West
came
up
to
us
.
“
What
do
you
think
of
the
sky
?
”
“
I
do
not
think
well
of
it
.
We
must
be
ready
for
anything
and
everything
,
captain
.
”
“
Has
not
the
look
-
out
given
warning
of
the
first
drifting
ice
?
”
I
asked
.
“
Yes
,
”
replied
Captain
Len
Guy
,
“
and
if
we
get
near
the
icebergs
the
damage
will
not
be
to
them
.
Therefore
,
if
prudence
demands
that
we
should
go
either
to
the
east
or
to
the
west
,
we
shall
resign
ourselves
,
but
only
in
case
of
absolute
necessity
.
”
The
watch
had
made
no
mistake
.
In
the
afternoon
we
sighted
masses
,
islets
they
might
be
called
,
of
ice
,
drifting
slowly
southward
,
but
these
were
not
yet
of
considerable
extent
or
altitude
.
These
packs
were
easy
to
avoid
;
they
could
not
interfere
with
the
sailing
of
the
Halbrane
.
But
,
although
the
wind
had
hitherto
permitted
her
to
keep
on
her
course
,
she
was
not
advancing
,
and
it
was
exceedingly
disagreeable
to
be
rolling
about
in
a
rough
and
hollow
sea
which
struck
our
ship
’
s
sides
most
unpleasantly
.
About
two
o
’
clock
it
was
blowing
a
hurricane
from
all
the
points
of
the
compass
.
The
schooner
was
terribly
knocked
about
,
and
the
boatswain
had
the
deck
cleared
of
everything
that
was
movable
by
her
rolling
and
pitching
.
Fortunately
,
the
cargo
could
not
be
displaced
,
the
stowage
having
been
effected
with
perfect
forecast
of
nautical
eventualities
.
We
had
not
to
dread
the
fate
of
the
Grampus
,
which
was
lost
owing
to
negligence
in
her
lading
.
It
will
be
remembered
that
the
brig
turned
bottom
upwards
,
and
that
Arthur
Pym
and
Dirk
Peters
remained
for
several
days
crouching
on
its
keel
.
Besides
,
the
schooner
’
s
pumps
did
not
give
a
drop
of
water
;
the
ship
was
perfectly
sound
in
every
part
,
owing
to
the
efficient
repairs
that
had
been
done
during
our
stay
at
the
Falklands
.
The
temperature
had
fallen
rapidly
,
and
hail
,
rain
,
and
snow
thickened
and
darkened
the
air
.
At
ten
o
’
clock
in
the
evening
—
I
must
use
this
word
,
although
the
sun
remained
always
above
the
horizon
—
the
tempest
increased
,
and
the
captain
and
his
lieutenant
,
almost
unable
to
hear
each
other
’
s
voices
amid
the
elemental
strife
,
communicated
mostly
by
gestures
,
which
is
as
good
a
mode
as
speech
between
sailors
.
I
could
not
make
up
my
mind
to
retire
to
my
cabin
,
and
,
seeking
the
shelter
of
the
roundhouse
,
I
remained
on
deck
,
observing
the
weather
phenomena
,
and
the
skill
,
certainty
,
celerity
,
and
effect
with
which
the
crew
carried
out
the
orders
of
the
captain
and
West
.
It
was
a
strange
and
terrible
experience
for
a
landsman
,
even
one
who
had
seen
so
much
of
the
sea
and
seamanship
as
I
had
.
