Chapter XLIII
FROM LATITUDE 47° 24′ TO LONGITUDE 17° 28′ In consequence of the storm, we had been thrown eastward once more. All hope of escape on the shores of New York or St. Lawrence had faded away; and poor Ned, in despair, had isolated himself like Captain Nemo. Conseil and I, however, never left each other. I said that the _Nautilus_ had gone aside to the east. I should have said (to be more exact) the north-east.
