Although I was certain that we were now treading upon a soil not hitherto touched by our feet, I often perceived groups of rocks which reminded me of those about Port Gräuben. Besides, this seemed to confirm the indications of the needle, and to show that we had against our will returned to the north of the Liedenbrock sea.
Bien que je fusse certain de fouler un sol entièrement vierge de nos pas, j'apercevais souvent des agrégations de rochers dont la forme rappelait ceux de Port-Graüben.
