Melville's account of his months in an Australian whaler and on Tahiti in 1842, after he had sailed from Fairhaven in the whaler Acushnet in January 1841, three months before the Hydaspe left New Bedford. Read 14 Oct 2026 in the Internet Archive's copy.

  • The forecastle (pp. 37-38): "The general aspect of the forecastle was dungeon-like and dingy in the extreme. In the first place, it was not five feet from deck to deck." "Myriads of cockroaches, and regiments of rats, disputed the place with us."
