(
July
31st
)
we
were
nearly
surrounded
by
ice
,
which
closed
in
the
ship
on
all
sides
,
scarcely
leaving
her
the
sea-room
in
which
she
floated
.
Our
situation
was
somewhat
dangerous
,
especially
as
we
were
compassed
round
by
a
very
thick
fog
.
We
accordingly
lay
to
,
hoping
that
some
change
would
take
place
in
the
atmosphere
and
weather
.
About
two
o'clock
o'clock
the
mist
cleared
away
,
and
we
beheld
,
stretched
out
in
every
direction
,
vast
and
irregular
plains
of
ice
,
which
seemed
to
have
no
end
.
Some
of
my
comrades
groaned
,
and
my
own
mind
began
to
grow
watchful
with
anxious
thoughts
,
when
a
strange
sight
suddenly
attracted
our
attention
and
diverted
our
solicitude
from
our
own
situation
.
We
perceived
a
low
carriage
,
fixed
on
a
sledge
and
drawn
by
dogs
,
pass
on
towards
the
north
,
at
the
distance
of
half
a
mile
;
a
being
which
had
the
shape
of
a
man
,
but
apparently
of
gigantic
stature
,
sat
in
the
sledge
and
guided
the
dogs
.
We
watched
the
rapid
progress
of
the
traveller
with
our
telescopes
until
he
was
lost
among
the
distant
inequalities
of
the
ice
.
This
appearance
excited
our
unqualified
wonder
.
We
were
,
as
we
believed
,
many
hundred
miles
from
any
land
;
but
this
apparition
seemed
to
denote
that
it
was
not
,
in
reality
,
so
distant
as
we
had
supposed
.
Shut
in
,
however
,
by
ice
,
it
was
impossible
to
follow
his
track
,
which
we
had
observed
with
the
greatest
attention
.
About
two
hours
after
this
occurrence
we
heard
the
ground
sea
,
and
before
night
the
ice
broke
and
freed
our
ship
.
We
,
however
,
lay
to
until
the
morning
,
fearing
to
encounter
in
the
dark
those
large
loose
masses
which
float
about
after
the
breaking
up
of
the
ice
.
I
profited
of
this
time
to
rest
for
a
few
hours
.
In
the
morning
,
however
,
as
soon
as
it
was
light
,
I
went
upon
deck
and
found
all
the
sailors
busy
on
one
side
of
the
vessel
,
apparently
talking
to
someone
in
the
sea
.
It
was
,
in
fact
,
a
sledge
,
like
that
we
had
seen
before
,
which
had
drifted
towards
us
in
the
night
on
a
large
fragment
of
ice
.
Only
one
dog
remained
alive
;
but
there
was
a
human
being
within
it
whom
the
sailors
were
persuading
to
enter
the
vessel
.
He
was
not
,
as
the
other
traveller
seemed
to
be
,
a
savage
inhabitant
of
some
undiscovered
island
,
but
a
European
.
When
I
appeared
on
deck
the
master
said
,
'
Here
is
our
captain
,
and
he
will
not
allow
you
to
perish
on
the
open
sea
.
'
On
perceiving
me
,
the
stranger
addressed
me
in
English
,
although
with
a
foreign
accent
.
'
Before
I
come
on
board
your
vessel
,
'
said
he
,
'
will
you
have
the
kindness
to
inform
me
whither
you
are
bound
?
'
You
may
conceive
my
astonishment
on
hearing
such
a
question
addressed
to
me
from
a
man
on
the
brink
of
destruction
and
to
whom
I
should
have
supposed
that
my
vessel
would
have
been
a
resource
which
he
would
not
have
exchanged
for
the
most
precious
wealth
the
earth
can
afford
.
I
replied
,
however
,
that
we
were
on
a
voyage
of
discovery
towards
the
northern
pole
.
Upon
hearing
this
he
appeared
satisfied
and
consented
to
come
on
board
.
Good
God
!
Margaret
,
if
you
had
seen
the
man
who
thus
capitulated
for
his
safety
,
your
surprise
would
have
been
boundless
.
His
limbs
were
nearly
frozen
,
and
his
body
dreadfully
emaciated
by
fatigue
and
suffering
.
I
never
saw
a
man
in
so
wretched
a
condition
.
We
attempted
to
carry
him
into
the
cabin
,
but
as
soon
as
he
had
quitted
the
fresh
air
he
fainted
.
We
accordingly
brought
him
back
to
the
deck
and
restored
him
to
animation
by
rubbing
him
with
brandy
and
forcing
him
to
swallow
a
small
quantity
.
As
soon
as
he
showed
signs
of
life
we
wrapped
him
up
in
blankets
and
placed
him
near
the
chimney
of
the
kitchen
stove
.
By
slow
degrees
he
recovered
and
ate
a
little
soup
,
which
restored
him
wonderfully
.
Two
days
passed
in
this
manner
before
he
was
able
to
speak
,
and
I
often
feared
that
his
sufferings
had
deprived
him
of
understanding
.
When
he
had
in
some
measure
recovered
,
I
removed
him
to
my
own
cabin
and
attended
on
him
as
much
as
my
duty
would
permit
.
I
never
saw
a
more
interesting
creature
:
his
eyes
have
generally
an
expression
of
wildness
,
and
even
madness
,
but
there
are
moments
when
,
if
anyone
performs
an
act
of
kindness
towards
him
or
does
him
the
most
trifling
service
,
his
whole
countenance
is
lighted
up
,
as
it
were
,
with
a
beam
of
benevolence
and
sweetness
that
I
never
saw
equalled
.
But
he
is
generally
melancholy
and
despairing
,
and
sometimes
he
gnashes
his
teeth
,
as
if
impatient
of
the
weight
of
woes
that
oppresses
him
.
