A fine day tempted Penny to ascend, with the object of obtaining a view of the vessels that were lying fast under a point of ice off Cape Boughton, and the fine lead of water all the way down to Mer- chant's Bay the best fishing-spot in Davis' s Strait in the season. " Just as I was regretting, " says Captain Penny, " the' great error of judgment that had led these captains to involve their ships with the ice, in the state it was in, Captain Anderson, of the Gleaner, called out, ' Penny, your b...oat's fast at your ship's stern/ I saw, at a glance, the harpooner had given her too much line ; and the loss of our first whale, Ice-bound Ships. 117 a few days before, made me anxious. I was off like a bird. The last I heard was, ' Good God !' and in- deed I needed His goodness, as I had to leap from block to block, and from side to side, to avoid the rolling, bounding boulders, set in motion by my descent. Stop I could not, until I stood on a fine, dark, sandy beach. But I was too late to save my whale ; she ran inside a large piece of ice, the boat being too far astern to follow her, turned sharply round the piece, and the lines went underneath and broke.
