This strange person was standing motionless at a little distance, gazing fixedly at the horizon. It was so unusual to hear Hunt’s voice on board the schooner, that the men, whom the unaccustomed sound reached, drew near, moved by curiosity. Did not his unexpected intervention point to I had a presentiment that it did some wonderful revelation?
He, below there, at Baltimore, had only the notes written by Pym from the day when he hid himself on board the Grampus to the very last hour the last understand me the last.” “Who, then, brought back that journal?” asked Captain Len Guy, as he seized Hunt’s hand. “It was Pym’s companion, he who loved him, his poor Pym, like a son.
At the moment of a certain difficult manoeuvre, four men had to climb to the crossbars of the fore-mast in order to reef the mainsail. The first who sprang to the ratlines was Hunt.

Reese, what’d you think ’bout Bayliss? That he’ll try to take over runnin’ the town?" "Might just," the gambler replied. "Could he do it?" "I hardly think so. What he’s really out for is Hunt’s hide.
The information gained by Captain Len Guy was necessarily incomplete, as it was confined to Hunt’s conduct during his residence at Port Egmont.
