Chapter 113 - "The Forge"
Ahab commands the ship's blacksmith, Perth, to forge him a new harpoon with which to slay the white whale.
Once forged, Ahaba asks his three harpooners to donate enough blood to baptist the harpoon.
Having given their blood to the task, Ahab holds aloft this new iron and exclaims, "Ego non baptizo te in nomine patris, sed in nomine diaboli!"
