Sail
ho
!
"
cried
a
triumphant
voice
from
the
main-mast-head
"
Aye
?
Well
,
now
,
that
's
cheering
,
"
cried
Ahab
,
suddenly
erecting
himself
,
while
whole
thunder-clouds
swept
aside
from
his
brow
.
"
That
lively
cry
upon
this
deadly
calm
might
almost
convert
a
better
man
.
--
Where
away
?
"
"
Three
points
on
the
starboard
bow
,
sir
,
and
bringing
down
her
breeze
to
us
!
"
Better
and
better
,
man
.
Would
now
St.
Paul
would
come
along
that
way
,
and
to
my
breezelessness
bring
his
breeze
!
O
Nature
,
and
O
soul
of
man
!
how
far
beyond
all
utterance
are
your
linked
analogies
;
not
the
smallest
atom
stirs
or
lives
on
matter
,
but
has
its
cunning
duplicate
in
mind
.
"
Hand
in
hand
,
ship
and
breeze
blew
on
;
but
the
breeze
came
faster
than
the
ship
,
and
soon
the
Pequod
began
to
rock
.
By
and
by
,
through
the
glass
the
stranger
's
boats
and
manned
mast-heads
proved
her
a
whale-ship
.
But
as
she
was
so
far
to
windward
,
and
shooting
by
,
apparently
making
a
passage
to
some
other
ground
,
the
Pequod
could
not
hope
to
reach
her
.
So
the
signal
was
set
to
see
what
response
would
be
made
.
Here
be
it
said
,
that
like
the
vessels
of
military
marines
,
the
ships
of
the
American
Whale
Fleet
have
each
a
private
signal
;
all
which
signals
being
collected
in
a
book
with
the
names
of
the
respective
vessels
attached
,
every
captain
is
provided
with
it
.
Thereby
,
the
whale
commanders
are
enabled
to
recognise
each
other
upon
the
ocean
,
even
at
considerable
distance
,
and
with
no
small
facility
.
The
Pequod
's
signal
was
at
last
responded
to
by
the
stranger
's
setting
her
own
;
which
proved
the
ship
to
be
the
Jeroboam
of
Nantucket
.
Squaring
her
yards
,
she
bore
down
,
ranged
abeam
under
the
Pequod
's
lee
,
and
lowered
a
boat
;
it
soon
drew
nigh
;
but
,
as
the
side-ladder
was
being
rigged
by
Starbuck
's
order
to
accommodate
the
visiting
captain
,
the
stranger
in
question
waved
his
hand
from
his
boat
's
stern
in
token
of
that
proceeding
being
entirely
unnecessary
.
It
turned
out
that
the
Jeroboam
had
a
malignant
epidemic
on
board
,
and
that
Mayhew
,
her
captain
,
was
fearful
of
infecting
the
Pequod
's
company
.
For
,
though
himself
and
the
boat
's
crew
remained
untainted
,
and
though
his
ship
was
half
a
rifle-shot
off
,
and
an
incorruptible
sea
and
air
rolling
and
flowing
between
;
yet
conscientiously
adhering
to
the
timid
quarantine
of
the
land
,
he
peremptorily
refused
to
come
into
direct
contact
with
the
Pequod
.
But
this
did
by
no
means
prevent
all
communications
.
Preserving
an
interval
of
some
few
yards
between
itself
and
the
ship
,
the
Jeroboam
's
boat
by
the
occasional
use
of
its
oars
contrived
to
keep
parallel
to
the
Pequod
,
as
she
heavily
forged
through
the
sea
(
for
by
this
time
it
blew
very
fresh
)
,
with
her
main-topsail
aback
;
though
,
indeed
,
at
times
by
the
sudden
onset
of
a
large
rolling
wave
,
the
boat
would
be
pushed
some
way
ahead
;
but
would
be
soon
skilfully
brought
to
her
proper
bearings
again
.
Subject
to
this
,
and
other
the
like
interruptions
now
and
then
,
a
conversation
was
sustained
between
the
two
parties
;
but
at
intervals
not
without
still
another
interruption
of
a
very
different
sort
.
