Not P but Moby-Dick (36)

[Mike Jing]

>From Chapter 52:

Round the world! There is much in that sound to inspire proud feelings; but
whereto does all that circumnavigation conduct? Only through numberless
perils to the very point whence we started, where those that we left behind
secure, were all the time before us.

What does "those that we left behind secure" refer to? The existing
translations are all over the place, and I suspect only one of them is
close to right.
