We
stood
motionless
,
with
our
feet
rooted
to
the
icy
soil
.
No
words
could
express
the
horror
of
our
situation
!
As
for
West
,
when
the
schooner
had
disappeared
in
the
abyss
,
I
saw
big
tears
fall
from
his
eyes
.
The
Halbrane
that
he
loved
so
much
was
now
an
unknown
quantity
!
Yes
,
our
stout
-
hearted
mate
wept
.
Three
of
our
men
had
perished
,
and
in
what
frightful
fashion
!
I
had
seen
Rogers
and
Gratian
,
two
of
our
most
faithful
sailors
,
stretch
out
their
hands
in
despair
as
they
were
knocked
about
by
the
rebounding
of
the
schooner
,
and
finally
sink
with
her
!
The
other
man
from
the
Falklands
,
an
American
,
was
crushed
in
its
rush
;
his
shapeless
form
lay
in
a
pool
of
blood
.
Three
new
victims
within
the
last
ten
days
had
to
be
inscribed
on
the
register
of
those
who
died
during
this
fatal
voyage
!
Ah
!
fortune
had
favoured
us
up
to
the
hour
when
the
Halbrane
was
snatched
from
her
own
element
,
but
her
hand
was
now
against
us
.
And
was
not
this
last
the
worst
blow
—
must
it
not
prove
the
stroke
of
death
?
The
silence
was
broken
by
a
tumult
of
despairing
voices
,
whose
despair
was
justified
indeed
by
this
irreparable
misfortune
!
And
I
am
sure
that
more
than
one
thought
it
would
have
been
better
to
have
been
on
the
Halbrane
as
she
rebounded
off
the
side
of
the
iceberg
!
Everything
would
have
been
over
then
,
as
all
was
over
with
Rogers
and
Gratian
!
This
foolish
expedition
would
thus
have
come
to
a
conclusion
worthy
of
such
rashness
and
imprudence
!
At
last
,
the
instinct
of
self
-
preservation
triumphed
,
and
except
Hearne
,
who
stood
some
distance
off
and
affected
silence
,
all
the
men
shouted
:
“
To
the
boat
!
to
the
boat
!
”
These
unfortunate
fellows
were
out
of
their
mind
.
Terror
led
them
astray
.
They
rushed
towards
the
crag
where
our
one
boat
(
which
could
not
hold
them
all
)
had
been
sheltered
during
the
unloading
of
the
schooner
.
Captain
Len
Guy
and
Jem
West
rushed
after
them
.
I
joined
them
immediately
,
followed
by
the
boatswain
.
We
were
armed
,
and
resolved
to
make
use
of
our
arms
.
We
had
to
prevent
these
furious
men
from
seizing
the
boat
,
which
did
not
belong
to
a
few
,
but
to
all
!
