Captain
Hull
,
obliged
to
choose
strong
seamen
to
man
the
whale-boat
,
was
forced
to
put
on
Dick
Sand
the
care
of
guarding
the
"
Pilgrim
.
"
"
Dick
,
"
said
he
to
him
,
"
I
shall
charge
you
to
remain
on
board
during
my
absence
,
which
I
hope
will
be
short
.
"
"
Well
,
sir
,
"
replied
the
young
novice
.
Dick
Sand
would
have
wished
to
take
part
in
this
fishing
,
which
had
a
great
attraction
for
him
,
but
he
understood
that
,
for
one
reason
,
a
man
's
arms
were
worth
more
than
his
for
service
in
a
whale-boat
,
and
that
for
another
,
he
alone
could
replace
Captain
Hull
.
So
he
was
satisfied
.
The
whale-boat
's
crew
must
be
composed
of
the
five
men
,
including
the
master
,
Howik
,
which
formed
the
whole
crew
of
the
"
Pilgrim
.
"
The
four
sailors
were
going
to
take
their
places
at
the
oars
,
and
Howik
would
hold
the
stern
oar
,
which
serves
to
guide
a
boat
of
this
kind
.
A
simple
rudder
,
in
fact
,
would
not
have
a
prompt
enough
action
,
and
in
case
the
side
oars
should
be
disabled
,
the
stern
oar
,
well
handled
,
could
put
the
whale-boat
beyond
the
reach
of
the
monster
's
blows
.
There
was
only
Captain
Hull
besides
.
He
had
reserved
to
himself
the
post
of
harpooner
,
and
,
as
he
had
said
,
this
would
not
be
his
first
attempt
.
It
was
he
who
must
first
throw
the
harpoon
,
then
watch
the
unrolling
of
the
long
line
fastened
at
its
end
;
then
,
finally
finish
the
animal
with
spears
,
when
it
should
return
to
the
surface
of
the
ocean
.
Whalers
sometimes
employ
firearms
for
this
kind
of
fishing
.
By
means
of
a
special
instrument
,
a
sort
of
small
cannon
,
stationed
either
on
board
the
ship
or
at
the
front
of
the
boat
,
they
throw
either
a
harpoon
,
which
draws
with
it
the
rope
fastened
to
its
end
,
or
explosive
balls
,
which
produce
great
ravages
in
the
body
of
the
animal
.
But
the
"
Pilgrim
"
was
not
furnished
with
apparatus
of
this
kind
.
This
was
,
besides
,
an
instrument
of
high
price
,
rather
difficult
to
manage
,
and
fishermen
,
but
little
friendly
to
innovations
,
seem
to
prefer
the
employment
of
primitive
weapons
,
which
they
use
skilfully
--
that
is
to
say
,
--
the
harpoon
and
spear
.
It
was
then
by
the
usual
method
,
attacking
the
whale
with
the
sword
,
that
Captain
Hull
was
going
to
attempt
to
capture
the
jubarte
signaled
five
miles
from
his
ship
.
Besides
,
the
weather
would
favor
this
expedition
.
The
sea
,
being
very
calm
,
was
propitious
for
the
working
of
a
whale-boat
.
