The location may or may not be present-day Paraguay.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.Cf. 05764-3 for a later use of this image.
