The
possible
fault
which
he
attributed
to
errors
in
the
observation
was
,
it
may
be
seen
,
of
five
degrees
on
both
sides
,
which
,
at
sixty
miles
to
a
degree
,
would
give
an
error
of
three
hundred
miles
in
latitude
and
longitude
for
the
exact
position
.
But
this
error
would
not
influence
the
determination
which
it
was
necessary
to
take
It
was
very
evident
that
Lincoln
Island
was
at
such
a
distance
from
every
country
or
island
that
it
would
be
too
hazardous
to
attempt
to
reach
one
in
a
frail
boat
.
In
fact
,
this
calculation
placed
it
at
least
twelve
hundred
miles
from
Tahiti
and
the
islands
of
the
archipelago
of
the
Pomoutous
,
more
than
eighteen
hundred
miles
from
New
Zealand
,
and
more
than
four
thousand
five
hundred
miles
from
the
American
coast
!
And
when
Cyrus
Harding
consulted
his
memory
,
he
could
not
remember
in
any
way
that
such
an
island
occupied
,
in
that
part
of
the
Pacific
,
the
situation
assigned
to
Lincoln
Island
.
The
next
day
,
the
17th
of
April
,
the
sailor
's
first
words
were
addressed
to
Gideon
Spilett
.
"
Well
,
sir
,
"
he
asked
,
"
what
shall
we
do
to-day
?
"
"
What
the
captain
pleases
,
"
replied
the
reporter
.
Till
then
the
engineer
's
companions
had
been
brickmakers
and
potters
,
now
they
were
to
become
metallurgists
.
The
day
before
,
after
breakfast
,
they
had
explored
as
far
as
the
point
of
Mandible
Cape
,
seven
miles
distant
from
the
Chimneys
.
There
,
the
long
series
of
downs
ended
,
and
the
soil
had
a
volcanic
appearance
.
There
were
no
longer
high
cliffs
as
at
Prospect
Heights
,
but
a
strange
and
capricious
border
which
surrounded
the
narrow
gulf
between
the
two
capes
,
formed
of
mineral
matter
,
thrown
up
by
the
volcano
.
Arrived
at
this
point
the
settlers
retraced
their
steps
,
and
at
nightfall
entered
the
Chimneys
;
but
they
did
not
sleep
before
the
question
of
knowing
whether
they
could
think
of
leaving
Lincoln
Island
or
not
was
definitely
settled
.
