"I ran across him In March of 1SS4 In
the Royal Infirmary at UlasKOW," said
Dr. Lindsay. ' It was certainly the
most interesting case I have ever had,
and, were it not for the patent con
celt involved in such an assertion I
would go so far as to teijm It Ihe most
remarkable that has ever come into
the practice ot any physician.
"Why don't I write it up? Well, 1 11
give you the facts and let yen answer
that question for yourself.
At that time I was one of the visit
ing Htuti at the lnllrmary. I had
studied in Paris with Charcot and had
made something of a specialty of nerv
ous disorders. There was a young
house-surgeon named McLeod with
whom I becnme quite intimate, largely
because I found that he liked to go
further into his cases than do most
hospital attaches, and I had asked him
once to be sure to notify me If any
thing unusual in my line should turn
up.
Well, on the night of which I am go
ing to tell you, I was preparing to re
tire and had about half undressed. It
was after ten, and I had had a hard
day.
Suddednly my night bell rang vio
lently. Throwing on my coat and trousers
again, I hurried to the door and opened
itL to find one of the infirmary porters
standing outside.
"What is It, Sandy?" I asked, in some
surprise; for the visiting staff are not
usually rung up at night for hospital
cases.
"I'lease. sir," said he, "Dr. McLeod
told me to ask ye to step around that
he had what he thought ye'd like."
I knew rtiat McLeod would not have
sent such a messuge without reason,
bo, after hurrying on a few clothes In
more permanent shape, I started.
It must have been nearly eleven
o'clock when I reached the infirmary
and McLeod met me at the door of
his room.
"Come in a minute," he said. "It's
a cold night and a hot whisky won't
hurt you. I hope you haven't damned
me for sending fur you, but I know
you would never forgive me if I had
not."
"What is it?" I asked, sitting down,
while he liourcd the hot water into my
glass.
"Well," said he, "it's a man who was
brought in here at half-after nine a
seafaring man, I should Judge. Any
how, he came off a whaler that's Just
in port after a throe years' cruise in
the Arctic."
"What's the matter with him?"
"I don't know. Come aud see if you
do."
Finishing my whisky, I followed Mc
Leod Into one of the private wards.
-"I put him In here." said the in
terne, "because well, because I
thought it was worth while."
In a moment I was deep in my exam
ination, and, from the first glimpse
I had of the patient as he tossed rest
lessly on his cot, I realized that It was
the case of my life of the lives of a
thousand men.
He was a young fellow not over
thirty, I am sure; though his hair,
mustache and beard were snowy white.
His face wore a curious expression,
which, though set In almost rigid lines,
seemed to shift from time to time in its
interpretation. At one moment I r?ad
dazed astonishment, at another terror,
at another awe, and yet again the look
was one that, while It froze the blood
In my veins, could be attributed to no
sentiment with which I was familiar.
The men was not what you could call
delirious, and I am sure he was not
insane; but It was quite evident, upon
a very superficial examination, that his
nerves hud received a shock that made
him to all intents and purposes irre
sponsible. Beyond this, I could find no
pathological condition.
I have omitted as yet to mention one
thing a broad, deep scar that
stretched across his forehead from tem
ple to temple and seemed to have gone
down to the frontal bone. It did not
appear to be wholly the result of either
a burn or a cut, though it showed
characteristics of both. Perhaps It
can best be described as such a scar
as might have been left from the slash
I HURRIED TO THE DOOR.
of a sword that had been heated red
hot. For the rest it was quite evident
that the wound was at least six months
old, and that it had healed very clean
ly, considering how serious it must
have been. 1 also took occasion to
satisfy myself that the skull had not
been injured in the least.
When I had finished my examination,
I turned to McLeod.
"A case of profound shock to the
nerve centers," I said, "with perhaps a
cerebral lesion and possibly connect
ed with that scar. I will stop in in the
morning and see what more I can make
out."
"I don't think he'll be alive by morn
ing," said the Interne. "That' the
reason I Bent for you tonight"
I examined the man again and more
carefully. Then I said:
"Really, I see no ground for Imme
diate apprehension,"
"Wait till one of the paroxysms
comes on," replied McLeod.
"Have you talked with him?" I
asked.
"No," he said, with an odd emphasis,
"but he's talked, and I've listened till
I don't quit know whether I'm sane
or not."
Almost as my companion spoke the
man on the cot straightened himself
out with every cord and muscle abso
lutely rigid. His eyes seemed staring
from their sockets and he threw up his
hands as if to ward off some Impending
blow. At the same moment his lips be-g-vn
to move, while from them came
words, hurried yet disconnected, like
the babbling of a dilld.
"Gone gone yes, gone and dead.
