Captain Ahab, Captain of the Pequod Ay

I the pequod, that ship there, he said, drawing back his whole arm and then rapidly shoving it straight out from him with the fixed bayonet of his pointed finger darted full at the object. Have ye shipped in her? He repeated. Yes, said i we have just signed the articles. Anything down there about your souls? About what? Oh, perhaps you haven't gotten any, he said quickly. No matter though. I know many chaps that haven't got any. Good luck to em, and they are all the better off for it. A soul's a sort of a fifth wheel to a wagon. What do you know about captain ahab?
