Hello, Lalla, welcome to the forum.
I would love to help you, but unfortunately, I do not have my copy of Moby Dick anywhere nearby. If you could quote the context, perhaps the paragraph, I could certainly help. I would call myself no expert on Melville's crown work, but adored the novel. I hope to hear from you soon.
