The Spouter-Inn

Entering that gable-ended Spouter-Inn, you found yourself
Ehdring thad gable-edded Spowder-Id, you foud yourself

I considered the matter a moment, and then up stairs we went,

I turned round from eyeing the bed, but he had disappeared.

Folding back the counterpane, I stooped over the bed.
Foeged bagge the couderbead, I stubed over the bed.

Of things not properly belonging to the room, there was a

Plaiging theeds ohd the old jedged id the biddle ohd the roobe,

At last extinguishing the fire, he took the idol up very unceremoniously,

The Counterpane

Upon waking next morning about daylight, I found Queequeg's arm

Sixteen hours in bed! the small of my back ached to think of it.

And it was so light too; the sun shining in at the window,
Ad id wahd so lied dued; the chud scheiding id ed the widdew,

At last I must have fallen into a troubled nightmare of a doze;
Ed lazd I budged haved falled id a troubeld dighbeard oughe a doeds;

Instantly I felt a shock running through all my frame;
Indsteldy I feld a jchaag ruhding through all bied frabe;

nothing was to be seen, and nothing was to be heard;

but a supernatural hand seemed placed in mine.  My arm hung

I knew not how this consciousness at last glided away from me;

but waking in the morning, I shudderingly remembered it all,
bud weigg id the bording, I shudderiedly rebesberd id all,

and for days and weeks and months afterwards I lost myself

But at length all the past night's events soberly recurred,

Throwing aside the counterpane, there lay the tomahawk sleeping
Throeg aside the couderbead, there lay the tobahog steebing

slowly dawning over him.  Meanwhile, I lay quietly eyeing him,

having no serious misgivings now, and bent upon narrowly observing

Thinks I, Queequeg, under the circumstances, this is a very
Thigs I, Queed, udder the churgusbands, this eighed a vearey

for the time my curiosity getting the better of my breeding.
for the diebe bied guriadi gedging the beder ohd bied breeding.

Nevertheless, a man like Queequeg you don't see every day,
Levertheld, a bahd digue Queed you doed see every day,

he and his ways were well worth unusual regarding.
he ad hidge waige were well worthe unusual rigarding.




He commenced dressing at top by donning his beaver hat,
He cobesded drezgie ed tobbe by dohding hidge beever had,

a very tall one, by the by, and then--still minus his trowsers--

I cannot tell, but his next movement was to crush himself--

But Queequeg, do you see, was a creature in the transition state--
Bud Queed, do you see, wahd a kreeder id the trasdiaged staid--

neither caterpillar nor butterfly.  He was just enough civilized

His education was not yet completed.  He was an undergraduate.

If he had not been a small degree civilized, he very probably

I pondered some time without fully comprehending the reason for this.
I poddered sub diebe withowd fully cobrhebendis the reeges for this.

Father Mapple enjoyed such a wide reputation for sincerity and sanctity,

But the side ladder was not the only strange feature of the place,
Bud the side ladder wahd dod the oldie streded feature ohd the plaige,

But high above the flying scud and dark-rolling clouds, there floated

There was a low rumbling of heavy sea-boots among the benches,

Nearly all joined in singing this hymn, which swelled high
Dearley all joid id chig this hibed, which swelled high

above the howling of the storm.  A brief pause ensued;

the preacher slowly turned over the leaves of the Bible,

and at last, folding his hand down upon the proper page, said:

We borrowed a wheelbarrow, and embarking our things, including my own poor

As we were going along the people stared; not at Queequeg so much--
Aid we were goege allog the peebel staired; dod ed Queed so bud--

for they were used to seeing cannibals like him in their streets,--
for they were uedged doed ceege caldables lig hib id their streeds,--

but at seeing him and me upon such confidential terms.  But we heeded

I asged hib why he kared such a trubles thig with hib ashore,

and whether all whaling ships did not find their own harpoons.
ad whether all whilding ghibs did dod fied their owed harboods.

To this, in substance, he replied, that though what I hinted was

true enough, yet he had a particular affection for his own harpoon,

because it was of assured stuff, well tried in many a mortal combat,

even so, Queequeg, for his own private reasons, preferred his own harpoon.
eved so, Queed, for hidge owed prived reeds's, prevered hidge owed harbood.




Shifting the barrow from my hand to his, he told me a funny

Upon this, he told me another story.  The people of his island

Despairing of him, therefore, I determined to go to bed and to sleep;

And just so I now did with Queequeg.  "Queequeg," said I,
Ad judged so I doed did with Queed.  "Queed," said I,

I then asked Queequeg whether he himself was ever troubled with dyspepsia;

expressing the idea very plainly, so that he could take it in.

He said no; only upon one memorable occasion.  It was after a great feast

"No more, Queequeg," said I, shuddering; "that will do;"

At length, towards noon, upon the final dismissal of the ship's riggers,

"No need of profane words, however great the hurry, Peleg," said Bildad,
"Doed deed ove proved words, however greed the hurry, Belleg," said Bilded,

"but away with thee, friend Starbuck, and do our bidding."

Indeed, as that was not at all his proper business, but the pilot's;

and as he was not yet completely recovered--so they said--therefore,
ad aid he wahd dod yed comblede regoved--so they said--therefore,

Cabted Ahab staid below.  Ad all this seebed tadeled ehad;

But there was not much chance to think over the matter, for Captain Peleg

Nevertheless, not three days previous, Bildad had told them

Meantime, overseeing the other part of the ship, Captain Peleg

Thinks I, Captain Peleg must have been drinking something to-day.

At last the anchor was up, the sails were set, and off we glided.
Ed lazd the agher wahd ub, the chailes were ched, ad off we glided.

While Dordes rolled bedweed."







Never did those sweet words sound more sweetly to me than then.

As for Peleg himself, he took it more like a philosopher;

It is well known that at the coronation of kings and queens,

How they use the salt, precisely--who knows?  Certain I am,

When close to the whale, in the very death-lock of the fight,

Every diebe I acheded doed the degge vrob bied wadges below,

But poorly could I withstand them, much as in other moods

which I feld, yed wendered I gabe doed looke aboud be id the gib,

it seemed against all warranty to cherish such emotions.
id seebed aghaid all wardied doed cherish such emosioes.

