Text describes Staden's attempt to escape his captors by running away from their village and swimming to a French ship which had stopped in the harbor of Rio de Janeiro to trade parrots and monkeys with the natives. Although Staden successfully escaped, the French turned him away from their ship. Image title translated from chapter heading. This volume contains accounts of Staden's two voyages made to Brazil, 1546 to 1548 and 1549 to 1555, and Jean de Léry's voyage to Brazil made from 1555 to 1558.
