Oh! the North Pole! the North Pole!" He had become quite delirious with excitement, and fever burned in his veins. His eyes shone with unnatural brilliancy, and his brain seemed on fire. Perfect rest was what he most needed, for the Doctor found it impossible to quiet him. OH THE NORTH POLE THE NORTH POLE HE HAD BECOME QUITE DELIRIOUS WITH EXCITEMENT AND FEVER BURNED IN HIS VEINS HIS EYES SHONE WITH UNNATURAL BRILLIANCY AND HIS BRAIN SEEMED ON FIRE PERFECT REST WAS WHAT HE MOST NEEDED FOR THE DOCTOR FOUND IT IMPOSSIBLE TO QUIET HIM
 recovery of their captain filled all their hearts, and the poor fellows could not restrain their tears. The Doctor found, on examination, that he was not seriously hurt. The wind threw him on the coast where landing was perilous work, but, after being driven back more than once into the sea, the hardy sailor had managed to scramble on to a rock, and gradually to hoist himself above the waves. Then he must have become insensible, for he remembered nothing more except rolling himself in his flag. He only awoke to consciousness with the loud barking and caresses of his faithful Duk. After a little, Hatteras was able to stand up supported by the Doctor, and tried to get back to the sloop. He kept exclaiming, "The Pole! the North Pole!" "You are happy now?" said his friend. "Yes, happy! And are not you? Isn't it joy to find yourself here! The ground we tread is round the Pole! The air we breathe is the air that blows round the Pole! The sea we have crossed is the sea which washes the Pole! R A FEW MINUTES THE JOY OF RECOVERY OF THEIR CAPTAIN FILLED ALL THEIR HEARTS AND THE POOR FELLOWS COULD NOT RESTRAIN THEIR TEARS THE DOCTOR FOUND ON EXAMINATION THAT HE WAS NOT SERIOUSLY HURT THE WIND THREW HIM ON THE COAST WHERE LANDING WAS PERILOUS WORK BUT AFTER BEING DRIVEN BACK MORE THAN ONCE INTO THE SEA THE HARDY SAILOR HAD MANAGED TO SCRAMBLE ON TO A ROCK AND GRADUALLY TO HOIST HIMSELF ABOVE THE WAVES THEN HE MUST HAVE BECOME INSENSIBLE FOR HE REMEMBERED NOTHING MORE EXCEPT ROLLING HIMSELF IN HIS FLAG HE ONLY AWOKE TO CONSCIOUSNESS WITH THE LOUD BARKING AND CARESSES OF HIS FAITHFUL DUKE AFTER A LITTLE HATTERAS WAS ABLE TO STAND UP SUPPORTED BY THE DOCTOR AND TRIED TO GET BACK TO THE SLOOP HE KEPT ON EXCLAIMING THE POLE THE NORTH POLE YOU ARE HAPPY NOW SAID HIS FRIEND YES HAPPY AND ARE NOT YOU ISN'T IT A JOY TO FIND YOURSELF HERE THE GROUND WE TREAD ON IS ROUND THE POLE THE AIR WE BREATHE IS THE AIR THAT BLOWS ROUND THE POLE THE SEA WE HAVE CROSSED IS A SEA WHICH WASHES THE POLE
