 both 166 695 chasing 167 695 and 168 695 being 169 695 chased 171 695 to 172 695 his 173 695 deadly 174 695 end; 176 695 and 177 695 not 178 695 only 179 695 that, 181 695 but 182 695 a 183 695 herd 184 695 of 186 695 remorseless 187 695 wild 188 695 pirates 189 695 and 191 695 inhuman 192 695 atheistical 193 695 devils 194 695 were 196 695 infernally 197 695 cheering 198 695 him 199 695 on 201 695 with 202 695 their 203 695 curses;--when 204 695 all 206 695 these 207 695 conceits 208 695 had 209 695 passed 211 695 through 212 695 his 213 695 brain, 214 695 Ahab's 216 695 brow 217 695 was 218 695 left 219 695 gaunt 221 695 and 222 695 ribbed, 223 695 like 224 695 the 226 695 black 227 695 sand 228 695 beach 229 695 after 231 695 some 232 695 stormy 233 695 tide 234 695 has 236 695 been 237 695 gnawing 238 695 it, 239 695 without 241 695 being 242 695 able 243 695 to 244 695 drag 246 695 the 247 695 firm 248 695 thing 249 695 from 251 695 its 252 695 place. 253 695 But 254 695 thoughts 256 695 like 257 695 these 258 695 troubled 259 695 very 261 695 few 262 695 of 263 695 the 264 695 reckless 266 695 crew; 267 695 and 268 695 when, 269 695 after 271 695 steadily 272 695 dropping 273 695 and 274 695 dropping 276 695 the 277 695 pirates 279 695 astern, 281 695 the 282 695 Pequod 283 695 at 284 695 last 286 695 shot 287 695 by 288 695 the 289 695 vivid 291 695 green 292 695 Cockatoo 293 695 Point 294 695 on 296 695 the 297 695 Sumatra 298 695 side, 299 695 emerging 301 695 at 302 695 last 303 695 upon 304 695 the 306 695 broad 307 695 waters 308 695 beyond; 309 695 then, 311 695 the 312 695 harpooneers 313 695 seemed 314 695 more 316 695 to 317 695 grieve 318 695 that 319 695 the 321 695 swift 322 695 whales 323 695 had 324 695 been 326 695 gaining 327 695 upon 328 695 the 329 695 ship, 331 695 than 332 695 to 333 695 rejoice 334 695 that 336 695 the 337 695 ship 338 695 had 339 695 so 341 695 victoriously 342 695 gained 343 695 upon 344 695 the 346 695 Malays. 347 695 But 348 695 still 349 695 driving 351 695 on 352 695 in 353 695 the 354 695 wake 356 695 of 357 695 the 358 695 whales, 359 695 at 361 695 length 362 695 they 363 695 seemed 364 695 abating 366 695 their 367 695 speed; 368 695 gradually 369 695 the 371 695 ship 372 695 neared 373 695 them; 374 695 and 376 695 the 377 695 wind 378 695 now 379 695 dying 381 695 away, 382 695 word 383 695 was 384 695 passed 386 695 to 387 695 spring 388 695 to 389 695 the 391 695 boats. 392 695 But 393 695 no 394 695 sooner 396 695 did 397 695 the 398 695 herd, 399 695 by 401 695 some 402 695 presumed 403 695 wonderful 404 695 instinct 406 695 of 407 695 the 408 695 Sperm 409 695 Whale, 411 695 become 412 695 notified 413 695 of 414 695 the 416 695 three 418 695 keels 419 695 that 421 695 were 422 695 after 423 695 them,--though 424 695 as 426 695 yet 427 695 a 428 695 mile 429 695 in 431 695 their 432 695 rear,--than 433 695 they 434 695 rallied 436 695 again, 437 695 and 438 695 forming 439 695 in 441 695 close 442 695 ranks 443 695 and 444 695 battalions, 446 695 so 447 695 that 448 695 their 449 695 spouts 451 695 all 452 695 looked 453 695 like 454 695 flashing 456 695 lines 457 695 of 458 695 stacked 459 695 bayonets, 461 695 moved 462 695 on 463 695 with 464 695 redoubled 466 695 velocity. 467 695 Stripped 468 695 to 469 695 our 471 695 shirts 472 695 and 473 695 drawers, 474 695 we 476 695 sprang 477 695 to 478 695 the 479 695 white-ash, 481 695 and 482 695 after 483 695 several 484 695 hours' 486 695 pulling 487 695 were 488 695 almost 489 695 disposed 491 695 to 492 695 renounce 493 695 the 494 695 chase, 496 695 when 497 695 a 498 695 general 499 695 pausing 501 695 commotion 502 695 among 503 695 the 504 695 whales 506 695 gave 507 695 animating 508 695 token 509 695 that 511 695 they 512 695 were 513 695 now 514 695 at 516 695 last 517 695 under 518 695 the 519 695 influence 521 695 of 522 695 that 523 695 strange 524 695 perplexity 526 695 of 527 695 inert 528 695 irresolution, 529 695 which, 531 695 when 532 695 the 533 695 fishermen 534 695 perceive 536 695 it 537 695 in 538 695 the 539 695 whale, 541 695 they 542 695 say 543 695 he 544 695 is 546 695 gallied. 547 695 The 548 695 compact 549 695 martial 551 695 columns 552 695 in 553 695 which 554 695 they 557 695 had 558 695 been 559 695 hitherto 561 695 rapidly 562 695 and 563 695 steadily 564 695 swimming, 566 695 were 567 695 now 568 695 broken 569 695 up 571 695 in 572 695 one 573 695 measureless 574 695 rout; 576 695 and 577 695 like 578 695 King 579 695 Porus' 581 695 elephants 582 695 in 583 695 the 584 695 Indian 586 695 battle 587 695 with 588 695 Alexander, 589 695 they 591 695 seemed 592 695 going 593 695 mad 594 695 with 596 695 consternation. 597 695 In 598 695 all 599 695 directions 601 695 expanding 602 695 in 603 695 vast 604 695 irregular 606 695 circles, 607 695 and 608 695 aimlessly 609 695 swimming 611 695 hither 612 695 and 613 695 thither, 614 695 by 616 695 their 617 695 short 618 695 thick 619 695 spoutings, 621 695 they 622 695 plainly 623 695 betrayed 624 695 their 626 695 distraction 627 695 of 628 695 panic. 629 695 This 631 695 was 632 695 still 633 695 more 634 695 strangely 636 695 evinced 637 695 by 638 695 those 639 695 of 641 695 their 642 695 number, 643 695 who, 644 695 completely 646 695 paralysed 647 695 as 648 695 it 649 695 were, 651 695 helplessly 652 695 floated 653 695 like 654 695 water-logged 656 695 dismantled 657 695 ships 658 695 on 659 695 the 661 695 sea. 662 695 Had 663 695 these 664 695 Leviathans 666 695 been 667 695 but 668 695 a 669 695 flock 671 695 of 672 695 simple 673 695 sheep, 674 695 pursued 676 695 over 677 695 the 678 695 pasture 679 695 by 681 695 three 682 695 fierce 683 695 wolves, 684 695 they 686 695 could 687 695 not 688 695 possibly 689 695 have 691 695 evinced 692 695 such 693 695 excessive 694 695 dismay. 1 696 But 5 696 this 7 696 occasional 11 696 timidity 13 696 is 17 696 characteristic 19 696 of 23 696 almost 25 696 all 31 696 herding 35 696 creatures. 37 696 Though 41 696 banding 43 696 together 47 696 in 49 696 tens 53 696 of 55 696 thousands, 59 696 the 61 696 lion-maned 65 696 buffaloes 67 696 of 71 696 the 73 696 West 77 696 have 79 696 fled 83 696 before 85 696 a 89 696 solitary 91 696 horseman. 95 696 Witness, 97 696 too, 101 696 all 103 696 human 107 696 beings, 109 696 how 113 696 when 115 696 herded 119 696 together 121 696 in 125 696 the 127 696 sheepfold 131 696 of 133 696 a 137 696 theatre's 139 696 pit, 143 696 they 149 696 will, 151 696 at 155 696 the 157 696 slightest 161 696 alarm 163 696 of 167 696 fire, 169 696 rush 173 696 helter-skelter 175 696 for 179 696 the 181 696 outlets, 185 696 crowding, 187 696 trampling, 191 696 jamming, 193 696 and 197 696 remorselessly 199 696 dashing 205 696 each 209 696 other 211 696 to 215 696 death. 217 696 Best, 221 696 therefore, 223 696 withhold 227 696 any 229 696 amazement 233 696 at 235 696 the 239 696 strangely 241 696 gallied 245 696 whales 247 696 before 251 696 us, 253 696 for 257 696 there 259 696 is 263 696 no 265 696 folly 269 696 of 271 696 the 275 696 beasts 277 696 of 281 696 the 283 696 earth 287 696 which 289 696 is 293 696 not 295 696 infinitely 299 696 outdone 301 696 by 305 696 the 307 696 madness 311 696 of 313 696 men. 317 696 Though 323 696 many 325 696 of 329 696 the 331 696 whales, 335 696 as 337 696 has 341 696 been 343 696 said, 347 696 were 349 696 in 353 696 violent 355 696 motion, 359 696 yet 361 696 it 365 696 is 367 696 to 371 696 be 373 696 observed 379 696 that 383 696 as 385 696 a 389 696 whole 391 696 the 395 696 herd 397 696 neither 401 696 advanced 403 696 nor 407 696 retreated, 409 696 but 413 696 collectively 415 696 remained 419 696 in 421 696 one 425 696 place. 427 696 As 431 696 is 433 696 customary 437 696 in 439 696 those 443 696 cases, 445 696 the 449 696 boats 451 696 at 455 696 once 457 696 separated, 461 696 each 463 696 making 467 696 for 469 696 some 473 696 one 475 696 lone 479

whaleboats 300 697 carry 301 697 certain 302 697 curious 303 697 contrivances, 304 697 originally 305 697 invented 307 697 by 308 697 the 309 697 Nantucket 310 697 Indians, 311 697 called 312 697

361 697 looped, 362 697 it 363 697 can 364 697 in 365 697 a 366 697 moment 367 697 be 368 697 fastened 370 697 to 371 697 a 372 697 harpoon. 373 697 It 375 697 is 376 697 chiefly 377 697 among 378 697 gallied 379 697 whales 380 697 that 381 697 this 382 697 drugg 383 697 is 384 697 used. 385 697 For 386 697 then, 387 697 more 388 697 whales 389 697 are 390 697 close 392 697 round 393 697 you 394

239 698 and 241 698 so 243 698 have 245 698 gone 247 698 round 249 698 on 251 698 their 253 698 backs. 255 698 Owing 257 698 to 259 698 the 261 698 density 263 698 of 265 698 the 267 698 crowd 269 698 of 271 698 reposing 273 698 whales, 275 698 more 277 698 immediately 279 698 surrounding 281 698 the 283 698 embayed 285 698 axis 287 698 of 289 698 the 291 698 herd, 293 698 no 295 698 possible 297 698 chance 299 698 of 301 698 escape 303 698 was 305 698 at 307 698 present 309 698 afforded 311 698 us. 313 698 We 315 698 must 317 698 watch 319 698 for 321 698 a 323 698 breach 325 698 in 327 698 the 329 698 living 331 698 wall 333 698 that 335 698 hemmed 337 698 us 339 698 in; 341 698 the 343 698 wall 345 698 that 347 698 had 351 698 only 353 698 admitted 355 698 us 357 698 in 359 698 order 361 698 to 363 698 shut 365 698 us 367 698 up. 369 698 Keeping 371 698 at 373 698 the 375 698 centre 377 698 of 379 698 the 381 698 lake, 383 698 we 385 698 were 387 698 occasionally 389 698 visited 391 698 by 393 698 small 395 698 tame 397 698 cows 399 698 and 401 698 calves; 403 698 the 405 698 women 407 698 and 409 698 children 411 698 of 413 698 this 415 698 routed 417 698 host. 419 698 Now, 421 698 inclusive 423 698 of 425 698 the 427 698 occasional 429 698 wide 431 698 intervals 433 698 between 435 698 the 437 698 revolving 439 698 outer 441 698 circles, 443 698 and 445 698 inclusive 447 698 of 449 698 the 451 698 spaces 453 698 between 455 698 the 457 698 various 459 698 pods 461 698 in 463 698 any 465 698 one 467 698 of 469 698 those 471 698 circles, 473 698 the 475 698 entire 477 698 area 479 698 at 481 698 this 483 698 juncture, 485 698 embraced 487 698 by 489 698 the 491 698 whole 493 698 multitude, 495 698 must 497 698 have 499 698 contained 501 698 at 503 698 least 505 698 two 507 698 or 509 698 three 511 698 square 513 698 miles. 515 698 At 517 698 any 519 698 rate--though 521 698 indeed 523 698 such 525 698 a 527 698 test 529 698 at 531 698 such 533 698 a 535 698 time 537 698 might 539 698 be 541 698 deceptive--spoutings 543 698 might 545 698 be 547 698 discovered 549 698 from 551 698 our 553 698 low 555 698 boat 557 698 that 559 698 seemed 561 698 playing 563 698 up 565 698 almost 567 698 from 569 698 the 571 698 rim 573 698 of 575 698 the 577 698 horizon. 579 698 I 581 698 mention 583 698 this 585 698 circumstance, 587 698 because, 589 698 as 591 698 if 593 698 the 595 698 cows 597 698 and 599 698 calves 601 698 had 603 698 been 605 698 purposely 607 698 locked 609 698 up 611 698 in 613 698 this 615 698 innermost 617 698 fold; 619 698 and 621 698 as 623 698 if 625 698 the 627 698 wide 629 698 extent 631 698 of 633 698 the 635 698 herd 637 698 had 639 698 hitherto 641 698 prevented 643 698 them 645 698 from 647 698 learning 649 698 the 651 698 precise 653 698 cause 655 698 of 657 698 its 659 698 stopping; 661 698 or, 663 698 possibly, 665 698 being 667 698 so 669 698 young, 671 698 unsophisticated, 673 698 and 675 698 every 677 698 way 679 698 innocent 681 698 and 683 698 inexperienced; 685 698 however 687 698 it 689 698 may 691 698 have 693 698 been, 695 698 these 697 698 smaller 1 699 whales--now 2 699 and 4 699 then 5 699 visiting 7 699 our 8 699 becalmed 10 699 boat 11 699 from 13 699 the 14 699 margin 16 699 of 17 699 the 19 699 lake--evinced 20 699 a 22 699 wondrous 23 699 fearlessness 25 699 and 26 699 confidence, 28 699 or 29 699 else 31 699 a 32 699 still 34 699 becharmed 35 699 panic 37 699 which 38 699 it 40 699 was 41 699 impossible 43 699 not 44 699 to 46 699 marvel 47 699 at. 49 699 Like 50 699 household 52 699 dogs 53 699 they 55 699 came 56 699 snuffling 58 699 round 59 699 us, 61 699 right 62 699 up 64 699 to 65 699 our 67 699 gunwales, 68 699 and 70 699 touching 71 699 them; 73 699 till 74 699 it 76 699 almost 77 699 seemed 79 699 that 80 699 some 82 699 spell 83 699 had 85 699 suddenly 86 699 domesticated 88 699 them. 89 699 Queequeg 91 699 patted 92 699 their 94 699 foreheads; 95 699 Starbuck 97 699 scratched 98 699 their 100 699 backs 101 699 with 103 699 his 104 699 lance; 106 699 but 107 699 fearful 109 699 of 110 699 the 112 699 consequences, 113 699 for 115 699 the 116 699 time 118 699 refrained 119 699 from 121 699 darting 122 699 it. 124 699 But 125 699 far 127 699 beneath 128 699 this 130 699 wondrous 131 699 world 133 699 upon 134 699 the 136 699 surface, 137 699 another 139 699 and 140 699 still 142 699 stranger 143 699 world 145 699 met 146 699 our 148 699 eyes 149 699 as 151 699 we 152 699 gazed 154 699 over 155 699 the 157 699 side. 158 699 For, 160 699 suspended 161 699 in 163 699 those 164 699 watery 166 699 vaults, 167 699 floated 169 699 the 170 699 forms 172 699 of 173 699 the 175 699 nursing 176 699 mothers 178 699 of 179 699 the 181 699 whales, 182 699 and 184 699 those 185 699 that 187 699 by 188 699 their 190 699 enormous 191 699 girth 193 699 seemed 194 699 shortly 196 699 to 197 699 become 199 699 mothers. 200 699 The 202 699 lake, 203 699 as 205 699 I 206 699 have 208 699 hinted, 209 699 was 211 699 to 212 699 a 214 699 considerable 215 699 depth 217 699 exceedingly 218 699 transparent; 220 699 and 221 699 as 223 699 human 224 699 infants 226 699 while 227 699 suckling 229 699 will 230 699 calmly 232 699 and 235 699 fixedly 236 699 gaze 238 699 away 239 699 from 241 699 the 242 699 breast, 244 699 as 245 699 if 247 699 leading 248 699 two 250 699 different 251 699 lives 253 699 at 254 699 the 256 699 time; 257 699 and 259 699 while 260 699 yet 262 699 drawing 263 699 mortal 265 699 nourishment, 266 699 be 268 699 still 269 699 spiritually 271 699 feasting 272 699 upon 274 699 some 275 699 unearthly 277 699 reminiscence;--even 278 699 so 280 699 did 281 699 the 283 699 young 284 699 of 286 699 these 287 699 whales 289 699 seem 290 699 looking 292 699 up 293 699 towards 295 699 us, 296 699 but 298 699 not 299 699 at 301 699 us, 302 699 as 304 699 if 305 699 we 307 699 were 308 699 but 310 699 a 311 699 bit 313 699 of 314 699 Gulfweed 316 699 in 317 699 their 319 699 new-born 320 699 sight. 322 699 Floating 323 699 on 325 699 their 326 699 sides, 328 699 the 329 699 mothers 331 699 also 332 699 seemed 334 699 quietly 335 699 eyeing 337 699 us. 338 699 One 340 699 of 341 699 these 343 699 little 344 699 infants, 346 699 that 347 699 from 349 699 certain 350 699 queer 352 699 tokens 353 699 seemed 355 699 hardly 356 699 a 358 699 day 359 699 old, 361 699 might 362 699 have 364 699 measured 365 699 some 367 699 fourteen 368 699 feet 370 699 in 371 699 length, 373 699 and 374 699 some 376 699 six 377 699 feet 379 699 in 380 699 girth. 382 699 He 383 699 was 385 699 a 386 699 little 388 699 frisky; 389 699 though 391 699 as 392 699 yet 394 699 his 395 699 body 397 699 seemed 398 699 scarce 400 699 yet 401 699 recovered 403 699 from 404 699 that 406 699 irksome 407 699 position 409 699 it 410 699 had 412 699 so 413 699 lately 415 699 occupied 416 699 in 418 699 the 419 699 maternal 421 699 reticule; 422 699 where, 424 699 tail 425 699 to 427 699 head, 428 699 and 430 699 all 431 699 ready 433 699 for 434 699 the 436 699 final 437 699 spring, 439 699 the 440 699 unborn 442 699 whale 443 699 lies 445 699 bent 446 699 like 448 699 a 449 699 Tartar's 451 699 bow. 452 699 The 454 699 delicate 455 699 side-fins, 457 699 and 458 699 the 460 699 palms 461 699 of 463 699 his 464 699 flukes, 467 699 still 469 699 freshly 470 699 retained 472 699 the 473 699 plaited 475 699 crumpled 476 699 appearance 478 699 of 479 699 a 481 699 baby's 482 699 ears 484 699 newly 485 699 arrived 487 699 from 488 699 foreign 490 699 parts. 491 699 "Line! 493 699 line!" 494 699 cried 496 699 Queequeg, 497 699 looking 499 699 over 500 699 the 502 699 gunwale; 503 699 "him 505 699 fast! 506 699 him 508 699 fast!--Who 509 699

Starbuck. 532 699 "Look-e 533 699 here," 535 699 said 536 699 Queequeg, 538 699 pointing 539 699 down. 541 699 As 542 699 when 544 699 the 545 699 stricken 547 699 whale, 548 699 that 550 699 from 551 699 the 553 699 tub 554 699 has 556 699 reeled 557 699 out 559 699 hundreds 560 699 of 562 699 fathoms 563 699 of 565 699 rope; 566 699 as, 568 699 after 569 699 deep 571 699 sounding, 572 699 he 574 699 floats 575 699 up 577 699 again, 578 699 and 580 699 shows 581 699 the 583 699 slackened 584 699 curling 586 699 line 587 699 buoyantly 589 699 rising 590 699 and 592 699 spiralling 593 699 towards 595 699 the 596 699 air; 598 699 so 599 699 now, 601 699 Starbuck 602 699 saw 604 699 long 605 699 coils 607 699 of 608 699 the 610 699 umbilical 611 699 cord 613 699 of 614 699 Madame 616 699 Leviathan, 617 699 by 619 699 which 620 699 the 622 699 young 623 699 cub 625 699 seemed 626 699 still 628 699 tethered 629 699 to 631 699 its 632 699 dam. 634 699 Not 635 699 seldom 637 699 in 638 699 the 640 699 rapid 641 699 vicissitudes 643 699 of 644 699 the 646 699 chase, 647 699 this 649 699 natural 650 699 line, 652 699 with 653 699 the 655 699 maternal 656 699 end 658 699 loose, 659 699 becomes 661 699 entangled 662 699 with 664 699 the 665 699 hempen 667 699 one, 668 699 so 670 699 that 671 699 the 673 699 cub 674 699 is 676 699 thereby 677 699 trapped. 679 699 Some 680 699 of 682 699 the 683 699 subtlest 685 699 secrets 686 699 of 688 699 the 689 699 seas 691 699 seemed 692 699 divulged 694 699 to 695 699 us 697 699 in 698 699 this 1 700 enchanted 3 700 pond. 9 700 We 11 700

circle 439 700 upon 443 700 circle 447 700 of 449 700 consternations 451 700 and 453 700 affrights, 457 700 did 459 700 these 461 700 inscrutable 463 700 creatures 467 700 at 471 700 the 473 700 centre 477 700 freely 479 700 and 481 700 fearlessly 487 700 indulge 489 700 in 491 700 all 493 700 peaceful 499 700 concernments; 501 700 yea, 503 700 serenely 507 700 revelled 509 700 in 513 700 dalliance 517 700 and 519 700 delight. 521 700 But 523 700 even 527 700 so, 529 700 amid 531 700 the 533 700 tornadoed 537 700 Atlantic 541 700 of 543 700 my 547 700 being, 549 700 do 551 700 I 557 700 myself 559 700 still 561 700 for 563 700 ever 569 700 centrally 571 700 disport 573 700 in 577 700 mute 579 700 calm; 583 700 and 587 700 while 589 700 ponderous 591 700 planets 593 700 of 597 700 unwaning 599 700 woe 601 700 revolve 603 700 round 607 700 me, 611 700 deep 613 700 down 617 700 and 619 700 deep 621 700 inland 627 700 there 629 700 I 631 700 still 633 700 bathe 639 700 me 641 700 in 643 700 eternal 647 700 mildness 649 700 of 653 700 joy. 657 700 Meanwhile, 659 700 as 661 700 we 663 700 thus 667 700 lay 669 700 entranced, 671 700 the 673 700 occasional 677 700 sudden 681 700 frantic 683 700 spectacles 687 700 in 689 700 the 691 700 distance 697 700 evinced 699 700 the 1 701 activity 2 701 of 3 701 the 4 701 other 5 701 boats, 6 701 still 7 701 engaged 8 701 in 9 701 drugging 10 701 the 11 701 whales 12 701 on 13 701 the 14 701 frontier 15 701 of 16 701 the 17 701 host; 18 701 or 19 701 possibly 20 701 carrying 21 701 on 22 701 the 23 701 war 24 701 within 25 701 the 26 701 first 27 701 circle, 28 701 where 29 701 abundance 30 701 of 31 701 room 32 701 and 33 701 some 34 701 convenient 35 701 retreats 36 701 were 37 701 afforded 38 701 them. 39 701 But 40 701 the 41 701 sight 42 701 of 43 701 the 44 701 enraged 45 701 drugged 46 701 whales 47 701 now 48 701 and 49 701 then 50 701 blindly 51 701 darting 52 701 to 53 701 and 54 701 fro 55 701 across 56 701 the 57 701 circles, 58 701 was 59 701 nothing 60 701 to 61 701 what 62 701 at 63 701 last 64 701 met 65 701 our 66 701 eyes. 67 701 It 68 701 is 69 701 sometimes 70 701 the 71 701 custom 72 701 when 73 701 fast 74 701 to 75 701 a 76 701 whale 77 701 more 78 701 than 79 701 commonly 80 701 powerful 81 701 and 82 701 alert, 83 701 to 84 701 seek 85 701 to 86 701 hamstring 87 701 him, 88 701 as 89 701 it 90 701 were, 91 701 by 92 701 sundering 93 701 or 94 701 maiming 95 701 his 96 701 gigantic 97 701 tail-tendon. 98 701 It 99 701 is 100 701 done 101 701 by 102 701 darting 103 701 a 104 701 short-handled 105 701 cutting-spade, 106 701 to 107 701 which 108 701 is 109 701 attached 110 701 a 111 701 rope 112 701 for 113 701 hauling 114 701 it 115 701 back 116 701 again. 117 701 A 118 701 whale 119 701 wounded 120 701 (as 121 701 we 122 701 afterwards 123 701 learned) 124 701 in 125 701 this 126 701 part, 127 701 but 128 701 not 129 701 effectually, 130 701 as 131 701 it 132 701 seemed, 133 701 had 134 701 broken 135 701 away 136 701 from 137 701 the 138 701 boat, 139 701 carrying 140 701 along 141 701 with 142 701 him 143 701 half 144 701 of 145 701 the 146 701 harpoon 147 701 line; 148 701 and 149 701 in 150 701 the 151 701 extraordinary 152 701 agony 153 701 of 154 701 the 155 701 wound, 156 701 he 157 701 was 158 701 now 159 701 dashing 160 701 among 161 701 the 162 701 revolving 163 701 circles 164 701 like 165 701 the 166 701 lone 167 701 mounted 168 701 desperado 169 701 Arnold, 170 701 at 171 701 the 172 701 battle 173 701 of 174 701 Saratoga, 175 701 carrying 176 701 dismay 177 701 wherever 178 701 he 179 701 went. 180 701 But 181 701 agonizing 182 701 as 183 701 was 184 701 the 185 701 wound 186 701 of 187 701 this 188 701 whale, 189 701 and 190 701 an 191 701 appalling 192 701 spectacle 193 701 enough, 194 701 any 195 701 way; 196 701 yet 197 701 the 198 701 peculiar 199 701 horror 200 701 with 201 701 which 202 701 he 203 701 seemed 204 701 to 205 701 inspire 206 701 the 207 701 rest 208 701 of 209 701 the 210 701 herd, 211 701 was 212 701 owing 213 701 to 214 701 a 215 701 cause 216 701 which 217 701 at 218 701 first 219 701 the 220 701 intervening 221 701 distance 222 701 obscured 223 701 from 224 701 us. 225 701 But 226 701 at 227 701 length 228 701 we 229 701 perceived 230 701 that 231 701 by 232 701 one 233 701 of 234 701 the 235 701 unimaginable 236 701 accidents 237 701 of 238 701 the 239 701 fishery, 240 701 this 241 701 whale 242 701 had 243 701 become 244 701 entangled 245 701 in 246 701 the 247 701 harpoon-line 248 701 that 249 701 he 250 701 towed; 251 701 he 252 701 had 253 701 also 254 701 run 255 701 away 256 701 with 257 701 the 258 701 cutting-spade 259 701 in 260 701 him; 261 701 and 262 701 while 263 701 the 264 701 free 265 701 end 266 701 of 267 701 the 268 701 rope 269 701 attached 270 701 to 271 701 that 272 701 weapon, 273 701 had 274 701 permanently 275 701 caught 276 701 in 277 701 the 278 701 coils 279 701 of 280 701 the 281 701 harpoon-line 282 701 round 283 701 his 284 701 tail, 285 701 the 286 701 cutting-spade 287 701 itself 288 701 had 289 701 worked 290 701 loose 291 701 from 292 701 his 293 701 flesh. 294 701 So 295 701 that 296 701 tormented 297 701 to 298 701 madness, 299 701 he 300 701 was 301 701 now 302 701 churning 303 701 through 304 701 the 305 701 water, 306 701 violently 307 701 flailing 308 701 with 309 701 his 310 701 flexible 311 701 tail, 312 701 and 313 701 tossing 314 701 the 315 701 keen 316 701 spade 317 701 about 318 701 him, 319 701 wounding 320 701 and 321 701 murdering 322 701 his 323 701 own 324 701 comrades. 325 701 This 326 701 terrific 327 701 object 328 701 seemed 329 701 to 330 701 recall 331 701 the 332 701 whole 333 701 herd 334 701 from 335 701 their 336 701 stationary 337 701 fright. 338 701 First, 339 701 the 340 701 whales 341 701 forming 342 701 the 343 701 margin 344 701 of 345 701 our 346 701 lake 347 701 began 348 701 to 349 701 crowd 350 701 a 351 701 little, 352 701 and 353 701 tumble 354 701 against 355 701 each 356 701 other, 357 701 as 358 701 if 359 701 lifted 360 701 by 361 701 half 362 701 spent 363 701 billows 364 701 from 365 701 afar; 366 701 then 367 701 the 368 701 lake 369 701 itself 370 701 began 371 701 faintly 372 701 to 373 701 heave 374 701 and 375 701 swell; 376 701 the 377 701 submarine 378 701 bridal-chambers 379 701 and 380 701 nurseries 381 701 vanished; 382 701 in 383 701 more 384 701 and 385 701 more 386 701 contracting 387 701 orbits 388 701 the 389 701 whales 390 701 in 391 701 the 392 701 more 393 701 central 394 701 circles 395 701 began 396 701 to 397 701 swim 398 701 in 399 701 thickening 400 701 clusters. 401 701 Yes, 402 701 the 403 701 long 404 701 calm 405 701 was 406 701 departing. 407 701 A 408 701 low 409 701 advancing 410 701 hum 411 701 was 412 701 soon 413 701 heard; 414 701 and 415 701 then 416 701 like 417 701 to 418 701 the 419 701 tumultuous 420 701 masses 421 701 of 422 701 block-ice 423 701 when 424 701 the 425 701 great 426 701 river 427 701 Hudson 428 701 breaks 429 701 up 430 701 in 431 701 Spring, 432 701 the 433 701 entire 434 701 host 435 701 of 436 701 whales 437 701 came 438 701 tumbling 439 701 upon 440 701 their 441 701 inner 442 701 centre, 443 701 as 444 701 if 445 701 to 446 701 pile 447 701 themselves 448 701 up 449 701 in 450 701 one 451 701 common 452 701 mountain. 453 701 Instantly 454 701 Starbuck 455 701 and 456 701 Queequeg 457 701 changed 458 701 places; 459 701 Starbuck 460 701 taking 461 701 the 462 701 stern. 463 701 "Oars! 464 701 Oars!" 465 701 he 466 701 intensely 467 701 whispered, 468 701 seizing 469 701 the 470 701 helm--"gripe 471 701 your 472 701 oars, 473 701 and 474 701 clutch 475 701 your 476 701 souls, 477 701 now! 478 701 My 479 701 God, 480 701 men, 481 701 stand 482 701 by! 483 701 Shove 484 701 him 485 701 off, 486 701 you 487 701 Queequeg--the 488 701 whale 489 701 there!--prick 490 701 him!--hit 491 701 him! 492 701 Stand 493 701 up--stand 494 701 up, 495 701 and 496 701 stay 497 701 so! 498 701 Spring, 499 701 men--pull, 500 701 men; 501 701 never 502 701 mind 503 701 their 504 701 backs--scrape 505 701 them!--scrape 506 701 away!" 507 701 The 508 701 boat 509 701 was 510 701 now 511 701 all 512 701 but 513 701 jammed 514 701 between 515 701 two 516 701 vast 517 701 black 518 701 bulks, 519 701 leaving 520 701 a 521 701 narrow 522 701 Dardanelles 523 701 between 524 701 their 525 701 long 526 701 lengths. 527 701 But 528 701 by 529 701 desperate 530 701 endeavor 531 701 we 532 701 at 533 701 last 534 701 shot 535 701 into 536 701 a 537 701 temporary 538 701 opening; 539 701 then 540 701 giving 541 701 way 542 701 rapidly, 543 701 and 544 701 at 545 701 the 546 701 same 547 701 time 548 701 earnestly 549 701 watching 550 701 for 551 701 another 552 701 outlet. 553 701 After 554 701 many 555 701 similar 556 701 hair-breadth 557 701 escapes, 558 701 we 559 701 at 560 701 last 561 701 swiftly 562 701 glided 563 701 into 564 701 what 565 701 had 566 701 just 567 701 been 568 701 one 569 701 of 570 701 the 571 701 outer 572 701 circles, 573 701 but 574 701 now 575 701 crossed 576 701 by 577 701 random 578 701 whales, 579 701 all 580 701 violently 581 701 making 582 701 for 583 701 one 584 701 centre. 585 701 This 586 701 lucky 587 701 salvation 588 701 was 589 701 cheaply 590 701 purchased 591 701 by 592 701 the 593 701 loss 594 701 of 595 701 Queequeg's 596 701 hat, 597 701 who, 598 701 while 599 701 standing 600 701 in 601 701 the 602 701 bows 603 701 to 604 701 prick 605 701 the 606 701 fugitive 607 701 whales, 608 701 had 609 701 his 610 701 hat 611 701 taken 612 701 clean 613 701 from 614 701 his 615 701 head 616 701 by 617 701 the 618 701 air-eddy 619 701 made 620 701 by 621 701 the 622 701 sudden 623 701 tossing 624 701 of 625 701 a 626 701 pair 627 701 of 628 701 broad 629 701 flukes 630 701 close 631 701 by. 632 701 Riotous 633 701 and 634 701 disordered 635 701 as 636 701 the 637 701 universal 638 701 commotion 639 701 now 640 701 was, 641 701 it 642 701 soon 643 701 resolved 644 701 itself 645 701 into 646 701 what 647 701 seemed 648 701 a 649 701 systematic 650 701 movement; 651 701 for 652 701 having 653 701 clumped 654 701 together 655 701 at 656 701 last 657 701 in 658 701 one 659 701 dense 660 701 body, 661 701 they 662 701 then 663 701 renewed 664 701 their 665 701 onward 666 701 flight 667 701 with 668 701 augmented 669 701 fleetness. 670 701 Further 671 701 pursuit 672 701 was 673 701 useless; 674 701 but 675 701 the 676 701 boats 677 701 still 678 701 lingered 679 701 in 680 701 their 681 701 wake 682 701 to 683 701 pick 684 701 up 685 701 what 686 701 drugged 687 701 whales 688 701 might 689 701 be 690 701 dropped 691 701 astern, 692 701 and 693 701 likewise 694 701 to 695 701 secure 696 701 one 697 701 which 698 701 Flask 699 701 had 700 701 killed 1 702 and 5 702 waifed. 7 702 The 11 702 waif 17 702 is 19 702 a 23 702 pennoned 25 702 pole, 29 702 two 31 702 or 35 702 three 37 702 of 41 702 which 43 702 are 47 702 carried 49 702 by 53 702 every 55 702 boat; 59 702 and 61 702 which, 67 702 when 71 702 additional 73 702 game 77 702 is 79 702 at 83 702 hand, 85 702 are 89 702 inserted 95 702 upright 97 702 into 101 702 the 103 702 floating 107 702 body 109 702 of 113 702 a 115 702 dead 119 702 whale, 121 702 both 125 702 to 127 702 mark 131 702 its 133 702 place 137 702 on 139 702 the 145 702 sea, 149 702 and 151 702 also 155 702 as 157 702 token 161 702 of 163 702 prior 167 702 possession, 173 702 should 175 702 the 179 702 boats 181 702 of 185 702 any 187 702 other 191 702 ship 193 702 draw 197 702 near. 199 702 The 203 702 result 205 702 of 209 702 this 211 702 lowering 215 702 was 217 702 somewhat 223 702 illustrative 227 702 of 229 702 that 233 702 sagacious 235 702 saying 239 702 in 241 702 the 245 702 Fishery,--the 251 702 more 253 702 whales 257 702 the 259 702 less 263 702 fish. 265 702 Of 269 702 all 271 702 the 275 702 drugged 277 702 whales 281 702 only 283 702 one 287 702 was 289 702 captured. 293 702 The 295 702 rest 301 702 contrived 305 702 to 307 702 escape 311 702 for 313 702 the 317 702 time, 319 702 but 323 702 only 329 702 to 331 702 be 335 702 taken, 337 702 as 341 702 will 343 702 hereafter 347 702 be 349 702 seen, 353 702 by 355 702 some 359 702 other 361 702 craft 365 702 than 367 702 the 371 702 Pequod. 373 702 CHAPTER 379 702 88 383 702 Schools 385 702 and 389 702 Schoolmasters. 391 702 The 395 702 previous 397 702 chapter 401 702 gave 407 702 account 409 702 of 413 702 an 415 702 immense 419 702 body 421 702 or 425 702 herd 427 702 of 431 702 Sperm 433 702 Whales, 437 702 and 439 702 there 443 702 was 445 702 also 449 702 then 451 702 given 457 702 the 461 702 probable 463 702 cause 467 702 inducing 469 702 those 473 702 vast 475 702 aggregations. 479 702 Now, 485 702 though 487 702 such 491 702 great 493 702 bodies 497 702 are 499 702 at 503 702 times 505 702 encountered, 509 702 yet, 511 702 as 515 702 must 517 702 have 521 702 been 523 702 seen, 527 702 even 529 702 at 535 702 the 539 702 present 541 702 day, 545 702 small 547 702 detached 551 702 bands 553 702 are 557 702 occasionally 563 702 observed, 565 702 embracing 569 702 from 571 702 twenty 575 702 to 577 702 fifty 581 702 individuals 583 702 each. 587 702 Such 589 702 bands 593 702 are 595 702 known 599 702 as 601 702 schools. 605 702 They 607 702 generally 613 702 are 617 702 of 619 702 two 623 702 sorts; 625 702 those 629 702 composed 631 702 almost 635 702 entirely 641 702 of 643 702 females, 647 702 and 649 702 those 653 702 mustering 655 702 none 659 702 but 661 702 young 665 702 vigorous 667 702 males, 671 702 or 673 702 bulls, 677 702 as 679 702 they 683 702 are 685 702 familiarly 691 702 designated. 695 702 In 697 702 cavalier 701 702 attendance 1 703 upon 2 703 the 3 703 school 4 703 of 5 703 females, 6 703 you 7 703 invariably 8 703 see 9 703 a 10 703 male 11 703 of 12 703 full 13 703 grown 14 703 magnitude, 15 703 but 16 703 not 17 703 old; 18 703 who, 20 703 upon 21 703 any 22 703 alarm, 23 703 evinces 24 703 his 25 703 gallantry 26 703 by 27 703 falling 28 703 in 29 703 the 30 703 rear 31 703 and 32 703 covering 33 703 the 34 703 flight 35 703 of 36 703 his 39 703 ladies. 40 703 In 41 703 truth, 42 703 this 43 703 gentleman 44 703 is 45 703 a 46 703 luxurious 47 703 Ottoman, 48 703 swimming 49 703 about 50 703 over 51 703 the 52 703 watery 53 703 world, 54 703 surroundingly 55 703 accompanied 56 703 by 58 703 all 59 703 the 60 703 solaces 61 703 and 62 703 endearments 63 703 of 64 703 the 65 703 harem. 66 703 The 67 703 contrast 68 703 between 69 703 this 70 703 Ottoman 71 703 and 72 703 his 73 703 concubines 75 703 is 77 703 striking; 78 703 because, 79 703 while 80 703 he 81 703 is 82 703 always 83 703 of 84 703 the 85 703 largest 86 703 leviathanic 87 703 proportions, 88 703 the 89 703 ladies, 90 703 even 91 703 at 92 703 full 93 703 growth, 94 703 are 96 703 not 97 703 more 98 703 than 99 703 one-third 100 703 of 101 703 the 102 703 bulk 103 703 of 104 703 an 105 703 average-sized 106 703 male. 107 703 They 108 703 are 109 703 comparatively 110 703 delicate, 112 703 indeed; 113 703 I 115 703 dare 116 703 say, 117 703 not 118 703 to 119 703 exceed 120 703 half 121 703 a 122 703 dozen 123 703 yards 124 703 round 125 703 the 126 703 waist. 127 703 Nevertheless, 128 703 it 129 703 cannot 130 703 be 131 703 denied, 132 703 that 134 703 upon 135 703 the 136 703 whole 137 703 they

703 its 155 703 lord 156 703 in 157 703 their 158 703 indolent 159 703 ramblings. 160 703 Like 161 703 fashionables, 162 703 they 163 703 are 164 703 for 165 703 ever 166 703 on 167 703 the 168 703

instances, 449 703 wrenched 450 703 and 451 703 dislocated 452 703 mouths. 453 703 But 454 703 supposing 455 703 the 457 703 invader 458 703 of 459 703 domestic 460 703 bliss 461 703 to 462 703 betake

Turks 540 703 are 541 703 too 542 703 lavish 543 703 of 544 703 their 545 703 strength, 546 703 and 547 703 hence 548 703 their 549 703 unctuousness 550 703 is 552 703 small. 553 703 As 554 703 for 556 703 the 557 703 sons 558 703 and 559 703 the 560 703 daughters 561 703 they 562 703 beget, 563 703 why, 564 703 those 565 703 sons 566 703 and 567 703 daughters 568 703 must 569 703 take 571 703 care 572 703 of 573 703 themselves; 574 703 at 575 703 least, 576 703 with 577 703 only 578 703 the 579 703 maternal 580 703 help. 581 703 For 582 703 like 583 703 certain 584 703 other 585 703 omnivorous 586 703 roving 587 703 lovers 588 703 that 590 703 might 591 703 be 593 703 named, 594 703 my 595 703 Lord 596 703 Whale 597 703 has 598 703 no 599 703 taste 600 703 for 601 703 the 602 703

703 as 635 703 the 636 703 ardour 637 703 of 638 703 youth 639 703 declines; 640 703 as 641 703 years 642 703 and 643 703 dumps 644 703 increase; 645 703 as 647 703 reflection 648 703 lends 649 703 her 650 703 solemn 651 703 pauses; 652 703 in 653 703 short, 654 703 as 655 703 a 656 703 general 657 703 lassitude 658 703 overtakes 659 703 the 660 703 sated 661 703 Turk; 662 703 then 663 703 a 664 703 love 667 703 of 668 703 ease 669 703 and 670 703 virtue 671 703 supplants 672 703 the 673 703 love 674 703 for 675 703 maidens; 676 703 our 677 703 Ottoman 678 703 enters 679 703 upon 680 703 the

704 admirably 119 704 satirical, 123 704 that 125 704 after 127 704 going 129 704 to 131 704 school 133 704 himself, 135 704 he 137 704 should 139 704 then 141 704 go 145 704 abroad 147 704 inculcating 149 704 not 151 704 what 153 704 he 155 704 learned 157 704 there, 159 704 but 161 704 the 163 704 folly 167 704 of 169 704 it. 171 704 His 173 704 title, 175 704 schoolmaster, 177 704 would 179 704 very 181 704 naturally 183 704 seem 185 704 derived 189 704 from 191 704 the 193 704 name 195 704 bestowed 197 704 upon 199 704 the 201 704 harem 203 704 itself, 205 704 but 207 704 some 211 704 have 213 704 surmised 215 704 that 217 704 the 219 704 man 221 704 who 223 704 first 225 704 thus 227 704 entitled 229 704 this 233 704 sort 235 704 of 237 704 Ottoman 239 704 whale, 241 704 must 243 704 have 245 704 read 247 704 the 249 704 memoirs 251 704 of 255 704 Vidocq, 257 704 and 259 704 informed 261 704 himself 263 704 what 265 704 sort 267 704 of 269 704 a 271 704 country-schoolmaster 273 704 that 277 704 famous 279 704 Frenchman 281 704 was 283 704 in 285 704 his 287 704 younger 289 704 days, 291 704 and 293 704 what 295 704 was 299 704 the 301 704 nature 303 704 of 305 704 those 307 704 occult 309 704 lessons 311 704 he 313 704 inculcated 315 704 into 317 704 some 321 704 of 323 704 his 325 704 pupils. 327 704 The 329 704 same 331 704 secludedness 333 704 and 335 704 isolation 337 704 to 339 704 which 343 704 the 345 704 schoolmaster 347 704 whale 349 704 betakes 351 704 himself 353 704 in 355 704 his 357 704 advancing 359 704 years, 361 704 is 365 704 true 367 704 of 369 704 all 371 704 aged 373 704 Sperm 375 704 Whales. 377 704 Almost 379 704 universally, 381 704 a 383 704 lone 387 704 whale--as 389 704 a 391 704 solitary 393 704 Leviathan 395 704 is 397 704 called--proves 399 704 an 401 704 ancient 403 704 one. 405 704 Like 409 704 venerable 411 704 moss-bearded 413 704 Daniel 415 704 Boone, 417 704 he 419 704 will 421 704 have 423 704 no 425 704 one 427 704 near 431 704 him 433 704 but 435 704 Nature 437 704 herself; 439 704 and 441 704 her 443 704 he 445 704 takes 447 704 to 449 704 wife 453 704 in 455 704 the 457 704 wilderness 459 704 of 461 704 waters, 463 704 and 465 704 the 467 704 best 469 704 of 471 704 wives 475 704 she 477 704 is, 479 704 though 481 704 she 483 704 keeps 485 704 so 487 704 many 489 704 moody 491 704 secrets. 493 704 The 497 704 schools 499 704 composing 501 704 none 503 704 but 505 704 young 507 704 and 509 704 vigorous 511 704 males, 513 704 previously 515 704 mentioned, 519 704 offer 521 704 a 523 704 strong 525 704 contrast 527 704 to 529 704 the 531 704 harem 533 704 schools. 535 704 For 537 704 while 541 704 those 543 704 female 545 704 whales 547 704 are 549 704 characteristically 551 704 timid, 553 704 the 555 704 young 557 704 males, 559 704 or 563 704 forty-barrel-bulls, 565 704 as 567 704 they 569 704 call 571 704 them, 573 704 are 575 704 by 577 704 far 579 704 the 581 704 most 585 704 pugnacious 587 704 of 589 704 all 591 704 Leviathans, 593 704 and 595 704 proverbially 597 704 the 599 704 most 601 704 dangerous 603 704 to 607 704 encounter; 609 704 excepting 611 704 those 613 704 wondrous 615 704 grey-headed, 617 704 grizzled 619 704 whales, 621 704 sometimes 623 704 met, 625 704 and 629 704 these 631 704 will 633 704 fight 635 704 you 637 704 like 639 704 grim 641 704 fiends 643 704 exasperated 645 704 by 647 704 a 651 704 penal 653 704 gout. 655 704 The 657 704 Forty-barrel-bull 659 704 schools 661 704 are 663 704 larger 665 704 than 667 704 the 669 704 harem 673 704 schools. 675 704 Like 677 704 a 679 704 mob 681 704 of 683 704 young 685 704 collegians, 687 704 they 689 704 are 691 704 full 695 704 of 697 704 fight, 699 704 fun, 701 704 and 703 704 wickedness, 1 705 tumbling 2 705 round 4 705 the 7 705 world 8 705 at 11 705 such 13 705 a 14 705 reckless, 16 705 rollicking 17 705 rate, 19 705 that 22 705 no 23 705 prudent 26 705 underwriter 28 705 would 29 705 insure 31 705 them 32 705 any 34 705 more 37 705 than 38 705 he 41 705 would 43 705 a 44 705 riotous 46 705 lad 49 705 at 52 705 Yale 53 705 or 56 705 Harvard. 58 705 They 59 705 soon 61 705 relinquish 62 705 this 64 705 turbulence 67 705 though, 68 705 and 71 705 when 73 705 about 74 705 three-fourths 76 705 grown, 77 705 break 79 705 up, 82 705 and 83 705 separately 86 705 go 88 705 about 89 705 in 91 705 quest 92 705 of 97 705 settlements, 98 705 that 101 705 is, 103 705 harems. 104 705 Another 106 705 point 107 705 of 109 705 difference 112 705 between 113 705 the 116 705 male 118 705 and 119 705 female 121 705 schools 122 705 is 124 705 still 127 705 more 128 705 characteristic 131 705 of 133 705 the 134 705 sexes. 136 705 Say 137 705 you 139 705 strike 142 705 a 143 705 Forty-barrel-bull--poor 146 705 devil! 148 705 all 149 705 his 151 705 comrades 152 705 quit 154 705 him. 157 705 But 158 705 strike 161 705 a 163 705 member 164 705 of 166 705 the 167 705 harem 169 705 school, 172 705 and 173 705 her 176 705 companions 178 705 swim 179 705 around 181 705 her 182 705 with 184 705 every 187 705 token 191 705 of 193 705 concern, 194 705 sometimes 196 705 lingering 197 705 so 199 705 near 202 705 her 203 705 and 206 705 so 208 705 long, 209 705 as 211 705 themselves 212 705 to 214 705 fall 217 705 a 218 705 prey. 221 705 CHAPTER 223 705 89 224 705 Fast-Fish 226 705 and 227 705 Loose-Fish. 229 705 The 232 705 allusion 233 705 to 236 705 the 238 705 waif 239 705 and 241 705 waif-poles 242 705 in 244 705 the 247 705 last 248 705 chapter 251 705 but 253 705 one, 254 705 necessitates 256 705 some 257 705 account 259 705 of 262 705 the 263 705 laws 266 705 and 268 705 regulations 269 705 of 271 705 the 272 705 whale 274 705 fishery, 277 705 of 278 705 which 281 705 the 283 705 waif 284 705 may 286 705 be 287 705 deemed 289 705 the 292 705 grand 293 705 symbol 296 705 and 298 705 badge. 299 705 It 301 705 frequently 302 705 happens 304 705 that 307 705 when 308 705 several 311 705 ships 313 705 are 314 705 cruising 316 705 in 317 705 company, 319 705 a 322 705 whale 323 705 may 326 705 be 328 705 struck 331 705 by 332 705 one 334 705 vessel, 337 705 then 338 705 escape, 341 705 and 343 705 be 344 705 finally 346 705 killed 347 705 and 349 705 captured 352 705 by 353 705 another 356 705 vessel; 358 705 and 359 705 herein 361 705 are 362 705 indirectly 364 705 comprised 367 705 many 368 705 minor 371 705 contingencies, 373 705 all 374 705 partaking 377 705 of 379 705 this 382 705 one 383 705 grand 386 705 feature. 388 705 For 389 705 example,--after 391 705 a 392 705 weary 394 705 and 397 705 perilous 398 705 chase 401 705 and 403 705 capture 404 705 of 406 705 a 407 705 whale, 409 705 the 412 705 body 413 705 may 416 705 get 418 705 loose 419 705 from 421 705 the 422 705 ship 424 705 by 427 705 reason 428 705 of 431 705 a 433 705 violent 434 705 storm; 436 705 and 437 705 drifting 439 705 far 442 705 away 443 705 to 446 705 leeward, 448 705 be 449 705 retaken 451 705 by 452 705 a 454 705 second 457 705 whaler, 458 705 who, 461 705 in 463 705 a 464 705 calm, 466 705 snugly 467 705 tows 469 705 it 472 705 alongside, 473 705 without 476 705 risk 478 705 of 479 705 life 481 705 or 482 705 line. 484 705 Thus 487 705 the 488 705 most 491 705 vexatious 493 705 and 494 705 violent 496 705 disputes 497 705 would 499 705 often 502 705 arise 503 705 between 506 705 the 508 705 fishermen, 509 705 were 511 705 there 512 705 not 514 705 some 518 705 written 521 705 or 523 705 unwritten, 524 705 universal, 526 705 undisputed 527 705 law 529 705 applicable 532 705 to 533 705 all 536 705 cases. 538 705 Perhaps 539 705 the 541 705 only 542 705 formal 544 705 whaling 547 705 code 548 705 authorized 551 705 by 553 705 legislative 554 705 enactment, 556 705 was 557 705 that 559 705 of 562 705 Holland. 563 705 It 566 705 was 568 705 decreed 569 705 by 571 705 the 572 705 States-General 574 705 in 577 705 A.D. 578 705 1695. 581 705 But 583 705 though 584 705 no 586 705 other 587 705 nation 589 705 has 592 705 ever 593 705 had 596 705 any 598 705 written 599 705 whaling 601 705 law, 602 705 yet 604 705 the 607 705 American 608 705 fishermen 613 705 have 614 705 been 616 705 their 617 705 own 619 705 legislators 622 705 and 623 705 lawyers 626 705 in 628 705 this 629 705 matter. 631 705 They 632 705 have 634 705 provided 637 705 a 638 705 system 641 705 which 643 705 for 644 705 terse 646 705 comprehensiveness 647 705 surpasses 649 705 Justinian's 652 705 Pandects 653 705 and 656 705 the 659 705 By-laws 661 705 of 662 705 the 664 705 Chinese 667 705 Society 668 705 for 671 705 the 673 705 Suppression 674 705 of 676 705 Meddling 677 705 with 679 705 other 682 705 People's 683 705 Business. 686 705 Yes; 688 705 these 689 705 laws 691 705 might 692 705 be 694 705 engraven 697 705 on 698 705 a 701 705 Queen 703 705 Anne's 704 705 forthing, 1 706 or 3 706 the 5 706 barb 7 706 of 9 706 a 11 706 harpoon, 13 706 and 15 706 worn 17 706 round 19 706 the 21 706 neck, 23 706 so 25 706 small 27 706 are 29 706 they. 31 706 I. 33 706 A 35 706 Fast-Fish 37 706 belongs 39 706 to 41 706 the 43 706 party 45 706 fast 47 706 to 49 706 it. 51 706 II. 53 706 A 55 706 Loose-Fish 57 706 is 59 706 fair 61 706 game 63 706 for 65 706 anybody 67 706 who 69 706 can 71 706 soonest 73 706 catch 75 706 it. 77 706 But 79 706 what 81 706 plays 83 706 the 85 706 mischief 87 706 with 89 706 this 91 706 masterly 93 706 code 95 706 is 97 706 the 99 706 admirable 101 706 brevity 103 706 of 105 706 it, 107 706 which 109 706 necessitates 111 706 a 113 706 vast 115 706 volume 117 706 of 119 706 commentaries 121 706 to 123 706 expound 125 706 it. 127 706 First: 129 706 What 131 706 is 133 706 a 135 706 Fast-Fish? 137 706 Alive 139 706 or 141 706 dead 143 706 a 145 706 fish 147 706 is 149 706 technically 151 706 fast, 153 706 when 155 706 it 157 706 is 159 706 connected 161 706 with 163 706 an 165 706 occupied 167 706 ship 169 706 or 171 706 boat, 173 706 by 175 706 any 177 706 medium 179 706 at 181 706 all 183 706 controllable 185 706 by 187 706 the 189 706 occupant 191 706 or 193 706 occupants,--a 195 706 mast, 197 706 an 199 706 oar, 201 706 a 203 706 nine-inch 205 706 cable, 207 706 a 209 706 telegraph 211 706 wire, 213 706 or 215 706 a 217 706 strand 219 706 of 221 706 cobweb, 223 706 it 225 706 is 227 706 all 229 706 the 231 706 same. 233 706 Likewise 235 706 a 237 706 fish 239 706 is 241 706 technically 243 706 fast 245 706 when 247 706 it 249 706 bears 251 706 a 253 706 waif, 255 706 or 257 706 any 259 706 other 261 706 recognised 263 706 symbol 265 706 of 267 706 possession; 269 706 so 271 706 long 273 706 as 275 706 the 277 706 party 279 706 waifing 281 706 it 283 706 plainly 285 706 evince 287 706 their 289 706 ability 291 706 at 293 706 any 295 706 time 297 706 to 299 706 take 301 706 it 303 706 alongside, 305 706 as 307 706 well 309 706 as 311 706 their 313 706 intention 315 706 so 317 706 to 319 706 do. 321 706 These 323 706 are 325 706 scientific 327 706 commentaries; 329 706 but 331 706 the 333 706 commentaries 335 706 of 337 706 the 339 706 whalemen 341 706 themselves 343 706 sometimes 345 706 consist 347 706 in 349 706 hard 351 706 words 355 706 and 357 706 harder 359 706 knocks--the 361 706 Coke-upon-Littleton 363 706 of 365 706 the 367 706 fist. 369 706 True, 371 706 among 373 706 the 375 706 more 377 706 upright 379 706 and 381 706 honourable 383 706 whalemen 385 706 allowances 387 706 are 389 706 always 391 706 made 393 706 for 395 706 peculiar 397 706 cases, 399 706 where 401 706 it 403 706 would 405 706 be 407 706 an 409 706 outrageous 411 706 moral 413 706 injustice 415 706 for 417 706 one 419 706 party 421 706 to 423 706 claim 425 706 possession

457 706 means 459 706 so 461 706 scrupulous. 463 706 Some 465 706 fifty 467 706 years 469 706 ago 471 706 there 473 706 was 475 706 a 477 706 curious 479 706 case 481 706 of 483 706 whale-trover 485

515 706 whale 517 706 in 519 706 the 521 706 Northern 523 706 seas; 525 706 and 527 706 when 529 706 indeed 531 706 they 533 706 (the 535 706 plaintiffs) 537 706 had 539 706 succeeded 541 706 in 543

forsake 573 706 not 575 706 only 577 706 their 579 706 lines, 581 706 but 583 706 their 585 706 boat 587 706 itself. 589 706 Ultimately 591 706 the 593 706 defendants 595 706 (the 597 706 crew 599 706 of 601 706 another 603 706 ship) 605 706 came 607 706 up 609 706 with 611 706 the 613 706 whale, 615 706 struck, 617 706 killed, 619 706 seized, 621 706 and 623 706 finally 625 706 appropriated 627 706 it 629 706 before 631 706 the 633 706 very 635 706 eyes 637 706 of 639 706 the 641 706 plaintiffs. 643 706 And 645 706 when 647 706 those 649 706 defendants 651 706 were 653 706 remonstrated 655 706 with, 657 706 their 659 706 captain 661 706 snapped 663 706 his 665 706 fingers 667 706 in 669 706 the 671 706 plaintiffs' 673 706 teeth, 675 706 and 677 706 assured 679 706 them 681 706 that 683

harpoons, 6 707 and 8 707 boat, 9 707 which 10 707 had 11 707 remained 12 707 attached 13 707 to 15 707 the 16 707 whale 17 707 at 18 707 the 19 707 time 20 707 of 22 707 the 23 707 seizure. 24 707 Wherefore 25 707 the 26 707 plaintiffs 27 707 now 29 707 sued 30 707 for 31 707 the 32 707 recovery 33 707 of 34 707 the 36 707 value 37 707 of 38 707 their 39 707 whale, 40 707 line, 41 707 harpoons, 43 707 and 44 707 boat. 45 707 Mr. 46 707 Erskine 47 707 was 48 707 counsel 50 707 for 51 707 the 52 707 defendants; 53 707 Lord 54 707 Ellenborough 55 707 was 57 707 the 58 707 judge. 59 707 In 60 707 the 61 707 course 62 707 of 64 707 the 65 707 defence, 66 707 the 67 707 witty 68 707 Erskine 69 707 went 71 707 on 72 707 to 73 707 illustrate 74 707 his 75 707 position, 76 707 by 78 707 alluding 79 707 to 80 707 a 81 707 recent 82 707 crim. 83 707 con. 85 707 case, 86 707 wherein 87 707 a 88 707 gentleman, 89 707 after 90 707 in 92 707 vain 93 707 trying 94 707 to 95 707 bridle 96 707 his 97 707 wife's 99 707 viciousness, 100 707 had 102 707 at 103 707 last 104 707 abandoned 106 707 her 107 707 upon 108 707 the 109 707 seas 110 707 of 111 707 life; 113 707 but 114 707 in 115 707 the 116 707 course 117 707 of 118 707 years, 120 707 repenting 121 707 of 122 707 that 123 707 step, 124 707 he 125 707 instituted 127 707 an 128 707 action 129 707 to 130 707 recover 131 707 possession 132 707 of 134 707 her. 135 707 Erskine 136 707 was 137 707 on 138 707 the 139 707 other 141 707 side; 142 707 and 143 707 he 144 707 then 145 707 supported 146 707 it 148 707 by 149 707 saying, 150 707 that 151 707 though 152 707 the 153 707 gentleman 155 707 had 156 707 originally 157 707 harpooned 158 707 the 159 707 lady, 160 707 and 162 707 had 163 707 once 164 707 had 165 707 her 166 707 fast, 167 707 and 169 707 only 170 707 by 171 707 reason 172 707 of 173 707 the 174 707 great 176 707 stress 177 707 of 178 707 her 179 707 plunging 180 707 viciousness, 181 707 had 183 707 at 184 707 last 185 707 abandoned 186 707 her; 187 707 yet 188 707 abandon 190 707 her 191 707 he 192 707 did, 193 707 so 194 707 that 195 707 she 197 707 became 198 707 a 199 707 loose-fish; 200 707 and 201 707 therefore 204 707 when 205 707 a 206 707 subsequent 207 707 gentleman 208 707 re-harpooned 209 707 her, 211 707 the 212 707 lady 213 707 then 214 707 became 215 707 that 216 707

her. 233 707 Now 234 707 in 235 707 the 236 707 present 237 707 case 239 707 Erskine 240 707 contended 241 707 that 242 707 the 243 707 examples 244 707 of 246 707 the 247 707 whale 248 707 and 249 707 the 250 707 lady 251 707 were 253 707 reciprocally 254 707 illustrative 255 707 of 256 707 each 257 707 other. 258 707 These 260 707 pleadings, 261 707 and 262 707 the 263 707 counter 264 707 pleadings, 265 707 being 267 707 duly 268 707 heard, 269 707 the 270 707 very 271 707 learned 272 707 Judge 274 707 in 275 707 set 276 707 terms 277 707 decided, 278 707 to 279 707 wit,--That 281 707

707 it 299 707 to 300 707 save 302 707 their 304 707 lives; 305 707 but 306 707 that 307 707 with 309 707 regard 310 707 to 311 707 the 312 707 controverted 313 707 whale, 314 707 harpoons, 316 707

707 made 352 707 off 353 707 with 354 707 them, 355 707 it 356 707 (the 358 707 fish) 359 707 acquired 360 707 a 361 707 property 362 707 in 363 707 those 365 707 articles; 366 707 and 367 707 hence 368 707 anybody 369 707 who 370 707 afterwards 372 707 took 373 707 the 374 707 fish 375 707 had 376 707 a 377 707 right 379 707 to 380 707 them. 381 707 Now 382 707 the 383 707 defendants 384 707 afterwards 386 707 took 387 707 the 388 707 fish; 389 707 ergo, 390 707 the 391 707 aforesaid 393 707 articles 394 707 were 395 707 theirs. 396 707 A 397 707 common 398 707 man 400 707 looking 401 707

709 various 66 709 respects 67 709 a 68 709 strange 69 709 anomaly 70 709 touching 71 709 the 72 709 general 73 709 law 74 709 of 75 709 Fast 76 709 and 77 709 Loose-Fish, 78 709 it 79 709 is 80 709 here 81 709 treated 82 709 of 83 709 in 84 709 a 85 709 separate 86 709 chapter, 87 709 on 88 709 the 89 709 same 90 709 courteous 91 709 principle 92 709 that 93 709 prompts 94 709 the 95 709 English

accommodation 111 709 of 112 709 royalty. 113 709 In 114 709 the 115 709 first 116 709 place, 117 709 in 118 709 curious 119 709 proof 120 709 of 121 709 the 122 709 fact 123 709 that 124 709 the 125 709 above-mentioned 126 709 law 127 709 is 128 709 still 129 709 in 130 709 force, 131 709 I 132 709 proceed 133 709 to 134 709 lay 135 709 before 136 709 you 137 709 a 138 709 circumstance 139 709 that 140 709 happened 141 709 within 142 709 the 143 709 last 144 709 two 145 709 years. 146 709 It 147 709 seems 148 709 that 149 709 some 150 709 honest 151 709 mariners 152 709 of 153 709 Dover, 154 709 or 155 709 Sandwich, 156 709 or 157 709 some 158 709 one 159 709 of 160 709 the 161 709 Cinque 162 709 Ports, 163 709 had 164 709 after 165 709 a 166 709 hard 167 709 chase 168 709 succeeded 169 709 in 170 709 killing 171 709 and 172 709 beaching 173 709 a 174 709 fine 175 709 whale 176 709 which 177 709 they 178 709 had 179 709 originally 180 709 descried 181 709 afar 182 709 off 183 709 from 184 709 the 185 709 shore. 186 709 Now 187 709 the 188 709 Cinque 189 709 Ports 190 709 are 191 709 partially 192 709 or 193 709 somehow 194 709 under 195 709 the 196 709 jurisdiction 197 709 of 198 709 a 199 709 sort 200 709 of 201 709 policeman 202 709 or 203 709 beadle, 204 709 called 205 709 a 206 709 Lord 207 709 Warden. 208 709 Holding 209 709 the 210 709 office 211 709 directly 212 709 from 213 709 the 214 709 crown, 215 709 I 216 709 believe, 217 709 all 218 709 the 219 709 royal 220 709 emoluments 221 709 incident 222 709 to 223 709 the 224 709 Cinque 225 709 Port 226 709 territories 227 709 become 228 709 by 229 709 assignment 230 709 his. 231 709 By 232 709 some 233 709 writers 234 709 this 235 709 office 236 709 is 237 709 called 238 709 a 239 709 sinecure. 240 709 But 241 709 not 242 709 so. 243 709 Because 244 709 the 245 709 Lord 246 709 Warden 247 709 is 248 709 busily 249 709 employed 250 709 at 251 709 times 252 709 in 253 709 fobbing 254 709 his 255 709 perquisites; 256 709 which 257 709 are 258 709 his 259 709 chiefly 260 709 by 261 709 virtue 262 709 of 263 709 that 264 709 same 265 709 fobbing 266 709 of 267 709 them. 268 709 Now 269 709 when 270 709 these 271 709 poor 272 709 sun-burnt 273 709 mariners, 274 709 bare-footed, 275 709 and 276 709 with 277 709 their 278 709 trowsers 279 709 rolled 280 709 high 281 709 up 282 709 on 283 709 their

709 off! 357 709 this 358 709 fish, 359 709 my 360 709 masters, 361 709 is 362 709 a 363 709 Fast-Fish. 364 709 I 365 709 seize 366 709 it 367 709 as 368 709 the 369 709 Lord 370 709 Warden's." 371 709 Upon 372 709 this 373 709 the 374 709 poor 375 709 mariners 376 709 in 377 709 their 378 709 respectful 379 709 consternation--so 380 709 truly 381 709 English--knowing 382 709 not 383 709 what 384 709 to 385 709 say, 386 709 fall 387 709 to 388 709 vigorously 389 709 scratching 390 709 their 391 709 heads 392 709 all 393 709 round; 394 709 meanwhile 395 709 ruefully 396 709 glancing 397 709 from 398 709 the 399 709 whale 400 709 to 401 709 the 402 709 stranger. 403 709 But 404 709 that 405 709 did 406 709 in 407 709 nowise 408 709 mend 409 709 the 410 709 matter, 411 709 or 412 709 at

