Other labels were suggested for those place-coordinates. One after another, the

forms were filled out and submitted, and rejected and returned by the authorities.

"Temperature", "color", "altitude", "beauty", "fortitude", "voltage", "amplitude", and

"steadfastness" were all taken, and it was finally necessary to settle for "latitude"

and "longitude", although they were far from the first choices, and everybody in

the nautical business would have much preferred words with more pzazz.
