  Master Mariner, The Life and Voyages of Amasa Delano, Chapter IV   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Amasa filled his last water cask and started down the river, and with the current aiding the drive of their oars they were soon at the mouth of the river.
Amasa had reason to be thankful, the savages he out-witted being of the kinky woolly-headed type, which, by all the accounts of South Sea Island explorers in the ship's library, held extreme hatred against white people-such hatred that whichever would bring them a white man's head, that one they would make a headman.
Amasa and several brother officers went ashore, and theft feet had hardly hit the beach when they saw the women of the settlement running out from their habitations, grabbing up theft children, and setting full sail for the woods.

AMASA hunted the islands off the south coast of Chile until satisfied it would be wasting time to hang on there longer.
The Bay wasn't what Amasa would choose for a harbor, wood and water being scarce there; but during the McCluer expedition days he had learned that looking in on an island king or chief early was always good policy; and also, where the king lived was usually a safer place for foreigners.
Amasa instructed his officers and men to keep to weather of any group of natives they met while ashore on any of the other small islands.

 Master Mariner, The Life and Voyages of Amasa Delano, Chapter XVII
Amasa had no suspicion of what they had in mind to do when they left the ship, and he upbraided them for their action when he learned of it.
Amasa did not say it in his own favor, but a moving influence behind that looking out for himself only was--must have been--his unquenchable purpose to make such a success of this sealing voyage that the folks back home would be placed in good circumstances after his return from it.
Amasa wasn't the kind to give up hope while he could draw a breath, but his breath was coming quick and fast when he saw Vose's boat being hauled to the water's edge for a launching.
