Note: Translated by an unknown hand and first published by Routledge in 1877. This translation begins: "For the first few moments the joy of reunion completely filled all hearts. Lord Glenarvan had taken care that the ill-success of their expedition should not throw a gloom over the pleasure of meeting, his very first words being: "Cheer up, friends, cheer up! Captain Grant is not with us, but we have a certainty of finding him!" "
