o have made an end.

It seems that the _President_ had been abandoned two years and five
months by her crew before the _Lightning_ sighted her on the ice. Her
people had stuck to her for eight months, then made off in a body with
the boats, carrying their captain and mates along with them. They
regarded the situation of their ship as hopeless, and indeed, as it
turned out, they were not very wrong, so far as their notions of
reasonable detention went; for they never could have liberated the
vessel by their own efforts; they must have waited, as we had, for the
ice to free her; and this would have signified to them an imprisonment
of two years and a half over and above the eight months they had
already spent in her whilst ice-bound.

Sweers gave up the sea, started in business, and died, about ten years
since, a fairly well-to-do man. And shall I tell you what I did with
my thousand pounds? ... But my story has already run to greater length
than I had intended when sitting down to write it.
