It was used as a fictitious island in the Pacific Ocean in Jules Verne 's works '' In Search Of The Castaways '' (''The Children of Captain Grant'') and '' The Mysterious Island ''. Its coordinates are 153 West degrees in Longitude and 37 degrees South 11 minutes in Latitude . In '' In Search Of The Castaways '' (''The Children of Captain Grant''), the island shelters Captain Grant and two of his crew. Its coordinates being half-erased in the help message found by the children, it takes them months to find the castaways. At the end of the book, Ayrton , the renegade, is left in Grant's place to live among the beasts and regain his humanity. In '' The Mysterious Island '', after they have settled on Lincoln Island , the heroes also find a message in a bottle, but the coordinates and name of the island appear clearly. They use a small ship to rescue Ayrton, and bring him back to civilisation and rehabilitation. Eventually, the bottle turns out to have been specifically sent to the heroes by the benevolent Captain Nemo . |
