Melville states in chapter XCV of "Moby Dick" (He He): "Had you stepped on board the Pequod at a certain juncture of this post-mortemizing of the whale... pretty sure am I that you would have scanned with no small curiosity a very strange, enigmatical object, which you would have seen there...(an) unaccountable cone, - longer than a Kentuckian is tall, nigh a foot in diameter at the base, and jet-black as Yojo, the ebony idol of Queequeg." |
