“Provided that the east wind lasts, Mr. Jeorling. Don’t forget that in sailing along the icebergs to their eastern extremity, the Halbrane went out of her course, and she must be brought back towards the west.” “The breeze is for us, captain.” “And we shall profit by it, for my intention is to make for Bennet Islet.
“If ever any venture to come so far south, captain! We have penetrated so far, thanks to the help of particular circumstances, the earliness of the summer season, an abnormal temperature and a rapid thaw. Such conditions may only occur once in twenty or fifty years!” “Wherefore, Mr. Jeorling, I thank Providence for this, and hope revives in me to some extent.
His companions and he may have been able to land on an island, or even on a continent, and that is a sufficient motive for us to pursue our search.” “No doubt but all are not of your opinion,” replied Hurliguerly, shaking his head. “I know,” said I, “and that is what makes me most anxious. Is the ill-feeling increasing?” “I fear so, Mr. Jeorling.
They have been seen so far as the eighty-fourth degree of latitude ” “And who knows,” said I, “perhaps beyond that, by Arthur Pym.” “Perhaps, Mr. Jeorling. It is true that we have not to trouble ourselves about Arthur Pym, since he, at least, and Dirk Peters also, returned to America.” “But supposing he did not return?”
“I don’t mean to contradict,” replied the boatswain, “but you say we should have attained our object, Do you mean by that, that we should have found our countrymen?” “Perhaps.” “I can scarcely believe such would have been the case, Mr. Jeorling, although this was the principal and perhaps even the only object of our navigation in the polarseas.”
“That it is not permitted to us to venture so farin these latitudes, and I believe that the Creator forbids His creatures to climb to the summit of the poles.” “Notwithstanding that the summit of one pole is only sixty miles away from us now.” “Granted, Mr. Jeorling, but these sixty miles are equal to thousands when we have no means of making them!
All the navigators of the austral seas have been able to ascertain, as I myself have done, the permanence of this wind.” “That is true, and I rejoice in the assurance, captain. Besides, I acknowledge, without shrinking from the admission, that I am beginning to be superstitious.” “And why not, Mr. Jeorling?
“Arthur Pym was right,” I said, interrupting him quickly, “and as for me, I do not wish to know Parker’s real name. Keep this secret.” “No, I will tell it to you. It weighs too heavily on me, and I shall be relieved, perhaps, when I have told you, Mr. Jeorling.” “No, Dirk Peters, no!” “His name was Holt Ned Holt.” “Holt!” I exclaimed, “the same name as our sailing-master’s.”
One morning it was the 27th of August I was roused out of my bed by the rough voice of the innkeeper and the tremendous thumps he gave my door. “Mr. Jeorling, are you awake?” “Of course I am, Atkins. How should I be otherwise, with all that noise going on? What’s up?” “A ship six miles out in the offing, to the nor’east, steering for Christmas!” “Will it be the Halbrane?”
A plan of campaign to organize, in which nothing must be unforeseen or unprovided for. I beg you not to be displeased with me ” “I am not, I assure you.” “That is all right, Mr. Jeorling; and now that I know you, that I am able to appreciate you, I congratulate myself upon having you for a passenger until our arrival at the Falklands.”
