The
wind
was
going
down
,
and
the
"
Pilgrim
"
would
only
drift
in
an
insensible
manner
while
her
crew
were
occupied
in
the
offing
.
So
the
starboard
whale-boat
was
immediately
lowered
,
and
the
four
sailors
went
into
it
.
Howik
passed
them
two
of
those
long
spears
which
serve
as
harpoons
,
then
two
long
lances
with
sharp
points
.
To
those
offensive
arms
he
added
five
coils
of
those
strong
flexible
ropes
that
the
whalers
call
"
lines
,
"
and
which
measure
six
hundred
feet
in
length
.
Less
would
not
do
,
for
it
sometimes
happens
that
these
cords
,
fastened
end
to
end
,
are
not
enough
for
the
"
demand
,
"
the
whale
plunges
down
so
deep
.
Such
were
the
different
weapons
which
were
carefully
disposed
in
the
front
of
the
boat
.
Howik
and
the
four
sailors
only
waited
for
the
order
to
let
go
the
rope
.
A
single
place
was
vacant
in
the
prow
of
the
whale-boat
--
that
which
Captain
Hull
would
occupy
.
It
is
needless
to
say
that
the
"
Pilgrim
's
"
crew
,
before
quitting
her
,
had
brought
the
ship
's
sails
aback
.
In
other
words
,
the
yards
were
braced
in
such
a
manner
that
the
sails
,
counteracting
their
action
,
kept
the
vessel
almost
stationary
.
Just
as
he
was
about
to
embark
,
Captain
Hull
gave
a
last
glance
at
his
ship
.
He
was
sure
that
all
was
in
order
,
the
halliards
well
turned
,
the
sails
suitably
trimmed
.
As
he
was
leaving
the
young
novice
on
board
during
an
absence
which
might
last
several
hours
,
he
wished
,
with
a
good
reason
,
that
unless
for
some
urgent
cause
,
Dick
Sand
would
not
have
to
execute
a
single
maneuver
.
At
the
moment
of
departing
he
gave
the
young
man
some
last
words
of
advice
.
