1.) “…Pop would go one of the eight inch guns… and nothing happened. Nothing could happen…” (Conrad 19)
When a gun is shot is continues to slice through the air until some object stops it, the fact that nothing happened when the gun was fired is stating that they are so alone, in such complete solitude that there is nothing in the radius surrounding them that the bullet knowingly struck. While in the middle of a large body of water you are often overcome by a feeling of total solitude, there is nothing else there besides you and the ship for miles and miles.
