But
what
it
was
that
inscrutable
Ahab
said
to
that
tiger-yellow
crew
of
his
--
these
were
words
best
omitted
here
;
for
you
live
under
the
blessed
light
of
the
evangelical
land
.
Only
the
infidel
sharks
in
the
audacious
seas
may
give
ear
to
such
words
,
when
,
with
tornado
brow
,
and
eyes
of
red
murder
,
and
foam-glued
lips
,
Ahab
leaped
after
his
prey
.
Meanwhile
,
all
the
boats
tore
on
.
The
repeated
specific
allusions
of
Flask
to
"
that
whale
,
"
as
he
called
the
fictitious
monster
which
he
declared
to
be
incessantly
tantalizing
his
boat
's
bow
with
its
tail
--
these
allusions
of
his
were
at
times
so
vivid
and
life-like
,
that
they
would
cause
some
one
or
two
of
his
men
to
snatch
a
fearful
look
over
his
shoulder
.
But
this
was
against
all
rule
;
for
the
oarsmen
must
put
out
their
eyes
,
and
ram
a
skewer
through
their
necks
;
usages
announcing
that
they
must
have
no
organs
but
ears
;
and
no
limbs
but
arms
,
in
these
critical
moments
.
It
was
a
sight
full
of
quick
wonder
and
awe
!
The
vast
swells
of
the
omnipotent
sea
;
the
surging
,
hollow
roar
they
made
,
as
they
rolled
along
the
eight
gunwales
,
like
gigantic
bowls
in
a
boundless
bowling-green
;
the
brief
suspended
agony
of
the
boat
,
as
it
would
tip
for
an
instant
on
the
knife-like
edge
of
the
sharper
waves
,
that
almost
seemed
threatening
to
cut
it
in
two
;
the
sudden
profound
dip
into
the
watery
glens
and
hollows
;
the
keen
spurrings
and
goadings
to
gain
the
top
of
the
opposite
hill
;
the
headlong
,
sled-like
slide
down
its
other
side
;
--
all
these
,
with
the
cries
of
the
headsmen
and
harpooneers
,
and
the
shuddering
gasps
of
the
oarsmen
,
with
the
wondrous
sight
of
the
ivory
Pequod
bearing
down
upon
her
boats
with
outstretched
sails
,
like
a
wild
hen
after
her
screaming
brood
;
--
all
this
was
thrilling
.
Not
the
raw
recruit
,
marching
from
the
bosom
of
his
wife
into
the
fever
heat
of
his
first
battle
;
not
the
dead
man
's
host
encountering
the
first
unknown
phantom
in
the
other
world
;
--
neither
of
these
can
feel
stranger
and
stronger
emotions
than
that
man
does
,
who
for
the
first
time
finds
himself
pulling
into
the
charmed
,
churned
circle
of
the
hunted
sperm
whale
.

The
dancing
white
water
made
by
the
chase
was
now
becoming
more
and
more
visible
,
owing
to
the
increasing
darkness
of
the
dun
cloud-shadows
flung
upon
the
sea
.
The
jets
of
vapor
no
longer
blended
,
but
tilted
everywhere
to
right
and
left
;
the
whales
seemed
separating
their
wakes
.
The
boats
were
pulled
more
apart
;
Starbuck
giving
chase
to
three
whales
running
dead
to
leeward
.
Our
sail
was
now
set
,
and
,
with
the
still
rising
wind
,
we
rushed
along
;
the
boat
going
with
such
madness
through
the
water
,
that
the
lee
oars
could
scarcely
be
worked
rapidly
enough
to
escape
being
torn
from
the
row-locks
.
Soon
we
were
running
through
a
suffusing
wide
veil
of
mist
;
neither
ship
nor
boat
to
be
seen
.
"
Give
way
,
men
,
"
whispered
Starbuck
,
drawing
still
further
aft
the
sheet
of
his
sail
;
"
there
is
time
to
kill
a
fish
yet
before
the
squall
comes
.
There
's
white
water
again
!
--
close
to
!
Spring
!

Soon
after
,
two
cries
in
quick
succession
on
each
side
of
us
denoted
that
the
other
boats
had
got
fast
;
but
hardly
were
they
overheard
,
when
with
a
lightning-like
hurtling
whisper
Starbuck
said
:
"
Stand
up
!
"
and
Queequeg
,
harpoon
in
hand
,
sprang
to
his
feet
.
Though
not
one
of
the
oarsmen
was
then
facing
the
life
and
death
peril
so
close
to
them
ahead
,
yet
with
their
eyes
on
the
intense
countenance
of
the
mate
in
the
stern
of
the
boat
,
they
knew
that
the
imminent
instant
had
come
;
they
heard
,
too
,
an
enormous
wallowing
sound
as
of
fifty
elephants
stirring
in
their
litter
.
Meanwhile
the
boat
was
still
booming
through
the
mist
,
the
waves
curling
and
hissing
around
us
like
the
erected
crests
of
enraged
serpents
.
"
That
's
his
hump
.
There
,
there
,
give
it
to
him
!
"
whispered
Starbuck
.
