Reading edition
Jordan’s final position was lat. 25° 11′ 7″, long. 27° 25′ 0″. The longitude given on the document found in the bottle at the cairn (14° 42′ E. of Berlin, or 28° 3′ 42″ E. of Greenwich) was a preliminary value resulting from Jordan’s observation of a lunar distance, and was wrong by some 40 miles.
