A
belaying
pin
is
found
too
large
to
be
easily
inserted
into
its
hole
:
the
carpenter
claps
it
into
one
of
his
ever
ready
vices
,
and
straightway
files
it
smaller
.
A
lost
landbird
of
strange
plumage
strays
on
board
,
and
is
made
a
captive
:
out
of
clean
shaved
rods
of
right-whale
bone
,
and
cross-beams
of
sperm
whale
ivory
,
the
carpenter
makes
a
pagoda-looking
cage
for
it
.
An
oarsmen
sprains
his
wrist
:
the
carpenter
concocts
a
soothing
lotion
.
Stubb
longed
for
vermillion
stars
to
be
painted
upon
the
blade
of
his
every
oar
;
screwing
each
oar
in
his
big
vice
of
wood
,
the
carpenter
symmetrically
supplies
the
constellation
.
A
sailor
takes
a
fancy
to
wear
shark-bone
ear-rings
:
the
carpenter
drills
his
ears
.
Another
has
the
toothache
:
the
carpenter
out
pincers
,
and
clapping
one
hand
upon
his
bench
bids
him
be
seated
there
;
but
the
poor
fellow
unmanageably
winces
under
the
unconcluded
operation
;
whirling
round
the
handle
of
his
wooden
vice
,
the
carpenter
signs
him
to
clap
his
jaw
in
that
,
if
he
would
have
him
draw
the
tooth
.
Thus
,
this
carpenter
was
prepared
at
all
points
,
and
alike
indifferent
and
without
respect
in
all
.
Teeth
he
accounted
bits
of
ivory
;
heads
he
deemed
but
top-blocks
;
men
themselves
he
lightly
held
for
capstans
.
But
while
now
upon
so
wide
a
field
thus
variously
accomplished
and
with
such
liveliness
of
expertness
in
him
,
too
;
all
this
would
seem
to
argue
some
uncommon
vivacity
of
intelligence
.
But
not
precisely
so
.
For
nothing
was
this
man
more
remarkable
,
than
for
a
certain
impersonal
stolidity
as
it
were
;
impersonal
,
I
say
;
for
it
so
shaded
off
into
the
surrounding
infinite
of
things
,
that
it
seemed
one
with
the
general
stolidity
discernible
in
the
whole
visible
world
;
which
while
pauselessly
active
in
uncounted
modes
,
still
eternally
holds
its
peace
,
and
ignores
you
,
though
you
dig
foundations
for
cathedrals
.
Yet
was
this
half-horrible
stolidity
in
him
,
involving
,
too
,
as
it
appeared
,
an
all-ramifying
heartlessness
;
--
yet
was
it
oddly
dashed
at
times
,
with
an
old
,
crutch-like
,
antediluvian
,
wheezing
humorousness
,
not
unstreaked
now
and
then
with
a
certain
grizzled
wittiness
;
such
as
might
have
served
to
pass
the
time
during
the
midnight
watch
on
the
bearded
forecastle
of
Noah
's
ark
.
Was
it
that
this
old
carpenter
had
been
a
life-long
wanderer
,
whose
much
rolling
,
to
and
fro
,
not
only
had
gathered
no
moss
;
but
what
is
more
,
had
rubbed
off
whatever
small
outward
clingings
might
have
originally
pertained
to
him
?
He
was
a
stript
abstract
;
an
unfractioned
integral
;
uncompromised
as
a
new-born
babe
;
living
without
premeditated
reference
to
this
world
or
the
next
.
You
might
almost
say
,
that
this
strange
uncompromisedness
in
him
involved
a
sort
of
unintelligence
;
for
in
his
numerous
trades
,
he
did
not
seem
to
work
so
much
by
reason
or
by
instinct
,
or
simply
because
he
had
been
tutored
to
it
,
or
by
any
intermixture
of
all
these
,
even
or
uneven
;
but
merely
by
kind
of
deaf
and
dumb
,
spontaneous
literal
process
.
He
was
a
pure
manipulater
;
his
brain
,
if
he
had
ever
had
one
,
must
have
early
oozed
along
into
the
muscles
of
his
fingers
.
