Queequeg's Last Long Dive

Queequeg caught a rope and used it like a lasso to keep the spar from hitting his head. He then dived into the water, where he swam for three minutes or more before dying. The captain begged his pardon but all hands voted queequeg a noble trump. Nothing more happened on the passage worthy of mentioning. We safely arrived in nantucket. Nantuc take out your map and look at it. See what a real corner of the world it occupies. How it stands there away off shore, more lonely than the eddystone lighthouse.
