Warmest climes but nurse the cruellest fangs1: the tiger of Bengal crouches2 in spiced groves3 of ceaseless verdure. Skies the most effulgent4 but basket the deadliest thunders: gorgeous Cuba knows tornadoes5 that never swept tame northern lands. So, too, it is, that in these resplendent Japanese seas the mariner6 encounters the direst of all storms, the Typhoon. It will sometimes burst from out that cloudless sky, like an exploding bomb upon a dazed and sleepy town.
Towards evening of that day, the Pequod was torn of her canvas, and bare-poled was left to fight a Typhoon which had struck her directly ahead. When darkness came on, sky and sea roared and split with the thunder, and blazed with the lightning, that showed the disabled mast fluttering here and there with the rags which the first fury of the tempest had left for its after sport.
Holding by a shroud7, Starbuck was standing8 on the quarter-deck; at every flash of the lightning glancing aloft, to see what additional disaster might have befallen the intricate hamper9 there; while Stubb and Flask10 were directing the men in the higher hoisting11 and firmer lashing12 of the boats. But all their pains seemed naught
