In fact, from this spot, to Port Balloon, discovered the day before on the southern coast, there was only a distance of three miles and a half, and from the bridge to the Port, it would be easy to make a good cart-road which would render the communication between Granite House and the south of the island extremely easy.
En effet, de ce point au port Ballon, découvert la veille sur la côte méridionale, il n'y avait qu'une distance de trois milles et demi, et, du pont au port, il serait aisé de frayer une route carrossable, qui rendrait les communications faciles entre Granite-House et le sud de l'île.
