“
Captain
,
”
said
I
,
“
will
you
let
me
be
one
of
your
company
until
the
end
of
the
campaign
of
the
Halbrane
in
the
Antarctic
seas
?
”
Captain
Len
Guy
looked
at
me
with
a
glance
as
penetrating
as
a
keen
blade
.
Otherwise
he
did
not
appear
surprised
by
the
proposal
I
had
made
;
perhaps
he
had
been
expecting
it
—
and
he
uttered
only
the
single
word
:
“
Willingly
.
”
On
the
15th
of
October
,
our
schooner
cast
anchor
in
Port
Egmont
,
on
the
north
of
West
Falkland
.
The
group
is
composed
of
two
islands
,
one
the
above
-
named
,
the
other
Soledad
or
East
Falkland
.
Captain
Len
Guy
gave
twelve
hours
’
leave
to
the
whole
crew
.
The
next
day
the
proceedings
were
to
begin
by
a
careful
and
minute
inspection
of
the
vessel
’
s
hull
and
keel
,
in
view
of
the
contemplated
prolonged
navigation
of
the
Antarctic
seas
.
That
day
Captain
Len
Guy
went
ashore
,
to
confer
with
the
Governor
of
the
group
on
the
subject
of
the
immediate
re
-
victualling
of
the
schooner
.
He
did
not
intend
to
make
expense
a
consideration
,
because
the
whole
adventure
might
be
wrecked
by
an
unwise
economy
.
Besides
I
was
ready
to
aid
with
my
purse
,
as
I
told
him
,
and
I
intended
that
we
should
be
partners
in
the
cost
of
this
expedition
.
James
West
remained
on
board
all
day
,
according
to
his
custom
in
the
absence
of
the
captain
,
and
was
engaged
until
evening
in
the
inspection
of
the
hold
.
I
did
not
wish
to
go
ashore
until
the
next
day
.
I
should
have
ample
time
while
we
remained
in
port
to
explore
Port
Egmont
and
its
surroundings
,
and
to
study
the
geology
and
mineralogy
of
the
island
.
Hurliguerly
regarded
the
opportunity
as
highly
favourable
for
the
renewal
of
talk
with
me
,
and
availed
himself
of
it
accordingly
.
He
accosted
me
as
follows
:
“
Accept
my
sincere
compliments
,
Mr
.
Jeorling
?
”
“
And
wherefore
,
boatswain
?
”
“
On
account
of
what
I
have
just
heard
—
that
you
are
to
come
with
us
to
the
far
end
of
the
Antarctic
seas
.
”
“
Oh
!
not
so
far
,
I
imagine
,
and
if
it
is
not
a
matter
of
going
beyond
the
eighty
-
fourth
parallel
—
”
