Book Description
Excerpt from Voyage of Discovery, Into the South Sea and Beering's Straits, Vol. 3 of 3: For the Purpose of Exploring a North-East Passage, Undertaken in the Years 1815-1818, at the Expense of His Highness the Chancellor of the Empire, Count Romanzoff, in the Ship Rurick, Under the Command of the Lieutenant in the Russian Imperial Navy The island of Teneriffe extends from north-east to south-west. The south-western part is occupied by the Pic and its base; the north-eastern, by rugged dreary mountains. They are separated by a broad col or pass; on the top of which is situated the chief city, Laguna, and below it is Santa Cruz, on the south-eastern coast, leaning on the eastern mountains. The town and harbour of Oratava lie on the opposite coast, at the foot of the Pic, in the midst of beautiful vineyards and palm-gardens, which remind us of the insulae fortunatae. The way thither, from Santa Cruz, is through Laguna, (a miserable town, with seven convents, ) and through the villages of Matanza and Vittoria, names which here, as in other Spanish possessions, indicate the fate of the natives on the conquest: "Victory and Massacre!" The country round Saint Cruz is naked and desolate; only a few palms and plantains, rising above the white walls of the town, announce to the European who lands there a more southern clime. The Flora, like that of all islands, is poor. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

To N. N.e. And n.n.vv This changeable weather gave me great hopes that land was near; I how ever looked for it in vain. At three o'clock in the afternoon, we were exactly N., 15 miles distant from our course In the preceding year, and had now sailed, for the second time, through the chain of the Mulgrave islands, without having seen them. I now directed my course as much north as the wind permitted, to sail to Kutusof's islands, which I have promised to examine more closely; and we tacked during the night under few sails, that we might neither run aground, nor pass the islands.