At 428 709 length 429 709 one 430 709 of 431 709 them, 432 709 after 433 709 long 434 709 scratching 435 709 about 436 709 for 437 709 his 438 709 ideas, 439 709 made 440 709 bold 441 709 to 442 709

on 41 710 what 43 710 principle 47 710 the 49 710 Sovereign 51 710 is 53 710 originally 57 710 invested 59 710 with 61 710 that 63 710 right. 67 710 The 69 710 law 73 710 itself 77 710 has 79 710 already 81 710 been 83 710 set 87 710 forth. 89 710 But 91 710 Plowdon 93 710 gives 97 710 us 99 710 the 101 710 reason 103 710 for 107 710 it. 109 710 Says 111 710 Plowdon, 113 710 the 117 710 whale 119 710 so 121 710 caught 123 710 belongs 127 710 to 129 710 the 131 710 King 133 710 and 137 710 Queen, 139 710 "because 141 710 of 143 710 its 147 710 superior 149 710 excellence." 151 710 And 153 710 by 157 710 the 159 710 soundest 161 710 commentators 163 710 this 167 710 has 169 710 ever 171 710 been 173 710 held 177 710 a 179 710 cogent 181 710 argument 183 710 in 187 710 such 189 710 matters. 191 710 But 193 710 why 197 710 should 199 710 the 201 710 King 203 710 have 207 710 the 209 710 head, 211 710 and 217 710 the 219 710 Queen 221 710 the 223 710 tail? 227 710 A 229 710 reason 231 710 for 233 710 that, 237 710 ye 239 710 lawyers! 241 710 In 243 710 his 247 710 treatise 249 710 on 251 710 "Queen-Gold," 253 710 or 257 710 Queen-pinmoney, 259 710 an 261 710 old 263 710 King's 267 710 Bench 269 710 author, 271 710 one 273 710 William 277 710 Prynne, 279 710 thus 281 710 discourseth: 283 710 "Ye 287 710 tail 289 710 is 291 710 ye 293 710 Queen's, 297 710 that 299 710 ye 301 710 Queen's 303 710 wardrobe 307 710 may 309 710 be 311 710 supplied 313 710 with 317 710 ye 319 710 whalebone." 321 710 Now 323 710 this 327 710 was 329 710 written 331 710 at 333 710 a 337 710 time 339 710 when 341 710 the 343 710 black 347 710 limber 349 710 bone 351 710 of 353 710 the 357 710 Greenland 359 710 or 361 710 Right 363 710 whale 367 710 was 369 710 largely 371 710 used 373 710 in 377 710 ladies' 379 710 bodices. 381 710 But 383 710 this 387 710 same 389 710 bone 391 710 is 393 710 not 397 710 in 399 710 the 401 710 tail; 403 710 it 407 710 is 409 710 in 411 710 the 413 710 head, 417 710 which 419 710 is 421 710 a 423 710 sad 427 710 mistake 429 710 for 431 710 a 433 710 sagacious 437 710 lawyer 439 710 like 441 710 Prynne. 443 710 But 447 710 is 449 710 the 451 710 Queen 453 710 a 457 710 mermaid, 459 710 to 461 710 be 463 710 presented 467 710 with 469 710 a 471 710 tail? 473 710 An 477 710 allegorical 479 710 meaning 481 710 may 483 710 lurk 487 710 here. 489 710 There 491 710 are 493 710 two 499 710 royal 501 710 fish 503 710 so 507 710 styled 509 710 by 511 710 the 513 710 English 517 710 law 519 710 writers--the 521 710 whale 523 710 and 527 710 the 529 710 sturgeon; 531 710 both 533 710 royal 537 710 property 539 710 under 541 710 certain 543 710 limitations, 547 710 and 549 710 nominally 551 710 supplying 553 710 the 557 710 tenth 559 710 branch 561 710 of 563 710 the 567 710 crown's 569 710 ordinary 571 710 revenue. 573 710 I 577 710 know 579 710 not 581 710 that 583 710 any 587 710 other 589 710 author 591 710 has 593 710 hinted 597 710 of 599 710 the 601 710 matter; 603 710 but 607 710 by 609 710 inference 611 710 it 613 710 seems 617 710 to 619 710 me 621 710 that 623 710 the 627 710 sturgeon 629 710 must 631 710 be 633 710 divided 637 710 in 641 710 the 643 710 same 647 710 way 649 710 as 651 710 the 653 710 whale, 657 710 the 659 710 King 661 710 receiving 663 710 the 667 710 highly 669 710 dense 671 710 and 673 710 elastic 677 710 head 679 710 peculiar 681 710 to 683 710 that 687 710 fish, 689 710 which, 691 710 symbolically 693 710 regarded, 697 710 may 699 710 possibly 701 710 be 703 710 humorously 707 710 grounded 709 710 upon 1 711 some 2 711 presumed 4 711 congeniality. 5 711 And 7 711 thus 8 711 there 10 711 seems 11 711 a 13 711 reason 14 711 in 16 711 all 17 711 things, 19 711 even 20 711 in 22 711 law. 23 711 CHAPTER 25 711 91 26 711 The 28 711 Pequod 29 711 Meets 31 711 The 32 711 Rose-Bud. 34 711 "In 35 711 vain 37 711 it 38 711 was 40 711 to 41 711 rake 43 711 for 44 711 Ambergriese 46 711 in 47 711 the 49 711 paunch 50 711 of 52 711 this 53 711 Leviathan, 55 711 insufferable 56 711 fetor 58 711 denying 59 711 not 61 711 inquiry." 62 711 SIR 64 711 T. 65 711 BROWNE, 67 711 V.E. 68 711 It 70 711 was 71 711 a 73 711 week 74 711 or 76 711 two 77 711 after 80 711 the 82 711 last 83 711 whaling 85 711 scene 86 711 recounted, 88 711 and 89 711 when 91 711 we 92 711 were 94 711 slowly 95 711 sailing 97 711 over 98 711 a 100 711 sleepy, 101 711 vapoury, 103 711 mid-day 104 711 sea, 106 711 that 107 711 the 109 711 many 110 711 noses 112 711 on 113 711 the 115 711 Pequod's 116 711 deck 118 711 proved 119 711 more 121 711 vigilant 122 711 discoverers 124 711 than 125 711 the 127 711 three 128 711 pairs 130 711 of 131 711 eyes 133 711 aloft. 134 711 A 136 711 peculiar 137 711 and 139 711 not 140 711 very 142 711 pleasant 143 711 smell 145 711 was 146 711 smelt 148 711 in 149 711 the 151 711 sea. 152 711 "I 154 711 will 155 711 bet 157 711 something 160 711 now," 161 711 said 163 711 Stubb, 164 711 "that 166 711 somewhere 167 711 hereabouts 169 711 are 170 711 some 172 711 of 173 711 those 175 711 drugged 176 711 whales 178 711 we 179 711 tickled 181 711 the 182 711 other 184 711 day. 185 711 I 187 711 thought 188 711 they 190 711 would 191 711 keel 193 711 up 194 711 before 196 711 long." 197 711 Presently, 199 711 the 200 711 vapours 202 711 in 203 711 advance 205 711 slid 206 711 aside; 208 711 and 209 711 there 211 711 in 212 711 the 214 711 distance 215 711 lay 217 711 a 218 711 ship, 220 711 whose 221 711 furled 223 711 sails 224 711 betokened 226 711 that 227 711 some 229 711 sort 230 711 of 232 711 whale 233 711 must 235 711 be 236 711 alongside. 238 711 As 239 711 we 241 711 glided 242 711 nearer, 244 711 the 245 711 stranger 247 711 showed 248 711 French 250 711 colours 251 711 from 253 711 his 254 711 peak; 256 711 and 257 711 by 259 711 the 260 711 eddying 262 711 cloud 263 711 of 265 711 vulture 266 711 sea-fowl 268 711 that 269 711 circled, 271 711 and 272 711 hovered, 274 711 and 275 711 swooped 277 711 around 278 711 him, 280 711 it 281 711 was 283 711 plain 284 711 that 286 711 the 287 711 whale 289 711 alongside 290 711 must 292 711 be 293 711 what 295 711 the 296 711 fishermen 298 711 call 299 711 a 301 711 blasted 302 711 whale, 304 711 that 305 711 is, 307 711 a 308 711 whale 310 711 that 311 711 has 313 711 died 314 711 unmolested 317 711 on 319 711 the 320 711 sea, 322 711 and 323 711 so 325 711 floated 326 711 an 328 711 unappropriated 329 711 corpse. 331 711 It 332 711 may 334 711 well 335 711 be 337 711 conceived, 338 711 what 340 711 an 341 711 unsavory 343 711 odor 344 711 such 346 711 a 347 711 mass 349 711 must 350 711 exhale; 352 711 worse 353 711 than 355 711 an 356 711 Assyrian 358 711 city 359 711 in 361 711 the 362 711 plague, 364 711 when 365 711 the 367 711 living 368 711 are 370 711 incompetent 371 711 to 373 711 bury 374 711 the 376 711 departed. 377 711 So 379 711 intolerable 380 711 indeed 382 711 is 383 711 it 385 711 regarded 386 711 by 388 711 some, 389 711 that 391 711 no 392 711 cupidity 394 711 could 397 711 persuade 398 711 them 400 711 to 401 711 moor 403 711 alongside 404 711 of 406 711 it. 407 711 Yet 409 711 are 410 711 there 412 711 those 413 711 who 415 711 will 416 711 still 418 711 do 419 711 it; 421 711 notwithstanding 422 711 the 424 711 fact 425 711 that 427 711 the 428 711 oil 430 711 obtained 431 711 from 433 711 such 434 711 subjects 436 711 is 437 711 of 439 711 a 440 711 very 442 711 inferior 443 711 quality, 445 711 and 446 711 by 448 711 no 449 711 means 451 711 of 452 711 the 454 711 nature 455 711 of 457 711 attar-of-rose. 458 711 Coming 460 711 still 461 711 nearer 463 711 with 464 711 the 466 711 expiring 467 711 breeze, 469 711 we 470 711 saw 472 711 that 473 711 the 475 711 Frenchman 476 711 had 478 711 a 479 711 second 481 711 whale 482 711 alongside; 484 711 and 485 711 this 487 711 second 488 711 whale 490 711 seemed 491 711 even 493 711 more 494 711 of 496 711 a 497 711 nosegay 499 711 than 500 711 the 502 711 first. 503 711 In 505 711 truth, 506 711 it 508 711 turned 509 711 out 511 711 to 512 711 be 514 711 one 515 711 of 517 711 those 518 711 problematical 520 711 whales 521 711 that 523 711 seem 524 711 to 526 711 dry 527 711 up 529 711 and 530 711 die 532 711 with 533 711 a 535 711 sort 536 711 of 538 711 prodigious 539 711 dyspepsia, 541 711 or 542 711 indigestion; 544 711 leaving 545 711 their 547 711 defunct 548 711 bodies 550 711 almost 551 711 entirely 554 711 bankrupt 556 711 of 557 711 anything 559 711 like 560 711 oil. 562 711 Nevertheless, 563 711 in 565 711 the 566 711 proper 568 711 place 569 711 we 571 711 shall 572 711 see 574 711 that 575 711 no 577 711 knowing 578 711 fisherman 580 711 will 581 711 ever 583 711 turn 584 711 up 586 711 his 587 711 nose 589 711 at 590 711 such 592 711 a 593 711 whale 595 711 as 596 711 this, 598 711 however 599 711 much 601 711 he 602 711 may 604 711 shun 605 711 blasted 607 711 whales 608 711 in 610 711 general. 611 711 The 613 711 Pequod 614 711 had 616 711 now 617 711 swept 619 711 so 620 711 nigh 622 711 to 623 711 the 625 711 stranger, 626 711 that 628 711 Stubb 629 711 vowed 631 711 he 634 711 recognised 635 711 his 637 711 cutting 638 711 spade-pole 640 711 entangled 641 711 in 643 711 the 644 711 lines 646 711 that 647 711 were 649 711 knotted 650 711 round 652 711 the 653 711 tail 655 711 of 656 711 one 658 711 of 659 711 these 661 711 whales. 662 711 "There's 664 711 a 665 711 pretty 667 711 fellow, 668 711 now," 670 711 he 671 711 banteringly 673 711 laughed, 674 711 standing 676 711 in 677 711 the 679 711 ship's 680 711 bows, 682 711 "there's 683 711 a 685 711 jackal 686 711 for 688 711 ye! 689 711 I 691 711 well 692 711 know 694 711 that 695 711 these 697 711 Crappoes 698 711 of 700 711 Frenchmen 701 711 are 703 711 but 704 711 poor 706 711 devils 707 711 in 709 711 the 710 711 fishery; 1 712 sometimes 3 712 lowering 5 712 their 7 712 boats 9 712 for 11 712 breakers, 13 712 mistaking 15 712 them 17 712 for 19 712 Sperm 21 712 Whale 23 712 spouts; 25 712 yes, 27 712 and 29 712 sometimes 31 712 sailing 33 712 from 35 712 their 37 712 port 39 712 with 41 712 their 43 712 hold 45 712 full 47 712 of 49 712 boxes 51 712 of 53 712 tallow 55 712 candles, 57 712 and 59 712 cases 61 712 of 63 712 snuffers, 65 712 foreseeing 67 712 that 69 712 all 71 712 the 73 712 oil 75 712 they 77 712 will 79 712 get 81 712 won't 83 712 be 85 712 enough 87 712 to 91 712 dip 93 712 the 95 712 Captain's 97 712 wick 99 712 into; 101 712 aye, 103 712 we 105 712 all 107 712 know 109 712 these 111 712 things; 113 712 but 115 712 look 117 712 ye, 119 712 here's 121 712 a 123 712 Crappo 125 712 that 127 712 is 129 712 content 131 712 with 133 712 our 135 712 leavings, 137 712 the 139 712 drugged 141 712 whale 143 712 there, 145 712 I 147 712 mean; 149 712 aye, 151 712 and 153 712 is 155 712 content 157 712 too 159 712 with 161 712 scraping 163 712 the 165 712 dry 167 712 bones 169 712 of 171 712 that 173 712 other 175 712 precious 177 712 fish 179 712 he 181 712 has 183 712 there. 185 712 Poor 187 712 devil! 189 712 I 191 712 say, 193 712 pass 195 712 round 197 712 a 199 712 hat, 201 712 some 203 712 one, 205 712 and 207 712 let's 209 712 make 211 712 him 213 712 a 215 712 present 217 712 of 219 712 a 221

469 712 or 471 712 no, 473 712 the 475 712 Pequod 477 712 was 479 712 now 481 712 fairly 483 712 entrapped 485 712 in 487 712 the 489 712 smell, 491 712 with 493 712 no 495 712 hope 497 712 of 499 712 escaping 501 712 except 503 712 by 505 712 its 507 712 breezing 509 712 up 511 712 again. 513 712 Issuing 515 712 from 517 712 the 519 712 cabin, 521 712 Stubb 523 712 now 525 712 called 527 712 his

647 712 symmetrical 649 712 folded 651 712 bulb 653 712 of 655 712 a 657 712 bright 659 712 red 661 712 colour. 663 712 Upon 665 712 her 667 712 head 669 712 boards, 671 712 in 673 712 large 675 712 gilt 677 712 letters, 679 712 he 681 712 read 683 712 "Bouton 685 712 de 687 712 Rose,"--Rose-button, 689 712 or 691 712 Rose-bud; 693 712 and 695 712 this 697 712 was 699 712 the 701 712 romantic 703 712 name 705 712 of 707 712 this 709 712 aromatic 711 712 ship. 1 713 Though 2 713 Stubb 3 713 did 4 713 not 5 713 understand 6 713 the 7 713 BOUTON 8 713 part 9 713 of 10 713 the 11 713 inscription, 12 713 yet 13 713 the 14 713 word 15 713 ROSE, 16 713 and 17 713 the 18 713 bulbous 19 713 figure-head 20 713 put 21 713 together, 22 713 sufficiently 24 713 explained 25 713 the 26 713 whole 27 713 to 28 713 him. 29 713 "A 30 713 wooden 32 713 rose-bud, 33 713 eh?" 34 713 he 35 713 cried 36 713 with 37 713 his 38 713 hand 39 713 to 40 713 his 41 713 nose, 42 713 "that 43 713 will 44 713 do 45

63 713 with 64 713 the 65 713 people 66 713 on 67 713 deck, 68 713 he 70 713 had 71 713 to 72 713 pull 73 713 round 74 713 the 75 713 bows 76 713 to 77 713 the 78 713 starboard 79 713 side, 80 713 and

spot, 100 713 with 101 713 one 102 713 hand 103 713 still 104 713 to 105 713 his 106 713 nose, 107 713 he 108 713 bawled--"Bouton-de-Rose, 109 713 ahoy! 110 713 are 111 713 there 112 713 any 113 713

who 129 713 turned 130 713 out 131 713 to 132 713 be 133 713 the 134 713 chief-mate. 135 713 "Well, 136 713 then, 137 713 my 139 713 Bouton-de-Rose-bud, 140 713 have 141 713 you 142 713 seen 143 713

713 the 191 713 Pequod, 192 713 and 193 713 seeing 194 713 Ahab 195 713 leaning 196 713 over 197 713 the 198 713 quarter-deck 199 713 rail 200 713 awaiting 201 713 his 202 713 report, 203 713 he 204 713 moulded 205 713 his 206 713 two 208 713 hands 209 713 into 210 713 a 211 713 trumpet 212 713 and 213 713 shouted--"No, 214 713 Sir! 215 713 No!" 216 713 Upon 218 713 which 219 713 Ahab 220 713 retired, 221 713 and 222 713 Stubb 223 713 returned 224 713 to 225 713 the 226 713 Frenchman. 227 713 He 228 713 now 229 713 perceived 231 713 that 232 713 the 233 713 Guernsey-man, 234 713 who 235 713 had 236 713 just 237 713 got 238 713 into 239 713 the 240 713 chains, 241 713 and 242 713 was 243 713 using 244 713 a 245 713 cutting-spade, 246 713 had 247 713 slung 249 713 his 250 713 nose 251

surgeon, 664 713 who, 665 713 after 666 713 in 668 713 vain 669 713 remonstrating 670 713 against 671 713 the 672 713 proceedings 673 713 of 674 713 the 675 713 day, 676 713 had 677 713 betaken 678 713 himself 679 713 to 680 713 the 681 713 Captain's 683 713 round-house 684 713 (CABINET 685 713 he 686 713 called 687 713 it) 688 713 to 689 713 avoid 691 713 the 692 713 pest; 693 713 but 694 713 still, 695 713 could 696 713 not 697 713 help 698 713 yelling 699 713 out 700 713 his 701 713 entreaties 702 713 and 703 713 indignations 704 713 at 705 713 times. 706 713 Marking 707 713 all 708 713 this, 709 713 Stubb 710 713 argued 711 713 well 712 713 for 1 714 his 5 714 scheme, 11 714 and 13 714 turning 19 714 to 23 714 the 25 714 Guernsey-man 29 714 had 31 714 a 37 714 little 41 714 chat 43 714 with 47 714 him, 53 714 during 55 714 which 59 714 the 61 714 stranger 65 714 mate 67 714 expressed 71 714 his 73 714 detestation 79 714 of 83 714 his 89 714 Captain 95 714 as 97 714 a 101 714 conceited 103 714 ignoramus, 107 714 who 109 714 had 113 714 brought 115 714 them 121 714 all 125 714 into 127 714 so 131 714 unsavory 137 714 and 139 714 unprofitable 143 714 a 145 714 pickle. 149 714 Sounding 151 714 him 155 714 carefully, 157 714 Stubb 163 714 further 167 714 perceived 169 714 that 173 714 the 179 714 Guernsey-man 181 714 had 185 714 not 191 714 the 193 714 slightest 197 714 suspicion 199 714 concerning 205 714 the 209 714 ambergris. 211 714 He 215 714 therefore 223 714 held 227 714 his 229 714 peace 233 714 on 235 714 that 239 714 head, 241 714 but 247 714 otherwise 251 714 was 253 714 quite 257 714 frank 263 714 and 265 714 confidential 269 714 with 271 714 him, 275 714 so 277 714 that 281 714 the 283 714 two 293 714 quickly 295 714 concocted 299 714 a 305 714 little 307 714 plan 311 714 for 313 714 both 317 714 circumventing 319 714 and 325 714 satirizing 331 714 the 335 714 Captain, 337 714 without 341 714 his 347 714 at 349 714 all 353 714 dreaming 355 714 of 359 714 distrusting 361 714 their 365 714 sincerity. 367 714 According 373 714 to 377 714 this 379 714 little 383 714 plan 389 714 of 395 714 theirs, 397 714 the 401 714 Guernsey-man, 403 714 under 407 714 cover 409 714 of 415 714 an 419 714 interpreter's 421 714 office, 431 714 was 433 714 to 437 714 tell 439 714 the 443 714 Captain 445 714 what 449 714 he 451 714 pleased, 457 714 but 461 714 as 463 714 coming 467 714 from 473 714 Stubb; 475 714 and 479 714 as 481 714 for 485 714 Stubb, 487 714 he 491 714 was 499 714 to 503 714 utter 505 714 any 509 714 nonsense 515 714 that 517 714 should 521 714 come 523 714 uppermost 529 714 in 533 714 him 535 714 during 541 714 the 545 714 interview. 547 714 By 551 714 this 557 714 time 559 714 their 563 714 destined 565 714 victim 569 714 appeared 571 714 from 575 714 his 577 714 cabin. 583 714 He 587 714 was 589 714 a 593 714 small 599 714 and 601 714 dark, 605 714 but 607 714 rather 611 714 delicate 613 714 looking 617 714 man 619 714 for 625 714 a 631 714 sea-captain, 635 714 with 641 714 large 643 714 whiskers 647 714 and 649 714 moustache, 653 714 however; 655 714 and 659 714 wore 661 714 a 667 714 red 671 714 cotton 673 714 velvet 677 714 vest 683 714 with 685 714 watch-seals 689 714 at 691 714 his 695 714 side. 701 714 To 703 714 this 709 714 gentleman, 713 714 Stubb 1 715 was 2 715 now 3 715 politely 4 715 introduced 6 715 by 7 715 the 8 715 Guernsey-man, 9 715 who 12 715 at 14 715 once 16 715 ostentatiously 17 715 put 18 715 on 19 715 the 21 715 aspect 23 715 of 24 715 interpreting 27 715 between 28 715 them. 29 715 "What 31 715 shall 32 715 I 34 715 say 36 715 to 37 715 him 38 715 first?" 41 715 said 42 715 he. 43 715 "Why," 46 715 said 47 715 Stubb, 48 715 eyeing 49 715 the 51 715 velvet 53 715 vest 54 715 and 56 715 the 57 715 watch 58 715 and 59 715 seals, 61 715 "you 62 715 may 63 715 as 64 715 well 67 715 begin 68 715 by 69 715 telling 71 715 him 72 715 that 73 715 he 74 715 looks 76 715 a 79 715 sort 81 715 of 82 715 babyish 83 715 to 84 715 me, 86 715 though 87 715 I 89 715 don't 92 715 pretend 93 715 to 94 715 be 96 715 a 97 715 judge." 98 715 "He 101 715 says, 102 715 Monsieur," 103 715 said 106 715 the 107 715 Guernsey-man, 108 715 in 109 715 French, 111 715 turning 112 715 to 113 715 his 114 715 captain, 116 715 "that 118 715 only 119 715 yesterday 122 715 his 123 715 ship 124 715 spoke 126 715 a 127 715 vessel, 128 715 whose 129 715 captain 131 715 and 133 715 chief-mate, 134 715 with 136 715 six 137 715 sailors, 138 715 had 139 715 all 141 715 died 142 715 of 144 715 a 146 715 fever 147 715 caught 148 715 from 149 715 a 151 715 blasted 152 715 whale 153 715 they 157 715 had 158 715 brought 159 715 alongside." 161 715 Upon 162 715 this 163 715 the 164 715 captain 166 715 started, 167 715 and 168 715 eagerly 171 715 desired 172 715 to 173 715 know 174 715 more. 177 715 "What 178 715 now?" 179 715 said 181 715 the 183 715 Guernsey-man 184 715 to 186 715 Stubb. 188 715 "Why, 189 715 since 191 715 he 192 715 takes 193 715 it 194 715 so 196 715 easy, 197 715 tell 199 715 him 201 715 that 202 715 now 203 715 I 204 715 have 206 715 eyed 207 715 him 211 715 carefully, 212 715 I'm 213 715 quite 214 715 certain 216 715 that 217 715 he's 218 715 no 219 715 more 222 715 fit 223 715 to 224 715 command 226 715 a 227 715 whale-ship 228 715 than 229 715 a 232 715 St. 233 715 Jago 236 715 monkey. 237 715 In 238 715 fact, 239 715 tell 241 715 him 243 715 from 244 715 me 246 715 he's 248 715 a 249 715 baboon." 251 715 "He 252 715 vows 254 715 and 256 715 declares, 257 715 Monsieur, 258 715 that 259 715 the 261 715 other 262 715 whale, 263 715 the 266 715 dried 267 715 one, 268 715 is 269 715 far 271 715 more 272 715 deadly 274 715 than 276 715 the 277 715 blasted 278 715 one; 279 715 in 281 715 fine, 282 715 Monsieur, 283 715 he 284 715 conjures 287 715 us, 288 715 as 289 715 we 291 715 value 292 715 our 293 715 lives, 294 715 to 296 715 cut 298 715 loose 301 715 from 302 715 these 303 715 fish." 304 715 Instantly 306 715 the 307 715 captain 309 715 ran 311 715 forward, 313 715 and 314 715 in 316 715 a 317 715 loud 318 715 voice 321 715 commanded 322 715 his 323 715 crew 324 715 to 326 715 desist 327 715 from 328 715 hoisting 329 715 the 331 715 cutting-tackles, 332 715 and 333 715 at 334 715 once 336 715 cast 337 715 loose 339 715 the 342 715 cables 343 715 and 344 715 chains 346 715 confining 347 715 the 348 715 whales 349 715 to 353 715 the 354 715 ship. 356 715 "What 357 715 now?" 358 715 said 359 715 the 361 715 Guernsey-man, 362 715 when 366 715 the 367 715 Captain 368 715 had 369 715 returned 371 715 to 372 715 them. 373 715 "Why, 376 715 let 378 715 me 379 715 see; 381 715 yes, 382 715 you 383 715 may 384 715 as 386 715 well 387 715 tell 388 715 him 389 715 now 391 715 that--that--in 392 715 fact, 393 715 tell 394 715 him 397 715 I've 398 715 diddled 399 715 him, 401 715 and 402 715 (aside 404 715 to 406 715 himself) 408 715 perhaps 409 715 somebody 411 715 else." 412 715 "He 413 715 says, 414 715 Monsieur, 417 715 that 419 715 he's 421 715 very 422 715 happy 423 715 to 424 715 have 426 715 been 427 715 of 428 715 any 431 715 service 432 715 to 433 715 us." 434 715 Hearing 436 715 this, 437 715 the 438 715 captain 439 715 vowed 441 715 that 443 715 they 444 715 were 446 715 the 447 715 grateful 448 715 parties 449 715 (meaning 452 715 himself 453 715 and 454 715 mate) 456 715 and 457 715 concluded 458 715 by 459 715 inviting 461 715 Stubb 463 715 down 464 715 into 466 715 his 467 715 cabin 469 715 to 471 715 drink 472 715 a 474 715 bottle 476 715 of 477 715 Bordeaux. 478 715 "He 479 715 wants 482 715 you 483 715 to 486 715 take 487 715 a 488 715 glass 489 715 of 491 715 wine 492 715 with 493 715 him," 496 715 said 497 715 the 498 715 interpreter. 499 715 "Thank 501 715 him 502 715 heartily; 503 715 but 504 715 tell 508 715 him 509 715 it's 511 715 against 512 715 my 513 715 principles 514 715 to 516 715 drink 518 715 with 519 715 the 521 715 man 522 715 I've 523 715 diddled. 524 715 In 526 715 fact, 527 715 tell 529 715 him 531 715 I 532 715 must 534 715 go." 536 715 "He 537 715 says, 538 715 Monsieur, 541 715 that 542 715 his 543 715 principles 544 715 won't 547 715 admit 548 715 of 549 715 his 551 715 drinking; 552 715 but 553 715 that 554 715 if 556 715 Monsieur 557 715 wants 558 715 to 562 715 live 563 715 another 564 715 day 566 715 to 567 715 drink, 568 715 then 569 715 Monsieur 571 715 had 573 715 best 574 715 drop 576 715 all 577 715 four 578 715 boats, 579 715 and 581 715 pull 582 715 the 584 715 ship 586 715 away 587 715 from 588 715 these 589 715 whales, 591 715 for 592 715 it's 593 715 so 596 715 calm 597 715 they 599 715 won't 601 715 drift." 602 715 By 603 715 this 604 715 time 606 715 Stubb 607 715 was 608 715 over 609 715 the 612 715 side, 613 715 and 614 715 getting 617 715 into 618 715 his 619 715 boat, 621 715 hailed 622 715 the 623 715 Guernsey-man 626 715 to 628 715 this 629 715 effect,--that 631 715 having 632 715 a 633 715 long 634 715 tow-line 636 715 in 639 715 his 641 715 boat, 642 715 he 643 715 would 644 715 do 646 715 what 647 715 he 648 715 could 651 715 to 652 715 help 653 715 them, 654 715 by 656 715 pulling 657 715 out 658 715 the 659 715 lighter 661 715 whale 662 715 of 664 715 the 666 715 two 667 715 from 668 715 the 669 715 ship's 672 715 side. 673 715 While 674 715 the 677 715 Frenchman's 678 715 boats, 679 715 then, 681 715 were 683 715 engaged 684 715 in 686 715 towing 687 715 the 688 715 ship 691 715 one 692 715 way, 694 715 Stubb 696 715 benevolently 697 715 towed 698 715 away 699 715 at 701 715 his 703 715 whale 706 715 the 707 715 other 708 715 way, 709 715 ostentatiously 711 715 slacking 712 715 out 713 715 a 714 715 most 1 716 unusually 3 716 long 5 716 tow-line. 7 716 Presently 9 716 a 11 716 breeze 13 716 sprang 15 716 up; 17 716 Stubb 19 716 feigned 21 716 to 23 716 cast 25 716 off 27 716 from 29 716 the 31 716 whale; 33 716 hoisting 35 716 his 37 716 boats, 39 716 the 41 716 Frenchman 43 716 soon 45 716 increased 47 716 his 49 716 distance, 51 716 while 53 716 the 55 716 Pequod 57 716 slid 59 716 in 61 716 between 63 716 him 65 716 and 67 716 Stubb's 69 716 whale. 71 716 Whereupon 73 716 Stubb 75 716 quickly 77 716 pulled 79 716 to 81 716 the 83 716 floating 85 716 body, 87 716 and 89 716 hailing 91 716 the 93 716 Pequod 95 716 to 97 716 give 99 716 notice 101 716 of 103 716 his 105 716 intentions, 107 716 at 109 716 once 111 716 proceeded 113 716 to 115 716 reap 117 716 the 119 716 fruit 121 716 of 123 716 his 125 716 unrighteous 127 716 cunning. 129 716 Seizing 131 716 his 133 716 sharp 135 716 boat-spade, 137 716 he 139 716 commenced 141 716 an 143 716 excavation 145 716 in 147 716 the 149 716 body, 151 716 a 153 716 little 155 716 behind 157 716 the 159 716 side 161 716 fin. 163 716 You 165 716 would 167 716 almost 169 716 have 171 716 thought 173 716 he 175 716 was 177 716 digging 181 716 a 183 716 cellar 185 716 there 187 716 in 189 716 the 191 716 sea; 193 716 and 195 716 when 197 716 at 199 716 length 201 716 his 203 716 spade 205 716 struck 207 716 against 209 716 the 211 716 gaunt 213 716 ribs, 215 716 it 217 716 was 219 716 like 221 716 turning 223 716 up 225 716 old 227 716 Roman 229 716 tiles 231 716 and 233 716 pottery 235 716 buried 237 716 in 239 716 fat 241 716 English 243 716 loam. 245 716 His 247 716 boat's 249 716 crew 251 716 were 253 716 all 255 716 in 257 716 high 259 716 excitement, 261 716 eagerly 263 716 helping 265 716 their 267 716 chief, 269 716 and 271 716 looking 273 716 as 275 716 anxious 277 716 as 279 716 gold-hunters. 281 716 And 283 716 all 285 716 the 287 716 time 289 716 numberless 291 716 fowls 293 716 were 295 716 diving, 297 716 and 299 716 ducking, 301 716 and 303 716 screaming, 305 716 and 307 716 yelling, 309 716 and 311 716 fighting 313 716 around 315 716 them. 317 716 Stubb 319 716 was 321 716 beginning 323 716 to 325 716 look 327 716 disappointed, 329 716 especially 331 716 as 333 716 the 335 716 horrible 337 716 nosegay 339 716 increased, 341 716 when 343 716 suddenly 345 716 from 347 716 out 349 716 the 351 716 very 353 716 heart 355 716 of 357 716 this 359 716 plague, 361 716 there 363 716 stole 365 716 a 367 716 faint 369 716 stream 371 716 of 373 716 perfume, 375 716 which 377 716 flowed 379 716 through 381 716 the 383 716 tide 385 716 of 387 716 bad 389 716 smells 391 716 without 393 716 being 395 716 absorbed 397 716 by 399 716 it, 401 716 as 403 716 one 405 716 river 407 716 will 409 716 flow 411 716 into 413 716 and 415 716 then 417 716 along 419 716 with 421 716 another, 423 716 without 425 716 at 427 716 all 429 716 blending 431 716 with 433 716 it 435 716 for 437 716 a 439 716 time. 441 716 "I 443 716 have 445 716 it, 447 716 I 449 716 have 451 716 it," 453 716 cried 455 716 Stubb, 457 716 with 459 716 delight, 461 716 striking 463 716 something 465 716 in 467 716 the 469 716 subterranean 471 716 regions, 473 716 "a 475 716 purse! 477 716 a 479 716 purse!" 481 716 Dropping 483 716 his 485 716 spade, 487 716 he 489 716 thrust 491 716 both 493 716 hands 495 716 in, 497 716 and 499 716 drew 501 716 out 503 716 handfuls 505 716 of 507 716 something 509 716 that 511 716 looked 513 716 like 515 716 ripe 517 716 Windsor 519 716 soap, 521 716 or 523 716 rich 525 716 mottled 527 716 old 529 716 cheese; 531 716 very 533 716 unctuous 535 716 and 539 716 savory 541 716 withal. 543 716 You 545 716 might 547 716 easily 549 716 dent 551 716 it 553 716 with 555 716 your 557 716 thumb; 559 716 it 561 716 is 563 716 of 565 716 a 567 716 hue 569 716 between 571 716 yellow 573 716 and 575 716 ash 577 716 colour. 579 716 And 581 716 this, 583 716 good 585 716 friends, 587 716 is 589 716 ambergris, 591 716 worth 593 716 a 595 716 gold 597 716 guinea 599 716 an 601 716 ounce 603 716 to 605 716 any 607 716 druggist. 609 716 Some 611 716 six 613 716 handfuls 615 716 were 617 716 obtained; 619 716 but 621 716 more 623 716 was 625 716 unavoidably 627 716 lost 629 716 in 631 716 the 633 716 sea, 635 716 and 637 716 still 639 716 more, 641 716 perhaps, 643 716 might 645 716 have 647 716 been 649 716 secured 651 716 were 653 716 it 655 716 not 657 716 for 659 716 impatient 661 716 Ahab's 663 716 loud 665 716 command 667 716 to 669 716 Stubb 671 716 to 673 716 desist, 675 716 and 677 716 come 679 716 on 681 716 board, 683 716 else 685 716 the 687 716 ship 689 716 would 691 716 bid 693 716 them 695 716 good 697 716 bye. 699 716 CHAPTER 701 716 92 703 716 Ambergris. 705 716 Now 707 716 this 709 716 ambergris 711 716 is 713 716 a 715 716 very 1 717 curious 2 717 substance, 4 717 and 5 717 so 7 717 important 8 717 as 10 717 an 11 717 article 13 717 of 14 717 commerce, 16 717 that 17 717 in 19 717 1791 20 717 a 22 717 certain 23 717 Nantucket-born 25 717 Captain 26 717 Coffin 28 717 was 29 717 examined 31 717 at 32 717 the 34 717 bar 35 717 of 37 717 the 38 717 English 40 717 House 41 717 of 43 717 Commons 44 717 on 46 717 that 47 717 subject. 49 717 For 50 717 at 52 717 that 53 717 time, 55 717 and 56 717 indeed 58 717 until 59 717 a 61 717 comparatively 62 717 late 64 717 day, 65 717 the 67 717 precise 68 717 origin 70 717 of 71 717 ambergris 73 717 remained, 74 717 like 76 717 amber 77 717 itself, 79 717 a 80 717 problem 82 717 to 83 717 the 85 717 learned. 86 717 Though 88 717 the 89 717 word 91 717 ambergris 92 717 is 94 717 but 95 717 the 97 717 French 98 717 compound 100 717 for 101 717 grey 103 717 amber, 104 717 yet 106 717 the 107 717 two 109 717 substances 110 717 are 112 717 quite 113 717 distinct. 115 717 For 116 717 amber, 118 717 though 119 717 at 121 717 times 122 717 found 124 717 on 125 717 the 127 717 sea-coast, 128 717 is 130 717 also 131 717 dug 133 717 up 134 717 in 136 717 some 137 717 far 139 717 inland 140 717 soils, 142 717 whereas 143 717 ambergris 145 717 is 146 717 never 148 717 found 149 717 except 151 717 upon 152 717 the 154 717 sea. 155 717 Besides, 157 717 amber 158 717 is 160 717 a 161 717 hard, 163 717 transparent, 164 717 brittle, 166 717 odorless 167 717 substance, 169 717 used 170 717 for 172 717 mouth-pieces 173 717 to 175 717 pipes, 176 717 for 178 717 beads 179 717 and 181 717 ornaments; 182 717 but 184 717 ambergris 185 717 is 187 717 soft, 188 717 waxy, 190 717 and 191 717 so 193 717 highly 194 717 fragrant 196 717 and 197 717 spicy, 199 717 that 200 717 it 202 717 is 203 717 largely 205 717 used 206 717 in 208 717 perfumery, 209 717 in 211 717 pastiles, 212 717 precious 214 717 candles, 215 717 hair-powders, 217 717 and 218 717 pomatum. 220 717 The 221 717 Turks 223 717 use 224 717 it 226 717 in 227 717 cooking, 229 717 and 230 717 also 232 717 carry 233 717 it 235 717 to 236 717 Mecca, 238 717 for 241 717 the 242 717 same 244 717 purpose 245 717 that 247 717 frankincense 248 717 is 250 717 carried 251 717 to 253 717 St. 254 717 Peter's 256 717 in 257 717 Rome. 259 717 Some 260 717 wine 262 717 merchants 263 717 drop 265 717 a 266 717 few 268 717 grains 269 717 into 271 717 claret, 272 717 to 274 717 flavor 275 717 it. 277 717 Who 278 717 would 280 717 think, 281 717 then, 283 717 that 284 717 such 286 717 fine 287 717 ladies 289 717 and 290 717 gentlemen 292 717 should 293 717 regale 295 717 themselves 296 717 with 298 717 an 299 717 essence 301 717 found 302 717 in 304 717 the 305 717 inglorious 307 717 bowels 308 717 of 310 717 a 311 717 sick 313 717 whale! 314 717 Yet 316 717 so 317 717 it 319 717 is. 320 717 By 322 717 some, 323 717 ambergris 325 717 is 326 717 supposed 328 717 to 329 717 be 331 717 the 332 717 cause, 334 717 and 335 717 by 337 717 others 338 717 the 340 717 effect, 341 717 of 343 717 the 344 717 dyspepsia 346 717 in 347 717 the 349 717 whale. 350 717 How 352 717 to 353 717 cure 355 717 such 356 717 a 358 717 dyspepsia 359 717 it 361 717 were 362 717 hard 364 717 to 365 717 say, 367 717 unless 368 717 by 370 717 administering 371 717 three 373 717 or 374 717 four 376 717 boat 377 717 loads 379 717 of 380 717 Brandreth's 382 717 pills, 383 717 and 385 717 then 386 717 running 388 717 out 389 717 of 391 717 harm's 392 717 way, 394 717 as 395 717 laborers 397 717 do 398 717 in 400 717 blasting 401 717 rocks. 403 717 I 404 717 have 406 717 forgotten 407 717 to 409 717 say 410 717 that 412 717 there 413 717 were 415 717 found 416 717 in 418 717 this 419 717 ambergris, 421 717 certain 422 717 hard, 424 717 round, 425 717 bony 427 717 plates, 428 717 which 430 717 at 431 717 first 433 717 Stubb 434 717 thought 436 717 might 437 717 be 439 717 sailors' 440 717 trowsers 442 717 buttons; 443 717 but 445 717 it 446 717 afterwards 448 717 turned 449 717 out 451 717 that 452 717 they 454 717 were 455 717 nothing 457 717 more 458 717 than 460 717 pieces 461 717 of 463 717 small 464 717 squid 466 717 bones 467 717 embalmed 469 717 in 470 717 that 472 717 manner. 473 717 Now 475 717 that 476 717 the 479 717 incorruption 481 717 of 482 717 this 484 717 most 485 717 fragrant 487 717 ambergris 488 717 should 490 717 be 491 717 found 493 717 in 494 717 the 496 717 heart 497 717 of 499 717 such 500 717 decay; 502 717 is 503 717 this 505 717 nothing? 506 717 Bethink 508 717 thee 509 717 of 511 717 that 512 717 saying 514 717 of 515 717 St. 517 717 Paul 518 717 in 520 717 Corinthians, 521 717 about 523 717 corruption 524 717 and 526 717 incorruption; 527 717 how 529 717 that 530 717 we 532 717 are 533 717 sown 535 717 in 536 717 dishonour, 538 717 but 539 717 raised 541 717 in 542 717 glory. 544 717 And 545 717 likewise 547 717 call 548 717 to 550 717 mind 551 717 that 553 717 saying 554 717 of 556 717 Paracelsus 557 717 about 559 717 what 560 717 it 562 717 is 563 717 that 565 717 maketh 566 717 the 568 717 best 569 717 musk. 571 717 Also 572 717 forget 574 717 not 575 717 the 577 717 strange 578 717 fact 580 717 that 581 717 of 583 717 all 584 717 things 586 717 of 587 717 ill-savor, 589 717 Cologne-water, 590 717 in 592 717 its 593 717 rudimental 595 717 manufacturing 596 717 stages, 598 717 is 599 717 the 601 717 worst. 602 717 I 604 717 should 605 717 like 607 717 to 608 717 conclude 610 717 the 611 717 chapter 613 717 with 614 717 the 616 717 above 617 717 appeal, 619 717 but 620 717 cannot, 622 717 owing 623 717 to 625 717 my 626 717 anxiety 628 717 to 629 717 repel 631 717 a 632 717 charge 634 717 often 635 717 made 637 717 against 638 717 whalemen, 640 717 and 641 717 which, 643 717 in 644 717 the 646 717 estimation 647 717 of 649 717 some 650 717 already 652 717 biased 653 717 minds, 655 717 might 656 717 be 658 717 considered 659 717 as 661 717 indirectly 662 717 substantiated 664 717 by 665 717 what 667 717 has 668 717 been 670 717 said 671 717 of 673 717 the 674 717 Frenchman's 676 717 two 677 717 whales. 679 717 Elsewhere 680 717 in 682 717 this 683 717 volume 685 717 the 686 717 slanderous 688 717 aspersion 689 717 has 691 717 been 692 717 disproved, 694 717 that 695 717 the 697 717 vocation 698 717 of 700 717 whaling 701 717 is 703 717 throughout 704 717 a 706 717 slatternly, 707 717 untidy 709 717 business. 710 717 But 712 717 there 713 717 is 715 717 another 716 717 thing 1 718 to 3 718 rebut. 5 718 They 7 718 hint 9 718 that 11 718 all 13 718 whales 15 718 always 17 718 smell 19 718 bad. 21 718 Now 23 718 how 25 718 did 27 718 this 29 718 odious 31 718 stigma 33 718 originate? 35 718 I 37 718 opine, 39 718 that 41 718 it 43 718 is 45 718 plainly 47 718 traceable 49 718 to 51 718 the 53 718 first 55 718 arrival 57 718 of 59 718 the 61 718 Greenland 63 718 whaling 65 718 ships 67 718 in 69 718 London, 71 718 more 73 718 than 75 718 two 77 718 centuries 79 718 ago. 81 718 Because 83 718 those 85 718 whalemen 87 718 did 89 718 not 91 718 then, 93 718 and 95 718 do 97 718 not 99 718 now, 101 718 try 103 718 out 105 718 their 107 718 oil 109 718 at 111 718 sea 113 718 as 115 718 the 117 718 Southern 119 718 ships 121 718 have 123 718 always 125 718 done; 127 718 but 129 718 cutting 131 718 up 133 718 the 135 718 fresh 137 718 blubber 139 718 in 141 718 small 143 718 bits, 145 718 thrust 147 718 it 149 718 through 151 718 the 153 718 bung 155 718 holes 157 718 of 159 718 large 161 718 casks, 163 718 and 165 718 carry 167 718 it 169 718 home 171 718 in 173 718 that 175 718 manner; 177 718 the 179 718 shortness 181 718 of 183 718 the 185 718 season 187 718 in 189 718 those 191 718 Icy 193 718 Seas, 195 718 and 197 718 the 199 718 sudden 201 718 and 203 718 violent 205 718 storms 207 718 to 209 718 which 211 718 they 213 718 are 215 718 exposed, 217 718 forbidding 219 718 any 221 718 other 223 718 course. 225 718 The 227 718 consequence 229 718 is, 231 718 that 233 718 upon 235 718 breaking 237 718 into 239 718 the 241 718 hold, 243 718 and 245 718 unloading 247 718 one 249 718 of 251 718 these 253 718 whale 255 718 cemeteries, 257 718 in 259 718 the 261 718 Greenland 263 718 dock, 265 718 a 267 718 savor 269 718 is 271 718 given 273 718 forth 275 718 somewhat 277 718 similar 279 718 to 281 718 that 283 718 arising 285 718 from 287 718 excavating 289 718 an 291 718 old 293 718 city 295 718 grave-yard, 297 718 for 299 718 the 301 718 foundations 303 718 of 305 718 a 307 718 Lying-in-Hospital. 309 718 I 311 718 partly 313 718 surmise 315 718 also, 317 718 that 319 718 this 321 718 wicked 323 718 charge 325 718 against 327 718 whalers 329 718 may 331 718 be 333 718 likewise 335 718 imputed 337 718 to 339 718 the 341 718 existence 343 718 on 345 718 the 347 718 coast 349 718 of 351 718 Greenland, 353 718 in 355 718 former 357 718 times, 361 718 of 363 718 a 365 718 Dutch 367 718 village 369 718 called 371 718 Schmerenburgh 373 718 or 375 718 Smeerenberg, 377 718 which 379 718 latter 381 718 name 383 718 is 385 718 the 387 718 one 389 718 used 391 718 by 393 718 the 395 718 learned 397 718 Fogo 399 718 Von 401 718 Slack, 403 718 in 405 718 his 407 718 great 409 718 work 411 718 on 413 718 Smells, 415 718 a 417 718 text-book 419 718 on 421 718 that 423 718 subject. 425 718 As 427 718 its 429 718 name 431 718 imports 433 718 (smeer, 435 718 fat; 437 718 berg, 439 718 to 441 718 put 443 718 up), 445 718 this 447 718 village 449 718 was 451 718 founded 453 718 in 455 718 order 457 718 to 459 718 afford 461 718 a 463 718 place 465 718 for 467 718 the 469 718 blubber 471 718 of 473 718 the 475 718 Dutch 477 718 whale 479 718 fleet 481 718 to 483 718 be 485 718 tried 487 718 out, 489 718 without 491 718 being 493 718 taken 495 718 home 497 718 to 499 718 Holland 501 718 for 503 718 that 505 718 purpose. 507 718 It 509 718 was 511 718 a 513 718 collection 515 718 of 517 718 furnaces, 519 718 fat-kettles, 521 718 and 523 718 oil 525 718 sheds; 527 718 and 529 718 when 531 718 the 533 718 works 535 718 were 537 718 in 539 718 full 541 718 operation 543 718 certainly 545 718 gave 547 718 forth 549 718 no 551 718 very 553 718 pleasant 555 718 savor. 557 718 But 559 718 all 561 718 this 563 718 is 565 718 quite 567 718 different 569 718 with 571 718 a 573 718 South 575 718 Sea 577 718 Sperm 579 718 Whaler; 581 718 which 583 718 in 585 718 a 587 718 voyage 589 718 of 591 718 four 593 718 years 595 718 perhaps, 597 718 after 599 718 completely 601 718 filling 603 718 her 605 718 hold 607 718 with 609 718 oil, 611 718 does 613 718 not, 615 718 perhaps, 617 718 consume 619 718 fifty 621 718 days 623 718 in 625 718 the 627 718 business 629 718 of 631 718 boiling 633 718 out; 635 718 and 637 718 in 639 718 the 641 718 state 643 718 that 645 718 it 647 718 is 649 718 casked, 651 718 the 653 718 oil 655 718 is 657 718 nearly 659 718 scentless. 661 718 The 663 718 truth 665 718 is, 667 718 that 669 718 living 671 718 or 673 718 dead, 675 718 if 677 718 but 679 718 decently 681 718 treated, 683 718 whales 685 718 as 687 718 a 689 718 species 691 718 are 693 718 by 695 718 no 697 718 means 699 718 creatures 701 718 of 703 718 ill 705 718 odor; 707 718 nor 709 718 can 711 718 whalemen 713 718 be 715 718 recognised, 717 718 as 1 719 the 2 719 people 3 719 of 4 719 the 5 719 middle 6 719 ages 7 719 affected 8 719 to 9 719 detect 10 719 a 11 719 Jew 12 719 in 13 719 the 14 719 company, 15 719 by 16 719 the 17 719 nose. 18 719 Nor 19 719 indeed 20 719 can 21 719 the 22 719 whale 23 719 possibly 24 719 be 25 719 otherwise 26 719 than 27 719 fragrant, 28 719 when, 29 719 as 30 719 a 31 719 general 32 719 thing, 33 719 he 34 719 enjoys 35 719 such 36 719 high 37 719 health; 38 719 taking 39 719 abundance 40 719 of 41 719 exercise; 42 719 always 43 719 out 44 719 of 45 719 doors; 46 719 though, 47 719 it 48 719 is 49 719 true, 50 719 seldom 51 719 in 52 719 the 53 719 open 54 719 air. 55 719 I 56 719 say, 57 719 that 58 719 the 59 719 motion 60 719 of 61 719 a 62 719 Sperm 63 719 Whale's 64 719 flukes 65 719 above 66 719 water 67 719 dispenses 68 719 a 69 719 perfume, 70 719 as 71 719 when 72 719 a 73 719 musk-scented 74 719 lady 75 719 rustles 76 719 her 77 719 dress 78 719 in 79 719 a 80 719 warm 81 719 parlor. 82 719 What 83 719 then 84 719 shall 85 719 I 86 719 liken 87 719 the 88 719 Sperm 89 719 Whale 90 719 to 91 719 for 92 719 fragrance, 93 719 considering 94 719 his 95 719 magnitude? 96 719 Must 97 719 it 98 719 not 99 719 be 100 719 to 101 719 that 102 719 famous 103 719 elephant, 104 719 with 105 719 jewelled 106 719 tusks, 107 719 and 108 719 redolent 109 719 with 110 719 myrrh, 111 719 which 112 719 was 113 719 led 114 719 out 115 719 of 116 719 an 117 719 Indian 118 719 town 119 719 to 120 719 do 121 719 honour 122 719 to 123 719 Alexander 124 719 the 125 719 Great? 126 719 CHAPTER 127 719 93 128 719 The 129 719 Castaway. 130 719 It 131 719 was 132 719 but 133 719 some 134 719 few 135 719 days 136 719 after 137 719 encountering 138 719 the 139 719 Frenchman, 140 719 that 141 719 a 142 719 most 143 719 significant 144 719 event 145 719 befell 146 719 the 147 719 most 148 719 insignificant 149 719 of 150 719 the 151 719 Pequod's 152 719 crew; 153 719 an 154 719 event 155 719 most 156 719 lamentable; 157 719 and 158 719 which 159 719 ended 160 719 in 161 719 providing 162 719 the 163 719 sometimes 164 719 madly 165 719 merry 166 719 and 167 719 predestinated 168 719 craft 169 719 with 170 719 a 171 719 living 172 719 and 173 719 ever 174 719 accompanying 175 719 prophecy 176 719 of 177 719 whatever 178 719 shattered 179 719 sequel 180 719 might 181 719 prove 182 719 her 183 719 own. 184 719 Now, 185 719 in 186 719 the 187 719 whale 188 719 ship, 189 719 it 190 719 is 191 719 not 192 719 every 193 719 one 194 719 that 195 719 goes 196 719 in 197 719 the 198 719 boats. 199 719 Some 200 719 few 201 719 hands 202 719 are 203 719 reserved 204 719 called 205 719 ship-keepers, 206 719 whose 207

a 223 719 general 224 719 thing, 225 719 these 226 719 ship-keepers 227 719 are 228 719 as 229 719 hardy 230 719 fellows 231 719 as 232 719 the 233 719 men 234 719 comprising 235 719 the 236 719 boats' 237 719 crews. 238 719 But 239 719 if 240 719 there 241 719 happen 242 719 to 243 719 be 244 719 an 245 719 unduly 246 719 slender, 247 719 clumsy, 248 719 or 249 719 timorous 250 719 wight 251

267 719 the 268 719 Pequod 269 719 with 270 719 the 271 719 little 272 719 negro 273 719 Pippin 274 719 by 275 719 nick-name, 276 719 Pip 277 719 by 278 719 abbreviation. 279 719 Poor 280 719 Pip! 281 719 ye 282 719 have 283 719 heard 284 719 of 285 719 him 286 719 before; 287 719 ye 288 719 must 289 719 remember 290 719 his 291 719 tambourine 292 719 on 293 719 that 294 719 dramatic 295 719 midnight, 296 719 so 297 719 gloomy-jolly. 298 719 In 299 719 outer 300 719 aspect, 301 719 Pip 302 719 and 303 719 Dough-Boy 304 719 made 305 719 a 306 719 match, 307 719 like 308 719 a 309 719 black

719 one 325 719 eccentric 326 719 span. 327 719 But 328 719 while 329 719 hapless 330 719 Dough-Boy 331 719 was 332 719 by 333 719 nature 334 719 dull 335 719 and 336 719 torpid 337 719 in 338 719 his 339 719 intellects, 340 719 Pip, 341 719 though 342 719 over 343 719 tender-hearted, 344 719 was 345 719 at 346 719 bottom 347 719 very 348 719 bright, 349 719 with 350 719 that 351 719 pleasant, 352

But 423 719 Pip 424 719 loved 425 719 life, 426 719 and 427 719 all 428 719 life's 429 719 peaceable 430 719 securities; 431 719 so 432 719 that 433 719 the 434 719 panic-striking 435 719 business 436

464 719 in 465 719 the 466 719 end 467 719 was 468 719 destined 469 719 to 470 719 be 471 719 luridly 472 719 illumined 473 719 by 474 719 strange 475 719 wild 476 719 fires, 477 719 that 478 719 fictitiously 479 719 showed 480 719 him 481 719 off 482 719 to 483 719 ten 484 719 times 485 719 the 486 719 natural 487 719 lustre 488 719 with 489 719 which 490 719 in 491 719 his 492 719 native 493

522 719 one 523 719 star-belled 524 719 tambourine. 525 719 So, 526 719 though 527 719 in 528 719 the 529 719 clear 530 719 air 531 719 of 532 719 day, 533 719 suspended 534 719 against 535 719 a 536

719 from 607 719 the 608 719 King 609 719 of 610 719 Hell. 611 719 But 612 719 let 613 719 us 614 719 to 615 719 the 616 719 story. 617 719 It 618 719 came 619 719 to 620 719 pass, 621 719 that 622 719 in 623 719 the 624 719 ambergris 625 719 affair 626 719 Stubb's 627 719 after-oarsman 628 719 chanced 629 719 so 630 719 to 631 719 sprain 632 719 his 633 719 hand, 634 719 as 635 719 for 636 719 a 637 719 time 638 719 to 639 719 become 640 719 quite 641 719 maimed; 642 719 and, 643 719 temporarily, 644 719 Pip 645 719 was 646 719 put 647 719 into 648 719 his 649 719 place. 650 719 The 651 719 first 652 719 time 653 719 Stubb 654 719 lowered 655 719 with 656 719 him, 657 719 Pip 658 719 evinced 659 719 much 660 719 nervousness; 661 719 but 662 719 happily, 663 719 for 664 719 that 665 719 time, 666 719 escaped 667 719 close 668 719 contact 669 719 with 670 719 the 671 719 whale; 672 719 and 673 719 therefore 674 719 came 675 719 off 676 719 not 677 719 altogether 678 719 discreditably; 679 719 though 680 719 Stubb 681 719 observing 682 719 him, 683 719 took 684 719 care, 685 719 afterwards, 686 719 to 687 719 exhort 688 719 him 689 719 to 690 719 cherish 691 719 his 692 719 courageousness 693 719 to 694 719 the 695 719 utmost, 696 719 for 697 719 he 698 719 might 699 719 often 700 719 find 701 719 it 702 719 needful. 703 719 Now 704 719 upon 705 719 the 706 719 second 707 719 lowering, 708 719 the 709 719 boat 710 719 paddled 711 719 upon 712 719 the 713 719 whale; 714 719 and 715 719 as 716 719 the 717 719 fish 718 719 received 1 720 the 7 720 darted 11 720 iron, 13 720 it 17 720 gave 19 720 its 23 720 customary 29 720 rap, 31 720 which 37 720 happened, 41 720 in 43 720 this 47 720 instance, 49 720 to 53 720 be 59 720 right 61 720 under 67 720 poor 71 720 Pip's 73 720 seat. 77 720 The 79 720 involuntary 83 720 consternation 89 720 of 91 720 the 97 720 moment 101 720 caused 103 720 him 107 720 to 109 720 leap, 113 720 paddle 119 720 in 121 720 hand, 127 720 out 131 720 of 133 720 the 137 720 boat; 139 720 and 143 720 in 149 720 such 151 720 a 157 720 way, 161 720 that 163 720 part 167 720 of 169 720 the 173 720 slack 179 720 whale 181 720 line 187 720 coming 191 720 against 193 720 his 197 720 chest, 199 720 he 203 720 breasted 209 720 it 211 720 overboard 217 720 with 221 720 him, 223 720 so 227 720 as 229 720 to 233 720 become 239 720 entangled 241 720 in 247 720 it, 251 720 when 253 720 at 257 720 last 259 720 plumping 263 720 into 269 720 the 271 720 water. 277 720 That 281 720 instant 283 720 the 287 720 stricken 289 720 whale 293 720 started 299 720 on 301 720 a 307 720 fierce 311 720 run, 313 720 the 317 720 line 319 720 swiftly 323 720 straightened; 329 720 and 331 720 presto! 337 720 poor 341 720 Pip 343 720 came 347 720 all 349 720 foaming 353 720 up 359 720 to 361 720 the 367 720 chocks 371 720 of 373 720 the 377 720 boat, 379 720 remorselessly 383 720 dragged 389 720 there 391 720 by 397 720 the 401 720 line, 403 720 which 407 720 had 409 720 taken 413 720 several 419 720 turns 421 720 around 427 720 his 431 720 chest 433 720 and 437 720 neck. 439 720 Tashtego 443 720 stood 449 720 in 451 720 the 457 720 bows. 461 720 He 463 720 was 467 720 full 469 720 of 473 720 the 479 720 fire 481 720 of 487 720 the 491 720 hunt. 493 720 He 497 720 hated 499 720 Pip 503 720 for 509 720 a 511 720 poltroon. 517 720 Snatching 521 720 the 523 720 boat-knife 527 720 from 529 720 its 533 720 sheath, 539 720 he 541 720 suspended 547 720 its 551 720 sharp 553 720 edge 557 720 over 559 720 the 563 720 line, 569 720 and 571 720 turning 577 720 towards 581 720 Stubb, 583 720 exclaimed 587 720 interrogatively, 589 720 "Cut?" 593 720 Meantime 599 720 Pip's 601 720 blue, 607 720 choked 611 720 face 613 720 plainly 617 720 looked, 619 720 Do, 623 720 for 629 720 God's 631 720 sake! 637 720 All 641 720 passed 643 720 in 647 720 a 649 720 flash. 653 720 In 659 720 less 661 720 than 667 720 half 671 720 a 673 720 minute, 677 720 this 679 720 entire 683 720 thing 689 720 happened. 691 720 "Damn 697 720 him, 701 720 cut!" 703 720 roared 707 720 Stubb; 709 720 and 713 720 so 719 720 the 1 721 whale 2 721 was 3 721 lost 4 721 and 5 721 Pip 6 721 was 8 721 saved. 9 721 So 10 721 soon 11 721 as 12 721 he 13 721 recovered 15 721 himself, 16 721 the 17 721 poor 18 721 little 19 721 negro 20 721 was 22 721 assailed 23 721 by 24 721 yells 25 721 and 26 721 execrations 27 721 from 29 721 the 30 721 crew. 31 721 Tranquilly 32 721 permitting 33 721 these 34 721 irregular 36 721 cursings 37 721 to 38 721 evaporate, 39 721 Stubb 40 721 then 41 721 in 43 721 a 44 721 plain, 45 721 business-like, 46 721 but 47 721 still 48 721 half 50 721 humorous 51 721 manner, 52 721 cursed 53 721 Pip 54 721 officially; 55 721 and 57 721 that 58 721 done, 59 721 unofficially 60 721 gave 61 721 him 62 721 much 64 721 wholesome 65 721 advice. 66 721 The 67 721 substance 68 721 was, 69 721 Never 71 721 jump 72 721 from 73 721 a 74 721 boat, 75 721 Pip, 76 721 except--but 78 721 all 79 721 the 80 721 rest 81 721 was 82 721 indefinite, 83 721 as 85 721 the 86 721 soundest 87 721 advice 88 721 ever 89 721 is. 90 721 Now, 92 721 in 93 721 general, 94 721 STICK 95 721 TO 96 721 THE 97 721 BOAT, 99 721 is 100 721 your 101 721 true 102 721 motto 104 721 in 106 721 whaling; 107 721 but 108 721 cases 109 721 will 110 721 sometimes 111 721 happen 113 721 when 114 721 LEAP 115 721 FROM 116 721 THE 117 721 BOAT, 118 721 is 120 721 still 121 721 better. 122 721 Moreover, 123 721 as 124 721 if 125 721 perceiving 127 721 at 128 721 last 129 721 that 130 721 if 131 721 he 132 721 should 134 721 give 135 721 undiluted 136 721 conscientious 137 721 advice 138 721 to 139 721 Pip, 141 721 he 142 721 would 143 721 be 144 721 leaving 145 721 him 146 721 too 148 721 wide 149 721 a 150 721 margin 151 721 to 152 721 jump 153 721 in 155 721 for 156 721 the 157 721 future; 158 721 Stubb 159 721 suddenly 160 721 dropped 162 721 all 163 721 advice, 164 721 and 165 721 concluded 166 721 with 167 721 a 169 721 peremptory 170 721 command, 171 721 "Stick 172 721 to 173 721 the 174 721 boat, 176 721 Pip, 177 721 or 178 721 by 179 721 the 180 721 Lord, 181 721 I 183 721 won't 184 721 pick 185 721 you 186 721 up 187 721 if 188 721 you 190 721 jump; 191 721 mind 192 721 that. 193 721 We 194 721 can't 195 721 afford 197 721 to 198 721 lose 199 721 whales 200 721 by 201 721 the 202 721 likes 204 721 of 205 721 you; 207 721 a 208 721 whale 209 721 would 211 721 sell 212 721 for 213 721 thirty 214 721 times 215 721 what 216 721 you 218 721 would, 219 721 Pip, 220 721 in 221 721 Alabama. 222 721 Bear 223 721 that 225 721 in 226 721 mind, 227 721 and 228 721 don't 229 721 jump 230 721 any 232 721 more." 233 721 Hereby 234 721 perhaps 235 721 Stubb 236 721 indirectly 237 721 hinted, 239 721 that 240 721 though 241 721 man 242 721 loved 243 721 his 244 721 fellow, 246 721 yet 247 721 man 248 721 is 249 721 a 250 721 money-making 251 721 animal, 253 721 which 254 721 propensity 255 721 too 256 721 often 257 721 interferes 258 721 with 260 721 his 261 721 benevolence. 262 721 But 263 721 we 264 721 are 265 721 all 267 721 in 268 721 the 269 721 hands 270 721 of 271 721 the 272 721 Gods; 274 721 and 275 721 Pip 276 721 jumped 277 721 again. 278 721 It 279 721 was 281 721 under 282 721 very 283 721 similar 284 721 circumstances 285 721 to 286 721 the 288 721 first 289 721 performance; 290 721 but 291 721 this 292 721 time 293 721 he 295 721 did 296 721 not 297 721 breast 298 721 out 299 721 the 300 721 line; 302 721 and 303 721 hence, 304 721 when 305 721 the 306 721 whale 307 721 started 310 721 to 311 721 run, 312 721 Pip 313 721 was 314 721 left 316 721 behind 317 721 on 318 721 the 319 721 sea, 320 721 like 321 721 a 323 721 hurried 324 721 traveller's 325 721 trunk. 326 721 Alas! 327 721 Stubb 328 721 was 330 721 but 331 721 too 332 721 true 333 721 to 334 721 his 335 721 word. 337 721 It 338 721 was 339 721 a 340 721 beautiful, 341 721 bounteous, 342 721 blue 344 721 day; 345 721 the 346 721 spangled 347 721 sea 348 721 calm 349 721 and 351 721 cool, 352 721 and 353 721 flatly 354 721 stretching 355 721 away, 356 721 all 358 721 round, 359 721 to 360 721 the 361 721 horizon, 362 721 like 363 721 gold-beater's 365 721 skin 366 721 hammered 367 721 out 368 721 to 369 721 the 370 721 extremest. 372 721 Bobbing 373 721 up 374 721 and 375 721 down 376 721 in 377 721 that 379 721 sea, 380 721 Pip's 381 721 ebon 382 721 head 383 721 showed 384 721 like 386 721 a 387 721 head 388 721 of 389 721 cloves. 390 721 No 391 721 boat-knife 393 721 was 394 721 lifted 395 721 when 396 721 he 397 721 fell 398 721 so 400 721 rapidly 401 721 astern. 402 721 Stubb's 403 721 inexorable 404 721 back 405 721 was 407 721 turned 408 721 upon 409 721 him; 410 721 and 411 721 the 414 721 whale 415 721 was 416 721 winged. 417 721 In 418 721 three 419 721 minutes, 421 721 a 422 721 whole 423 721 mile 424 721 of 425 721 shoreless 426 721 ocean 428 721 was 429 721 between 430 721 Pip 431 721 and 432 721 Stubb. 433 721 Out 435 721 from 436 721 the 437 721 centre 438 721 of 439 721 the 440 721 sea, 442 721 poor 443 721 Pip 444 721 turned 445 721 his 446 721 crisp, 447 721 curling, 449 721 black 450 721 head 451 721 to 452 721 the 453 721 sun, 454 721 another 456 721 lonely 457 721 castaway, 458 721 though 459 721 the 460 721 loftiest 461 721 and 463 721 the 464 721 brightest. 465 721 Now, 466 721 in 467 721 calm 468 721 weather, 470 721 to 471 721 swim 472 721 in 473 721 the 474 721 open 475 721 ocean 477 721 is 478 721 as 479 721 easy 480 721 to 481 721 the 482 721 practised 484 721 swimmer 485 721 as 486 721 to 487 721 ride 488 721 in 489 721 a 491 721 spring-carriage 492 721 ashore. 493 721 But 494 721 the 495 721 awful 496 721 lonesomeness 498 721 is 499 721 intolerable. 500 721 The 501 721 intense 502 721 concentration 503 721 of 505 721 self 506 721 in 507 721 the 508 721 middle 509 721 of 510 721 such 512 721 a 513 721 heartless 514 721 immensity, 516 721 my 517 721 God! 519 721 who 520 721 can 521 721 tell 522 721 it? 523 721 Mark, 524 721 how 526 721 when 527 721 sailors 528 721 in 529 721 a 530 721 dead 531 721 calm 533 721 bathe 534 721 in 535 721 the 536 721 open 537 721 sea--mark 538 721 how 540 721 closely 541 721 they 542 721 hug 543 721 their 544 721 ship 545 721 and 547 721 only 548 721 coast 549 721 along 550 721 her 551 721 sides. 552 721 But 554 721 had 555 721 Stubb 556 721 really 557 721 abandoned 558 721 the 559 721 poor 561 721 little 562 721 negro 563 721 to 564 721 his 565 721 fate? 566 721 No; 568 721 he 569 721 did 570 721 not 571 721 mean 572 721 to, 573 721 at 575 721 least. 576 721 Because 577 721 there 578 721 were 579 721 two 580 721 boats 582 721 in 583 721 his 584 721 wake, 585 721 and 586 721 he 587 721 supposed, 589 721 no 590 721 doubt, 591 721 that 592 721 they 593 721 would 594 721 of 596 721 course 597 721 come 598 721 up 599 721 to 600 721 Pip 601 721 very 603 721 quickly, 604 721 and 605 721 pick 606 721 him 607 721 up; 608 721 though, 610 721 indeed, 611 721 such 612 721 considerations 613 721 towards 614 721 oarsmen 615 721 jeopardized 617 721 through 619 721 their 620 721 own 621 721 timidity, 622 721 is 624 721 not 625 721 always 626 721 manifested 627 721 by 628 721 the 629 721 hunters 631 721 in 632 721 all 633 721 similar 634 721 instances; 635 721 and 636 721 such 638 721 instances 639 721 not 640 721 unfrequently 641 721 occur; 642 721 almost 643 721

