On page 62 of the 1976 Reprint of the 1958 New Edition,about two thirds of the way down the page it says: "John disappeared to look at his watch, which was now called a chronometer because John was the master of a ship."

On page 32 of the same edition,: "In this box was also a small aneroid barometer. John had won it as a prize at school and never went anywhere without it."
