You will rejoice to hear that no disaster has accompanied the | ||
commencement of an enterprise which you have regarded with such evil | ||
forebodings. I arrived here yesterday, and my first task is to assure | ||
my dear sister of my welfare and increasing confidence in the success | ||
of my undertaking. | ||
|
||
I am already far north of London, and as I walk in the streets of | ||
Petersburgh, I feel a cold northern breeze play upon my cheeks, which | ||
braces my nerves and fills me with delight. Do you understand this | ||
feeling? This breeze, which has travelled from the regions towards | ||
which I am advancing, gives me a foretaste of those icy climes. | ||
Inspirited by this wind of promise, my daydreams become more fervent | ||
and vivid. I try in vain to be persuaded that the pole is the seat of | ||
frost and desolation; it ever presents itself to my imagination as the | ||
region of beauty and delight. There, Margaret, the sun is for ever | ||
visible, its broad disk just skirting the horizon and diffusing a | ||
perpetual splendour. There—for with your leave, my sister, I will put | ||
some trust in preceding navigators—there snow and frost are banished; | ||
and, sailing over a calm sea, we may be wafted to a land surpassing in | ||
wonders and in beauty every region hitherto discovered on the habitable | ||
globe. Its productions and features may be without example, as the | ||
phenomena of the heavenly bodies undoubtedly are in those undiscovered | ||
solitudes. What may not be expected in a country of eternal light? I | ||
may there discover the wondrous power which attracts the needle and may | ||
regulate a thousand celestial observations that require only this | ||
voyage to render their seeming eccentricities consistent for ever. I | ||
shall satiate my ardent curiosity with the sight of a part of the world | ||
never before visited, and may tread a land never before imprinted by | ||
the foot of man. These are my enticements, and they are sufficient to | ||
conquer all fear of danger or death and to induce me to commence this | ||
laborious voyage with the joy a child feels when he embarks in a little | ||
boat, with his holiday mates, on an expedition of discovery up his | ||
native river. But supposing all these conjectures to be false, you | ||
cannot contest the inestimable benefit which I shall confer on all | ||
mankind, to the last generation, by discovering a passage near the pole | ||
to those countries, to reach which at present so many months are | ||
requisite; or by ascertaining the secret of the magnet, which, if at | ||
all possible, can only be effected by an undertaking such as mine. |
