"
Aye
,
breach
your
last
to
the
sun
,
Moby
Dick
!
"
cried
Ahab
,
"
thy
hour
and
thy
harpoon
are
at
hand
!
--
Down
!
down
all
of
ye
,
but
one
man
at
the
fore
.
The
boats
!
--
stand
by
!
"
Unmindful
of
the
tedious
rope-ladders
of
the
shrouds
,
the
men
,
like
shooting
stars
,
slid
to
the
deck
,
by
the
isolated
backstays
and
halyards
;
while
Ahab
,
less
dartingly
,
but
still
rapidly
was
dropped
from
his
perch
.
"
Lower
away
,
"
he
cried
,
so
soon
as
he
had
reached
his
boat
--
a
spare
one
,
rigged
the
afternoon
previous
.
"
Mr.
Starbuck
,
the
ship
is
thine
--
away
from
the
boats
,
but
keep
near
them
.
Lower
,
all
!
"
As
if
to
strike
a
quick
terror
into
them
,
by
this
time
being
the
first
assailant
himself
,
Moby
Dick
had
turned
,
and
was
now
coming
for
the
three
crews
.
Ahab
's
boat
was
central
;
and
cheering
his
men
,
he
told
them
he
would
take
the
whale
head-and-head
--
that
is
,
pull
straight
up
to
his
forehead
--
a
not
uncommon
thing
;
for
when
within
a
certain
limit
,
such
a
course
excludes
the
coming
onset
from
the
whale
's
sidelong
vision
.
But
ere
that
close
limit
was
gained
,
and
while
yet
all
three
boats
were
plain
as
the
ship
's
three
masts
to
his
eye
;
the
White
Whale
churning
himself
into
furious
speed
,
almost
in
an
instant
as
it
were
,
rushing
among
the
boats
with
open
jaws
,
and
a
lashing
tail
,
offered
appalling
battle
on
every
side
;
and
heedless
of
the
iron
darted
at
him
from
every
boat
,
seemed
only
intent
on
annihilating
each
separate
plank
of
which
those
boats
were
made
.
But
skilfully
manoeuvred
,
incessantly
wheeling
like
trained
chargers
in
the
field
;
the
boats
for
a
while
eluded
him
;
though
,
at
times
,
but
by
a
plank
's
breadth
;
while
all
the
time
,
Ahab
's
unearthly
slogan
tore
every
other
cry
but
his
to
shreds
.
But
at
last
in
his
untraceable
evolutions
,
the
White
Whale
so
crossed
and
recrossed
,
and
in
a
thousand
ways
entangled
the
slack
of
the
three
lines
now
fast
to
him
,
that
they
foreshortened
,
and
,
of
themselves
,
warped
the
devoted
boats
towards
the
planted
irons
in
him
;
though
now
for
a
moment
the
whale
drew
aside
a
little
,
as
if
to
rally
for
a
more
tremendous
charge
.
Seizing
that
opportunity
,
Ahab
first
paid
out
more
line
;
and
then
was
rapidly
hauling
and
jerking
in
upon
it
again
--
hoping
that
way
to
disencumber
it
of
some
snarls
--
when
lo
!
--
a
sight
more
savage
than
the
embattled
teeth
of
sharks
!
Caught
and
twisted
--
corkscrewed
in
the
mazes
of
the
line
,
loose
harpoons
and
lances
,
with
all
their
bristling
barbs
and
points
,
came
flashing
and
dripping
up
to
the
chocks
in
the
bows
of
Ahab
's
boat
.
Only
one
thing
could
be
done
.
Seizing
the
boat-knife
,
he
critically
reached
within
--
through
--
and
then
,
without
--
the
rays
of
steel
;
dragged
in
the
line
beyond
,
passed
it
,
inboard
,
to
the
bowsman
,
and
then
,
twice
sundering
the
rope
near
the
chocks
--
dropped
the
intercepted
fagot
of
steel
into
the
sea
;
and
was
all
fast
again
.
That
instant
,
the
White
Whale
made
a
sudden
rush
among
the
remaining
tangles
of
the
other
lines
;
by
so
doing
,
irresistibly
dragged
the
more
involved
boats
of
Stubb
and
Flask
towards
his
flukes
;
dashed
them
together
like
two
rolling
husks
on
a
surf-beaten
beach
,
and
then
,
diving
down
into
the
sea
,
disappeared
in
a
boiling
maelstrom
,
in
which
,
for
a
space
,
the
odorous
cedar
chips
of
the
wrecks
danced
round
and
round
,
like
the
grated
nutmeg
in
a
swiftly
stirred
bowl
of
punch
.
While
the
two
crews
were
yet
circling
in
the
waters
,
reaching
out
after
the
revolving
line-tubs
,
oars
,
and
other
floating
furniture
,
while
aslope
little
Flask
bobbed
up
and
down
like
an
empty
vial
,
twitching
his
legs
upwards
to
escape
the
dreaded
jaws
of
sharks
;
and
Stubb
was
lustily
singing
out
for
some
one
to
ladle
him
up
;
and
while
the
old
man
's
line
--
now
parting
--
admitted
of
his
pulling
into
the
creamy
pool
to
rescue
whom
he
could
;
--
in
that
wild
simultaneousness
of
a
thousand
concreted
perils
--
Ahab
's
yet
unstricken
boat
seemed
drawn
up
towards
Heaven
by
invisible
wires
--
as
,
arrow-like
,
shooting
perpendicularly
from
the
sea
,
the
White
Whale
dashed
his
broad
forehead
against
its
bottom
,
and
sent
it
turning
over
and
over
,
into
the
air
;
till
it
fell
again
--
gunwale
down
--
and
Ahab
and
his
men
struggled
out
from
under
it
,
like
seals
from
a
sea-side
cave
.
The
first
uprising
momentum
of
the
whale
--
modifying
its
direction
as
he
struck
the
surface
--
involuntarily
launched
him
along
it
,
to
a
little
distance
from
the
centre
of
the
destruction
he
had
made
;
and
with
his
back
to
it
,
he
now
lay
for
a
moment
slowly
feeling
with
his
flukes
from
side
to
side
;
and
whenever
a
stray
oar
,
bit
of
plank
,
the
least
chip
or
crumb
of
the
boats
touched
his
skin
,
his
tail
swiftly
drew
back
,
and
came
sideways
smiting
the
sea
.
But
soon
,
as
if
satisfied
that
his
work
for
that
time
was
done
,
he
pushed
his
pleated
forehead
through
the
ocean
,
and
trailing
after
him
the
intertangled
lines
,
continued
his
leeward
way
at
a
traveller
's
methodic
pace
.
