Moby Dick Assassination details Brendan McKay. Here are the details for the word clusters on the Moby Dick page. To find them in the text, it will help if you have the file http://cs.anu.edu.au/~bdm/dilugim/mdnum.txt.gz which (when unzipped) shows the number of the first letter in each line. In the table below, we give the first letter and the skip of the name appearing in the cluster. For example, for Dollfuss the first letter is 787845 and the skip is 19000, which means that the letters DOLLFUSS appear in positions 787845, 787845+19000, 787845+2*19000, ..., 787845+7*19000. The last value is 920845 so that is where the final S lies. Consulting mdnum.txt, we find that 920845 lies in this line: 920821 sun, moon, and stars! I call ye assassins of as good a fellow as ever spouted Thus, letter 920845 is the second S of "assassins". Note that only letters are counted, not digits or punctuation.
