our tent. On the same day
we saw a large flock of

Today the water is
spangled with sea-jagsus,

We have seen numberless
white-whales feasting along
the edge of the ice, young

the ice we watched them
in the water below as turning
and twisting their bodies at
all angles. Many were
swimming belly up!
