CHAPTER VII.
1 AM STARTLED BY A DISCOVERY.


In this uneasy posture, despite the intense
cold, 1 continued to sleep soundly during the
greater part of the night. l was awakened
by horrid dream of some giant shape stalk
ing down the slope of ice so seize and devour
me, and sat up trembling with horror that
was not little increased by my inability to
recollect myself, and by my therefore con-
ceiving the canvas that covered me to be the
cropping of the ogre's hand over my face.
pushed the sail away and stood up, but
had instantly to sit again, my legs being ter
ribly crampcd A drink of spirits helped
me; my blood presently flowed with brisk
ness.
The moon was in the west: she hung large
red and distorted, and shed no light save her
reflection, that waved in the sea under her
like several lengths of undulating, red hot
wire.
l had no mind to lie down again. The
cold indeed was cruelty sharp, and the smoke
sped from my mouth at every breath, as
though held tobacco pipe betwixt my
teeth. got upon the ice and stepped about
it quickly, darting searching glances into
the gloom to left and right of the setting
moon; but all lay bare, bleak and black
1t seemed as if the night had only just de-
scended, SO tardy was the dawn. Outside
the slanting wall of ice that made my haven,
the swell swept past in a gurgling, bubbling,
drowning sound, dismal and CHASTITY, as
though in truth some such ogre as the mon.
ster had dreamed of lay suffocating there.
welcomed the cold coloring of the east as il
it had been ship, and watched the stars dy
ing and the frozen shore darkening to the
dim and sitting dawn behind it, against
which the outline of the cliffs ran in broken
streak of ink. The rising of the sun gave
me fresh life.
made up my mind to climb as high as ]
could, taking the oar with me to serve as a
pole, that l might view the ice and the ocean
round about, and form a judgment of the
weather by The aspect of the sky, of which
only the western part was visible from my
low strand. But first l must break my fast.
remember bitterly lamenting the lack of
means to make a fire, that might obtain a
warm meal and a hot drink, and dry my
gloves, coat and breecheS to which the damp
of the salt chung tenaciously. Had this ice
been land, though the most desolate, gloomy,
repulsive spot in the world, | had surely
found something that would burn.
| sat in the boat to eat my slender repast,
and when it was ended pulled the oar out of
the crevice, and found it would make me a
good pole to probe my way with and support
myself by up the slope The boat was now
held by the mast, which shook and found
very firm. Iput an empty beer bottle in my
pocket, meaning to see if l could fill it, if
the snow up above was sweet enough to be
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1888-03-27
I thereupon steered for the starboard Of
this rock

Having secured the boat, beat my hands
heartily upon my breast and fell to pacing a
little level of ice while | considered what I
should do. The coast-I cannot but speak of
this frozen territory as land-went in gen.
tie slope behind me to the height Of about
thirty feet; the ground was greatly broken
with rocks and powders and sharp points,
whence suspected many assures in which
the snow might not be so hard but that l
might sink deep enough to be smothered l
saw no cave nor hollow that | could make a
bedroom of. and the improved circulation of
my blood giving me spirits enough to resolve
quickly | made up my mind to use my boat
as bed
So went to work | took the oar and
damned it into such another crevice as the
mast stood in, and to it l secured the boat by
another line This moored her very safely.
There was as good promise of fair, quiet
night as | might count upon in these treacher-
GUS latitudeS; the haven in which the boat lay
was sheltered, and the water almost still and
this, | reckOned, would hold while the breeze
hung nOrtherly and the swell rolled from the
northeast spread the sail over the seats,
which served as beams for the support of
this little ceiling of canvas, and enough of it
remained to supply me with pillow and to
cover my lips. | fell to this work while
there was light, and when l had prepared
my habitation l took a bottle of ale and a
handful of victuals ashore and made my sup
per, walking briskly while ate and drank.
By this time the moon was up; but the rocks
hid the side of the sea she rode over, and her
face was not to be viewed from where | was
until she had marched two-t thirds of her path
TO the meridian.
After a good look seward and at the hea-
vcns to satisfy myself on the subject of the
weather, ana after a careful inspection of
the mooringS of the boat, entered her, feel
ing very sure that if sea set in from the
west or south and tumbled her, the motion
would quickly arouse me; and getting under
the roof of sail, with my legs along the bot
tom and my back against the stem, which 1
had bolstered with the slack of the canvas, l
commended myself to God, folded my arms,
and went to sleep.

CHAPTER VI.
AN ISLAND OF ICE.

l had to approach the coast within two
miles before | could satisfy my mind of its
nature, and then all doubt left me.
1t was ice!-a mighty crescent of it, as was
now in measure gatherable, floating upon
the dark blue waters like the new moon upon
the field of the sky.
You cannot conceive how shocking to me
was the appearance of that great cleaning
length of white desolation.
Should l steer north and seek to go clear Of
ita Somehow, the presence of this similitude
of land made the sea appear as enormous as
space itself. While it was all clear horizon,
the immensely of the deep was in measure
limited to the vision by its cincture. But
this ice line gave the eye something to meas
ure with, and when looked at those leagues
Of frozea shore my spirits sank into deepest
detection at the thought of the vastness of
the waters in whose heart l fioated in my
little boat
However, | resolved at last to land if land
ing was possible. could stretch my limbs,
recruit myself by exercise, and might even
make shift to obtain nights rest. l stood
in desperate need of sleep, but there was no
repose to be had in the boat. burst not lie
down in her; if nature overcame me and

to find the boat capsized and myself drown
mig. This consideration resolved me, and by
this time being within half a mile of the
coast, ran my eye carefully along it to OBJ
serve safe nook Tor my boat to enter and
myself to land in.
Though for a great distance, as l have
said, the front of the cliff, and where it was
highest, too, was sheer fall, coming like the
side of house to the water, that part of the
island toward which my boats head was
pointed sloped down and continued in low
shore, with hummocks of ice upon it at irreg-
ular intervals, to where it died out in the
northeast.
Very happily, had insensibly steered for
perhaps the safest spot that l could have
lighted on. This was formed of a large pro-
lection of rock, standing aslant, so that
the swell rolled past it without break
ing. The rock made a sort of cove, toward
which l sailed in full confidence that the
water there would be smooth Nor was de,
ceived, for l saw that the rock acted as a
breakwater, whose still influence was felt a

