I Embarked At Liverpool, With Mr. Wallace, In A Small Trading Vessel, On The 26th Of April, 1848; And, After A Swift Passage From The Irish Channel To The Equator, Arrived, On The 26th Of May, Off Salinas. This Is The Pilot-Station For Vessels Bound To Para, The Only Port Of Entry To The Vast Region Watered By The Amazons. It Is A Small Village, Formerly A Missionary Settlement Of The Jesuits, Situated A Few Miles To The Eastward Of The Para River. Here The Ship Anchored In The Open Sea At A Distance Of Six Miles From The Shore, The Shallowness Of The Water Far Out Around The Mouth Of The Great River Not Permitting, In Safety, A Nearer Approach; And, The Signal Was Hoisted For A Pilot.

It Was Carlyle--Was It Not?--Who Said That All Great Works Produce An Unpleasant Impression On First Acquaintance. It Is So With The Missouri River. Carlyle Was Not, I Think, Speaking Of Rivers; But He Was Speaking Of Masterpieces--And So Am I. It Makes Little Difference To Me Whether Or Not An Epic Goes At A Hexameter Gallop Through The Ages, Or Whether It Chooses To Be A Flood Of Muddy Water, Ripping Out A Channel From The Mountains To The Sea. It Is Merely A Matter Of How The Great Dynamic Force Shall Express Itself. [more]

"If you are going with the boys on the river, Jack, you will have to get a motor-boat. Won't you let me buy you one?" "No, not a bit of it, Dick." "But you want one?" "Certainly, and I am going to have one." "But motor-boats cost money, Jack. Why, mine cost me-----" "Never mind what it cost, Dick. You spend a lot more money than I can afford to spend, and you have a gilt-edged affair, of course. I want a boat to use as well as to look at." [more]

Henry Walter Bates FRS FLS, FGS (Leicester. Born 8 February 1825 – London, 16 February 1892) was an English naturalist and explorer who gave the first scientific account of mimicry in animals. He was most famous for his expedition to the rainforests of the Amazon with Alfred Russel Wallace, starting in 1848. Wallace returned in 1852, but lost his collection on the return voyage when his ship caught fire. When Bates arrived home in 1859 after a full eleven years, he had sent back over 14,712 species (mostly of insects) of which 8,000 were new to science.[1] Bates wrote up his findings in his best-known work, The Naturalist on the River Amazons.
