1:32 and i wanted to see the whales the first american whalers sailed from the town of nantucket so i went there too i arrived on a cold dark night and looked for a room i was tired so i went into the first place the men inside drank and talked loudly a large man with a red face stood behind the bar do you have a room for tonight i asked him our rooms are full he said the men are here for the whaling ships i'll have to put you in a room with
2:17 queequeg then he smiled and looked around at the other men who's queequeg where is he i asked oh he's a whaler he's out now but he'll be back later said the man then he smiled again and the other men laughed loudly i didn't understand but i was very tired so i went to the room and got into bed i fell asleep very quickly a noise outside the door woke me up i opened my eyes but i didn't speak the
3:04 door opened and a man came in it was dark so i couldn't see him well then he lit a fire in the fireplace when i saw him in the light of the fire i sat up he was a huge man and very very ugly he had black lines over his face and body and almost no hair on his head he wore a strange skirt and no other clothes the huge man suddenly jumped onto my bed help i shouted help the bar man ran in
3:49 stop queequeg this man wants a bed for tonight he's sleeping here then he turned to me this is queequeg the finest whaler on the ocean don't be afraid he won't hurt you he laughed and left us after he left we were very quiet i'm sorry i said i too said his english was slow and careful we began to talk and then we couldn't stop
4:35 queequeg listened to my life story and i listened to his he came from kokovoko a long way away in the pacific ocean he had a good life because his father was an important man but queequeg wanted to see the world so he left his home and sailed away in his small boat a whaling ship found him and gave him work queequeg was strong and quick so he was a fine whaler now he never went home when the morning came we were great friends queequeg stood up and shouted
5:20 you will find us a whaling ship today you and i will sail around the world and you know something he was right queequeg knew because he could see the future i learned this later he was a strange and wonderful new friend chapter 2. we find our ship that morning i looked around nantucket for a good whaling ship i stopped looking when i saw the pequod
6:05 it was tall and strong its wood was dark from many years on the wild oceans i went onto the ship a man sat at a table with a big book in front of him he wore a long black coat and a big black hat he didn't smile this is a fine ship and i want to go wailing with you where do i write my name captain i asked happily i'm not the captain captain ahab is sick he's down below i'm starbuck are you a whaler
6:51 he asked no but i'm a good sailor i answered you can ask the captains of my other ships i'm not interested in your captains and your ships he said sailing is not wailing wailing is a hard life you'll be away from home for many years the work is difficult you have to be strong and fast and it's very dangerous i want to learn and i want to see the world i said oh you'll see the world and you'll see more good and bad some very bad
7:38 things he looked at me for a minute then he spoke again i'll tell you about whaling captain ahab has only one leg and do you know why because a whale took his other leg a huge whale took it off i said nothing what could i say so you want to be a whaler on captain ahab's ship can you look into the eye of a whale can you stand in front of its huge mouth and throw your harpoon i can and i will i shouted
8:25 i'm not afraid i'm a good sailor you'll see this is my life and i he stopped me and turned the big book around write your name here he said his eyes were tired thank you you won't be sorry i said don't forget my words he answered i have a friend he's a good whaler i said we'll see bring him tomorrow said starbuck weg and i went to the pequot the next day the men on the ship laughed at this huge
9:12 ugly man queequeg didn't say anything he looked down at the water from the ship then he turned and spoke to the men do you see that bird he asked the men looked but they couldn't see anything there said queequeg the men looked carefully this time and saw a small dead bird a long way away on the water that bird is a whale's eye said queequeg he threw his harpoon and hit the bird now that whale is dead he said
10:00 the men were quiet queequeg was better than every other man on that ship and so the pequod had two new whalers we went to our room and got our things an old man stopped us on the street before we got back to the pequod are you sailing with captain ahab do you know him he asked yes we're sailing with him he's sick now but we'll meet him later i answered sick he shouted yes he's a sick man he's the devil and who are you i asked
10:46 i'm elijah he answered why do you say this about captain ahab men say that he's a good whaler he knows the ocean they're right answered the man quietly then his eyes turned big and wild but he's the devil i sailed with him i know and his men are the devil's helpers he looked at me strangely he only has one leg do you know captain ahab's story i suddenly felt afraid of course we do i said
11:33 i turned to queequeg come my friend i said let's leave this crazy old man and we went quickly to the ship we sailed on christmas morning captain ahab didn't come up and meet the whalers but every night we heard him he walked up and down up and down one night we heard starbucks speak please captain stop you're waking your men up no i can't sleep so my men won't sleep they can think of whales in their beds
