Who is keeping a tryst?

A trist with whom?

Some vague perception began to dawn upon me.

As I pieced one fact with another.

But I was utterly unprepared for the sequel.

By the sudden intensity of his attitude, I felt that he saw something.

I crept up behind him.

He was staring with an eager, questioning gaze at what seemed to be a wreath of mist blown swiftly in a line with the ship.

It was a dim, nebulous body, devoid of shape, sometimes more, sometimes less apparent as the light fell on it.

The moon was dimmed in its brilliancy at the moment by a canopy of thinnest clouds.

Like the coating of an anemone.

Coming, las, coming, cried the skipper, in a voice of unfathomable tenderness and compassion.

Like one who soothes a beloved one by some favor long looked for, and is pleasant to bestow on

as to receive.

What followed happened in an instant.

I had no power to interfere.

He gave one spring to the top of the bulwarks and another which took him on to the ice, almost to the feet of the pale misty figure.

He held out his hand as if to clasp it.

and so ran into the darkness with outstretched arms and loving words.

I stood rigid and motionless, straining my eyes after his retreating form, until his voice died away in the distance.