He
was
like
one
of
those
unreasoning
but
still
highly
useful
,
multum
in
parvo
,
Sheffield
contrivances
,
assuming
the
exterior
--
though
a
little
swelled
--
of
a
common
pocket
knife
;
but
containing
,
not
only
blades
of
various
sizes
,
but
also
screw-drivers
,
cork-screws
,
tweezers
,
awls
,
pens
,
rulers
,
nail-filers
,
countersinkers
.
So
,
if
his
superiors
wanted
to
use
the
carpenter
for
a
screw-driver
,
all
they
had
to
do
was
to
open
that
part
of
him
,
and
the
screw
was
fast
:
or
if
for
tweezers
,
take
him
up
by
the
legs
,
and
there
they
were
.
Yet
,
as
previously
hinted
,
this
omnitooled
,
open-and-shut
carpenter
,
was
,
after
all
,
no
mere
machine
of
an
automaton
.
If
he
did
not
have
a
common
soul
in
him
,
he
had
a
subtle
something
that
somehow
anomalously
did
its
duty
.
What
that
was
,
whether
essence
of
quicksilver
,
or
a
few
drops
of
hartshorn
,
there
is
no
telling
.
But
there
it
was
;
and
there
it
had
abided
for
now
some
sixty
years
or
more
And
this
it
was
,
this
same
unaccountable
,
cunning
life-principle
in
him
;
this
it
was
,
that
kept
him
a
great
part
of
the
time
soliloquizing
;
but
only
like
an
unreasoning
wheel
,
which
also
hummingly
soliloquizes
;
or
rather
,
his
body
was
a
sentry-box
and
this
soliloquizer
on
guard
there
,
and
talking
all
the
time
to
keep
himself
awake
.
The
Deck
--
First
Night
Watch
(
Carpenter
standing
before
vice-bench
,
and
by
the
light
of
two
lanterns
busily
filing
the
ivory
joist
for
the
leg
,
which
joist
is
firmly
fixed
in
the
vice
.
Slabs
of
ivory
,
leather
straps
,
pads
,
screws
,
and
various
tools
of
all
sorts
lying
about
the
bench
.
Forward
,
the
red
flame
of
the
forge
is
seen
,
where
the
blacksmith
is
at
work
.
)
Drat
the
file
,
and
drat
the
bone
!
That
is
hard
which
should
be
soft
,
and
that
is
soft
which
should
be
hard
.
So
we
go
,
who
file
old
jaws
and
shin
bones
.
Let
's
try
another
.
Aye
,
now
,
this
works
better
(
sneezes
)
.
Halloa
,
this
bone
dust
is
(
sneezes
)
--
why
it
's
(
sneezes
)
--
yes
it
's
(
sneezes
)
--
bless
my
soul
,
it
wo
n't
let
me
speak
!
This
is
what
an
old
fellow
gets
now
for
working
in
dead
lumber
.
Saw
a
live
tree
,
and
you
do
n't
get
this
dust
;
amputate
a
live
bone
,
and
you
do
n't
get
it
(
sneezes
)
.
Come
,
come
,
you
old
Smut
,
there
,
bear
a
hand
,
and
let
's
have
that
ferrule
and
buckle-screw
;
I
'll
be
ready
for
them
presently
.
Lucky
now
(
sneezes
)
there
's
no
knee-joint
to
make
;
that
might
puzzle
a
little
;
but
a
mere
shin-bone
--
why
it
's
easy
as
making
hop-poles
;
only
I
should
like
to
put
a
good
finish
on
.
Time
,
time
;
if
I
but
only
had
the
time
,
I
could
turn
him
out
as
neat
a
leg
now
as
ever
(
sneezes
)
scraped
to
a
lady
in
a
parlor
.
Those
buckskin
legs
and
calves
of
legs
I
've
seen
in
shop
windows
would
n't
compare
at
all
.
They
soak
water
,
they
do
;
and
of
course
get
rheumatic
,
and
have
to
be
doctored
(
sneezes
)
with
washes
and
lotions
,
just
like
live
legs
.
There
;
before
I
saw
it
off
,
I
must
call
his
old
Mogulship
,
and
see
whether
the
length
will
be
all
right
;
too
short
,
if
anything
,
I
guess
.
Ha
!
that
's
the
heel
;
we
are
in
luck
;
here
he
comes
,
or
it
's
somebody
else
,
that
's
certain
.
