the sun at noon
We were not so much looking out , all of us , as listening to the utmost , both with our eyes and ears . Next day , I found that the mercury in the barometer , which had risen steadily since we cleared the ice , remained steady . I had had very good observations , with now and then the interruption of a day or so , since our departure . I got the sun at noon , and found that we were in Lat . 58 degrees S. , Long . 60 degrees W. , off New South Shetland ; in the neighbourhood of Cape Horn . We were sixty-seven days out , that day .
