Lincoln Island

Introduction

It is clear from the book that the island is situated in the South Pacific, i.e. in Oceania with modern terms for the continents.
Elias Granqvist, 20 Nov 2010

Quoting an English language translation at Project Gutenberg, Lincoln Island, as it was called, was at «Longitude 150° 30′ west; latitude 34° 57′ south».

US flag with extra star in comic book version

I have many time read a comic book version of the novel which we had at home when I was a boy. The castaways on the mysterious island are from the U.S.A., and they produce an American flag for the boat they build. Only the flag has one star too many, the extra star is for their island. Could anyone say if this flag is described in the original novel too?
