In which the Pequod sails deeper into the placid yet deceptive Japanese seas, where calm moments evoke reveries of nature’s serene beauty while the minds aboard wrestle with darker meditations and strange portents. Then, amidst encounters with a triumphant homeward-bound ship and the fiery splendour of the sun, Captain Ahab defies the instruments of navigation, spurning their authority in a fit of wild despair and fixity of purpose.
