We will have blood for blood.

Ahab

What mean ye by breaking in here? Away, rabble.

Pashur

[Catching sight of the corpse, raises his hands and speaks reverently] Praise to the eternal judge. May he be merciful to the just. [Turning away he passes into the background]

The Others

[Suddenly stilled, murmur] Praise to the eternal judge.

One Speaks

[Gently] Who has died?

Ahab
