Cook, too, made a record of the latitude and longitude of Port Jackson. Now, Baudin's statement is confirmed by five documents, the testimony of which is convincing. As an appendix to volume 3 of the Voyage de Decouvertes aux Terres Australes, is printed the entire log of Le Geographe. It was the wind which was hindering Flinders, sailing in the opposite direction.
"Les deux peres Recollets etoient alors dans une cabane a une lieue du village, ou ils s'etoient retires pour faire une espece de retraite, et ils ne furent avertis de l'arrivee des Iroquois que dans le temps du combat." Relation des Decouvertes,, MS. "Je rencontrai en chemin les peres Gabriel et Zenobe Membre, qui cherchoient de mes nonvelles."
Consult Bergeron, Histoire de la première dêcouverte et conquéte des îles Canaries; Pascal d'Avezac, Notice des dêcouvertes ... dans l'ocêan Atlantique, etc., Paris, 1845; Viera y Clavigo, Historia gênêral de las islas de Canaria, 1773; also the works of Major, Barker-Webb, Sabin Berthelot, and Bory de St.
On the significance of the gate in sacred edifices, see Trumbull, The Threshold Covenant, pp. 102-108. Dr. Peters is of the opinion that at the entrance to the temple area proper at Nippur there also stood two large columns. Découvertes en Chaldée, pp. 62-64.
The Relation des Decouvertes says that they left the village on the second of December, and returned to it on the eleventh, having left the mouth of the river on the seventh. Very probably, there is an error of date. The sky was clear; and, as night came on, the travellers saw a prodigious comet blazing above this scene of desolation.
The atlas issued with the first volume of the Voyage de Decouvertes in 1807 contained several coloured plates of views of coasts traversed by Le Geographe. The work of the artists accompanying the expedition was very beautiful; some of the plates have rarely been excelled in atlases of this kind.
De Sarzec, Découvertes en Chaldée, pls. 24, 25 bis, etc. See p. 537. De Sarzec, Découvertes en Chaldée, pls. 4, 4 bis and 43 bis. On the latter, bulls, lions, and eagle in combination. See p. 653. See the plan in Schick, Die Stiftshütte, pl. 5. Herodotus, book i. sec. 183, speaks of two altars outside of the temple of Marduk in Babylon.
Many of the other names, too, were those of men no longer in favour. Yet the earlier volumes of the Voyage de Decouvertes had referred in the text to the names on the French charts as though they formed a final system of nomenclature. What was poor Freycinet to do in completing the work? Here, indeed, was a sailor hoist to his own yard-arm with his own halyard.
The whole of the movements of the ships up to this time are to be read in the printed logs appended to volume 3 of the Voyage de Decouvertes. Baudin made no call at Port Phillip, nor did one of his three vessels visit the harbour either before or after reaching King Island.
It appears by the Relation des Decouvertes du Sr. de la Salle, that, three or four years later, there were thirteen or fourteen families. La Salle spent 34,426 francs on the fort. La Salle built a house for them, near the fort; and they turned a part of it into a chapel. But he had no thought of resting here. He had gained what he sought, a fulcrum for bolder and broader action.
