Hello Ahab,
What wonder, then, that these Nantucketers, born on a beach, should take to the sea for a livelihood! They first caught crabs and quohogs in the sand; grown bolder, they waded out with nets for mackerel;
More experienced, they pushed off in boats and captured cod; and at last, launching a navy of great ships on the sea, explored this watery world; put an incessant belt of circumnavigations round it; peeped in at Behring’s Straits; and in all seasons and all oceans declared everlasting war with the mightiest animated mass that has survived the flood;
Most monstrous and most mountainous! That Himmalehan, salt-sea Mastodon, clothed with such portentousness of unconscious power, that his very panics are more to be dreaded than his most fearless and malicious assaults!
Avast!
KickUp works with school districts across the country to align teacher growth with strategic goals. Here are a few ways we can help you achieve yours:
“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.”
“Cook,” here interposed Stubb, accompanying the word with a sudden slap on the shoulder,
—“Cook! why, damn your eyes, you mustn’t swear that way when you’re preaching. That’s no way to convert sinners, cook!”
“Seven hundred and seventy-seventh,” again said Bildad, without lifting his eyes; and then went on mumbling
“What breaks in me? Some sinew cracks!—’tis whole again; oars! oars! Burst in upon him!”
