Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Proceedings of the United States Naval Institute, 1894, Vol. 20 For nearly a century and a quarter we have had a Navy, and one whose deeds and conduct throughout its history have honored both itself and the country.

The course was held until ten o'clock, when it was decided to abandon the plan of going south of Roncador reef and take the channel north of it instead the course was accordingly changed to bring the northern extremity of the reef a little on the port bow. The noon position corroborated the indications of the morning sight, showing that the ship had not only had a strong set to the northwest, but had drifted about thirty-three miles in sixteen hours, or at the rate of more than two knots per hour the expected lati tude at noon was to be I 3° 30' N the observation showed 13° 48' the latitude expected at noon would place the ship nearly abreast the southern end of the reef; the true latitude showed her to be fourteen miles north of its northern point, which then bore about wsw., distant forty-two miles.
