Mr.
Stubb
,
"
said
I
,
turning
to
that
worthy
,
who
,
buttoned
up
in
his
oil-jacket
,
was
now
calmly
smoking
his
pipe
in
the
rain
;
"
Mr.
Stubb
,
I
think
I
have
heard
you
say
that
of
all
whalemen
you
ever
met
,
our
chief
mate
,
Mr.
Starbuck
,
is
by
far
the
most
careful
and
prudent
.
I
suppose
then
,
that
going
plump
on
a
flying
whale
with
your
sail
set
in
a
foggy
squall
is
the
height
of
a
whaleman
's
discretion
?
"
"
Certain
.
I
've
lowered
for
whales
from
a
leaking
ship
in
a
gale
off
Cape
Horn
.
"
"
Mr.
Flask
,
"
said
I
,
turning
to
little
King-Post
,
who
was
standing
close
by
;
"
you
are
experienced
in
these
things
,
and
I
am
not
.
Will
you
tell
me
whether
it
is
an
unalterable
law
in
this
fishery
,
Mr.
Flask
,
for
an
oarsman
to
break
his
own
back
pulling
himself
back-foremost
into
death
's
jaws
?
"
"
Ca
n't
you
twist
that
smaller
?
"
said
Flask
.
"
Yes
,
that
's
the
law
.
I
should
like
to
see
a
boat
's
crew
backing
water
up
to
a
whale
face
foremost
.
Ha
,
ha
!
the
whale
would
give
them
squint
for
squint
,
mind
that
!
"
Here
then
,
from
three
impartial
witnesses
,
I
had
a
deliberate
statement
of
the
entire
case
.
Considering
,
therefore
,
that
squalls
and
capsizings
in
the
water
and
consequent
bivouacks
on
the
deep
,
were
matters
of
common
occurrence
in
this
kind
of
life
;
considering
that
at
the
superlatively
critical
instant
of
going
on
to
the
whale
I
must
resign
my
life
into
the
hands
of
him
who
steered
the
boat
--
oftentimes
a
fellow
who
at
that
very
moment
is
in
his
impetuousness
upon
the
point
of
scuttling
the
craft
with
his
own
frantic
stampings
;
considering
that
the
particular
disaster
to
our
own
particular
boat
was
chiefly
to
be
imputed
to
Starbuck
's
driving
on
to
his
whale
almost
in
the
teeth
of
a
squall
,
and
considering
that
Starbuck
,
notwithstanding
,
was
famous
for
his
great
heedfulness
in
the
fishery
;
considering
that
I
belonged
to
this
uncommonly
prudent
Starbuck
's
boat
;
and
finally
considering
in
what
a
devil
's
chase
I
was
implicated
,
touching
the
White
Whale
:
taking
all
things
together
,
I
say
,
I
thought
I
might
as
well
go
below
and
make
a
rough
draft
of
my
will
.
"
Queequeg
,
"
said
I
,
"
come
along
,
you
shall
be
my
lawyer
,
executor
,
and
legatee
.
"
It
may
seem
strange
that
of
all
men
sailors
should
be
tinkering
at
their
last
wills
and
testaments
,
but
there
are
no
people
in
the
world
more
fond
of
that
diversion
.
This
was
the
fourth
time
in
my
nautical
life
that
I
had
done
the
same
thing
.
After
the
ceremony
was
concluded
upon
the
present
occasion
,
I
felt
all
the
easier
;
a
stone
was
rolled
away
from
my
heart
Besides
,
all
the
days
I
should
now
live
would
be
as
good
as
the
days
that
Lazarus
lived
after
his
resurrection
;
a
supplementary
clean
gain
of
so
many
months
or
weeks
as
the
case
may
be
.
I
survived
myself
;
my
death
and
burial
were
locked
up
in
my
chest
.
I
looked
round
me
tranquilly
and
contentedly
,
like
a
quiet
ghost
with
a
clean
conscience
sitting
inside
the
bars
of
a
snug
family
vault
.
Now
then
,
thought
I
,
unconsciously
rolling
up
the
sleeves
of
my
frock
,
here
goes
for
a
cool
,
collected
dive
at
death
and
destruction
,
and
the
devil
fetch
the
hindmost
.
"
Who
would
have
thought
it
,
Flask
!
"
cried
Stubb
;
"
if
I
had
but
one
leg
you
would
not
catch
me
in
a
boat
,
unless
maybe
to
stop
the
plug-hole
with
my
timber
toe
.
Oh
!
he
's
a
wonderful
old
man
!
"
