Lemaire
and
Shouten
declare
that
they
are
eleven
feet
high
.
"
"
These
are
all
credible
witnesses
,
"
said
Glenarvan
.
"
Yes
,
quite
as
much
as
Wood
,
Narborough
,
and
Falkner
,
who
say
they
are
of
medium
stature
.
Again
,
Byron
,
Giraudais
,
Bougainville
,
Wallis
,
and
Carteret
,
declared
that
the
Patagonians
are
six
feet
six
inches
tall
.
"
"
But
what
is
the
truth
,
then
,
among
all
these
contradictions
?
"
asked
Lady
Helena
.
"
Just
this
,
madame
;
the
Patagonians
have
short
legs
,
and
a
large
bust
;
or
by
way
of
a
joke
we
might
say
that
these
natives
are
six
feet
high
when
they
are
sitting
,
and
only
five
when
they
are
standing
.
"
"
Bravo
!
my
dear
geographer
,
"
said
Glenarvan
.
"
That
is
very
well
put
.
"
"
Unless
the
race
has
no
existence
,
that
would
reconcile
all
statements
,
"
returned
Paganel
.
"
But
here
is
one
consolation
,
at
all
events
:
the
Straits
of
Magellan
are
very
magnificent
,
even
without
Patagonians
.
"
Just
at
this
moment
the
Duncan
was
rounding
the
peninsula
of
Brunswick
between
splendid
panoramas
.
Seventy
miles
after
doubling
Cape
Gregory
,
she
left
on
her
starboard
the
penitentiary
of
Punta
Arena
.
The
church
steeple
and
the
Chilian
flag
gleamed
for
an
instant
among
the
trees
,
and
then
the
strait
wound
on
between
huge
granitic
masses
which
had
an
imposing
effect
.
Cloud-capped
mountains
appeared
,
their
heads
white
with
eternal
snows
,
and
their
feet
hid
in
immense
forests
.
Toward
the
southwest
,
Mount
Tarn
rose
6,500
feet
high
.
Night
came
V.
IV
Verne
on
after
a
long
lingering
twilight
,
the
light
insensibly
melting
away
into
soft
shades
.
