The
sea
-
birds
were
more
numerous
,
and
were
evidently
not
frightened
;
for
they
kept
flying
round
the
mast
,
or
perching
in
the
yards
.
Several
whitish
ropes
about
five
or
six
feet
long
were
brought
on
board
.
They
were
chaplets
formed
of
millions
of
shell
-
fish
.
Whales
,
spouting
jets
of
feathery
water
from
their
blow
-
holes
,
appeared
at
a
distance
,
and
I
remarked
that
all
them
took
a
southerly
direction
.
There
was
therefore
reason
to
believe
that
the
sea
extended
far
and
wide
in
that
direction
.
The
schooner
covered
two
or
three
miles
of
her
course
without
any
increase
of
speed
.
This
coast
evidently
stretched
from
north
-
west
to
south
-
east
.
Nevertheless
,
the
telescopes
revealed
no
distinctive
features
—
even
after
three
hours
’
navigation
.
The
crew
,
gathered
together
on
the
forecastle
,
were
looking
on
without
revealing
their
impressions
.
West
,
after
going
aloft
to
the
fore
-
cross
-
trees
,
where
he
had
remained
ten
minutes
,
had
reported
nothing
precise
.
Stationed
at
the
port
side
,
leaning
my
elbows
on
the
bulwarks
,
I
closely
watched
the
sky
line
,
broken
only
towards
the
east
.
At
this
moment
the
boatswain
rejoined
me
,
and
without
preface
said
:
“
Will
you
allow
me
to
give
you
my
opinion
,
Mr
.
Jeorling
?
”
“
Give
it
,
boatswain
,
”
I
replied
,
“
at
the
risk
of
my
not
adopting
it
if
I
don
’
t
agree
with
it
.
”
“
It
is
correct
,
and
according
as
we
get
nearer
one
must
really
be
blind
not
to
adopt
it
!
”
“
And
what
idea
have
you
got
?
”
“
That
it
is
not
land
which
lies
before
us
,
Mr
.
