At
five
in
the
afternoon
,
the
iceberg
plunged
into
a
deep
rift
in
the
coast
ending
in
a
long
point
on
the
right
,
and
there
stuck
fast
.
“
On
shore
!
On
shore
!
”
burst
from
every
man
,
like
a
single
exclamation
,
and
the
men
were
already
hurrying
down
the
slope
of
the
iceberg
,
when
West
commanded
:
“
Wait
for
orders
!
”
Some
hesitation
was
shown
—
especially
on
the
part
of
Hearne
and
several
of
his
comrades
.
Then
the
instinct
of
discipline
prevailed
,
and
finally
the
whole
crew
ranged
themselves
around
Captain
Len
Guy
.
It
was
not
necessary
to
lower
the
boat
,
the
iceberg
being
in
contact
with
the
point
.
The
captain
,
the
boatswain
,
and
myself
,
preceding
the
others
,
were
the
first
to
quit
the
camp
;
ours
were
the
first
human
feet
to
tread
this
virgin
and
volcanic
soil
.
We
walked
for
twenty
minutes
on
rough
land
,
strewn
with
rocks
of
igneous
origin
,
solidified
lava
,
dusty
slag
,
and
grey
ashes
,
but
without
enough
clay
to
grow
even
the
hardiest
plants
.
With
some
risk
and
difficulty
,
Captain
Len
Guy
,
the
boatswain
,
and
I
succeeded
in
climbing
the
hill
;
this
exploit
occupied
a
whole
hour
.
Although
evening
had
now
come
,
it
brought
no
darkness
in
its
train
.
From
the
top
of
the
hill
we
could
see
over
an
extent
of
from
thirty
to
forty
miles
,
and
this
was
what
we
saw
.
Behind
us
lay
the
open
sea
,
laden
with
floating
masses
;
a
great
number
of
these
had
recently
heaped
themselves
up
against
the
beach
and
rendered
it
almost
inaccessible
.
On
the
west
was
a
strip
of
hilly
land
,
which
extended
beyond
our
sight
,
and
was
washed
on
its
east
side
by
a
boundless
sea
.
It
was
evident
that
we
had
been
carried
by
the
drift
through
a
strait
.
Ah
!
if
we
had
only
had
our
Halbrane
!
But
our
sole
possession
was
a
frail
craft
barely
capable
of
containing
a
dozen
men
,
and
we
were
twenty
-
three
!
