Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Voyages Round the World
The voyage round Cape Hem into the Pacific occupied thirty-four days and Cook, who was rather for tunate in his weather, seems to think it preferable to the passage through the Straits of Magellan. In his voyage through the ocean, he descried some small islands, of the group which had been previously visited by Wallis and Bougainville. He proceeded, how ever, direct to the place of his desti nation, not allowing himself to be detained by unimportant discoveries.
