We
had
now
to
ascertain
whether
any
of
those
who
were
on
the
deck
at
the
time
of
the
catastrophe
had
been
thrown
over
the
bulwarks
and
precipitated
,
into
the
sea
?
By
Captain
Len
Guy
’
s
orders
all
the
sailors
then
present
joined
the
group
in
which
I
stood
with
the
mate
,
the
boatswain
,
Hardy
and
Martin
Holt
.
So
far
,
this
catastrophe
had
cost
us
five
men
—
these
were
the
first
since
our
departure
from
Kerguelen
,
but
were
they
to
be
the
last
?
There
was
no
doubt
that
these
unfortunate
fellows
had
perished
,
because
we
called
them
in
vain
,
and
in
vain
we
sought
for
them
,
when
the
fog
abated
,
along
the
sides
of
the
iceberg
,
at
every
place
where
they
might
have
been
able
to
catch
on
to
a
projection
.
When
the
disappearance
of
the
five
men
had
been
ascertained
,
we
fell
into
despair
.
Then
we
felt
more
keenly
than
before
the
dangers
which
threaten
every
expedition
to
the
Antarctic
zone
.
“
What
about
Hearne
?
”
said
a
voice
.
Martin
Holt
pronounced
the
name
at
a
moment
when
there
was
general
silence
.
Had
the
sealing
-
master
been
crushed
to
death
in
the
narrow
part
of
the
hold
where
he
was
shut
up
?
West
rushed
towards
the
schooner
,
hoisted
himself
on
board
by
means
of
a
rope
hanging
over
the
bows
,
and
gained
the
hatch
which
gives
access
to
that
part
of
the
hold
.
We
waited
silent
and
motionless
to
learn
the
fate
of
Hearne
,
although
the
evil
spirit
of
the
crew
was
but
little
worthy
of
our
pity
.
And
yet
,
how
many
of
us
were
then
thinking
that
if
we
had
heeded
his
advice
,
and
if
the
schooner
had
taken
the
northern
course
,
a
whole
crew
would
not
have
been
reduced
to
take
refuge
on
a
drifting
ice
-
mountain
!
I
scarcely
dared
to
calculate
my
own
share
of
the
vast
responsibility
,
I
who
had
so
vehemently
insisted
on
the
prolongation
of
the
voyage
.
