of Chili, about ninety miles inland.  Thence he returned and sailed for Peru, where he embarked for places in the north.  At Santiago his servant had been taken ill, and, though recovering, was unfitted to travel.  His master thereupon furnished him with funds to set up a store, and took another servant, with whom he underwent many adventures.  At Lima he visited the celebrated churches, and purchased souvenirs for his friends and relatives.  Having stored a little yacht with provisions, he started with his servant on a voyage of about three hundred miles up the river Guayaquil, and was for some days under the Line; he made similar journeys in a canoe with his servant and two Indians, still bent on collecting and preserving rare birds of gorgeous plumage.  He also visited and explored silver and copper mines.  During all this travelling he continued his home correspondence with great regularity.  But the first news he received was bad.  Scarcely had the “Pauline” left sight of our shores, when Sir Edward Doughty died, and Roger’s father and mother were now Sir James and Lady Tichborne.  By and by the wanderer began to retrace his steps, came back to Valparaiso, and with his last new servant, Jules Berraut, rode thence in one night ninety miles to Santiago again.  Again he started with muleteers and servants on the difficult and perilous journey over the Cordilleras, and thence across the Pampas to Buenos Ayres, Monte Video, and Rio de Janeiro.  In April 1854, there was in the harbour of Rio a vessel which hailed from Liverpool, and was called the “Bella.”  She was about to sail for Kingston, Jamaica, and it was to Kingston that Roger had directed his letters and remittances to be forwarded, that being a convenient resting place on his journey to Mexico, where he intended to spend a few months.  The “Bella” was a full-rigged ship of nearly 500 tons burden, clipper-built, and almost new.  Aboard this ship, then taking in her cargo of coffee and logwood, came one April morning a young English gentleman who introduced himself as Mr. Tichborne.  He was dressed in a half tourist, half nautical costume, and wanted a passage to Kingston.  Travelling with servants, hiring yachts and canoes, buying paintings, curiosities, and natural history specimens, had proved more expensive than he expected.  His funds were exhausted; nor could his purse be replenished until he got to Kingston, where letters of credit were expected to be waiting for him.  It was some little time before the captain believed the young man’s story, but when he did, he not only undertook to convey him and his people to Kingston; he determined to help him in a matter of some delicacy and not a little danger; for when the vessel was near sailing, Roger was found to be without that indispensable requisite, a passport.  Great excitement then prevailed in Brazil on the subject of runaway slaves.  Black slaves had escaped by making themselves stowaways; “half-caste” people, relying on their comparative fairness of skin,
