(Enter Ahab: Then, all)
It was not a great while after the affair of the pipe, that one morning shortly after breakfast, Ahab, as was his wont1, ascended2 the cabin-gangway to the deck. There most sea-captains usually walk at that hour, as country gentlemen, after the same meal, take a few turns in the garden.
Soon his steady, ivory stride was heard, as to and fro he paced his old rounds, upon planks3 so familiar to his tread, that they were all over dented4, like geological stones, with the peculiar5 mark of his walk. Did you fixedly6 gaze, too, upon that ribbed and dented brow; there also, you would see still stranger foot-prints--the foot-prints of his one unsleeping, ever-pacing thought.
But on the occasion in question, those dents7 looked deeper, even as his nervous step that morning left a deeper mark. And, so full of his thought was Ahab, that at every uniform turn that he made, now at the main-mast and now at the binnacle, you could almost see that thought turn in him as he turned, and pace in him as he paced; so completely possessing him, indeed, that it all but seemed the inward mould of every outer movement.
"D'ye mark him, Flask8?" whispered Stubb; "the chick that's in him pecks the shell. 'Twill soon be out."
The hours wore on;--Ahab now shut up within his cabin; anon, pacing the deck, with the same intense bigotry9 of purpose in his aspect.
It drew near the close of day. Suddenly he came to a halt by the bulwarks10, and inserting his bone leg into the auger-hole there, and with one hand grasping a shroud11, he ordered Starbuck to send everybody aft.
"Sir!" said the mate, astonished at an order seldom or never given on ship-board except in some extraordinary case.
"Send everybody aft," repeated Ahab. "Mast-heads, there! come down!"
When the entire ship's company were assembled, and with curious and not wholly unapprehensive faces, were eyeing him, for he looked not unlike the weather horizon when a storm is coming up, Ahab, after rapidly glancing over the bulwarks, and then darting12 his eyes among the crew, started from his standpoint; and as though not a soul were nigh him resumed his heavy turns upon the deck. With bent13 head and half-slouched hat he continued to pace, unmindful of the wondering whispering among the men; till Stubb cautiously whispered to Flask, that Ahab must have summoned them there for the purpose of witnessing a pedestrian feat14. But this did not last long. Vehemently15 pausing, he cried:--
"What do ye do when ye see a whale, men?"
"Sing out for him!" was the impulsive16 rejoinder from a score of clubbed voices.
"Good!" cried Ahab, with a wild approval in his tones; observing the hearty17 animation18 into which his unexpected question had so magnetically thrown them.
"And what do ye next, men?"
"Lower away, and after him!"
"And what tune19 is it ye pull to, men?"
"A dead whale or a stove boat!"
More and more strangely and fiercely glad and approving, grew the countenance20 of the old man at every shout; while the mariners21 began to gaze curiously22 at each other, as if marvelling23 how it was that they themselves became so excited at such seemingly purposeless questions.
But, they were all eagerness again, as Ahab, now half-revolving in his pivot-hole, with one hand reaching high up a shroud, and tightly, almost convulsively grasping it, addressed them thus:--
"All ye mast-headers have before now heard me give orders about a white whale. Look ye! d'ye see this Spanish ounce of gold?"--holding up a broad bright coin to the sun--"it is a sixteen dollar piece, men. D'ye see it? Mr. Starbuck, hand me yon top-maul."
While the mate was getting the hammer, Ahab, without speaking, was slowly rubbing the gold piece against the skirts of his jacket, as if to heighten its lustre24, and without using any words was meanwhile lowly humming to himself, producing a sound so strangely muffled25 and inarticulate that it seemed the mechanical humming of the wheels of his vitality26 in him.
Receiving the top-maul from Starbuck, he advanced towards the main-mast with the hammer uplifted in one hand, exhibiting the gold with the other, and with a high raised voice exclaiming: "Whosoever of ye raises me a white-headed whale with a wrinkled brow and a crooked27 jaw28; whosoever of ye raises me that white-headed whale, with three holes punctured29 in his starboard fluke--look ye, whosoever of ye raises me that same white whale, he shall have this gold ounce, my boys!"
"Huzza! huzza!" cried the seamen30, as with swinging tarpaulins31 they hailed the act of nailing the gold to the mast.
"It's a white whale, I say," resumed Ahab, as he threw down the topmaul: "a white whale. Skin your eyes for him, men; look sharp for white water; if ye see but a bubble, sing out."
All this while Tashtego, Daggoo, and Queequeg had looked on with even more intense interest and surprise than the rest, and at the mention of the wrinkled brow and crooked jaw they had started as if each was separately touched by some specific recollection.
"Captain Ahab," said Tashtego, "that white whale must be the same that some call Moby Dick."
"Moby Dick?" shouted Ahab. "Do ye know the white whale then, Tash?"
"Does he fan-tail a little curious, sir, before he goes down?" said the Gay-Header deliberately32.
"And has he a curious spout33, too," said Daggoo, "very bushy, even for a parmacetty, and mighty34 quick, Captain Ahab?"
