We ought to start at once, and get back without the least delay to Fort Providence, where we must winter." "That is my opinion, too," said Altamont. "The wind is favourable, so to-morrow we will get to sea." The day passed in profound dejection. The insanity of the captain was a bad omen and when they began to talk over the return voyage, their hearts failed them for fear.
