After
an
interval
of
unfavourable
weather
,
during
which
the
Halbrane
made
but
slow
progress
,
on
the
4th
of
October
,
in
the
morning
,
the
aspect
of
the
sky
and
the
sea
underwent
a
marked
change
.
The
wind
became
calm
,
the
waves
abated
,
and
the
next
day
the
breeze
veered
to
the
north
-
west
.
This
was
very
favourable
to
us
,
and
in
ten
days
,
with
a
continuance
of
such
fortunate
conditions
,
we
might
hope
to
reach
the
Falklands
.
It
was
on
the
11th
that
the
opportunity
of
an
explanation
with
Captain
Len
Guy
was
presented
to
me
,
and
by
himself
,
for
he
came
out
of
his
cabin
,
advanced
to
the
side
of
the
ship
where
I
was
seated
,
and
took
his
place
at
my
side
.
Evidently
he
wished
to
talk
to
me
,
and
of
what
,
if
not
the
subject
which
entirely
absorbed
him
?
He
began
by
saying
:
“
I
have
not
yet
had
the
pleasure
of
a
chat
with
you
,
Mr
.
Jeorling
,
since
our
departure
from
Tristan
d
’
Acunha
!
”
“
To
my
regret
,
captain
,
”
I
replied
,
but
with
reserve
,
for
I
wanted
him
to
make
the
running
.
“
I
beg
you
to
excuse
me
,
”
he
resumed
,
“
I
have
so
many
things
to
occupy
me
and
make
me
anxious
.
A
plan
of
campaign
to
organize
,
in
which
nothing
must
be
unforeseen
or
unprovided
for
.
I
beg
you
not
to
be
displeased
with
me
—
”
“
I
am
not
,
I
assure
you
.
”
“
That
is
all
right
,
Mr
.
Jeorling
;
and
now
that
I
know
you
,
that
I
am
able
to
appreciate
you
,
I
congratulate
myself
upon
having
you
for
a
passenger
until
our
arrival
at
the
Falklands
.
”
“
I
am
very
grateful
,
captain
,
for
what
you
have
done
for
me
,
and
I
feel
encouraged
to
—
”
The
moment
seemed
propitious
to
my
making
my
proposal
,
when
Captain
Len
Guy
interrupted
me
.
