Letter from Dr. Stanley to Dr. Fergusson written on board HMS Erebus July 12, 1845- Awe of the Arctic Exhibit 2024 NYPL

Transcript: My Dear Fergusson, having a few moments to spare before the letter bag is finally closed, I hasten to drop you a line to say that, although within the Arctic Circle , I'm not yet frozen to death and therefore in the land of the living and very jolly. We had a fairish passage out here but had a mighty gale of Cape Farewell, which sent us flying with closed topsails and courses to Cape Desolation, where in spite of the dismal name we found comfort. There's smooth water and a moderate breeze. These islands, and in fact, the whole of this western coast of Greenland, is the most barren and uninviting I ever beheld.

Some of the land is very high and serrated and has the appearance of being volcanic. On the bare rocks, large quantities of tripe-de-roche may be gathered, but as we were not reduced like our excellent captain on a former occasion to such a means of subsistence, no one I could find tried its qualities as a nutrient. We are completely surrounded with icebergs, some of them upwards of 200 feet high. They are, however, from the extreme heat disappearing fast and by their constant disruption, almost frightening your very life out of you.

I and a boat crew had a very narrow escape the other day out shooting. I had just fired and killed an eider duck when I observed that we had drifted closer to an immense iceberg, which I had previously noticed a day or two before in a decayed condition. I said to an officer who was with me "What luck it should come down by the sun!" And then ordered the men to pull quickly from our dangerous neighbor when it fell with a crash. Most stunning and awful to witness. There never was so lucky an escape. The discharge of my two barrels had no doubt hastened its overthrow. And although we were at a distance upwards of 100 yards, quite near enough we were knocked and tossed about by its displacement in the sea in a most uncomfortable manner.

The island swarms with mosquitoes and they are now flying about the gun room in all directions. They are the largest I ever beheld but not the most stinging. We sailed tonight for Lancaster Sound and the transport to dear old England with a report of our proceedings up to this period. At this season of the year, in this latitude, as you are aware there is no darkness. The sun never dips below the horizon. The nights I have there for devoted to shooting and the day to skinning and preserving the specimens I have killed. Since our arrival I have not slept more than 2 or 3 hours in 24. Goodsir is working harder than medusas and desires kindly to be remembered to you.

We are all sanguine and getting through the barrier into Beechey straits this year. Every one of the native Eskimos say this is the most open season they ever remember. And on the strength of our prospects I and the other officers have ordered letters to be directed to us at Panama and Kotzebue. The latter place will, of course, be the first port we shall make when we get through.

I have not a single man on the list and I have not had for several days. Sir John Franklin is not like the same person. He is so much improved in appearance and energy. He is almost always the first on deck and the last to leave it in all weathers. I must conclude now, old fellow, with best wishes and kind regards to Mrs. F and the bairns.

And believe me, your very sincere friend, Stephen S. Stanley. I had intended to have written to Fortnum and Masons. Pray tell them like a good soul that we are delighted with everything they furnished us and the members of the mess unanimously declare them to be trumps and we should be sorry to return before we have consumed all their good things.

찾았다, 수사학. 찾았어. 자네가 물어보던 그 창백빛 고래 말이다.

요 며칠간 집중해서 들은 결과, 안타깝게도 고래 이야기는 들리는게 없더군, 해안에 누군가가 고래를 칠해놓은 배를 비행 청소년들이 훔쳐갔다는 거 빼곤. 기록들 중에서도, 아무리 읽어도 그 처음 찾았던 보고서밖에 없었다.

하지만 답은 의외로 가까이 있었다. 레나가 해리한테 보내주는 낡은 미확인동물 잡지들 말인데- 그중 하나가 그 순경을 인터뷰했었고 우리는 그걸 읽게 됬다. 뭐, 엄밀히 말하면 해리가 읽은거지만.

어쨋든, 거기 써있기를, ���날 그 순경은 순찰돌 겸 술도 께기 위해 해변을 따라 걷고 있었다. "먼 바다쪽에서 희미한 소리가 들려 고갤 돌리자 [창백 속에서] 무언가가 움직이는 걸 봤다. 그리고 몇초 후, 창백이 바다속에서 뛰어올랐다." 여기까진 보고서에 나와있는 내용이지만, 이 다음 내용은 새로운 정보다.

