" Johnson stopped for a moment, and gazed at the ill-fated shore, thenhe went on:-- "After losing sight of our companions, we tried at first to shelterourselves under the cover of our sledge, but i...n vain; then with ourknives we began to cut a house in the ice. Mr. Bellot sat down forhalf an hour, and talked with us about the danger of our situation; Itold him I was not afraid. 'With God's protection, ' he said, 'not ahair of our heads shall be hurt. ' I then asked him what time it was. He answered, 'About quarter past six. ' It was quarter past six in themorning of Thursday, August 18th.
