Bad
enough
,
certainly
,
but
still
it
is
history
in
the
United
Kingdom
.
"
"
It
's
an
insult
!
"
exclaimed
the
patriotic
geographer
;
"
and
they
relate
that
gravely
?
"
"
I
must
own
it
is
the
case
,
"
replied
Glenarvan
,
amidst
a
general
outburst
of
laughter
.
"
Do
you
mean
to
say
you
have
never
heard
of
it
before
?
"
"
Never
!
But
I
protest
against
it
.
Besides
,
the
English
call
us
'
frog-eaters
.
'
Now
,
in
general
,
people
are
not
afraid
of
what
they
eat
.
"
"
It
is
said
,
though
,
for
all
that
,
"
replied
McNabbs
.
So
the
Major
kept
his
famous
rifle
after
all
.
Two
days
after
this
conversation
,
John
Mangles
announced
that
the
Duncan
was
in
longitude
113
degrees
37
minutes
,
and
the
passengers
found
on
consulting
the
chart
that
consequently
Cape
Bernouilli
could
not
be
more
than
five
degrees
off
.
They
must
be
sailing
then
in
that
part
of
the
Indian
Ocean
which
washed
the
Australian
continent
,
and
in
four
days
might
hope
to
see
Cape
Bernouilli
appear
on
the
horizon
.
Hitherto
the
yacht
had
been
favored
by
a
strong
westerly
breeze
,
but
now
there
were
evident
signs
that
a
calm
was
impending
,
and
on
the
13th
of
December
the
wind
fell
entirely
;
as
the
sailors
say
,
there
was
not
enough
to
fill
a
cap
.
There
was
no
saying
how
long
this
state
of
the
atmosphere
might
last
.
But
for
the
powerful
propeller
the
yacht
would
have
been
obliged
to
lie
motionless
as
a
log
.
The
young
captain
was
very
much
annoyed
,
however
,
at
the
prospect
of
emptying
his
coal-bunkers
,
for
he
had
covered
his
ship
with
canvas
,
intending
to
take
advantage
of
the
slightest
breeze
.
"
After
all
,
though
,
"
said
Glenarvan
,
with
whom
he
was
talking
over
the
subject
,
"
it
is
better
to
have
no
wind
than
a
contrary
one
.
"
"
Your
Lordship
is
right
,
"
replied
John
Mangles
;
"
but
the
fact
is
these
sudden
calms
bring
change
of
weather
,
and
this
is
why
I
dread
them
.
We
are
close
on
the
trade
winds
,
and
if
we
get
them
ever
so
little
in
our
teeth
,
it
will
delay
us
greatly
.
