Ishmael explains why whalers are great guys, while Ann skips a few pages until something actually happens. We are introduced to the Pequod's mates, Starbuck, Stubb, and...the other one. Steve. Yeah, Steve. Ahab finally comes out of his cabin. Ishmael admires his ivory leg. Ahab verbally abuses and kicks Stubb, or possibly Steve, who has bad dreams as a result but decides that being kicked with an ivory leg is a positive thing. Somehow. Ishmael tells us all about whales, but disputes the notion that whales are not fish. Ann skips more pages. Ishmael likes the weather.
