Only, the ragged sail flapped a little, and one on each side two ice-floes sluggishly bombarded the bows, with hollow sounds. I was certain now that Sallitt it was who looked across the ice: but when the ship swung a little round, I noticed that the direction of his gaze was carried with her movement, he no longer looking my way.
But even as I shouted and whined, a perfect wild certainty was in my heart: for an aroma like peach, my God, had been suddenly wafted from the ship upon me, and I must have very well known then that that watchful outlook of Sallitt saw nothing, and on the Boreal were dead men all; indeed, very soon I saw one of his eyes looking like a glass eye which has slid askew, and glares distraught.
'Why, Sallitt! I shouted reproachfully: 'why, Sallitt, man...! I whined.
Besides Sallitt, looking out there where he had jammed himself, I saw no one. By a paddle-stroke now, and another presently, I had closely approached her about four in the afternoon, though my awe of the ship was complicated by that perfume of hers, whose fearful effects I knew.
And now again my wretched body failed, and my head dropped forward, where I sat, upon the kayak-deck. Well, after a long time, I lifted myself to look again at that forlorn and wandering craft. There she lay, quiet, tragic, as it were culpable of the dark secret she bore; and Sallitt, who had been such good friends with me, would not cease his stare.
Very soon I could make out someone at the bows, leaning well over, looking my way. Something put it into my head that it was Sallitt, and I began an impassioned shouting. 'Hi! Sallitt! Hallo! Hi! I called. I did not see him move: I was still a good way off: but there he stood, leaning steadily over, looking my way.
