CHAPTER XXV.
THE SrnOONF.lt 1IU3E8 HKIiSKT.K.
All day long the weather remained sullen
and still, and the swell [powerful. I was on
deck at noon, looking at on iceberg half a
league distant, when it overset. It was a
small berg, though large compared with most
of the others; yet such a mighty volume of
foam boiled up as gave me a startling idea
of tlic prodigious weight of the mass. Tlio
sight made mo very anxious about my own
state; and to satisfy my mind I got upon the
ice anil walked round the vessel, and to get
a true view of her posture went to the ex¬
treme end of the rocks beyond her bow.;.; and
finally came to the conclusion that, suppos¬
ing the ice should crumble away from her
sides so as to cause the weight of the schooner
to render it top heavy, her buoyancy, on
touching the water, would certainly tear her
keel out of its frosty setting and leave her
floating. Indeed, so sure was I of this that
I saw, next to the ice splitting aud freeing
her in that way, the best thing that could
happen would be its capsizal.
I regained the ship, and had paused an in¬
stant to look over the side, when I perceived
the very block of ice on which I had come
to a halt break front the bed with a smart
clap of noise, and completely roil over. Only
a minute before had I been standing on it,"
and thus had sixty seconds stood between me
and death; for most certainly must I hat e
been drowned or killed by being beaten
against the ice by the swell! I fell upon my
knees and lifted up my bauds in gratitude to
God, feeling extraordinarily Comforted by
this further mark of Ilis care of me. aud very
strongly persuaded that he designed 1 should
come off with my life after all. since his
providence would not work so many miracles
for my preservation if I was to perish by
this adventure.
These thoughts did more for my spirits
than I can well express; and the intolerable
sense of loneliness was mitigated by the
knowledge that 1 was watched, and therefore
not alone.
The day passed I know not how. The
shadow as of a tempest hung in the air, but
never a cat's-paw did I see to blur the rolling
mirror of the ocean. The hidden sun sank
out of tiie breathless sky, tingeing the atmos¬
phere with a faint hectic, which quickly
yielded to the deepest shade of blackness.
The mysterious, desperate silence, however,
that on deck weighed oppress! voly on every
sense, as something false, menacing, and ma¬
lignant in these seas, was qualified below by
peculiar straining noises iu tlio schooner’s
hold, caused by the swinging of the ice upon
the swell. I was very uneasy; I dreaded a
gale. It was impossible but that the vessel
must quickly go to pieces in a heavy sea upon
the ice if she did • not liberate herself. But
though this excited a depression melancholy
enough, nothing else that I can recollect
contributed to it. When 1 reviewed the ap¬
prehension the Frenchman hud raised, and
reflected how insupportable a burden ho
must have become, I was very well satisfied
to lio alone. Time had fortified me; I had
passed through experiences so surprising,
encountered wonders so preternatural, that
superstition lay asleep in my soul, and I
found nothing to occasion in ino the least
uneasiness in thinking of the lifeless, shriv¬
eled figure of what was just now a fierce,
cowardly, untamed villain lying in the fore¬
castle.
I made a good supper, built up a large fire,
and mixed myself a hearty bowl of punch,
not with the view of drowning my anxieties
—God forbid! I was too grateful for the
past, too expectant of the future, to be capa¬
ble of so brutish a folly—but that I might
keep myself in a cheerful posture of mind;
when I was terrified by an extraordinary
loud explosion, that burst so near and rang
with such a prodigious clear note of thunder
through the schooner that I vow to God I
believed the gunpowder below had blown up.
And in this suspicion I honestly supposed
myself right for a moment—for on running
into the cabin I was dazzled by a crimson
flame that clothed the whole interior with a
wondrous gusli of fire; but this being in¬
stantly followed by such another clap as the
other, I understood a thunder storm had
broken over the schooner.
It was exactly overhead, and that ac¬
counted for the violence of the crashes,
which were indeed so extreme that they
sounded rather like the splitting of enormous
bodies of ice close to than the flight of elec¬
tric bolts. The hatch lay open; I ran on
deck; but scarce had passed my head through
the companion when down came a storm of
hail, every stone as big as a pigeon’s egg;
and in all my time I never heard a more hell¬
ish clamor. There was not a breath of air.
The hail fell in straight lines, which tho
fierce near lightning flashed up into the ap¬
pearance of giant harpstrings, on which the
black hand of the night was playing those
heavy notes of thunder. I sat in the shelter
of the companion, very anxious and alarmed,
for there was powder enough in the hold to
blow the ship into atoms; and the lightning
played so continuously and piercingly that it
was like a hundred darts of fire, violet, crim¬
son, and sun colored, in tho grasp of spirits
who.thrust at the sea, all over its face, with
swift movement of the arms, as though
searching for the schooner to spear her.
The hail storm ceased as suddenly as it had
burst. I stepped on to the deck, and observed
that the storm was settling into the north¬
east, whence I concluded that what draught
that might be up there sat in the southwest.
