This can be done at several points.
BY leaving San Francisco and sail

is no land, not even an islet, for 1000
miles In any direction. SO, too sail

point equally distant from land of
any kind. the nearest to the north
being the Aleutian islands and to the
south the outlying members of the
Sandwich group. In the southern
Indian ocean it is possible to sail
LOCO miles out from the southern
points of Australia and New Zealand
and still be as far from any other
land. and the same may be done in a
westerly direction from Cape Horn
Indeed. from this point a much longer
distance might be reached, for the
southern Pacific between the Horn

their habits. Even the tramp has his.
