What They Lighted Upon In Further Searching The Craft, And The
Resolution They Came To
Descending1 into the cabin with Samoa, I bade him hunt up the brigantine's log, the captain's writing-desk, and nautical2 instruments; in a word, aught that could throw light on the previous history of the craft, or aid in navigating3 her homeward.
But nearly every thing of the kind had disappeared: log, quadrant, and ship's papers. Nothing was left but the sextant-case, which Jarl and I had lighted upon in the state-room.
Upon this, vague though they were, my suspicions returned; and I — closely questioned the Islander concerning the disappearance5 of these important articles. In reply, he gave me to understand, that the nautical instruments had been clandestinely6 carried down into the forecastle by Annatoo; and by that indefatigable7 and inquisitive8 dame9 they had been summarily taken apart for scientific inspection10. It was impossible to restore them; for many of the fixtures11 were lost, including the colored glasses, sights, and little mirrors; and many parts still recoverable, were so battered12 and broken as to be entirely13 useless. For several days
