The
Halbrane
was
only
at
1
°
5
’
—
about
65
miles
—
from
the
south
pole
.
“
All
hands
to
work
,
”
was
the
captain
’
s
order
that
afternoon
,
and
every
one
obeyed
it
with
a
will
.
There
was
not
a
moment
to
lose
,
as
the
question
of
time
was
more
important
than
any
other
.
So
far
as
provisions
were
concerned
,
there
was
enough
in
the
schooner
for
eighteen
months
on
full
rations
,
so
we
were
not
threatened
with
hunger
,
nor
with
thirst
either
,
notwithstanding
that
owing
to
the
water
-
casks
having
been
burst
in
the
collision
,
their
contents
had
escaped
through
their
staves
.
Luckily
,
the
barrels
of
gin
,
whisky
,
beer
,
and
wine
,
being
placed
in
the
least
exposed
part
of
the
hold
,
were
nearly
all
intact
.
Under
this
head
we
had
experienced
no
loss
,
and
the
iceberg
would
supply
us
with
good
drinking
-
water
.
It
is
a
well
-
known
fact
that
ice
,
whether
formed
from
fresh
or
salt
water
,
contains
no
salt
,
owing
to
the
chloride
of
sodium
being
eliminated
in
the
change
from
the
liquid
to
the
solid
state
.
The
origin
of
the
ice
,
therefore
,
is
a
matter
of
no
importance
.
However
,
those
blocks
which
are
easily
distinguished
by
their
greenish
colour
and
their
perfect
transparency
are
preferable
.
They
are
solidified
rain
,
and
therefore
much
more
suitable
for
drinking
-
water
.
Without
doubt
,
our
captain
would
have
recognized
any
blocks
of
this
description
,
but
none
were
to
be
found
on
the
glacier
,
owing
to
its
being
that
part
of
the
berg
which
was
originally
submerged
,
and
came
to
the
top
after
the
fall
.
The
captain
and
West
decided
first
to
lighten
the
vessel
,
by
conveying
everything
on
board
to
land
.
The
masts
were
to
be
cleared
of
rigging
,
taken
out
,
and
placed
on
the
plateau
.
It
was
necessary
to
lighten
the
vessel
as
much
as
possible
,
even
to
clear
out
the
ballast
,
owing
to
the
difficult
and
dangerous
operation
of
launching
.
It
would
be
better
to
put
off
our
departure
for
some
days
if
this
operation
could
be
performed
under
more
favourable
circumstances
.
The
loading
might
be
afterwards
accomplished
without
much
difficulty
.
Besides
this
,
another
reason
by
no
means
less
serious
presented
itself
to
us
.
It
would
have
been
an
act
of
unpardonable
rashness
to
leave
the
provisions
in
the
storeroom
of
the
Halbrane
,
her
situation
on
the
side
of
the
iceberg
being
very
precarious
.
One
shake
would
suffice
to
detach
the
ship
,
and
with
her
would
have
disappeared
the
supplies
on
which
our
lives
depended
.
On
this
account
,
we
passed
the
day
in
removing
casks
of
half
-
salted
meat
,
dried
vegetables
,
flour
,
biscuits
,
tea
,
coffee
,
barrels
of
gin
,
whisky
,
wine
and
beer
from
the
hold
and
store
-
room
and
placing
them
in
safety
in
the
hammocks
near
the
Halbrane
.
We
also
had
to
insure
our
landing
against
any
possible
accident
,
and
,
I
must
add
,
against
any
plot
on
the
part
of
Hearne
and
others
to
seize
the
boat
in
order
to
return
to
the
ice
-
barrier
.
We
placed
the
long
boat
in
a
cavity
which
would
be
easy
to
watch
,
about
thirty
feet
to
the
left
of
the
schooner
,
along
with
its
oars
,
rudder
,
compass
,
anchor
,
masts
and
sail
.
By
day
there
was
nothing
to
fear
,
and
at
night
,
or
rather
during
the
hours
of
sleep
,
the
boatswain
and
one
of
the
superiors
would
keep
guard
near
the
cavity
,
and
we
might
rest
assured
that
no
evil
could
befall
.
