Precarious because as
we stand there, it curves underfoot...

"Every time all hands were sent
to the halyard, a song was called for...

1:46:18
...and we hoisted away with a will.
1:46:22
Sail after sail was added...
1:46:24
...as we drew into fine weather, and in
one week after leaving Cape Horn...

1:46:29
...the long, topgallant masts
were got up...

1:46:32
...topgallant and royal yards crossed...
1:46:35
...and the ship restored
to her fair proportions.

1:46:38
The Southern Cross
and Magellan Clouds...

1:46:40
...settled lower and lower
in the horizon.

1:46:43
And so great was our change
in latitude...

1:46:46
...that each succeeding night we sank
some constellation in the south...

1:46:51
...and raised another
in the northern horizon."
