Again
,
although
the
recruits
from
the
Falklands
formed
only
a
total
of
fourteen
men
,
as
against
the
twelve
of
the
old
crew
,
was
it
not
to
be
feared
that
some
of
the
latter
would
take
Hearne
’
s
side
?
What
if
Hearne
’
s
people
,
urged
by
despair
,
were
already
thinking
of
seizing
the
only
boat
we
now
possessed
,
setting
off
towards
the
north
,
and
leaving
us
on
this
iceberg
?
It
was
,
then
,
of
great
importance
that
our
boat
should
be
put
in
safety
and
closely
watched
.
A
marked
change
had
taken
place
in
Captain
Len
Guy
since
the
recent
occurrences
.
He
seemed
to
be
transformed
upon
finding
himself
face
to
face
with
the
dangers
which
menaced
us
.
Up
to
that
time
he
had
been
solely
occupied
in
searching
for
his
fellow
-
countrymen
;
he
had
handed
over
the
command
of
the
schooner
to
West
,
and
he
could
not
have
given
it
to
anyone
more
zealous
and
more
capable
.
But
from
this
date
he
resumed
his
position
as
master
of
the
ship
,
and
used
it
with
the
energy
required
by
the
circumstances
;
in
a
word
,
he
again
became
sole
master
on
board
,
after
God
.
At
his
command
the
crew
were
drawn
up
around
him
on
a
flat
spot
a
little
to
the
left
of
the
Halbrane
.
In
that
place
the
following
were
assembled
:
—
on
the
seniors
’
side
:
Martin
Holt
and
Hardy
,
Rogers
,
Francis
,
Gratian
,
Bury
,
Stern
,
the
cook
(
Endicott
)
,
and
I
may
add
Dirk
Peters
;
on
the
side
of
the
new
-
comers
,
Hearne
and
the
thirteen
other
Falkland
sailors
.
The
latter
composed
a
distinct
group
;
the
sealing
-
master
was
their
spokesman
and
exercised
a
baneful
influence
over
them
.
Captain
Len
Guy
cast
a
stern
glance
upon
the
men
and
said
in
a
sharp
tone
:
“
Sailors
of
the
Halbrane
,
I
must
first
speak
to
you
of
our
lost
companions
.
Five
of
us
have
just
perished
in
this
catastrophe
.
”
“
We
are
waiting
to
perish
in
our
turn
,
in
these
seas
,
where
we
have
been
dragged
in
spite
of
—
”
“
Be
silent
,
Hearne
,
”
cried
West
,
pale
with
anger
,
“
or
if
not
—
”
“
Hearne
has
said
what
he
had
to
say
,
”
Captain
Len
Guy
continued
,
coldly
.
“
Now
it
is
said
,
and
I
advise
him
not
to
interrupt
me
a
second
time
!
”
The
sealing
-
master
might
possibly
have
ventured
on
an
answer
,
for
he
felt
that
he
was
backed
by
the
majority
of
the
crew
;
but
Martin
Holt
held
him
back
,
and
he
was
silent
.
Captain
Len
Guy
then
took
off
his
hat
and
pronounced
the
following
words
with
an
emotion
that
affected
us
to
the
bottom
of
our
hearts
:
