e account may be given of the larger number of the
islands which stud the wide Pacific, and ships may now sail from north
to south, and east to west, without the slightest danger from the
inhabitants of by far the greater portion of them.

But it is time that I should bring my narrative to a conclusion. This
adventure at Ulitea was amongst my last. Finding that our trading
expedition to the Pacific Islands was not likely to prove of advantage
to our owners, Captain Hassall and I resolved to proceed home at once
round Cape Horn.

We happily accomplished our voyage without accident and without any
further occurrence worthy of note. Our path was no longer beset by
hostile cruisers, for there was a lull in the affairs of Europe. After
the many excitements of the past few months, the days seemed long and
tedious as I had never known them before; and it was with a sense of
relief, as well as of real pleasure, that I again saw in the early
morning light the shores of old England looming clear in the distance.
I need not dwell on all the happy circumstances of my return, or on the
special satisfaction with which I looked again on one familiar face.
Suffice it to say that I had the gratification of receiving the
commendation of my kind friend Mr Janrin for the way in which I had
carried out his instructions and performed my duties as Supercargo; and
that this voyage prepared the way for more substantial proofs of his
favour.
