And
here
was
a
sane
man
treating
that
fiction
as
a
reality
.
I
could
not
answer
him
.
I
was
asking
myself
what
manner
of
man
was
this
one
with
whom
I
had
to
deal
.
“
You
have
heard
my
question
?
”
persisted
the
captain
.
“
Yes
,
yes
,
captain
,
certainly
,
but
I
am
not
sure
that
I
quite
understand
.
”
“
I
will
put
it
to
you
more
plainly
.
I
ask
you
whether
in
Connecticut
you
personally
knew
the
Pym
family
who
lived
in
Nantucket
Island
?
Arthur
Pym
’
s
father
was
one
of
the
principal
merchants
there
,
he
was
a
Navy
contractor
.
It
was
his
son
who
embarked
in
the
adventures
which
he
related
with
his
own
lips
to
Edgar
Poe
—
”
“
Captain
!
Why
,
that
story
is
due
to
the
powerful
imagination
of
our
great
poet
.
It
is
a
pure
invention
.
”
“
So
,
then
,
you
don
’
t
believe
it
,
Mr
.
Jeorling
?
”
said
the
captain
,
shrugging
his
shoulders
three
times
.
“
Neither
I
nor
any
other
person
believes
it
,
Captain
Guy
,
and
you
are
the
first
I
have
heard
maintain
that
it
was
anything
but
a
mere
romance
.
”
“
Listen
to
me
,
then
,
Mr
.
Jeorling
,
for
although
this
‘
romance
’
—
as
you
call
it
—
appeared
only
last
year
,
it
is
none
the
less
a
reality
.
Although
eleven
years
have
elapsed
since
the
facts
occurred
,
they
are
none
the
less
true
,
and
we
still
await
the
‘
word
’
of
an
enigma
which
will
perhaps
never
be
solved
.
”
Yes
,
he
was
mad
;
but
by
good
fortune
West
was
there
to
take
his
place
as
commander
of
the
schooner
.
I
had
only
to
listen
to
him
,
and
as
I
had
read
Poe
’
s
romance
over
and
over
again
,
I
was
curious
to
hear
what
the
captain
had
to
say
about
it
.