"And he have one, two, tree--oh! good many iron in him hide, too, Captain," cried Queequeg disjointedly, "all twiske-tee be-twisk, like him--him-" faltering35 hard for a word, and screwing his hand round and round as though uncorking a bottle--"like him--him-"
"Corkscrew!" cried Ahab, "aye, Queequeg, the harpoons37 lie all twisted and wrenched38 in him; aye, Daggoo, his spout is a big one, like a whole shock of wheat, and white as a pile of our Nantucket wool after the great annual sheep-shearing; aye, Tashtego, and he fan-tails like a split jib in a squall. Death and devils! men, it is Moby Dick ye have seen-- Moby Dick--Moby Dick!"
"Captain Ahab," said Starbuck, who, with Stubb and Flask, had thus far been eyeing his superior with increasing surprise, but at last seemed struck with a thought which somewhat explained all the wonder. "Captain Ahab, I have heard of Moby Dick--but it was not Moby Dick that took off thy leg?"
"Who told thee that?" cried Ahab; then pausing, "Aye, Starbuck; aye, my hearties39 all round; it was Moby Dick that dismasted me; Moby Dick that brought me to this dead stump40 I stand on now. Aye, aye," he shouted with a terrific, loud, animal sob41, like that of a heart-stricken moose; "Aye, aye! it was that accursed white whale that razeed me; made a poor pegging42 lubber of me for ever and a day!" Then tossing both arms, with measureless imprecations he shouted out: "Aye, aye! and I'll chase him round Good Hope, and round the Horn, and round the Norway Maelstrom43, and round perdition's flames before I give him up. And this is what ye have shipped for, men! to chase that white whale on both sides of land, and over all sides of earth, till he spouts44 black blood and rolls fin45 out. What say ye, men, will ye splice46 hands on it, now? I think ye do look brave."
"Aye, aye!" shouted the harpooneers and seamen, running closer to the excited old man: "A sharp eye for the White Whale; a sharp lance for Moby Dick!"
"God bless ye," he seemed to half sob and half shout. "God bless ye, men. Steward47! go draw the great measure of grog. But what's this long face about, Mr. Starbuck; wilt48 thou not chase the white whale! art not game for Moby Dick?"
"I am game for his crooked jaw, and for the jaws49 of Death too, Captain Ahab, if it fairly comes in the way of the business we follow; but I came here to hunt whales, not my commander's vengeance50. How many barrels will thy vengeance yield thee even if thou gettest it, Captain Ahab? it will not fetch thee much in our Nantucket market."
"Nantucket market! Hoot51! But come closer, Starbuck; thou requirest a little lower layer. If money's to be the measurer, man, and the accountants have computed52 their great counting-house the globe, by girdling it with guineas, one to every three parts of an inch; then, let me tell thee, that my vengeance will fetch a great premium53 here!"
"He smites54 his chest," whispered Stubb, "what's that for? methinks it rings most vast, but hollow."
"Vengeance on a dumb brute55!" cried Starbuck, "that simply smote56 thee from blindest instinct! Madness! To be enraged57 with a dumb thing, Captain Ahab, seems blasphemous58."
"Hark ye yet again--the little lower layer. All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event--in the living act, the undoubted deed--there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth59 the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask! How can the prisoner reach outside except by thrusting through the wall? To me, the white whale is that wall, shoved near to me. Sometimes I think there's naught60 beyond. But 'tis enough. He tasks me; he heaps me; I see in him outrageous61 strength, with an inscrutable malice62 sinewing it. That inscrutable thing is chiefly what I hate; and be the white whale agent, or be the white whale principal, I will wreak63 that hate upon him. Talk not to me of blasphemy64, man; I'd strike the sun if it insulted me. For could the sun do that, then could I do the other; since there is ever a sort of fair play herein, jealousy65 presiding over all creations. But not my master, man, is even that fair play. Who's over me? Truth hath no confines. Take off thine eye! more intolerable than fiends' glarings is a doltish66 stare! So, so; thou reddenest and palest; my heat has melted thee to anger-glow. But look ye, Starbuck, what is said in heat, that thing unsays itself. There are men from whom warm words are small indignity67. I meant not to incense68 thee. Let it go. Look! see yonder Turkish cheeks of spotted69 tawn--living, breathing pictures painted by the sun. The Pagan leopards--the unrecking and unworshipping things, that live; and seek, and give no reasons for the torrid life they feel! The crew, man, the crew! Are they not one and all with Ahab, in this matter of the whale? See Stubb! he laughs! See yonder Chilian! he snorts to think of it. Stand up amid the general hurricane, thy one tost sapling cannot, Starbuck! And what is it? Reckon it. 'Tis but to help strike a fin; no wondrous70 feat for Starbuck. What is it more? From this one poor hunt, then, the best lance out of all Nantucket, surely he will not hang back, when every foremast-hand has clutched a whetstone. Ah! constrainings seize thee; I see! the billow lifts thee! Speak, but speak!--Aye, aye! thy silence, then, that voices thee. (Aside) Something shot from my dilated72 nostrils73, he has inhaled74 it in his lungs. Starbuck now is mine; cannot oppose me now, without rebellion."