What's the use o' throwln' 'em over
board? They're frozen stiff enough an
they're more company. North: That's
the way we're bound me and the dead
men; an' the pack an' the drift are
doln' all the. work Bar mister, mebbe

that beant a good un on the pack an'
the drift. Olij yes, I know how to take
reckonin.' Ye can't fool me. I'm fur
ther north now han any live man's
been, an' I'm agoin' to the pole." His
voice rose to a shriek as he uttered the
last words. Then, after a brief .silence,
he resumed his babbling tone: "An
open Polar sea Is it? an' mebbe I don't
know as how it's open that's when ye
get far enough to find It get through
th' Ice wall that God s built. Ice feels
a bit like lire, don't It?"
He imused here, leered at us cunning
ly, and continued:
"Mebbe ye don't think God built it,
and mebbe again ye don't know why
He done it. The learnln men don't
know everything they don't, but I
know more than all on 'em. Tes, an'
more than the Bible folks, either."
At this point the patient began to
mumble Indistinctly and we had to
bend close to catch his words.
"Yes. yes, there do be a open Polar
sea there do be one sure enough; an'
I've been on it an' crossed it me and
the dead men when we come out o'
the Ice an' I had to throw 'em over-
"ME AN' THR DTCAD MF.N, ONLY
THE DEAD MKN DIDN'T MAT
TER." board one by one, for they thawed out
that's what they done In th' open
Polar sea. Mebbe ye don't believe they
thawed out there?" and he raised his
voice again, glaring at us dellnntly.
"Tho most natural thing in the world,
my good man," said I soothingly, at
the same time placing my hand upon
his forehead and exerting myself in a
way which I have sometime found to
produce a semi-hypnotic effect on cer
tain patients. It seemed to have an
inlluence In the present case; for the
man grew calmer almost immediately,
and, hitching himself over nearer to
the side of the cot, turned toward me
nn inquiring glance. Then, after a
pause, he suld In slower and quieter
tones:
" 'In the beglnnin' the stars revolved
in a tholiform manner.' That's Diog
enes Laertius. Mebbe ye never read
him?"
To say that I was astonished at
such an apparent sign of erudition,
would be putting it mildly; though I
hardly Imagined that the remark meant
more than the disconnected wander
ings of a mind that had run across
more or less queer learning a not un
usual thing among the laboring classes
of the lowland Scotch, among whom I
placed my patient.
" 'There shall be no night there' do
ye mind that?" he went on, still eye
ing me closely and witn anything but
the look of a delirious man.
A shade of apparent disappointment
crossed his face as he peered into what
must have been the blankness of mine.
Then, drawing himself still closer, he
said:
"Mebbe ye never read th' Avista
where it says look how I remember
it now: 'O Maker o' the material
world, thou Holy One! What lights
are there in the Vara which Yima
made?' Vara, I take it, beln' the garden
an' Yima a sort o' heathen Adam. An'
here's what Aluno Mazda answered:
'There are unert-ated lights an" created
lights. There the stars, the moon an
the sun, are only once a year seen to
rise an' set, an" a year seems only a
day.' There, sir, ain't I a memory for a
seafarin' man?" and he fell back upon
the cot and eyed ine with a look of
undisgulsfced triumph.
As for me, astonishment was still my
controlling sensations, but through It
all I began to imagine that I saw a
gleam of light strange, weird and in
convcivable. As luck would have it, I
happened to know that the Vista was
the book that contained the ancient
Iranian theology, though I had never
been ambitious enough to try to ex
amine it. My hand still rested upon
the patient's brow and perhaps that
prompted me to ask, causually:
"How did you get that wound, my
good man?"
The trimuphant look on his face fad
ed into an expression of unutterable
awe, and I found myself shivering al
most before me answered:
"Th" angel o' the Lord."
That answer decided me. The man
was undoubtedly insane, and, as If to
confirm my diagonxis, he burst out the
next moment into another tirade of
words.
"Yes; through the Ice. wall through
an' through it, an' the Lord only knows
why He let us through me an' the
dead men, only the dead men didn't
matter. They couldn't cat o' three, but
I could an" landed clear an' free at the
gate o' the garden nn' I seen it nil, with
the flowers a growln' an' the trees an'
the gold fruit In the branches, an' then

"Who?" I asked, breathless.
'Th' angel, o' course; an' I heerd him
call out like the thunder an' the fire
was a-flashin' in his hand an' then
I felt it over me eyes an' down I goes
oh! Ye don't know no other man, I
vow, what's been slashed wl' th' sword
o' an angel an' lived to tell o' It; say
now, do ye, sir?"
PART II.
I quieted him as well as I could, and
McLeod and I took turns watching till
morning. We said little to each other,
but, when the day broke, I think my
companion was surprised to find that
the patient appeared to be no worse.
He lay very quiet now, and had not
attempted to speak for several hours.
