But Hatteras knew nothing that was passing around him. He lay full length in the boat, perfectly silent, with lifeless eye and folded arms, and Duk lying at his feet. BUT HATTERAS KNEW NOTHING THAT WAS PASSING AROUND HIM HE LAY FULL LENGTH IN THE BOAT PERFECTLY SILENT WITH LIFELESS EYE AND FOLDED ARMS AND DUKE LYING AT HIS FEET
e rocks, never to return, the Doctor carrying out the intentions of Hatteras, had a cairn erected on the very spot where the poor fellow had jumped ashore. It was made of great blocks placed one on the top of the other, so as to be a landmark perfectly visible while the eruptions of the volcano left it undisturbed. On one of the side stones, Bell chiselled the simple inscription-- JOHN HATTERAS. The duplicate of the document attesting the discovery of the North Pole was enclosed in a tinned iron cylinder, and deposited in the cairn, to remain as a silent witness among those desert rocks. This done, the four men and the captain, a poor body without a soul, set out on the return voyage, accompanied by the faithful Duk, who had become sad and downcast. A new sail was manufactured out of the tent, and about ten o'clock, the little sloop sailed out before the wind. She made a quick passage, finding abundance of open water. It was certainly easier to get away from the Pole than to get to it. ON BOARD BUT BEFORE LEAVING THESE ROCKS NEVER TO RETURN THE DOCTOR CARRYING OUT THE INTENTIONS OF HATTERAS HAD A CAIRN ERECTED ON THE VERY SPOT WHERE THE POOR FELLOW HAD JUMPED ASHORE IT WAS MADE OF GREAT BLOCKS PLACED ONE ON TOP OF THE OTHER SO AS TO BE A LANDMARK PERFECTLY VISIBLE WHILE THE ERUPTIONS OF THE VOLCANO LEFT IT UNDISTURBED ON ONE OF THE SIDE STONES BELL CHISELLED THE SIMPLE INSCRIPTION JOHN HATTERAS THE DUPLICATE OF THE DOCUMENT ATTESTING THE DISCOVERY OF THE NORTH POLE WAS ENCLOSED IN A TINNED IRON CYLINDER DEPOSITED IN THE CAIRN TO REMAIN AS A SILENT WITNESS AMONG THOSE DESERT ROCKS THIS DONE THE FOUR MEN AND THE CAPTAIN A POOR BODY WITHOUT A SOUL SET OUT ON THE RETURN VOYAGE ACCOMPANIED BY THE FAITHFUL DUKE WHO HAD BECOME SAD AND DOWNCAST A NEW SAIL WAS MANUFACTURED OUT OF THE TENT AND ABOUT TEN O'CLOCK THE LITTLE SLOOP SAILED OUT BEFORE THE WIND SHE MADE A QUICK PASSAGE FINDING ABUNDANCE OF OPEN WATER IT WAS CERTAINLY EASIER TO GET AWAY FROM THE POLE THAN TO GET TO IT