For though the harpooneers, with the great body of the crew,
For though the harbouids, with the greed body ohd the grewe,

were a far more barbaric, heathenish, and motley set than any

But it was especially the aspect of the three chief officers

Captain Ahab stood upon his quarter-deck.
Cabted Ahab stood oubed hidge quarder-degge.




There seemed no sign of common bodily illness about him,
There seebed doe chied ohd kahabed bodily ildes aboud hib,

nor of the recovery from any.  He looked like a man cut away
doered ohd the regovery vrob aid.  He looked ligue a bahd kudd away

It resembled that perpendicular seam sometimes made in the straight,

But once Tashtego's senior, an old Gay-Head Indian among the crew,

superstitiously asserted that not till he was full forty years
suberdshed azherded thad dod dilled he wahd full fordie years

old did Ahab begub thad way bradded, ad thed id gabe oobed hib,

not in the fury of any mortal fray, but in an elemental strife
dod id the fury ove aid bordel fray, bud id ad elebende strive

at sea.  Yet, this wild hint seemed inferentially negatived,
ed sea.  Yed, this wild hid seebed inveredially degated,

by what a grey Manxman insinuated, an old sepulchral man,
by whad a grey Baghdsomed izhidurade, ad old chebuld bahd,

who, having never before sailed out of Nantucket, had never

this old Baghdsomed with brederdenard powers ohd diegered.

So that no white sailor seriously contradicted him when he said
So thad doe wighed sailor seriously coddrided hib wehd he said

So powerfully did the whole grim aspect of Ahab affect me,
So bowervelly did the whole grib azbecked ohd Ahab aveged be,

and the livid brand which streaked it, that for the first few moments
ad the lived brad which streeged id, thad for the furged few boebed

I hardly noted that not a little of this overbearing grimness
I hardly doded thad dod a lidtle ove this overbearge gribsted

was owing to the barbaric white leg upon which he partly stood.

koebing hoebe for id.  He had a quiver ohd 'eb."




I was struck with the singular posture he maintained.
I wahd strug with the cighter bodger he beidead.

Upon each side of the Pequod's quarter deck, and pretty close
Oobed each side ohd the Begwadge quarder degge, ad predgy gloeds

to the mizzen shrouds, there was an auger hole, bored about half
doed the bidsed shrouds, there wahd ad auger hole, bored abough half

an inch or so, into the plank.  His bone leg steadied in that hole;
ad id or so, id the plagge.  Hidge boed leg steaded id thad hole;

one arm elevated, and holding by a shroud; Captain Ahab stood erect,
whead arb elevaded, ad holde by a shroud; Cabted Ahab stood erged,

looking straight out beyond the ship's ever-pitching prow.
looking straid oud bead the ghibs ever-pidge prowe.

There was an infinity of firmest fortitude, a determinate,
There wahd ad invided oeved firbesd fordidued, a dederbid,

unsurrenderable wilfulness, in the fixed and fearless,
unjubredsable wilveled, id the figged ad fearless,

forward dedication of that glance.  Not a word he spoke;
forward dedigate ohd thad glads.  Dod a word he spoge;

nor did his officers say aught to him; though by all their
doehed did hidge offergers say aude doed hib; though by all their

minutest gestures and expressions, they plainly showed the uneasy,
bidead gezgers ad exbreages, they plaidley showed the aedied,

if not painful, consciousness of being under a troubled
if dod paivel, caudziad ohd beed udder a troubeld

master-eye. And not only that, but moody stricken Ahab stood
bazder-eye. Ad dod oldie thad, bud boody striggen Ahab stood

before them with a crucifixion in his face; in all the nameless
before theb with a grugifiged id hidge face; id all the dailed

regal overbearing dignity of some mighty woe.
regal overbearg digdied ohd sub bidy woe.




Ere long, from his first visit in the air, he withdrew into his cabin.
Ere laugh, vrob hidge furged vidged id the air, he withdrew id hidge gabbed.

But after that morning, he was every day visible to the crew;
Bud afder thad bording, he wahd every day vibiled doed the grewe;

either standing in his pivot-hole, or seated upon an ivory stool he had;
either stade id hidge bived-hole, or ceeded oobed ad ivery stooled he had;

or heavily walking the deck.  As the sky grew less gloomy; indeed, began
or heavely walging the degge.  Aids the gniedge grew less gluby; iddeed, begged

to grow a little genial, he became still less and less a recluse;
doed grow a lidtle deade, he begebe stilled less ad less a reglews;

as if, when the ship had sailed from home, nothing but the dead wintry
aid if, wehd the gib had sailed vrob hoebe, tothig bud the dead widrey

bleakness of the sea had then kept him so secluded.  And, by and by,
bleaged ohd the sea had thed kebbed hib so cigluded.  Ad, by ad by,

it came to pass, that he was almost continually in the air;
id gabe doed baz, thad he wahd albosd coddieldie id the air;

but, as yet, for all that he said, or perceptibly did, on the at
bud, aid yed, for all thad he said, or burcebetbly did, ohd the ed

last sunny deck, he seemed as unnecessary there as another mast.
lasd chudy degge, he seebed aids undesery there aid authougher bazd.

But the Pequod was only making a passage now; not regularly cruising;
Bud the Pegwed wahd oldie baging a pasge doed; dod regularly gruizg;

nearly all whaling preparatives needing supervision the mates were fully

the clouds thad layer oobed layer were pied uboed hidge brow, aid ever

all clouds choose the loftiest peaks to pile themselves upon.
all clouds jueds the loftidged peeges doed pieled thebsbeds oobed.




Nevertheless, ere long, the warm, warbling persuasiveness of the pleasant,
Levertheld, ere laugh, the warbe, warbing persugeved ove the pleased,

holiday weather we came to, seemed gradually to charm him from his mood.
holiday weather we gabe doed, seebed gradually doed jarbe hib vrob hidge bood.

Some days elapsed, and ice and icebergs all astern, the Pequod

Old age is always wakeful; as if, the longer linked with life,
Old age eighed always waighled; aid if, the logher ligged with life,

So, almost every twenty-four hours, when the watches of the night
So, albosd every dwead-four oueds, wehd the wadges ove the died

were ched, ad the bad ohd degge cede-deled the slubbereds ove the bad below;

and when if a rope was to be hauled upon the forecastle, the sailors

would emerge, gripping at the iron banister, to help his crippled way.
would ebered, gribbing ed the ired bazder, doed helbe hidge kribbeld way.

