It unfortunately happened that all these journals, which had been collected on board the U. S. Ship Peacock, were lost with that vessel, at the mouth of the Columbia; so that the account which I wrote only for the gratification of a few friends, has become the sole remaining history of a highly interesting adventure."--Pref.<br /><br />Collation: 72 p., [1] leaf of plates : ill., music ; 24 cm<br /><br />
