Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Adventures of British Seamen in the Southern Ocean: Displaying the Striking Contrasts Wich the Human Character Exhibits in an Uncivilized State
There, a people scarce known even by name, and accounted peculiar savage, received and treated them with a kin ess which would hav done honour to the most civilized society. This relation unfolds. So eventful a story, and presents human nature under so new and pleasing a light, that a condensed and corrected republication of it may form, it is hoped, an acceptable part of the present volume.
