There
was
nothing
for
it
but
to
go
down
to
the
shore
again
,
to
carry
the
tents
to
the
beach
,
and
take
measures
in
view
of
a
winter
sojourn
under
the
terrible
conditions
imposed
upon
us
by
circumstances
.
On
our
return
to
the
coast
the
boatswain
discovered
several
caverns
in
the
granitic
cliffs
,
sufficiently
spacious
to
house
us
all
and
afford
storage
for
the
cargo
of
the
Halbrane
.
Whatever
might
be
our
ultimate
decision
,
we
could
not
do
better
than
place
our
material
and
install
ourselves
in
this
opportune
shelter
.
After
we
had
reascended
the
slopes
of
the
iceberg
and
reached
our
camp
,
Captain
Len
Guy
had
the
men
mustered
.
The
only
missing
man
was
Dirk
Peters
,
who
had
decidedly
isolated
himself
from
the
crew
.
There
was
nothing
to
fear
from
him
,
however
;
he
would
be
with
the
faithful
against
the
mutinous
,
and
under
all
circumstances
we
might
count
upon
him
.
When
the
circle
had
been
formed
,
Captain
Len
Guy
spoke
,
without
allowing
any
sign
of
discouragement
to
appear
,
and
explained
the
position
with
the
utmost
frankness
and
lucidity
,
stating
in
the
first
place
that
it
was
absolutely
necessary
to
lower
the
cargo
to
the
coast
and
stow
it
away
in
one
of
the
caverns
.
Concerning
the
vital
question
of
food
,
he
stated
that
the
supply
of
flour
,
preserved
meat
,
and
dried
vegetables
would
suffice
for
the
winter
,
however
prolonged
,
and
on
that
of
fuel
he
was
satisfied
that
we
should
not
want
for
coal
,
provided
it
was
not
wasted
;
and
it
would
be
possible
to
economize
it
,
as
the
hibernating
waifs
might
brave
the
cold
of
the
polar
zone
under
a
covering
of
snow
and
a
roof
of
ice
.
Was
the
captain
’
s
tone
of
security
feigned
?
I
did
not
think
so
,
especially
as
West
approved
of
what
he
said
.
A
third
question
raised
by
Hearne
remained
,
and
was
well
calculated
to
arouse
jealousy
and
anger
among
the
crew
.
It
was
the
question
of
the
use
to
be
made
of
the
only
craft
remaining
to
us
.
Ought
the
boat
to
be
kept
for
the
needs
of
our
hibernation
,
or
used
to
enable
us
to
return
to
the
iceberg
barrier
?
Captain
Len
Guy
would
not
pronounce
upon
this
;
he
desired
to
postpone
the
decision
for
twenty
-
four
or
forty
-
eight
hours
.
The
boat
,
carrying
the
provisions
necessary
for
such
a
voyage
,
could
not
accommodate
more
than
eleven
or
,
at
the
outside
,
twelve
men
.
If
the
departure
of
the
boat
were
agreed
to
,
then
its
passengers
must
be
selected
by
lot
.
The
captain
proceeded
to
state
that
neither
West
,
the
boatswain
,
I
,
nor
he
would
claim
any
privilege
,
but
would
submit
to
the
fortune
of
the
lot
with
all
the
others
.
Both
Martin
Holt
and
Hardy
were
perfectly
capable
of
taking
the
boat
to
the
fishing
-
grounds
,
where
the
whalers
would
still
be
found
.
Then
,
those
to
whom
the
lot
should
fall
were
not
to
forget
their
comrades
,
left
to
winter
on
the
eighty
-
sixth
parallel
,
and
were
to
send
a
ship
to
take
them
off
at
the
return
of
summer
.
All
this
was
said
in
a
tone
as
calm
as
it
was
firm
.
I
must
do
Captain
Len
Guy
the
justice
to
say
that
he
rose
to
the
occasion
.
