"Come, come," said the Doctor, "no discussion on that subject. An American has a perfect right to be proud of his great countryman! Let us honour genius wherever it is met with; and since Altamont has made his choice, let us take our turn next; let the captain    " "Doctor!" COME COME SAID THE DOCTOR NO DISCUSSION ON THAT SUBJECT AN AMERICAN HAS A PERFECT RIGHT TO BE PROUD OF HIS GREAT COUNTRYMEN LET US HONOR GENIUS WHEREVER IT IS MET WITH AND SINCE ALTAMONT HAS MADE HIS CHOICE LET US TAKE OUR TURN NEXT LET THE CAPTAIN DOCTOR
ended as the captain by Altamont's imperious tone. They felt that reply was impossible. For a few minutes there was an awkward silence, which the Doctor broke by saying-- "My friends, the highest human law is justice. It includes all others. Let us be just, then, and don't let any bad feeling get in among us. The priority of Altamont seems to me indisputable. We will take our revenge by and by, and England will get her full share in our future discoveries. Let the name New America stand for the continent itself, but I suppose Altamont has not yet disposed of all the bays, and capes, and headlands it contains, and I imagine there will be nothing to prevent us calling this bay Victoria Bay?" "Nothing whatever, provided that yonder cape is called Cape Washington," replied Altamont. "You might choose a name, sir," exclaimed Hatteras, almost beside himself with passion, "that is less offensive to an Englishman." "But not one which sounds so sweet to an American," retorted Altamont, proudly. LL SAID NOTHING THOUGH QUITE AS MUCH OFFENDED AS THE CAPTAIN BY ALTAMONT'S IMPERIOUS TONE THEY FELT THAT REPLY WAS IMPOSSIBLE FOR A FEW MINUTES THERE WAS AN AWKWARD SILENCE WHICH THE DOCTOR BROKE BY SAYING MY FRIENDS THE HIGHEST HUMAN LAW IS JUSTICE IT INCLUDES ALL OTHERS LET US BE JUST THEN AND DON'T LET ANY BAD FEELING GET IN AMONG US THE PRIORITY OF ALTAMONT SEEMS TO ME INDISPUTABLE WE WILL TAKE OUR REVENGE BY AND BY AND ENGLAND WILL GET HER FULL SHARE IN OUR FUTURE DISCOVERIES LET THE NAME NEW AMERICA STAND FOR THE CONTINENT ITSELF BUT I SUPPOSE ALTAMONT HAS NOT YET DISPOSED OF ALL THE BAYS AND CAPES AND HEADLANDS IT CONTAINS AND I IMAGINE THERE WILL BE NOTHING TO PREVENT US CALLING THIS BAY VICTORIA BAY NOTHING WHATEVER PROVIDED THAT YONDER CAPE IS CALLED CAPE WASHINGTON REPLIED ALTAMONT YOU MIGHT CHOOSE A NAME SIR EXCLAIMED HATTERAS ALMOST BESIDE HIMSELF WITH PASSION THAT IS LESS OFFENSIVE TO AN ENGLISHMAN BUT NOT ONE WHICH SOUNDS SO SWEET TO AN AMERICAN RETORTED ALTAMONT PROUDLY
