noon
It was not in Captain Scraggs 's handwriting , and contained nothing more interesting than the stereotyped reports of daily observations , currents , weather conditions , etc. , including a notation of arrival that day at Honolulu . Slowly Halvorsen turned the leaves backward , until at last he was rewarded by a glimpse of a different handwriting . It was the last entry under that particular handwriting , and read as follows : June 21 , 19 -- . Took an observation at noon , and find that we are in 20-48 S. , 178-4 W . At this rate should lift Tuvana-tholo early this afternoon . All hands well and looking forward to the fun at Tuvana . Bent a new flying jib this morning and had the king and Tabu-Tabu holystone the deck .
