The brave "westerly" will come along by-and-by and release you, and, with a staggering press of sail carried to the reliable gale, away you go for the long stretch of a hundred degrees or so eastward.You will very likely sight Tristan d'Acunha or Gough lsland; but, if not, the course will keep you fairly well informed of your longitude, since most ships make more or less of a great circle track.Instead of steering due East for the whole distance, they make for some southerly latitude by running along the arc of a great circle, THEN run due east for a thousand miles or so before gradually working north again.These alterations in the courses tell the foremast hand nearly all he wants to know, slight as they are.You will most probably sight Amsterdam Island or St.Paul's in about 77deg.E.; but whether you do or not, the big change made in the course, to say nothing of the difference in the weather and temperature, say loudly that your long easterly run is over, and you are bound to the northward again, Soon the south-east trades will take you gently in hand, and waft you pleasurably upward to the line again, unless you should be so unfortunate as to meet one of the devastating meteors known as "cyclones" in its gyration across the Indian Ocean.After losing the trade, which signals your approach to the line once more, your guides fluctuate muchly with the time of year.But it may he broadly put that the change of the monsoon in the Bay of Bengal is beastliness unadulterated, and the south-west monsoon itself, though a fair wind for getting to your destination, is worse, if possible.Still, having got that far, you are able to judge pretty nearly when, in the ordinary course of events, you will arrive at Saugor, and get a tug for the rest of the journey.

创意南广
何谓创意或指有创造性之想法、构思,或指提出有创造性之想法、构思并付诸实施。本书取“提出创造性想法、构思并付诸实施”之义。为何冠名“创意南广”其内涵有二:其一,乃谓南广是创意之产物。南广系我国高等教育探索新机制新模式之产物。“新”即创意闪烁,另辟蹊径,独具一格;不循前人之足迹,不落旧有之窠臼。其二,意指南广是创意集散之地。南广是教育培训创意人才、传媒人才之基地。南广设置各类创意工作室,吸引国内外传媒创意精英汇集江宁,推出原创影视作品;引进“世界大学女校长论坛”、“私立大学生态环境及发展战略国际论坛”、“国际传媒领袖论坛”落户江宁,使江宁成为影视文化创意和传媒高等教育思想的集散地。
