Hour after hour passed away, and still Hatteras persevered in his weary watch, though his hopes appeared doomed to disappointment. At length, about six in the evening, a dim, hazy, shapeless sort of mist seemed to rise far away between sea and sky.

ce, far as the eye could reach, nothing was visible except a solitary iceberg here and there, and a few scattered floes. Indeed, but little ice was met with anywhere. The sloop was ten degrees above the point of greatest cold, and consequently in the same temperature as Baffin's Bay and Disko. It was therefore not astonishing that the sea should be open in these summer months. This is a fact of great practical value, for if ever the whalers can penetrate north as far as the Polar basin, they may be sure of an immediate cargo, as this part of the ocean seems the general reservoir of whales and seals, and every marine species. The day wore on, but still nothing appeared on the horizon. Hatteras never left the prow of the ship, but stood, glass in hand, eagerly gazing into the distance with anxious, questioning eyes, and seeking to discover, in the colour of the water, the shape of the waves, and the breath of the wind, indications of approaching land.
