CAPTAIN LEN GUY I slept ill.

Again and again I "dreamed that I was dreaming." Now--this is an observation made by Edgar Poe--when one suspects that one is dreaming, the waking comes almost instantly.

I woke then, and every time in a very bad humour with Captain Len Guy.

The idea of leaving the Kerguelens on the _Halbrane_ had full possession of me, and I grew more and more angry with her disobliging captain.
In fact, I passed the night in a fever of indignation, and only recovered my temper with daylight.

Nevertheless I was determined to have an explanation with Captain Len Guy about his detestable conduct.
