Rh rHANEROGAMIA. 363

3. The species of Ventilago, a genus of Bhamnaceae. Mr. Benthain reduces the Indian species, of which sufficient material has been received, to three, of which diagnoses are given.

4. The Memecyla of Cuming's collections, with the synonymy of four species.

5. A Chinese species of Calogyne, a genus of Groodeniaceae. Curious as the second species of the order, apart from the mari- time Sccevolas, found out of Australia. It was collected near Amoy.

"With detailed descriptions of 262 species. A plate of each is furnished ; in the case of C. baccans, C. Bengalensis, C. indica, and the more variable types, a series of figures is given. Seven species are described for the first time.

Borszczow, El. — Die Aralo-Caspischen Calligoneen. Petersb. Mem. Tom. in. No. 1. 45 pp. with 3 plates.

Contains observations on the history and literature of the genus Calliffomcm, Linn, (with which the genera Fterococcus, Pall, and Calliphysa, P. et M. are united), its modus crescendi, physiognomy, development, geographical distribution and sta- tistics, properties and uses.

The total number of species is reckoned at 25, all of which are exclusively Asiatic, with the exception of G. comosum, which extends from Persia, across North Africa to the Canaries. The majority of species — at least 14— are peculiar to the Aralo- Caspian basin. Many of the species of Calligonum afford a gummy product, as observed by Pallas, which flows from wounds both in the branches and older stems ; in very hot weather exuding from herbaceous parts of the plant. The commonest species, C. Pallasia, besides serving as a good fuel, furnishes the food of the Steppe-mice (Cricetus, Meriones) which live under its bushes. Most of the species are capable of affording a dye, which has not, however, been investigated. Twenty Calligonums are described ; eleven of them, discovered by Herr Borszczow on his journey in 1857-8, as new.

Species occurring in the North of Italy, but absent from South Tyrol, are also described in Appendices.

Brachy aster is substituted for the generic name Bellidiastrum.

Anderson, Thomas.— Florula Adenensis. A systematic Account, with Descriptions, of the Flowering Plants hitherto found at Aden. Linn. Proc. v. (Suppl.) pp. 71. With 6 plates.

The descriptive portion of this paper is preceded by a short essay on the physical features and climate of Aden; some of the peculiarities of its flora, its general relations, and the geogra- phical distribution of the species. The total number of natural orders found at Aden is 42 ; of genera, 80 ; species, 95. The proportion of species to natural orders, 2 29:1. But eleven of the 95 species are monocotyledons, and of these nine are grasses. Fourteen species are endemic. Dr. Anderson unites all the de- scribed species of Fagonia with the Linnaean P. cretica.

Ardoino, Honore.— De l'Annexion du Comte de Nice a la Prance au point de vue de la Botanique. Bull. Soc. Botan. Tom. vii. pp. 317-320.

Ball, John. — Notes sur quelques Cruciferes. Bull. Soc. Botan. Tom. vii. pp. 227-231, 247-252.

- Mr. Ball observes that the more the genera of Cruciferse are studied with ample suites of specimens, the less possible does it become to base their classification upon positive characters.

Apropos of this paper M. Cosson observed that characters derived from the relative position of the radicle and the cotyledons, and the form of the latter, are less constant than has been gene- rally conceived.

Bentham, G-eorge. — Notes on Ternstroemiaceae. Linn. Proc. v. pp. 53-65.

Consisting, in part, of critical observations on the " Memoire sur les Ternstroamiacees et les Camelliacees" published by M. Choisy in 1855 ; in part, the result of a recent revision of the genera for the " Flora of Hong-Kong," and the " Genera Plan- tarum," in course of preparation by the author in conjunction with Dr. Hooker.

The separation of TernstrcEmiacese from Camelliaceae, as pro- posed by Choisy, Mr. Bentham objects to as unnatural and not sustained by any positive character.

Sauranja with the allied genera Actinidla (referred by Dr. Lindley to Dilleniaceae) and Stachyurus, are appended to Tern-

1. That the chorda dorsalis does not exist in the first and half of the second days of the formation of the embryo of birds.

2. That the " secondary line" which has been personified under that name, represents a free interval lying between the internal borders of the primitive folds ; the line being inflected with the folds in the formation of the cephalic hood.

3. That this secondary line, or the interval of the primitive folds, should not be regarded as the rudiment of any body what- ever, since light traverses it readily when viewed under the Microscope.

4. It follows, therefore, that if the chorda dorsalis does not exist in the first day of the formation of the embryo, it is not, nor can he, the axis around which the primitive parts of the foetus are subsequently formed.

einigen Bemerkungen iiber Generationswechsel. Plate. Vien. Bitz; 60.

Three specimens of Hydra were isolated in small vessels. One of these, which did not produce buds, died. The two others, fur- nished with buds, spontaneously broke up into fragments which, after the expiration of a month, were observed to move like Amoebae, and even multiply by self- division, while some passed into a state resembling the encysted condition of certain Infusoria. Thus, it is conjectured, they may remain throughout the winter, and, in spring time, become changed into perfect Hydra?.

This is a free Zoantharian allied, we think, to Peacliia of Grosse. It was first found " adhering singly to the lower surface of the disc in Olindias (nov. gen.

