About this eBook
| Author | Jones, John D. |
|---|---|
| LoC No. | 04029547 |
| Title | Life and Adventure in the South Pacific |
| Note | Preface says "Two young men, led to engage in the whale-fisheries, and spending five years in the employment, have compiled from their log-books and their recollection a plain, unvarnished narrative of this period." Second author may be Jackson Holmes Chase. |
| Note | Published as by "A Roving Printer". Variously attributed by different library catalogs to John D. Jones, John B. Jones, John Jones, Ira Jones, and simply "Jones". The source of the attributions to someone named Jones is unknown. The crew list for the voyage does not list anyone named Jones: https://whalinghistory.org/?s=AC044041 |
| Note | Actual identity of author may be Joseph Howe, 1834-1888 ("Joe Hour" in the crew list). |
| Note | Chapter XXVII, the legend of Kinau and Tuanoa, appears to be only slightly modified from the story as told in "The Natural History of the Sperm Whale" by Thomas Beale, published over twenty years earlier. |
