And

damn

me

,

Ahab

,

but

thou

actest

right

;

live

in

the

game

,

and

die

in

it

!

"

Warmest

climes

but

nurse

the

cruellest

fangs

:

the

tiger

of

Bengal

crouches

in

spaced

groves

of

ceaseless

verdure

.

Skies

the

most

effulgent

but

basket

the

deadliest

thunders

:

gorgeous

Cuba

knows

tornadoes

that

never

swept

tame

northern

lands

.

So

,

too

,

it

is

,

that

in

these

resplendent

Japanese

seas

the

mariner

encounters

the

direst

of

all

storms

,

the

Typhoon

.

It

will

sometimes

burst

from

out

that

cloudless

sky

,

like

an

exploding

bomb

upon

a

dazed

and

sleepy

town

.

Towards

evening

of

that

day

,

the

Pequod

was

torn

of

her

canvas

,

and

bare-poled

was

left

to

fight

a

Typhoon

which

had

struck

her

directly

ahead

.

When

darkness

came

on

,

sky

and

sea

roared

and

split

with

the

thunder

,

and

blazed

with

the

lightning

,

that

showed

the

disabled

mast

fluttering

here

and

there

with

the

rags

which

the

first

fury

of

the

tempest

had

left

for

its

after

sport

.

Holding

by

a

shroud

,

Starbuck

was

standing

on

the

quarter-deck

;

at

every

flash

of

the

lightning

glancing

aloft

,

to

see

what

additional

disaster

might

have

befallen

the

intricate

hamper

there

;

while

Stubb

and

Flask

were

directing

the

men

in

the

higher

hoisting

and

firmer

lashing

of

the

boats

.

But

all

their

pains

seemed

naught

.

Though

lifted

to

the

very

top

of

the

cranes

,

the

windward

quarter

boat

(

Ahab

's

)

did

not

escape

.

A

great

rolling

sea

,

dashing

high

up

against

the

reeling

ship

's

high

teetering

side

,

stove

in

the

boat

's

bottom

at

the

stern

,

and

left

it

again

,

all

dripping

through

like

a

sieve

.

"

Bad

work

,

bad

work

!

Mr.

Starbuck

,

"

said

Stubb

,

regarding

the

wreck

,

"

but

the

sea

will

have

its

way

.

Stubb

,

for

one

,

ca

n't

fight

it

.

You

see

,

Mr.

Starbuck

,

a

wave

has

such

a

great

long

start

before

it

leaps

,

all

round

the

world

it

runs

,

and

then

comes

the

spring

!

But

as

for

me

,

all

the

start

I

have

to

meet

it

,

is

just

across

the

deck

here

.

But

never

mind

;

it

's

all

in

fun

:

so

the

old

song

says

;

"

--

(

sings

.

)

Oh

!

jolly

is

the

gale
