Bob Harvey n'y avait jamais encore mis le pied, mais, ainsi que l'avait pressenti Cyrus Smith, trouvant sur sa route cette terre inconnue, dont aucune carte n'indiquait la situation, il avait formé le projet de la visiter, et, au besoin, si elle lui convenait, d'en faire le port d'attache du brick.
