19 V | intermission, not leaving a single point of her surface unexplored;
20 V | nothing more to learn on this point. It was known that it is

22 VI | the zenith, that is, the point directly over the head of

27 VII | then, for our starting point, this velocity of 800 yards.
28 VII | soon enlighten us upon this point.”~“Nothing easier.” replied