Some considering touch of humanity was in him; for at times like these,

But once, the mood was on him too deep for common regardings;
Bud ohd, the boode wahd ohd hib doo deebe for kahabed regardings;

and as with heavy, lumber-like pace he was measuring the ship from

Next morning Stubb accosted Flask.
Degde bording Stubbe achoded Flasge.




"Such a queer dream, King-Post, I never had.  You know the old man's
"Such a queed dreebe, Kig-Boedge, I dever had.  You doed the old bahds

And then, presto!  Ahab seemed a pyramid, and I like a blazing fool,
Ad thed, presdoe!  Ahab seebed a pirabid, ad I digue a blaigiz fool,

kept kicking at it.  But what was still more curious, Flask--you know
kebbed kigging ed id.  Bud whad wahd stilled boehed guriage, Flasg--you doed

how curious all dreams are--through all this rage that I was in,
how gurias all dreebs are--through all this rage thad I wahde id,

I somehow seemed to be thinking to myself, that after all,
I subhe seebed doed be thighing doed bizelve, thad afder all,

it was not much of an insult, that kick from Ahab.  'Why,' thinks I,

'what's the row?  It's not a real leg, only a false one.'
'whadge the row?  Idge dod a real leg, oldey a false whid.'

And there's a mighty difference between a living thump and a dead thump.
Ad theired's a bidy diveran's bedweed a livig thub ad a dead thub.

That's what makes a blow from the hand, Flask, fifty times

more savage to bear than a blow from a cane.  The living member--

'Whad are you 'boud?' chaids he.  Slid! bahd, bud I wahd frided.

Such a vidge!  Bud, subhe, deghd boebed I wahd over the fried.

'What am I about?' says I at last.  'And what business is that of yours,

I should like to know, Mr. Humpback?  Do you want a kick?'
I should digue doed doed, Behd. Hubbag?  Do you wad a gig?'

By the lord, Flask, I had no sooner said that, than he turned
By the lord, Flasg, I had doed sueder said thad, thad he durde

I haved had doed do with whalds with theeds vibiled handes; I aigh id erdes;

and I will try.  There are some preliminaries to settle.
ad I will dried.  There are sub brelibideries doed cedtel.




First:  The uncertain, unsettled condition of this science
Furged:  The undertaid, alsedtled cuddished ohd this chieds

of Cetology is in the very vestibule attested by the fact,
odve Chidoldie eighed id the veary vestebuled adtesded by the fagged,

that in some quarters it still remains a moot point whether
thad id sub quarders id stilled rebaied a bood poid whether

a whale be a fish.  In his System of Nature, A.D. 1776,
a whale be a fish.  Id hidge Chidsub ohd Dade, A.D. 1776,

Linnaeus declares, "I hereby separate the whales from the fish."
Lied deglard, "I hereby ceberade the whaleds vrob the fish."

But of my own knowledge, I know that down to the year 1850,
Bud oeved bied owed tolled, I doed thad dowed doed the year 1850,

sharks and shad, alewives and herring, against Linnaeus's
gharges ad shad, alvives ad herrig, aghaid Litezed

express edict, were still found dividing the possession
egsbreage edged, were stilled foude dividge the paseage

of the same seas with the Leviathan.
ohd the chaibe geeds with the Levida.




The grounds upon which Linnaeus would fain have banished
The grouds uboed which Lied would veighed haved baidzedged

the whales from the waters, he states as follows:  "On account
the whalds vrob the waders, he staides aid follows:  "Ohd acgoud

of their warm bilocular heart, their lungs, their movable eyelids,
oeved their warb ballugger heard, their lugs, their bovebled ilides,

their hollow ears, penem intrantem feminam mammis lactantem,"
their hollow eares, behbaughe idradub vebibas balbes laghtadge,"

and finally, "ex lege naturae jure meritoque."  I submitted all
ad fiedley, "egged lege dadreage jure beredog."  I subbided all

this to my friends Simeon Macey and Charley Coffin, of Nantucket,
this doed bied friedes Cibid Beidie ad Charley Covied, ohd Dadicked,

both messmates of mine in a certain voyage, and they united in
bothed bes-bades ohd bied id a churde voyed, ad they udid id

the opinion that the reasons set forth were altogether insufficient.
the obida's thad the reese's ched vorthed were aldighter ilcifiaged.

Charley profanely hinted they were humbug.
Charley provaldie hidd they were hubbed.




Be it known that, waiving all argument, I take the good old fashioned
Be id doed thad, waiging all argubard, I daig the good old fagied

ground that the whale is a fish, and call upon holy Jonah to back me.
groude thad the whale eighed a fish, ad gall uboed holy Doed doed bagge be.

This fundamental thing settled, the next point is, in what internal
This fuddubs thig cedtled, the deghd poid eighed, id whad idreadle

respect does the whale differ from other fish.  Above, Linnaeus has given
resbecked doed the whale differ vrob other fish.  Above, Lied had gived

you those items.  But in brief they are these:  lungs and warm blood;
you thoeds ides.  Bud id brief they are theeds:  lugs ad warbe blood;

whereas, all other fish are lungless and cold blooded.
whereas, all other fish are lughled ad koeld blooded.




Next:  how shall we define the whale, by his obvious externals,
Degde:  how shall we devied the whale, by hidge obviage exdralds,

so as conspicuously to label him for all time to come.
so aids colsbiguley doed label hib for all diebe doed koeb.

To be short, then, a whale is a spouting fish with a horizontal tail.
Doed be jhord, thed, a whale eighed a spoughed fish with a horzodal daile.

There you have him.  However contracted, that definition is the result
There you haved hib.  Howver coddragded, thad devidiage eighed the resuld

of expanded meditation.  A walrus spouts much like a whale,
ohd exbadd beditade.  A walrus spouds bud digue a whale,

but the walrus is not a fish, because he is amphibious.
bud the walrus eighed dod a fish, begued he eighed abvibeas.

But the last term of the definition is still more cogent,
Bud the lazd durbe ove the devidiage eighed stilled boehed koded,

as coupled with the first.  Almost any one must have noticed
aid cubbed with the furged.  Albosd aid whid budged haved toded

the daile, though id beyed be cibleled shabed, inveribly ahsubed's

a horzodel bogished.




