Quotation from: The Cruise of the Snark

Written by: Jack London


"That is sheer speculation," objects literal mind; and logical mind
remonstrates. "There is no rule for it."


"Darn the rules!" I exclaim. "Ain't I here?"


"The thing is self-evident," I continue. "184 degrees west
longitude means a lapping over in east longitude of four degrees.
Besides I have been in east longitude all the time. I sailed from
Fiji, and Fiji is in east longitude. Now I shall chart my position
and prove it by dead reckoning."
