“It was the first time in
my life that I ever cruised on the Line,” began the Englishman.
“I was ignorant of the White Whale at that time. Well,
one day we lowered for a pod of
four or five whales, and my boat
fastened to one of
them; a regular
circus
horse he was,
too, that went milling
and milling round so, that my boat’s
crew could only trim dish, by sitting all
their sterns on the outer gunwale. Presently up breaches from the
bottom of the sea a bouncing great whale, with a milky-white head
and hump, all crows’ feet and wrinkles.”