12:19 dead whales that's their job shouted captain ahab i thought of elijah's words the devil's helpers were the men on the pequod devils there was unhappy starbuck then there was stubb he was very different he always laughed and told funny stories from my bed i looked around at my neighbors bildad tashtego dagu flask manxman and the other whalers they were from many different countries and had interesting stories they weren't all good men but they
13:05 weren't devils who were captain ahab's devils chapter 3 captain ahab's story for three weeks captain ahab stayed below then one day suddenly he was there in front of us he was a thin man but he was strong he had a hard face with lines on it from years of sun and wind his hair was gray and wild his clothes were black then i saw it his white whalebone leg
13:50 and an ugly white line ran down from the top of his head did it go down to his feet who or what did that to him what fight did he lose so badly he stood and looked at us with angry eyes what do you do when you see a whale he suddenly shouted shout sir answered the men good look at this he showed us some gold i want one whale a white whale one of you will see this whale first that man will get this gold
14:36 we stood quietly whalers don't make much money we thought about the gold we could buy a lot of nice things with it you'll know him when you see him said captain ahab he's the biggest whale in the oceans i saw this whale said queequag to me he is a mountain very big very strong i put my harpoon in him he got away i have to find this whale i will find him shouted captain ahab are you talking about moby dick ask
15:22 testigo yes answered captain ahab moby dick took your leg said starbuck quietly captain ahab shouted angrily at starbuck yes he took my leg he took half of me now i'm half a man and moby dick will pay for this i'll follow him to south america to africa i'll follow him to the end of this world i'll see him dead he turned to the other whalers are you with me men yes
16:09 they shouted they were excited they saw the gold they shouted and laughed only starbuck stood quietly his face was as dark as the sky before it rains what's your problem captain ahab asked him angrily then he smiled it's too dangerous is that the problem i'm not afraid of dangerous work answered starbuck but i work for whale oil i fight whales for their oil for money you hate this whale how much oil will
16:56 that bring you how much money when i kill moby dick i'll be rich in here shouted captain ahab and he hid his body with his hand he turned and started to walk away are you going to follow this animal because it won a fight with you it's wrong it's crazy shouted starbuck when he heard this captain ahab turned on his whalebone leg he was very angry now and he shouted in starbucks face this whale is evil
17:41 do you understand white is the color of ice and ice takes strong ships down under the water white is the color of a man's eyes when he can't see [Music] white is the color of dead men white is evil and this whale is evil he's laughing at me i'll only be free when this evil is dead dead the color left starbucks face he was the loser of this fight and captain ahab knew it he turned to the men again drink death to moby dick he shouted
18:30 the men put their harpoons up high and shouted too then they drank and danced later that same night the men were asleep and the ship was quiet i was outside with pip the little cook boy we had to put water out for the next days wailing listen said pip can you hear that i hear men the whalers were at the other end of the ship there was nobody there i don't hear anything i said no listen said pip there are men below us
19:15 five or six of them can't you hear them it's the ocean pip it's playing games with you i answered i have good ears said pip he was angry with me and walked away i watched him go then i sat and looked up at the stars i dreamed of the white whale i dreamed of gold chapter four our first whale well shouted tashtego from the top of the ship well captain ahab
20:01 came quickly get the boats he shouted the whale sent a shower of water up into the sky suddenly five men came up from below and stood by captain ahab their faces were dark and they had long black hair they wore strange wide pants and no shirts or shoes one of the men was older he was darker and only had one tooth he wore a strange white hat so we couldn't see his hair his black eyes looked only at captain ahab these were captain ahab's devils
20:48 fidala go captain ahab shouted to this man three small boats went down into the water captain ahab's men came too in their boat his men were strong and their boat quickly sailed in front of ours i turned to pip i understand now these are the men you heard them speaking before i told you pip shouted back stop talking and row shouted stub from the back do you think this is a tea party stubb always shouted at us but we were never afraid of him
21:34 he always had a smile on his face starbuck was the captain of our small boat he didn't talk to us but we heard him say quietly who are those men what's captain ahab doing captain ahab shouted to his boat from the pequod but his men only had ears for fidala their eyes never left fidala's face and their boat went faster and faster this was my first whale maybe we'll kill it i thought i was excited every whaler was excited but why weren't we afraid
