At
one
time
the
greatest
whaling
people
in
the
world
,
the
Dutch
and
Germans
are
now
among
the
least
;
but
here
and
there
at
very
wide
intervals
of
latitude
and
longitude
,
you
still
occasionally
meet
with
their
flag
in
the
Pacific
.
For
some
reason
,
the
Jungfrau
seemed
quite
eager
to
pay
her
respects
.
While
yet
some
distance
from
the
Pequod
,
she
rounded
to
,
and
dropping
a
boat
,
her
captain
was
impelled
towards
us
,
impatiently
standing
in
the
bows
instead
of
the
stern
.
"
What
has
he
in
his
hand
there
?
"
cried
Starbuck
,
pointing
to
something
wavingly
held
by
the
German
.
"
Impossible
!
--
a
lamp-feeder
!
"
"
Not
that
,
"
said
Stubb
,
"
no
,
no
,
it
's
a
coffee-pot
,
Mr.
Starbuck
;
he
's
coming
off
to
make
us
our
coffee
,
is
the
Yarman
;
do
n't
you
see
that
big
tin
can
there
alongside
of
him
?
--
that
's
his
boiling
water
.
Oh
!
he
's
all
right
,
is
the
Yarman
.
"
"
Go
along
with
you
,
"
cried
Flask
,
"
it
's
a
lamp-feeder
and
an
oil-can
.
He
's
out
of
oil
,
and
has
come
a-begging
.
"
However
curious
it
may
seem
for
an
oil-ship
to
be
borrowing
oil
on
the
whale-ground
,
and
however
much
it
may
invertedly
contradict
the
old
proverb
about
carrying
coals
to
Newcastle
,
yet
sometimes
such
a
thing
really
happens
;
and
in
the
present
case
Captain
Derick
De
Deer
did
indubitably
conduct
a
lamp-feeder
as
Flask
did
declare
.
As
he
mounted
the
deck
,
Ahab
abruptly
accosted
him
,
without
at
all
heeding
what
he
had
in
his
hand
;
but
in
his
broken
lingo
,
the
German
soon
evinced
his
complete
ignorance
of
the
White
Whale
;
immediately
turning
the
conversation
to
his
lamp-feeder
and
oil
can
,
with
some
remarks
touching
his
having
to
turn
into
his
hammock
at
night
in
profound
darkness
--
his
last
drop
of
Bremen
oil
being
gone
,
and
not
a
single
flying-fish
yet
captured
to
supply
the
deficiency
;
concluding
by
hinting
that
his
ship
was
indeed
what
in
the
Fishery
is
technically
called
a
clean
one
(
that
is
,
an
empty
one
)
,
well
deserving
the
name
of
Jungfrau
or
the
Virgin
.
His
necessities
supplied
,
Derick
departed
;
but
he
had
not
gained
his
ship
's
side
,
when
whales
were
almost
simultaneously
raised
from
the
mast-heads
of
both
vessels
;
and
so
eager
for
the
chase
was
Derick
,
that
without
pausing
to
put
his
oil-can
and
lamp-feeder
aboard
,
he
slewed
round
his
boat
and
made
after
the
leviathan
lamp-feeders
.
Now
,
the
game
having
risen
to
leeward
,
he
and
the
other
three
German
boats
that
soon
followed
him
,
had
considerably
the
start
of
the
Pequod
's
keels
.
There
were
eight
whales
,
an
average
pod
.
Aware
of
their
danger
,
they
were
going
all
abreast
with
great
speed
straight
before
the
wind
,
rubbing
their
flanks
as
closely
as
so
many
spans
of
horses
in
harness
.
They
left
a
great
,
wide
wake
,
as
though
continually
unrolling
a
great
wide
parchment
upon
the
sea
.
Full
in
this
rapid
wake
,
and
many
fathoms
in
the
rear
,
swam
a
huge
,
humped
old
bull
,
which
by
his
comparatively
slow
progress
,
as
well
as
by
the
unusual
yellowish
incrustations
over-growing
him
,
seemed
afflicted
with
the
jaundice
,
or
some
other
infirmity
.
Whether
this
whale
belonged
to
the
pod
in
advance
,
seemed
questionable
;
for
it
is
not
customary
for
such
venerable
leviathans
to
be
at
all
social
.
Nevertheless
,
he
stuck
to
their
wake
,
though
indeed
their
back
water
must
have
retarded
him
,
because
the
white-bone
or
swell
at
his
broad
muzzle
was
a
dashed
one
,
like
the
swell
formed
when
two
hostile
currents
meet
.
His
spout
was
short
,
slow
,
and
laborious
;
coming
forth
with
a
choking
sort
of
gush
,
and
spending
itself
in
torn
shreds
,
followed
by
strange
subterranean
commotions
in
him
,
which
seemed
to
have
egress
at
his
other
buried
extremity
,
causing
the
waters
behind
him
to
upbubble
.
