In Search of the Castaways
The island appears in Jules Verne's novels "In Search of the Castaways" and "The Mysterious Island". It is also present in Verne's play, "Captain Grant's Children", but under a different name. Tabor is replaced by the imaginary "Balker Isle of the southern seas, situated not far from Adelie Coast" : like Tabor, at 37 degrees South, but with the longitude moved to 165 degrees West.