A little later I looked at my watch.
Then I rose.
"Not going, are you?" asked Mc
Leod. "Yes," said I, "but not for long. I'm
going to stop at Ferguron's to ask him
to make my calls today. Then I'm go
ing down to find the man's ship and
learn what I can of the history of the
case. He'll be alive all right when I
get back." I added, noting McLeod's
look of doubt.
My companion said nothing, how
ever, being unwilling, perhaps, to haz
ard another adverse opinion in view
of his first error on the subject.
I .caught Ferguson and arranged mat
ters with him. Then I got a bite of
breakfast and proceeded to find the
ship from which the infirmary regis
ter showed that my patient had come,
an American whaler named the Har
poon; that had touched for supplies. -
This was hot, a.kmg Job, and, Intro
ducing myself to. the captain, I soon
found myself -lit hta cabin with a
steaming glass before me. - He-was ap
parently a man of good education, and
divined my-errand even before I stated
It.
"I wish I could tell you more," he
said, but as far as we are concerned,
the yarn's a short one. On June 28
of last year we were in latitude seventy-five
degrees, thirty minutes north,
tnl about twenty, miles off the east
coast of Greenland, when the lookout
reported a small boat with something
looking like a man's body lying across
the thwarts. I gave orders to change
the course, and sure enough, that's
what It was, and, to make a long story
short, we found ho was alive and got
him aboard. Oddly enough, he didn't
seem to have been on short al owance,
yet alone starved; and there wasn't a
mark on him but that queer slash
across his brow, which I don't know
whether it was a burn or a cut It
evidently hadn't bled much, and it
wasn't over two days old, I should
Judge. Well, as I said, we got him
aboard, brought him to, and tried to
make him comfortable and get his
yarn; but, Lord bless you sir, there
wasn't any reason in his talk. He Jest
raved about Ice walls and open polar
seas and angels and flaming swords
and all that sort of stuff. The only
thing that we could get connectedly
was that he'd belonged to a ship that
had been lost in the ice up Baflin's
bay, which was a He, seeing that we
found him on the other side of Green
land in one of his ship's boats."
"Did the boat have any name on it?"
I asked.
"Yes 'Melpomene;' but I never
heard of such a ship."
Well, there was nothing for it but
to thank the captain and get back to
the infirmary. On the way, however,
it occurred to me to stop In at Lloyd's
agency and And out If they had any
knowledge of such a vessel as the Mel
pomene. The result was all that I
could have hoped for, being as follows:
" 'Melpomene' whaling bark New
Bedford, Mass., U. S. A. Spoken June
10. 1S83, by ship John Mcpherson, of
Glasgow Reported Icebound. Latitude
eighty degrees fifteen minutes north,
longitude seventy degrees ten minutes
west. Crew refused assistance. Cap
tain of John McPherson reports sudden
movement of pack northward within
ensuing twelve hours and narow es
cape of his ship. Entertains grave
fears of safety of Melpomene."
"Let me see," said I to the clerk who
had attended me, "is there nothing
later? This entry is a year old, and
have you no other Melpomene on your
list?"
He glanced at his Index, and then at
the emry again.
"No," said he. "That seems to be all.
There is hardly a doubt but that the
bark was lost. I hope you had no in
terest in her, sir?"
I answered vaguly, thanked him and
hurried out Into the street, for my
mind was full of the strange conflict
of evidence which the facts disclosed.
1 knew enough Arctic geography to
place eigthy degrees north almost at
the southern entrance to Kennedy's
channel, and for any ship or boat or
man to get from there around Cupe
Farewell and u to latitude seventy
live degrees of the east coast of Grene
land in eighteen days was simly im
possible. Besides tho Melpomene was
being carried north when last seen.
I could conceive of no reconciling hy
pothesis, and yet the conflicting tes
timonies were Incontrovertible. In this
frame of mind I reached the Infirmary
and found McLeod, where I had left
him by the patient's tot.
The condition of the latter did not
seem to have changed materially. Per
haps the pulse was a shade weaker,
save on the other hand, he was quiet,
but for a slight nervous twitching, and
had been so ever since I left.
I now come to that part of my story
which I look back upon with more or
less self-reproach. That my conduct
was professional in the highest sense
ot the word, I am often driven to
doubt, however much I try to Justify
myself by the argument that a better
knowledge of the history of the ca.-e
was Indispensable to Its safest treat
ment When I am most frank, how
ever, as Is the case tonight, I am driv
en to admit that the prime motive of
6
"I WISH I COT'LD TELL YOU
MORE," HE SAID.
my final attempt to hypnotize my pa
tient was an overmastering curiosity,
and all that can be alleged in extenua
tion is that I hardly expected to be
successful In nn experiment in which
I had never fully succeeded, tnat none
of my former attempts had been at
tended with the slightest unfortunate
result, and that I had no earthly rea
son to anticipate any in the present
case. In fact I think I may honestly
say that when I placed my hand upon
the sick man's brow, as I had pre
viously done with a markedly soothing
effect, I had no definite intention of at
tempting to get him under psychic con
trol. Everything that followed mny
be said to have been simply the drift
of events.
