Life
on
board
was
very
regular
,
very
simple
,
and
its
monotony
was
not
without
a
certain
charm
.
Sailing
is
repose
in
movement
,
a
rocking
in
a
dream
,
and
I
did
not
dislike
my
isolation
.
Of
course
I
should
have
liked
to
find
out
why
Captain
Len
Guy
had
changed
his
mind
with
respect
to
me
;
but
how
was
this
to
be
done
?
To
question
the
lieutenant
would
have
been
loss
of
time
.
Besides
,
was
he
in
possession
of
the
secrets
of
his
chief
?
It
was
no
part
of
his
business
to
be
so
,
and
I
had
observed
that
he
did
not
occupy
himself
with
anything
outside
of
it
.
Not
ten
words
were
exchanged
between
him
and
me
during
the
two
meals
which
we
took
in
common
daily
.
I
must
acknowledge
,
however
,
that
I
frequently
caught
the
captain
’
s
eyes
fixed
upon
me
,
as
though
he
longed
to
question
me
,
as
though
he
had
something
to
learn
from
me
,
whereas
it
was
I
,
on
the
contrary
,
who
had
something
to
learn
from
him
.
But
we
were
both
silent
.
Had
I
felt
the
need
of
talking
to
somebody
very
strongly
,
I
might
have
resorted
to
the
boatswain
,
who
was
always
disposed
to
chatter
;
but
what
had
he
to
say
that
could
interest
me
?
He
never
failed
to
bid
me
good
morning
and
good
evening
in
most
prolix
fashion
,
but
beyond
these
courtesies
I
did
not
feel
disposed
to
go
.
The
good
weather
lasted
,
and
on
the
18th
of
August
,
in
the
afternoon
,
the
look
-
out
discerned
the
mountains
of
the
Crozet
group
.
The
next
day
we
passed
Possession
Island
,
which
is
inhabited
only
in
the
fishing
season
.
At
this
period
the
only
dwellers
there
are
flocks
of
penguins
,
and
the
birds
which
whalers
call
”
white
pigeons
.
”
The
approach
to
land
is
always
interesting
at
sea
.
It
occurred
to
me
that
Captain
Len
Guy
might
take
this
opportunity
of
speaking
to
his
passenger
;
but
he
did
not
.
We
should
see
land
,
that
is
to
say
the
peaks
of
Marion
and
Prince
Edward
Islands
,
before
arriving
at
Tristan
d
’
Acunha
,
but
it
was
there
the
Halbrane
was
to
take
in
a
fresh
supply
of
water
.
I
concluded
therefore
that
the
monotony
of
our
voyage
would
continue
unbroken
to
the
end
.
But
,
on
the
morning
of
the
20th
of
August
,
to
my
extreme
surprise
,
Captain
Len
Guy
came
on
deck
,
approached
me
,
and
said
,
speaking
very
low
,
—
”
Sir
,
I
have
something
to
say
to
you
.
”
“
I
am
ready
to
hear
you
,
captain
.
”
“
I
have
not
spoken
until
to
-
day
,
for
I
am
naturally
taciturn
.
”
Here
he
hesitated
again
,
but
after
a
pause
,
continued
with
an
effort
,
—
