“ Captain!Something is moving on the ice.Look over there!”The sailor stood at the top of the mast(桅杆),high above the Captain.His hand pointed away from the ship,across the miles of ice that covered the sea.The Captain looked to the north,where the sailor was pointing.He saw something coming fast towards the ship across the ice.He put his telescope to his eye,and through it he could see the shapes of ten dogs pulling a sledge over the ice.He could also see the driver of the sledge-a huge figure,much bigger than a man.
