Johnson steered, the Doctor, Bell, and the American leaned back against the cargo, and Hatteras stood at the prow, his fixed, eager gaze bent steadily on that mysterious point towards which he felt drawn with irresistible power, like the magnetic needle to the Pole. JOHNSON STEERED THE DOCTOR BELL AND THE AMERICAN LEANED BACK AGAINST THE CARGO AND HATTERAS STOOD AT THE PROW HIS FIXED EAGER GAZE BENT STEADILY ON THAT MYSTERIOUS POINT TOWARDS WHICH HE FELT DRAWN WITH IRRESISTIBLE POWER LIKE THE MAGNETIC NEEDLE TO THE POLE
out-- "The tracks, footmarks, strangers." "What?" said Hatteras, "strangers here?" "No, no, the object glass; the object glass out of my telescope." [Illustration: ] And he held out his spy-glass for them to look at. "Ah! I see," said Altamont; "it is wanting." "Yes." "But then the footmarks?" "They were ours, friends, just ours," exclaimed the Doctor. "We had lost ourselves in the fog, and been wandering in a circle." "But the boot-marks," objected Hatteras. "Bell's. He walked about a whole day after he had lost his snow shoes." "So I did," said Bell. The mistake was so evident, that they all laughed heartily, except Hatteras, though no one was more glad than he at the discovery. A quarter of an hour afterwards the little sloop sailed out of Altamont Harbour, and commenced her voyage of discovery. The wind was favourable, but there was little of it, and the weather was positively warm. The sloop was none the worse for the sledge journey. She was in first-rate trim, and easily managed.  JOHNSON THE DOCTOR COULD HARDLY SPEAK HE WAS SO OUT OF BREATH AT LAST HE MANAGED TO GASP OUT THE TRACKS FOOTMARKS STRANGERS WHAT SAID HATTERAS STRANGERS HERE NO NO THE OBJECT GLASS THE OBJECT GLASS OUT OF MY TELESCOPE AND HE HELD OUT HIS SPYGLASS FOR THEM TO LOOK AT AH I SEE SAID ALTAMONT IT IS WANTING YES BUT THEN THE FOOTMARKS THEY WERE OURS FRIENDS JUST OURS EXCLAIMED THE DOCTOR WE HAD LOST OURSELVES IN THE FOG AND HAD BEEN WANDERING IN A CIRCLE BUT THE BOOTMARKS OBJECTED HATTERAS BELLS HE WALKED ABOUT A WHOLE DAY AFTER HE LOST HIS SNOW SHOES SO I DID SAID BELL THE MISTAKE WAS SO EVIDENT THAT THEY ALL LAUGHED HEARTILY EXCEPT HATTERAS THOUGH NO ONE WAS MORE GLAD THAN HE AT THE DISCOVERY A QUARTER OF AN HOUR AFTERWARDS THE LITTLE SLOOP SAILED OUT OF ALTAMONT HARBOR AND COMMENCED HER VOYAGE OF DISCOVERY THE WIND WAS FAVOURABLE BUT THERE WAS LITTLE OF IT AND THE WEATHER WAS POSITIVELY WARM THE SLOOP WAS NONE THE WORSE FOR THE SLEDGE JOURNEY SHE WAS IN FIRST RATE TRIM AND EASILY MANAGED
