'
Best
not
,
'
hissed
the
Lakeman
.
"
'
But
I
must
,
'
--
and
the
rope
was
once
more
drawn
back
for
the
stroke
.
"
Steelkilt
here
hissed
out
something
,
inaudible
to
all
but
the
Captain
;
who
,
to
the
amazement
of
all
hands
,
started
back
,
paced
the
deck
rapidly
two
or
three
times
,
and
then
suddenly
throwing
down
his
rope
,
said
,
'
I
wo
n't
do
it
--
let
him
go
--
cut
him
down
:
d'ye
hear
?
'
But
as
the
junior
mates
were
hurrying
to
execute
the
order
,
a
pale
man
,
with
a
bandaged
head
,
arrested
them
--
Radney
the
chief
mate
.
Ever
since
the
blow
,
he
had
lain
in
his
berth
;
but
that
morning
,
hearing
the
tumult
on
the
deck
,
he
had
crept
out
,
and
thus
far
had
watched
the
whole
scene
.
Such
was
the
state
of
his
mouth
,
that
he
could
hardly
speak
;
but
mumbling
something
about
his
being
willing
and
able
to
do
what
the
captain
dared
not
attempt
,
he
snatched
the
rope
and
advanced
to
his
pinioned
foe
.
"
'
You
are
a
coward
!
'
hissed
the
Lakeman
.
"
'S
o
I
am
,
but
take
that
.
'
The
mate
was
in
the
very
act
of
striking
,
when
another
hiss
stayed
his
uplifted
arm
.
He
paused
:
and
then
pausing
no
more
,
made
good
his
word
,
spite
of
Steelkilt
's
threat
,
whatever
that
might
have
been
.
The
three
men
were
then
cut
down
,
all
hands
were
turned
to
,
and
,
sullenly
worked
by
the
moody
seamen
,
the
iron
pumps
clanged
as
before
.
"
Just
after
dark
that
day
,
when
one
watch
had
retired
below
,
a
clamor
was
heard
in
the
forecastle
;
and
the
two
trembling
traitors
running
up
,
besieged
the
cabin
door
,
saying
they
durst
not
consort
with
the
crew
.
Entreaties
,
cuffs
,
and
kicks
could
not
drive
them
back
,
so
at
their
own
instance
they
were
put
down
in
the
ship
's
run
for
salvation
.
Still
,
no
sign
of
mutiny
reappeared
among
the
rest
.
On
the
contrary
,
it
seemed
,
that
mainly
at
Steelkilt
's
instigation
,
they
had
resolved
to
maintain
the
strictest
peacefulness
,
obey
all
orders
to
the
last
,
and
,
when
the
ship
reached
port
,
desert
her
in
a
body
.
But
in
order
to
insure
the
speediest
end
to
the
voyage
,
they
all
agreed
to
another
thing
--
namely
,
not
to
sing
out
for
whales
,
in
case
any
should
be
discovered
.
For
,
spite
her
leak
,
and
spite
of
all
her
other
perils
,
the
Town-Ho
still
maintained
her
mast-heads
,
and
her
captain
was
just
as
willing
to
lower
for
a
fish
that
moment
,
as
on
the
day
his
craft
struck
the
cruising
ground
;
and
Radney
the
mate
was
quite
as
ready
to
change
his
berth
for
a
boat
,
and
with
his
bandaged
mouth
seek
to
gag
in
death
the
vital
jaw
of
the
whale
.
"
But
though
the
Lakeman
had
induced
the
seamen
to
adopt
this
sort
of
passiveness
in
their
conduct
,
he
kept
his
own
counsel
(
at
least
till
all
was
over
)
concerning
his
own
proper
and
private
revenge
upon
the
man
who
had
stung
him
in
the
ventricles
of
his
heart
.
He
was
in
Radney
the
chief
mate
's
watch
;
and
as
if
the
infatuated
man
sought
to
run
more
than
half
way
to
meet
his
doom
,
after
the
scene
at
the
rigging
,
he
insisted
,
against
the
express
counsel
of
the
captain
,
upon
resuming
the
head
of
his
watch
at
night
.
Upon
this
,
and
one
or
two
other
circumstances
,
Steelkilt
systematically
built
the
plan
of
his
revenge
.
"
During
the
night
,
Radney
had
an
unseaman-like
way
of
sitting
on
the
bulwarks
of
the
quarterdeck
,
and
leaning
his
arm
upon
the
gunwale
of
the
boat
which
was
hoisted
up
there
,
a
little
above
the
ship
's
side
.
In
this
attitude
,
it
was
well
known
,
he
sometimes
dozed
.
There
was
a
considerable
vacancy
between
the
boat
and
the
ship
,
and
down
between
this
was
the
sea
.
Steelkilt
calculated
his
time
,
and
found
that
his
next
trick
at
the
helm
would
come
round
at
two
o'clock
,
in
the
morning
of
the
third
day
from
that
in
which
he
had
been
betrayed
.
At
his
leisure
,
he
employed
the
interval
in
braiding
something
very
carefully
in
his
watches
below
.
