1"'Very good. Let me board you a moment--I come in peace.' With that he leaped from the canoe, swam to the boat; and
2climbing the gunwale, stood face to face with the captain. "'Cross your arms, sir; throw back your head. Now, repeat
3after me. As soon as Steelkilt leaves me, I swear to beach this boat on yonder island, and remain there six days. If I
4do not, may lightnings strike me!' "'A pretty scholar,' laughed the Lakeman. 'Adios, Senor!' and leaping into the sea,
5he swam back to his comrades. "Watching the boat till it was fairly beached, and drawn up to the roots of the cocoa-nut
6trees, Steelkilt made sail again, and in due time arrived at Tahiti, his own place of destination. There, luck
7befriended him; two ships were about to sail for France, and were providentially in want of precisely that number of men
8which the sailor headed. They embarked; and so for ever got the start of their former captain, had he been at all minded
9to work them legal retribution. "Some ten days after the French ships sailed, the whale-boat arrived, and the captain
10was forced to enlist some of the more civilized Tahitians, who had been somewhat used to the sea. Chartering a small
11native schooner, he returned with them to his vessel; and finding all right there, again resumed his cruisings. "Where
12Steelkilt now is, gentlemen, none know; but upon the island of Nantucket, the widow of Radney still turns to the sea
13which refuses to give up its dead; still in dreams sees the awful white whale that destroyed him. "'Are you through?'
14said Don Sebastian, quietly. "'I am, Don.' "'Then I entreat you, tell me if to the best of your own convictions, this
15your story is in substance really true? It is so passing wonderful! Did you get it from an unquestionable source? Bear
16with me if I seem to press.' "'Also bear with all of us, sir sailor; for we all join in Don Sebastian's suit,' cried the
17company, with exceeding interest. "'Is there a copy of the Holy Evangelists in the Golden Inn, gentlemen?' "'Nay,' said
18Don Sebastian; 'but I know a worthy priest near by, who will quickly procure one for me. I go for it; but are you well
19advised? this may grow too serious.' "'Will you be so good as to bring the priest also, Don?' "'Though there are no
20Auto-da-Fés in Lima now,' said one of the company to another; 'I fear our sailor friend runs risk of the
21archiepiscopacy. Let us withdraw more out of the moonlight. I see no need of this.' "'Excuse me for running after you,
22Don Sebastian; but may I also beg that you will be particular in procuring the largest sized Evangelists you can.'
23"'This is the priest, he brings you the Evangelists,' said Don Sebastian, gravely, returning with a tall and solemn
24figure. "'Let me remove my hat. Now, venerable priest, further into the light, and hold the Holy Book before me that I
25may touch it. "'So help me Heaven, and on my honor the story I have told ye, gentlemen, is in substance and its great
26items, true. I know it to be true; it happened on this ball; I trod the ship; I knew the crew; I have seen and talked
27with Steelkilt since the death of Radney.'"