22:21 because our heads were full of money oil gold the sky suddenly turned dark with rain but we didn't go back we have time we can kill a whale before the heavy rain comes said starbuck queequeg stood ready with his harpoon in the front of our boat suddenly the whale was there again it came up out of the water under our boat men and harpoons went everywhere then the heavy rain came in minutes our boat was full of water strong winds took our sails down the whale left us
23:09 and swam down into the dark water after some time the wind stopped we waited and day turned to night we couldn't see anything where were we where were the other boats the men weren't angry with starbuck the weather can play games with the best sailors more hours came and went we were wet tired and afraid then we saw a large black thing in the water was it the whale again no it was the pequod but the men couldn't see us it's gonna hit us shouted stub
23:56 we jumped into the ocean and began to shout for help when the man on the pequod heard us they put ropes down then they helped us onto the ship the other men were there captain ahab's men too they turned back when they didn't see the white whale chapter five the albatross and the samuel enderby we fought and killed many whales after that first night but our work didn't finish when we killed them we then had to climb down onto the dead whale and cut off the fat we had to work quickly because sharks came for the whale meat
24:44 sharks could eat a whale in one night and some of these whales were almost as big as our ship we cut off large squares of fat and pulled these squares onto the ship this was a long hard job it was also dangerous because sharks swam around us we then cooked the fat and made oil when the oil was ready we put it into barrels oil gave us light and made us warm we could sell it to people around the world oil was our money but did this make captain ahab happy no the money wasn't important to him
25:30 he only thought about moby dick he could only hate he stood for hours on the ship in the rain in the snow and looked at the ocean when other ships went past he didn't ask them how are you do you want help he only asked did you see the white whale one day we met the albatross it was on its trip home after four long years on the ocean the ship and its whalers looked ready for home the men were tired and thin with large hungry eyes the wind was strong that day so the albatross couldn't come near us but the captain put his hand up and
26:17 smiled captain ahab shouted from the pequod did you see the white whale the captain shouted his answer but the wind carried his words away captain ahab put his hand behind his ear but he couldn't hear the captain this wind he shouted listen tell people at home we're sailing around the world we'll bring back the teeth of the devil whale starbucks stood and watched captain ahab is he forgetting his wife and child at home he said to me wife and child
27:04 i asked did captain ahab really have a family oh yes his family is waiting for him said starbuck and my family is waiting for me every day my wife mary takes our son to the beach they look at the ocean they hope that they'll see our sails one day i thought about the other men on our ship how many of these men had families what did they leave behind them when they went on the whaling ships who waited for them nobody's waiting for me i thought i want a wife and child i'd like to go home to them
27:51 day after day nothing changed captain ahab always asked other ships about the white whale some captains knew about moby dick some laughed at captain ahab moby dick is only a whaler's story nothing more they said then one day we met the samuel enderby the ocean was quiet and the captain captain boomer came onto our ship he was a friendly man and smiled at us he only had one arm did moby dick take your arm captain ahab asked excitedly yes i lost my arm to the white whale the captain answered
28:37 captain ahab's face lit up he was happy come with me the white devil will pay for your arm and my leg he shouted happily oh no i can't do that the captain answered one arm is better than no arms or legs i want my life i think i'll leave moby dick in the ocean leave him shouted captain ahab he turned his back to captain boomer for a minute then he turned around and shouted at him get off my ship you're afraid i'm not afraid i'll find moby dick
29:22 i'll look him in the eye i'll kill him the smile left captain boomers face i hope for you and for your men that you never find moby dick and without another word he left our ship chapter six moby dick captain ahab didn't sleep very often now we saw the light from his room on many nights he sat at his table he looked at his maps and planned where was moby dick how could we find him he only talked to fidala we could hear
30:10 the two men in captain ahab's room captain ahab often shouted angrily but fidala always spoke quietly vidalla was different from other men he stayed away from the other whalers he sat high up in the sails at night and watched for wales he slept in the day why does he watch for wales at night we asked does he have the eyes of a cat can he see in the dark and why did captain ahab only listen to this man fidala wasn't god he can see the future said some whalers could fedala really see the future
30:56 what did he see what did he tell captain ahab one night starbuck found captain ahab asleep at his table with the light on and his maps around him crazy old man he said quietly you sleep tonight but your dreams are full of your white whale you hate moby dick and you're taking me and our men with you to what our deaths that same night we heard fidala the white whale he shouted i ran and woke the other men we looked
