Cyrus
Harding
pointed
one
leg
of
the
compasses
to
the
horizon
,
the
other
to
Alpha
,
and
the
space
between
the
two
legs
gave
him
the
angular
distance
which
separated
Alpha
from
the
horizon
.
In
order
to
fix
the
angle
obtained
,
he
fastened
with
thorns
the
two
pieces
of
wood
on
a
third
placed
transversely
,
so
that
their
separation
should
be
properly
maintained
.
That
done
,
there
was
only
the
angle
to
calculate
by
bringing
back
the
observation
to
the
level
of
the
sea
,
taking
into
consideration
the
depression
of
the
horizon
,
which
would
necessitate
measuring
the
height
of
the
cliff
.
The
value
of
this
angle
would
give
the
height
of
Alpha
,
and
consequently
that
of
the
pole
above
the
horizon
,
that
is
to
say
,
the
latitude
of
the
island
,
since
the
latitude
of
a
point
of
the
globe
is
always
equal
to
the
height
of
the
pole
above
the
horizon
of
this
point
.
The
calculations
were
left
for
the
next
day
,
and
at
ten
o'clock
every
one
was
sleeping
soundly
.
The
next
day
,
the
16th
of
April
,
and
Easter
Sunday
,
the
settlers
issued
from
the
Chimneys
at
daybreak
,
and
proceeded
to
wash
their
linen
.
The
engineer
intended
to
manufacture
soap
as
soon
as
he
could
procure
the
necessary
materials
--
soda
or
potash
,
fat
or
oil
.
The
important
question
of
renewing
their
wardrobe
would
be
treated
of
in
the
proper
time
and
place
.
At
any
rate
their
clothes
would
last
at
least
six
months
longer
,
for
they
were
strong
,
and
could
resist
the
wear
of
manual
labor
.
But
all
would
depend
on
the
situation
of
the
island
with
regard
to
inhabited
land
.
This
would
be
settled
to-day
if
the
weather
permitted
.
The
sun
rising
above
a
clear
horizon
,
announced
a
magnificent
day
,
one
of
those
beautiful
autumn
days
which
are
like
the
last
farewells
of
the
warm
season
.
It
was
now
necessary
to
complete
the
observations
of
the
evening
before
by
measuring
the
height
of
the
cliff
above
the
level
of
the
sea
.
"
Shall
you
not
need
an
instrument
similar
to
the
one
which
you
used
yesterday
?
"
said
Herbert
to
the
engineer
.
"
No
,
my
boy
,
"
replied
the
latter
,
"
we
are
going
to
proceed
differently
,
but
in
as
precise
a
way
.
"
Herbert
,
wishing
to
learn
everything
he
could
,
followed
the
engineer
to
the
beach
.
Pencroft
,
Neb
,
and
the
reporter
remained
behind
and
occupied
themselves
in
different
ways
.
Cyrus
Harding
had
provided
himself
with
a
straight
stick
,
twelve
feet
long
,
which
he
had
measured
as
exactly
as
possible
by
comparing
it
with
his
own
height
,
which
he
knew
to
a
hair
.
