On
the
3rd
,
the
brig
foundered
in
the
night
,
and
Arthur
Pym
and
the
half
-
breed
,
crouching
upon
the
upturned
keel
,
were
reduced
to
feed
upon
the
barnacles
with
which
the
bottom
was
covered
,
in
the
midst
of
a
crowd
of
waiting
,
watching
sharks
.
Finally
,
after
the
shipwrecked
mariners
of
the
Grampus
had
drifted
no
less
than
twenty
-
five
degrees
towards
the
south
,
they
were
picked
up
by
the
schooner
Jane
,
of
Liverpool
,
Captain
William
Guy
.
Evidently
,
reason
is
not
outraged
by
an
admission
of
the
reality
of
these
facts
,
although
the
situations
are
strained
to
the
utmost
limits
of
possibility
;
but
that
does
not
surprise
us
,
for
the
writer
is
the
American
magician
-
poet
,
Edgar
Poe
.
But
from
this
moment
onwards
we
shall
see
that
no
semblance
of
reality
exists
in
the
succession
of
incidents
.
Arthur
Pym
and
Dirk
Peters
were
well
treated
on
board
the
English
schooner
Jane
.
In
a
fortnight
,
having
recovered
from
the
effects
of
their
sufferings
,
they
remembered
them
no
more
.
With
alternations
of
fine
and
bad
weather
the
Jane
sighted
Prince
Edward
’
s
Island
on
the
13th
of
October
,
then
the
Crozet
Islands
,
and
afterwards
the
Kerguelens
,
which
I
had
left
eleven
days
ago
.
Three
weeks
were
employed
in
chasing
sea
-
calves
;
these
furnished
the
Jane
with
a
goodly
cargo
.
It
was
during
this
time
that
the
captain
of
the
Jane
buried
the
bottle
in
which
his
namesake
of
the
Halbrane
claimed
to
have
found
a
letter
containing
William
Guy
’
s
announcement
of
his
intention
to
visit
the
austral
seas
.
On
the
12th
of
November
,
the
schooner
left
the
Kerguelens
,
and
after
a
brief
stay
at
Tristan
d
’
Acunha
she
sailed
to
reconnoitre
the
Auroras
in
35
°
15
’
of
south
latitude
,
and
37
°
38
’
of
west
longitude
.
But
these
islands
were
not
to
be
found
,
and
she
did
not
find
them
.
On
the
12th
of
December
the
Jane
headed
towards
the
Antarctic
pole
.
On
the
26th
,
the
first
icebergs
came
in
sight
beyond
the
seventy
-
third
degree
.
From
the
1st
to
the
14th
of
January
,
1828
,
the
movements
were
difficult
,
the
polar
circle
was
passed
in
the
midst
of
ice
-
floes
,
the
icebergs
’
point
was
doubled
and
the
ship
sailed
on
the
surface
of
an
open
sea
—
the
famous
open
sea
where
the
temperature
is
47
°
Fahrenheit
,
and
the
water
is
34
°
.
Edgar
Poe
,
every
one
will
allow
,
gives
free
rein
to
his
fancy
at
this
point
.
No
navigator
had
ever
reached
latitudes
so
high
—
not
even
James
Weddell
of
the
British
Navy
,
who
did
not
get
beyond
the
seventy
-
fourth
parallel
in
1822
.
But
the
achievement
of
the
Jane
,
although
difficult
of
belief
,
is
trifling
in
comparison
with
the
succeeding
incidents
which
Arthur
Pym
,
or
rather
Edgar
Poe
,
relates
with
simple
earnestness
.
In
fact
he
entertained
no
doubt
of
reaching
the
pole
itself
.
In
the
first
place
,
not
a
single
iceberg
is
to
be
seen
on
this
fantastic
sea
.
Innumerable
flocks
of
birds
skim
its
surface
,
among
them
is
a
pelican
which
is
shot
.
On
a
floating
piece
of
ice
is
a
bear
of
the
Arctic
species
and
of
gigantic
size
.
At
last
land
is
signalled
.
It
is
an
island
of
a
league
in
circumference
,
to
which
the
name
of
Bennet
Islet
was
given
,
in
honour
of
the
captain
’
s
partner
in
the
ownership
of
the
Jane
.