31:42 up and saw fidala at the top of the sails he looked out at the ocean and showed us the whale there he shouted suddenly a huge shower of water went up then a second shower we could see something white on the water it was a white whale was it captain ahab's white whale now we understood fidala watched at night because you could see a white whale at night captain ahab was there his face was as happy as a child's face on christmas morning put the sails up faster he shouted
32:29 the white whale sent three more showers of water high up into the sky the water looked beautiful in the light of the stars follow him shouted captain ahab we started to go after the whale but it quickly swam under the water we lost it was that really moby dick i asked queequeg will we see him again queequeg cleaned his harpoon and looked at the ocean he will come again he said and he did he came the next night and the night after that always at the same time
33:14 he wants me to follow him said captain ahab on the third night he's showing us the way i was suddenly very afraid we had to stay with captain ahab to the end we couldn't leave i couldn't change my future now 7 pip story you met our cooks boy pip earlier in my story pip was a young black american boy he was only 14. a whaling ship wasn't a nice place for a boy but pip liked his work he sang in the kitchen when he helped the cook
34:00 but things changed for him after many weeks we lost moby dick and we started to look for other whales again one of stubb's men broke his arm so he couldn't row stub put pip in our boat on the next whaling trip because there was no other man pip didn't want to go we could see that in his face but he always wanted to help so he went quietly our first trip was fine and pip felt happier at the end of it on our second trip tashtego's harpoon hid a whale behind its eye the angry whale turned around and hit the boat pip jumped up and then out of the boat
34:48 when he jumped the harpoon rope caught him the whale started to swim away fast it pulled pip behind it we could see pip's head go in and out of the water stupid boy shouted tashtego he stood up with his knife he could cut the rope and free the boy he looked at stub stub like the boy but he didn't want to lose the whale cat the rope shouted starbuck angrily tashtego cut the rope and the whale swam away they pulled pip back into the boat the men were very angry with him
35:34 never jump out of the boat again said stub we'll have to leave you who will bring us more money you were a whale on the third trip pip jumped again when a whale hit the boat he was a young boy a cook not a whaler he was afraid this time stubb left him in the ocean please come back pip shouted please don't leave me the sharks will eat me but the boat went after the whale pip was in the ocean for a long time the water was as cold as ice and pip was afraid
36:20 the ocean was very dangerous stubb sent the pequod for him after we got our whale when pip climbed the rope captain ahab put out his hand to him pip was a little crazy now when he saw captain ahab's hand he saw the hand of god thank you god he cried after that day pip was a different person he followed captain ahab everywhere he was always with him and captain ahab was a different man when he was with pep he never shouted at him he smiled and was kind to him after many days of this starbuck got angry and shattered at pep
37:08 captain ahab is not god stop following him you crazy boy why are you angry the boy doesn't understand i said to starbuck i'm not angry i'm afraid i know the boy is crazy but captain ahab does he think he's god is he he stopped before he said the word crazy this is not good it's wrong said starbuck then he walked away chapter eight queequeg's coffin some days later we heard shouts from
37:55 below captain captain ahab it was starbuck he ran to captain ahab very fast starbuck was a young man when you saw his black clothes and sad face you could forget that what is it captain ahab asked him the barrels captain there's a problem with some of the barrels we're losing oil we have to stop the ship the men have to change the bad barrels i'm not going to lose a day sailing because of some barrels no we're not going to stop
38:41 answered captain ahab but captain we're losing a lot of oil starbucks shouted the men stopped working and watched you have to stop we'll lose everything no we're very near moby dick i can feel it we have to find him answered captain ahab starbuck was afraid we could see this in his face but he was very angry too he didn't leave but the men our wives and children we're here because we want food for our
39:27 families the money from the oil is important to us we have to live we want to live where are you taking us what are you doing to us captain ahab took out his gun oil is not my god we will not stop he shouted do you understand not one man spoke nobody moved we stood and watched starbucks slowly turned from the gun and started to walk away i can't win this fight he said
40:15 you have the gun then he turned around and looked at captain ahab he spoke quietly but be careful captain ahab not of me i'm not the problem you are he turned and walked away captain ahab didn't speak he watched starbuck go then he put his gun down and went to his room later that day captain ahab shouted for the men to come to him starbucks says we have a problem with some of the barrels he said we're going to stop and change them and take down the sails
