“
And
you
want
to
get
back
to
your
own
country
,
which
is
mine
,
Mr
.
Jeorling
;
to
return
to
Connecticut
,
to
Providence
,
our
capital
.
”
“
Doubtless
,
Mr
.
Atkins
,
for
I
have
been
a
globe
-
trotter
for
close
upon
three
years
.
One
must
come
to
a
stop
and
take
root
at
some
time
.
”
“
Yes
,
and
when
one
has
taken
root
,
one
puts
out
branches
.
”
“
Just
so
,
Mr
.
Atkins
.
However
,
as
I
have
no
relations
living
,
it
is
likely
that
I
shall
be
the
last
of
my
line
.
I
am
not
likely
to
take
a
fancy
for
marrying
at
forty
.
”
“
Well
,
well
,
that
is
a
matter
of
taste
.
Fifteen
years
ago
I
settled
down
comfortably
at
Christmas
Harbour
with
my
Betsy
;
she
has
presented
me
with
ten
children
,
who
in
their
turn
will
present
me
with
grandchildren
.
”
“
You
will
not
return
to
the
old
country
?
”
“
What
should
I
do
there
,
Mr
.
Jeorling
,
and
what
could
I
ever
have
done
there
?
There
was
nothing
before
me
but
poverty
.
Here
,
on
the
contrary
,
in
these
Islands
of
Desolation
,
where
I
have
no
reason
to
feel
desolate
,
ease
and
competence
have
come
to
me
and
mine
!
”
“
No
doubt
,
and
I
congratulate
you
,
Mr
.
Atkins
,
for
you
are
a
happy
man
.
Nevertheless
it
is
not
impossible
that
the
fancy
may
take
you
some
day
—
”
Mr
.
Atkins
answered
by
a
vigorous
and
convincing
shake
of
the
head
.
It
was
very
pleasant
to
hear
this
worthy
American
talk
.
He
was
completely
acclimatized
on
his
archipelago
,
and
to
the
conditions
of
life
there
.
He
lived
with
his
family
as
the
penguins
lived
in
their
rookeries
.
His
wife
was
a
“
valiant
”
woman
of
the
Scriptural
type
,
his
sons
were
strong
,
hardy
fellows
,
who
did
not
know
what
sickness
meant
.
His
business
was
prosperous
.
The
Green
Cormorant
had
the
custom
of
all
the
ships
,
whalers
and
others
,
that
put
in
at
Kerguelen
.
Atkins
supplied
them
with
everything
they
required
,
and
no
second
inn
existed
at
Christmas
Harbour
.
His
sons
were
carpenters
,
sailmakers
,
and
fishers
,
and
they
hunted
the
amphibians
in
all
the
creeks
during
the
hot
season
.
In
short
,
this
was
a
family
of
honest
folk
who
fulfilled
their
destiny
without
much
difficulty
.
