Nothing
could
be
more
complete
than
the
alteration
that
had
taken
place
in
my
feelings
since
the
night
of
the
appearance
of
the
daemon
.
I
had
before
regarded
my
promise
with
a
gloomy
despair
as
a
thing
that
,
with
whatever
consequences
,
must
be
fulfilled
;
but
I
now
felt
as
if
a
film
had
been
taken
from
before
my
eyes
and
that
I
for
the
first
time
saw
clearly
.
The
idea
of
renewing
my
labours
did
not
for
one
instant
occur
to
me
;
the
threat
I
had
heard
weighed
on
my
thoughts
,
but
I
did
not
reflect
that
a
voluntary
act
of
mine
could
avert
it
.
I
had
resolved
in
my
own
mind
that
to
create
another
like
the
fiend
I
had
first
made
would
be
an
act
of
the
basest
and
most
atrocious
selfishness
,
and
I
banished
from
my
mind
every
thought
that
could
lead
to
a
different
conclusion
.
632
Between
two
and
three
in
the
morning
the
moon
rose
;
and
I
then
,
putting
my
basket
aboard
a
little
skiff
,
sailed
out
about
four
miles
from
the
shore
.
The
scene
was
perfectly
solitary
;
a
few
boats
were
returning
towards
land
,
but
I
sailed
away
from
them
.
I
felt
as
if
I
was
about
the
commission
of
a
dreadful
crime
and
avoided
with
shuddering
anxiety
any
encounter
with
my
fellow
creatures
.
At
one
time
the
moon
,
which
had
before
been
clear
,
was
suddenly
overspread
by
a
thick
cloud
,
and
I
took
advantage
of
the
moment
of
darkness
and
cast
my
basket
into
the
sea
;
I
listened
to
the
gurgling
sound
as
it
sank
and
then
sailed
away
from
the
spot
.
The
sky
became
clouded
,
but
the
air
was
pure
,
although
chilled
by
the
northeast
breeze
that
was
then
rising
.
But
it
refreshed
me
and
filled
me
with
such
agreeable
sensations
that
I
resolved
to
prolong
my
stay
on
the
water
,
and
fixing
the
rudder
in
a
direct
position
,
stretched
myself
at
the
bottom
of
the
boat
.
633
Clouds
hid
the
moon
,
everything
was
obscure
,
and
I
heard
only
the
sound
of
the
boat
as
its
keel
cut
through
the
waves
;
the
murmur
lulled
me
,
and
in
a
short
time
I
slept
soundly
.
I
do
not
know
how
long
I
remained
in
this
situation
,
but
when
I
awoke
I
found
that
the
sun
had
already
mounted
considerably
.
The
wind
was
high
,
and
the
waves
continually
threatened
the
safety
of
my
little
skiff
.
I
found
that
the
wind
was
northeast
and
must
have
driven
me
far
from
the
coast
from
which
I
had
embarked
.
I
endeavoured
to
change
my
course
but
quickly
found
that
if
I
again
made
the
attempt
the
boat
would
be
instantly
filled
with
water
.
Thus
situated
,
my
only
resource
was
to
drive
before
the
wind
.
I
confess
that
I
felt
a
few
sensations
of
terror
.
I
had
no
compass
with
me
and
was
so
slenderly
acquainted
with
the
geography
of
this
part
of
the
world
that
the
sun
was
of
little
benefit
to
me
.
I
might
be
driven
into
the
wide
Atlantic
and
feel
all
the
tortures
of
starvation
or
be
swallowed
up
in
the
immeasurable
waters
that
roared
and
buffeted
around
me
.
I
had
already
been
out
many
hours
and
felt
the
torment
of
a
burning
thirst
,
a
prelude
to
my
other
sufferings
.
I
looked
on
the
heavens
,
which
were
covered
by
clouds
that
flew
before
the
wind
,
only
to
be
replaced
by
others
;
I
looked
upon
the
sea
;
it
was
to
be
my
grave
.
"
Fiend
,
"
I
exclaimed
,
"
your
task
is
already
fulfilled
!
"
I
thought
of
Elizabeth
,
of
my
father
,
and
of
Clerval
--
all
left
behind
,
on
whom
the
monster
might
satisfy
his
sanguinary
and
merciless
passions
.
This
idea
plunged
me
into
a
reverie
so
despairing
and
frightful
that
even
now
,
when
the
scene
is
on
the
point
of
closing
before
me
forever
,
I
shudder
to
reflect
on
it
.

Some
hours
passed
thus
;
but
by
degrees
,
as
the
sun
declined
towards
the
horizon
,
the
wind
died
away
into
a
gentle
breeze
and
the
sea
became
free
from
breakers
.
But
these
gave
place
to
a
heavy
swell
;
I
felt
sick
and
hardly
able
to
hold
the
rudder
,
when
suddenly
I
saw
a
line
of
high
land
towards
the
south
.
635
Almost
spent
,
as
I
was
,
by
fatigue
and
the
dreadful
suspense
I
endured
for
several
hours
,
this
sudden
certainty
of
life
rushed
like
a
flood
of
warm
joy
to
my
heart
,
and
tears
gushed
from
my
eyes
.
636
How
mutable
are
our
feelings
,
and
how
strange
is
that
clinging
love
we
have
of
life
even
in
the
excess
of
misery
!
I
constructed
another
sail
with
a
part
of
my
dress
and
eagerly
steered
my
course
towards
the
land
.
It
had
a
wild
and
rocky
appearance
,
but
as
I
approached
nearer
I
easily
perceived
the
traces
of
cultivation
.
I
saw
vessels
near
the
shore
and
found
myself
suddenly
transported
back
to
the
neighbourhood
of
civilized
man
.
I
carefully
traced
the
windings
of
the
land
and
hailed
a
steeple
which
I
at
length
saw
issuing
from
behind
a
small
promontory
.
As
I
was
in
a
state
of
extreme
debility
,
I
resolved
to
sail
directly
towards
the
town
,
as
a
place
where
I
could
most
easily
procure
nourishment
.
Fortunately
I
had
money
with
me
.
637
As
I
turned
the
promontory
I
perceived
a
small
neat
town
and
a
good
harbour
,
which
I
entered
,
my
heart
bounding
with
joy
at
my
unexpected
escape
.

As
I
was
occupied
in
fixing
the
boat
and
arranging
the
sails
,
several
people
crowded
towards
the
spot
.
They
seemed
much
surprised
at
my
appearance
,
but
instead
of
offering
me
any
assistance
,
whispered
together
with
gestures
that
at
any
other
time
might
have
produced
in
me
a
slight
sensation
of
alarm
.
As
it
was
,
I
merely
remarked
that
they
spoke
English
,
and
I
therefore
addressed
them
in
that
language
.
"
My
good
friends
,
"
said
I
,
"
will
you
be
so
kind
as
to
tell
me
the
name
of
this
town
and
inform
me
where
I
am
?
"
639
"
You
will
know
that
soon
enough
,
"
replied
a
man
with
a
hoarse
voice
.
"
Maybe
you
are
come
to
a
place
that
will
not
prove
much
to
your
taste
,
but
you
will
not
be
consulted
as
to
your
quarters
,
I
promise
you
.
"
640
I
was
exceedingly
surprised
on
receiving
so
rude
an
answer
from
a
stranger
,
and
I
was
also
disconcerted
on
perceiving
the
frowning
and
angry
countenances
of
his
companions
.
"
Why
do
you
answer
me
so
roughly
?
"
I
replied
.
"
Surely
it
is
not
the
custom
of
Englishmen
to
receive
strangers
so
inhospitably
.
"
