Chapter 87 - The Grand Armada

"Owing to the density of the crowd of reposing whales, more immediately surrounding the embayed axis of the herd, no possible chance of escape was at present afforded us. We must watch for a breach in the living wall that hemmed us in; the wall that had only admitted us in order to shut us up."

The Pequod discovers a pod of whales in the pacific and go on a long hunt. Cows & calfs.