Rows of minute orifices, leading into the grand cavity, were distinctly seen to radiate from the hinder end of the body.

All the species and genera of these groups known to the author are fully described. There is a general introduction on the organization of the Polypes. These form the class Coralliaria, divided into the sub-classes Cnidaria and Podactinaria. The Cnidaria include two orders, Alcyonaria and Zoantharia. Of Alcyonaria are distinguished three families, Alcyonidcd, Gorgo- nidce, and Pennatulidce. In this order Prof. Milne Edwards establishes a new genus, Haimeia, in honour of his recently deceased colleague. The single species, IL.funebris, has a fur- ther interest in being the only recorded example of a solitary Alcyonarian. The Zoantharia are arranged under three sub- orders : Malacodermata, Sclerobasica, and Sclerodermata. All the Malacodermata are divided into two families, the Actiniadce, with tentacles alternate, and the Cerianthiidce, having two rows of opposite tentacula. This portion of the work is, perhaps, the least perfect in its systematic details. Of Sclerobasica there is but one family, Antipathidce. The numerous families of Sclero- dermata fall under five principal sections : Aporosa, Perforata, Tubulosa, Tabulata, and Rugosa. The sub-class Podactinaria is equivalent to the family Lucernariadae of other authors.

A short chapter is added on the geographical distribution of the Polypes.

There are, also, three fasciculi of Plates, representing some of the forms described in the text.

38 finishes the job. Then having finished their day's work, they go to their union meetings and vote donations of a few hundred dollars to help the strikers to defeat the boss, after they had worked all day to help the boss to defeat the strikers. Thus they exemplify the solidarity of labor. When the moulders are beaten the machinists and the patternmakers, and the blacksmiths, and the electricians, and the engineers, and all the rest take their turn of going up against the boss in separate bodies to be licked. As each is taking its medicine its fellows of other crafts in the same shop sympathize with it in the name of the solidarity of labor, and continue to work in the service of the capitalist, against whom the strike is directed, in the name of the sacred contract of the craft union.

When the coal miners of Pennsylvania had their famous strike in 1902 the railroad brotherhoods hauled in scabs to take their places, and when the scabs had mined coal the same railroad men hauled out this scab-mined coal.

Need I go on to prove the point that industrial division and discord is the order of the day amongst the workers, and that this disunion and confusion on the economic field cannot fail to perpetuate itself upon the political field? Those orators who reproach the workers with being divided on the political field, although united on the industrial, are simply mis-stating facts. The workers are divided on both, and as political parties are the reflex of economic conditions, it follows that industrial union once established will create the political unity of the working class. I feel that we cannot too strongly insist upon this point. Political division is born of industrial division; politi-

For the first year the teaching may be viva voce, with easy problems and abundant experiment; care being taken that each week's lectures shall be reproduced on paper, and great attention being paid to correct drawing. In the second year the teaching will be more minute and more extended, and a good book will be mastered. At the end of this time the class is fit to pass creditably the Oxford Local Examination for juniors, and has done with mechanics for the present. The third and fourth years will be given to inorganic chemistry. The third year will include only lectures in the class room; a text-book being used, experiments being shawn by the master, but no laboratory work being done by the boys. The fourth year's work will be conducted entirely in the laboratory, each boy manipulating with his own instruments at his own table. At the expiration of these two years the class will be qualified for the chemistry examination in the London University Matriculation. The fifth year is given to botany. If a good book is used, if each boy works for himself with lens and knife, if Henslaw's Schedules, or a modification of them, are regularly filled up; above all, if plates are not made to do the work of living plants, the pupils will at the year's end thoroughly understand the principles of classification, will know the characteristics of at least all the British orders, and will be able with the help of Bentham or Babington to make out almost any English flower. The boys who have completed this course will be from 16 to 17 years old. Some of them will now be leaving school; those who remain will give the rest of their time to physiology. They will begin with human and will pass to comparative physiology, using in the first Professor Huxley's valuable little book; dependent for the second, of which no school manual exists, on the skill and method of their teacher. But whether at the earlier or the later age, they will pass out into the world immeasurably superior to their contemporaries who know not science, with doors of knowledge opened which can never again be closed; with a fund of resource established which can never be exhausted; with minds in which are cultivated, as nothing else can cultivate them, the priceless habits of observation, of reasoning on external phenomena, of classification, arrangement, method, judgment.

