1 And so saying, he led the way below deck into the cabin.
2 Meanwhile Captain Ahab remained invisibly enshrined within his cabin.

7 That is to say, they take their meals in the captain's cabin, and sleep in a place indirectly communicating with it.
8 So down we went into the cabin, and to my great joy Queequeg was soon enrolled among the same ship's company to which I myself belonged.
9 "Quick, Bildad," said Peleg, his partner, who, aghast at the close vicinity of the flying harpoon, had retreated towards the cabin gangway.
