PREFACE.

My dear young Readers, in presenting this book to you I have only to repeat what I have said in the prefaces of my former works namely, that all the important points and anecdotes are true; only the minor and unimportant ones being mingled with fiction. With this single remark, I commit my work to your hands, and wish you a pleasant ramble, in spirit, through the romantic forests of Brazil.

Yours affectionately,

r. m. ballantyne.
