Chapter 14: The Battle
Capítulo 14: La Batalla
The battle with Moby Dick was like nothing I had ever experienced. The whale was intelligent, using the ocean to its advantage. It dived deep and resurfaced behind us, it used its tail to create waves that capsized boats.
La batalla con Moby Dick no se pareció a nada que yo hubiera experimentado jamás. La ballena era inteligente, usando el océano a su ventaja. Se sumergía profundamente y resurgía detrás de nosotros, usaba su cola para crear olas que volcaban los botes.
Harpoons struck the white whale again and again, but Moby Dick seemed unstoppable. It attacked our small boats with incredible power, destroying them one by one. Men were thrown into the water, some never to be seen again.
Los arpones golpeaban a la ballena blanca una y otra vez, pero Moby Dick parecía imparable. Atacaba nuestros pequeños botes con increíble poder, destruyéndolos uno por uno. Los hombres eran arrojados al agua, algunos para no ser vistos nunca más.
I saw Captain Ahab in his boat, his harpoon raised, his face fierce with determination. He would not stop until he had his revenge or was destroyed trying.
Vi al Capitán Ahab en su bote, su arpón levantado, su rostro feroz con determinación. No se detendría hasta tener su venganza o ser destruido intentándolo.
