CHAPTER XVI. Is full of disappointments, and ends with the commencement of a new career.
 17. 
CHAPTER XVII. Will give a peep into a ship's forecastle, and some other places, which the gentle reader may never have had an opportunity of peeping into before, and therefore he is advised not to miss this opportunity of doing so.

CHAPTER XXIV. Continues and ends on Shipboard. A narrow Escape from a flogging, and from Death.
 25. 
CHAPTER XXV. Leave Rio, and arrive at New York: a wide interval, but a short chapter.