supplies 544 727 his 545 727 own 546 727 fuel 547 727 and 548 727 burns 549 727 by 550 727 his 551 727 own 552 727 body. 553 727 Would 554 727 that 555 727 he 556 727 consumed 557 727 his 558 727 own 559 727 smoke! 560 727 for 561 727 his 562 727 smoke 563 727 is 564 727 horrible 565 727 to 566 727 inhale, 567 727 and 568 727 inhale 569 727 it 570 727 you 571 727 must, 572 727 and 573 727 not 574 727 only 575 727 that, 576 727 but 577 727 you 578 727 must 579 727 live 580 727 in 581 727 it 582 727 for 583 727 the 584 727 time. 585 727 It 586 727 has 587 727 an 588 727 unspeakable, 589 727 wild, 590 727 Hindoo 591 727 odor 592 727 about 593 727 it, 594 727 such 595 727 as 596 727 may 597 727 lurk 598 727 in 599 727 the 600 727 vicinity 601 727 of 602 727 funereal 603 727 pyres. 604 727 It 605 727 smells 606 727 like 607 727 the 608 727 left 609 727 wing 610 727 of 611 727 the 612 727 day 613 727 of 614 727 judgment; 615 727 it 616 727 is 617 727 an 618 727 argument 619 727 for 620 727 the 621 727 pit. 622 727 By 623 727 midnight 624 727 the 625 727 works 626 727 were 627 727 in 628 727 full 629 727 operation. 630 727 We 631 727 were 632 727 clear 633 727 from 634 727 the 635 727 carcase; 636 727 sail 637 727 had 638 727 been 639 727 made; 640 727 the 641 727 wind 642 727 was 643 727 freshening; 644 727 the 645 727 wild 646 727 ocean 647 727 darkness 648 727 was 649 727 intense. 650 727 But 651 727 that 652 727 darkness 653 727 was 654 727 licked 655 727 up 656 727 by 657 727 the 658 727 fierce 659 727 flames, 660 727 which 661 727 at 662 727 intervals 663 727 forked 664 727 forth 665 727 from 666 727 the 667 727 sooty 668 727 flues, 669 727 and 670 727 illuminated 671 727 every 672 727 lofty 673 727 rope 674 727 in 675 727 the 676 727 rigging, 677 727 as 678 727 with 679 727 the 680 727 famed 681 727 Greek 682 727 fire. 683 727 The 684 727 burning 685 727 ship 686 727 drove 687 727 on, 688 727 as 689 727 if 690 727 remorselessly 691 727 commissioned 692 727 to 693 727 some 694 727 vengeful 695 727 deed. 696 727 So 697 727 the 698 727 pitch 699 727 and 700 727 sulphur-freighted 701 727 brigs 702 727 of 703 727 the 704 727 bold 705 727 Hydriote, 706 727 Canaris, 707 727 issuing 708 727 from 709 727 their 710 727 midnight 711 727 harbors, 712 727 with 713 727 broad 714 727 sheets 715 727 of 716 727 flame 717 727 for 718 727 sails, 719 727 bore 720 727 down 721 727 upon 722 727 the 723 727 Turkish 724 727 frigates, 725 727 and 726 727 folded 1 728 them 3 728 in 5 728 conflagrations. 9 728 The 11 728 hatch, 15 728 removed 17 728 from 19 728 the 23 728 top 25 728 of 27 728 the 29 728 works, 31 728 now 33 728 afforded 37 728 a 41 728 wide 43 728 hearth 45 728 in 47 728 front 51 728 of 53 728 them. 55 728 Standing 57 728 on 59 728 this 61 728 were 67 728 the 69 728 Tartarean 71 728 shapes 73 728 of 75 728 the 79 728 pagan 81 728 harpooneers, 83 728 always 85 728 the 87 728 whale-ship's 89 728 stokers. 93 728 With 95 728 huge 97 728 pronged 99 728 poles 101 728 they 103 728 pitched 107 728 hissing 109 728 masses 111 728 of 113 728 blubber 115 728 into 121 728 the 123 728 scalding 125 728 pots, 127 728 or 129 728 stirred 131 728 up 135 728 the 137 728 fires 139 728 beneath, 141 728 till 145 728 the 149 728 snaky 151 728 flames 153 728 darted, 155 728 curling, 157 728 out 159 728 of 163 728 the 165 728 doors 167 728 to 171 728 catch 173 728 them 177 728 by 179 728 the 181 728 feet. 183 728 The 185 728 smoke 187 728 rolled 191 728 away 193 728 in 197 728 sullen 199 728 heaps. 201 728 To 205 728 every 207 728 pitch 209 728 of 211 728 the 213 728 ship 215 728 there 219 728 was 223 728 a 225 728 pitch 227 728 of 229 728 the 233 728 boiling 235 728 oil, 237 728 which 239 728 seemed 241 728 all 243 728 eagerness 249 728 to 251 728 leap 253 728 into 255 728 their 257 728 faces. 261 728 Opposite 263 728 the 265 728 mouth 267 728 of 269 728 the 271 728 works, 275 728 on 277 728 the 279 728 further 281 728 side 283 728 of 285 728 the 289 728 wide 291 728 wooden 293 728 hearth, 295 728 was 297 728 the 303 728 windlass. 305 728 This 307 728 served 309 728 for 311 728 a 313 728 sea-sofa. 317 728 Here 319 728 lounged 321 728 the 323 728 watch, 327 728 when 331 728 not 333 728 otherwise 335 728 employed, 337 728 looking 339 728 into 341 728 the 345 728 red 347 728 heat 349 728 of 353 728 the 355 728 fire, 359 728 till 361 728 their 363 728 eyes 365 728 felt 367 728 scorched 369 728 in 373 728 their 375 728 heads. 379 728 Their 381 728 tawny 383 728 features, 387 728 now 389 728 all 391 728 begrimed 393 728 with 395 728 smoke 397 728 and 401 728 sweat, 405 728 their 407 728 matted 409 728 beards, 411 728 and 415 728 the 417 728 contrasting 419 728 barbaric 421 728 brilliancy 423 728 of 425 728 their 431 728 teeth, 433 728 all 435 728 these 437 728 were 439 728 strangely 443 728 revealed 445 728 in 447 728 the 449 728 capricious 451 728 emblazonings 453 728 of 457 728 the 459 728 works. 461 728 As 463 728 they 465 728 narrated 467 728 to 471 728 each 473 728 other 475 728 their 477 728 unholy 479 728 adventures, 485 728 their 487 728 tales 489 728 of 491 728 terror 493 728 told 495 728 in 499 728 words 501 728 of 503 728 mirth; 505 728 as 509 728 their 513 728 uncivilized 515 728 laughter 517 728 forked 519 728 upwards 521 728 out 523 728 of 527 728 them, 529 728 like 531 728 the 535 728 flames 537 728 from 541 728 the 543 728 furnace; 545 728 as 547 728 to 549 728 and 551 728 fro, 555 728 in 557 728 their 561 728 front, 563 728 the 565 728 harpooneers 569 728 wildly 571 728 gesticulated 573 728 with 575 728 their 577 728 huge 579 728 pronged 583 728 forks 587 728 and 589 728 dippers; 591 728 as 593 728 the 597 728 wind 599 728 howled 601 728 on, 603 728 and 605 728 the 607 728 sea 613 728 leaped, 615 728 and 617 728 the 619 728 ship 621 728 groaned 625 728 and 627 728 dived, 629 728 and 631 728 yet 633 728 steadfastly 635 728 shot 639 728 her 641 728 red 643 728 hell 645 728 further 647 728 and 649 728 further 653 728 into 655 728 the 657 728 blackness 659 728 of 661 728 the 667 728 sea 669 728 and 671 728 the 673 728 night, 675 728 and 677 728 scornfully 681 728 champed 683 728 the 685 728 white 687 728 bone 691 728 in 695 728 her 697 728 mouth, 699 728 and 701 728 viciously 703 728 spat 705 728 round 709 728 her 711 728 on 713 728 all 717 728 sides; 719 728 then 723 728 the 725 728 rushing 727 728 Pequod, 1 729 freighted 2 729 with 4 729 savages, 5 729 and 7 729 laden 8 729 with 10 729 fire, 11 729 and 13 729 burning 14 729 a 16 729 corpse, 17 729 and 19 729 plunging 20 729 into 22 729 that 23 729 blackness 25 729 of 26 729 darkness, 28 729 seemed 29 729 the 31 729 material 32 729 counterpart 34 729 of 35 729 her 37 729 monomaniac 38 729 commander's 40 729 soul. 41 729 So 43 729 seemed 44 729 it 46 729 to 47 729 me, 49 729 as 50 729 I 52 729 stood 53 729 at 55 729 her 56 729 helm, 58 729 and 59 729 for 61 729 long 62 729 hours 64 729 silently 65 729 guided 67 729 the 68 729 way 70 729 of 71 729 this 73 729 fire-ship 74 729 on 76 729 the 77 729 sea. 79 729 Wrapped, 80 729 for 82 729 that 83 729 interval, 85 729 in 86 729 darkness 88 729 myself, 89 729 I 91 729 but 92 729 the 94 729 better 95 729 saw 97 729 the 98 729 redness, 100 729 the 101 729 madness, 103 729 the 104 729 ghastliness 106 729 of 107 729 others. 109 729 The 110 729 continual 112 729 sight 113 729 of 115 729 the 116 729 fiend 118 729 shapes 119 729 before 121 729 me, 122 729 capering 124 729 half 125 729 in 127 729 smoke 128 729 and 130 729 half 131 729 in 133 729 fire, 134 729 these 136 729 at 137 729 last 139 729 begat 140 729 kindred 142 729 visions 143 729 in 145 729 my 146 729 soul, 148 729 so 149 729 soon 151 729 as 152 729 I 154 729 began 155 729 to 157 729 yield 158 729 to 160 729 that 161 729 unaccountable 163 729 drowsiness 164 729 which 166 729 ever 167 729 would 169 729 come 170 729 over 172 729 me 173 729 at 175 729 a 176 729 midnight 178 729 helm. 179 729 But 181 729 that 182 729 night, 184 729 in 185 729 particular, 187 729 a 188 729 strange 190 729 (and 191 729 ever 193 729 since 194 729 inexplicable) 196 729 thing 197 729 occurred 199 729 to 200 729 me. 202 729 Starting 203 729 from 205 729 a 206 729 brief 208 729 standing 209 729 sleep, 211 729 I 212 729 was 214 729 horribly 215 729 conscious 217 729 of 218 729 something 220 729 fatally 221 729 wrong. 223 729 The 224 729 jaw-bone 226 729 tiller 227 729 smote 229 729 my 230 729 side, 232 729 which 233 729 leaned 235 729 against 236 729 it; 238 729 in 239 729 my 241 729 ears 242 729 was 244 729 the 245 729 low 247 729 hum 248 729 of 250 729 sails, 251 729 just 253 729 beginning 254 729 to 256 729 shake 257 729 in 259 729 the 260 729 wind; 262 729 I 263 729 thought 265 729 my 266 729 eyes 268 729 were 269 729 open; 271 729 I 272 729 was 274 729 half 275 729 conscious 277 729 of 278 729 putting 280 729 my 281 729 fingers 283 729 to 284 729 the 286 729 lids 287 729 and 289 729 mechanically 290 729 stretching 292 729 them 293 729 still 295 729 further 296 729 apart. 298 729 But, 299 729 spite 301 729 of 302 729 all 304 729 this, 305 729 I 307 729 could 308 729 see 310 729 no 311 729 compass 313 729 before 314 729 me 316 729 to 317 729 steer 319 729 by; 320 729 though 322 729 it 323 729 seemed 325 729 but 326 729 a 328 729 minute 329 729 since 331 729 I 332 729 had 334 729 been 335 729 watching 337 729 the 338 729 card, 340 729 by 341 729 the 343 729 steady 344 729 binnacle 346 729 lamp 347 729 illuminating 349 729 it. 350 729 Nothing 352 729 seemed 353 729 before 355 729 me 356 729 but 358 729 a 359 729 jet 361 729 gloom, 362 729 now 364 729 and 365 729 then 367 729 made 368 729 ghastly 370 729 by 371 729 flashes 373 729 of 374 729 redness. 376 729 Uppermost 377 729 was 379 729 the 380 729 impression, 382 729 that 383 729 whatever 385 729 swift, 386 729 rushing 388 729 thing 389 729 I 391 729 stood 392 729 on 394 729 was 395 729 not 397 729 so 398 729 much 400 729 bound 401 729 to 403 729 any 404 729 haven 406 729 ahead 407 729 as 409 729 rushing 410 729 from 412 729 all 413 729 havens 415 729 astern. 416 729 A 418 729 stark, 419 729 bewildered 421 729 feeling, 422 729 as 424 729 of 425 729 death, 427 729 came 428 729 over 430 729 me. 431 729 Convulsively 433 729 my 434 729 hands 436 729 grasped 437 729 the 439 729 tiller, 440 729 but 442 729 with 443 729 the 445 729 crazy 446 729 conceit 448 729 that 449 729 the 451 729 tiller 452 729 was, 454 729 somehow, 455 729 in 457 729 some 458 729 enchanted 460 729 way, 461 729 inverted. 463 729 My 464 729 God! 466 729 what 467 729 is 469 729 the 470 729 matter 472 729 with 473 729 me? 475 729 thought 476 729 I. 478 729 Lo! 479 729 in 481 729 my 482 729 brief 484 729 sleep 485 729 I 487 729 had 488 729 turned 490 729 myself 491 729 about, 493 729 and 494 729 was 496 729 fronting 497 729 the 499 729 ship's 500 729 stern, 502 729 with 503 729 my 505 729 back 506 729 to 508 729 her 509 729 prow 511 729 and 512 729 the 514 729 compass. 515 729 In 517 729 an 518 729 instant 520 729 I 521 729 faced 523 729 back, 524 729 just 526 729 in 527 729 time 529 729 to 530 729 prevent 532 729 the 533 729 vessel 535 729 from 536 729 flying 538 729 up 539 729 into 541 729 the 542 729 wind, 544 729 and 545 729 very 547 729 probably 548 729 capsizing 550 729 her. 551 729 How 553 729 glad 554 729 and 556 729 how 557 729 grateful 559 729 the 560 729 relief 562 729 from 563 729 this 565 729 unnatural 566 729 hallucination 568 729 of 569 729 the 571 729 night, 572 729 and 574 729 the 575 729 fatal 577 729 contingency 578 729 of 580 729 being 581 729 brought 583 729 by 584 729 the 586 729 lee! 587 729 Look 589 729 not 590 729 too 592 729 long 593 729 in 595 729 the 596 729 face 598 729 of 599 729 the 601 729 fire, 602 729 O 604 729 man! 605 729 Never 607 729 dream 608 729 with 610 729 thy 611 729 hand 613 729 on 614 729 the 616 729 helm! 617 729 Turn 619 729 not 620 729 thy 622 729 back 623 729 to 625 729 the 626 729 compass; 628 729 accept 629 729 the 631 729 first 632 729 hint 634 729 of 635 729 the 637 729 hitching 638 729 tiller; 640 729 believe 641 729 not 643 729 the 644 729 artificial 646 729 fire, 647 729 when 649 729 its 650 729 redness 652 729 makes 653 729 all 655 729 things 656 729 look 658 729 ghastly. 659 729 To-morrow, 661 729 in 662 729 the 664 729 natural 665 729 sun, 667 729 the 668 729 skies 670 729 will 671 729 be 673 729 bright; 674 729 those 676 729 who 677 729 glared 679 729 like 680 729 devils 682 729 in 683 729 the 685 729 forking 686 729 flames, 688 729 the 689 729 morn 691 729 will 692 729 show 694 729 in 695 729 far 697 729 other, 698 729 at 700 729 least 701 729 gentler, 703 729 relief; 704 729 the 706 729 glorious, 707 729 golden, 709 729 glad 710 729 sun, 712 729 the 713 729 only 715 729 true 716 729 lamp--all 718 729 others 719 729 but 721 729 liars! 722 729 Nevertheless 724 729 the 725 729 sun 727 729 hides 728 729 not 1 730 Virginia's 3 730 Dismal 7 730 Swamp, 9 730 nor 11 730 Rome's 13 730 accursed 17 730 Campagna, 19 730 nor 21 730 wide 23 730 Sahara, 27 730 nor 29 730 all 31 730 the 33 730 millions 37 730 of 39 730 miles 41 730 of 43 730 deserts 47 730 and 49 730 of 51 730 griefs 53 730 beneath 57 730 the 59 730 moon. 61 730 The 63 730 sun 67 730 hides 69 730 not 71 730 the 77 730 ocean, 79 730 which 81 730 is 83 730 the 87 730 dark 89 730 side 91 730 of 93 730 this 97 730 earth, 99 730 and 101 730 which 103 730 is 107 730 two 109 730 thirds 111 730 of 113 730 this 117 730 earth. 119 730 So, 121 730 therefore, 123 730 that 127 730 mortal 129 730 man 131 730 who 133 730 hath 137 730 more 139 730 of 141 730 joy 143 730 than 147 730 sorrow 149 730 in 151 730 him, 153 730 that 157 730 mortal 159 730 man 161 730 cannot 163 730 be 167 730 true--not 169 730 true, 171 730 or 173 730 undeveloped. 177 730 With 179 730 books 181 730 the 183 730 same. 187 730 The 189 730 truest 191 730 of 193 730 all 197 730 men 199 730 was 201 730 the 203 730 Man 207 730 of 209 730 Sorrows, 211 730 and 213 730 the 217 730 truest 221 730 of 223 730 all 227 730 books 229 730 is 231 730 Solomon's, 233 730 and 237 730 Ecclesiastes 239 730 is 241 730 the 243 730 fine 247 730 hammered 249 730 steel 251 730 of 253 730 woe. 257 730 "All 259 730 is 261 730 vanity." 263 730 ALL. 267 730 This 269 730 wilful 271 730 world 273 730 hath 277 730 not 279 730 got 281 730 hold 283 730 of 287 730 unchristian 289 730 Solomon's 291 730 wisdom 293 730 yet. 297 730 But 299 730 he 301 730 who 303 730 dodges 307 730 hospitals 309 730 and 311 730 jails, 313 730 and 317 730 walks 319 730 fast 321 730 crossing 323 730 graveyards, 327 730 and 329 730 would 331 730 rather 333 730 talk 337 730 of 339 730 operas 341 730 than 343 730 hell; 347 730 calls 349 730 Cowper, 351 730 Young, 353 730 Pascal, 357 730 Rousseau, 359 730 poor 361 730 devils 363 730 all 367 730 of 369 730 sick 371 730 men; 373 730 and 377 730 throughout 379 730 a 381 730 care-free 383 730 lifetime 387 730 swears 389 730 by 391 730 Rabelais 393 730 as 397 730 passing 399 730 wise, 401 730 and 403 730 therefore 407 730 jolly;--not 409 730 that 411 730 man 413 730 is 417 730 fitted 419 730 to 421 730 sit 423 730 down 427 730 on 429 730 tomb-stones, 431 730 and 433 730 break 437 730 the 439 730 green 441 730 damp 443 730 mould 447 730 with 449 730 unfathomably 451 730 wondrous 453 730 Solomon. 457 730 But 459 730 even 461 730 Solomon, 463 730 he 467 730 says, 469 730 "the 471 730 man 473 730 that 477 730 wandereth 479 730 out 481 730 of 483 730 the 487 730 way 489 730 of 491 730 understanding 493 730 shall 497 730 remain" 499 730 (I.E., 501 730 even 503 730 while 507 730 living) 509 730 "in 513 730 the 517 730 congregation 519 730 of 521 730 the 523 730 dead." 527 730 Give 529 730 not 531 730 thyself 533 730 up, 537 730 then, 539 730 to 541 730 fire, 543 730 lest 547 730 it 549 730 invert 551 730 thee, 553 730 deaden 557 730 thee; 559 730 as 561 730 for 563 730 the 567 730 time 569 730 it 571 730 did 573 730 me. 577 730 There 579 730 is 581 730 a 583 730 wisdom 587 730 that 589 730 is 591 730 woe; 593 730 but 597 730 there 599 730 is 601 730 a 603 730 woe 607 730 that 609 730 is 611 730 madness. 613 730 And 617 730 there 619 730 is 621 730 a 623 730 Catskill 627 730 eagle 629 730 in 631 730 some 633 730 souls 637 730 that 639 730 can 641 730 alike 643 730 dive 647 730 down 649 730 into 651 730 the 653 730 blackest 659 730 gorges, 661 730 and 663 730 soar 667 730 out 669 730 of 671 730 them 673 730 again 677 730 and 679 730 become 681 730 invisible 683 730 in 687 730 the 689 730 sunny 691 730 spaces. 693 730 And 697 730 even 699 730 if 701 730 he 703 730 for 707 730 ever 709 730 flies 711 730 within 713 730 the 717 730 gorge, 719 730 that 721 730 gorge 723 730 is 727 730 in 729 730 the 1 731 mountains; 2 731 so 3 731 that 4 731 even 5 731 in 6 731 his 7 731 lowest 8 731 swoop 9 731 the 10 731 mountain 11 731 eagle 12 731 is 13 731 still 14 731 higher 15 731 than 16 731 other 18 731 birds 19 731 upon 20 731 the 21 731 plain, 22 731 even 23 731 though 24 731 they 25 731 soar. 26 731 CHAPTER 27 731 97 28 731 The 29 731 Lamp. 30 731 Had 31 731 you 32 731 descended 33 731 from 35 731 the 36 731 Pequod's 37 731 try-works 38 731 to 39 731 the 40 731 Pequod's 41 731 forecastle, 42 731 where 44 731 the 45 731 off 46 731 duty 47 731 watch 48 731 were 49 731 sleeping, 50 731 for 52 731 one 53 731 single 54 731 moment 55 731 you 56 731 would 57 731 have 58 731 almost 59 731 thought 60 731 you 61 731 were 62 731 standing 63 731 in 64 731 some 65 731 illuminated 66 731 shrine 67 731 of 69 731 canonized 70 731 kings 71 731 and 72 731 counsellors. 73 731 There 74 731 they 75 731 lay 76 731 in 77 731 their 78 731 triangular 79 731 oaken 80 731 vaults, 81 731 each 82 731 mariner 83 731 a 84 731 chiselled 87 731 muteness; 88 731 a 89 731 score 90 731 of 91 731 lamps 92 731 flashing 93 731 upon 94 731 his 95 731 hooded 96 731 eyes. 97 731 In 98 731 merchantmen, 99 731 oil 100 731 for 101 731 the 103 731 sailor 104 731 is 105 731 more 106 731 scarce 107 731 than 108 731 the 109 731 milk 110 731 of 111 731 queens. 112 731 To 113 731 dress 114 731 in 115 731 the 116 731 dark, 117 731 and 118 731 eat 120 731 in 121 731 the 122 731 dark, 123 731 and 124 731 stumble 125 731 in 126 731 darkness 127 731 to 128 731 his 130 731 pallet, 131 731 this 132 731 is 133 731 his 134 731 usual 135 731 lot. 137 731 But 138 731 the 139 731 whaleman, 140 731 as 141 731 he 142 731 seeks 143 731 the 144 731 food 145 731 of 146 731 light, 147 731 so 148 731 he 149 731 lives 150 731 in 151 731 light. 152 731 He 154 731 makes 155 731 his 156 731 berth 157 731 an 158 731 Aladdin's 159 731 lamp, 160 731 and 161 731 lays 162 731 him 163 731 down 164 731 in 165 731 it; 166 731 so 167 731 that 168 731 in 169 731 the 171 731 pitchiest 173 731 night 174 731 the 175 731 ship's 176 731 black 177 731 hull 178 731 still 179 731 houses 180 731 an 181 731 illumination. 182 731 See 183 731 with 184 731 what 185 731 entire 186 731 freedom 188 731 the 189 731 whaleman 190 731 takes 191 731 his 192 731 handful 193 731 of 194 731 lamps--often 195 731 but 196 731 old 197 731 bottles 198 731 and 199 731 vials, 200 731 though--to 201 731 the 202 731 copper 203 731 cooler 205 731 at 206 731 the 207 731 try-works, 208 731 and 209 731 replenishes 210 731 them 211 731 there, 212 731 as 213 731 mugs 214 731 of 216 731 ale 217 731 at 218 731 a 219 731 vat. 220 731 He 222 731 burns, 223 731 too, 224 731 the 225 731 purest 226 731 of 227 731 oil, 228 731 in 229 731 its 230 731 unmanufactured, 231 731 and, 232 731 therefore, 233 731 unvitiated 234 731 state; 235 731 a 236 731 fluid 237 731 unknown 239 731 to 240 731 solar, 241 731 lunar, 242 731 or 243 731 astral 244 731 contrivances 245 731 ashore. 246 731 It 247 731 is 248 731 sweet 249 731 as 250 731 early 251 731 grass 252 731 butter 253 731 in 254 731 April. 256 731 He 257 731 goes 259 731 and 260 731 hunts 261 731 for 262 731 his 263 731 oil, 264 731 so 265 731 as 266 731 to 267 731 be 268 731 sure 269 731 of 270 731 its 271 731 freshness 273 731 and 274 731 genuineness, 275 731 even 276 731 as 277 731 the 278 731 traveller 279 731 on 280 731 the 281 731 prairie 282 731 hunts 283 731 up 284 731 his 285 731 own 286 731 supper 287 731 of 288 731 game. 290 731 CHAPTER 291 731 98 292 731 Stowing 293 731 Down 294 731 and 295 731 Clearing 296 731 Up. 297 731 Already 298 731 has 299 731 it 300 731 been 302 731 related 303 731 how 304 731 the 305 731 great 307 731 leviathan 308 731 is 309 731 afar 310 731 off 311 731 descried 312 731 from 313 731 the 314 731 mast-head; 315 731 how 316 731 he 317 731 is 318 731 chased 319 731 over 320 731 the 321 731 watery 322 731 moors, 324 731 and 325 731 slaughtered 326 731 in 327 731 the 328 731 valleys 329 731 of 330 731 the 331 731 deep; 332 731 how 333 731 he 334 731 is 335 731 then 336 731 towed 337 731 alongside 338 731 and 339 731 beheaded; 341 731 and 342 731 how 343 731 (on 345 731 the 346 731 principle 347 731 which 348 731 entitled 349 731 the 350 731 headsman 351 731 of 352 731 old 353 731 to 354 731 the 355 731 garments 356 731 in 358 731 which 359 731 the 360 731 beheaded 361 731 was 362 731 killed) 363 731 his 364 731 great 365 731 padded 366 731 surtout 367 731 becomes 368 731 the 369 731 property 370 731 of 371 731 his 372 731 executioner; 373 731 how, 375 731 in 376 731 due 377 731 time, 378 731 he 379 731 is 380 731 condemned 381 731 to 382 731 the 383 731 pots, 384 731 and, 385 731 like 386 731 Shadrach, 388 731 Meshach, 389 731 and 390 731 Abednego, 392 731 his 393 731 spermaceti, 394 731 oil, 395 731 and 396 731 bone 397 731 pass 398 731 unscathed 399 731 through 400 731 the 401 731 fire;--but 402 731 now 403 731 it 404 731 remains 405 731 to 406 731 conclude 407 731 the 409 731 last 410 731 chapter 411 731 of 412 731 this 413 731 part 414 731 of 415 731 the 416 731 description 417 731 by 418 731 rehearsing--singing, 419 731 if 420 731 I 421 731 may--the 422 731 romantic 423 731 proceeding 424 731 of 426 731 decanting 427 731 off 428 731 his 429 731 oil 431 731 into 432 731 the 433 731 casks 434 731 and 435 731 striking 436 731 them 437 731 down 438 731 into 439 731 the 440 731 hold, 441 731 where 443 731 once 444 731 again 445 731 leviathan 446 731 returns 447 731 to 448 731 his 449 731 native 450 731 profundities, 451 731 sliding 452 731 along 453 731 beneath 454 731 the 455 731 surface 456 731 as 457 731 before; 458 731 but, 460 731 alas! 461

731 has 686 731 besooted 687 731 all 689 731 the 690 731 bulwarks; 691 731 the 692 731 mariners 693 731 go 694 731 about 695 731 suffused 696 731 with 698 731 unctuousness; 699 731 the 700 731 entire 701 731 ship 702 731 seems 703 731 great 704 731 leviathan 705 731 himself; 706 731 while 707 731 on 708 731 all 709 731 hands 710 731 the 711 731 din 712 731 is 713 731 deafening. 715 731 But 716 731 a 717 731 day 718 731 or 719 731 two 720 731 after, 721 731 you 722 731 look 723 731 about 724 731 you, 725 731 and 726 731 prick 727 731 your 728 731 ears 729 731 in 730 731 this 1 732 self-same 5

never 143 732 look 145 732 so 149 732 white 151 732 as 155 732 just 157 732 after 161 732 what 163 732 they 167 732 call 169 732 an 173 732 affair 175 732 of 179 732 oil. 181 732 Besides, 185 732 from

from 214 739 the 215 739 folds 216 739 that 217 739 had 218 739 hidden 219 739 it, 220 739 he 221 739 held 222 739 up 223 739 a 224 739 white 225 739 arm 226 739 of 227 739 sperm 228 739 whale 229 739 bone, 230 739 terminating 231 739 in 232 739 a 233 739 wooden 234 739 head 235 739 like 236 739 a 237 739 mallet. 238 739 "Man 239 739 my 240 739 boat!" 241 739 cried 242 739 Ahab, 243 739 impetuously, 244 739 and 245 739 tossing 246 739 about 247 739 the 248 739 oars 249 739 near 250 739 him--"Stand 251 739 by 252 739 to 253 739 lower!" 254 739 In 255 739 less 256 739 than 257 739 a 258 739 minute, 259 739 without 260 739 quitting 261 739 his 262 739 little 263 739 craft, 264 739 he 265 739 and 266 739 his 267 739 crew 268 739 were 269 739 dropped 270 739 to 271 739 the 272 739

itself. 287 739 In 288 739 the 289 739 excitement 290 739 of 291 739 the 292 739 moment, 293 739 Ahab 294 739 had 295 739 forgotten 296 739 that 297 739 since 298 739 the 299 739 loss 300 739 of 301 739 his 302 739 leg 303 739 he 304 739 had 305 739 never 306 739 once 307 739 stepped 308 739 on 309 739 board 310 739 of 311 739 any 312 739 vessel 313 739 at 314 739 sea 315 739 but 316 739 his 317 739 own, 318 739 and 319 739 then 320 739 it 321 739 was 322 739 always 323 739 by 324 739 an 325 739 ingenious 326 739 and 327 739 very 328 739 handy 329 739 mechanical 330 739 contrivance 331 739 peculiar 332 739 to 333 739 the 334 739 Pequod, 335 739 and 336 739 a 337 739 thing 338 739 not 339 739 to 340 739 be 341 739 rigged 342 739 and 343 739 shipped 344 739 in 345 739 any 346 739 other 347 739 vessel 348 739 at 349 739 a 350 739 moment's 351 739 warning. 352 739 Now, 353 739 it 354 739 is 355 739 no 356 739 very 357 739 easy 358 739 matter 359 739 for 360 739 anybody--except 361 739 those 362 739 who 363 739 are 364 739 almost 365 739 hourly 366 739 used 367 739 to 368 739 it, 369 739 like 370 739 whalemen--to 371 739 clamber 372 739 up 373 739 a 374 739 ship's 375 739 side 376 739 from 377 739 a 378 739 boat 379 739 on 380 739 the 381 739 open 382 739 sea; 383 739 for 384 739 the 385 739 great 386 739 swells 387 739 now 388 739 lift 389 739 the 390 739 boat 391 739 high 392 739 up 393 739 towards 394 739 the 395 739 bulwarks, 396 739 and 397 739 then 398 739 instantaneously 399 739 drop 400 739 it 401 739 half 402 739 way 403 739 down 404 739 to 405 739 the 406 739 kelson. 407 739 So, 408 739 deprived 409 739 of 410 739 one 411 739 leg, 412 739 and 413 739 the 414 739 strange 415 739 ship 416 739 of 417 739 course 418 739 being 419 739 altogether 420 739 unsupplied 421 739 with 422 739 the 423 739 kindly 424 739 invention, 425 739 Ahab 426 739 now 427 739 found 428 739 himself 429 739 abjectly 430 739 reduced 431 739 to 432 739 a 433 739 clumsy 434 739 landsman 435 739 again; 436 739 hopelessly 437 739 eyeing 438 739 the 439 739 uncertain 440 739 changeful 441 739 height 442 739 he 443 739 could 444 739 hardly 445 739 hope 446 739 to 447 739 attain. 448 739 It 449 739 has 450 739 before 451 739 been 452 739 hinted, 453 739 perhaps, 454 739 that 455 739 every 456 739 little 457 739 untoward 458 739 circumstance 459 739 that 460 739 befell 461 739 him, 462 739 and 463 739 which 464 739 indirectly 465 739 sprang 466 739 from 467 739 his 468 739 luckless 469 739 mishap, 470 739 almost 471 739 invariably 472 739 irritated 473 739 or 474 739 exasperated 475 739 Ahab. 476 739 And 477 739 in 478 739 the 479 739 present 480 739 instance, 481 739 all 482 739 this 483 739 was 484 739 heightened 485 739 by 486 739 the 487 739 sight 488 739 of 489 739 the 490 739 two 491 739 officers 492 739 of 493 739 the 494 739 strange 495 739 ship, 496 739 leaning 497 739 over 498 739 the 499 739 side, 500 739 by 501 739 the 502 739 perpendicular 503 739 ladder 504 739 of 505 739 nailed 506 739 cleets 507 739 there, 508 739 and 509 739 swinging 510 739 towards 511 739 him 512 739 a 513 739 pair 514 739 of 515 739 tastefully-ornamented 516 739 man-ropes; 517 739 for 518 739 at 519 739 first 520 739 they 521 739 did 522 739 not 523 739 seem 524 739 to 525 739 bethink 526 739 them 527 739 that 528 739 a 529 739 one-legged 530 739 man 531 739 must 532 739 be 533 739 too 534 739 much 535 739 of 536 739 a 537 739 cripple 538 739 to 539 739 use 540 739 their 541 739 sea 542 739 bannisters. 543 739 But 544 739 this 545 739 awkwardness 546 739 only 547 739 lasted 548 739 a 549 739 minute, 550 739 because 551 739 the 552 739 strange 553 739 captain, 554 739 observing 555 739 at 556 739 a 557 739 glance 558 739 how 559 739 affairs 560 739 stood, 561 739 cried 562 739 out, 563 739 "I 564 739 see, 565 739 I 566 739 see!--avast 567 739 heaving 568 739 there! 569 739 Jump, 570 739 boys, 571 739 and 572 739 swing 573 739 over 574 739 the 575 739 cutting-tackle." 576 739 As 577 739 good 578 739 luck 579 739 would 580 739 have 581 739 it, 582 739 they 583 739 had 584 739 had 585 739 a 586 739 whale 587 739 alongside 588 739 a 589 739 day 590 739 or 591 739 two 592 739 previous, 593 739 and 594 739 the 595 739 great 596 739 tackles 597 739 were 598 739 still 599 739 aloft, 600 739 and 601 739 the 602 739 massive 603 739 curved 604

lowered 619 739 to 620 739 Ahab, 621 739 who 622 739 at 623 739 once 624 739 comprehending 625 739 it 626 739 all, 627 739 slid 628 739 his 629 739 solitary 630 739 thigh 631 739 into 632 739 the 633 739 curve 634 739 of 635 739 the 636 739 hook 637 739 (it 638 739 was 639 739 like 640 739 sitting 641 739 in 642 739 the 643 739 fluke 644 739 of 645 739 an 646 739 anchor, 647 739 or 648 739 the 649 739 crotch 650 739 of 651 739 an 652 739 apple 653 739 tree), 654 739 and 655 739 then 656 739 giving 657 739 the 658 739 word, 659 739 held 660 739 himself 661 739 fast, 662 739 and 663 739 at 664 739 the 665 739 same 666 739 time 667 739 also 668 739 helped 669 739 to 670 739 hoist 671 739 his 672 739 own 673 739 weight, 674 739 by 675 739 pulling 676 739 hand-over-hand 677 739 upon 678 739 one 679 739 of 680 739 the 681 739 running 682 739 parts 683 739 of 684 739 the 685 739 tackle. 686 739 Soon 687 739 he 688 739 was 689 739 carefully 690 739 swung 691 739 inside 692 739 the 693 739

leg, 722 739 and 723 739 crossing 724 739 the 725 739 ivory 726 739 arm 727 739 (like 728 739 two 729 739 sword-fish 730 739 blades) 731 739 cried 732 739 out 733 739 in 734 739 his 735 739 walrus 736 739 way, 737 739 "Aye, 738 739 aye, 1 740 hearty! 3 740 let 7 740 us 9 740 shake 11 740 bones 13 740 together!--an 17 740 arm 19 740 and 21 740 a 23 740 leg!--an 27 740 arm 29 740 that 31 740 never 33

740 the 119 740 East, 121 740 and 123 740 taking 127 740 a 129 740 rueful 131 740 sight 133 740 along 137 740 it, 139 740 as 141 740 if 143 740 it 147 740 had 149 740 been 151 740 a 153 740 telescope; 157 740 "there 159 740 I 161 740 saw 163 740 him, 167 740 on 169 740 the 171 740 Line, 173 740 last 177 740 season." 179 740 "And 181 740 he 183 740 took 187 740 that 189 740 arm 191 740 off, 193 740

273 740 leg, 277 740 too?" 279 740 "Spin 281 740 me 283 740 the 287 740 yarn," 289 740 said 291 740 Ahab; 293 740 "how 297 740 was 299 740 it?" 301 740 "It 303 740 was 307 740 the 309 740 first 311 740 time 313 740 in 317 740 my 319 740 life 321 740 that 323 740 I 327 740 ever 329 740 cruised 331 740 on 337 740 the 339 740 Line," 341 740 began 343 740 the 347 740 Englishman. 349 740 "I 351 740 was 353 740 ignorant 357 740 of 359 740 the 361 740 White 363 740 Whale 367 740 at 369 740 that 371 740 time. 373 740 Well, 377 740 one 379 740 day 381 740 we 383 740 lowered 387 740 for 389 740 a 391

471 740 crew 473 740 could 477 740 only 479 740 trim 483 740 dish, 487 740 by 489 740 sitting 491 740 all 493 740 their 497 740 sterns 499 740 on 501 740 the 503 740 outer 507 740 gunwale. 509 740 Presently 511 740 up 513 740 breaches 517 740 from 519 740 the 521 740 bottom 523 740 of 527 740 the 529 740 sea 531 740 a 533 740 bouncing 537 740 great 539 740 whale, 541 740 with 543 740 a 547 740

740 cried 587 740 Ahab, 589 740 suddenly 591 740 letting 593 740 out 597 740 his 599 740 suspended 601 740 breath. 603 740 "And 607 740 harpoons 609 740 sticking 611 740 in 613 740 near 617 740 his

743 it 158 743 grew 159 743 black; 160 743 I 161 743 knew 162 743 what 163 743 was 164 743 threatened, 165 743 and 166 743 off 167 743 it 168 743 came. 169 743 But 170 743 I 171 743 had 172 743 no 173

743 passions 232 743 sometimes. 233 743 Do 234 743 ye 235 743 see 236 743 this 237 743 dent, 238 743 sir"--removing 239 743 his 240 743 hat, 241 743 and 242 743 brushing 243 743 aside 244 743 his 245 743 hair, 246 743 and 247 743 exposing 248 743 a 249 743 bowl-like 250 743 cavity 251 743 in 252 743 his 253 743 skull, 254 743 but 255 743 which 256 743 bore 257 743 not 258 743 the 259 743 slightest

impatiently 350 743 listening 351 743 to 352 743 this 353 743 by-play 354 743 between 355 743 the 356 743 two 357 743 Englishmen. 358 743 "Oh!" 359 743 cried 360 743 the 361 743 one-armed 362 743 captain, 363 743 "oh, 364 743 yes! 365 743 Well; 366 743 after 367 743 he 368 743 sounded, 369 743 we 370 743 didn't 371 743 see 372 743 him 373 743 again 374 743 for 375 743 some 376 743 time; 377 743 in 378 743 fact, 379 743 as 380 743 I 381 743 before 382 743 hinted, 383 743 I 384 743 didn't 385 743 then 386 743 know 387 743 what 388 743 whale 389 743 it 390 743 was 391 743 that 392 743 had 393 743 served 394 743 me 395 743 such 396 743 a 397 743 trick, 398 743 till 399 743 some 400 743 time 401 743 afterwards, 402 743 when 403 743 coming 404 743 back 405 743 to 406 743 the 407 743 Line, 408 743 we 409 743 heard 410 743 about 411 743 Moby 412 743 Dick--as 413 743 some 414 743 call 415 743 him--and 416 743 then 417 743 I 418 743 knew 419 743 it 420 743 was 421 743 he." 422 743 "Did'st

743 "give 467 743 him 468 743 your 469 743 left 470 743 arm 471 743 for 472 743 bait 473 743 to 474 743 get 475 743 the 476 743 right. 477 743 Do 478 743 you 479 743 know, 480 743 gentlemen"--very 481 743 gravely 482 743 and 483 743 mathematically 484 743 bowing 485 743 to 486 743 each 487 743 Captain 488 743 in 489 743 succession--"Do 490 743 you 491 743 know, 492 743 gentlemen, 493 743 that 494 743 the 495 743 digestive 496 743 organs 497 743 of 498 743 the 499 743 whale 500 743 are 501 743 so 502 743 inscrutably 503 743 constructed 504 743 by 505 743 Divine 506 743 Providence, 507 743 that

terrify 554 743 by 555 743 feints. 556 743 But 557 743 sometimes 558 743 he 559 743 is 560 743 like 561 743 the 562 743 old 563 743 juggling 564 743 fellow, 565 743 formerly 566 743 a 567 743 patient

Manilla 601 744 men 605 744 were 607 744 springing 611 744 to 613 744 their 617 744 oars. 619 744 In 623 744 vain 625 744 the 629 744 English 631 744 Captain 635 744 hailed 637 744 him. 641 744 With 643 744 back 647 744 to 649 744 the 653 744 stranger 655 744 ship, 659 744 and 661 744 face 665 744 set 667 744 like 671 744 a 673 744 flint 677 744 to 679 744 his 683 744 own, 685 744 Ahab 689 744 stood 691 744 upright 695 744 till 697 744 alongside 701 744 of 703 744 the 707 744 Pequod. 709 744 CHAPTER 715 744 101 719 744 The 721 744 Decanter. 725 744 Ere 727 744 the 731 744 English 733 744 ship 737 744 fades 739 744 from 743 744 sight, 1 745 be 2 745 it 3 745 set 4 745 down 6 745 here, 7 745 that 8 745 she 9 745 hailed 11 745 from 12 745 London, 13 745 and 14 745 was 16 745 named 17 745 after 18 745 the 19 745 late 21 745 Samuel 22 745 Enderby, 23 745 merchant 24 745 of 26 745 that 27 745 city, 28 745 the 29 745 original 31 745 of 32 745 the 33 745 famous 34 745 whaling 36 745 house 37 745 of 38 745 Enderby 39 745 & 41 745 Sons; 42 745 a 43 745 house 44 745 which 46 745 in 47 745 my 48 745 poor 49 745 whaleman's 51 745 opinion, 52 745 comes 53 745 not 54 745 far 56 745 behind 57 745 the 58 745 united 59 745 royal 61 745 houses 62 745 of 63 745 the 64 745 Tudors 66 745 and 67 745 Bourbons, 68 745 in 69 745 point 71 745 of 72 745 real 73 745 historical 74 745 interest. 76 745 How 77 745 long, 78 745 prior 79 745 to 81 745 the 82 745 year 83 745 of 84 745 our 86 745 Lord 87 745 1775, 88 745 this 89 745 great 91 745 whaling 92 745 house 93 745 was 94 745 in 96 745 existence, 97 745 my 98 745 numerous 99 745 fish-documents 101 745 do 102 745 not 103 745 make 104 745 plain; 106 745 but 107 745 in 108 745 that 109 745 year 111 745 (1775) 112 745 it 113 745 fitted 114 745 out 116 745 the 117 745 first 118 745 English 119 745 ships 121 745 that 122 745 ever 123 745 regularly 124 745 hunted 126 745 the 127 745 Sperm 128 745 Whale; 129 745 though 131 745 for 132 745 some 133 745 score 134 745 of 136 745 years 137 745 previous 138 745 (ever 139 745 since 141 745 1726) 142 745 our 143 745 valiant 144 745 Coffins 146 745 and 147 745 Maceys 148 745 of 151 745 Nantucket 152 745 and 153 745 the 154 745 Vineyard 156 745 had 157 745 in 158 745 large 159 745 fleets 161 745 pursued 162 745 that 163 745 Leviathan, 164 745 but 166 745 only 167 745 in 168 745 the 169 745 North 171 745 and 172 745 South 173 745 Atlantic: 174 745 not 176 745 elsewhere. 177 745 Be 178 745 it 179 745 distinctly 181 745 recorded 182 745 here, 183 745 that 184 745 the 186 745 Nantucketers 187 745 were 188 745 the 189 745 first 191 745 among 192 745 mankind 193 745 to 194 745 harpoon 196 745 with 197 745 civilized 198 745 steel 199 745 the 201 745 great 202 745 Sperm 203 745 Whale; 204 745 and 206 745 that 207 745 for 208 745 half 209 745 a 211 745 century 212 745 they 213 745 were 214 745 the 216 745 only 217 745 people 218 745 of 219 745 the 221 745 whole 222 745 globe 223 745 who 224 745 so 226 745 harpooned 227 745 him. 228 745 In 229 745 1778, 231 745 a 232 745 fine 233 745 ship, 234 745 the 236 745 Amelia, 237 745 fitted 238 745 out 239 745 for 241 745 the 242 745 express 243 745 purpose, 244 745 and 246 745 at 247 745 the 248 745 sole 249 745 charge 251 745 of 252 745 the 253 745 vigorous 254 745 Enderbys, 256 745 boldly 257 745 rounded 258 745 Cape 259 745 Horn, 261 745 and 262 745 was 263 745 the 264 745 first 266 745 among 267 745 the 268 745 nations 269 745 to 271 745 lower 272 745 a 273 745 whale-boat 274 745 of 276 745 any 277 745 sort 278 745 in 279 745 the 281 745 great 282 745 South 283 745 Sea. 284 745 The 286 745 voyage 287 745 was 288 745 a 289 745 skilful 291 745 and 292 745 lucky 293 745 one; 294 745 and 296 745 returning 297 745 to 299 745 her 301 745 berth 302 745 with 303 745 her 304 745 hold 306 745 full 307 745 of 308 745 the 309 745 precious 311 745 sperm, 312 745 the 313 745 Amelia's 314 745 example 316 745 was 317 745 soon 318 745 followed 319 745 by 321 745 other 322 745 ships, 323 745 English 324 745 and 326 745 American, 327 745 and 328 745 thus 329 745 the 331 745 vast 332 745 Sperm 333 745 Whale 334 745 grounds 336 745 of 337 745 the 338 745 Pacific 339 745 were 341 745 thrown 342 745 open. 343 745 But 344 745 not 346 745 content 347 745 with 348 745 this 349 745 good 351 745 deed, 352 745 the 353 745 indefatigable 354 745 house 356 745 again 357 745 bestirred 358 745 itself: 359 745 Samuel 361 745 and 362 745 all 363 745 his 364 745 Sons--how 366 745 many, 367 745 their 368 745 mother 369 745 only 371 745 knows--and 372 745 under 373 745 their 374 745 immediate 376 745 auspices, 377 745 and 378 745 partly, 379 745 I 381 745 think, 382 745 at 383 745 their 384 745 expense, 386 745 the 387 745 British 388 745 government 389 745 was 391 745 induced 392 745 to 393 745 send 394 745 the 396 745 sloop-of-war 397 745 Rattler 398 745 on 399 745 a 401 745 whaling 402 745 voyage 403 745 of 404 745 discovery 406 745 into 407 745 the 408 745 South 409 745 Sea. 411 745 Commanded 412 745 by 413 745 a 414 745 naval 416 745 Post-Captain, 417 745 the 418 745 Rattler 419 745 made 421 745 a 422 745 rattling 423 745 voyage 424 745 of 426 745 it, 427 745 and 428 745 did 429 745 some 431 745 service; 432 745 how 433 745 much 434 745 does 436 745 not 437 745 appear. 438 745 But 439 745 this 441 745 is 442 745 not 443 745 all. 444 745 In 446 745 1819, 448 745 the 449 745 same 451 745 house 452 745 fitted 453 745 out 454 745 a 456 745 discovery 457 745 whale 458 745 ship 459 745 of 461 745 their 462 745 own, 463 745 to 464 745 go 466 745 on 467 745 a 468 745 tasting 469 745 cruise 471 745 to 472 745 the 473 745 remote 474 745 waters 476 745 of 477 745 Japan. 478 745 That 479 745 ship--well 481 745 called 482 745 the 483 745 "Syren"--made 484 745 a 486 745 noble 487 745 experimental 488 745 cruise; 489 745 and 491 745 it 492 745 was 493 745 thus 494 745 that 496 745 the 497 745 great 498 745 Japanese 499 745 Whaling 501 745 Ground 502 745 first 503 745 became 504 745 generally 506 745 known. 507 745 The 508 745 Syren 509 745 in 511 745 this 512 745 famous 513 745 voyage 514 745 was 516 745 commanded 517 745 by 518 745 a 519 745 Captain 521 745 Coffin, 522 745 a 523 745 Nantucketer. 524 745 All 526 745 honour 527 745 to 528 745 the 529 745 Enderbies, 531 745 therefore, 532 745 whose 533 745 house, 534 745 I 536 745 think, 537 745 exists 538 745 to 539 745 the 541 745 present 542 745 day; 543 745 though 544 745 doubtless 546 745 the 547 745 original 548 745 Samuel 549 745 must 551 745 long 552 745 ago 553 745 have 554 745 slipped 556 745 his 557 745 cable 558 745 for 559 745 the 561 745 great 562 745 South 563 745 Sea 564 745 of 566 745 the 567 745 other 568 745 world. 569 745 The 571 745 ship 572 745 named 573 745 after 574 745 him 576 745 was 577 745 worthy 578 745 of 579 745 the 581 745 honour, 582 745 being 583 745 a 584 745 very 586 745 fast 587 745 sailer 588 745 and 589 745 a 591 745 noble 592 745 craft 593 745 every 594 745 way. 597 745 I 598 745 boarded 599 745 her 601 745 once 602 745 at 603 745 midnight 604 745 somewhere 606 745 off 607 745 the 608 745 Patagonian 609 745 coast, 611 745 and 612 745 drank 613 745 good 614 745 flip 616 745 down 617 745 in 618 745 the 619 745 forecastle. 621 745 It 622 745 was 623 745 a 624 745 fine 626 745 gam 627 745 we 628 745 had, 629 745 and 631 745 they 632 745 were 633 745 all 634 745 trumps--every 636 745 soul 637 745 on 638 745 board. 639 745 A 641 745 short 642 745 life 643 745 to 644 745 them, 646 745 and 647 745 a 648 745 jolly 649 745 death. 651 745 And 652 745 that 653 745 fine 654 745 gam 656 745 I 657 745 had--long, 658 745 very 659 745 long 661 745 after 662 745 old 663 745 Ahab 664 745 touched 666 745 her 667 745 planks 668 745 with 669 745 his 671 745 ivory 672 745 heel--it 673 745 minds 674 745 me 676 745 of 677 745 the 678 745 noble, 679 745 solid, 681 745 Saxon 682 745 hospitality 683 745 of 684 745 that 686 745 ship; 687 745 and 688 745 may 689 745 my 691 745 parson 692 745 forget 693 745 me, 694 745 and 696 745 the 697 745 devil 698 745 remember 699 745 me, 701 745 if 702 745 I 703 745 ever 704 745 lose 706 745 sight 707 745 of 708 745 it. 709 745 Flip? 711 745 Did 712 745 I 713 745 say 714 745 we 716 745 had 717 745 flip? 718 745 Yes, 719 745 and 721 745 we 722 745 flipped 723 745 it 724 745 at 726 745 the 727 745 rate 728 745 of 729 745 ten 731 745 gallons 732 745 the 733 745 hour; 734 745 and 736 745 when 737 745 the 738 745 squall 739 745 came 741 745 (for 742 745 it's 743 745 squally 744 745 off 1 746 there 3 746 by 5 746 Patagonia), 7 746 and 9 746 all 11 746 hands--visitors 13 746 and 15 746 all--were 17 746 called 19 746 to 21 746 reef 23 746 topsails, 25 746 we 27 746 were 29 746 so 31 746 top-heavy 33 746 that 35 746 we 37 746 had 39 746 to 41 746 swing 43 746 each 45 746 other 47 746 aloft 49 746 in 51 746 bowlines; 53 746 and 55 746 we 57 746 ignorantly 59 746 furled 61 746 the 63 746 skirts 65 746 of 67 746 our 69 746 jackets 71 746 into 73 746 the 75 746 sails, 77 746 so 79 746 that 81 746 we 83 746 hung 85 746 there, 87 746 reefed 89 746 fast 91 746 in 93 746 the 95 746 howling 97 746 gale, 99 746 a 101 746 warning 103 746 example 105 746 to 107 746 all 109 746 drunken 111 746 tars. 113 746 However, 115 746 the 117 746 masts 119 746 did 121 746 not 123 746 go 125 746 overboard; 127 746 and 129 746 by 131 746 and 133 746 by 135 746 we 137 746 scrambled 139 746 down, 141 746 so 143 746 sober, 145 746 that 147 746 we 149 746 had 151 746 to 153 746 pass 155 746 the 157 746 flip 159 746 again, 161 746 though 163 746 the 165 746 savage 167 746 salt 169 746 spray 171 746 bursting 173 746 down 175 746 the 177 746 forecastle 179 746 scuttle, 181 746 rather 183 746 too 185 746 much 187 746 diluted 189 746 and 191 746 pickled 193 746 it 195 746 to 197 746 my 199 746 taste. 201 746 The 203 746 beef 205 746 was 207 746 fine--tough, 209 746 but 211 746 with 213 746 body 215 746 in 217 746 it. 219 746 They 221 746 said 223 746 it 225 746 was 227 746 bull-beef; 229 746 others, 231 746 that 233 746 it 235 746 was 237 746 dromedary 239 746 beef; 241 746 but 243 746 I 245 746 do 247 746 not 249 746 know, 251 746 for 253 746 certain, 255 746 how 257 746 that 259 746 was. 261 746 They 263 746 had 265 746 dumplings 267 746 too; 269 746 small, 271 746 but 273 746 substantial, 275 746 symmetrically 277 746 globular, 279 746 and 281 746 indestructible 283 746 dumplings. 285 746 I 287 746 fancied 289 746 that 291 746 you 293 746 could 295 746 feel 297 746 them, 299 746 and 301 746 roll 303 746 them 305 746 about 307 746 in 309 746 you 311 746 after 313 746 they 315 746 were 317 746 swallowed. 319 746 If 321 746 you 323 746 stooped 325 746 over 327 746 too 329 746 far 331 746 forward, 333 746 you 335 746 risked 337 746 their 339 746 pitching 341 746 out 343 746 of 345 746 you 347 746 like 349 746 billiard-balls. 351 746 The 353 746 bread--but 355 746 that 357 746 couldn't 359 746 be 361 746 helped; 363 746 besides, 365 746 it 367 746 was 369 746 an 371 746 anti-scorbutic; 375 746 in 377 746 short, 379 746 the 381 746 bread 383 746 contained 385 746 the 387 746 only 389 746 fresh 391 746 fare 393 746 they 395 746 had. 397 746 But 399 746 the 401 746 forecastle 403 746 was 405 746 not 407 746 very 409 746 light, 411 746 and 413 746 it 415 746 was 417 746 very 419 746 easy 421 746 to 423 746 step 425 746 over 427 746 into 429 746 a 431 746 dark 433 746 corner 435 746 when 437 746 you 439 746 ate 441 746 it. 443 746 But 445 746 all 447 746 in 449 746 all, 451 746 taking 453 746 her 455 746 from 457 746 truck 459 746 to 461 746 helm, 463 746 considering 465 746 the 467 746 dimensions 469 746 of 471 746 the 473 746 cook's 475 746 boilers, 477 746 including 479 746 his 481 746 own 483 746 live 485 746 parchment 487 746 boilers; 489 746 fore 491 746 and 493 746 aft, 495 746 I 497 746 say, 499 746 the 501 746 Samuel 503 746 Enderby 505 746 was 507 746 a 509 746 jolly 511 746 ship; 513 746 of 515 746 good 517 746 fare 519 746 and 521 746 plenty; 523 746 fine 525 746 flip 527 746 and 529 746 strong; 531 746 crack 533 746 fellows 535 746 all, 537 746 and 539 746 capital 541 746 from 543 746 boot 545 746 heels 547 746 to 549 746 hat-band. 551 746 But 553 746 why 555 746 was 557 746 it, 559 746 think 561 746 ye, 563 746 that 565 746 the 567 746 Samuel 569 746 Enderby, 571 746 and 573 746 some 575 746 other 577 746 English 579 746 whalers 581 746 I 583 746 know 585 746 of--not 587 746 all 589 746 though--were 591 746 such 593 746 famous, 595 746 hospitable 597 746 ships; 599 746 that 601 746 passed 603 746 round 605 746 the 607 746 beef, 609 746 and 611 746 the 613 746 bread, 615 746 and 617 746 the 619 746 can, 621 746 and 623 746 the 625 746 joke; 627 746 and 629 746 were 631 746 not 633 746 soon 635 746 weary 637 746 of 639 746 eating, 641 746 and 643 746 drinking, 645 746 and 647 746 laughing? 649 746 I 651 746 will 653 746 tell 655 746 you. 657 746 The 659 746 abounding 661 746 good 663 746 cheer 665 746 of 667 746 these 669 746 English 671 746 whalers 673 746 is 675 746 matter 677 746 for 679 746 historical 681 746 research. 683 746 Nor 685 746 have 687 746 I 689 746 been 691 746 at 693 746 all 695 746 sparing 697 746 of 699 746 historical 701 746 whale 703 746 research, 705 746 when 707 746 it 709 746 has 711 746 seemed 713 746 needed. 715 746 The 717 746 English 719 746 were 721 746 preceded 723 746 in 725 746 the 727 746 whale 729 746 fishery 731 746 by 733 746 the 735 746 Hollanders, 737 746 Zealanders, 739 746 and 741 746 Danes; 743 746 from 745 746 whom 1 747 they 2 747 derived 4 747 many 5 747 terms 7 747 still 8 747 extant 10 747 in 11 747 the 13 747 fishery; 14 747 and 16 747 what 17 747 is 19 747 yet 20 747 more, 22 747 their 23 747 fat 25 747 old 26 747 fashions, 28 747 touching 29 747 plenty 31 747 to 32 747 eat 34 747 and 35 747 drink. 37 747 For, 38 747 as 40 747 a 41 747 general 43 747 thing, 44 747 the 46 747 English 47 747 merchant-ship 49 747 scrimps 50 747 her 52 747 crew; 53 747 but 55 747 not 56 747 so 58 747 the 59 747 English 61 747 whaler. 62 747 Hence, 64 747 in 65 747 the 67 747 English, 68 747 this 70 747 thing 71 747 of 73 747 whaling 74 747 good 76 747 cheer 77 747 is 79 747 not 80 747 normal 82 747 and 85 747 natural, 86 747 but 88 747 incidental 89 747 and 91 747 particular; 92 747 and, 94 747 therefore, 95 747 must 97 747 have 98 747 some 100 747 special 101 747 origin, 103 747 which 104 747 is 106 747 here 107 747 pointed 109 747 out, 110 747 and 112 747 will 113 747 be 115 747 still 116 747 further 118 747 elucidated. 119 747 During 121 747 my 122 747 researches 124 747 in 125 747 the 127 747 Leviathanic 128 747 histories, 130 747 I 131 747 stumbled 133 747 upon 134 747 an 136 747 ancient 137 747 Dutch 139 747 volume, 140 747 which, 142 747 by 143 747 the 145 747 musty 146 747 whaling 148 747 smell 149 747 of 151 747 it, 152 747 I 154 747 knew 155 747 must 157 747 be 158 747 about 160 747 whalers. 161 747 The 163 747 title 164 747 was, 167 747 "Dan 169 747 Coopman," 170 747 wherefore 172 747 I 173 747 concluded 175 747 that 176 747 this 178 747 must 179 747 be 181 747 the 182 747 invaluable 184 747 memoirs 185 747 of 187 747 some 188 747 Amsterdam 190 747 cooper 191 747 in 193 747 the 194 747 fishery, 196 747 as 197 747 every 199 747 whale 200 747 ship 202 747 must 203 747 carry 205 747 its 206 747 cooper. 208 747 I 209 747 was 211 747 reinforced 212 747 in 214 747 this 215 747 opinion 217 747 by 218 747 seeing 220 747 that 221 747 it 223 747 was 224 747 the 226 747 production 227 747 of 229 747 one 230 747 "Fitz 232 747 Swackhammer." 233 747 But 235 747 my 236 747 friend 238 747 Dr. 239 747 Snodhead, 241 747 a 242 747 very 244 747 learned 245 747 man, 247 747 professor 248 747 of 250 747 Low 251 747 Dutch 253 747 and 254 747 High 256 747 German 257 747 in 259 747 the 260 747 college 262 747 of 263 747 Santa 265 747 Claus 266 747 and 268 747 St. 269 747 Pott's, 271 747 to 272 747 whom 274 747 I 275 747 handed 277 747 the 278 747 work 280 747 for 281 747 translation, 283 747 giving 284 747 him 286 747 a 287 747 box 289 747 of 290 747 sperm 292 747 candles 293 747 for 295 747 his 296 747 trouble--this 298 747 same 299 747 Dr. 301 747 Snodhead, 302 747 so 304 747 soon 305 747 as 307 747 he 308 747 spied 310 747 the 311 747 book, 313 747 assured 314 747 me 316 747 that 317 747 "Dan 319 747 Coopman" 320 747 did 322 747 not 323 747 mean 325 747 "The 326 747 Cooper," 328 747 but 329 747 "The 331 747 Merchant." 334 747 In 335 747 short, 337 747 this 338 747 ancient 340 747 and 341 747 learned 343 747 Low 344 747 Dutch 346 747 book 347 747 treated 349 747 of 350 747 the 352 747 commerce 353 747 of 355 747 Holland; 356 747 and, 358 747 among 359 747 other 361 747 subjects, 362 747 contained 364 747 a 365 747 very 367 747 interesting 368 747 account 370 747 of 371 747 its 373 747 whale 374 747 fishery. 376 747 And 377 747 in 379 747 this 380 747 chapter 382 747 it 383 747 was, 385 747 headed, 386 747 "Smeer," 388 747 or 389 747 "Fat," 391 747 that 392 747 I 394 747 found 395 747 a 397 747 long 398 747 detailed 400 747 list 401 747 of 403 747 the 404 747 outfits 406 747 for 407 747 the 409 747 larders 410 747 and 412 747 cellars 413 747 of 416 747 180 418 747 sail 419 747 of 421 747 Dutch 422 747 whalemen; 424 747 from 425 747 which 427 747 list, 428 747 as 430 747 translated 431 747 by 433 747 Dr. 434 747 Snodhead, 436 747 I 437 747 transcribe 439 747 the 440 747 following: 442 747 400,000 443 747 lbs. 445 747 of 446 747 beef. 448 747 60,000 449 747 lbs. 451 747 Friesland 452 747 pork. 454 747 150,000 455 747 lbs. 457 747 of 458 747 stock 460 747 fish.

503 747 of 505 747 Geneva. 506 747 10,800 508 747 barrels 509 747 of 511 747 beer. 512 747 Most 514 747 statistical 515 747 tables 517 747 are 518 747 parchingly 520 747 dry 521 747 in 523 747 the 524 747 reading; 526 747 not 527 747 so 529 747 in 530 747 the 532 747 present 533 747 case, 535 747 however, 536 747 where 538 747 the 539 747 reader 541 747 is 542 747 flooded 544 747 with 545 747 whole 547 747 pipes, 548 747 barrels, 550 747 quarts, 551 747 and 553 747 gills 554 747 of 556 747 good 557 747 gin 559 747 and 560 747 good 562 747 cheer. 563 747 At 565 747 the 566 747 time, 568 747 I 569 747 devoted 571 747 three 572 747 days 574 747 to 575 747 the 577 747 studious 578 747 digesting 580 747 of 583 747 all 584 747 this 586 747 beer, 587 747 beef, 589 747 and 590 747 bread, 592 747 during 593 747 which 595 747 many 596 747 profound 598 747 thoughts 599 747 were 601 747 incidentally 602 747 suggested 604 747 to 605 747 me, 607 747 capable 608 747 of 610 747 a 611 747 transcendental 613 747 and 614 747 Platonic 616 747 application; 617 747 and, 619 747 furthermore, 620 747 I 622 747 compiled 623 747 supplementary 625 747 tables 626 747 of 628 747 my 629 747 own, 631 747 touching 632 747 the 634 747 probable 635 747 quantity 637 747 of 638 747 stock-fish, 640 747 etc., 641 747 consumed 643 747 by 644 747 every 646 747 Low 647 747 Dutch 649 747 harpooneer 650 747 in 652 747 that 653 747 ancient 655 747 Greenland 656 747 and 658 747 Spitzbergen 659 747 whale 661 747 fishery. 662 747 In 665 747 the 667 747 first 668 747 place, 670 747 the 671 747 amount 673 747 of 674 747 butter, 676 747 and 677 747 Texel 679 747 and 680 747 Leyden 682 747 cheese 683 747 consumed, 685 747 seems 686 747 amazing. 688 747 I 689 747 impute 691 747 it, 692 747 though, 694 747 to 695 747 their 697 747 naturally 698 747 unctuous 700 747 natures, 701 747 being 703 747 rendered 704 747 still 706 747 more 707 747 unctuous 709 747 by 710 747 the 712 747 nature 713 747 of 715 747 their 716 747 vocation, 718 747 and 719 747 especially 721 747 by 722 747 their 724 747 pursuing 725 747 their 727 747 game 728 747 in 730 747 those 731 747 frigid 733 747 Polar 734 747 Seas, 736 747 on 737 747 the 739 747 very 740 747 coasts 742 747 of 743 747 that 745 747 Esquimaux 746 747 country 1 748 where 3 748 the 5 748 convivial 7 748 natives 9 748 pledge 13 748 each 15 748 other 19 748 in 21 748 bumpers 23 748 of 25 748 train 27 748 oil. 29 748 The 31 748 quantity 35 748 of 37 748 beer, 39 748 too, 41 748 is 43 748 very 45 748 large, 47 748 10,800 49 748 barrels. 53 748 Now, 57 748 as 59 748 those 61 748 polar 63 748 fisheries 65 748 could 67 748 only 69 748 be 71 748 prosecuted 73 748 in 75 748 the 79 748 short 81 748 summer 83 748 of 87 748 that 89 748 climate, 91 748 so 93 748 that 95 748 the 97 748 whole 101 748 cruise 103 748 of 105 748 one 107 748 of 109 748 these 111 748 Dutch 113 748 whalemen, 115 748 including 117 748 the 123 748 short 125 748 voyage 127 748 to 129 748 and 131 748 from 133 748 the 135 748 Spitzbergen 137 748 sea, 139 748 did 141 748 not 145 748 much 147 748 exceed 149 748 three 151 748 months, 155 748 say, 157 748 and 159 748 reckoning 161 748 30 163 748 men 167 748 to 169 748 each 171 748 of 173 748 their 175 748 fleet 177 748 of 179 748 180 181 748 sail, 183 748 we 185 748 have 189 748 5,400 191 748 Low 193 748 Dutch 195 748 seamen 197 748 in 199 748 all; 201 748 therefore, 203 748 I 205 748 say, 207 748 we 211 748 have 213 748 precisely 215 748 two 217 748 barrels 219 748 of 223 748 beer 225 748 per 227 748 man, 229 748 for 233 748 a 235 748 twelve 237 748 weeks' 239 748 allowance, 241 748 exclusive 243 748 of 245 748 his 247 748 fair 249 748 proportion 251 748 of 257 748 that 259 748 550 261 748 ankers 263 748 of 265 748 gin. 267 748 Now, 269 748 whether 271 748 these 273 748 gin 277 748 and 279 748 beer 281 748 harpooneers, 283 748 so 285 748 fuddled 287 748 as 291 748 one 293 748 might 295 748 fancy 299 748 them 301 748 to 303 748 have 305 748 been, 307 748 were 309 748 the 311 748 right 313 748 sort 315 748 of 317 748 men 321 748 to 325 748 stand 327 748 up 329 748 in 331 748 a 333 748 boat's 335 748 head, 337 748 and 339 748 take 343 748 good 345 748 aim 347 748 at 349 748 flying 351 748 whales; 353 748 this 355 748 would 359 748 seem 361 748 somewhat 365 748 improbable. 367 748 Yet 369 748 they 371 748 did 373 748 aim 375 748 at 377 748 them, 379 748 and 381 748 hit 383 748 them 387 748 too. 389 748 But 393 748 this 395 748 was 397 748 very 399 748 far 401 748 North, 403 748 be 405 748 it 409 748 remembered, 411 748 where 413 748 beer 415 748 agrees 417 748 well 419 748 with 421 748 the 423 748 constitution; 427 748 upon 431 748 the 433 748 Equator, 435 748 in 437 748 our 439 748 southern 441 748 fishery, 443 748 beer 445 748 would 447 748 be 449 748 apt 453 748 to 455 748 make 457 748 the 461 748 harpooneer 463 748 sleepy 465 748 at 467 748 the 469 748 mast-head 471 748 and 475 748 boozy 477 748 in 479 748 his 481 748 boat; 483 748 and 485 748 grievous 487 748 loss 489 748 might 491 748 ensue 497 748 to 499 748 Nantucket 501 748 and 503 748 New 505 748 Bedford. 507 748 But 509 748 no

three 549 748 centuries 551 748 ago 553 748 were 555 748 high 557 748 livers; 559 748 and 563 748 that 565 748 the 567 748 English 569 748 whalers 571 748 have 573 748 not 575 748 neglected 577 748 so 579 748 excellent 581 748 an 585 748 example. 587 748 For, 589 748 say 591 748 they, 593 748 when 597 748 cruising 599 748 in 601 748 an 603 748 empty 607 748 ship, 609 748 if 611 748 you 613 748 can

531 749 which, 533 749 after 534 749 an 536 749 unusually 537 749 long 538 749 raging 540 749 gale, 541 749 had 542 749 been 543 749 found 544 749 dead 545 749 and 547 749 stranded, 548 749 with 549

ribs 617 749 were 618 749 hung 619 749 with 620 749 trophies; 621 749 the 622 749 vertebrae 624 749 were 625 749 carved 626 749 with 627 749 Arsacidean 628 749 annals, 629 749 in 631 749 strange 632 749 hieroglyphics; 633 749 in 634 749 the 635 749 skull, 636 749 the 638 749 priests 639 749 kept 640 749 up 641 749 an 643 749 unextinguished 645 749 aromatic 646 749 flame, 647 749 so 648 749 that 649 749 the 650 749 mystic 652 749 head 653 749 again 654 749 sent 655 749 forth 656 749 its 657 749 vapoury 659 749 spout; 660 749 while, 661 749 suspended 662 749 from 663 749 a 664 749 bough, 666 749 the 667 749 terrific 668 749 lower 669 749 jaw 670 749 vibrated 671 749 over 673 749 all 674 749 the 675 749 devotees, 676 749 like 677 749 the 678 749 hair-hung 680 749 sword 681 749 that 682 749 so 683 749 affrighted 684 749 Damocles. 685 749 It 687 749 was 688 749 a 689 749 wondrous 690 749 sight. 691 749 The 692 749 wood 694 749 was 695 749 green 696 749 as 697 749 mosses 698 749 of 699 749 the 701 749 Icy 702 749 Glen; 703 749 the 704 749 trees 705 749 stood 706 749 high 708 749 and 709 749 haughty, 710 749 feeling 711 749 their 712 749 living 713 749 sap; 715 749 the 716 749 industrious 717 749 earth 718 749 beneath 719 749 was 720 749 as 722 749 a 723 749 weaver's 724 749 loom, 725 749 with 726 749 a 727 749 gorgeous 729 749 carpet 730 749 on 731 749 it, 732 749 whereof

750 great 119 750 sun 121 750 seemed 127 750 a 131 750 flying 133 750 shuttle 137 750 weaving 139 750 the 143 750 unwearied 149 750 verdure. 151 750 Oh, 157 750 busy 161 750 weaver! 163 750 unseen 167 750 weaver!--pause!--one 169 750 word!--whither 173 750 flows 179 750 the 181 750 fabric? 187 750 what 191 750 palace 193 750 may 197 750 it 199 750 deck? 203 750 wherefore 209 750 all 211 750 these 217 750 ceaseless 221 750 toilings? 223 750 Speak, 227 750 weaver!--stay 229 750 thy 233 750 hand!--but 239 750 one 241 750 single 247 750 word 251 750 with 253 750 thee! 257 750 Nay--the 259 750 shuttle 263 750 flies--the 269 750 figures 271 750 float 277 750 from 281 750 forth 283 750 the 287 750 loom; 289 750 the 293 750 freshet-rushing 299 750 carpet 301 750 for 307 750 ever 311 750 slides 313 750 away. 317 750 The 319 750 weaver-god, 323 750 he 329 750 weaves; 331 750 and 337 750 by 341 750 that 343 750 weaving 347 750 is 349 750 he 353 750 deafened, 359 750 that 361 750 he 367 750 hears 371 750 no 373 750 mortal 377 750 voice; 379 750 and 383 750 by 389 750 that 391 750 humming, 397 750 we, 401 750 too, 403 750 who 407 750 look 409 750 on 413 750 the 419 750 loom 421 750 are 427 750 deafened; 431 750 and 433 750 only 437 750 when 439 750 we 443 750 escape 449 750 it 451 750 shall 457 750 we 461 750 hear 463 750 the 467 750 thousand 469 750 voices 473 750 that 479 750 speak 481 750 through 487 750 it. 491 750 For 493 750 even 497 750 so 499 750 it 503 750 is 509 750 in 511 750 all 517 750 material 521 750 factories. 523 750 The 527 750 spoken 529 750 words 533 750 that 539 750 are 541 750 inaudible 547 750 among 551 750 the 553 750 flying 557 750 spindles; 559 750 those 563 750 same 569 750 words 571 750 are 577 750 plainly 581 750 heard 583 750 without 587 750 the 589 750 walls, 593 750 bursting 599 750 from 601 750 the 607 750 opened 611 750 casements. 613 750 Thereby 617 750 have 619 750 villainies 623 750 been 629 750 detected. 631 750 Ah, 637 750 mortal! 641 750 then, 643 750 be 647 750 heedful; 649 750 for 653 750 so, 659 750 in 661 750 all 667 750 this 671 750 din 673 750 of 677 750 the 679 750 great 683 750 world's 689 750 loom, 691 750 thy 697 750 subtlest 701 750 thinkings 703 750 may 707 750 be 709 750 overheard 713 750 afar. 719 750 Now, 721 750 amid 727 750 the 731 750 green, 733 750 life-restless 737 750 loom 739 750 of 743 750 that 749 750 Arsacidean 1 751 wood, 2 751 the 3 751 great, 4 751 white, 5 751 worshipped 6 751 skeleton 7 751 lay 8 751 lounging--a 9 751 gigantic 10 751 idler! 11 751 Yet, 12 751 as 13 751 the 14 751 ever-woven 15 751 verdant 16 751 warp 17 751 and 18 751 woof 19 751 intermixed 20 751 and 21 751 hummed 22 751 around 23 751 him, 24 751 the 25 751 mighty 26 751 idler 27 751 seemed 28 751 the 29 751 cunning 30 751 weaver; 31 751 himself 32 751 all 33 751 woven 34 751 over 35 751 with 36 751 the 37 751 vines; 38 751 every 39 751 month 40 751 assuming 41 751 greener, 42 751 fresher 43 751 verdure; 44 751 but 45 751 himself 46 751 a 47 751 skeleton. 48 751 Life 49 751 folded 50 751 Death; 51 751 Death 52 751 trellised 53 751 Life; 54 751 the 55 751 grim 56 751 god 57 751 wived 58 751 with 59 751 youthful 60 751 Life, 61 751 and 62 751 begat 63 751 him 64 751 curly-headed 65 751 glories. 66 751 Now, 67 751 when 68 751 with 69 751 royal 70 751 Tranquo 71 751 I 72 751 visited 73 751 this 74 751 wondrous 75 751 whale, 76 751 and 77 751 saw 78 751 the 79 751 skull 80 751 an 81 751 altar, 82 751 and 83 751 the 84 751 artificial 85 751 smoke 86 751 ascending 87 751 from 88 751 where 89 751 the 90 751 real 91 751 jet 92 751 had 93 751 issued, 94 751 I 95 751 marvelled 96 751 that 97 751 the 98 751 king 99 751 should 100 751 regard 101 751 a 102 751 chapel 103 751 as 104 751 an 105 751 object 106 751 of 107 751 vertu. 108 751 He 109 751 laughed. 110 751 But 111 751 more 112 751 I 113 751 marvelled 114 751 that 115 751 the 116 751 priests 117 751 should 118 751 swear 119 751 that 120 751 smoky 121 751 jet 122 751 of 123 751 his 124 751 was 125 751 genuine. 126 751 To 127 751 and 128 751 fro 129 751 I 130 751 paced 131 751 before 132 751 this 133 751 skeleton--brushed 134 751 the 135 751 vines 136 751 aside--broke 137 751 through 138 751 the 139 751 ribs--and 140 751 with 141 751 a 142 751 ball 143 751 of 144 751 Arsacidean 145 751 twine, 146 751 wandered, 147 751 eddied 148 751 long 149 751 amid 150 751 its 151 751 many 152 751 winding, 153 751 shaded 154 751 colonnades 155 751 and 156 751 arbours. 157 751 But 158 751 soon 159 751 my 160 751 line 161 751 was 162 751 out; 163 751 and 164 751 following 165 751 it 166 751 back, 167 751 I 168 751 emerged 169 751 from 170 751 the 171 751 opening 172 751 where 173 751 I 174 751 entered. 175 751 I 176 751 saw 177 751 no 178 751 living 179 751 thing 180 751 within; 181 751 naught 182 751 was 183 751 there 184 751 but 185 751 bones. 186 751 Cutting 187 751 me 188 751 a 189 751 green 190 751 measuring-rod, 191 751 I 192 751 once 193 751 more 194 751 dived 195 751 within 196 751 the 197 751 skeleton. 198 751 From 199 751 their 200 751 arrow-slit 201 751 in 202 751 the 203 751 skull, 204 751 the 205 751 priests 206 751 perceived 207 751 me 208 751 taking 209 751 the 210 751 altitude 211 751 of 212 751 the 213 751 final 214 751 rib, 215 751 "How 216 751 now!" 217 751 they 218 751 shouted; 219 751 "Dar'st 220 751 thou 221 751 measure 222 751 this 223 751 our 224 751 god! 225 751 That's 226 751 for 227 751 us." 228 751 "Aye, 229 751 priests--well, 230 751 how 231 751 long 232 751 do 233 751 ye 234 751 make 235 751 him, 236 751 then?" 237 751 But 238 751 hereupon 239 751 a 240 751 fierce 241 751 contest 242 751 rose 243 751 among 244 751 them, 245 751 concerning 246 751 feet 247 751 and 248 751 inches; 249 751 they 250 751 cracked 251 751 each 252 751 other's 253 751 sconces 254 751 with 255 751 their 256 751 yard-sticks--the 257 751 great 258 751 skull 259 751 echoed--and 260 751 seizing 261 751 that 262 751 lucky 263 751 chance, 264 751 I 265 751 quickly 266 751 concluded 267 751 my 268 751 own 269 751 admeasurements. 270 751 These 271 751 admeasurements 272 751 I 273 751 now 274 751 propose 275 751 to 276 751 set 277 751 before 278 751 you. 279 751 But 280 751 first, 281 751 be 282 751 it 283 751 recorded, 284 751 that, 285 751 in 286 751 this 287 751 matter, 288 751 I 289 751 am 290 751 not 291 751 free 292 751 to 293 751 utter 294 751 any 295 751 fancied 296 751 measurement 297 751 I 298 751 please. 299 751 Because 300 751 there 301 751 are 302 751 skeleton 303 751 authorities 304 751 you 305 751 can 306 751 refer 307 751 to, 308 751 to 309 751 test 310 751 my 311 751 accuracy. 312 751 There 313 751 is 314 751 a 315 751 Leviathanic 316 751 Museum, 317 751 they 318 751 tell 319 751 me, 320 751 in 321 751 Hull, 322 751 England, 323 751 one 324 751 of 325 751 the 326 751 whaling 327 751 ports 328 751 of 329 751 that 330 751 country, 331 751 where 332 751 they 333 751 have 334 751 some 335 751 fine 336 751 specimens 337 751 of 338 751 fin-backs 339 751 and 340 751 other 341 751 whales. 342 751 Likewise, 343 751 I 344 751 have 345 751 heard 346 751 that 347 751 in 348 751 the 349 751 museum 350 751 of 351 751 Manchester, 352 751 in 353 751 New 354 751 Hampshire, 355 751 they 356 751 have 357 751 what 358 751 the 359 751 proprietors 360 751 call 361 751 "the 362 751 only 363 751 perfect 364 751 specimen 365 751 of 366 751 a 367 751 Greenland 368 751 or 369 751 River 370 751 Whale 371 751 in 372 751 the 373 751 United 374 751 States." 375 751 Moreover, 376 751 at 377 751 a 378 751 place 379 751 in 380 751 Yorkshire, 381 751 England, 382 751 Burton 383 751 Constable 384 751 by 385 751 name, 386 751 a 387 751 certain 388 751 Sir 389 751 Clifford 390 751 Constable 391 751 has

751 means 408 751 of 409 751 the 410 751 full-grown 411 751 magnitude 412 751 of 413 751 my 414 751 friend 415 751 King 416 751 Tranquo's. 417 751 In 418 751 both 419 751 cases, 420 751 the 421 751 stranded 422 751 whales 423 751 to 424 751 which 425 751 these 426 751 two 427 751 skeletons 428 751 belonged, 429 751 were 430 751 originally 431 751 claimed 432 751 by 433 751 their 434 751

