The Candles

While the ship battles the typhoon, and the men debate their next move, Ahab believes that he sees a light that leads to the White Whale. There are repeated flashes of lightning that seem to lead Ahab to Moby Dick. Starbuck cries out for Ahab to look at the boat. There are hints of mutiny among the crew, but Ahab says that all of their oaths to hunt the White Whale are as binding as his own.Ahab believes that he sees a light that leads to the White Whale.
