“A tour round the world. Leaving Southampton, we make for the West Indies, thence along the Coast of South America, past the Straits of Magellan (near the extreme southern point of the continent), through the Pacific Islands, to Australia , continuing to South Africa, and thence by Napoleonic St. Helena and the Canary Isles back to England.
