Why did they take to flight? Why did they appear incapable of defending themselves against this one beast? The animal was white, and the sight of it had produced the phenomenon previously observed, that inexplicable terror of whiteness common to all the natives of Tsalal. To their extreme surprise, William Guy and hie companions recognized the strange animal as the dog Tiger. Yes!
It is not impossible that "Tsalal," the appellation of the island of the chasms, may be found, upon minute philological scrutiny, to betray either some alliance with the chasms themselves, or some reference to the Ethiopian characters so mysteriously written in their windings. "I have graven it within the hills, and my vengeance upon the dust within the rock."
This was the reason why the greater part of the Tsalal islanders took to flight, headed by their chief, Too-Wit, and the Wampos, who are the leading personages of Klock-Klock. It was under these extraordinary circumstances that they abandoned their island, whither they were destined never to return.
If Arthur Pym is to be believed, this was Tsalal Island! Its trees resembled none of the species in any other zone of our planet. The composition of the rocks revealed a stratification unknown to modern mineralogists.
They procured fire by rubbing pieces of soft against pieces of hard wood; there was a quantity of both within their reach. After a whole week of this confinement, Arthur Pym and the half-breed had succeeded, as we know, in leaving their hiding-place, securing a boat, and abandoning Tsalal Island, but William Guy and his companions had not yet found an opportunity to escape.
I felt I had not done all I ought to do for our unhappy fellow-countrymen: but I knew that the majority of the crew would be against me if I insisted on going beyond Tsalal Island.” “That is true, captain; there was a beginning of indiscipline on board, and perhaps it might have ended in a revolt.”
“Dirk Peters,” I asked, “have you any idea of the route which you and Arthur Pym followed in the boat after your departure from Tsalal Island?” “None, sir! Poor Pym had no longer any instrument you know sea machines for looking at the sun. We could not know, except that for the eight days the current pushed us towards the south, and the wind also.
Conclusions such as these open a wide field for speculation and exciting conjecture. They should be regarded, perhaps, in connection with some of the most faintly detailed incidents of the narrative; although in no visible manner is this chain of connection complete. Tekeli-li! was the cry of the affrighted natives of Tsalal upon discovering the carcase of the white animal picked up at sea.
The half-breed got into it, and a south wind yes, south, very strong, the same that had driven the ice block, with the cross current, towards Tsalal Island carried him on for weeks and weeks to the iceberg barrier, through a passage in it you may believe me, I am telling you only what Dirk Peters told me and he cleared the polar circle.” “And beyond it?” I inquired. “Beyond it.
Jeorling, whether you think everything in Arthur Pym’s journal, which has been published by Edgar Poe, is exactly true?” “I think there is some need for doubt,” I answered “the singular character of the hero of those adventures being taken into consideration at least concerning the phenomena of the island of Tsalal.