The subject of books and apparatus, involving as it does the question of expense, is of the highest practical importance. Apparatus need not cost much; but it may, and if possible it should, cost a great deal. While poor and struggling schouls may begin cheaply and proceed gradually, institutions which can spend money on racket courts and gymnasiums ought not to grudge it on museums and botanic gardens. We have taught mechanics efficiently, that is to say, we have passed our classes for the last three years in the Oxford Local, with a good air-pump, a set of pulleys, models of the force-pump and the common pump, with Keith Johnston's scientific maps, and with the diligent use during the second year of Newth's "Natural Philosophy." But we have lost no opportunity of making the boys acquainted with machinery; from the crane and the water-mill of our daily walks, to the steam engine and the spinning jenny of the manufactory; for he who has not examined engines at work will never understand them clearly, or describe them correctly, For teaching chemistry, a laboratory is absolutely essential. No matter how rough or shabby a room, so that it be well ventilated, have gas and water laid on, and will hold from sixteen to twenty boys. I hold in my hand the model of a cheap laboratory table, on the scale of two inches to a foot. It is about nine feet by three, and contains eight compartments, each two feet by sixteen inches, with two slight shelves, and a special recess for the teacher. It costs about 4l. If made for twice the number of bays, it may be made at about nine shillings per boy. The general laboratory stock, including a still, a stove or furnace, gas jars, a pneumatic trough, a proper stock of retorts, crucibles, tubing, &c., and the necessary chemicals will cost under 12l. Each pair of pupils must have also between them a set of test tubes, a washbottle, a spirit lamp, a waste basin beneath their table, and twenty-four bottles of test solutions, while each bey has his awn blowpipe, tripod and stand, pestle and mortar, and three beakers. These will cost each boy about eight shillings. He will replace everything that he breaks, and will receive the value of his stock from his successor when he quits the class. The text-book used should be Roscoe's, or Williamson's, and a large black board is quite indispensable. In botany the book for the boys' use is Professor Oliver's Lessons; but the teacher will find great advantage from Le Maout's "Leçons de Botanie." An excellent modification of Henslow's Schedule is published by Professor Mabington for the use of his Cambridge classes, and Lindley's "Descriptive botany," price one shilling, is a most useful help. Every boy should be furnished with a small deal board, a lens, and a sharp knife. The botanical micrescope which I exhibit, including a lens fixed or movable, a black glass stage, two dissecting needles and a forceps, is made by Mr. Highley, of Green-street, Leicester-square. If they are ordered by the dozen he will furnish them at six shillings each. Flower trays, such as I hold in my hand, should be kept constantly in use; the boys being encouraged to bring in wild flowers, and to place them in their appropriate niches. Their cost per tray, holding eighteen bottles, is under two shillings. Fitch's diagrams designed for the Committee of Council on Education, which cost 2l. 9s. the set, are a valuable help to the lectures; and for schools which have large purses or liberal friends, Dr. Auzoux's Models of Plants and Plant Organs, ranging in price from 20 to 100 francs, and ten times the size of life, form a luxuriant assistance to beginners, which only those can appreciate who have worn out their eyesight and their temper over a composite floret or the glume of a small grass. The same excellent modellist, whose catalogue is on the table, provides every organ necessary for the study of comparative and human physiology; and his prices ought not to be beyond the reach of any prosperous school. In any case a skeleton will be necessary, and will cost about £5; and if the Committee of Council were to authorise the reproduction of such typical physiological cases as, from the skilful hands of Mr. Charles Robertson of the Oxford Museum, drew so many admirers in the Exhibition of 1862, these would find immediate purchasers in many of our schools. At present teachers want the skill or the leisure to make their own preparations, and they cannot buy them. A good set of meteorological instruments costs from £16 to £20, but these, with astronomical apparatus, are a costly luxury, and may be left out of the list of indispensable necessities. I cannot think that any school, professing to teach science systematically, will be long satisfied without a typical museum. As scientific work proceeds, specimens of all kinds, some purchased for lecture work, others given by friends or collected by the boys, will gather and increase, till the class-roam cupboards and shelves are choked, and a special room must be devoted to them. Here will be arranged, in one place rocks and fossils, in another trays of minerals, in a third zoological specimens, in a fourth physiological preparations. The driest corner in the room will be assigned to the Herbarium, a small library of scientific reference will vive promise of the future. Everything not typical will be rigorously excluded; every case will be so carefully arranged and so plainly labelled as to tell the history of its contents to the eye of the least instructed observer. And it will be hard if some corner of the playground cannot be laid out as a botanic garden. In the crowded school premises which we are happily leaving I hare found room for nearly four hundred plants, and at the new school to which we are about to migrate, I shall riot in two acres of garden ground, with a pond for water plants and a sheltered rockery for ferns.

It remains only to examine the mode of obtaining teaching power; a point which presses heavily on many

. Perfectly, Doña O.

. However, you might send the mantillas. Meanwhile, we shall be at the cathedral.

. Does His Reverence preach this morning?

. Yes, and he will have something to say, too, which will be a novelty. Did you ever hear of such an outrage? In the midst of the feria these impudent actors come here to perform this infamous play!

. Will you listen to that?

. Calm yourself. Somebody must be tolerant.

. Oh, His Reverence will be heard from! He knows what he is talking about—and yet all the while it really seems as if he were saying nothing at all.

. I have noticed that myself.

. What an attractive display you have for the fiesta!

. I always endeavor to present some novelty for the holidays, if only for the honor of the shop—and Moraleda.

. You show excellent taste.

. How cunning, mamma! Look! An orchestra of pigs!

. Did you notice the brooches? They are art nouveau.

. Yes, they were lovely. Send me home some to select from.

. And don't forget the pigs. I can see she has set her heart on them. Even then she won't be satisfied.

. Hardly, at her age. Young ladies don't know what they want. As you say, when they do, it is always something that they haven't yet got.

