“
But
,
sir
—
”
“
No
reply
,
or
I
’
ll
keep
you
up
there
until
to
-
morrow
.
Come
—
be
off
at
once
.
”
And
as
he
would
have
got
the
worst
of
an
attempt
at
resistance
,
the
sealing
-
master
obeyed
in
silence
.
The
season
must
have
been
abnormally
advanced
,
for
although
we
continued
to
see
a
vast
number
of
testaceans
,
we
did
not
catch
sight
of
a
single
whaling
-
ship
in
all
this
fishing
-
ground
.
I
hasten
to
state
that
,
although
we
were
not
to
be
tempted
by
whales
,
no
other
fishing
was
forbidden
on
board
the
Halbrane
,
and
our
daily
bill
of
fare
profited
by
the
boatswain
’
s
trawling
lines
,
to
the
extreme
satisfaction
of
stomachs
weary
of
salt
meat
.
Our
lines
brought
us
goby
,
salmon
,
cod
,
mackerel
,
conger
,
mullet
,
and
parrot
-
fish
.
The
birds
which
we
saw
,
and
which
came
from
every
point
of
the
horizon
,
were
those
I
have
already
mentioned
,
petrels
,
divers
,
halcyons
,
and
pigeons
in
countless
flocks
.
I
also
saw
—
but
beyond
aim
—
a
giant
petrel
;
its
dimensions
were
truly
astonishing
.
This
was
one
of
those
called
“
quebrantahnesos
”
by
the
Spaniards
This
bird
of
the
Magellanian
waters
is
very
remarkable
;
its
curved
and
slender
wings
have
a
span
of
from
thirteen
to
fourteen
feet
,
equal
to
that
of
the
wings
of
the
great
albatross
.
Nor
is
the
latter
wanting
among
these
powerful
winged
creatures
;
we
saw
the
dusky
-
plumed
albatross
of
the
cold
latitudes
,
sweeping
towards
the
glacial
zone
.
On
the
30th
of
November
,
after
observation
taken
at
noon
,
it
was
found
that
we
had
reached
66
°
23
’
3
”
of
latitude
.
The
Halbrane
had
then
crossed
the
Polar
Circle
which
circumscribes
the
area
of
the
Antarctic
zone
.
Since
the
Halbrane
has
passed
beyond
the
imaginary
curve
drawn
at
twenty
-
three
and
a
half
degrees
from
the
Pole
,
it
seems
as
though
she
had
entered
a
new
region
,
“
that
region
of
Desolation
and
Silence
,
”
as
Edgar
Poe
says
;
that
magic
person
of
splendour
and
glory
in
which
the
Eleanora
’
s
singer
longed
to
be
shut
up
to
all
eternity
;
that
immense
ocean
of
light
ineffable
.
