Following the Equator

CHAPTER V
8/16

We saw the Cross to-night, and it is not large.
Not large, and not strikingly bright.

But it was low down toward the horizon, and it may improve when it gets up higher in the sky.

It is ingeniously named, for it looks just as a cross would look if it looked like something else.

But that description does not describe; it is too vague, too general, too indefinite.

It does after a fashion suggest a cross -- a cross that is out of repair--or out of drawing; not correctly shaped.
