Book-making is so much of a trade, that it may be thought quite unnecessary to be at the trouble to assign reasons for embarking in it; but, as it is not my own vocation, it will be allowed me to say, that the deep interest which many, not only of my personal friends, but others whom I never saw, have taken in my fortunes, and the desires expressed, both verbally and by letter, to know more of my adventures than was communicated through the newspapers, overcame the reluctance I felt to undertake such a task.

...For California-Pernambuco-Straits of Magellan-Trading with Patagonians-Their treachery-Four men made prisoners by them-Three escape; the author detained, with promises of release on paying ransom-Indian village-The chief and his household-Eating, sleeping, and adventure in a Patagonian wigwam-Find myself booked for an indefinite residence in Patagonia, and some natural reflections thereupon 25

...After a long time, or what seemed such under circumstances that made minutes seem ages, one of my men came down, and asked permission to go to the Indian village, "a little way back from the shore," as they had been promised meat, eggs, and fowls.

...Perceiving that I was to be used as a decoy to lure the others into their treacherous snare, and secure them all as prisoners, I protested against this new breach of faith, and assured them that our men would not leave their boat, but that, if they wanted any rum and tobacco, they must take me to the shore.
