Nares and I began operations by tossing up pell-mell through the companion, and piling in a squalid heap about the wheel, all clothes, personal effects, the crockery, the carpet, stale victuals, tins of meat, and, in a word, all movables from the main cabin. Thence we transferred our attention to the captain's quarters on the starboard side.
Parker speaks of a gunbreech bolt which was removed from the nose after five years' lodgment. Major mentions the removal of a foreign body from the nose seven years after its introduction. Howard removed a large thimble from the posterior nares, although it had remained in its position for some time undetected. Eve reports a case in which a thimble was impacted in the right posterior nares.
"I'll see what there is to eat downstairs," said Kemp. "Not much, I'm afraid." After he had done eating, and he made a heavy meal, the Invisible Man demanded a cigar. He bit the end savagely before Kemp could find a knife, and cursed when the outer leaf loosened. It was strange to see him smoking; his mouth, and throat, pharynx and nares, became visible as a sort of whirling smoke cast.
Two screw-steamers, the Alert of 751 tons, and the Discovery of 668 tons, being strengthened by every means science could devise for resisting the Polar ice, were fitted out, and Captain Nares was selected to command the expedition. Commander Markham, who had considerable experience, was appointed to act under him on board the Alert.
The diphtheritic process may spread from the pharynx to the nasal cavities, causing blocking of the nares, with a profuse ichorous discharge from the nostrils, and sometimes severe epistaxis. The infection may spread along the nasal duct to the conjunctiva. The lymph glands behind the angle of the jaw enlarge and become tender, and may suppurate from superadded infection.
The device is of little service in a country where watches are reliable; but it formed part of the equipment of the North Polar expedition commanded by Captain Nares. Wheatstone's remarkable ingenuity was displayed in the invention of cyphers which have never been unravelled, and interpreting cypher manuscripts in the British Museum which had defied the experts.
"And how have you fared?" inquired the captain, whom I found luxuriously reclining in our mound of litter. And the accent on the pronoun, the heightened colour of the speaker's face, and the contained excitement in his tones, advertised me at once that I had not been alone to make discoveries. Nares seemed to take it mighty quietly. "That so?" said he.
I imagined she had always intended me a pleasant welcome; but the certain fervour of sincerity, which I could not help remarking, flowed from an unexpected source. Captain Nares, with a kindness for which I can never be sufficiently grateful, had stolen a moment from his occupations, driven to call on Mamie, and drawn her a generous picture of my prowess at the wreck.
Perhaps "by a" is a correction for "to a." A head-covering worn by women. To be "in the suds" was an expression for to be "in the dumps." Vid. Regals were a kind of small portable organ: vide Nares. The Theorbo was a kind of lute.
"You're the man I dreamed of!" cried Jim, bouncing on the bed. "There's not five per cent. of fraud in all your carcass." "Just hold on," said Nares. "There's another point. I heard some talk about a supercargo." "That's Mr. Dodd here, my partner," said Jim. "I don't see it," returned the captain drily. "One captain's enough for any ship that ever I was aboard."
