John J. Shillinglaw Castaway on the Auckland Isles

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Regarded as simply a marvellous tale of the sea - as a practical lesson of self-reliance - the story is sufficiently interesting but it is no less an important contribution to Hydrographical Science. The limits of this small volume will not allow of the publication of a mass of barometrical and' other observations collected by Captain musgrave. These will be forwarded to the proper quarter, and will doubtless receive the credit which they deserve.
