Whale Spout

1 passage in the novel carry this mark, in the order they appear.

Nor is it at all prudent for the hunter to be over curious touching the precise nature of the whale spout. It will not do for him to be peering into it, and putting his face in it. You cannot go with your pitcher to this fountain and fill it, and bring it away.

Chapter 85, The Fountain · verse 18