463 751 been 464 751 articulated 465 751 throughout; 466 751 so 467 751 that, 468 751 like 469 751 a 470 751 great 471 751 chest 472 751 of 473 751 drawers, 474 751 you 475 751 can 476 751 open 477

spine 676 753 of 677 753 even 679 753 the 680 753 hugest 682 753 of 683 753 living 685 753 things 686 753 tapers 688 753 off 689 753 at 691 753 last 692 753 into 694 753 simple 695 753 child's 697 753 play. 698 753 CHAPTER 700 753 104 701 753 The 703 753 Fossil 704 753 Whale. 706 753 From 707 753 his 709 753 mighty 710 753 bulk 712 753 the 713 753 whale 715 753 affords 716 753 a 718 753 most 719 753 congenial 721 753 theme 722 753 whereon 724 753 to 725 753 enlarge, 727 753 amplify, 728 753 and 730 753 generally 731 753 expatiate. 733 753 Would 734 753 you, 736 753 you 737 753 could 739 753 not 740 753 compress 742 753 him. 743 753 By 745 753 good 746 753 rights 748 753 he 749 753 should 751 753 only 752 753 be 1 754 treated 3 754 of 5 754 in 7 754 imperial 9 754 folio. 11 754 Not 15 754 to 17 754 tell 19 754 over 21 754 again 23 754 his 25 754 furlongs 27 754 from 31 754 spiracle 33 754 to 35 754 tail, 37 754 and 41 754 the 43 754 yards 45 754 he 47 754 measures 49 754 about 51 754 the 53 754 waist; 55 754 only 57 754 think 59 754 of 61 754 the 63 754 gigantic 67 754 involutions 69 754 of 71 754 his 73 754 intestines, 75 754 where 77 754 they 79 754 lie 81 754 in 83 754 him 85 754 like 89 754 great 93 754 cables 95 754 and 97 754 hawsers 99 754 coiled 101 754 away 103 754 in 105 754 the 107 754 subterranean 109 754 orlop-deck 111 754 of 113 754 a 115 754 line-of-battle-ship. 119 754 Since 121 754 I 123 754 have 125 754 undertaken 127 754 to 129 754 manhandle 131 754 this 133 754 Leviathan, 135 754 it 137 754 behooves 139 754 me 141 754 to 147 754 approve 149 754 myself 151 754 omnisciently 153 754 exhaustive 155 754 in 157 754 the 159 754 enterprise; 161 754 not 163 754 overlooking 165 754 the 167 754 minutest 171 754 seminal 173 754 germs 175 754 of 177 754 his 179 754 blood, 181 754 and 183 754 spinning 185 754 him 187 754 out 189 754 to 191 754 the 193 754 uttermost 197 754 coil 199 754 of 201 754 his 205 754 bowels. 207 754 Having 209 754 already 211 754 described 213 754 him 215 754 in 217 754 most 219 754 of 223 754 his 225 754 present 227 754 habitatory 229 754 and 231 754 anatomical 233 754 peculiarities, 235 754 it 237 754 now 239 754 remains 241 754 to 243 754 magnify 245 754 him 249 754 in 251 754 an 253 754 archaeological, 255 754 fossiliferous, 257 754 and 259 754 antediluvian 263 754 point 265 754 of 267 754 view. 269 754 Applied 271 754 to 275 754 any 277 754 other 279 754 creature 281 754 than 283 754 the 285 754 Leviathan--to 287 754 an 289 754 ant 291 754 or 293 754 a 295 754 flea--such 297 754 portly 301 754 terms 303 754 might 305 754 justly 307 754 be 309 754 deemed 311 754 unwarrantably 313 754 grandiloquent. 315 754 But 317 754 when 321 754 Leviathan 323 754 is 327 754 the 329 754 text, 331 754 the 333 754 case 335 754 is 337 754 altered. 339 754 Fain 341 754 am 343 754 I 345 754 to 347 754 stagger 349 754 to 353 754 this 355 754 emprise 357 754 under 359 754 the 361 754 weightiest 363 754 words 365 754 of 367 754 the 369 754 dictionary. 371 754 And 373 754 here 375 754 be 379 754 it 381 754 said, 383 754 that 385 754 whenever 387 754 it 389 754 has 391 754 been 393 754 convenient 395 754 to 397 754 consult 399 754 one 401 754 in 405 754 the 407 754 course 409 754 of 411 754 these 413 754 dissertations, 415 754 I 417 754 have 419 754 invariably 421 754 used 423 754 a 425 754 huge 427 754 quarto 431 754 edition 433 754 of 437 754 Johnson, 439 754 expressly 441 754 purchased 443 754 for 445 754 that 447 754 purpose; 449 754 because 451 754 that 453 754 famous 457 754 lexicographer's 459 754 uncommon 461 754 personal 463 754 bulk 465 754 more 467 754 fitted 469 754 him 471 754 to 473 754 compile 475 754 a 477 754 lexicon 479 754 to 483 754 be 485 754 used 487 754 by 489 754 a 491 754 whale 495 754 author 497 754 like 499 754 me. 501 754 One 503 754 often 505 754 hears 509 754 of 511 754 writers 513 754 that 515 754 rise 517 754 and 519 754 swell 521 754 with 523 754 their 525 754 subject, 527 754 though 529 754 it 531 754 may 535 754 seem 537 754 but 539 754 an 541 754 ordinary 543 754 one. 545 754 How, 547 754 then, 549 754 with 553 754 me, 555 754 writing 557 754 of 561 754 this 563 754 Leviathan? 565 754 Unconsciously 567 754 my 569 754 chirography 571 754 expands 573 754 into 575 754 placard 577 754 capitals. 579 754 Give 581 754 me 583 754 a 587 754 condor's 589 754 quill! 591 754 Give 593 754 me 595 754 Vesuvius' 597 754 crater 599 754 for 601 754 an 603 754 inkstand! 605 754 Friends, 607 754 hold 613 754 my 615 754 arms! 617 754 For 619 754 in 621 754 the 623 754 mere 625 754 act 627 754 of 629 754 penning 631 754 my 633 754 thoughts 635 754 of 639 754 this 641 754 Leviathan, 643 754 they 645 754 weary 647 754 me, 649 754 and 651 754 make 653 754 me 655 754 faint 657 754 with 659 754 their 661 754 outreaching 665 754 comprehensiveness 669 754 of 671 754 sweep, 673 754 as 675 754 if 677 754 to 679 754 include 681 754 the 683 754 whole 685 754 circle 687 754 of 691 754 the 693 754 sciences, 695 754 and 697 754 all 699 754 the 701 754 generations 703 754 of 705 754 whales, 707 754 and 709 754 men, 711 754 and 713 754 mastodons, 717 754 past, 719 754 present, 721 754 and 723 754 to 727 754 come, 729 754 with 731 754 all 733 754 the 735 754 revolving 737 754 panoramas 739 754 of 743 754 empire 745 754 on 747 754 earth, 749 754 and 751 754 throughout 753 754 the 1 755 whole 2 755 universe, 3 755 not 4 755 excluding 6 755 its 7 755 suburbs. 8 755 Such, 9 755 and 11 755 so 12 755 magnifying, 13 755 is 14 755 the 16 755 virtue 17 755 of 18 755 a 19 755 large 21 755 and 22 755 liberal 23 755 theme! 24 755 We 26 755 expand 27 755 to 28 755 its 29 755 bulk. 31 755 To 32 755 produce 33 755 a 34 755 mighty 36 755 book, 37 755 you 38 755 must 39 755 choose 41 755 a 42 755 mighty 43 755 theme. 44 755 No 46 755 great 47 755 and 48 755 enduring 49 755 volume 51 755 can 52 755 ever 53 755 be 54 755 written 56 755 on 57 755 the 58 755 flea, 59 755 though 61 755 many 62 755 there 63 755 be 64 755 who 66 755 have 67 755 tried 68 755 it. 69 755 Ere 71 755 entering 72 755 upon 73 755 the 74 755 subject 76 755 of 77 755 Fossil 78 755 Whales, 79 755 I 81 755 present 82 755 my 83 755 credentials 84 755 as 86 755 a 87 755 geologist, 88 755 by 89 755 stating 91 755 that 92 755 in 93 755 my 94 755 miscellaneous 96 755 time 97 755 I 98 755 have 99 755 been 101 755 a 102 755 stone-mason, 103 755 and 104 755 also 106 755 a 107 755 great 108 755 digger 109 755 of 111 755 ditches, 112 755 canals 113 755 and 114 755 wells, 116 755 wine-vaults, 117 755 cellars, 118 755 and 119 755 cisterns 121 755 of 122 755 all 123 755 sorts. 124 755 Likewise, 126 755 by 127 755 way 128 755 of 129 755 preliminary, 131 755 I 132 755 desire 133 755 to 134 755 remind 136 755 the 137 755 reader, 138 755 that 139 755 while 141 755 in 142 755 the 143 755 earlier 144 755 geological 146 755 strata 147 755 there 148 755 are 149 755 found 152 755 the 153 755 fossils 154 755 of 156 755 monsters 157 755 now 158 755 almost 159 755 completely 161 755 extinct; 162 755 the 163 755 subsequent 164 755 relics 166 755 discovered 167 755 in 168 755 what 169 755 are 171 755 called 172 755 the 173 755 Tertiary 174 755 formations 176 755 seem 177 755 the 178 755 connecting, 179 755 or 181 755 at 182 755 any 183 755 rate 184 755 intercepted 186 755 links, 187 755 between 188 755 the 189 755 antichronical 191 755 creatures, 192 755 and 193 755 those 194 755 whose 196 755 remote 197 755 posterity 198 755 are 199 755 said 201 755 to 202 755 have 203 755 entered 204 755 the 206 755 Ark; 207 755 all 208 755 the 209 755 Fossil 211 755 Whales 212 755 hitherto 213 755 discovered 214 755 belong 216 755 to 217 755 the 218 755 Tertiary 219 755 period, 221 755 which 222 755 is 223 755 the 224 755 last 226 755 preceding 227 755 the 228 755 superficial 229 755 formations. 231 755 And 232 755 though 233 755 none 234 755 of 236 755 them 237 755 precisely 238 755 answer 239 755 to 241 755 any 242 755 known 243 755 species 244 755 of 246 755 the 247 755 present 248 755 time, 249 755 they 251 755 are 252 755 yet 253 755 sufficiently 254 755 akin 256 755 to 257 755 them 258 755 in 259 755 general 261 755 respects, 262 755 to 263 755 justify 264 755 their 266 755 taking 267 755 rank 268 755 as 269 755 Cetacean 271 755 fossils. 272 755 Detached 273 755 broken 274 755 fossils 276 755 of 277 755 pre-adamite 278 755 whales, 279 755 fragments 281 755 of 282 755 their 283 755 bones 284 755 and 286 755 skeletons, 287 755 have 288 755 within 289 755 thirty 291 755 years 292 755 past, 293 755 at 294 755 various 296 755 intervals, 297 755 been 298 755 found 299 755 at 301 755 the 303 755 base 304 755 of 306 755 the 307 755 Alps, 308 755 in 309 755 Lombardy, 311 755 in 312 755 France, 313 755 in 314 755 England, 316 755 in 317 755 Scotland, 318 755 and 319 755 in 321 755 the 322 755 States 323 755 of 324 755 Louisiana, 326 755 Mississippi, 327 755 and 328 755 Alabama. 329 755 Among 331 755 the 332 755 more 333 755 curious 334 755 of 336 755 such 337 755 remains 338 755 is 339 755 part 341 755 of 342 755 a 343 755 skull, 344 755 which 346 755 in 347 755 the 348 755 year 349 755 1779 351 755 was 352 755 disinterred 353 755 in 354 755 the 356 755 Rue 357 755 Dauphine 358 755 in 359 755 Paris, 361 755 a 362 755 short 363 755 street 364 755 opening 366 755 almost 367 755 directly 368 755 upon 369 755 the 371 755 palace 372 755 of 373 755 the 374 755 Tuileries; 376 755 and 377 755 bones 378 755 disinterred 379 755 in 381 755 excavating 382 755 the 383 755 great 384 755 docks 386 755 of 387 755 Antwerp, 388 755 in 389 755 Napoleon's 391 755 time. 392 755 Cuvier 393 755 pronounced 394 755 these 396 755 fragments 397 755 to 398 755 have 399 755 belonged 401 755 to 402 755 some 403 755 utterly 404 755 unknown 406 755 Leviathanic 407 755 species. 408 755 But 409 755 by 411 755 far 412 755 the 413 755 most 414 755 wonderful 416 755 of 417 755 all 418 755 Cetacean 419 755 relics 421 755 was 422 755 the 423 755 almost 424 755 complete 426 755 vast 427 755 skeleton 428 755 of 429 755 an 431 755 extinct 432 755 monster, 433 755 found 434 755 in 436 755 the 437 755 year 438 755 1842, 439 755 on 441 755 the 442 755 plantation 443 755 of 444 755 Judge 446 755 Creagh, 447 755 in 448 755 Alabama. 449 755 The 451 755 awe-stricken 452 755 credulous 454 755 slaves 456 755 in 457 755 the 458 755 vicinity 459 755 took 461 755 it 462 755 for 463 755 the 464 755 bones 466 755 of 467 755 one 468 755 of 469 755 the 471 755 fallen 472 755 angels. 473 755 The 474 755 Alabama 476 755 doctors 477 755 declared 478 755 it 479 755 a 481 755 huge 482 755 reptile, 483 755 and 484 755 bestowed 486 755 upon 487 755 it 488 755 the 489 755 name 491 755 of 492 755 Basilosaurus. 493 755 But 494 755 some 496 755 specimen 497 755 bones 498 755 of 499 755 it 501 755 being 502 755 taken 503 755 across 504 755 the 506 755 sea 507 755 to 508 755 Owen, 509 755 the 511 755 English 512 755 Anatomist, 513 755 it 514 755 turned 516 755 out 517 755 that 518 755 this 519 755 alleged 521 755 reptile 522 755 was 523 755 a 524 755 whale, 526 755 though 527 755 of 528 755 a 529 755 departed 531 755 species. 532 755 A 533 755 significant 534 755 illustration 536 755 of 537 755 the 538 755 fact, 539 755 again 541 755 and 542 755 again 543 755 repeated 544 755 in 546 755 this 547 755 book, 548 755 that 549 755 the 551 755 skeleton 552 755 of 553 755 the 554 755 whale 556 755 furnishes 557 755 but 558 755 little 559 755 clue 561 755 to 562 755 the

Leviathan 659 756 swam 661 756 as 667 756 of 671 756 yore; 673 756 was 677 756 there 683 756 swimming 685 756 in 689 756 that 691 756 planisphere, 695 756 centuries 697 756 before 701 756 Solomon 703 756 was 709 756 cradled. 713 756 Nor 715 756 must 719 756 there 725 756 be 727 756 omitted 731 756 another 733 756 strange 737 756 attestation 739 756 of 743 756 the 745 756 antiquity 751 756 of 755 756 the 1 757 whale, 2 757 in 3 757 his 4 757 own 5 757 osseous 6 757 post-diluvian 7 757 reality, 8 757 as 9 757 set 10 757 down 11 757 by 12 757 the 13 757 venerable 14 757 John 15 757 Leo, 16 757

346 757 the 347 757 largest 348 757 is 349 757 the 350 757 Alabama 351 757 one 352 757 mentioned 353 757 in 354 757 the 355 757 last 356 757 chapter, 357 757 and 358 757 that 359 757 was 360 757 less

the 376 757 tape-measure 377 757 gives 378 757 seventy-two 379 757 feet 380 757 for 381 757 the 382 757 skeleton 383 757 of 384 757 a 385 757 large 386 757 sized 387 757 modern 388 757 whale. 389 757 And 390 757 I 391 757 have 392 757 heard, 393 757 on 394 757 whalemen's 395 757 authority, 396 757 that 397 757 Sperm 398 757 Whales 399 757 have 400 757 been 401 757 captured 402 757 near 403 757 a

757 Assuredly, 449 757 we 450 757 must 451 757 conclude 452 757 so, 453 757 if 454 757 we 455 757 are 456 757 to 457 757 credit 458 757 the 459 757 accounts 460 757 of 461 757 such 462 757 gentlemen

491 757 in 492 757 length--Rope 493 757 Walks 494 757 and 495 757 Thames 496 757 Tunnels 497 757 of 498 757 Whales! 499 757 And 500 757 even 501 757 in 502 757 the 503 757 days 504 757 of 505 757 Banks 506 757 and 507 757 Solander, 508 757 Cooke's 509 757 naturalists, 510 757 we 511 757 find 512 757 a 513 757 Danish 514 757 member 515 757 of 516 757 the 517 757 Academy 518 757 of 519 757 Sciences 520 757 setting 521 757 down 522 757 certain 523 757 Iceland 524 757 Whales 525 757 (reydan-siskur, 526 757 or 527 757 Wrinkled 528 757 Bellies) 529 757 at 530 757 one 531 757 hundred 532 757 and 533 757 twenty 534 757 yards; 535 757 that 536 757 is, 537 757 three 538 757 hundred 539 757 and 540 757 sixty 541 757 feet. 542 757 And 543 757 Lacepede, 544 757 the 545 757 French 546 757 naturalist, 547 757 in 548 757 his 549 757 elaborate 550 757 history 551 757 of 552 757 whales, 553 757 in 554 757 the 555 757 very 556 757 beginning 557 757 of 558 757 his 559 757 work 560 757 (page 561 757 3), 562 757 sets 563 757 down 564 757 the 565 757 Right 566 757 Whale 567 757 at 568 757 one 569 757 hundred 570 757 metres, 571 757 three 572 757 hundred 573 757 and 574 757 twenty-eight 575 757 feet. 576 757 And 577 757 this 578 757 work 579 757 was 580 757 published 581 757 so 582 757 late 583 757 as 584 757 A.D. 585 757 1825. 586 757 But 587 757 will 588 757 any 589 757 whaleman 590 757 believe 591 757 these 592 757 stories? 593 757 No. 594 757 The 595 757 whale 596 757 of 597 757 to-day 598 757 is 599 757 as 600 757 big 601 757 as 602 757 his 603 757 ancestors 604 757 in 605 757 Pliny's 606 757 time. 607 757 And 608 757 if 609 757 ever 610 757 I 611 757 go 612 757 where 613 757 Pliny 614 757 is, 615 757 I, 616 757 a 617 757 whaleman 618 757 (more 619 757 than 620 757 he 621 757 was), 622 757 will 623 757 make 624 757 bold 625 757 to 626 757 tell 627 757 him 628 757 so. 629 757 Because 630 757 I 631 757 cannot 632 757 understand 633 757 how 634 757 it 635 757 is, 636 757 that 637 757 while 638 757 the 639 757 Egyptian 640 757 mummies 641 757 that 642 757 were 643 757 buried 644 757 thousands 645 757 of 646 757 years 647 757 before 648 757 even 649 757 Pliny 650 757 was 651 757 born, 652 757 do 653 757 not 654 757 measure 655 757 so 656 757 much 657 757 in 658 757 their 659 757 coffins 660 757 as 661 757 a 662 757 modern 663 757 Kentuckian 664 757 in 665 757 his 666 757 socks; 667 757 and 668 757 while 669 757 the 670 757 cattle 671 757 and 672 757 other 673 757 animals 674 757 sculptured 675 757 on 676 757 the 677 757 oldest 678 757 Egyptian 679 757 and 680 757 Nineveh 681 757 tablets, 682 757 by 683 757 the 684 757 relative 685 757 proportions 686 757 in 687 757 which 688 757 they 689 757 are 690 757 drawn, 691 757 just 692 757 as 693 757 plainly 694 757 prove 695 757 that 696 757 the 697 757 high-bred, 698 757 stall-fed, 699 757 prize 700 757 cattle 701 757 of 702 757 Smithfield, 703 757 not 704 757 only 705 757 equal, 706 757 but 707 757 far 708 757 exceed 709 757 in 710 757 magnitude 711 757 the 712 757 fattest 713 757 of 714 757 Pharaoh's 715 757 fat 716 757 kine; 717 757 in 718 757 the 719 757 face 720 757 of 721 757 all 722 757 this, 723 757 I 724 757 will 725 757 not 726 757 admit 727 757 that 728 757 of 729 757 all 730 757 animals 731 757 the 732 757 whale 733 757 alone 734 757 should 735 757 have 736 757 degenerated. 737 757 But 738 757 still 739 757 another 740 757 inquiry 741 757 remains; 742 757 one 743 757 often 744 757 agitated 745 757 by 746 757 the 747 757 more 748 757 recondite 749 757 Nantucketers. 750 757 Whether 751 757 owing 752 757 to 753 757 the 754 757 almost 755 757 omniscient 756 757 look-outs 1 758 at 3 758 the 5 758 mast-heads 7 758 of 9 758 the 11 758 whaleships, 13 758 now 15 758 penetrating 17 758 even 19 758 through 21 758 Behring's 23 758 straits, 25 758 and 27 758 into 29 758 the 31 758 remotest 33 758 secret 35 758 drawers 37 758 and 39 758 lockers 41 758 of 43 758 the 45 758 world; 47 758 and 49 758 the 51 758 thousand 53 758 harpoons 55 758 and 57 758 lances 59 758 darted 61 758 along 63 758 all 65 758 continental 67 758 coasts; 69 758 the 71 758 moot 73 758 point 75 758 is, 77 758 whether 79 758 Leviathan 81 758 can 83 758 long 85 758 endure 87 758 so 89 758 wide 91 758 a 93 758 chase, 95 758 and 97 758 so 99 758 remorseless 101 758 a 103 758 havoc; 105 758 whether 107 758 he 109 758 must 111 758 not 113 758 at 115 758 last 117 758 be 119 758 exterminated 121 758 from 123 758 the 125 758 waters, 127 758 and 129 758 the 131 758 last 133 758 whale, 135 758 like 137 758 the 139 758 last 141 758 man, 143 758 smoke 145 758 his 147 758 last 149 758 pipe, 151 758 and 153 758 then 155 758 himself 157 758 evaporate 159 758 in 161 758 the 163 758 final 165 758 puff. 167 758 Comparing 169 758 the 171 758 humped 173 758 herds 175 758 of 177 758 whales 179 758 with 181 758 the 183 758 humped 185 758 herds 187 758 of 189 758 buffalo, 191 758 which, 193 758 not 195 758 forty 197 758 years 199 758 ago, 201 758 overspread 203 758 by 205 758 tens 207 758 of 209 758 thousands 211 758 the 213 758 prairies 215 758 of 217 758 Illinois 219 758 and 221 758 Missouri, 223 758 and 225 758 shook 227 758 their 229 758 iron 231 758 manes 233 758 and 235 758 scowled 237 758 with 239 758 their 241 758 thunder-clotted 243 758 brows 245 758 upon 247 758 the 249 758 sites 251 758 of 253 758 populous 255 758 river-capitals, 257 758 where 259 758 now 261 758 the 263 758 polite 265 758 broker 267 758 sells 269 758 you 271 758 land 273 758 at 275 758 a 277 758 dollar 279 758 an 281 758 inch; 283 758 in 285 758 such 287 758 a 289 758 comparison 291 758 an 293 758 irresistible 295 758 argument 297 758 would 299 758 seem 301 758 furnished, 303 758 to 305 758 show 307 758 that 309 758 the 311 758 hunted 313 758 whale 315 758 cannot 317 758 now 319 758 escape 321 758 speedy 323 758 extinction. 325 758 But 327 758 you 329 758 must 331 758 look 333 758 at 335 758 this 337 758 matter 339 758 in 341 758 every 343 758 light. 345 758 Though 347 758 so 349 758 short 351 758 a 353 758 period 355 758 ago--not 357 758 a 359 758 good 361 758 lifetime--the 363 758 census 365 758 of 367 758 the 369 758 buffalo 371 758 in 373 758 Illinois 375 758 exceeded 377 758 the 381 758 census 383 758 of 385 758 men 387 758 now 389 758 in 391 758 London, 393 758 and 395 758 though 397 758 at 399 758 the 401 758 present 403 758 day 405 758 not 407 758 one 409 758 horn 411 758 or 413 758 hoof 415 758 of 417 758 them 419 758 remains 421 758 in 423 758 all 425 758 that 427 758 region; 429 758 and 431 758 though 433 758 the 435 758 cause 437 758 of 439 758 this 441 758 wondrous 443 758 extermination 445 758 was 447 758 the 449 758 spear 451 758 of 453 758 man; 455 758 yet 457 758 the 459 758 far 461 758 different 463 758 nature 465 758 of 467 758 the 469 758 whale-hunt 471 758 peremptorily 473 758 forbids 475 758 so 477 758 inglorious 479 758 an 481 758 end 483 758 to 485 758 the 487 758 Leviathan. 489 758 Forty 491 758 men 493 758 in 495 758 one 497 758 ship 499 758 hunting 501 758 the 503 758 Sperm 505 758 Whales 507 758 for 509 758 forty-eight 511 758 months 513 758 think 515 758 they 517 758 have 519 758 done 521 758 extremely 523 758 well, 525 758 and 527 758 thank 529 758 God, 531 758 if 533 758 at 535 758 last 537 758 they 539 758 carry 541 758 home 543 758 the 545 758 oil 547 758 of 549 758 forty 551 758 fish. 553 758 Whereas, 555 758 in 557 758 the 559 758 days 561 758 of 563 758 the 565 758 old 567 758 Canadian 569 758 and 571 758 Indian 573 758 hunters 575 758 and 577 758 trappers 579 758 of 581 758 the 583 758 West, 585 758 when 587 758 the 589 758 far 591 758 west 593 758 (in 595 758 whose 597 758 sunset 599 758 suns 601 758 still 603 758 rise) 605 758 was 607 758 a 609 758 wilderness 611 758 and 613 758 a 615 758 virgin, 617 758 the 619 758 same 621 758 number 623 758 of 625 758 moccasined 627 758 men, 629 758 for 631 758 the 633 758 same 635 758 number 637 758 of 639 758 months, 641 758 mounted 643 758 on 645 758 horse 647 758 instead 649 758 of 651 758 sailing 653 758 in 655 758 ships, 657 758 would 659 758 have 661 758 slain 663 758 not 665 758 forty, 667 758 but 669 758 forty 671 758 thousand 673 758 and 675 758 more 677 758 buffaloes; 679 758 a 681 758 fact 683 758 that, 685 758 if 687 758 need 689 758 were, 691 758 could 693 758 be 695 758 statistically 697 758 stated. 699 758 Nor, 701 758 considered 703 758 aright, 705 758 does 707 758 it 709 758 seem 711 758 any 713 758 argument 715 758 in 717 758 favour 719 758 of 721 758 the 723 758 gradual 725 758 extinction 727 758 of 729 758 the 731 758 Sperm 733 758 Whale, 735 758 for 737 758 example, 739 758 that 741 758 in 743 758 former 745 758 years 747 758 (the 749 758 latter 751 758 part 753 758 of 755 758 the 757 758 last 1 759 century, 2 759 say) 4 759 these 5 759 Leviathans, 7 759 in 8 759 small 10 759 pods, 13 759 were 14 759 encountered 16 759 much 17 759 oftener 19 759 than 20 759 at 25 759 present, 26 759 and, 28 759 in 29 759 consequence, 31 759 the 32 759 voyages 34 759 were 35 759 not 37 759 so 38 759 prolonged, 40 759 and 41 759 were 43 759 also 47 759 much 49 759 more 50 759 remunerative. 52 759 Because, 53 759 as 56 759 has 58 759 been 59 759 elsewhere 61 759 noticed, 62 759 those 64 759 whales, 65 759 influenced 67 759 by 68 759 some 70 759 views 71 759 to 73 759 safety, 74 759 now 76 759 swim 79 759 the 80 759 seas 82 759 in 83 759 immense 85 759 caravans, 86 759 so 89 759 that 91 759 to 94 759 a 95 759 large 97 759 degree 98 759 the 100 759 scattered 101 759 solitaries, 103 759 yokes, 104 759 and 106 759 pods, 107 759 and 109 759 schools 112 759 of 113 759 other 116 759 days 118 759 are 119 759 now 122 759 aggregated 124 759 into 125 759 vast 127 759 but 128 759 widely 130 759 separated, 131 759 unfrequent 133 759 armies. 134 759 That 136 759 is 137 759 all. 139 759 And 140 759 equally 142 759 fallacious 145 759 seems 146 759 the 148 759 conceit, 149 759 that 151 759 because 152 759 the 155 759 so-called 157 759 whale-bone 158 759 whales 160 759 no 163 759 longer 164 759 haunt 166 759 many 167 759 grounds 169 759 in 170 759 former 172 759 years 173 759 abounding 175 759 with 178 759 them, 179 759 hence 181 759 that 182 759 species 185 759 also 188 759 is 190 759 declining. 191 759 For 193 759 they 194 759 are 196 759 only 197 759 being 199 759 driven 200 759 from 202 759 promontory 203 759 to 205 759 cape; 206 759 and 208 759 if 211 759 one 212 759 coast 214 759 is 215 759 no 217 759 longer 218 759 enlivened 221 759 with 223 759 their 224 759 jets, 226 759 then, 227 759 be 229 759 sure, 232 759 some 233 759 other 235 759 and 236 759 remoter 238 759 strand 239 759 has 241 759 been 244 759 very 245 759 recently 247 759 startled 248 759 by 250 759 the 251 759 unfamiliar 254 759 spectacle. 256 759 Furthermore: 257 759 concerning 259 759 these 260 759 last 262 759 mentioned 263 759 Leviathans, 265 759 they 266 759 have 268 759 two 269 759 firm 271 759 fortresses, 272 759 which, 274 759 in 277 759 all 278 759 human 280 759 probability, 281 759 will 283 759 for 284 759 ever 287 759 remain 289 759 impregnable. 290 759 And 292 759 as 293 759 upon 295 759 the 296 759 invasion 298 759 of 301 759 their 302 759 valleys, 304 759 the 305 759 frosty 307 759 Swiss 310 759 have 311 759 retreated 313 759 to 314 759 their 316 759 mountains; 317 759 so, 320 759 hunted 323 759 from 325 759 the 326 759 savannas 328 759 and 329 759 glades 331 759 of 332 759 the 334 759 middle 335 759 seas, 337 759 the 338 759 whale-bone 340 759 whales 343 759 can 344 759 at 346 759 last 347 759 resort 349 759 to 350 759 their 353 759 Polar 355 759 citadels, 356 759 and 358 759 diving 359 759 under 361 759 the 362 759 ultimate 364 759 glassy 365 759 barriers 367 759 and 370 759 walls 371 759 there, 373 759 come 376 759 up 377 759 among 379 759 icy 380 759 fields 382 759 and 383 759 floes; 386 759 and 388 759 in 389 759 a 392 759 charmed 394 759 circle 395 759 of 397 759 everlasting 398 759 December, 400 759 bid 401 759 defiance 403 759 to 404 759 all 406 759 pursuit 409 759 from 410 759 man. 412 759 But 413 759 as 415 759 perhaps 416 759 fifty 419 759 of 421 759 these 422 759 whale-bone 424 759 whales 425 759 are 427 759 harpooned 428 759 for 430 759 one 431 759 cachalot, 433 759 some 434 759 philosophers 436 759 of 439 759 the 442 759 forecastle 443 759 have 445 759 concluded 446 759 that 448 759 this 449 759 positive 452 759 havoc 454 759 has 455 759 already 457 759 very 458 759 seriously 461 759 diminished 463 759 their 464 759 battalions. 466 759 But 467 759 though 469 759 for 470 759 some 472 759 time 475 759 past 476 759 a 478 759 number 479 759 of 481 759 these 482 759 whales, 485 759 not 487 759 less 488 759 than 490 759 13,000, 491 759 have 493 759 been 494 759 annually 496 759 slain 497 759 on 499 759 the 500 759 nor'-west 502 759 coast 503 759 by 505 759 the 508 759 Americans 509 759 alone; 511 759 yet 512 759 there 514 759 are 515 759 considerations 518 759 which 520 759 render 521 759 even 523 759 this 524 759 circumstance 526 759 of 527 759 little 530 759 or 532 759 no 533 759 account 535 759 as 536 759 an 538 759 opposing 541 759 argument 542 759 in 544 759 this 545 759 matter. 547 759 Natural 548 759 as 551 759 it 553 759 is 554 759 to 556 759 be 557 759 somewhat 559 759 incredulous 560 759 concerning 562 759 the 563 759 populousness 565 759 of 566 759 the 568 759 more 569 759 enormous 571 759 creatures 574 759 of 577 759 the 578 759 globe, 580 759 yet 581 759 what 584 759 shall 586 759 we 587 759 say 589 759 to 590 759 Harto, 592 759 the 593 759 historian 595 759 of 596 759 Goa, 599 759 when 601 759 he 602 759 tells 604 759 us 607 759 that 608 759 at 610 759 one 611 759 hunting 613 759 the 614 759 King 617 759 of 619 759 Siam 620 759 took 622 759 4,000 623 759 elephants; 625 759 that 626 759 in 628 759 those 629 759 regions 631 759 elephants 632 759 are 634 759 numerous 635 759 as 637 759 droves 640 759 of 641 759 cattle 643 759 in 646 759 the 647 759 temperate 650 759 climes. 652 759 And 653 759 there 655 759 seems 656 759 no 658 759 reason 659 759 to 661 759 doubt 662 759 that 664 759 if 665 759 these 668 759 elephants, 670 759 which 673 759 have 674 759 now 676 759 been 677 759 hunted 679 759 for 680 759 thousands 683 759 of 685 759 years, 686 759 by 688 759 Semiramis, 689 759 by 691 759 Porus, 692 759 by 694 759 Hannibal, 695 759 and 697 759 by 698 759 all 700 759 the 701 759 successive 703 759 monarchs 706 759 of 707 759 the 709 759 East--if 710 759 they 712 759 still 716 759 survive 718 759 there 719 759 in 721 759 great 722 759 numbers, 724 759 much 725 759 more 727 759 may 728 759 the 730 759 great 731 759 whale 733 759 outlast 734 759 all 739 759 hunting, 740 759 since 742 759 he 743 759 has 745 759 a 746 759 pasture 749 759 to 751 759 expatiate 752 759 in, 754 759 which 755 759 is 757 759 precisely 758 759 twice 1 760 as 3 760 large 7 760 as 9 760 all 11 760 Asia, 13 760 both 17 760 Americas, 21 760 Europe 23 760 and 27 760 Africa, 29 760 New 31 760 Holland, 33 760 and 37 760 all 39 760 the 41 760 Isles 43 760 of 47 760 the 49 760 sea 51 760 combined. 53 760 Moreover: 59 760 we 61 760 are 63 760 to 67 760 consider, 69 760 that 71 760 from 73 760 the 77 760 presumed 79 760 great 81 760 longevity 83 760 of 87 760 whales, 89 760 their 91 760 probably 93 760 attaining 97 760 the 99 760 age 101 760 of 103 760 a 107 760 century 109 760 and 111 760 more, 113 760 therefore 117 760 at 119 760 any 121 760 one 123 760 period 127 760 of 129 760 time, 131 760 several 137 760 distinct 139 760 adult 141 760 generations 143 760 must 147 760 be 149 760 contemporary. 151 760 And 153 760 what 157 760 that 159 760 is, 161 760 we 163 760 may 167 760 soon 169 760 gain 173 760 some 177 760 idea 179 760 of, 181 760 by 183 760 imagining 187 760 all 189 760 the 191 760 grave-yards, 193 760 cemeteries, 197 760 and 199 760 family 201 760 vaults 203 760 of 207 760 creation 211 760 yielding 213 760 up 217 760 the 219 760 live 221 760 bodies 223 760 of 227 760 all 229 760 the 231 760 men, 233 760 women, 237 760 and 239 760 children 241 760 who 243 760 were 249 760 alive 251 760 seventy-five 253 760 years 257 760 ago; 259 760 and 261 760 adding 263 760 this 267 760 countless 269 760 host 271 760 to 273 760 the 277 760 present 279 760 human 281 760 population 283 760 of 287 760 the 289 760 globe. 291 760 Wherefore, 293 760 for 297 760 all 299 760 these 301 760 things, 303 760 we 307 760 account 309 760 the 311 760 whale 313 760 immortal 317 760 in 319 760 his 321 760 species, 327 760 however 329 760 perishable 331 760 in 333 760 his 337 760 individuality. 339 760 He 341 760 swam 343 760 the 347 760 seas 349 760 before 351 760 the 353 760 continents 357 760 broke 359 760 water; 363 760 he 367 760 once 369 760 swam 371 760 over 373 760 the 377 760 site 379 760 of 381 760 the 383 760 Tuileries, 387 760 and 389 760 Windsor 391 760 Castle, 393 760 and 397 760 the 401 760 Kremlin. 403 760 In 407 760 Noah's 409 760 flood 411 760 he 413 760 despised 417 760 Noah's 419 760 Ark; 421 760 and 423 760 if 427 760 ever 429 760 the 431 760 world 433 760 is 439 760 to 441 760 be 443 760 again 447 760 flooded, 449 760 like 451 760 the 453 760 Netherlands, 457 760 to 459 760 kill 461 760 off 463 760 its 467 760 rats, 469 760 then 471 760 the 473 760 eternal 477 760 whale 479 760 will 481 760 still 483 760 survive, 487 760 and 489 760 rearing 491 760 upon 493 760 the 497 760 topmost 499 760 crest 501 760 of 503 760 the 507 760 equatorial 509 760 flood, 511 760 spout 517 760 his 519 760 frothed 521 760 defiance 523 760 to 527 760 the 529 760 skies. 531 760 CHAPTER 533 760 106 537 760 Ahab's 539 760 Leg. 541 760 The 543 760 precipitating 547 760 manner 549 760 in 553 760 which 557 760 Captain 559 760 Ahab 561 760 had 563 760 quitted 567 760 the 569 760 Samuel 571 760 Enderby 573 760 of 577 760 London, 579 760 had 581 760 not 583 760 been 587 760 unattended 591 760 with 593 760 some 597 760 small 599 760 violence 601 760 to 603 760 his 607 760 own 609 760 person. 611 760 He 613 760 had 617 760 lighted 619 760 with 621 760 such 623 760 energy 629 760 upon 631 760 a 633 760 thwart 637 760 of 639 760 his 641 760 boat 643 760 that 647 760 his 649 760 ivory 651 760 leg 653 760 had 657 760 received 659 760 a 661 760 half-splintering 663 760 shock. 667 760 And 669 760 when 671 760 after 673 760 gaining 677 760 his 679 760 own 681 760 deck, 683 760 and 687 760 his 689 760 own 691 760 pivot-hole 693 760 there, 697 760 he 699 760 so 701 760 vehemently 707 760 wheeled 709 760 round 711 760 with 713 760 an 717 760 urgent 719 760 command 721 760 to 723 760 the 727 760 steersman 729 760 (it 731 760 was, 733 760 as 737 760 ever, 739 760 something 743 760 about 747 760 his 749 760 not 751 760 steering 753 760 inflexibly 757 760 enough); 759 760 then, 1 761 the 2 761 already 3 761 shaken 4 761 ivory 5 761 received 6 761 such 7 761 an 8 761 additional 9 761 twist 10 761 and 11 761 wrench, 12 761 that 13 761 though 14 761 it 15 761 still 16 761 remained 17 761 entire, 18 761 and 19 761 to 20 761 all 21 761 appearances 22 761 lusty, 23 761 yet 24 761 Ahab 25 761 did 26 761 not 27 761 deem 28 761 it 29 761 entirely 30 761 trustworthy. 31 761 And, 32 761 indeed, 33 761 it 34 761 seemed 35 761 small 36 761 matter 37 761 for 38 761 wonder, 39 761 that 40 761 for 41 761 all 42 761 his 43 761 pervading, 44 761 mad 45 761 recklessness, 46 761 Ahab 47 761 did 48 761 at 49 761 times 50 761 give 51 761 careful 52 761 heed 53 761 to 54 761 the 55 761 condition 56 761 of 57 761 that 58 761 dead 59 761 bone 60 761 upon 61 761 which 62 761 he 63 761 partly 64 761 stood. 65 761 For 66 761 it 67 761 had 68 761 not 69 761 been 70 761 very 71 761 long 72 761 prior 73 761 to 74 761 the 75 761 Pequod's 76 761 sailing 77 761 from 78 761 Nantucket, 79 761 that 80 761 he 81 761 had 82 761 been 83 761 found 84 761 one 85 761 night 86 761 lying 87 761 prone 88 761 upon 89 761 the 90 761 ground, 91 761 and 92 761 insensible; 93 761 by 94 761 some 95 761 unknown, 96 761 and 97 761 seemingly 98 761 inexplicable, 99 761 unimaginable 100 761 casualty, 101 761 his 102 761 ivory 103 761 limb 104 761 having 105 761 been 106 761 so 107 761 violently 108 761 displaced, 109 761 that 110 761 it 111 761 had 112 761 stake-wise 113 761 smitten, 114 761 and 115 761 all 116 761 but 117 761 pierced 118 761 his 119 761 groin; 120 761 nor 121 761 was 122 761 it 123 761 without 124 761 extreme 125 761 difficulty 126 761 that 127 761 the 128 761 agonizing 129 761 wound 130 761 was 131 761 entirely 132 761 cured. 133 761 Nor, 134 761 at 135 761 the 136 761 time, 137 761 had 138 761 it 139 761 failed 140 761 to 141 761 enter 142 761 his 143 761 monomaniac 144 761 mind, 145 761 that 146 761 all 147 761 the 148 761 anguish 149 761 of 150 761 that 151 761 then 152 761 present 153 761 suffering 154 761 was 155 761 but 156 761 the 157 761 direct 158 761 issue 159 761 of 160 761 a 161 761 former 162 761 woe; 163 761 and 164 761 he 165 761 too 166 761 plainly 167 761 seemed 168 761 to 169 761 see, 170 761 that 171 761 as 172 761 the 173 761 most 174 761 poisonous 175 761 reptile 176 761 of 177 761 the 178 761 marsh 179 761 perpetuates 180 761 his 181 761 kind 182 761 as 183 761 inevitably 184 761 as 185 761 the 186 761 sweetest 187 761 songster 188 761 of 189 761 the 190 761 grove; 191 761 so, 192 761 equally 193 761 with 194 761 every 195 761 felicity, 196 761 all 197 761 miserable 198 761 events 199 761 do 200 761 naturally 201 761 beget 202 761 their 203 761 like. 204 761 Yea, 205 761 more 206 761 than 207 761 equally, 208 761 thought 209 761 Ahab; 210 761 since 211 761 both 212 761 the 213 761 ancestry 214 761 and 215 761 posterity 216 761 of 217 761 Grief 218 761 go 219 761 further 220 761 than 221 761 the 222 761 ancestry 223 761 and 224 761 posterity 225 761 of 226 761 Joy. 227 761 For, 228 761 not 229 761 to 230 761 hint 231 761 of 232 761 this: 233 761 that 234 761 it 235 761 is 236 761 an 237 761 inference 238 761 from 239 761 certain 240 761 canonic 241 761 teachings, 242 761 that 243 761 while 244 761 some 245 761 natural 246 761 enjoyments 247 761 here 248 761 shall 249 761 have 250 761 no 251 761 children 252 761 born 253 761 to 254 761 them 255 761 for 256 761 the 257 761 other 258 761 world, 259 761 but, 260 761 on 261 761 the 262 761 contrary, 263 761 shall 264 761 be 265 761 followed 266 761 by 267 761 the 268 761 joy-childlessness 269 761 of 270 761 all 271 761 hell's 272 761 despair; 273 761 whereas, 274 761 some 275 761 guilty 276 761 mortal 277 761 miseries 278 761 shall 279 761 still 280 761 fertilely 281 761 beget 282 761 to 283 761 themselves 284 761 an 285 761 eternally 286 761 progressive 287 761 progeny 288 761 of 289 761 griefs 290 761 beyond 291 761 the 292 761 grave; 293 761 not 294 761 at 295 761 all 296 761 to 297 761 hint 298 761 of 299 761 this, 300 761 there 301 761 still 302 761 seems 303 761 an 304 761 inequality 305 761 in 306 761 the 307 761 deeper 308 761 analysis 309 761 of 310 761 the 311 761 thing. 312 761 For, 313 761 thought 314 761 Ahab, 315 761 while 316 761 even 317 761 the 318 761 highest 319 761 earthly 320 761 felicities 321 761 ever 322 761 have 323 761 a 324 761 certain 325 761 unsignifying 326 761 pettiness 327 761 lurking 328 761 in 329 761 them, 330 761 but, 331 761 at 332 761 bottom, 333 761 all 334 761 heartwoes, 335 761 a 336 761 mystic 337 761 significance, 338 761 and, 339 761 in 340 761 some 341 761 men, 342 761 an 343 761 archangelic 344 761 grandeur; 345 761 so 346 761 do 347 761 their 348 761 diligent 349 761 tracings-out 350 761 not 351 761 belie 352 761 the 353 761 obvious 354 761 deduction. 355 761 To 356 761 trail 357 761 the 358 761 genealogies 359 761 of 360 761 these 361 761 high 362 761 mortal 363 761 miseries, 364 761 carries 365 761 us 366 761 at 367 761 last 368 761 among 369 761 the 370 761 sourceless 371 761 primogenitures 372 761 of 373 761 the 374 761 gods; 375 761 so 376 761 that, 377 761 in 378 761 the 379 761 face 380 761 of 381 761 all 382 761 the 383 761 glad, 384 761 hay-making 385 761 suns, 386 761 and 387 761 soft 388 761 cymballing, 389 761 round 390 761 harvest-moons, 391 761 we 392 761 must 393 761 needs 394 761 give 395 761 in 396 761 to 397 761 this: 398 761 that 399 761 the 400 761 gods 401 761 themselves 402 761 are 403 761 not 404 761 for 405 761 ever 406 761 glad. 407 761 The 408 761 ineffaceable, 409 761 sad 410 761 birth-mark 411 761 in 412 761 the 413 761 brow 414 761 of 415 761 man, 416 761 is 417 761 but 418 761 the 419 761 stamp 420 761 of 421 761 sorrow 422 761 in 423 761 the 424 761 signers. 425 761 Unwittingly 426 761 here 427 761 a 428 761 secret 429 761 has 430 761 been 431 761 divulged, 432 761 which 433 761 perhaps 434 761 might 435 761 more 436 761 properly, 437 761 in 438 761 set 439 761 way, 440 761 have 441 761 been 442 761 disclosed 443 761 before. 444 761 With 445 761 many 446 761 other 447 761 particulars 448 761 concerning 449 761 Ahab, 450 761 always 451 761 had 452 761 it 453 761 remained 454 761 a 455 761 mystery 456 761 to 457 761 some, 458 761 why 459 761 it 460 761 was, 461 761 that 462 761 for 463 761 a 464 761 certain 465 761 period, 466 761 both 467 761 before 468 761 and 469 761 after 470 761 the 471 761 sailing 472 761 of 473 761 the 474 761 Pequod, 475 761 he 476 761 had 477 761 hidden 478 761 himself 479 761 away 480 761 with 481 761 such 482 761 Grand-Lama-like 483 761 exclusiveness; 484 761 and, 485 761 for 486 761 that 487 761 one 488 761 interval, 489 761 sought 490 761 speechless 491 761 refuge, 492 761 as 493 761 it 494 761 were, 495 761 among 496 761 the 497 761 marble 498 761 senate 499 761 of 500 761 the 501 761 dead. 502 761 Captain 503 761 Peleg's 504 761 bruited 505 761 reason 506 761 for 507 761 this 508 761 thing 509 761 appeared 510 761 by 511 761 no 512 761 means 513 761 adequate; 514 761 though, 515 761 indeed, 516 761 as 517 761 touching 518 761 all 519 761 Ahab's 520 761 deeper 521 761 part, 522 761 every 523 761 revelation 524 761 partook 525 761 more 526 761 of 527 761 significant 528 761 darkness 529 761 than 530 761 of 531 761 explanatory 532 761 light. 533 761 But, 534 761 in 535 761 the 536 761 end, 537 761 it 538 761 all 539 761 came 540 761 out; 541 761 this 542 761 one 543 761 matter 544 761 did, 545 761 at 546 761 least. 547 761 That 548 761 direful 549 761 mishap 550 761 was 551 761 at 552 761 the 553 761 bottom 554 761 of 555 761 his 556 761 temporary 557 761 recluseness. 558 761 And 559 761 not 560 761 only 561 761 this, 562 761 but 563 761 to 564 761 that 565 761 ever-contracting, 566 761 dropping 567 761 circle 568 761 ashore, 569 761 who, 570 761 for 571 761 any 572 761 reason, 573 761 possessed 574 761 the 575 761 privilege 576 761 of 577 761 a 578 761 less 579 761 banned 580 761 approach 581 761 to 582 761 him; 583 761 to 584 761 that 585 761 timid 586 761 circle 587 761 the 588 761 above 589 761 hinted 590 761 casualty--remaining, 591 761 as 592 761 it 593 761 did, 594 761 moodily 595 761 unaccounted 596 761 for 597 761 by 598 761 Ahab--invested 599 761 itself 600 761 with 601 761 terrors, 602 761 not 603 761 entirely 604 761 underived 605 761 from 606 761 the 607 761 land 608 761 of 609 761 spirits 610 761 and 611 761 of 612 761 wails. 613 761 So 614 761 that, 615 761 through 616 761 their 617 761 zeal 618 761 for 619 761 him, 620 761 they 621 761 had 622 761 all 623 761 conspired, 624 761 so 625 761 far 626 761 as 627 761 in 628 761 them 629 761 lay, 630 761 to 631 761 muffle 632 761 up 633 761 the 634 761 knowledge 635 761 of 636 761 this 637 761 thing 638 761 from 639 761 others; 640 761 and 641 761 hence 642 761 it 643 761 was, 644 761 that 645 761 not 646 761 till 647 761 a 648 761 considerable 649 761 interval 650 761 had 651 761 elapsed, 652 761 did 653 761 it 654 761 transpire 655 761 upon 656 761 the 657 761 Pequod's 658 761 decks. 659 761 But 660 761 be 661 761 all 662 761 this 663 761 as 664 761 it 665 761 may; 666 761 let 667 761 the 668 761 unseen, 669 761 ambiguous 670 761 synod 671 761 in 672 761 the 673 761 air, 674 761 or 675 761 the 676 761 vindictive 677 761 princes 678 761 and 679 761 potentates 680 761 of 681 761 fire, 682 761 have 683 761 to

took 700 761 plain 701 761 practical 702 761 procedures;--he 703 761 called 704 761 the 705 761 carpenter. 706 761 And 707 761 when 708 761 that 709 761 functionary 710 761 appeared 711 761 before 712 761 him, 713 761 he 714 761 bade 715 761 him 716 761 without 717 761 delay 718 761 set 719 761 about 720 761 making 721 761 a 722 761 new 723 761 leg, 724 761 and 725 761 directed 726 761 the 727 761

190 763 board, 191 763 and 192 763 is 193 763 made 194 763 a 195 763 captive: 197 763 out 198 763 of 199 763 clean 200 763 shaved 201 763 rods 202 763 of 204 763 right-whale 205 763 bone, 206 763 and 207 763 cross-beams 208 763 of 209 763 sperm 211 763 whale 212 763 ivory, 213 763 the 214 763 carpenter 215 763 makes 216 763 a 219 763 pagoda-looking 220 763 cage 221 763 for 222 763 it. 223 763 An 225 763 oarsman 226 763 sprains 227 763 his 228 763 wrist: 229 763 the 230 763 carpenter 232 763 concocts 233 763 a 234 763 soothing 235 763 lotion. 236 763 Stubb 237 763 longed 239 763 for 240 763 vermillion 241 763 stars 242 763 to 243 763 be 244 763 painted 246 763 upon 247 763 the 248 763 blade 249 763 of 250 763 his 251 763 every 253 763 oar; 254 763 screwing 255 763 each 256 763 oar 257 763 in 258 763 his 260 763 big 261 763 vice 262 763 of 263 763 wood, 264 763 the 265 763 carpenter 267 763 symmetrically 268 763 supplies 269 763 the 270 763 constellation. 271 763 A 272 763 sailor 274 763 takes 275 763 a 276 763 fancy 277 763 to 278 763 wear 279 763 shark-bone 281 763 ear-rings: 282 763 the 283 763 carpenter 284 763 drills 285 763 his 286 763 ears. 288 763 Another 289 763 has 290 763 the 291 763 toothache: 292 763 the 293 763 carpenter 295 763 out 296 763 pincers, 297 763 and 298 763 clapping 299 763 one 300 763 hand 302 763 upon 303 763 his 304 763 bench 305 763 bids 306 763 him 307 763 be 309 763 seated 310 763 there; 311 763 but 312 763 the 313 763 poor 314 763 fellow 316 763 unmanageably 317 763 winces 318 763 under 319 763 the 320 763 unconcluded 321 763 operation; 323 763 whirling 324 763 round 325 763 the 326 763 handle 328 763 of 330 763 his 331 763 wooden 332 763 vice, 333 763 the 334 763 carpenter 335 763 signs 337 763 him 338 763 to 339 763 clap 340 763 his 341 763 jaw 342 763 in 344 763 that, 345 763 if 346 763 he 347 763 would 348 763 have 349 763 him 351 763 draw 352 763 the 353 763 tooth. 354 763 Thus, 355 763 this 356 763 carpenter 358 763 was 359 763 prepared 360 763 at 361 763 all 362 763 points, 363 763 and 365 763 alike 366 763 indifferent 367 763 and 368 763 without 369 763 respect 370 763 in 372 763 all. 373 763 Teeth 374 763 he 375 763 accounted 376 763 bits 377 763 of 379 763 ivory; 380 763 heads 381 763 he 382 763 deemed 383 763 but 384 763 top-blocks; 386 763 men 387 763 themselves 388 763 he 389 763 lightly 390 763 held 391 763 for 393 763 capstans. 394 763 But 395 763 while 396 763 now 397 763 upon 398 763 so 400 763 wide 401 763 a 402 763 field 403 763 thus 404 763 variously 405 763 accomplished 407 763 and 408 763 with 409 763 such 410 763 liveliness 411 763 of 412 763 expertness 414 763 in 415 763 him, 416 763 too; 417 763 all 418 763 this 419 763 would 421 763 seem 422 763 to 423 763 argue 424 763 some 425 763 uncommon 426 763 vivacity 428 763 of 429 763 intelligence. 430 763 But 431 763 not 432 763 precisely 433 763 so. 435 763 For 437 763 nothing 438 763 was 439 763 this 440 763 man 442 763 more 443 763 remarkable, 444 763 than 445 763 for 446 763 a 447 763 certain 449 763 impersonal 450 763 stolidity 451 763 as 452 763 it 453 763 were; 454 763 impersonal, 456 763 I 457 763 say; 458 763 for 459 763 it 460 763 so 461 763 shaded 463 763 off 464 763 into 465 763 the 466 763 surrounding 467 763 infinite 468 763 of 470 763 things, 471 763 that 472 763 it 473 763 seemed 474 763 one 475 763 with 477 763 the 478 763 general 479 763 stolidity 480 763 discernible 481 763 in 482 763 the 484 763 whole 485 763 visible 486 763 world; 487 763 which 488 763 while 489 763 pauselessly 491 763 active 492 763 in 493 763 uncounted 494 763 modes, 495 763 still 496 763 eternally 498 763 holds 499 763 its 500 763 peace, 501 763 and 502 763 ignores 503 763 you, 505 763 though 506 763 you 507 763 dig 508 763 foundations 509 763 for 510 763 cathedrals. 512 763 Yet 513 763 was 514 763 this 515 763 half-horrible 516 763 stolidity 517 763 in 519 763 him, 520 763 involving, 521 763 too, 522 763 as 523 763 it 524 763 appeared, 526 763 an 527 763 all-ramifying 528 763 heartlessness;--yet 529 763 was 530 763 it 531 763 oddly 533 763 dashed 534 763 at 535 763 times, 536 763 with 537 763 an 538 763 old, 540 763 crutch-like, 541 763 antediluvian, 542 763 wheezing 543 763 humorousness, 544 763 not 547 763 unstreaked 548 763 now 549 763 and 550 763 then 551 763 with 552 763 a 554 763 certain 555 763 grizzled 556 763 wittiness; 557 763 such 558 763 as 559 763 might 561 763 have 562 763 served 563 763 to 564 763 pass 565 763 the 566 763 time 568 763 during 569 763 the 570 763 midnight 571 763 watch 572 763 on 573 763 the 575 763 bearded 576 763 forecastle 577 763 of 578 763 Noah's 579 763 ark. 580 763 Was 582 763 it 583 763 that 584 763 this 585 763 old 586 763 carpenter 587 763 had 589 763 been 590 763 a 591 763 life-long 592 763 wanderer, 593 763 whose 594 763 much 596 763 rolling, 597 763 to 598 763 and 599 763 fro, 600 763 not 601 763 only 603 763 had 604 763 gathered 605 763 no 606 763 moss; 607 763 but 608 763 what 610 763 is 611 763 more, 612 763 had 613 763 rubbed 614 763 off 615 763 whatever 617 763 small 618 763 outward 619 763 clingings 620 763 might 621 763 have 622 763 originally 624 763 pertained 625 763 to 626 763 him? 627 763 He 628 763 was 629 763 a 631 763 stript 632 763 abstract; 633 763 an 634 763 unfractioned 635 763 integral; 636 763 uncompromised 638 763 as 639 763 a 640 763 new-born 641 763 babe; 642 763 living 643 763 without 645 763 premeditated 646 763 reference 647 763 to 648 763 this 649 763 world 650 763 or 652 763 the 653 763 next. 655 763 You 656 763 might 657 763 almost 659 763 say, 660 763 that 661 763 this 662 763 strange 663 763 uncompromisedness 664 763 in 666 763 him 667 763 involved 668 763 a 669 763 sort 670 763 of 671 763 unintelligence; 673 763 for 674 763 in 675 763 his 676 763 numerous 677 763 trades, 678 763 he 680 763 did 681 763 not 682 763 seem 683 763 to 684 763 work 685 763 so 687 763 much 688 763 by 689 763 reason 690 763 or 691 763 by 692 763 instinct, 694 763 or 695 763 simply 696 763 because 697 763 he 698 763 had 699 763 been 701 763 tutored 702 763 to 703 763 it, 704 763 or 705 763 by 706 763 any 708 763 intermixture 709 763 of 710 763 all 711 763 these, 712 763 even 713 763 or 715 763 uneven; 716 763 but 717 763 merely 718 763 by 719 763 a 720 763 kind 722 763 of 723 763 deaf 724 763 and 725 763 dumb, 726 763 spontaneous 727 763 literal 729 763 process. 730 763 He 731 763 was 732 763 a 733 763 pure 734 763 manipulator; 736 763 his 737 763 brain, 738 763 if 739 763 he 740 763 had 741 763 ever 743 763 had 744 763 one, 745 763 must 746 763 have 747 763 early 748 763 oozed 750 763 along 751 763 into 752 763 the 753 763 muscles 754 763 of 755 763 his 757 763 fingers. 758 763 He 759 763 was 760 763 like 761 763 one 762 763 of 1 764 those 3 764 unreasoning 5 764 but 7 764 still 9 764 highly 11 764 useful, 13 764 MULTUM 15 764 IN 17 764 PARVO, 19 764 Sheffield 21 764 contrivances, 23 764 assuming 25 764 the 27 764 exterior--though 29 764 a 31 764 little 33 764 swelled--of 35 764 a 37 764 common 39 764 pocket 41 764 knife; 43 764 but 45 764 containing, 47 764 not 49 764 only 51 764 blades 53 764 of 55 764 various 57 764 sizes, 59 764 but 61 764 also 63 764 screw-drivers, 65 764 cork-screws, 67 764 tweezers, 69 764 awls, 71 764 pens, 73 764 rulers, 75 764 nail-filers, 77 764 countersinkers. 79 764 So, 81 764 if 83 764 his 85 764 superiors 87 764 wanted 89 764 to 91 764 use 93 764 the 95 764 carpenter 97 764 for 99 764 a 101 764 screw-driver, 103 764 all 105 764 they 107 764 had 109 764 to 111 764 do 113 764 was 115 764 to 117 764 open 119 764 that 121 764 part 123 764 of 125 764 him, 127 764 and 129 764 the 131 764 screw 133 764 was 135 764 fast: 137 764 or 139 764

previously 171 764 hinted, 173 764 this 175 764 omnitooled, 177 764 open-and-shut 179 764 carpenter, 181 764 was, 183 764 after 185 764 all, 187 764 no 189 764 mere 193 764 machine 195 764 of 197 764 an 199 764 automaton. 201 764 If 203 764 he 205 764 did 207 764 not 209 764 have 211 764 a 213 764 common 215 764 soul 217 764 in 219 764 him, 221 764 he 223 764 had 225 764 a 227 764 subtle 229 764 something 231 764 that 233 764 somehow 235 764 anomalously 237 764 did 239 764 its 241 764 duty. 243 764 What 245 764 that 247 764 was, 249 764 whether 251 764 essence 253 764 of 255 764 quicksilver,

764 soliloquizes; 377 764 or 379 764 rather, 381 764 his 383 764 body 385 764 was 387 764 a 389 764 sentry-box 391 764 and 393 764 this 395 764 soliloquizer 397 764 on 399 764 guard 401 764 there, 403

162 769 into 163 769 the 164 769 cabin, 165 769 with 166 769 a 167 769 daring 168 769 so 169 769 strangely 170 769 respectful 171 769 and 172 769 cautious 173 769 that 174 769 it 175 769 almost 176 769 seemed 177 769 not 178 769 only 179 769 every 180 769 way 181 769 seeking 182 769 to 183 769 avoid 184 769 the 185 769 slightest 186 769 outward 187 769 manifestation 188 769 of 189 769 itself, 190 769 but 191 769 within 192 769 also 193 769 seemed 194 769 more 195 769 than 196 769 half 197 769 distrustful 198 769 of 199 769 itself; 200 769 "A 201 769 better 202 769 man 203 769 than 204 769 I 205 769 might 206 769 well 207 769 pass 208 769 over 209 769 in 210 769 thee 211 769 what 212 769 he 213 769 would 214 769 quickly 215 769 enough 216 769 resent 217 769 in 218 769 a 219 769 younger 220 769 man; 221 769 aye, 222 769 and 223 769 in 224 769 a 225 769 happier, 226 769 Captain 227 769 Ahab." 228 769 "Devils! 229 769 Dost 230 769 thou 231 769 then 232 769 so 233 769 much 234 769 as 235 769 dare 236 769 to 237 769 critically 238 769 think 239 769 of 240 769 me?--On 241 769 deck!" 242 769 "Nay, 243 769 sir, 244 769 not 245 769 yet; 246 769 I 247 769 do 248 769 entreat. 249 769 And 250 769 I 251 769 do 252 769 dare, 253 769 sir--to 254 769 be 255 769 forbearing! 256 769 Shall 257 769 we 258 769 not 259 769 understand 260 769 each 261 769 other 262 769 better 263 769 than 264 769 hitherto, 265 769 Captain 266 769 Ahab?" 267 769 Ahab 268 769 seized 269 769 a 270 769 loaded 271 769 musket 272 769 from 273 769 the 274 769 rack 275 769 (forming 276 769 part 277 769 of 278 769 most 279 769 South-Sea-men's 280 769 cabin 281 769 furniture), 282 769 and 283 769 pointing 284 769 it 285 769 towards 286 769 Starbuck, 287 769 exclaimed: 288 769 "There 289 769 is 290 769 one 291 769 God 292 769 that 293 769 is 294 769 Lord 295 769 over 296 769 the 297 769 earth, 298 769 and 299 769 one 300 769 Captain 301 769 that 302 769 is 303 769 lord 304 769 over 305 769 the 306 769 Pequod.--On 307 769 deck!" 308 769 For 309 769 an 310 769 instant 311 769 in 312 769 the 313 769 flashing 314 769 eyes 315 769 of 316 769 the 317 769 mate, 318 769 and 319 769 his 320 769 fiery 321 769 cheeks, 322 769 you 323 769 would 324 769 have 325 769 almost 326 769 thought 327 769 that 328 769 he 329 769 had 330 769 really 331 769 received 332 769 the 333 769 blaze 334 769 of 335 769 the 336 769 levelled 337 769 tube. 338 769 But, 339 769 mastering 340 769 his 341 769 emotion, 342 769 he 343 769 half 344 769 calmly 345 769 rose, 346 769 and 347 769 as 348 769 he 349 769 quitted 350 769 the 351 769 cabin, 352 769 paused 353 769 for 354 769 an 355 769 instant 356 769 and 357 769 said: 358 769 "Thou 359 769 hast 360 769 outraged, 361 769 not 362 769 insulted 363 769 me, 364 769 sir; 365 769 but 366 769 for 367 769 that 368 769 I 369 769 ask 370 769 thee 371 769 not 372 769 to 373 769 beware 374 769 of 375 769 Starbuck; 376 769 thou 377 769 wouldst 378 769 but 379 769 laugh; 380 769 but 381 769 let 382 769 Ahab 383 769 beware 384 769 of 385 769 Ahab; 386 769 beware 387 769 of 388 769 thyself, 389 769 old 390 769 man." 391 769 "He 392 769 waxes 393 769 brave, 394 769 but 395 769 nevertheless 396 769 obeys; 397 769 most 398 769 careful 399 769 bravery 400 769 that!" 401 769 murmured 402 769 Ahab, 403 769 as 404 769 Starbuck 405 769 disappeared. 406 769 "What's 407 769 that 408 769 he 409 769 said--Ahab 410 769 beware 411 769 of 412 769 Ahab--there's 413 769 something 414 769 there!" 415 769 Then 416 769 unconsciously 417 769 using 418 769 the 419 769 musket 420 769 for 421 769 a 422 769 staff, 423 769 with 424 769 an 425 769 iron 426 769 brow 427 769 he 428 769 paced 429 769 to 430 769 and 431 769 fro 432 769 in 433 769 the 434 769 little 435 769 cabin; 436 769 but 437 769 presently 438 769 the 439 769 thick 440 769 plaits 441 769 of 442 769 his 443 769 forehead 444 769 relaxed, 445 769 and 446 769 returning 447 769 the 448 769 gun 449 769 to 450 769 the 451 769 rack, 452 769 he 453 769 went 454 769 to 455 769 the 456 769 deck. 457 769 "Thou 458 769 art 459 769 but 460 769 too 461 769 good 462 769 a 463 769 fellow, 464 769 Starbuck," 465 769 he 466 769 said 467 769 lowly 468 769 to 469 769 the 470 769 mate; 471 769 then 472 769 raising 473 769 his 474 769 voice 475 769 to 476 769 the 477 769 crew: 478 769 "Furl 479 769 the 480 769 t'gallant-sails, 481 769 and 482 769 close-reef 483 769 the 484 769 top-sails, 485 769 fore 486 769 and 487 769 aft; 488 769 back 489 769 the 490 769 main-yard; 491 769 up 492 769 Burton, 493 769 and 494 769 break 495 769 out 496 769 in 497 769 the 498 769 main-hold." 499 769 It 500 769 were 501 769 perhaps 502 769 vain 503 769 to 504 769 surmise 505 769 exactly 506 769 why 507 769 it 508 769 was, 509 769 that 510 769 as 511 769 respecting 512 769 Starbuck, 513 769 Ahab 514 769 thus 515 769 acted. 516 769 It 517 769 may 518 769 have 519 769 been 520 769 a 521 769 flash 522 769 of 523 769 honesty 524 769 in 525 769 him; 526 769 or 527 769 mere 528 769 prudential 529 769 policy 530 769 which, 531 769 under 532 769 the 533 769 circumstance, 534 769 imperiously 535 769 forbade 536 769 the 537 769 slightest 538 769 symptom 539 769 of 540 769 open 541 769 disaffection, 542 769 however 543 769 transient, 544 769 in 545 769 the 546 769 important 547 769 chief 548 769 officer 549 769 of 550 769 his 551 769 ship. 552 769 However 553 769 it 554 769 was, 555 769 his 556 769 orders 557 769 were 558 769 executed; 559 769 and 560 769 the 561 769 Burtons 562 769 were 563 769 hoisted. 564 769 CHAPTER 565 769 110 566 769 Queequeg 567 769 in 568 769 His 569 769 Coffin. 570 769 Upon 571 769 searching, 572 769 it 573 769 was 574 769 found 575 769 that 576 769 the 577 769 casks 578 769 last 579 769 struck 580 769 into 581 769 the 582 769 hold 583 769 were 584 769 perfectly 585 769 sound, 586 769 and 587 769 that 588 769 the 589 769 leak 590 769 must 591 769 be 592 769 further 593 769 off. 594 769 So, 595 769 it 596 769 being 597 769 calm 598 769 weather, 599 769 they 600 769 broke 601 769 out 602 769 deeper 603 769 and 604 769 deeper, 605 769 disturbing 606 769 the 607 769 slumbers 608 769 of 609 769 the 610 769 huge 611 769 ground-tier 612 769 butts; 613 769 and 614 769 from 615 769 that 616 769 black 617 769 midnight 618 769 sending 619 769 those 620 769 gigantic 621 769 moles 622 769 into 623 769 the 624 769 daylight 625 769 above. 626 769 So 627 769 deep 628 769 did 629 769 they 630 769 go; 631 769 and 632 769 so 633 769 ancient, 634 769 and 635 769 corroded, 636 769 and 637 769 weedy 638 769 the 639 769 aspect 640 769 of 641 769 the 642 769 lowermost 643 769 puncheons, 644 769 that 645 769 you 646 769 almost 647 769 looked 648 769 next 649 769 for 650 769 some 651 769 mouldy 652 769 corner-stone 653 769 cask 654 769 containing 655 769 coins 656 769 of 657 769 Captain 658 769 Noah, 659 769 with 660 769 copies 661 769 of 662 769 the 663 769 posted 664 769 placards, 665 769 vainly 666 769 warning 667 769 the 668 769 infatuated 669 769 old 670 769 world 671 769 from 672 769 the 673 769 flood. 674 769 Tierce 675 769 after 676 769 tierce, 677 769 too, 678 769 of 679 769 water, 680 769 and 681 769 bread, 682 769 and 683 769 beef, 684 769 and 685 769 shooks 686 769 of 687 769 staves, 688 769 and 689 769 iron 690 769 bundles 691 769 of 692 769 hoops, 693 769 were 694 769 hoisted 695 769 out, 696 769 till 697 769 at 698 769 last 699 769 the 700 769 piled 701 769 decks 702 769 were 703 769 hard 704 769 to 705 769 get 706 769 about; 707 769 and 708 769 the 709 769 hollow 710 769 hull 711 769 echoed 712 769 under 713 769 foot, 714 769 as 715 769 if 716 769 you 717 769 were 718 769 treading 719 769 over 720 769 empty 721 769 catacombs, 722 769 and 723 769 reeled 724 769 and 725 769 rolled 726 769 in 727 769 the 728 769 sea 729 769 like 730 769 an 731 769 air-freighted 732 769 demijohn. 733 769 Top-heavy 734 769 was 735 769 the 736 769 ship 737 769 as 738 769 a 739 769 dinnerless

755 769 visit 756 769 them 757 769 then. 758 769 Now, 759 769 at 760 769 this 761 769 time 762 769 it 763 769 was 764 769 that 765 769 my 766 769 poor 767 769 pagan 768 769 companion, 1 770 and 3 770

57 770 Be 59 770 it 61 770 said, 67 770 that 69 770 in 71 770 this 73 770 vocation 79 770 of 81 770 whaling, 83 770 sinecures 87 770 are 89 770 unknown; 93 770 dignity 97 770 and 101 770 danger 103

