Chapter 136 131．big mold head

Under the cover of various ominous omens, the "Pequord" continued to sail forward. Now they are driving on the equator line, the sun is burning. Another few days passed. What should have come hasn't come yet. The loneliness, the great loneliness, was almost unbearable. But at this moment, they ran into a whaling ship, which somewhat eased the tense atmosphere that was about to explode. This boat is called "Joy", and it is also from Nantucket, a fellow countryman. The two boats were getting closer. The sailors on the "Pequode" found information from the crane that they were in trouble.

Generally speaking, this crane is used to lift spare boats. And now, on the crane on the "Joy", there is a whaling boat that has been broken into pieces. In fact, it was not exactly a boat, but a few pieces of wood and planks. Like the skull of a horse. "Have you seen the white whale?" Captain Ahab asked this question as usual. "Why not? Or..." The captain pointed to the broken boat, meaning: how could it be like this. "Kill it?" Captain Ahab is the second sentence as usual. "Hmph, the javelin to kill that guy hasn't been made yet!"

The captain made a self-deprecating look. "Who said this?" Captain Ahab took from the fork the javelin that Perth had made for himself, and held it up to the captain to show him. "Look, this is the thing that kills the white whale. I have already prepared it for that guy, just waiting for it to take advantage of it." "this one?" The captain didn't believe it at all. "Yes, that's it, you know, it was baptized with blood and lightning!" said Captain Ahab proudly. "Well, I wish you success, but I want to remind you, look." The captain directed Captain Ahab to look to the deck of his own ship.

Captain Ahab looked over. Several sailors were busy around a gondola. "We've lost five men to kill that guy, all good sailors, I only saw this one, the rest didn't even find the body, well, this is their grave, you better not go to their grave Drive to the grave." said the captain sadly. Hearing this, Captain Ahab suddenly ordered: "Turn to the wind!" He didn't bother with the "Joy" any more. The captain sneered contemptuously, turned to his sailors and said: "Is everyone ready?" The sailors rested the sling on the side rail. "Ready."

The captain walked towards his sailors, and at the same time began to mutter in his mouth: "God, I hope you can transcend to another world and enjoy the afterlife happily..." The "Pequode" avoided the unlucky "Joy", and continued to advance in the direction it had planned. "Haha, you are still taboo about our funeral! Look at your coffin, who knows that you are not going to die?" The captain of the "Joy" cried after them. People felt uncomfortable after hearing his laughter. It turned out that he saw Captain Ahab and the others tied to the back of the ship as a life-saving coffin.

He didn't know it was for lifesaving. "Yes, who knows if we are going to die?" Many on the Pequod thought so.
