Chapter 104: Moby Dick

..."not an inhabitable hand's breadth of land was visible. Then he whole world was the whale's;"
The sentence makes it sound as though the whale is the creator much like the Native story of Raven and before Raven got the sun there was nothing. Once again the whale is made out to be of a god-like creature so much that even churches are built out of there bones not just because of their strength but because their "holy".

"because they're 'holy'"
not "because their 'holy'". :)
