The
magnetic
needle
had
been
deviated
,
and
instead
of
marking
the
magnetic
north
,
which
differs
a
little
from
the
north
of
the
world
,
it
marked
the
northeast
.
It
was
then
,
a
deviation
of
four
points
;
in
other
words
,
of
half
a
right
angle
.
Tom
soon
recovered
from
his
drowsiness
.
His
eyes
were
fixed
on
the
compass
.
He
believed
,
he
had
reason
to
believe
,
that
the
"
Pilgrim
"
was
not
in
the
right
direction
.
He
then
moved
the
helm
so
as
to
head
the
ship
to
the
east
--
at
least
,
he
thought
so
.
But
,
with
the
deviation
of
the
needle
,
which
he
could
not
suspect
,
that
point
,
changed
by
four
points
,
was
the
southeast
.
And
thus
,
while
under
the
action
of
a
favorable
wind
,
the
"
Pilgrim
"
was
supposed
to
follow
the
direction
wished
for
,
she
sailed
with
an
error
of
forty-five
degrees
in
her
route
!
During
the
week
which
followed
that
event
,
from
the
14th
of
February
to
the
21st
,
no
incident
took
place
on
board
.
The
wind
from
the
northwest
freshened
gradually
,
and
the
"
Pilgrim
"
sailed
rapidly
,
making
on
an
average
one
hundred
and
sixty
miles
in
twenty-four
hours
.
It
was
nearly
all
that
could
be
asked
of
a
vessel
of
that
size
.
Dick
Sand
thought
the
schooner
must
be
approaching
those
parts
more
frequented
by
the
merchant
vessels
which
seek
to
pass
from
one
hemisphere
to
the
other
.
The
novice
was
always
hoping
to
encounter
one
of
those
ships
,
and
he
clearly
intended
either
to
transfer
his
passengers
,
or
to
borrow
some
additional
sailors
,
and
perhaps
an
officer
.
But
,
though
he
watched
vigilantly
,
no
ship
could
be
signaled
,
and
the
sea
was
always
deserted
.
Dick
Sand
continued
to
be
somewhat
astonished
at
that
.
He
had
crossed
this
part
of
the
Pacific
several
times
during
his
three
fishing
voyages
to
the
Southern
Seas
.
Now
,
in
the
latitude
and
longitude
where
his
reckoning
put
him
,
it
was
seldom
that
some
English
or
American
ship
did
not
appear
,
ascending
from
Cape
Horn
toward
the
equator
,
or
coming
toward
the
extreme
point
of
South
America
.
But
what
Dick
Sand
was
ignorant
of
,
what
he
could
not
even
discover
,
was
that
the
"
Pilgrim
"
was
already
in
higher
latitude
--
that
is
to
say
,
more
to
the
south
than
he
supposed
.
That
was
so
for
two
reasons
:
The
first
was
,
that
the
currents
of
these
parts
,
whose
swiftness
the
novice
could
only
imperfectly
estimate
,
had
contributed
--
while
he
could
not
possibly
keep
account
of
them
--
to
throw
the
ship
out
of
her
route
.
The
second
was
,
that
the
compass
,
made
inaccurate
by
Negoro
's
guilty
hand
,
henceforth
only
gave
incorrect
bearings
--
bearings
that
,
since
the
loss
of
the
second
compass
,
Dick
Sand
could
not
control
.
So
that
,
believing
,
and
having
reason
to
believe
,
that
he
was
sailing
eastward
,
in
reality
,
he
was
sailing
southeast
.
The
compass
,
it
was
always
before
his
eyes
.
The
log
,
it
was
thrown
regularly
.
His
two
instruments
permitted
him
,
in
a
certain
measure
,
to
direct
the
"
Pilgrim
,
"
and
to
estimate
the
number
of
miles
sailed
.
But
,
then
,
was
that
sufficient
?
