The
thing
itself
on
the
port
quarter
!
"
cried
the
harpooner
.
Every
eye
was
turned
towards
the
point
indicated
.
There
,
a
mile
and
a
half
from
the
frigate
,
a
long
blackish
body
emerged
a
yard
above
the
waves
.
Its
tail
,
violently
agitated
,
produced
a
considerable
eddy
.
Never
did
a
tail
beat
the
sea
with
such
violence
.
An
immense
track
,
of
dazzling
whiteness
,
marked
the
passage
of
the
animal
,
and
described
a
long
curve
.
The
frigate
approached
the
cetacean
.
I
examined
it
thoroughly
.
The
reports
of
the
Shannon
and
of
the
Helvetia
had
rather
exaggerated
its
size
,
and
I
estimated
its
length
at
only
two
hundred
and
fifty
feet
.
As
to
its
dimensions
,
I
could
only
conjecture
them
to
be
admirably
proportioned
.
While
I
watched
this
phenomenon
,
two
jets
of
steam
and
water
were
ejected
from
its
vents
,
and
rose
to
the
height
of
120
feet
;
thus
I
ascertained
its
way
of
breathing
.
I
concluded
definitely
that
it
belonged
to
the
vertebrate
branch
,
class
mammalia
.
The
crew
waited
impatiently
for
their
chief
's
orders
.
The
latter
,
after
having
observed
the
animal
attentively
,
called
the
engineer
.
The
engineer
ran
to
him
.
"
Sir
,
"
said
the
commander
,
"
you
have
steam
up
?
"
"
Yes
,
sir
,
"
answered
the
engineer
.
"
Well
,
make
up
your
fires
and
put
on
all
steam
.
"
Three
hurrahs
greeted
this
order
.
The
time
for
the
struggle
had
arrived
.
Some
moments
after
,
the
two
funnels
of
the
frigate
vomited
torrents
of
black
smoke
,
and
the
bridge
quaked
under
the
trembling
of
the
boilers
.
The
Abraham
Lincoln
,
propelled
by
her
wonderful
screw
,
went
straight
at
the
animal
.
The
latter
allowed
it
to
come
within
half
a
cable
's
length
;
then
,
as
if
disdaining
to
dive
,
it
took
a
little
turn
,
and
stopped
a
short
distance
off
.