Rh cal scabbery is born of industrial craft scabbery; political weakness keeps even step with industrial weakness. It is an axiom enforced by all the experience of the ages that they who rule politically, and therefore they who are divided industrially will remain impotent politically. The failure of Mr. Gompers to unite politically the forces of the American Federation of Labor was the inevitable outcome of his own policy of division on the industrial battle ground; he reversed the natural process by trying to unite men on class lines whilst he opposed every effort, as in the case of the Brewers, to unite them on industrial lines. The natural lines of though and action lead from the direct to the indirect, from the simple to the complex, from the immediate to the ultimate. Mr. Gompers ignored this natural line of development and preached the separation into craft organizations, with separate craft interests, of the workers, and then expected them to heed his call to unity on the less direct and immediate battleground of politics. He failed, as even the Socialists would fail if they remained equally blind to the natural law of our evolution into class consciousness. That natural law leads us as individuals to unite in our craft, as crafts to unite in our industry, as industries in our class, and the finished expression of that evolution is, we believe, the appearance of our class upon the political battle ground with all the economic power behind it to enforce its mandates. Until that day dawns our political parties of the working class are but propagandist agencies, John the Baptists of the New Redemption, but when that day dawns our political party will be armed with all the might of our

. Except her marriage with Don Manolito. They have some pretty hot times together—at least so I hear from the servants.

. Why shouldn't her parents object? Who is Don Manolito? The Governor's secretary—one of those bounders from Madrid. It is all his fault the way things go here. Don Santiago does nothing. Beyond question, he was responsible for that last gambling scandal.

40 class; will be revolutionary in fact as well as in thought.

To Irish men and women especially, I should not need to labor this point. The historic example of their Land League bequeaths to us a precious legacy of wisdom, both practical and revolutionary, outlining our proper course of action. During Land League days in Ireland when a tenant was evicted from a farm, not only his fellow-tenants but practically the whole country united to help him in his fight. When the evicted farm was rented by another tenant, a land-grabber or “scab,” every person in the countryside shunned him as a leper, and, still better, fought him as a traitor. Nor did they make the mistake of fighting the traitor and yet working for his employer, the landlord. No, they included both in the one common hostility.

At the command of the Land League every servant and laborer quit the service of the landlord. In Ireland; it is well to remember, in order to appreciate this act of the laborers, that the landlords were usually better paymasters and more generous employers than the tenant farmers. The laborers, therefore, might reasonably have argued that the fight of the tenant farmers was none of their business. But they indulged in no such blindly selfish hair-splitting. When the landlord had declared war upon the tenant by evicting him, the laborers responded by way upon the landlord. Servant boy and servant girl at once quit his service, the carman refused to drive him, the cook to cook for him, his linen remained unwashed, his harvest unreaped, his cows unmilked, his house and fields deserted. The grocer and the butcher, the physician

. In such matters I make it a rule to follow the catechism: the sacraments in their proper order. Marriage comes seventh, after extreme unction.

peculiar phenomenon of the Arctic regions lasted about three-quarters of an hour, so that the bears and foxes had time to regale themselves comfortably. The supply was most opportune for the poor starving animals, and they had not been backward in profiting by it, for the marks of their sharp claws were all over the sledge. Cases of pemmican were broken open and emptied, bags of biscuits devoured, tea strewn among the snow, and one keg of spirits of wine smashed to pieces, and all the contents lost; blankets, and skins, and coverings tossed here and there in all directions—nothing had been left untouched by the famished and voracious beasts.

"This is a bad job for us," said Bell, contemplating the scene of desolation.

"One that can't be remedied, I fear," added Simpson.

"We had better see what mischief has been done first, and then talk about it afterwards, I think," said the Doctor.

Hatteras made no remark, but busied himself silently in collecting the scattered bags and cases. The loss of any of the spirits of wine was most vexatious, for without it there would be an end to tea and coffee, or any warm beverage whatever. After picking what biscuits and pemmican were still eatable, the Doctor made an estimate of the damage done, and found that 200 pounds of pemmican and 150 pounds of biscuits had disappeared; so that if the journey was to be continued, they must be content with half the usual rations.

It became a question, therefore, whether to go on or return to the ship, and recommence the expedition. But to return would be to lose 150 miles already gained, and, moreover, to return without the coal would have a most disastrous effect on the crew!

All but Simpson decided in favor of going on, even at the price of the hardest privations. The poor fellow's health had begun to give away, and he was anxious to be back on board ship; but, finding he stood alone in his opinion, he yielded to the others, and resumed his place beside the sledge.

The monotonous journey went on much as usual, unmarked by any fresh event till the 17th of January, when the whole aspect of the region suddenly changed. A great num-

 ber of sharp towering peaks, like pointed pyramids, appeared on the horizon, and the soil in certain places rose above the snow. It was composed apparently of gneiss, schist, and quartz, with some admixture of chalky rock. The travelers had reached firm land once more, and this land could be none other than New Cornwall.

The Doctor congratulated himself on being off the treacherous ice, and only a hundred miles from Cape Belcher; but, strangely enough, the difficulties of the journey increased rather than diminished, and they soon had cause to regret the smooth, almost unbroken ice over which the sledge could glide with comparative ease, for the road was rugged in the extreme, full of sharp rocks, and precipices, and crevices. They were obliged to make a circuitous course towards the interior, to get to the top of the steep cliffs on the coast, and across tremendous gorges, where the snow was piled up thirty or forty feet high.

