Chapter XXV
_Fox_ that MacClintock "succeeded in making his way more easily and more directly than all his successors." Other translations say "predecessors" which makes more sense. Other versions give 22 degrees 58 minutes. Other versions agree that the latitude is 51 degrees--which hardly seems possible for a ship leaving Ireland at nearly 56 degrees latitude and sailing northwest. 57 degrees seems more likely.
