By our Brazilian friends, however, the voyage was looked
upon as a success already achieved.
The utmost confidence [said the "Journal Opiz," of Rio], is placed
in the cool-headed, audacious American mariner, and we expect in a
short time to hear proclaimed in all of the journals of the Old and
New World the safe arrival of this wonderful little craft at her
destination, ourselves taking part in the glory. (Temos confianca
na pericia e sangue frio do audaciauso marinhero Americano por isso
esperamos que dentro em pouco tempo veremos o seu nome proclamado
por todos os jornaes do velho e novo mundo. A nos tambem cabera
parte da gloria.)
With these and like kind expressions from all of our _friends_, we took
leave of Rio, sailing on the morning of July 23rd, 1888.

Rio de Janeiro.
