Not illustrated. 1917 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XIV SIR FRANCIS DRAKE'S CHANNEL AND "YAKABOO" WE awoke with the Virgins dead ahead. We were approaching them as Columbus had-- from the eastward.

Next in line came Ginger with a small dead sea on it, Cooper and Salt Islands where the wreck of the Rhone might be seen through the clear waters if there were not too much breeze.
