 hands as likely to be useful to him. Old Andrew also frequently took an
opportunity of speaking to him, but his work occupied most of the day,
and when he went below he was generally too sleepy to sit long over a
book. Max and others also did their utmost to interrupt him, and he made
but little progress either in reading the Bible or any other of the
books which had been lent him. Still, in some respects, he was trying to
follow the good advice which the captain had given him. Weak, however,
are all our efforts when we trust to our own strength. Archy did not
seek assistance from the only source which can give it, and,
consequently, his good resolutions were soon scattered to the wind.

scenes he had only witnessed from a distance. How to manage it was the
difficulty. He knew that it would be of no use asking leave from the
captain, or any of the boat-steerers, for idlers were not allowed in the
boats. He had thought that he should at once engage in all the
adventures described by Max, and was one day expressing his
disappointment in his presence. "They will come time enough," observed
Max. "But if you have a fancy to see some sport, and may be to get
tossed in the air, or drowned, or have to spend a night on a floe, and
be well nigh frozen, as I have more than once, I'll give you a chance.
