After a chill gust of wind there were a few seconds of perfect calm and absolute silence. … The white man, standing gazing upwards before the doorway, heard in the hut a confused and broken murmur of distracted words ending with a loud groan. Suddenly Arsat stumbled out with outstretched hands, shivered, and stood still for some time with fixed eyes. Then he said— “She burns no more.” Which event causes Arsat to shiver in “The Lagoon” by Joseph Conrad? The white man has reminded him of death. The mist is rising and the boatmen are singing. It has become cold and Diamelen has died. His guilt over his brother has distressed him.\

The reason for Arsat to shiver in "The Lagoon" by Joseph Conrad is that It has become cold and Diamelen has died.

After Diamelen died, Arsat realizes he has lost everything he ever loved. Further, the only image he has in his mind is her, hears only her voice, and tells the white man he cannot see anything anymore. To this, the white man answers "There is nothing" —nothing but fantasy, doubt, and the obscurity of the lagoon.
