Now
,
during
the
past
night
and
forenoon
,
the
Pequod
had
gradually
drifted
into
a
sea
,
which
,
by
its
occasional
patches
of
yellow
brit
,
gave
unusual
tokens
of
the
vicinity
of
Right
Whales
,
a
species
of
the
Leviathan
that
but
few
supposed
to
be
at
this
particular
time
lurking
anywhere
near
.
And
though
all
hands
commonly
disdained
the
capture
of
those
inferior
creatures
;
and
though
the
Pequod
was
not
commissioned
to
cruise
for
them
at
all
,
and
though
she
had
passed
numbers
of
them
near
the
Crozetts
without
lowering
a
boat
;
yet
now
that
a
Sperm
Whale
had
been
brought
alongside
and
beheaded
,
to
the
surprise
of
all
,
the
announcement
was
made
that
a
Right
Whale
should
be
captured
that
day
,
if
opportunity
offered
.
Nor
was
this
long
wanting
.
Tall
spouts
were
seen
to
leeward
;
and
two
boats
,
Stubb
's
and
Flask
's
,
were
detached
in
pursuit
.
Pulling
further
and
further
away
,
they
at
last
became
almost
invisible
to
the
men
at
the
masthead
.
But
suddenly
in
the
distance
,
they
saw
a
great
heap
of
tumultuous
white
water
,
and
soon
after
news
came
from
aloft
that
one
or
both
the
boats
must
be
fast
.
An
interval
passed
and
the
boats
were
in
plain
sight
,
in
the
act
of
being
dragged
right
towards
the
ship
by
the
towing
whale
.
So
close
did
the
monster
come
to
the
hull
,
that
at
first
it
seemed
as
if
he
meant
it
malice
;
but
suddenly
going
down
in
a
maelstrom
,
within
three
rods
of
the
planks
,
he
wholly
disappeared
from
view
,
as
if
diving
under
the
keel
.
"
Cut
,
cut
!
"
was
the
cry
from
the
ship
to
the
boats
,
which
,
for
one
instant
,
seemed
on
the
point
of
being
brought
with
a
deadly
dash
against
the
vessel
's
side
.
But
having
plenty
of
line
yet
in
the
tubs
,
and
the
whale
not
sounding
very
rapidly
,
they
paid
out
abundance
of
rope
,
and
at
the
same
time
pulled
with
all
their
might
so
as
to
get
ahead
of
the
ship
.
For
a
few
minutes
the
struggle
was
intensely
critical
;
for
while
they
still
slacked
out
the
tightened
line
in
one
direction
,
and
still
plied
their
oars
in
another
,
the
contending
strain
threatened
to
take
them
under
.
But
it
was
only
a
few
feet
advance
they
sought
to
gain
.
And
they
stuck
to
it
till
they
did
gain
it
;
when
instantly
,
a
swift
tremor
was
felt
running
like
lightning
along
the
keel
,
as
the
strained
line
,
scraping
beneath
the
ship
,
suddenly
rose
to
view
under
her
bows
,
snapping
and
quivering
;
and
so
flinging
off
its
drippings
,
that
the
drops
fell
like
bits
of
broken
glass
on
the
water
,
while
the
whale
beyond
also
rose
to
sight
,
and
once
more
the
boats
were
free
to
fly
.
But
the
fagged
whale
abated
his
speed
,
and
blindly
altering
his
course
,
went
round
the
stern
of
the
ship
towing
the
two
boats
after
him
,
so
that
they
performed
a
complete
circuit
.
Meantime
,
they
hauled
more
and
more
upon
their
lines
,
till
close
flanking
him
on
both
sides
,
Stubb
answered
Flask
with
lance
for
lance
;
and
thus
round
and
round
the
Pequod
the
battle
went
,
while
the
multitudes
of
sharks
that
had
before
swum
round
the
Sperm
Whale
's
body
,
rushed
to
the
fresh
blood
that
was
spilled
,
thirstily
drinking
at
every
new
gash
,
as
the
eager
Israelites
did
at
the
new
bursting
fountains
that
poured
from
the
smitten
rock
.
At
last
his
spout
grew
thick
,
and
with
a
frightful
roll
and
vomit
,
he
turned
upon
his
back
a
corpse
.
While
the
two
headsmen
were
engaged
in
making
fast
cords
to
his
flukes
,
and
in
other
ways
getting
the
mass
in
readiness
for
towing
,
some
conversation
ensued
between
them
.
"
I
wonder
what
the
old
man
wants
with
this
lump
of
foul
lard
,
"
said
Stubb
,
not
without
some
disgust
at
the
thought
of
having
to
do
with
so
ignoble
a
leviathan
.
"
Wants
with
it
?
"
said
Flask
,
coiling
some
spare
line
in
the
boat
's
bow
,
"
did
you
never
hear
that
the
ship
which
but
once
has
a
Sperm
Whale
's
head
hoisted
on
her
starboard
side
,
and
at
the
same
time
a
Right
Whale
's
on
the
larboard
;
did
you
never
hear
,
Stubb
,
that
that
ship
can
never
afterwards
capsize
?
"
"
Why
not
?
"
I
do
n't
know
,
but
I
heard
that
gamboge
ghost
of
a
Fedallah
saying
so
,
and
he
seems
to
know
all
about
ships
'
charms
.
But
I
sometimes
think
he
'll
charm
the
ship
to
no
good
at
last
.
I
do
n't
half
like
that
chap
,
Stubb
.
