I cannot estimate the distance traversed by the balloon at less than six to seven thousand miles, and, even supposing that the wind had varied half a quarter, it must have brought us either to the archipelago of Mendava, either on the Pomotous, or even, if it had a greater strength than I suppose, to the land of New Zealand.
No calculo menos de seis mil o siete mil millas la distancia recorrida por el globo, y por poco que el viento haya variado ha debido llevamos o al archipiélago de Mendana, o a las islas de Tuamotú, o, si tenía más velocidad de la que me parece, hasta la tierra de Nueva Zelanda.
