"I was glad when the shadow of the cliff passed from over me, and the
sun was once more in view.

"I now grew quite warm, though my great fatigue did not vanish; but I
was so anxious about the Dean that I would not sleep, and kept myself
awake by moving about all the time, staying always near the Dean. At
length, soon after the sun appeared, the boy began to show some
restlessness; and as I approached him, I found that his eyes were wide
open. He raised himself a little on one arm, and turned towards me as I
came up to him, and looked straight at me, so calmly and intelligently

fatigue you; tell me how you feel.' 'No,' answered he, 'it does not
fatigue me, and I want to collect myself. Things are getting clearer to
me. My memory returns to me gradually. I see the terrified crew. It was
but an instant. I heard the crash. The great body of the ice fell right