41:02 starbucks face was happy he didn't speak but his eyes said thank you we worked day and night on the barrels it was very hot below and oil was everywhere the barrels were very heavy and only the strongest men could move them queequeg had to do a lot of this hard heavy work after three days we finished the men were tired and some were sick from the work queequeg slept outside that night he wanted to get away from the hot rooms below but it was very cold outside the next morning queequeg was very sick
41:50 his body was as cold as ice one minute and then as hot as fire he couldn't see he couldn't speak i stayed with him i'm here i said my dear friend i won't leave you you'll get better after two days queequeg called the other men to his bed make me a coffin he said i am going to die no you aren't going to die you can't leave me i cried yes my friend i'm going to die men
42:36 please make my coffin do not throw my body into the cold ocean the men made queequeg his coffin when they finished it they brought it to him bring my harpoon he said and some food and water we put his harpoon next to him and brought him food and water put them in my coffin he said so we put them in now put me in the coffin he said no we shouted i want to try it he said so we put him inside and closed it
43:25 after some minutes he spoke it is good now i will go to my bed again he looked at the coffin from his bed then he closed his eyes and slept i sat and cried i waited the other men were very sad too queequeg was a good man and the best whaler on the ocean then one morning queequag sat up i cannot die now he said i have to do some things first i will die later now i will go to work
44:11 nobody could understand but we put his coffin away down with the barrels of oil and went back to our work chapter nine captain ahab's dream we sailed into the pacific ocean and the wailing was good one day we killed four whales we couldn't cut the fat off four whales in one day so we had to watch them that night we put the small boats into the water near the dead whales i was in captain ahab's boat we put harpoons into the whale's bodies then we put lights on the end of the harpoons so we could see sharks in the water
44:58 shark shark men shouted from the different boats sometimes only three or four came sometimes a lot of sharks came at the same time they were fast and quiet suddenly they were there by our boats their ugly mouths opened and they showed their teeth we fought them and they went away but they always came back again sometimes they stayed away for hours in those quiet times captain ahab and his men slept but fidala didn't sleep he watched for sharks
45:44 suddenly captain ahab woke up and sat up in the boat his eyes were big and wild he was afraid i had the dream again he said to fidala i died i felt it and i saw my coffin you will not have a coffin said fidala i told you this you know this so am i going to die on the ocean captain ahab asked will i die on this trip will i die before i kill the white whale fidella's black eyes looked at captain ahab
46:30 he spoke quietly to him only a rope can kill you a rope but how what do you mean ah then i'll die when i go home they'll put a rope around me and kill me there am i right the dallas spoke again a rope will kill you but i will go first i will show you the way you will follow me to the next world but when when will this happen fidala and where asked captain ahab
47:16 i cannot say i will die first and you will follow me i listened carefully to the two men now i understood fidala was important to captain ahab because he could see the future the whalers were right this strange man knew about captain ahab's death and captain ahab could only die after fidala died fidala suddenly looked at me could he understand my thoughts i quickly closed my eyes the next day on the pequod captain ahab threw his maps into the ocean
48:01 you don't help me he shouted can you find the white whale do i see him in front of me now i'll find him without you some of the men saw this their mouths were open and their eyes were large i looked at starbuck his face was white how can a ship sail without maps he said only a crazy man throws his maps away the men were afraid and that night in their beds they talked about captain ahab what's he doing this is very dangerous bad things will happen now
48:47 then it came the wind one minute the ocean was quiet suddenly the ship was on top of a mountain of water then down again up and down up and down we couldn't stand this wind took our sails down some of the sails hit our little whaling boats we couldn't think we couldn't move our ship danced on the wild ocean captain ahab shouted at the sky are you trying to kill me you can't i'll fight you starbucks shouted at captain ahab god wants us to turn back look around
49:35 you look at the boats look at our ship captain ahab ran and got his harpoon no man will turn this ship around i'll put this harpoon through that man we'll follow moby dick he lives here in this ocean he took my leg from me here now i'll find him and i'll finish our fight he took my life and now i'll take his after many hours the wind stopped starbuck went to captain ahab's room he looked very angry i wanted starbuck to be our captain i followed him and watched he opened
50:22 captain ahab's door quietly the captain was asleep at his table there were no maps there now but there was a gun on the table starbucks slowly and carefully took the gun he stood with it in his hand and looked to captain ahab what can i do he asked quietly i can kill him then we can go home to our families he stood for a minute before he spoke again or i can leave him then he'll kill everyone on this ship we'll die a long long way from home i wanted starbuck to kill captain ahab
