Narrative of a journey from Lima to Para, across the Andes and down the Amazon: undertaken with a view of ascertaining the practicability of a navigable communication with the Atlantic, by the rivers Pachitea, Ucayali, and Amazon . n placedthere for its use. It had lately cast its slough. CONCLUSION. 305 and the brilliancy of its colours was inconceivablyvivid. Captain Daniell offered to take us with him toBarbadoes, from whence we might get a passageto England, but as a British merchant-brig, theCreole, was lying in the Port, and about to sailin a few days direct for London, we engaged ourpassage on board her. ^Ve left Para on the 14thof June, and reached Falmouth on the 5th ofAugust. All our animals perished on the voyage,except the eagle, the ocelot, a monkey, and a fewcurassows and macaws. Thus ended our expedition, which, from ourquitting Lima to our arrival at Para, occupiedeight months and ten days; and although we didnot succeed in attaining the object for which itwas undertaken, we hope it may not prove alto-gether useless, and may in some respects add tothe store of information previously possessed re-specting the countries which we traversed.
