Why
not
?
"
replied
Pencroft
.
"
Port
Neb
,
that
would
do
very
well
!
And
Cape
Gideon
--
"
"
I
should
prefer
borrowing
names
from
our
country
,
"
said
the
reporter
,
"
which
would
remind
us
of
America
.
"
"
Yes
,
for
the
principal
ones
,
"
then
said
Cyrus
Harding
;
"
for
those
of
the
bays
and
seas
,
I
admit
it
willingly
.
We
might
give
to
that
vast
bay
on
the
east
the
name
of
Union
Bay
,
for
example
;
to
that
large
hollow
on
the
south
,
Washington
Bay
;
to
the
mountain
upon
which
we
are
standing
,
that
of
Mount
Franklin
;
to
that
lake
which
is
extended
under
our
eyes
,
that
of
Lake
Grant
;
nothing
could
be
better
,
my
friends
.
These
names
will
recall
our
country
,
and
those
of
the
great
citizens
who
have
honored
it
;
but
for
the
rivers
,
gulfs
,
capes
,
and
promontories
,
which
we
perceive
from
the
top
of
this
mountain
,
rather
let
us
choose
names
which
will
recall
their
particular
shape
.
They
will
impress
themselves
better
on
our
memory
,
and
at
the
same
time
will
be
more
practical
.
The
shape
of
the
island
is
so
strange
that
we
shall
not
be
troubled
to
imagine
what
it
resembles
.
As
to
the
streams
which
we
do
not
know
as
yet
,
in
different
parts
of
the
forest
which
we
shall
explore
later
,
the
creeks
which
afterwards
will
he
discovered
,
we
can
christen
them
as
we
find
them
.
What
do
you
think
,
my
friends
?
"
The
engineer
's
proposal
was
unanimously
agreed
to
by
his
companions
.
The
island
was
spread
out
under
their
eyes
like
a
map
,
and
they
had
only
to
give
names
to
all
its
angles
and
points
.
Gideon
Spilett
would
write
them
down
,
and
the
geographical
nomenclature
of
the
island
would
be
definitely
adopted
.
First
,
they
named
the
two
bays
and
the
mountain
,
Union
Bay
,
Washington
Bay
,
and
Mount
Franklin
,
as
the
engineer
had
suggested
.
"
Now
,
"
said
the
reporter
,
"
to
this
peninsula
at
the
southwest
of
the
island
,
I
propose
to
give
the
name
of
Serpentine
Peninsula
,
and
that
of
Reptile-end
to
the
bent
tail
which
terminates
it
,
for
it
is
just
like
a
reptile
's
tail
.
"
"
Adopted
,
"
said
the
engineer
.
"
Now
,
"
said
Herbert
,
pointing
to
the
other
extremity
of
the
island
,
"
let
us
call
this
gulf
which
is
so
singularly
like
a
pair
of
open
jaws
,
Shark
Gulf
.
"
"
Capital
!
"
cried
Pencroft
,
"
and
we
can
complete
the
resemblance
by
naming
the
two
parts
of
the
jaws
Mandible
Cape
.
"
"
But
there
are
two
capes
,
"
observed
the
reporter
.
"
Well
,
"
replied
Pencroft
,
"
we
can
have
North
Mandible
Cape
and
South
Mandible
Cape
.
"
