Discussion question 3

1. Melville contributes many pages to describe the story of the Town-Ho in chapter 54. Is the purpose of Town-Ho's story to present possibility and destructiveness of mutiny in Pequod due to Ahab's pusue of Moby Dick?

2. Does the fact that whalers have Gam, a social meeting of two whale-ships, grants more respect and dignity to the profession of whaling?
