It
was
absolutely
necessary
not
to
allow
discipline
to
decline
,
or
discouragement
to
grow
among
the
crew
;
so
that
,
on
the
7th
of
January
,
Captain
Len
Guy
at
my
request
assembled
the
men
and
addressed
them
in
the
following
words
:
—
“
Sailors
of
the
Halbrane
,
since
our
departure
from
Tsalal
Island
,
the
schooner
has
gained
two
degrees
southwards
,
and
I
now
inform
you
,
that
,
conformably
with
the
engagement
signed
by
Mr
.
Jeorling
,
four
thousand
dollars
—
that
is
two
thousand
dollars
for
each
degree
—
are
due
to
you
,
and
will
be
paid
at
the
end
of
the
voyage
.
”
These
words
were
greeted
with
some
murmurs
of
satisfaction
,
but
not
with
cheers
,
except
those
of
Hurliguerly
the
boatswain
,
and
Endicott
the
cook
,
which
found
no
echo
.
On
the
13th
of
January
a
conversation
took
place
between
the
boatswain
and
myself
of
a
nature
to
justify
my
anxiety
concerning
the
temper
of
our
crew
.
The
men
were
at
breakfast
,
with
the
exception
of
Drap
and
Stern
.
The
schooner
was
cutting
the
water
under
a
stiff
breeze
.
I
was
walking
between
the
fore
and
main
masts
,
watching
the
great
flights
of
birds
wheeling
about
the
ship
with
deafening
clangour
,
and
the
petrels
occasionally
perching
on
our
yards
.
No
effort
was
made
to
catch
or
shoot
them
;
it
would
have
been
useless
cruelty
,
since
their
oily
and
stringy
flesh
is
not
eatable
.
At
this
moment
Hurliguerly
approached
me
,
looked
attentively
at
the
birds
,
and
said
,
—
“
I
remark
one
thing
,
Mr
.
Jeorling
.
”
“
What
is
it
,
boatswain
?
”
“
That
these
birds
do
not
fly
so
directly
south
as
they
did
up
to
the
present
.
Some
of
them
are
setting
north
.
”
“
I
have
noticed
the
same
fact
.
”
