I
sailed aboard the Pequod searching for the White Whale. South and
West we sailed for months. Captain Ahab kept watch with Fedallah the
harpooner. We found it. Fedallah impaled the beast many times but it
pulled him under, lashed with his own line. Still, Ahab searched on.
Silent and crazed he spoke only to his cabin boy, while we cringed
with fear. Then the great leviathan struck the ship and with one
mighty leap crushed the hull and swallowed Ahab in its jaws. Thrown
clear of the boat I managed to stay afloat till rescued but the rest
perished.
