Hatteras could not bring himself to consent, but said   "And suppose the man won't allow his ship to be cut up?" "In that case, you must take the law in your own hands, and build a vessel in spite of him." "I wish to goodness he would refuse, then!" HATTERAS COULD NOT BRING HIMSELF TO CONSENT BUT SAID AND SUPPOSE THE MAN WON'T ALLOW HIS SHIP TO BE CUT UP IN THAT CASE YOU MUST TAKE THE LAW IN YOUR OWN HANDS AND BUILD A VESSEL IN SPITE OF HIM I WISH TO GOODNESS HE WOULD REFUSE THEN

"Well, Hatteras, suppose it is so, does it follow that this expedition is to search for the North Pole? May it not be to find the North-West Passage? But anyway, Altamont is in complete ignorance of our object, for neither Johnson, nor Bell, nor myself, have ever breathed a word to him about it, and I am sure you have not." "Well, let him always remain so." "He must be told in the end, for we can't leave him here alone." "Why not? Can't he stay here in Fort Providence?" "He would never consent to that, Hatteras; and, moreover, to leave a man in that way, and not know whether we might find him safe when we came back, would be worse than imprudent: it would be inhuman. Altamont will come with us; he must come. But we need not disclose our projects; let us tell him nothing, but simply build a sloop for the ostensible purpose of making a survey of the coast. HAS HE EVER AVOWED HIS OBJECT IN COMING SO FAR NORTH YOU WILL NEVER GET OUT OF MY HEAD THAT THIS MAN IS NOT THE LEADER OF SOME EXPEDITION SENT OUT BY THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT WELL HATTERAS SUPPOSE IT IS SO DOES IT FOLLOW THAT THIS EXPEDITION IS TO SEARCH FOR THE NORTH POLE MAY IT NOT BE TO FIND THE NORTH WEST PASSAGE BUT ANYWAY ALTAMONT IS IN COMPLETE IGNORANCE OF OUR OBJECT FOR NEITHER JOHNSON NOR BELL NOR MYSELF HAVE EVER BREATHED A WORD TO HIM ABOUT IT AND I AM SURE YOU HAVE NOT WELL LET HIM ALWAYS REMAIN SO HE MUST BE TOLD IN THE END FOR WE CAN'T LEAVE HIM HERE ALONE WHY NOT CAN'T HE STAY HERE IN FORT PROVIDENCE HE WOULD NEVER CONSENT TO THAT HATTERAS AND MOREOVER TO LEAVE A MAN IN THAT WAY AND NOT KNOW WHETHER WE MIGHT FIND HIM SAFE WHEN WE CAME BACK WOULD BE WORSE THAN IMPRUDENT IT WOULD BE INHUMAN ALTAMONT WILL COME WITH US HE MUST COME BUT WE NEED NOT DISCLOSE OUR PROJECTS LET US TELL HIM NOTHING BUT SIMPLY BUILD A SLOOP FOR THE OSTENSIBLE PURPOSE OF MAKING A SURVEY OF THE COAST
