“
Land
ahead
!
”
cried
Dirk
Peters
.
We
looked
,
but
could
discern
nothing
on
the
sea
,
nor
was
it
until
a
quarter
of
an
hour
had
elapsed
that
our
glasses
enabled
us
to
recognize
the
tops
of
a
few
scattered
islets
shining
in
the
oblique
rays
of
the
sun
,
two
or
three
miles
to
the
westward
.
What
a
change
!
How
had
it
come
about
?
Arthur
Pym
described
spacious
islands
,
but
only
a
small
number
of
tiny
islets
,
half
a
dozen
at
most
,
protruded
from
the
waters
.
At
this
moment
the
half
-
breed
came
sliding
down
from
his
lofty
perch
and
jumped
to
the
deck
.
“
Well
,
Dirk
Peters
!
Have
you
recognized
the
group
?
”
asked
the
captain
.
“
The
group
?
”
replied
the
half
-
breed
,
shaking
his
head
.
“
No
,
I
have
only
seen
the
tops
of
five
or
six
islets
.
There
is
nothing
but
stone
heaps
there
—
not
a
single
island
!
”
As
the
schooner
approached
we
easily
recognized
these
fragments
of
the
group
,
which
had
been
almost
entirely
destroyed
on
its
western
side
.
The
scattered
remains
formed
dangerous
reefs
which
might
seriously
injure
the
keel
or
the
sides
of
the
Halbrane
,
and
there
was
no
intention
of
risking
the
ship
’
s
safety
among
them
.
We
accordingly
cast
anchor
at
a
safe
distance
,
and
a
boat
was
lowered
for
the
reception
of
Captain
Len
Guy
,
the
boatswain
,
Dirk
Peters
,
Holt
,
two
men
and
myself
.
The
still
,
transparent
water
,
as
Peters
steered
us
skilfully
between
the
projecting
edges
of
the
little
reefs
,
allowed
us
to
see
,
not
a
bed
of
sand
strewn
with
shells
,
but
heaps
which
were
overgrown
by
land
vegetation
,
tufts
plants
not
belonging
to
the
marine
flora
that
floated
the
surface
of
the
sea
.
Presently
we
landed
on
one
of
the
larger
islets
which
rose
to
about
thirty
feet
above
the
sea
.
“
Do
the
tides
rise
sometimes
to
that
height
?
”
I
inquired
of
the
captain
.
“
Never
,
”
he
replied
,
“
and
perhaps
we
shall
discover
some
remains
of
the
vegetable
kingdom
,
of
habitations
,
or
of
an
encampment
.
”
