They lie between 13' 30' and 14' 20' south latitude, and between 169 degrees and 173 degrees west longitude, and are therefore thoroughly tropical, and lie pretty near that mysterious line where the ship suddenly sails out of one day into the day before.

The third of the larger islands lies about forty miles to the windward, east, of Upolu. Tutuila, seventeen miles long and two hundred and thirty in circuit, is interesting to Americans, containing the harbor of Pango Pango.
