Read this simple record and tell me if there is anything in Hakluyt more wonderful. Two landsmen solicitors, if I remember right go down to Southampton Quay. They pick up a long-shore youth, and they embark in a tiny boat in which they put to sea. Where do they turn up? At Buenos Ayres. Thence they penetrate to Paraquay, return to the West Indies, sell their little boat there, and so home.
