The four boats were soon on the water; Ahab’s in advance, and all swiftly pulling towards their prey. Soon it went down, and while, with oars
suspended, we were awaiting its reappearance, lo! in the same spot where it sank, once more it slowly rose. Almost forgetting for the moment all thoughts of Moby Dick,
we now gazed at the most wondrous phenomenon which the secret seas have hitherto revealed to mankind. A vast pulpy mass, furlongs in length and
breadth, of a glancing cream-colour, lay floating on the water, innumerable long arms radiating from its
centre, and curling and twisting like a nest
of anacondas, as if blindly to clutch
at any hapless object
within reach. No
perceptible
face or front
did it have; no
conceivable token of either sensation or instinct;
but undulated there on the billows, an unearthly,
formless, chance-like apparition of life.