As before, my, Influence seemed to
quiet the patient. The nervous
twitches ceased gradually, and, with
in a minute after contract, his regular
breathing denoted a peaceful and nat
ural sleep.
I suppose my mind, full as It was of
the Information gleaned through the
morning may have expressed In Its own
subtle language a desire for the knowl
edge it craved. Be that as it may, I
was startled a moment later by the
patient's rolling his head slowly from
side to side as If to escape my touch,
while, at the same Instant, he spoke in
drowsy tones that seemed to come from
a great distance.
"Do not trouble me. I do not know
how to tell it. I cannot understand."
It was here that my error, if error
It were, took shape. Surprised at words
that surely evidenced the hypnotic
state, I at once exerted myself to the
full and a few passes with my free
hand seemed to overcome all resist
ance. "But you must tell me," I said. "It
Is necessary for me to know in order to
treat you properly."
"What shall I tell?" he asked. In
the same dull tones.
"Where was your ship when she was
caught in the Ice?"
"Near Kennedy's channel.'
"When was that?"
"I do not remember. Last year
June, I think."
He was speaking now with no shadow
of a dialect, which I took to Indicate
that he had been born of parents who
talked good English, and that his
speech of the night before, which I
confess had somewhat puzzled me, had
been merely the result of long asso
ciation with rough seafaring men of
different nationalities.
"In wnat direction were you car
ried?" was my next question.
"North."
"How far?"
"To the Pole."
For a moment I almost lost control
of him from sheer astonishment. Then
I gathered myself for the next ques
tion. "How do you know?
. "I took the observation at eighty
nine degrees thirty-eight minutes
north and"
"Where were your captain and offi
cers?" I asked, foolishly interrupting
him In my excitement.
"Dead and overboard. They all
starved and froze when we drifted
through the Ice-wall all but the sec
ond mate, and he went crazy when he
saw the rift iri the wall close behla
if w tip i w a i o -
us. He came at me with a capstan
bar and I had to kill him. He'd have
lived and killed me if I hadn't We
were in the open sea then and It was
warm.
"And you reached the Pole?"
"Yes.
"What did you find there?"
"The place where men first lived.
What else means the tradition of every
ancient race that their fathers came
from the north? Where did the earth
cool first? Where wus it first habit
able? Where else do the stars revolve
'in a tholiform manner,' and where else
does 'the sun set only once a year,'
and 'a year seem only a day?' You are
blind blind, all of you."
Trembling with excitement I put my
next question:
"But what did you see?"
For the first time since I had begun
to question him, he hesitated and
"IT WAS TUF.ES AND FOLWERS
AND GOLD FRUIT."
seemed to struggle against my Influ
ence, writhing under my hand, while
the perspiration stood out In beads
upon his face. I, for my part, was now
fully absorbed In my effort and labored
with all my force to subdue him. At
last the answer came, but In a way
that showed that he had In part es
caped me and that his brain was act
ing, in a measure ut least, upon its own
impulse.
"How can I tell what I saw? It was
trees and flowers and gold fruit, and
all hazy with summer and birds and
butterflies and bright light."
"Did you go among the trees?"
His voice rose to a shriek, as it had
once before, and he cried out:
"Go omong them, man! It was Para
dise Eden! The tree o' life, was there
and th' angel with the flamln' sword
Do. ye see the mark on me brow? That's
where he smote me when I tried to go
In for I didn't core It I lived or not;
an' then the Harpoon's men picked me
up an' they say as how it was down
the east coast, which I don't rightly
understand."
"Eden at the north pole?" I ejacu
lated, reverting for an instance to my
insanity theory.
"Yes, that's where it was, and that's
where It is, an' if ye don't believe hie
I'll go back and show It ye all. Will
yo go with me now back to th' Gar
den o' Eden which I've been to an'
seen an' where I'll go agnln Will ye
go? Are ye man enough to go?0
Gawd!" ,
The last words came out in a yell
that rang through the Infirmary from
foundation to roof. As nearly as I can
tell you, what happened was this and
it happened all at once. I felt a pain as
of lire shoot through the hand that lay
upon the man's forehead. Instinctive
ly I Jumped back while, at the same
moment and as the thrilling cry burst
from his Hps, he bounded upright in
the bed and then fell backward.
The agony in my hand passed as
quickly as it had come, and I turned at
once to my patient.
He was stone dead, while across his
brow from temple to temple the healed
scar was again a gaping wound such
