Moreover, the barycrite itself had given at 19h.

a distance of 28-1/2 radii, and a speed far greater than that which upon its showing had since been maintained.

Extinguishing the lamp, I found that the Earth's diameter on the discometer measured 2 deg.

3' 52" ( ?).
This represented a gain of some 90,000 miles; much more approximate to that which, judging by calculation, I ought to have accomplished during the last four hours and a half, if my speed approached to that I had estimated.

I inspected the cratometer, which indicated a force as great as that with which I had started,--a force which should by this time have given me a speed of at least 22,000 miles an hour.