"God keep me!--keep us all!" murmured Starbuck, lowly.
But in his joy at the enchanted75, tacit acquiescence76 of the mate, Ahab did not hear his foreboding invocation; nor yet the low laugh from the hold; nor yet the presaging77 vibrations78 of the winds in the cordage; nor yet the hollow flap of the sails against the masts, as for a moment their hearts sank in. For again Starbuck's downcast eyes lighted up with the stubbornness of life; the subterranean79 laugh died away; the winds blew on; the sails filled out; the ship heaved and rolled as before. Ah, ye admonitions and warnings! why stay ye not when ye come? But rather are ye predictions than warnings, ye shadows! Yet not so much predictions from without, as verifications of the fore-going things within. For with little external to constrain71 us, the innermost necessities in our being, these still drive us on.
"The measure! the measure!" cried Ahab.
Receiving the brimming pewter, and turning to the harpooneers, he ordered them to produce their weapons. Then ranging them before him near the capstan, with their harpoons in their hands, while his three mates stood at his side with their lances, and the rest of the ship's company formed a circle round the group; he stood for an instant searchingly eyeing every man of his crew. But those wild eyes met his, as the bloodshot eyes of the prairie wolves meet the eye of their leader, ere he rushes on at their head in the trail of the bison; but, alas80! only to fall into the hidden snare81 of the Indian.
"Drink and pass!" he cried, handing the heavy charged flagon to the nearest seaman82. "The crew alone now drink. Round with it, round! Short draughts--long swallows, men; 'tis hot as Satan's hoof83. So, so; it goes round excellently. It spiralizes in ye; forks out at the serpent-snapping eye. Well done; almost drained. That way it went, this way it comes. Hand it me--here's a hollow! Men, ye seem the years; so brimming life is gulped84 and gone. Steward, refill!
"Attend now, my braves. I have mustered85 ye all round this capstan; and ye mates, flank me with your lances; and ye harpooneers, stand there with your irons; and ye, stout86 mariners, ring me in, that I may in some sort revive a noble custom of my fisherman fathers before me. O men, you will yet see that--Ha! boy, come back? bad pennies come not sooner. Hand it me. Why, now, this pewter had run brimming again, wert not thou St. Vitus' imp--away, thou ague!
"Advance, ye mates! Cross your lances full before me. Well done! Let me touch the axis87." So saying, with extended arm, he grasped the three level, radiating lances at their crossed centre; while so doing, suddenly and nervously88 twitched89 them; meanwhile glancing intently from Starbuck to Stubb; from Stubb to Flask. It seemed as though, by some nameless, interior volition90, he would fain have shocked into them the same fiery91 emotion accumulated within the Leyden jar of his own magnetic life. The three mates quailed92 before his strong, sustained, and mystic aspect. Stubb and Flask looked sideways from him; the honest eye of Starbuck fell downright.
"In vain!" cried Ahab; "but, maybe, 'tis well. For did ye three but once take the full-forced shock, then mine own electric thing, that had perhaps expired from out me. Perchance, too, it would have dropped ye dead. Perchance ye need it not. Down lances! And now, ye mates, I do appoint ye three cupbearers to my three pagan kinsmen93 there-- yon three most honorable gentlemen and noblemen, my valiant94 harpooneers. Disdain95 the task? What, when the great Pope washes the feet of beggars, using his tiara for ewer96? Oh, my sweet cardinals97! your own condescension98, that shall bend ye to it. I do not order ye; ye will it. Cut your seizings and draw the poles, ye harpooneers!"
Silently obeying the order, the three harpooneers now stood with the detached iron part of their harpoons, some three feet long, held, barbs99 up, before him.
"Stab me not with that keen steel! Cant100 them; cant them over! know ye not the goblet101 end? Turn up the socket102! So, so; now, ye cup-bearers, advance. The irons! take them; hold them while I fill!" Forthwith, slowly going from one officer to the other, he brimmed the harpoon36 sockets103 with the fiery waters from the pewter.
"Now, three to three, ye stand. Commend the murderous chalices104! Bestow105 them, ye who are now made parties to this indissoluble league. Ha! Starbuck! but the deed is done! Yon ratifying106 sun now waits to sit upon it. Drink, ye harpooneers! drink and swear, ye men that man the deathful whaleboat's bow-- Death to Moby Dick! God hunt us all, if we do not hunt Moby Dick to his death!" The long, barbed steel goblets107 were lifted; and to cries and maledictions against the white whale, the spirits were simultaneously108 quaffed109 down with a hiss110. Starbuck paled, and turned, and shivered. Once more, and finally, the replenished111 pewter went the rounds among the frantic112 crew; when, waving his free hand to them, they all dispersed113; and Ahab retired114 within his cabin.
