Every
one
knows
what
a
multitude
of
things
--
beds
,
sauce-pans
,
knives
and
forks
,
shovels
and
tongs
,
napkins
,
nut-crackers
,
and
what
not
,
are
indispensable
to
the
business
of
housekeeping
.
Just
so
with
whaling
,
which
necessitates
a
three-years
'
housekeeping
upon
the
wide
ocean
,
far
from
all
grocers
,
costermongers
,
doctors
,
bakers
,
and
bankers
.
And
though
this
also
holds
true
of
merchant
vessels
,
yet
not
by
any
means
to
the
same
extent
as
with
whalemen
.
For
besides
the
great
length
of
the
whaling
voyage
,
the
numerous
articles
peculiar
to
the
prosecution
of
the
fishery
,
and
the
impossibility
of
replacing
them
at
the
remote
harbors
usually
frequented
,
it
must
be
remembered
,
that
of
all
ships
,
whaling
vessels
are
the
most
exposed
to
accidents
of
all
kinds
,
and
especially
to
the
destruction
and
loss
of
the
very
things
upon
which
the
success
of
the
voyage
most
depends
.
Hence
,
the
spare
boats
,
spare
spars
,
and
spare
lines
and
harpoons
,
and
spare
everythings
,
almost
,
but
a
spare
Captain
and
duplicate
ship
.
At
the
period
of
our
arrival
at
the
Island
,
the
heaviest
storage
of
the
Pequod
had
been
almost
completed
;
comprising
her
beef
,
bread
,
water
,
fuel
,
and
iron
hoops
and
staves
.
But
,
as
before
hinted
,
for
some
time
there
was
a
continual
fetching
and
carrying
on
board
of
divers
odds
and
ends
of
things
,
both
large
and
small
.
Chief
among
those
who
did
this
fetching
and
carrying
was
Captain
Bildad
's
sister
,
a
lean
old
lady
of
a
most
determined
and
indefatigable
spirit
,
but
withal
very
kindhearted
,
who
seemed
resolved
that
,
if
she
could
help
it
,
nothing
should
be
found
wanting
in
the
Pequod
,
after
once
fairly
getting
to
sea
.
At
one
time
she
would
come
on
board
with
a
jar
of
pickles
for
the
steward
's
pantry
;
another
time
with
a
bunch
of
quills
for
the
chief
mate
's
desk
,
where
he
kept
his
log
;
a
third
time
with
a
roll
of
flannel
for
the
small
of
some
one
's
rheumatic
back
.
Never
did
any
woman
better
deserve
her
name
,
which
was
Charity
--
Aunt
Charity
,
as
everybody
called
her
.
And
like
a
sister
of
charity
did
this
charitable
Aunt
Charity
bustle
about
hither
and
thither
,
ready
to
turn
her
hand
and
heart
to
anything
that
promised
to
yield
safety
,
comfort
,
and
consolation
to
all
on
board
a
ship
in
which
her
beloved
brother
Bildad
was
concerned
,
and
in
which
she
herself
owned
a
score
or
two
of
well-saved
dollars
.
But
it
was
startling
to
see
this
excellent
hearted
Quakeress
coming
on
board
,
as
she
did
the
last
day
,
with
a
long
oil-ladle
in
one
hand
,
and
still
longer
whaling
lance
in
the
other
.
Nor
was
Bildad
himself
nor
Captain
Peleg
at
all
backward
.
As
for
Bildad
,
he
carried
about
with
him
a
long
list
of
the
articles
needed
,
and
at
every
fresh
arrival
,
down
went
his
mark
opposite
that
article
upon
the
paper
.
Every
once
in
a
while
Peleg
came
hobbling
out
of
his
whalebone
den
,
roaring
at
the
men
down
the
hatchways
,
roaring
up
to
the
riggers
at
the
mast-head
,
and
then
concluded
by
roaring
back
into
his
wigwam
.
During
these
days
of
preparation
,
Queequeg
and
I
often
visited
the
craft
,
and
as
often
I
asked
about
Captain
Ahab
,
and
how
he
was
,
and
when
he
was
going
to
come
on
board
his
ship
.
To
these
questions
they
would
answer
,
that
he
was
getting
better
and
better
,
and
was
expected
aboard
every
day
;
meantime
,
the
two
captains
,
Peleg
and
Bildad
,
could
attend
to
everything
necessary
to
fit
the
vessel
for
the
voyage
.
If
I
had
been
downright
honest
with
myself
,
I
would
have
seen
very
plainly
in
my
heart
that
I
did
but
half
fancy
being
committed
this
way
to
so
long
a
voyage
,
without
once
laying
my
eyes
on
the
man
who
was
to
be
absolute
dictator
of
it
,
so
soon
as
the
ship
sailed
out
upon
the
open
sea
.
But
when
a
man
suspects
any
wrong
,
it
sometimes
happens
that
if
he
be
already
involved
in
the
matter
,
he
insensibly
strives
to
cover
up
his
suspicions
even
from
himself
.
And
much
this
way
it
was
with
me
.
I
said
nothing
,
and
tried
to
think
nothing
.
At
last
it
was
given
out
that
some
time
next
day
the
ship
would
certainly
sail
.
So
next
morning
,
Queequeg
and
I
took
a
very
early
start
.
It
was
nearly
six
o'clock
,
but
only
grey
imperfect
misty
dawn
,
when
we
drew
nigh
the
wharf
.
"
There
are
some
sailors
running
ahead
there
,
if
I
see
right
,
"
said
I
to
Queequeg
,
"
it
ca
n't
be
shadow
;
she
's
off
by
sunrise
,
I
guess
;
come
on
!
"
