He traveled on the ship Plymouth from San Francisco to Realejo port in Nicaragua, followed by a canoe trip up-river to the town of Realejo. Then came a long overland trek by horse to the shark infested waters of Lake Nicaragua, two abortive attempts to run the length of Lake Nicaragua by native canoe, a successful crossing of the lake in a small, overloaded schooner, another canoe trip down to the sea, a trip on the brig, Mechanic and finally home on the Polly Hinds.