It was hard work to drag the sledge along, for the dogs were exhausted, and the men had to harness themselves and help. Several times everything had to be taken out of it before they could get to the top of some steep hill, the glassy sides of which afforded no foothold for man or beast.

On the evening of the second day after their arrival on the coast of New Cornwall, the men were so completely exhausted that they were unable to erect their usual snow-hut. They passed the night under the tent, wrapped in their buffalo skins, and tried to dry their wet stockings by the heat of their own bodies. Before morning the thermometer fell to 44° and the mercury froze.

The inevitable consequences of such exposure followed. Simpson's health was shaken alarmingly; an obstinate cold clung to him, and violent rheumatic pains, which obliged him to lie all day on the sledge. Bell had to take his place in guiding the dogs, for though he was far from well, he was not unable to keep about. The Doctor also suffered considerably, but he never complained; he held out bravely, and went first to act as scout. Hatteras, impassible, impenetrable, and hard as ever, was as strong as the first day, and walked silently behind the sledge.

On the 20th of January the temperature was so low that the slightest exertion was followed by complete prostration; and yet the road was so rugged and difficult that the Doctor,


text:
Page:Works of Jules Verne - Parke - Vol 2.djvu/385

 and Bell, and Hatteras, too, had to harness themselves to the sledge with the dogs. Constantly jolting over the uneven ground had broken the front part, and it was necessary to stop and repair it. Delays like these soon became frequent.

The three men were jogging along through a deep ravine, where the snow was up to their waists, and the perspiration was streaming from every pore in spite of the intense cold, when Bell, who was nearest the Doctor, looked at him in alarm, and, without saying a word, caught up a handful of snow, and began rubbing his worthy friend's face as vigorously as possible, to the great bewilderment of the Doctor, who tried to push him off, exclaiming:

"What now, Bell?"

But Bell still went on rubbing, till the little man's eyes, nose, and mouth were all full of snow, and he called out again:

"I say, Bell, what's all this? Are you mad? What do you mean?"

"I mean this, that you have me to thank for it if you still have a nose."

"A nose?" replied the Doctor, putting up his hand to his face.

"Yes, Mr. Clawbonny, you were completely frost-bitten. Your nose was quite white when I looked at you, and without my rough treatment you would have lost an ornament that is very necessary in life, though rather inconvenient in traveling."

Bell was right. A few minutes longer, and the Doctor's nose would have been gone, but, happily, friction had restored the circulation, and the danger was past.

"Thanks, Bell; I'll do as much for you some day, perhaps."

"I quite reckon on it, and Heaven grant we may have no worse misfortunes to come!" replied the carpenter.

"Ah! you refer to Simpson; the poor fellow is in great pain."

"Have you any fear for him?" asked Hatteras, quickly.

"I have captain."

"What is it you apprehend, Doctor?"

"A violent attack of scurvy. His legs are swelling already, and his gums are affected. There he lies wrapped up


text:
Page:Works of Jules Verne - Parke - Vol 2.djvu/386

 in the blankets, half-frozen, and these constant jolts aggravate his sufferings. I pity him, Hatteras, but I can do nothing for him!"

"Poor Simpson!" murmured Bell.

"Perhaps we might rest a day or two," suggested the Doctor.

"Rest a day or two!" cried Hatteras, "when the lives of eighteen men hang on our return!"

"Still" began the Doctor.

"Clawbonny, Bell, listen to me. We have only food enough for twenty days! Can we afford to waste an instant?"

Neither the Doctor nor Bell made any reply, and the sledge went on.

In the evening the little cavalcade stopped at the foot of an ice-hill, in which Bell soon cut out a cave to shelter them for the night.

The Doctor stayed up with Simpson, while the others slept, for the scurvy had made frightful ravages on the poor man's frame already, and he moaned piteously with pain.

"Ah! Mr. Clawbonny," he said.

"Come, cheer up, my lad!" replied the Doctor.

"I shall never go back! I feel it! I can go no farther; I would rather die."

The Doctor only replied by redoubling his attentions. Forgetting his own fatigue, he busied himself in preparing some soothing draught for his suffering patient, for lime-juice and friction were now powerless.

When morning came, the unfortunate man had to be replaced on the sledge, though he entreated to be left behind to die in peace. The weary march was resumed, amid increasing difficulties, for icy fogs pierced the travelers to the very marrow, and hail and snow lashed their faces with merciless severity.

Duk, like his master, seemed to feel nothing, and showed wonderful sagacity in finding out the best road.

On the morning of the 23rd, when it was nearly quite dark, as there was a new moon, Duk was suddenly missing. He had been out of sight for several hours, and Hatteras grew uneasy, for the tracks of bears were pretty numerous. He was just considering what was best to be done, when he caught the soud of loud, furious barking in the distance,


text:
Page:Works of Jules Verne - Parke - Vol 2.djvu/387

 and, urging the sledge forward, soon came up to his faithful beast at the bottom of a ravine.

Duk was standing motionless in front of a sort of cairn, and barking violently.

"This time it is a cairn, at all events," said the Doctor.

"What's that to us?" asked Hatteras.

"Hatteras, if it is a cairn, it may contain some valuable document for us, or perhaps it is a depot of provisions, and that is worth our while to look at."

