ending
On the third day, when Captain Ahab sees the whale again, he asks Starbuck to
watch the ship for him while he is out fighting the whale. Starbuck tries to stop
him from going but it does not work.

There is only one boat left and I am in the boat with Captain Ahab. We sit there
and wait for Moby Dick to come. When it appears, it swims towards us and hit the
boat. The boat breaks and water comes in. We try our best to get the water out.

Suddenly, we see that Fedallahs body is stuck in the ropes around the whales
body. We want to run away but Captain Ahab will not let us do that. He says if we
do that he will throw the harpoon at us.

After that the whale appears again and hits our boat again. I fall into the sea.
Then a man realizes the whale is going to hit the Pequod. When they see that Moby
Dick is going to hit the ship, many men quickly run away and jump from the ship,
except for Queequeg.

Moby Dick hit the Pequod, A lot of water is going in to the ship. Starbuck blames
Captain Ahab for this. Captain Ahab still does not give up. He harpoons the whale
below his small black eye. The whale then pulls the rope and the men fall down in
the boat. Captain Ahab tries to cut the rope but before he can do that the rope
goes around his body. It pulls him out of the boat. And then he is no longer there.

The rope breaks, Moby Dick swims away. The men cannot find Captain Ahab. The
Pequod went down, Queuequeg also went down. When the ship goes down, it pulls
the whaling boat with it. I think I am going to die, but something comes up under
me. It is Queuequegs coffin. I climb onto the coffin and it saves me!

I stay there for two days and two nights. My mouth is very dry and my face and
arms are red from the sun. The nights are cold. A ship saved me. It is the Rachel,
the ship that wants to look for their captains son. However, they cannot find him.
But they are kind enough to give me food, water and a bed.