"...멀리 떨어져 그 창백빛 덩어리를 쫓아 창백이 움직였다. 그 광경은 말로 설명할 수 없는 것이였다- 마치 기름이 물과 만나는 표면과 같았고 동시에 구름이 뭉개져 합쳐진 것같은 자연스러움이었다. 그리고 그 뒤로 거대한 그림자가 보였다. 갈라진 창백빛 꼬리를 향해, 전혀 어울리지 안는 어두운 물체가 잠시 벌어진 창백 사이로 보였다 사라졌다..."

그 고래 뒤에 무언가가 있었다, 수사학. 이것이 뭔진 모르지만.

Expert Tips for Successful Continental Fishing Expedition in Murrells Inlet

Murrells Inlet in South Carolina is considered one of the best destination for fishing enthusiast as there are plenty of fishes found in and around the waters of Murrells Inlet especially in the continental shelf area. The continental shelf is the landmass that juts into the ocean and its edge forms the divide between the deep sea & the continent.

Generally, the continental shelf is considered the best fishing ground because due to its depth many types of fish are found over here & in this article, we will discuss some tips that will help you in your continental fishing expedition in Murrells Inlet.

The Perfect Time & Tide

The continental shelf is the area from where you start your fishing expedition and when fishing in this area, the time is the most important factor that you need to keep in mind. There are many kinds of fishes that are particularly active during the tides especially when the tides are rising or falling.

When the tide moves in it stirs up nutrients and baitfish that helps in attracting the larger fishes and you need to aim for these timing of the tides when it is easy to net a big catch. That is why you will observe that many experienced folks head out to the sea during early mornings or late evenings as these are the timings for the tide to change.

Besides that, you can also have a look at the tide charts as it will help you have a clear understanding of the changing nature of the tides and then you can align your fishing expedition accordingly. Similarly, the phases of moon also induces tide and you must watch out for full moon and new moon when out for continental fishing.

Opt For Local Baits

Often it is observed that tourists visiting Murrells Inlet for fishing tours use fancy baits to lure the fishes and this is something that is not going to help you net a big catch. When you are in Murrells Inlet for your fishing expedition, you must focus on using local baits that are commonly used by the local fishermen in the area.

You can go for shrimp, mullet, and crabs that are commonly used as local baits in the area and the fishes are more likely to take your bait as they recognize a familiar food choice. Besides that, there are also seasonal baits that are used and you need to get in touch with the local bait shops or experienced anglers to get an idea about these items.

In addition to that, if you are using live bait then it is important to keep them alive by making sure they are stored properly with minimal handling. It is observed that the fresher the bait is the more likely of the fishes making a dash for it as they get attracted to the baits that replicate their natural prey.

Fish Near Formations

When you embark on your continental fishing expedition in Murrells Inlet then you will find that there are many natural and man-made structures like rocks, piers, and jetties that attract a large number of fish. Moreover, these formations are often used by many fish as shelter & to ambush other fishes.

Now, you must aim at fishing around these structures as you are more likely to find your catch hidden in these structures. You must target these areas by casting your fishing hook close to these formations just make sure that your line doesn’t develop any snag.

If you refer to the local maps then you would be able to locate many underwater formations where school of fish congregate and by targeting these areas you will have a decent catch.

Learn Fishing Techniques

While going for continental fishing it is important to learn the various fishing techniques that you need to employ for netting your catch. The way you cast your fishing rod is crucial in catching fishes that might be hiding around the structures or deep under the surface of water.

Your fishing technique must combine both long-distance and short-distance casting and you need to practice your skills so that you are not found wanting on the day of your fishing trip. Besides that, the more you practice, the lesser your chances of committing any error.

Finally

The above-discussed factors are some of the important tips that you need to follow when going for continental shelf fishing in Murrells Inlet. Besides these, you can also get to know some useful tips from your tour guide who is well experienced in guiding fishing enthusiasts in these areas.
