You are a captain, right? I am looking for a job on a ship. I don't have much experience yet, but I am quite handy and willing to learn. Do you have some work for a newbie? |

So you have enough sailors you say. I’ll keep looking then. I would even take up a job on a whaler. It’s tough work, but the pay is good. That is if you manage to get enough whale oil. |

Will you join me for a drink at the tavern? I'll tell you about my new job. The owners of the whaler Pequod hired me as their new deckhand. I have not met the captain yet, but I heard he is strange. |

The inn is completely full tonight. I will have to share a bed with someone or sleep under the stars. I am so tired I would even sleep on the floor. Hopefully, the other guy will not mind either. |

We are leaving on a whaling voyage today together with my new friend, the exotic harpooner Queequeg. We shared a room yesterday at the inn. He looks scary, but he is a really nice fellow. |

Queequeg was also hired to serve on Pequod. It’s great that I already have a friend on the ship before we even embark. We must go load provisions now. I hope we will see each other again. |

Thank you for your help. Don't forget your reward, captain. |
