«Покуда туша кита остается на плаву у них за кормой, голову его отрубают и на шлюпке буксируют как можно ближе к берегу, но на глубине двенадцать-тринадцать футов она уже задевает за дно».

Nothing was done, and nothing seemed capable of being done; those on deck rushed toward the bows, and stood eyeing the boom as if it were the lower jaw of an exasperated whale.
Никто ничего не предпринимал, да как будто бы и нечего было предпринять; все, кто был на палубе, сгрудились на носу и оттуда недвижно следили за гиком, словно то была челюсть разъяренного кита.
