Hitherto, in my enterprises, a spirit of adventure united with that of acquisition, had been the motive of action; but henceforth the latter was to act alone. The voyage in the Lelia Byrd, under the exclusive direction of Mr. Shaler, proved a very unfortunate one. Owing to some informality in the protest,, we failed to recover any thing from the underwriters. The attempt made under the direction of Mr. Hudson to retrieve our affairs, by a return to the coast of California with that part of the cargo which remained unsold, in a little vessel which had been built at the island, and had been taken in exchange for the Lelia Byrd, was unsuccessful.
