That night, in the mid-watch when the old man--as his wont¹ at intervals²--stepped forth³ from the scuttle⁴ in which he leaned, and went to his pivot-hole, he suddenly thrust out his face fiercely, snuffing up the sea air as a sagacious ship's dog will, in drawing nigh to some barbarous isle⁶. He declared that a whale must be near. Soon that peculiar⁷ odor, sometimes to a great distance given forth by the living sperm⁸ whale, was palpable to all the watch; nor was any mariner⁹ surprised when, after inspecting the compass, and then the dog-vane, and then ascertaining¹¹ the precise bearing of the odor as nearly as possible, Ahab rapidly ordered the ship's course to be slightly altered, and the sail to be shortened.

The acute policy dictating¹² these movements was sufficiently¹³ vindicated¹⁴ at daybreak, by the sight of a long sleek¹⁵ on the sea directly and lengthwise ahead, smooth as oil, and resembling in the pleated watery¹⁶ wrinkles bordering it, the polished metallic-like marks of some swift tide-rip, at the mouth of a deep, rapid stream.