51:11 after some time starbucks hand fell he couldn't do it he put the gun on the table and quietly left captain ahab's room the next morning we heard strange noises what were they were they the sounds of animals or fish was it the wind were they the calls of dead sailors it was pimp he jumped up and down it's me he cried i'm in the ocean you forgot me help me captain ahab went to the boy don't be afraid he said you're with me nothing will hurt you
51:59 look at that said stub two crazy people on a crazy ship what will happen next chapter 10 the rachel later that day our ship met the rachel the rachel looked as bad as the pequod after the strong winds but captain ahab didn't talk to the rachel's captain about the weather he asked the same question did you see the white whale when captain gardner answered captain ahab jumped yes our visitor said i saw him yesterday
52:45 captain gardner came onto the pequod with some of his men captain ahab was full of questions you saw moby dick yesterday where did you kill him where is he now captain gardner's face went white and he began his story i had three boats on the water suddenly the white whale came out of the ocean i sent one of the boats after it the men harpooned the whale it swam away and pulled the boat after it it was too fast we couldn't follow the boat and we lost it we looked last night and this morning
53:32 but we couldn't find it something on that boat is important to him queequeg said quietly to me maybe it's his best boat said dagu or his best harpooner said stub captain gardner's face was very sad he asked captain ahab will you help us look for the boat captain when captain ahab didn't answer captain gardner spoke again i'll pay you for your time there was no answer my son was on that boat captain gardner said
54:17 he's my only son 12 years old you and i can find him captain ahab i hope you'll help me we stood and waited for captain ahab's answer we have to help him said one whaler loudly we're all wailers and many of us have sons can't we help him asked another man no i can't do it answered captain ahab we don't have time he turned and spoke to starbuck get these men off my ship now we're going to sail in five minutes
55:04 then he walked away captain gardner looked at each whaler's face with his sad red eyes but we could do nothing we had to go with our crazy captain in the days after we met the rachel captain ahab started to get ready for the fight with moby dick he wanted to look after pip so he brought pip to his room he spoke to him these next days are going to be very dangerous he said we're going to kill the white whale this is going to be a long hard fight i want you to stay here in my room pip
55:49 never leave you'll hear many things but you have to stay here do you understand pip listen carefully to captain ahab he didn't really understand everything but he always wanted to please his captain he never left captain ahab's room again captain ahab always stayed outside after that he didn't go to his room he sat and watched the ocean for moby dick morning and night he ate outside and slept outside in his dirty clothes the dollar was there too but the two men never spoke now they only did one thing they watched
56:38 one morning a large black bird flew down from the sky it flew to captain ahab's head captain ahab put his hands up but the bird flew around and around his head fidala did nothing then suddenly the bird took captain ahab's hat and flew away some of the whalers laughed but some of them were afraid and talked about it later what does this mean will more bad things happen now they asked chapter 11 the fight begins some days later captain ahab and starbuck stood and watched for wales

58:57 shone in the morning sun birds followed him and flew above him captain ahab's face sean too he was a child again happy and excited get the boats men move he shouted we didn't have many boats after the strong winds captain ahab and his men climbed into the first boat captain ahab spoke to starbuck before he left stay here he said then you can see your wife and child again now we were in the boats moby dick came up out of the water again he was a huge white mountain there were
59:44 harpoons in his body from his many fights with whalers when he hit the ocean again water showered down on us then he swam down into the dark water and the ocean was quiet where was he we sat for hours in our boats and waited suddenly tashtego shouted the birds look the birds were above us so moby dick was near we looked into the water something was down there it came nearer it got bigger and bigger then he was there the huge white whale he came up under captain ahab's boat his
1:00:30 mouth opened i could see his teeth he closed his mouth on captain ahab's boat and took it out of the water fidala and his men jumped into the ocean captain ahab didn't jump he stayed in the boat and shouted at moby dick he tried to fight him but he couldn't his harpoon was in the ocean now and he couldn't move easily with his whale bone leg then the boat broke and fell into the ocean but moby dick didn't swim away he started to swim around captain ahab and his boat he began slowly then he swam faster and faster we couldn't get near him in
1:01:17 the other boats we couldn't help captain ahab that whale is playing with them said stub the birds flew around and around in the sky above moby dick get the whale bring the pequod shouted captain ahab the noise from the ocean and the birds was very loud could anybody on the pequod hear him but the pequod sails went up it turned and started to sail to the white whale we watched from our boats it's going to hit moby dick we shouted but suddenly moby dick went down into the water again the water stopped moving the ocean
