Text Appearing Before Image:
eally tis our messmate, gallant Warren. Before belaying, just a look to leeward Reveals the constellation, cook and steward ; And yet another peep along our decks. See !Thats very like a face Ive seen elsewhere,—Yes, at St. Michaels, when we anchored there. That is our hunter, which his names Alexai, And with him, like a lady loved by many. Is our young sylph-like friend. Queen Annie.* On the 5th of February the sun was seen, and a most•heering appearance it had. About this time our driftnorthwest was rapid. The snow had drifted about the shipso much that fifty or sixty yards away but little more thanthe boats smoke-stack and spars were to be seen. In mynotes I find these items: Our floe has been much reducedby recent cracks. It looks as if the Jeamiette was in herlast dock. Some people have said to me there is little dan-ger in the Arctic. They were evidently not posted. A shipin the pack is under fire all the time. ♦ Queen Annie was the nickname for Anequin, the Indian hunter.
Text Appearing After Image:
ONLY A DREAM. 303 During the early spring of 1881 nothing especial occurred.The first bird (?7. grylle^ was seen April 6th, and morebirds were seen this April than during the correspondingmonth of last year. Among them were no new species. The Arctic is very shoal in these parts. From the 21stto the 23d of this month we shoaled our water 21 fathoms,giving but 18 or 20 fathoms where we had been getting 35to 40. This was the most sudden shoaling we ever experi-enced.
