In which the Pequod is beset by a fierce typhoon in the resplendent seas of the Orient, testing the mettle and resolve of her crew amid roaring skies and sheets of fire that dance like ghostly candles upon her masts, while the captain confronts the elemental wrath with a fiery spirit both defiant and unyielding.
