Note 303 — Chapter XI · THE JOURNAL OF GALLEGO—PREFATORY REMARKS. (continued 2)
Reading edition

[304] The impression, which this interesting passage leaves on my mind, is that the Chief-Pilot prefers in his narrative to gloss over an incident which must have been full of disappointment to himself. Further on in the narrative, he writes more freely on the subject (page 237). In Note IX. of the Geographical Appendix, I have given some further remarks on this passage.