1:02:04 was quiet moby dick didn't come back the whalers on the pequod pulled captain ahab and his men out of the water captain ahab's men were really afraid now they shouted and cried but fedala didn't speak he walked away and looked out at the ocean how did he feel his cold black eyes showed nothing captain ahab went to his room and got the gold this gold is mine now he shouted to the whalers i saw moby dick first but i'll give it away we will kill moby dick the only question
1:02:50 is when who will see the white devil first on that day that man will get this gold starbucks shouted at captain ahab didn't you learn anything today are you really crazy you have to stop don't go after that whale again captain ahab answered today was nothing you are nothing i'm going to finish this i'll stop when the white devil is dead with my harpoon in his white devil's body
1:03:36 chapter 12 the second day white whale white whale moby dick came again he was hundreds of meters away but we could see the shower of water from his back high in the sky he came out of the ocean then his huge body fell again and hit the water three boats went after him captain ahab and his men took dagu's boat in an hour the boats were all in different places around moby dick our harpoons rained down on him some fell into the ocean some hit him and stayed in his body the harpoon ropes pulled our boats
1:04:23 nearer to him moby dick started swimming round and round he opened and closed his huge mouth he pulled hard on the ropes and the three boats moved nearer flask's boat hit ours wood and harpoons went everywhere we swam quickly and tried to get away from the whale moby dick went down under the water where was he how many meters could he swim with our harpoons and ropes in him we waited he came up again under captain ahab's boat the boat broke and the men fell into the ocean you could hear them shout and cry
1:05:09 then moby dick stopped moving he stayed there and watched us it was the strangest thing he looked at us with his small black eye we waited then he swam away quietly our harpoon ropes followed him in the water we waited for the pequod we had to be very careful we didn't shout because we didn't want sharks to see us when they pulled me out of the water i was happy and excited i didn't die but the other men queequeg where was queequeg then i saw him and stubb yes he was there too antashtego
1:05:55 flask and dagu but where was captain ahab after some time we heard a shout it was captain ahab his arm was around starbuck because he couldn't walk he had no whalebone leg now he was tired and wet and looked very old give me a harpoon he shouted angrily that will be my second leg for now he walked with the harpoon to the men and sat down on a barrel then he spoke to us watch carefully he said moby dick will come to us on the third
1:06:40 day he'll die on the third day who will see him first who will get the gold we didn't shout and dance this time we were tired we were afraid we stood quietly captain ahab looked around at us and his face suddenly changed where's fidala he asked we looked around he wasn't there nobody spoke captain ahab's face went white his eyes were large and black he opened his mouth but nothing came out
1:07:25 then he spoke again but the sound was different it was high and strange fine fedala do you hear me find him we looked everywhere but we couldn't find fidala maybe he went down with the ropes said stub stub wasn't sad the whalers weren't sad captain ahab's men weren't sad only one man on that ship wanted to see fidala again the captain he could lose his maps and his whalebone leg but not fidala he shouted at the ocean you'll die for this my harpoon will end
1:08:12 your evil life i remembered fidala's words to captain ahab i will go first i will show you the way you will follow me from this world chapter 13 the end on the morning of the third day the sun shone in the blue sky and the ocean shone in the sunlight the pequod sailed well it was the most beautiful day but the saddest day on the third day he'll come captain ahab said again and again he sat high up in the sails
1:08:59 and watched he looked better now he looked strong again after 40 years on the ocean captain ahab understood whales well why don't we see him ah we're going too fast he said moby dick has our harpoons and ropes in him he can't swim fast turn around we'll go back for him look at captain ahab he's running to his death said starbucks sadly there he is shouted captain ahab after two hours and there was moby dick
1:09:46 starbucks spoke quietly how are you mary how's our boy why did he speak to his wife did he know something was this the end captain ahab thought only of moby dick he shouted happily at the whale you and i had to meet we had to fight now is our time captain ahab climbed down from the sails he couldn't walk without his whalebone leg so starbuck helped him will you watch our ship when i fight moby dick captain ahab asked starbuck captain don't go said starbuck
1:10:33 take my hand said captain ahab can we be friends now at the end oh captain starbuck cried we only had one whaling boat now so many men had to stay on the ship queequage stayed but i had to go on the boat with captain ahab and the other men be careful my friend queequeg said to me when our boat went down to the water we saw young pip's face in the window of captain ahab's room his eyes were large and sad he shouted to captain ahab please don't go please don't leave me