"And what European can have been this way?" said the captain, shrugging his shoulders.

"But though no European has been, may not the Esquimaux have been here and made a hiding-place for the spoils of their hunting and fishing? It is quite in keeping with their habits."

"Well, well, Clawbonny, examine it if you choose, but I question if you get anything for your pains."

By the help of mattocks the cairn was soon demolished, and a box was discovered, inside which was a paper quite damp with moisture. The Doctor seized it with a beating heart, and handed it to Hatteras, who read as follows:—

"Altam—, Porpoise 13 Dec. 1860 12° longitude, S 55° lat."

"The Porpoise!" said the Doctor.

"The Porpoise!" repeated Hatteras. "I know no vessel of that name that has been in these seas."

"It is quite evident that whatever vessel she is, her crew, or possibly some of her shipwrecked men, passed this way less than two months ago," replied Clawbonny.

"That is quite certain," added Bell.

"What shall we do?" asked the Doctor.

"Continue our journey," replied Hatteras, coldly. "I know nothing of the Porpoise, but I know that the brig Forward is waiting our return."

journey was resumed, each of the party absorbed in his own reflections about the unexpected discovery just made. Hatteras knit his brows uneasily, and said to himself:

 "What vessel can this be? What is she doing so near the Pole?"

The Doctor and Bell only thought of going to the rescue of some poor fellows like themselves, or being rescued by them.

But before long they were engrossed enough with their own dangers and difficulties, for their situation became hourly more perilous.

Simpson was getting gradually worse, and the Doctor's practiced eye saw death rapidly approaching. He could do nothing for him; he was suffering acutely himself from ophthalmia, which might end in total blindness without care. The twilight was strong enough now to cause a glaring reflection on the snow which burnt the eyes. Spectacles would have been some protection, but it was impossible to wear them, as the glasses became encrusted with ice immediately, and consequently perfectly opaque, and yet it was necessary to keep a constant look-out to avoid accidents. This must be done at all risks, so Bell and the Doctor agreed to undertake the duty in turn, and bandage their eyes in the intervals.

On the 25th of January the road become even more dangerous and difficult, from the steep declivities they met with constantly, when one false step would have precipitated them into deep ravines.

Towards evening a violent tempest swept over the snowy ridges, and soon increased to such a hurricane, that they were forced to stop and lie down on the ground. But the temperature was so low that they would all inevitably have been frozen to death, had not Bell succeeded after much difficulty in making a snow hut, in which they took shelter and recruited themselves scantily with a few morsels of pemmican and some hot tea. There were only four gallons of spirits of wine now remaining, as it was not only used in making tea and coffee, but in getting water to drink, for it must not be imagined that snow can be employed to quench thirst without being melted. In temperate countries, where the thermometer is scarcely ever so low as freezing point, it might not be injurious, but beyond the polar circle it is quite a different matter. The snow there is so intensely cold, that one could no more lay hold of it with the naked hand than red-hot iron; consequently, there is such a difference of temperature between it and the stomach, that swal-

 lowing any portion would actually cause suffocation. The Esquimaux would rather endure prolonged agonies of thirst than attempt to relieve it with snow.

At three in the morning, when the storm outside was at the worst, the Doctor was taking his turn at watch, and sitting in a corner of the hut, leaning against the wall, when a piteous moan from Simpson aroused his attention. He rose hastily to go to him, and struck his head against the roof, but thinking nothing more of it, he stooped down beside Simpson, and began rubbing his blue swollen legs. He had continued the friction for about a quarter of an hour, when he wanted to shift his position. On trying to get up, for he had been kneeling, he knocked his head against the roof a second time.

"This is strange!" he said to himself, and put his hand to feel above him. The roof was sinking, there was no mistake.

"Quick, quick, friends!" he exclaimed, rousing Bell and Hatteras, who started up in alarm, and in their turn struck their heads against the roof.

"We shall be crushed!" cried the Doctor. "Out! out! this minute."

It was pitch-dark inside, but they managed to drag Simpson through the opening, and just saved themselves in time, for the next minute the entire hut fell in with a loud noise.

The unfortunate travelers were now exposed to the full fury of the tempest, in addition to the extreme cold. Hatteras hastened to put up the tent; but it would not stand before the violence of the hurricane, and all they could do was to shelter themselves beneath the canvas, which was soon covered with a thick coating of snow, and preserved the poor fellows from being frozen alive.

Towards morning the storm abated, and the little party prepared to start afresh. In harnessing the dogs, Bell discerned that the wretched, half-starved animals had begun to gnaw their leather traces, and two of the beasts were evidently ill, and would not be able to go very far.

They set out again, however, for sixty miles more had yet to be traversed before they reached the goal.

On the 26th, Bell, who was in advance, called out suddenly to his companions. On hastening towards him, he pointed out a gun placed bolt upright against a mass of ice.

 Hatteras lifted it up, and found it loaded and in good condition.

"The men belonging to the Porpoise cannot be far off!" exclaimed the Doctor.

On examination, the gun proved to be of American manufacture, and the very touch of it sent a thrill through the veins of the captain.

"Forward!" he said, in hollow tones, and the cavalcade marched on, down the steep sides of the mountains. Simpson appeared to be insensible; his strength was too far gone now to moan.

