The
reporter
slept
part
of
the
night
.
Pencroft
and
Herbert
took
turns
for
a
spell
of
two
hours
each
at
the
helm
.
The
sailor
trusted
Herbert
as
he
would
himself
,
and
his
confidence
was
justified
by
the
coolness
and
judgment
of
the
lad
.
Pencroft
gave
him
his
directions
as
a
commander
to
his
steersman
,
and
Herbert
never
allowed
the
"
Bonadventure
"
to
swerve
even
a
point
.
The
night
passed
quickly
,
as
did
the
day
of
the
12th
of
October
.
A
south-easterly
direction
was
strictly
maintained
.
Unless
the
"
Bonadventure
"
fell
in
with
some
unknown
current
she
would
come
exactly
within
sight
of
Tabor
Island
.
As
to
the
sea
over
which
the
vessel
was
then
sailing
,
it
was
absolutely
deserted
.
Now
and
then
a
great
albatross
or
frigate
bird
passed
within
gunshot
,
and
Gideon
Spilett
wondered
if
it
was
to
one
of
them
that
he
had
confided
his
last
letter
addressed
to
the
New
York
Herald
.
These
birds
were
the
only
beings
that
appeared
to
frequent
this
part
of
the
ocean
between
Tabor
and
Lincoln
Islands
.
"
And
yet
,
"
observed
Herbert
,
"
this
is
the
time
that
whalers
usually
proceed
towards
the
southern
part
of
the
Pacific
.
Indeed
I
do
not
think
there
could
be
a
more
deserted
sea
than
this
.
"
"
It
is
not
quite
so
deserted
as
all
that
,
"
replied
Pencroft
.
"
What
do
you
mean
?
"
asked
the
reporter
.
"
We
are
on
it
.
Do
you
take
our
vessel
for
a
wreck
and
us
for
porpoises
?
"
And
Pencroft
laughed
at
his
joke
.
By
the
evening
,
according
to
calculation
,
it
was
thought
that
the
"
Bonadventure
"
had
accomplished
a
distance
of
a
hundred
and
twenty
miles
since
her
departure
from
Lincoln
Island
,
that
is
to
say
in
thirty-six
hours
,
which
would
give
her
a
speed
of
between
three
and
four
knots
an
hour
.
The
breeze
was
very
slight
and
might
soon
drop
altogether
.
However
,
it
was
hoped
that
the
next
morning
by
break
of
day
,
if
the
calculation
had
been
correct
and
the
course
true
,
they
would
sight
Tabor
Island
.
