Be
it
said
,
that
in
this
vocation
of
whaling
,
sinecures
are
unknown
;
dignity
and
danger
go
hand
in
hand
;
till
you
get
to
be
Captain
,
the
higher
you
rise
the
harder
you
toil
.
So
with
poor
Queequeg
,
who
,
as
harpooneer
,
must
not
only
face
all
the
rage
of
the
living
whale
,
but
--
as
we
have
elsewhere
seen
--
mount
his
dead
back
in
a
rolling
sea
;
and
finally
descend
into
the
gloom
of
the
hold
,
and
bitterly
sweating
all
day
in
that
subterraneous
confinement
,
resolutely
manhandle
the
clumsiest
casks
and
see
to
their
stowage
.
To
be
short
,
among
whalemen
,
the
harpooneers
are
the
holders
,
so
called
.
Poor
Queequeg
!
when
the
ship
was
about
half
disembowelled
,
you
should
have
stooped
over
the
hatchway
,
and
peered
down
upon
him
there
;
where
,
stripped
to
his
woollen
drawers
,
the
tattooed
savage
was
crawling
about
amid
that
dampness
and
slime
,
like
a
green
spotted
lizard
at
the
bottom
of
a
well
.
And
a
well
,
or
an
ice-house
,
it
somehow
proved
to
him
,
poor
pagan
;
where
,
strange
to
say
,
for
all
the
heat
of
his
sweatings
,
he
caught
a
terrible
chill
which
lapsed
into
a
fever
;
and
at
last
,
after
some
days
'
suffering
,
laid
him
in
his
hammock
,
close
to
the
very
sill
of
the
door
of
death
.
How
he
wasted
and
wasted
away
in
those
few
long-lingering
days
,
till
there
seemed
but
little
left
of
him
but
his
frame
and
tattooing
.
But
as
all
else
in
him
thinned
,
and
his
cheek-bones
grew
sharper
,
his
eyes
,
nevertheless
,
seemed
growing
fuller
and
fuller
;
they
became
of
a
strange
softness
of
lustre
;
and
mildly
but
deeply
looked
out
at
you
there
from
his
sickness
,
a
wondrous
testimony
to
that
immortal
health
in
him
which
could
not
die
,
or
be
weakened
.
And
like
circles
on
the
water
,
which
,
as
they
grow
fainter
,
expand
;
so
his
eyes
seemed
rounding
and
rounding
,
like
the
rings
of
Eternity
.
An
awe
that
can
not
be
named
would
steal
over
you
as
you
sat
by
the
side
of
this
waning
savage
,
and
saw
as
strange
things
in
his
face
,
as
any
beheld
who
were
bystanders
when
Zoroaster
died
.
For
whatever
is
truly
wondrous
and
fearful
in
man
,
never
yet
was
put
into
words
or
books
.
And
the
drawing
near
of
Death
,
which
alike
levels
all
,
alike
impresses
all
with
a
last
revelation
,
which
only
an
author
from
the
dead
could
adequately
tell
.
So
that
--
let
us
say
it
again
--
no
dying
Chaldee
or
Greek
had
higher
and
holier
thoughts
than
those
,
whose
mysterious
shades
you
saw
creeping
over
the
face
of
poor
Queequeg
,
as
he
quietly
lay
in
his
swaying
hammock
,
and
the
rolling
sea
seemed
gently
rocking
him
to
his
final
rest
,
and
the
ocean
's
invisible
flood-tide
lifted
him
higher
and
higher
towards
his
destined
heaven
.
Not
a
man
of
the
crew
but
gave
him
up
;
and
,
as
for
Queequeg
himself
,
what
he
thought
of
his
case
was
forcibly
shown
by
a
curious
favor
he
asked
.
He
called
one
to
him
in
the
grey
morning
watch
,
when
the
day
was
just
breaking
,
and
taking
his
hand
,
said
that
while
in
Nantucket
he
had
chanced
to
see
certain
little
canoes
of
dark
wood
,
like
the
rich
war-wood
of
his
native
isle
;
and
upon
inquiry
,
he
had
learned
that
all
whalemen
who
died
in
Nantucket
,
were
laid
in
those
dark
canoes
,
and
that
the
fancy
of
being
so
laid
had
much
pleased
him
;
for
it
was
not
unlike
the
custom
of
his
own
race
,
who
,
after
embalming
a
dead
warrior
,
stretched
him
out
in
his
canoe
,
and
so
left
him
to
be
floated
away
to
the
starry
archipelagoes
;
for
not
only
do
they
believe
that
the
stars
are
isles
,
but
that
far
beyond
all
visible
horizons
,
their
own
mild
,
uncontinented
seas
,
interflow
with
the
blue
heavens
;
and
so
form
the
white
breakers
of
the
milky
way
.
He
added
,
that
he
shuddered
at
the
thought
of
being
buried
in
his
hammock
,
according
to
the
usual
sea-custom
,
tossed
like
something
vile
to
the
death-devouring
sharks
.
No
:
he
desired
a
canoe
like
those
of
Nantucket
,
all
the
more
congenial
to
him
,
being
a
whaleman
,
that
like
a
whale-boat
these
coffin-canoes
were
without
a
keel
;
though
that
involved
but
uncertain
steering
,
and
much
lee-way
adown
the
dim
ages
.
Now
,
when
this
strange
circumstance
was
made
known
aft
,
the
carpenter
was
at
once
commanded
to
do
Queequeg
's
bidding
,
whatever
it
might
include
.
There
was
some
heathenish
,
coffin-colored
old
lumber
aboard
,
which
,
upon
a
long
previous
voyage
,
had
been
cut
from
the
aboriginal
groves
of
the
Lackaday
islands
,
and
from
these
dark
planks
the
coffin
was
recommended
to
be
made
.
No
sooner
was
the
carpenter
apprised
of
the
order
,
than
taking
his
rule
,
he
forthwith
with
all
the
indifferent
promptitude
of
his
character
,
proceeded
into
the
forecastle
and
took
Queequeg
's
measure
with
great
accuracy
,
regularly
chalking
Queequeg
's
person
as
he
shifted
the
rule
.
"
Ah
!
poor
fellow
!
he
'll
have
to
die
now
,
"
ejaculated
the
Long
Island
sailor
.
Going
to
his
vice-bench
,
the
carpenter
for
convenience
sake
and
general
reference
,
now
transferringly
measured
on
it
the
exact
length
the
coffin
was
to
be
,
and
then
made
the
transfer
permanent
by
cutting
two
notches
at
its
extremities
.
This
done
,
he
marshalled
the
planks
and
his
tools
,
and
to
work
.
