Formatted contents note | Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright -- Contents -- Editorial Note -- Introduction -- A Privateer's Voyage Round the World -- Prologue: The scheme of the voyage -- Chapter 1: From England to the isle of St Catherine, Brazil. We leave Plymouth in company with our consort, the Success, Captain Clipperton, but are separated in a storm. I encounter the first of the mutinies against me. We fail to rendezvous with Captain Clipperton at the Canary Islands, and the Cape Verde Islands, and strike westward across the Atlantic for St Catherine's Island, Brazil. -- Chapter 2: The passage into the Great South Sea by the Straits of Le Maire. As we proceed south, appetites grow sharper and Betagh, my marine captain, becomes voracious and threatens me -- I exclude him from my table. The seas full of great fish -- we pass through the Straits of Le Maire and into the Pacific Ocean. -- Chapter 3: We proceed to the isle of Chiloe to take provisions -- burn two prizes at Conception for lack of payment of ransoms -- call at Juan Fernández to attempt a rendezvous with the Success and Captain Clipperton. -- Chapter 4: We cruise Arica and the vale of Arica. We take two prizes and see the curious craft called the balsa -- Captains Hately and Betagh are captured by the Spanish. I take and burn the town of Payta. We are wrecked on the isle of Juan Fernández. -- Chapter 5: Residence on the island of Juan Fernández. More factions and mutinies -- I am ignored and afraid for my life. We build a new craft, the Recovery, and get off. -- Chapter 6: Proceedings in the South Sea, after leaving Juan Fernández -- conger eels our only food -- a fierce engagement. We plunder stores at Iquique -- we take the Jesus Maria and the town of Payta. -- Chapter 7: Drink puts me again in fear of my life. We meet with Captain Clipperton and the Success. I go on board to find him suspicious of me. |

Almost starving, we are forced to eat the congers now rotting for months in the bilges. -- Chapter 8: I consider surrendering at Panama. We suffer extreme thirst, drinking urine and seawater, but are saved by making the isle of Cano. -- Chapter 9: We sail for California. Description of the Indians, their attachment to us. I think to have found gold. -- Chapter 10: From California to China to England. I have an island named for me. Myself and crew stricken by great sickness. We pass Guam and Formosa but deem it not prudent to put in. We meet Clipperton's crew at Canton and learn of his drunken cowardice in an engagement -- one of my men arrested for murder of a customs official. We sail for home in the Cadogan, East Indiaman, arriving London, 1 August 1722, after a long, fatiguing voyage around the circumference of the globe of three years, seven -- Notes. |