201 770 rage 207 770 of 211 770 the 213 770 living 219 770 whale, 221 770 but--as 223 770 we 227 770 have 229 770 elsewhere 233 770 seen--mount 237 770 his 239 770 dead 241 770 back 243 770 in 247 770 a 249 770 rolling 251 770 sea; 257 770 and 261 770 finally 263 770 descend 267 770 into 269 770 the 271 770 gloom 277 770 of 279 770 the 281 770 hold, 283 770 and 289 770 bitterly 291 770 sweating 293

called. 387 770 Poor 389 770 Queequeg! 391 770 when 393 770 the 397 770 ship 401 770 was 403 770 about 409 770 half 411 770 disembowelled, 417 770 you 419 770 should 421 770 have 423 770 stooped 431 770 over 433 770 the 437 770 hatchway, 439 770 and 443 770 peered 447 770 down 449 770 upon 453 770 him 457 770 there; 459 770 where, 461 770 stripped 463 770 to 467 770 his 471 770 woollen 477 770 drawers, 479 770 the 481 770 tattooed 487 770 savage 489 770 was 491 770 crawling 493 770 about 499 770 amid 501 770 that 503 770 dampness 507 770 and 509 770 slime, 513 770 like 519 770 a 521 770 green 523 770 spotted 527 770 lizard 529 770 at 531 770 the 533 770 bottom 537 770 of 541 770 a 543 770 well. 547 770 And 549 770 a 551 770 well, 557 770 or 559 770 an 563 770 ice-house, 569 770 it 571 770 somehow 573 770 proved 577 770 to 579 770 him, 587 770 poor 589 770 pagan; 591 770 where, 593 770 strange 597 770 to 599 770 say, 601 770 for 603 770 all 607 770 the 611 770 heat 613 770 of 617 770 his 619 770 sweatings, 621 770 he 629 770 caught 631 770 a 633 770 terrible 639 770 chill 641 770 which 643 770 lapsed 647 770 into 653 770 a 657 770 fever; 659 770 and 661 770 at 663 770 last, 667 770 after 669 770 some 673 770 days' 677 770 suffering, 681 770 laid 683 770 him 687 770 in 689 770 his 691 770 hammock, 697 770 close 699 770 to 701 770 the 703 770 very 709 770 sill 711 770 of 713 770 the 717 770 door 719 770 of 723 770 death. 727 770 How 729 770 he 731 770 wasted 733 770 and 739 770 wasted 741 770 away 743 770 in 747 770 those 751 770 few 753 770 long-lingering 757 770 days, 761 770 till 767 770 there 769 770 seemed 1 771 but 2 771 little 4 771 left 5 771 of 7 771 him 8 771 but 10 771 his 11 771 frame 13 771 and 14 771 tattooing. 16 771 But 17 771 as 19 771 all 20 771 else 22 771 in 23 771 him 25 771 thinned, 26 771 and 28 771 his 29 771 cheek-bones 31 771 grew 32 771 sharper, 34 771 his 35 771 eyes, 37 771 nevertheless, 38 771 seemed 40 771 growing 41 771 fuller 43 771 and 44 771 fuller; 46 771 they 47 771 became 49 771 of 50 771 a 52 771 strange 53 771 softness 55 771 of 56 771 lustre; 58 771 and 59 771 mildly 61 771 but 62 771 deeply 64 771 looked 65 771 out 67 771 at 68 771 you 70 771 there 71 771 from 73 771 his 74 771 sickness, 76 771 a 77 771 wondrous 79 771 testimony 80 771 to 82 771 that 83 771 immortal 85 771 health 86 771 in 88 771 him 89 771 which 91 771 could 92 771 not 94 771 die, 95 771 or 97 771 be 98 771 weakened. 100 771 And 101 771 like 103 771 circles 104 771 on 106 771 the 107 771 water, 109 771 which, 110 771 as 112 771 they 113 771 grow 115 771 fainter, 116 771 expand; 118 771 so 119 771 his 121 771 eyes 122 771 seemed 124 771 rounding 125 771 and 127 771 rounding, 128 771 like 130 771 the 131 771 rings 133 771 of 134 771 Eternity. 136 771 An 137 771 awe 139 771 that 140 771 cannot 142 771 be 143 771 named 145 771 would 146 771 steal 148 771 over 149 771 you 151 771 as 152 771 you 154 771 sat 155 771 by 157 771 the 158 771 side 160 771 of 161 771 this 163 771 waning 164 771 savage, 166 771 and 167 771 saw 169 771 as 170 771 strange 172 771 things 173 771 in 175 771 his 176 771 face, 178 771 as 179 771 any 181 771 beheld 182 771 who 184 771 were 185 771 bystanders 187 771 when 188 771 Zoroaster 190 771 died. 191 771 For 193 771 whatever 194 771 is 196 771 truly 197 771 wondrous 199 771 and 200 771 fearful 202 771 in 203 771 man, 205 771 never 206 771 yet 208 771 was 209 771 put 211 771 into 212 771 words 214 771 or 215 771 books. 217 771 And 218 771 the 220 771 drawing 221 771 near 223 771 of 224 771 Death, 226 771 which 227 771 alike 229 771 levels 230 771 all, 232 771 alike 233 771 impresses 235 771 all 236 771 with 238 771 a 239 771 last 241 771 revelation, 242 771 which 244 771 only 245 771 an 247 771 author 248 771 from 250 771 the 251 771 dead 253 771 could 254 771 adequately 256 771 tell. 259 771 So 260 771 that--let 262 771 us 263 771 say 265 771 it 266 771 again--no 268 771 dying 269 771 Chaldee 271 771 or 272 771 Greek 274 771 had 275 771 higher 277 771 and 278 771 holier 280 771 thoughts 281 771 than 283 771 those, 284 771 whose 286 771 mysterious 287 771 shades 289 771 you 290 771 saw 292 771 creeping 293 771 over 295 771 the 296 771 face 298 771 of 299 771 poor 301 771 Queequeg, 302 771 as 304 771 he 305 771 quietly 307 771 lay 308 771 in 310 771 his 311 771 swaying 313 771 hammock, 314 771 and 316 771 the 317 771 rolling 319 771 sea 320 771 seemed 322 771 gently 323 771 rocking 325 771 him 326 771 to 328 771 his 329 771 final 331 771 rest, 332 771 and 334 771 the 335 771 ocean's 337 771 invisible 338 771 flood-tide 340 771 lifted 341 771 him 343 771 higher 344 771 and 346 771 higher 347 771 towards 349 771 his 350 771 destined 352 771 heaven. 353 771 Not 355 771 a 356 771 man 358 771 of 359 771 the 361 771 crew 362 771 but 364 771 gave 365 771 him 367 771 up; 368 771 and, 370 771 as 371 771 for 373 771 Queequeg 374 771 himself, 376 771 what 377 771 he 379 771 thought 380 771 of 382 771 his 383 771 case 385 771 was 386 771 forcibly 388 771 shown 389 771 by 391 771 a 392 771 curious 394 771 favour 395 771 he 397 771 asked. 398 771 He 400 771 called 401 771 one 403 771 to 404 771 him 406 771 in 407 771 the 409 771 grey 410 771 morning 412 771 watch, 413 771 when 415 771 the 416 771 day 418 771 was 419 771 just 421 771 breaking, 422 771 and 424 771 taking 425 771 his 427 771 hand, 428 771 said 430 771 that 431 771 while 433 771 in 434 771 Nantucket 436 771 he 437 771 had 439 771 chanced 440 771 to 442 771 see 443 771 certain 445 771 little 446 771 canoes 448 771 of 449 771 dark 451 771 wood, 452 771 like 454 771 the 455 771 rich 457 771 war-wood 458 771 of 460 771 his 461 771 native 463 771 isle; 464 771 and 466 771 upon 467 771 inquiry, 469 771 he 470 771 had 472 771 learned 473 771 that 475 771 all 476 771 whalemen 478 771 who 479 771 died 481 771 in 482 771 Nantucket, 484 771 were 485 771 laid 487 771 in 488 771 those 490 771 same 491 771 dark 493 771 canoes, 494 771 and 496 771 that 497 771 the 499 771 fancy 500 771 of 502 771 being 503 771 so 505 771 laid 506 771 had 508 771 much 509 771 pleased 511 771 him; 512 771 for 515 771 it 517 771 was 518 771 not 520 771 unlike 521 771 the 523 771 custom 524 771 of 526 771 his 527 771 own 529 771 race, 530 771 who, 532 771 after 533 771 embalming 535 771 a 536 771 dead 538 771 warrior, 539 771 stretched 541 771 him 542 771 out 544 771 in 545 771 his 547 771 canoe, 548 771 and 550 771 so 551 771 left 553 771 him 554 771 to 556 771 be 557 771 floated 559 771 away 560 771 to 562 771 the 563 771 starry 565 771 archipelagoes; 566 771 for 568 771 not 569 771 only 571 771 do 572 771 they 574 771 believe 575 771 that 577 771 the 578 771 stars 580 771 are 581 771 isles, 583 771 but 584 771 that 586 771 far 587 771 beyond 589 771 all 590 771 visible 592 771 horizons, 593 771 their 595 771 own 596 771 mild, 598 771 uncontinented 599 771 seas, 601 771 interflow 602 771 with 604 771 the 605 771 blue 607 771 heavens; 608 771 and 610 771 so 611 771 form 613 771 the 614 771 white 616 771 breakers 617 771 of 619 771 the 620 771 milky 622 771 way. 623 771 He 625 771 added, 626 771 that 628 771 he 629 771 shuddered 631 771 at 632 771 the 634 771 thought 635 771 of 637 771 being 638 771 buried 640 771 in 641 771 his 643 771 hammock, 644 771 according 646 771 to 647 771 the 649 771 usual 650 771 sea-custom, 652 771 tossed 653 771 like 655 771 something 656 771 vile 658 771 to 659 771 the 661 771 death-devouring 662 771 sharks. 664 771 No: 665 771 he 667 771 desired 668 771 a 670 771 canoe 671 771 like 673 771 those 674 771 of 676 771 Nantucket, 677 771 all 679 771 the 680 771 more 682 771 congenial 683 771 to 685 771 him, 686 771 being 688 771 a 689 771 whaleman, 691 771 that 692 771 like 694 771 a 695 771 whale-boat 697 771 these 698 771 coffin-canoes 700 771 were 701 771 without 703 771 a 704 771 keel; 706 771 though 707 771 that 709 771 involved 710 771 but 712 771 uncertain 713 771 steering, 715 771 and 716 771 much 718 771 lee-way 719 771 adown 721 771 the 722 771 dim 724 771 ages. 725 771 Now, 727 771 when 728 771 this 730 771 strange 731 771 circumstance 733 771 was 734 771 made 736 771 known 737 771 aft, 739 771 the 740 771 carpenter 742 771 was 743 771 at 745 771 once 746 771 commanded 748 771 to 749 771 do 751 771 Queequeg's 752 771 bidding, 754 771 whatever 755 771 it 757 771 might 758 771 include. 760 771 There 761 771 was 763 771 some 764 771 heathenish, 766 771 coffin-coloured 767 771 old 769 771 lumber 770 771 aboard, 1 772 which, 3 772 upon 5 772 a 7 772 long 9 772 previous 11 772 voyage, 13 772 had 15 772 been 17 772 cut 19 772 from 21 772 the 23 772 aboriginal 25 772 groves 27 772 of 29 772 the 31 772 Lackaday 33 772 islands, 35 772 and 37 772 from 39 772 these 41 772 dark 43 772 planks 45 772 the 47 772 coffin 49 772 was 51 772 recommended 53 772 to 55 772 be 57 772 made. 59 772 No 61 772 sooner 63 772 was 65 772 the 67 772 carpenter 69 772 apprised 71 772 of 73 772 the 75 772 order, 77 772 than 79 772 taking 81 772 his 83 772 rule, 85 772 he 87 772 forthwith 89 772 with 91 772 all 93 772 the 95 772 indifferent 97 772 promptitude 99 772 of 101 772 his 103 772 character, 105 772 proceeded 107 772 into 109 772 the 111 772 forecastle 113 772 and 115 772 took 117 772 Queequeg's 119 772 measure 121 772 with 123 772 great 125 772 accuracy, 127 772 regularly 129 772 chalking 131 772 Queequeg's 133 772 person 135 772 as 137 772 he 139 772 shifted 141 772 the 143 772 rule. 145 772 "Ah! 147 772 poor 149 772 fellow! 151 772 he'll 153 772 have 155 772 to 157 772 die 159 772 now," 161 772 ejaculated 163 772 the 165 772 Long 167 772 Island 169 772 sailor. 171 772 Going 173 772 to 175 772 his 177 772 vice-bench, 179 772 the 181 772 carpenter 183 772 for 185 772 convenience 187 772 sake 189 772 and 191 772 general 195 772 reference, 197 772 now 199 772 transferringly 201 772 measured 203 772 on 205 772 it 207 772

wincing 181 779 for 182 779 a 183 779 moment 184 779 with 185 779 the 186 779 pain; 187 779 "have 188 779 I 189 779 been 191 779 but 192 779 forging 193 779 my 194 779 own 195 779 branding-iron, 196

of 390 779 dark 391 779 nods 392 779 replied, 393 779 Yes. 394 779 Three 395 779 punctures 396 779 were 397 779 made 398 779 in 400 779 the 401 779 heathen 402 779 flesh, 403 779 and 404 779 the 405 779 White 406 779 Whale's 407 779 barbs 408 779 were 409 779 then 411 779 tempered. 412 779 "Ego 413 779 non 414 779 baptizo 415 779 te 416 779 in 417 779 nomine 419 779 patris, 420 779 sed 421 779 in 422 779 nomine 423 779 diaboli!" 424 779 deliriously 425 779 howled 426 779 Ahab, 427 779 as 428 779 the 429 779 malignant 430 779 iron 431 779 scorchingly 432 779 devoured 433 779 the 434 779 baptismal 435 779 blood. 436 779 Now, 438 779 mustering 439 779 the 440 779 spare 441 779 poles 442 779 from 443 779 below, 444 779 and 445 779 selecting 446 779 one 447 779 of 448 779 hickory, 449

the 500 779 rope 501 779 hummed 502 779 like 503 779 a 504 779 harp-string, 505 779 then 506 779 eagerly 507 779 bending 508 779 over 509 779 it, 510 779 and 511 779 seeing 512 779 no 514 779 strandings, 515 779 Ahab 516 779 exclaimed, 517 779 "Good! 518 779 and 519 779 now 520 779 for 521 779 the 522 779 seizings." 523 779 At 524 779 one 525 779 extremity 526 779 the 527 779 rope 528 779 was 529 779 unstranded, 530 779 and 531 779 the 534 779 separate 535 779 spread 536 779 yarns 537 779 were 538 779 all 539 779 braided 540 779 and 541 779 woven 542 779 round 543 779 the 544 779 socket 545 779 of 546 779 the 547 779 harpoon; 548 779 the 549 779 pole 550 779 was 552 779 then 553 779 driven 554 779 hard 555 779 up 556 779 into 557 779 the 558 779 socket; 559 779 from 560 779 the 561 779 lower 562 779 end 563 779 the 564 779 rope 565 779 was 566 779 traced 567 779 half-way 568 779 along 569 779 the 571 779 pole's 572 779 length, 573 779 and 575 779 firmly 576 779 secured 577 779 so, 578 779 with 579 779 intertwistings 580 779 of 581 779 twine. 582 779 This 583 779 done, 584 779 pole, 585 779 iron, 586 779 and 587 779 rope--like 588 779 the 590 779 Three 591 779 Fates--remained 592 779 inseparable, 593 779 and 594 779 Ahab 595 779 moodily 596 779 stalked 597 779 away 598 779 with 599 779 the 600 779 weapon; 601 779 the 602 779 sound 603 779 of 604 779 his 605 779 ivory 606 779 leg, 607 779 and 609 779 the 610 779 sound 611 779 of 612 779 the 613 779 hickory 614 779 pole, 616 779 both 617 779 hollowly 618 779 ringing 619 779 along 620 779 every 621 779 plank. 622 779 But 623 779 ere 624 779 he 625 779 entered 626 779 his 628 779 cabin, 629 779 light, 630 779 unnatural, 631 779 half-bantering, 632 779 yet 633 779 most 634 779 piteous 635 779 sound 636 779 was 637 779 heard. 638 779 Oh, 639 779 Pip! 640 779 thy 641 779 wretched 642 779 laugh, 643 779 thy 644 779 idle 645 779 but 647 779 unresting 648 779 eye; 649 779 all 650 779 thy 651 779 strange 652 779 mummeries 653 779 not 654 779 unmeaningly 655 779 blended 657 779 with 658 779 the 659 779 black 660 779 tragedy 661 779 of 662 779 the 663 779 melancholy 664 779 ship, 666 779 and 667

clover; 93 781 and 94 781 for 95 781 some 96 781 few 97 781 fleeting 98 781 moments, 100 781 feel 101 781 the 102 781 cool 103 781 dew 104 781 of 105 781 the 106 781 life 107 781 immortal 108 781 on

every 144 781 calm. 145 781 There 146 781 is 147 781 no 148 781 steady 149 781 unretracing 150 781 progress 151 781 in 152 781 this 153 781 life; 155 781 we 156 781 do 157 781 not 158 781 advance 159 781 through 160 781 fixed 161 781 gradations, 162 781 and 163 781 at 164 781 the 166 781 last 167 781 one 168 781 pause:--through 169 781 infancy's 170 781 unconscious 171 781 spell, 172 781 boyhood's 173 781 thoughtless 174 781 faith, 175 781 adolescence' 177 781 doubt 178 781 (the 179 781 common 180 781 doom), 181 781 then 182 781 scepticism, 183 781 then 184 781 disbelief, 185 781 resting 186 781 at 188 781 last 189 781 in 190 781 manhood's 191 781 pondering 192 781 repose 193 781 of 194 781 If. 195 781 But 196 781 once 197 781 gone 199 781 through, 200 781 we 201 781 trace 202 781 the 203 781 round 204 781 again; 205 781 and 206 781 are 207 781 infants, 208 781 boys, 210 781 and 211 781 men, 212 781 and 214 781 Ifs 215 781 eternally. 216 781 Where 217 781 lies 218 781 the 219 781 final 221 781 harbor, 222 781 whence 223 781 we 224 781 unmoor 225 781 no 226 781 more? 227 781 In 228 781 what 229 781 rapt 230 781 ether 232 781 sails 233 781 the 234 781 world, 235 781 of 236 781 which 237 781 the 238 781 weariest 239 781 will 240 781 never 241 781 weary? 243 781 Where 244 781 is 245 781 the 246 781 foundling's 247 781 father 248 781 hidden? 249 781 Our 250 781 souls 251 781 are 252 781 like 254 781 those 255 781 orphans 256 781 whose 257 781 unwedded 258 781 mothers 259 781 die 260 781 in 261 781 bearing 262 781 them: 263 781 the 265 781 secret 266 781 of 267 781 our 268 781 paternity 269 781 lies 270 781 in 271 781 their 272 781 grave, 273 781 and 274 781 we 276 781 must 277 781 there 278 781 to 279 781 learn 280 781 it. 281 781 And 282 781 that 283 781 same 285 781 day, 287 781 too, 288 781 gazing 289 781 far 290 781 down 291 781 from 292 781 his 293 781 boat's 294 781 side 295 781 into 296 781 that 298 781 same 299 781 golden 300 781 sea, 301 781 Starbuck 302 781 lowly 303 781 murmured:-- 304 781 "Loveliness 305 781 unfathomable, 306 781 as 307 781 ever 309 781 lover 310 781 saw 311 781 in 312 781 his 313 781 young 314 781 bride's 315 781 eye!--Tell 316 781 me 317 781 not 318 781 of 320 781 thy 321 781 teeth-tiered 322 781 sharks, 323 781 and 324 781 thy 325 781 kidnapping 326 781 cannibal 327 781 ways. 328 781 Let 329 781 faith 331 781 oust 332 781 fact; 333 781 let 334 781 fancy 335 781 oust 336 781 memory; 337 781 I 338 781 look 339 781 deep 340 781 down 342 781 and 343 781 do 344 781 believe." 345 781 And 346 781 Stubb, 347 781 fish-like, 348 781 with 349 781 sparkling 350 781 scales, 351 781 leaped 353 781 up 354 781 in 356 781 that 357 781 same 358 781 golden 359 781 light:-- 360 781 "I 361 781 am 362 781 Stubb, 364 781 and 365 781 Stubb 366 781 has 367 781 his 368 781 history; 369 781 but 370 781 here 371 781 Stubb 372 781 takes 373 781 oaths 375 781 that 376 781 he 377 781 has 378 781 always 379 781 been 380 781 jolly!" 381 781 CHAPTER 382 781 115 383 781 The 384 781 Pequod 386 781 Meets 387 781 The 388 781 Bachelor. 389 781 And 390 781 jolly 391 781 enough 392 781 were 393 781 the 394 781 sights 395 781 and 397 781 the 398 781 sounds 399 781 that 400 781 came 401 781 bearing 402 781 down 403 781 before 404 781 the 405 781 wind, 406 781 some 408 781 few 409 781 weeks 410 781 after 411 781 Ahab's 412 781 harpoon 413 781 had 414 781 been 415 781 welded. 416 781 It 417 781 was 419 781 a 420 781 Nantucket 421 781 ship, 422 781 the 423 781 Bachelor, 424 781 which 425 781 had 427 781 just 428 781 wedged 430 781 in 431 781 her 432 781 last 433 781 cask 434 781 of 435 781 oil, 436 781 and 437 781 bolted 438 781 down 439 781 her 441 781 bursting 442 781 hatches; 443 781 and 444 781 now, 445 781 in 446 781 glad 447 781 holiday 448 781 apparel, 449 781 was 450 781 joyously, 452 781 though 453 781 somewhat 454 781 vain-gloriously, 455 781 sailing 456 781 round 457 781 among 458 781 the 459 781 widely-separated 460 781 ships 461 781 on 463 781 the 464 781 ground, 465 781 previous 466 781 to 467 781 pointing 468 781 her 469 781 prow 470 781 for 471 781 home. 472 781 The 474 781 three 475 781 men 476 781 at 477 781 her 478 781 mast-head 479 781 wore 480 781 long 481 781 streamers 482 781 of 483 781 narrow 485 781 red 486 781 bunting 487 781 at 488 781 their 489 781 hats; 490 781 from 491 781 the 492 781 stern, 493 781 a 494 781 whale-boat 496 781 was 498 781 suspended, 499 781 bottom 500 781 down; 501 781 and 502 781 hanging 503 781 captive 504 781 from 505 781 the 507 781 bowsprit 508 781 was 509 781 seen 510 781

781 same 609 781 seas 610 781 numerous 611 781 other 612 781 vessels 613 781 had 614 781 gone 615 781 entire 617 781 months 618 781 without 619 781 securing 620 781 a 621 781 single 622 781 fish. 623 781 Not 624 781 only 625 781 had 626 781 barrels 628 781 of 629 781 beef 630 781 and 631 781 bread 632 781 been 633 781 given 634 781 away 635 781 to 636 781 make 637 781 room 640 781 for 641 781 the

the 657 781 ships 658 781 she 659 781 had 661 781 met; 662 781 and 663 781 these 664 781 were 665 781 stowed 666 781 along 667 781 the 668 781 deck, 669 781 and 670 781 in 672 781 the 673 781

Bachelor's 639 782 commander, 641 782 lifting 643 782 a 645 782 glass 647 782 and 649 782 a 651 782 bottle 653 782 in 655 782 the 657 782 air. 659 782 "Hast 661 782 seen 665 782 the 669 782 White 671 782 Whale?" 673 782 gritted 675 782 Ahab 677 782 in 679 782 reply. 681 782 "No; 683 782 only 685 782 heard 687 782 of 689 782 him; 691 782 but 693 782 don't 695 782 believe 699 782 in 701 782 him 703 782 at 705 782 all," 707 782 said 709 782 the 711 782 other 715 782 good-humoredly. 717 782 "Come 719 782 aboard!" 721 782 "Thou 723 782 art 725 782 too 727 782 damned 729 782 jolly. 733 782 Sail 735 782 on. 737 782 Hast 739 782 lost 741 782 any 743 782 men?" 745 782 "Not 747 782 enough 749 782 to 751 782 speak 753 782 of--two 755 782 islanders, 757 782 that's 761 782 all;--but 763 782 come 767 782 aboard, 769 782 old 771 782 hearty, 773 782 come 775 782 along. 777 782 I'll 779 782 soon 781 782 take 1 783 that 2 783 black 4 783 from 5 783 your 7 783 brow. 8 783 Come 10 783 along, 11 783 will 13 783 ye 14 783 (merry's 16 783 the 17 783 play); 19 783 a 20 783 full 22 783 ship 23 783 and 25 783 homeward-bound." 26 783 "How 28 783 wondrous 31 783 familiar 32 783 is 34 783 a 35 783 fool!" 37 783 muttered 38 783 Ahab; 40 783 then 41 783 aloud, 43 783 "Thou 44 783 art 46 783 a 47 783 full 49 783 ship 50 783 and 52 783 homeward 53 783 bound, 55 783 thou 56 783 sayst; 59 783 well, 61 783 then, 62 783 call 64 783 me 65 783 an 67 783 empty 68 783 ship, 70 783 and 71 783 outward-bound. 73 783 So 74 783 go 76 783 thy 77 783 ways, 79 783 and 80 783 I 82 783 will 83 783 mine. 85 783 Forward 86 783 there! 88 783 Set 89 783 all 91 783 sail, 92 783 and 94 783 keep 95 783 her 97 783 to 98 783 the 100 783 wind!" 101 783 And 103 783 thus, 104 783 while 106 783 the 107 783 one 109 783 ship 110 783 went 112 783 cheerily 113 783 before 115 783 the 118 783 breeze, 119 783 the 121 783 other 122 783 stubbornly 124 783 fought 125 783 against 127 783 it; 128 783 and 130 783 so 131 783 the 133 783 two 134 783 vessels 136 783 parted; 137 783 the 139 783 crew 140 783 of 142 783 the 143 783 Pequod 146 783 looking 148 783 with 149 783 grave, 151 783 lingering 152 783 glances 154 783 towards 155 783 the 157 783 receding 158 783 Bachelor; 160 783 but 161 783 the 163 783 Bachelor's 164 783 men 166 783 never 167 783 heeding 169 783 their 170 783 gaze 172 783 for 173 783 the 175 783 lively 176 783 revelry 178 783 they 179 783 were 181 783 in. 182 783 And 184 783 as 185 783 Ahab, 187 783 leaning 188 783 over 190 783 the 191 783 taffrail, 193 783 eyed 194 783 the 196 783 homewardbound 197 783 craft, 199 783 he 200 783 took 202 783 from 205 783 his 206 783 pocket 208 783 a 209 783 small 211 783 vial 212 783 of 214 783 sand, 215 783 and 217 783 then 218 783 looking 220 783 from 221 783 the 223 783 ship 224 783 to 226 783 the 227 783 vial, 229 783 seemed 230 783 thereby 233 783 bringing 235 783 two 236 783 remote 238 783 associations 239 783 together, 241 783 for 242 783 that 244 783 vial 245 783 was 247 783 filled 248 783 with 250 783 Nantucket 251 783 soundings. 253 783 CHAPTER 254 783 116 256 783 The 257 783 Dying 259 783 Whale. 260 783 Not 262 783 seldom 263 783 in 265 783 this 266 783 life, 268 783 when, 269 783 on 271 783 the 272 783 right 274 783 side, 275 783 fortune's 277 783 favourites 278 783 sail 280 783 close 281 783 by 283 783 us, 284 783 we, 286 783 though 287 783 all 289 783 adroop 292 783 before, 293 783 catch 295 783 somewhat 296 783 of 298 783 the 299 783 rushing 301 783 breeze, 302 783 and 304 783 joyfully 305 783 feel 307 783 our 308 783 bagging 310 783 sails 311 783 fill 313 783 out. 314 783 So 316 783 seemed 317 783 it 320 783 with 322 783 the 323 783 Pequod. 325 783 For 326 783 next 328 783 day 329 783 after 331 783 encountering 332 783 the 334 783 gay 335 783 Bachelor, 337 783 whales 338 783 were 340 783 seen 341 783 and 343 783 four 344 783 were 346 783 slain; 347 783 and 349 783 one 350 783 of 352 783 them 353 783 by 355 783 Ahab. 356 783 It 358 783 was 359 783 far 361 783 down 362 783 the 364 783 afternoon; 365 783 and 367 783 when 368 783 all 370 783 the 371 783 spearings 373 783 of 374 783 the 376 783 crimson 379 783 fight 380 783 were 382 783 done: 383 783 and 385 783 floating 386 783 in 388 783 the 389 783 lovely 391 783 sunset 392 783 sea 394 783 and 395 783 sky, 397 783 sun 398 783 and 400 783 whale 401 783 both 403 783 stilly 404 783 died 407 783 together; 409 783 then, 410 783 such 412 783 a 413 783 sweetness 415 783 and 416 783 such 418 783 plaintiveness, 419 783 such 421 783 inwreathing 422 783 orisons 424 783 curled 425 783 up 427 783 in 428 783 that 430 783 rosy 431 783 air, 433 783 that 434 783 it 436 783 almost 437 783 seemed 439 783 as 440 783 if 442 783 far 443 783 over 445 783 from 446 783 the 448 783 deep 449 783 green 451 783 convent 452 783 valleys 454 783 of 455 783 the 457 783 Manilla 458 783 isles, 460 783 the 461 783 Spanish 463 783 land-breeze, 466 783 wantonly 467 783 turned 469 783 sailor, 470 783 had 472 783 gone 473 783 to 475 783 sea, 476 783 freighted 478 783 with 479 783 these 481 783 vesper 482 783 hymns. 484 783 Soothed 485 783 again, 487 783 but 488 783 only 490 783 soothed 491 783 to 494 783 deeper 496 783 gloom, 497 783 Ahab, 499 783 who 500 783 had 502 783 sterned 503 783 off 505 783 from 506 783 the 508 783 whale, 509 783 sat 511 783 intently 512 783 watching 514 783 his 515 783 final 517 783 wanings 518 783 from 520 783 the 521 783 now 523 783 tranquil 524 783 boat. 526 783 For 527 783 that 529 783 strange 530 783 spectacle 532 783 observable 533 783 in 535 783 all 536 783 sperm 538 783 whales 539 783 dying--the 541 783 turning 542 783 sunwards 544 783 of 545 783 the 547 783 head, 548 783 and 550 783 so 553 783 expiring--that 554 783 strange 556 783 spectacle, 557 783 beheld 559 783 of 560 783 such 562 783 a 563 783 placid 565 783 evening, 566 783 somehow 568 783 to 569 783 Ahab 571 783 conveyed 572 783 a 574 783 wondrousness 575 783 unknown 577 783 before. 578 783 "He 581 783 turns 583 783 and 584 783 turns 586 783 him 587 783 to 589 783 it,--how 590 783 slowly, 592 783 but 593 783 how 595 783 steadfastly, 596 783 his 598 783 homage-rendering 599 783 and 601 783 invoking 602 783 brow, 604 783 with 605 783 his 607 783 last 608 783 dying 610 783 motions. 611 783 He 613 783 too 614 783 worships 616 783 fire; 617 783 most 619 783 faithful, 620 783 broad, 622 783 baronial 623 783 vassal 625 783 of 626 783 the 628 783 sun!--Oh 629 783 that 631 783 these 632 783 too-favouring 634 783 eyes 635 783 should 637 783 see 640 783 these 641 783 too-favouring 643 783 sights. 644 783 Look! 646 783 here, 647 783 far 649 783 water-locked; 650 783 beyond 652 783 all 653 783 hum 655 783 of 656 783 human 658 783 weal 659 783 or 661 783 woe; 662 783 in 664 783 these 665 783 most 668 783 candid 670 783 and 671 783 impartial 673 783 seas; 674 783 where 676 783 to 677 783 traditions 679 783 no 680 783 rocks 682 783 furnish 683 783 tablets; 685 783 where 686 783 for 688 783 long 689 783 Chinese 691 783 ages, 692 783 the 694 783 billows 695 783 have 697 783 still 698 783 rolled 700 783 on 701 783 speechless 703 783 and 704 783 unspoken 706 783 to, 707 783 as 709 783 stars 710 783 that 712 783 shine 713 783 upon 715 783 the 716 783 Niger's 718 783 unknown 719 783 source; 721 783 here, 722 783 too, 724 783 life 727 783 dies 728 783 sunwards 730 783 full 731 783 of 733 783 faith; 734 783 but 736 783 see! 737 783 no 739 783 sooner 740 783 dead, 742 783 than 743 783 death 745 783 whirls 746 783 round 748 783 the 749 783 corpse, 751 783 and 752 783 it 755 783 heads 757 783 some 758 783 other 760 783 way. 761 783 "Oh, 763 783 thou 764 783 dark 766 783 Hindoo 767 783 half 769 783 of 770 783 nature, 772 783 who 773 783 of 775 783 drowned 776 783 bones 778 783 hast 779 783 builded 781 783 thy 782 783 separate 1 784 throne 3 784 somewhere 5 784 in 9 784 the 11 784 heart 13 784 of 15 784 these 17 784 unverdured 19 784 seas; 23 784 thou 25 784 art 27 784 an 29 784 infidel, 31 784 thou 33 784 queen, 37 784 and 39 784 too 41 784 truly 43 784 speakest 45 784 to 47 784 me 51 784 in 53 784 the 55 784 wide-slaughtering 57 784 Typhoon, 59 784 and 61 784 the 65 784 hushed 67 784 burial 69 784 of 71 784 its 73 784 after 75 784 calm. 79 784 Nor 81 784 has 83 784 this 85 784 thy 87 784 whale 89 784 sunwards 93 784 turned 95 784 his 97 784 dying 99 784 head, 101 784 and 103 784 then 107 784 gone 109 784 round 111 784 again, 113 784 without 115 784 a 117 784 lesson 121 784 to 123 784 me. 125 784 "Oh, 127 784 trebly 129 784 hooped 131 784 and 135 784 welded 137 784 hip 139 784 of 141 784 power! 143 784 Oh, 145 784 high 149 784 aspiring, 151 784 rainbowed 153 784 jet!--that 155 784 one 157 784 strivest, 159 784 this 163 784 one 165 784 jettest 167 784 all 169 784 in 171 784 vain! 173 784 In 177 784 vain, 179 784 oh 181 784 whale, 183 784 dost 185 784 thou 187 784 seek 191 784 intercedings 193 784 with 195 784 yon 197 784 all-quickening 199 784 sun, 201 784 that 205 784 only 207 784 calls 209 784 forth 211 784 life, 213 784 but 215 784 gives 219 784 it 221 784 not 223 784 again. 225 784 Yet 227 784 dost 229 784 thou, 233 784 darker 235 784 half, 237 784 rock 239 784 me 241 784 with 243 784 a 247 784 prouder, 249 784 if 251 784 a 253 784 darker 255 784 faith. 257 784 All 261 784 thy 263 784 unnamable 265 784 imminglings 267 784 float 269 784 beneath 271 784 me 275 784 here; 277 784 I 279 784 am 281 784 buoyed 283 784 by 285 784 breaths 289 784 of 291 784 once 293 784 living 295 784 things, 297 784 exhaled 299 784 as 303 784 air, 305 784 but 307 784 water 309 784 now. 311 784 "Then 313 784 hail, 317 784 for 319 784 ever 321 784 hail, 323 784 O 325 784 sea, 327 784 in 331 784 whose 333 784 eternal 335 784 tossings 337 784 the 339 784 wild 341 784 fowl 345 784 finds 347 784 his 349 784 only 351 784 rest. 353 784 Born 355 784 of 359 784 earth, 361 784 yet 363 784 suckled 365 784 by 367 784 the 369 784 sea; 373 784 though 375 784 hill 377 784 and 379 784 valley 381 784 mothered 383 784 me, 387 784 ye 389 784 billows 391 784 are 393 784 my 395 784 foster-brothers!" 397 784 CHAPTER 401 784 117 403 784 The 405 784 Whale 407 784 Watch. 409 784 The 411 784 four 415 784 whales 417 784 slain 419 784 that 421 784 evening 423 784 had 425 784 died 429 784 wide 431 784 apart; 433 784 one, 435 784 far 437 784 to 439 784 windward; 443 784 one, 445 784 less 447 784 distant, 449 784 to 451 784 leeward; 453 784 one 457 784 ahead; 459 784 one 461 784 astern. 463 784 These 465 784 last 467 784 three 471 784 were 473 784 brought 475 784 alongside 477 784 ere 479 784 nightfall; 481 784 but 485 784 the 487 784 windward 489 784 one 491 784 could 493 784 not 495 784 be 499 784 reached 501 784 till 503 784 morning; 505 784 and 507 784 the 509 784 boat 513 784 that 515 784 had 517 784 killed 519 784 it 521 784 lay 523 784 by 527 784 its 529 784 side 531 784 all 533 784 night; 535 784 and 537 784 that 541 784 boat 543 784 was 545 784 Ahab's. 547 784 The 549 784 waif-pole 551 784 was 555 784 thrust 557 784 upright 559 784 into 561 784 the 563 784 dead 565 784 whale's 569 784 spout-hole; 571 784 and 573 784 the 575 784 lantern 577 784 hanging 579 784 from 583 784 its 585 784 top, 587 784 cast 589 784 a 591 784 troubled 593 784 flickering 597 784 glare 599 784 upon 601 784 the 603 784 black, 605 784 glossy 607 784 back, 611 784 and 613 784 far 615 784 out 617 784 upon 619 784 the 621 784 midnight 625 784 waves, 627 784 which 629 784 gently 631 784 chafed 633 784 the 635 784 whale's 639 784 broad 641 784 flank, 643 784 like 645 784 soft 647 784 surf 649 784 upon 653 784 a 655 784 beach. 657 784 Ahab 659 784 and 661 784 all 663 784 his 667 784 boat's 669 784 crew 671 784 seemed 673 784 asleep 675 784 but 677 784 the 681 784 Parsee; 683 784 who 685 784 crouching 687 784 in 689 784 the 691 784 bow, 695 784 sat 697 784 watching 699 784 the 701 784 sharks, 703 784 that 705 784 spectrally 709 784 played 711 784 round 713 784 the 715 784 whale, 717 784 and 719 784 tapped 723 784 the 725 784 light 727 784 cedar 729 784 planks 731 784 with 733 784 their 737 784 tails. 739 784 A 741 784 sound 743 784 like 745 784 the 747 784 moaning 751 784 in 753 784 squadrons 755 784 over 757 784 Asphaltites 759 784 of 761 784 unforgiven 765 784 ghosts 767 784 of 769 784 Gomorrah, 771 784 ran 773 784 shuddering 775 784 through 779 784 the 781 784 air. 783 784 Started 1 785 from 2 785 his 3 785 slumbers, 4 785 Ahab, 6 785 face 7 785 to 8 785 face, 9 785 saw 11 785 the 12 785 Parsee; 13 785 and 14 785 hooped 16 785 round 17 785 by 18 785 the 19 785 gloom 21 785 of 22 785 the 23 785 night 24 785 they 26 785 seemed 27 785 the 28 785 last 29 785 men 31 785 in 32 785 a 33 785 flooded 34 785 world. 36 785 "I 37 785 have 38 785 dreamed 39 785 it 41 785 again," 42 785 said 43 785 he. 44 785 "Of 46 785 the 47 785 hearses? 48 785 Have 49 785 I 51 785 not 52 785 said, 53 785 old 54 785 man, 56 785 that 57 785 neither 58 785 hearse 59 785 nor 61 785 coffin 62 785 can 63 785 be 64 785 thine?" 66 785 "And 67 785 who 68 785 are 69 785 hearsed 71 785 that 72 785 die 73 785 on 74 785 the 76 785 sea?" 77 785 "But 78 785 I 79 785 said, 81 785 old 82 785 man, 83 785 that 84 785 ere 86 785 thou 87 785 couldst 88 785 die 89 785 on 91 785 this 92 785 voyage, 93 785 two 94 785 hearses 96 785 must 97 785 verily 98 785 be 99 785 seen 101 785 by 102 785 thee 103 785 on 104 785 the 106 785 sea; 107 785 the 108 785 first 109 785 not 111 785 made 112 785 by 113 785 mortal 114 785 hands; 116 785 and 117 785 the 118 785 visible 119 785 wood 121 785 of 122 785 the 123 785 last 124 785 one 126 785 must 127 785 be 128 785 grown 129 785 in 131 785 America." 132 785 "Aye, 133 785 aye! 134 785 a 136 785 strange 137 785 sight 138 785 that, 139 785 Parsee:--a 141 785 hearse 142 785 and 143 785 its 144 785 plumes 146 785 floating 147 785 over 148 785 the 149 785 ocean 151 785 with 152 785 the 153 785 waves 154 785 for 156 785 the 158 785 pall-bearers. 159 785 Ha! 161 785 Such 162 785 a 163 785 sight 164 785 we 166 785 shall 167 785 not 168 785 soon 169 785 see." 171 785 "Believe 172 785 it 173 785 or 174 785 not, 176 785 thou 177 785 canst 178 785 not 179 785 die 181 785 till 182 785 it 183 785 be 184 785 seen, 186 785 old 187 785 man." 188 785 "And 189 785 what 191 785 was 192 785 that 193 785 saying 194 785 about 196 785 thyself?" 197 785 "Though 198 785 it 199 785 come 201 785 to 202 785 the 203 785 last, 204 785 I 206 785 shall 207 785 still 208 785 go 209 785 before 211 785 thee 212 785 thy 213 785 pilot." 214 785 "And 216 785 when 217 785 thou 218 785 art 219 785 so 221 785 gone 222 785 before--if 223 785 that 224 785 ever 226 785 befall--then 227 785 ere 228 785 I 229 785 can 231 785 follow, 232 785 thou 233 785 must 234 785 still 236 785 appear 237 785 to 238 785 me, 239 785 to 241 785 pilot 242 785 me 243 785 still?--Was 244 785 it 246 785 not 247 785 so? 248 785 Well, 249 785 then, 251 785 did 252 785 I 253 785 believe 254 785 all 256 785 ye 257 785 say, 258 785 oh 259 785 my 261 785 pilot! 262 785 I 263 785 have 264 785 here 266 785 two 267 785 pledges 268 785 that 269 785 I 271 785 shall 272 785 yet 273 785 slay 274 785 Moby 276 785 Dick 277 785 and 278 785 survive 279 785 it." 281 785 "Take 282 785 another 283 785 pledge, 284 785 old 286 785 man," 287 785 said 288 785 the 289 785 Parsee, 291 785 as 292 785 his 293 785 eyes 294 785 lighted 296 785 up 297 785 like 298 785 fire-flies 299 785 in 301 785 the 302 785 gloom--"Hemp 303 785 only 304 785 can 306 785 kill 307 785 thee." 308 785 "The 309 785 gallows, 311 785 ye 312 785 mean.--I 313 785 am 316 785 immortal 317 785 then, 318 785 on 319 785 land 321 785 and 322 785 on 323 785 sea," 324 785 cried 326 785 Ahab, 327 785 with 328 785 a 329 785 laugh 331 785 of 332 785 derision;--"Immortal 333 785 on 334 785 land 336 785 and 337 785 on 338 785 sea!" 339 785 Both 341 785 were 342 785 silent 343 785 again, 344 785 as 346 785 one 347 785 man. 348 785 The 349 785 grey 351 785 dawn 352 785 came 353 785 on, 354 785 and 356 785 the 357 785 slumbering 358 785 crew 359 785 arose 361 785 from 362 785 the 363 785 boat's 364 785 bottom, 366 785 and 367 785 ere 368 785 noon 369 785 the 371 785 dead 372 785 whale 373 785 was 374 785 brought 376 785 to 377 785 the 378 785 ship. 379 785 CHAPTER 381 785 118 382 785 The 383 785 Quadrant. 384 785 The 386 785 season 387 785 for 388 785 the 389 785 Line 391 785 at 392 785 length 393 785 drew 394 785 near; 396 785 and 397 785 every 398 785 day 399 785 when 401 785 Ahab, 402 785 coming 403 785 from 404 785 his 406 785 cabin, 407 785 cast 408 785 his 409 785 eyes 411 785 aloft, 412 785 the 413 785 vigilant 414 785 helmsman 416 785 would 417 785 ostentatiously 418 785 handle 419 785 his 421 785 spokes, 422 785 and 423 785 the 424 785 eager 426 785 mariners 427 785 quickly 428 785 run 429 785 to 431 785 the 432 785 braces, 433 785 and 434 785 would 436 785 stand 437 785 there 438 785 with 439 785 all 441 785 their 442 785 eyes 443 785 centrally 444 785 fixed 446 785 on 447 785 the 448 785 nailed 449 785 doubloon; 451 785 impatient 452 785 for 453 785 the 454 785 order 456 785 to 457 785 point 458 785 the 459 785 ship's 461 785 prow 462 785 for 463 785 the 464 785 equator. 466 785 In 467 785 good 468 785 time 469 785 the 472 785 order 473 785 came. 474 785 It 476 785 was 477 785 hard 478 785 upon 479 785 high 481 785 noon; 482 785 and 483 785 Ahab, 484 785 seated 486 785 in 487 785 the 488 785 bows 489 785 of 491 785 his 492 785 high-hoisted 493 785 boat, 494 785 was 496 785 about 497 785 taking 498 785 his 499 785 wonted 501 785 daily 502 785 observation 503 785 of 504 785 the 506 785 sun 507 785 to 508 785 determine 509 785 his 511 785 latitude. 512 785 Now, 513 785 in 514 785 that 516 785 Japanese 517 785 sea, 518 785 the 519 785 days 521 785 in 522 785 summer 523 785 are 524 785 as 526 785 freshets 527 785 of 528 785 effulgences. 529 785 That 531 785 unblinkingly 532 785 vivid 533 785 Japanese 534 785 sun 536 785 seems 537 785 the 538 785 blazing 539 785 focus 541 785 of 542 785 the 543 785 glassy 544 785 ocean's 546 785 immeasurable 547 785 burning-glass. 548 785 The 549 785 sky 551 785 looks 552 785 lacquered; 553 785 clouds 554 785 there 556 785 are 557 785 none; 558 785 the 559 785 horizon 561 785 floats; 562 785 and 563 785 this 564 785 nakedness 566 785 of 567 785 unrelieved 568 785 radiance 569 785 is 571 785 as 572 785 the 573 785 insufferable 574 785 splendors 576 785 of 577 785 God's 578 785 throne. 579 785 Well 581 785 that 582 785 Ahab's 583 785 quadrant 584 785 was 586 785 furnished 587 785 with 588 785 coloured 589 785 glasses, 591 785 through 592 785 which 593 785 to 594 785 take 596 785 sight 597 785 of 598 785 that 599 785 solar 601 785 fire. 602 785 So, 603 785 swinging 604 785 his 606 785 seated 607 785 form 608 785 to 609 785 the 611 785 roll 612 785 of 613 785 the 614 785 ship, 616 785 and 617 785 with 618 785 his 619 785 astrological-looking 621 785 instrument 622 785 placed 623 785 to 624 785 his 626 785 eye, 627 785 he 629 785 remained 631 785 in 632 785 that 633 785 posture 634 785 for 636 785 some 637 785 moments 638 785 to 639 785 catch 641 785 the 642 785 precise 643 785 instant 644 785 when 646 785 the 647 785 sun 648 785 should 649 785 gain 651 785 its 652 785 precise 653 785 meridian. 654 785 Meantime 656 785 while 657 785 his 658 785 whole 659 785 attention 661 785 was 662 785 absorbed, 663 785 the 664 785 Parsee 666 785 was 667 785 kneeling 668 785 beneath 669 785 him 671 785 on 672 785 the 673 785 ship's 674 785 deck, 676 785 and 677 785 with 678 785 face 679 785 thrown 681 785 up 682 785 like 683 785 Ahab's, 684 785 was 686 785 eyeing 687 785 the 688 785 same 689 785 sun 691 785 with 692 785 him; 693 785 only 694 785 the 696 785 lids 697 785 of 698 785 his 699 785 eyes 701 785 half 702 785 hooded 703 785 their 704 785 orbs, 706 785 and 707 785 his 708 785 wild 709 785 face 711 785 was 712 785 subdued 713 785 to 714 785 an 716 785 earthly 717 785 passionlessness. 718 785 At 719 785 length 721 785 the 722 785 desired 723 785 observation 724 785 was 726 785 taken; 727 785 and 728 785 with 729 785 his 731 785 pencil 732 785 upon 733 785 his 734 785 ivory 736 785 leg, 737 785 Ahab 738 785 soon 739 785 calculated 741 785 what 742 785 his 743 785 latitude 744 785 must 746 785 be 747 785 at 748 785 that 749 785 precise 751 785 instant. 752 785 Then 753 785 falling 754 785 into 756 785 a 757 785 moment's 758 785 revery, 759 785 he 761 785 again 762 785 looked 763 785 up 764 785 towards 766 785 the 767 785 sun 768 785 and 769 785 murmured 771 785 to 772 785 himself: 773 785 "Thou 774 785 sea-mark! 776 785 thou 777 785 high 778 785 and 779 785 mighty 781 785 Pilot! 782 785 thou 783 785 tellest 784 785 me 1 786 truly 5 786 where 7 786 I 11 786 AM--but 13 786 canst 17 786 thou 19 786 cast 23 786 the 25 786 least 29 786 hint 31 786 where 35 786 I 37 786 SHALL 41 786 be? 43 786 Or 47 786 canst 49 786 thou 53 786 tell 55 786 where 59 786 some 61 786 other 65 786 thing 67 786 besides 71 786 me 73 786 is 77 786 this 79 786 moment 83 786 living? 85 786 Where 89 786 is 91 786 Moby 95 786 Dick? 97 786 This 101 786 instant 103 786 thou 107 786 must 109 786 be 113 786 eyeing 115 786 him. 119 786 These 121 786 eyes 125 786 of 127 786 mine 133 786 look 137 786 into 139 786 the 143 786 very 145 786 eye 149 786 that 151 786 is 155 786 even 157 786 now 161 786 beholding 163 786 him; 167 786 aye, 169 786 and 173 786 into 175 786 the 179 786 eye 181 786 that 185 786 is 187 786 even 191 786 now 193 786 equally 197 786 beholding 199 786 the 203 786 objects 205 786 on 209 786 the 211 786 unknown, 215 786 thither 217 786 side 221 786 of 223 786 thee, 227 786 thou 229 786 sun!" 233 786 Then 235 786 gazing 239 786 at 241 786 his 245 786 quadrant, 247 786 and 251 786 handling, 253 786 one 257 786 after 259 786 the 263 786 other, 265 786 its 269 786 numerous 271 786 cabalistical 275 786 contrivances, 277 786 he 281 786 pondered 283 786 again, 287 786 and 289 786 muttered: 293 786 "Foolish 295 786 toy! 299 786 babies' 301 786 plaything 305 786 of 307 786 haughty 311 786 Admirals, 313 786 and 317 786 Commodores, 319 786 and 323 786 Captains; 325 786 the 329 786 world 331 786 brags 335 786 of 337 786 thee, 341 786 of 343 786 thy 347 786 cunning 349 786 and 353 786 might; 355 786 but 359 786 what 361 786 after 365 786 all 367 786 canst 371 786 thou 373 786 do, 377 786 but 379 786 tell 383 786 the 385 786 poor, 389 786 pitiful 391 786 point, 395 786 where 397 786 thou 401 786 thyself 403 786 happenest 407 786 to 409 786 be 413 786 on 415 786 this 419 786 wide 421 786 planet, 425 786 and 427 786 the 431 786 hand 433

788 pointing 131 788 his 133 788 hand 135 788 towards 137 788 the 139 788 weather 141 788 bow, 143 788 "markest 145 788 thou 147 788 not 149 788 that 151 788 the 153 788 gale 155 788 comes 157 788

In 223 788 the 225 788 stern-sheets, 227 788 man; 229 788 where 231 788 he 233 788 is 235 788 wont 237 788 to 239 788 stand--his 241 788 stand-point 243 788 is 245 788 stove, 247 788 man! 249 788 Now 251 788 jump 253 788 overboard, 255 788 and 257 788 sing 259 788 away, 261 788 if 263 788 thou 265 788 must! 267 788 "I 269 788 don't 271 788 half 273 788 understand 275 788 ye: 277 788 what's 279 788 in 281 788 the 283 788 wind?" 285 788 "Yes, 287 788 yes, 289 788 round 291 788 the 293 788 Cape 295 788 of 297 788 Good 299 788 Hope 301 788 is 303 788 the 305 788 shortest 307 788 way 309 788 to 311 788 Nantucket," 313 788 soliloquized 315 788 Starbuck 317 788 suddenly, 319 788 heedless 321 788 of 323 788 Stubb's 325 788 question. 327 788 "The 329 788 gale 331 788 that 333 788 now 335 788 hammers 337 788 at 339 788 us 341 788 to 343 788 stave 345 788 us, 347 788 we 349 788 can 351 788 turn 353 788 it 355 788 into 357 788 a 359 788 fair 361 788 wind 363 788 that 365 788 will 367 788 drive 369 788 us 371 788 towards 373 788 home. 375 788 Yonder, 377 788 to 379 788 windward, 381 788 all 383 788 is 385 788 blackness 387 788 of 389 788 doom; 391 788 but 393 788 to 395 788 leeward, 397 788 homeward--I 399 788 see 401 788 it 403 788 lightens 405 788 up 407 788 there; 409 788 but 411 788 not 413 788 with 415 788 the 417 788 lightning." 419 788 At 421 788 that 423 788 moment 425 788 in 427 788 one 429 788 of 431 788 the 433 788 intervals 435 788 of 437 788 profound 439 788 darkness, 441 788 following 443 788 the 445 788 flashes, 447 788 a 449 788 voice 451 788 was 453 788 heard 455 788 at 457 788 his 459 788 side; 461 788 and 463 788 almost 465 788 at 467 788 the 469 788 same 471 788 instant 473 788 a 475 788 volley 477 788 of 479 788 thunder 481 788 peals 483 788 rolled 485 788 overhead. 487 788 "Who's 489 788 there?" 491 788 "Old 493 788 Thunder!" 495 788 said 497 788 Ahab, 499 788 groping 501 788 his 503 788 way 505 788 along 507 788 the 509 788 bulwarks 511 788 to 513 788 his 515 788 pivot-hole; 517 788 but 519 788 suddenly 521 788 finding 523 788 his 525 788 path 527 788 made 529 788 plain 531 788 to 533 788 him 535 788 by 537 788 elbowed 539 788 lances 541 788 of 543 788 fire. 545 788 Now, 547 788 as 549 788 the 551 788 lightning 553 788 rod 555 788 to 557 788 a 559 788 spire 561 788 on 563 788 shore 565 788 is 567 788 intended 569 788 to 571 788 carry 573 788 off 575 788 the 577 788 perilous 579 788 fluid 581 788 into 583 788 the 585 788 soil; 587 788 so 589 788 the 593 788 kindred 595 788 rod 597 788 which 599 788 at 601 788 sea 603 788 some 605 788 ships 607 788 carry 609 788 to 611 788 each 613 788 mast, 615 788 is 617 788 intended 619 788 to 621 788 conduct 623 788 it 625 788 into 627 788 the 629 788 water. 631 788 But 633 788 as 635 788 this 637 788 conductor 639 788 must 641 788 descend 643 788 to 645 788 considerable 647 788 depth, 649 788 that 651 788 its 653 788 end 655 788 may 657 788 avoid 659 788 all 661 788 contact 663 788 with 665 788 the 667 788 hull; 669 788 and 671 788 as 673 788 moreover, 675 788 if 677 788 kept 679 788 constantly 681 788 towing 683 788 there, 685 788 it 687 788 would 689 788 be 691 788 liable 693 788 to 695 788 many 697 788 mishaps, 699 788 besides 701 788 interfering 703 788 not 705 788 a 707 788 little 709 788 with 711 788 some 713 788 of 715 788 the 717 788 rigging, 719 788 and 721 788 more 723 788 or 725 788 less 727 788 impeding 729 788 the 731 788 vessel's 733 788 way 735 788 in 737 788 the 739 788 water; 741 788 because 743 788 of 745 788 all 747 788 this, 749 788 the 751 788 lower 753 788 parts 755 788 of 757 788 a 759 788 ship's 761 788 lightning-rods 763 788 are 765 788 not 767 788 always 769 788 overboard; 771 788 but 773 788 are 775 788 generally 777 788 made 779 788 in 781 788 long 783 788 slender 785 788 links, 787 788 so 1 789 as 2 789 to 4 789 be 5 789 the 7 789 more 8 789 readily 10 789 hauled 11 789 up 13 789 into 14 789 the 16 789 chains 17 789 outside, 19 789 or 20 789 thrown 22 789 down 23 789 into 25 789 the 26 789 sea, 28 789 as 29 789 occasion 31 789 may 32 789 require. 34 789 "The 35 789 rods! 37 789 the 38 789 rods!" 40 789 cried 41 789 Starbuck 43 789 to 44 789 the 46 789 crew, 47 789 suddenly 49 789 admonished 50 789 to 52 789 vigilance 53 789 by 55 789 the 56 789 vivid 58 789 lightning 59 789 that 61 789 had 62 789 just 64 789 been 65 789 darting 67 789 flambeaux, 68 789 to 70 789 light 71 789 Ahab 73 789 to 74 789 his 76 789 post. 77 789 "Are 79 789 they 80 789 overboard? 82 789 drop 83 789 them 85 789 over, 86 789 fore 88 789 and 89 789 aft. 91 789 Quick!" 92 789 "Avast!" 94 789 cried 95 789 Ahab; 97 789 "let's 98 789 have 100 789 fair 101 789 play 103 789 here, 104 789 though 106 789 we 107 789 be 109 789 the 110 789 weaker 112 789 side. 113 789 Yet 115 789 I'll 116 789 contribute 118 789 to 119 789 raise 121 789 rods 122 789 on 124 789 the 125 789 Himmalehs 127 789 and 128 789 Andes, 130 789 that 131 789 all 133 789 the 134 789 world 136 789 may 137 789 be 139 789 secured; 140 789 but 142 789 out 143 789 on 145 789 privileges! 146 789 Let 148 789 them 149 789 be, 151 789 sir." 152 789 "Look 154 789 aloft!" 155 789 cried 157 789 Starbuck. 158 789 "The 160 789 corpusants! 161 789 the 163 789 corpusants! 164 789 All 166 789 the 167 789 yard-arms 169 789 were 170 789 tipped 172 789 with 173 789 a 175 789 pallid 176 789 fire; 178 789 and 179 789 touched 181 789 at 182 789 each 184 789 tri-pointed 185 789 lightning-rod-end 187 789 with 188 789 three 190 789 tapering 191 789 white 193 789 flames, 194 789 each 196 789 of 197 789 the 199 789 three 200 789 tall 202 789 masts 203 789 was 205 789 silently 206 789 burning 208 789 in 209 789 that 211 789 sulphurous 212 789 air, 214 789 like 215 789 three 217 789 gigantic 218 789 wax 220 789 tapers 221 789 before 223 789 an 224 789 altar. 226 789 "Blast 227 789 the 229 789 boat! 230 789 let 232 789 it 233 789 go!" 235 789 cried 236 789 Stubb 238 789 at 239 789 this 241 789 instant, 242 789 as 244 789 a 245 789 swashing 247 789 sea 248 789 heaved 250 789 up 251 789 under 253 789 his 254 789 own 256 789 little 257 789 craft, 259 789 so 260 789 that 262 789 its 265 789 gunwale 266 789 violently 268 789 jammed 269 789 his 271 789 hand, 272 789 as 274 789 he 275 789 was 277 789 passing 278 789 a 280 789 lashing. 281 789 "Blast 283 789 it!"--but 284 789 slipping 286 789 backward 287 789 on 289 789 the 290 789 deck, 292 789 his 293 789 uplifted 295 789 eyes 296 789 caught 298 789 the 299 789 flames; 301 789 and 302 789 immediately 304 789 shifting 305 789 his 307 789 tone 308 789 he 310 789 cried--"The 311 789 corpusants 313 789 have 314 789 mercy 316 789 on 317 789 us 319 789 all!" 320 789 To 322 789 sailors, 323 789 oaths 325 789 are 326 789 household 328 789 words; 329 789 they 331 789 will 332 789 swear 334 789 in 335 789 the 337 789 trance 338 789 of 340 789 the 341 789 calm, 343 789 and 344 789 in 346 789 the 347 789 teeth 349 789 of 350 789 the 352 789 tempest; 353 789 they 355 789 will 356 789 imprecate 358 789 curses 359 789 from 361 789 the 362 789 topsail-yard-arms, 364 789 when 365 789 most 367 789 they 368 789 teeter 370 789 over 371 789 to 373 789 a 374 789 seething 376 789 sea; 377 789 but 379 789 in 380 789 all 382 789 my 383 789 voyagings, 385 789 seldom 386 789 have 388 789 I 389 789 heard 391 789 a 392 789 common 394 789 oath 395 789 when 397 789 God's 398 789 burning 400 789 finger 401 789 has 403 789 been 404 789 laid 406 789 on 407 789 the 409 789 ship; 410 789 when 412 789 His 413 789 "Mene, 415 789 Mene, 416 789 Tekel 418 789 Upharsin" 419 789 has 421 789 been 422 789 woven 424 789 into 425 789 the 427 789 shrouds 428 789 and 430 789 the 431 789 cordage. 433 789 While 434 789 this 436 789 pallidness 437 789 was 439 789 burning 440 789 aloft, 442 789 few 443 789 words 445 789 were 446 789 heard 448 789 from 449 789 the 451 789 enchanted 452 789 crew; 454 789 who 455 789 in 457 789 one 458 789 thick 460 789 cluster 461 789 stood 463 789 on 464 789 the 466 789 forecastle, 467 789 all 469 789 their 470 789 eyes 472 789 gleaming 473 789 in 475 789 that 476 789 pale 478 789 phosphorescence, 479 789 like 481 789 a 482 789 far 484 789 away 485 789 constellation 487 789 of 488 789 stars. 490 789 Relieved 491 789 against 493 789 the 494 789 ghostly 496 789 light, 497 789 the 499 789 gigantic 500 789 jet 502 789 negro, 503 789 Daggoo, 505 789 loomed 506 789 up 508 789 to 509 789 thrice 511 789 his 512 789 real 514 789 stature, 515 789 and 517 789 seemed 518 789 the 520 789 black 521 789 cloud 523 789 from 524 789 which 527 789 the 529 789 thunder 530 789 had 532 789 come. 533 789 The 535 789 parted 536 789 mouth 538 789 of 539 789 Tashtego 541 789 revealed 542 789 his 544 789 shark-white 545 789 teeth, 547 789 which 548 789 strangely 550 789 gleamed 551 789 as 553 789 if 554 789 they 556 789 too 557 789 had 559 789 been 560 789 tipped 562 789 by 563 789 corpusants; 565 789 while 566 789 lit 568 789 up 569 789 by 571 789 the 572 789 preternatural 574 789 light, 575 789 Queequeg's 577 789 tattooing 578 789 burned 580 789 like 581 789 Satanic 583 789 blue 584 789 flames 586 789 on 587 789

797 his 82 797 bayonet 83 797 rays 84 797 moved 85 797 on 86 797 in 87 797 stacks. 88 797 Emblazonings, 89 797 as 90 797 of 91 797 crowned 92 797 Babylonian 93 797 kings 94 797 and 95 797 queens, 96 797 reigned 97 797 over 98 797 everything. 99 797 The 100 797 sea 101 797 was 102 797 as 103 797 a 104 797 crucible 105 797 of 106 797 molten 107 797 gold, 108 797 that 109 797 bubblingly 110 797 leaps 111 797 with 112 797 light 113 797 and 114 797 heat. 115 797 Long 116 797 maintaining 117 797 an 118 797 enchanted 119 797 silence, 120 797 Ahab 121 797 stood 122 797 apart; 123 797 and 124 797 every 125 797 time 126 797 the 127 797 tetering 128 797 ship 129 797 loweringly 130 797 pitched 131 797 down 132 797 her 133 797 bowsprit, 134 797 he 135 797 turned 136 797 to 137 797 eye 138 797 the 139 797 bright 140 797 sun's 141 797 rays 142 797 produced 143 797 ahead; 144 797 and 145 797 when 146 797 she 147 797 profoundly 148 797 settled 149 797 by 150 797 the 151 797 stern, 152 797 he 153 797 turned 154 797 behind, 155 797 and 156 797 saw 157 797 the 158 797 sun's 159 797 rearward 160 797 place, 161 797 and 162 797 how 163 797 the 164 797 same 165 797 yellow 166 797 rays 167 797 were 168 797 blending 169 797 with 170 797 his 171 797 undeviating 172 797 wake. 173 797 "Ha, 174 797 ha, 175 797 my 176 797 ship! 177 797 thou 178 797 mightest 179 797 well 180 797 be 181 797 taken 182 797 now 183 797 for 184 797 the 185 797 sea-chariot 186 797 of 187 797 the 188 797 sun. 189 797 Ho, 190 797 ho! 191 797 all 192 797 ye 193 797 nations 194 797 before 195 797 my 196 797 prow, 197 797 I 198 797 bring 199 797 the 200 797 sun 201 797 to 202 797 ye! 203 797 Yoke 204 797 on 205 797 the 206 797 further 207 797 billows; 208 797 hallo! 209 797 a 210 797 tandem, 211 797 I 212 797 drive 213 797 the 214 797 sea!" 215 797 But 216 797 suddenly 217 797 reined 218 797 back 219 797 by 220 797 some 221 797 counter 222 797 thought, 223 797 he 224 797 hurried 225 797 towards 226 797 the 227 797 helm, 228 797 huskily 229 797 demanding 230 797 how 231 797 the 232 797 ship 233 797 was 234 797 heading. 235 797 "East-sou-east, 236 797 sir," 237 797 said 238 797 the 239 797 frightened 240 797 steersman. 241 797 "Thou 242 797 liest!" 243 797 smiting 244 797 him 245 797 with 246 797 his 247 797 clenched 248 797 fist. 249 797 "Heading 250 797 East 251 797 at 252 797 this 253 797 hour 254 797 in 255 797 the 256 797 morning, 257 797 and 258 797 the 259 797 sun 260 797 astern?" 261 797 Upon 262 797 this 263 797 every 264 797 soul 265 797 was 266 797 confounded; 267 797 for 268 797 the 269 797 phenomenon 270 797 just 271 797 then 272 797 observed 273 797 by 274 797 Ahab 275 797 had 276 797 unaccountably 277 797 escaped 278 797 every 279 797 one 280 797 else; 281 797 but 282 797 its 283 797 very 284 797 blinding 285 797 palpableness 286 797 must 287 797 have 288 797 been 289 797 the 290 797 cause. 291 797 Thrusting 292 797 his 293 797 head 294 797 half 295 797 way 296 797 into 297 797 the 298 797 binnacle, 299 797 Ahab 300 797 caught 301 797 one 302 797 glimpse 303 797 of 304 797 the 305 797 compasses; 306 797 his 307 797 uplifted 308 797 arm 309 797 slowly 310 797 fell; 311 797 for 312 797 a 313 797 moment 314 797 he 315 797 almost 316 797 seemed 317 797 to 318 797 stagger. 319 797 Standing 320 797 behind 321 797 him 322 797 Starbuck 323 797 looked, 324 797 and 325 797 lo! 326 797 the 327 797 two 328 797 compasses 329 797 pointed 330 797 East, 331 797 and 332 797 the 333 797 Pequod 334 797 was 335 797 as 336 797 infallibly 337 797 going 338 797 West. 339 797 But 340 797 ere 341 797 the 342 797 first 343 797 wild 344 797 alarm 345 797 could 346 797 get 347 797 out 348 797 abroad 349 797 among 350 797 the 351 797 crew, 352 797 the 353 797 old 354 797 man 355 797 with 356 797 a 357 797 rigid 358 797 laugh 359 797 exclaimed, 360 797 "I 361 797 have 362 797 it! 363 797 It 364 797 has 365 797 happened 366 797 before. 367 797 Mr. 368 797 Starbuck, 369 797 last 370 797 night's 371 797 thunder 372 797 turned 373 797 our 374 797 compasses--that's 375 797 all. 376 797 Thou 377 797 hast 378 797 before 379 797 now 380 797 heard 381 797 of 382 797 such 383 797 a 384 797 thing, 385 797 I 386 797 take 387 797 it." 388 797 "Aye; 389 797 but 390 797 never 391 797 before 392 797 has 393 797 it 394 797 happened 395 797 to 396 797 me, 397 797 sir," 398 797 said 399 797 the 400 797 pale 401 797 mate, 402 797 gloomily. 403 797 Here, 404 797 it 405 797 must 406 797 needs 407 797 be 408 797 said, 409 797 that 410 797 accidents 411 797 like 412 797 this 413 797 have 414 797 in 415 797 more 416 797 than 417 797 one 418 797 case 419 797 occurred 420 797 to 421 797 ships 422 797 in 423 797 violent 424 797 storms. 425 797 The 426 797 magnetic 427 797 energy, 428 797 as 429 797 developed 430 797 in 431 797 the 432 797 mariner's 433 797 needle, 434 797 is, 435 797 as 436 797 all 437 797 know, 438 797 essentially 439 797 one 440 797 with 441 797 the 442 797 electricity 443 797 beheld 444 797 in 445 797 heaven; 446 797 hence 447 797 it 448 797 is 449 797 not 450 797 to 451 797 be 452 797 much 453 797 marvelled 454 797 at, 455 797 that 456 797 such 457 797 things 458 797 should 459 797 be. 460 797 Instances 461 797 where 462 797 the 463 797 lightning 464 797 has 465 797 actually 466 797 struck 467 797 the 468 797 vessel, 469 797 so 470 797 as 471 797 to 472 797 smite 473 797 down 474 797 some 475 797 of 476 797 the 477 797 spars 478 797 and 479 797 rigging, 480 797 the 481 797 effect 482 797 upon 483 797 the 484 797 needle 485 797 has 486 797 at 487 797 times 488 797 been 489 797 still 490 797 more 491 797 fatal; 492 797 all 493 797 its 494 797 loadstone 495 797 virtue 496 797 being 497 797 annihilated, 498 797 so 499 797 that 500 797 the 501 797 before 502 797 magnetic 503 797 steel 504 797 was 505 797 of 506 797 no 507 797 more 508 797 use 509 797 than 510 797 an 511 797 old 512 797 wife's 513 797 knitting 514 797 needle. 515 797 But 516 797 in 517 797 either 518 797 case, 519 797 the 520 797 needle 521 797 never 522 797 again, 523 797 of 524 797 itself, 525 797 recovers 526 797 the 527 797 original 528 797 virtue 529 797 thus 530 797 marred 531 797 or 532 797 lost; 533 797 and 534 797 if 535 797 the 536 797 binnacle 537 797 compasses 538 797 be 539 797 affected, 540 797 the 541 797 same 542 797 fate 543 797 reaches 544 797 all 545 797 the 546 797 others 547 797 that 548 797 may 549 797 be 550 797 in 551 797 the 552 797 ship; 553 797 even 554 797 were 555 797 the 556 797 lowermost 557 797 one 558 797 inserted 559 797 into 560 797 the 561 797 kelson. 562 797 Deliberately 563 797 standing 564 797 before 565 797 the 566 797 binnacle, 567 797 and 568 797 eyeing 569 797 the 570 797 transpointed 571 797 compasses, 572 797 the 573 797 old 574 797 man, 575 797 with 576 797 the 577 797 sharp 578 797 of 579 797 his 580 797 extended 581 797 hand, 582 797 now 583 797 took 584 797 the 585 797 precise 586 797 bearing 587 797 of 588 797 the 589 797 sun, 590 797 and 591 797 satisfied 592 797 that 593 797 the 594 797 needles 595 797 were 596 797 exactly 597 797 inverted, 598 797 shouted 599 797 out 600 797 his 601 797 orders 602 797 for 603 797 the 604 797 ship's 605 797 course 606 797 to 607 797 be 608 797 changed 609 797 accordingly. 610 797 The 611 797 yards 612 797 were 613 797 hard 614 797 up; 615 797 and 616 797 once 617 797 more 618 797 the 619 797 Pequod 620 797 thrust 621 797 her 622 797 undaunted 623 797 bows 624 797 into 625 797 the 626 797 opposing 627 797 wind, 628 797 for 629 797 the 630 797 supposed 631 797 fair 632 797 one 633 797 had 634 797 only 635 797 been 636 797 juggling 637 797 her. 638 797 Meanwhile, 639 797 whatever 640 797 were 641 797 his 642 797 own 643 797 secret 644 797 thoughts, 645 797 Starbuck 646 797 said 647 797 nothing, 648 797 but 649 797 quietly 650 797 he 651 797 issued 652 797 all 653 797 requisite 654 797 orders; 655 797 while 656 797 Stubb 657 797 and 658 797 Flask--who 659 797 in 660 797 some 661 797 small 662 797 degree 663 797 seemed 664 797 then 665 797 to 666 797 be 667 797 sharing 668 797 his 669 797 feelings--likewise 670 797 unmurmuringly 671 797 acquiesced. 672 797 As 673 797 for 674 797 the 675 797 men, 676 797 though 677 797 some 678 797 of 679 797 them 680 797 lowly 681 797 rumbled, 682 797 their 683 797 fear 684 797 of 685 797 Ahab 686 797 was 687 797 greater 688 797 than 689 797 their 690 797 fear 691 797 of 692 797 Fate. 693 797 But 694 797 as 695 797 ever 696 797 before, 697 797 the 698 797 pagan 699 797 harpooneers 700 797 remained 701 797 almost 702 797 wholly 703 797 unimpressed; 704 797 or 705 797 if 706 797 impressed, 707 797 it 708 797 was 709 797 only 710 797 with 711 797 a 712 797 certain 713 797 magnetism 714 797 shot 715 797 into 716 797 their 717 797 congenial 718 797 hearts 719 797 from 720 797 inflexible 721 797 Ahab's. 722 797 For 723 797 a 724 797 space 725 797 the 726 797 old 727 797 man 728 797 walked 729 797 the 730 797 deck 731 797 in 732 797 rolling 733 797 reveries. 734 797 But 735 797 chancing 736 797 to 737 797 slip 738 797 with 739 797 his 740 797 ivory 741 797 heel, 742 797 he 743 797 saw 744 797 the 745 797 crushed 746 797 copper 747 797 sight-tubes 748 797 of 749 797 the 750 797 quadrant 751 797 he 752 797 had 753 797 the 754 797 day 755 797 before 756 797 dashed 757 797 to 758 797 the 759 797 deck. 760 797 "Thou 761 797 poor, 762 797 proud 763 797 heaven-gazer 764 797 and 765 797 sun's 766 797 pilot! 767 797 yesterday 768 797 I 769 797 wrecked 770 797 thee, 771 797 and 772 797 to-day 773 797 the 774 797 compasses 775 797 would 776 797 fain 777 797 have 778 797 wrecked 779 797 me. 780 797 So, 781 797 so. 782 797 But 783 797 Ahab 784 797 is 785 797 lord 786 797 over 787 797 the 788 797 level 789 797 loadstone 790 797 yet. 791 797 Mr. 792 797 Starbuck--a 793 797 lance 794 797 without 795 797 a 796 797 pole; 1 798 a 5 798 top-maul, 11 798 and 13 798 the 17 798 smallest 23 798 of 25 798 the 29 798 sail-maker's 31 798 needles. 37 798 Quick!" 41 798 Accessory, 43 798 perhaps, 47 798 to 53 798 the 55 798 impulse 59 798 dictating 61 798 the 65 798 thing 67 798 he 71 798 was 73 798 now 79 798 about 83 798 to 85 798 do, 89 798 were 97 798 certain 101 798 prudential 103 798 motives, 107 798 whose 109 798 object 113 798 might 115 798 have 121 798 been 125 798 to 127 798 revive 131 798 the 137 798 spirits 139 798 of 143 798 his 145 798 crew 149 798 by 151 798 a 155 798 stroke 157 798 of 163 798 his 167 798 subtile 169 798 skill, 173 798 in 179 798 a 181 798 matter 185 798 so 187 798 wondrous 191 798 as 193 798 that 197 798 of 199 798 the 205 798 inverted 211 798 compasses. 215 798 Besides, 221 798 the 223 798 old 227 798 man 229 798 well 233 798 knew 235 798 that 239 798 to 241 798 steer 251 798 by 253 798 transpointed 257 798 needles, 263 798 though 265 798 clumsily 269 798 practicable, 271 798 was 275 798 not 277 798 a 281 798 thing 283 798 to 289 798 be 293 798 passed 295 798 over 299 798 by 305 798 superstitious 307 798 sailors, 311 798 without 313 798 some 317 798 shudderings 319 798 and 325 798 evil 331 798 portents. 335 798 "Men," 337 798 said 341 798 he, 347 798 steadily 349 798 turning 353 798 upon 355 798 the 359 798 crew, 365 798 as 367 798 the 373 798 mate 377 798 handed 379 798 him 383 798 the 389 798 things 391 798 he 395 798 had 397 798 demanded, 401 798 "my 403 798 men, 407 798 the 409 798 thunder 415 798 turned 419 798 old 421 798 Ahab's 425 798 needles; 431 798 but 433 798 out 439 798 of 443 798 this 445 798 bit 449 798 of 451 798 steel 457 798 Ahab 461 798 can 463 798 make 467 798 one 473 798 of 479 798 his 481 798 own, 485 798 that 487 798 will 491 798 point 493 798 as 499 798 true 503 798 as 505 798 any." 509 798 Abashed 515 798 glances 517 798 of 521 798 servile 523 798 wonder 527 798 were 529 798 exchanged 533 798 by 535 798 the 541 798 sailors, 545 798 as 547 798 this 557 798 was 559 798 said; 563 798 and 565 798 with 569 798 fascinated 571 798 eyes 575 798 they 577 798 awaited 583 798 whatever 587 798 magic 593 798 might 599 798 follow. 601 798 But 605 798 Starbuck 607 798 looked 611 798 away. 613 798 With 617 798 a 619 798 blow 625 798 from 629 798 the 631 798 top-maul 635 798 Ahab 641 798 knocked 643 798 off 647 798 the 649 798 steel 653 798 head 655 798 of 659 798 the 661 798 lance, 667 798 and 671 798 then 673 798 handing 677 798 to 683 798 the 685 798 mate 689 798 the 691 798 long 695 798 iron 697 798 rod 701 798 remaining, 709 798 bade 713 798 him 715 798 hold 719 798 it 725 798 upright, 727 798 without 731 798 its 733 798 touching 737 798 the 739 798 deck. 743 798 Then, 745 798 with 751 798 the 755 798 maul, 757 798 after 761 798 repeatedly 767 798 smiting 769 798 the 773 798 upper 775 798 end 781 798 of 785 798 this 787 798 iron 793 798 rod, 797 798 he 1 799 placed 2 799 the 3 799 blunted 4 799 needle 5 799 endwise 6 799 on 7 799 the 8 799 top 9 799 of 10 799 it, 11 799 and 12 799 less 13 799 strongly 14 799 hammered 15 799 that, 16 799 several 18 799 times, 19 799 the 20 799 mate 21 799 still 22 799 holding 23 799 the 24 799 rod 25 799 as 26 799 before. 27 799 Then 28 799 going 29 799 through 30 799 some 31 799 small 32 799 strange 33 799 motions 35 799 with 36 799 it--whether 37 799 indispensable 38 799 to 39 799 the 40 799 magnetizing 41 799 of 42 799 the 43 799 steel, 44 799 or 45 799 merely 46 799 intended 48 799 to 49 799 augment 50 799 the 52 799 awe 53 799 of 54 799 the 55 799 crew, 56 799 is 57 799 uncertain--he 58 799 called 59 799 for 60 799 linen 61 799 thread; 62 799 and 63 799 moving 64 799 to 65 799 the 66 799 binnacle, 67 799 slipped 69 799 out 70 799 the 71 799 two 72 799 reversed 73 799 needles 74 799 there, 75 799 and 76 799 horizontally 77 799 suspended 78 799 the 79 799 sail-needle 80 799 by 81 799 its 82 799 middle, 83 799 over 84 799 one 86 799 of 87 799 the 88 799 compass-cards. 89 799 At 90 799 first, 91 799 the 92 799 steel 93 799 went 95 799 round 96 799 and 97 799 round, 98 799 quivering 99 799 and 100 799 vibrating 101 799 at 103 799 either 104 799 end; 105 799 but 106 799 at 107 799 last 108 799 it 109 799 settled 110 799 to 111 799 its 112 799 place, 113 799 when 114 799 Ahab, 115 799 who 116 799 had 117 799 been 118 799 intently 120 799 watching 121 799 for 122 799 this 123 799 result, 124 799 stepped 125 799 frankly 126 799 back 127 799 from 128 799 the 129 799 binnacle, 130 799 and 131 799 pointing 132 799 his 133 799 stretched 134 799 arm 135 799 towards 137 799 it, 138 799 exclaimed,--"Look 139 799 ye, 140 799 for 142 799 yourselves, 143 799 if 144 799 Ahab 145 799 be 146 799 not 147 799 lord 148 799 of 149 799 the 150 799 level 151 799 loadstone! 152 799 The 154 799 sun 155 799 is 156 799 East, 157 799 and 158 799 that 159 799 compass 160 799 swears 161 799 it!" 162 799 One 163 799 after 164 799 another 165 799 they 166 799 peered 167 799 in, 168 799 for 169 799 nothing 171 799 but 172 799 their 173 799 own 174 799 eyes 175 799 could 176 799 persuade 177 799 such 178 799 ignorance 179 799 as 180 799 theirs, 181 799 and 182 799 one 183 799 after 184 799 another 185 799 they 186 799 slunk 189 799 away. 190 799 In 191 799 his 192 799 fiery 193 799 eyes 194 799 of 195 799 scorn 196 799 and 197 799 triumph, 198 799 you 199 799 then 200 799 saw 201 799 Ahab 202 799 in 203 799 all 205 799 his 206 799 fatal 207 799 pride. 208 799 CHAPTER 209 799 125 210 799 The 211 799 Log 212 799 and 213 799 Line. 214 799 While 215 799 now 216 799 the 217 799 fated 218 799 Pequod 219 799 had 220 799 been 222 799 so 223 799 long 224 799 afloat 225 799 this 226 799 voyage, 227 799 the 228 799 log 229 799 and 230 799 line 231 799 had 232 799 but 233 799 very 234 799 seldom 236 799 been 237 799 in 239 799 use. 240 799 Owing 241 799 to 242 799 a 243 799 confident 244 799 reliance 245 799 upon 246 799 other 247 799 means 248 799 of 249 799 determining 250 799 the 251 799 vessel's 252 799 place, 253 799 some 254 799 merchantmen, 256 799 and 257 799 many 258 799 whalemen, 259 799 especially 260 799 when 261 799 cruising, 262 799 wholly 263 799 neglect 264 799 to 265 799 heave 266 799 the 267 799 log; 268 799 though 269 799 at 270 799 the 271 799 same 273 799 time, 274 799 and 275 799 frequently 276 799 more 277 799 for 278 799 form's 279 799 sake 280 799 than 281 799 anything 283 799 else, 284 799 regularly 285 799 putting 286 799 down 287 799 upon 288 799 the 290 799 customary 291 799 slate 292 799 the 293 799 course 294 799 steered 295 799 by 296 799 the 297 799 ship, 298 799 as 299 799 well 300 799 as 301 799 the 302 799 presumed 303 799 average 304 799 rate 305 799 of 307 799 progression 308 799 every 309 799 hour. 310 799 It 311 799 had 312 799 been 313 799 thus 314 799 with 315 799 the 316 799 Pequod. 317 799 The 318 799 wooden 319 799 reel 320 799 and 321 799 angular 322 799 log 324 799 attached 325 799 hung, 326 799 long 327 799 untouched, 328 799 just 330 799 beneath 331 799 the 332 799 railing 333 799 of 334 799 the 335 799 after 336 799 bulwarks. 337 799 Rains 338 799 and 339 799 spray 341 799 had 342 799 damped 343 799 it; 344 799 sun 345 799 and 346 799 wind 347 799 had 348 799 warped 349 799 it; 350 799 all 351 799 the 352 799 elements 353 799 had 354 799 combined 355 799 to 356 799 rot 358 799 a 359 799 thing 360 799 that 361 799 hung 362 799 so 363 799 idly. 364 799 But 365 799 heedless 366 799 of 367 799 all 368 799 this, 369 799 his 370 799 mood 371 799 seized 372 799 Ahab, 373 799 as 375 799 he 377 799 happened 378 799 to 379 799 glance 380 799 upon 381 799 the 382 799 reel, 383 799 not 384 799 many 385 799 hours 386 799 after 387 799 the 388 799 magnet 389 799 scene, 390 799 and 392 799 he 393 799 remembered 394 799 how 395 799 his 396 799 quadrant 397 799 was 398 799 no 399 799 more, 400 799 and 401 799 recalled 402 799 his 403 799 frantic 404 799 oath 405 799 about 406 799 the 407 799 level 409 799 log 410 799 and 411 799 line. 412 799 The 413 799 ship 414 799 was 415 799 sailing 416 799 plungingly; 417 799 astern 418 799 the 419 799 billows 420 799 rolled 421 799 in 422 799 riots. 424 799 "Forward, 426 799 there! 427 799 Heave 428 799 the 429 799 log!" 430 799 Two 431 799 seamen 432 799 came. 433 799 The 434 799 golden-hued 435 799 Tahitian 436 799 and 437 799 the 438 799 grizzly 439 799 Manxman. 440 799 "Take 441 799 the 443 799 reel, 444 799 one 445 799 of 446 799 ye, 447 799 I'll 448 799 heave." 449 799 They 450 799 went 451 799 towards 452 799 the 453 799 extreme 454 799 stern, 455 799 on 456 799 the 457 799 ship's 458 799 lee 460 799 side, 461 799 where 462 799 the 463 799 deck, 464 799 with 465 799 the 466 799 oblique 467 799 energy 468 799 of 469 799 the 471 799 wind, 472 799 was 473 799 now 474 799 almost 475 799 dipping 477 799 into 478 799 the 479 799 creamy, 480 799 sidelong-rushing 481 799 sea. 482 799 The 483 799 Manxman 484 799 took 485 799 the 486 799 reel, 487 799 and 488 799

