Windward

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

The same!—the same!—the same to Noah as to me. There’s a soft shower to leeward. Such lovely leewardings! They must lead somewhere—to something else than common land, more palmy than the palms. Leeward! the white whale goes that way; look to windward, then; the better if the bitterer quarter.

Chapter 135, The Chase.—Third Day · verse 14
