12mo (160 x 95 mm). Modern calf gilt (front endpaper mounted on pastedown obscuring provenance). Later edition, an abridged "popular" edition of the earlier published account of the voyage. The authors were respectively gunner and carpenter of the 'Wager', a ship of George Anson's fleet which rounded Cape Horn and ran aground on 14 May 1741 in the Guayaneco Archipelago on the southern coast of Chile. After the loss of the Wager, Bulkeley and Cummins organized the mutiny against Captain Cheap. This narrative describes how the mutineers made their way back through the hazardous navigation of the Straits of Magellan in a surviving longboat, named 'Speedwell', to eventually reach Rio de Janeiro. This Dublin edition was published the same year as the octavo London first edition and another octavo Dublin edition. Headland 109; Sabin 9108 note.
