I
had
to
yield
to
evidence
.
Captain
Len
Guy
,
who
knew
Patterson
,
had
recognized
him
in
this
frozen
corpse
!
It
was
indeed
he
who
accompanied
the
captain
of
the
Jane
when
he
had
interred
that
bottle
,
containing
the
letter
which
I
had
refused
to
believe
authentic
,
at
the
Kerguelens
.
Yes
!
for
eleven
years
,
the
survivors
of
the
English
schooner
had
been
cast
away
there
without
any
hope
of
succour
.
Len
Guy
turned
to
me
and
said
,
“
Do
you
believe
—
now
?
”
“
I
believe
,
”
said
I
,
falteringly
;
“
but
Captain
William
Guy
of
the
Jane
,
and
Captain
Len
Guy
of
the
Halbrane
—
”
“
Are
brothers
!
”
he
cried
in
a
loud
voice
,
which
was
heard
by
all
the
crew
.
Then
we
turned
our
eyes
once
more
to
the
place
where
the
lump
of
ice
had
been
floating
;
but
the
double
influence
of
the
solar
rays
and
the
waters
in
this
latitude
had
produced
its
effect
,
no
trace
of
the
dead
man
’
s
last
refuge
remained
on
the
surface
of
the
sea
.
Four
days
later
,
the
Halbrane
neared
that
curious
island
of
Tristan
d
’
Acunha
,
which
may
be
described
as
the
big
boiler
of
the
African
seas
.
By
that
time
I
had
come
to
realize
that
the
“
hallucination
”
of
Captain
Len
Guy
was
a
truth
,
and
that
he
and
the
captain
of
the
Jane
(
also
a
reality
)
were
connected
with
each
other
by
this
ocean
waif
from
the
authentic
expedition
of
Arthur
Pym
.
My
last
doubts
were
buried
in
the
depths
of
the
ocean
with
the
body
of
Patterson
.
And
now
,
what
was
Captain
Len
Guy
going
to
do
?
There
was
not
a
shadow
of
doubt
on
that
point
.
He
would
take
the
Halbrane
to
Tsalal
Island
,
as
marked
upon
Patterson
’
s
note
-
book
.
His
lieutenant
,
James
West
,
would
go
whithersoever
he
was
ordered
to
go
;
his
crew
would
not
hesitate
to
follow
him
,
and
would
not
be
stopped
by
any
fear
of
passing
the
limits
assigned
to
human
power
,
for
the
soul
of
their
captain
and
the
strength
of
their
lieutenant
would
be
in
them
.
This
,
then
,
was
the
reason
why
Captain
Len
Guy
refused
to
take
passengers
on
board
his
ship
,
and
why
he
had
told
me
that
his
routes
never
were
certain
;
he
was
always
hoping
that
an
opportunity
for
venturing
into
the
sea
of
ice
might
arise
.
Who
could
tell
indeed
,
whether
he
would
not
have
sailed
for
the
south
at
once
without
putting
in
at
Tristan
d
’
Acunha
,
if
he
had
not
wanted
water
?
After
what
I
had
said
before
I
went
on
board
the
Halbrane
,
I
should
have
had
no
right
to
insist
on
his
proceeding
to
the
island
for
the
sole
purpose
of
putting
me
ashore
.
But
a
supply
of
water
was
indispensable
,
and
besides
,
it
might
be
possible
there
to
put
the
schooner
in
a
condition
to
contend
with
the
icebergs
and
gain
the
open
sea
—
since
open
it
was
beyond
the
eighty
-
second
parallel
—
-
in
fact
to
attempt
what
Lieutenant
Wilkes
of
the
American
Navy
was
then
attempting
.
The
navigators
knew
at
this
period
,
that
from
the
middle
of
November
to
the
beginning
of
March
was
the
limit
during
which
some
success
might
be
looked
for
.
The
temperature
is
more
bearable
then
,
storms
are
less
frequent
,
the
icebergs
break
loose
from
the
mass
,
the
ice
wall
has
holes
in
it
,
and
perpetual
day
reigns
in
that
distant
region
.
