The
jubarte
did
not
budge
,
and
did
not
seem
to
have
yet
perceived
the
boat
,
which
described
a
circle
around
it
.
Captain
Hull
,
in
making
the
circuit
,
necessarily
went
farther
than
the
"
Pilgrim
,
"
which
gradually
grew
smaller
in
the
distance
.
This
rapidity
with
which
objects
diminish
at
sea
has
always
an
odd
effect
.
It
seems
as
if
we
look
at
them
shortened
through
the
large
end
of
a
telescope
.
This
optical
illusion
evidently
takes
place
because
there
are
no
points
of
comparison
on
these
large
spaces
.
It
was
thus
with
the
"
Pilgrim
,
"
which
decreased
to
the
eye
and
seemed
already
much
more
distant
than
she
really
was
.
Half
an
hour
after
leaving
her
,
Captain
Hull
and
his
companions
found
themselves
exactly
to
the
leeward
of
the
whale
,
so
that
the
latter
occupied
an
intermediate
point
between
the
ship
and
the
boat
.
So
the
moment
had
come
to
approach
,
while
making
as
little
noise
as
possible
.
It
was
not
impossible
for
them
to
get
beside
the
animal
and
harpoon
it
at
good
range
,
before
its
attention
would
be
attracted
.
"
Row
more
slowly
,
boys
,
"
said
Captain
Hull
,
in
a
low
voice
.
"
It
seems
to
me
,
"
replied
Howik
,
"
that
the
gudgeon
suspects
something
.
It
breathes
less
violently
than
it
did
just
now
!
"
"
Silence
!
silence
!
"
repeated
Captain
Hull
.
Five
minutes
later
the
whale-boat
was
at
a
cable
's
length
from
the
jubarte
.
A
cable
's
length
,
a
measure
peculiar
to
the
sea
,
comprises
a
length
of
one
hundred
and
twenty
fathoms
,
that
is
to
say
,
two
hundred
meters
.
