we soon felt (to feel) like old friends. we went down to breakfast togegether and saw many other whalers having breakfast.
I had some bread and butter with a cup of hot coffee, but Queequeg only ate beef steaks, and plenty of them.
I didn't think Queequeg was interested in going to church. But , to my surprise, when I got to the chapel queequeg was there.
As we waited for the reverend I read some of the memorials to sailors lost at sea. They all began with "sacred to the memory of..."

To day his sermon was about Jonah , who was swallowed by a whale.
