In the year 1843 I shipped as Ordinary seaman on board of a United States frigate, then lying in a harbour of the Pacific Ocean. After remaining in this frigate for more than a year, I was discharged from the service upon the vessel s arrival home. My man-of-war experiences and observations are incorporated in the present volume.
