Page 173:
We pass the tropic; we will pass the equator, in time, with attendant celebrations; and then another tropic. These facts create considerable excitement on board, but they are lines which man has drawn on the globe, and therefore not exciting to me. When the captain assures us that today, we pass the tropic, I look at him, and he is only a man, telling me of lines he has decided to draw on the unbounded ocean.
