very properly devoted to the beginning of the Hero. ANCESTRAL.
CHAPTER II. Although very short, will contain more
than half my life.
CHAPTER III. The first impulse which set the
locomotive of my destiny in motion.
CHAPTER IV. The departure and the journey.
CHAPTER V. The Steamboat.
CHAPTER VI. My first dinner at a Hotel, and the
consequences of taking wine too freely.
CHAPTER VII. Shows with what ease a man may enter
into a commercial speculation, when he has the means and the
inclination so to do.
CHAPTER VIII. A school for morals, and the
beginning of an adventure.
CHAPTER IX. Getting into a Newspaper.
CHAPTER X. Recovering from a Julep.
CHAPTER XI. Tells of my reception by Mr.
Lummucks, and of the manner in which that polite gentleman answered my
solicitations.
CHAPTER XII. A change of quarters, and a new
friend.
CHAPTER XIII. A new field, and another
speculation.
CHAPTER XIV. Like a previous chapter, adds
another link to the chain of my adventures, without increasing the
intensity of interest which they may have excited.
CHAPTER XV. Shows the benefit of studying morals
at the theatre, and the difference between falling in love on the stage
and off.
CHAPTER XVI. Is full of disappointments, and ends
with the commencement of a new career.
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 XVIII. According to promise, relates how
Mr. Ruffin was tied to the fife rail, and how the sailors went ashore
in the jolly boat, and how they returned again.
CHAPTER XIX. Will bring us into port.
CHAPTER XX. Relates what happened after getting
ashore.
CHAPTER XXI. Adventures in the Pampas, a Pampara,
CHAPTER XXII. Return to Buenos Ayres and
Departure for Rio.
CHAPTER XXIII. Is devoted to a slight sketch of
Lieutenant Wallop, and being not at all essential to a proper
development of my adventures, may be read or not, as the reader pleases.
CHAPTER XXIV. Continues and ends on Shipboard. A
narrow Escape from a flogging, and from Death.
CHAPTER XXV. Leave Rio, and arrive at New York: a
wide interval, but a short chapter.
