Sarah Block stayed on the vessel.

She had been on shore when she had arrived at Cape Tariff in the Go Lightly, and her disgust with the methods of living in that part of the world had been freely expressed.

So long as she had perfectly comfortable quarters on board the good ship she did not wish to visit the low huts and extremely close quarters in which dwelt the people of the little colony.

Rovinski also remained on board, but not because he wanted to do so.

A watch was kept upon him; but as the Dipsey was anchored some distance from the landing-place, Mr.Marcy was of the opinion that if he attempted to swim ashore it might be well to let him do so, for if he should not be benumbed in the water into which he would plunge he would certainly be frozen to death as soon as he reached the shore.
The messages which came from Sardis as soon as news had been received of the safe return of the explorers were full of hearty congratulations and friendly welcome, but they were not very long, and Sammy said to Mr.
Gibbs that he thought it likely that this was one of Mr.Clewe's busy times.
