At sunrise all were on the shore at the extremity of the promontory and their gaze was directed towards the horizon of which two-thirds of the circumference were visible. For the last time the engineer could ascertain that not a sail nor the wreck of a ship was on the sea and even with the telescope nothing suspicious could be discovered. There was nothing either on the shore at least in the straight line of three miles which formed the south side of the promontory for beyond that rising ground had the rest of the coast and even from the extremity of the Serpentine Peninsula Claw Cape could not be seen. The southern coast of the island still remained to be explored. Now should they undertake it immediately and devote this day to it This was not included in their first plan. In fact when the boat was abandoned at the sources of the Mercy it had been agreed that after having surveyed the west coast they should go back to it and return to Granite House by the Mercy. Harding then thought that the western coast would have offered refuge either to a ship in distress or to a vessel in her regular course but now as he saw that this coast presented no good anchorage he wished to seek on the south what they had not been able to find on the west. Gideon Spilett proposed to continue the exploration that the question of the supposed wreck might be completely settled and he asked at what distance Claw Cape might be from the extremity of the peninsula. About thirty miles replied the engineer if we take into consideration the curvings of the coast. Thirty miles returned Spilett. That would be a long day s march. Nevertheless I think that we should return to Granite House by the south coast. But observed Herbert from Claw Cape to Granite House there must be at least another ten miles. Make it forty miles in .
