While
still
warm
,
the
oil
,
like
hot
punch
,
is
received
into
the
six-barrel
casks
;
and
while
,
perhaps
,
the
ship
is
pitching
and
rolling
this
way
and
that
in
the
midnight
sea
,
the
enormous
casks
are
slewed
round
and
headed
over
,
end
for
end
,
and
sometimes
perilously
scoot
across
the
slippery
deck
,
like
so
many
land
slides
,
till
at
last
man-handled
and
stayed
in
their
course
;
and
all
round
the
hoops
,
rap
,
rap
,
go
as
many
hammers
as
can
play
upon
them
,
for
now
,
ex
officio
,
every
sailor
is
a
cooper
.
At
length
,
when
the
last
pint
is
casked
,
and
all
is
cool
,
then
the
great
hatchways
are
unsealed
,
the
bowels
of
the
ship
are
thrown
open
,
and
down
go
the
casks
to
their
final
rest
in
the
sea
.
This
done
,
the
hatches
are
replaced
,
and
hermetically
closed
,
like
a
closet
walled
up
.
In
the
sperm
fishery
,
this
is
perhaps
one
of
the
most
remarkable
incidents
in
all
the
business
of
whaling
.
One
day
the
planks
stream
with
freshets
of
blood
and
oil
;
on
the
sacred
quarter-deck
enormous
masses
of
the
whale
's
head
are
profanely
piled
;
great
rusty
casks
lie
about
,
as
in
a
brewery
yard
;
the
smoke
from
the
try-works
has
besooted
all
the
bulwarks
;
the
mariners
go
about
suffused
with
unctuousness
;
the
entire
ship
seems
great
leviathan
himself
;
while
on
all
hands
the
din
is
deafening
.

But
a
day
or
two
after
,
you
look
about
you
,
and
prick
your
ears
in
this
self-same
ship
!
and
were
it
not
for
the
tell-tale
boats
and
try-works
,
you
would
all
but
swear
you
trod
some
silent
merchant
vessel
,
with
a
most
scrupulously
neat
commander
.
The
unmanufactured
sperm
oil
possesses
a
singularly
cleansing
virtue
.
This
is
the
reason
why
the
decks
never
look
so
white
as
just
after
what
they
call
an
affair
of
oil
.
Besides
,
from
the
ashes
of
the
burned
scraps
of
the
whale
,
a
potent
lye
is
readily
made
;
and
whenever
any
adhesiveness
from
the
back
of
the
whale
remains
clinging
to
the
side
,
that
lye
quickly
exterminates
it
.
Hands
go
diligently
along
the
bulwarks
,
and
with
buckets
of
water
and
rags
restore
them
to
their
full
tidiness
.
The
soot
is
brushed
from
the
lower
rigging
.
All
the
numerous
implements
which
have
been
in
use
are
likewise
faithfully
cleansed
and
put
away
.
The
great
hatch
is
scrubbed
and
placed
upon
the
try-works
,
completely
hiding
the
pots
;
every
cask
is
out
of
sight
;
all
tackles
are
coiled
in
unseen
nooks
;
and
when
by
the
combined
and
,
simultaneous
industry
of
almost
the
entire
ship
's
company
,
the
whole
of
this
conscientious
duty
is
at
last
concluded
,
then
the
crew
themselves
proceed
to
their
own
ablutions
;
shift
themselves
from
top
to
toe
;
and
finally
issue
to
the
immaculate
deck
,
fresh
and
all
aglow
as
bridegrooms
new-leaped
from
out
the
daintiest
Holland
.
Now
,
with
elated
step
,
they
pace
the
planks
in
twos
and
threes
,
and
humorously
discourse
of
parlors
,
sofas
,
carpets
,
and
fine
cambrics
;
propose
to
mat
the
deck
;
think
of
having
hanging
to
the
top
;
object
not
to
taking
tea
by
moonlight
on
the
piazza
of
the
forecastle
.
To
hint
to
such
musked
mariners
of
oil
,
and
bone
,
and
blubber
,
were
little
short
of
audacity
.
They
know
not
the
thing
you
distantly
allude
to
.
Away
,
and
bring
us
napkins
!
But
mark
:
aloft
there
,
at
the
three
mast
heads
,
stand
three
men
intent
on
spying
out
more
whales
,
which
,
if
caught
,
infallibly
will
again
soil
the
old
oaken
furniture
,
and
drop
at
least
one
small
grease-spot
somewhere

Yes
;
and
many
is
the
time
,
when
,
after
the
severest
uninterrupted
labors
,
which
know
no
night
;
continuing
straight
through
for
ninety-six
hours
;
when
from
the
boat
,
where
they
have
swelled
their
wrists
with
all
day
rowing
on
the
Line
--
they
only
step
to
the
deck
to
carry
vast
chains
,
and
heave
the
heavy
windlass
,
and
cut
and
slash
,
yea
,
and
in
their
very
sweatings
to
be
smoked
and
burned
anew
by
the
combined
fires
of
the
equatorial
sun
and
the
equatorial
try-works
;
when
,
on
the
heel
of
all
this
,
they
have
finally
bestirred
themselves
to
cleanse
the
ship
,
and
make
a
spotless
dairy
room
of
it
;
many
is
the
time
the
poor
fellows
,
just
buttoning
the
necks
of
their
clean
frocks
,
are
startled
by
the
cry
of
"
There
she
blows
!
"
and
away
they
fly
to
fight
another
whale
,
and
go
through
the
whole
weary
thing
again
.
Oh
!
my
friends
,
but
this
is
man-killing
!
Yet
this
is
life
.
For
hardly
have
we
mortals
by
long
toilings
extracted
from
this
world
's
vast
bulk
its
small
but
valuable
sperm
;
and
then
,
with
weary
patience
,
cleansed
ourselves
from
its
defilements
,
and
learned
to
live
here
in
clean
tabernacles
of
the
soul
;
hardly
is
this
done
,
when
--
There
she
blows
!
--
the
ghost
is
spouted
up
,
and
away
we
sail
to
fight
some
other
world
,
and
go
through
young
life
's
old
routine
again
.
Oh
!
the
metempsychosis
!
Oh
!
Pythagoras
,
that
in
bright
Greece
,
two
thousand
years
ago
,
did
die
,
so
good
,
so
wise
,
so
mild
;
I
sailed
with
thee
along
the
Peruvian
coast
last
voyage
--
and
,
foolish
as
I
am
,
taught
thee
,
a
green
simple
boy
,
how
to
splice
a
rope
.
Ere
now
it
has
been
related
how
Ahab
was
wont
to
pace
his
quarter-deck
,
taking
regular
turns
at
either
limit
,
the
binnacle
and
mainmast
;
but
in
the
multiplicity
of
other
things
requiring
narration
it
has
not
been
added
how
that
sometimes
in
these
walks
,
when
most
plunged
in
his
mood
,
he
was
wont
to
pause
in
turn
at
each
spot
,
and
stand
there
strangely
eyeing
the
particular
object
before
him
.
When
he
halted
before
the
binnacle
,
with
his
glance
fastened
on
the
pointed
needle
in
the
compass
,
that
glance
shot
like
a
javelin
with
the
pointed
intensity
of
his
purpose
;
and
when
resuming
his
walk
he
again
paused
before
the
mainmast
,
then
,
as
the
same
riveted
glance
fastened
upon
the
riveted
gold
coin
there
,
he
still
wore
the
same
aspect
of
nailed
firmness
,
only
dashed
with
a
certain
wild
longing
,
if
not
hopefulness
.
