And
then
the
population
of
Tsalal
Island
,
the
almost
naked
men
,
armed
with
clubs
and
lances
,
the
tall
,
well
-
made
,
upstanding
women
,
endowed
with
grace
and
freedom
of
bearing
not
to
be
found
in
a
civilized
society
—
those
are
the
expressions
of
Arthur
Pym
—
and
the
crowd
of
children
accompanying
them
,
what
had
become
of
all
these
?
Where
were
the
multitude
of
natives
,
with
black
skins
,
black
hair
,
black
teeth
,
who
regarded
white
colour
with
deadly
terror
?
All
of
a
sudden
a
light
flashed
upon
me
.
“
An
earthquake
!
”
I
exclaimed
.
“
Yes
,
two
or
three
of
those
terrible
shocks
,
so
common
in
these
regions
where
the
sea
penetrates
by
infiltration
,
and
a
day
comes
when
the
quantity
of
accumulated
vapour
makes
its
way
out
and
destroys
everything
on
the
surface
.
”
“
Could
an
earthquake
have
changed
Tsalal
Island
to
such
an
extent
?
”
asked
Len
Guy
,
musingly
.
“
Yes
,
captain
,
an
earthquake
has
done
this
thing
;
it
has
destroyed
every
trace
of
all
that
Arthur
Pym
saw
here
.
”
Hunt
,
who
had
drawn
nigh
to
us
,
and
was
listening
,
nodded
his
head
in
approval
of
my
words
.
“
Are
not
these
countries
of
the
southern
seas
volcanic
?
”
I
resumed
;
“
If
the
Halbrane
were
to
transport
us
to
Victoria
Land
,
we
might
find
the
Erebus
and
the
Terror
in
the
midst
of
an
eruption
.
”
“
And
yet
,
”
observed
Martin
Holt
,
“
if
there
had
been
an
eruption
here
,
we
should
find
lava
beds
.
”
“
I
do
not
say
that
there
has
been
an
eruption
,
”
I
replied
,
“
but
I
do
say
the
soil
has
been
convulsed
by
an
earthquake
.
”
On
reflection
it
will
be
seen
that
the
explanation
given
by
me
deserved
to
be
admitted
.
And
then
it
came
to
my
remembrance
that
according
to
Arthur
Pym
’
s
narrative
,
Tsalal
belonged
to
a
group
of
islands
which
extended
towards
the
west
.
Unless
the
people
of
Tsalal
had
been
destroyed
,
it
was
possible
that
they
might
have
fled
into
one
of
the
neighbouring
islands
.
We
should
do
well
,
then
,
to
go
and
reconnoitre
that
archipelago
,
for
Tsalal
clearly
had
no
resources
whatever
to
offer
after
the
cataclysm
.
I
spoke
of
this
to
the
captain
.
