Then
Mrs.
Weldon
,
turning
to
her
companions
,
"
And
now
,
my
friends
,
"
said
she
,
"
let
us
ask
Heaven
for
strength
and
courage
for
ourselves
.
"
762
Yes
!
They
could
not
too
earnestly
implore
the
aid
of
Him
who
can
do
all
things
,
for
their
situation
was
one
of
the
gravest
!
763
This
ship
which
carried
them
had
no
longer
a
captain
to
command
her
,
no
longer
a
crew
to
work
her
.
She
was
in
the
middle
of
that
immense
Pacific
Ocean
,
hundreds
of
miles
from
any
land
,
at
the
mercy
of
the
winds
and
waves
.

What
fatality
then
had
brought
that
whale
in
the
"
Pilgrim
's
"
course
?
What
still
greater
fatality
had
urged
the
unfortunate
Captain
Hull
,
generally
so
wise
,
to
risk
everything
in
order
to
complete
his
cargo
?
And
what
a
catastrophe
to
count
among
the
rarest
of
the
annals
of
whale-fishing
was
this
one
,
which
did
not
allow
of
the
saving
of
one
of
the
whale-boat
's
sailors
!
765
Yes
,
it
was
a
terrible
fatality
!
In
fact
,
there
was
no
longer
a
seaman
on
board
the
"
Pilgrim
.
"
Yes
,
one
--
Dick
Sand
--
and
he
was
only
a
beginner
,
a
young
man
of
fifteen
.
Captain
,
boatswain
,
sailors
,
it
may
be
said
that
the
whole
crew
was
now
concentrated
in
him
.
766
On
board
there
was
one
lady
passenger
,
a
mother
and
her
son
,
whose
presence
would
render
the
situation
much
more
difficult
.
Then
there
were
also
some
blacks
,
honest
men
,
courageous
and
zealous
without
a
doubt
,
ready
to
obey
whoever
should
undertake
to
command
them
,
but
ignorant
of
the
simplest
notions
of
the
sailor
's
craft
.
767
Dick
Sand
stood
motionless
,
his
arms
crossed
,
looking
at
the
place
where
Captain
Hull
had
just
been
swallowed
up
--
Captain
Hull
,
his
protector
,
for
whom
he
felt
a
filial
affection
.
Then
his
eyes
searched
the
horizon
,
seeking
to
discover
some
ship
,
from
which
he
would
demand
aid
and
assistance
,
to
which
he
might
be
able
at
least
to
confide
Mrs.
Weldon
.
He
would
not
abandon
the
"
Pilgrim
,
"
no
,
indeed
,
without
having
tried
his
best
to
bring
her
into
port
.
But
Mrs.
Weldon
and
her
little
boy
would
be
in
safety
.
He
would
have
had
nothing
more
to
fear
for
those
two
beings
,
to
whom
he
was
devoted
body
and
soul
.

The
ocean
was
deserted
.
769
Since
the
disappearance
of
the
jubarte
,
not
a
speck
came
to
alter
the
surface
.
All
was
sky
and
water
around
the
"
Pilgrim
.
"
The
young
novice
knew
only
too
well
that
he
was
beyond
the
routes
followed
by
the
ships
of
commerce
,
and
that
the
other
whalers
were
cruising
still
farther
away
at
the
fishing-grounds
.
770
However
,
the
question
was
,
to
look
the
situation
in
the
face
,
to
see
things
as
they
were
.
That
is
what
Dick
Sand
did
,
asking
God
,
from
the
depths
of
his
heart
,
for
aid
and
succor
.
What
resolution
was
he
going
to
take
?
