- war-wood of his native isle; and upon inquiry, he had learned that all whalemen who died in Nantucket, were laid in those same dark canoes, and that the fancy of being so laid had much pleased him; for it was not unlike the custom of his own race, who, after embalming a dead warrior, stretched him out in his canoe, and so left him to be floated away to the starry archipelagoes

- Both entities refer to the generic, unnamed native homeland of Queequeg. The labels 'queequegs native isle' and 'queequegs native island' are synonymous descriptive terms. The differing cultural practices (embalming/canoe burial vs. cannibalism) are distinct attributes of the same real-world place, not indicators of separate places.
