notes:
Text notes the inexpensive and excellent beef available. The method of killing a bull involved using a pulley and winch to pull its head through a hole in the penfold, then stabbing it between the horns with a dagger. The animal is then lifted onto a sledge to be flayed. Much of the meat was wasted, the animals being mostly used for hides and tallow. The bricks are used for building, but are also burned with bulls heads and bones as a substitute for wood. The building is one outside of Montevideo in which the missionaries were lodged during their stay.The ship Duff had previously taken part in the first mission to the South Pacific during which voyage the Gambier Islands were discovered. On its second voyage, with Gregory, his wife and four children aboard, it was captured by the ship Le Grand Buonaparte off Cape Frio in 1799. Cape Frio or Cabo Frio is in the present-day Rio de Janeiro state of Brazil. After leaving Montevideo, the missionaries were captured by the Portuguese.Image placed horizontally on page.Plates at end of book are misbound.
