  9 1,3|            after trudging nearly two miles, having reached an elevated
 10 1,3|          which was not more than two miles in length, with even a less
 11 1,3|             the bay, was about eight miles. Half a mile from the shore
 12 1,3|           thus for a length of three miles, ending suddenly on the
 13 1,3|           distance of at least seven miles, glittered a white summit

 15 1,4|            declivities to within two miles of the coast were spread
 16 1,5|              for a distance of eight miles and consequently much beyond

 21 1,8|              was a distance of eight miles to be accomplished; but,

 23 1,0|         mountain, situated about six miles to the northwest, appeared
 24 1,0|             radius of at least fifty miles. Therefore it was probable
 25 1,0|           the sight extended several miles to the north; but, on the
 26 1,0|           increased to more than two miles by the zigzags which they
 27 1,0|          extend over a radius of two miles. Did the sea surround this
 28 1,1|            radius of more than fifty miles. No land in sight. Not a
 29 1,1| circumference of more than a hundred miles." ~"And consequently an

 32 1,1|             was not less than thirty miles. ~As to the interior of

 45 1,4|        observers were then about six miles from the Chimneys, not far
