Even
though
we
approached
no
nearer
to
the
icebergs
than
prudence
permitted
,
our
ship
was
exposed
to
great
risk
,
and
West
was
constantly
obliged
to
change
his
trim
in
order
to
avoid
the
shock
of
an
icefield
.
Fortunately
,
the
wind
blew
from
east
to
north
-
nor
’
-
east
without
variation
,
and
it
did
not
freshen
.
Had
a
tempest
arisen
I
know
not
what
would
have
become
of
the
schooner
—
yes
,
though
,
I
do
know
too
well
:
she
would
have
been
lost
and
all
on
board
of
her
.
In
such
a
case
the
Halbrane
could
not
have
escaped
;
we
must
have
been
flung
on
the
base
of
the
barrier
.
After
a
long
examination
Captain
Len
Guy
had
to
renounce
the
hope
of
finding
a
passage
through
the
terrible
wall
of
ice
.
It
remained
only
to
endeavour
to
reach
the
south
-
east
point
of
it
.
At
any
rate
,
by
following
that
course
we
lost
nothing
in
latitude
;
and
,
in
fact
,
on
the
18th
the
observation
taken
made
the
seventy
-
third
parallel
the
position
of
the
Halbrane
.
I
must
repeat
,
however
,
that
navigation
in
the
Antarctic
seas
will
probably
never
be
accomplished
under
more
felicitous
circumstances
—
the
precocity
of
the
summer
season
,
the
permanence
of
the
north
wind
,
the
temperature
forty
-
nine
degrees
at
the
lowest
;
all
this
was
the
best
of
good
-
fortune
.
I
need
not
add
that
we
enjoyed
perpetual
light
,
and
the
whole
twenty
-
four
hours
round
the
sun
’
s
rays
reached
us
from
every
point
of
the
horizon
.
Two
or
three
times
the
captain
approached
within
two
miles
of
the
icebergs
.
It
was
impossible
but
that
the
vast
mass
must
have
been
subjected
to
climateric
influences
;
ruptures
must
surely
have
taken
place
at
some
points
.
But
his
search
had
no
result
,
and
we
had
to
fall
back
into
the
current
from
west
to
east
.
I
must
observe
at
this
point
that
during
all
our
search
we
never
descried
land
or
the
appearance
of
land
out
at
sea
,
as
indicated
on
the
charts
of
preceding
navigators
.
These
maps
are
incomplete
,
no
doubt
,
but
sufficiently
exact
in
their
main
lines
.
I
am
aware
that
ships
have
often
passed
over
the
indicated
bearings
of
land
.
This
,
however
,
was
not
admissible
in
the
case
of
Tsalal
.
If
the
Jane
had
been
able
to
reach
the
islands
,
it
was
because
that
portion
of
the
Antarctic
sea
was
free
,
and
in
so
“
early
”
a
year
,
we
need
not
fear
any
obstacle
in
that
direction
.
At
last
,
on
the
19th
,
between
two
and
three
o
’
clock
in
the
afternoon
,
a
shout
from
the
crow
’
s
-
nest
was
heard
.
“
What
is
it
?
”
roared
West
.
“
The
iceberg
wall
is
split
on
the
south
-
east
.
”