504 799 of 505 799 line 506 799 revolved, 507 799 so 508 799 stood 509 799 with 511 799 the 512 799 angular 513 799 log 514 799 hanging 515 799 downwards, 516 799 till 518 799 Ahab 519 799 advanced 520 799 to 521 799 him. 522 799 Ahab 523 799 stood 524 799 before 525 799 him, 526 799 and 528 799 was 529 799 lightly 530 799 unwinding 531 799 some 532 799 thirty 533 799 or 534 799 forty 535 799

551 799 intently 552 799 eyeing 553 799 both 554 799 him 555 799 and 556 799 the 557 799 line, 558 799 made 559 799 bold 560 799 to 562 799 speak. 563 799 "Sir, 565 799 I 566 799 mistrust 567 799 it;

level 382 801 log 383 801 and 385 801 line; 386 801 the 388 801 Pequod 389 801 held 391 801 on 392 801 her 394 801 path 395 801 towards 397 801 the 398 801 Equator. 400 801 Making 401 801 so 403 801 long 404 801 a 406 801 passage 407 801 through 409 801 such 410 801 unfrequented 412 801 waters, 413 801 descrying 415 801 no 416 801 ships, 418 801 and 419 801 ere 421 801 long, 422 801 sideways 424 801 impelled 425 801 by 427 801 unvarying 428 801 trade 430 801 winds, 431 801 over 433 801 waves 434 801 monotonously 436 801 mild; 437 801 all 439 801 these 440 801 seemed 442 801 the 443 801 strange 446 801 calm 448 801 things 449 801 preluding 451 801 some 452 801 riotous 454 801 and 455 801 desperate 457 801 scene. 458 801 At 460 801 last, 461 801 when 463 801 the 464 801 ship 466 801 drew 467 801 near 469 801 to 470 801 the 472 801 outskirts, 473 801 as 475 801 it 476 801 were, 478 801 of 479 801 the 481 801 Equatorial 482 801 fishing-ground, 484 801 and 485 801 in 487 801 the 488 801 deep 490 801 darkness 491 801 that 493 801 goes 494 801 before 496 801 the 497 801 dawn, 499 801 was 500 801 sailing 502 801 by 503 801 a 505 801 cluster 506 801 of 508 801 rocky 509 801 islets; 511 801 the 512 801 watch--then 514 801 headed 515 801 by 517 801 Flask--was 518 801 startled 520 801 by 521 801 a 523 801 cry 524 801 so 526 801 plaintively 527 801 wild 529 801 and 530 801 unearthly--like 532 801 half-articulated 533 801 wailings 535 801 of 536 801 the 538 801 ghosts 539 801 of 541 801 all 542 801 Herod's 544 801 murdered 545 801 Innocents--that 547 801 one 548 801 and 550 801 all, 551 801 they 553 801 started 554 801 from 556 801 their 557 801 reveries, 559 801 and 560 801 for 562 801 the 563 801 space 565 801 of 566 801 some 568 801 moments 569 801 stood, 571 801 or 572 801 sat, 574 801 or 575 801 leaned 577 801 all 578 801 transfixedly 580 801 listening, 581 801 like 583 801 the 584 801 carved 586 801 Roman 587 801 slave, 589 801 while 590 801 that 592 801 wild 593 801 cry 595 801 remained 596 801 within 598 801 hearing. 599 801 The 601 801 Christian 602 801 or 604 801 civilized 605 801 part 607 801 of 608 801 the 610 801 crew 611 801 said 613 801 it 614 801 was 616 801 mermaids, 617 801 and 619 801 shuddered; 620 801 but 622 801 the 625 801 pagan 626 801 harpooneers 628 801 remained 629 801 unappalled. 631 801 Yet 632 801 the 634 801 grey 635 801 Manxman--the 637 801 oldest 638 801 mariner 640 801 of 641 801 all--declared 643 801 that 644 801 the 646 801 wild 647 801 thrilling 649 801 sounds 650 801 that 652 801 were 653 801 heard, 655 801 were 656 801 the 658 801 voices 659 801 of 661 801 newly 662 801 drowned 664 801 men 665 801 in 667 801 the 668 801 sea. 670 801 Below 671 801 in 673 801 his 674 801 hammock, 676 801 Ahab 677 801 did 679 801 not 680 801 hear 682 801 of 683 801 this 685 801 till 686 801 grey 688 801 dawn, 689 801 when 691 801 he 692 801 came 694 801 to 695 801 the 697 801 deck; 698 801 it 700 801 was 701 801 then 703 801 recounted 704 801 to 706 801 him 707 801 by 709 801 Flask, 710 801 not 713 801 unaccompanied 715 801 with 716 801 hinted 718 801 dark 719 801 meanings. 721 801 He 722 801 hollowly 724 801 laughed, 725 801 and 727 801 thus 728 801 explained 730 801 the 731 801 wonder. 733 801 Those 734 801 rocky 736 801 islands 737 801 the 739 801 ship 740 801 had 742 801 passed 743 801 were 745 801 the 746 801 resort 748 801 of 749 801 great 751 801 numbers 752 801 of 754 801 seals, 755 801 and 757 801 some 758 801 young 760 801 seals 761 801 that 763 801 had 764 801 lost 766 801 their 767 801 dams, 769 801 or 770 801 some 772 801 dams 773 801 that 775 801 had 776 801 lost 778 801 their 779 801 cubs, 781 801 must 782 801 have 784 801 risen 785 801 nigh 787 801 the 788 801 ship 790 801 and 791 801 kept 793 801 company 794 801 with 796 801 her, 797 801 crying 799 801 and 800 801 sobbing 1 802 with 3 802 their 5 802 human 7 802 sort 9 802 of 11 802 wail. 13 802 But 15 802 this 17 802 only 19 802 the 21 802 more 23 802 affected 25 802 some 27 802 of 29 802 them, 31 802 because 33 802 most 35 802 mariners 37 802 cherish 39 802 a 41 802 very 43 802 superstitious 45 802 feeling 47 802 about 49 802 seals, 51 802 arising 53 802 not 55 802 only 57 802 from 59 802 their 61 802 peculiar 63 802 tones 65 802 when 67 802 in 69 802 distress, 71 802 but 73 802 also 75 802 from 77 802 the 79 802 human 81 802 look 83 802 of 85 802 their 87 802 round 89 802 heads 91 802 and 93 802 semi-intelligent 95 802 faces, 97 802 seen 99 802 peeringly 101 802 uprising 103 802 from 105 802 the 107 802 water 109 802 alongside. 111 802 In 113 802 the 115 802 sea, 117 802 under 119 802 certain 121 802 circumstances, 123 802 seals 125 802 have 127 802 more 129 802 than 131 802 once 133 802 been 135 802 mistaken 137 802 for 139 802 men. 141 802 But 143 802 the 145 802 bodings 147 802 of 149 802 the 151 802 crew 153 802 were 155 802 destined 157 802 to 159 802 receive 161 802 a 163 802 most 165 802 plausible 167 802 confirmation 169 802 in 171 802 the 173 802 fate 175 802 of 177 802 one 179 802 of 181 802 their 183 802 number 185 802 that 187 802 morning. 189 802 At 191 802 sun-rise 193 802 this 195 802 man 197 802 went 199 802 from 201 802 his 203 802 hammock 205 802 to 207 802 his 209 802 mast-head 211 802 at 213 802 the 215 802 fore; 217 802 and 219 802 whether 221 802 it 223 802 was 225 802 that 227 802 he 229 802 was 231 802 not 233 802 yet 235 802 half 237 802 waked 239 802 from 241 802 his 243 802 sleep 245 802 (for 247 802 sailors 249 802 sometimes 251 802 go 253 802 aloft 255 802 in 257 802 a 259 802 transition 261 802 state), 263 802 whether 265 802 it 267 802 was 269 802 thus 271 802 with 273 802 the 275 802 man, 277 802 there 279 802 is 281 802 now 283 802 no 285 802 telling; 287 802 but, 289 802 be 291 802 that 293 802 as 295 802 it 297 802 may, 299 802 he 301 802 had 303 802 not 305 802 been 307 802 long 309 802 at 311 802 his 313 802 perch, 315 802 when 317 802 a 319 802 cry 321 802 was 323 802 heard--a 325 802 cry 327 802 and 329 802 a 331 802 rushing--and 333 802 looking 335 802 up, 337 802 they 339 802 saw 341 802 a 343 802 falling 345 802 phantom 347 802 in 349 802 the 351 802 air; 353 802 and 355 802 looking 357 802 down, 359 802 a 361 802 little 363 802 tossed 365 802 heap 367 802 of 369 802 white 371 802 bubbles 373 802 in 375 802 the 377 802 blue 379 802 of 381 802 the 383 802 sea. 385 802 The 387 802 life-buoy--a 389 802 long 391 802 slender 393 802 cask--was 395 802 dropped 397 802 from 399 802 the 403 802 stern, 405 802 where 407 802 it 409 802 always 411 802 hung 413 802 obedient 415 802 to 417 802 a 419 802 cunning 421 802 spring; 423 802 but 425 802 no 427 802 hand 429 802 rose 431 802 to 433 802 seize 435 802 it, 437 802 and 439 802 the 441 802 sun 443 802 having 445 802 long 447 802 beat 449 802 upon 451 802 this 453 802 cask 455 802 it 457 802 had 459 802 shrunken, 461 802 so 463 802 that 465 802 it 467 802 slowly 469 802 filled, 471 802 and 473 802 that 475 802 parched 477 802 wood 479 802 also 481 802 filled 483 802 at 485 802 its 487 802 every 489 802 pore; 491 802 and 493 802 the 495 802 studded 497 802 iron-bound 499 802 cask 501 802 followed 503 802 the 505 802 sailor 507 802 to 509 802 the 511 802 bottom, 513 802 as 515 802 if 517 802 to 519 802 yield 521 802 him 523 802 his 525 802 pillow, 527 802 though 529 802 in 531 802 sooth 533 802 but 535 802 a 537 802 hard 539 802 one. 541 802 And 543 802 thus 545 802 the 547 802 first 549 802 man 551 802 of 553 802 the 555 802 Pequod 557 802 that 559 802 mounted 561 802 the 563 802 mast 565 802 to 567 802 look 569 802 out 571 802 for 573 802 the 575 802 White 577 802 Whale, 579 802 on 581 802 the 583 802 White 585 802 Whale's 587 802 own 589 802 peculiar 591 802 ground; 593 802 that 595 802 man 597 802 was 599 802 swallowed 601 802 up 603 802 in 605 802 the 607 802 deep. 609 802 But 611 802 few, 613 802 perhaps, 615 802 thought 617 802 of 619 802 that 621 802 at 623 802 the 625 802 time. 627 802 Indeed, 629 802 in 631 802 some 633 802 sort, 635 802 they 637 802 were 639 802 not 641 802 grieved 643 802 at 645 802 this 647 802 event, 649 802 at 651 802 least 653 802 as 655 802 a 657 802 portent; 659 802 for 661 802 they 663 802 regarded 665 802 it, 667 802 not 669 802 as 671 802 a 673 802 foreshadowing 675 802 of 677 802 evil 679 802 in 681 802 the 683 802 future, 685 802 but 687 802 as 689 802 the 691 802 fulfilment 693 802 of 695 802 an 697 802 evil 699 802 already 701 802 presaged. 703 802 They 705 802 declared 707 802 that 709 802 now 711 802 they 713 802 knew 715 802 the 717 802 reason 719 802 of 721 802 those 723 802 wild 725 802 shrieks 727 802 they 729 802 had 731 802 heard 733 802 the 735 802 night 737 802 before. 739 802 But 741 802 again 743 802 the 745 802 old 747 802 Manxman 749 802 said 751 802 nay. 753 802 The 755 802 lost 757 802 life-buoy 759 802 was 761 802 now 763 802 to 765 802 be 767 802 replaced; 769 802 Starbuck 771 802 was 773 802 directed 775 802 to 777 802 see 779 802 to 781 802 it; 783 802 but 785 802 as 787 802 no 789 802 cask 791 802 of 793 802 sufficient 795 802 lightness 797 802 could 799 802 be 801 802 found, 1 803 and 2 803 as 3 803 in 4 803 the 5 803 feverish 6 803 eagerness 7 803 of 8 803 what 9 803 seemed 10 803 the 12 803 approaching 13 803 crisis 14 803 of 15 803 the 16 803 voyage, 17 803 all 18 803 hands 19 803 were 20 803 impatient 21 803 of 23 803 any 24 803 toil 25 803 but 26 803 what 27 803 was 28 803 directly 29 803 connected 30 803 with 31 803 its 32 803 final 34 803 end, 35 803 whatever 36 803 that 37 803 might 38 803 prove 39 803 to 40 803 be; 41 803 therefore, 42 803 they 43 803 were 45 803 going 46 803 to 47 803 leave 48 803 the 49 803 ship's 50 803 stern 51 803 unprovided 52 803 with 53 803 a 54 803 buoy, 56 803 when 57 803 by 58 803 certain 59 803 strange 60 803 signs 61 803 and 62 803 inuendoes 63 803 Queequeg 64 803 hinted 65 803 a 67 803 hint 68 803 concerning 69 803 his 70 803 coffin. 71 803 "A 72 803 life-buoy 74 803 of 75 803 a 76 803 coffin!" 78 803 cried 79 803 Starbuck, 80 803 starting. 81 803 "Rather 82 803 queer, 83 803 that, 84 803 I 85 803 should 86 803 say," 87 803 said 89 803 Stubb. 90 803 "It 91 803 will 92 803 make 93 803 a 94 803 good 95 803 enough 96 803 one," 97 803 said 98 803 Flask, 100 803 "the 101 803 carpenter 102 803 here 103 803 can 104 803 arrange 105 803 it 106 803 easily." 107 803 "Bring 108 803 it 109 803 up; 111 803 there's 112 803 nothing 113 803 else 114 803 for 115 803 it," 116 803 said 117 803 Starbuck, 118 803 after 119 803 a 120 803 melancholy 122 803 pause. 123 803 "Rig 124 803 it, 125 803 carpenter; 126 803 do 127 803 not 128 803 look 129 803 at 130 803 me 131 803 so--the 133 803 coffin, 134 803 I 135 803 mean. 136 803 Dost 137 803 thou 138 803 hear 139 803 me? 140 803 Rig 141 803 it." 142 803 "And 144 803 shall 145 803 I 147 803 nail 148 803 down 149 803 the 150 803 lid, 151 803 sir?" 152 803 moving 153 803 his 155 803 hand 156 803 as 157 803 with 158 803 a 159 803 hammer. 160 803 "Aye." 161 803 "And 162 803 shall 163 803 I 164 803 caulk 166 803 the 167 803 seams, 168 803 sir?" 169 803 moving 170 803 his 171 803 hand 172 803 as 173 803 with 174 803 a 175 803 caulking-iron. 177 803 "Aye." 178 803 "And 179 803 shall 180 803 I 181 803 then 182 803 pay 183 803 over 184 803 the 185 803 same 186 803 with 188 803 pitch, 189 803 sir?" 190 803 moving 191 803 his 192 803 hand 193 803 as 194 803 with 195 803 a 196 803 pitch-pot. 197 803 "Away! 199 803 what 200 803 possesses 201 803 thee 202 803 to 203 803 this? 204 803 Make 205 803 a 206 803 life-buoy 207 803 of 208 803 the 210 803 coffin, 211 803 and 212 803 no 213 803 more.--Mr. 214 803 Stubb, 215 803 Mr. 216 803 Flask, 217 803

side, 472 805 the 473 805 theoretic 474 805 bright 477 805 one, 478 805 seems 479 805 but 481 805 uncertain 482 805 twilight 484 805 to 486 805 me. 487 805 Will 488 805 ye 489 805 never 491 805 have 492 805 done, 493 805 Carpenter, 494 805 with 496 805 that 498 805 accursed 499 805 sound? 501 805 I 502 805 go 503 805 below; 507 805 let 508 805 me 509 805 not 512 805 see 513 805 that 514 805 thing 516 805 here 517 805 when 519 805 I 521 805 return 522 805 again. 523 805 Now, 524 805 then, 526 805 Pip, 527 805 we'll 528 805 talk 531 805 this 533 805 over; 534 805 I 536 805 do 537 805 suck 538 805 most 541 805 wondrous 542 805 philosophies 543 805 from 544 805 thee! 547 805 Some 548 805 unknown 549 805 conduits 551 805 from 554 805 the 556 805 unknown 557 805 worlds 558 805 must 559 805 empty 561 805 into 562 805 thee!" 563 805 CHAPTER 564 805 128 566 805 The 568 805 Pequod 569 805 Meets 571 805 The 572 805 Rachel. 573 805 Next 576 805 day, 577 805 a 578 805 large 579 805 ship, 582 805 the 583 805 Rachel, 584 805 was 586 805 descried, 587 805 bearing 589 805 directly 591 805 down 592 805 upon 593 805 the 594 805 Pequod, 596 805 all 597 805 her 599 805 spars 601 805 thickly 603 805 clustering 604 805 with 606 805 men. 607 805 At 608 805 the 611 805 time 612 805 the 613 805 Pequod 614 805 was 617 805 making 618 805 good 619 805 speed 622 805 through 624 805 the 626 805 water; 627 805 but 628 805 as 629 805 the 631 805 broad-winged 632 805 windward 633 805 stranger 634 805 shot 636 805 nigh 638 805 to 639 805 her, 641 805 the 642 805 boastful 643 805 sails 646 805 all 647 805 fell 648 805 together 649 805 as 652 805 blank 653 805 bladders 654 805 that 656 805 are 657 805 burst, 659 805 and 661 805 all 662 805 life 663 805 fled 664 805 from 666 805 the 668 805 smitten 669 805 hull. 671 805 "Bad 673 805 news; 674 805 she 676 805 brings 677 805 bad 678 805 news," 681 805 muttered 682 805 the 683 805 old 684 805 Manxman. 687 805 But 688 805 ere 689 805 her 691 805 commander, 692 805 who, 694 805 with 696 805 trumpet 697 805 to 698 805 mouth, 699 805 stood 701 805 up 702 805 in 703 805 his 704 805 boat; 706 805 ere 708 805 he 709 805 could 711 805 hopefully 712 805 hail, 716 805 Ahab's 717 805 voice 718 805 was 719 805 heard. 722 805 "Hast 723 805 seen 724 805 the 726 805 White 727 805 Whale?" 729 805 "Aye, 731 805 yesterday. 732 805 Have 733 805 ye 734 805 seen 737 805 a 738 805 whale-boat 739 805 adrift?" 741 805 Throttling 743 805 his 744 805 joy, 746 805 Ahab 747 805 negatively 748 805 answered 751 805 this 752 805 unexpected 753 805 question; 754 805 and 757 805 would 758 805 then 761 805 have 762 805 fain 764 805 boarded 766 805 the 767 805 stranger, 768 805 when 769 805 the 771 805 stranger 772 805 captain 773 805 himself, 774 805 having 776 805 stopped 778 805 his 779 805 vessel's 781 805 way, 783 805 was 786 805 seen 787 805 descending 788 805 her 789 805 side. 792 805 A 793 805 few 794 805 keen 796 805 pulls, 797 805 and 799 805 his 801 805 boat-hook 802 805 soon 803 805 clinched 804 805 the 1 806 Pequod's 3 806 main-chains, 5 806 and 7 806 he 9 806 sprang 11 806 to 15 806 the 17 806 deck. 19 806 Immediately 21 806 he 23 806 was 25 806 recognised 27 806 by 29 806 Ahab 33 806 for 35 806 a 37 806 Nantucketer 41 806 he 43 806 knew. 45 806 But 47 806 no 49 806 formal 51 806 salutation 53 806 was 55 806 exchanged. 57 806 "Where 59 806 was 61 806 he?--not 63 806 killed!--not 67 806 killed!" 69 806 cried 71 806 Ahab, 73 806 closely 75 806 advancing. 77 806 "How 79 806 was 81 806 it?" 83 806 It 85 806 seemed 87 806 that 89 806 somewhat 95 806 late 97 806 on 99 806 the 101 806 afternoon 103 806 of 105 806 the 107 806 day 109 806 previous, 111 806 while 113 806 three 115 806 of 119 806 the 121 806 stranger's 123 806 boats 125 806 were 127 806 engaged 129 806 with 131 806 a 133 806 shoal 135 806 of 137 806 whales, 139 806 which 141 806 had 145 806 led 147 806 them 149 806 some 151 806 four 153 806 or 157 806 five 159 806 miles 161 806 from 163 806 the 165 806 ship; 167 806 and 171 806 while 173 806 they 175 806 were 177 806 yet 179 806 in 181 806 swift 183 806 chase 185 806 to 187 806 windward, 189 806 the 191 806 white 193 806 hump 197 806 and 199 806 head 201 806 of 203 806 Moby 205 806 Dick 207 806 had 209 806 suddenly 211 806 loomed 213 806 up 215 806 out 219 806 of 223 806 the 225 806 water, 227 806 not 229 806 very 231 806 far 233 806 to 235 806 leeward; 237 806 whereupon, 239 806 the 241 806 fourth 243 806 rigged 245 806 boat--a 249 806 reserved 251 806 one--had 253 806 been 255 806 instantly 257 806 lowered 259 806 in 261 806 chase. 263 806 After 265 806 a 267 806 keen 269 806 sail 271 806 before 275 806 the 277 806 wind, 281 806 this 283 806 fourth 285 806 boat--the 287 806 swiftest 289 806 keeled 291 806 of 293 806 all--seemed 295 806 to 297 806 have 301 806 succeeded 303 806 in 305 806 fastening--at 307 806 least, 309 806 as 311 806 well 313 806 as 315 806 the 317 806 man 319 806 at 321 806 the 323 806 mast-head 327 806 could 329 806 tell 331 806 anything 333 806 about 335 806 it. 337 806 In 339 806 the 343 806 distance 345 806 he 347 806 saw 349 806 the 353 806 diminished 355 806 dotted 357 806 boat; 359 806 and 361 806 then 363 806 a 365 806 swift 367 806 gleam 369 806 of 371 806 bubbling 373 806 white 375 806 water; 379 806 and 381 806 after 383 806 that 385 806 nothing 387 806 more; 389 806 whence 391 806 it 393 806 was 395 806 concluded 397 806 that 399 806 the 401 806 stricken 405 806 whale 407 806 must 409 806 have 411 806 indefinitely 413 806 run 415 806 away 417 806 with 419 806 his 421 806 pursuers, 423 806 as 425 806 often 427 806 happens. 431 806 There 433 806 was 435 806 some 437 806 apprehension, 439 806 but 441 806 no 443 806 positive 445 806 alarm, 447 806 as 449 806 yet. 451 806 The 453 806 recall 457 806 signals 459 806 were 461 806 placed 463 806 in 467 806 the 469 806 rigging; 471 806 darkness 473 806 came 475 806 on; 477 806 and 479 806 forced 483 806 to 485 806 pick 487 806 up 489 806 her 491 806 three 493 806 far 495 806 to 497 806 windward 499 806 boats--ere 501 806 going 503 806 in 505 806 quest 509 806 of 511 806 the 513 806 fourth 515 806 one 517 806 in 519 806 the 521 806 precisely 523 806 opposite 525 806 direction--the 529 806 ship 531 806 had 535 806 not 537 806 only 539 806 been 541 806 necessitated 543 806 to 545 806 leave 547 806 that 549 806 boat 551 806 to 553 806 its 555 806 fate 557 806 till 561 806 near 563 806 midnight, 565 806 but, 567 806 for 569 806 the 571 806 time, 573 806 to 575 806 increase 577 806 her 579 806 distance 581 806 from 583 806 it. 587 806 But 591 806 the 593 806 rest 595 806 of 597 806 her 599 806 crew 601 806 being 603 806 at 605 806 last 607 806 safe 609 806 aboard, 613 806 she 615 806 crowded 617 806 all 619 806 sail--stunsail 621 806 on 623 806 stunsail--after 625 806 the 627 806 missing 629 806 boat; 631 806 kindling 633 806 a 635 806 fire 639 806 in 641 806 her 643 806 try-pots 645 806 for 647 806 a 649 806 beacon; 653 806 and 655 806 every 657 806 other 659 806 man 661 806 aloft 665 806 on 667 806 the 669 806 look-out. 671 806 But 673 806 though 675 806 when 677 806 she 679 806 had 681 806 thus 683 806 sailed 685 806 a 687 806 sufficient 691 806 distance 693 806 to 695 806 gain 697 806 the 699 806 presumed 701 806 place 703 806 of 705 806 the 707 806 absent 709 806 ones 711 806 when 717 806 last 719 806 seen; 721 806 though 723 806 she 725 806 then 727 806 paused 729 806 to 731 806 lower 733 806 her 735 806 spare 737 806 boats 739 806 to 743 806 pull 745 806 all 747 806 around 749 806 her; 751 806 and 753 806 not 755 806 finding 757 806 anything, 759 806 had 761 806 again 763 806 dashed 765 806 on; 769 806 again 771 806 paused, 773 806 and 777 806 lowered 779 806 her 781 806 boats; 783 806 and 785 806 though 787 806 she 789 806 had 791 806 thus 795 806 continued 797 806 doing 799 806 till 801 806 daylight; 803 806 yet 805 806 not 1 807 the 2 807 least 4 807 glimpse 5 807 of 7 807 the 8 807 missing 10 807 keel 11 807 had 13 807 been 14 807 seen. 16 807 The 17 807 story 19 807 told, 20 807 the 22 807 stranger 23 807 Captain 25 807 immediately 26 807 went 28 807 on 29 807 to 31 807 reveal 32 807 his 34 807 object 35 807 in 37 807 boarding 38 807 the 40 807 Pequod. 41 807 He 43 807 desired 44 807 that 46 807 ship 47 807 to 49 807 unite 50 807 with 52 807 his 53 807 own 55 807 in 56 807 the 58 807 search; 59 807 by 61 807 sailing 62 807 over 64 807 the 65 807 sea 67 807 some 68 807 four 70 807 or 71 807 five 73 807 miles 74 807 apart, 76 807 on 77 807 parallel 79 807 lines, 80 807 and 82 807 so 83 807 sweeping 85 807 a 86 807 double 88 807 horizon, 89 807 as 91 807 it 92 807 were. 94 807 "I 95 807 will 97 807 wager 98 807 something 100 807 now," 101 807 whispered 103 807 Stubb 104 807 to 106 807 Flask, 107 807 "that 109 807 some 110 807 one 112 807 in 113 807 that 115 807 missing 116 807 boat 118 807 wore 119 807 off 121 807 that 122 807 Captain's 124 807 best 125 807 coat; 127 807 mayhap, 128 807 his 130 807 watch--he's 131 807 so 133 807 cursed 134 807 anxious 136 807 to 137 807 get 139 807 it 140 807 back. 142 807 Who 143 807 ever 145 807 heard 146 807 of 148 807 two 149 807 pious 151 807 whale-ships 152 807 cruising 154 807 after 155 807 one 157 807 missing 158 807 whale-boat 160 807 in 161 807 the 163 807 height 164 807 of 166 807 the 167 807 whaling 169 807 season? 170 807 See, 172 807 Flask, 173 807 only 175 807 see 176 807 how 178 807 pale 179 807 he 181 807 looks--pale 182 807 in 184 807 the 185 807 very 187 807 buttons 188 807 of 190 807 his 191 807 eyes--look--it 193 807 wasn't 194 807 the 196 807 coat--it 197 807 must 199 807 have 200 807 been 202 807 the--" 203 807 "My 205 807 boy, 206 807 my 208 807 own 209 807 boy 211 807 is 212 807 among 214 807 them. 215 807 For 217 807 God's 218 807 sake--I 220 807 beg, 221 807 I 223 807 conjure"--here 224 807 exclaimed 226 807 the 227 807 stranger 229 807 Captain 230 807 to 232 807 Ahab, 233 807 who 235 807 thus 236 807 far 238 807 had 239 807 but 241 807 icily 242 807 received 244 807 his 245 807 petition. 247 807 "For 248 807 eight-and-forty 250 807 hours 251 807 let 253 807 me 254 807 charter 256 807 your 257 807 ship--I 259 807 will 260 807 gladly 262 807 pay 263 807 for 265 807 it, 266 807 and 268 807 roundly 271 807 pay 272 807 for 274 807 it--if 275 807 there 277 807 be 278 807 no 280 807 other 281 807 way--for 283 807 eight-and-forty 284 807 hours 286 807 only--only 287 807 that--you 289 807 must, 290 807 oh, 292 807 you 293 807 must, 295 807 and 296 807 you 298 807 SHALL 299 807 do 301 807 this 302 807 thing." 304 807 "His 305 807 son!" 307 807 cried 308 807 Stubb, 310 807 "oh, 311 807 it's 313 807 his 314 807 son 316 807 he's 317 807 lost! 319 807 I 320 807 take 322 807 back 323 807 the 325 807 coat 326 807 and 328 807 watch--what 329 807 says 331 807 Ahab? 332 807 We 334 807 must 335 807 save 337 807 that 338 807 boy." 340 807 "He's 341 807 drowned 343 807 with 344 807 the 346 807 rest 347 807 on 349 807 'em, 350 807 last 352 807 night," 353 807 said 355 807 the 356 807 old 358 807 Manx 359 807 sailor 361 807 standing 362 807 behind 364 807 them; 365 807 "I 367 807 heard; 368 807 all 370 807 of 371 807 ye 373 807 heard 374 807 their 376 807 spirits." 377 807 Now, 379 807 as 380 807 it 382 807 shortly 383 807 turned 385 807 out, 386 807 what 388 807 made 389 807 this 391 807 incident 392 807 of 394 807 the 395 807 Rachel's 397 807 the 398 807 more 400 807 melancholy, 401 807 was 403 807 the 404 807 circumstance, 406 807 that 407 807 not 409 807 only 410 807 was 412 807 one 413 807 of 415 807 the 416 807 Captain's 418 807 sons 419 807 among 421 807 the 422 807 number 424 807 of 425 807 the 427 807 missing 428 807 boat's 430 807 crew; 431 807 but 433 807 among 434 807 the 436 807 number 437 807 of 439 807 the 440 807 other 442 807 boat's 443 807 crews, 445 807 at 446 807 the 448 807 same 449 807 time, 451 807 but 452 807 on 454 807 the 455 807 other 457 807 hand, 458 807 separated 460 807 from 461 807 the 463 807 ship 464 807 during 466 807 the 467 807 dark 469 807 vicissitudes 470 807 of 472 807 the 473 807 chase, 475 807 there 476 807 had 478 807 been 479 807 still 481 807 another 482 807 son; 484 807 as 485 807 that 487 807 for 488 807 a 490 807 time, 491 807 the 493 807 wretched 494 807 father 496 807 was 497 807 plunged 499 807 to 500 807 the 502 807 bottom 503 807 of 505 807 the 506 807 cruellest 508 807 perplexity; 509 807 which 511 807 was 512 807 only 514 807 solved 515 807 for 517 807 him 518 807 by 520 807 his 521 807 chief 523 807 mate's 524 807 instinctively 526 807 adopting 527 807 the 529 807 ordinary 530 807 procedure 532 807 of 533 807 a 535 807 whale-ship 536 807 in 539 807 such 541 807 emergencies, 542 807 that 544 807 is, 545 807 when 547 807 placed 548 807 between 550 807 jeopardized 551 807 but 553 807 divided 554 807 boats, 556 807 always 557 807 to 559 807 pick 560 807 up 562 807 the 563 807 majority 565 807 first. 566 807 But 568 807 the 569 807 captain, 571 807 for 572 807 some 574 807 unknown 575 807 constitutional 577 807 reason, 578 807 had 580 807 refrained 581 807 from 583 807 mentioning 584 807 all 586 807 this, 587 807 and 589 807 not 590 807 till 592 807 forced 593 807 to 595 807 it 596 807 by 598 807 Ahab's 599 807 iciness 601 807 did 602 807 he 604 807 allude 605 807 to 607 807 his 608 807 one 610 807 yet 611 807 missing 613 807 boy; 614 807 a 616 807 little 617 807 lad, 619 807 but 620 807 twelve 622 807 years 623 807 old, 625 807 whose 626 807 father 628 807 with 629 807 the 631 807 earnest 632 807 but 634 807 unmisgiving 635 807 hardihood 637 807 of 638 807 a 640 807 Nantucketer's 641 807 paternal 643 807 love, 644 807 had 646 807 thus 647 807 early 649 807 sought 650 807 to 652 807 initiate 653 807 him 655 807 in 656 807 the 658 807 perils 659 807 and 661 807 wonders 662 807 of 664 807 a 665 807 vocation 667 807 almost 668 807 immemorially 670 807 the 671 807 destiny 673 807 of 674 807 all 676 807 his 677 807 race. 679 807 Nor 680 807 does 682 807 it 683 807 unfrequently 685 807 occur, 686 807 that 688 807 Nantucket 689 807 captains 691 807 will 692 807 send 694 807 a 695 807 son 697 807 of 698 807 such 700 807 tender 701 807 age 703 807 away 704 807 from 706 807 them, 707 807 for 709 807 a 710 807 protracted 712 807 three 713 807 or 715 807 four 716 807 years' 718 807 voyage 719 807 in 721 807 some 722 807 other 724 807 ship 725 807 than 727 807 their 728 807 own; 730 807 so 731 807 that 733 807 their 734 807 first 736 807 knowledge 737 807 of 739 807 a 740 807 whaleman's 742 807 career 743 807 shall 745 807 be 746 807 unenervated 748 807 by 749 807 any 751 807 chance 752 807 display 754 807 of 755 807 a 757 807 father's 758 807 natural 760 807 but 761 807 untimely 763 807 partiality, 764 807 or 766 807 undue 767 807 apprehensiveness 769 807 and 770 807 concern. 772 807 Meantime, 773 807 now 775 807 the 776 807 stranger 778 807 was 779 807 still 781 807 beseeching 782 807 his 784 807 poor 785 807 boon 787 807 of 788 807 Ahab; 790 807 and 791 807 Ahab 793 807 still 794 807 stood 796 807 like 797 807 an 799 807 anvil, 800 807 receiving 802 807 every 803 807 shock, 805 807 but 806 807 without 1 808 the 3 808 least 5 808 quivering 7 808 of 9 808 his 11 808 own. 13 808 "I 15 808 will 17 808 not 19 808 go," 21 808 said 23 808 the 25 808 stranger, 27 808 "till 29 808 you 31 808 say 33 808 aye 35 808 to 37 808 me. 39 808 Do 41 808 to 43 808 me 45 808 as 47 808 you 49 808 would 51 808 have 53 808 me 55 808 do 57 808 to 59 808 you 61 808 in 63 808 the 65 808 like 67 808 case. 69 808 For 71 808 YOU 73 808 too 75 808 have 77 808 a 79 808 boy, 81 808 Captain 83 808 Ahab--though 85 808 but 87 808 a 89 808 child, 91 808 and 93 808 nestling 95 808 safely 97 808 at 99 808 home 103 808 now--a 105 808 child 107 808 of 109 808 your 111 808 old 113 808 age 115 808 too--Yes, 117 808 yes, 119 808 you 121 808 relent; 123 808 I 125 808 see 127 808 it--run, 129 808 run, 131 808 men, 133 808 now, 135 808 and 137 808 stand 139 808 by 141 808 to 143 808 square 145 808 in 147 808 the 149 808 yards." 151 808 "Avast," 153 808 cried 155 808 Ahab--"touch 157 808 not 159 808 a 161 808 rope-yarn"; 163 808 then 165 808 in 167 808 a 169 808 voice 171 808 that 173 808 prolongingly 175 808 moulded 177 808 every 179 808 word--"Captain 181 808 Gardiner, 183 808 I 185 808 will 187 808 not 189 808 do 191 808 it. 193 808 Even 195 808 now 197 808 I 199 808 lose 201 808 time. 203 808 Good-bye, 205 808 good-bye. 207 808 God 209 808 bless 211 808 ye, 213 808 man, 215 808 and 217 808 may 219 808 I 221 808 forgive 223 808 myself, 225 808 but 227 808 I 229 808 must 231 808 go. 233 808 Mr. 235 808 Starbuck, 237 808 look 239 808 at 241 808 the 243 808 binnacle 245 808 watch, 247 808 and 249 808 in 251 808 three 253 808 minutes 255 808 from 257 808 this 259 808 present 261 808 instant 263 808 warn 265 808 off 267 808 all 269 808 strangers: 271 808 then 273 808 brace 275 808 forward 277 808 again, 279 808 and 281 808 let 283 808 the 285 808 ship 287 808 sail 289 808 as 291 808 before." 293 808 Hurriedly 295 808 turning, 297 808 with 299 808 averted 301 808 face, 305 808 he 307 808 descended 309 808 into 311 808 his 313 808 cabin, 315 808 leaving 317 808 the 319 808 strange 321 808 captain 323 808 transfixed 325 808 at 327 808 this 329 808 unconditional 331 808 and 333 808 utter 335 808 rejection 337 808 of 339 808 his 341 808 so 343 808 earnest 345 808 suit. 347 808 But 349 808 starting 351 808 from 353 808 his 355 808 enchantment, 357 808 Gardiner 359 808 silently 361 808 hurried 363 808 to 365 808 the 367 808 side; 369 808 more 371 808 fell 373 808 than 375 808 stepped 377 808 into 379 808 his 381 808 boat, 383 808 and 385 808 returned 387 808 to 389 808 his 391 808 ship. 393 808 Soon 395 808 the 397 808 two 399 808 ships 401 808 diverged 403 808 their 405 808 wakes; 407 808 and 409 808 long 411 808 as 413 808 the 415 808 strange 417 808 vessel 419 808 was 421 808 in 423 808 view, 425 808 she 427 808 was 429 808 seen 431 808 to 433 808 yaw 435 808 hither 437 808 and 439 808 thither 441 808 at 443 808 every 445 808 dark 447 808 spot, 449 808 however 451 808 small, 453 808 on 455 808 the 457 808 sea. 459 808 This 461 808 way 463 808 and 465 808 that 467 808 her 469 808 yards 471 808 were 473 808 swung 475 808 round; 477 808 starboard 479 808 and 481 808 larboard, 483 808 she 485 808 continued 487 808 to 489 808 tack; 491 808 now 493 808 she 495 808 beat 497 808 against 499 808 a 501 808 head 503 808 sea; 507 808 and 509 808 again 511 808 it 513 808 pushed 515 808 her 517 808 before 519 808 it; 521 808 while 523 808 all 525 808 the 527 808 while, 529 808 her 531 808 masts 533 808 and 535 808 yards 537 808 were 539 808 thickly 541 808 clustered 543 808 with 545 808 men, 547 808 as 549 808 three 551 808 tall 553 808 cherry 555 808 trees, 557 808 when 559 808 the 561 808 boys 563 808 are 565 808 cherrying 567 808 among 569 808 the 571 808 boughs. 573 808 But 575 808 by 577 808 her 579 808 still 581 808 halting 583 808 course 585 808 and 587 808 winding, 589 808 woeful 591 808 way, 593 808 you 595 808 plainly 597 808 saw 599 808 that 601 808 this 603 808 ship 605 808 that 607 808 so 609 808 wept 611 808 with 613 808 spray, 615 808 still 617 808 remained 619 808 without 621 808 comfort. 623 808 She 625 808 was 627 808 Rachel, 629 808 weeping 631 808 for 633 808 her 635 808 children, 637 808 because 639 808 they 641 808 were 643 808 not. 645 808 CHAPTER 647 808 129 649 808 The 651 808 Cabin. 653 808 (AHAB 655 808 MOVING 657 808 TO 659 808 GO 661 808 ON 663 808 DECK; 665 808 PIP 667 808 CATCHES 669 808 HIM 671 808 BY 673 808 THE 675 808 HAND 677 808 TO 679 808 FOLLOW.) 681 808 Lad, 683 808 lad, 685 808 I 687 808 tell 689 808 thee 691 808 thou 693 808 must 695 808 not 697 808 follow 699 808 Ahab 701 808 now. 703 808 The 705 808 hour 709 808 is 711 808 coming 713 808 when 715 808 Ahab 717 808 would 719 808 not 721 808 scare 723 808 thee 725 808 from 727 808 him, 729 808 yet 731 808 would 733 808 not 735 808 have 737 808 thee 739 808 by 741 808 him. 743 808 There 745 808 is 747 808 that 749 808 in 751 808 thee, 753 808 poor 755 808 lad, 757 808 which 759 808 I 761 808 feel

809 join 493 809 me." 494 809 CHAPTER 495 809 130 496 809 The 497 809 Hat. 498 809 And 499 809 now 500 809 that 501 809 at 502 809 the 503 809 proper 504 809 time 505 809 and 506 809 place, 507 809 after 508 809 so 509 809 long 510 809 and 511 809 wide 512 809 a 513 809 preliminary 514 809 cruise, 515 809 Ahab,--all 516 809 other 517 809 whaling 518 809 waters 519 809 swept--seemed 520 809 to 521 809 have 522 809 chased 523 809 his 524 809 foe 525 809 into 526 809 an 527 809 ocean-fold, 528 809 to 529 809 slay 530 809 him 531 809 the 532 809 more 533 809 securely 534 809 there; 535 809 now, 536 809 that 537 809 he 538 809 found 539 809 himself 540 809 hard 541 809 by 542 809 the 543 809 very 544 809 latitude 545 809 and 546 809 longitude 547 809 where 548 809 his 549 809 tormenting 550 809 wound 551 809 had 552 809 been 553 809 inflicted; 554 809 now 555 809 that 556 809 a 557 809 vessel 558 809 had 559 809 been 560 809 spoken 561 809 which 562 809 on 563 809 the 564 809 very 565 809 day 566 809 preceding 567 809 had 568 809 actually 569 809 encountered 570 809 Moby 571 809 Dick;--and 572 809 now 573 809 that 574 809 all 575 809 his 576 809 successive 577 809 meetings 578 809 with 579 809 various 580 809 ships 581 809 contrastingly 582 809 concurred 583 809 to 584 809 show 585 809 the 586 809 demoniac 587 809 indifference 588 809 with 589 809 which 590 809 the 591 809 white 592 809 whale 593 809 tore 594 809 his 595 809 hunters, 596 809 whether 597 809 sinning 598 809 or 599 809 sinned 600 809 against; 601 809 now 602 809 it 603 809 was 604 809 that 605 809 there 606 809 lurked 607 809 a 608 809 something 609 809 in 610 809 the 611 809 old 612 809 man's 613 809 eyes, 614 809 which 615 809 it 616 809 was 617 809 hardly 618 809 sufferable 619 809 for 620 809 feeble 621 809 souls 622 809 to 623 809 see. 624 809 As 625 809 the 626 809 unsetting 627 809 polar 628 809 star, 629 809 which 630 809 through 631 809 the 632 809 livelong, 633 809 arctic, 634 809 six 635 809 months' 636 809 night 637 809 sustains 638 809 its 639 809 piercing, 640 809 steady, 641 809 central 642 809 gaze; 643 809 so 644 809 Ahab's 645 809 purpose 646 809 now 647 809 fixedly 648 809 gleamed 649 809 down 650 809 upon 651 809 the 652 809 constant 653 809 midnight 654 809 of 655 809 the 656 809 gloomy 657 809 crew. 658 809 It 659 809 domineered 660 809 above 661 809 them 662 809 so, 663 809 that 664 809 all 665 809 their 666 809 bodings, 667 809 doubts, 668 809 misgivings, 669 809 fears, 670 809 were 671 809 fain 672 809 to 673 809 hide 674 809 beneath 675 809 their 676 809 souls, 677 809 and 678 809 not 679 809 sprout 680 809 forth 681 809 a 682 809 single 683 809 spear 684 809 or 685 809 leaf. 686 809 In 687 809 this 688 809 foreshadowing 689 809 interval 690 809 too, 691 809 all 692 809 humor, 693 809 forced 694 809 or 695 809 natural, 696 809 vanished. 697 809 Stubb 698 809 no 699 809 more 700 809 strove 701 809 to 702 809 raise 703 809 a 704 809 smile; 705 809 Starbuck 706 809 no 707 809 more 708 809 strove 709 809 to 710 809 check 711 809 one. 712 809 Alike, 713 809 joy 714 809 and 715 809 sorrow, 716 809 hope 717 809 and 718 809 fear, 719 809 seemed 720 809 ground 721 809 to 722 809 finest 723 809 dust, 724 809 and 725 809 powdered, 726 809 for 727 809 the 728 809 time, 729 809 in 730 809 the 731 809 clamped 732 809 mortar 733 809 of 734 809 Ahab's 735 809 iron 736 809 soul. 737 809 Like 738 809 machines, 739 809 they 740 809 dumbly 741 809 moved 742 809 about 743 809 the 744 809 deck, 745 809 ever 746 809 conscious 747 809 that 748 809 the 749 809 old 750 809 man's 751 809 despot 752 809 eye 753 809 was 754 809 on 755 809 them. 756 809 But 757 809 did 758 809 you 759 809 deeply 760 809 scan 761 809 him 762 809 in 763 809 his 764 809 more 765 809 secret 766 809 confidential 767 809 hours; 768 809 when 769 809 he 770 809 thought 771 809 no 772 809 glance 773 809 but 774 809 one 775 809 was 776 809 on 777 809 him; 778 809 then 779 809 you 780 809 would 781 809 have 782 809 seen 783 809 that 784 809 even 785 809 as 786 809 Ahab's 787 809 eyes 788 809 so 789 809 awed 790 809 the 791 809 crew's, 792 809 the 793 809 inscrutable 794 809 Parsee's 795 809 glance 796 809 awed 797 809 his; 798 809 or 799 809 somehow, 800 809 at 801 809 least, 802 809 in 803 809 some 804 809 wild 805 809 way, 806 809 at 807 809 times 808 809 affected 1 810 it. 7 810 Such 11 810 an 13 810 added, 17 810 gliding 19 810 strangeness 23 810 began 29 810 to 31 810 invest 37 810 the 41 810 thin 43 810 Fedallah 47 810 now; 49 810 such 53 810 ceaseless 59 810 shudderings 61 810 shook 67 810 him; 71 810 that 73 810 the 77 810 men 79 810 looked 83 810 dubious 89 810 at 91 810 him; 97 810 half 101 810 uncertain, 103 810 as 107 810 it 109 810 seemed, 113 810 whether 119 810 indeed 121 810 he 127 810 were 131 810 a 133 810 mortal 137 810 substance, 139 810 or 143 810 else 149 810 a 151 810 tremulous 157 810 shadow 161 810 cast 163 810 upon 167 810 the 169 810 deck 173 810 by 179 810 some 181 810 unseen 187 810 being's 191 810 body. 193 810 And 197 810 that 199 810 shadow 203 810 was 209 810 always 211 810 hovering 217 810 there. 221 810 For 223 810 not 227 810 by 229 810 night, 233 810 even, 239 810 had 241 810 Fedallah 247 810 ever 251 810 certainly 253 810 been 257 810 known 259 810 to 263 810 slumber, 269 810 or 271 810 go 277 810 below. 281 810 He 283 810 would 287 810 stand 289 810 still 293 810 for 299 810 hours: 301 810 but 307 810 never 311 810 sat 313 810 or 317 810 leaned; 319 810 his 323 810 wan 329 810 but 331 810 wondrous 337 810 eyes 341 810 did 343 810 plainly 347 810 say--We 349 810 two 353 810 watchmen 359 810 never 361 810 rest. 367 810 Nor, 371 810 at 373 810 any 377 810 time, 379 810 by 383 810 night 389 810 or 391 810 day 397 810 could 401 810 the 403 810 mariners 407 810 now 409 810 step 413 810 upon 419 810 the 421 810 deck, 427 810 unless 431 810 Ahab 433 810 was 437 810 before 439 810 them; 443 810 either 449 810 standing 451 810 in 457 810 his 461 810 pivot-hole, 463 810 or 467 810 exactly 469 810 pacing 473 810 the 479 810 planks 481 810 between 487 810 two 491 810 undeviating 493 810 limits,--the 497 810 main-mast 499 810 and 503 810 the 509 810 mizen; 511 810 or 517 810 else 521 810 they 523 810 saw 527 810 him 529 810 standing 533 810 in 539 810 the 541 810 cabin-scuttle,--his 547 810 living 551 810 foot 553 810 advanced 557 810 upon 559 810 the 563 810 deck, 569 810 as 571 810 if 577 810 to 581 810 step; 583 810 his 587 810 hat 589 810 slouched 593 810 heavily 599 810 over 601 810 his 607 810 eyes; 611 810 so 613 810 that 617 810 however 619 810 motionless 623 810 he 629 810 stood, 631 810 however 637 810 the 641 810 days 643 810 and 647 810 nights 649 810 were 653 810 added 659 810 on, 661 810 that 667 810 he 671 810 had 673 810 not 677 810 swung 679 810 in 683 810 his 689 810 hammock; 691 810 yet 697 810 hidden 701 810 beneath 703 810 that 707 810 slouching 709 810 hat, 713 810 they 719 810 could 721 810 never 727 810 tell 731 810 unerringly 733 810 whether, 737 810 for 739 810 all 743 810 this, 749 810 his 751 810 eyes 757 810 were 761 810 really 763 810 closed 767 810 at 769 810 times; 773 810 or 779 810 whether 781 810 he 787 810 was 791 810 still 793 810 intently 797 810 scanning 799 810 them; 803 810 no 809 810 matter, 1 811 though 2 811 he 3 811 stood 4 811 so 5 811 in 6 811 the 7 811 scuttle 8 811 for 9 811 a 10 811 whole 11 811 hour 12 811 on 13 811 the 14 811 stretch, 15 811 and 16 811 the 17 811 unheeded 18 811 night-damp 19 811 gathered 20 811 in 21 811 beads 22 811 of 23 811 dew 24 811 upon 25 811 that 26 811 stone-carved 27 811 coat 28 811 and 29 811 hat. 30 811 The 31 811 clothes 32 811 that 33 811 the 34 811 night 35 811 had 36 811 wet, 37 811 the 38 811 next 39 811 day's 40 811 sunshine 41 811 dried 42 811 upon 43 811 him; 44 811 and 45 811 so, 46 811 day 47 811 after 48 811 day, 49 811 and 50 811 night 51 811 after 52 811 night; 53 811 he 54 811 went 55 811 no 56 811 more 57 811 beneath 58 811 the 59 811 planks; 60 811 whatever 61 811 he 62 811 wanted 63 811 from 64 811 the 65 811 cabin 66 811 that 67 811 thing 68 811 he 69 811 sent 70 811 for. 71 811 He 72 811 ate 73 811 in 74 811 the 75 811 same 76 811 open 77 811 air; 78 811 that 79 811 is, 80 811 his 81 811 two 82 811 only 83 811 meals,--breakfast 84 811 and 85 811 dinner: 86 811 supper 87 811 he 88 811 never 89 811 touched; 90 811 nor 91 811 reaped 92 811 his 93 811 beard; 94 811 which 95 811 darkly 96 811 grew 97 811 all 98 811 gnarled, 99 811 as 100 811 unearthed 101 811 roots 102 811 of 103 811 trees 104 811 blown 105 811 over, 106 811 which 107 811 still 108 811 grow 109 811 idly 110 811 on 111 811 at 112 811 naked 113 811 base, 114 811 though 115 811 perished 116 811 in 117 811 the 118 811 upper 119 811 verdure. 120 811 But 121 811 though 122 811 his 123 811 whole 124 811 life 125 811 was 126 811 now 127 811 become 128 811 one 129 811 watch 130 811 on 131 811 deck; 132 811 and 133 811 though 134 811 the 135 811 Parsee's 136 811 mystic 137 811 watch 138 811 was 139 811 without 140 811 intermission 141 811 as 142 811 his 143 811 own; 144 811 yet 145 811 these 146 811 two 147 811 never 148 811 seemed 149 811 to 150 811 speak--one 151 811 man 152 811 to 153 811 the 154 811 other--unless 155 811 at 156 811 long 157 811 intervals 158 811 some 159 811 passing 160 811 unmomentous 161 811 matter 162 811 made 163 811 it 164 811 necessary. 165 811 Though 166 811 such 167 811 a 168 811 potent 169 811 spell 170 811 seemed 171 811 secretly 172 811 to 173 811 join 174 811 the 175 811 twain; 176 811 openly, 177 811 and 178 811 to 179 811 the 180 811 awe-struck 181 811 crew, 182 811 they 183 811 seemed 184 811 pole-like 185 811 asunder. 186 811 If 187 811 by 188 811 day 189 811 they 190 811 chanced 191 811 to 192 811 speak 193 811 one 194 811 word; 195 811 by 196 811 night, 197 811 dumb 198 811 men 199 811 were 200 811 both, 201 811 so 202 811 far 203 811 as 204 811 concerned 205 811 the 206 811 slightest 207 811 verbal 208 811 interchange. 209 811 At 210 811 times, 211 811 for 212 811 longest 213 811 hours, 214 811 without 215 811 a 216 811 single 217 811 hail, 218 811 they 219 811 stood 220 811 far 221 811 parted 222 811 in 223 811 the 224 811 starlight; 225 811 Ahab 226 811 in 227 811 his 228 811 scuttle, 229 811 the 230 811 Parsee 231 811 by 232 811 the 233 811 mainmast; 234 811 but 235 811 still 236 811 fixedly 237 811 gazing 238 811 upon 239 811 each 240 811 other; 241 811 as 242 811 if 243 811 in 244 811 the 245 811 Parsee 246 811 Ahab 247 811 saw 248 811 his 249 811 forethrown 250 811 shadow, 251 811 in 252 811 Ahab 253 811 the 254 811 Parsee 255 811 his 256 811 abandoned 257 811 substance. 258 811 And 259 811 yet, 260 811 somehow, 261 811 did 262 811 Ahab--in 263 811 his 264 811 own 265 811 proper 266 811 self, 267 811 as 268 811 daily, 269 811 hourly, 270 811 and 271 811 every 272 811 instant, 273 811 commandingly 274 811 revealed 275 811 to 276 811 his 277 811 subordinates,--Ahab 278 811 seemed 279 811 an 280 811 independent 281 811 lord; 282 811 the 283 811 Parsee 284 811 but 285 811 his 286 811 slave. 287 811 Still 288 811 again 289 811 both 290 811 seemed 291 811 yoked 292 811 together, 293 811 and 294 811 an 295 811 unseen 296 811 tyrant 297 811 driving 298 811 them; 299 811 the 300 811 lean 301 811 shade 302 811 siding 303 811 the 304 811 solid 305 811 rib. 306 811 For 307 811 be 308 811 this 309 811 Parsee 310 811 what 311 811 he 312 811 may, 313 811 all 314 811 rib 315 811 and 316 811 keel 317 811 was 318 811 solid 319 811 Ahab. 320 811 At 321 811 the 322 811 first 323 811 faintest 324 811 glimmering 325 811 of 326 811 the 327 811 dawn, 328 811 his 329 811 iron 330 811 voice 331 811 was 332 811 heard 333 811 from 334 811 aft,--"Man 335 811 the 336 811 mast-heads!"--and 337 811 all 338 811 through 339 811 the 340 811 day, 341 811 till 342 811 after 343 811 sunset 344 811 and 345 811 after 346 811 twilight, 347 811 the 348 811 same 349 811 voice 350 811 every 351 811 hour, 352 811 at 353 811 the 354 811 striking 355 811 of 356 811 the 357 811 helmsman's 358 811 bell, 359 811 was 360 811 heard--"What 361 811 d'ye 362 811 see?--sharp! 363 811 sharp!" 364 811 But 365 811 when 366 811 three 367 811 or 368 811 four 369 811 days 370 811 had 371 811 slided 372 811 by, 373 811 after 374 811 meeting 375 811 the 376 811 children-seeking 377 811 Rachel; 378 811 and 379 811 no 380 811 spout 381 811 had 382 811 yet 383 811 been 384 811 seen; 385 811 the 386 811 monomaniac 387 811 old 388 811 man 389 811 seemed 390 811 distrustful 391 811 of 392 811 his 393 811 crew's 394 811 fidelity; 395 811 at 396 811 least, 397 811 of 398 811 nearly 399 811 all 400 811 except 401 811 the 402 811 Pagan 403 811 harpooneers; 404 811 he 405 811 seemed 406 811 to 407 811 doubt, 408 811 even, 409 811 whether 410 811 Stubb 411 811 and 412 811 Flask 413 811 might 414 811 not 415 811 willingly 416 811 overlook 417 811 the 418 811 sight 419 811 he 420 811 sought. 421 811 But 422 811 if 423 811 these 424 811 suspicions 425 811 were 426 811 really 427 811 his, 428 811 he 429 811 sagaciously 430 811 refrained 431 811 from 432 811 verbally 433 811 expressing 434 811 them, 435 811 however 436 811 his 437 811 actions 438 811 might 439 811 seem 440 811 to 441 811 hint 442 811 them. 443 811 "I 444 811 will 445 811 have 446 811 the 447 811 first 448 811 sight 449 811 of 450 811 the 451 811 whale 452 811 myself,"--he 453 811 said. 454 811 "Aye! 455 811 Ahab 456 811 must 457 811 have 458 811 the 459 811 doubloon! 460 811 and 461 811 with 462 811 his 463 811 own 464 811 hands 465 811 he 466 811 rigged 467 811 a 468 811 nest 469 811 of 470 811 basketed 471 811 bowlines; 472 811 and 473 811 sending 474 811 a 475 811 hand 476 811 aloft, 477 811 with 478 811 a 479 811 single 480 811 sheaved 481 811 block, 482 811 to 483 811 secure 484 811 to 485 811 the 486 811 main-mast 487 811 head, 488 811 he 489 811 received 490 811 the 491 811 two 492 811 ends 493 811 of 494 811 the 495 811 downward-reeved 496 811 rope; 497 811 and 498 811 attaching 499 811 one 500 811 to 501 811 his 502 811 basket 503 811 prepared 504 811 a 505 811 pin 506 811 for 507 811 the 508 811 other 509 811 end, 510 811 in 511 811 order 512 811 to 513 811 fasten 514 811 it 515 811 at 516 811 the 517 811 rail. 518 811 This 519 811 done, 520 811 with 521 811 that 522 811 end 523 811 yet 524 811 in 525 811 his 526 811 hand 527 811 and 528 811 standing 529 811 beside 530 811 the 531 811 pin, 532 811 he 533 811 looked 534 811 round 535 811 upon 536 811 his 537 811 crew, 538 811 sweeping 539 811 from 540 811 one 541 811 to 542 811 the 543 811 other; 544 811 pausing 545 811 his 546 811 glance 547 811 long 548 811 upon 549 811 Daggoo, 550 811 Queequeg, 551 811 Tashtego; 552 811 but 553 811 shunning 554 811 Fedallah; 555 811 and 556 811 then 557 811 settling 558 811 his 559 811 firm 560 811 relying 561 811 eye 562 811 upon 563 811 the 564 811 chief 565 811 mate, 566 811 said,--"Take 567 811 the 568 811 rope, 569 811 sir--I 570 811 give 571 811 it 572 811 into 573 811 thy 574 811 hands, 575 811 Starbuck." 576 811 Then 577 811 arranging 578 811 his 579 811 person 580 811 in 581 811 the 582 811 basket, 583 811 he 584 811 gave 585 811 the 586 811 word 587 811 for 588 811 them 589 811 to 590 811 hoist 591 811 him 592 811 to 593 811 his 594 811 perch, 595 811 Starbuck 596 811 being 597 811 the 598 811 one 599 811 who 600 811 secured 601 811 the 602 811 rope 603 811 at 604 811 last; 605 811 and 606 811 afterwards 607 811 stood 608 811 near 609 811 it. 610 811 And 611 811 thus, 612 811 with 613 811 one 614 811 hand 615 811 clinging 616 811 round 617 811 the 618 811 royal 619 811 mast, 620 811 Ahab 621 811 gazed 622 811 abroad 623 811 upon 624 811 the 625 811 sea 626 811 for 627 811 miles 628 811 and 629 811 miles,--ahead, 630 811 astern, 631 811 this 632 811 side, 633 811 and 634 811 that,--within 635 811 the 636 811 wide 637 811 expanded 638 811 circle 639 811 commanded 640 811 at 641 811 so 642 811 great 643 811 a 644 811 height. 645 811 When 646 811 in 647 811 working 648 811 with 649 811 his 650 811 hands 651 811 at 652 811 some 653 811 lofty 654 811 almost 655 811 isolated 656 811 place 657 811 in 658 811 the 659 811 rigging, 660 811 which 661 811 chances 662 811 to 663 811 afford 664 811 no 665 811 foothold, 666 811 the 667 811 sailor 668 811 at 669 811 sea 670 811 is 671 811 hoisted 672 811 up 673 811 to 674 811 that 675 811 spot, 676 811 and 677 811 sustained 678 811 there 679 811 by 680 811 the 681 811 rope; 682 811 under 683 811 these 684 811 circumstances, 685 811 its 686 811 fastened 687 811 end 688 811 on 689 811 deck 690 811 is 691 811 always 692 811 given 693 811 in 694 811 strict 695 811 charge 696 811 to 697 811 some 698 811 one 699 811 man 700 811 who 701 811 has 702 811 the 703 811 special 704 811 watch 705 811 of 706 811 it. 707 811 Because 708 811 in 709 811 such 710 811 a 711 811 wilderness 712 811 of 713 811 running 714 811 rigging, 715 811 whose 716 811 various 717 811 different 718 811 relations 719 811 aloft 720 811 cannot 721 811 always 722 811 be 723 811 infallibly 724 811 discerned 725 811 by 726 811 what 727 811 is 728 811 seen 729 811 of 730 811 them 731 811 at 732 811 the 733 811 deck; 734 811 and 735 811 when 736 811 the 737 811 deck-ends 738 811 of 739 811 these 740 811 ropes 741 811 are 742 811 being 743 811 every 744 811 few 745 811 minutes 746 811 cast 747 811 down 748 811 from 749 811 the 750 811 fastenings, 751 811 it 752 811 would 753 811 be 754 811 but 755 811 a 756 811 natural 757 811 fatality, 758 811 if, 759 811 unprovided 760 811 with 761 811 a 762 811 constant 763 811 watchman, 764 811 the 765 811 hoisted 766 811 sailor 767 811 should 768 811 by 769 811 some 770 811 carelessness 771 811 of 772 811 the 773 811 crew 774 811 be 775 811 cast 776 811 adrift 777 811 and 778 811 fall 779 811 all 780 811 swooping 781 811 to 782 811 the 783 811 sea. 784 811 So 785 811 Ahab's 786 811 proceedings 787 811 in 788 811 this 789 811 matter 790 811 were 791 811 not 792 811 unusual; 793 811 the 794 811 only 795 811 strange 796 811 thing 797 811 about 798 811 them 799 811 seemed 800 811 to 801 811 be, 802 811 that 803 811 Starbuck, 804 811 almost 805 811 the 806 811 one 807 811 only 808 811 man 809 811 who 810 811 had 1 812 ever 3 812 ventured 5 812 to 9 812 oppose 11 812 him 13 812 with 15 812 anything 17 812 in 19 812 the 23 812 slightest 25 812 degree 27 812 approaching 31 812 to 33 812 decision--one 37 812 of 39 812 those 41 812 too, 43 812 whose 45 812 faithfulness 47 812 on 51 812 the 53 812 look-out 55 812 he 57 812 had 59 812 seemed 61 812 to 65 812 doubt 67 812 somewhat;--it 69 812 was 71 812 strange, 73 812 that 75 812 this 79 812 was 81 812 the 83 812 very 85 812 man 89 812 he 93 812 should 95 812 select 97 812 for 99 812 his 101 812 watchman; 103 812 freely 107 812 giving 109 812 his 111 812 whole 113 812 life 115 812 into 117 812 such 121 812 an 123 812 otherwise 125 812 distrusted 127 812 person's 129 812 hands. 131 812 Now, 135 812 the 137 812 first 139 812 time 141 812 Ahab 143 812 was 149 812 perched 151 812 aloft; 153 812 ere 155 812 he 157 812 had 159 812 been 163 812 there 165 812 ten 167 812 minutes; 169 812 one 171 812 of 173 812 those 177 812 red-billed 179 812 savage 181 812 sea-hawks 183 812 which 185 812 so 187 812 often 191 812 fly 193 812 incommodiously 195 812 close 197 812 round 199 812 the 201 812 manned 205 812 mast-heads 207 812 of 209 812 whalemen 211 812 in 213 812 these 215 812 latitudes; 219 812 one 221 812 of 223 812 these 225 812 birds 227 812 came 229 812 wheeling 233 812 and 235 812 screaming 237 812 round 239 812 his 241 812 head 243 812 in 247 812 a 249 812 maze 251 812 of 253 812 untrackably 255 812 swift 257 812 circlings. 263 812 Then 265 812 it 267 812 darted 269 812 a 271 812 thousand 275 812 feet 277 812 straight 279 812 up 281 812 into 283 812 the 285 812 air; 289 812 then 291 812 spiralized 293 812 downwards, 295 812 and 297 812 went 299 812 eddying 303 812 again 305 812 round 307 812 his 309 812 head. 311 812 But 313 812 with 317 812 his 321 812 gaze 323 812 fixed 325 812 upon 327 812 the 331 812 dim 333 812 and 335 812 distant 337 812 horizon, 339 812 Ahab 341 812 seemed 345 812 not 347 812 to 349 812 mark 351 812 this 353 812 wild 355 812 bird; 359 812 nor, 361 812 indeed, 363 812 would 365 812 any 367 812 one 369 812 else 373 812 have 375 812 marked 379 812 it 381 812 much, 383 812 it 387 812 being 389 812 no 391 812 uncommon 393 812 circumstance; 395 812 only 397 812 now 401 812 almost 403 812 the 405 812 least 407 812 heedful 409 812 eye 411 812 seemed 415 812 to 417 812 see 419 812 some 421 812 sort 423 812 of 425 812 cunning 429 812 meaning 431 812 in 433 812 almost 437 812 every 439 812 sight. 443 812 "Your 445 812 hat, 447 812 your 449 812 hat, 451 812 sir!" 453 812 suddenly 457 812 cried 459 812 the 461 812 Sicilian 463 812 seaman, 465 812 who 467 812 being 471 812 posted 473 812 at 475 812 the 477 812 mizen-mast-head, 479 812 stood 481 812 directly 485 812 behind 487 812 Ahab, 489 812 though 491 812 somewhat 495 812 lower 499 812 than 501 812 his 503 812 level, 505 812 and 507 812 with 509 812 a 513 812 deep 515 812 gulf 517 812 of 519 812 air 521 812 dividing 523 812 them. 527 812 But 529 812 already 531 812 the 533 812 sable 535 812 wing 537 812 was 541 812 before 543 812 the 545 812 old 547 812 man's 549 812 eyes; 555 812 the 557 812 long 559 812 hooked 561 812 bill 563 812 at 565 812 his 569 812 head: 571 812 with 573 812 a 575 812 scream, 577 812 the 579 812 black 583 812 hawk 585 812 darted 587 812 away 589 812 with 591 812 his 593 812 prize. 597 812 An 599 812 eagle 601 812 flew 603 812 thrice 605 812 round 607 812 Tarquin's 611 812 head, 613 812 removing 615 812 his 617 812 cap 619 812 to 621 812 replace 625 812 it, 627 812 and 629 812 thereupon 631 812 Tanaquil, 633 812 his 635 812 wife, 639 812 declared 641 812 that 643 812 Tarquin 645 812 would 647 812 be 649 812 king 653 812 of 655 812 Rome. 657 812 But 659 812 only 661 812 by 663 812 the 669 812 replacing 671 812 of 673 812 the 675 812 cap 677 812 was 681 812 that 683 812 omen 685 812 accounted 687 812 good. 689 812 Ahab's 691 812 hat 695 812 was 697 812 never 699 812 restored; 701 812 the 703 812 wild 705 812 hawk 709 812 flew 711 812 on 713 812 and 715 812 on 717 812 with 719 812 it; 723 812 far 727 812 in 729 812 advance 731 812 of 733 812 the 737 812 prow: 739 812 and 741 812 at 743 812 last 745 812 disappeared; 747 812 while 751 812 from 753 812 the 755 812 point 757 812 of 759 812 that 761 812 disappearance, 765 812 a 767 812 minute 769 812 black 771 812 spot 773 812 was 775 812 dimly 779 812 discerned, 781 812 falling 785 812 from 787 812 that 789 812 vast 793 812 height 795 812 into 797 812 the 799 812 sea. 801 812 CHAPTER 803 812 131 807 812 The 809 812 Pequod 811 812 Meets 1 813 The 2 813 Delight. 4 813 The 5 813 intense 7 813 Pequod 8 813 sailed 10 813 on; 11 813 the 13 813 rolling 14 813 waves 16 813 and 17 813 days 19 813 went 20 813 by; 22 813 the 23 813 life-buoy-coffin 25 813 still 26 813 lightly 28 813 swung; 29 813 and 31 813 another 32 813 ship, 34 813 most 35 813 miserably 37 813 misnamed 38 813 the 40 813 Delight, 41 813 was 43 813 descried. 44 813 As 46 813 she 47 813 drew 49 813 nigh, 50 813 all 52 813 eyes 53 813 were 55 813 fixed 56 813 upon 58 813 her 59 813 broad 61 813 beams, 62 813 called 64 813 shears, 65 813 which, 67 813 in 68 813 some 70 813 whaling-ships, 71 813 cross 73 813 the 74 813 quarter-deck 76 813 at 77 813 the 79 813 height 80 813 of 82 813 eight 83 813 or 85 813 nine 86 813 feet; 88 813 serving 89 813 to 91 813 carry 92 813 the 94 813 spare, 95 813 unrigged, 97 813 or 98 813 disabled 100 813 boats. 101 813 Upon 103 813 the 104 813 stranger's 106 813 shears 107 813 were 109 813 beheld 110 813 the 112 813 shattered, 113 813 white 115 813 ribs, 116 813 and 118 813 some 119 813 few 121 813 splintered 122 813 planks, 124 813 of 125 813 what 127 813 had 128 813 once 130 813 been 131 813 a 133 813 whale-boat; 134 813 but 136 813 you 137 813 now 139 813 saw 140 813 through 142 813 this 143 813 wreck, 145 813 as 146 813 plainly 148 813 as 149 813 you 151 813 see 152 813 through 154 813 the 155 813 peeled, 157 813 half-unhinged, 158 813 and 160 813 bleaching 161 813 skeleton 163 813 of 164 813 a 166 813 horse. 167 813 "Hast 169 813 seen 170 813 the 172 813 White 173 813 Whale?" 175 813 "Look!" 176 813 replied 178 813 the 179 813 hollow-cheeked 181 813 captain 182 813 from 184 813 his 185 813 taffrail; 187 813 and 188 813 with 190 813 his 191 813 trumpet 193 813 he 194 813 pointed 196 813 to 197 813 the 199 813 wreck. 200 813 "Hast 202 813 killed 203 813 him?" 205 813 "The 206 813 harpoon 208 813 is 209 813 not 211 813 yet 212 813 forged 214 813 that 215 813 ever 217 813 will 218 813 do 220 813 that," 221 813 answered 223 813 the 224 813 other, 226 813 sadly 227 813 glancing 229 813 upon 230 813 a 232 813 rounded 233 813 hammock 235 813 on 236 813 the 238 813 deck, 239 813 whose 241 813 gathered 242 813 sides 244 813 some 245 813 noiseless 247 813 sailors 248 813 were 250 813 busy 251 813 in 253 813 sewing 254 813 together. 256 813 "Not 257 813 forged!" 259 813 and 260 813 snatching 262 813 Perth's 263 813 levelled 265 813 iron 266 813 from 268 813 the 269 813 crotch, 272 813 Ahab 274 813 held 275 813 it 277 813 out, 278 813 exclaiming--"Look 280 813 ye, 281 813 Nantucketer; 283 813 here 284 813 in 286 813 this 287 813 hand 289 813 I 290 813 hold 292 813 his 293 813 death! 295 813 Tempered 296 813 in 298 813 blood, 299 813 and 301 813 tempered 302 813 by 304 813 lightning 305 813 are 307 813 these 308 813 barbs; 310 813 and 311 813 I 313 813 swear 314 813 to 316 813 temper 317 813 them 319 813 triply 320 813 in 322 813 that 323 813 hot 325 813 place 326 813 behind 328 813 the 329 813 fin, 331 813 where 332 813 the 334 813 White 335 813 Whale 337 813 most 338 813 feels 340 813 his 341 813 accursed 343 813 life!" 344 813 "Then 346 813 God 347 813 keep 349 813 thee, 350 813 old 352 813 man--see'st 353 813 thou 355 813 that"--pointing 356 813 to 358 813 the 359 813 hammock--"I 361 813 bury 362 813 but 364 813 one 365 813 of 367 813 five 368 813 stout 370 813 men, 371 813 who 373 813 were 374 813 alive 376 813 only 377 813 yesterday; 379 813 but 380 813 were 382 813 dead 383 813 ere 385 813 night. 386 813 Only 388 813 THAT 389 813 one 391 813 I 392 813 bury; 394 813 the 395 813 rest 397 813 were 398 813 buried 400 813 before 401 813 they 403 813 died; 404 813 you 406 813 sail 407 813 upon 409 813 their 410 813 tomb." 412 813 Then 413 813 turning 415 813 to 416 813 his 418 813 crew--"Are 419 813 ye 421 813 ready 422 813 there? 424 813 place 425 813 the 427 813 plank 428 813 then 430 813 on 431 813 the 433 813 rail, 434 813 and 436 813 lift 437 813 the 439 813 body; 440 813 so, 442 813 then--Oh! 443 813 God"--advancing 445 813 towards 446 813 the 448 813 hammock 449 813 with 451 813 uplifted 452 813 hands--"may 454 813 the 455 813 resurrection 457 813 and 458 813 the 460 813 life--" 461 813 "Brace 463 813 forward! 464 813 Up 466 813 helm!" 467 813 cried 469 813 Ahab 470 813 like 472 813 lightning 473 813 to 475 813 his 476 813 men. 478 813 But 479 813 the 481 813 suddenly 482 813 started 484 813 Pequod 485 813 was 487 813 not 488 813 quick 490 813 enough 491 813 to 493 813 escape 494 813 the 496 813 sound 497 813 of 499 813 the 500 813 splash 502 813 that 503 813 the 505 813 corpse 506 813 soon 508 813 made 509 813 as 511 813 it 512 813 struck 514 813 the 515 813 sea; 517 813 not 518 813 so 520 813 quick, 521 813 indeed, 523 813 but 524 813 that 526 813 some 527 813 of 529 813 the 530 813 flying 532 813 bubbles 533 813 might 535 813 have 536 813 sprinkled 538 813 her 539 813 hull 541 813 with 544 813 their 545 813 ghostly 547 813 baptism. 548 813 As 550 813 Ahab 551 813 now 553 813 glided 554 813 from 556 813 the 557 813 dejected 559 813 Delight, 560 813 the 562 813 strange 563 813 life-buoy 565 813 hanging 566 813 at 568 813 the 569 813 Pequod's 571 813 stern 572 813 came 574 813 into 575 813 conspicuous 577 813 relief. 578 813 "Ha! 580 813 yonder! 581 813 look 583 813 yonder, 584 813 men!" 586 813 cried 587 813 a 589 813 foreboding 590 813 voice 592 813 in 593 813 her 595 813 wake. 596 813 "In 598 813 vain, 599 813 oh, 601 813 ye 602 813 strangers, 604 813 ye 605 813 fly 607 813 our 608 813 sad 610 813 burial; 611 813 ye 613 813 but 614 813 turn 616 813 us 617 813 your 619 813 taffrail 620 813 to 622 813 show 623 813 us 625 813 your 626 813 coffin!" 628 813 CHAPTER 629 813 132 631 813 The 632 813 Symphony. 634 813 It 635 813 was 637 813 a 638 813 clear 640 813 steel-blue 641 813 day. 643 813 The 644 813 firmaments 646 813 of 647 813 air 649 813 and 650 813 sea 652 813 were 653 813 hardly 655 813 separable 656 813 in 658 813 that 659 813 all-pervading 661 813 azure; 662 813 only, 664 813 the 665 813 pensive 667 813 air 668 813 was 670 813 transparently 671 813 pure 673 813 and 674 813 soft, 676 813 with 677 813 a 679 813 woman's 680 813 look, 682 813 and 683 813 the 685 813 robust 686 813 and 688 813 man-like 689 813 sea 691 813 heaved 692 813 with 694 813 long, 695 813 strong, 697 813 lingering 698 813 swells, 700 813 as 701 813 Samson's 703 813 chest 704 813 in 706 813 his 707 813 sleep. 709 813 Hither, 710 813 and 712 813 thither, 713 813 on 715 813 high, 716 813 glided 718 813 the 719 813 snow-white 721 813 wings 722 813 of 724 813 small, 725 813 unspeckled 727 813 birds; 728 813 these 730 813 were 731 813 the 733 813 gentle 734 813 thoughts 736 813 of 737 813 the 739 813 feminine 740 813 air; 742 813 but 743 813 to 745 813 and 746 813 fro 748 813 in 749 813 the 751 813 deeps, 752 813 far 754 813 down 755 813 in 757 813 the 758 813 bottomless 760 813 blue, 761 813 rushed 763 813 mighty 764 813 leviathans, 766 813 sword-fish, 767 813 and 769 813 sharks; 770 813 and 772 813 these 773 813 were 775 813 the 776 813 strong, 778 813 troubled, 779 813 murderous 781 813 thinkings 782 813 of 784 813 the 785 813 masculine 787 813 sea. 788 813 But 790 813 though 791 813 thus 793 813 contrasting 794 813 within, 796 813 the 797 813 contrast 799 813 was 800 813 only 802 813 in 803 813 shades 805 813 and 806 813 shadows 808 813 without; 809 813 those 811 813 two 812 813 seemed 1 814 one; 3 814 it 5 814 was 7 814 only 9 814 the 13 814 sex, 15 814 as 17 814 it 19 814 were, 21 814 that 23 814 distinguished 25 814 them. 27 814 Aloft, 29 814 like 31 814 a 35 814 royal 39 814 czar 41 814 and 43 814 king, 45 814 the 47 814 sun 49 814 seemed 51 814 giving 53 814 this 57 814 gentle 59 814 air 61 814 to 63 814 this 65 814 bold 67 814 and 69 814 rolling 71 814 sea; 73 814 even 75 814 as 79 814 bride 81 814 to 83 814 groom. 85 814 And 87 814 at 89 814 the 91 814 girdling 93 814 line 95 814 of 97 814 the 101 814 horizon, 103 814 a 105 814 soft 107 814 and 109 814 tremulous 113 814 motion--most 115 814 seen 117 814 here 119 814 at 123 814 the 125 814 Equator--denoted 127 814 the 129 814 fond, 131 814 throbbing 133 814 trust, 135 814 the 137 814 loving 139 814 alarms, 141 814 with 145 814 which 147 814 the 149 814 poor 151 814 bride 153 814 gave 155 814 her 157 814 bosom 159 814 away. 161 814 Tied 163 814 up 167 814 and 169 814 twisted; 171 814 gnarled 173 814 and 175 814 knotted 177 814 with 179 814 wrinkles; 181 814 haggardly 183 814 firm 189 814 and 191 814 unyielding; 193 814 his 195 814 eyes 197 814 glowing 199 814 like 201 814 coals, 203 814 that 205 814 still 207 814 glow 211 814 in 213 814 the 215 814 ashes 217 814 of 219 814 ruin; 221 814 untottering 223 814 Ahab 225 814 stood 227 814 forth 229 814 in 233 814 the 235 814 clearness 237 814 of 239 814 the 241 814 morn; 243 814 lifting 245 814 his 247 814 splintered 249 814 helmet 251 814 of 255 814 a 257 814 brow 261 814 to 263 814 the 265 814 fair 267 814 girl's 269 814 forehead 271 814 of 273 814 heaven. 277 814 Oh, 279 814 immortal 281 814 infancy, 283 814 and 285 814 innocency 287

