Himself
,
"
replied
I.
"
Commander
Farragut
?
"
"
You
are
welcome
,
Professor
;
your
cabin
is
ready
for
you
.
"
I
bowed
,
and
desired
to
be
conducted
to
the
cabin
destined
for
me
.
The
Abraham
Lincoln
had
been
well
chosen
and
equipped
for
her
new
destination
.
She
was
a
frigate
of
great
speed
,
fitted
with
high-pressure
engines
which
admitted
a
pressure
of
seven
atmospheres
.
Under
this
the
Abraham
Lincoln
attained
the
mean
speed
of
nearly
eighteen
knots
and
a
third
an
hour
--
a
considerable
speed
,
but
,
nevertheless
,
insufficient
to
grapple
with
this
gigantic
cetacean
.
The
interior
arrangements
of
the
frigate
corresponded
to
its
nautical
qualities
.
I
was
well
satisfied
with
my
cabin
,
which
was
in
the
after
part
,
opening
upon
the
gunroom
.
"
We
shall
be
well
off
here
,
"
said
I
to
Conseil
.
"
As
well
,
by
your
honour
's
leave
,
as
a
hermit-crab
in
the
shell
of
a
whelk
,
"
said
Conseil
.
I
left
Conseil
to
stow
our
trunks
conveniently
away
,
and
remounted
the
poop
in
order
to
survey
the
preparations
for
departure
.
At
that
moment
Commander
Farragut
was
ordering
the
last
moorings
to
be
cast
loose
which
held
the
Abraham
Lincoln
to
the
pier
of
Brooklyn
.
So
in
a
quarter
of
an
hour
,
perhaps
less
,
the
frigate
would
have
sailed
without
me
.
I
should
have
missed
this
extraordinary
,
supernatural
,
and
incredible
expedition
,
the
recital
of
which
may
well
meet
with
some
suspicion
.
But
Commander
Farragut
would
not
lose
a
day
nor
an
hour
in
scouring
the
seas
in
which
the
animal
had
been
sighted
.
He
sent
for
the
engineer
.
"
Is
the
steam
full
on
?
"
asked
he
.