Nor was I mistaken, for half an hour after
tho first of the outburst, by which time the
lightning played weak and at long intervals
low down, and the thunder had ceased, I felt
a crawling of air coming out of the south¬
west, which presently briskened into a small,
steady blowing, but not for long. It fresh¬
ened yet and yet; the wrinkles crisped into
whiteness on the black heavings; they grew
into small surges, with sharp, cubbish snarl-
ings, preludious of the lion’s voice, and by 10
o’clock it was blowing in strong squalls, the
sea rising, and the clouds sailing swiftly in
smoke colored rags under the stars.
The posture of the ice inclined the schoon¬
er’s starboard bow to the billows, and in a
bonie very short time she was trembling in every
to the blows of the surges which rolled
boiling over the ice there and struck her,
flinging dim elondsof spume in the air, which
soon set the scuppers gushing. My case was
that of a stranded ship, with this difference
only: that a vessel ashore lies solid to the
beating of the waves, whereas the ice was
buoyant ; it rose and fell, sluggishly, it is true,
and *> somewhat mitigated the severity of
the shocks of water. But, spite of this. I was
perfectly sure that unless the bed broke un¬
der her or she slipped off it, she would be in
pieces before the morning. It was not in any
hull put together by human hands to resist
the pounding of those seas. The weight of
the mighty ocean, along whoso breast they
raced, was in them, and though the wind was
no more than a brisk gale, each billow by its
stature showed itself the child of a giantess.

The lee bed was ate a whirlpool wuu tne
leap and flash and play of the froth upon It.
Tho black air of the night was whitened ty
the storms of foam flakes which flew over tb«
vessel. The roaring of the broken waters in¬
creased the horrors of the scene. I firmly
believed my time was come. God had been
merciful, lwt I was to die now. As to mak¬
ing any shift to keep myself olive after the
ship should tie broken up, tho thought never
entered my head. What could I dot There
was uo boat. I might havo contrived some
arrangement of I looms and casks to serve as a
raft, but to what purpose? How long would
it take the wind and sea to freeze me?
I crouched in the companion way, hearken¬
ing to the uproar around, feeling the convul¬
sions of tho schooner, fully prepared for
death, dogged and hopeless.
On a sudden—in a breath—I felt the vessel
rise. She was swung up with the giddy
velocity of a hunter clearing a tall gate; sho
sank ugain, and there was a mighty concus¬
sion forward, then a pause of steadiness while
you might have counted five, then a wild up¬
ward heave, a sort of sharp floating fall, a
harsh grating along her keel and sides, as
thou ji she was being smartly warped over
rocks, followed by an unmistakable free
pitching and rolling motion.
I iiatl sprung to my feet aud stood waiting;
but the instant 1 gathered by the movements
of her that she was released I sprang like a
madman np tho companion steps. The sea,
breaking on her bow. t!e>y in heavy showers
along the deck and half blinded me. But I
was semi-delirious, aud having sat so long
with death's hand in mine, was in a passion¬
ately defiant mood, with a perfect rage of
scorn of peril in me, and I walked right onto
the forecastle, giving tho flying sheets of
water there no heed. In a minute a block of
sea tumbled upon mo and left me breath less;
tho iciness of it cooled my mind's boat, but
not my resolution. I was determined to judge
as best I could by the light of the foam of
what had happened, and holding on tena¬
ciously to whatever fame to my hand, and
progressing step by step, I got to the fore¬
castle and looked ahead.
Where tlio ice was the water tumbled in
milk; ’twas four or fiveship'slengths distant,
peered anti 1 could distinguish no more than that. I
over the lee how, but could see no ice.
Tlio vessel bad gone clear; how, I know not,
and can never know: but my own fancy is
that .she split the bed with her own weight
when the, sea rose and threw tho ico up, for
sho had flouted on a sudden, and tho noises
which attended her release indicated that she
had been forced through a channel.
I returned aft, barely escaping a second
deluge, and looked over the quarter; no ice
was there viable to mo. The vessel rolled
horribly,'rind I perceived that she had a de¬
cided list to starboard, the result of the shift¬
ing of what was in her when the ice camo
away from the main with her: and it was
this heel that brought the sea washing over
the bow. I took hold of tbfe tiller to try it,
but either the helm was frozen immovable,
or the rudder jammed in it# gudgeons, or iu
some other fashion fixed. /
Had sho been damaged below? was sho
taking in water? I knew her to be so thickly
sheathed with ice that, unless it had been
scaled off in places by the breaking of her
bed, I had little fear (until this covering
melted or dropped off by the working of the
frame) of tho hull not proving tight. I
should 'nave been coated with ice myself hail
I stayed but it little longer in my wet clothes
in that piercing wind; so I ran below, and
bringing an armful of clothes from my cabin
to the cook room, was very soon in dry at¬
tire, and making an extraordinary figure, I
don't question, in the buttons, lace, and frip¬
peries of the old fashioned garments.
Meanwhile, I was crazy to ascertain if thft
schooner was taking in water. If there was
a sounding roil in the ship I did not know
where to lay my hands upon it. But he is a
poor sailor who is slow at substitutes. There
were several spears in the arms room (pirati¬
cal plunder, no doubt) with mere spikes for
heads, like those weapons used by the Gaffers
and other tribes in that country; they were
formed of a hard heavy wood. I took a
length of ratline line and secured it to one of
these spears, and carried it on deck with the
powder room bull’s eye lamp; but when 1
probed the sounding pipe I found it full of
ice, and ns it was impossible to draw the
pumps I flung my ingenious sounding rod
down in a passion of grief and mortification.
