Stran 77 - He goes on to say, in his report, " I watched for an hour to see if the sun in his decline would change the colour of the object : it remained the same, with a white cloud above, similar to that hovering over high land. At sunset the appearance remained the same. I took the bearings accurately, intending to examine it closely as soon as we got a breeze. I am thoroughly of opinion it is an island surrounded by immense fields of ice.
Stran 1 - I flatter myself that the intention of the voyage has, in every respect, been fully answered ; the southern hemisphere sufficiently explored ; and a final end put to the searching after a southern continent, which has, at times, engrossed the attention of some of the maritime powers for near two centuries past, and been a favourite theory amongst the geographers of all ages.
Stran 2 - That there may be a continent, or large tract of land, near the Pole, I will not deny; on the contrary I am of opinion there is ; and it is probable that we have seen a part of it.
Stran 1 - I HAD now made the circuit of the southern ocean in a high latitude, and traversed it in such a manner as to leave not the least room for the possibility of there being a continent, unless near the Pole, and out of the reach of navigation.
Stran 80 - E., latitude 66° 20' S.; the day was fine, and at times quite clear, with light winds. After divine service I still saw the outline of the land, unchanged in form but not so distinct as in the morning. By noon I found we were sagging on to the barrier ; the boats were lowered in consequence, and the ship towed off. The report from aloft was, "A continued barrier of ice around the bay, and no opening to be seen, having the western point of it bearing to the northward of west of us.
Stran 88 - I can account in no other manner than by supposing them to be attached to a rocky islet, which formed a nucleus to which they adhered. It was quite obvious that they had not been formed in the place where they were seen, and must, therefore, have grounded, after being adrift. On the...
Stran 96 - E., and latitude 64° 49' S. On the 8th, at daylight, we again made sail to the southward, and found at 4 AM the field of ice had stopped our progress, and the weather was thick. Land was no longer seen to the south, a deep bay apparently making in. We continued our course to the westward along the barrier, until 8 PM, when we were again brought to.
Stran 63 - ... in our ships to prevent us from sinking? How we intended to keep ourselves warm? What kind of antiscorbutic we were to use? and where were our great ice-saws? To all of these questions I was obliged to answer, to their great apparent surprise, that we had none, and to agree with them that we were unwise to attempt such service in ordinary cruising vessels; but we had been ordered to go, and that was enough! and go we should.
Stran 1 - I experienced at seeing rats in all directions I cannot describe. My first act was to throw on a cloak, and get at the door with the intent of leaving the building. My second thoughts were, if I did so, my desertion would cause much amusement and ruin my plan. I therefore lighted a second candle, and seating myself on my bed, kept there until three rats descending from the roof alighted on my shoulders.
Stran 43 - Besides combing their fur to clean it when wet, I have seen them preen it with their beak ^if the term may be allowed) as a duck would clean its feathers.
