They
are
inscribed
,
"
said
Spilett
.
"
There
is
only
the
point
at
the
southeastern
extremity
of
the
island
to
be
named
,
"
said
Pencroft
.
"
That
is
,
the
extremity
of
Union
Bay
?
"
asked
Herbert
.
"
Claw
Cape
,
"
cried
Neb
directly
,
who
also
wished
to
be
godfather
to
some
part
of
his
domain
.
In
truth
,
Neb
had
found
an
excellent
name
,
for
this
cape
was
very
like
the
powerful
claw
of
the
fantastic
animal
which
this
singularly-shaped
island
represented
.
Pencroft
was
delighted
at
the
turn
things
had
taken
,
and
their
imaginations
soon
gave
to
the
river
which
furnished
the
settlers
with
drinking
water
and
near
which
the
balloon
had
thrown
them
,
the
name
of
the
Mercy
,
in
true
gratitude
to
Providence
.
To
the
islet
upon
which
the
castaways
had
first
landed
,
the
name
of
Safety
Island
;
to
the
plateau
which
crowned
the
high
granite
precipice
above
the
Chimneys
,
and
from
whence
the
gaze
could
embrace
the
whole
of
the
vast
bay
,
the
name
of
Prospect
Heights
.
Lastly
,
all
the
masses
of
impenetrable
wood
which
covered
the
Serpentine
Peninsula
were
named
the
forests
of
the
Far
West
.
The
nomenclature
of
the
visible
and
known
parts
of
the
island
was
thus
finished
,
and
later
,
they
would
complete
it
as
they
made
fresh
discoveries
.
As
to
the
points
of
the
compass
,
the
engineer
had
roughly
fixed
them
by
the
height
and
position
of
the
sun
,
which
placed
Union
Bay
and
Prospect
Heights
to
the
east
.
But
the
next
day
,
by
taking
the
exact
hour
of
the
rising
and
setting
of
the
sun
,
and
by
marking
its
position
between
this
rising
and
setting
,
he
reckoned
to
fix
the
north
of
the
island
exactly
,
for
,
in
consequence
of
its
situation
in
the
Southern
Hemisphere
,
the
sun
,
at
the
precise
moment
of
its
culmination
,
passed
in
the
north
and
not
in
the
south
,
as
,
in
its
apparent
movement
,
it
seems
to
do
,
to
those
places
situated
in
the
Northern
Hemisphere
.
Everything
was
finished
,
and
the
settlers
had
only
to
descend
Mount
Franklin
to
return
to
the
Chimneys
,
when
Pencroft
cried
out
,
