"
Do
n't
be
afraid
,
my
butter-boxes
,
"
cried
Stubb
,
casting
a
passing
glance
upon
them
as
he
shot
by
;
"
ye
'll
be
picked
up
presently
--
all
right
--
I
saw
some
sharks
astern
--
St.
Bernard
's
dogs
,
you
know
--
relieve
distressed
travellers
.
Hurrah
!
this
is
the
way
to
sail
now
.
Every
keel
a
sunbeam
!
Hurrah
!
--
Here
we
go
like
three
tin
kettles
at
the
tail
of
a
mad
cougar
!
This
puts
me
in
mind
of
fastening
to
an
elephant
in
a
tilbury
on
a
plain
--
makes
the
wheelspokes
fly
,
boys
,
when
you
fasten
to
him
that
way
;
and
there
's
danger
of
being
pitched
out
too
,
when
you
strike
a
hill
.
Hurrah
!
this
is
the
way
a
fellow
feels
when
he
's
going
to
Davy
Jones
--
all
a
rush
down
an
endless
inclined
plane
!
Hurrah
!
this
whale
carries
the
everlasting
mail
!
"
But
the
monster
's
run
was
a
brief
one
.
Giving
a
sudden
gasp
,
he
tumultuously
sounded
.
With
a
grating
rush
,
the
three
lines
flew
round
the
loggerheads
with
such
a
force
as
to
gouge
deep
grooves
in
them
;
while
so
fearful
were
the
harpooneers
that
this
rapid
sounding
would
soon
exhaust
the
lines
,
that
using
all
their
dexterous
might
,
they
caught
repeated
smoking
turns
with
the
rope
to
hold
on
;
till
at
last
--
owing
to
the
perpendicular
strain
from
the
lead-lined
chocks
of
the
boat
,
whence
the
three
ropes
went
straight
down
into
the
blue
--
the
gunwales
of
the
bows
were
almost
even
with
the
water
,
while
the
three
sterns
tilted
high
in
the
air
.
And
the
whale
soon
ceasing
to
sound
,
for
some
time
they
remained
in
that
attitude
,
fearful
of
expending
more
line
,
though
the
position
was
a
little
ticklish
.
But
though
boats
have
been
taken
down
and
lost
in
this
way
,
yet
it
is
this
"
holding
on
,
"
as
it
is
called
;
this
hooking
up
by
the
sharp
barbs
of
his
live
flesh
from
the
back
;
this
it
is
that
often
torments
the
Leviathan
into
soon
rising
again
to
meet
the
sharp
lance
of
his
foes
.
Yet
not
to
speak
of
the
peril
of
the
thing
,
it
is
to
be
doubted
whether
this
course
is
always
the
best
;
for
it
is
but
reasonable
to
presume
,
that
the
longer
the
stricken
whale
stays
under
water
,
the
more
he
is
exhausted
.
Because
,
owing
to
the
enormous
surface
of
him
--
in
a
full
grown
sperm
whale
something
less
than
2000
square
feet
--
the
pressure
of
the
water
is
immense
.
We
all
know
what
an
astonishing
atmospheric
weight
we
ourselves
stand
up
under
;
even
here
,
above-ground
,
in
the
air
;
how
vast
,
then
,
the
burden
of
a
whale
,
bearing
on
his
back
a
column
of
two
hundred
fathoms
of
ocean
!
It
must
at
least
equal
the
weight
of
fifty
atmospheres
.
One
whaleman
has
estimated
it
at
the
weight
of
twenty
line-of-battle
ships
,
with
all
their
guns
,
and
stores
,
and
men
on
board
.
As
the
three
boats
lay
there
on
that
gently
rolling
sea
,
gazing
down
into
its
eternal
blue
noon
;
and
as
not
a
single
groan
or
cry
of
any
sort
,
nay
,
not
so
much
as
a
ripple
or
a
bubble
came
up
from
its
depths
;
what
landsman
would
have
thought
,
that
beneath
all
that
silence
and
placidity
,
the
utmost
monster
of
the
seas
was
writhing
and
wrenching
in
agony
!
Not
eight
inches
of
perpendicular
rope
were
visible
at
the
bows
.
Seems
it
credible
that
by
three
such
thin
threads
the
great
Leviathan
was
suspended
like
the
big
weight
to
an
eight
day
clock
.
Suspended
?
and
to
what
?
To
three
bits
of
board
.
Is
this
the
creature
of
whom
it
was
once
so
triumphantly
said
--
"
Canst
thou
fill
his
skin
with
barbed
irons
?
or
his
head
with
fish-spears
?
The
sword
of
him
that
layeth
at
him
can
not
hold
,
the
spear
,
the
dart
,
nor
the
habergeon
:
he
esteemeth
iron
as
straw
;
the
arrow
can
not
make
him
flee
;
darts
are
counted
as
stubble
;
he
laugheth
at
the
shaking
of
a
spear
!
"
This
the
creature
?
this
he
?
Oh
!
that
unfulfilments
should
follow
the
prophets
.
For
with
the
strength
of
a
thousand
thighs
in
his
tail
,
Leviathan
had
run
his
head
under
the
mountains
of
the
sea
,
to
hide
him
from
the
Pequod
's
fishspears
!
In
that
sloping
afternoon
sunlight
,
the
shadows
that
the
three
boats
sent
down
beneath
the
surface
,
must
have
been
long
enough
and
broad
enough
to
shade
half
Xerxes
'
army
.
Who
can
tell
how
appalling
to
the
wounded
whale
must
have
been
such
huge
phantoms
flitting
over
his
head
!
"
Stand
by
,
men
;
he
stirs
,
"
cried
Starbuck
,
as
the
three
lines
suddenly
vibrated
in
the
water
,
distinctly
conducting
upwards
to
them
,
as
by
magnetic
wires
,
the
life
and
death
throbs
of
the
whale
,
so
that
every
oarsman
felt
them
in
his
seat
.
The
next
moment
,
relieved
in
great
part
from
the
downward
strain
at
the
bows
,
the
boats
gave
a
sudden
bounce
upwards
,
as
a
small
icefield
will
,
when
a
dense
herd
of
white
bears
are
scared
from
it
into
the
sea
.
"
Haul
in
!
Haul
in
!
"
cried
Starbuck
again
;
"
he
's
rising
.
"
The
lines
,
of
which
,
hardly
an
instant
before
,
not
one
hand
's
breadth
could
have
been
gained
,
were
now
in
long
quick
coils
flung
back
all
dripping
into
the
boats
,
and
soon
the
whale
broke
water
within
two
ship
's
length
of
the
hunters
.
