- Notes: first edition of this curious narrative, which became a standard in later Collected Voyages. Cockburn and five other English pirates were captured by the Spanish, set on shore naked and wounded in Mexico, and traveled by land down the isthmus to Panama before being rescued. "An authentic account of adventures so extraordinary that it was regarded as little more than a romance by contemporaries"--Hill 324. Field 336; Palau 55891; Sabin 14095.
