Which way heading?" "Bless my soul, and curse the foul fiend's," cried Bunger, stoopingly walking round Ahab, and like a dog, strangely snuffing; "this man's blood bring the thermometer! it's at the boiling point! his pulse makes these planks beat! sir!" taking a lancet from his pocket, and drawing near to Ahab's arm. "Avast!" roared Ahab, dashing him against the bulwarks "Man the boat!
Oh, you solemn rogue, you you Bunger! was there ever such another Bunger in the watery world? Bunger, when you die, you ought to die in pickle, you dog; you should be preserved to future ages, you rascal." "What became of the White Whale?" now cried Ahab, who thus far had been impatiently listening to this byeplay between the two Englishmen. "Oh!" cried the one-armed captain, Oh, yes!
"My captain, you must have ere this perceived, respected sir" said the imperturbable godly-looking Bunger, slightly bowing to Ahab "is apt to be facetious at times; he spins us many clever things of that sort. But I may as well say en passant, as the French remark that I myself that is to say, Jack Bunger, late of the reverend clergy am a strict total abstinence man; I never drink-"
To escape his terrible flailings, I seized hold of my harpoon-pole sticking in him, and for a moment clung to that like a sucking fish. Now, Bunger boy, spin your part of the yarn." The professional gentleman thus familiarly pointed out, had been all the time standing near them, with nothing specific visible, to denote his gentlemanly rank on board.
"No, thank ye, Bunger," said the English Captain, "he's welcome to the arm he has, since I can't help it, and didn't know him then; but not to another one. No more White Whales for me; I've lowered for him once, and that has satisfied me.
"Come with us, Lina," said Johnny. "Where are you going?" "Going to make a Bunger Hill Monuement," replied Dotty. "We know where the shells grow real thick." "But I've lost my shaker. A dog's got it." "O, no matter, you don't care," said Dotty, in a grandmotherly tone, "for I won't let anybody laugh at you." Lina yielded.