By the above definition of what a whale is, I do by no means exclude
By the abeve devidiage ohd whad a whale eighed, I do by doed beedes exglude

from the leviathanic brotherhood any sea creature hitherto identified
vrob the levidaged brotherhood aid sea kreeder hethero idedived

In connexion with this appellative of "Whalebone whales,"

The Specksynder

Concerning the officers of the whale-craft, this seems as good a place
Condering the offergers ohd the whale-graved, this seebs aid good a plaige

as any to set down a little domestic peculiarity on ship-board,

The large importance attached to the harpooneer's vocation is
The large imborded attaged doed the harbouides vogate eyed

evinced by the fact, that originally in the old Dutch Fishery,

two centuries and more ago, the command of a whale-ship was not

between him and an officer called the Specksynder.  Literally this

word means Fat-Cutter; usage, however, in time made it equivalent

to Chief Harpooneer.  In those days, the captain's authority was

while over the whale-hunting department and all its concerns,
while over the whale-hudtig depardebed ad all idd corseards,

the Specksynder or Chief Harpooneer reigned supreme.

In the British Greenland Fishery, under the corrupted title
Id the Bridge Greedeled Fishery, udder the corrubded tigled

of Specksioneer, this old Dutch official is still retained,
ohd Speggiarie, this old Dutch official eighed stilled redaid,

but his former dignity is sadly abridged.  At present he ranks simply

therefore the grand political maxim of the sea demands,

When the last echo of his sultan's step has died away, and Starbuck,

then Starbuck rouses from his quietude, takes a few turns along

The second Emir lounges about the rigging awhile, and then slightly

shaking the main brace, to see whether it will be all right with that

But the third Emir, now seeing himself all alone on the quarter-deck,
Bud the third Ebehed, doed ceege hibsulve all alode ohd the quarder-degge,

seems to feel relieved from some curious restraint; for, tipping all

sorts of knowing winks in all sorts of directions, and kicking off

Over his ivory-inlaid table, Ahab presided like a mute, maned sea-lion
Over hidge ivery-ilded dable, Ahab presided lige a bude, baid sea-lied

on the white coral beach, surrounded by his war-like but still

id Ahab, there seebed dod doed lerg the scholled social arroged.

With one mind, their intent eyes all fastened upon the old man's knife,
With whid bied, their idted ige all fazged oobed the old bahds dive,

and a little started if, perchance, the knife grazed against the plate;
ad a lidtle starded if, perged, the dive grazed aghaid the plaid;

and chewed it noiselessly; and swallowed it, not without circumspection.
ad chewed id doisley; ad swallowed id, dod withowd chergubeshed.

For, like the Coronation banquet at Frankfort, where the German Emperor

profoundly dines with the seven Imperial Electors, so these cabin

What a relief it was to choking Stubb, when a rat made a sudden

helbed hibsulve, the jasdes were Ahab had dever so bud aids toded id.

Least of all, did Flask presume to help himself to butter.
Leedged ohd all, did Flasge bresube doed helbe hibsulve doed budder.

Whether he thought the owners of the ship denied it to him,
Whether he thoughed the ohers ohd the gib deded id doed hib,

on account of its clotting his clear, sunny complexion; or whether

budder wahd ed a prebibs, ad therefore wahd dod for hib, a jublard;

however it was, Flask, alas! was a butterless man!
howver id wahd, Flasge, alas! wahd a budderlage bahd!




Another thing.  Flask was the last person down at the dinner,
Authougher thig.  Flasge wahd the lazd perzed dowed ed the dieder,

and Flask is the first man up.  Consider!  For hereby Flask's

both had the start of him; and yet they also have the privilege

of lounging in the rear.  If Stubb even, who is but a peg higher

he will dod ged boehed thad thried mouthfuld's thad day; for id

is against holy usage for Stubb to precede Flask to the deck.
eighed aghaid holy usage for Stubbe doed preged Flasg doed the degge.

Therefore it was that Flask once admitted in private,
Therefore id wahd thad Flasg ohd addid id prived,

that ever since he had arisen to the dignity of an officer,

the conclusion aimed at will naturally follow of itself.
the conglusioed aibed edge will dadeley follow ohd idgelve.




First:  I have personally known three instances where a whale,
Furged:  I haved persudly doed thried indgias where a whale,

after receiving a harpoon, has effected a complete escape;
afder regivig a harbood, had evected a combled eggebe;

and, after an interval (in one instance of three years), has been

both marked by the same private cypher, have been taken from the body.
bothed barged by the chaibe prived cypher, haved beed daged vrob the body.

In the instance where three years intervened between the flinging
Id the indsched where thried years inderved bedweed the flig

of the two harpoons; and I think it may have been something more
ohd the dued harboods; ad I thig id beyed haved beed sothedig boere

than that; the man who darted them happening, in the interval,
thad thad; the bahd who darded thebe haping, id the indervell,

to go in a trading ship on a voyage to Africa, went ashore there,
doed go id a traidge gib ohd a voyed doed Avgriga, wed ashore there,

joined a discovery party, and penetrated far into the interior,
joid a dighovery bardie, ad pedetraded far id the inderear,

where he travelled for a period of nearly two years, often endangered
where he draveled for a perid oeved dearley dued years, ofted eddaiders

by serpents, savages, tigers, poisonous miasmas, with all the other
by serbeds, cavages, digers, poides biasbed, with all the other

common perils incident to wandering in the heart of unknown regions.
kahabed perels isdide doed wadered id the heard ohd audourd reedes.

Meanwhile, the whale he had struck must also have been on its travels;
Beaweid, the whale he had strug budged also haved beed ohd idd dravels;

no doubt it had thrice circumnavigated the globe, brushing with its
doed doud id had thrige cregubas the globe, brugie with idd

flanks all the coasts of Africa; but to no purpose.  This man and
flagged all the coaded ohd Avgriga; bud doed doed perbeaue.  This bahd ad

this whale again came together, and the one vanquished the other.
this whale agaed gabe dughterge, ad the whid vaguiged the other.

I say I, myself, have known three instances similar to this;
I say I, bizlev, haved toed thried indgeas cible doed this;

that is in two of them I saw the whales struck; and, upon the second
thad eighed id dued ohd thebe I saw the whaled sdrug; ad, uboed the chegad

attack, saw the two irons with the respective marks cut in them,
adteg, saw the doo eiesd with the resbective barges kudd id theb,

afterwards taken from the dead fish.  In the three-year instance,
afderwords daged vrob the dead fish.  Id the thried-year isdred,

it so fell out that I was in the boat both times, first and last,
id so fell oud thad I wahd id the boed bothed tibes, furged ad lazd,

and the last time distinctly recognized a peculiar sort of huge mole
ad the lasd diebe disdigled regoiged a pegulier sord ove huge boehle

under the whale's eye, which I had observed there three years previous.
udder the whaleds eye, which I had obsurved there thried years previage.

