But
as
he
sat
still
for
a
moment
,
and
as
he
steadfastly
looked
into
the
mate
's
malignant
eye
and
perceived
the
stacks
of
powder-casks
heaped
up
in
him
and
the
slow-match
silently
burning
along
towards
them
;
as
he
instinctively
saw
all
this
,
that
strange
forbearance
and
unwillingness
to
stir
up
the
deeper
passionateness
in
any
already
ireful
being
--
a
repugnance
most
felt
,
when
felt
at
all
,
by
really
valiant
men
even
when
aggrieved
--
this
nameless
phantom
feeling
,
gentlemen
,
stole
over
Steelkilt
.
"
Therefore
,
in
his
ordinary
tone
,
only
a
little
broken
by
the
bodily
exhaustion
he
was
temporarily
in
,
he
answered
him
saying
that
sweeping
the
deck
was
not
his
business
,
and
he
would
not
do
it
.
And
then
,
without
at
all
alluding
to
the
shovel
,
he
pointed
to
three
lads
,
as
the
customary
sweepers
;
who
,
not
being
billeted
at
the
pumps
,
had
done
little
or
nothing
all
day
.
To
this
,
Radney
replied
,
with
an
oath
,
in
a
most
domineering
and
outrageous
manner
unconditionally
reiterating
his
command
;
meanwhile
advancing
upon
the
still
seated
Lakeman
,
with
an
unlifted
cooper
's
club
hammer
which
he
had
snatched
from
a
cask
near
by
.
"
Heated
and
irritated
as
he
was
by
his
spasmodic
toil
at
the
pumps
,
for
all
his
first
nameless
feeling
of
forbearance
the
sweating
Steelkilt
could
but
ill
brook
this
bearing
in
the
mate
;
but
somehow
still
smothering
the
conflagration
within
him
,
without
speaking
he
remained
doggedly
rooted
to
his
seat
,
till
at
last
the
incensed
Radney
shook
the
hammer
within
a
few
inches
of
his
face
,
furiously
commanding
him
to
do
his
bidding
.
"
Steelkilt
rose
,
and
slowly
retreating
round
the
windless
,
steadily
followed
by
the
mate
with
his
menacing
hammer
,
deliberately
repeated
his
intention
not
to
obey
.
Seeing
,
however
,
that
his
forbearance
had
not
the
slightest
effect
,
by
an
awful
and
unspeakable
intimation
with
his
twisted
hand
he
warned
off
the
foolish
and
infatuated
man
;
but
it
was
to
no
purpose
.
And
in
this
way
the
two
went
once
slowly
round
the
windlass
;
when
,
resolved
at
last
no
longer
to
retreat
,
bethinking
him
that
he
had
now
forborne
as
much
as
comported
with
his
humor
,
the
Lakeman
paused
on
the
hatches
and
thus
spoke
to
the
officer
:
"
'M
r.
Radney
,
I
will
not
obey
you
.
Take
that
hammer
away
,
or
look
to
yourself
.
'
But
the
predestinated
mate
coming
still
closer
to
him
,
where
the
Lakeman
stood
fixed
,
now
shook
the
heavy
hammer
within
an
inch
of
his
teeth
;
meanwhile
repeating
a
string
of
insufferable
maledictions
.
Retreating
not
the
thousandth
part
of
an
inch
;
stabbing
him
in
the
eye
with
the
unflinching
poniard
of
his
glance
,
Steelkilt
,
clenching
his
right
hand
behind
him
and
creepingly
drawing
it
back
,
told
his
persecutor
that
if
the
hammer
but
grazed
his
cheek
he
(
Steelkilt
)
would
murder
him
.
But
,
gentlemen
,
the
fool
had
been
branded
for
the
slaughter
by
the
gods
.
Immediately
the
hammer
touched
the
cheek
;
the
next
instant
the
lower
jaw
of
the
mate
was
stove
in
his
head
;
he
fell
on
the
hatch
spouting
blood
like
a
whale
.
"
Ere
the
cry
could
go
aft
Steelkilt
was
shaking
one
of
the
backstays
leading
far
aloft
to
where
two
of
his
comrades
were
standing
their
mastheads
.
They
were
both
Canallers
.
"
'
Canallers
!
'
cried
Don
Pedro
.
'
We
have
seen
many
whaleships
in
our
harbors
,
but
never
heard
of
your
Canallers
.
Pardon
:
who
and
what
are
they
?
'
"
'
Canallers
,
Don
,
are
the
boatmen
belonging
to
our
grand
Erie
Canal
.
You
must
have
heard
of
it
.
'
"
'N
ay
,
Senor
;
hereabouts
in
this
dull
,
warm
,
most
lazy
,
and
hereditary
land
,
we
know
but
little
of
your
vigorous
North
.
'
"
'
Aye
?
Well
then
,
Don
,
refill
my
cup
.
Your
chicha
's
very
fine
;
and
ere
proceeding
further
I
will
tell
ye
what
our
Canallers
are
;
for
such
information
may
throw
side-light
upon
my
story
.
