Soft cover. Condizione: VG. 17pp extract, printed in double columns, illustrated with 13 characteristic Harper's etchings, including a portrait of George H. Nobbs, the pastor of Pitcairn, and 4 small chart maps, salvaged from a damaged issue of Harper's Monthly, Volume XLII, No. 251, April, 1871. Mostly extracted from the book, The Mutineers Of The Bounty And Their Descendants To Pitcairn And Norfolk Islands, by Lady Belcher, published by Harper's in 1871 in a first American edition. Belcher was a step-daugthter of Peter Heywood, a midshipman on the Bounty, who was wrongfully condemned to death, pardoned, and after rose to a high rank in the British navy. The book itself covers the years 1830 to 1870, but includes a review of the mutiny and Bligh's boat journey. Illustrations in the present item include the wreck of the Pandora, a group portrait of Maria Christian, Ellen Quintal, and Sarah McKoy, landing at Pitcairn Island, the landing place, Sidney Bay, Norfolk Island, the interior of Norfolk, portraits of Naomi and Jane Nobbs, and Pitcairn Settlement at Norfolk Island. Also includes small charts of part of the South Seas, Pitcairn Island, and Norfolk Island. Housed in protective mylar report cover.

This book contains two autobiographical accounts by Francis Guillemard Simpkinson (1819-1906), midshipman aboard the HMS Sulphur, and Edward Belcher (1799-1877), captain of the HMS Sulphur. Edited by Richard A. Pierce and John H. Winslow. Belcher's account was taken from his two-volume Narrative of a Voyage Round the World (1843) and Simpkinson's account had been hitherto unpublished. The HMS Sulphur was originally commissioned by Captain F. W. Beechey to survey the Pacific Ocean for the purposes of exploration, scientific research, and establishing navigational routes for Britain. Beechey became ill on the expedition, so Belcher took his place as captain. Simpkinson's and Belcher's accounts document the Sulphur's journey in 1837 from about San Francisco to Monterey, California. Both Simpkinson, then only 18 years old at the time, and Belcher document day-to-day events along their journey in California. Their accounts also provide invaluable information about early San Francisco and Monterey and other historical events in early California history. Notably, the Sulphur expedition included the first exact navigational survey of the Sacramento River. The Sulphur came back to California in 1839 (this voyage is not documented herein). Simpkinson and Belcher went on to have successful naval careers.
