Volume 4 of the memoir written by Crowe, covering the years 1850-1854. For part of this period Crowe was master of the barque AUGUSTA (1841), employed in the guano trade. One of his daughters died following an earthquake at Coquimbo in Chile and another was born while the ship was anchored in the Downs. The volume then describes voyages on the WILLIAM GIBSON (1844) and HURKARU (1853), both owned by Thomas Hamlin & Co., Greenock. Crowe supervised the completion of the HURKARU on the River Tyne and was master on her maiden voyage to Port Phillip.
