Finally, after the shipwrecked mariners of the _Grampus_ had drifted no less than twenty-five degrees towards the south, they were picked up by the schooner _Jane_, of Liverpool, Captain William Guy.
Evidently, reason is not outraged by an admission of the reality of these facts, although the situations are strained to the utmost limits of possibility; but that does not surprise us, for the writer is the American magician-poet, Edgar Poe.

But from this moment onwards we shall see that no semblance of reality exists in the succession of incidents.
Arthur Pym and Dirk Peters were well treated on board the English schooner _Jane_.

In a fortnight, having recovered from the effects of their sufferings, they remembered them no more.

With alternations of fine and bad weather the _Jane_ sighted Prince Edward's Island on the 13th of October, then the Crozet Islands, and afterwards the Kerguelens, which I had left eleven days ago.
Three weeks were employed in chasing sea-calves; these furnished the _Jane_ with a goodly cargo.

It was during this time that the captain of the _Jane_ buried the bottle in which his namesake of the _Halbrane_ claimed to have found a letter containing William Guy's announcement of his intention to visit the austral seas.
On the 12th of November, the schooner left the Kerguelens, and after a brief stay at Tristan d'Acunha she sailed to reconnoitre the Auroras in 35 deg.