sire; 383 814 sporting 387 814 with 389 814 the 391 814 circle 393 814 of 395 814 singed 397 814 locks 399 814 which 401 814 grew 403 814 on 405 814 the 409 814 marge 411 814 of 413 814 that 415 814 burnt-out 417 814 crater 419 814 of 421 814 his 423 814 brain. 425 814 Slowly 427 814 crossing 431 814 the 433 814 deck 435 814 from 437 814 the 439 814 scuttle, 441 814 Ahab 443 814 leaned 445 814 over 447 814 the 449 814 side 453 814 and 455 814 watched 457 814 how 459 814 his 461 814 shadow 463 814 in 465 814 the 467 814 water 469 814 sank 471 814 and 475 814 sank 477 814 to 479 814 his 483

lovely 519 814 aromas 521 814 in 523 814 that 525 814 enchanted 527 814 air 529 814 did 531 814 at 533 814 last 535 814 seem 537 814 to 541 814 dispel, 543 814 for 545 814 a 547 814 moment, 549 814 the 551 814 cankerous 553 814 thing 557 814 in 559 814 his 563 814 soul. 565 814 That 567 814 glad, 569 814 happy 571 814 air, 573 814 that 575 814 winsome 577 814 sky, 579 814 did 581 814 at 585 814

814 arms 615 814 round 617 814 his 619 814 stubborn 621 814 neck, 623 814 and 625 814 did 631 814 seem 633 814 to 635 814 joyously 637 814 sob 639 814 over 641 814 him, 643 814 as 645 814 if 647 814 over 651 814 one, 653 814 that 655 814 however 657 814 wilful 659 814 and 661 814 erring, 663 814 she 665 814 could 667 814 yet 669 814 find 673 814 it 675 814 in 677 814 her 679 814 heart 681 814 to

365 816 was 367 816 averted; 371 816 like 373 816 a 377 816 blighted 379 816 fruit 383 816 tree 385 816 he 389 816 shook, 395 816 and 397 816 cast 401 816 his 403 816 last, 407 816 cindered 409 816

Look! 42 817 see 44 817 yon 45 817 Albicore! 46 817 who 47 817 put 48 817 it 49 817 into 50 817 him 51 817 to 52 817 chase 53 817 and 54 817 fang 55 817 that 56 817 flying-fish? 58 817 Where 59 817 do

if 97 817 it 98 817 blew 99 817 from 100 817 a 101 817 far-away 102 817 meadow; 103 817 they 104 817 have 105 817 been 106 817 making 107 817 hay 108 817 somewhere 109 817 under 110 817 the 111 817 slopes 112 817 of 113 817 the 115 817 Andes, 116 817 Starbuck, 117 817 and 118 817 the 119 817 mowers 120 817 are 121 817 sleeping 122 817 among 123 817 the 124 817 new-mown 125 817 hay. 126 817

817 half-cut 161 817 swaths--Starbuck!" 162 817 But 163 817 blanched 164 817 to 165 817 a 166 817 corpse's 167 817 hue 168 817 with 169 817 despair, 170 817 the 173 817 Mate 174 817 had 175 817 stolen 176 817 away. 177 817 Ahab 178 817 crossed 179 817 the 180 817 deck 181 817 to 182 817 gaze 183 817 over 184 817 on 185 817 the 186 817 other 187 817 side; 188 817 but 189 817 started 191 817 at 192 817 two 193 817 reflected, 194 817 fixed 195 817 eyes 196 817 in 197 817 the 198 817 water 199 817 there. 200 817 Fedallah 201 817 was 202 817 motionlessly 203 817 leaning 204 817 over 205 817 the 206 817 same 207 817 rail. 208 817 CHAPTER 210 817 133 211 817 The 212 817 Chase--First 213 817 Day. 214 817 That 216 817 night, 217 817 in 218 817 the 219 817 mid-watch, 220 817 when 221 817 the 222 817 old 223 817 man--as 224 817 his 225 817 wont 226 817 at 227 817 intervals--stepped 229 817 forth 230 817 from 231 817 the 232 817 scuttle 233 817 in 234 817 which 235 817 he 236 817 leaned, 237 817 and 238 817 went 239 817 to 240 817 his 241 817 pivot-hole, 242 817 he 243 817 suddenly 244 817 thrust 245 817 out 246 817 his 248 817 face 249 817 fiercely, 250 817 snuffing 251 817 up 252 817 the 253 817 sea 254 817 air 255 817 as 256 817 a 257 817 sagacious 259 817 ship's 260 817 dog 261 817 will, 262 817 in 263 817 drawing 264 817 nigh 265 817 to 267 817 some 268 817 barbarous 269 817 isle. 270 817 He 271 817 declared 272 817 that 273 817 a 274 817 whale 275 817 must 276 817 be 277 817 near. 278 817 Soon 279 817 that 280 817 peculiar 281 817 odor, 282 817 sometimes 283 817 to 284 817 a 286 817 great 287 817 distance 288 817 given 289 817 forth 290 817 by 291 817 the 292 817 living 293 817 sperm 294 817 whale, 295 817 was 296 817 palpable 297 817 to 298 817 all 299 817 the 300 817 watch; 302 817 nor 303 817 was 305 817 any 306 817 mariner 307 817 surprised 308 817 when, 309 817 after 310 817 inspecting 311 817 the 312 817 compass, 313 817 and 314 817 then 315 817 the 316 817 dog-vane, 317 817 and 318 817 then 319 817 ascertaining 320 817 the 321 817 precise 322 817 bearing 324 817 of 325 817 the 326 817 odor 327 817 as 328 817 nearly 329 817 as 330 817 possible, 331 817 Ahab 332 817 rapidly 333 817 ordered 334 817 the 335 817 ship's 336 817 course 337 817 to 338 817 be 339 817 slightly 340 817 altered, 341 817 and 343 817 the 345 817 sail 346 817 to 347 817 be 348 817 shortened. 349 817 The 350 817 acute 351 817 policy 352 817 dictating 353 817 these 354 817 movements 355 817 was 356 817 sufficiently 357 817 vindicated 358 817 at 359 817 daybreak, 360 817 by 362 817 the 363 817 sight 364 817 of 365 817 a 366 817 long 367 817 sleek 368 817 on 369 817 the 370 817 sea 371 817 directly 372 817 and 373 817 lengthwise 374 817 ahead, 375 817 smooth 376 817 as

593 817 whale 594 817 they 595 817 had 596 817 so 597 817 long 598 817 been 599 817 pursuing. 600 817 Ahab 601 817 had 603 817 now 604 817 gained 605 817 his 606 817 final 607 817 perch, 609 817 some 610 817 feet 611 817 above 612 817 the 613 817 other 614 817 look-outs, 615 817 Tashtego 616 817 standing 617 817 just 618 817 beneath 619 817 him 620 817 on 621 817 the 622 817 cap 623 817 of 624 817 the 625 817 top-gallant-mast, 626 817 so 628 817 that 629 817 the 630 817 Indian's 631 817 head 632 817 was 633 817 almost 634 817 on 635 817 a 636 817 level 637 817 with 638 817 Ahab's 639 817 heel. 640 817 From 641 817 this 642 817 height 643 817 the 644 817 whale 647 817 was 648 817 now 649 817 seen 650 817 some 651 817 mile 652 817 or 653 817 so 654 817 ahead, 655 817 at 656 817 every 657 817

spout 673 817 into 674 817 the 675 817 air. 676 817 To 677 817 the 678 817 credulous 679 817 mariners 680 817 it 681 817 seemed 682 817 the 683 817 same 685 817 silent 686 817 spout 687 817 they 689 817 had 690 817 so 691 817 long 692 817 ago 693 817 beheld 694 817 in 695 817 the 696 817 moonlit 697 817 Atlantic 698 817 and 699 817 Indian 700 817 Oceans. 701 817 "And 702 817 did 704 817 none 705 817 of 706 817 ye 707 817 see 708 817 it 709 817 before?" 710 817 cried 711 817 Ahab, 712 817 hailing 713 817 the 714 817 perched 715 817 men 716 817 all 717 817 around 718 817 him. 719 817 "I 720 817

said 738 817 Tashtego. 739 817 "Not 740 817 the 742 817 same 743 817 instant; 744 817 not 745 817 the 746 817 same--no, 747 817 the 748 817 doubloon 749 817 is 750 817 mine, 751 817 Fate 752 817

Whale 769 817 first. 770 817 There 771 817 she 772 817 blows!--there 773 817 she 775 817 blows!--there 776 817 she 777 817 blows! 778 817 There 780 817 again!--there 781 817 again!" 782 817 he 783 817 cried, 784 817 in 785 817 long-drawn, 786 817 lingering, 787 817 methodic 788 817 tones, 789 817 attuned 790 817 to 791 817 the 792 817 gradual 793 817 prolongings 794 817 of 795 817 the 796 817 whale's 797 817 visible 799 817 jets. 800 817 "He's 801 817 going 802 817 to 803 817 sound! 804 817 In 805 817 stunsails! 806 817 Down 807 817 top-gallant-sails! 808 817 Stand 809 817 by 810 817 three

818 he 83 818 slid 85 818 through 87 818 the 89 818 air 91 818 to 93 818 the 95 818 deck. 97 818 "He 99 818 is 101 818 heading 103 818 straight 105 818 to 107 818 leeward, 109 818 sir," 111 818 cried 113 818 Stubb, 115 818 "right 117 818 away 119 818 from 121 818 us; 123 818 cannot 125 818 have 127 818 seen 129 818 the 131 818 ship 133 818 yet." 135 818 "Be 137 818 dumb, 139 818 man! 141 818 Stand

Boats, 171 818 boats!" 173 818 Soon 175 818 all 177 818 the 179 818 boats 181 818 but 183 818 Starbuck's 185 818 were 187 818 dropped; 189 818 all 191 818 the 193 818 boat-sails 195 818 set--all 197 818 the 199 818 paddles 201 818 plying; 203 818 with 205 818 rippling 207 818 swiftness, 209 818 shooting 211 818 to 213 818 leeward; 215 818 and 217 818 Ahab 219 818 heading 221 818 the 223 818 onset. 225 818 A 227 818 pale, 229 818 death-glimmer 231 818 lit 233 818 up 235 818 Fedallah's 237 818 sunken 239 818 eyes; 241 818 a 243 818 hideous 245 818 motion 247 818 gnawed 249 818 his 251 818 mouth. 253 818 Like 255 818 noiseless 257 818 nautilus 259 818 shells, 261 818 their 263 818 light 265 818 prows 267 818 sped 269 818 through 271 818 the 273 818 sea; 275 818 but 277 818 only 279 818 slowly 281 818 they 283 818 neared 285 818 the 287 818 foe. 289 818 As 291 818 they 293 818 neared 295 818 him, 297 818 the 299 818 ocean 301 818 grew 303 818 still 305 818 more 307 818 smooth; 309 818 seemed 311 818 drawing 313 818 a 315 818 carpet 317 818 over 319 818 its 321 818 waves; 323 818 seemed 325 818 a 327 818 noon-meadow, 329 818 so 331 818 serenely 333 818 it 335 818 spread. 337 818 At 339 818 length 341 818 the 343 818 breathless 345 818 hunter 347 818 came 349 818 so 351 818 nigh 353 818 his 355 818 seemingly 357 818 unsuspecting 359 818 prey, 361 818 that 363 818 his 365 818 entire 367 818 dazzling 369 818 hump 371 818 was 373 818 distinctly 375 818 visible, 377 818 sliding 379 818 along 381 818 the 383 818 sea 385 818 as 387 818 if 389 818 an 391 818 isolated 393 818 thing, 395 818 and 397 818 continually 399 818 set 401 818 in 403 818 a 405 818 revolving 407 818 ring 411 818 of 413 818 finest, 415 818 fleecy, 417 818 greenish 419 818 foam. 421 818 He 423 818 saw 425 818 the 427 818 vast, 429 818 involved 431 818 wrinkles 433 818 of 435 818 the 437 818 slightly 439 818 projecting 441 818 head 443 818 beyond. 445 818 Before 447 818 it, 449 818 far 451 818 out 453 818 on 455 818 the 457 818 soft 459 818 Turkish-rugged 461 818 waters, 463 818 went 465 818 the 467 818 glistening 469 818 white 471 818 shadow 473 818 from 475 818 his 477 818 broad, 479 818 milky 481 818 forehead, 483 818 a 485 818 musical 487 818 rippling 489 818 playfully 491 818 accompanying 493 818 the 495 818 shade; 497 818 and 499 818 behind, 501 818 the 503 818 blue 505 818 waters 507 818 interchangeably 509 818 flowed 511 818 over 513 818 into 515 818 the 517 818 moving 519 818 valley 521 818 of 523 818 his 525 818 steady 527 818 wake; 529 818 and 531 818 on 533 818 either 535 818 hand 537 818 bright 539 818 bubbles 541 818 arose 543 818 and 545 818 danced 547 818 by 549 818 his 551 818 side. 553 818 But 555 818 these 557 818 were 559 818 broken 561 818 again 563 818 by 565 818 the 567 818 light 569 818 toes 571 818 of 573 818 hundreds 575 818 of 577 818 gay 579 818 fowl 581 818 softly 583 818 feathering 585 818 the 587 818 sea, 589 818 alternate 591 818 with 593 818 their 595 818 fitful 597 818 flight; 599 818 and 601 818 like 603 818 to 605 818 some 607 818 flag-staff 609 818 rising 611 818 from 613 818 the 615 818 painted 617 818 hull 619 818 of 621 818 an 623

whale's 653 818 back; 655 818 and 657 818 at 659 818 intervals 661 818 one 663 818 of 665 818 the 667 818 cloud 669 818 of 671 818 soft-toed 673 818 fowls 675 818 hovering, 677 818 and 679 818 to 681 818 and 683 818 fro 685 818 skimming 687 818 like 689 818 a 691 818 canopy 693 818 over 695 818 the 697 818 fish, 699 818 silently 701 818 perched 703 818 and 705 818 rocked 707 818 on 709 818 this 711 818 pole, 713 818 the 715 818 long 717 818 tail 719 818 feathers 721 818 streaming 723 818 like 725 818 pennons. 727 818 A 729 818 gentle 731 818 joyousness--a 733 818 mighty 735 818 mildness 737

819 No 92 819 wonder 94 819 there 95 819 had 97 819 been 100 819 some 101 819 among 103 819 the 106 819 hunters 107 819 who 109 819 namelessly 110 819 transported 113 819 and 115 819 allured 116 819 by 118 819 all 121 819 this 122 819 serenity, 124 819 had 125 819 ventured 127 819 to 128 819 assail 131 819 it; 134 819 but 136 819 had 137 819 fatally 139 819 found 142 819 that 145 819 quietude 146

229 819 of 230 819 the 232 819 tropical 233 819 sea, 235 819 among 236 819 waves 239 819 whose 241 819 hand-clappings 242 819 were 244 819 suspended 248 819 by 250 819 exceeding 251 819 rapture, 253 819 Moby 254 819 Dick 256 819 moved 257 819 on, 262 819 still 263 819 withholding 265 819 from 268 819 sight 269 819 the 271 819 full 272 819 terrors 274 819 of 275 819 his 277 819 submerged 278 819

a 337 819 high 340 819 arch, 341 819 like 344 819 Virginia's 346 819 Natural 347 819 Bridge, 349 819 and 352 819 warningly 353 819 waving 355 819 his 356 819 bannered 358 819 flukes 359 819 in 361 819 the 362 819 air, 365 819 the 367 819 grand 368 819 god 370 819 revealed 373 819 himself, 374 819 sounded, 376 819 and 379 819 went 380 819 out 382 819 of 383 819 sight. 386 819 Hoveringly 388 819 halting, 389 819 and 391 819 dipping 394 819 on 395 819 the 397 819 wing, 398 819 the 400 819 white 401 819 sea-fowls 404 819 longingly 407 819 lingered 409 819 over 410 819 the 412 819 agitated 415 819 pool 418 819 that 419 819 he 421 819 left. 422 819 With 424 819 oars 425 819 apeak, 428 819 and 430 819 paddles 431 819 down, 433 819 the 436 819 sheets 437 819 of 439 819 their 440 819 sails 443 819 adrift, 445 819 the 446 819 three 449 819 boats 451 819 now 452 819 stilly 454 819 floated, 457 819 awaiting 458 819 Moby 460 819 Dick's 461 819 reappearance. 463 819 "An 464 819 hour," 466 819 said 467 819 Ahab, 470 819 standing 472 819 rooted 473 819 in 475 819 his 478 819 boat's 479 819 stern; 482 819 and 484 819 he 485 819 gazed 487 819 beyond 488 819 the 491 819 whale's 493 819 place, 496 819 towards 499 819 the 500 819 dim 502 819 blue 503 819 spaces 505 819 and 506 819 wide 508 819 wooing 509 819 vacancies 512 819 to 514 819 leeward. 515 819 It 517 819 was 521 819 only 523 819 an

659 819 vision 661 819 was 662 819 keener 664 819 than 667 819 man's; 668 819 Ahab 670 819 could 671 819 discover 673 819 no 674 819 sign 677 819 in 680 819 the 682 819 sea. 683 819 But 685 819 suddenly 688 819 as 691 819 he 692 819 peered 694 819 down 695 819 and 697 819 down 698 819 into 701 819 its 703 819 depths, 704 819 he 706 819 profoundly 709 819 saw 710 819 a 712 819 white 713 819

821 helpless 20 821 in 21 821 the 22 821 very 23 821 jaws 24 821 he 25 821 hated; 26 821 frenzied 27 821 with 28 821 all 29 821 this, 30 821 he 31 821 seized 32 821 the 33 821 long 34 821 bone 35 821 with 36 821 his 37 821 naked 38 821 hands, 39 821 and 40 821 wildly 41 821 strove 42 821 to 43 821 wrench 44 821 it 45 821 from 46 821 its 47 821 gripe. 48 821 As 49 821 now 50 821 he 51 821 thus 52 821 vainly 53 821 strove, 54 821 the 55 821 jaw 56 821 slipped 57 821 from 58 821 him; 59 821 the 60 821 frail 61 821 gunwales 62 821 bent 63 821 in, 64 821 collapsed, 65 821 and 66 821 snapped, 67

These 98 821 floated 99 821 aside, 100 821 the 101 821 broken 102 821 ends 103 821 drooping, 104 821 the 105 821 crew 106 821 at 107 821 the 108 821 stern-wreck 109 821 clinging 110 821 to 111 821 the

821 preluding 128 821 moment, 129 821 ere 130 821 the 131 821 boat 132 821 was 133 821 yet 134 821 snapped, 135 821 Ahab, 136 821 the 137 821 first 138 821 to 139 821 perceive 140 821 the 141 821 whale's 142 821 intent, 143 821 by 144 821 the 145 821 crafty 146 821 upraising 147 821 of 148 821 his 149 821 head, 150 821 a 151 821 movement 152 821 that 153 821 loosed 154 821 his 155 821 hold 156 821 for 157 821 the 158 821 time; 159 821 at 160 821 that 161 821 moment 162 821 his 163 821 hand 164 821 had 165 821 made 166 821 one 167 821 final 168 821 effort 169 821 to 170 821 push 171 821 the 172 821 boat 173 821 out 174 821 of 175 821 the 176 821 bite. 177 821 But 178 821 only 179 821 slipping 180 821 further 181 821 into 182 821 the 183 821 whale's 184 821 mouth, 185 821 and 186 821 tilting 187 821 over 188 821 sideways 189 821 as 190 821 it 191 821 slipped, 192 821 the 193 821 boat 194 821 had 195 821 shaken 196 821 off 197 821 his 198 821 hold 199 821 on 200 821 the 201 821 jaw; 202 821 spilled 203 821 him 204 821 out 205 821 of 206 821 it, 207 821 as 208 821 he 209 821 leaned 210 821 to 211 821 the 212 821 push; 213 821 and 214 821 so 215 821 he 216 821 fell 217 821 flat-faced 218 821 upon 219 821 the 220 821 sea. 221 821 Ripplingly 222 821 withdrawing 223 821 from 224 821 his 225 821 prey, 226 821 Moby 227 821 Dick 228 821 now 229 821 lay 230 821 at 231 821 a 232 821 little 233 821 distance, 234 821 vertically 235 821 thrusting 236 821 his 237 821 oblong 238 821 white 239 821 head 240 821 up 241 821 and 242 821 down 243 821 in 244 821 the 245 821 billows; 246 821 and 247 821 at 248 821 the 249 821 same 250 821 time 251 821 slowly 252 821 revolving 253 821 his 254 821 whole 255 821 spindled 256 821 body; 257 821 so 258 821 that 259 821 when 260 821 his 261 821 vast 262 821 wrinkled 263 821 forehead 264 821 rose--some 265 821 twenty 266 821 or 267 821 more 268 821 feet 269 821 out 270 821 of 271 821 the 272 821 water--the 273 821 now 274 821 rising 275 821 swells, 276 821 with 277 821 all 278 821 their 279 821 confluent 280 821 waves, 281 821 dazzlingly 282 821 broke 283 821 against 284 821 it; 285 821 vindictively 286 821 tossing 287 821 their 288 821 shivered 289 821 spray 290 821 still 291 821 higher 292 821 into 293 821 the 294 821 air.* 295 821 So, 296 821 in 297 821 a 298 821 gale, 299 821 the 300 821 but 301 821 half 302 821 baffled 303 821 Channel 304 821 billows 305 821 only 306 821 recoil 307 821 from 308 821 the 309 821 base 310 821 of 311 821 the 312 821 Eddystone, 313 821 triumphantly 314 821 to 315 821 overleap 316 821 its 317 821 summit 318 821 with 319 821 their 320 821 scud. 321 821 *This 322 821 motion 323 821 is 324 821 peculiar 325 821 to 326 821 the 327 821 sperm 328 821 whale. 329 821 It 330 821 receives 331 821 its 332 821 designation 333 821 (pitchpoling) 334 821 from 335 821 its 336 821 being 337 821 likened 338 821 to 339 821 that 340 821 preliminary 341 821 up-and-down 342 821 poise 343 821 of 344 821 the 345 821 whale-lance, 346 821 in 347 821 the 348 821 exercise 349 821 called 350 821 pitchpoling, 351 821 previously 352 821 described. 353 821 By 354 821 this 355 821 motion 356 821 the 357 821 whale 358 821 must 359 821 best 360 821 and 361 821 most 362 821 comprehensively 363 821 view 364 821 whatever 365 821 objects 366 821 may 367 821 be 368 821 encircling 369 821 him. 370 821 But 371 821 soon 372 821 resuming 373 821 his 374 821 horizontal 375 821 attitude, 376 821 Moby 377 821 Dick 378 821 swam 379 821 swiftly 380 821 round 381 821 and 382 821 round 383 821 the 384 821 wrecked 385 821 crew; 386 821 sideways 387 821 churning 388 821 the 389 821 water 390 821 in 391 821 his 392 821 vengeful 393 821 wake, 394 821 as 395 821 if 396 821 lashing 397 821 himself 398 821 up 399 821 to 400 821 still 401 821 another 402 821 and 403 821 more 404 821 deadly 405 821 assault. 406 821 The 407 821 sight 408 821 of 409 821 the 410 821 splintered 411 821 boat 412 821 seemed 413 821 to 414 821 madden 415 821 him, 416 821 as 417 821 the 418 821 blood 419 821 of 420 821 grapes 421 821 and 422 821 mulberries 423 821 cast 424 821 before 425 821 Antiochus's 426 821 elephants 427 821 in 428 821 the 429 821 book 430 821 of 431 821 Maccabees. 432 821 Meanwhile 433 821 Ahab 434 821 half 435 821 smothered 436 821 in 437 821 the 438 821 foam 439 821 of 440 821 the 441 821 whale's 442 821 insolent 443 821 tail, 444 821 and 445 821 too 446 821 much 447 821 of 448 821 a 449 821 cripple 450 821 to 451 821 swim,--though 452 821 he 453 821 could 454 821 still 455 821 keep 456 821 afloat, 457 821 even 458 821 in 459 821 the 460 821 heart 461 821 of 462 821 such 463 821 a 464 821 whirlpool 465 821 as 466 821 that; 467 821 helpless 468 821 Ahab's 469 821 head 470 821 was 471 821 seen, 472 821 like 473 821 a 474 821 tossed 475 821 bubble 476 821 which 477 821 the 478 821 least 479 821 chance 480 821 shock 481 821 might 482 821 burst. 483 821 From 484 821 the 485 821 boat's 486 821 fragmentary 487 821 stern, 488 821 Fedallah 489 821 incuriously 490 821 and 491 821 mildly 492 821 eyed 493 821 him; 494 821 the 495 821 clinging 496 821 crew, 497 821 at 498 821 the 499 821 other 500 821 drifting 501 821 end, 502 821 could 503 821 not 504 821 succor 505 821 him; 506 821 more 507 821 than 508 821 enough 509 821 was 510 821 it 511 821 for 512 821 them 513 821 to 514 821 look 515 821 to 516 821 themselves. 517 821 For 518 821 so 519 821 revolvingly 520 821 appalling 521 821 was 522 821 the 523 821 White 524 821 Whale's 525 821 aspect, 526 821 and 527 821 so 528 821 planetarily 529 821 swift 530 821 the 531 821 ever-contracting 532 821 circles 533 821 he 534 821 made, 535 821 that 536 821 he 537 821 seemed 538 821 horizontally 539 821 swooping 540 821 upon 541 821 them. 542 821 And 543 821 though 544 821 the 545 821 other 546 821 boats, 547 821 unharmed, 548 821 still 549 821 hovered 550 821 hard 551 821 by; 552 821 still 553 821 they 554 821 dared 555 821 not 556 821 pull 557 821 into 558 821 the 559 821 eddy 560 821 to 561 821 strike, 562 821 lest 563 821 that 564 821 should 565 821 be 566 821 the 567 821 signal 568 821 for 569 821 the 570 821 instant 571 821 destruction 572 821 of 573 821 the 574 821 jeopardized 575 821 castaways, 576 821 Ahab 577 821 and 578 821 all; 579 821 nor 580 821 in 581 821 that 582 821 case 583 821 could 584 821 they 585 821 themselves 586 821 hope 587 821 to 588 821 escape. 589 821 With 590 821 straining 591 821 eyes, 592 821 then, 593 821 they 594 821 remained 595 821 on 596 821 the 597 821 outer 598 821 edge 599 821 of 600 821 the 601 821 direful 602 821 zone, 603 821 whose 604 821 centre 605 821 had 606 821 now 607 821 become 608 821 the 609 821 old 610 821 man's 611 821 head. 612 821 Meantime, 613 821 from 614 821 the 615 821 beginning 616 821 all 617 821 this 618 821 had 619 821 been 620 821 descried 621 821 from 622 821 the 623 821 ship's 624 821 mast 625 821 heads; 626 821 and 627 821 squaring 628 821 her 629 821 yards, 630 821 she 631 821 had 632 821 borne 633 821 down 634 821 upon 635 821 the 636 821 scene; 637 821 and 638 821 was 639 821 now 640 821 so 641 821 nigh, 642 821 that 643 821 Ahab 644 821 in 645 821 the 646 821 water 647 821 hailed 648 821 her!--"Sail 649 821 on 650 821 the"--but 651 821 that 652 821 moment 653 821 a 654 821 breaking 655 821 sea 656 821 dashed 657 821 on 658 821 him 659 821 from 660 821 Moby 661 821 Dick, 662 821 and 663 821 whelmed 664 821 him 665 821 for 666 821 the 667 821 time. 668 821 But 669 821 struggling 670 821 out 671 821 of 672 821 it 673 821 again, 674 821 and 675 821 chancing 676 821 to 677 821 rise 678 821 on 679 821 a 680 821 towering 681 821 crest, 682 821 he 683 821 shouted,--"Sail 684 821 on 685 821 the 686 821 whale!--Drive 687 821 him 688 821 off!" 689 821 The 690 821 Pequod's 691 821 prows 692 821 were 693 821 pointed; 694 821 and 695 821 breaking 696 821 up 697 821 the 698 821 charmed 699 821 circle, 700 821 she 701 821 effectually 702 821 parted 703 821 the 704 821 white 705 821 whale 706 821 from 707 821 his 708 821 victim. 709 821 As 710 821 he 711 821 sullenly 712 821 swam 713 821 off, 714 821 the 715 821 boats 716 821 flew 717 821 to 718 821 the 719 821 rescue. 720 821 Dragged 721 821 into 722 821 Stubb's 723 821 boat 724 821 with 725 821 blood-shot, 726 821 blinded 727 821 eyes, 728 821 the 729 821 white 730 821 brine 731 821 caking 732 821 in 733 821 his 734 821 wrinkles; 735 821 the 736 821 long 737 821 tension 738 821 of 739 821 Ahab's 740 821 bodily 741 821 strength 742 821 did 743 821 crack, 744 821 and 745 821 helplessly 746 821 he 747 821 yielded 748 821 to 749 821 his 750 821 body's 751 821 doom: 752 821 for 753 821 a 754 821 time, 755 821 lying 756 821 all 757 821 crushed 758 821 in 759 821 the 760 821 bottom 761 821 of 762 821 Stubb's 763 821 boat, 764 821 like 765 821 one 766 821 trodden 767 821 under 768 821 foot 769 821 of 770 821 herds 771 821 of 772 821 elephants. 773 821 Far 774 821 inland, 775 821 nameless 776 821 wails 777 821 came 778 821 from 779 821 him, 780 821 as 781 821 desolate 782 821 sounds 783 821 from 784 821 out 785 821 ravines. 786 821 But 787 821 this 788 821 intensity 789 821 of 790 821 his 791 821 physical 792 821 prostration 793 821 did 794 821 but 795 821 so 796 821 much 797 821 the 798 821 more 799 821 abbreviate 800 821 it. 801 821 In 802 821 an 803 821 instant's 804 821 compass, 805 821 great 806 821 hearts 807 821 sometimes 808 821 condense 809 821 to 810 821 one 811 821 deep 812 821 pang, 813 821 the 814 821 sum 815 821 total 816 821 of 817 821 those 818 821 shallow 819 821 pains 820 821 kindly 1 822 diffused 5 822 through 7 822 feebler 11 822 men's 13 822 whole 17 822 lives. 19 822 And 23 822 so, 25 822 such 29 822 hearts, 31 822 though 35 822 summary 37 822 in 41 822 each 43 822 one 47 822 suffering; 49 822 still, 53 822 if 55 822 the 59 822 gods 61 822 decree 65 822 it, 67 822 in 71 822 their 73 822 life-time 77 822 aggregate 79 822 a 83 822 whole 85 822 age 89 822 of 91 822 woe, 95 822 wholly 97 822 made 101 822 up 103 822 of 107 822 instantaneous 109 822 intensities; 113 822 for 115 822 even 119 822 in 121 822 their 125 822 pointless 127 822 centres, 131 822 those 133 822 noble 139 822 natures 143 822 contain 145 822 the 149 822 entire 151 822 circumferences 155 822 of 157 822 inferior 161 822 souls. 163 822 "The 167 822 harpoon," 169 822 said 173 822 Ahab, 175 822 half 179 822 way 181 822 rising, 185 822 and 187 822 draggingly 191 822 leaning 193 822 on 197 822 one 199 822 bended 203 822 arm--"is 205 822 it 209 822 safe?" 211 822 "Aye, 215 822 sir, 217 822 for 221 822 it 223 822 was 227 822 not 229 822 darted; 233 822 this 235 822 is 239 822 it," 241 822 said 245 822 Stubb, 247 822 showing 251 822 it. 253 822 "Lay 257 822 it 259 822 before 263 822 me;--any 265 822 missing 269 822 men?" 271 822 "One, 275 822 two, 277 822 three, 281 822 four, 283 822 five;--there 287 822 were 289 822 five 293 822 oars, 295 822 sir, 299 822 and 301 822 here 305 822 are 307 822 five 311 822 men." 313 822 "That's 317 822 good.--Help 319 822 me, 323 822 man; 325 822 I 329 822 wish 331 822 to 335 822 stand. 337 822 So, 341 822 so, 343 822 I 347 822 see 349 822 him! 353 822 there! 355 822 there! 359 822 going 361 822 to 365 822 leeward 367 822 still; 371 822 what 373 822 a 377 822 leaping 379 822 spout!--Hands 383 822 off 385 822 from 389 822 me! 391 822 The 395 822 eternal 397 822 sap 401 822 runs 403 822 up 407 822 in 409 822 Ahab's 413 822 bones 415 822 again! 419 822 Set 421 822 the 425 822 sail; 427 822 out 431 822 oars; 433 822 the 437 822 helm!" 439 822 It 443 822 is 445 822 often 449 822 the 451 822 case 455 822 that 457 822 when 461 822 a 463 822 boat 467 822 is 469 822 stove, 473 822 its 475 822 crew, 479 822 being 481 822 picked 485 822 up 487 822 by 491 822 another 493 822 boat, 497 822 help 499 822 to 503 822 work 505 822 that 509 822 second 511 822 boat; 515 822 and 517 822 the 521 822 chase 523 822 is 527 822 thus 529 822 continued 533 822 with 535 822 what 539 822 is 541 822 called 545 822 double-banked 547 822 oars. 551 822 It 553 822 was 557 822 thus 559 822 now. 563 822 But 565 822 the 569 822 added 571 822 power 575 822 of 577 822 the 581 822 boat 583 822 did 587 822 not 589 822 equal 593 822 the 595 822 added 599 822 power 601 822 of 605 822 the 607 822 whale, 611 822 for 613 822 he 617 822 seemed 619 822 to 623 822 have 625 822 treble-banked 629 822 his 631 822 every 635 822 fin; 637 822 swimming 641 822 with 643 822 a 647 822 velocity 649 822 which 653 822 plainly 655 822 showed, 659 822 that 661 822 if 665 822 now, 667 822 under 671 822 these 673 822 circumstances, 677 822 pushed 679 822 on, 683 822 the 689 822 chase 691 822 would 695 822 prove 697 822 an 701 822 indefinitely 703 822 prolonged, 707 822 if 709 822 not 713 822 a 715 822 hopeless 719 822 one; 721 822 nor 725 822 could 727 822 any 731 822 crew 733 822 endure 737 822 for 739 822 so 743 822 long 745 822 a 749 822 period, 751 822 such 755 822 an 757 822 unintermitted, 761 822 intense 763 822 straining 767 822 at 769 822 the 773 822 oar; 775 822 a 779 822 thing 781 822 barely 785 822 tolerable 787 822 only 791 822 in 793 822 some 797 822 one 799 822 brief 803 822 vicissitude. 805 822 The 809 822 ship 811 822 itself, 815 822 then, 817 822 as 821 822 it 1 823 sometimes 2 823 happens, 3 823 offered 4 823 the 5 823 most 6 823 promising 7 823 intermediate 8 823 means 9 823 of 10 823 overtaking 11 823 the 12 823 chase. 13 823 Accordingly, 14 823 the 15 823 boats 16 823 now 17 823 made 18 823 for 19 823 her, 20 823 and 21 823 were 22 823 soon 23 823 swayed 24 823 up 25 823 to 26 823 their 27 823 cranes--the 28 823 two 29 823 parts 30 823 of 31 823 the 32 823 wrecked 33 823 boat 34 823 having 35 823 been 36 823 previously 37 823 secured 38 823 by 39 823 her--and 40 823 then 41 823 hoisting 42 823 everything 43 823 to 44 823 her 45 823 side, 46 823 and 47 823 stacking 48 823 her 49 823 canvas 50 823 high 51 823 up, 52 823 and 53 823 sideways 54 823 outstretching 55 823 it 56 823 with 57 823 stun-sails, 58 823 like 59 823 the 60 823 double-jointed 61 823 wings 62 823 of 63 823 an 64 823 albatross; 65 823 the 66 823 Pequod 67 823 bore 68 823 down 69 823 in 70 823 the 71 823 leeward 72 823 wake 73 823 of 74 823 Moby-Dick. 75 823 At 76 823 the 77 823 well 78 823 known, 79 823 methodic 80 823 intervals, 81 823 the 82 823 whale's 83 823 glittering 84 823 spout 85 823 was 86 823 regularly 87 823 announced 88 823 from 89 823 the 90 823 manned 91 823 mast-heads; 92 823 and 93 823 when 94 823 he 95 823 would 96 823 be 97 823 reported 98 823 as 99 823 just 100 823 gone 101 823 down, 102 823 Ahab 103 823 would 104 823 take 105 823 the 106 823 time, 107 823 and 108 823 then 109 823 pacing 110 823 the 111 823 deck, 112 823 binnacle-watch 113 823 in 114 823 hand, 115 823 so 116 823 soon 117 823 as 118 823 the 119 823 last 120 823 second 121 823 of 122 823 the 123 823 allotted 124 823 hour 125 823 expired, 126 823 his 127 823 voice 128 823 was 129 823 heard.--"Whose 130 823 is 131 823 the 132 823 doubloon 133 823 now? 134 823 D'ye 135 823 see 136 823 him?" 137 823 and 138 823 if 139 823 the 140 823 reply 141 823 was, 142 823 No, 143 823 sir! 144 823 straightway 145 823 he 146 823 commanded 147 823 them 148 823 to 149 823 lift 150 823 him 151 823 to 152 823 his 153 823 perch. 154 823 In 155 823 this 156 823 way 157 823 the 158 823 day 159 823 wore 160 823 on; 161 823 Ahab, 162 823 now 163 823 aloft 164 823 and 165 823 motionless; 166 823 anon, 167 823 unrestingly 168 823 pacing 169 823 the 170 823 planks. 171 823 As 172 823 he 173 823 was 174 823 thus 175 823 walking, 176 823 uttering 177 823 no 178 823 sound, 179 823 except 180 823 to 181 823 hail 182 823 the 183 823 men 184 823 aloft, 185 823 or 186 823 to 187 823 bid 188 823 them 189 823 hoist 190 823 a 191 823 sail 192 823 still 193 823 higher, 194 823 or 195 823 to 196 823 spread 197 823 one 198 823 to 199 823 a 200 823 still 201 823 greater 202 823 breadth--thus 203 823 to 204 823 and 205 823 fro 206 823 pacing, 207 823 beneath 208 823 his 209 823 slouched 210 823 hat, 211 823 at 212 823 every 213 823 turn 214 823 he 215 823 passed 216 823 his 217 823 own 218 823 wrecked 219 823 boat, 220 823 which 221 823 had 222 823 been 223 823 dropped 224 823 upon 225 823 the 226 823 quarter-deck, 227 823 and 228 823 lay 229 823 there 230 823 reversed; 231 823 broken 232 823 bow 233 823 to 234 823 shattered 235 823 stern. 236 823 At 237 823 last 238 823 he 239 823 paused 240 823 before 241 823 it; 242 823 and 243 823 as 244 823 in 245 823 an 246 823 already 247 823 over-clouded 248 823 sky 249 823 fresh 250 823 troops 251 823 of 252 823 clouds 253 823 will 254 823 sometimes 255 823 sail 256 823 across, 257 823 so 258 823 over 259 823 the 260 823 old 261 823 man's 262 823 face 263 823 there 264 823 now 265 823 stole 266 823 some 267 823 such 268 823 added 269 823 gloom 270 823 as 271 823 this. 272 823 Stubb 273 823 saw 274 823 him 275 823 pause; 276 823 and 277 823 perhaps 278 823 intending, 279 823 not 280 823 vainly, 281 823 though, 282 823 to 283 823 evince 284 823 his 285 823 own 286 823 unabated 287 823 fortitude, 288 823 and 289 823 thus 290 823 keep 291 823 up 292 823 a 293 823 valiant 294 823 place 295 823 in 296 823 his 297 823 Captain's 298 823 mind, 299 823 he 300 823 advanced, 301 823 and 302 823 eyeing 303 823 the 304 823 wreck 305 823 exclaimed--"The 306 823 thistle 307 823 the 308 823 ass 309 823 refused; 310 823 it 311 823 pricked 312 823 his 313 823 mouth 314 823 too 315 823 keenly, 316 823 sir; 317 823 ha! 318 823 ha!" 319 823 "What 320 823 soulless 321 823 thing 322 823 is 323 823 this 324 823 that 325 823 laughs 326 823 before 327 823 a 328 823 wreck? 329 823 Man, 330 823 man! 331 823 did 332 823 I 333 823 not 334 823 know 335 823 thee 336 823 brave 337 823 as 338 823 fearless 339 823 fire 340 823 (and 341 823 as 342 823 mechanical) 343 823 I 344 823 could 345 823 swear 346 823 thou 347 823 wert 348 823 a 349 823 poltroon. 350 823 Groan 351 823 nor 352 823 laugh 353 823 should 354 823 be 355 823 heard 356 823 before 357 823 a 358 823 wreck." 359 823 "Aye, 360 823 sir," 361 823 said 362 823 Starbuck 363 823 drawing 364 823 near, 365 823 "'tis 366 823 a 367 823 solemn 368 823 sight; 369 823 an 370 823 omen, 371 823 and 372 823 an 373 823 ill 374 823 one." 375 823 "Omen? 376 823 omen?--the 377 823 dictionary! 378 823 If 379 823 the 380 823 gods 381 823 think 382 823 to 383 823 speak 384 823 outright 385 823 to 386 823 man, 387 823 they 388 823 will 389 823 honourably 390 823 speak 391 823 outright; 392 823 not 393 823 shake 394 823 their 395 823 heads, 396 823 and 397 823 give 398 823 an 399 823 old 400 823 wives' 401 823 darkling 402 823 hint.--Begone! 403 823 Ye 404 823 two 405 823 are 406 823 the 407 823 opposite 408 823 poles 409 823 of 410 823 one 411 823 thing; 412 823 Starbuck 413 823 is 414 823 Stubb 415 823 reversed, 416 823 and 417 823 Stubb 418 823 is 419 823 Starbuck; 420 823 and 421 823 ye 422 823 two 423 823 are 424 823 all 425 823 mankind; 426 823 and 427 823 Ahab 428 823 stands 429 823 alone 430 823 among 431 823 the 432 823 millions 433 823 of 434 823 the 435 823 peopled 436 823 earth, 437 823 nor 438 823 gods 439 823 nor 440 823 men 441 823 his 442 823 neighbors! 443 823 Cold, 444 823 cold--I 445 823 shiver!--How 446 823 now? 447 823 Aloft 448 823 there! 449 823 D'ye 450 823 see 451 823 him? 452 823 Sing 453 823 out 454 823 for 455 823 every 456 823 spout, 457 823 though 458 823 he 459 823 spout 460 823 ten 461 823 times 462 823 a 463 823 second!" 464 823 The 465 823 day 466 823 was 467 823 nearly 468 823 done; 469 823 only 470 823 the 471 823 hem 472 823 of 473 823 his 474 823 golden 475 823 robe 476 823 was 477 823 rustling. 478 823 Soon, 479 823 it 480 823 was 481 823 almost 482 823 dark, 483 823 but 484 823 the 485 823 look-out 486 823 men 487 823 still 488 823 remained 489 823 unset. 490 823 "Can't 491 823 see 492 823 the 493 823 spout 494 823 now, 495 823 sir;--too 496 823 dark"--cried 497 823 a 498 823 voice 499 823 from 500 823 the 501 823 air. 502 823 "How 503 823 heading 504 823 when 505 823 last 506 823 seen?" 507 823 "As 508 823 before, 509 823 sir,--straight 510 823 to 511 823 leeward." 512 823 "Good! 513 823 he 514 823 will 515 823 travel 516 823 slower 517 823 now 518 823 'tis 519 823 night. 520 823 Down 521 823 royals 522 823 and 523 823 top-gallant 524 823 stun-sails, 525 823 Mr. 526 823 Starbuck. 527 823 We 528 823 must 529 823 not 530 823 run 531 823 over 532 823 him 533 823 before 534 823 morning; 535 823 he's 536 823 making 537 823 a 538 823 passage 539 823 now, 540 823 and 541 823 may 542 823 heave-to 543 823 a 544 823

823 the 573 823 doubloon 574 823 in 575 823 the 576 823 main-mast--"Men, 577 823 this 578 823 gold 579 823 is 580 823 mine, 581 823 for 582 823 I 583 823 earned 584 823 it; 585 823 but 586 823 I 587

shall 634 823 be 635 823 divided 636 823 among 637 823 all 638 823 of 639 823 ye! 640 823 Away 641 823 now!--the 642 823 deck 643 823 is 644 823 thine, 645 823 sir!" 646 823 And 647 823 so 648 823 saying, 649 823 he 650 823 placed 651 823 himself 652 823 half 653 823 way 654 823 within 655 823 the 656 823 scuttle, 657 823 and 658 823 slouching 659 823 his 660 823 hat, 661 823 stood 662 823 there 663 823 till 664 823 dawn, 665 823 except 666 823 when 667 823 at 668 823 intervals 669 823 rousing 670 823 himself 671 823 to 672 823 see 673 823 how 674 823 the 675 823 night 676 823 wore 677 823 on. 678 823 CHAPTER 679 823 134 680 823 The 681 823 Chase--Second 682 823 Day. 683 823 At 684 823 day-break, 685 823 the 686 823 three 687 823 mast-heads 688 823 were 689 823 punctually 690 823 manned 691 823 afresh. 692 823 "D'ye 693 823 see 694 823 him?" 695 823 cried 696 823 Ahab 697 823 after 698 823 allowing 699 823 a 700 823 little 701 823 space 702 823 for 703 823 the 704 823 light

823 this 749 823 pertinacious 750 823 pursuit 751 823 of 752 823 one 753 823 particular 754 823 whale, 755 823 continued 756 823 through 757 823 day 758 823 into 759 823 night, 760 823 and 761 823

fishery. 777 823 For 778 823 such 779 823 is 780 823 the 781 823 wonderful 782 823 skill, 783 823 prescience 784 823 of 785 823 experience, 786 823 and 787 823 invincible 788 823 confidence 789 823 acquired 790 823 by 791 823 some 792 823 great 793 823 natural 794 823 geniuses 795 823 among 796 823 the 797 823 Nantucket 798 823 commanders; 799 823 that 800 823 from 801 823 the 802 823 simple 803 823 observation 804 823 of 805 823 a 806 823 whale 807 823 when 808 823 last 809 823 descried, 810 823 they 811 823 will, 812 823 under 813 823 certain 814 823 given 815 823 circumstances, 816 823 pretty 817 823 accurately 818 823 foretell 819 823 both 820 823 the 821 823 direction 822 823 in 1 824 which 3 824 he 5 824 will 7 824 continue 9 824 to 11 824 swim 13 824 for 15 824 a 17 824 time, 19

824 in 53 824 these 55 824 cases, 57 824 somewhat 59 824 as 61 824 a 63 824 pilot, 65 824 when 67 824 about 69 824 losing 71 824 sight 73 824 of 75 824 a 77 824 coast, 79 824 whose 81 824 general 83

824 the 707 824 chase 709 824 of 711 824 whales. 713 824 The 715 824 ship 717 824 tore 719 824 on; 723 824 leaving 725 824 such 727 824 a 729 824 furrow 731 824 in 733 824 the 735 824 sea 737 824 as

825 wild 403 825 craft 404 825 went 406 825 plunging 409 825 towards 412 825 its 413 825 flying 416 825 mark; 419 825 by 421 825 all 422 825 these 424 825 things, 427 825 their 428 825 hearts 431 825

reached 448 827 within--through--and 449 827 then, 450 827 without--the 451 827 rays 452 827 of 453 827 steel; 454 827 dragged 455 827 in 456 827 the 457 827 line 458 827 beyond, 459 827 passed 460 827 it, 461 827 inboard, 462 827 to 463 827 the 464 827 bowsman, 465 827 and 466 827 then, 467 827 twice 468 827 sundering 469 827 the 470 827 rope 471 827 near 472 827 the 473 827 chocks--dropped 474 827 the 475 827 intercepted 476 827 fagot 477 827 of 478 827 steel 479 827 into 480 827 the 481 827 sea; 482 827 and 483 827 was 484 827 all 485 827 fast 486 827 again. 487 827 That 488 827 instant, 489 827 the 490 827 White 491 827 Whale 492 827 made 493 827 a 494 827 sudden 495 827 rush 496 827 among 497 827 the 498 827 remaining 499 827 tangles 500 827 of 501 827 the 502 827 other 503 827 lines; 504 827 by 505 827 so 506 827 doing, 507 827 irresistibly 508 827 dragged 509 827 the 510 827 more 511 827 involved 512 827 boats 513 827 of 514 827 Stubb 515 827 and 516 827 Flask 517 827 towards 518 827 his 519 827 flukes; 520 827 dashed 521 827 them 522 827 together 523 827 like 524 827 two 525 827 rolling 526 827 husks 527 827 on 528 827 a 529 827 surf-beaten 530 827 beach, 531 827 and 532 827 then, 533 827 diving 534 827 down 535 827 into 536 827 the 537 827 sea, 538 827 disappeared 539 827 in 540 827 a 541 827 boiling 542 827 maelstrom, 543 827 in 544 827 which, 545 827 for 546 827 a 547 827 space, 548 827 the 549 827 odorous 550 827 cedar 551 827 chips 552 827 of 553 827 the 554 827 wrecks 555 827 danced 556 827 round 557 827 and 558 827 round, 559 827 like 560 827 the 561 827 grated 562 827 nutmeg 563 827 in 564 827 a 565 827 swiftly 566 827 stirred 567 827 bowl 568 827 of 569 827 punch. 570 827 While 571 827 the 572 827 two 573 827 crews 574 827 were 575 827 yet 576 827 circling 577 827 in 578 827 the 579 827 waters, 580 827 reaching 581 827 out 582 827 after 583 827 the 584 827 revolving 585 827 line-tubs, 586 827 oars, 587 827 and 588 827 other 589 827 floating 590 827 furniture, 591 827 while 592 827 aslope 593 827 little 594 827 Flask 595 827 bobbed 596 827 up 597 827 and 598 827 down 599 827 like 600 827 an 601 827 empty 602 827 vial, 603 827 twitching 604 827 his 605 827 legs 606 827 upwards 607 827 to 608 827 escape 609 827 the 610 827 dreaded 611 827 jaws 612 827 of 613 827 sharks; 614 827 and 615 827 Stubb 616 827 was 617 827 lustily 618 827 singing 619 827 out 620 827 for 621 827 some 622 827 one 623 827 to 624 827 ladle 625 827 him 626 827 up; 627 827 and 628 827 while 629 827 the 630 827 old 631 827 man's 632 827 line--now 633 827 parting--admitted 634 827 of 635 827 his 636 827 pulling 637 827 into 638 827 the 639 827 creamy 640 827 pool 641 827 to 642 827 rescue 643 827 whom 644 827 he 645 827 could;--in 646 827 that 647 827 wild 648 827 simultaneousness 649 827 of 650 827 a 651 827 thousand 652 827 concreted 653 827 perils,--Ahab's 654 827 yet 655 827 unstricken 656 827 boat 657 827 seemed 658 827 drawn 659 827 up 660 827 towards 661 827 Heaven 662 827 by 663 827 invisible 664 827 wires,--as, 665 827 arrow-like, 666 827 shooting 667 827 perpendicularly 668 827 from 669 827 the 670 827 sea, 671 827 the 672 827 White 673 827 Whale 674 827 dashed 675 827 his 676 827 broad 677 827 forehead 678 827 against 679 827 its 680 827 bottom, 681 827 and 682 827 sent 683 827 it, 684 827 turning 685 827 over 686 827 and 687 827 over, 688 827 into 689 827 the 690 827 air; 691 827 till 692 827 it 693 827 fell 694 827 again--gunwale 695 827 downwards--and 696 827 Ahab 697 827 and 698 827 his 699 827 men 700 827 struggled 701 827 out 702 827 from 703 827 under 704 827 it, 705 827 like 706 827 seals 707 827 from 708 827 a 709 827 sea-side 710 827 cave. 711 827 The 712 827 first 713 827 uprising 714 827 momentum 715 827 of 716 827 the 717 827 whale--modifying 718 827 its 719 827 direction 720 827 as 721 827 he 722 827 struck 723 827 the 724 827 surface--involuntarily 725 827 launched 726 827 him 727 827 along 728 827 it, 729 827 to 730 827 a 731 827 little 732 827 distance 733 827 from 734 827 the 735 827 centre 736 827 of 737 827 the 738 827 destruction 739 827 he 740 827 had 741 827 made; 742 827 and 743 827 with 744 827 his 745 827 back 746 827 to 747 827 it, 748 827 he 749 827 now 750 827 lay 751 827 for 752 827 a 753 827 moment 754 827 slowly 755 827 feeling 756 827 with 757 827 his 758 827 flukes 759 827 from 760 827 side 761 827 to 762 827 side; 763 827 and 764 827 whenever 765 827 a 766 827 stray 767 827 oar, 768 827 bit 769 827 of 770 827 plank, 771 827 the 772 827 least 773 827 chip 774 827 or 775 827 crumb 776 827 of 777 827 the 778 827 boats 779 827 touched 780 827 his 781 827 skin, 782 827 his 783 827 tail 784 827 swiftly 785 827 drew 786 827 back, 787 827 and 788 827 came 789 827 sideways 790 827 smiting 791 827 the 792 827 sea. 793 827 But 794 827 soon, 795 827 as 796 827 if 797 827 satisfied 798 827 that 799 827 his 800 827 work 801 827 for 802 827 that 803 827 time 804 827 was 805 827 done, 806 827 he 807 827 pushed 808 827 his 809 827 pleated 810 827 forehead 811 827 through 812 827 the 813 827 ocean, 814 827 and 815 827 trailing 816 827 after 817 827 him 818 827 the 819 827 intertangled 820 827 lines, 821 827 continued 822 827 his 823 827 leeward 824 827 way 825 827 at 826 827 a 1 828 traveller's 5 828 methodic 7 828 pace. 11 828 As 13 828 before, 17 828 the 19 828 attentive 25 828 ship 29 828 having 31 828 descried 35 828 the 37 828 whole 41 828 fight, 43 828 again 47 828 came 49 828 bearing 53 828 down 55 828 to 59 828 the 61 828 rescue, 65 828 and 67 828 dropping 71 828 a 73 828 boat, 77 828 picked 79 828 up 83 828 the 85 828 floating 89 828 mariners, 91 828 tubs, 95 828 oars, 97 828 and 101 828 whatever 103 828 else 107 828 could 109 828 be 113 828 caught 119 828 at, 121 828 and 125 828 safely 127 828 landed 131 828 them 133 828 on 137 828 her 139 828 decks. 143 828 Some 145 828 sprained 149 828 shoulders, 151 828 wrists, 155 828 and 157 828 ankles; 163 828 livid 167 828 contusions; 169 828 wrenched 173 828 harpoons 175 828 and 179 828 lances; 181 828 inextricable 185 828 intricacies 187 828 of 191 828 rope; 193 828 shattered 197 828 oars 199 828 and 203 828 planks; 205 828 all 209 828 these 211 828 were 215 828 there; 217 828 but 221 828 no 223 828 fatal 227 828 or 229 828 even 233 828 serious 235 828 ill 239 828 seemed 241 828 to 245 828 have 247 828 befallen 251 828 any 257 828 one. 259 828 As 263 828 with 265 828 Fedallah 269 828 the 271 828 day 275 828 before, 277 828 so 281 828 Ahab 283 828 was 287 828 now 289 828 found 293 828 grimly 295 828 clinging 301 828 to 305 828 his 307 828 boat's 311 828 broken 313 828 half, 317 828 which 319 828 afforded 323 828 a 325 828 comparatively 329 828 easy 331 828 float; 335 828 nor 337 828 did 341 828 it 343 828 so 347 828 exhaust 349 828 him 353 828 as 355 828 the 359 828 previous 361 828 day's 365 828 mishap. 367 828 But 371 828 when 373 828 he 377 828 was 379 828 helped 383 828 to 385 828 the 389 828 deck, 395 828 all 397 828 eyes 401 828 were 403 828 fastened 407 828 upon 409 828 him; 413 828 as 415 828 instead 419 828 of 421 828 standing 425 828 by 427 828 himself 431 828 he 433 828 still 439 828 half-hung 443 828 upon 445 828 the 449 828 shoulder 451 828 of 455 828 Starbuck, 457 828 who 461 828 had 463 828 thus 467 828 far 469 828 been 473 828 the 475 828 foremost 479 828 to 481 828 assist 485 828 him. 487 828 His 491 828 ivory 493 828 leg 497 828 had 499 828 been 503 828 snapped 505 828 off, 509 828 leaving 511 828 but 515 828 one 517 828 short 521 828 sharp 523 828 splinter. 527 828 "Aye, 533 828 aye, 535 828 Starbuck, 539 828 'tis 541 828 sweet 545 828 to 547 828 lean 551 828 sometimes, 553 828 be 557 828 the 559 828 leaner 563 828 who 565 828 he 569 828 will; 571 828 and 577 828 would 581 828 old 583 828 Ahab 587 828 had 589 828 leaned 593 828 oftener 595 828 than 599 828 he 601 828 has." 605 828 "The 607 828 ferrule 611 828 has 613 828 not 617 828 stood, 619 828 sir," 623 828 said 625 828 the 629 828 carpenter, 631 828 now 635 828 coming 637 828 up; 641 828 "I 643 828 put 647 828 good 649 828 work 653 828 into 655 828 that 659 828 leg." 661 828 "But 665 828 no 671 828 bones 673 828 broken, 677 828 sir, 679 828 I 683 828 hope," 685 828 said 689 828 Stubb 691 828 with 695 828 true 697 828 concern. 701 828 "Aye! 703 828 and 707 828 all 709 828 splintered 715 828 to 719 828 pieces, 721 828 Stubb!--d'ye 725 828 see 727 828 it.--But 731 828 even 733 828 with 737 828 a 739 828 broken 743 828 bone, 745 828 old 749 828 Ahab 751 828 is 755 828 untouched; 757 828 and 761 828 I 763 828 account 767 828 no 769 828 living 773 828 bone 775 828 of 779 828 mine 781 828 one 785 828 jot 787 828 more 791 828 me, 793 828 than 797 828

