Not a razor , nor a brush , nor a drop of water , except the rain and the spray , had come near us all the time ; for we were on an allowance of fresh water ; and who would strip and wash himself in salt water on deck , in the snow and ice , with the thermometer at zero ? At twelve o'clock we went below , and had just got through dinner , when the cook put his head down the scuttle and told us to come on deck and see the finest sight that we had ever seen .
