The One

An expedition from the Royal Observatory to observe the Solar Eclipse of 1901 in the island of Mauritius having been sanctioned by the Admiralty, I was instructed by the Astronomer Royal to proceed to that island, there to act in concert with the Director of the Royal Alfred Observatory, Mr. T. F. Claxton, who had expressed his desire to co-operate in the observation of the eclipse. In accordance with a scheme approved by the Joint Permanent Eclipse Committee of the Royal and Royal Astronomical Societies, I took out with me two instruments belonging to the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, for photographing the corona; the one giving an image of the Moon 2·4 inches in diameter, and intended to secure the general structure of the corona, and the other giving an image 0·3 inch in diameter, and intended to secure the outer coronal streamers.
