“
Why
do
you
speak
of
the
Antarctic
seas
?
”
he
asked
,
taking
my
hand
.
“
Well
,
just
as
I
might
have
spoken
of
the
‘
Hyperborean
seas
’
from
whence
an
Irish
poet
has
made
Sebastian
Cabot
address
some
lovely
verses
to
his
Lady
.
(

)
I
spoke
of
the
South
Pole
as
I
might
have
spoken
of
the
North
.
”
Captain
Len
Guy
did
not
answer
,
and
I
thought
I
saw
tears
glisten
in
his
eyes
.
Then
,
as
though
he
would
escape
from
some
harrowing
recollection
which
my
words
had
evoked
,
he
said
,
—
“
Who
would
venture
to
seek
the
South
Pole
?
”
“
It
would
be
difficult
to
reach
,
and
the
experiments
would
be
of
no
practical
use
,
”
I
replied
.
“
Nevertheless
there
are
men
sufficiently
adventurous
to
embark
in
such
an
enterprise
.
”
“
Yes
—
adventurous
is
the
word
!
”
muttered
the
captain
.
“
And
now
,
”
I
resumed
,
“
the
United
States
is
again
making
an
attempt
with
Wilkes
’
s
fleet
,
the
Vancouver
,
the
Peacock
,
the
Flying
Fish
,
and
others
.
”
“
The
United
States
,
Mr
.
Jeorling
?
Do
you
mean
to
say
that
an
expedition
has
been
sent
by
the
Federal
Government
to
the
Antarctic
seas
?
”
“
The
fact
is
certain
,
and
last
year
,
before
I
left
America
,
I
learned
that
the
vessels
had
sailed
.
That
was
a
year
ago
,
and
it
is
very
possible
that
Wilkes
has
gone
farther
than
any
of
the
preceding
explorers
.
”
Captain
Len
Guy
had
relapsed
into
silence
,
and
came
out
