,
this
angle
by
adding
to
it
the
twenty-seven
degrees
which
separated
Alpha
from
the
antarctic
pole
,
and
by
reducing
to
the
level
of
the
sea
the
height
of
the
cliff
on
which
the
observation
had
been
made
,
was
found
to
be
fifty
-
three
degrees
.
These
fifty-three
degrees
being
subtracted
from
ninety
degrees
--
the
distance
from
the
pole
to
the
equator
--
there
remained
thirty
-
seven
degrees
.
Cyrus
Harding
concluded
,
therefore
,
that
Lincoln
Island
was
situated
on
the
thirty-seventh
degree
of
the
southern
latitude
,
or
taking
into
consideration
through
the
imperfection
of
the
performance
,
an
error
of
five
degrees
,
that
it
must
be
situated
between
the
thirty-fifth
and
the
fortieth
parallel
.
There
was
only
the
longitude
to
be
obtained
,
and
the
position
of
the
island
would
be
determined
,
The
engineer
hoped
to
attempt
this
the
same
day
,
at
twelve
o'clock
,
at
which
moment
the
sun
would
pass
the
meridian
.
It
was
decided
that
Sunday
should
be
spent
in
a
walk
,
or
rather
an
exploring
expedition
,
to
that
side
of
the
island
between
the
north
of
the
lake
and
Shark
Gulf
,
and
if
there
was
time
they
would
push
their
discoveries
to
the
northern
side
of
Cape
South
Mandible
.
They
would
breakfast
on
the
downs
,
and
not
return
till
evening
.
At
half-past
eight
the
little
band
was
following
the
edge
of
the
channel
.
On
the
other
side
,
on
Safety
Islet
,
numerous
birds
were
gravely
strutting
.
They
were
divers
,
easily
recognized
by
their
cry
,
which
much
resembles
the
braying
of
a
donkey
.
Pencroft
only
considered
them
in
an
eatable
point
of
view
,
and
learnt
with
some
satisfaction
that
their
flesh
,
though
blackish
,
is
not
bad
food
.
Great
amphibious
creatures
could
also
be
seen
crawling
on
the
sand
;
seals
,
doubtless
,
who
appeared
to
have
chosen
the
islet
for
a
place
of
refuge
.
It
was
impossible
to
think
of
those
animals
in
an
alimentary
point
of
view
,
for
their
oily
flesh
is
detestable
;
however
,
Cyrus
Harding
observed
them
attentively
,
and
without
making
known
his
idea
,
he
announced
to
his
companions
that
very
soon
they
would
pay
a
visit
to
the
islet
.
The
beach
was
strewn
with
innumerable
shells
,
some
of
which
would
have
rejoiced
the
heart
of
a
conchologist
;
there
were
,
among
others
,
the
phasianella
,
the
terebratual
,
etc.
.
But
what
would
be
of
more
use
,
was
the
discovery
,
by
Neb
,
at
low
tide
,
of
a
large
oysterbed
among
the
rocks
,
nearly
five
miles
from
the
Chimneys
.
"
Neb
will
not
have
lost
his
day
,
"
cried
Pencroft
,
looking
at
the
spacious
oyster-bed
.
"
It
is
really
a
fortunate
discovery
,
"
said
the
reporter
,
"
and
as
it
is
said
that
each
oyster
produces
yearly
from
fifty
to
sixty
thousand
eggs
,
we
shall
have
an
inexhaustible
supply
there
.
"
"
Only
I
believe
that
the
oyster
is
not
very
nourishing
,
"
said
Herbert
.
"
No
,
"
replied
Harding
.
"
The
oyster
contains
very
little
nitrogen
,
and
if
a
man
lived
exclusively
on
them
,
he
would
have
to
eat
not
less
than
fifteen
to
sixteen
dozen
a
day
.
