1Third among the harpooneers was Daggoo, a gigantic, coal-black negro-savage, with a lion-like tread--an Ahasuerus to
2behold. Suspended from his ears were two golden hoops, so large that the sailors called them ring-bolts, and would talk
3of securing the top-sail halyards to them. In his youth Daggoo had voluntarily shipped on board of a whaler, lying in a
4lonely bay on his native coast. And never having been anywhere in the world but in Africa, Nantucket, and the pagan
5harbors most frequented by whalemen; and having now led for many years the bold life of the fishery in the ships of
6owners uncommonly heedful of what manner of men they shipped; Daggoo retained all his barbaric virtues, and erect as a
7giraffe, moved about the decks in all the pomp of six feet five in his socks. There was a corporeal humility in looking
8up at him; and a white man standing before him seemed a white flag come to beg truce of a fortress. Curious to tell,
9this imperial negro, Ahasuerus Daggoo, was the Squire of little Flask, who looked like a chess-man beside him. As for
10the residue of the Pequod's company, be it said, that at the present day not one in two of the many thousand men before
11the mast employed in the American whale fishery, are Americans born, though pretty nearly all the officers are. Herein
12it is the same with the American whale fishery as with the American army and military and merchant navies, and the
13engineering forces employed in the construction of the American Canals and Railroads. The same, I say, because in all
14these cases the native American liberally provides the brains, the rest of the world as generously supplying the
15muscles. No small number of these whaling seamen belong to the Azores, where the outward bound Nantucket whalers
16frequently touch to augment their crews from the hardy peasants of those rocky shores. In like manner, the Greenland
17whalers sailing out of Hull or London, put in at the Shetland Islands, to receive the full complement of their crew.
18Upon the passage homewards, they drop them there again. How it is, there is no telling, but Islanders seem to make the
19best whalemen. They were nearly all Islanders in the Pequod, Isolatoes too, I call such, not acknowledging the common
20continent of men, but each Isolato living on a separate continent of his own. Yet now, federated along one keel, what a
21set these Isolatoes were! An Anacharsis Clootz deputation from all the isles of the sea, and all the ends of the earth,
22accompanying Old Ahab in the Pequod to lay the world's grievances before that bar from which not very many of them ever
23come back. Black Little Pip--he never did--oh, no! he went before. Poor Alabama boy! On the grim Pequod's forecastle, ye
24shall ere long see him, beating his tambourine; prelusive of the eternal time, when sent for, to the great quarter-deck
25on high, he was bid strike in with angels, and beat his tambourine in glory; called a coward here, hailed a hero there!
