In Captain Grant's Children and in Mysterious Island, Ayrton has committed
crimes on Australian soil, not on the Duncan, yet Glenarvan believes that he
has the authority to sentence Ayrton for his crimes and to carry out the
sentence by abandoning him on Tabor Island. When he returns to English soil
he does not even tell the authorities of his decisions and his actions. Did
this have some basis in maritime law in 1865 or is it Verne's invention?