The storm had by no means ceased, and the sledge went slower and slower. Only a few miles' progress was made in twenty-four hours, and, notwithstanding the severest economy, the stock of provisions was fast decreasing; but as long as more than enough remained for the journey back, Hatteras pushed forward.

On the 27th, a sextant was found half buried in the snow, and then a gourd still containing some brandy, or rather a lump of ice, in the center of which all the spirit had taken refuge in the form of a ball of snow.

It was evident that Hatteras had unintentionally got on the track of some great disaster, for in pursuing the only practicable road, he was constantly finding evidences of a terrible shipwreck. The Doctor kept a sharp look-out for any fresh cairns, but had seen none hitherto.

He felt saddened by the thought, however, that even should any poor creature be discovered, he could do nothing to help them. His companions and himself were beginning to be in want of everything. Their clothes were torn, and their provisions getting very scant. Should the shipwrecked crew be numerous, they would all perish with hunger. Hatteras appeared anxious to hurry away from the chance of meeting them; but was he not right? Was he not responsible for the lives of his men? Ought he to compromise their safety by bringing strangers on board?

Yet these strangers were fellow-men, perhaps fellow-countrymen! Ought they to be abandoned without at least an effort to save them? The Doctor asked Bell his opinion about it, but could get no reply. Suffering had hardened his heart. Clawbonny did not dare to appeal to Hatteras—all he could do was to trust to Providence.

 Towards evening Simpson grew worse, and his end seemed near. His limbs were rigid, and his face wore a terrible despairing look, which changed to one of fierce vindictive rage, whenever his glance fell on Hatteras. A whole volume of accusations and reproaches, perhaps not unmerited, might be read in the expression of his eye.

Hatteras did not go near him; he evidently shunned his presence, and was more tacitun, reserved, and incommunicative than ever.

It was a fearful night. The storm raged with redoubled violence, and three times the tent had been torn down, and the snow-drift had beat piteously on the unsheltered men, blinding their eyes, freezing them to the marrow, and cutting their faces with the sharp pieces of ice broken off the surrounding icebergs. The dogs howled lamentably, and poor Simpson lay dying. Bell succeeded once more in securing the tent, which, frail as it was, protected them from snow, if not from cold, but a sudden blast tore it up a fourth time, and whirled it completely away.

"Really this is beyond endurance!" exclaimed Bell.

"Courage!" said the Doctor, catching hold of his arm to keep himself from being blown down the ravine.

The death-rattle was heard in Simpson's throat. Suddenly he made one expiring effort, half raised himself, shook his clenched fist at Hatteras, who looked at him with fixed steady gaze, and fell back lifeless, with the unspoken execration on his lips.

"Dead!" exclaimed the Doctor.

"Dead!" echoed Bell.

Hatteras came forward to look, but was driven back by the wind. The dead man counted him his murderer, but he was not overwhelmed by the accusation, though a tear escaped his eye, and stiffened on his pale cheek.

This was the first of the crew that had fallen a victim—the first who would never return to England—the first who paid the penalty with his life of the captain's indomitable obstinacy.

The Doctor and Bell gazed at him with a sort of terror, as he stood motionless the livelong night, resting on his stick, as if defying the tempest that roared about him.

six in the morning, the wind suddenly shifted north, and became calm. The sky cleared, and the first glimmer of twilight silvered the horizon, to be succeeded in a few days by the golden rays of the sun.

Hatteras went up to his dejected companions, and said in a gentle, sad voice:

"My friends, we are more than sixty miles still from the spot mentioned by Belcher. We have just barely enough food to last us back to the ship. To go farther would be to expose ourselves to certain death, without profit to anyone. We will retrace our steps."

"You have come to a good resolution, Hatteras, I think," said the Doctor. "I would have followed you wherever you had chosen to go: but our strength is diminishing day by day, and we can scarcely drag one leg after the other. I heartily approve of your decision."

"And you are of the same mind, Bell?" asked Hatteras.

"Yes, captain I am," was the reply.

"Very well, then," return Hatteras, "we will give ourselves two days' rest. That is not too much. The sledge is in great need of repair. I think our best plan will be to make a snow-hut, to shelter us till we are ready to begin our journey back."

This point settled, all three set to work with ardor, and soon built up a hut at the bottom of the ravine where they had last halted.

It must have cost Hatteras a tremendous struggle to relinquish his project. All this toil and trouble wasted, and one man's life into the bargain! And how would he be received by the crew, returning thus empty handed? But Hatteras felt he could not hold out longer.

He gave all his attention now to the thorough repair of the sledge. It had not more than 200 lbs. weight to carry, and was soon brought into working trim. The worn-out, tattered garments were mended, and new snow shoes and moccasins replaced the old ones, which were no longer wearable. These necessary occupations took up one entire day and the morning of another, the poor fellows resting themselves at the same time after their sore fatigues, and trying to get up their strength for the weary march back.

 Ever since they had been in the hut, the Doctor had remarked Duk's strange behavior. The animal kept running in and out, and going round and round a heap of snow and ice, giving occasionally a low bark and wagging his tail impatiently, with an inquiring look at his master.

