“
Then
this
mass
will
melt
before
long
,
”
I
observed
,
feeling
not
a
little
surprised
that
West
had
honoured
me
by
so
lengthy
a
reply
.
”
It
must
indeed
be
dissolved
in
great
part
already
,
”
he
continued
,
“
and
what
we
see
is
the
remains
of
a
mountain
of
ice
which
must
have
weighed
millions
of
tons
.
”
Captain
Len
Guy
now
appeared
,
and
perceiving
the
group
of
sailors
around
West
,
he
came
forward
.
A
few
words
were
exchanged
in
a
low
tone
between
the
captain
and
the
lieutenant
,
and
the
latter
passed
his
glass
to
the
former
,
who
turned
it
upon
the
floating
object
,
now
at
least
a
mile
nearer
to
us
.
“
It
is
ice
,
”
said
he
,
”
and
it
is
lucky
that
it
is
dissolving
.
The
Halbrane
might
have
come
to
serious
grief
by
collision
with
it
in
the
night
.
”
I
was
struck
by
the
fixity
of
his
gaze
upon
the
object
,
whose
nature
he
had
so
promptly
declared
:
he
continued
to
contemplate
it
for
several
minutes
,
and
I
guessed
what
was
passing
in
the
mind
of
the
man
under
the
obsession
of
a
fixed
idea
.
This
fragment
of
ice
,
torn
from
the
southern
icebergs
,
came
from
those
waters
wherein
his
thoughts
continually
ranged
.
He
wanted
to
see
it
more
near
,
perhaps
at
close
quarters
,
it
might
be
to
take
away
some
bits
of
it
.
At
an
order
from
West
the
schooner
was
directed
towards
the
floating
mass
;
presently
we
were
within
two
cables
’
-
length
,
and
I
could
examine
it
.
The
mound
in
the
center
was
melting
rapidly
;
before
the
end
of
the
day
nothing
would
remain
of
the
fragment
of
ice
which
had
been
carried
by
the
currents
so
high
up
as
the
forty
-
fifth
parallel
.
Captain
Len
Guy
gazed
at
it
steadily
,
but
he
now
needed
no
glass
,
and
presently
we
all
began
to
distinguish
a
second
object
which
little
by
little
detached
itself
from
the
mass
,
according
as
the
melting
process
went
on
—
a
black
shape
,
stretched
on
the
white
ice
.
What
was
our
surprise
,
mingled
with
horror
,
when
we
saw
first
an
arm
,
then
a
leg
,
then
a
trunk
,
then
a
head
appear
,
forming
a
human
body
,
not
in
a
state
of
nakedness
,
but
clothed
in
dark
garments
.
For
a
moment
I
even
thought
that
the
limbs
moved
,
that
the
hands
were
stretched
towards
us
.
