Danforth was a great reader of bizarre material,
and had talked a good deal of Poe. I was
interested myself because of the Antarctic scene
of Poe’s only long story—the disturbing and
enigmatical Arthur Gordon Pym. On the barren
shore, and on the lofty ice barrier in the
background, myriads of grotesque penguins
squawked and flapped their fins; while many fat
seals were visible on the water, swimming or
sprawling across large cakes of slowly drifting ice.
