Pg. 178 and 179, ship name "Themis" is more correctly spelled "Themis" and "Themis". The original spelling is preserved in all instances as all are plausible renderings on the part of the author and there is no ambiguity in reference. Pg. 183, original text "January 28th" probably ought to read "February 28th" in order to conform to the chronological sequence. Changed accordingly. (February 28th.--So quietly, that the) Pg. 185, "populaton" changed to "population". (The native population is Anamese) Pg. 188, "gulf of Ne-chili" changed to "gulf of Pe-chili". (for evolutions in the gulf of Pe-chili) Pg. 192, "slighest" changed to "slightest". (does not lessen her chance of coming in first in the slightest) Pg. 192, period changed to comma after "sail". (At the moment of shortening sail, our lame duck) Pg. 195, place name "Yokusuka" also spelled "Yokosuka" elsewhere in the text. Both are plausible transliterations and so the original is preserved in all cases. Pg. 196, "pupose" changed to "purpose". (for the purpose of making the ships) Pg. 204, missing period at sentence end, added. (in this neighbourhood. Dozens of these) Pg. 211, "recalcitant" changed to "recalcitrant". (proved themselves so reckless and recalcitrant) Pg. 217, missing period at sentence end, added. (set them at their ease. They were all) Pg. 225, ship name "Vittor Pinani" is more correctly spelled "Vittor Pisani" on page 143. The author's original spelling is preserved as it is a plausible rendering of an unfamiliar name as he heard it and there is little ambiguity. Also closing double quote mark added after "Pinani". (the "Vittor Pinani," for Italy, in 1880) Pg. 225, ship name "Ticonderego" is more correctly spelled "Ticonderoga". However, the author's original spelling is preserved as it is a plausible rendering of an unfamiliar name as he heard it and there is little ambiguity. Itinerary, entry for 1879, August 9, point of departure "Hakodate". This should probably read "Hakodadi", a spelling which is used in the entry just above and also, consistently, elsewhere in the text (although the place name is in fact more commonly spelled Hakodate today). The difference in spelling between the names in the two adjacent itinerary entries is rather easy to spot, and so the inconsistency is puzzling. To allow for the possibility that the author might well have spotted the inconsistency and chose, for whatever reason, to let it remain, the original text is preserved. Itinerary, entry for 1880, August 3, point of departure, "Okisiri Island". This should probably read "O'Kosiri Island", a spelling used in the entry just above and elsewhere in the text, being a place of some importance in the narrative. However the original spelling is preserved for the same reasons as for "Hakodate" above.
