Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Wreck of the Glide: With Recollections of the Fijiis, and of Wallis Island
Or the manuscript from which this volume has been prepared for publication, that part which bears date pre viously to my departure from the Sandwich Islands, in the United States frigate Potomac, in the month of August, 1832, was written during my residence of about three months upon Oahu; the remainder, with some exceptions, was written about the time the incidents, herein mentioned, occurred. Thus the narrative is, for the most part, the production of my memory. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