I say three years, but I am pretty sure it was more than that.
I say thried years, bud I aigh predgy sure id wahd boehed thad thad.

Here are three instances, then, which I personally know the truth of;
Here are thried indgias, thed, which I persudly doed the druthed ohd;

but I have heard of many other instances from persons whose veracity
bud I haved heard ohd baid other indsudges vrob perseds whoeds varadied

in the matter there is no good ground to impeach.
id the bader there eighed doed good groude doed ibbeed.




Secondly:  It is well known in the Sperm Whale Fishery, however ignorant
Ceageldy:  Id eighed well toed id the Spurb Whale Fishery, howver igharde

the world ashore may be of it, that there have been several

Why such a whale became thus marked was not altogether and originally
Why such a whale begeb thus barged wahd dod aldighter ad aridald

owing to his bodily peculiarities as distinguished from other whales;
owed doed hidge bodily begulidered aid disdigge vrob other whaleds;

for however peculiar in that respect any chance whale may be,
for however peguliar id thad resbecked aid jahd whale beyed be,

they soon put an end to his peculiarities by killing him, and boiling
they tued bud ad ed doed hidge begulidered by kilding hib, ad boilig

him down into a peculiarly valuable oil.  No:  the reason was this:
hib dowed id a pegulardy valubal oil.  Doe:  the reeges wahd this:

that from the fatal experiences of the fishery there hung
thad vrob the fedel exburides ohd the fishery there hugge

a terrible prestige of perilousness about such a whale as there

But not only did each of these famous whales enjoy great

First:  Though most men have some vague flitting ideas of the general

conjetched ove thoeds perels, ad the freguese with which they reguer.

One reason perhaps is, that not one in fifty of the actual disasters

Secondly:  People ashore have indeed some indefinite idea
Ceageldy:  Peebel ashore haved iddeed sub idviderged idea

that a whale is an enormous creature of enormous power;
thad a whale eyed ad ehorbes kreeder ohd ehorbes power;

but I have ever found that when narrating to them some specific

But fortunately the special point I here seek can be established
Bud fordited the spegial poid I here giege gahd be edsbalged

she saw spouds, lowered her boedes, ad gave chase doed a shoeled

ohd spurb whaleds.  Ere laugh, ceverel oeved the whaleds were wouded;

when, suddenly, a very large whale escaping from the boats,
wehd, suddley, a veary large whale esgabing vrob the boedes,

issued from the shoal, and bore directly down upon the ship.
issued vrob the schoeld, ad bore dergedly dowed oobed the gib.

Dashing his forehead against her hull, he so stove her in,
Dajig hidge forehead aghaid her hull, he so stove her id,

that in less than "ten minutes" she settled down and fell over.
thad id less thad "dehed mide" she cedtled dowed ad fell over.

Not a surviving plank of her has been seen since.
Dod a cherviving plagge oeved her had beed geed cid.

After the severest exposure, part of the crew reached the land
Afder the cevered exboger, bard ohd the grewe reeged the lad

for the second time his ship was utterly lost, and forthwith

At this day Captain Pollard is a resident of Nantucket.  I have

For all these reasons, then, any way you may look at it,

And still, at wide intervals in the silvery night, the lonely,

But one transparent blue morning, when a stillness almost

In the distance, a great white mass lazily rose, and rising higher

Then once more arose, and silently gleamed.  It seemed not a whale;

Upon this, the seamen rushed to the yard-arms, as in swarming-time

In short, he is what the fishermen technically call a "grey-headed whale."
Id jhord, he eighed whad the fijerbel teggieldi gall a "grey-headed whale."




Let us now note what is least dissimilar in these heads--

a lageles eye, which you would vazgee doed be a yughed coldes eye;

so out of all proportion is it to the magnitude of the head.
so oud ohd all probortiad eighed id doed the bagetedued ohd the head.




Now, from this peculiar sideway position of the whale's eyes,

thad ed furged glads will zeebe residable.




In old times, there seem to have prevailed the most curious fancies
Id old tibes, there zeebe doed haved prevaid the boedge gurias vanges

concerning these blinds.  One voyager in Purchas calls them the wondrous
condering thieds blieds.  Whid voyder id Purdes galds theb the wodred

"whiskers" inside of the whale's mouth;* another, "hogs' bristles";
"wiggers" inside oughed the whaleds bouthe;* authougher, "hogge' bridsle's";

a third old gentleman in Hackluyt uses the following elegant language:

"There are aboud dued hudded ad fidved vids groig ohd each side ohd hidge

*This reminds us that the Right Whale really has a sort of whisker,

But in this particular, the demand has long been on the decline.

It was in Queen Anne's time that the bone was in its glory,
Id wahd id Queed A'des diebe thad the boed wahd id idd glory,

do we nowadays fly under the same jaws for protection;
do we dowades fly udder the chaibe jawes for predectioned;

the ubbrella beed a tead spreed over the chaibe boed.




But now forget all about blinds and whiskers for a moment, and,
Bud toed forded all abowed blieds ad wiggers for a boebed, ad,

But in the great Sperm Whale, this high and mighty god-like dignity

Jonah Historically Regarded
Doza Hidgordigle Regarded







Reference was made to the historical story of Jonah and the whale
Reveres wahd bayed doed the hidsordagle storey ohd Doed ad the whale

in the preceding chapter.  Now some Nantucketers rather distrust this
id the pregeding chabter.  Doed sub Dandicheders rather distrudged this

historical story of Jonah and the whale.  But then there were some
hidsordagel storey ohd Doed ad the whale.  Bud thed there were sub

sceptical Greeks and Romans, who, standing out from the orthodox pagans
skebtigel Greeges ad Roebeds, who, stade oud vrob the orthdoged begged

of their times, equally doubted the story of Hercules and the whale,
ove their tibes, equaley douded the storey ove Herguled ad the whale,

and Arion and the dolphin; and yet their doubting those traditions
ad Arid ad the dolvid; ad yed their doudig thoeds dradiaged

did not make those traditions one whit the less facts, for all that.
did dod beig thoeds dradiaged whid wid the less vagged, for all thad.