His eyes were fixed; they resembled glass
painted as eyes, the colors faded. He had
broad belt round his waist, and the hilt of a
kind of cutlass peeped from under his cloak;
otherwise he was unarmed. l thought he
breathed, and seemed to see movement in
his breast, and 1 took him by the shoulder,
but in the hurry of my feelings l exerted
more strength than l was sensible of. l
pushed him with the violence of sudden
trepidation; my hand slipped off his shoulder,
and he fell on his side, exactly as a statue
would, preserving his posture as though, like
a statue, he had been chiseled out of marble
or stone.
l started back frightened by his fall, in
which my fears found a sort of life; but it
was soon clear to me his rigidity was that of
man frozen to death. His very hair and
beard stood stiff, as before, as though they
were some exquisite counterfeit in ebony.
Perfectly satisfied that he was dead, stepped
round to the other side of him and set him
up as | had found him. He was as heavy as
if he had been alive, and when l put his back
to the rock his posture was exactly as it had
been-that of one deeply meditating.
Who had this man been in lifel How had
he fallen into this pass3 How long had he
been dead there, seated as I saw him'

CHAPTER VIII.
THE FROZEN SCHOONER

found myself on the summit of a kind of
table land; vast bodies of ice, every block
weighing hundreds and perhaps thousands
of tons, lay scattered over it, yet for the
space of mile or so the character was that of
flatness. Southwark the range went upward
to a coastal front of some hundred feet, with
a huddle of peaks and strange confgurations
behind soaring to an elevation from the sea
line of two or three hundred feet. North
ward the range sloped gradually, with such a
shelving of its hinder part that could catch
a glimpse of little space of the blue sea that
way. From this perceived that whatever
thickness and surface of ice lay southwark,
in the north it was attenuated to the shape
of wedge, so that its extreme breadth
where it projected its cape or extremity
would not exceed a musket shot
Being on the top of the range now, could
plainly hear the noises of the splitting and
Internal commissions of this vast formation.
The sounds are not describable. 1t was i'm
possible to fix the direction of these sounds
tine island was full of them, and always sui
lenly booming upon the breeze was the voice
of the ocean swell bursting in foam against
the ice coast that confronted it.
You may talk of the solitude of Selkirk;
but surely the spirit of loneliness in him
could not rival the unutterable emotion of
solitariness that filed my mind as sent my
gaze over those miles of frozen, stirless white
ness. He had the sight of fair pastures, of
trees making a twinkling twilight on the
sward, of grassy savannas and pleasant
slopes of hills; the air was Illuminated by
the glorious plumage of flying birds; the
bleat of goats broke the stiffness in the val
leys; there was golden regale for his eye,
and his other senses were ygratified with the

re:i Uasueu, ana then with a maj look at the
boat / started
The slope was extremely craggy. Blocks
of ice lay about, some on top of the Others,
and had sometimes to warily walk fifty or
sixty PAGES round these blocks to come at
part of the slope that was smooth.
l had come to stand to fetch breath,
and was moving on afresh, when, having
taken not half a dozen steps, Ispied the figure
of a man. He was in a sitting posture, his
back against rock that had concealed him.
His head was bowed, and his knees drawn
up to a level with his chin, and his naked
hands were clasped upon his legs. His atti-
tude was that of person lost in thought
very easy and calm.
| ST ped aS if | had been shot through the
heart. Had it been bear or sea lion, or
any creature which my mind could instantly
have associated with this white and stirless
desolation | might have been startled indeed;
but no such amazement could have possessed
me as | now felt. 1t never entered into my
head to doubt that he was alive, SO natural
was his attitude, as of ore lost in a mood Of
tender melancholy.
/ stood staring at him, myself motionless,
for some minutes, too greatly astonished and
thunderstruck to note more than that he was
a man. Then looked about me to see If
he had companions or for some signs of
habitation, but the ice was everywhere
naked | fixed my eyes on him again. His
hair was above foot long, black as ink,
and the blacker may be for the contrast of
the snow His beard and mustache, which
were also of this raven hue, fell to his girdle.
He wore great yellow Tapping hat, such as
was in fashion among the Spaniards and
buccaneers of the South sea; but over his
ears for the warmth of the protection, were
squares of flannel tied under his beard by a
very fine red silk handkerchief; and this,
with his hair and pale cheeks and black
shaggy eyebrows, gave him terrible and
CHASTITY appearance. From his shoulders
hung rich thick cloak, lined with red, and
the legs to the height of the knees were in
cased in large boots.
1 continued surveying him with my heart
beating fast. Every instant expected to see
him turn his head and start to behold me.
l coughed loudly, holding my pole in readi-
ness for whatever might befall, but he did
not stir; then holloaed, and was answered
by the echoes of my own voice among the
rocks His stiffness persuaded me he was in
one of those deep slumbers which fall upon
man in frozen places; for 1 could not per-
shade myself he was dead, so living was his
posture.
This will not do thought l so l went
close to him and peel ID into his face
