The question has been asked. Is 11 |>ossible to sail 1,000 miles from land? This can be done at several points. By leaving San Francisco and sailing northwestward into the north Pacific a spot is reached where there is no land, not even an islet, for 1,000 miles In any direction. So, too, sailing from the southern point of Kamchatka south westward ships reach a 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 Hawaiian group. In the southern Indian ocean It is possible to sail 1.000 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 be tween the Horn and New Zealand cov ers a space of 80 degrees of longitude and 40 of latitude of absolutely un broken sea, making its central point over 1,200 miles from anywhere.