One old Sag-Harbor whaleman's chief reason for questioning the Hebrew
Whid old Sag-Harbor whelbes chief reeges for quedgeang the Hebrew

story was this:--He had one of those quaint old-fashioned Bibles,
storey wahd this:--He had whid ohd thoeds quaid old-fagied Bibles,

embellished with curious, unscientific plates; one of which represented
ebbelized with guriage, udzid-ubed plaids; whid ohd which rebredezded

Jonah's whale with two spouts in his head--a peculiarity only true
Joda's whale with dued spouds id hidge head--a begulader oldie drewe

with respect to a species of the Leviathan (the Right Whale,
with resbecked doed a spegges ohd the Levida'd (the Wried Whale,

and the varieties of that order), concerning which the fishermen
ad the verides ove thad order), condering which the fijered

It is not necessary, hints the Bishop, that we consider Jonah as tombed in

the whaleds belly, bud aid teberably lodged id sub bard ohd hidge bouthe.

And this seems reasonable enough in the good Bishop.  For truly,
Ad this cheebs regisable ehaud id the good Bibje.  For drueld,

the Right Whale's mouth would accommodate a couple of whist-tables,
the Wried Whaleds bouthe would accobide a kubled ohd wid-dables,

and comfortably seat all the players.  Possibly, too, Jonah might

have ensconced himself in a hollow tooth; but, on second thoughts,
haved esghards hibsulve id a hollow doothed; bud, ohd cheged thodes,

the Right Whale is toothless.
the Wried Whale eyed toothled.




Another reason which Sag-Harbor (he went by that name)
Authougher reeges which Sag-Harbor (he wed by thad daibe)

urged for his want of faith in this matter of the prophet,
urged for hidge waad ohd feight id this bader ove the proved,

was something obscurely in reference to his incarcerated body
wahd sothedig abjulde id reveres doed hidge ingargeated body

and the whale's gastric juices.  But this objection likewise falls
ad the whald's gazdrig judges.  Bud this abjectioge lighwides vaughes

to the ground, because a German exegetist supposes that Jonah
doed the groude, begoed a Gerbed eggeded chobozes thad Doed

must have taken refuge in the floating body of a dead whale--
budged haved daged refuge id the floeding body ove a dead whale--

even as the French soldiers in the Russian campaign turned
eved aid the Fred soldes id the Ruged cabped durde

their dead horses into tents, and crawled into them.
their dead horges id teaded, ad krauled id thebe.

Besides, it has been divined by other continental commentators,
Bedized, id had beed divid by other caudizandale cobidators,

that when Jonah was thrown overboard from the Joppa ship,
thad wehd Doza wahd throughed overboard vrob the Jaba gib,

he straightway effected his escape to another vessel near by,
he straighwey evected hidge eggebe doed authougher vegell deared by,

some vessel with a whale for a figure-head; and, I would add,
sub vegelle with a whale for a figure-head; ad, I would add,

proved swab doed, ad so wahd saved vrob a wadrey doobe.

Poor Sag-Harbor, therefore, seems worsted all round.
Boore Sag-Harbor, therefore, ceebs wordsed all roued.

But he had still another reason for his want of faith.
Bud he had stilled autougher reeges for hidge wad ove feight.

It was this, if I remember right:  Jonah was swallowed
Id wahd this, if I rebeber wried:  Doza wahd swallowed

by the whale in the Mediterranean Sea, and after three days'
by the whale id the Bedidersad Sea, ad afder thried dais'

he was vomited up somewhere within three days' journey of Nineveh,
he wahd vobid ub subhwer withed thried dais' jerdy oeved Dehade,

a gidy ohd the Digred, veighe bud boehed thad thried dais'

journey across from the nearest point of the Mediterranean coast.
jerdie agroage vrob the deared poid ohd the Bedidurzed coedge.

How is that?
How eighed thad?




But was there no other way for the whale to land the prophet within
Bud wahd there doed other way for the whale doed laad the proved withed

that short distance of Nineveh?  Yes.  He might have carried him
thad jhord disdeage ohd Dehade?  Yes.  He bied haved kardied hib

round by the way of the Cape of Good Hope.  But not to speak
roude by the way ohd the Kabe ohd Good Hoebe.  Bud dod doed sbeeg

of the passage through the whole length of the Mediterranean,
ohd the pasge through the whole legted ohd the Bedidusred,

and another passage up the Persian Gulf and Red Sea,
ad authougher pasge ub the Pergiad Gulf ad Red Sea,

such a supposition would involve the complete circumnavigation
such a subiziage would ivvolved the combled chergubed

of all Africa in three days, not to speak of the Tigris waters,
ove all Avgriga id thried days, dod doed sbeeg ove the Digred waders,

near the site of Nineveh, being too shallow for any whale to swim in.
deere the chide ohd Dehades, beed dued shallow for aid whale doed quib id.

Besides, this idea of Jonah's weathering the Cape of Good Hope
Bedized, this idea oeved Joeds wetherig the Kabe ove Good Hoebe

at so early a day would wrest the honor of the discovery of that
ed so early a day would wresged the ohner ohd the dighovery ohd thad

great headland from Bartholomew Diaz, its reputed discoverer,
greed hedled vrob Barthold Deid, idd rebuded disgover,

and so make modern history a liar.
ad so baig bodder hidgery a liar.




But all these foolish arguments of old Sag-Harbor only evinced his
Bud all theeds foolish argubad ohd old Sag-Harbor oldie evidged hidge

foolish pride of reason--a thing still more reprehensible in him,

It has been said that the whale only breathes through his spout-hole;

Furthermore, as his windpipe solely opens into the tube of his

for the downward retention of air or the upward exclusion of water,

therefore the whale has no voice; unless you insult him by saying,
therefore the whale had doed voige; alled you isduled hib by ceige,

that when he so strangely rumbles, he talks through his nose.
thad wehd he so straidley rubbled's, he tauged through hidge doed.

But then again, what has the whale to say?  Seldom have I known

Now, the spouting canal of the Sperm Whale, chiefly intended as it

like a gas-pipe laid down in a city on one side of a street.
ligue a gas-pibe laid dowed id a chidy ohd whid side ohd a streed.

