Halaman 234 - Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked. And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them.
Halaman ix - We are weak, writing is difficult; but for my own sake I do not regret this journey ; which has shown that Englishmen can endure hardship, help one another, and meet death with as great a fortitude as ever in the past.
Halaman ix - I do not think human beings ever came through such a month as we have come through, and we should have got through in spite of the weather but for the sickening of a second companion, Captain Oates, and a shortage of fuel in our depots for which I cannot account...

My enemies, however, by disputing their validity in every particular, have done me the good service of fixing the whole of the responsibility upon me.

But all the facts above enumerated were as nothing to the surprise which awaited us on the Barrier.
Halaman 109 - ... ages these had been selected for the closing scene of their existence. Certainly, none more likely to be free from disturbance of every kind could have been chosen, than these islets of a hidden lagoon of an uninhabited island [called by Captain F.
Halaman ix - Had we lived, I should have had a tale to tell of the hardihood, endurance, and courage of my companions which would have stirred the heart of every Englishman. These rough notes and our dead bodies must tell the tale...
Halaman 32 - Jackson so soon as the bad weather set in. On my asking the name of the captain of Le Naturaliste, he bethought himself to ask mine; and finding it to be the same as the author of the chart which he had been criticising, expressed not a little surprise, but had the politeness to congratulate himself on meeting me.
Halaman 234 - Neither shall men tear themselves for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead ; neither shall men give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.
