Quotation from: The Cruise of the Snark

Written by: Jack London


All went merrily for ten minutes, when I chanced upon the following
rhyme for navigators:



"Greenwich time least
Longitude east;
Greenwich best,
Longitude west."



Heavens! The Snark's time was not as good as Greenwich time. When
it was 8 25 at Greenwich, on board the Snark it was only 8:9.
"Greenwich time best, longitude west." There I was. In west
longitude beyond a doubt.
