The chase across the ice and the oath asked of Walton

1 A poor hamlet huddles on a snowy shore beside the rugged frozen ocean

2 On a moonlit night, the giant stands beside a sledge loaded with stolen winter food

3 On the frozen shore of the last hamlet, Victor rises from his despair.

4 A small loaded dog-sledge leaves the last hamlet for the endless Frozen Ocean

5 From an ice mountain, the exhausted pursuer spots a dark sledge far off and cries out

6 Spotting the fiend's sledge after three weeks of despair, Victor weeps aloud with hope

7 Victor sees the fiend's sledge a mile ahead and whips his dogs on in desperate hope

8 The ice cracks open with the force of an earthquake, just a mile short of the chase's end.

9 Victor Frankenstein kneels with his worn-out dogs on a small, crumbling ice floe

10 On a shrinking floe by his dead dogs, Victor stares in disbelief at a distant ship

11 Too weak to carry on the hunt, the dying Victor Frankenstein rises from his bunk in Walton's cabin.
