Moby Dick

[Old Thunder]

For three minutes or more he was seen swimming like a dog, throwing his long arms straight out before him, and by turns revealing his brawny shoulders through the freezing foam.

 

[Old Thunder]

I looked at the grand and glorious fellow, but saw no one to be saved.

 

[Old Thunder]

The greenhorn had gone down.

 

[Old Thunder]

Shooting himself perpendicularly from the water, Queequeg now took an instant's glance around him, and seeming to see just how matters were, dived down and disappeared.

 

[Old Thunder]

A few minutes more, and he rose again, one arm still striking out, and with the other dragging a lifeless form.

 

[Old Thunder]

The boat soon picked them up.

 

[Old Thunder]

The poor bumpkin was restored.

 

[Old Thunder]

All hands voted Queequeg a noble trump; the captain begged his pardon.

 

[Old Thunder]

From that hour I clove to Queequeg like a barnacle; yea, till poor Queequeg took his last long dive.

 

[Old Thunder]

Was there ever such unconsciousness?
