Now
the
faithful
half
-
breed
rests
under
the
clay
of
the
Land
of
the
Antarctic
Mystery
,
by
the
side
of
his
“
poor
Pym
,
”
that
hero
whose
strange
adventures
found
a
chronicler
no
less
strange
in
the
great
American
poet
!
That
same
day
,
in
the
afternoon
,
the
Paracuta
departed
from
the
coast
of
the
Land
of
the
Sphinx
,
which
had
lain
to
the
west
of
us
since
the
21st
of
February
.
By
the
death
of
Dirk
Peters
the
number
of
the
passengers
was
reduced
to
twelve
.
These
were
all
who
remained
of
the
double
crew
of
the
two
schooners
,
the
first
comprising
thirty
-
eight
men
,
the
second
,
thirty
-
two
;
in
all
seventy
souls
.
But
let
it
not
be
forgotten
that
the
voyage
of
the
Halbrane
had
been
undertaken
in
fulfillment
of
a
duty
to
humanity
,
and
four
of
the
survivors
of
the
Jane
owed
their
rescue
to
it
.
And
now
there
remains
but
little
to
tell
,
and
that
must
be
related
as
succinctly
as
possible
.
It
is
unnecessary
to
dwell
upon
our
return
voyage
,
which
was
favoured
by
the
constancy
of
the
currents
and
the
wind
to
the
northern
course
.
The
last
part
of
the
voyage
was
accomplished
amid
great
fatigue
,
suffering
,
and
but
it
ended
in
our
safe
deliverance
from
all
these
.
Firstly
,
a
few
days
after
our
departure
from
the
Land
of
the
Sphinx
,
the
sun
set
behind
the
western
horizon
to
reappear
no
more
for
the
whole
winter
.
It
was
then
in
the
midst
of
the
semi
-
darkness
of
the
austral
night
that
the
Paracuta
pursued
her
monotonous
course
.
True
,
the
southern
polar
lights
were
frequently
visible
;
but
they
were
not
the
sun
,
that
single
orb
of
day
which
had
illumined
our
horizons
during
the
months
of
the
Antarctic
summer
,
and
their
capricious
splendour
could
not
replace
his
unchanging
light
.
That
long
darkness
of
the
poles
sheds
a
moral
and
physical
influence
on
mortals
which
no
one
can
elude
,
a
gloomy
and
overwhelming
impression
almost
impossible
to
resist
.
Of
all
the
Paracuta
’
s
passengers
,
the
boatswain
and
Endicott
only
preserved
their
habitual
good
-
humour
;
those
two
were
equally
insensible
to
the
weariness
and
the
peril
of
our
voyage
.
I
also
except
West
,
who
was
ever
ready
to
face
every
eventuality
,
like
a
man
who
is
always
on
the
defensive
.
As
for
the
two
brothers
Guy
,
their
happiness
in
being
restored
to
each
other
made
them
frequently
oblivious
of
the
anxieties
and
risks
of
the
future
.
Of
Hurliguerly
I
cannot
speak
too
highly
.
He
proved
himself
a
thoroughly
good
fellow
,
and
it
raised
our
drooping
spirits
to
hear
him
repeat
in
his
jolly
voice
,
—
“
We
shall
get
to
port
all
right
,
my
friends
,
be
sure
of
that
.
And
,
if
you
only
reckon
things
up
,
you
will
see
that
we
have
had
more
good
luck
than
bad
.
Oh
,
yes
,
I
know
,
there
was
the
loss
of
our
schooner
!
Poor
Halbrane
,
carried
up
into
the
air
like
a
balloon
,
then
flung
into
the
deep
like
an
avalanche
!
But
,
on
the
other
hand
,
there
was
the
iceberg
which
brought
us
to
the
coast
,
and
the
Tsalal
boat
which
brought
us
and
Captain
William
Guy
and
his
three
companions
together
.
And
don
’
t
forget
the
current
and
the
breeze
that
have
pushed
us
on
up
to
now
,
and
will
keep
pushing
us
on
,
I
’
m
sure
of
that
.
With
so
many
trumps
in
our
hand
we
cannot
possibly
lose
the
game
.
The
only
thing
to
be
regretted
is
that
we
shall
have
to
get
ashore
again
in
Australia
or
New
Zealand
,
instead
of
casting
anchor
at
the
Kerguelens
,
near
the
quay
of
Christmas
Harbour
,
in
front
of
the
Green
Cormorant
.
