Chapter 109: Moby Dick

After finding leaks in the barrels containing oil Starbuck tells Ahab and eventually Ahab comands that the barrels be fixed. However Ishmael believes that he only does this so that there isn't an uproar form the crew. Just as he did when he decided that he would go for a few other whales besides just Moby Dick. Another sign that Ahab has gone completely insane with passion for killing Moby Dick, he is willing to risk their whole supply of oil and let down hundreds of people at home who are part owners of the ship.
