"She rushed on to her ruin like the rest of foolhardy adventurers; but, tell me, did you find the coal?" The Doctor shook his head sadly. "No coal! not a vestige! No, we did not even get as far as the place mentioned by Sir Edward Belcher." "Then we have no fuel whatever?" said the old sailor. "No." "And no provisions?" "No." YES EVERYTHING GOES TO PROVE THAT BUT I WONDER WHAT THE PORPOISE WAS AND WHAT BROUGHT HER IN THESE SEAS SHE RUSHED ON TO HER RUIN LIKE THE REST OF FOOLHARDY ADVENTURERS BUT TELL ME DID YOU FIND THE COAL THE DOCTOR SHOOK HIS HEAD SADLY NO COAL NOT A VESTIGE NO WE DID NOT EVEN GET AS FAR AS THE PLACE MENTIONED BY SIR EDWARD BELCHER THEN WE HAVE NO FUEL WHATEVER SAID THE OLD SAILOR NO AND NO PROVISIONS NO

"In charge of Simpson?" "No, Simpson is dead, poor fellow!" "Simpson dead!" "Yes, his strength gave way entirely, and he first sank." "Poor Simpson! And yet who knows if he isn't rather to be envied?" "But, for the dead man we have left behind, we have brought back a dying one." "A dying man?" "Yes, Captain Altamont." And in a few words he informed Johnson of their discovery. "An American!" said Johnson, as the recital was ended.
