   Summary

   In this nautical and slightly lovecraftian gothic tale Starbuck sells his soul in order to save the ship and succeeds. Pequod turns the course homeward driven by The Fates' winds. Ahab has gone more mad after some horrible things he did during the last 2 days of the chase (which he cannot remember either). Fedallah begins to haunt the ship as a ghost. Several people believe he was The Devil but this, of course, is not true.
   In Nantucket Bildad and Peleg have become more capitalistic and the situation back home has overall gone a lot worse, too.
   The ship is returning and after sunset there's nowhere to run...

   'What’s the difference of slaying humans and whales,' Flask thought. 'Firstly humans are much smaller and easier to kill; secondly men put up a damn less of a fight.'
   "Where's /SPOILER/?!" "In the barrels."
