ABSTRACT
A few days later the Reindeer, in her course across the Pacific sighted the hill-tops of Rapa, the most southerly of the Polynesian islands. And then the last spot of Maori land disappeared from our vast, monotonous horizon—and that was an end to Oceania. After putting into Chile, we quitted the great ocean by the Straits of Magellan, returning to Europe by La Plata, Brazil and the Azores.
