From
that
day
forward
the
ship
’
s
log
recorded
that
the
temperature
fell
continuously
.
The
thermometer
in
the
air
and
in
the
shade
did
not
mark
more
than
32
°
(
0
°
C
.
)
,
and
when
plunged
into
water
it
only
indicated
26
°
(
3
°
33
’
C
.
below
0
°
)
.
What
could
be
the
cause
of
this
fall
,
since
we
were
at
the
height
of
the
southern
summer
?
The
crew
were
obliged
to
resume
their
woollen
clothing
,
which
they
had
left
off
a
month
previously
.
The
schooner
,
however
,
was
sailing
before
the
wind
,
and
these
first
cold
blasts
were
less
keenly
felt
.
Yet
we
recognized
the
necessity
of
reaching
our
goal
as
soon
as
possible
.
To
linger
in
this
region
or
to
expose
ourselves
to
the
danger
of
wintering
out
would
be
to
tempt
Providence
!
Captain
Len
Guy
tested
the
direction
of
the
current
by
heavy
lead
lines
,
and
discovered
that
it
was
beginning
to
deviate
from
its
former
course
.
“
Whether
it
is
a
continent
,
”
said
he
,
“
that
lies
before
us
,
or
whether
it
is
an
island
,
we
have
at
present
no
means
of
determining
.
If
it
be
a
continent
,
we
must
conclude
that
the
current
has
an
issue
towards
the
south
-
east
.
”
“
And
it
is
quite
possible
,
”
I
replied
,
“
that
the
solid
part
of
the
Antarctic
region
may
be
reduced
to
a
mere
polar
mound
.
In
any
case
,
it
is
well
to
note
any
of
those
observations
which
are
likely
to
be
accurate
.
”
“
That
is
just
what
I
am
doing
,
Mr
.
Jeorling
,
and
we
shall
bring
back
a
mass
of
information
about
this
portion
of
the
southern
sea
which
will
prove
useful
to
navigators
.
”
“
If
ever
any
venture
to
come
so
far
south
,
captain
!
We
have
penetrated
so
far
,
thanks
to
the
help
of
particular
circumstances
,
the
earliness
of
the
summer
season
,
an
abnormal
temperature
and
a
rapid
thaw
.
Such
conditions
may
only
occur
once
in
twenty
or
fifty
years
!
”
“
Wherefore
,
Mr
.
Jeorling
,
I
thank
Providence
for
this
,
and
hope
revives
in
me
to
some
extent
.
As
the
weather
has
been
constantly
fine
,
what
is
there
to
make
it
impossible
for
my
brother
and
my
fellow
-
countrymen
to
have
landed
on
this
coast
,
whither
the
wind
and
the
tide
bore
them
?
What
our
schooner
has
done
,
their
boat
may
have
done
!
They
surely
did
not
start
on
a
voyage
which
might
be
prolonged
to
an
indefinite
time
without
a
proper
supply
of
provisions
!
Why
should
they
not
have
found
the
resources
as
those
afforded
to
them
by
the
island
of
Tsalal
during
many
long
years
?
They
had
ammunition
and
arms
elsewhere
.
Fish
abound
in
these
waters
,
water
-
fowl
also
.
Oh
yes
!
my
heart
is
full
of
hope
,
and
I
wish
I
were
a
few
hours
older
!
”
Without
being
quite
so
sanguine
as
Len
Guy
,
I
was
glad
to
see
he
had
regained
his
hopeful
mood
.
Perhaps
,
if
his
investigations
were
successful
,
I
might
be
able
to
have
them
continued
in
Arthur
Pym
’
s
interest
—
even
into
the
heart
of
this
strange
land
which
we
were
approaching
.
The
Halbrane
was
going
along
slowly
on
these
clear
waters
,
which
swarmed
with
fish
belonging
to
the
same
species
as
we
had
already
met
.
