He went to sleep in the cabin, which was full of large packages of tobacco, but was harassed by wild and frightful dreams, and suddenly awaked about midnight, bathed in a cold dew, and totally unable to speak or move. He knew, however, perfectly where he was, and recollected everything that had occurred the preceding day; he could not make any bodily effort whatever, and tried in vain to get up, or change his position. p73 The watch on deck struck four bells, and he counted them, though it seemed to him as if he did not hear the beat, but received the vibration through his body. About this time a seaman came into the cabin with a light, and carried away an hour-glass without observing the sufferer.
Shortly after a pane of glass was broken in the skylight, and he saw the fragments of glass drop on the floor. These circumstances which really occurred, are mentioned to show that Mr. H. experienced real sensations, and was not still under the influence of perturbed dreams. His inability to move was not accompanied by any pain or uneasiness, but he felt as if the principle of life had entirely departed from his frame. At length he became totally insensible, and continued so till an increase of wind made the sea a little rough, which caused the vessel to roll. The motion, he supposes, had the effect of awakening him from his trance, and he contrived somehow or other to get up and go on deck. His memory was totally lost for about a quarter of an hour; he knew that he was in a ship, but nothing more. While in this state he observed a man drawing water from the sea in buckets, and requested him to pour one on his head.

Oh, my head! at the same time clutching his forehead with his hands, and staring wildly about him. At one time, in great trepidation, he begged that some imaginary bottles should be taken out of the room; indeed; his conduct and appearance at this time were not unlike one suffering with delirium tremens.

The ophthalmoscope demonstrates an atopic condition of both optic nerves, the inner (apparent) half of each, seen in the reversed image, being quite white and non-vascular; the outer part being redder, and more vascular than normal. A examination of the numerous cases reported by Doctor Hutchinson reveals the following conditions common to all the cases; white or gray atrophy of the optic nerve (in a few cases the color was bluish-white), commencing at the outer part of the disk, usually with a sharply defined margin and diminishing size of retinal vessels; in a few cases there signs of congestion, and in two cases neuritis with indistinct outline of disk.

The vision failed suddenly in a few, rapidly in many; and in others the progress of the disease was fitful. Some complained of flashes of light, others of fog, but most simply of indistinctness of vision.
