Chapter 97: Moby Dick

The chapter describes how most sailors are always in darkness because of the lack of oil on board. On the whaler's ship the boat is glowing like a temple. Once again, the whalers submerse themselves in what they do and what they love. Even when they are sleeping they let there lamps go and all have personal collections of lamps. These men are completely devoted to whaling, however it is what they know and love.
