“‘Mr. Radney, I will not obey you. Take
that hammer away, or look to yourself.’ But the predestinated mate
coming still closer to him, where the Lakeman
stood fixed, now shook the heavy hammer
within an inch of
his teeth; meanwhile
repeating
a string of
insufferable maledictions. Retreating not
the thousandth part of an inch; stabbing
him in the eye with the unflinching poniard
of his glance, Steelkilt, clenching his right hand behind him and
creepingly drawing it back, told his persecutor that if the hammer but grazed his cheek he
(Steelkilt) would murder him. But, gentlemen, the fool had been branded for the slaughter by the gods. Immediately the hammer touched the cheek; the next instant the lower jaw
of the mate was stove in his head; he fell on the hatch spouting blood like a whale.