Yet was I not to be beaten. Such was my
temper, had the devil himself confronted me
I should have defied him to do his woret, for
I had made up my mind to weather him out.
I entered tho forecastle, lantern in hand,
pried open tho hatch, and dropped into the
hold. It needed an experienced ear to detect
the sobbing of internal waters amid the
yearning gushes, tho long gurgling washings,
the thunderous blows, and shrewd rain like
hissings of the seas outside. I listened with
strained hearing for some minutes, but dis¬
tinguished no sounds to alarm me with as¬
surance of water in the hold. I could not
mistake. I hearkened with all my might,
but the noise was outside. I thanked God
very heartily, and got out of the bold and
put tho hatch on. There was no need to go
aft and listen. Tho schooner was by the
head, and there could be no water in the run
that would not be forward too.
Being reassured in respect of the stanch¬
ness of tho hull, I returned to the fire and
proceeded to equip myself for a prolonged
watch on deck. While I was drawing on a
great pair of boots I heard a knocking in tho
after part of the vessel. I supposed she had
drifted into a little field of broken ice, and
that she would go clear presently, and I fin¬
ished arming myself for the weather; but the
knocking continuing I went into the cabin,
where I heard it very plain, and walked as
far as the lazaretto hatch, where I stood lis¬
tening. The noises were a kind of irregular
thumping, accompanied by a peculiar grind¬
ing sound. In a monieat I guessed the truth,
rushed on deck, and by the dim light in tho
air saw the long tiller moving to and fro!
The beat of the beam seas had unlocked the
frozen bonds of the rudder, and there swung
tho tiller, as though like a dog the ship was
wagging her tail for joy!
The vessel lay along, rolling so as to bring
her starboard rail to a level with the sea; her
main deck was full of water, and the froth
of it, combined with the ice that glazed her,
made her look like a fabric of marble as she
swung on the black fold ere it broke into
snow about her. I seized the tiller and ran
it over hard a starboard, and I had not held
it in that posture half a minute when, to my
inexpressible delight, I observed that she was
paying off. Her head fell slowly from the
sea; she lurched drunkenly, and some tons
of black water rolled over tho bulwarks; she
reeled eonsumedly to larboard, and rose
squarelv and fionderousiy to the height of
the surge that was now abaft the beam. In
a few moments she was dead before it, the
helm amidships, tho wind blowing sheer over
the stern with half its weight seemingly gone,
brough the vessel running, the tall seas
chasing her high stern and floating it up¬
ward, till looking forward was like gazipg
down the slope of a hill.
My heart was never fuller than then. I
was half crazy with the passion of joy that
possessed me.
However, I was still in a situation that
made prodigious demands upon my coolness
and wits. The wind blew southwest, the
schooner was running northeast: the bulk of
the icebergs lay on the larboard bow, bnt
there were others right ahead, and to star-
hoard, where also lay the extremity of the
island, though I did not fear that if I could

stole out right fhead.
This I could have gone widely i 1 ,.r of by
a little shift of the helm; but whit I was In
the act of starboarding three or lour bergs
suddenly showed on the larboard bow, and 1
saw that unless I had a mind to bring the
ship into the trough again I must keep
straight on. So I steered to bring the berg
that was right ahead a little on the how, with
a prayr in my soul that there might be no
low lying block in the road for the schooner
to split upon. It wont by within a pistol shot.
I was very much accustomed to tho sight of
ice by this time, yet I found myself glancing
at this mass with pretty near as much won¬
der and awe as if I had never seen such a
thing before. It was not above thirty feet
high, but its shape was exactly that of a
horse's head—tho lips sipping the sea, the
care cocked, the neck arching to the water.
You would have said it was some vast
courser rising out of the deep. The peculiar
radiance of iee trembled off it like a luminous
mist into the dusk. Tho water boiled about
its nose, and suggested a frothing caused by
the monster steed’s expelled breath. Let a
fire have been kindled to glow red where you
looked for the eye, and the illusion would
have been frightfully grand. Half this ice
came from the island; the rest of it was
formed of bergs too tall to have ever be¬
longed to the north end of that great stretch.
It took three hours to pass clear of them, and
then I had to go on clinging to the tiller and
steering in a most melancholy, famished con¬
dition for another long half hour before I
could satisfy myself that tho sea was free.
But now I was nearly dead with the cold.
I had stood for five hours at tho helm, during
all which time my mind had been wound up
to the fiercest tension of anxiety, and my
eyes felt as if they were strained out of their
sockets by their searching of tlio gloom ahead;
and nature, having done her best, gave out
suddenly, and not to havo saved my life could
I have stood at the tiller for another ten
minutes.
The goal- along tho rail was so iron hard
that I could not seepre the helm with it, so 1
softened some lashings 1iy holding them be¬

return to be coming round to starboard, I
helped her by putting the tiiler hard a-port
