No
,
when
I
go
to
sea
,
I
go
as
a
simple
sailor
,
right
before
the
mast
,
plumb
down
into
the
fore-castle
,
aloft
there
to
the
royal
mast-head
.
True
,
they
rather
order
me
about
some
,
and
make
me
jump
from
spar
to
spar
,
like
a
grasshopper
in
a
May
meadow
.
And
at
first
,
this
sort
of
thing
is
unpleasant
enough
.
It
touches
one
's
sense
of
honor
,
particularly
if
you
come
of
an
old
established
family
in
the
land
,
the
Van
Rensselaers
,
or
Randolphs
,
or
Hardicanutes
.
And
more
than
all
,
if
just
previous
to
putting
your
hand
into
the
tar-pot
,
you
have
been
lording
it
as
a
country
schoolmaster
,
making
the
tallest
boys
stand
in
awe
of
you
.
The
transition
is
a
keen
one
,
I
assure
you
,
from
a
schoolmaster
to
a
sailor
,
and
requires
a
strong
decoction
of
Seneca
and
the
Stoics
to
enable
you
to
grin
and
bear
it
.
But
even
this
wears
off
in
time
.
What
of
it
,
if
some
old
hunks
of
a
sea-captain
orders
me
to
get
a
broom
and
sweep
down
the
decks
?
What
does
that
indignity
amount
to
,
weighed
,
I
mean
,
in
the
scales
of
the
New
Testament
?
Do
you
think
the
archangel
Gabriel
thinks
anything
the
less
of
me
,
because
I
promptly
and
respectfully
obey
that
old
hunks
in
that
particular
instance
?
Who
ai
n't
a
slave
?
Tell
me
that
.
Well
,
then
,
however
the
old
sea-captains
may
order
me
about
--
however
they
may
thump
and
punch
me
about
,
I
have
the
satisfaction
of
knowing
that
it
is
all
right
;
that
everybody
else
is
one
way
or
other
served
in
much
the
same
way
--
either
in
a
physical
or
metaphysical
point
of
view
,
that
is
;
and
so
the
universal
thump
is
passed
round
,
and
all
hands
should
rub
each
other
's
shoulder-blades
,
and
be
content
.
Again
,
I
always
go
to
sea
as
a
sailor
,
because
they
make
a
point
of
paying
me
for
my
trouble
,
whereas
they
never
pay
passengers
a
single
penny
that
I
ever
heard
of
.
On
the
contrary
,
passengers
themselves
must
pay
.
And
there
is
all
the
difference
in
the
world
between
paying
and
being
paid
.
The
act
of
paying
is
perhaps
the
most
uncomfortable
infliction
that
the
two
orchard
thieves
entailed
upon
us
.
But
being
paid
--
what
will
compare
with
it
?
The
urbane
activity
with
which
a
man
receives
money
is
really
marvellous
,
considering
that
we
so
earnestly
believe
money
to
be
the
root
of
all
earthly
ills
,
and
that
on
no
account
can
a
monied
man
enter
heaven
.
Ah
!
how
cheerfully
we
consign
ourselves
to
perdition
!
Finally
,
I
always
go
to
sea
as
a
sailor
,
because
of
the
wholesome
exercise
and
pure
air
of
the
fore-castle
deck
.
For
as
in
this
world
,
head
winds
are
far
more
prevalent
than
winds
from
astern
(
that
is
,
if
you
never
violate
the
Pythagorean
maxim
)
,
so
for
the
most
part
the
Commodore
on
the
quarter-deck
gets
his
atmosphere
at
second
hand
from
the
sailors
on
the
forecastle
.
He
thinks
he
breathes
it
first
;
but
not
so
.
In
much
the
same
way
do
the
commonalty
lead
their
leaders
in
many
other
things
,
at
the
same
time
that
the
leaders
little
suspect
it
.
But
wherefore
it
was
that
after
having
repeatedly
smelt
the
sea
as
a
merchant
sailor
,
I
should
now
take
it
into
my
head
to
go
on
a
whaling
voyage
;
this
the
invisible
police
officer
of
the
Fates
,
who
has
the
constant
surveillance
of
me
,
and
secretly
dogs
me
,
and
influences
me
in
some
unaccountable
way
--
he
can
better
answer
than
any
one
else
.
And
,
doubtless
,
my
going
on
this
whaling
voyage
,
formed
part
of
the
grand
programme
of
Providence
that
was
drawn
up
a
long
time
ago
.
It
came
in
as
a
sort
of
brief
interlude
and
solo
between
more
extensive
performances
.
I
take
it
that
this
part
of
the
bill
must
have
run
something
like
this
:
"
Grand
Contested
Election
for
the
Presidency
of
the
United
States
.
"
"
Whaling
Voyage
by
one
Ishmael
.
"
"
Bloody
Battle
in
Affghanistan
.
"
Though
I
can
not
tell
why
it
was
exactly
that
those
stage
managers
,
the
Fates
,
put
me
down
for
this
shabby
part
of
a
whaling
voyage
,
when
others
were
set
down
for
magnificent
parts
in
high
tragedies
,
and
short
and
easy
parts
in
genteel
comedies
,
and
jolly
parts
in
farces
--
though
I
can
not
tell
why
this
was
exactly
;
yet
,
now
that
I
recall
all
the
circumstances
,
I
think
I
can
see
a
little
into
the
springs
and
motives
which
being
cunningly
presented
to
me
under
various
disguises
,
induced
me
to
set
about
performing
the
part
I
did
,
besides
cajoling
me
into
the
delusion
that
it
was
a
choice
resulting
from
my
own
unbiased
freewill
and
discriminating
judgment
.
