sound among the shrouds, and the shrouds
bent inwards, as though unseen bands Of
heavy footed men were ascending them.
1t was a dark night, yet not so dark but
that we could see the lofty icebergs by
which we were surrounded, looming up
like spectres through the gloom. We
were tossing about on the waters Of the
Arctic Ocean, and subjected to heavy
sea and gale of wind, our position was a
dangerous one. We had already begun
to prepare RATS, and to hoist our chests
on deck expecting every moment that the
ship would be stove by the ice. Heavy
masses were continually crushing against
the bows, and thanlering under the couu-
ter causing the vessel to shake and qulvcr
from stem to stern, as though every TIM
Der was about to give way. At times the
eoncussion would be so severe the men
would he thrown off their feet, and tum-
