Howell tells how his group of missionaries set off from England but never reached their destination. Approaching Rio de Janeiro they were taken by the French privateer, the "Buonaparte" under Captain Rivière, which then sailed, along with the captive "Duff", to Montevideo. There the captives spent some time in comparative freedom. Howell records his observation of the customs, especially at Easter, of the people of Montevideo and the surrounding region. He then recounts their transfer to a Portuguese ship, the "Medusa", and the voyage back to Lisbon, where they were freed. The narrative is accompanied by many pious asides.
