Nothing loath, his bowsman hauled him up and up, by means of a blinding foam that blent two whitenesses together; until of a sudden the boat struck as against a sunken ledge, and keeling over, spilled out the standing mate. He was all the time a furious man, it seems, in a boat. As soon as Steelkilt leaves me, I swear to beach this boat on yonder island, and stay there six days.
