“
Yes
,
”
he
replied
,
and
tears
stood
in
his
eyes
,
“
yes
,
it
may
be
so
.
And
yet
,
how
could
my
brother
and
his
unfortunate
companions
have
found
the
means
of
escaping
?
Is
it
not
far
more
probable
that
they
all
perished
in
the
earthquake
?
”
Here
Hunt
made
us
a
signal
to
follow
him
,
and
we
did
so
.
After
he
had
pushed
across
the
valley
for
a
considerable
distance
,
he
stopped
.
What
a
spectacle
was
before
our
eyes
!
There
,
lying
in
heaps
,
were
human
bones
,
all
the
fragments
of
that
framework
of
humanity
which
we
call
the
skeleton
,
hundreds
of
them
,
without
a
particle
of
flesh
,
clusters
of
skulls
still
bearing
some
tufts
of
hair
—
a
vast
bone
heap
,
dried
and
whitened
in
this
place
!
We
were
struck
dumb
and
motionless
by
this
spectacle
.
When
Captain
Len
Guy
could
speak
,
he
murmured
,
—
“
My
brother
,
my
poor
brother
!
”
On
a
little
reflection
,
however
,
my
mind
refused
to
admit
certain
things
.
How
was
this
catastrophe
to
be
reconciled
with
Patterson
’
s
memoranda
?
The
entries
in
his
note
-
book
stated
explicitly
that
the
mate
of
the
Jane
had
left
his
companions
on
Tsalal
Island
seven
months
previously
.
They
could
not
then
have
perished
in
this
earthquake
,
for
the
state
of
the
bones
proved
that
it
had
taken
place
several
years
earlier
,
and
must
have
occurred
after
the
departure
of
Arthur
Pym
and
Dirk
Peters
,
since
no
mention
of
it
was
made
in
the
narrative
of
the
former
.
These
facts
were
,
then
,
irreconcilable
.
If
the
earthquake
was
of
recent
date
,
the
presence
of
those
time
-
bleached
skeletons
could
not
be
attributed
to
its
action
.
In
any
case
,
the
survivors
of
the
Jane
were
not
among
them
.
But
then
,
where
were
they
?
The
valley
of
Klock
-
Klock
extended
no
farther
;
we
had
to
retrace
our
steps
in
order
to
regain
the
coast
.
We
had
hardly
gone
half
a
mile
on
the
cliff
’
s
edge
when
Hunt
again
stopped
,
on
perceiving
some
fragments
of
bones
which
were
turning
to
dust
,
and
did
not
seem
to
be
those
of
a
human
being
.
