Chapter XXVI spans lines 4300 to 4304 of its source text. The chapter's title, "CHAPTER XXVI. THE PITCH OF THE CAPE.", suggests a focus on the ship's movement or conditions around a cape, likely Cape Horn, given the preceding chapter's title. The provided text snippet for this chapter, however, appears to be the title of the *next* chapter, "CHAPTER XXVII. SOME THOUGHTS GROWING OUT OF MAD JACK’S COUNTERMANDING HIS SUPERIOR’S ORDER.", indicating a potential extraction anomaly where the chapter content itself is not present in the `text` property.
