Whatever
likelihood
of
success
Australia
may
offer
us
,
would
n't
it
be
advisable
to
stop
a
day
or
two
at
the
Tristan
d'Acunha
Isles
and
the
Amsterdam
?
They
lie
in
our
route
,
and
would
not
take
us
the
least
out
of
the
way
.
Then
we
should
be
able
to
ascertain
if
the
Britannia
had
left
any
traces
of
her
shipwreck
there
?
"
"
Incredulous
Major
!
"
exclaimed
Paganel
,
"
he
still
sticks
to
his
idea
"
"
I
stick
to
this
any
way
,
that
I
do
n't
want
to
have
to
retrace
our
steps
,
supposing
that
Australia
should
disappoint
our
sanguine
hopes
.
"
"
It
seems
to
me
a
good
precaution
,
"
replied
Glenarvan
.
"
And
I
'm
not
the
one
to
dissuade
you
from
it
,
"
returned
Paganel
;
"
quite
the
contrary
.
"
"
Steer
straight
for
Tristan
d'Acunha
.
"
"
Immediately
,
your
Honor
,
"
replied
the
captain
,
going
on
deck
,
while
Robert
and
Mary
Grant
overwhelmed
Lord
Glenarvan
with
their
grateful
thanks
.
Shortly
after
,
the
Duncan
had
left
the
American
coast
,
and
was
running
eastward
,
her
sharp
keel
rapidly
cutting
her
way
through
the
waves
of
the
Atlantic
Ocean
.
IF
the
yacht
had
followed
the
line
of
the
equator
,
the
196
degrees
which
separate
Australia
from
America
,
or
,
more
correctly
,
Cape
Bernouilli
from
Cape
Corrientes
,
would
have
been
equal
to
11,760
geographical
miles
;
but
along
the
37th
parallel
these
same
degrees
,
owing
to
the
form
of
the
earth
,
only
represent
9,480
miles
.
From
the
American
coast
to
Tristan
d'Acunha
is
reckoned
2,100
miles
--
a
distance
which
John
Mangles
hoped
to
clear
in
ten
days
,
if
east
winds
did
not
retard
the
motion
of
the
yacht
.
But
he
was
not
long
uneasy
on
that
score
,
for
toward
evening
the
breeze
sensibly
lulled
and
then
changed
altogether
,
giving
the
Duncan
a
fair
field
on
a
calm
sea
for
displaying
her
incomparable
qualities
as
a
sailor
.
The
passengers
had
fallen
back
into
their
ordinary
ship
life
,
and
it
hardly
seemed
as
if
they
really
could
have
been
absent
a
whole
month
.
Instead
of
the
Pacific
,
the
Atlantic
stretched
itself
out
before
them
,
and
there
was
scarcely
a
shade
of
difference
in
the
waves
of
the
two
oceans
.
The
elements
,
after
having
handled
them
so
roughly
,
seemed
now
disposed
to
favor
them
to
the
utmost
.
The
sea
was
tranquil
,
and
the
wind
kept
in
the
right
quarter
,
so
that
the
yacht
could
spread
all
her
canvas
,
and
lend
its
aid
,
if
needed
to
the
indefatigable
steam
stored
up
in
the
boiler
.
