Excerpt from Intermere
The Mistletoe, staunch, trim and buoyant, steamed across the equator under the glare of a midday sun from a fleckless sky, and began to ascend toward the antarctic circle.
Three days later we came in sight of a great bank of fog or mist, which stood like a gray wall of stone across the entire horizon, plunged into it and the sun disappeared - disappeared forever to all except one of the gay and careless crew and passengers.
For days, as was shown by the ships chronometers, we steamed slowly on our course, surrounded by an inky midnight, instinct with an oppressive and fearsome calm.
