# Hurliguerly — An Antarctic Mystery character guide > Hurliguerly in An Antarctic Mystery by Jules Verne. **Role:** supporting **Also known as:** Mr. Hurliguerly **First appearance:** 0001-ii-the-schooner-halbrane ## Snapshot The Halbrane's garrulous boatswain, a weather-wise old salt who reads the crew's discontent as shrewdly as he reads the sky. ## Who they are Hurliguerly is the captain's informal eyes and ears, trading frank talk with Jeorling about ice, wages, and the mutinous murmurings stirred up by Hearne. Cheerful but clear-eyed, he doubts Peters's visions of land yet never wavers in his own loyalty. His running commentary gives the voyage its human texture—and its earliest warnings that the crew's patience is running out. ## Relationships ### [Captain Len Guy](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/an_antarctic_mystery_se/characters/captain_len_guy) _professional_ Hurliguerly is the boatswain under Captain Guy, and they share a respectful working relationship. ### [Mr. Jeorling](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/an_antarctic_mystery_se/characters/mr_jeorling) _social_ Hurliguerly and Jeorling are acquaintances on the ship, with Hurliguerly often providing Jeorling with information. ### [Mr. Jeorling](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/an_antarctic_mystery_se/characters/mr_jeorling) _social_ Hurliguerly and Jeorling are acquaintances on the ship, with Hurliguerly often providing Jeorling with information. ### [Captain Len Guy](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/an_antarctic_mystery_se/characters/captain_len_guy) _professional_ Hurliguerly is the boatswain under Captain Guy, and they share a respectful working relationship. ### [Captain Len Guy](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/an_antarctic_mystery_se/characters/captain_len_guy) _professional_ Hurliguerly is the boatswain under Captain Guy, and they share a respectful working relationship. ## In the story ### [The Schooner Halbrane](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/an_antarctic_mystery_se/chapters/ii-the-schooner-halbrane) The boatswain of the Halbrane, who offers to help Jeorling secure passage. ### [Captain Len Guy](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/an_antarctic_mystery_se/chapters/iii-captain-len-guy) Boatswain of the Halbrane;
