FROM THE UNITED STATES TO THE EQUATOR. 563 



The following Time Table, by the New Route, the Old, and the Middle, 

 is derived from the logs of 1,160 voyages, and it therefore may be held to 

 embody the experience of 1,160 navigators touching the best route hence 

 to the " fairway off St. Roque." The meaning of this table is so plain 

 that analysis and discussion can add but little to the force of its own 

 silent story. It shows, for each month, the average time from port to 

 30° N. ; the place of crossing that parallel, and the time thence to the 

 Equator, and the place of crossing it, also, by each of the three routes. It 

 shows, also, the distance from 30° N. to the Equator, and the average 

 number of miles "made good" daily, for so much of each route as is 

 iucluded between these parallels.
