Catalogue Note
A narrative of the ill-fated second voyage of the mission ship Duff, captured by a French privateer near Rio, and diverted to Montevideo, where the author had time to record his observations of the region. The captive crew were transferred to a Portuguese ship, the Medusa, and eventually freed at Lisbon.
