The
Dutch
navigator
concluded
that
these
islands
were
adjacent
to
the
islands
of
the
same
name
on
the
east
of
Terra
del
Fuego
,
at
the
southern
point
of
the
American
continent
.
He
thought
he
had
found
"
the
Great
Southern
Continent
.
"
"
But
,
"
said
Paganel
to
himself
,
"
what
a
seventeenth
century
sailor
might
call
a
'
continent
'
would
never
stand
for
one
with
a
nineteenth
century
man
.
No
such
mistake
can
be
supposed
!
No
!
there
is
something
here
that
baffles
me
.
"
ON
the
31st
of
January
,
four
days
after
starting
,
the
Macquarie
had
not
done
two-thirds
of
the
distance
between
Australia
and
New
Zealand
.
Will
Halley
took
very
little
heed
to
the
working
of
the
ship
;
he
let
things
take
their
chance
.
He
seldom
showed
himself
,
for
which
no
one
was
sorry
.
No
one
would
have
complained
if
he
had
passed
all
his
time
in
his
cabin
,
but
for
the
fact
that
the
brutal
captain
was
every
day
under
the
influence
of
gin
or
brandy
.
His
sailors
willingly
followed
his
example
,
and
no
ship
ever
sailed
more
entirely
depending
on
Providence
than
the
Macquarie
did
from
Twofold
Bay
.
This
unpardonable
carelessness
obliged
John
Mangles
to
keep
a
watchful
eye
ever
open
.
Mulrady
and
Wilson
more
than
once
brought
round
the
helm
when
some
careless
steering
threatened
to
throw
the
ship
on
her
beam-ends
.
Often
Will
Halley
would
interfere
and
abuse
the
two
sailors
with
a
volley
of
oaths
.
The
latter
,
in
their
impatience
,
would
have
liked
nothing
better
than
to
bind
this
drunken
captain
,
and
lower
him
into
the
hold
,
for
the
rest
of
the
voyage
.
But
John
Mangles
succeeded
,
after
some
persuasion
,
in
calming
their
well-grounded
indignation
.
Still
,
the
position
of
things
filled
him
with
anxiety
;
but
,
for
fear
of
alarming
Glenarvan
,
he
spoke
only
to
Paganel
or
the
Major
.
McNabbs
recommended
the
same
course
as
Mulrady
and
Wilson
.
"
If
you
think
it
would
be
for
the
general
good
,
John
,
"
said
McNabbs
,
"
you
should
not
hesitate
to
take
the
command
of
the
vessel
.
When
we
get
to
Auckland
the
drunken
imbecile
can
resume
his
command
,
and
then
he
is
at
liberty
to
wreck
himself
,
if
that
is
his
fancy
.
"
"
All
that
is
very
true
,
Mr.
McNabbs
,
and
if
it
is
absolutely
necessary
I
will
do
it
.
As
long
as
we
are
on
open
sea
,
a
careful
lookout
is
enough
;
my
sailors
and
I
are
watching
on
the
poop
;
but
when
we
get
near
the
coast
,
I
confess
I
shall
be
uneasy
if
Halley
does
not
come
to
his
senses
.
"
"
Could
not
you
direct
the
course
?
"
asked
Paganel
.
"
That
would
be
difficult
,
"
replied
John
.
"
Would
you
believe
it
that
there
is
not
a
chart
on
board
?
"
