I have finally found the 1899 text of Verne's _An Antartic Mystery_ (a/k/a
_The Sphinx of the Ice Fields_ and _The Mystery of Arthur Gordon Pym_) at the
Community College Library. This is Verne's sequal to Poe's _Narrative of
Arthur Gordon Pym._ It is a full fledged novel of some 360 pages--not exactly
Leo Tolstoy or Victor Hugo, but it is still long enough that it is apparent
why no one has produced a complete text side by side with Poe's AGP.

At present my editor is getting impatient with me (they do that sometimes) on
another project so I probably do need to go back to part 3 (of five) of my
collection of the works of John Woolman, 18th century American Friends
Minister and early opponant of slavery. But I do hope to start scanning the
text of SIF in the near future.
