This
is
the
reason
the
yacht
at
this
time
lay
off
the
coast
of
Australia
.
Six
months
before
,
a
bottle
,
enclosing
a
document
written
in
English
,
German
,
and
French
,
had
been
found
in
the
Irish
Sea
,
and
picked
up
by
the
'
Duncan
.
'
This
document
stated
in
substance
that
there
still
existed
three
survivors
from
the
wreck
of
the
'
Britannia
,
'
that
these
survivors
were
Captain
Grant
and
two
of
his
men
,
and
that
they
had
found
refuge
on
some
land
,
of
which
the
document
gave
the
latitude
,
but
of
which
the
longitude
,
effaced
by
the
sea
,
was
no
longer
legible
.
"
This
latitude
was
37deg
11
'
south
;
therefore
,
the
longitude
being
unknown
,
if
they
followed
the
thirty-seventh
parallel
over
continents
and
seas
,
they
would
be
certain
to
reach
the
spot
inhabited
by
Captain
Grant
and
his
two
companions
.
The
English
Admiralty
having
hesitated
to
undertake
this
search
,
Lord
Glenarvan
resolved
to
attempt
everything
to
find
the
captain
.
He
communicated
with
Mary
and
Robert
Grant
,
who
joined
him
.
The
'
Duncan
'
yacht
was
equipped
for
the
distant
voyage
,
in
which
the
nobleman
's
family
and
the
captain
's
children
wished
to
take
part
,
and
the
'
Duncan
,
'
leaving
Glasgow
,
proceeded
towards
the
Atlantic
,
passed
through
the
Straits
of
Magellan
,
and
ascended
the
Pacific
as
far
as
Patagonia
,
where
,
according
to
a
previous
interpretation
of
the
document
,
they
supposed
that
Captain
Grant
was
a
prisoner
among
the
Indians
.
"
The
'
Duncan
'
disembarked
her
passengers
on
the
western
coast
of
Patagonia
,
and
sailed
to
pick
them
up
again
on
the
eastern
coast
at
Cape
Corrientes
.
Lord
Glenarvan
traversed
Patagonia
,
following
the
thirty
-
seventh
parallel
,
and
having
found
no
trace
of
the
captain
,
he
re-embarked
on
the
13th
of
November
,
so
as
to
pursue
his
search
through
the
Ocean
.
"
After
having
unsuccessfully
visited
the
islands
of
Tristan
d'Acunha
and
Amsterdam
,
situated
in
her
course
,
the
'
Duncan
,
'
as
I
have
said
,
arrived
at
Cape
Bernouilli
,
on
the
Australian
coast
,
on
the
20th
of
December
,
1854
.
"
It
was
Lord
Glenarvan
's
intention
to
traverse
Australia
as
he
had
traversed
America
,
and
he
disembarked
.
A
few
miles
from
the
coast
was
established
a
farm
,
belonging
to
an
Irishman
,
who
offered
hospitality
to
the
travelers
.
Lord
Glenarvan
made
known
to
the
Irishman
the
cause
which
had
brought
him
to
these
parts
,
and
asked
if
he
knew
whether
a
three-masted
English
vessel
,
the
'
Britannia
,
'
had
been
lost
less
than
two
years
before
on
the
west
coast
of
Australia
.
"
The
Irishman
had
never
heard
of
this
wreck
,
but
,
to
the
great
surprise
of
the
bystanders
,
one
of
his
servants
came
forward
and
said
,
--
"
'
My
lord
,
praise
and
thank
God
!
If
Captain
Grant
is
still
living
,
he
is
living
on
the
Australian
shores
.
'
"
'
Who
are
you
?
'
asked
Lord
Glenarvan
.