Clawbonny could not understand what ailed the dog, but at last came to the conclusion that his restlessness was caused by the sight of Simpson's corpse, which there had not been time yet to bury. He resolved to have it interred that very day, as they were to set off next morning as soon as it was light.

Bell undertook to assist, and the two, provided with mattocks, set off together to dig a deep hole in the bottom of the ravine. The heap round which Duk kept watch seemed the most favorable spot, and they proceed to lift off the ice and snow, which seemed lying in layers. After removing the snow, they attacked the ice; but at the third stroke the Doctor's mattock encountered some hard substance, which proved to be a fragment of a wine bottle. Bell, who was at work on the opposite side, turned up that same instant a crumpled-up bag, in which were some pieces of biscuit in a perfect state of preservation.

"Heigho!" exclaimed the Doctor. "What's this, I wonder?"

He called out to Hatteras, who came up immediately.

Duk still kept on barking, and scratching at the ice with his paws.

"Can we have come upon a depot of provisions?" asked the Doctor.

"Possibly," said Bell.

Hatteras advanced no opinion, but simply said:

"Go on digging."

More fragments of food soon appeared, and then a case of pemmican about a quarter full.

"If it is a depot, the bears have certainly been here before us, for see, nothing is whole!" said Hatteras.

"It is to be feared that is the case," replied Clawbonny, "for"

He did not finish his sentence, for he was interrupted by an exclamation from Bell, and looking across, saw he had uncovered a human leg!

"A corpse!" cried the Doctor.

trees and shrubs, belonging to the natural order Sapindacez, some authorities, however, making the genus the type of a distinct order Hippocastanee. Leaves in opposite decussate pairs, without stipules, stalked, digitately compound; leaflets five to nine, serrate in margin, pinnately veined. Branchlets stout, terete, with large triangular leaf-scars. Buds large, of numerous decussately opposite scales which are homologous with leaf-bases, the outer deciduous, dry or resinous, the inner accrescent and often brightly coloured.

Flowers in large terminal racemes or panicles, appearing later than the leaves, of two kinds, hermaphrodite and staminate, on the same plant; placed in the axils of minute caducous bracts on stout jointed pedicels. Calyx imbricate in bud, fiveor two-lobed, the lobes unequal, united with an hypogynous annular disc in the hermaphrodite flowers. Petals four to five, imbricate in bud, alternate with the calyx lobes and inserted on the disc. Stamens five to eight, usually seven, inserted on the inner margin of the disc, unequal in length; filaments filiform; anthers two-celled, sometimes glandular at the apex. Ovary three-celled, rudimentary in the staminate flowers, each cell containing two ovules. Style slender, elongated, generally curved. Fruit a capsule; prickly, roughened, or smooth; coriaceous; three-celled, threeseeded, and three-valved, or by abortion one- to two-celled and one- to two-seeded, the remains of the abortive cells and seeds usually remaining visible. Seeds without albumen, rounded or flattened by mutual pressure; seed-coat brown and coriaceous, marked by a large whitish hilum. Cotyledons thick and fleshy, unequal, cohering together by their contiguous faces, remaining in the seed-coat during germination.

About twelve species of Æsculus are known to occur in the wild state. They are natives of North America, Europe, and Asia. The genus was formerly divided into two sections, Pavia, with smooth fruit, and Hippocastanum, with spiny fruit; but this division is not a natural one. The following synopsis groups the species under sections, which are more natural, being dependent on the characters of the flowers and buds:—

I. Buds viscid. Calyx irregularly campanulate, four- to five-

 "It is no depot," said Hatteras; "it is a tomb."

When the corpse was entirely disinterred, it proved to be that of a young man of not more than thirty years of age. He wore the common dress of Arctic navigators, and the Doctor could not form an opinion as to the date of his death, for the body was in a state of perfect preservation.

Ere long, a second corpse was dug out, a man about fifty apparently, whose countenance bore traces of evident suffering.

"These men have never been buried!" exclaimed the Doctor. "They have met their death by just such an accident as almost befell ourselves."

"You are right, Mr. Clawbonny," replied Bell.

"Go on," said Hatteras.

Bell felt half afraid, for who could say how many more bodies might be under that heap of ice?

"Their snow hut has fallen in," said the Doctor. "Perhaps some poor fellow may be still living under the mass. Let us see."

The whole mass was speedily cleared away, and a third body dragged out; that of a man about forty. His appearance was not so cadaverous as the others, and on examining him closely, the Doctor thought he could perceive some faint tokens of life.

"He is not dead!" he exclaimed, lifting him up with Bell's assistance, and carrying him into the hut; while Hatteras stood motionless and unconcerned, contemplating the scene of the catastrophe.

The Doctor proceeded to strip the exhumed man entirely, and finding no trace of any wound about him, set to work, with Bell, to try the effect of vigorous friction with wisps of tow steeped in spirits of wine. By slow degrees they succeeded in restoring some animation, but the poor fellow was in such a state of utter exhaustion, that he was quite unable to articulate, and his tongue stuck to the roof of his mouth as if frozen.

Leaving Bell to continue the treatment, Dr. Clawbonny searched the pockets of his patient to see if he could find any letters or papers. But they were empty.

He went out to Hatteras, and found him standing with the half-burnt envelope of a letter in his hand, which he had