829 old 9 829 Ahab 10 829 in 11 829 his 12 829 own 13 829 proper 14 829 and 15 829 inaccessible 16 829 being. 17 829 Can 18 829 any 19 829 lead 20 829 touch 21 829 yonder 22 829 floor, 23 829 any 24

829 on 40 829 the 41 829 sail 42 829 again, 43 829 ship 44 829 keepers! 45 829 down 46 829 the 47 829 rest 48 829 of 49 829 the 50 829 spare 51 829 boats 52 829 and 53 829 rig 54 829 them--Mr. 55 829 Starbuck 56 829 away, 57 829 and 58 829 muster 59 829 the 60 829 boat's 61 829 crews." 62 829 "Let 63 829 me 64 829 first 65 829 help 66 829 thee 67 829 towards 68 829 the 69 829 bulwarks, 70 829 sir." 71 829 "Oh, 72 829 oh, 73 829 oh! 74 829 how 75 829 this 76 829 splinter 77 829 gores 78 829 me 79 829 now! 80 829 Accursed 81 829 fate! 82 829 that 83 829 the 84 829 unconquerable 85 829

Give 102 829 me 103 829 something 104 829 for 105 829 a 106 829 cane--there, 107 829 that 108 829 shivered 109 829 lance 110 829 will 111 829 do. 112 829 Muster 113 829 the 114 829 men. 115 829 Surely 116 829 I 117 829 have 118 829 not 119 829 seen 120 829 him 121 829 yet. 122 829 By 123 829 heaven 124 829 it 125 829 cannot 126 829 be!--missing?--quick! 127 829 call 128 829 them 129 829 all." 130 829 The 131 829 old 132 829 man's 133 829 hinted 134 829 thought 135 829 was 136 829 true. 137 829 Upon 138 829 mustering 139 829 the 140 829 company, 141 829 the 142 829 Parsee 143 829 was 144 829 not 145 829 there. 146 829 "The 147 829 Parsee!" 148 829 cried 149 829 Stubb--"he 150 829 must 151 829 have 152 829 been 153 829 caught 154 829 in--" 155 829 "The 156 829 black 157 829 vomit 158 829

quickly 172 829 they 173 829 returned 174 829 to 175 829 him 176 829 with 177 829 the 178 829 tidings 179 829 that 180 829 the 181 829 Parsee 182 829 was 183 829 nowhere 184 829 to 185 829 be 186 829 found. 187 829 "Aye, 188 829 sir," 189 829 said 190 829 Stubb--"caught 191 829 among 192 829 the 193 829 tangles 194 829 of 195 829 your 196 829 line--I 197 829 thought 198 829 I 199 829 saw 200 829

no 324 829 more 325 829 of 326 829 this, 327 829 that's 328 829 worse 329 829 than 330 829 devil's 331 829 madness. 332 829 Two 333 829 days 334 829 chased; 335 829 twice 336 829 stove 337 829 to 338 829 splinters; 339 829 thy 340 829 very 341 829 leg 342 829 once 343 829 more 344 829 snatched 345 829 from 346 829 under 347 829 thee; 348 829 thy 349 829 evil 350 829 shadow 351 829 gone--all 352 829 good 353 829 angels 354 829 mobbing 355 829 thee 356 829 with 357 829 warnings:-- 358 829 what 359 829 more 360 829 wouldst 361 829 thou 362 829 have?--Shall 363 829 we 364 829 keep 365 829 chasing 366 829 this 367 829 murderous 368 829 fish 369 829 till 370 829 he 371 829 swamps 372 829 the 373 829 last 374 829 man? 375 829 Shall 376 829 we 377 829 be 378 829 dragged 379 829 by 380 829 him 381 829 to 382 829 the 383 829 bottom 384 829 of 385 829 the 386 829 sea? 387 829 Shall 388 829 we 389 829 be 390 829 towed 391 829 by 392 829 him 393 829 to 394 829 the 395 829 infernal 396 829 world? 397 829 Oh, 398 829 oh,--Impiety 399 829 and 400 829 blasphemy 401 829 to 402 829 hunt 403 829 him 404 829 more!" 405 829 "Starbuck, 406 829 of 407 829 late 408 829 I've 409 829 felt 410 829 strangely 411 829 moved 412 829 to 413 829 thee; 414 829 ever 415 829 since 416 829 that 417 829 hour 418 829 we 419 829 both 420 829 saw--thou 421 829 know'st 422 829 what, 423 829 in 424 829 one 425 829 another's 426 829 eyes. 427 829 But 428 829 in 429 829 this 430 829 matter 431 829 of 432 829 the 433 829 whale, 434 829 be 435 829 the 436 829 front 437 829 of 438 829 thy 439 829 face 440 829 to 441 829 me 442 829 as 443 829 the 444 829 palm 445 829 of 446 829 this 447 829 hand--a 448 829 lipless, 449 829 unfeatured 450 829 blank. 451 829 Ahab 452 829 is 453 829 for 454 829 ever 455 829 Ahab, 456 829 man. 457 829 This 458 829 whole 459 829 act's 460 829 immutably 461 829 decreed. 462 829 'Twas 463 829 rehearsed 464 829 by 465 829 thee 466 829 and 467 829 me 468 829 a 469 829 billion 470 829 years 471 829 before 472 829 this 473 829 ocean 474 829 rolled. 475 829 Fool! 476 829 I 477 829 am 478 829 the 479 829 Fates' 480 829 lieutenant; 481 829 I 482 829 act 483 829 under 484 829 orders. 485 829 Look 486 829 thou, 487 829 underling! 488 829 that 489 829 thou 490 829 obeyest 491 829 mine.--Stand 492 829 round 493 829 me, 494 829 men. 495 829 Ye 496 829 see 497 829 an 498 829 old 499 829 man 500 829 cut 501 829 down 502 829 to 503 829 the 504 829 stump; 505 829 leaning 506 829 on 507 829 a 508 829 shivered 509 829 lance; 510 829 propped 511 829 up 512 829 on 513 829 a 514 829 lonely 515 829 foot. 516 829 'Tis 517 829 Ahab--his 518 829 body's 519 829 part; 520 829 but 521 829 Ahab's 522 829 soul's 523 829 a 524 829 centipede, 525 829 that 526 829 moves 527 829 upon 528 829 a 529 829 hundred 530 829 legs. 531 829 I 532 829 feel 533 829 strained, 534 829 half 535 829 stranded, 536 829 as 537 829 ropes 538 829 that 539 829 tow 540 829 dismasted 541 829 frigates 542 829 in 543 829 a 544 829 gale; 545 829 and 546 829 I 547 829 may 548 829 look 549 829 so. 550 829 But 551 829 ere 552 829 I 553 829 break, 554 829 yell 555 829 hear 556 829 me 557 829 crack; 558 829 and 559 829 till 560 829 ye 561 829 hear 562 829 THAT, 563 829 know 564 829 that 565 829 Ahab's 566 829 hawser 567 829 tows 568 829 his 569 829 purpose 570 829 yet. 571 829 Believe 572 829 ye, 573 829 men, 574 829 in 575 829 the 576 829 things 577 829 called 578 829 omens? 579 829 Then 580 829 laugh 581 829 aloud, 582 829 and 583 829 cry 584 829 encore! 585 829 For 586 829 ere 587 829 they 588 829 drown, 589 829 drowning 590 829 things 591 829 will 592 829 twice 593 829 rise 594 829 to 595 829 the 596 829 surface; 597 829 then 598 829 rise 599 829 again, 600 829 to 601 829 sink 602 829 for 603 829 evermore. 604 829 So 605 829 with 606 829 Moby 607 829 Dick--two 608 829 days 609 829 he's 610 829 floated--tomorrow 611 829 will 612 829 be 613 829 the 614 829 third. 615 829 Aye, 616 829 men, 617 829 he'll 618 829 rise 619 829 once 620 829 more,--but 621 829 only 622 829 to 623 829 spout 624 829 his 625 829 last! 626 829 D'ye 627 829 feel 628 829 brave 629 829 men, 630 829 brave?" 631 829 "As 632 829 fearless 633 829 fire," 634 829 cried 635 829 Stubb. 636 829 "And 637 829 as 638 829 mechanical," 639 829 muttered 640 829 Ahab. 641 829 Then 642 829 as 643 829 the 644 829 men 645 829 went 646 829 forward, 647 829 he 648 829 muttered 649 829 on: 650 829 "The 651 829 things 652 829 called 653 829 omens! 654 829 And 655 829 yesterday 656 829 I 657 829 talked 658 829 the 659 829 same 660 829 to 661 829 Starbuck 662 829 there, 663 829 concerning 664 829 my 665 829 broken 666 829 boat. 667 829 Oh! 668 829 how 669 829 valiantly 670 829 I 671 829 seek 672 829 to 673 829 drive 674 829 out 675 829 of 676 829 others' 677 829 hearts 678 829 what's 679 829 clinched 680 829 so 681 829 fast 682 829 in 683 829 mine!--The 684 829 Parsee--the 685 829 Parsee!--gone, 686 829 gone? 687 829 and 688 829 he 689 829 was 690 829 to 691 829 go 692 829 before:--but 693 829 still 694 829 was 695 829 to 696 829 be 697 829 seen 698 829 again 699 829 ere 700 829 I 701 829 could 702 829 perish--How's 703 829 that?--There's 704 829 a 705 829 riddle 706 829 now 707 829 might 708 829 baffle 709 829 all 710 829 the 711 829 lawyers 712 829 backed 713 829 by 714 829 the 715 829 ghosts 716 829 of 717 829 the 718 829 whole 719 829 line 720 829 of 721 829 judges:--like 722 829 a 723 829 hawk's 724 829 beak 725 829 it 726 829 pecks 727 829 my 728 829 brain. 729 829 I'LL, 730 829 I'LL 731 829 solve 732 829 it, 733 829 though!" 734 829 When 735 829 dusk 736 829 descended, 737 829 the 738 829 whale 739 829 was 740 829 still 741 829 in 742 829 sight 743 829 to 744 829 leeward. 745 829 So 746 829 once 747 829 more 748 829 the 749 829 sail 750 829 was 751 829 shortened, 752 829 and 753 829 everything 754 829 passed 755 829 nearly 756 829 as 757 829 on 758 829 the 759 829 previous 760 829 night; 761 829 only, 762 829 the 763 829 sound 764 829 of 765 829 hammers, 766 829 and 767 829 the 768 829 hum 769 829 of 770 829 the 771 829 grindstone 772 829 was 773 829 heard 774 829 till 775 829 nearly 776 829 daylight, 777 829 as 778 829 the 779 829 men 780 829 toiled 781 829 by 782 829 lanterns 783 829 in 784 829 the 785 829 complete 786 829 and 787 829 careful 788 829 rigging 789 829 of 790 829 the 791 829 spare 792 829 boats 793 829 and 794 829 sharpening 795 829 their 796 829 fresh 797 829 weapons 798 829 for 799 829 the 800 829 morrow. 801 829 Meantime, 802 829 of 803 829 the 804 829 broken 805 829 keel 806 829 of 807 829 Ahab's 808 829 wrecked 809 829 craft 810 829 the 811 829 carpenter 812 829 made 813 829 him 814 829 another 815 829 leg; 816 829 while 817 829 still 818 829 as 819 829 on 820 829 the 821 829 night 822 829 before, 823 829 slouched 824 829 Ahab 825 829 stood 826 829 fixed 827 829 within 828 829 his 1 830 scuttle; 3 830 his 7 830 hid, 9 830 heliotrope 11 830 glance 13 830 anticipatingly 17 830 gone 19 830 backward 21 830 on 23 830 its 27 830 dial; 29 830 sat 31 830 due 33 830 eastward 37 830 for 39 830 the 41 830 earliest 43 830 sun. 47 830 CHAPTER 49 830 135 51 830 The 53 830 Chase.--Third 57 830 Day. 59 830 The 61 830 morning 63 830 of 67 830 the 69 830 third 71 830 day 73 830 dawned 77 830 fair 79 830 and 81 830 fresh, 87 830 and 89 830 once 91 830 more 93 830 the 97 830 solitary 99 830 night-man 101 830 at 103 830 the 107 830 fore-mast-head 109 830 was 111 830 relieved 113 830 by 117 830 crowds 119 830 of 121 830 the 123 830 daylight 127 830 look-outs, 129 830 who 131 830 dotted 133 830 every 137 830 mast 139 830 and 141 830 almost 143 830 every 147 830 spar. 149 830 "D'ye 151 830 see 153 830 him?" 157 830 cried 159 830 Ahab; 161 830 but 163 830 the 167 830 whale 169 830 was 171 830 not 173 830 yet 177 830 in 179 830 sight. 181 830 "In 183 830 his 187 830 infallible 189 830 wake, 191 830 though; 193 830 but 197 830 follow 199 830 that 201 830 wake, 203 830 that's 207 830 all. 209 830 Helm 211 830 there; 213 830 steady, 217 830 as 219 830 thou 221 830 goest, 223 830 and 227 830 hast 229 830 been 231 830 going. 233 830 What 237 830 a 239 830 lovely 241 830 day 243 830 again! 247 830 were 251 830 it 253 830 a 257 830 new-made 259 830 world, 261 830 and 263 830 made 267 830 for 269 830 a 271 830 summer-house 273 830 to 277 830 the 279 830 angels, 281 830 and 283 830 this 287 830 morning 289 830 the 291 830 first 293 830 of 297 830 its 299 830 throwing 301 830 open 303 830 to 307 830 them, 309 830 a 311 830 fairer 313 830 day 317 830 could 319 830 not 321 830 dawn 323 830 upon 327 830 that 329 830 world. 331 830 Here's 333 830 food 337 830 for 339 830 thought, 341 830 had 343 830 Ahab 347 830 time 349 830 to 351 830 think; 353 830 but 357 830 Ahab 359 830 never 361 830 thinks; 363 830 he 367 830 only 369 830 feels, 371 830 feels, 373 830 feels; 377 830 THAT'S 379 830 tingling 381 830 enough 383 830 for 387 830 mortal 389 830 man! 391 830 to 393 830 think's 397 830 audacity. 399 830 God 401 830 only 403 830 has 407 830 that 409 830 right 411 830 and 413 830 privilege. 417 830 Thinking 419 830 is, 421 830 or 423 830 ought

I've 333 832 known 335 832 some 337 832 ships 339 832 made 341 832 of 343 832 dead 345 832 trees 347 832 outlast 349 832 the 353 832 lives 355 832 of 357 832 men 359 832 made 361 832 of 363 832 the 365 832 most 367 832 vital 369 832 stuff 371 832 of 373 832 vital 375 832 fathers. 379 832 What's 381 832 that 383 832 he 385 832 said? 387 832 he 389 832 should 391 832 still 393 832 go 395 832 before 397 832 me, 399 832 my 401 832 pilot; 405 832 and 407 832 yet 409 832 to 411 832 be 413 832 seen 415 832 again? 417 832 But 419 832 where? 421 832 Will 423 832 I 425 832 have 427 832 eyes 431 832 at 433 832 the 435 832 bottom 437 832 of 439 832 the 441 832 sea, 443 832 supposing 445 832 I 447 832 descend 449 832 those 451 832 endless 453 832 stairs? 457 832 and 459 832 all 461 832 night 463 832 I've 465 832 been 467 832 sailing 469 832 from 471 832 him, 473 832 wherever 475 832 he 477 832 did 479 832 sink 483 832 to. 485 832 Aye, 487 832 aye, 489 832 like 491 832 many 493 832 more 495 832 thou 497 832 told'st 499 832 direful 501 832 truth 503 832 as 505 832 touching 509 832 thyself, 511 832 O 513 832 Parsee; 515 832 but, 517 832 Ahab, 519 832 there 521 832 thy 523 832 shot 525 832 fell 527 832 short. 529 832 Good-bye, 531 832 mast-head--keep 535 832 a 537 832 good 539 832 eye 541 832 upon 543 832 the 545 832 whale, 547 832 the 549 832 while 551 832 I'm 553 832 gone. 555 832 We'll 557 832 talk 561 832 to-morrow, 563 832 nay, 565 832 to-night, 567 832 when 569 832 the 571 832 white 573 832 whale 575 832 lies 577 832 down 579 832 there, 581 832 tied 583 832 by 587 832 head 589 832 and 591 832 tail." 593 832 He 595 832 gave 597 832 the 599 832 word; 601 832 and 603 832 still 605 832 gazing 607 832 round 609 832 him, 613 832 was 615 832 steadily 617 832 lowered 619 832 through 621 832 the 623 832 cloven 625 832 blue 627 832 air 629 832 to 631 832 the 633 832 deck. 635 832 In 639 832 due 641 832 time 643 832 the 645 832 boats 647 832 were 649 832 lowered; 651 832 but 653 832 as 655 832 standing 657 832 in 659 832 his 661 832 shallop's 665 832 stern, 667 832 Ahab 669 832 just 671 832 hovered 673 832 upon 675 832 the 677 832 point 679 832 of 681 832 the 683 832 descent, 685 832 he 687 832 waved 691 832 to 693 832 the 695 832 mate,--who 697 832 held 699 832 one 701 832 of 703 832 the 705 832 tackle-ropes 707 832 on 709 832 deck--and 711 832 bade 713 832 him 717 832 pause. 719 832 "Starbuck!" 721 832 "Sir?" 723 832 "For 725 832 the 727 832 third 729 832 time 731 832 my 733 832 soul's 735 832 ship 737 832 starts 739 832 upon 743 832 this 745 832 voyage, 747 832 Starbuck." 749 832 "Aye, 751 832 sir, 753 832 thou 755 832 wilt 757 832 have 759 832 it 761 832 so." 763 832 "Some 765 832 ships 769 832 sail 771 832 from 773 832 their 775 832 ports, 777 832 and 779 832 ever 781 832 afterwards 783 832 are 785 832 missing, 787 832 Starbuck!" 789 832 "Truth, 791 832 sir: 795 832 saddest 797 832 truth." 799 832 "Some 801 832 men 803 832 die 805 832 at 807 832 ebb 809 832 tide; 811 832 some 813 832 at 815 832 low 817 832 water; 821 832 some 823 832 at 825 832 the 827 832 full 829 832 of 831 832 the 1 833 flood;--and 2 833 I 3 833 feel 4 833 now 5 833 like 6 833 a 8 833 billow 9 833 that's 10 833 all 11 833 one 12 833 crested 13 833 comb, 15 833 Starbuck. 16 833 I 18 833 am 19 833 old;--shake 20 833 hands 22 833 with 23 833 me, 24 833 man." 25 833 Their 26 833 hands 27 833 met; 29 833 their 30 833 eyes 31 833 fastened; 32 833 Starbuck's 33 833 tears 36 833 the 37 833 glue. 38 833 "Oh, 39 833 my 40 833 captain, 41 833 my 43 833 captain!--noble 44 833 heart--go 45 833 not--go 46 833 not!--see, 47 833 it's 48 833 a 50 833 brave 52 833 man 53 833 that 54 833 weeps; 55 833 how 57 833 great 58 833 the 59 833 agony 60 833 of 61 833 the 62 833 persuasion 64 833 then!" 65 833 "Lower 66 833 away!"--cried 67 833 Ahab, 69 833 tossing 71 833 the 72 833 mate's 73 833 arm 74 833 from 75 833 him. 76 833 "Stand 78 833 by 79 833 the 80 833 crew!" 81 833 In 82 833 an 83 833 instant 86 833 the 87 833 boat 88 833 was 89 833 pulling 90 833 round 92 833 close 93 833 under 94 833 the 95 833 stern. 96 833 "The 97 833 sharks! 99 833 the 100 833 sharks!" 101 833 cried 103 833 a 104 833 voice 106 833 from 107 833 the 108 833 low 109 833 cabin-window 110 833 there; 111 833 "O 113 833 master, 114 833 my 115 833 master, 116 833 come 117 833 back!" 118 833 But 120 833 Ahab 121 833 heard 122 833 nothing; 123 833 for 124 833 his 125 833 own 127 833 voice 128 833 was 129 833 high-lifted 130 833 then; 131 833 and 132 833 the 134 833 boat 135 833 leaped 137 833 on. 138 833 Yet 139 833 the 141 833 voice 142 833 spake 143 833 true; 144 833 for 145 833 scarce 146 833 had 148 833 he 149 833 pushed 150 833 from 151 833 the 152 833 ship, 155 833 when 156 833 numbers 157 833 of 158 833 sharks, 159 833 seemingly 160 833 rising 162 833 from 163 833 out 164 833 the 165 833 dark 166 833 waters 167 833 beneath 169 833 the 171 833 hull, 172 833 maliciously 173 833 snapped 174 833 at 176 833 the 177 833 blades 178 833 of 179 833 the 180 833 oars, 181 833 every 183 833 time 184 833 they 185 833 dipped 186 833 in 188 833 the 190 833 water; 191 833 and 192 833 in 193 833 this 194 833 way 195 833 accompanied 197 833 the 198 833 boat 199 833 with 200 833 their 201 833 bites. 202 833 It 205 833 is 206 833 a 207 833 thing 208 833 not 209 833 uncommonly 211 833 happening 212 833 to 213 833 the 214 833 whale-boats 215 833 in 216 833 those 218 833 swarming 219 833 seas; 220 833 the 222 833 sharks 223 833 at 225 833 times 226 833 apparently 227 833 following 228 833 them 229 833 in 230 833 the 232 833 same 233 833 prescient 234 833 way 235 833 that 236 833 vultures 237 833 hover 239 833 over 240 833 the 241 833 banners 242 833 of 243 833 marching 244 833 regiments 246 833 in 247 833 the 248 833 east. 249 833 But 250 833 these 251 833 were 253 833 the 254 833 first 256 833 sharks 257 833 that 258 833 had 260 833 been 261 833 observed 262 833 by 263 833 the 264 833 Pequod 265 833 since 267 833 the 268 833 White 269 833 Whale 270 833 had 271 833 been 274 833 first 275 833 descried; 276 833 and 277 833 whether 278 833 it 279 833 was 281 833 that 282 833 Ahab's 283 833 crew 284 833 were 285 833 all 286 833 such 288 833 tiger-yellow 290 833 barbarians, 291 833 and 292 833 therefore 293 833 their 295 833 flesh 296 833 more 297 833 musky 298 833 to 299 833 the 300 833 senses 302 833 of 303 833 the 304 833 sharks--a 305 833 matter 307 833 sometimes 309 833 well 310 833 known 311 833 to 312 833 affect 313 833 them,--however 314 833 it 316 833 was, 317 833 they 318 833 seemed 319 833 to 320 833 follow 321 833 that 324 833 one 325 833 boat 326 833 without 327 833 molesting 328 833 the 330 833 others. 331 833 "Heart 332 833 of 333 833 wrought 334 833 steel!" 335 833 murmured 337 833 Starbuck 338 833 gazing 339 833 over 341 833 the 342 833 side, 344 833 and 345 833 following 346 833 with 347 833 his 348 833 eyes 349 833 the 351 833 receding 352 833 boat--"canst 353 833 thou 354 833 yet 355 833 ring 356 833 boldly 358 833 to 359 833 that 360 833 sight?--lowering 361 833 thy 362 833 keel 363 833 among 365 833 ravening 366 833 sharks, 367 833 and 368 833 followed 369 833 by 370 833 them, 372 833 open-mouthed 373 833 to 375 833 the 376 833 chase; 377 833 and 379 833 this 380 833 the 381 833 critical 382 833 third 383 833 day?--For 384 833 when 386 833 three 387 833 days 388 833 flow 389 833 together 390 833 in 393 833 one 394 833 continuous 395 833 intense 396 833 pursuit; 397 833 be 398 833 sure 400 833 the 401 833 first 402 833 is 403 833 the 404 833 morning, 405 833 the 407 833 second 409 833 the 410 833 noon, 411 833 and 412 833 the 414 833 third 415 833 the 416 833 evening 417 833 and 418 833 the 419 833 end 421 833 of 422 833 that 423 833 thing--be 424 833 that 426 833 end 428 833 what 429 833 it 430 833 may. 431 833 Oh! 432 833 my 433 833 God! 435 833 what 436 833 is 437 833 this 438 833 that 439 833 shoots 440 833 through 443 833 me, 444 833 and 445 833 leaves 446 833 me 447 833 so 449 833 deadly 450 833 calm, 451 833 yet 452 833 expectant,--fixed 453 833 at 454 833 the 456 833 top 457 833 of 458 833 a 460 833 shudder! 461 833 Future 463 833 things 464 833 swim 465 833 before 466 833 me, 467 833 as 468 833 in 470 833 empty 471 833 outlines 472 833 and 473 833 skeletons; 474 833 all 475 833 the 477 833 past 478 833 is 479 833 somehow 480 833 grown 481 833 dim. 482 833 Mary, 484 833 girl! 485 833 thou 486 833 fadest 487 833 in 488 833 pale 489 833 glories 491 833 behind 492 833 me; 494 833 boy! 495 833 I 496 833 seem 498 833 to 499 833 see 500 833 but 501 833 thy 502 833 eyes 503 833 grown 505 833 wondrous 506 833 blue. 507 833 Strangest 508 833 problems 509 833 of 512 833 life 513 833 seem 514 833 clearing; 515 833 but 516 833 clouds 517 833 sweep 519 833 between--Is 520 833 my 521 833 journey's 522 833 end 523 833 coming? 524 833 My 526 833 legs 528 833 feel 529 833 faint; 530 833 like 531 833 his 533 833 who 534 833 has 535 833 footed 536 833 it 537 833 all 538 833 day. 540 833 Feel 541 833 thy 542 833 heart,--beats 543 833 it 545 833 yet? 547 833 Stir 548 833 thyself, 549 833 Starbuck!--stave 550 833 it 551 833 off--move, 552 833 move! 554 833 speak 555 833 aloud!--Mast-head 556 833 there! 557 833 See 558 833 ye 559 833 my 562 833 boy's 563 833 hand 564 833 on 565 833 the 566 833 hill?--Crazed;--aloft 568 833 there!--keep 569 833 thy 570 833 keenest 571 833 eye 572 833 upon 573 833 the 575 833 boats:-- 576 833 mark 577 833 well 579 833 the 580 833 whale!--Ho! 582 833 again!--drive 583 833 off 584 833 that 585 833 hawk! 586 833 see! 587 833 he 589 833 pecks--he 590 833 tears 591 833 the 592 833 vane"--pointing 593 833 to 594 833 the 596 833 red 597 833 flag 598 833 flying 599 833 at 600 833 the 601 833 main-truck--"Ha! 603 833 he 604 833 soars 605 833 away 606 833 with 607 833 it!--Where's 608 833 the 610 833 old 611 833 man 613 833 now? 614 833 see'st 615 833 thou 617 833 that 618 833 sight, 619 833 oh 620 833 Ahab!--shudder, 621 833 shudder!" 622 833 The 624 833 boats 625 833 had 626 833 not 627 833 gone 628 833 very 631 833 far, 632 833 when 633 833 by 634 833 a 635 833 signal 636 833 from 638 833 the 639 833 mast-heads--a 640 833 downward 641 833 pointed 642 833 arm, 643 833 Ahab 645 833 knew 647 833 that 648 833 the 649 833 whale 650 833 had 652 833 sounded; 653 833 but 654 833 intending 655 833 to 656 833 be 657 833 near 659 833 him 660 833 at 661 833 the 662 833 next 664 833 rising, 666 833 he 667 833 held 668 833 on 669 833 his 670 833 way 671 833 a 673 833 little 674 833 sideways 675 833 from 676 833 the 677 833 vessel; 678 833 the 681 833 becharmed 682 833 crew 683 833 maintaining 684 833 the 685 833 profoundest 687 833 silence, 688 833 as 689 833 the 690 833 head-beat 691 833 waves 692 833 hammered 694 833 and 695 833 hammered 696 833 against 698 833 the 699 833 opposing 701 833 bow. 702 833 "Drive, 703 833 drive 704 833 in 705 833 your 706 833 nails, 708 833 oh 709 833 ye 710 833 waves! 711 833 to 712 833 their 713 833 uttermost 715 833 heads 716 833 drive 717 833 them 718 833 in! 719 833 ye 720 833 but 722 833 strike 723 833 a 724 833 thing 725 833 without 726 833 a 727 833 lid; 729 833 and 730 833 no 732 833 coffin 733 833 and 734 833 no 736 833 hearse 737 833 can 738 833 be 739 833 mine:--and 740 833 hemp 741 833 only 743 833 can 744 833 kill 745 833 me! 746 833 Ha! 747 833 ha!" 750 833 Suddenly 751 833 the 752 833 waters 753 833 around 754 833 them 755 833 slowly 757 833 swelled 758 833 in 759 833 broad 760 833 circles; 761 833 then 762 833 quickly 764 833 upheaved, 766 833 as 767 833 if 768 833 sideways 769 833 sliding 771 833 from 772 833 a 773 833 submerged 774 833 berg 775 833 of 776 833 ice, 778 833 swiftly 779 833 rising 780 833 to 781 833 the 783 833 surface. 785 833 A 786 833 low 787 833 rumbling 788 833 sound 789 833 was 790 833 heard; 792 833 a 793 833 subterraneous 794 833 hum; 795 833 and 796 833 then 797 833 all 800 833 held 801 833 their 802 833 breaths; 803 833 as 804 833 bedraggled 806 833 with 807 833 trailing 808 833 ropes, 809 833 and 810 833 harpoons, 811 833 and 813 833 lances, 814 833 a 815 833 vast 817 833 form 818 833 shot 820 833 lengthwise, 821 833 but 822 833 obliquely 823 833 from 824 833 the 825 833 sea. 827 833 Shrouded 828 833 in 829 833 a 830 833 thin 831 833 drooping 832 833 veil 1 834 of 5 834 mist, 7 834 it 11 834 hovered 13 834 for 17 834 a 19 834 moment 23 834 in 25 834 the 29 834 rainbowed 31 834 air; 35 834 and 37 834 then 41 834 fell 43 834 swamping 47 834 back 49 834 into 53 834 the 55 834 deep. 59 834 Crushed 61 834 thirty 65 834 feet 67 834 upwards, 71 834 the 73 834 waters 77 834 flashed 79 834 for 83 834 an 85 834 instant 89 834 like 91 834 heaps 95 834 of 97 834 fountains, 101 834 then 103 834 brokenly 107 834 sank 109 834 in 113 834 a 115 834 shower 119 834 of 121 834 flakes, 125 834 leaving 127 834 the 131 834 circling 133 834 surface 137 834 creamed 143 834 like 145 834 new 149 834 milk 151 834 round 155 834 the 157 834 marble 161 834 trunk 163 834 of 167 834 the 169 834 whale. 173 834 "Give 175 834 way!" 179 834 cried 181 834 Ahab 185 834 to 187 834 the 191 834 oarsmen, 193 834 and 197 834 the 199 834 boats 203 834 darted 205 834 forward 209 834 to 211 834 the 215 834 attack; 217 834 but 221 834 maddened 223 834 by 227 834 yesterday's 229 834 fresh 233 834 irons 235 834 that 239 834 corroded 241 834 in 245 834 him, 247 834 Moby 251 834 Dick 253 834 seemed 257 834 combinedly 259 834 possessed 263 834 by 265 834 all 269 834 the 271 834 angels 275 834 that 277 834 fell 281 834 from 283 834 heaven. 287 834 The 289 834 wide 293 834 tiers 295 834 of 299 834 welded 301 834 tendons 305 834 overspreading 307 834 his 311 834 broad 313 834 white 317 834 forehead, 319 834 beneath 323 834 the 325 834 transparent 329 834 skin, 331 834 looked 335 834 knitted 337 834 together; 341 834 as 343 834 head 347 834 on, 349 834 he 353 834 came 355 834 churning 359 834 his 361 834 tail 365 834 among 367 834 the 371 834 boats; 373 834 and 377 834 once 379 834 more 383 834 flailed 385 834 them 389 834 apart; 391 834 spilling 395 834 out 397 834 the 401 834 irons 403 834 and 407 834 lances 409 834 from 413 834 the 415 834 two 419 834 mates' 421 834 boats, 425 834 and 427 834 dashing 431 834 in 433 834 one 437 834 side 439 834 of 443 834 the 445 834 upper 449 834 part 451 834 of 455 834 their 457 834 bows, 461 834 but 463 834 leaving 467 834 Ahab's 469 834 almost 473 834 without 475 834 a 479 834 scar. 481 834 While 485 834 Daggoo 487 834 and 491 834 Queequeg 493 834 were 497 834 stopping 499 834 the 503 834 strained 505 834 planks; 509 834 and 511 834 as 515 834 the 517 834 whale 521 834 swimming 523 834 out 527 834 from 529 834 them, 533 834 turned, 535 834 and 539 834 showed 541 834 one 545 834 entire 547 834 flank 551 834 as 553 834 he 557 834 shot 559 834 by 563 834 them 565 834 again; 569 834 at 571 834 that 575 834 moment 577 834 a 581 834 quick 583 834 cry 587 834 went 589 834 up. 593 834 Lashed 595 834 round 599 834 and 601 834 round 605 834 to 607 834 the 611 834 fish's 613 834 back; 617 834 pinioned 619 834 in 623 834 the 625 834 turns 629 834 upon 631 834 turns 635 834 in 637 834 which, 641 834 during 643 834 the 647 834 past 649 834 night, 653 834 the 655 834 whale 659 834 had 661 834 reeled 665 834 the 667 834 involutions 671 834 of 673 834 the 677 834 lines 679 834 around 683 834 him, 685 834 the 689 834 half 691 834 torn 697 834 body 701 834 of 703 834 the 707 834 Parsee 709 834 was 713 834 seen; 715 834 his 719 834 sable 721 834 raiment 725 834 frayed 727 834 to 731 834 shreds; 733 834 his 737 834 distended 739 834 eyes 743 834 turned 745 834 full 749 834 upon 751 834 old 755 834 Ahab. 757 834 The 761 834 harpoon 763 834 dropped 767 834 from 769 834 his 773 834 hand. 775 834 "Befooled, 779 834 befooled!"--drawing 781 834 in 785 834 a 787 834 long 791 834 lean 793 834 breath--"Aye, 797 834 Parsee! 799 834 I 803 834 see 805 834 thee 809 834 again.--Aye, 811 834 and 815 834 thou 817 834 goest 821 834 before; 823 834 and 827 834 this, 829 834 THIS 833 834 then 1 835 is 2 835 the 3 835 hearse 4 835 that 6 835 thou 7 835 didst 8 835 promise. 9 835 But 11 835 I 12 835 hold 13 835 thee 14 835 to 16 835 the 17 835 last 18 835 letter 19 835 of 21 835 thy 22 835 word. 23 835 Where 24 835 is 26 835 the 27 835 second 28 835 hearse? 29 835 Away, 31 835 mates, 32 835 to 33 835 the 34 835 ship! 36 835 those 37 835 boats 38 835 are 39 835 useless 41 835 now; 42 835 repair 43 835 them 44 835 if 46 835 ye 47 835 can 48 835 in 49 835 time, 51 835 and 52 835 return 53 835 to 54 835 me; 56 835 if 57 835 not, 58 835 Ahab 59 835 is 61 835 enough 62 835 to 63 835 die--Down, 64 835 men! 66 835 the 67 835 first 68 835 thing 69 835 that 71 835 but 72 835 offers 73 835 to 74 835 jump 76 835 from 77 835 this 78 835 boat 79 835 I 81 835 stand 82 835 in, 83 835 that 84 835 thing 86 835 I 87 835 harpoon. 88 835 Ye 89 835 are 91 835 not 92 835 other 93 835 men, 94 835 but 96 835 my 97 835 arms 98 835 and 99 835 my 101 835 legs; 102 835 and 103 835 so 104 835 obey 106 835 me.--Where's 107 835 the 108 835 whale? 109 835 gone 111 835 down 112 835 again?" 113 835 But 114 835 he 116 835 looked 117 835 too 118 835 nigh 119 835 the 121 835 boat; 122 835 for 123 835 as 124 835 if 126 835 bent 127 835 upon 128 835 escaping 129 835 with 131 835 the 132 835 corpse 133 835 he 134 835 bore, 136 835 and 137 835 as 138 835 if 139 835 the 141 835 particular 142 835 place 143 835 of 144 835 the 146 835 last 147 835 encounter 148 835 had 149 835 been 151 835 but 152 835 a 153 835 stage 154 835 in 156 835 his 157 835 leeward 158 835 voyage, 159 835 Moby 161 835 Dick 162 835 was 163 835 now 164 835 again 166 835 steadily 168 835 swimming 169 835 forward; 171 835 and 172 835 had 173 835 almost 174 835 passed 176 835 the 177 835 ship,--which 178 835 thus 179 835 far 181 835 had 182 835 been 183 835 sailing 184 835 in 186 835 the 187 835 contrary 188 835 direction 189 835 to 191 835 him, 192 835 though 193 835 for 194 835 the 196 835 present 197 835 her 198 835 headway 199 835 had 201 835 been 202 835 stopped. 203 835 He 204 835 seemed 206 835 swimming 207 835 with 208 835 his 209 835 utmost 211 835 velocity, 212 835 and 213 835 now 214 835 only 216 835 intent 217 835 upon 218 835 pursuing 219 835 his 221 835 own 222 835 straight 223 835 path 224 835 in 226 835 the 227 835 sea. 228 835 "Oh! 229 835 Ahab," 231 835 cried 232 835 Starbuck, 233 835 "not 234 835 too 236 835 late 237 835 is 238 835 it, 239 835 even 241 835 now, 242 835 the 243 835 third 244 835 day, 246 835 to 247 835 desist. 248 835 See! 249 835 Moby 251 835 Dick 252 835 seeks 253 835 thee 254 835 not. 256 835 It 257 835 is 258 835 thou, 259 835 thou, 261 835 that 262 835 madly 263 835 seekest 264 835 him!" 266 835 Setting 267 835 sail 268 835 to 269 835 the 271 835 rising 272 835 wind, 273 835 the 274 835 lonely 276 835 boat 277 835 was 278 835 swiftly 279 835 impelled 281 835 to 282 835 leeward, 283 835 by 284 835 both 286 835 oars 287 835 and 288 835 canvas. 289 835 And 291 835 at 292 835 last 293 835 when 294 835 Ahab 296 835 was 297 835 sliding 298 835 by 299 835 the 301 835 vessel, 302 835 so 303 835 near 304 835 as 306 835 plainly 307 835 to 308 835 distinguish 309 835 Starbuck's 311 835 face 312 835 as 313 835 he 314 835 leaned 316 835 over 317 835 the 318 835 rail, 319 835 he 321 835 hailed 322 835 him 323 835 to 324 835 turn 326 835 the 327 835 vessel 328 835 about, 329 835 and 331 835 follow 332 835 him, 333 835 not 336 835 too 337 835 swiftly, 338 835 at 339 835 a 341 835 judicious 342 835 interval. 343 835 Glancing 344 835 upwards, 346 835 he 347 835 saw 348 835 Tashtego, 349 835 Queequeg, 351 835 and 352 835 Daggoo, 353 835 eagerly 354 835 mounting 356 835 to 357 835 the 358 835 three 359 835 mast-heads; 361 835 while 362 835 the 363 835 oarsmen 364 835 were 366 835 rocking 367 835 in 368 835 the 369 835 two 371 835 staved 372 835 boats 373 835 which 374 835 had 376 835 but 377 835 just 378 835 been 379 835 hoisted 381 835 to 382 835 the 383 835 side, 384 835 and 386 835 were 387 835 busily 388 835 at 389 835 work 391 835 in 392 835 repairing 393 835 them. 394 835 One 396 835 after 397 835 the 398 835 other, 399 835 through 401 835 the 402 835 port-holes, 403 835 as 404 835 he 406 835 sped, 407 835 he 408 835 also 409 835 caught 411 835 flying 412 835 glimpses 413 835 of 414 835 Stubb 416 835 and 417 835 Flask, 418 835 busying 419 835 themselves 421 835 on 422 835 deck 423 835 among 424 835 bundles 426 835 of 427 835 new 428 835 irons 429 835 and 431 835 lances. 432 835 As 433 835 he 434 835 saw 436 835 all 437 835 this; 438 835 as 439 835 he 441 835 heard 442 835 the 443 835 hammers 444 835 in 446 835 the 447 835 broken 448 835 boats; 449 835 far 451 835 other 452 835 hammers 453 835 seemed 454 835 driving 456 835 a 457 835 nail 458 835 into 459 835 his 461 835 heart. 462 835 But 463 835 he 464 835 rallied. 466 835 And 467 835 now 468 835 marking 469 835 that 471 835 the 472 835 vane 473 835 or 474 835 flag 476 835 was 477 835 gone 478 835 from 479 835 the 481 835 main-mast-head, 482 835 he 483 835 shouted 484 835 to 486 835 Tashtego, 487 835 who 488 835 had 489 835 just 491 835 gained 492 835 that 493 835 perch, 494 835 to 496 835 descend 497 835 again 498 835 for 499 835 another 502 835 flag, 503 835 and 504 835 a 506 835 hammer 507 835 and 508 835 nails, 509 835 and 511 835 so 512 835 nail 513 835 it 514 835 to 516 835 the 517 835 mast. 518 835 Whether 519 835 fagged 521 835 by 522 835 the 523 835 three 524 835 days' 526 835 running 527 835 chase, 528 835 and 529 835 the 531 835 resistance 532 835 to 533 835 his 534 835 swimming 536 835 in 537 835 the 538 835 knotted 539 835 hamper 541 835 he 542 835 bore; 543 835 or 544 835 whether 546 835 it 547 835 was 548 835 some 549 835 latent 551 835 deceitfulness 552 835 and 553 835 malice 554 835 in 556 835 him: 557 835 whichever 558 835 was 559 835 true, 561 835 the 562 835 White 563 835 Whale's 564 835 way 566 835 now 567 835 began 568 835 to 569 835 abate, 571 835 as 572 835 it 573 835 seemed, 574 835 from 576 835 the 577 835 boat 578 835 so 579 835 rapidly 581 835 nearing 582 835 him 583 835 once 584 835 more; 586 835 though 587 835 indeed 588 835 the 589 835 whale's 591 835 last 592 835 start 593 835 had 594 835 not 596 835 been 597 835 so 598 835 long 599 835 a 601 835 one 602 835 as 603 835 before. 604 835 And 606 835 still 607 835 as 608 835 Ahab 609 835 glided 611 835 over 612 835 the 613 835 waves 614 835 the 616 835 unpitying 617 835 sharks 618 835 accompanied 619 835 him; 621 835 and 622 835 so 623 835 pertinaciously 624 835 stuck 626 835 to 627 835 the 628 835 boat; 629 835 and 631 835 so 632 835 continually 633 835 bit 634 835 at 636 835 the 637 835 plying 638 835 oars, 639 835 that 641 835 the 642 835 blades 643 835 became 644 835 jagged 646 835 and 647 835 crunched, 648 835 and 649 835 left 651 835 small 652 835 splinters 653 835 in 654 835 the 656 835 sea, 657 835 at 658 835 almost 659 835 every 661 835 dip. 662 835 "Heed 663 835 them 664 835 not! 666 835 those 667 835 teeth 669 835 but 671 835 give 672 835 new 673 835 rowlocks 674 835 to 676 835 your 677 835 oars. 678 835 Pull 679 835 on! 681 835 'tis 682 835 the 683 835 better 684 835 rest, 686 835 the 687 835 shark's 688 835 jaw 689 835 than 691 835 the 692 835 yielding 693 835 water." 694 835 "But 696 835 at 697 835 every 698 835 bite, 699 835 sir, 701 835 the 702 835 thin 703 835 blades 704 835 grow 706 835 smaller 707 835 and 708 835 smaller!" 709 835 "They 711 835 will 712 835 last 713 835 long 714 835 enough! 716 835 pull 717 835 on!--But 718 835 who 719 835 can 721 835 tell"--he 722 835 muttered--"whether 723 835 these 724 835 sharks 726 835 swim 727 835 to 728 835 feast 729 835 on 731 835 the 732 835 whale 733 835 or 734 835 on 736 835 Ahab?--But 737 835 pull 738 835 on! 739 835 Aye, 741 835 all 742 835 alive, 743 835 now--we 744 835 near 746 835 him. 747 835 The 748 835 helm! 749 835 take 751 835 the 752 835 helm! 753 835 let 754 835 me 756 835 pass,"--and 757 835 so 758 835 saying 759 835 two 761 835 of 762 835 the 763 835 oarsmen 764 835 helped 766 835 him 767 835 forward 768 835 to 769 835 the 771 835 bows 772 835 of 773 835 the 774 835 still 776 835 flying 777 835 boat. 778 835 At 779 835 length 781 835 as 782 835 the 783 835 craft 784 835 was 786 835 cast 787 835 to 788 835 one 789 835 side, 791 835 and 792 835 ran 793 835 ranging 794 835 along 796 835 with 797 835 the 798 835 White 799 835 Whale's 801 835 flank, 802 835 he 803 835 seemed 804 835 strangely 806 835 oblivious 807 835 of 808 835 its 809 835 advance--as 811 835 the 812 835 whale 813 835 sometimes 814 835 will--and 816 835 Ahab 817 835 was 818 835 fairly 819 835 within 821 835 the 822 835 smoky 823 835 mountain 824 835 mist, 826 835 which, 827 835 thrown 828 835 off 829 835 from 831 835 the 832 835 whale's 833 835 spout, 834 835 curled 1 836 round 3 836 his 5 836 great, 7 836 Monadnock 9 836 hump; 13 836 he 15 836 was 17 836 even 21 836 thus 23 836 close 25 836 to 27 836 him; 29 836 when, 31 836 with 35 836 body 37 836 arched 39 836 back, 41 836 and 43 836 both 45 836 arms 47 836 lengthwise 49 836 high-lifted 51 836 to 53 836 the 59 836 poise, 61 836 he 63 836 darted 65 836 his 67 836 fierce 69 836 iron, 71 836 and 73 836 his 75 836 far 79 836 fiercer 81 836 curse 83 836 into 85 836 the 87 836 hated 89 836 whale. 91 836 As 93 836 both 97 836 steel 101 836 and 103 836 curse 105 836 sank 107 836 to 109 836 the 111 836 socket, 113 836 as 115 836 if 117 836 sucked 119 836 into 123 836 a 125 836 morass, 127 836 Moby 129 836 Dick 131 836 sideways 135 836 writhed; 137 836 spasmodically 139 836 rolled 141 836 his 145 836 nigh 147 836 flank 149 836 against 151 836 the 153 836 bow, 155 836 and, 157 836 without 159 836 staving 161 836 a 163 836 hole 167 836 in 169 836 it, 173 836 so 175 836 suddenly 177 836 canted 179 836 the 181 836 boat 183 836 over, 185 836 that 189 836 had 191 836 it 193 836 not 195 836 been 197 836 for 199 836 the 201 836 elevated 203 836 part 205 836 of 207 836 the 211 836 gunwale 213 836 to 215 836 which 217 836 he 219 836 then 221 836 clung, 223 836 Ahab 225 836 would 227 836 once 229 836 more 233 836 have 235 836 been 237 836 tossed 239 836 into 241 836 the 243 836 sea. 245 836 As 249 836 it 251 836 was, 255 836 three 257 836 of 259 836 the 261 836 oarsmen--who 263 836 foreknew 265 836 not 267 836 the 269 836 precise 271 836 instant 273 836 of 277 836 the 279 836 dart, 281 836 and 283 836 were 287 836 therefore 289 836 unprepared 291 836 for 293 836 its 295 836 effects--these 299 836 were 301 836 flung 303 836 out; 305 836 but 307 836 so 309 836 fell, 311 836 that, 313 836 in 315 836 an 317 836 instant 321 836 two 325 836 of 327 836 them 329 836 clutched 331 836 the 333 836 gunwale 335 836 again, 337 836 and 339 836 rising 343 836 to 345 836 its 347 836 level 349 836 on 351 836 a 353 836 combing 355 836 wave, 357 836 hurled 359 836 themselves 365 836 bodily 367 836 inboard 369 836 again; 371 836 the 373 836 third 375 836 man 377 836 helplessly 379 836 dropping 381 836 astern, 383 836 but 387 836 still 389 836 afloat 391 836 and 393 836 swimming. 395 836 Almost 397 836 simultaneously, 401 836 with 403 836 a 405 836 mighty 409 836 volition 411 836 of 413 836 ungraduated, 415 836 instantaneous 417 836 swiftness, 419 836 the 421 836 White 423 836 Whale 425 836 darted 427 836 through 431 836 the 433 836 weltering 435 836 sea. 439 836 But 441 836 when 443 836 Ahab 445 836 cried 447 836 out 449 836 to 453 836 the 455 836 steersman 457 836 to 459 836 take 461 836 new 463 836 turns 465 836 with 467 836 the 469 836 line, 471 836 and 477 836 hold 479 836 it 481 836 so; 483 836 and 485 836 commanded 487 836 the 489 836 crew 491 836 to 493 836 turn 497 836 round 499 836 on 501 836 their 503 836 seats, 505 836 and 507 836 tow 509 836 the 511 836 boat 515 836 up 519 836 to 521 836 the 523 836 mark; 525 836 the 527 836 moment 529 836 the 531 836 treacherous 533 836 line 535 836 felt 537 836 that 541 836 double 543 836 strain 545 836 and 547 836 tug, 549 836 it 553 836 snapped 555 836 in 557 836 the 559 836 empty 563 836 air! 565 836 "What 567 836 breaks 569 836 in 571 836 me? 573 836 Some 575 836 sinew 577 836 cracks!--'tis 579 836 whole 581 836 again; 585 836 oars! 587 836 oars! 591 836 Burst 593 836 in 595 836 upon 597 836 him!" 599 836 Hearing 601 836 the 603 836 tremendous 607 836 rush 609 836 of 611 836 the 613 836 sea-crashing 615 836 boat, 617 836 the 619 836 whale 621 836 wheeled 623 836 round 625 836 to 629 836 present 631 836 his 633 836 blank 635 836 forehead 637 836 at 639 836 bay; 641 836 but 643 836 in 645 836 that 647 836 evolution, 651 836 catching 653 836 sight 655 836 of 657 836 the 659 836 nearing 661 836 black 663 836 hull 667 836 of 669 836 the 673 836 ship; 675 836 seemingly 677 836 seeing 679 836 in 681 836 it 683 836 the 685 836 source 687 836 of 689 836 all 691 836 his 695 836 persecutions; 697 836 bethinking 699 836 it--it 701 836 may 705 836 be--a 707 836 larger 709 836 and 711 836 nobler 713 836 foe; 717 836 of 719 836 a 721 836 sudden, 723 836 he 725 836 bore 727 836 down 729 836 upon 731 836 its 733 836 advancing 735 836 prow, 739 836 smiting 743 836 his 745 836 jaws 747 836 amid 749 836 fiery 751 836 showers 753 836 of 755 836 foam. 757 836 Ahab 761 836 staggered; 763 836 his 765 836 hand 767 836 smote 769 836 his 771 836 forehead. 773 836 "I 775 836 grow 777 836 blind; 783 836 hands! 785 836 stretch 787 836 out 789 836 before 791 836 me 793 836 that 795 836 I 797 836 may 799 836 yet 801 836 grope 805 836 my 807 836 way. 809 836 Is't 811 836 night?" 813 836 "The 815 836 whale! 819 836 The 821 836 ship!" 823 836 cried 827 836 the 829 836 cringing 831 836 oarsmen. 833 836 "Oars! 835 836 oars! 1 837 Slope 2 837 downwards 4 837 to 5 837 thy 7 837 depths, 8 837 O 10 837 sea, 11 837 that 13 837 ere 14 837 it 16 837 be 17 837 for 19 837 ever 20 837 too 22 837 late, 23 837 Ahab 25 837 may 26 837 slide 28 837 this 29 837 last, 32 837 last 34 837 time 35 837 upon 37 837 his 38 837 mark! 40 837 I 41 837 see: 43 837 the 44 837 ship! 46 837 the 47 837 ship! 49 837 Dash 50 837 on, 52 837 my 53 837 men! 55 837 Will 56 837 ye 58 837 not 59 837 save 61 837 my 64 837 ship?" 65 837 But 67 837 as 68 837 the 70 837 oarsmen 71 837 violently 73 837 forced 74 837 their 76 837 boat 77 837 through 79 837 the 80 837 sledge-hammering 82 837 seas, 83 837 the 85 837 before 86 837 whale-smitten 88 837 bow-ends 89 837 of 91 837 two 92 837 planks 94 837 burst 95 837 through, 97 837 and 98 837 in 100 837 an 101 837 instant 103 837 almost, 104 837 the 106 837 temporarily 107 837 disabled 109 837 boat 110 837 lay 112 837 nearly 113 837 level 115 837 with 116 837 the 118 837 waves; 119 837 its 121 837 half-wading, 122 837 splashing 125 837 crew, 127 837 trying 128 837 hard 130 837 to 131 837 stop 133 837 the 134 837 gap 136 837 and 137 837 bale 139 837 out 140 837 the 142 837 pouring 143 837 water. 145 837 Meantime, 146 837 for 148 837 that 149 837 one 151 837 beholding 152 837 instant, 154 837 Tashtego's 157 837 mast-head 158 837 hammer 160 837 remained 161 837 suspended 163 837 in 164 837 his 166 837 hand; 167 837 and 169 837 the 170 837 red 172 837 flag, 173 837 half-wrapping 175 837 him 176 837 as 178 837 with 179 837 a 181 837 plaid, 182 837 then 184 837 streamed 185 837 itself 187 837 straight 188 837 out 190 837 from 191 837 him, 193 837 as 194 837 his 196 837 own 197 837 forward-flowing 199 837 heart; 200 837 while 202 837 Starbuck 203 837 and 205 837 Stubb, 206 837 standing 208 837 upon 209 837 the 211 837 bowsprit 212 837 beneath, 214 837 caught 215 837 sight 218 837 of 220 837 the 221 837 down-coming 223 837 monster 224 837 just 226 837 as 227 837 soon 229 837 as 230 837 he. 232 837 "The 233 837 whale, 235 837 the 236 837 whale! 238 837 Up 239 837 helm, 241 837 up 242 837 helm! 244 837 Oh, 245 837 all 247 837 ye 250 837 sweet 251

hung 695 837 inactive; 697 837 hammers, 698 837 bits 700 837 of 701 837 plank, 703 837 lances, 704 837 and 706 837 harpoons, 707 837 mechanically 709 837 retained 710 837 in 712 837 their 715 837 hands, 716 837 just 718 837 as 719 837 they 721 837 had 722 837 darted 724 837 from 725 837 their 727 837 various 728 837 employments; 730 837 all 731 837 their 733 837 enchanted 734 837 eyes 736 837 intent 737 837 upon 739 837 the 740 837 whale, 742 837 which 743 837 from 745 837 side 746 837 to 748 837 side 749 837 strangely 751 837 vibrating 752 837 his 754 837 predestinating 755 837 head, 757 837 sent 758 837 a 760 837 broad 761 837 band 763 837 of 764 837 overspreading 766 837 semicircular 767 837 foam 769 837 before 770 837 him 772 837 as 773 837 he 776 837 rushed. 778 837 Retribution, 779 837 swift 781 837 vengeance, 782 837 eternal 784 837 malice 785 837 were 787 837 in 788 837 his 790 837 whole 791 837 aspect, 793 837 and 794 837 spite 796 837 of 797 837 all 799 837 that 800 837 mortal 802 837 man 803 837 could 805 837 do, 808 837 the 809 837 solid 811 837 white 812 837 buttress 814 837 of 815 837 his 817 837 forehead 818 837 smote 820 837 the 821 837 ship's 823 837 starboard 824 837 bow, 826 837 till 827 837 men 829 837 and 830 837 timbers 832 837 reeled. 833 837 Some 835 837 fell 836 837 flat 1 838 upon 3 838 their 5 838 faces. 7 838 Like 9 838 dislodged 11 838 trucks, 13 838 the 15 838 heads 17 838 of 19 838 the 21 838 harpooneers 23 838 aloft 25 838 shook 27 838 on 29 838 their 31 838 bull-like 33 838 necks. 35 838 Through 37 838 the 39 838 breach, 41 838 they 43 838 heard 45 838 the 47 838 waters 49 838 pour, 51 838 as 53 838 mountain 55 838 torrents 57 838 down 59 838 a 61 838 flume. 63 838 "The 65 838 ship! 67 838 The 69 838 hearse!--the 71 838 second 73 838 hearse!" 75 838 cried 77 838 Ahab 79 838 from 81 838 the 83 838 boat; 85 838 "its 87 838 wood 89 838 could 91 838 only 93 838 be 95 838 American!" 97 838 Diving 99 838 beneath 101 838 the 103 838 settling 105 838 ship, 107 838 the 109 838 whale 111 838 ran 113 838 quivering 115 838 along 117 838 its 119 838 keel; 121 838 but 123 838 turning 125 838 under 127 838 water, 129 838 swiftly 131 838 shot 133 838 to 135 838 the 137 838 surface 139 838 again, 141 838 far 143 838 off 145 838 the 147 838 other 149 838 bow, 151 838 but 153 838 within 155 838 a 157 838 few 159 838 yards 161 838 of 163 838 Ahab's 165 838 boat, 167 838 where, 169 838 for 171 838 a 173 838 time, 175 838 he 177 838 lay 179 838 quiescent. 181 838 "I 183 838 turn 185 838 my 187 838 body 189 838 from 191 838 the 193 838

279 838 off 281 838 from 283 838 the 285 838 last 287 838 fond 289 838 pride 291 838 of 293 838 meanest 295 838 shipwrecked 297 838 captains? 299 838 Oh, 301 838 lonely 303 838 death 305 838 on 307 838 lonely 309 838 life! 311 838 Oh, 313 838 now 315 838 I 317 838 feel 319 838 my 321 838 topmost 323 838 greatness 325 838 lies 327 838 in 329 838 my 331 838 topmost 333 838 grief. 335 838 Ho, 337 838 ho! 339 838 from 341 838 all 343 838 your 345 838 furthest 347 838 bounds, 349 838 pour 351 838 ye 353 838 now 355 838 in, 357 838 ye 359 838 bold 361 838 billows 363 838 of 365 838 my 367 838 whole 369 838 foregone 371 838 life, 373 838 and 375 838 top 377 838 this 379 838 one 381 838 piled 383 838 comber 385 838 of 387 838 my 389 838 death! 391 838 Towards 393 838 thee 395 838 I 397 838 roll, 399 838 thou 401 838 all-destroying 403 838 but 405 838 unconquering 407 838 whale; 409 838 to 411 838 the 413 838 last 415 838 I 417 838 grapple 421 838 with 423 838 thee; 425 838 from 427 838 hell's 429 838 heart 431 838 I 433 838 stab 435 838 at 437 838 thee; 439 838 for 441 838 hate's 443 838 sake 445 838 I 447 838 spit 449 838 my 451 838 last 453 838 breath 455 838 at 457 838 thee. 459 838 Sink 461 838 all 463 838 coffins 465 838 and 467 838 all 469 838 hearses 471 838 to 473 838 one 475 838 common 477 838 pool! 479 838 and 481 838 since 483 838 neither 485 838 can 487 838 be 489 838 mine, 491 838 let 493 838 me 495 838 then 497 838 tow 499 838 to 501 838 pieces, 503 838 while 505 838 still 507 838 chasing 509 838 thee, 511 838 though 513 838 tied 515 838 to 517 838 thee, 519 838 thou 521 838 damned 523 838 whale! 525 838 THUS, 527 838 I 529 838 give 531 838 up 533 838 the 535 838 spear!" 537 838 The 539 838 harpoon 541 838 was 543 838 darted; 545 838 the 547 838 stricken 549 838 whale 551 838 flew 553 838 forward; 555 838 with 557 838 igniting 559 838 velocity 561 838 the 563 838 line 565 838 ran 567 838 through 569 838 the 571 838 grooves;--ran 573 838 foul. 575 838 Ahab 577 838 stooped 579 838 to 581 838 clear 583 838 it; 585 838 he 587 838 did 589 838 clear 591 838 it; 593 838 but 595 838 the 597 838 flying 599 838 turn 601 838 caught 603 838 him 605 838 round 607 838 the 609 838 neck, 611 838 and 613 838 voicelessly 615 838 as 617 838 Turkish 619 838 mutes 621 838 bowstring 623 838 their 625 838 victim, 627 838 he 629 838 was 631 838 shot 633 838 out 635 838 of 637 838 the 639 838 boat, 641 838 ere 643 838 the 645 838 crew 647 838 knew 649 838 he 651 838 was 653 838 gone. 655 838 Next 657 838 instant, 659 838 the 661 838 heavy 663 838 eye-splice 665 838 in 667 838 the 669 838 rope's 671 838 final 673 838 end 675 838 flew 677 838 out 679 838 of 681 838 the 683 838 stark-empty 685 838 tub, 687 838 knocked 689 838 down 691 838 an 693 838 oarsman, 695 838 and 697 838 smiting 699 838 the 701 838 sea, 703 838 disappeared 705 838 in 707 838 its 709 838 depths. 711 838 For 713 838 an 715 838 instant, 717 838 the 719 838 tranced 721 838 boat's 723 838 crew 725 838 stood 727 838 still; 729 838 then 731 838 turned. 733 838 "The 735 838 ship? 737 838 Great 739 838 God, 741 838 where 743 838 is 745 838 the 747 838 ship?" 749 838 Soon 751 838 they 753 838 through 755 838 dim, 757 838 bewildering 759 838 mediums 761 838 saw 763 838 her 765 838 sidelong 767 838 fading 769 838 phantom, 771 838 as 773 838 in 775 838 the 777 838 gaseous 779 838 Fata 781 838 Morgana; 783 838 only 785 838 the 787 838 uppermost 789 838 masts 791 838 out 793 838 of 795 838 water; 797 838 while 799 838 fixed 801 838 by 803 838 infatuation, 805 838 or 807 838 fidelity, 809 838 or 811 838 fate, 813 838 to 815 838 their 817 838 once 819 838 lofty 821 838 perches, 823 838 the 825 838 pagan 827 838 harpooneers 829 838 still 831 838 maintained 833 838 their 835 838 sinking 837 838 lookouts 1 839 on 2 839 the 3 839 sea. 4 839 And 5 839 now, 6 839 concentric 7 839 circles 8 839 seized 9 839 the 10 839 lone 11 839 boat 12 839 itself, 13 839 and 14 839 all 15 839 its 16 839 crew, 17 839 and 18 839 each 19 839 floating 20 839 oar, 21 839 and 22 839 every 23 839 lance-pole, 24 839 and 25 839 spinning, 26 839 animate 27 839 and 28 839 inanimate, 29 839 all 30 839 round 31 839 and 32 839 round 33 839 in 34 839 one 35 839 vortex, 36 839 carried 37 839 the 38 839 smallest 39 839 chip 40 839 of 41 839 the 42 839 Pequod 43 839 out 44 839 of 45 839 sight. 46 839 But 47 839 as 48 839 the 49 839 last 50 839 whelmings 51 839 intermixingly 52 839 poured 53 839 themselves 54 839 over 55 839 the 56 839 sunken 57 839 head 58 839 of 59 839 the 60 839 Indian 61 839 at 62 839 the 63 839 mainmast, 64 839 leaving 65 839 a 66 839 few 67 839 inches 68 839 of 69 839 the 70 839 erect 71 839 spar 72 839 yet 73 839 visible, 74 839 together 75 839 with 76 839 long 77 839 streaming 78 839 yards 79 839 of 80 839 the 81 839 flag, 82 839 which 83 839 calmly 84 839 undulated, 85 839 with 86 839 ironical 87 839 coincidings, 88 839 over 89 839 the 90 839 destroying 91 839 billows 92 839 they 93 839 almost 94 839 touched;--at 95 839 that 96 839 instant, 97 839 a 98 839 red 99 839 arm 100 839 and 101 839 a 102 839 hammer 103 839 hovered 104 839 backwardly 105 839 uplifted 106 839 in 107 839 the 108 839 open 109 839 air, 110 839 in 111 839 the 112 839 act 113 839 of 114 839 nailing 115 839 the 116 839 flag 117 839 faster 118 839 and 119 839 yet 120 839 faster 121 839 to 122 839 the 123 839 subsiding 124 839 spar. 125 839 A 126 839 sky-hawk 127 839 that 128 839 tauntingly 129 839 had 130 839 followed 131 839 the 132 839 main-truck 133 839 downwards 134 839 from 135 839 its 136 839 natural 137 839 home 138 839 among 139 839 the 140 839 stars, 141 839 pecking 142 839 at 143 839 the 144 839 flag, 145 839 and 146 839 incommoding 147 839 Tashtego 148 839 there; 149 839 this 150 839 bird 151 839 now 152 839 chanced 153 839 to 154 839 intercept 155 839 its 156 839 broad 157 839 fluttering 158 839 wing 159 839 between 160 839 the 161 839 hammer 162 839 and 163 839 the 164 839 wood; 165 839 and 166 839 simultaneously 167 839 feeling 168 839 that 169 839 etherial 170 839 thrill, 171 839 the 172 839 submerged 173 839 savage 174 839 beneath, 175 839 in 176 839 his 177 839 death-gasp, 178 839 kept 179 839 his 180 839 hammer 181 839 frozen 182 839 there; 183 839 and 184 839 so 185 839 the 186 839 bird 187 839 of 188 839 heaven, 189 839 with 190 839 archangelic 191 839 shrieks, 192 839 and 193 839 his 194 839 imperial 195 839 beak 196 839 thrust 197 839 upwards, 198 839 and 199 839 his 200 839 whole 201 839 captive 202 839 form 203 839 folded 204 839 in 205 839 the 206 839 flag 207 839 of 208 839 Ahab, 209 839 went 210 839 down 211 839 with 212 839 his 213 839 ship, 214 839 which, 215 839 like 216 839 Satan, 217 839 would 218 839 not 219 839 sink 220 839 to 221 839 hell 222 839 till 223 839 she 224 839 had 225 839 dragged 226 839 a 227 839 living 228 839 part 229 839 of 230 839 heaven 231 839 along 232 839 with 233 839 her, 234 839 and 235 839 helmeted 236 839 herself 237 839 with 238 839 it. 239 839 Now 240 839 small 241 839 fowls 242 839 flew 243 839 screaming 244 839 over 245 839 the 246 839 yet 247 839 yawning 248 839 gulf; 249 839 a 250 839 sullen 251 839 white 252 839 surf 253 839 beat 254 839 against 255 839 its 256 839 steep 257 839 sides; 258 839 then 259 839 all 260 839 collapsed, 261 839 and 262 839 the 263 839 great 264 839 shroud 265 839 of 266 839 the 267 839 sea 268 839 rolled 269 839 on 270 839 as 271 839 it 272 839 rolled 273 839 five 274 839 thousand 275 839 years 276 839 ago. 277 839 Epilogue 278 839 "AND 279 839 I 280 839 ONLY 281 839 AM 282 839 ESCAPED 283 839 ALONE 284 839 TO 285 839 TELL 286 839 THEE" 287 839 Job. 288 839 The 289 839 drama's 290 839 done. 291 839 Why 292 839 then 293 839 here 294 839 does 295 839 any 296 839 one 297 839 step 298 839 forth?--Because 299 839 one 300 839 did 301 839 survive 302 839 the 303 839 wreck. 304 839 It 305 839 so 306 839 chanced, 307 839 that 308 839 after 309 839 the 310 839 Parsee's 311 839 disappearance, 312 839 I 313 839 was 314 839 he 315 839 whom 316 839 the 317 839 Fates 318 839 ordained 319 839 to 320 839 take 321 839 the 322 839 place 323 839 of 324 839 Ahab's 325 839 bowsman, 326 839 when 327 839 that 328 839 bowsman 329 839 assumed 330 839 the 331 839 vacant 332 839 post; 333 839 the 334 839 same, 335 839 who, 336 839 when 337 839 on 338 839 the 339 839 last 340 839 day 341 839 the 342 839 three 343 839 men 344 839 were 345 839 tossed 346 839 from 347 839 out 348 839 of 349 839 the 350 839 rocking 351 839 boat, 352 839 was 353 839 dropped 354 839 astern. 355 839 So, 356 839 floating 357 839 on 358 839 the 359 839 margin 360 839 of 361 839 the 362 839 ensuing 363 839 scene, 364 839 and 365 839 in 366 839 full 367 839 sight 368 839 of 369 839 it, 370 839 when 371 839 the 372 839 halfspent 373 839 suction 374 839 of 375 839 the 376 839 sunk 377 839 ship 378 839 reached 379 839 me, 380 839 I 381 839 was 382 839 then, 383 839 but 384 839 slowly, 385 839 drawn 386 839 towards 387 839 the 388 839 closing 389 839 vortex. 390 839 When 391 839 I 392 839 reached 393 839 it, 394 839 it 395 839 had 396 839 subsided 397 839 to 398 839 a 399 839 creamy 400 839 pool. 401 839 Round 402 839 and 403 839 round, 404 839 then, 405 839 and 406 839 ever 407 839 contracting 408 839 towards 409 839 the 410 839 button-like 411 839 black 412 839 bubble 413 839 at 414 839 the 415 839 axis 416 839 of 417 839 that 418 839 slowly 419 839 wheeling 420 839 circle, 421 839 like 422 839 another 423 839 Ixion 424 839 I 425 839 did 426 839 revolve. 427 839 Till, 428 839 gaining 429 839 that 430 839 vital 431 839 centre, 432 839 the 433 839 black 434 839 bubble 435 839 upward 436 839 burst; 437 839 and 438 839 now, 439 839 liberated 440 839 by 441 839 reason 442 839 of 443 839 its 444 839 cunning 445 839 spring, 446 839 and, 447 839 owing 448 839 to 449 839 its 450 839 great 451 839 buoyancy, 452 839 rising 453 839 with 454 839 great 455 839 force, 456 839 the 457 839 coffin 458 839 life-buoy 459 839 shot 460 839 lengthwise 461 839 from 462 839 the 463 839 sea, 464 839 fell 465 839 over, 466 839 and 467 839 floated 468 839 by 469 839 my 470 839 side. 471 839 Buoyed 472 839 up 473 839 by 474 839 that 475 839 coffin, 476 839 for 477 839 almost 478 839 one 479 839 whole 480 839 day 481 839 and 482 839 night, 483 839 I 484 839 floated 485 839 on 486 839 a 487 839 soft 488 839 and 489 839 dirgelike 490 839 main. 491 839 The 492 839 unharming 493 839 sharks, 494 839 they 495 839 glided 496 839 by 497 839 as 498 839 if 499 839 with 500 839 padlocks 501 839 on 502 839 their 503 839 mouths; 504 839 the 505 839 savage 506 839 sea-hawks 507 839 sailed 508 839 with 509 839 sheathed 510 839 beaks. 511 839 On 512 839 the 513 839 second 514 839 day, 515 839 a 516 839 sail 517 839 drew 518 839 near, 519 839 nearer, 520 839 and 521 839 picked 522 839 me 523 839 up 524 839 at 525 839 last. 526 839 It 527 839 was 528 839 the 529 839 devious-cruising 530 839 Rachel, 531 839 that 532 839 in 533 839 her 534 839 retracing 535 839 search 536 839 after 537 839 her 538 839 missing 539 839 children, 540 839 only 541 839 found 542 839 another 543 839 orphan. 544 839 End 545 839 of 546 839 this 547 839 Project 548 839 Gutenberg 549 839 etext 550 839 of 551 839 Moby 552 839 Dick, 553 839 by 554 839 Herman 555 839 Melville
