Read this passage from moby d1ck. what do the men find out from the captain’s speech?
“captain ahab,” said starbuck, who, with stubb and flask, had thus far been eyeing his superior with increasing surprise, but at last seemed struck with a thought which somewhat explained all the wonder. “captain ahab, i have heard of moby-d1ck—but it was not moby-d1ck that took off thy leg? ”
“who told thee that? ” cried ahab; then pausing, “aye, starbuck; aye, my hearties all round; it was moby-d1ck that dismasted me; moby-d1ck that brought me to this dead stump i stand on now. aye, aye,” he shouted with a terrific, loud, animal sob, like that of a heartstricken moose; “aye, aye! it was that accursed white whale that razeed me; made a poor pegging lubber for me forever and a day! ” then tossing both arms, with measureless imprecations he shouted out: “aye, aye! and i’ll chase him round good hope, and round the horn, and round the norway maelstrom, and round perdition’s flames before i give him up. and this is what ye have shipped for, men! to chase that white whale on both sides of land, and over all sides of earth, till he spouts black blood and rolls fin out. what say ye, men, will ye splice hands on it, now? i think ye do look brave.”