1:11:18 we sat in our boat all day the men didn't speak captain ahab didn't speak we watched and waited then the water began to move it's time said captain ahab get ready for the greatest fight of your lives moby dick came to the top of the water then he slowly swam to our boat he swam near us for some minutes and then suddenly he turned his body around and hit the boat hard it broke and water started to come in we got down on the floor of the boat and tried to stop the water then captain ahab suddenly cried
1:12:10 in front of us was fidala we could see our ropes around moby dick's body and fidala's dead body was in the ropes one of fidala's arms was free it went up and down when the whale swam past us his eyes were open and water came out of his mouth we stood up we wanted to run away but we were in the boat sit down captain ahab shouted at us don't leave this boat or i'll throw a harpoon at you row captain ahab tried to stand up in the boat but he couldn't with only one leg give me a harpoon he said angrily moby dick
1:12:56 slowed down again and waited did this animal think did it plan captain ahab spoke again row near him don't speak don't make a sound when we went near the whale sent up showers of water the water rained down on us we couldn't see but we were very near i put out my hand and felt his cold body captain ahab threw his harpoon the whale moved when it hit his body it hurt him he was angry he turned and hit the boat again i fell into the water our sails were up
1:13:41 and the wind carried the boat away i shouted but the boat couldn't stop they had to leave me there in the water the boat sailed fast the water came in and the men tried to stop it captain ahab's eyes were on the ocean he didn't see moby dick come again flask suddenly shouted the ship moby dick's gonna hit the p quad row help the ship shouted captain ahab the men rode as quickly as they could i saw queequeg on the pequod he was at the top of the sails i saw the other men too when they saw moby dick
1:14:27 they ran away some of them jumped from the ship but quick didn't move he stayed there and watched the whale moby dick hit the b-quad the noise was very loud then everything went quiet water ran through the ship i could hear starbuck he shouted at captain ahab you did this to us captain ahab god help us then i saw dagu and stub stub took off his coat and shoes so he could swim moby dick didn't swim away he waited then he swam between the pequod and the
1:15:15 whaling boat the men in the boat looked at captain ahab he looked old and tired but his head was high he spoke to the men the pequod is going down he said it's the best ship in this ocean and i'm not with my ship that's very sad a good captain has to be with his ship at the end then captain ahab's face was suddenly angry he slowly brought his harpoon up when he talked to the white whale his face was the face of the devil you can kill me but you cannot win he threw the harpoon
1:16:02 hard and fast it hit moby dick below his small black eye the whale turned and swam fast he pulled the small boat behind him at the end of the harpoon rope the men fell down in the boat captain ahab took out his knife and tried to cut the rope but before he could cut it the rope went around his body it pulled him up and out of the boat one minute he was there the next minute he wasn't there was no shout no cry not one word suddenly the rope broke moby dick was free and the boat stopped moving the men sat for a minute with open
1:16:48 mouths then some of them jumped into the ocean they swam around the boat and tried to find captain ahab but they couldn't see him and after some time they climbed back into the boat then i heard a shout the ship i looked around and saw the pequod there was only one sail above the water now queequeg was at the top of the sail and his harpoon was in his hand he put his hand up high the pequod went down i saw my friend queequeg one last time before the ship went under the water when a ship goes down it takes the water
1:17:34 with it the water pulled the whaling boat with all the men under the water and it pulled me nearer am i going to meet you am i going to die with you i asked but then the ocean was quiet suddenly something came up under me and hit me was it moby dick again was it a shark no it was queequeg's coffin my dear friend helped me one last time the coffin came to the top of the water and i climbed onto it i stayed on queequeg's coffin for two days
1:18:20 and two nights i was in the middle of the ocean with only the sky above me and water around me my mouth was very dry and my face and arms were red from the sun the nights were as cold as winter why didn't the sharks eat me why didn't the strong winds come and throw me into the ocean why didn't moby dick kill me then i saw it one small sail at the end of the world it slowly came near and after some hours i could see the ship the men on the ship saw me in the water and shouted at their captain they were excited they were happy when the ship came nearer i understood
1:19:08 it was the rachel the men started to pull me out of the water and saw their mistake i wasn't their captain's son but they were very kind to me they gave me food and water and a bed i often think about my time on the pequod we fought with moby dick and captain ahab's men died they died because one man hated a whale at the same time the man on the rachel looked for a boy they looked for a boy because one man loved his son and after their hard work and their hopes they found only me so i lived i can tell you my story
1:19:55 and moby dick lives he is out there now
