1But it so happened just then, that it was high time for the Captain to mind his own eye. The prodigious strain upon the
2main-sail had parted the weather-sheet, and the tremendous boom was now flying from side to side, completely sweeping
3the entire after part of the deck. The poor fellow whom Queequeg had handled so roughly, was swept overboard; all hands
4were in a panic; and to attempt snatching at the boom to stay it, seemed madness. It flew from right to left, and back
5again, almost in one ticking of a watch, and every instant seemed on the point of snapping into splinters. Nothing was
6done, and nothing seemed capable of being done; those on deck rushed towards the bows, and stood eyeing the boom as if
7it were the lower jaw of an exasperated whale. In the midst of this consternation, Queequeg dropped deftly to his knees,
8and crawling under the path of the boom, whipped hold of a rope, secured one end to the bulwarks, and then flinging the
9other like a lasso, caught it round the boom as it swept over his head, and at the next jerk, the spar was that way
10trapped, and all was safe. The schooner was run into the wind, and while the hands were clearing away the stern boat,
11Queequeg, stripped to the waist, darted from the side with a long living arc of a leap. For three minutes or more he was
12seen swimming like a dog, throwing his long arms straight out before him, and by turns revealing his brawny shoulders
13through the freezing foam. I looked at the grand and glorious fellow, but saw no one to be saved. The greenhorn had gone
14down. Shooting himself perpendicularly from the water, Queequeg, now took an instant's glance around him, and seeming to
15see just how matters were, dived down and disappeared. A few minutes more, and he rose again, one arm still striking
16out, and with the other dragging a lifeless form. The boat soon picked them up. The poor bumpkin was restored. All hands
17voted Queequeg a noble trump; the captain begged his pardon. From that hour I clove to Queequeg like a barnacle; yea,
18till poor Queequeg took his last long dive. Was there ever such unconsciousness? He did not seem to think that he at all
19deserved a medal from the Humane and Magnanimous Societies. He only asked for water--fresh water--something to wipe the
20brine off; that done, he put on dry clothes, lighted his pipe, and leaning against the bulwarks, and mildly eyeing those
21around him, seemed to be saying to himself--"It's a mutual, joint-stock world, in all meridians. We cannibals must help
22these Christians."
