Bildad
,
"
cried
Captain
Peleg
,
"
at
it
again
,
Bildad
,
eh
?
Ye
have
been
studying
those
Scriptures
,
now
,
for
the
last
thirty
years
,
to
my
certain
knowledge
.
How
far
ye
got
,
Bildad
?
"
As
if
long
habituated
to
such
profane
talk
from
his
old
shipmate
,
Bildad
,
without
noticing
his
present
irreverence
,
quietly
looked
up
,
and
seeing
me
,
glanced
again
inquiringly
towards
Peleg
.
"
He
says
he
's
our
man
,
Bildad
,
"
said
Peleg
,
"
he
wants
to
ship
.
"
"
Dost
thee
?
"
said
Bildad
,
in
a
hollow
tone
,
and
turning
round
to
me
.
"
I
dost
,
"
said
I
unconsciously
,
he
was
so
intense
a
Quaker
.
"
What
do
ye
think
of
him
,
Bildad
?
"
said
Peleg
.
"
He
'll
do
,
"
said
Bildad
,
eyeing
me
,
and
then
went
on
spelling
away
at
his
book
in
a
mumbling
tone
quite
audible
.
I
thought
him
the
queerest
old
Quaker
I
ever
saw
,
especially
as
Peleg
,
his
friend
and
old
shipmate
,
seemed
such
a
blusterer
.
But
I
said
nothing
,
only
looking
round
me
sharply
.
Peleg
now
threw
open
a
chest
,
and
drawing
forth
the
ship
's
articles
,
placed
pen
and
ink
before
him
,
and
seated
himself
at
a
little
table
.
I
began
to
think
it
was
high
time
to
settle
with
myself
at
what
terms
I
would
be
willing
to
engage
for
the
voyage
.
I
was
already
aware
that
in
the
whaling
business
they
paid
no
wages
;
but
all
hands
,
including
the
captain
,
received
certain
shares
of
the
profits
called
lays
,
and
that
these
lays
were
proportioned
to
the
degree
of
importance
pertaining
to
the
respective
duties
of
the
ship
's
company
.
I
was
also
aware
that
being
a
green
hand
at
whaling
,
my
own
lay
would
not
be
very
large
;
but
considering
that
I
was
used
to
the
sea
,
could
steer
a
ship
,
splice
a
rope
,
and
all
that
,
I
made
no
doubt
that
from
all
I
had
heard
I
should
be
offered
at
least
the
275th
lay
--
that
is
,
the
275th
part
of
the
clear
net
proceeds
of
the
voyage
,
whatever
that
might
eventually
amount
to
.
And
though
the
275th
lay
was
what
they
call
a
rather
long
lay
,
yet
it
was
better
than
nothing
;
and
if
we
had
a
lucky
voyage
,
might
pretty
nearly
pay
for
the
clothing
I
would
wear
out
on
it
,
not
to
speak
of
my
three
years
'
beef
and
board
,
for
which
I
would
not
have
to
pay
one
stiver
.
It
might
be
thought
that
this
was
a
poor
way
to
accumulate
a
princely
fortune
--
and
so
it
was
,
a
very
poor
way
indeed
.
But
I
am
one
of
those
who
never
take
on
about
princely
fortunes
,
and
am
quite
content
if
the
world
is
ready
to
board
and
lodge
me
,
while
I
am
putting
up
at
this
grim
sign
of
the
Thunder
Cloud
.
Upon
the
whole
,
I
thought
the
275th
lay
would
be
about
the
fair
thing
,
but
would
not
have
been
surprised
had
I
been
offered
the
200th
,
considering
I
was
of
a
broad-shouldered
make
.
But
one
thing
,
nevertheless
,
that
made
me
a
little
distrustful
about
receiving
a
generous
share
of
the
profits
was
this
:
Ashore
,
I
had
heard
something
of
both
Captain
Peleg
and
his
unaccountable
old
crony
Bildad
;
how
that
they
being
the
principal
proprietors
of
the
Pequod
,
therefore
the
other
and
more
inconsiderable
and
scattered
owners
,
left
nearly
the
whole
management
of
the
ship
's
affairs
to
these
two
.
And
I
did
not
know
but
what
the
stingy
old
Bildad
might
have
a
mighty
deal
to
say
about
shipping
hands
,
especially
as
I
now
found
him
on
board
the
Pequod
,
quite
at
home
there
in
the
cabin
,
and
reading
his
Bible
as
if
at
his
own
fireside
.
Now
while
Peleg
was
vainly
trying
to
mend
a
pen
with
his
jack-knife
,
old
Bildad
,
to
my
no
small
surprise
,
considering
that
he
was
such
an
interested
party
in
these
proceedings
;
Bildad
never
heeded
us
,
but
went
on
mumbling
to
himself
out
of
his
book
,
"
Lay
not
up
for
yourselves
treasures
upon
earth
,
where
