Book Description
Excerpt from Glances at Ports and Harbors Around South America Nature has been kinder to the mariner in providing a vast number of sheltered bays, inlets, and-rivers along the eastern coast of the Continent than is the case on the Pacific side. From the Straits of Magellan to Panama on the Pacific there is nothing to compare with the natural facilities of the opposite coast line. Thus, the stormier ocean possesses the larger number of havens for those who sail the seas. Comparing South America's northern shore line with the narrow southern extremity we also note marked contrasts. In the north there are bays and rivers offering the mariner ample protection, and at a few ports the waters are usually so tranquil that it is proverbially said that ships may be anchored by hairs. More than four thousand miles southward the Humboldt current sweeps up from Antarctic wastes and with its winds and waves dashes against the -foot sentinel, Cape Horn, with constant and well-known fury.

Book Description
Excerpt from Around South America: With a Sample Case Two days out from New York, on a Ward Line Steamer, bound for Havana, some years ago, one of the lady passengers came to me and said: This is my first ocean trip and I am looking for 'thrills.' Will I have any before getting back home, do you think? Being anxious to please the ladies at all times I promised to see what could be done for her. Ten days later I helped her escape from a wrecked ship in the midst of a stormy sea, and she seemed to think the effort overdone.

Book Description
Excerpt from One Way Round South America: From Manuscript, Notes and Letters Our freight ship chose to sail in the early morning, so we went aboard at night after the theater, a curious sort of time to go to sea. The wind blew fresh and the stars shone bright as we crossed the ferry, a favorable omen it seemed to us for our long journey. It was unkind of fate, was it not, to start us away from so unromantic a quarter as Hoboken, we two honeymooners? Hoboken does not sound well, and we dwelt in preference on the aristocratic title of our steam ship, the Patricia.

Book Description
Excerpt from South America That is an experience which, I feel sure, even the most adventuresome of you will consider worthy of being called exciting. You have, I hope, gleaned a rough, general idea that the highways of South America traverse very different country from that in which you are accustomed to find roads, railways, and rivers, and that the great difference in surroundings means you will be travelling on water ways that Nature has fashioned under peculiarly inter esting conditions, and by overland routes which could never have been brought into existence unless numbers of men had pluckily fought many a gallant fight with brains and muscles to overcome extraordinarily difficult obstacles.

Excerpt from Notes on South America With Variations!: From San Francisco to New York on Board the Cyprus, From March 11th to June 1st, 1916 The first sight Of land since leaving San Pedro caused a mild stir Of excitement, but I rather hated it; there was a suggestion in my mind that we'd land and that then I should wake up and find myself at home and begin to ponder over the fertility of imagination in dreams!

Book Description
Excerpt from Across Unknown South America, Vol. 1 of 2 South America is, to my mind, the Coming Conti nent -the Continent of the future. Everybody knows the wealth of the Argentine, Peru, Chile, and Bolivia; but the interior of Brazil, the largest and richest country of all, not unlike forbidden Tibet, was perhaps better known a century or two ago than now. Few people realize that Brazil is larger than the United States of North America, Germany, Portugal, and a few other countries taken together. The interior is practically a term incognita - although the ancient Jesuits and, at a later date, escaped slaves and native rubber collectors have perhaps found their way inland to a considerable distance.
