De matrozen stonden te blauwbekken

De matrozen stonden te blauwbekken op hun posten en waren blij toen de kapitein ze toestond om dikke wollen truien en vesten aan te trekken. Sommigen hadden zelfs gebreide mutsen, die tot over hun oren getrokken konden worden. Dat was een grappig gezicht.
Niemand klaagde openlijk, maar in het vooronder waren de meningen verdeeld. Sommigen wilden terugkeren, anderen waren nieuwsgierig en tuk op de winsten die ze zouden kunnen maken op het ijsberenbont.
Mijn vader stond met een rode neus op de voorplecht.
“Wat denk je Sheng-Du, is het de moeite waard om deze onbekende ijsvlakten te onderzoeken?”

Onder de boeg verijste het water nu steeds sneller. We konden er nog makkelijk doorheen breken, maar het was duidelijk, dat het niet lang meer zou duren voor het ijs zo dik was, dat onze jonk er niet meer tegen opgewassen zou zijn.
