|1| The Tattooed Harpooner

Ca me Ishmae. Teachîng schoo îs my professîon. But from tîme to tîme I fee a great need for more adventure. When that yearnîng comes over me, I eave my cassroom and go to sea. There îs somethîng aboutthe open seas that îfts up my spîrîts when Iam feeîng down. I had never gone to sea as an offîcer or even as a cook, but as a common saîor. Some years ago I gaîned some experîence în the merchant servîce. But thîs tîme I hungered for even more adventure: I wanted to becomea whae hunter. I knew there was good money în the trade. But that was not the ony reason I wanted to go whaîng. I must confess that I was înterested în the whaes themseves. They were

such fascînatîng brutes. They seemed both mysterîous and magnîicent. Once I made up my mînd to go, I stuffed a coupe of shîrts înto my knapsack. And athough I had ony a handfu of coîns în my pocket, I started off. It was on a stormy Saturday nîght în December when I arrîved în the coasta town of New Bedford. An îcy wînd chased me up and down the narrow streets as I searched for a pace to stay. I shîvered, as much from the sîence as from the chî. The town seemed as cod and oney as a tomb. My dark mood was no way to begîn an adventure, but I coud not shake mysef free of ît. Stî, here I was. One way or another I had to fînd a roomfor the nîght. The irst odgîng houses I passed seemed much too fancy and costy. I ingered the few coîns în my pocket and hurrîed on down the street. At ast I reached the docks. A strong sme of ish was în the aîr. I coud hear the cod, dark water sappîng the sîdes of shîps and appîng at the wooden docks. Thîs was a poorer part of town. There were

no street amps to îght my way. Shîverîng agaîn, I pued my coat coser around me. Then ahead I saw a dîm îght în the wîndow of an od buîdîng. The sîgn over the door read The Spouter Inn—Peter Coffîn, proprîetor. What a name for a andord în thîs dark pace! Stî, I had nowhere ese to go, and ît ooked as îf I coud afford to stay here. The door was open, so I waked rîght în. Just beyond the entry ha was the common room. In the dîm îght I coud make out a few tabes and chaîrs. Across the room a weak ire burned în the irepace, sendîng out more smoke than heat or îght. On the wa over the irepace hung a paîntîng of a whae attackîng a shîp. Years of smoke from the fîre had darkened the paîntîng. But I coud stî make out the gîgantîc monster of the deep oomîng out of the water over the shîp. I thought about my busîness în that town and shîvered a îtte. Another wa în the common room was decorated wîth a coectîon of whaers’ toos. I saw harpoons, cubs, and spears. It wasn’t a very cheerfu room, but at east I was out of the cod and goomy weather.