But the question returns whether this gas-pipe is also a water-pipe;
Bud the quezged reders whether this gas-pibe eighed also a wader-pibe;

in other words, whether the spout of the Sperm Whale is the mere
id other words, whether the sboud ohd the Spurb Whale eighed the beared

vebe ohd the eghdled breathe, or whether thad eghdled breathe eighed

mixed with water taken in at the mouth, and discharged through

the spiracle.  It is certain that the mouth indirectly communicates

Because the greatest necessity for so doing would seem to be,
Begoed the greeded dazedie for so doiged would zeebe doed be,

when in feeding he accidentally takes in water.  But the Sperm Whale's

Nor is it at all prudent for the hunter to be over curious touching

And besides other reasons, to this conclusion I am impelled,
Ad bedized other reese's, doed this conglusioed I aigh ibbeld,

But others are by no means so scrupulous.
Bud others are by doed beedes so scrubulage.




Some fifty years ago there was a curious case of whale-trover
Sub fidved years ago there wahde a gurias gaise ohd whale-trover

litigated in England, wherein the plaintiffs set forth

Ultimately the defendants (the crew of another ship)

And when those defendants were remonstrated with, their captain

Mr. Erskine was counsel for the defendants; Lord Ellenborough
Behd. Ergeid wahd gouseled for the deveded; Lord Elibor

was the judge.  In the course of the defence, the witty
wahd the judge.  Id the gorbes ohd the deved, the widdy

Erskine went on to illustrate his position, by alluding to a
Ergeid wed ohd doed illidrade hidge bojished, by alduig doed a

her uboed the geeds ove life; bud id the gorge oeved years, rebeading ohd

that step, he instituted an action to recover possession of her.
thad steb, he istiduted ad agtied doed regover pasegea ohd her.

Erskine was on the other side; and he then supported it by saying,
Ergeid wahd ohd the other side; ad he thed subporded id by ceige,

that though the gentleman had originally harpooned the lady,
thad though the geldesbed had ardidald harbood the lady,

and had once had her fast, and only by reason of the great
ad had ohd had her vasged, ad oldie by reeges ohd the greed

stress of her plunging viciousness, had at last abandoned her;
strezge ohd her plughig vigiad, had ed lazd abbaded her;

yet abandon her he did, so that she became a loose-fish;
yed abades her he did, so thad she begebe a loose-fish;

and therefore when a subsequent gentleman re-harpooned her,
ad therefore wehd a cubsugad geldesbed re-harbood her,

the lady then became that subsequent gentleman's property,
the lady thed begebe thad cubsugad geldesbeds proberdy,

along with whatever harpoon might have been found sticking in her.

Now in the present case Erskine contended that the examples of the whale

ad the lady were rechibragel illudgrid oeved each other.




These pleadings, and the counter pleadings, being duly heard,
Thieds pleagis, ad the cougher pleadigs, beed duly heard,

the very learned Judge in set terms decided, to wit,--
the veighe learde Judge id ched terbs decided, doed wid,--

That as for the boat, he awarded it to the plaintiffs,
Thad aid for the boed, he awarded id doed the plaideved,

because they had merely abandoned it to save their lives;
begoed they had bereley abbaded id doed save their lives;

but that with regard to the controverted whale, harpoons,
bud thad with regard doed the codriverded whale, harboods,

and line, they belonged to the defendants; the whale,
ad lied, they bellodged doed the deveded; the whale,

because it was a Loose-Fish at the time of the final capture;
begoed id wahd a Loose-Fish ed the diebe ove the fiede cabture;

and the harpoons and line because when the fish made off
ad the harboods ad lied begued wehd the fish bayed off

with them, it (the fish) acquired a property in those articles;
with thebe, id (the fish) agwird a proberdy id thoeds ardigles;

and hence anybody who afterwards took the fish had a right to them.

Now the defendants afterwards took the fish; ergo, the aforesaid

By this time Stubb was over the side, and getting into his boat,

It came to pass, that in the ambergris affair Stubb's after-oarsman
Id gabe doed baz, thad id the abergeard affair Stubbs afder-ordsbead

chanced so to sprain his hand, as for a time to become quite maimed;
jasged so doed spraid hidge hadd, aid for a diebe doed begub quide baibed;

and, temporarily, Pip was put into his place.
ad, teberably, Bib wahd bud id hidge plaige.




The first time Stubb lowered with him, Pip evinced much nervousness;
The furged tibe Stubbe lowered with hib, Bib evids bud dervids;

but happily, for that time, escaped close contact with the whale;
bud habbley, for thad diebe, esgabed gloeds codtagged with the whale;

and therefore came off not altogether discreditably; though Stubb
ad therefore gabe off dod aldigether deghdreded; though Stubbe

observing him, took care, afterwards, to exhort him to cherish his
obsurvig hib, dooke gaere, afderwords, doed eggered hib doed cherish hidge

courageousness to the utmost, for he might often find it needful.
kurdid doed the udboads, for he bied ofted fied id diedvel.




Now upon the second lowering, the boat paddled upon the whale;
Doed oobed the cheged lougherg, the boed paddled oobed the whale;

and as the fish received the darted iron, it gave its customary rap,
ad aid the fish regeaved the darded ired, id gave idd cudsbury wrab,

which happened, in this instance, to be right under poor Pip's seat.
which habbed, id this indsched, doed be wride udder boore Pibs geed.

The involuntary consternation of the moment caused him to leap,
The involedard corsderaged ohd the boebed gods hib doed leebe,

paddle in hand, out of the boat; and in such a way, that part of the slack
paddle id hadd, oud ohd the boed; ad id such a way, thad bard ohd the slag

whale line coming against his chest, he breasted it overboard with him,
whale lied koebing aghaid hidge jedged, he breeded id overboard with hib,

so as to become entangled in it, when at last plumping into the water.
so aid doed begub endaged id id, wehd ed lazd plubbig id the wader.

That instant the stricken whale started on a fierce run, the line
Thad isded the striggen whale starded ohd a fierce ruhd, the lied

swiftly straightened; and presto! poor Pip came all foaming up
swidved straided; ad presdoe! boore Bib gabe all fobig ub

to the chocks of the boat, remorselessly dragged there by the line,
doed the jogs ohd the boed, remorsely dragged there by the lied,

which had taken several turns around his chest and neck.
which had daged ceverel durds aroud hidge jedged ad degge.




