The memory of my long confinement with maniacs, and all the horrible anguish and sufferings are too vivid to warrant my taking further chances. In 1889 I sold out my fishing boats, and found I had accumulated a fortune quite sufficient to keep me the remainder of my life. THE MEMORY OF MY LONG CONFINEMENT WITH MANIACS AND ALL HORRIBLE ANGUISH AND SUFFERINGS ARE TOO VIVID TO WARRANT MY TAKING FURTHER CHANCES IN EIGHTEEN EIGHTY NINE I SOLD OUT MY FISHING BOATS AND FOUND I HAD ACCUMULATED A FORTUNE QUITE SUFFICIENT TO KEEP ME THE REMAINDER OF MY LIFE
 within a week I had shipped with a fisherman by the name of Yan Hansen, who was starting on a long fishing cruise to the Lofoden Islands. Here my earlier years of training proved of the very greatest advantage, especially in enabling me to make myself useful. This was but the beginning of other trips, and by frugal economy I was, in a few years, able to own a fishing-brig of my own. For twenty-seven years thereafter I followed the sea as a fisherman, five years working for others, and the last twenty-two for myself. During all these years I was a most diligent student of books, as well as a hard worker at my business, but I took great care not to mention to anyone the story concerning the discoveries made by my father and myself. Even at this late day I would be fearful of having any one see or know the things I am writing, and the records and maps I have in my keeping. When my days on earth are finished, I shall leave maps and records that will enlighten and, I hope, benefit mankind. WERE ANCHORED AND WITHIN A WEEK I HAD SHIPPED WITH A FISHERMAN BY THE NAME OF JAN HANSON WHO WAS STARTING ON A LONG FISHING CRUISE TO THE LOFODIN ISLANDS HERE MY EARLIER YEARS OF TRAINING PROVED OF THE VERY GREATEST ADVANTAGE ESPECIALLY IN ENABLING ME TO MAKE MYSELF USEFUL THIS WAS BUT OF THE BEGINNING OF OTHER TRIPS AND BY FRUGAL ECONOMY I WAS IN A FEW YEARS ABLE TO OWN A FISHING BRIG OF MY OWN FOR TWENTY SEVEN YEARS THEREAFTER I FOLLOWED TO SEE AS A FISHERMAN FIVE YEARS WORKING FOR OTHERS IN THE LAST TWENTY TWO FOR MYSELF DURING ALL THESE YEARS I WAS A MOST DILIGENT STUDENT OF BOOKS AS WELL AS A HARD WORKER AT MY BUSINESS BUT I TOOK GREAT CARE NOT TO MENTION TO ANY ONE THE STORY CONCERNING THE DISCOVERIES MADE BY MY FATHER AND MYSELF EVEN AT THIS LATE DAY I WOULD BE FEARFUL OF HAVING ANY ONE SEE OR KNOW THE THINGS I AM WRITING AND THE RECORDS AND MAPS I HAVE IN MY KEEPING WHEN MY DAYS AND EARTH ARE FINISHED I SHALL LEAVE MAPS AND RECORDS THAT WILL ENLIGHTEN AND I HOPE BENEFIT MANKIND
