Chapter 96 - The Try-Works

"Look not too long in the face of the fire, O man! Never dream with thy hand on the helm! Turn not thy back to the compass; accept the first hint of the hitching tiller; believe not the artificial fire, when its redness makes all things look ghastly."

We learn of the fire and the pots that burn whale blubber and how they open up a gate to hell and madness.
