This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

We were anchored at the time in about fifty feet of water, and noticed that the natives went down to bring up the old tins and empty bottles we had thrown overboard. They do nqt use any weight, but swim straight downwards. Returning from a shooting excursion next morning, we took refuge in the Datu's house to avoid a heavy shower of rain. He received our invasion with calm reserve, apparently not being too pleased to see us, but after a time he became more friendly. His house, like the others, was built on piles over the sea, with a rickety bridge about eighty yards in length connecting it with the shore. The floor was, as usual, constructed of split bamboos, which were so far apart that I nearly broke my leg by putting it through a more than ordinary large gap. Among a little pile of spears in the corner of the room were three guns, one of which was a magazine rifle of American make! Our host was without cartridges for it, happily for the Panglima, and we had neither the wish nor the ability to assist him. On the day following our arrival at Jolo we were astonished to see a large man-of-war approaching the anchorage. She proved to be the Wolf, a German corvette, the officers of which were very anxious to get information as to the doings of the Spanish authorities in the archipelago. This we left them to obtain first hand, and contented ourselves with lending them a couple of charts, of which they were in need. The Germans were at that time extremely jealous of Spanish influence in these and other neighbouring islands, and--somewhat maliciously I fear--we asked them if they recognised the sovereignty of Spain in Sulu. They told us that they were unable to answer the question. By the treaty of March 7th, ...

Cacao, coffee, bananas, and coconuts had been tried, and the former was doing well. The island, which is nearly seven miles long, and rises into a central lofty ridge about twelve hundred feet in height, supports a native population of 400 people, 150 of whom are engaged on the plantation. They are almost all of the Talautse or Sanghir tribes, and speak a language distinct from any found in Celebes. Talisse was the haunt of numbers of the large Fruit-eating Pigeons, Carpophacia radiata and C. paulina. The latter is a fine bird, weighing a pound and a quarter or even more, and its metallic green back shot with bronze, and a curious tawny patch upon the nurpie, render it conspicuously handsome. The lower mandible of birds of this genus is capable of being expanded laterally to an enormous extent,--a special adaptation to enable them to feed on the various large fruits of the forest-trees. The size of those they manage to swallow is astonishing. I have found fruits nearly as large as a small Tangerine orange in their crops. The only other bird of interest that we met with on the island was a Glossy Starling (Calornis neglecta), a genus supposed by Mr. Wallace to be absent from Celebes. Mr. Iiijkschroeff told us that there were but few Maleos upon the island, so after a couple of days' stay we left for Likoupang, a village on the mainland about ten miles to the south. Our host accompanied us, together with a native who was supposed to have a good knowledge of the coast, and who, when a child of six, had been rescued from the pirates of Illanun. We found the anchorage a tolerably good one, though with many surrounding reefs and sandbanks, a...

Not illustrated. 1886 edition. Excerpt: ...of sunlight fell upon the peaks and threw them out in bold relief against the leaden sky. But, late and cold as it was, the fishing had not ceased, and by the river-side they were cleaning and preparing Kisutchi--the latest salmon that visits Kamschatkan waters. Numbers of the King Salmon (0. orientalis) hung drying in the balagans; many of very large size. The current of the river is rather swift here and at Werchni, and we learnt that it does not usually freeze completely over until the end of January. It would seem as if the severity of the frost were never very great until that month. The snow invariably falls throughout the country in October, or even earlier, but it is seldom fit for sledge-travelling until November. While at Melcova we tried to get some of the reindeer-skin dresses of the country, as we had already felt the cold considerably in European clothes, and knew that at this season the thermometer would sink steadily from day to day. They had none for sale in the settlement, and we had to send over to Werchni Kamschatka for them. These dresses are of two kinds, the kuklankas and parkas, and are merely loose saeques composed of pieces of reindeer-skin beautifully dressed, and sewn together with thread made from the sinew of the animal, just as are the "karosses" of South Africa. They are provided with a large bearskin hood, and are put on over the head without fastening of any kind. The rest of the costume is composed of a pair of breeches of like nature, and boots almost vII. KUKLANKAS AXD PARKAS. 143 exactly resembling those in use in Lapland,--made of soft leather throughout, the sole included. The toe is slightly turned up, probably to keep the feet in place when in snow-shoes, and the boot is tightly stuffed...

In the late 15th Century, Ferdinand Magellan, set off from Spanish shores, with an armada of ships in search of the fabled ‘Spice Islands,” which were rumored to be a source of great wealth. One of the first great Seamen of this ‘new age of discovery,’ Ferdinand Magellan’s Armada was the First known Circumnavigation of the Globe, upon which the great sailor never returned. This is the extraordinary story of Ferdinand Magellan, and the voyage that changed the perception of the World, and the lands that this Armada passed.
