CHAPTER NINE
THE CIRCUMNAVIGATION
The man who does no more than carry out his instructions will never get very far in discovery.1
Captain Cook, 1775
The Southern Continent having been seen on the West-side, by Tasman, in 1642 and on the East by Juan Fernandes, above half a century before, and by others after him, in different latitudes from 64 degrees to 40 degrees South, it is impossible for any one at this time to discover it . . . although the land has been seen, and once visited, yet to open an intercourse with its inhabitants, is a task still to be performed.2
Alexander Dalrymple, 1770
