Fifteen days later and 2,000 leagues farther, the Helvetia from the Compagnie Nationale and the Shannon from the Royal Mail line, running on opposite tacks in that part of the Atlantic lying between the United States and Europe, respectively signaled each other that the monster had been sighted in latitude 42 degrees 15' north and longitude 60 degrees 35' west of the meridian of Greenwich.
Veertien dagen daarna zeilden de Helvetia van de Nationale Compagnie en de Shannon van de Koninklijke Mail op 800 kilometer afstand van laatstbedoelde plek in elkanders nabijheid; zij zagen het monster op 42° 15' N.B. en 60° 35' W.L. van Greenwich.
