Heart of Darkness summery 44-49(Chapter 2)

The journey became strange because Marlow think that is in a dream , he is cut off from all understanding of the world and feels like he has no memories ,also he finds himself identifying with the Africans natives hiding out in the bush , then Marlow start to talk about a cannibal fireman on board , he is the kind of fireman that start fires , not the kind of fireman that put them out , the fireman has been told that if the water in the boiler ever disappears the evil spirit inside will take revenge , that is how they make him work.Fifty miles before they arrive at the Inner station , they run across a pile of firewood and a wrning message "Approach cautiously",but Marlow and company continue foward , then they find an abondoned hut with a book inside.It`s entitled "An inquiry into some Points of Seamanship" and in a very bad conditions. Even though Marlow doesn`t understand it , it comforts him. It gives him more reality in what is happening in there.At sun down of the second day , they decide to stop and rest because the manager was very tired , the night stiil eerily. At dawn , a thick fog falls and they cannot see anything they hear persons shouting somewhere in the fog in resume they are freaking out.