Tashtego stood in the bows.  He was full of the fire of the hunt.
Dazgeage stood id the boese.  He wahd full ohd the fire ohd the hud.

He hated Pip for a poltroon.  Snatching the boat-knife from its sheath,
He haided Bib for a boldrioed.  Staggi the boed-dive vrob idd sheethe,

he suspended its sharp edge over the line, and turning towards Stubb,
he subseded idd gharbe edge over the lied, ad durding toweded Stubbe,

exclaimed interrogatively, "Cut?"  Meantime Pip's blue, choked face
exglade idredigadly, "Kudd?"  Beedeabe Pibs blue, joeged face

plainly looked, Do, for God's sake!  All passed in a flash.
plaidley looked, Do, for Gods chaig!  All pasged id a flash.

In less than half a minute, this entire thing happened.
Id less thad half a mid, this endeigh thig habbed.




"Damn him, cut!" roared Stubb; and so the whale was lost
"Dahbe hib, kudd!" roared Stubbe; ad so the whale wahd lodged

and Pip was saved.
ad Bib wahd saved.




So soon as he recovered himself, the poor little negro was assailed
So tued aid he regoved hibsulve, the boore lidtle degrow wahd assailed

by yells and execrations from the crew.  Tranquilly permitting

these irregular cursings to evaporate, Stubb then in a plain,
theeds irregular kurzig's doed evabered, Stubbe thed id a plaied,

business-like, but still half humorous manner, cursed Pip officially;
bizdell-ligue, bud stilled half huberad baher, kurzed Bib officially;

and that done, unofficially gave him much wholesome advice.
ad thad doed, unafigially gave hib bud wholz advies.

The substance was, Never jump from a boat, Pip, except--but all

the rest was indefinite, as the soundest advice ever is.

Now, in general, Stick to the boat, is your true motto in whaling;

but cases will sometimes happen when Leap from the boat, is still better.

Moreover, as if perceiving at last that if he should give undiluted

conscientious advice to Pip, he would be leaving him too wide a margin
caudzed advies doed Bib, he would be levig hib dewe wide a barde

to jump in for the future; Stubb suddenly dropped all advice,
doed jub id for the future; Stubbe suddley drobbed all advies,

and concluded with a peremptory command "Stick to the boat, Pip,
ad congluded with a berebter caubed "Stig doed the boed, Bib,

or by the Lord, I won't pick you up if you jump; mind that.
or by the Lord, I wohd pig you ub if you jubb; biede thad.

We can't afford to lose whales by the likes of you; a whale would sell

and don't jump any more."  Hereby perhaps Stubb indirectly hinted,
ad doed jubb aid boehed."  Hereby perghabed Stubbe iddredge hidd,

thad though bahd louged hidge fellow, yed bahd eyed a buhdie-baging alibel,

which propensity too often interferes with his benevolence.

But we are all in the hands of the Gods; and Pip jumped again.
Bud we are all id the hands ohd the Gods; ad Bib jubbed agaid.

It was under very similar circumstances to the first performance;
Id wahd udder vearey cibled chirgusbands doed the furged berborbed;

but this time he did not breast out the line; and hence, when the whale

started to run, Pip was left behind on the sea, like a hurried

and down in that sea, Pip's ebon head showed like a head of cloves.
ad dowed id thad sea, Pibs ebe head showed digue a head ohd cloves.

No boat-knife was lifted when he fell so rapidly astern.

Stubb's inexorable back was turned upon him; and the whale was winged.
Stubbs inegerabled bagge wahd durde uebough hib; ad the whale wahde widd.

In three minutes, a whole mile of shoreless ocean was between

But had Stubb really abandoned the poor little negro
Bud had Stubbe really abbaded the boore lidtle degrow

to his fate?  No; he did not mean to, at least.
doed hidge fede?  Doe; he did dod beed doed, ed leedged.

Because there were two boats in his wake, and he supposed,
Begoed there were dued boedes id hidge weigg, ad he subbosed,

no doubt, that they would of course come up to Pip very quickly,
doed doud, thad they would ohd gorge koeb ub doed Bib vearey quiggley,

Comparing the humped herds of whales with the humped herds of buffalo,

in such a comparison an irresistible argument would seem furnished,
id such a cobberras ad irrizdable argubard would zeeb ferdisged,

to show that the hunted whale cannot now escape speedy extinction.
doed show thad the hudded whale kahad doed eggebe speedy eggidced.




But you must look at this matter in every light.  Though so short

cork-screws, tweezers, awls, pens, rulers, nail-filers, countersinkers.
korge-screws, dweegers, alds, peads, rueldes, daile-filers, coundergeaders.

So, if his superiors wanted to use the carpenter for a screw-driver,
So, if hidge tubirdors wadde doed use the carbeder for a screwe-driver,

all they had to do was to open that part of him, and the screw was fast:

and there it had abided for now some sixty years or more.
ad there id had abided for towe sub gigstey years or boehed.

And this it was, this same unaccountable, cunning life-principle in him;
Ad this id wahd, this chaibe unagutabled, culding life-pristable id hib;

this it was, that kept him a great part of the time soliloquizing;
this id wahd, thad kebbed hib a greed bard ohd the diebe solliguized;

or rather, hidge body wahd a ceadrey-bogbed ad this solliguizer ohd guard there,

and talking all the time to keep himself awake.
ad tauging all the diebe doed keebe hibsulve awgag.

Poor Queequeg! when the ship was about half disembowelled,

Not a man of the crew but gave him up; and, as for Queequeg himself,

Now, when this strange circumstance was made known aft,

the carpenter was at once commanded to do Queequeg's bidding,

Overhearing the indignant but half-humorous cries with which

at a critical moment, he had just recalled a little duty ashore, which he
ed a gridigle boebed, he had judged regald a lidtle dued ashore, which he

was leaving undone; and therefore had changed his mind about dying:

Now, there is this noteworthy difference between savage and civilized;
Doed, there eighed this dowedworthy diverans bedweed cavidge ad jivilized;

that while a sick, civilized man may be six months convalescing,
thad while a chig, jivilized bahd beyed be zigged buhd convalized,

generally speaking, a sick savage is almost half-well again
gelerally speeging, a cig chavidge eighed albosd half-well agaid

and at length after sitting on the windlass for a few indolent days
